Tomorrow

Chapter 15 The Birth of the Magic Beast

　　 In the face of disaster, the power of the collective can best be reflected.

　　 The collective strength of Lantian County has always been strong and unmatched.

　　 The more than four hundred houses that collapsed in Yushan City stood on the ground again within two months of the disaster.

The bricks and tiles in Yushan City are readily available, and the wood is from the county seat. As for people... After Lian Yunzhao personally participated in the construction of houses, he did his best to rebuild Yushan City in two months and can hold two thousand. The long-row bungalows with the human herringbone beam-column structure are not difficult.

The bricks and tiles in the ruins were picked up, and the remaining adobe was softened by the water, and the foundation was re-elevated. Each household still had a yard vacated. The yard was separated by a wooden fence. The more diligent family had planted it in the yard. Fruit tree.

　　 In the past two months, there has been no military struggle in Lantian County, but the rectification movement has not stopped. Yun Zhao plans to engrave the beliefs of the Lantian family on the hearts of every Lantian family in this reconstruction work.

The house is built, the red brick and blue tiles are really beautiful, row by row, one after another, the gate towers made of red bricks are not too tall, but one for each house. If the lintel hangs on the “House of Filial Piety” or “House of Filial Piety” With the small plaque of "Glorious Home", when the host family goes out, they will raise their heads and stand tall, consciously superior to others.

In the world of Ming Dynasty, wanting people to give up their hierarchical concept is purely dreaming. My family eats smelt noodles with meat smelt, and your family eats smelt noodles with tofu and smelt. In the ethos of making a gesture, talk about equality. Nonsense.

　　 The houses in Yushan City have been built, and the houses in the rest of Lantian County are naturally under construction.

　　 Most of the houses that collapsed in this earthquake were adobe houses and old houses. Most of the newly built houses in the past few years used wood and masonry, and not many collapsed.

　　When the new house was built, the big guys worked together, but after the house was built, the government announced the distribution plan, and the whole place was messed up.

In the past, everyone felt sorry for the people whose houses collapsed in the earthquake. After the houses were built, they thought that these people would owe the boss of the government a sum of money... When the big guy heard that these houses only had to pay a small amount of bricks and tiles. The house can be built with the timber money. In the next month, only 30 yuan will be paid to the government. After ten years, the house will be owned by the family. After the policy came down, in a single night, Lantian County collapsed another ten thousand tael house. More than a thousand rooms.

　　 Only this time, there were no casualties.

　　 Yun Zhao just drank a sip of tea after coming back from the construction site, and the new secretary Yang Xiong brought a paper book and asked Yun Zhao to sign it.

　　 "Why are there so many houses that need to be rebuilt?" Yun Zhao hurriedly glanced at the final statistics, somewhat speechless.

　　 "Three hundred and sixty dollars a year, three thousand and six hundred dollars for ten years are five taels of silver. Renting a house makes a lot of money. That's how the people settle their accounts. They are very simple."

　　 Yunzhao slumped on the chair and smiled bitterly: "Is there not a smart person who settles the bill?"

　　 Yang Xiong smiled and said: "There are naturally smart people, but they only get rid of their teeth with a punch by the people, and then they dare not be smart anymore."

　　 "Don't they know that after the concentrated residence, the land cultivated is a lot more, and the area of ​​the foundation they live on is actually shrinking?"

"I know, but what we built is a brick house. It looks good and sturdy. It has a reasonable layout. There is a yard in front that can serve as a grain farm. The backyard can raise pigs, chickens, and latrines... The most important thing is that the house has become Red brick house!"

　　 Yunzhao frowned and said: "Clarify this truth to the people, otherwise, we need to build more houses."

Yang Xiong carefully looked at Yun Zhao’s face and coughed in a low voice: “Building, the bricks and tiles accumulated in our brick kilns have piled up like mountains in the past few years. The wood that the people fell from the Qinling Mountains has been stacked for six years. This time, these materials can be consumed.

Bricks and tiles are originally mud. Lantian County has many kilns and a large population. As long as these kiln workers are ordered to make bricks and tiles day and night, they can turn the soil into money. Bricks, tiles and wood have become the real wealth of Lantian County, which is of great benefit to Lantian County.

　　 If possible, the humble post suggests building more houses. "

　　 Yunzhao looked up at Yang Xiong and sighed: "Everyone says that the graduates behind Yushan Academy are always inferior to the first three years. I disagree. Now it seems that it is true."

　　 Yang Xiong was not ashamed of hearing this, he bent down and said: "Please teach me from the senior."

　　 Yunzhao whispered: "Your suggestion is actually very good. You can earn back the benefits we have given to the people of Lantian County over the years.

　　 It seems that the people have houses, we get money, the people are satisfied, the government is satisfied, only the earth is suffering, and the potential of the earth is endless, and we can claim it endlessly.

　　 There is nothing wrong with doing this.

　　 If it is the earth's initiative to give, of course we can do this, but unfortunately, this is not the earth's gift. What drives all this is our selfishness and desire.

　　 As long as we participate in anything, a good thing will always turn into a bad thing.

Today, you Yang Xiong is content to get 3,600 dollars from the people, and the land they have spared. Tomorrow, you will feel that the money is too slow, and 3,600 dollars will become 36,000 dollars. , You will build a bungalow into a small building in order to save more land...In short, there will always be a way to withdraw money from the people.

In this way, you will find that the responsibilities of the government have changed. It is a group that manages the people, helps the people, and protects the people. After gaining a desire for profit, he becomes a group that derives benefits from the people. group.

What is the difference between a group like 　　 and the current government of Daming?

　　 You have learned the same course, then, do you think Xu Wu thinks that they can't think of such a way of making money?

The difference between their views and yours is that they believe that people’s lives change is a gradual process. People want better houses because their lives have undergone major changes, so they take the initiative to pursue them. A better house, better food, better clothes.

　　 We are the government, we can only guide them to pursue a better life, and all changes come from the consciousness of the people, rather than using tactics on them.

　　 All our strategies should be used on the enemy, let them feel the power of the strategy, and feel the pain of being calculated by us.

Rather than using the information we have to use tactics on our people, such a victory is meaningless, and the people will understand it one day. At that time, we will lose the most precious human heart, and there is nothing for a government. It is more important than the human heart. If we lose the human heart, even if our warehouse is filled with the wealth of the world, it will be harmful to our business.

For now, the people of Lantian County have just escaped the worries of famine. We need to accumulate more wealth among the people, so that the people believe every word we say, believe that following us and accepting our rule, they will get unprecedented Good life.

　　 This is our purpose of reorganizing Lantian County this time. "

Yang Xiong listened to Yun Zhao's words, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice: "The humble job still insists on his own views. However, since the county prince has made his life, I will frankly inform every Lantian county of this matter in the form of a document. People, let them make a choice."

Yun Zhao laughed when he heard this and pointed to Yang Xiong and said: "You are borrowing from the general trend that the Lantian county government has cultivated over the past ten years. You should put aside your identity and go to the people to tell them this truth. To see how they react."

　　 Yang Xiong smiled and said: "The humble post has only one pair of eyes and one nose. I am afraid that it cannot withstand the gang fights of the people. The humble post still thinks that it will be better to use the official notice to inform the people.

　　 Yunzhao waved his hand and said: "In this case, you can try it, remember, be fair and confess!"

　　 Yang Xiong smiled and took the papers after Yun Zhao's review, and said: "Lu Xiangsheng is now in Dali County. He is not in contact with the government, and he takes two old servants and trekking on the ground in Guanzhong with two feet."

"What is he doing?"

"It is said that he was writing "Ghost Words Scribbles". Xu Wu wanted to read a part and said that Lu Xiangsheng thought he was dead and a ghost. However, this ghost is still Da Ming's courtier, so he walked all the way from the capital. When he went to Lantian County, he recorded what he saw, heard, thoughts and thoughts along the way, written in the form of memorials, I hope the emperor can see...

　　 Alas, he is too pedantic. At this time, even if he gave the emperor a book of heaven, it would be of no avail. The danger of the Ming Dynasty came from Zhengde, and the neglect in Jiajing was manifested in Wanli. So far, it is just a lingering life. "

Yun Zhao smiled, stood up and patted Yang Xiong on the shoulder and said, "You are too pessimistic. There are always some people in this world who will live their lives as gods. Looking through my long history of Chinese history, this kind of number is not counted. Lu Xiangsheng insisted Daming still has hope, so there is nothing wrong with his efforts for this.

　　 Remember, there is nothing wrong with anyone’s efforts. It’s okay for someone to try to live a good life throughout their lives. It’s okay for someone to be loyal to the country. It’s these people who make our history look wonderful and wonderful.

Of course, there is a big problem in trying to be a traitor like Fan Wencheng, but this is his own choice. Now that he has made a choice, he will not be able to be judged by the people of the world one day in the future. Shout! "

　　 Yang Xiong nodded, then shook his head, holding the paperwork thoughtfully and went out.

　　 He has been studying at Yushan Academy for eight years, and he has formed his own worldview a long time ago. He still cannot fully accept the new and advanced thinking mode Yun Zhao is telling today.

　　 Yunzhao knew that as long as this guy came up with ideas that could refute these theories, he would come back to debate.

　　 Yun Zhao actually doesn't care about the house, because the current situation is generally beneficial to the people.

　　 The construction cost of five taels of silver was originally a loss, but the surplus land can be returned to the government for a second distribution.

　　The land in Lantian County is expensive. Even Yunzhao has urged people to open up wasteland so that the area of ​​arable land in Lantian County has increased threefold in the past ten years. Unfortunately, the population here has increased more than tenfold.

　　 No matter how many fertile fields people cultivated, in the end, it is always not enough.

　　 And the sign of being a real Lantian county is to obtain a piece of land that can be cultivated...

　　 This requirement is not official. The officially recognized workers, merchants, and craftsmen are all from Lantian County. However, the people still persevere in thinking that the talents of a piece of land are real locals.

　　 It is hard to imagine that a rich man with a wealth of money would personally lead his family to pull a bull and help a plow to cultivate a piece of land the size of only two acres.

　　 It is hard to imagine that this guy with a caravan would collect the soil he thought was the best on the way of doing business, and finally take it home, steam it, and then throw it on his own land.

　　Lantian County people’s land is said to be extremely precious. It is basically impossible to obtain land in the form of purchase. However, as long as it is a newborn whose parents are both registered, he or she will automatically get a piece of land.

　　 Nowadays, only one acre of land is allocated to newborns in Lantian County.

　　 This is something that can’t be helped. The land resources are constant, but the population is increasing rapidly. Fortunately, the people of Lantian County don’t have to rely on land for food. It is more commercial activities that support the livelihood of the people of Lantian County.

　　 Because of this, disaster reduction and relief activities in Lantian County have become profitable.

　　 Lu Xiangsheng squatted in the field, squeezed the soil, then loosened it, checked the soil in his hand, and thought to Xu Wu: "The moisture is very good."

　　 Xu Wu wanted to point to the wheat to be harvested in the field and said: "At this time, you should look at the wheat field to judge the moisture content, not grab a handful of soil."

　　 Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "I am not pedantic, but to cultivate my way of seeing things."

　　 "Look at the root?"

　　 "Yes, look at the fundamentals. For many years, my eyes have been covered by clouds. Now I want to re-recognize the world through my hands and feet."

　　 Xu Wu wanted to smile and said, "What did you see in Dali County?"

　　 Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said, "I see equality."

　　 "Where did you see it?"

　　 Lu Xiangsheng took out a proclamation from his arms and handed it to Xu Wuxiang: "You, Lantian County Office, a letter to the people."

　　 Xu Wuxiang took a look at the statement and said, "This is an announcement to prevent people from destroying their houses in exchange for disaster relief houses."

　　 Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "Just this announcement shows that Lantian County has not deceived or concealed anything, and so on, everything you do to the people is selfless."

　　 Xu Wu wanted to shake his head and said, "It's not about talking about everything. Means are still necessary. Telling the people everything is not a good thing.

　　 You must understand that it is not a person who rules Lantian County, but the "Dharma"! It is not Yunzhao or Confucianism. The government is the rules, the truth, and the people's last support.

　　 Lantian County makes these explanations based on "law", not on a certain kind of reason, nor is it a reflection of the benevolence and righteousness of scholar-officials governing the world.

　　 The reason why the disaster relief house was compared with the original houses of the common people, and finally a fairer figure was given, is based on the laws of Lantian County, which must be said. "

　　 Lu Xiangsheng smiled, sat on the edge of the ditch, washed his hands, and then stood on the edge of the wheat field and said: "A major disaster has no effect on Lantian County?"

　　 Xu Wuxiang said coldly: "In the past ten years, Lantian County has suffered six droughts, one flood, and the earth dragon overturned this time, a total of eight disasters."

　　 Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said, "It's no different from many states and counties in Henan!"

Xu Wu wanted to frown and took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is the place we are most proud of in Lantian County. We use facts to tell the people of the world that people can conquer disasters. As long as all people are one mind, it is a great disaster. It can also be carried over. Since ancient times, our ancestors have survived on this land with this ability.

　　 What our ancestors can do, we can do the same.

　　 This time the earth dragon turned over is just a small thing. We have encountered worse things in the past, and we will encounter even more unlucky things in the future.

　　 It doesn't matter, as long as we are alive, we can turn over again and again. In the end, we will still be the masters of this land.

　　 Mr. Lu, welcome to Lantian County. This is still the land of Daming, and it will be the land of Daming in the future.

　　 There is nothing wrong with Da Ming, the sun and the moon are bright, we are the light!

　　It is the emperor who is at fault, the scholar-officials, the local tyrants and evil gentry, each of us.

　　 And Lantian County is a place where mistakes are being corrected!

　　We are not self-reliant to be the emperor, the nobleman, and the rich. It is the world of Ming Dynasty who is repairing, awakening, and invigorating itself.

　　 The Zhu Ming Dynasty is not the only master on this land. Every one of us is. This land belongs to each of us.

　　 Mr. Lu, Lantian County belongs to all the people of Ming Dynasty, and belongs to every Han family.

　　 Over the past ten years, we have accepted all the people who came to Lantian County, whether they are royal relatives or relatives, scholar-officials, scholars, merchants, farmers, handicraftsmen, even beggars can live well here!

　　Because this is their land, they have the right to live here. "

　　 Lu Xiangsheng waited for Xu Wuxiang to finish reading impassionedly, before reaching out for the letter, frowning and saying, "How can I come out with my beliefs?"

　　 Xu Wu thought: "This is arranged by the county prince. It will be better if I ask me to read this sentence to you at the right time and at the right time."

　　Lu Xiangsheng put the letter into his sleeve and looked at Xu Wu with his back on his back. The field thought to Xu Wu: "Dharma is nothingness. Daming uses Haechi as his external performance. What does Lan Tian use for external performance?"

Xu Wu thought: "Lu Xiangsheng! After suffering, Lu Xiangsheng said that the former Lu Xiangsheng was like uncut jade, like meteorite iron, and like a grain of rice, but now Lu Xiangsheng is like white jade, like a soldier, like a grain with a hanging head, and worthy of it. Great use."

　　 Lu Xiangsheng raised his head to look at the sun and said, "It's low!"

　　 Xu Wuxiang immediately said: "Like the sun, like the ocean tide, like..."

　　 Lu Xiangsheng stopped Xu Wu wanting to continue bragging, and retracted his sleeves with both hands and said, "The status of Dharma is low."

　　 Xu Wu thought: "It's not too low..."

　　 Lu Xiangsheng looked up to the sky and yelled at the blue sky: "It's low!"

　　 Xu Wuxiang also said loudly: "It's not low."

Lu Xiangsheng stared at Xu Wu and thought: "When Yao was the emperor in the past, he kept a Haechi in his palace. Whenever Haechi met an evil official in the palace, he would use his single horn. Knock down the evil officials, and then eat them.

　　 Xu Wu thought, you tell Yun Zhao, I want this kind of power. "

　　 Xu Wu wanted to laugh and said, "Fortunately, you are taking the role of Hachi in my Lantian County. If you are in the Daming Palace, you may be supported alive.

　　 This is a statement of your duties as a judge, see for yourself! "

　　 While speaking, he took out a thick document from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng, turned around and left. Lu Xiangsheng grabbed him and said, "You are leaving now?"

Xu Wu wanted to pat away Lu Xiangsheng's hand and said, "Before this, you were a distinguished guest. I, the local official, naturally want to accompany you to show respect. Now, the summer harvest is imminent. We are colleagues. I am busy with official duties. Time is waiting for you.

　　 Your servant, your subordinates are waiting for you in Guanyi, and you are also busy building your official office. I think you don’t have time to stay in my Dali County and you won’t go. "

　　 After speaking, he really left.

　　 Lu Xiangsheng said loudly to Xu Wu: "My Hachi can really eat people!"

　　 Xu Wu wanted to wave his hand from a distance: "You can't even eat my hair in this life!"

　　The rectification movement will always produce results...

　　 This is why Yun Zhao appointed Lu Xiang to be promoted to justice.

For the time being, Lu Xiangsheng is the person Yun Zhao can find the most suitable for this position. Regardless of his nature, family history, experience, and the fearless determination he has shown, this person is the top choice, plus He himself was wronged and imprisoned, although he survived very dishonestly, which gave him a better understanding of Daming's judicial system.

　　 Lantian County can no longer grow barbarously, it needs orderly and purposeful development.

　　 After all, time is on Yun Zhao's side. No matter how the various external forces develop, it is impossible to pass Lantian County.

　　 Give Yun Zhao another five years, and a Lantian county with a complete system will stand in Guanzhong.

　　 Lu Xiangsheng read the text book in the Guan Station for five days. When he opened the door on the sixth day and went out, he said to his group of young officials: "Go back to Lantian County."

He has a lot of subordinates, sixty subordinates, twelve scriveners, one hundred and sixty full-armed soldiers, equipped with three hundred horses, ten carriages, and thirty thousand new clusters of silver dollars, and six Yunzhao A blank appointment document with no name written after the signature is used.

　　 This is the first large-scale decentralization of power in Lantian County, and it is also the first time that Yun Zhao has so easily handed over an extremely important department to an outsider who is not a Lantian robber, nor is he from Yushan Academy.

　　 "You made good arrangements for Lao Lu!"

　　 Once again, Hong Chengchou, who was relieved of his military power, fell on a chair opposite Yun Zhao. The words on his lips were calm and bland, but his eyes did not leave Yun Zhao's face.

　　 "It was not arranged by me, but he himself put himself in this position. In addition to him in the position of the judge, if you can find a more suitable person than him, I will lose."

　　 Yunzhao kept under his hands, quickly reviewed the documents and handed them to Yang Xiong who was guarding the side.

　　 After handling the official business, Yun Zhao filled Hong Chengchou's tea cup with tea, and sat beside him and said, "Why, I can't hold it anymore?"

　　 Hong Chengchou pointed to the position of his heart and said, "I can't stand it here."

　　 Yunzhao said: "I heard that you are going to be the commander of the nine sides."

　　 Hong Chengchou said: "I can't serve, I don't want to go to Liaodong..."

　　 Yunzhao smiled and said: "If you can leave it, then come to me, but you can only serve as the magistrate of a certain county."

　　 Hong Chengchou smiled, holding up his teacup and saying: "A word is a deal."

　　 Yun Zhao took the map and pointed to Qingshui County Road: "Go here?"

　　 Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Keep it for me."

　　 Yunzhao frowned and said, "Aren't you coming over now?"

　　 Hong Chengchou smiled, and pointed to the Jingshi's side and said, "I want to take the same road as Jiandou brother. After I die, I will come to Lantian County, which is considered to be alive again."

　　 "Is there a beginning and an end?"

　　 Hong Chengchou sighed: "There must be a beginning and an end. If you can't even do this, you will look down on me. At that time, you may not be willing to give me a county.

　　 I’m not afraid of going on the battlefield, and I’m not new to fighting Jiannu. It’s just Liaodong—actually, it’s no longer the world of Daming.

　　 I told your Majesty that I hoped that the troops would stick to Shanhaiguan. I was willing to demote to Shanhaiguan's general army and be the last barrier to defend the imperial city. My Majesty reprimanded me.

　　This is what I really want to do. I plan to build a steel line of defense in three years, and then rely on this solid line of defense to gradually advance north..."

　　 Yunzhao was taken aback and said, "Are you going to give up north of Shanhaiguan?"

　　 Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "There is chaos, and there are different types of soldiers, and soldiers don’t know the generals. The generals have ghosts in their hearts. There are a thousand strategies in the belly of the civilians that sound obvious but useless.

The Manchu Dynasty is sparsely populated, and even now the whole clan is less than half a million people. Give him some land, they need more soldiers and horses to guard, as long as their soldiers and horses are scattered and stationed, they will have every opportunity to defeat them. .

　　If they didn't divide their troops, then this land would still be unowned, and it wouldn't make much sense to give or not.

　　For me, Da Ming, the consumption will increase by 30% every time the line of defense advances 100 miles northward, and the consumption will increase by half if it advances for another 100 miles after 300 miles.

　　 Defeating the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a matter of overnight. My Daming country is vast, but weaker than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Liao Dynasty pays 70% of the military expenditures of the Ming Dynasty. There is no progress every year... alas! "

　　 Yunzhao listened to Hong Chengchou's words and shook his head: "You made this idea and the emperor didn't chop off your head. It is already considered a sage."

　　 Hong Chengchou laughed and said: "I can't bear the silver that I have thrown into Liaodong for decades! Everyone will carry it. Until the day I can't hold it, if you accept my strategy, you will find that everything is too late.

　　 Just, doing this will make you cheaper, and your front will retreat even more! "

　　 Hong Chengchou was talking, and he drew a line with a brush on the map Yun Zhao hung on the wall. This line was very close to the line Yun Zhao drew a year ago.

　　 This line starts from Lantian City and continues to the Yangtze River.

　　 After Hong Chengchou drew this line, he staggered away, as if he was drinking wine or not tea. Yun Zhao understood his thoughts very well. When a person wants to get drunk, he will get drunk with everything he drinks.

　　 He avoided Lu Xiangsheng and left Yushan City on the first day Lu Xiangsheng entered Yushan City. Instead of returning to Xi'an, he left Tongguan and went to Henan.

　　 He came to Lantian County for only one purpose-to find a destination for his unsuspecting heart, and to prove to this destination that he is still worthwhile.

　　 Hong Chengchou is a person who does not believe in love and justice. Perhaps after officials have been working for a long time, they have little confidence in love and justice.

　　 In his eyes, if one person wants to be valued by another, the only consideration is the value of use.

　　 He measured a very long time, and only Yun Zhao stayed the most comfortable here, and the stroke on the map was his letter of surrender.

　　 Yunzhao and Lu Xiangsheng sat on the stargazing platform that had just been repaired at Yushan Academy for a whole night, and neither of them was in the mood to speak.

　　 There are two small square tables in front of them. The same dishes are placed on the tables, one meat, one vegetarian, one soup, one bowl of rice, and one jar of wine.

　　No words were said, but the food was eaten cleanly. Two jars of wine accompanied the two from the starry sky until the sun appeared~www.wuxiahere.com~Red clouds everywhere.

　　After drinking the wine, people are not drunk. Some wines have become more sober as they drink.

　　 "Lu Xiangsheng is dead. From now on, I will be a Dharma beast whose name is Hachi."

　　 "From now on, there will be only one name for the justices belonging to Lantian County, and the name is-Hachi!"

　　 "Can Hazhen stand against Yao and Shun?"

　　 "Not at this stage. After all, Hachi is a beast raised by Yao in the legend."

　　 "When can I stand up?"

　　 "When people think that the emperor can't be lawless."

　　 "It might have been a little late then, and the infinite sin has already been committed."

　　 "The overthrow of the emperor always requires an extremely heavy price, and Lantian County is no exception."

　　 "You are not a selfless person."

"So, don’t think of me as a saint. My name is Yun Zhao. I am a wild boar by nature. I want to use my nose to open a bright door for everyone, and use my fangs to pierce the gatekeeper. , Let the people of the Daming world have a chance to see what another world is like."

　　 "Are you sure that the world is better than our current world?"

　　 "I don't make a guarantee, I just let everyone know, if it doesn't work, it's no big deal to return."

　　Lu Xiang ascended to Yushan. On the third day, he beheaded Gao Pei, the magistrate of Suide County, in the name of Hachi!
