Chapter 40: Ruling Power, Supreme

　　 After Xu Wu wanted to hand over 160,000 catties of corn, 200,000 catties of sweet potatoes, 200,000 catties of potatoes, and 80,000 catties of millet, he was about to return to Dali County immediately.

　　 In Yan'an Mansion, he couldn't stay for a moment.

At this time, the Yan'an Mansion was full of people. The soldiers drove the refugees like cows and horses. They roughly filled everyone's pockets with corn, millet, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum and other foods. As long as one bag was enough, they would yell. Let them follow the brigade immediately.

　　 There is no good voice in the middle, but it seems fair when distributing food to the people, and there is no difference.

The migration of the people on the dry plateau to Ningxia Town is the main work content of Lantian County this winter. But in fact, the people who migrated to Ningxia Town are not only the people of northern Shaanxi, but at the same time, Guyuan Town, the Daming Military Department of Haiyuan Town The wives also disliked the people under their control, so the people from these two places also began to gather in Ningxia Town.

At the beginning, only less than 400,000 people in northern Shaanxi had to migrate. Now, it has become a large migration of 700,000 people. So many people have to complete the migration task in just two years, as Xu Wu who is responsible for the operation of the grain. I want to put all the eight generations of Duan Guoren's ancestors on the bed in my heart.

　　 Duan Guoren’s plan is one link after another. As long as one link goes wrong, this great migration will become a disaster.

　　 Therefore, this guy relied on his great power, and the world's top generals almost emptied the most capable staff in Lantian County.

　　 However, only these people can complete this big plan.

　　 Even so, according to the progress chart drawn up by Xu Wuxiang, his work is less than 30% complete, but the people of Yan'an Prefecture gathered in Yan'an Prefecture and Dingbian County extremely quickly.

Because they can’t collect taxes from these people, the government has forgotten them a lot for many years. However, as long as the government starts to issue a call-up order, they still believe in the government as before and abandon their homeland without hesitation. I am happily preparing to live with the people sent by the government to live in the land of luxuriant water and grass.

　　 There is no other way. When the Yan'an Mansion has been dry for 16 years, even the rats here are becoming scarce, let alone the people here.

　　 Migrating to a good place is obviously better than rebelling. This is the simplest perception of the people in Yan'an Prefecture.

　　 Because these refugees have a strong need for food, this has led to a good price for the large harvest of miscellaneous grains in Lantian County this year, and they do not worry about selling them at all.

　　Because their only buyer is the Lantian county government.

　　Lantian County is naturally not short of money, but the speed of casting copper coins and silver dollars cannot keep up with the speed of Yun Zhao's spending. Therefore, Lantian County's official IOU appeared in Lantian County for the first time.

　　 The interest of one and a half cents will be paid in three years.

Then, the merciful and compassionate Yunniang was the first to buy it. Yun's entire purchase of 100,000 silver dollars of government bonds. With Yunniang's purchase, the wealthy households in Lantian County, such as Qin Wangfu, also paid for the purchase. Bonds with a maturity of one million silver dollars were sold out, and these wealthy households even bought bonds in the hands of grain sellers who had the same interest.

　　 Although the reputation of the Lantian county government is almost made of gold, the people who hold bonds still sell the bonds to the wealthy people who hold real money.

　　 This makes Yun Zhao very disappointed. It seems that there is a reason why ordinary people can only be rich and happy.

When a bond with a very high reputation appears, it means that another currency has been produced. This currency is no longer a synonym for physical gold and silver, but a new type of currency endorsed by the reputation of Lantian county officials, and In addition to the advantages of easy carrying and convenient transaction of this currency, that currency itself is value-preserving and increasing, and will increase in value by about half a year.

His actual benefit lies not only in the half-percent interest, but the biggest hidden benefit is that as Lantian County becomes more prosperous and rich in products, and Lantian County uses silver dollars and copper coins to occupy a larger market, the government is different day and night. Minting new money.

In the past, 800 copper coins in Lantian County could be exchanged for one or two silver dollars. Now, 800 copper coins can only be exchanged for one silver dollar. In Lantian County, merchants in other places can only exchange their silver with Lantian county officials for silver dollars. , The exchange rate is naturally one tael of silver to one silver dollar.

The reason for this is that the Lantian county government will not explain it to the people, but the wealthy people know it well. In this seemingly fair transaction, the Lantian county government is about to make fart stocks. It's oily.

Bonds are very different... Many merchants and wealthy households are not in a hurry to find the government to redeem them after they get this thing. After confirming that there is no expiration date for this thing, bonds began to appear in the market in Lantian County. The strange scenes of using money, especially bonds with large denominations, are the most popular.

　　"To gather the people together to live, this will greatly reduce the cost of government governance of the place, and accelerate the commercial activities in the populated area. As long as a place is rich in products, that place will easily prosper and eventually become a Tongdu Dayi.

　　 This is why we must move the people out of the poor mountains and remote areas.

The saying that the poor mountains and the bad waters lead to the people sounds very rude, but it is actually very reasonable. Any place with poor mountains and bad waters must be weak areas of government governance. In addition, there is insufficient communication between people and poverty. In order to compete for limited resources, various Evil things that violate the principles of human relations will happen, and the possibility of getting out of poverty will be infinitely reduced.

The wealthy households in this kind of place will naturally become the leaders of nature on this land. In order to maintain his rule, it is easy to show signs of dominating one party, which will not do any good to the poor people. Their only way to survive is Relying on the wealthy can survive, and eventually become a slave to others.

　　 There will be no obvious squeeze in populated areas. Squeezing the people has always been the prerogative of the government. Any wealthy household who wants to take advantage of this privilege will be the target of the government.

　　 Therefore, you can see from the legal precedents of Lantian County that the laws of Lantian County are generally very lax to ordinary people.

　　 Since Chongzhen four years ago, only 144 people have been sentenced to be executed in Lantian County. These people have been beheaded, and all of them have had to be beheaded.

However, in the same eight years since the fourth year of Chongzhen, the number of landlords killed in Lantian County totaled 1,783 people, of which eleven were exterminated, although some of these wealthy households had to be killed. s reason.

　　 But if you compare them, you will find that for the same guilt, the scales of punishment for the two are completely different. What ordinary people can get past by hitting a board, put it on the wealthy, must go to jail.

　　 Through this, you will find that Lantian County’s policies are still based on maintaining the control of Yunzhao, and they are pursuing a more rigorous governance system with purpose and direction.

In terms of commerce, wealthy households are very important, but in terms of maintaining control, ordinary people are even more important. Obviously, Lantian County chose to strengthen control instead of comprehensively developing commerce. As long as students with a few dollars in their families pay attention, Tell you what you learned in class today, parents who forget everything if they have money. Money is very important to Lantian County, but it is definitely not the most important.

This is true now, and it will be true in the future. From the knowledge I gave you, you will be surprised to find that this is the foundation of Lantian County's future nationhood. Lantian County from Yunzhao to Weimo Xiaoli are all firmly upholding this strategy. By.

　　Okay, take notes. This is the key point. It is likely to appear on your exam papers. get out of class ends! "

　　 After Huang Zongxi finished the lecture, he put the handout under his arm and walked out of the class.

　　 Gu Yanwu was sitting under a cypress tree, drinking tea leisurely, and seeing Huang Zongxi coming out, he waved and motioned to drink tea and chat together.

　　 Huang Zongxi, with a dry mouth and tongue, drank two cups of tea in a row before he quenched his thirst.

　　 Gu Yanwu smiled and said, "It's utterly plausible, but if you say this way the rules that others have worked so hard to establish, do you think Yun Zhao will hate you?"

　　 Huang Zongxi chuckled: "It's a shameful idea. I'm not afraid that others will know it. What if those wealthy households know it? Could it be that they leave Lantian County and go to other places?

　　 Other places are better than Lantian County? Is it easier to make money?

　　 These people are also unprofitable people who can’t afford to pay for it. If there is no benefit, who wants to invest all their wealth in Lantian County?

　　 Zhongqing, do you want to leave Lantian County and return to Yangzhou? "

　　 Gu Yanwu shook his head and said, "Next year is the year of the Grand Competition, I want to try again."

　　 Huang Zongxi frowned and said: "When did you have the idea of ​​becoming an official again?"

　　 Gu Yanwu sighed and said: "The **** all over the world are bullying the emperor. I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to help him."

　　 Huang Zongxi looked at Gu Yanwu in amazement and didn't know how to comment on his words~www.wuxiahere.com~When the emperor became weak.

　　 Gu Yanwu said: "Li Hongji captured Xiangyang, Zhang Bingzhong entered Shuzhong, and seemed to have the intention to become emperor, and Yun Zhao seemed to be happy to see it. There was no attempt by Cao Cao to destroy the world's heroes on behalf of the emperor."

　　 Huang Zongxi smiled and said, "Are you really willing to see Yun Zhao do something about'taking the emperor to make the princes"?"

　　 Gu Yanwu said bitterly: "It is because of this that I want to be an official."

　　 "Today, the strongest is still the emperor, and the emperor still has nearly two million soldiers and horses in his hands. Why do you think that the emperor is the weakest one, do you really think you can be admitted to the Jinshi?"

　　 Gu Yanwu patted his chest and said: "Yun Zhaofu's "Thunder" poem said-I persuade Tiangong to rejuvenate and cast down talents in an eclectic style. I heard that the emperor praised this poem so much that he planned to reopen the examination."

　　 Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "If this is the case, you must not go back to Yangzhou. Go directly to the capital to find an apartment. Wouldn't it be better to prepare for the exam with peace of mind?"

　　 Gu Yanwu sneered: "Do you think I can't pass the exam?"

　　 Huang Zongxi sighed and said: "If your talent is a jinshi in the school district, I am afraid that you will be beheaded by the emperor before you have time to serve Daming after you go to the capital."

"This is impossible!"

　　 Huang Zongxi looked at Gu Yanwu and said: "Since your reputation for locust control in Shanxi spread to the north and south, you and I have become the rebels in the eyes of the emperor, and the scum of Jiangnan scholars."
