Chapter 186: Heard
No matter where they are, these things are not sold. Especially now is the period of war in many countries, even if Ziyao has Gu Qingzhou's method of increasing grain production, it has been popularized and achieved good results, but the more food, the better.
Early the next morning, Chen Yu came out of the space, and Chen Yu's subordinates also packed up their things and prepared to leave, this is just a very small town, it is not worth staying too long, but half a day's effort, Chen Yu's subordinates just gathered a few locals here and gave them some funds to develop on their own.
After walking on the road for a few more days, Chen Yu and his party came to the place of Liucheng, which is also a coincidence, this is the place where Gu Qingzhou is the prefect, and the prefect's yamen is in this Liucheng, Chen Yu didn't know that he could meet the traverser he was interested in this time.
Walking in Liucheng, Chen Yu felt a great difference, Chen Yu has been to a lot of cities these days, even Kyoto has been staying for a long time, but in this Liucheng does feel a little different, the people here are full of vitality, full of expectations for the future, not only those who have a good family background, even the people at the bottom are like that, which makes Chen Yu a little curious.
Chen Yu has encountered many injustices along the way, but he has rarely encountered a place like here where the law and order are so good and the people's spirits are so good.
It seems that the magistrates here are still very good, and if they can meet some honest and good officials, Chen Yu is also happy to make friends, after all, people like that must be talented and virtuous, and it is beneficial to befriend these people, of course, Chen Yu will not make friends with these people as a woman. It is difficult for a woman to dress as a man Chen Yu.
"Master, I have already sent someone to inquire, I heard that the prefect here is the famous Lord Gu, who not only cares about the suffering of the people, but can also think about the people's livelihood, and Lord Gu's policies over the years have also been of great help to the lives of the people." Lao Zhou of the team said.
"Oh, is there anything special about this Lord Gu? Even you've heard of it? Chen Yu heard Lao Zhou's words. I'm a little curious.
"Speaking of this, Lord Gu. Everyone admires it very much, master, you don't know that when the flood occurred. It was Master Gu who offered advice and quickly stabilized the disaster area, and the lives of the people along the coast today are very different from before. The people there were grateful for the good of Master Gu. After Mr. Gu became an official, he paid more attention to people's livelihood. At the beginning, Lord Gu had improved his farming methods, and now the grain yield per mu of our Ziyao Country can be increased by at least eighty percent, and everyone is grateful to Lord Gu. Since Lord Gu came to Liucheng as the prefect, he has been even more political. For the benefit of the people, the prestige in this territory is very high, if it weren't for the lack of qualifications of Lord Gu. I'm afraid I will be able to improve soon, I heard that Lord Gu took the palace exam last year. Although he didn't get the top prize, he was also a flower explorer. Lao Zhou kept talking about Gu Qingzhou's good words, and he really thought that Gu Qingzhou was a good person.
"Is this guy really that good?" Chen Yu said. At the same time, Chen Yu also had a trace of thought in his heart, I am afraid that the suspected traverser at the beginning is this Master Gu, it can also be seen from the actions of this Lord Gu, but the other party is a little more powerful than Chen Yu, if Chen Yu has no ability, I am afraid that he will not be able to do what Gu Qingzhou did, and this person is really capable.
After all, not every traverser can mix so well, not to mention that the other party doesn't seem to have any special abilities, only relying on the knowledge of the previous life.
"Master, this Lord Gu is really good, we can try to get in touch, this Lord Gu encourages business development and will not exploit everyone, he is a rare good official." Lao Zhou said.
"I know, let's find a place to rest first, it's best to buy a house, let's stay here for a while, and we'll meet this lord for a while." Chen Yu said.
This Liucheng was governed by Gu Qingzhou very richly, so Chen Yu had the intention to leave more people here to develop, and Chen Yu was also very curious about this traverser, especially this traverser had a good character and was clean and self-conscious, which made Chen Yu appreciate it, you must know that Chen Yu has read a lot of traversal novels, which of those traversers is not a hegemony, and which one is not surrounded by beautiful women.
Now that he met a fellow of a different breed and from the same place as himself, Chen Yu naturally wanted to meet him.
In fact, Gu Qingzhou's merits at this time were already enough to be promoted, but Gu Qingzhou actually hoped that no one would be able to control him in the locality, rather than going to Kyoto, and his every move would be under everyone's watchful eyes. And at the local level, seeking benefits for the people, Gu Qingzhou also feels that this is a very meaningful thing after doing it all these years.
Not only because of the people's sincere gratitude to themselves, but also not only because of the court's commendation and the emperor's trust, this is a kind of peace of mind, seeing the people's happiness and health, Gu Qingzhou's heart is also more relaxed. Of course, Gu Qingzhou is not a holy father, nor is he a hard-hearted person, when he encounters those poor ordinary people who are struggling on the death line at any time, he is really sympathetic and wants to change.
Now it seems that Gu Qingzhou has done very successfully, at least the living standards of the people within the scope of Gu Qingzhou's governance have been significantly improved.
With Gu Qingzhou's endless ideas, as long as he is not too lazy, he can live well. In fact, it is also because Gu Qingzhou has increased grain production, otherwise the problem of eating alone is a big problem.
Of course, it is also beneficial to the current war, otherwise, the grain output of Ziyao Country will increase significantly, I am afraid that the price of grain will drop significantly, and it will be the common people who will suffer at that time, but because of the war, the front line needs a lot of grain and grass, so the imperial court buys grain at a low price, and naturally the increased grain is an increase in silver taels.
In fact, if there is more food, it can also promote the development of the country, at least the country's population will be greatly improved, after all, many children born in the past died because they could not afford to raise them, but now that there is enough food, they can naturally feed more children.
If this continues, Ziyaoguo's national strength will be greatly improved in less than ten years, after all, the population in this era is a great measure of national strength, and the people are well fed, their bodies will be more robust, and the people's vegetarian will be higher, and Ziyaoguo will naturally be stronger.
Of course, the surplus of food will also breed a lot of additional industries, and vigorously promote the progress of science and technology, for example, the brewing industry, which was restricted because of the lack of food, will definitely develop vigorously with excess grain. For example, when the people are full, there will be a demand for entertainment culture, and the culture of the whole country will also develop. (To be continued.) )
