Chapter 208: Mao Zhong Washes the Smell
Then Qing Ziyuan went into the house to rest, and there were more big fish and meat in front of the big table, and several small servants sat down with him and poured him wine, which he could accept.
He sat down to eat a big feast and drank a few sips of good rice wine, this Rong Qing treated him very well, but he didn't see the shadow of Rong Qing girl from Fang Cai until now, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Now that I have eaten and drunk, it is time to discuss important matters with Rong Qing, for Butterfly Valley, Qing Ziyuan often accompanied His Majesty the Emperor to sightseeing, and the surrounding scenery is the most familiar, but it is not necessary to play.
At most, I miss the past.
These places also came to the south to observe the people's situation back then, to tell the truth, as long as there is no place where Qing Ziyuan has not been in Yuelong, no matter where he goes, Qing Ziyuan can find it with his eyes closed, especially in these southern areas, he has been to countless times.
Mainly because the southern area is relatively barren, Emperor Liu Er is more concerned, and pays great attention to the life of the people in this area, and distributes silver taels to the south every year to improve the quality of life of the people in the south.
Whoever dares to embezzle money privately, as long as the capital crime is found to be confirmed, the official style was very good at that time, and everyone learned from Liu Er to love the people like a son.
Winning the praise of the people all over the world, Yuelong has become a real prosperous power in the world, standing at the highest place in the world, higher than all countries in the world for a long time, to catch up with Yuelong's rich and strong people at that time, all countries in the world have to work hard for decades or even hundreds of years to catch up.
Strange to say, at that time, Yuelong's economy was very developed, and there was never a situation of starvation in the country, and almost every household could eat rice.
It's a pity that after Liu Yuyuan became emperor, the atmosphere of the Yuelong Kingdom slowly changed, which caused Yuelong to regress, and now others can occupy half of the country.
Qing Ziyuan said to a few guards on the side: "I've eaten and drunk, it's time for the old man to go and see your king." ”
The guard nodded and said: "Our king, it is estimated that he will sort out the affairs of the court and the central government in the palace, and if the national teacher does not dislike it, he can stay as long as he wants, and he can live a leisurely life every day."
Qing Ziyuan smiled and said: "Isn't it not a leisurely life too much, the old man just can't understand, I heard that when the Zhenbei army attacked the city, it was the people who blocked in front of you, why did you win the hearts of the people so much?"
The guard held the long knife in his hand, and did not avoid it, and replied truthfully: "Great master, I am also from Yuelong, since Liu Yuyuan ascended the throne, officials were corrupt and colluded with landlords to loot the people, especially when there was a drought, how many people starved to death because they couldn't afford to buy high-priced grain, and how many people ate wild fruit bark? Don't you know that in a radius of 100 miles, you can only see people gnawing bark and eating grass, in the dense mountains and forests, the people use to peel the bark, find wild vegetables, take them back and wash them and cook them, the taste is bitter and astringent, but in order to fill the stomach, what are these things, the places where people pass are no less than the locust plague, this girl drives away the officials and landlords for the people, and also divides the fields to the tenants, can you say that you can discourage the people?"
Qing Ziyuan nodded knowingly, lifted his old robe and got up and said: "Liu Yuyuan, all these years of only focusing on fighting, not only can't take the Northern Wilderness and lose the hearts of the people, but more importantly, he is still guarding me, who is to blame now?"
After laughing at himself a few times, he walked out of the house, turned over and got on his horse, in order to walk around casually, to explore the folk customs, when walking in the streets, the streets were extremely noisy, boldly selling, and he was not afraid of bandits and robbers.
At a glance, it is enough to see that in terms of administration, Miss Rongqing is correct, and then look at the old farmers who plough the land in the field, that is a diligent ah, just grab it and ask, all praise Miss Rongqing, she has a field and is afraid of starving to death?
This Wuzhou is a watershed, Wuzhou is now desolate and bleak when he goes north, didn't he just see it yesterday? Look at the street in Qishan County, there is no bird droppings, all the way to the farmland next to the official road is so desolate that the grass is full of beans and seedlings, the crows are crying miserably in the sky, and some people are dying of hunger on the mountain.
How can the prosperity under Wuzhou be compared? It is simply the difference between the two worlds, and in a short period of time, the economic development has surpassed many prosperous cities in Yuelong, and it will be compared with Peicheng, think about the difference between the empty treasury of the DPRK and China and these places in Liangzhou?
According to Qing Ziyuan's speculation that it will not be three years, if Rongqing's military strength improves, it will definitely stand at the top of the world, and other countries will not be able to catch up in less than a hundred years.
Thinking about the land of Zhaonan, there are no military and no politics, and bandits are rampant, this Rong Qing accepted the bandits and set up the bandit leader as the founding general, is it still difficult to take Zhaonan? This trick seems to be very good, killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, the local population of Zhaonan is sparse, the resistance forces are not concentrated, and the resistance forces are too weak to be eliminated without much effort, and those people certainly expect Zhaonan to become a country with the rule of law, to become a real country, and not to be like the original world of wandering orphans and no one to take them in.
Due to the special geographical location, the economic development of Zhaonan is very fast, Zhaonan even near the moon dragon, Nanyan, Ximang three big countries, the traffic is developed, relying on those businessmen to buy road expenses to make a lot of money, since the bandits in Zhaonan have gone to the army, businessmen dare to pass by from here, it can be said that there are more and more businessmen passing by, and the business of those who open inns is called a boom.
The people of Zhaonan have less to make a living from farming, and they all rely on business to make a living, and they will soon become rich.
At the beginning, Ximang, Yuelong, and Nanyan didn't look down on this inconspicuous little land, because they were too poor, and they thought that the income would only drag down the country.
Once, Qing Ziyuan proposed to Liu Yuyuan that it was better to take Zhaonan than to attack the Northern Wilderness, but Liu Yuyuan slapped him back and said that Zhaonan was so poor that it was unbearable, what was the use of collecting it, and the DPRK and China would still pull money there to help them restore the economy?
Qing Ziyuan also said, then there is no hope for the Northern Wilderness to recover the economy, and the Northern Wilderness is sparsely populated, the weather is cold and freezing, which is not suitable for the survival of the Moon Dragon soldiers, and the soldiers will be cold to death if they are not taken for a while and a half, which is much better than the Northern Wilderness in Zhaonan.
Later, Liu Yuyuan did not reuse Qing Ziyuan and left him out in the cold.
Everyone understands that Liu Yuyuan wants the Northern Wilderness to be big quickly, and it is many times bigger than Zhaonan.
Yuelong's strongest soldiers and horses are in the Northern Army, and Liu Yuyuan can see that he can't take the Northern Wilderness over the years, that is, his temperament is so strong, even if he can't take it, he has to do it hard.
The Zhenbei army did not reach the interior of the Northern Wilderness, and could not stand the freezing cold and retreated, how could it be taken? Could it be that the bow and crossbow could sweep the entire Northern Wilderness, and could the Pu knife be able to slash the entire Northern Wilderness?
The biggest enemy of the Northern Wilderness is not the enemy, it is nature, if you want to take the Northern Wilderness, you have to overcome nature, but can people overcome nature with their meager strength?
