Chapter 80: Giving is always more than taking away
Yun Zhao had no intention of reasoning with these squires at this time.
In the face of such a major disaster, being reasonable will only delay the time and effectiveness of disaster reduction and self-rescue.
The democratic model will only do bad things in the face of such major events, causing even worse consequences.
Of course, Yun Zhao still used some methods.
For example, at the beginning, the Lantian County government’s announcement stated that food from all households would be taken away and distributed uniformly.
When it came time to implement the plan, Yun Zhao only targeted the upper and middle households, and naturally ignored the people in the lower households.
As for the upper and middle households, they do not need to take out all the food at home, they only need to pay enough food for Yunzhao.
So, Yun Zhao obtained the food he needed according to his own wishes, without many obstacles in the way.
Yun Zhao knew very well that if all the people's rations were taken away, his fate would not be much better than that of Eunuch Huang who was beaten to death by a group of people.
This method was often used by leaders in later generations. They would often set a very high goal for their subordinates to complete. When the subordinates were exhausted and only completed 70% of the goal, the leader would be very generous. He takes all responsibilities and makes his subordinates feel grateful.
In fact, 70% of the goals achieved by his subordinates have exceeded the requirements of his superiors.
Yunzhao suffered a lot from this kind of loss.
With food, Yunzhao has appeal...
When the farmers are slack, the people don't mind keeping their own food rations to survive the famine and going to work outside to earn a bite. Eat.
In addition, the little magistrate of Lantian County has gone crazy. It is very unwise to disobey the order of this crazy little magistrate at this time.
Since the task was divided into four large households, the four large households in turn divided the task into one hundred and ten middle households. Then, these one hundred and ten middle households would lead the county's own farmers, and the tenant farmers began to follow Yun Zhao's instructions. It is required to bring your own tools to build ponds, canals, waterwheels, waterwheels, rollovers and other things.
Hong Chengchou did not leave Lantian County. Yun Zhao knew that he was in Lantian County, but did not know where he was.
"I'm afraid the whole of Shaanxi can't find 20,000 dans of grain collected together!"
"If the former Shanzhai had 3,000 dans of grain, it would have attracted others. Coveted, then, the 20,000 tons of grain in Lantian County will undoubtedly be as dazzling as the bright sun in the sky!"
"The only bandit who has the ability to come to Lantian County to rob grain is the Holy King of Shangnan! , Guabei King, Yiyifei, Zhentian King, these four groups of bandits
Since there are 20,000 dans of food, Lantian County will face the confluence of four groups of bandits this time.
< p>Are you ready?"Mr. Xu has been staying at the large construction site of Yushan Academy these days. After hearing about Yun Zhao, he hurried down the mountain without even having time to drink water.In one breath, a series of questions were thrown out.
Yun Zhao, who was chewing on a pot helmet and looking at the progress report on the construction of the pond, curled his lips and said: "This is not something I should be busy with, it is something Hong Chengchou should be busy with.
There are two buildings in Lantian County I'm afraid he was the one who spread the news about the tens of thousands of tons of food. This person likes to accomplish everything in one battle. I want to see his methods."
"Don't be careless. Once there is a problem with the food, you, Yun, will be in trouble. He will become the sinner pointed out by thousands of people in Lantian County."
Mr. Xu was a little anxious when he saw Yun Zhao's careless look.
Yun Zhao put down the document in his hand, poured a glass of water for Mr. Xu and said: "If I say that the reason why I burned the Yun family's IOU, or the reason why I risked the world's disdain to fight for my life, it's not me. What do you think about the real purpose?"
Xu Yuanshou put down the teacup he had just brought to his mouth and said seriously: "Are you betting on the lives of the people in Lantian County?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "There is no way, there are too many people in need of rescue. Once Lantian County starts to provide work-for-relief, it will immediately attract people who can't survive elsewhere.
Arrive At that time, Lantian County will be overcrowded, and 20,000 tons of food will not be enough no matter what!
You can think about it, there is a famine in the huge Guanzhong, and it is still winter, and Lantian County has already had five famines! More than a thousand victims.
When the people of Guanzhong find out that there is no hope for spring planting, how many people do you think will crowd into Lantian County, which seems to have food?
Is it ten thousand or twenty thousand? I don’t think it’s unusual for hundreds of thousands of victims to come to Lantian County to get food.
Even if I plunder all the food in Lantian County, it will definitely happen. There is no way to carry this group of people until the summer grain harvest.
Even if the summer grain harvest is good, one county cannot support so many people. You must know that Lantian County alone has a total of 43,000 people. More than a thousand people need to eat.
I can't conjure food out of thin air, so the only way is to steal it!"
Xu Yuanshou frowned and said: "You mean you. Are you going to rob giant bandits like King Shengshi, King Guabei, Yiyifei, and King Zhentian?"
Yun Zhao nodded indifferently and said: "Twenty thousand loads of grain will put these four families away from me? It's a good thing for us that the recent giants from Lantian County have come here!
If they don't come, Lantian County will always live in their shadow, and we won't be able to live in peace.
< p>Since Hong Chengchou suddenly became the governor of Yansui, suddenly had military power in his hands, he seemed to be a good commander, and he still wanted to destroy these four groups of bandits, why couldn't I have other ideas?When these four groups of bandits are entangled by Hong Chengchou, why don't I plot the lair of these four people?"
Xu Yuanshou finally drank the glass of water that had been sitting on his lips for a long time and sighed: "It's too risky. Your Yun clan doesn't have enough strength to attack one place, not to mention that you have to divide your troops in different places."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Old manTeacher, you underestimate the power of the people... The messy truths in my mind tell me that the people are the source of all power!
The old thieves of the Yun family took the food-deficient people in Lantian County to get food. In addition to sharing the food for public use, they could also share some of it themselves. Do you think anyone would Are you willing to take a risk for food and the treasure in the bandit's lair?
Even if the local people in Lantian County are unwilling, do you think the refugees are willing? "
Xu Yuanshou put the empty cup on the table with trembling hands, pointed at Yun Zhao and said: "If you don't change your evil intentions, you will lead all the people in Lantian County to become bandits! "
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "I don't have such intention, but if you want to live well in this world, you can't live without being strong!
Lantian County will grow new grains on a large scale in the future, and this county will definitely become safe and prosperous.
If you don’t even have the power to protect yourself, how can you protect the fruits of your labor?
In this damn troubled world - those who don't fight - die! "
Xu Yuanshou stared blankly at the honest and fat young man in front of him for a long time before whispering: "Are you creating your emperor's foundation? You didn't adopt the strategy of taking Shuzhong first, then Hanzhong, and encompassing Guanzhong, did you?
Your base camp will be the Qinling Mountains, am I right? "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Teacher's strategy is naturally excellent. "
Xu Yuanshou poured himself another glass of water. After drinking it all in one gulp, he still felt that his mouth was very thirsty. After drinking the whole bottle of water, he said: "In the future, you should tell me more about your head. The great truths here come from thin air.
I want to listen carefully.
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "Later, we have plenty of time. Now, sir, it's time for you to go with me to see the construction site of Beixiang Reservoir. I heard that they are going to cut off the water stone today." ”
After leaving the study, Yun Zhao returned to his appearance as a lively and active young man. After a while, he ordered people to break the ice and poke the pond with bamboo poles to check the depth of the water. I will ask the old farmer if it is possible to raise some miscellaneous fish in these ponds.
I will encourage the old woman to raise more chickens, and I will discuss with my wife about large-scale breeding in the ponds. The possibility of ducks.
In short, Yun Zhao wants to spread any news related to food to the people through this simplest way of communication.
Come to the reservoir construction site. , Yun Zhao finally had a smile on his face.
Beixiang Reservoir has always existed. The last time it was built was during the Chengzu period, when Emperor Chengzu had just defeated the Mongols. People in high spirits used the harvest from plundering the Mongols to build large-scale projects such as reservoirs and canals in the country.
Unfortunately, the Beixiang Reservoir was not completed from the beginning until the death of Emperor Chengzu. A thick dam was left for the younger generation, Yun Zhao.
Nowadays, the dam is full of people, the chants of hammering are heard one after another, and countless chickens and buses are busy on the dam...
Xu Yuanshou and Yun Zhao stood on a high place overlooking the Beixiang Reservoir at their feet. Seeing the lively labor scene, Xu Yuanshou said with emotion: "Watching such a scene always makes people feel heart-shaking, and they want to take part in it."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "You will get used to such scenes in the future. , Nowadays, these people only come to the construction site because of a mouthful of free food. When they spontaneously start to think that doing these big projects is for themselves, you will see another scene that makes people excited.
The labor at that time will give people hope. Such labor will not consume people's energy, but will only make people stronger.
Sir, I am. I hope the people of the Ming Dynasty will have something they have never had before."
"What do you want to give them?"
"Pride!"
