Chapter 031: What I Saw and Heard

After Yang Guang's decree was drafted, no one was willing to go north to issue the decree!

Just because today's Jiangdu has become a trapped dragon, the north is once again fighting the big Wagang army forces, the west of the Jianghuai area is the territory of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, the south is occupied by Shen Faxing and Li Zitong, they each led more than 100,000 troops, and Qingzhou in the north was occupied by Xu Yuanlang and Wang Bo forces!

This edict going north may have to throw your life on the road, which is not cost-effective.

Just when Pei Ju, the servant of the door, was about to be forcibly appointed, Fang Xuanling, the provincial governor of the door, took the initiative to ask Ying, and under the escort of the sailor, he went north along the coast with a reward.

When he arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, Fang Xuanling let the fleet continue to go north, but he landed in Bohai County and went north in disguise with a few guards.

He had heard that Yang Tong was very smart, but he was timid and cowardly, and he had low self-esteem, a child who was raised alive and wasted under the shadow of Yang Guang.

But after the wedding, he changed his appearance, first defeated the more than 300,000 troops of Wagang in Henan Province with fewer victories, and then moved the victims to Hebei Province with various preferential policies! In particular, the establishment of Yixue made Fang Xuanling have a strong interest.

After Yang Tong arrived in Hebei Province, he once again won more with less, and climbed Dou Jiande as the main rebel, thus breaking the bad rumors of 'His Royal Highness of Luck', and then all kinds of new policies that benefit the country, the people and the army, made Fang Xuanling sincerely amazed and surrendered! He felt that many of his ideas were included, but he was more mature and thoughtful than his own ideas. He was itching, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to go north, and he would meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was inconspicuous. And he left the fleet to see whether the various new policies were a dead letter or really implemented.

Fang Xuanling is a native of Zhangqiu County, Qi County, and his family has almost always been an official in politics, and his father Fang Yanqian was the chief secretary of Gao Xiaoheng, the king of Guangning in Northern Qi, and was his close confidant. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he planned to recover the Northern Qi with his relatives and friends, but he was unsuccessful. Later, together with the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they were suppressed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and by the time of the Sui Dynasty, the influence of the Fang family was no longer in a county.

Fang Xuanling is good at poetry and literature, read the scriptures and history, has been known as a prodigy since childhood, at the age of eighteen, he was admitted to the Jinshi, awarded the feather cavalry captain, Xicheng County lieutenant, and then resigned and returned to his hometown due to the death of his grandfather, and traveled to all parts of the world, looking for teachers and friends, and nearly ten years have passed in a flash. Later, because of the recommendation of his friend Yu Shinan, he became a provincial governor again.

In the years of traveling around the world, Hebei Province, the hardest-hit area of reform, will inevitably set foot in, and Bohai County, the birthplace of bandits from all walks of life, is also indispensable.

But when I came to Bohai County again, I was taken aback.

Different from the depression he imagined, although the people were yellow and thin, they did not have the panicked appearance they had before, and the indifferent and numb expressions on their faces were replaced by happy smiles.

Whether it is daily farming or the work of the county government, it is operating in an orderly manner.

This is not a sign of a big mess.

"Maybe the Bohai Sea is the hardest hit area and is being treated in a key way, so I don't see the scene of the people living in poverty!"

Fang Xuanling thought so, and entered Pingyuan County from Rao'an County, and then entered Xindu, Boling, Hejian, and Shanggu. But the farther he got to the north, the more astonished he became, because of the sight of the homeless people gathering on the way.

"Hebei Province itself has received countless victims, and has received five or six million victims, how can it be so stable in such a short period of time?"

The more he looked, the more puzzled Fang Xuanling became.

Finally, he saw a large number of young and strong victims gathered on the bank of the Xushui River in Yongle County, Shanggu, who seemed to be repairing the water conservancy.

He went up and took a closer look at what was going on.

He found that these victims did not have the sad and numb expressions of being forced to work, nor did they have the signature yellow muscles and skinny faces of the victims, but they were all energetic and strong.

On the side, there are also a few disabled public servants supervising on the side, judging by their temperament, they should be disabled veterans, and there is a greenhouse built next to it, and the smoke curls up.

Even stranger was to come, when a few of the victims were sitting in the shed, a disabled man walked over.

There was no whipping and scolding, but the duke just said something to them, and then the duke went to look at the site where they were working, and came back with some white strips, which seemed to be stamped with seals.

Then the people left with a thousand thanks, and when they left, they still had a few hot steamed buns in their hands.

Fang Xuanling followed suspiciously, and walked about three or four miles, a small village, with a group of tents, all sewn with rags, shabby, but neat. Not far away is a well-laid foundation, on which some timber is piled up, as if preparing to settle here.

At this time, the man went in with something to eat, and cried out, so that several children happily threw themselves into their father's arms.

Stretched out his little hand to grab the hot steamed bun, and laughed and laughed.

Fang Xuanling was stunned, this was completely different from what he expected, the situation of the people in Hebei Province who were not living well.

Compared with Henan Road and Jianghuai Road, it is simply a pure land.

Fang Xuanling was shocked and shocked, and stayed in an inn called 'Hero Building' in Yu County.

"Childe, please take a seat, what do you want to come?" As soon as the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Come to three of the best rooms and serve all your signature dishes here." Fang Xuanling found out that the shopkeepers here were all disabled, so he skillfully stuffed the shopkeepers with a few small dollars.

Who would have expected that the shopkeeper actually shook his head and said proudly: "Thank you for your kindness, but our hero building has its own rules, not this." ”

This made Fang Xuanling very surprised.

After a while, all the wine and food were delivered to Fang Xuanling's table, and when the guy in the store was about to walk away, Fang Xuanling called him out loud and said cleverly: "That's the case, it's the first time I've been to Shanggu, and I'm not very familiar with everything here." It's just that this place is much more prosperous than the average place, I don't know why? ”

The shopkeeper said proudly: "Son, you are asking the right person, the reason why Shanggu is so prosperous is because His Royal Highness the King of Qin is here, and His Royal Highness is personally responsible for the livelihood of the people, how can it not be prosperous?" He is our savior, the living bodhisattva! ”

"I see that the name of your store is Hero Building, and there is a number, and everyone seems to be a meritorious retired soldier? Why is that? ”

"Childe is right, each of us is a soldier who was wounded in the war, and His Highness not only gave us a pension, but also worried that we would lose our source of livelihood when we ran out. So he built a 'hero building' in the best area of each county in Hebei Province, handed it over to us disabled veterans to take care of, and formulated the 'ten can'ts', not to lose the true character of a soldier, not to be shoddy, not to harm guests, not to ask for tips, not to sell low goods and high prices...... If you commit the 'Ten Cannots', you will be expelled from the Hero Building and taken care of by other brothers. ”

Speaking of Yang Tong, the shopkeeper's eyebrows fluttered. A look like a die-hard fan.

Fang Xuanling asked the shopkeeper to retreat, and praised in his heart: "His Royal Highness King Qin is really powerful, with the 'Hero Building' to house disabled soldiers, wouldn't the soldiers who have no worries swear allegiance to the death?" The 'ten can't' regulations seem to make people less extra income, but this rigorous and upright attitude, but can stand out from many inns, become a clear stream, "Hero Building" after the fame of the start, the stay of business travel in a steady stream, more guests, naturally money is widespread, in the long run, than small cheap profit more countless thousands of times. It's amazing, every step of the way points to people's hearts. ”

He used the delicious food on the table unhurriedly, returned to the guest room where he lived, wrote down what he had seen and heard along the way, and then handed it to a guard, asking him to send the letter to Chang'an and hand it over to his close friend Du Ruhui, and at the same time said to himself: "I have seen what I should see, and it is time to meet this magical His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

"Spread into acres, prohibit land sales, heavy cold, Xingyixue, step by step point to the root of the family's door valve; Replacing money with money and rewarding can not only inhibit land annexation, strictly prevent the birth of new gate valves, but also prosper commerce, which is the real benefit of the country and the people, and the wealth of the people, which is the long-term national policy......"

Fang Xuanling thought of this, and a pair of wise eyes shone brightly.
