Zheng Hao proposed a new phenomenon, but Lu Shi was puzzled, Zheng Hao smiled and explained: "King Chuang does not understand the calculation of the people, with the method of terraces, according to the method of dividing the fields of the cottage and the regulations of handing over the grain, the people who are assigned to the mountains can get twice as much land as the plains, but the hard work of making terraces, the yield is not necessarily less than the plains, and the handover is much less than the plains, as long as a family is willing to contribute, that year can be worry-free, and the people are not lacking in strength. ”

Lu Shi leaned back in the chair and said with a selfish smile: "I didn't expect this, I don't want me to benefit so many people in one way, I'm really a little proud and satisfied." ”

Everyone laughed easily, in fact, don't talk about Zhiluogou, that is, when this gourd valley had just been divided, everyone was scrambling to level the land near the river, but the implementation of Lu Shi's terraced windmill law, now those who are competing for good land are beating their chests and regretting it.

"There are also people who support the mountains, not only the production of land, but also medicinal herbs, rattan beasts, fruits and other side businesses, which does not make those people in the plains envious." The third uncle also explained with a smile.

Lu Shi bowed and said: "Mr. Zheng went back and told those people in the plains not to regret it, I have a way to make the people in the plains also get rich in other ways." ”

The eyes of some of the people in the room lit up, because the people in this room had to be taken care of by the ground, and they were all divided into plains, and when they heard that there was such a good thing, of course they pricked up their ears and wanted to hear it clearly.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "This is something to say in the future, and I won't be busy for a while, don't go off topic again." ”

Although everyone was itchy when they heard it, they also laughed, there will be opportunities, and there will be fortunes.

Speaking of the enthusiasm of the people to build their homes, Zheng Hao is even more excited, after all, he has empty ambitions, in this Ming officialdom can only be a muddy mixed life, seeing the people displaced, but he is powerless, and now he really starts to practice for his ambitions and ideals, and he really does the teaching of the saints, and uses his knowledge to do practical things for the people in the world, how can he not be full of fighting spirit? Men, the most fulfilling thing for themselves, is to see themselves to build the same thing as what they want in their hearts, although this act may be full of thorns, but there are ups and downs and thorns, isn't it more man's true colors?

In the end, Zheng Hao actually danced and told Lu Shi some interesting stories about himself.

"I have seen some old people more than once, in the second half of the night, regardless of the cold, carrying torches to their own fields, this look, that touch, for fear that the land has long legs and run, as long as I see our brothers, I will hold their hands and hold on to them, repeatedly confirm that this field is really theirs, and the amount collected by the base is really so much?" Yan Yan remembered the scene at that time, and couldn't help but laugh again.

But Zheng Hao laughed for a while, but felt that in this room, only one or two people were laughing with him, and the others were silent, stopping their laughter, and when they looked at Lu Shi, they saw King Chuang twist his face away, with a look of sadness, and there seemed to be faint tears in his eyes. Looking at other people, it's probably the same.

Lu Shi dipped his sleeve in his eyes and turned around: "How simple is it for the people to ask for it, but why can't the imperial court, which is rich in thousands of miles of territory, not even meet their needs for enslavement and relying on them to feed them?" The princes and nobles, the landlords are strong, but the family persecuted by the small people is ruined and cornered. How unjust is heaven and earth? ”

All the people were silent.

Guo Tianxing said in a low voice with tears in his eyes: "I don't understand the big truth, I just know that we have to take the villagers who already trust us and rely on us to get this last and most pitiful little need, so that they can live with us in this dark world." ”

Everyone was silent, but everyone straightened up.

After all, Zheng Hao is a scholar, everything is inferior, only the consciousness of reading is deep-rooted in his mind, and he still has a contempt for Xiaomin, and doing things for Xiaomin is just to achieve his own starting point of doing great things, but now seeing everyone's expressions, he can't help but be deeply shocked in his heart, and he began to doubt his original intention of going up the mountain.

Seeing that the topic had become dull, Lu Shi was afraid that Zheng Hao and Mr. Li would be embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said: "We are recruiting homeless people in Zhiluogou with great fanfare, but what is the attitude of the government?" Don't be distracted by the fact that we're competing with them for population. ”

When Zheng Hao saw Lu Shidong asking, he let go of his entanglement and said: "With the news from the detective we arranged in Ganquan County, the government is relieved to celebrate this matter. ”

Lu Shi and Chen Ce were stunned at that time, what? When the pole robbers compete with the government for human resources and grow stronger, why are they not worried but celebrated? Could it be that all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are fools?

Zheng Hao saw that everyone looked puzzled, and explained with a smile: "This is rare and strange for brothers, in fact, everyone is not in the officialdom but they don't know the inside story, but I am a stranger in the officialdom." ”

"Let's talk about why." Geng Kui asked.

Zheng Hao's heart was itchy when he was asked, so he shook his head and said; "Actually, it's easy to say that it's simple, our Ming Dynasty has long been ruined by this group of pretentious officials, not to mention the treasury, that is, the treasury of the provincial government is starving to death, those poor and accumulating, most of them are greedy for ink into their pockets by those pickled goods, but there is no need to talk about all kinds of ills, everyone knows it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Now the eunuch party has not gone to the poison, and there is no rain in the drought, and the government and Haoqiang are even more in need, so that the displaced people are everywhere, and the government does not dare to report for fear of affecting their future, the imperial court is leaking everywhere, and the use is huge, and even the border army of the country's cornerstone has not been paid for several months, where is there still the ability to help? Even if some outspoken imperial historians reported to the emperor that they knew, the cabinet and the emperor were also pretending to be deaf and dumb, and they were prevaricating for a while, and if they could prevaricate, if these displaced people gathered in the prefecture and county, it would be a riot sooner or later, but at that time it would be impossible to hide, and the magistrate was of course a sin of poor governance and concealment and non-reporting, and the imperial court would also order local suppression again, and it was another local expense, and the war was a money-burning business, which one is willing? So this time, we intentionally or unintentionally helped the government, so that those homeless people who were waiting to be fed flocked to Zhiluogou, so that the homeless people in Yan'an and other places were empty, which saved the trouble of the government and survived the current crisis. Hahahaha. ”

This explanation made everyone refreshed and dumbfounded.

That Geng Kui was old for a long time and after talking about it, he said expectantly: "Could it be that he is too peaceful now, so he is not afraid that we will increase our strength and be even more troublesome in the future?" ”

Zheng Hao scoffed at Cao Meng's near-idiot-like question. But he still replied pretentiously: "You don't know this, this officialdom is the most important thing to get by, as long as there is nothing in front of you, where can you manage it later?" One is not good, find an excuse to shirk it, even the governor of Shaanxi, Hu Tingyan, every time the state and county report the matter of "thieves", he beats the person who comes without asking the reason, and Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, is now secretly in Yan'an Mansion to praise us robbers. ”

"This, this, how can there be such a thing?" Geng Kui and the others couldn't turn the corner.

"How can you who have not experienced officialdom imagine that officialdom is dirty? So I didn't care to be with it, and I couldn't see any future, so I joined the army for the sake of my ambition to serve the people. Zheng Hao said proudly.

Of course, such a confession won everyone's admiration.

Lu Shi interrupted Geng Kui and continued to ask: "This is a good thing, we must seize this rare opportunity to vigorously recruit displaced people into the village, first, to strengthen ourselves, and secondly, to live more people, but we must also be careful, do not recruit those tenants of the landlord's family who are attached to us, it will hurt the landlord's good impression of us, after all, the landlord is still the main body of this society, if we really provoke them and swear to be our enemies, then we will lose more than we lose." After all, in their understanding, it is impossible to rely on the common people alone, and only by relying on the landlords, gentry and scholars can they truly achieve great things.

Chen Ce said with a smile: "Regarding the tenant problem of the landlord's family, but we don't want to worry about it, first, the inherent concept of the people, the homeland is difficult to leave, if there is a chance to live, who is willing to leave the hometown to make a living elsewhere?" The policy of rent reduction and interest reduction has also been implemented by us semi-compulsory and semi-voluntary, and the people have also seen hope, and the enlightened landlord has taken the initiative to reduce the land rent to forty percent in order to retain the tenants. ”

"Good, good." Lu Shi couldn't help but stand up and applaud. Walked to the center of the ground again and paced back and forth: "But I didn't expect that a method to be promoted by force is not as smooth as to use competition." This method is good, we promised them that this windmill can be sold to them, and small agricultural machinery can also be sold to them, so as to increase the income of the people in our old camp and Zhiluogou, and second, to increase the output of those landlords and save some manpower. In Zhiluogou and our base area, we began to promote the loan method of Mr. Wu Tao and Mr. Li to revitalize the business in the market. He turned to Wu Tao and Mr. Li and said, "You two go back, and immediately send some people with some experience in this field to Mr. Chen Ce." ”

Mr. Li couldn't help but grin when he heard this, he still has a shortage of people who can take on big responsibilities, and he has to allocate it to others, how can this be good?

But Wu Tao nodded solemnly and agreed: "Yes, all parts of the base area are one, according to King Chuang's words, I will send people as soon as I go back." ”

Chen Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, and kept thanking King Chuang, Wu Tao and Mr. Li, but he was even happier to see Mr. Li's painful face.

"Then what is the population we directly control in Ganquan now?"

Zheng Hao said without hesitation: "We now have 41,000 other 6 people in Zhiluogou, and the population of Ganquan is nearly 40,000, which is 80,000 together, there are two teams of soldiers, totaling 600 people, 2,000 militia in Zhiluogou, and more than 1,000 militia from all over Ganquan.

Hei Niu is a talent, rode alone to the northwest, ten days down, not only collected all the horse bandits and small poles in Ganquan, but also negotiated the horse farm Yang family to sell miscanthus for us, but also promised to provide us with a thousand good war horses in the spring. ”

As soon as they heard that they were about to get a thousand good horses, Guo Tianxing and Da Lang jumped up at that time, and immediately said to a few cadres: "Okay, good, from now on, you will pay attention to the children of the horse family for me, I want to recruit troops, I want to expand the army, I want to-".

Lu Shi hurriedly said, "I want to speak-" Guo Tianxing Dalang was stunned for a moment, and everyone laughed together.
