Volume 1: The End of the Dynasty Chapter 17 Tour

A huge snowstorm landed in the imperial city of Zhao, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the people for the implementation of the new law.

Uncle Yang sorted out the bamboo slips, handed over the approved ones to the Shaofu, and asked them to record them and receive them in the treasury of the national government, so that the emperor Huan Ji could read them after he came out on tour.

Huan Ji took Pu Xianyu and a group of guards from Tianzhou to the west and arrived in Mianzhou. Mianzhou has been a difficulty encountered by the previous dynasties, here is a desert, the south is a saline-alkali land, crops are extremely difficult to grow, although the implementation of the new law has ignited the enthusiasm of the old Zhao people here, but it is also useless to grow food, so the thorn history here is anxious, all the local governments in Zhao State so rewarded because the tax has risen by one percent, but Mianzhou is afraid that it will be difficult to pay even if it does not rise.

Suddenly, one day, Thorn Shi received an edict from the imperial city, Mianzhou was exempted from taxes for one year, reclaimed saline-alkali land, and diverted water from the Woer River to the desert area for irrigation. These projects are not small, the assassin knows that it is extremely difficult to do it with the material resources of Mianzhou alone, just when he was about to go to the book, there was a report that the imperial court came, he hurriedly went out to greet him, and the Beijing official will always be one level bigger, even if it is much smaller than his assassin official product.

Huan Ji took Pu Xianyu to stand at the door of the Thorn Mansion, and after a while, the figure of the Thorn Shi had already come out, only to see that this Thorn Shi was tall, but not powerful, with a thin figure, two whiskers drooping on a thick lip, a black official robe that was both long and wide, and he walked straight to the ground.

Assassin Shi stepped out of the palace, it was the emperor, he went to the imperial city to perform when he saw the emperor, and recently heard that the emperor was on patrol, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Weichen has seen the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

Huan Ji stretched out his hand to help him up and asked, "How is the implementation of the new law on the boundary of Mianzhou?" ”

"Your Majesty, everything is normal in the new law in Mianzhou, but this field is difficult to divide, Mianzhou is either saline-alkali land, or desert, and does not grow grain, so the ministers are anxious, but fortunately, they are exempted from paying taxes for a year, and finally there is some place to maneuver."

Huan Ji groaned, several people had already walked to the study of the assassin history, Huan Ji summoned a few people to sit down, and said: "I already know the situation in Mianzhou, Taiwei asked you to do whatever you want, but the implementation of the new law must be implemented, we Lao Zhao people don't care about those false, I only want the country to prosper, and everything else is illusory." ”

"Yes." Thorn Shi nodded again and again, only then did he realize that the emperor was wearing a linen robe, and his hands were stained with a little dirt, which was clearly an old farmer working in the fields, where was the current emperor, and the same was true of the guards around him. This shocked the assassin Shi, and sighed in his heart: "With such an emperor, why worry about the world not prospering and not succeeding in big things?" ”

A few days later, near the end of the year, the matter of zoning the field has been completed, and Uncle Yang wants to go out and take a turn first to see if it is really almost done, so as to start the implementation of the new law below.

The winter is frozen, all the places are white, the people of Yuye County are sitting on the ridges, they are afraid that this scene is a dream, and it will be gone when they wake up, and now the change is proposed by the government, what if people don't give the land? So they sit on the ridge and guard the newly arrived field, these are the conditions for their survival.

Suddenly, two figures came from afar, one large and one small, both dressed in linen robes, and the two of them walked from the snow in the distance, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and slowly approached. These two figures were Uncle Yang and Yang Jin who came out on patrol, and I saw Uncle Yang sitting next to an old man with gray hair and beard, and asked, "Grandpa, why don't you go back on such a cold day?" ”

The old man looked Uncle Yang up and down, and said, "Hey, the baby is born, you don't know, the government has divided the fields for those of us who are about to enter the soil, and we are happy, even if we die, we will have a place to bury it!" The old man said that tears came out, Uncle Yang was puzzled, only to hear a sturdy man next to him say: "Hey, you don't know, this daddy has been without land for two generations, when he was young, he had two strengths, and went out to help those who were officials to earn food, but now he is old, he was lost by others, and he can only starve to death in the wild, who knows that the government actually gave us the field, now it's good, I heard that this is all made by the big situ, we ordinary people are grateful to him, even if it's a dream, at least it's a good dream." The sturdy man pinned his sleeves, and there were a few marks of a leather whip on his sturdy arms.

Uncle Yang felt a little blocked after hearing these words, his home was in Yunzhou, but he was afraid that it was not as good as this Tianzhou before.

Uncle Yang got up and turned to sit next to the sturdy man, and said, "This brother, you can go to the army with your body, you want to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, isn't it the dream of every man?" And you can also be a big official. ”

After hearing this, the sturdy man spat and said fiercely, "Hmph, look at the old daddy over there." Uncle Yang looked in the direction pointed by the sturdy man, and saw an old man with gray hair sitting quietly under the tree alone, his spirit was still refreshed, but his eyes only had eye sockets, but there were no eyeballs, Uncle Yang was startled, and hurriedly asked: "...... old man?"

"Hey, the little brother also saw it, that is the one who fought before, followed the emperor to fight in the northern frontier, and didn't notice where the lime flew from during the charge, and the two eyes were gone at that time, I thought that the old soldier would be more or less managed, but who knew that the old dad was carried back by a few sergeants and thrown down, if it weren't for a few old folks who couldn't bear to see this old dad like this, I was afraid that it would have been ...... Alas, little brother, don't join the army, you will either die or be injured if you go, but the government does not know compassion. The sturdy man choked up as he spoke.

The old dad heard the crying and suddenly shouted angrily: "What are you crying about, dog baby, just count you as useless, your old man is also an iron-clad man, he was not as embarrassed as you when he died on the battlefield, and our old Zhao people have never lost the old Zhao country." ”

Uncle Yang didn't feel good when he heard this, got up and said goodbye, and said, "Brother, don't worry, these will be fine." The sturdy man looked at Uncle Yang and didn't speak.

Along the way, there were people sitting on the ridges, and even a few children, everyone had a smile on their faces, which made Uncle Yang have a sense of accomplishment in his heart, he wanted to realize his mother's wishes and his own ambitions, he was responsible for the people of Lao Zhao State, and now the land and property are divided, and no one said anything because the tax rose by one percent, because everyone has land, and it will definitely get better and better in the future, and everyone believes in their hearts.
