Chapter 269: Results (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

It's not just gold!

Looking at this wheat, Shi Zhao finally understood why Zhu Mingzhong valued it so much, what kind of seed is there, it is clearly the ration of the people of the world.

She spoke almost immediately.

"If this is the case, the people of the world will really benefit immensely!"

When she said this, Shi Zhao looked at Zhu Mingzhong's gaze and became extremely complicated, she didn't know what to use to describe the man in front of her, it seemed that there was nothing in this world that he didn't understand, and there was nothing he wouldn't know.

"When the time comes, it is estimated that the people of the world will set up an immortal tablet for you."

Looking at that wheat, Shi Zhao thought a lot, and even thought that if there was such wheat decades ago, I don't know how many people in the world can be saved, and how much the people in the world may benefit from it.

"As for this immortal tablet or something, I never thought about it, I just thought that if I can breed a good seed, when the time comes, so that the people of the world can eat one more bite of food, one less person will be hungry, and no one else in the world will be starving, I will be satisfied!"

This sentence is indeed Zhu Mingzhong's heartfelt words, for him from the 21st century, he has become accustomed to a life of food and clothing, and he cannot accept the human tragedy of the people starving no matter what. It is precisely because of this that he will set up porridge sheds in Jiangyin and Jiangbei to help refugees from all over the country, even until now, the government at all levels in Jiangbei still has set up relief centers to provide refugees with free meals and shelter, although the two meals are just millet porridge, and the residence is only a cart shop-style shop, but no one in Jiangbei will freeze to death in this winter.

Although most of the cost of the almshouse comes from private donations, it is still a burden for the government, but for Zhu Mingzhong, who is from the 21st century, his education has taught him that this burden is the responsibility of the government, at least to a certain extent, to provide food to the homeless and refugees within its means, and also to avoid the collapse of the dynasty.

Of course, for the government in Jiangbei, all that can be done is to do something within its ability. After all, it is a time of war, and even if it is so-called not freezing to death, it is only limited to the city limits, and as for the rest of the city, only God knows.

However, even so, Zhu Mingzhong also has his vision in his heart, and his vision is very simple - to keep the people from starving.

"Actually, I am a person, I don't have any big ambitions, I have never thought about being an official, let alone how to become famous, Mencius "the poor are good alone, and the good is to help the world", now unless the Tartars are expelled and China is restored, if you talk about the vision, I am afraid there is only one, that is, "the hungry get their food, the cold get their clothes, and the laborers get their rest" ......"

Zhu Mingzhong's answer made Shi Zhao seriously look at this Jianghuai envoy who was not yet in the age of establishment, and looked at his serious appearance, she knew that this sentence came from his heart.

"This sentence should be from "Mozi Feile"."

Shi Zhao's rhetorical question made Zhu Mingzhong stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

"There are three plagues for the people: the hungry are not allowed to eat, the cold are not clothed, and the laborers are not resting. If these three plagues are eliminated, will the people of the world not be able to live and work in peace and contentment? ”

In fact, this is just the simplest vision, but in this era of low productivity, even such a simple vision seems a bit extravagant.

"In fact, we Han people can be said to be the most tolerant and least demanding people in the world, but as long as there is a mouthful of food to eat, they will not starve to death, they will not rebel, they will endure everything, as long as they can eat enough, they will think that the time is prosperous......"

In addition to sighing, Zhu Mingzhong even felt that the Chinese people were too kind, except for having enough to eat, it seemed that they no longer had any requirements, they could endure all the oppression, and they could endure all injustice.

"Just like Jiangbei now, don't many people think that they have a prosperous appearance? I read in the newspaper that someone even set up an immortal tablet for me,"

When he said this, Zhu Mingzhong's face had a bit of mockery, as if those people had completely forgotten that when they were forcibly conscripted, they were full of complaints, and they once again naturally forgot some of the government's behaviors, and selectively saw some of the government's good deeds.

The bottom of the Chinese people's demands was far beyond Zhu Mingzhong's imagination, so that as their compatriots, he felt that the people demanded too little, and the so-called "exemption from excesses" was only the "excesses" increased by the Manchu local government since the Qing Dynasty, and the taxes payable were a lot.

"Yes, the people's requirements themselves are not high, and the newspaper wrote that you should set up a tablet of longevity, not because they can eat well, but because there are almost no corrupt officials in Jiangbei under your rule, saying that even when Emperor Gao, officials are not as clean as they are now......"

Shi Zhao looked at Zhu Mingzhong, his eyes full of confusion and incomprehension.

In fact, not only is she puzzled, but also the outside world is also full of puzzlement, they don't know why Jiangbei can avoid the appearance of corrupt officials.

"It's not that there isn't, it's very few!"

Shaking his head, Zhu Mingzhong did not feel the slightest complacent because of Shi Zhao's words.

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials have existed since ancient times, it can be said that there is no way to avoid it, for thousands of years, for the monarch have wanted to get rid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but even Emperor Gao can't stop it, the reason is that the emergence of corrupt officials and corrupt officials does not lie in people, the key lies in the system!"

Zhu Mingzhong, who was walking in this small experimental field and checking the growth of Chaotian peppers in the ground, said as he walked.

In the past, the local magistrate was the dominant county, and these local officials were the ones who had the power of civil affairs, taxation, justice, and education, and they did not have the slightest supervision, and how could they not lead to corruption. That's why I will go to Jiangbei to divide powers, divide their powers, and make them check and supervise each other, so as to avoid official corruption......"

When mentioning this, Zhu Mingzhong smiled coldly.

"At the beginning, I was in Jiangbei, and all parts of Jiangbei were demoted, and these officials said that they were in a good mood, but they were just grass on the wall, Ming came to Ming, Qing came to Qing, and I want to consolidate Jiangbei, how can I allow it to control the place, but they are all demoted, if they categorically take away their official positions, how can anyone be willing to demote me in the future? As for the magistrate in charge of civil affairs, in this way, it will be changed from an executor to a supervisor, and if the people are dissatisfied with its governance, they can also sue through the trial hall, everything is prescribed by law, plus the newspaper as a supervision, supervising and reminding on the side, so that even if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they can be brought to justice before they commit great evils......"

In fact, it is not as simple as Zhu Mingzhong said, the reason why Jiangbei now seems to have no corrupt officials is that in addition to the power checks and balances that transcend the times, the principle of supervision, there are also a variety of rules that transcend the times, of course, the most important thing is that all officials are adapting to the rules now, and they will look for loopholes in adaptation, and use loopholes for their own benefit, which is human nature.

Of course, at the beginning of any dynasty, it is the time when corrupt officials are the least, because at this time, officials probably still have their "dreams", promotion, becoming a big official, after all, at this time, there are more opportunities for promotion, but those who have foresight will not lose a good future because of some blockages.

Actually, Zhu Mingzhong didn't know why he said this to Shi Zhao, maybe the two of them were just chatting casually, but when he realized her other identity, his voice was still dumb, and finally he smiled again.

"Look at me, you must not have any interest in these things. Well, anyway, the most important thing is how to make the people full, and breeding is fundamental, only when the grain yield is high, can this land feed more people and let more people eat their stomachs! ”

Zhu Mingzhong, who just wanted to use an excuse to divert the topic, heard Shi Zhao say before he finished speaking.

"Well, you, can you teach me how to breed good breeds?"

As if he was afraid that he would refuse, Shi Zhao hurriedly said.

"In the future, you will only have more and more things, if, if you can, you can teach me how to breed good breeds, so that you also have a helper, you can rest assured, I will never tell anyone else about this."

Looking at Zhu Mingzhong with anticipation, for the first time, Shi Zhao seemed to have found her goal in life, and her goal was also very simple, that is, to breed good seeds, so that the people of the world would no longer starve.

Zhu Mingzhong did not refuse Shi Zhao's request, however, as a layman, all he could teach Shi Zhao was some simple breeding knowledge, after all, he only knew fur, and many words such as "heredity" and "hybridization", Shi Zhao was also confused when he heard it, so that sometimes, he even had to explain it to her in some other terms. I even have to use the phrase "marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law to benefit three generations" to describe heredity.

However, because she only knows some of the skin of breeding, there is actually not much to teach Shi Zhao, but in just a few days, he has already taught what he has learned, and the rest can only be left to her to explore, such as through experiments such as "Mendelian pea experiment" to complete the accumulation of breeding science step by step.

The so-called "micro-service travel" is to go shopping on the street with nothing to do!

Again, when accompanying Zheng Ling to go shopping on the street, Zhu Mingzhong secretly thought in his heart, for him from the 21st century, no matter how prosperous and lively Qingjiangpu is, it can't compare to the city of the 21st century.

However, every time he "travels in micro-service", he always imagines what unjust cases, bullies and other things he encounters like the "masters" in those pigtail plays, and then comes to a coincidence such as a hero saving beauty, but he never seems to have encountered it.

Compared with Zhu Mingzhong, Zheng Ling's whole person at this time seems to be very interested, since marrying Jiangbei, although Zhu Mingzhong has never restricted her travel, but as the young lady of the Zheng family, she naturally knows that as the main mother of Jiangbei, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at her, she can't do it willfully, she must have the appearance of the main mother. Because of this, whenever Zhu Mingzhong takes her out, it is the happiest time for her, just like a bird getting free.

"Look at this man, the workmanship is really exquisite."

Seeing that she was smiling brightly, Zhu Mingzhong also smiled even more happily, so he said directly.

"If you like it, let's buy a few."

On the shelf where there were more than a dozen noodle people, after Zheng Ling picked two noodle people at random, Zhu Mingzhong directly took out two coins from the money bag, but just handed them over. The old man who pinched the dough was not happy, and suddenly said with a bitter face.

"I said, this son, what do you see the old man is wearing on his head?"

The old man who pinched the dough pointed to the "net scarf" on his head and said.

"Huh?"

Looking at the old man puzzled, Zhu Mingzhong was stunned, the net towel was promoted by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the whole country, regardless of the high and low, up to the emperor, down to the people, all have to wear a net scarf on the head, it can be said that the net scarf is the Ming Dynasty has no class distinction between clothing, the net scarf originated from Taoism, also known as the "unified mountains and rivers scarf", both beautiful and practical, can wrap the hair to keep it neat and not messy, in the late Ming Dynasty, the net towel gradually evolved into a lazy net towel. And the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, after shaving the hair and easy to wear, the net scarf was even regarded as one of the characteristics of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, because only the hair would wear the net scarf, so there would be a saying that the person who hid the net scarf would not be forgiven, and now, this net scarf is also one of the symbols of the Ming Dynasty in the south and north of the Yangtze River.

"Uncle, this is?"

Before Zhu Mingzhong finished speaking, the old man said.

"Childe, you see that you are also wearing a scarf and a Han robe, why do you have to use this copper coin of Tartar, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty......"

The old man looked at Zhu Mingzhong, his face was full of unhappy looks, hearing him say this, Zhu Mingzhong was stunned at first, and then looked at the copper coin in his hand - Shunzhi Tongbao.

That's right!

Although he is a Jianghuai envoy, but the copper coins in the money bag are Shunzhi Tongbao, and this Shunzhi Tongbao is from the Junzheng Division's money foundry, in order to be able to circulate these copper coins, the change in the back house is used Shunzhi Tongbao, not Yongli Tongbao. Every time he went out, in addition to carrying large and small silver dollars, Zhu Mingzhong would also bring dozens of copper coins as pocket money.

Now the copper coin has been rejected!

Zhu Mingzhong, who was rejected to accept the copper money in his hand, looked at the old man with a flattering face, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle, although this copper coin is Tartar, but after all, it is also a copper coin, isn't it, isn't it also common in Jiangbei? Why is this old man unwilling to accept it? ”
