Chapter 85: Patrolling Logistics, Brothers' Heart-to-Heart, Discussing Political Affairs, Opening a New Wind
"Brother Ma! In this era, in addition to its own strength, it must also have something that others do not have, that is, to win hearts and minds. Qin Shi Huang planted in this regard, and the current princes of the towns and vassal lords are limited by the cognition of the times, and they have not been able to win the hearts of the people. Our brothers will take the first step and make the hearts of the people in all parts of the Great Sui world turn to Hedong, which is like a red base area, and then we will have the foundation to fight for the world. Brother, I sent Li Yuan 500,000 stone of grain to the north just to collect the hearts of the people of his army and people! Yang Erxin whispered to Uncle Ma with feelings.
"In fact, it is not difficult to conquer the world in the future, but it is difficult to unify the world. You also know that after Qin Shi Huang worked hard to unify the six countries, there was no scene of the world returning to the center, but the people of all countries rebelled one after another. You also know a little about the Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms period, the whole country was divided into one, and the people were displaced, how could there be a little bit of prosperity. Brother Ma, do you know where the problem is? Yang Er muttered quietly to Uncle Ma beside him while strolling.
"It's not that the government's harsh administration and the corruption of the feudal government are too many corrupt officials for the central government to control. By the way, there is also the fact that the central authorities are not in place to build and supervise the army. Uncle Ma thought about it and answered this question that he might encounter in the future. His knowledge is limited, he doesn't read much, and he can only tell these things.
"These are the shortcomings of feudal society that I have seen, but I don't think the root cause of the chaos in the world is here. And in the hierarchical nature of society, there is a system of inequality and inequity in society that prevails in society. This is something that the feudal imperial system cannot solve at all, because it is a problem that can only be solved in essence after negating itself. But this was simply impossible in the imperial society of the feudal family, which planted the seeds of unrest from the very beginning. In the future, our brothers will also have to face this problem, but fortunately, you and I can learn a lot from the advanced science of later generations, but we will still encounter the most difficult problem, if we cannot solve it fundamentally in advance, all other reforms will be empty words, and we will even have to worry about our lives! Therefore, Brother Ma, you are now in charge of logistics equipment, make use of what you can find now, and create some more avant-garde weapons and tools than this era. Yang Er's face was heavy and he whispered to Ma Shumou about this very sensitive issue, and he knew that Ma Shumou could easily understand these issues.
"Brother, I also know this, being a boss requires some means. If you don't play some tricks, I guess our brother is also a dead word in the end, this era is too fucking hard to mix, there are opponents everywhere and they are all strong. Say, what will I do in the future? Ma Shumou also had a condensed face, and his experience during this time was also dim and dangerous in this era.
"Actually, it's very simple, you and my brother will have to play white and black in the future. Brother, I am a good man and a gentleman on the bright side, brother, you have to make a black face below, you must sweep away the big families all over the country, especially the big families who occupy a lot of land, just one point, take their land, there is no reason to talk about this era, if you don't hand over the land, the big families should be killed, and the land must be nationalized, you should understand this truth, brother. Yang Er stopped and looked at no one on the left and right, and said to Uncle Ma softly and with a fierce light in his eyes.
"Brother, are you saying that there will be an agrarian revolution in this era, where the countryside will surround the cities? Like Grandpa Mao, fight local tyrants and divide the land? Ma Shumou asked in shock, completely unbelievable.
"If we don't do this, the land is not in our hands, how can we let the people live in peace? Now it is an agrarian society, we don't even control the land, we can't collect the land tax, and we still mix yarn? Grandpa Mao's thoughts are the best way to guide the development of society, don't you think about it? ”
"Yes, but does this have to fight the local tyrants and divide the land? If you are the boss, can't you introduce a policy to directly recover land resources from local tyrants and distribute them to the people? Ma Shumou was still a little puzzled.
"Shovel away! In this era, the power of the clan is very strong, and they form a strong resistance from above. If their interests are moved, you and I don't know how to die. However, the most beneficial point for us now is that the world has not yet been reunified, and we can use the general trend of reunification and war to wipe out all the gentry of the world in various places, and we cannot leave any troubles. The places that originally belonged to my Great Sui, such as Hebei, Shandong, Sichuan, Henan, Shaanxi and other places, we must also find ways to make these places chaotic, so that we can take advantage of the situation to destroy the clans in these places. Brother, I am not afraid of chaos in the world now, and when all the land is nationalized, then it will be the time for peaceful development. Do you understand? It's up to you to take the lead. Yang Er further explained to his brother the truth that this big break can be great, in fact, it is also very simple, I believe that Ma Shumou can understand the truth of doing this, after all, they all grew up under the red flag. Ma Ge's own family has more than ten acres of self-reserved land given by the state, and it is no problem for the family to survive on this land, and having land can stabilize the hearts of farmers, not to mention that the whole country in the current dynasty is a peasant tenant.
Ma Shumou didn't speak, but lowered his head and tortured the words his brother said.
While walking and talking, he inadvertently came to a large dinner plate area, and Yang Er was immediately overjoyed when he saw it.
"Huh! I didn't expect you to have a plate configuration here? It's not easy! Yang Er said and took a dinner plate and looked at it. He was really curious, the standard materials of dinner plates in later generations were metal or plastic products, but it is impossible to have them in this era, what material should this dinner plate be made of? Holding it in his hand and observing it repeatedly, he found that this plate was very light and thin, obviously a wood product, but the surface was coated with a layer of transparent lacquer, Yang Er felt very surprised, and looked at Ma Shumou beside him with the plate in his hand. I thought, yes, this thing can be developed.
"This is my brother's invention. This is a piece of wood chips doped with resin glue, put into a special plate mold and directly pressed into it, the production is simple, the corners of the plate are removed, polished, and then, with the best wood paint of this era, it is smeared with a thick layer, and it is dried after drying. Each plate can hold 5 dishes and 1 pound of rice, which should be enough for a soldier to eat. Uncle Ma showed a rare smile, this was a method that he came up with after pondering for two nights, and he succeeded after more than ten trial productions with the skilled craftsmen in the house. In less than a week, the craftsmen here have produced nearly 200,000 of these identical plates, which are stacked on top of each other, and are very convenient and lightweight to use at a low cost.
Yang Er now has to look at his brother with a strange eye, in his opinion, there is no way to use the plate to eat, the problem was unexpectedly solved, and the standard plate made feels far better than the kind of school cafeteria in later generations. Yang Er immediately felt that his stomach was very hungry, and he had a desire to try this thing.
"Okay, it's almost time for dinner now, everything you have here is ready-made, I guess the people in the workshop next to you should come over to eat later, I think we'll eat first!" Yang Er said to Ma Shumou.
"Good! It's all up to me, and of course I'm going to try the chefs' craft. Come, take the plate and open it. After Ma Shumou finished speaking, he first picked up a plate on the shelf, and was about to walk towards the buffet area. Yang Er hurriedly beckoned Erzhang, who was still watching the cooks stir-fry not far behind, and a few personal guards to come over and take the plate to eat. He had to wait for the gang to come, he had to do a demonstration in front of him, otherwise the gang wouldn't know how to use this plate or eat a buffet.
This meal can be said to be the coolest meal Yang Er has eaten in this era, in a trance Yang Er seems to have entered the school's cafeteria again, many memories are flashing in his mind while eating, he eats exceptionally quietly, Ma Shumou, who is sitting opposite, is estimated to be in the same state of mind as him at this time, and he didn't speak, just silently eating the food on the plate. Only Zhong Jian's excited voice and the snickering laughter from time to time could be heard.
"Brother, will we eat like this for every meal in the future?" After eating, he said goodbye to Ma Shumou, and on the way to Luzhou Mansion, Yang Er did not take a car, but walked slowly with everyone all the way. Zhong Jian wiped his round stomach on the side, muttering to Yang Er.
"If you're willing to run here every day when it's time to eat, then eat like this every day. Look at you fat, with your eating method, brother, I will be eaten by you sooner or later. Yang Er tightened his neckline, trying not to pour cold wind into his neck and chatting with Zhong Jian casually. I clearly felt that the guards behind me were whispering, and everyone looked happy. Even the dust on the side is smiling at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, my little sister saw that there were so many dishes to choose from, and she was so dazzled that she didn't know how to choose for a while. If the first person eats all the dishes, what will happen to the people who come later? Can't you eat it? Chuchen was still a little calm at this time, and asked a question that a normal person should ask, unlike Zhong Jian who immediately worried about the next meal after eating this meal.
"Sister don't worry, the kitchens will replenish at any time according to the amount of each dish, and there will never be a situation where the latecomers have nothing to eat. And to ensure that every diner is well fed, there is only one thing, do what you can, and no leftovers. Once found, it will be heavily fined. By the way, Zhong Jian still has a few of you, don't grab the steamed buns first when you come to eat next time, a few steamed buns go down, I think you can still eat other dishes, can't you? Also, when you go to eat, take the waist card of my Jin Wangfu guard, and take the initiative to show the officer in charge here, don't be driven out by the soldiers inside and lose the face of your prince. Of course, except for the dust sister, who dares to stop the sister from eating it, you can use Buddha dust to poke his dog eyes! As soon as Yang Er finished speaking, the guards all burst into a burst of cheerful laughter, and even Izuchen laughed with him.
Soon, the group arrived at the Yamen of Luzhou Mansion, which was not very far away.
Leaving the guards waiting outside the yamen, they only took two and went straight to the hall of the palace. It's just that what Yang Er didn't expect was that the layout here was also modeled after the one in Uncle Ma's General Staff, and a huge conference table was also placed in the center of the hall, but the difference was that there was no map on the front wall. What Yang Er and the three of them didn't expect was that they were actually eating on the dining plate here. Pei Shiju, Pei Yun, Zheng Fengchi and other officials are eating around the big table! I didn't notice Yang Er, who had come in from outside the door at this time.
"Aren't you --- going home to dinner?" Yang Er blurted out and asked.
"Waiting for His Royal Highness King Jin!" Everyone suddenly heard Yang Er's voice, and Pei Shiju and the others hurriedly put down their chopsticks and got up to say hello.
"Your Royal Highness, there are many official duties every day, and we feel that there is not enough time, where will I go back to eat and delay time. We ate at the same time, and we all ate the same food, which was very convenient. I wonder if Your Highness has eaten it? Pei Shiju explained.
"Huh! All right! What a breath of fresh air! Pei Gong, all the adults sit down and eat, this king has just eaten from Minister Ma before he came to your state capital yamen to have a look. After Yang Er finished speaking, he walked to the empty seat on the side and sat down, and Xiao Li, who had his own yamen, hurriedly served hot tea and pastries.
"Pei Gong, are the dishes made in this standardized canteen still delicious?" Yang Er casually talked to Pei Shiju, who was eating, while knocking on melon seeds.
"Your Highness, I have been eating the food from there for three days in a row, and the food is different every day, and the food is extremely delicious, especially all kinds of stir-fried dishes, which can be called delicious in the world! I don't know how Minister Ma got it. Look, you see, there are still a few pieces of delicious Yellow River carp meat on today's dinner plate! What is the name of the dish? Oh! Tai'an fish. After Pei Shiju finished speaking, the other dozen or so people at the same table, everyone nodded and said yes.
"Your highness, your good brother, but you have taken a lot of good things from me! Recently, the official has not done anything, and he has done everything to Master Ma, what he said there is the truth, and the official has no refutation at all, but these days have proved that everything that Master Ma has done is correct, quite discerning! Once the construction of this standardized canteen is officially launched in the army, it will inevitably win the love of the soldiers and soldiers, and the morale of the army will be greatly boosted! Hehehehehe! Pei Yun said as he put a meatball in his mouth, and his mouth was full of oil.
"That's it! The king did not have to wait for the princes to finish eating, and at this time he discussed with the princes the purpose of the Turkic envoy Dalit to send the county to this county. The princes can discuss the matter while eating. "Yang Er's unruly and casual principle of doing things is very popular with his ministers, and now it's lunch time, and everyone is even less inhibited. After listening to Yang Er's topic, Pei Shiju stopped his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with the wet towel on the side, turned his head to Yang Er, and said, "Your Highness, the Turks have repeatedly sent troops to attack the three northern counties of Tang Duke Li Yuan this autumn, but they have gained very little. Every winter, the Turkic steppe is in danger of being cut off, and this visit to my Hedong must be under the guise of my idea of storing grain in Heluocang here, which is the same as that Tang Gong! After listening to Pei Shiju's words, everyone laughed
