Chapter 130: Light
Zhang Qingyun has been in Qiongzhou for several days, and he is still immersed in what he sees in front of him, as if he will never get tired of watching those construction scenes in full swing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qiongzhou City since the pirates attacked, there is no night curfew, even no access curfew, you can hardly imagine a thirteenth century city, in the night is the city gate is open, pedestrians can go to and fro freely, do not have to worry about being interrogated, if put in the future, then there will be a few big words written on it "open Qiongzhou welcomes you".
And what attracted him was not only the straight road under his feet, nor the flow of people everywhere, not even those square, unaesthetic but solid buildings, but these strangely shaped pillars on the side of the road, bright white straight shapes, at the top of which were two huge green leaves, holding out one of the red flowers, flashing bright light in the night sky, like a lamp!
"What a banana leaf and flowers." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is simply a miracle.
For on both sides of this gray-white road, every ten steps or so, stands one of these pillars, without wax or oil, and when the sky is about to darken, they will automatically emit such a bright light, illuminating the road as if it were day, and the magic of such a scene is self-evident when compared with the swarthy strait on the opposite side.
"So-and-so knew you were going to be here."
Zhang Qingyun turned around and saw Chen Yunping hurrying over with the corner of his robe, and he smiled and arched his hand.
"Mr. Xilu, such a grand occasion can only be compared with the book that the Queen Mother of the West is in the Tianshan Mountain, and the Milky Way is hanging down the sky, isn't it worth waiting for me to float?"
Chen Yunping looked at his fascinated appearance, and smiled: "This is the beginning and end of your host's family, you still sigh like this, do you want to know what Liu Ziqing said?" ”
"What does the owner say?" Zhang Qingyun was really interested.
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." Chen Yunping unhurriedly chanted these two lines of poetry, which made the latter slightly stunned, and then looked in the direction of the road, and sure enough, as said in these two poems, putting two unrelated sentences together, it was exactly what he saw in front of him.
"Your host has said that this is just the beginning."
Chen Yunping patted him on the shoulder, although these pillars were inserted one by one under his command, but every time he saw this grand occasion in Zhang Qingyun's mouth, he would also be excited, not far from them, several scholar-like people sat around the pillars, looking at the books in their hands, while talking about Xing Zhengnong, isn't this the kind of good deed he expected, you must know that a large part of the cost of reading is lamp oil.
"Sir, there must be something important here."
"There is an urgent report from the other side, Fu Si has issued a township clearance order, we are the place to be taken in, you and I will immediately come up with a method to see what should be done." What Chen Yunping was holding in his hand was the official document of Fusi that he received early in the morning, why was it in the form of an official document instead of a microphone, Zhang Qingyun looked at the words on it, and his heart was a little unpredictable.
As soon as he arrived, he took over the original work of Yang Xingqian, responsible for supervising the construction of the city and surrounding facilities in the Lingao area, as well as managing the warehouse accounts in Qiongzhou, after all, he is Liu Yu's cronies, Chen Yunping is well aware of this, and he happily handed over the things out, and concentrated on managing the distribution center of the displaced people in Qiongzhou.
"You are the governor of a state, what kind of regulations do you have, just give orders." After reading it, Zhang Qingyun returned the official document to him.
"Don't be sloppy with a certain person, with the official document coming, and your appointment, Senator Zhang, now on this island, except for the Zeng Shilang who doesn't care about everything, but you are respected, and what you said just now can be returned as it is." Chen Yunping knew his thoughts, and this appointment had been notified through the microphone early in the morning, but the official document was later.
Sure enough, Zhang Qingyun only shook his head when he heard this, and he was not excited because he suddenly took power, he had been with Liu Yu for so long, and he knew that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and now this matter may be a test for him.
"Whether this matter is difficult to say or not, and it is not easy to say that it depends on how many people the owner wants to place here."
Unlike Chen Yunping, who is a latecomer, Zhang Qingyun knew Liu Yu's plans when he left Beijing, and the difficulty was naturally needless to say, for which they made preparations for many months, and the mountains of materials in the warehouse were all for this matter.
Hearing his answer, Chen Yunping was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
"Well said, what if this official wants to settle all the people in Guangxi?"
The two turned around together, and Liu Yu, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walked along the road.
"Qingyun, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Qingyun hadn't seen him for almost half a year, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, he stayed there with his mouth open, Liu Yu stepped forward and patted his hand, and turned his head to say hello to Chen Yunping.
"Is what Fu Shuai said true?" Obviously, Chen Yunping had the same shock, but the meaning was not ordinary.
"I'm afraid it's even more, on this land, the official plans to make a budget for five million people to come and live, and the burden on the shoulders of the two of you is not light."
"Five million!"
At this time, even Zhang Qingyun couldn't calm down, after the Southern Crossing of the Great Song Dynasty, at its peak, there were only more than 60 million Dingkou in the country, which accounted for almost one-tenth of it all at once, and they couldn't imagine what kind of tide it was.
"Yes, it is five million people, not only to resettle, but also to live and work in peace and contentment, to build this place like a paradise, how to do something is already underway, there will be detailed steps in the near future, this time, is to give you a prophetic meeting, so as not to be in a hurry at that time."
"What is Fu Shuai going to do with the officials?"
"Gather all the literate people in the state, every person who comes here, no matter where he came from before, must be re-naturalized, when the register is made, in addition to the name, birth, place of origin, etc., there are some special things that need to be recorded, of course, it looks a little weird, but I believe it will not be difficult for you, and then you can do it according to the rules."
What kind of thing it is, Liu Yu didn't say it clearly, but Chen Yunping and Zhang Qingyun knew that it must be something unheard of, and it was not surprising that they had seen a lot, they all nodded, this practice is not surprising, the government will check Ding Kou every year, just like the census in later generations, because it is related to taxes.
"Second, some preparations can be done, there is a thing called 'coal', have you ever heard of it?" Chen Yunping and Zhang Qingyun looked at each other and shook their heads, and the latter suddenly remembered something and tried to ask.
"But the coal?" Seeing that Liu Yu was a little dazed, he explained: "Its quality is black, hard as a stone, like fine powder, it burns when it encounters fire, and thick smoke rises everywhere? ”
