Chapter 164 Talented Seedlings
Yang Xiong came to Hanzhong with the purpose of restoring agricultural production here.
Before coming here, Xu Wuxiang had introduced the local situation to him in detail. Not only was the people's livelihood here in decline, but the people's hearts were also destroyed by the numerous thieves.
The government is a very distant thing for the common people. In the third year of Chongzhen, large families moved to Guanzhong, leaving a group of poor people to fend for themselves here.
Eleven years later, this place has completely turned into a ghost.
If a place wants to develop, capital is indispensable. When all the people in a place are composed of extremely poor people, then the development of this place is impossible.
However, this is also the clean land that Yun Zhao has always hoped for.
In such a land, any change will not encounter resistance, because no matter how it changes, it cannot be worse than it is now.
The thieves in Hanzhong not only destroyed the production order, but also destroyed the inherent family of the Ming people.
The families here are extremely broken, and more people exist in the world as one person.
In this case, farm-style collective production became Yang Xiong’s only choice.
Collective, collective, we must first have people!
So, he planned to start with the children, and then use the children to drive those cowardly people down the mountain.
There were four children who went back to deliver rice porridge. The other children also wanted to give it to them. Unfortunately, they drank too quickly and there was no rice porridge left.
Glancing at the children who were looking at the empty pot, Yang Xiong said: "You can call them all to eat together."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of children ran towards the mountain. .
"Let's go, move the camp down a hundred feet."
Yang Xiong ordered, Huang Gui and others pointed at Yang Xiong with their fingers, then hurriedly packed up their things and continued walking down the mountain. When he was about to go out of sight, he stopped and continued to light the fire to cook porridge.
When Licheng came back, he didn't pay attention to the changes in the mere 100 feet of road. He just wanted to come back quickly and get some porridge for his mother.
Yang Xiong was very generous. After the porridge was cooked, he gave Licheng a big bowl, so Licheng ran away again.
In the evening, the porridge pot has arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
A large group of children stayed around the porridge pot, and there were many adults standing on the mountainside, looking down the mountain...
It’s not like no one has noticed that the region has changed. They are willing to take this risk simply because of their desire for food.
Just like a wild animal entering a cage or a prey falling into a trap, it is a natural process.
Five days later, there was basically no one on Lijiaping.
More than 6,000 people have already lived in simple wooden houses on the farm.
Life here is very good. They have food to eat every day and they are given clothes. Although the clothes are a little worn,But they were washed clean and were somehow better than their own clothes.
After eating someone else’s food, living in someone else’s house, and wearing someone else’s clothes, it is only natural that you do some work for them.
I don’t know where this official came from, but his family is extremely wealthy.
There are thirty-six farm cattle alone, all kinds of farm tools are brand new, and the seeds are also the best. When these farmers who have not cultivated the land for a long time touch the seeds, they immediately I decided it was a good thing.
Yang Xiong sat under the eaves of the wooden house, looking at the farmers, peasant women, and children running around on the land all over the mountains and fields in the distance. He took a comfortable sip of tea and said to Huang Gui: "This guy That's what a farmer should be like."
Huang Gui said with a smile: "It's late this year, so we can only plant millet, buckwheat, beans, and rapeseed. However, there will be some harvest in autumn. If you plan to call back all the people in the mountains, then the deficit this year will be a big hole."
Yang Xiong said: "The accounts of Lantian County are not calculated this way."
Huang Guidao: "How can we calculate it otherwise?"
Yang Xiong smiled and said to Huang Guidao: "This money itself comes from the people, not us, let alone the value we create, take it It is natural for the people to use it for the people.
Now, the people here use the money and food of the people in Guanzhong. One day, the people in Guanzhong will also use the money and food of the people in Hanzhong. At present, these expenditures. For us, it’s just complementary support.
Isn’t the idea of us people no longer worrying about hunger?
In this world, there is no shortage of people. All!
As long as we balance yin and yang, the people will arrange their own lives.
The important thing is to give them an environment in which they can live! ”
Huang Gui frowned and said: "Just the day before yesterday, Xu Wuxiang emptied the prison in Nanzheng, killing heads and making rivers of blood. Will it give bad thoughts to the people?"
Yang Xiong sighed softly and said: "Good people must survive. The world cannot be filled with strongmen.
In Hanzhong, where three or five people can call themselves peaceful even if they get together King, when he has a few hundred people, he will become the king of peace. When he has a thousand people, he will dare to claim to be the son of destiny. It is a mess. How can it be done without killing?
Xu Wu wants to rectify Hanzhong. According to the rules, we are civil servants, killing and rescuing people, all for the sake of Hanzhong's safety and mutual support."
Huang Gui shook his head and said: "There will always be unjust deaths."
Yang Xiong sneered and said: "Actually, they all died unjustly! If the Ming court could do something to suppress the local civil unrest, there would not be so many grass-headed kings in the local area. From this From a perspective, they were really wronged.
Do you think Guanzhong is definitely better than Hanzhong?
Huang Gui, let me tell you, it’s not.of.
It is the county magistrate who governs Guanzhong well, it is we who make the people of Guanzhong comfortable with food and clothing, and it is the Lantian army that eliminates the possibility of local people to rise up in rebellion. Therefore, Guanzhong will become a paradise on earth. .
Huang Gui, this time you left the greenhouse of the academy and followed me to this barbaric land. You couldn't turn your mind for a while. I must tell you that this is not Guanzhong, but a land where tigers and wolves are rampant. .
Huang Gui said with a smile: "My job is to be a teacher in the academy. Kindness and kindness are my fundamentals. Even if these fundamental starting points are wrong, I will continue to persist."
You are officials and aliens. You look at people differently from ordinary people.
I am different. A bad child will become a good child in my hands, and a vicious child will become a good child in my hands. In our eyes, people are not good or bad, and they all end up being good in the end. It must be corrected through education.
Just like a crooked sapling, we have a way to turn it into a towering tree.
Therefore, stop using your set of official theories to disgust us teachers.
Only by doubling our kindness and kindness can we educate the world. ”
After Huang Gui finished speaking, he walked into the moist field, looked at the new land that the plowshare had just turned, saw earthworms rolling in the soil, and swallows flying overhead, and raised his arms He shouted to Li Cheng, who was helping his father plow the fields in the distance: "Li Wazi, if you have a chance to go to school, will you go?" "
Licheng didn't like Yang Xiong, but he liked Huang Gui very much, who had a birthmark as big as a baby's hand on his face. He stopped the hoe in his hand and said to Huang Gui with sweat: "I won't go. I have to help my dad with work. "
When Li Xiong heard this, he also stopped the hoe in his hand and said to Huang Gui with a smile: "Mr. Huang, can you give us some time? When the crops are harvested this season, the boss will distribute the money and grain." , my family will definitely save some bundles to send to my husband.
This child must study, and I, Li Xiong, have to support this child in studying.
Huang Gui looked at the honest father and son in front of him, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I don't know how many talented people have been destroyed by this stupid world." "
Li Xiong smiled and said: "Zhuo Jing is a person who has read books. It is her lifelong wish to let this child study.
Huang Gui raised his hand and stroked Licheng's forehead and said: "Go to Yushan Academy. There is no need for education, no money or food. It only takes care of the children's food and clothing, as long as the children have a heart to learn." "
Li Xiong said in surprise: "Is there such a place? "
Huang Gui smiled and said: "Yes, I am from there. Back then, someone bought me back with forty pounds of millet, provided me with education, gave me food and clothing, and taught me how to be a human being. After that, my husband thought that I was suitable for teaching, so he stayed in the academy. "
"In this case, why did you come to Hanzhong?
Huang Gui patted Licheng on the head and said with a smile: "Some people think that the children in the academy are poor because of their wealthy life."Gradually, the number of places for children from Guanzhong to enter Yushan Academy has been reduced, and some places have been freed up for children who are truly motivated and want to do something for the world.
This is a great thing! "
Licheng's eyes were shining with hope, but when his eyes fell on Yang Xiong, the light of hope gradually disappeared.
Huang Gui couldn't help but laugh. , pointed at Yang Xiong and said to Licheng: "You owe him fifty kilograms of rice, right? "
Licheng nodded and remained silent.
Huang Gui said seriously: "You don't owe him fifty catties of white rice, but you owe the master of Lantian County fifty catties of white rice. .
What I am buying with these fifty pounds of rice is not your body, but a hero who can redeem this troubled world.
The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water, which is the true nature of men of our generation.
The master of Lantian County does not need you to return fifty kilograms of white rice to him. He wants you to return the fifty kilograms of white rice a thousand times or a hundred times to the land that has nurtured our ancestors for generations and to our ethnic group.
In this way, the visit to this world is worthy of our lives, and the visit to Yushan Academy is worthy of our visit. "
"Yushan Academy..."
Huang Gui's words seemed to bring back Li Xiong's long-standing memory... He seemed to have heard this name there.
"How long will this child be gone?
Huang Gui said with his hands behind his back: "Leaving you means that this child will leave you forever. He will go to the windy and sandy place in the northwest to be tempered, and he will have to grow up slowly in hardships." , and then there will be a mountain of heavy schoolwork weighing on him.
In eight years, you can only go to see him, he will not have time to come back.
After you have completed your studies, the world is big and you can go anywhere. "
Li Xiong's face gradually became troubled...
Li Cheng raised his face and said, "Mr. Huang, I am willing to go!" ”
