Chapter 167: Taishou is benevolent
If you are a monarch and can feel sorry for the people, you are a benevolent monarch.
Those who are officials can feel the people sadly, and they are benevolent officials.
It is good for a person to be able to feel sorry for the people.
Guan Ping is currently an official, so he can barely be considered a good official.
After dealing with the matter, Guan Ping said goodbye to Sun Gan, then returned to his small study, and sent someone to summon Ma Sheng.
When Guan Ping saw Ma Sheng again, he was startled. This is a rough man with five big and three thick, a tough guy who strikes iron. At this moment, his eyes are sunken, his eyes are bloodshot, and his steps are frivolous, as if he is a soft-footed shrimp that is overindulged.
It's weird too.
"Ma Sheng, why do you look like this? Don't you mess with women all day long? Guan Pinghu said suspiciously.
One has to be skeptical.
"Wronged, Lord Taishou. After receiving the order of the Taishou, the villain and twenty craftsmen worked day and night to improve the loom. That's why I have this appearance, and it's definitely not messing around with women all day long. Ma Sheng was startled, half frightened, half aggrieved.
In this matter, Guan Ping really wronged Ma Sheng.
This makes it very difficult to improve the loom.
Ma Sheng has been thinking hard day and night these days, but he has entered the magic barrier.
Guan Ping thought about it carefully, Ma Sheng and other craftsmen had such a low status, they should not dare to work hard after receiving the order. So Guan Ping said with a pleasant face: "I see, I blame you." ”
"Someone. Win a horse and a gold. Guan Ping greeted a soldier outside the door again.
"No." The soldier agreed, and immediately turned to go down, and soon after, he came in with a golden cake and handed it to Ma Sheng, who was stunned.
This gold Ma Sheng has touched many times, although it is very hard to work for this Taishou, and it often consumes his brain. But the reward was very rich, and the last time the waterwheel and plough were rebuilt, they got a lot of gold cakes, and he, the head of the craftsman, really made a lot of money.
This time it's even more exciting, and when the loom hasn't been improved yet, Taishou-sama actually gave me a golden cake?
Could it be that there is a conspiracy in this?
Ma Sheng thought about it for a while, but Guan Ping didn't know what the blacksmith was thinking. smiled and said: "What was given to you this time, you have to make good use of it, and when you go back, buy more delicacies from the mountains and seas to replenish your brain, so that you can do things for me." ”
"No." Ma Sheng woke up at this time, and hurriedly grabbed the golden cake and agreed with a bang.
Don't say that you can't make up for it, this gold is a big supplement, and Ma Sheng's complexion has improved at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
There will be brave men under the great reward.
Guan Ping was very satisfied with the effect of a golden cake, and then he didn't say much, and said directly: "Ma Sheng, do you know limestone?" ”
"The villain knows." Ma Sheng nodded and said, limestone is very common.
"Well, it's good to know limestone. I don't know how to do it, but I know that after burning, I should burn it, and after that, I can get a material that binds sand and gravel together. Imagine if the road was a hard whole, as if it were a rock-like road. Anyway, that's what it means, you immediately get ten stonemasons to study this matter. ”
Guan Ping's face was calm.
After Ma Sheng heard this, his brain was already buzzing. Although this Taishou is very happy to give money, this head doesn't seem to be an ordinary person's head.
Improving the loom is already an exaggeration, is it good.
There was no explanation for this, so I was asked to burn something??? The road is as hard as a rock????
What does this mean?
Is it possible?
"Lord Taishou, this, this matter is really ....... villain." Ma Sheng cautiously raised his eyes to look at Guan Ping, looking embarrassed.
Guan Ping let out an "um" through his nose, and then looked at him coldly.
"No." Ma Sheng didn't dare to mention it anymore, and hurriedly promised.
Guan Ping was satisfied, and asked his soldiers to send Ma Sheng away with a smile.
"Ma Sheng, Ma Sheng, you are my all-powerful scientist. You can do it. ”
..................
Li Shimin said that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat.
Although Guan Ping was on the rice grain mountain, he slashed and killed many people on horseback, forcing back Wang Wei, the general of Jingzhou. The army entered the Fangling area, and also instructed Gan Ning to kill the Shangyong Shen brothers.
But when the army entered, not a single one of the people was injured.
Gather the people of Kurodo to go down the mountain, reclaim the fields, and persuade the people to grow rice. Although Guan Ping has just entered Fangling, his official reputation is good. At least better than the Shen family brothers, better than Kuai Qi.
Therefore, Guan Ping ordered Zhang Bao, Mi Wei and others to recruit troops in the Fangling area, and the people were willing to follow them, and the work went relatively smoothly.
If the people's hearts are not attached, how can they recruit strong men?
I am afraid that if the recruitment notice is issued, the people will have to hide in the mountains.
This time, Guan Ping sent the people of the county to serve as conscripts and repair the main road. This is also a good thing for the people of Fangling County.
The roads in the county have been repaired, of course, to benefit the people.
So don't look at the conscripts who build roads, they are all cold and shivering, but they work very hard, and their morale is actually good.
And the government's conscription has been a tradition for many years, and the people don't feel that there is anything wrong with helping the government to work for nothing.
At this moment, Guan Ping asked Sun Qian to send money to the strong men, of course, ten yuan per person per day is not much. But now it's early spring, and the people are not busy.
The strong men have nothing to do anyway, and the government has already taken care of the food, which is actually good. Another ten dollars a day will naturally make the strong men happy, and shout too much benevolence.
This matter of sending money is just a notice to the strong men. The money was sent directly to the families of the strong men.
Of course, the people in the register have families and rooms.
Outside Fangling City, Zhang's house.
Zhang's family was hunting in the mountains that day, and met several hunters surnamed Zhang, and sent out an invitation to let them go down the mountain. Later, the old man of the Zhang family, Zhang Bang led 32 families down the mountain, became a good citizen of Fangling, and re-naturalized.
Guan Ping set up a Zhang family here, and sent people to help the Zhang family build a house and distribute wasteland. It was early spring and the farmland had not yet been cultivated.
The government has already issued a zigzag plow and a new waterwheel. The peasants were not stupid, and after the people sent by the government demonstrated these two things, they paid for them one by one.
Cost price, Tong Su is not bullied.
With these two good things, labor can be saved and more wasteland can be cultivated. Fang Ling, of course, including the people of the Zhang family, naturally rose many steps for Fang Ling's love for Guan Ping.
The people in Zhang's family are all mountain people, and of course the mountain fields are not as good as the good fields under the mountains, and the life is very hard.
It was a fluke to be able to come back to the mountain to farm, and I got these two things, so I naturally looked forward to the future and was very enthusiastic about doing things.
Although it is not yet time to reclaim the fields, the aqueduct has been dug and the water is ready to be planted when the time comes.
There are 32 households in the village, and they bought five water wheels from the government.
In the morning, Zhang's house was lively. Although it is not yet time to cultivate the fields, people are idle and like to hang out with each other.
Last year, people were visiting the mountains, and the thought of cultivating many mountain fields made me feel daunted. Because Yamada is not producing well, it is necessary to open more fields, which is more laborious.
The fields under the mountain produce a lot of products, and they can obtain higher profits with the same amount of effort.
Naturally, they are much more relaxed, and they are full of hope for the days ahead.
On the edge of a canal, there is a waterwheel. Two children were stepping on the waterwheel, and the water in the canal was pulled by the waterwheel and sprayed out of the faucet, causing a burst of cheers from the onlookers.
On a stone next to him, the old man of the Zhang family, Zhang Bang, the chief of the family, stroked his beard and smiled. He is an old man with a sixtieth birthday, and he can't do farm work anymore. Taking care of children has become his daily routine.
In the past, in the mountains, the big children had to do farm work. Now that I'm down the mountain, this year will definitely be much better. Zhang Bang felt that a thatched cottage should be built to teach children to read and write.
Zhang Bang is a humble scholar, although he is not very knowledgeable, but he also knows a truth, only children who are literate can have a way out.
"Zhang Guang, Zhang Bei, don't play anymore. If you are too tired to play, you will eat more. At present, the family does not have much food rations, so they have to save food. Zhang Bang said to the two children on the waterwheel, but these two children are Zhang Bang's great-grandchildren.
"No." Zhang Guang, Zhang Bei has always been naughty, but he didn't dare not listen to his great-grandfather's words, so he hurriedly got off the waterwheel and bowed down to promise.
The two children are only seven or eight years old at the moment, and they have not yet started school, but they are very polite.
Zhang Bang was very satisfied with this.
At this moment, Zhang Bang saw from a distance that several people had entered his village on the avenue. It looks like it's supposed to be someone from the government.
Zhang Bang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the village with the children. After entering the village, Zhang Bang learned that the visitor was indeed from the government.
The little official headed by him is called Chen Cheng.
Zhang Bang didn't dare to slack off, so he invited Chen Cheng to sit down in his lobby. Zhang Bang then asked what he meant, and Chen Cheng smiled and asked his subordinates to take out the coins, and said, "Guan Tai is benevolent." Seeing the hard work of building roads, each person was given the treatment of ten yuan per day. There are two people in your Zhang family. That's six hundred dollars, a month's share. ”
Zhang Bang was very confused.
He is already a person who has half of his body in the ground, but it is the first time that he has heard that the government has recruited Minzhuang to serve as a conscription, and he has actually paid money.
"How does this work?" Zhang Bangcheng said in fear.
"This is the benevolence of Lord Taishou, how can you not do it?" Chen Cheng said with a smile, and then he said: "It's not just you, it's the people of the entire Fangling County. I, Chen Cheng, have been a small official in the county for more than ten years, and I have served three Taishou, but it is the first time I have encountered such a benevolent Taishou. ”
Shaking his head, Chen Cheng got up and said goodbye to Zhang Bang, because he still had to be in charge of the surrounding area.
Zhang Bang didn't say anything more when he heard this, got up and sent Chen Cheng away, and then returned to his home and accepted the six hundred yuan.
When the elderly are in the family, they are not separated.
Zhang Bang had three sons, seven or eight grandchildren, and a dozen great-grandchildren. There were about 20 adult men and women. Zhang Bang has always been benevolent, and this time the government recruited conscription.
He sent his two grandsons out, and the six hundred dollars were indeed theirs.
Zhang Bang's heart is really down-to-earth now.
Whether this year's autumn harvest is good or not is another matter, this comes from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the government supplies the barren land, helps build houses, and has new plows and new waterwheels.
Now even the conscription is paid.
I didn't say anything.
This is a good guard.
