Chapter 25 Fantasy! A knife that kills without showing blood!
Yun Zhao originally didn’t want to get involved in specific matters.
However, the young Lantian regime did not have a deep foundation and had not had time to sum up its own unique governance method. Yun Zhao had to adapt some of the experiences deep in his mind.
A person's intelligence depends on the breadth of information he receives.
To put it bluntly, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty at this time did not know much more about the world than the people in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It can even be said that they knew less.
In order to consolidate its rule, the Zhu Dynasty ruthlessly restricted the free movement of the people. Except for some special classes, such as scholars who could lead the way around the world, even the actions of merchants were restricted. will be subject to strict restrictions.
There are many people who never go more than thirty miles away from the place of birth from birth to death.
It is impossible to expect these illiterate and disaster-stricken people to enthusiastically embrace the new world at this time.
Enthusiastic poets will praise the simplicity of the people, while good officials who want to lead the people forward will despair of the people who are too simple.
Simpleness represents stubbornness and unchangeableness.
At this time, Ming Dynasty has entered a new era that requires flexible operation of the brain.
People have not kept up with the changes of the times. This is the worst situation.
After the simple people learned that their supreme leader was coming, they, under the leadership of the local chiefs, welcomed Yun Zhao's arrival by eating a pot of pulp.
The legendary county magistrate came. Ordinary soup, rice, water and wine were not enough to express the enthusiasm of the people, so they killed six pigs... and cleverly invited a few elderly people. Send it to the place where Yun Zhao is staying.
The ordinary pork was naturally distributed to the accompanying officials and the men in black.
In order to prevent the officials from sorting the best thing--the pig's head--by mistake, they specially marked each fat pig's head--so Yun Zhao naturally saw a person with the honor of the county. The named pig head.
Yun Zhao was very satisfied. This pig's head was the fattest, much larger than Feng Ying's. Especially the pair of ears as big as cattail leaf fans were Yun Zhao's favorite.
Xu Wuxiang didn’t get a pig’s head.
So his expression was extremely ugly, and the faces of the other village chiefs from Lantian who did not have a pig head classification were also extremely ugly, and some of them were almost furious.
They really didn’t expect that these stupid district chiefs would actually do such a thing beyond their expectations.
Before Xu Wuxiang was about to burst into protective anger, Yun Zhao said that this was good, especially the pig head with the word "county honor" hanging on the ear, it must be extremely delicious if cooked with enough heat. of.
As for the pig’s head with the word “Mrs.” hanging on it, it’s best to cut it open, boil the pig’s head until it’s tender, and then take off the meat and leave a layer of skin.One layer of head meat, one layer of ears and tongue are arranged, wrapped in gauze, and then pressed with a bluestone overnight... Wow, add dipping sauce and drink with it, it tastes great!
In the following time, Xu Wuxiang kept wiping the sweat on his forehead to make Yun Zhao understand that these people were just stupid and had absolutely no intention of offending the county magistrate, not at all. No - they are just plain simple or stupid.
Yun Zhao smiled and passed away...
He ordered the cook who accompanied the army to cook the pig heads, and specially invited the local chiefs to drink together.
When the banquet just started, the local chiefs were all trembling with fear. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they found that Yun Zhao was a friendly person and always smiled, and their courage gradually increased. It got bigger.
Some people say that the new grain is not good. Potatoes will not grow big, corn will not produce cobs, and high-yielding buckwheat will not produce high yields. However, sweet potatoes are a good thing, and it is common to produce several thousand kilograms per acre of land.
If you eat too much sweet potatoes, people will easily vomit acidic water. They cannot sell them, and the government can’t do anything. Therefore, every household has stored a cellar of sweet potatoes. Seeing that this year’s sweet potatoes are growing again Coming down, I'm so worried...
Hearing what they said, Yun Zhao glanced at the guy from Lantian who always said there was not enough food to eat. He was so scared that the guy shrank his neck and stopped talking. , I just hope those idiots will stop saying anything they shouldn’t.
When they calculated grain production, they had already included sweet potatoes as vegetables.
In Lantian, things like sweet potatoes can only be accounted for at 10% of the same weight of grain.
However, Lantian people really use sweet potatoes as vegetables. They like the leaves of sweet potatoes even more. As for the sweet potatoes they produce, except for feeding livestock, the rest are used to grind starch. Vermicelli.
As for starch and vermicelli, they must be recorded in commercial accounts...
As long as the quantity of sweet potatoes is smaller, then Lantian will be able to provide more food for the people of Hanzhong. .
This is an implicit utilization policy. As long as Lantian doesn't find out, he can continue to receive subsidies. The extra food will become Hanzhong's savings. With savings, he can carry out commercial activities... For example, put All the sweet potatoes turned into vermicelli...
Yunzhao decided not to dampen everyone's enjoyment of the wine, pretending not to know, and continued to have fun with the locals who were growing up there for the first time.
There are 113,671 households in Hanzhong Prefecture!
Before the bandits wreaked havoc in Hanzhong, Nanzheng County alone had more than 67,000 Dingkou, and Hanzhong Prefecture governed Nanzheng, Chenggu, Yangxian, Mioxian, and Xixiang , Zhenba, Ningqiang, Lueyang, Liuba, Foping and Baocheng eleven counties.
In other words, during the more than ten years when bandits were raging, Hanzhong lost more than 60% of its population.
“I have made the situation very clear in the document. If Hanzhong wants to truly restore its former vitality, it not only needs the support of Lantian, but also the support of Lantian., sparse population is also a big problem. ”
After seeing off the village chiefs, Yun Zhao and Xu Wu wanted to take a walk along the path in the back garden of the government office. When Xu Wu wanted to speak, his voice was low, even a little tired.< /p>
“What improvements have you made? ”
“Gathering the population and attracting the population. Previously, Yang Xiong was in charge of this aspect in Hanzhong, and the results were remarkable. People in mountainous areas left the mountains and forests and gradually began to migrate to places with convenient transportation, sufficient water sources, and flat land.
It is because too many extremely poor people have come out of the mountains and forests that the development of Hanzhong has stalled.
Some people who came out of the mountains and forests did not even have a fig leaf, and some people who survived alone in the mountains and forests even forgot how to speak.
I think there is something wrong with our policy. ”
“Oh? Tell me? "
"We cannot wait for bandits to completely destroy some good places and then rebuild from the ruins. This will require too much time and money. "
"So, do you disapprove of what Zhou Guoping and the others did in Nanjing? "
"Agree! ”
“Hey, I thought you would object. "
"What I object to is allowing people like Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong to continue to wreak havoc on the Ming Dynasty. "
Yun Zhao looked at Yuanshan and said: "It was not just Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong who wreaked havoc on the Ming Dynasty, but also emperors, royal families, officials, landlords, powerful men, wealthy businessmen, and clans.
You mean we will destroy these people with our own hands?
It’s nothing more than breaking some bottles and jars, and to be honest, I don’t care! "
Xu Wuxiang looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Are you going to break the old world with your own hands and create a new world? "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "I am even willing to share my own power with the people of the world. Do you think I will allow those old power classes to continue to hold power in our new world? ?
Why?
Those in power should always be in power?
It’s time to change.
Xu Wuxiang, you have become cowardly. "
Yun Zhao put his hands on Xu Wuxiang's shoulders and spoke his thoughts earnestly, then left, leaving the dull Xu Wuxiang behind.
Yun Zhao After Zhao returned to his place of residence, he was in a very bad mood. He keenly discovered that those who had been strong-willed in the past were slowly changing.
This was not a good phenomenon.
When Wu Xiang returned home, he was also restless.
He also suddenly found that his thinking seemed to be unable to keep up with Yun Zhao's changes.
He refused to admit that he had become cowardly. He felt that he had not changed.
When his gentle wife A'dai brought him a cup of tea, he took a sip and complained that today's tea was not good, so he listened to A'dai. Said: "When the county magistrate is here, don't drink sparrows."tongue. ”
For some reason, Xu Wu wanted to look down at the comfortable and exquisite shoes on his feet, the green robe on his body, and the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and then raised his hand to touch the exquisite hairpin. I thought there was a storm in my heart.
At this moment, Xu Wuxiang looked more like a prefect than a Lantian official...
Xu Wuxiang slowly raised his head and looked up. He looked at his docile wife and said, "When the county minister leaves, you can take the children back to Lantian Manor and take good care of them. "
Adai was surprised and said: "What should you do? "
Xu Wuxiang slowly took out the jade hairpin from his bun and placed it on the table. He then took off the jade pendant and placed it on the table. He looked at his wife A'dai calmly and said, "I have pledged myself to the country. , life and death are just trivial matters. ”
“I, I didn’t take good care of myself? "A'dai saw that her husband's pockmarked face was twisted with pain, and she was a little scared.
Xu Wu wanted to hold A'dai's hand and said, "It is my blessing to marry you. , but it was your misfortune. Xu Wu wanted to be born in poverty, but when he met the county magistrate, he turned into a flying roc.
I, a roc bird, can’t just care about my home. I have to spread my wings to protect the world.
Since we got married, although we have had enough food and clothing, we are not rich after all. For this, I owe you a lot. "
When A'dai heard what her husband said, her pretty face turned red and she whispered: "I just like ugly people." "
Xu Wuxiang smiled bitterly and said: "In order to get closer to you, I did use some tricks. ”
“You mean that Mr. Rabbit named Zhang Ruoyu? ”
“He is not a Rabbit Lord, but a great husband. Now, he is working as a village chief in Gucheng County, Xiangyang. It was I who forced him to pretend to be Rabbit Lord. Otherwise, I would really There is no chance of winning your favor. "
Adai chuckled and said: "Is this why you always follow me? ”
Xu Wu thought: “I suddenly discovered that I haven’t come out of the false illusion that I had. "
"Coming out now? "
"You have come out, so from now on you must learn to accept a real Xu Wuxiang..."
