Chapter 157: Selling Piglets
There was once a great emperor in the West who tried to untie a legendary knot, meditated and made it toss and turn, and finally, he raised his knife and split it directly, and became Alexander.
This story tells us that when the transaction is too complex and exceeds the pros and cons that can be solved by input and output, the system is directly smashed, and then the input-output ratio of reconstruction is definitely more comfortable than a little change in the buckle and rope.
This is also the reason why Li Xiangqian is not willing to care about this set at all, instead of inspecting and training these guys who know people and don't know their hearts one by one, these are all adults!
Changing an adult's thinking may be the hardest thing in the world, in fact, Li Xiangqian has long given up on changing the essential thinking of any adult, which is a stupid and thankless thing.
However, is it actually necessary to change, it actually feels good to be carefully served by someone as a Shangguan.
The death case on Weishan Lake is not a trivial matter, naturally there is a local inspection, the county lieutenant is here, be careful Li Xiangqian, don't take the opportunity to go crazy.
The future world will be the world of naval warfare, but the elders themselves are very unfamiliar with the sea, and most of the future career designs of these cadets are mainly marines, and the elders' strengths lie in logistics and strategy.
"It's quiet on Weishan Lake, and it really depends on the water to draft, so this lord, if I give you some support, how long will it take to eliminate these water thieves."
The inspection is very young, probably thanks to the massacre of the previous years, and it is estimated that he will take over his father's official position? Nervousness is inevitable, I think he also lacks the exercise of speech, of course, the officials of this era are also very particular about their words and judgments, and there is no way for the ugly monster to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.
"This ...... My lord, the matter of this water thief, the situation is complicated, it cannot be solved overnight, Xiaguan here, it has not been paid in full for half a year, and the equipment is not complete, and there are many local fishermen as a cover, and Xiaguan can't do anything. ”
Li Xiangqian smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity to eat a big family, why don't you pat your chest and say, as long as you give as many taels of silver, you can exterminate the water thieves, and then you will have a chance to spend a lot of money." ”
He pointed to the shoes of the young inspector and said, "This is a new shoe, I have already seen it, it doesn't fit well, I have to run in again, my feet hurt." ”
The inspection was a little embarrassed, and he bowed his head and said: "If you want to see Shangguan, you naturally don't dare to lose face." ”
"Face, it's all earned by yourself, not by clothes......"
"The lower officials must step up the investigation......"
"Hey, don't be fooled, don't be fooled by the people below...... Well, to fool is to be deceived, under your banner, take the opportunity to blackmail the people, then you are not a water thief, you have to be a water thief, I see, you still have to calm down. ”
"When the lower official goes back, he must tell the upper official ......"
"No, the truth is actually very simple, there is no money, they all want to get rich, but little by little to accumulate capital, how can this capitalless business come quickly?"
Can you bear to live in a small house of less than 10 square meters, can you bear to watch your girlfriend and you struggle all your life and can't afford a suite, can you bear to watch your parents shrink their clothes and diet to help you pay off the mortgage with a little pension, this is the place to realize your dreams! Join us, preferential treatment, fully equipped, free room and board, a pair of pants, a pair of flip-flops, a base salary of AK47,800 US dollars plus commission, all-day mobile sea view suite, more work and more rewards, as long as you do a big vote, buying a house in the metropolis is no longer a dream, do two votes, among the upper class, and directly talk to *** is no longer a distance. Don't hesitate any longer, give you a piece of the sea, in exchange for the miracle of your life!
Somali Pirates Human Resources Department.
Li Xiangqian suddenly remembered this passage in his mind, which was of course ridiculed by some netizens in later generations, but he also said a fact.
The people are thieves, and in the final analysis, it is still an economic problem.
It's better to be sparse, than to rob your own people in this acre and three points, you are so awesome, why don't you go outside to do it? Do you have to your own people here?
However, this is not the case in practice.
The government must not be allowed to issue an announcement saying that a national robbery team will be formed to rob abroad......
Even if it is the barbarism and scoundrels of the European continent, it is also the formation of a "company", that is to say, all bad things are done by the company and the lowly commoners who preside over it, our king and nobles do not know, so many things have happened, and we don't want to, but since it is out, the most important thing is to be happy, so it is better for you to endure it.
But it just so happens that the government is the one that Chinese trusts the most and distrusts the most......
"Well, what good water, but alas, look at us, what a mess he has become."
The salvage of the corpses is not difficult, and even the terrible masses spontaneously, picking up the ocean and taking the opportunity to make a fortune is a good thing for everyone, and the fire is gradually extinguished, and the small boats that disturb one after another will take away all kinds of things floating in the water.
It's spring, blue sky, clear water, green trees, and what a beautiful scenery it would be without these jubilant people.
Li Xiangqian said: "The duck eggs in Weishan Lake are a good gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are well-known throughout the country, but unfortunately, I don't know how to do it." ”
Li Xiangqian knows that the problem is still in the road, if you want to get rich, you must first build the road, and you don't sell wood for a hundred miles, and you don't sell millet for thousands of miles, which is an old saying, which describes economic problems.
The inspector immediately said: "Xiaguan will help the adult to procure......"
"No need, the formation of this Weishan Lake is probably only a few decades, how much change has the Yellow River breached, it is difficult for the people to have any brand awareness, I just said casually, of course, your funds here are also problems, I will keep it in mind."
The bureaucracy will be loyal to the source of power and wages, but the source of power is different, the source of power in the United States is the propaganda apparatus controlled by the capital group, the source of the British is those large and small interest groups, the Chinese are loyal, and many times, it is the feeling of opening peace for all generations, and after the pattern of Beiwu and Nancai is established, it is actually walking at a crossroads.
Land power or sea power.
Anyone who pays attention to the history of the Ming Dynasty, after studying the great strength of Zheng He's great fleet, advanced technology, and the ability to communicate and discover, is all heartbroken, why, why not do it!
If that fleet had started to change its strategy and start flooding those lands, then a large amount of land in Annam, Luzon, Johor, Siam, Java, and even Africa, which was still in an almost primitive society, would have been owned by China, and historically, as long as a large number of Han Chinese lived in it for more than 300 years, after the cultivated land was cleared, there would be nothing else to do.
However, what is surprising, shocking, and laughable is that Zheng He really went to engage in diplomacy.
Yes, a full 30,000 men, of which 26,000 regular troops, made seven voyages, cost 6 million in silver, and the final income was nothing but the worship of a group of natives, the coming of all nations, and some strange animals.
Why not grab it!
The first time they went to the Western Ocean, those natives were frightened by this huge army, and after the Javanese mistakenly killed the buyers, they already had a full excuse to destroy the country, and the Javanese king sent a messenger to apologize and pay compensation of 60,000 taels of gold to atone for his sins, and Zheng He was bound by the words of benevolence and righteousness, not only did not exterminate the country, but even gave up the 60,000 taels of gold!
Being able to take out 60,000 taels casually means that he has more on hand!
Why didn't they rob, why didn't they destroy them, they didn't do anything.
The consequence of this is that the people of these places are flattering to the Europeans who robbed and slaughtered them, and to the Chinese who have never done anything to them......
If a group of large groups with overseas interests can be established in China, then the Ming can be said to have another way, and the domestic contradictions can be completely transferred to foreign forces, just like this, on the sea, from Africa, Asia, and the Americas, there are scum who were originally regarded as defeated dogs in their own countries, but these people have supported a strong future.
You're such a bunch, good, rotten people.
Li Xiangqian smiled bitterly and said, "By the way, the little brother doesn't look very old, how many generations have he been doing inspections locally?" What is the last name? ”
On the one hand, there is a lack of professional training schools, so family-style teaching is even more important, and although the oil and water are insufficient, this is after all an iron rice bowl that can be passed on to future generations, and everyone understands the truth of fine water.
"I received my uncle's inspection and became an official, my name is Zhang Hua."
Looking at Li Xiangqian's puzzled eyes, Zhang Hua continued: "My uncle only has one son, but he is already deceased. ”
Of course, it's not very glamorous, but it's nothing, if there is a cadre in the red, he doesn't mind.
Li Xiangqian didn't know that he had greatly changed the fate of the person in front of him.
In the history of later generations, although Shandong was slaughtered one after another, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, causing a rebellion, and the killed "land is barren, and there are one or two people in one household; Ten acres of land, stop planting one or two acres", but after the shaving order, there are still countless people who provoke anti-flags, although Zhang Hua in front of him looks weak, but after raising troops from Jining, he stirred up half of Shandong, and fought until more than ten years later, before he was killed by the traitor troops, and was directly ordered by Shunzhi Ling Chi.
However, after the elders traveled through time and space, they did not have this opportunity to be heroes, but just guarded an iron rice bowl to eat.
The crazy massacre that reduced the Chinese population to 10 million in the original time and space is gone, and there is no more the "Denglai group of thieves" who are slandered in the history books.
"Young people, you still have to look out, well, by the way, you Jining, what do you think about going overseas to reclaim land and immigration."
Zhang Hua said embarrassedly: "How do I know this, I'm just ......"
"Just say you know."
"If you can't get by, no one wants to leave their hometown."
"That's what I'm saying, this Liaodong is under the rule of the Shandong Political Envoy, that is to say, I am from Shandong like you."
Li Xiangqian suddenly remembered this incident, which can really be said.
Although the Northeast people in later generations were almost brought by immigrants from Shandong and Hebei, in this time and space, the Northeast people have long since died out with decades of massacres, and they want to come and move there, but I don't know how long it will take.
Wang Jian suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his train of thought.
In terms of who is our friend and who is our enemy, it seems that there is some mechanical rigidity, even if it is a former Ming bureaucrat, it will not be a monolith, and those who hope to maintain the status quo will naturally have the hope of changing the status quo.
"Do you want to be promoted?"
Zhang Hua was taken aback, but said cautiously: "The ability of the subordinate officials is shallow, and it is already difficult to do such an inspection......
"It's not experienced, the key is whether the work is done with heart, as long as you are attentive, everyone is ...... High-ranking officials, the world belongs to those old men and young people, but in the final analysis, they are still young people, have you heard of the Three Kingdoms, don't look at those thorny histories, Taishou looks very good, but there are heroes among the grassroots, don't you want to be an official and a half-job? ”
Zhang Hua said in surprise: "Please ask the elder to command." ”
"I don't have to pay too much for you, Shandong is also in the process of restoring order now, and there is no need for any big moves, I also generally understand that now, there don't seem to be many troops in Shandong."
"Yes."
Listening to the legendary enemy, it seems that he doesn't care about his own military strength, which naturally makes people feel related, but this is also normal.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs several times, coupled with the previous rebellion of Kong Youdeden, and the tragedy of half of Shandong, so that this traditional province has not been able to recover to this day, which is why the bureaucracy in Shandong gave up resistance in the first place.
According to Li Xiangqian's intelligence, under the politics of Shandong, there are definitely no more than 10,000 people who can pull out mobile combat, and the equipment, morale, and training of these 10,000 people are also very suspicious, and the total number of war horses, according to the intelligence that Shandong has purchased horses from Mongolia in the past few years, as well as some understanding, it is difficult to exceed 1,000, war horses and horses are not the same concept, and the cost of investment is massive, so it is really the financial resources of several strong guys to raise war horses.
Li Xiangqian also inferred from the number of war horses in Shandong that the Shandong bureaucracy was not interested in confrontation.
"You know, the Celestial Empire now occupies a lot of territory, a lot of land, that's all real watered land, just plant anything and you will have a bumper harvest, although Shandong has gone to Liaodong and North Korea, but those are all coastal areas, they are all young people who lack funds, and even if they grow food, they won't sell it, and there should be some people who want to find a way to do this business, well, that's it, it's like this, it's divided into two parts, on the one hand, those beggars and ruffians who have no job and no land, have no job, and disturb the peace, so let themselves choose, or quickly find a job to do, or go overseas to farm, 100 acres of land per person, and at the same time, if you send one person to the imperial capital, in addition to the travel expenses, we can compensate you for the cost of 10 taels of silver per person. ”
