Chapter 659 Xiguo is full of vitality!
Chapter 659 Xiguo is full of vitality!
Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven and his entourage spent the night in the small cottage of Mojun, during which they chatted with the old people and villagers in the village, and the next day, the four of them left in a hurry.
Out of the cottage, the group was quite emotional.
Si Tuxi Xinghou looked at the village with smoke curling in the early morning, and his heart was very melancholy: "The people's wish is so simple, they just want to eat a full meal and have clothes to wear, but unfortunately even this simplest wish is a luxury for ordinary people." ”
Lao Situ also nodded: "Marquis Xiyun treats and supports the people of Mojun so leniently, and the people of Mojun are just barely able to eat, and the people of other vassal states are probably even worse." ”
Hearing the old man in the village say that many vassal states have expropriated and expropriated violently, and half of the harvest in the field has to be handed over, it is really shocking to hear.
The four of them remembered that in the cottage, the old man showed off to them and congratulated himself on being from Xiguo, and for a while, their hearts were quite touched.
Although the Son of Heaven asked the princes of the Quartet for tribute, in the end, the wool still came out of the people, and it was the people of the world who suffered.
In the long run, at a higher level, it is a good thing for the entire Celestial Empire to levy the [initial mu tax] to the world, and to classify all private land as well fields.
The truth is this, but for ordinary people, too radical policies are undoubtedly the mountain that crushes them, and they are too fragile to toss in their already suffering.
The Son of Heaven and the princes of the current dynasty conscientiously manage the summer, what they ask for is not to protect the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, if the underground people live in dire straits, complaining, and the people are not living, what is the point of what they do?
"It's not easy for the people, it's even more difficult for the Celestial Empire, and under the beauty, someone must move forward with a burden. Emperor Ziqi also felt something, he also governed one side and understood the suffering of the world, so he was quite touched.
It is good to recuperate, but if the barbarians do not train their armaments and enter the customs, the people will become slaves of others, and the days will be even more miserable.
"What the emperor said is right!" Lao Situ nodded approvingly, and said: "This is a worthwhile trip to Xiguo, Xiguo also collects rent and tax by mu, but the people here are living a prosperous life, this is the way, all the princes in the world should follow the example of Xiyun Hou." ”
Emperor Tianzi nodded noncommittally, his eyes flashed with a certain essence, in fact, although the taxes of Xiguo were lower than those of other vassal states, they were not much lower, but the people of Xiguo, or the people of Mojun who had just joined Xiguo, were full of hope for life and hope for a better life.
This vitality of the people is very different from that of other vassal states.
"Let the princes of the world follow the path of Xiguo, what is the way?"
The Emperor of Heaven was asking Lao Situ, Xixinghou, and the emperor, and seemed to be asking himself.
The other three were silent, revealing that they were thinking.
Xiguo is unique in all aspects, full of vitality, and has a lot of remarkables, but if people summarize Xiguo's path in one sentence, it will inevitably be foggy and unclear, even if you do it, you can't grasp the point.
With doubts in their hearts, Emperor Twilight of the Son of Heaven and his entourage traveled to Xiguo, saw the criss-crossing highway network, saw the business travelers coming and going on the official roads, and saw the reservoirs and ditches built in various places..... A prosperous and vibrant Xiguo is presented in front of everyone little by little.
Thriving and booming, Xiguo seems to have endless vitality, developing and growing all the time, this trend, let alone these four big men from the Celestial Empire, even the peddlers and pawns can see it, and they are full of expectations for the future of Xiguo.
"Holy Lord, since we are almost in Xidu, it is better to go and meet Xiyun Hou. After traveling around Xiguo these days, Lao Situ was full of curiosity about Yao Yun, and he was very curious about what kind of person should be able to turn the small country of Puer into a powerful, prosperous and vibrant country in just five or six years.
"Well, I also have a few doubts in my heart that I want to ask Xiyun Hou for advice!"
The Son of Heaven Emperor Twilight was quite frank, and he was not ashamed to ask his courtiers for advice, but when Emperor Ziqi heard this, he was quite depressed in his heart, and he had an intuition that his father would definitely reprimand him again at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as the emperor's thoughts rose, the voice of the emperor of heaven sounded in his ears.
"Eh, if the emperor has the ability of Xiyun Hou, I will be at ease. ”
Here it is again! Emperor Ziqi wails in his heart, every time he talks about Yao Yun, his father always talks about him, Yao Yun, Lao Tzu hates you!
"Shengshang, the emperor is still young, and there is still room for growth, besides, the emperor is quite smart, and he is also a first-class young man in the Celestial Empire......" Old Situ and Situ Xixinghou hurriedly stood up to defend the emperor.
It's okay that the second elder didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Emperor Ziqi became even more depressed in his heart, and he used to call him and Yao Yun together, but now it's okay, he even said that he was still young, obviously Yao Yun was even younger than him.
Yao Yun, Lao Tzu hates you!
While the group was talking, they drove the auspicious clouds towards Xidu.
Xidu, as in the past, is bustling and lively, and businessmen from all over the world gather in Xiguo, adding a bit of excitement to Xiguo.
No one in this bustling Southern Wilderness Capital would have expected that on a sunny afternoon, the Supreme of the Celestial Empire would descend on this city.
Yao Yun didn't know that the Son of Heaven would suddenly come to Xiguo, and that afternoon, after practicing, he went to Tianwen Academy to reward Tianwen teachers and students who cultivated high-yield rice seeds.
With the efforts of this group of Tianwen teachers and students, the highest yield of rice per mu in Chishui River has reached five stones, which is far inferior to the high-yield rice in the previous life, but in this era, it is an unprecedented bumper harvest, which is enough to be recorded in the history of Xiguo!
Yao Yun also attaches great importance to this, not only gave a heavy reward, but also came to Tianwen Academy today to express his condolences and encourage this group of Tianwen teachers and students.
Cultivating high-yield rice seeds is naturally not one person, but a group of people, among which two people play a key role, Jiang Miao and Jiang He.
The ancestors of the two are members of the Shennong clan, good at the art of hundred herbs, two years ago came to the Xi country, after coming into contact with the way of runes, the two were ecstatic, exclaimed that a new world of understanding the creatures of plants and trees was opened.
After years of diligent study and hard study of the way of Baicao, I finally achieved the first result this year!
"Your two brothers are good, and they have made great contributions to the world!" Yao Yun patted Jiang He and Jiang Miao on the shoulders after encouraging and praising the teachers and students, and they were very intimate.
Jiang He and Jiang Miao are in their thirties, and their cultivation is not more than a second grade, not up or down, in the face of Yao Yun's undisguised praise, the two of them were sincerely afraid, and said honestly: "The king has praised it, if there is no rune avenue founded by the king, without the help of all colleagues, teachers and students, how can my brothers have today." ”
"Eh, don't be modest, the world is focused on agriculture, agriculture is prosperous, all industries are prosperous, and you have made great contributions......"
Yao Yun's praise made everyone extremely excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were full of fighting spirit.
Just when Yao Yun spared no effort to motivate everyone, the bald dragon hurriedly came, quite anxious.
"Shizi ~ Benlong is on a whim, I'm afraid something big will happen soon!"
Yao Yunzheng was impassioned, inspiring Tianwen teachers and students to make persistent efforts and reach new heights, when he suddenly heard the bald dragon's urgent report, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
What's the big deal? It makes the bald dragon so nervous!
