Section 840 Development of the Great Ming Dynasty (3)
In fact, the national inspection should be carried out by the leader Yan Changwu, who speaks more forcefully and speaks with all his words! It's just that he is so busy that he can't make a normal tour of the north, so he has to be done by Plug Yinxi.
In any case, a change in the atmosphere of officialdom is necessary.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy was developed, the politics were high-pressure, and people's desires were rampant. On the one hand, the scholars are full of poetry and songs, which seem to be sluggish, estranged, distant, and indifferent, but in fact, they are snobbish, impetuous, competitive, and anxious.
After decades of ups and downs, these people have become very sophisticated, and the habit of indulging in pleasures has made the originally clear sense of morality and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers pale and even ridiculous in the face of life and death. The vulgarity and cunning of the literati doctors at the critical juncture are jaw-dropping, even the peddlers and pawns will be much nobler than them at some moments, and even the bitches on the Qinhuai River are stronger than those literati!
Noble and solemn have become shameless, arrogant and domineering have become concubines, pathos and arrogance have become servile and servile, and strong man's feelings have become eagle and dog service.
"The year is cold, but I know that the pines and cypresses will wither!" At the time of the change of dynasties and the beginning of birth and death, although there is no lack of scholarly arrogance who threw their heads for a smile, what people saw more was the "middle-aged sophistication" of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty and the treacherous treachery of the chaotic era. Looking at the results, it's an empty rush!
The inaction of the officials also made the Ming ship sink and almost destroy the country!
Only Yan Changwu rose up, turned the tide, and changed the voyage of a boss empire.
His military victories made the soldiers more convinced of his rule and laid the foundation for him to control the country.
The crocodile jumps over the dragon gate and rides the wind into the ninefold!
In that battle to take Beijing directly, it was not only luck and force that depended, but also Yan Changwu's fearlessness and outstanding leadership skills!
This fully reflects Yan Changwu's outstanding leadership ability, his wisdom, his use of soldiers like a god, his good character, and long-term vision all laid the groundwork for his future rule in the Ming Dynasty. Let the soldiers and the people see his ability and believe in his leadership.
After laying the foundation of his rule, he formulated the instruction of "working hard to rejuvenate the country, and empty talk misleads the country" was also regarded as a guideline by officials and conscientiously implemented, so that the Ming Empire entered the fast lane of development!
……
In addition to being escorted by 300 troops, the entourage did not exceed 100 people, and every time he arrived in a province, the provincial deputy went to the provincial border to greet him, and local officials were not allowed to leave the country to greet him.
At that time, there was no modern development, sometimes living in barren mountains and mountains, living in tents, coarse tea and light rice, blocking yin and tin as sweet as food, and the style of work was so good that the newspaper reporter wrote a special report.
The traffic is not developed, and every place where he goes, he instructs that roads must be built, and jokes that the skeleton of the official has been scattered!
So the officials set off a road construction boom, and then collected the tolls without a teacher---- Chinese characteristics are everywhere.
After five months, Plug Yinxi arrived in Shenyang, just in time for the arrival of a new batch of immigrants with 10,000 people, the officials asked Plug Yinxi to speak for the people, and Plug Yinxi not only spoke for the people, but also followed the people and arrived in the Songhuajiang area north of Changchun, which is the northernmost area under the actual jurisdiction of the Han nation!
The Changchun region is not even named, it is called Tamuwei, Yidong Hewei, and Mugu Hewei on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
And Du Yinxi came to the scene in person, the army opened the way, and the people accompanied him, and arrived at the Songhua River to open up.
This vast area with its lush green mountains and vast plains captivates everyone at once.
It's a great place to build a farm!
"If you create a farm here, how much grain do you think you should fight......" Plug Yinxi, who was dressed in a worker's clothes, sighed with emotion.
He didn't wear his official uniform, but put on a worker's uniform and prepared to work with the people!
On the second day of June, before dawn he walked through the swamp and through the thorns, and under the guidance of a local hunter, he came to a stop on a hill beside a small river. Looking at the nearby mountains with infinite scenery, the clear river at his feet and the swarthy land, this Ming dignitary couldn't help but shout, "Great, this is a big granary!" You see, the east is bordered by primeval forests, and the west is plains as far as the eye can see, and there are mountains and rivers, so build a little bit here. ”
So, it was here that the foundation of a city was laid, and people called her "Xiongxiao!" ”
The construction of Xiongxiao City was arduous, with people draining swamps, reclaiming wasteland, leveling land, opening roads, building houses, and then cultivating farmland to build water conservancy ...... There are thousands of clues, but there is only one word: dry!
Du Yinxi personally picked up the hoe and worked with the immigrants!
During the day, he worked physically, doing whatever he wanted, and doing whatever he needed.
Dry back pain, hands full of blisters!
In the evening, he wrote a report to the imperial court, stating the process of pioneering, the difficulties encountered and how to solve the difficulties and develop production!
Pioneering was arduous and monotonous, and people thought that this great official was just a show, but I really didn't expect that he stayed there for three months, eating, living and working with everyone, and there was no ambiguity!
This is the case for a big official like him, lead by example, what can other officials do!
The officials also rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their hoes, and carried out active labor.
Before winter came, everyone had a room with good warm facilities, prepared supplies for the winter, and the farm was in juvenile shape, and the next year it could be sown and planted!
When it comes to the Northeast, most people think of cold, after all, it is located in the north of China, the latitude is high, the temperature plummets in winter, and snow cover is also common, can such a cold place grow food? In fact, the characteristics of the Northeast region are suitable for "landscapes and grasslands", with many plains, abundant water sources, and obvious advantages in grain planting!
Wheat, corn, and sorghum are planted in the fields, and amazingly, the leader has instructions to grow rice in the northeast.
Southern crop rice grown in the Northeast?
The belief in the leader made everyone carry out his orders, and after years of breeding and cultivation, the development of rice cultivation has become a new star in the rice industry, and the annual rice yield is amazing!
Daming continues to invest manpower and capital in the Northeast region, the Northeast region has developed rapidly, with more grain production, developed animal husbandry, and soybeans, sugar beets, flax, apples, pears and other cash crops have also made great progress.
Naturally, the establishment of the coal and iron industry, as well as the production of ginseng, deer antler and mink, and forestry, the Northeast region has become a treasure trove of the Ming Dynasty!
In just 30 years, the pace of the Han people advanced to the Heilongjiang River basin and organized the development of the Sanjiang Plain!
They defend the fruits of their labor by force, and any foreigner who dares to stop them from advancing will be shot at without mercy.
Fighting in the face of the enemy is not only the dogma of the army, but also the key law of the Northeast people, the strength of the Northeast people, the crown in the country!
The great development of the Northeast is like a wheel rolling forward, on the way forward, the Han people are hard, they are forging ahead, they fight the heavens and the earth, with the heroic and fearless spirit to overcome all difficulties, but also get rich returns, labor changes life, labor changes fate!
……
Many years later, when the dying old Plug Yinxi stood on the painting of "Plug Yinxi laid the foundation for Xiongxiao City" in the Northeast Development Review Exhibition Hall, it seemed to have walked into a time tunnel and remembered the years of burning passion!
Time is like a song, people will change, only the spirit of diligence is eternal!
This is precisely the guarantee for the victory of the Chinese nation!
