If you are a wolf, you must eat meat.
In many cases, the government is actually a wolf, and the wolf king among the wolves.
Of course, the wolf king has the obligation to lead the wolves to eat enough, and he also has the obligation to eat the sick and weak sheep in the flock to maintain the healthy growth of the sheep.
This is what Xia Wanchun did.
Pigs and sheep are too fat and are not conducive to growth. Therefore, it is necessary to choose pigs and sheep not to be too fat. This is also one of his powers.
One or two single pigs and sheep have become fat, which is of little use to the Lantian Imperial Court. Only turning one or two pigs and sheep into a large group of pigs and sheep will have some meaning to the Lantian Imperial Court. .
In the early days, business must be cultivated. This is a way for people to get rich quickly.
For now, the Lantian Imperial Court still needs more merchants to participate in its operations in order to save the poor people from past disasters.
So, it has become a matter of course for the merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture to separate their families.
Government also requires the efforts of officials to run. If the management is not good, the people will not have a good life. It is not uncommon to beg for food while guarding the gold and silver mountains.
A well-run place, even in a poor and remote place, can make the people under its control extremely wealthy.
None of the officials who came out of Yushan Academy were purely academics and eventually became civil servants. Those who were scholars all went to relevant academic institutions and those who could be civil servants were They are all people who cannot learn well.
So, in the Lantian Imperial Court, the first-class people seemed to always be intellectuals. They had the highest status, the most generous salary, and received the most care.
The salary of a Yushan Academy teacher is basically the same as that of a county magistrate.
The salary of a professor at Yushan Academy is basically the same as that of a prefect.
As for how much money researchers at Yushan Military Academy, Yushan Medical College, Yushan Agricultural College, and Yushan Institute of Geosciences can earn, outsiders generally don’t know. They only know about those institutes that operate big teapots. A researcher, everyone has a luxurious courtyard in Yushan City, and the food and clothing expenses of the family are absolutely unmatched by ordinary people.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, the Lantian imperial court's fiscal expenditures and income were very disproportionate.
The financial expenditure of 69 million silver dollars has completely depleted the financial resources accumulated in Guanzhong over the years.
As a result, in the first year of Xinhua, after deliberation by the Congress, the Lantian Imperial Court once again injected 87.65 million silver dollars into the poor tomorrow to develop agriculture, water conservancy, And redeem those people who are in despair.
Since ancient times, only the dynasty has taken money from the people. How has it ever been reasonable to take money from the dynasty?
For many years, people have believed that paying the imperial grain for farming is a matter of course.The matter of surname makes the people of tomorrow have more expectations for this new dynasty.
The li chief and the county magistrate personally went out to teach mulberry farming. The li chief and the county magistrate personally came out to encourage the people to do business. Chickens, ducks and geese mobilize all their strength to help the people get out of poverty.
The eyes of the officials sent by the Lantian Imperial Court in the Great Tomorrow are red with interest. Therefore, the people who have just owned their own land have a new enthusiasm for the land.
Early spring starts in Guangzhou. The difference between early spring and winter here is not very big. Only the buffaloes who are the first to enter the paddy fields know the difference between spring and winter.
When the rice fields here are filled with seedlings, spring will move all the way north.
Everywhere I go, the willows blow green and the spring water wrinkles.
On the barren wilderness, large groups of farmers finally appeared. They drove their livestock and began to sow the first seeds of the New Year into the soil.
Oddly enough, the various disasters that had wreaked havoc on the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years disappeared without a trace in the first year of Xinhua. In the past, the spring rain was as precious as oil, but this time it spread over a large area. Appeared on the land of Ming Dynasty.
The pattering of the next one is endless.
The plague disaster Xu Wuxiang imagined did not appear in Beijing, which was getting warmer. This made him want to go to the Temple of Heaven to kowtow and thank God for finally sparing this troubled city. City.
Zuo Maodi walked through Zhengyang Gate with his hands behind his back. Above his head, two swallows were chirping, and he crossed Zhengyang Gate and left the city for the countryside.
Today, there are obviously eleven more shops on Zhengyangmen Street. Although there are only six bamboo strip shops, Zuo Maodi is still very happy. Spring is here, everything is renewed, and people are always happy. There will be some changes.
Even if we have suffered too many disasters in the past, what must pass will eventually pass.
Listening to the sound of reading loudly from the school, Zuo Maodi was very sure that a new prosperous age would soon come.
As a fellow acquaintance of Shuntian Mansion, he naturally knew how much effort and money the Lantian Imperial Court had invested in making the city prosperous again.
Shuntianfu Yamen is located on Zhengyangmen Street. Every day, the sun rises from Zhengyangmen, and the first ray of sunshine will definitely shine on the main hall of Shuntianfu Yamen. The prefect Xu Wu wanted to call it To - remove filth.
He also hopes that this troubled city can get out of the haze of the past and return to normal as soon as possible.
Xu Wu thought that Zuo Maodi, the two most important bureaucrats in Shuntian Prefecture, never expected that the key to revitalizing Shuntian Prefecture does not lie in Shuntian Prefecture, but in Shanhaiguan!
When Li Dingguo's army confronted Wu Sangui and Li Hongji in Yishi, Shuntian Mansion was lifeless. People used to believe that officers and soldiers could not stop the slaves or enemies from the north.
When Li Dingguo captured Shanhaiguan, BeijingThe people in the city finally have a little bit of vitality.
When Li Dingguo's army advanced the front line to Motian Ridge inch by inch, someone in Shuntian Mansion was finally willing to stand up and really start to do things.
Jiannu brought too many unbearable memories to the people of Shuntian Prefecture. Now, with the rumbling sound of Li Dingguo's cannon, they have gradually disappeared from people's hearts.
The sun fell on Xu Wuxiang’s pockmarked face, which was indescribably weird. However, he enjoyed it very much. When Zuo Maodi walked in, Xu Wuxiang still didn’t move. , pointing and waving his hands, signaling Zuo Maodi to enjoy this rare sunshine with him.
"After checking, it is true that a reservoir can be built in Miyun Land."
Xu Wuxiang waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about these official duties, you and I brothers should enjoy it for a while longer." , The spring broadcast is about to begin. Whether the capital can get out of this disaster, the spring broadcast is really important."
Zuo Maodi sighed and sat on the first chair on his left, facing the sun. It just happened to shine on his head, making his head appear full of wisdom and radiant.
"Only the vibrant fields can comfort those who are injured."
Zuo Maodi was still chattering.
Xu Wu thought: "The human factor is no longer important. No matter how great the pain is, it will eventually turn into memories as time goes by. It is important to live in the present, and it is important to live in tomorrow."
"The people of Shuntian Prefecture finally remembered that our yamen applied for their own land. These days, Cang Cao was so busy that he had almost no time to rest. Water transportation finally came into play. Next, how will the Prefecture prepare to respond? What about those people from the Caobang?"
Xu Wuxiang sneered: "If they are willing to contribute to the country honestly, I don't mind giving them a taste of it. If they still If you think you are an indispensable group of people, then don't blame me for being cruel and lazy."
Zuo Maodi frowned and said: "Don't just apply pressure, use both kindness and power. We are currently. Can't do without water transportation."
Xu Wuxiang sneered and said: "Can't do without? Brother Zuo has lived in Chang'an for a long time, hasn't he ever taken a ride on Yushan Academy? "Train?"
"Train?"
"Yes, it is a train. Once we connect the railway from Southeast to Shuntianfu, this railway will run smoothly regardless of the weather. Tianfu transports various supplies by water, which is no longer a problem."
Zuo Maodi shook his head and said: "The railway is too far and the water transport is too close, we have no choice."
Xu Wuxiang laughed and said: "The reason why water transportation was important in the past was because Shuntian Prefecture was an important place in the capital and an important gateway to the country. Therefore, the demand for grain and fodder was almost endless.
Shuntian Prefecture today But it is no longer an important area in Gyeonggi Province. General Li Dingguo’s food and logistics supplies come from Shanxi and have nothing to do with our Shuntian Prefecture. Now, the population of Shuntian Prefecture has dropped by 40%., plus there are many fertile fields around Gyeonggi, if Shuntian Mansion cannot even support itself, I, Xu Wu, will not have the dignity to see Your Majesty again. ”
After listening to Xu Wuxiang’s words, Zuo Maodi sighed softly, stood up and left the government hall.
No day can be wasted, and he is responsible The official work of clearing the prison has not yet been completed, and there is no extra time to waste in basking in the sun.
A group of officials came in from the side door, holding everything they needed for "spring cattle hunting".
Xu Wu wanted to get down from his seat, open his arms and let the officials tie some colorful cloth strips to his body.
A spring cow made of wheat straw has been placed in the lobby.
After Xu Wu left the government office, the officials carried the spring ox, and Xu Wu wanted to dance and shout towards the farmland outside Zhengyang Gate.
The fields in spring had just been watered by a spring rain. The land was moist and exuded a rich earthy smell. A colorful spring cow came out of Zhengyang Gate, and the farmers surrounding the city gate immediately became excited.
p>A dark-faced farmer shook the ribbon tied in his hair and shouted: "The spring cow is out of the city! ”
Soon more people began to shout the same sentence.
The whip in Xu Wuxiang’s hand fell on Chun Niu’s buttocks again and again, over and over again. Shouting "Qinniu!" "
His voice was like magic, stirring the hearts of the people present.
"Qinniu! ”
This voice has not appeared here for a long time. These shouts finally went into the clouds. It seemed that God really heard the people’s shouts.
After the clouds obscured the morning sun, rain and fog began to float in the sky again. Far away in the field, an old apricot tree as dark as iron slowly bloomed the first apricot flower of this spring.
