Chapter Twenty-Nine: Let Me End This Damn War
Ji Kang knew in his previous life that a qualified leader must be unchanging in the face of Mount Tai.
When disaster strikes in this country, the first thing you have to do as a leader is to appear in front of everyone and make the people feel that you are with them. Especially during a disaster, we must think about what the people think and do what the people want to do.
After Bo Wang led the Liao army to Wangping, the Donghu army did not fight a decisive battle with the Liao army that came to aid him. Instead, he ran back to Donghu with the materials he had plundered as fast as he could.
The village that was most ravaged by the Donghu army was the village called Dongjiao that was closest to the Donghu border.
This time, the Donghu army attacked very suddenly, and the people of this village could not react, and went to take refuge in the mountains or the nearby walled fortress Zhuangzi, and were plundered.
Ji Kang and the other three, accompanied by Bo Wang, came to the East Point.
Standing at the entrance of the village, looking inside, Ji Kang, Shi Kang, Tian Guang and others gasped. The houses in the village are still blazing, and the pillars of smoke are rising high. The main road in the village was littered with corpses, making it almost impossible to move forward.
Ji Kang and the others, carefully avoiding the lying corpses, slowly walked towards the village. Many of the bodies were still bleeding, and some of the women's bodies were naked.
Bo Wang explained to Ji Kang: "Childe, every time the Donghu army comes to our side to plunder. Take away as many people as you can as much as you can, and kill those who can't. This time, because the counterattack was very fast, the Donghu army concentrated the raiders in Dongjiao and didn't have time to take them away, so they ......"
When Ji Kang saw this, his spirit was a little trance.
In my previous life, I didn't see any of this. I came to this world and have been living a peaceful life. What is happening in front of him now makes Ji Kang feel the cruelty of this world for the first time.
At this time, Ji Kang saw a woman lying on the ground under the corner of a courtyard in the house on the left, apparently hacked to death, while her right hand was clinging to a swaddling baby in front of her.
Ji Kang looked over and saw that the baby had been stabbed to death with a spear.
Ji Kang's eyes were red, and Shi Kang and Tian Guang next to him had already shed tears.
Ji Kang put the swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby, and put them back into the mother's arms as he still grasped the swaddling mother's hand, so that the dead mother could hold her child tightly.
The tears could no longer be controlled and fell.
Whispered to the mother who was holding her child, "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! ”
After half a ring, he asked Bo Wang: "Do you know which tribal army of Donghu is the one who plundered Wangping?" ”
"Hui Gongzi is a tribe of Donghu Tuobuda, and this tribe has more than 5,000 Donghu troops."
After hearing this, Ji Kang nodded. Without saying anything, he continued to walk forward.
And Jun Xiangju Xin learned the news that Ji Kang went to Wangping with Bo Wang. I couldn't care about anything, so I rushed to Wangping County with relief materials.
At this moment, the Donghu army has been severely plundered by several of the latest resettlement villages. Before these villages could build forts, the food and belongings stored in their homes were swept away by these greedy Donghu troops, leaving thousands of people who had fled from the mountains to cry.
Xinzhizhuang was also within the scope of this raid by the Donghu army, and Ji Xin, who came with Ji Kang, accompanied by Shi Kang and Tian Guang, and accompanied by the county commander Zukang, appeared in front of the people.
Ji Kang stopped the county commander Zu Kang's practice of gathering the people, but went in door to door with Ji Xin and others, and delivered relief materials to the victims one by one.
When the people knew that this child, who personally handed over the relief materials to their hands, was their little prince, everyone and every household knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
The same is true for Ma Chi's family, who took the grain handed over by Ji Kang himself. Only then did they know that the one standing in front of them was the little prince they were thinking about.
Ma Chi, his wife, and their two children fell to their knees.
Ji Kang hurriedly asked Shi Kang and Tian Guang to step forward to help Ma Chi's family up. Holding Ma Chi's hand full of dirt with his small hand, he said, "This fellow, is there a big loss in the family?" ”
Ma Chi shed tears and said in a trembling voice: "Junhou, there are no good things at home. When they came, our family brought some food and hid in the back mountain, and it was these robbers who burned down the house. ”
Ji Kang nodded, patted Ma Chi's hand with his little hand and said: "It's okay, the house is burning, the government can help you build it again, if there is no food, the government can also distribute it to you villagers who have been affected by the disaster, as long as the people are okay." ”
As Ji Kang moved forward, the villagers of the entire village knew that their little prince was coming, and the whole village surrounded them.
Ji Kang looked at the villagers gathered around him, stood on a dirt slope, and shouted loudly to the villagers: "Fellow villagers, I know that you have suffered, and even some family members have suffered misfortunes.
I swear here: sooner or later, we will have to pay back the blood debt of our fellow villagers from these damned robbers. ”
Shi Dang was below, shouting loudly: "Blood debt and blood repayment!" ”
All the villagers also raised their fists together, and shouted loudly with Shi Dang: "Blood debt and blood repayment!" Blood debt and blood repayment! ”。
Ji Kang glanced at Shi Kang and continued: "Fellow villagers, I have ordered that the government will no longer collect any taxes in the few nearby villages that have been robbed.
Not only that, but the government will also help you, so that each and every one of you will not go hungry and no one will be cold.
Under the leadership of the government, we must rebuild our villages, not only to build our own better houses, but also to build strong forts.
Let these damned robbers not dare to invade our village again. Folks, no matter how great the ordeal is, I, Ji Kang, the son of Yan Kingdom, will always stand with you. ”
After Ji Kang left Xinzhizhuang, Ma Chi and everyone in Xinzhizhuang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the distant Xiaojunhou. Everyone no longer feels hesitant in their hearts, and everyone is full of expectations for the future.
On the way back to Xiangping City, I looked at Tian Guang and Shi Kang, who were red because they saw the hardships suffered by the villagers.
Ji Kang patted them on the shoulder and said, "There is nothing to cry about, in this land, the people who have suffered are everywhere.
In the future, we will all work together to bury all these forces that do not care about the lives of the people in the ground, and give the people a healthy life. ”
Then say out loud: "This is our mission!" ”
Shi Dang and Tian Guang nodded together and said, "Yes, this is our mission." ”
Whether in my previous life or in this world, what I saw was a peaceful life. Although he was comforting Shi Kang and Tian Guang, he saw everything that the border people had suffered. Ji Kang, who returned to the Junhou Mansion in Xiangping City, still couldn't let go of it for a long time in his heart.
Shut yourself in the study, and no one, including Shi Kang, can enter. After his mother Ji Zhao hurriedly arrived when he heard the news, Ji Kang opened the door.
looked at his son, who is usually smart and wise, but now his eyes are red. Ji Zhao realized that his son, no matter how tall and wise he usually behaved, was actually still a six or seven-year-old child.
Holding his son in his arms, he gently touched his son's head and said, "Okay, son, don't be sad." This is the fate of the people! ”。
Ji Kang was in his mother's arms and said to his mother: "Mother, is it so difficult for my son to let the people live a healthy life?" ”
The mother sighed and said, "Son, in this world, there are days of peace and well-being. From Zhao to Yan, I could hear about the war that year, but I didn't hear that there was no war that broke out that year. ”
Ji Kang raised his head from his mother's arms and said, "Mother, then let my son grow up quickly and end this damn war!" ”。
Ji Zhao smiled and didn't pay attention.
He continued to stroke his son's head with his hand and said, "Okay, my mother will wait for my son to grow up and have the ability to end this damn war." ”
In the seventh year of King Wucheng, after the autumn harvest at the end of September.
The officials of the counties and counties in Liaodi received the documents of the Junhou Mansion.
Starting from the first day of the first lunar month next year, all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished for peasant households, and only grain taxes will be collected;
From January 1 next year, the commerce bureaus under the counties will begin to collect commercial taxes and cancel all tolls;
From the first day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the Junhou Mansion set up a medical department and appointed Qin Sent as a doctor in the medical department. Each county has a medical bureau to manage the medical work of each county in a unified manner;
In order to standardize the chaotic units of measurement in Liaodi, unify the weights and measures in Liaodi. Its standards are completely based on the standards of Ji Kang's previous life. The counting symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are used to replace the current swallow number writing mode.
The new weights and measures regulations will be implemented from the first day of the first lunar month next year.
In June next year, Xiangping College will begin to recruit students from various counties in Liaodi.
At this moment, what Ji Kang did in Liaodi was not noticed by all the countries in the world. Later generations of historians, when they saw this period of history, were full of emotion after careful evidence collection and analysis.
