Chapter 131 The Value of Life
Yun Zhao did not communicate much with Luo Yagu and Deng Yuhan. Xu Yuanshou was doing these things.
First of all, because he was too young, these people had no desire to communicate with him in detail. They only hoped that he could ensure that his research process would not be interrupted by trivial matters such as money.
Secondly, Yun Zhao did not know the direction of their research, and now he rashly hoped that they would devote themselves to the research of gunpowder, artillery, and firearms. There were still some problems.
Yun Zhao feels that these people are useful, but he needs to get familiar with them before he can take action.
Those pirates and prostitutes are very cute, especially those prostitutes who just came to Yushan. After washing, they were ready to do business, and actively asked who should share the money they earned for protection. Their safe leader.
When those pirates learned that they would not be hanged and were about to become craftsmen, they naturally asked the Yun robbers how much their wages were!
Every pirate is actually a qualified craftsman, which is determined by the natural environment. There are no idlers on the pirate ship. Everyone needs to show the value of their existence on the ship. The most important thing is that these pirates Can fire!
Can fire a variety of cannons.
They have seen all kinds of backward cannons and fired many cannons. Most importantly, they have also been bombarded by the most advanced cannons in the world.
It was based on this that Xu Guangqi bought these seemingly useless prisoners of war from Yun Zhao.
The prostitutes came with the pirates. When they were at sea, they were symbiotic with the pirates. No matter how fierce the fight between the pirates was, they would not hurt the prostitutes in the end. Of course, in the exchange of fire, It doesn't count if you die accidentally.
The pirate leader who wins the battle naturally has the power to collect poll taxes from the prostitutes, and also obtains the protection of the bandit leader.
So, in a sense, these women are not slaves.
Yun Zhao has no plans to open a brothel in Yushan. Although Yun Hu feels it is a pity, Yun Zhao is still prepared to use these women as maids.
As for the pirates who begged for wages, Yunhu had ten thousand ways to make them forget about wages and work wholeheartedly.
No matter what, Yun Zhao's arrangements in Yushan have been initially completed.
The rest will be left to time. He will slowly blend all the loose, inappropriate, and even wrong things into a whole, and as the blending time increases, it will become more... solid.
On May 24th, the weather was so sunny that it made people feel bored.
The stingy Zhang Lili held a grand banquet in Xi'an this time, and Yun Zhao naturally participated. The banquet was full of water and land, a rare luxury!
In the center of the banquet was a pale human head!
Of course, this head is not a real human head, but made of tofuCarved.
This head also has a nice name - Wang Jiayin!
Zhang Lili held up his chopsticks and greeted the officials enthusiastically to eat. The first time he used his chopsticks, he took out Wang Jiayin's eyeballs, put them in his mouth and chewed them. He ate so happily that he was eaten. The grapes that served as eyeballs exploded in his mouth, juices flying everywhere.
"Wang Jiayin's head was taken by General Cao Wenzhao. Colleagues, we can only eat this tofu head here to relieve the hatred in our hearts."
< p> Yun Zhao also took a bite of Wang Jiayin's head. There was no special taste, but the hair vegetable used as hair had some characteristics.Wang Jiayin was killed by his subordinates. Cao Wenzhao got a big deal and got Wang Jiayin's head. What awaited him was the fate of promotion and wealth.
This head brings far more benefits than this, and also benefits Shaanxi officials. Zhang Lili’s transfer documents have finally been issued. In two months, he can take his family back to Nanjing to serve as a civil servant. Zuo Shilang.
Because of this, there was this sumptuous feast.
People are all the same. When living their lives, they always want to save their own things and don’t let other people’s things go bad.
When I no longer think about living a good life, I wish I could have wine and meat every day to make up for my poor self.
If an official leaves his position without spending all the money in the treasury, he is not a qualified official.
It was almost an act of revenge, after all, his previous officials had left him with an empty warehouse that could starve rats to death.
Wang Jiayin was dead after all. Even if his head was really cooked and eaten by the emperor, it didn't matter. However, Wang Jiayin's men were not eliminated immediately. They were in Yangcheng, Shanxi Continue to gather and prepare for a larger battle.
No one in Lantian County rebelled.
Everyone is busy preparing to harvest the crops now, and they don’t have time to rebel.
After the crops are harvested, everyone will be busy grinding the fields and drying the grain, and there will be no time to rebel.
After the summer harvest, autumn grain must be planted, and after the autumn grain harvest, a wife must be married. The child planted last winter should also be born at this time. People who are busy all day long have no time to rebel.
Not only the people of Lantian County think this way, but also the refugees who come to Lantian County to seek life. They have to work to earn money and food every day, and they want to save more food every day.
When people do these things, it is easy to forget the unfair things they have experienced before.
This is the hope that this thing is at work, so there is this weird saying that suffering is wealth.
Yun Zhao does not believe this statement. He believes that the hardships people have suffered in the past are actually personal disasters, bad luck, and bad things, but they are not wealth.
Yun Zhao, who was an official, neverBelieving in hope, he only believes in what appears in front of him, and has no intention of understanding what he does not understand or what he does not know.
Hope belongs to scholars, students, and people who are suffering, but it cannot belong to officials, because officials are the executors who promote mature things, and things that are too advanced basically have their own differences. All kinds of defects.
Officials basically don’t talk about hope. If an official discusses hope with you, you are about to be out of luck.
Zhang Lili is now discussing the future of Shaanxi with Yun Zhao!
"The big thief has been given the head, and the rest of the big bandits will be wiped out soon. Shaanxi is about to usher in an era of great governance. It's a pity that I finally hoped for stability but ended up taking advantage of others.
小Zhao, you are so lucky. If you wait a few more years, you will be reused. Hahaha, from now on, it will not be me and others who will take care of you, but you, Xiao Zhao, will take care of us old people."
Yun Zhao. Frowning, he said: "Lantian County has just enough to eat now. Even if there is some surplus, we still have to pay back the debts owed in the past two years..."
Zhang Lili finally sighed and said: "Sure enough, It’s time for people to leave.”
Yun Zhao refused to accept this sentence.
Zhang Lili wanted some bribes, but Yun Zhao naturally refused to give them!
How can anyone give gifts to outgoing officials?
This was not true hundreds of years ago, and it will not be true hundreds of years later!
Yun Zhao left Xi'an that night, and Zhang Lili didn't get what he expected until Yun Zhao disappeared.
However, he still understands it very well. If he were put in Yun Zhao's position, he would make the same choice.
The death of Wang Jiayin did not have much impact on Yun Zhao. This was what should have happened in history.
It is different for people like Yunmeng and Yunhu.
When Yun Zhao returned to Yunjiazhuangzi, he was dragged to a meeting by these elders.
"Yunshi can no longer rob."
This is the tone set by Yunmeng.
"Our family can live better now without relying on robbery." Yunhu said this with his eyes on the ground, without any dissatisfaction.
"Thieves like Wang Jiayin are dead. It seems that the thieves can't do more. Our family has been doing this for hundreds of years, so it's time to stop."
Yun Zhao Looking at the two elders who regard robbery as their lifelong career, I don't know what to say.
The two old gangsters can make the determination to change their minds. It seems that Wang Jiayin's death has touched them too much.
"Okay, we won't rob."
Yun Zhao agreed with the two elders' suggestions, and it was obvious that they breathed a long sigh of relief.
When I was poor in the past, life was basically meaningless, so robbing was a matter of course and a must.
Now that we are rich, life has become valuable, and robbery has become uneconomical.
Yun Zhao smiled, he felt that this was his second achievement in this world.
——Improves the value of everyone’s life!
