Xinfeng County, among Li Township.

Zhao Guo was dressed in a coarse coat of linen, and under the guidance of several entourages, he climbed the steep Lishan Mountain, and stood on the top of the mountain, he stared at the land of Lixiang.

Lixiang is not a big place, there are a total of eight pavilions and three societies, and there are not many household registrations, and there are only 535 households and a population of 3,000.

The smallest pavilion even has only twenty households.

The people and the lives of the people here are completely in an era of relying on the sky for food and getting things according to fate.

God appreciates the face, can adjust the wind and rain, and the people's life can go on, otherwise......

is to sell sons and daughters, pawn wives as farms, and even sell themselves to survive.

In the past, the problem of Lixiang was simply unsolvable.

But now, there is a hint of a turnaround.

Ma, the largest landlord in Lixiang Township, has become the largest 'Zhang Blow' in Xinfeng County.

In the past month or so, the Ma family has taken the initiative to cooperate with the new Youyou and Qiang Fu in Lixiang Township, reported the 'senders' and 'reverse travelers' hidden by their own families, and also declared the hidden thousands of acres of land to the government, and repaid the unpaid field tax and oral tax this year.

Not only that, the Ma family also actively agitated and preached the decrees and policies of the new county in various pavilions.

Together with Lixiang Qiangfu Zeng Sheng and others, more than 200 young people were mobilized to rebuild the road leading to Xinfeng City in Lixiang Township in their spare time before the autumn harvest.

With the cooperation and cooperation of local heroes, naturally, the affairs of Lixiang are much easier to handle.

But......

"O water! The problem of water shortage in Lixiang must be solved! Zhao Guo looked at the scenery of Lishan and sighed.

In the past ten days, he has come to Lixiang four times to visit and investigate.

In order to solve the problem of low land output of the people in Lixiang, he broke several pairs of shoes.

But......

But there has been no idea.

Lixiang is mountainous, and more than sixty percent of the land is terraced on top of Lishan.

The terraced fields on the mountain, if you want to divert water, it is very difficult!

Even the small water conservancy planned by Zhang Shizhong is powerless for these fields in the mountains.

If this problem cannot be solved, the people of Lixiang will have to live in poverty for generations.

"I have to solve the problem of the canal......" Following Zhao Guo, Zeng Sheng, the current Qiang Fu of Lixiang, was also emotionally moved when he heard the words.

As a student, Zeng Sheng has been in office here in Lixiang for a month.

At the beginning of his tenure, this proud son of heaven in the past Taixue was also full of ambition, wanting to benefit the people and build a paradise through his own hands.

But soon, Zeng Sheng found that not much of what he learned in the book could be used in practical governance.

Even though when he took office, the time and place were favorable, and the people of Lixiang were also very supportive of him, a new Qiangfu.

In particular, when Zhang Shizhong played the Son of Heaven in Chang'an some time ago, he proposed 'building a well-off and rejuvenating Taiping' and was affirmed and appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and listed Xinfeng County as a pilot for the Han family to 'bring Taiping'.

Public opinion, popular will, and popular support were all inspired at once.

In addition to the Ma family, more than a dozen other landlords, scholars and even nobles in Lixiang Township also expressed their willingness to do their best for the Ming Gong to build a well-off and prosperous Taiping, and give everything they have!" ’。

Ma Yuan even personally promised that the township officials could speak to him if they needed anything.

Even if he sells all his family property, he will definitely support 'serving the public to build a well-off society and prosper the peace'.

Not only that, but there are also nobles from Chang'an, who also said that Lixiang is his second hometown, and he is willing to contribute money and people to 'build a well-off and peaceful life' for Lixiang.

But the problem is that more than 60% of the land in Lixiang is terraced rice fields on the mountains.

No matter how much money and materials there are, they can't move these lands down from the mountains, let alone move them away.

"I don't know when Zhang Shizhong will return......" Zeng Sheng sighed and looked in the direction of Chang'an: "Shizhong Gongtian is a genius, maybe there is a way to solve the problem of Lishan......"

"Maybe......" Zhao Guo also sighed.

Since he was appointed as the lieutenant of Xinfeng Nong, he has been running between the townships and pavilions in Xinfeng, and the affairs of other townships are easy to solve.

Just this Lixiang, he has no way to speak.

But the more this is the case, the more he fights with Lixiang.

Zhao Guo didn't believe it!

The problem of Lixiang can't be solved!

Even if he can't, isn't there still Zhang Shizhong?

Thinking of Zhang Shizhong, Zhao Guo became steadfast in his heart.

Zhang Shizhong presented the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, put forward the 'Third Theory', and made a military order, three years to make Xinfeng every household achieve '50 acres of land, 2 acres of house, planting two mulberries, half an acre of sunflower, 50 onions, two domestic mothers, ten chickens' goals, and then use five years to make Guanzhong reach, 20 years to make most of the world so!

As soon as this promise and declaration came out, not only the scholars and doctors of the Ram School were enthusiastic, but their minds were full of 'chong chong chong'.

People from other schools of thought are also trembling.

Even an official like Zhao Guo only felt excited!

Hanxing 100 years, this is the first voice to clearly put forward the goal and plan!

Moreover, this plan is not very difficult to achieve.

Perhaps, the stage of the well-off world or the peaceful world is too high and unattainable for the time being.

But this primary goal can be achieved as long as you do it seriously.

Even the current generation can witness the results!

Just thinking about it, Zhao Guo's heart was full of fighting spirit!

Life in the world is like a white horse passing through a gap, and the deceased is like a husband.

Since you were born in this world, you should always do something and leave something for future generations. Thinking of this, Zhao Guo looked in the direction of Chang'an with anticipation, and thought in his heart: "After Zhang Shizhong comes back, there must be a way to solve the problem of Lixiang!" ”

If this servant dares to make such an oath in front of the Son of Heaven and the world, he will definitely have a way to solve the problem of Lixiang!

…………………………………………

Like Zhao Guo, Hu Jian is also a little confused now.

He is now patrolling the county jail in Xinfeng County.

As the county lieutenant in charge of Xinfeng's judicial and criminal prisons, Hu Jian has been buried in Xinfeng's prison lawsuits since he took office.

It is different from the Confucian officials, who are afraid to avoid prison lawsuits.

Hu Jian attaches great importance to prison litigation.

Since taking office, he has not only ordered the transfer of all past case files, examined them one by one, corrected many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, released dozens of civilians who had been wrongly convicted and framed, and arrested more than 30 criminals who had relied on protective umbrellas in the past.

He also explained the details and circumstances of each case to the officials on the left and right, especially the young people who were assigned to him after the public examination.

This is also a Legalist tradition.

As long as there is one Legalist scholar as an official, dozens or even hundreds of middle- and low-level officials who are proficient in law and criminal proceedings can be brought out very quickly.

As long as there are three or five of these people, they can become talents.

Ten years later, hundreds or even thousands of Legalist bureaucratic organizations will be exploded.

It was quickly possible to balance Confucianism in terms of quantity and quality.

It's just that......

Hu Jian always felt a little awkward.

I feel a little uncomfortable all over.

I have been in office for more than a month, almost two months.

He works overtime every day, and has been working every month except for the rest of the day.

The written briefings were piled up more than a foot high.

There are also hundreds of cases handled.

The confusion and doubts in my heart are more and more and bigger.

Especially when Chang'an reported that Zhang Shizhong wanted to 'build a well-off and prosperous peace', there were more confusions and doubts in his heart.

He is a disciple of the Legalists, and he believes in the knowledge and principles of Shang Jun and Han Feizi.

But there is a huge gap between reality and ideals.

And he is a family heirloom, and there is no teacher to ask for advice, so he can only figure it out by himself.

It made him feel bad.

"Perhaps, when Zhang Shizhong comes back, I can ask him for a ...... or two," Hu Jian thought to himself.

It is not a shame for a Legalist disciple to ask someone from Confucianism or the Huang Lao school for advice.

It can even be regarded as a Legalist tradition.

Mr. Li Kui listened to the lecture under Mr. Zixia, and then launched the first change of Zhuxia.

Shang Jun and the corpse were teachers, and then he assisted Xiaogong and changed the law to Qin.

Han Feizi is even more remarkable, as a disciple of Xunzi, he became the last Legalist thinker of the Warring States Period.

The representative of the Han Dynasty's Legalism, the minister of the first emperor, Chao Cuo, also studied under Hongru Fusheng and awarded the "Book of Shang".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the contemporary legalist giant who allied with Confucianism, so the imperial historian Zhang Tang once sought advice from Dong Zhongshu.

In Hu Jian's opinion, his immediate boss may be the only person in the world who can answer his doubts.

………………………………

is different from Zhao Guo and Hu Jian's confusion.

Gong Yu now felt that his whole body was full of power, and the whole world had become colorful and wonderful in his eyes.

He wore a pair of cloth shoes and walked on the road in Linwei Township.

Passers-by and people greeted him one after another: "Gonggongzi An! ”

Gong Yu smiled all over his face and responded one by one.

In front of him and behind him, hundreds of young men were struggling to wave the tools in their hands to repair the roads in the various pavilions in the township.

More than a dozen young people who were assigned to Linwei Township through the public examination were supervising and directing, and even personally led the people to widen and strengthen the road.

In order to prepare for the construction of channels after the autumn harvest.

Walking to a pavilion, Gong Yu led people into the pavilion and asked people to erect a wooden sign.

The elders in the pavilion immediately gathered around.

"Gonggongzi...... Gongzi ...... "An old man who was a little hunchbacked, on crutches, stuffed a few hard-boiled eggs into Gong Yu's hands, grinned and said: "This is a freshly boiled egg from the old man, Gongzi and all Ming Gongs should eat one......"

Gong Yu hurriedly excused himself and said, "The younger generation has eaten the morning food...... Besides, I don't dare to bother the elderly......"

The old man refused to obey, and forcibly stuffed those eggs into Gong Yu's hands, his strength was so great that Gong Yu couldn't refuse.

Holding the few eggs in his hand that still had residual warmth, Gong Yu's heart was full of emotion, and his body was full of strength!

He bowed deeply to the old man and said: "The old man loves his fists, and the boy understands it, and he is willing to do his best to 'build a well-off and prosperous peace' in the service!" Let my father and elders be harmless and harmless, and have enough food and clothing! ”

The old man listened, nodded with a smile, and left tremblingly on crutches.

Looking at the old man's distant back, Gong Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Since taking office in Linwei Township, Gong Yu has traveled all over the 12 pavilions of the township, and can almost recite the population, land, number of households and folk customs of the pavilions in the township with his eyes closed.

And the people in the township almost recognized him because of this, and called him 'Gongzi' more affectionately.

In the Han Dynasty, not just anyone can be called 'Gongzi' by the people.

Especially the officials!

The person who can be called a son by the people must be a young man who has done things for the people and has won fame.

Just like the current imperial history, in the Qilu area, and even the whole world, countless people affectionately call him 'the son of violent victory'.

And the most important reason why Gong Yu can win the hearts of the people so much is that as soon as he took office, he announced - I want to repair channels!

And it's not one repair, it's seven or eight!

It's not a mouth cannon, but a plan has been taken out, and it will be repaired after the autumn harvest!

At first, the people in the village still didn't believe it.

But as time went by, when Gongyu ran to the pavilions every day, he tirelessly preached the policy, saying that 'it will definitely be repaired'.

In addition, the gentry and landlords in the township also stood on the platform one after another.

Naturally, the people believed.

And the people of Guanzhong are probably the people who are most enthusiastic about water conservancy construction in the Han family.

This has a long tradition.

Back then, in order to repair the Zheng State Canal, the Qin State even stopped fighting its favorite war.

I rolled up my sleeves up and down, worked hard, and spent more than ten years to build Zheng Guoqu.

Therefore, in the hearts of the people of Guanzhong, whoever repairs the channel for them is a relative!

This made Gong Yu immediately open up the situation in Linwei and won the support of the people.

Like now, the old man who stuffs eggs and fruits without saying a word, Gong Yu has encountered him almost every day in the past ten days.

His subordinate officials also met a few times every once in a while.

Now the situation in Linwei Township is not a small good, but a big good!

It is almost possible to reach the realm of "painting clothes and the people not committing crimes" mentioned in the book during the reign of the three kings.

This made Gong Yu immersed in his own world.

It also made the students and public examiners under his command immersed in an optimistic and high-spirited mood of struggle.

Many people feel that the people's hearts are available!

Within three years, Linwei Township will not say anything about '50 acres of land, 2 acres of house, planting 2 mulberries, half an acre of sunflowers, 50 onions, raising two mothers, and ten chickens ......'.

It is to try it and challenge what Mencius called 'a house of five acres.' It's not impossible to ...... the tree.

Even, maybe it can reach the so-called "chickens and dogs smell each other, and the people do not interact with each other until they are old and die".

And in such a society, Gong Yu felt that every pore on his body was shouting comfortably.

Nowadays, in Xinfeng, not only the atmosphere and situation of Linwei Township are very good.

According to Gong Yu's knowledge, Wang Ji's Fangyu Society, where Yang Wangzhi is located, and Xinfeng Township, where Yang Wangzhi is located, are all like this.

Everyone is full of energy, everyone is full of strength.

I can't wait to use one hour as two hours.

The ideal world seems to beckon to them.

So much so that Gong Yu excitedly wrote home to his elders and said: Confucius said: When you hear the Tao, you can die at night, and Yu is willing to die of martyrdom when you hear the Tao today!

And that's exactly what happened!

At this moment, Gong Yu and his senior brothers, as well as the scholars and officials gathered around them, almost all had similar feelings.

Everyone is in the excitement and excitement that ideals can be realized, and ambitions must be practiced.

With such emotions, Gong Yu handed the egg in his hand to a clerk behind him, and then smashed the wooden sign into the ground in front of the pavilion.

On the wooden sign, a channel is drawn with paint.

This will be the first channel that Xinfeng County is about to start construction!

A channel to introduce Weishui into the highlands on both sides of Linwei.

Although it is not long, it is ten miles long at most.

But it will be just the beginning!

It will also be the beginning of Xinfeng's cause of 'building a well-off and prospering Taiping'!

Starting from this channel, this winter, there will be seven channels of different sizes to be built in Linwei alone, and dozens of water wheels will be placed on both sides of Linwei, bringing water to the high slopes that could not be irrigated before, and to the originally barren saline-alkali land.

Irrigate 8,000 acres of land in the township to increase production and income.

"Gentlemen!" Gong Yu beckoned loudly and said, "Let my generation do a great job!" ”

"The rule of the well-off, the peaceful world, from here!"

Immediately, there was a thunderous roar of joy.

For these young people, as well as the people of Linwei Township.

They have longed for a prosperous, stable life for a long, long time.

So the name of this channel that is about to start, Gong Yu has already thought about it.

It's called Taiping Canal!

A channel built for the peace!

A channel built for the ideal!
