Chapter Seventy-Three: Pioneer --- (Three Watches, Ask for Recommendation!) )
There is a large open space in the southeast of Yushan County, and there is a tributary of the Jing River that flows through from below, because the terrain is somewhat high, the land is barren, and no one grows grain here to open up the wasteland. The grass roots that had been moistened by the spring rain woke up and came back to life, revealing emerald green shoots that were struggling to grow.
Xiao Zhengli didn't care about how to dispute in the court, and Du Ruhui naturally did the matter of fighting, and rode Wuhua to bring a group of people here, turned his head and asked Gonghui Hui: "Uncle Hui, it's no problem to build a house in this place."
Gong Hui looked at it for a while and said, "If there is a water source, it can be a habitable place."
"Okay, Uncle Hui, I will naturally find a way to solve the water matter, don't worry, you have also seen the drawings I gave you, there is no problem, you will take your disciples to start work as soon as possible, and I will transfer you as many people as you want, you don't have to worry about it."
Turned his head and called Zhang Shun and said: "Uncle Zhang, I am counting on you for burning bricks in the past few months, and we have two villages, you can see some flexible minds and cultivate them well, and quickly call over to be a foreman, there are obviously not enough people who can stop things."
Lao Zhang Shun patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, grandpa, our young men are good at building houses and burning bricks in our county."
"That's a good dare, this time we are arranging all palace maids, your old man is also looking at it, if there is a good one to tell the descendants of our two villages, everyone is innocent, serving the saint and the queen's mother, marrying to our family is not a loss, I will see if there is a good one, people will keep it first."
As soon as Lao Zhang Shun heard that there was such a good thing, he turned his head and called more than a dozen young people who were measuring the land over to say it, and the crowd suddenly burst into a burst of cheerful laughter.
A few days later, Chang'an City and several surrounding counties also posted a list of articles, saying that Yushan County is recruiting a large number of workers, and the strong labor force is 200 wen per month, and the livestock is added to the money to eat and live, 200 wen, and the rice bought is enough for the whole family to eat for half a year!
This is tantamount to a life-saving straw for the poor families and displaced people around Chang'an City, and many people went directly to Yushan County on the same day after hearing the news. After arriving at the place, the wasteland was cleared, and the wasteland in the southeast of Yushan County suddenly became a large construction site.
Li Weiji, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was not confused when he was old, and when he heard that Xiao Zheng was looking for him, he hurried over. As soon as they met, Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly: "Li Shaoqing, do you know how to farm?" ”
Although Li Wei is much older than Xiao in terms of age, he has heard and witnessed this master's ability to make money, and he is full of admiration for this young man who invented the Zhenguan plow and the cocoon car, and he does not mind Xiao Zheng's frivolity at all, Li Wei bowed and said: "Back to my lord, the lower officials know a little bit about it."
"Okay, you're welcome, take your men and horses to Yushan with me in two days, and we'll discuss farming with each other. Don't look at me in Huangzhuang farming and let others see a lot of jokes, but if you really want to talk about how to farm, I really don't have to be worse than you, you take this set of books to copy first, but you can't lose a page for me, give it back to me as soon as I finish copying" Xiao Zheng patted a stack of books on the side of the table after speaking.
Li Wei walked closer and looked at it, and his heart was excited, "My lord, how did you find this complete set of "Qi Min Yao Shu", this is simply the Analects in agriculture."
"Don't ask, let's copy it."
"Xiaguan, thank you for giving this treasure book," Li Wei finished speaking, and held these books in his arms, for fear of flying.
"Also, Master Li, you have arranged for people to get two things during this time, but don't let others know that it was our Ministry of Civil Affairs that did it, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, but don't ruin the reputation of our Ministry of Civil Affairs, you come here."
Li Wei looked a little strange after hearing this, and said to Xiao Zheng after hesitation: "My lord, what's the use of asking for these things?" ”。
"What's the use? You first collect these things and send them to the wasteland of Yushan County, and if you want me to have fewer people, I will arrange them for you, and then you will understand."
"Obey your orders!" Li Wei gave a salute and hugged "Qi Min's Technique" and went back happily.
At the time of the next dynasty, Du Ruhui happily returned to the office and saw Xiao Zheng exclaiming, and when he asked, he knew that Juntian Ling had quarreled for nearly half a month, and the dust had finally settled.
On one side, the new forces led by the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are in favor, and on the other side are the opposition represented by Pei Lianxiao Yu and some royal forces. The two gangs of people quarreled in the court, and even the generals joined the debate, listening to Du Ruhui say that Wei Zhengdu and Xiao Yu were rarely pinched, if it weren't for Chen Shuda's previous experience of losing office, the two factions would be able to pick up the knife if they didn't get it right.
"Lao Du, this is your mistake, Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu are riveted, why don't you ask me to see such a good show" Xiao Zheng said complaining.
"You still want to see the excitement?! You know how dangerous it was at that time, don't look at you earning money to make poetry, if you really fight in the court, the scene may be wiped out if you say the wrong word! Do you think this is simply a debate over the Junda system? This is the first victory of the forces led by the saint against the forces of the Emperor Taishang, and the significance is not trivial," Du Ruhui really had a vicious vision.
"Okay, you Lao Du has been harmed in the court, you are invincible, okay, drink saliva to moisten your throat, the saint can't do those disobedient people, why bother so much."
"The court has the rules of the court, and if the saint really doesn't do it right, the world will be in chaos. This thing is done, tomorrow I will go to Yushan County with you Lord Xiao to see how you are going over there, I heard that the work over there is in full swing, you kid is smart, take advantage of everyone to pinch to death in the court, and when you don't pay attention, you will move your hand silently, so calculated" Du Ruhui put down the bowl and said.
"What do you call my business, this is a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is also a matter of your Lord Du, okay?"
The next morning, after a drizzling spring rain, the raindrops hanging from the tips of the willow branches reflected the sunlight crystal clear, and the earthy fragrance that should have been revealed in late spring was covered by a foul smell.
Du Ruhui and Xiao Zheng took their entourage out and stood at the gate of the city, and on the official road from Chang'an to Yushan, there were vehicles pulling human and horse manure from time to time in a queue passing by, and the smell of the place was naturally overwhelming.
The farmers or small traders who were hurrying on the official road did not react much, and the occasional vehicles of dignitaries and dignitaries passed by with their noses covered, and their grumpy mouths whispered a few curses.
"I said that why Li Wei of Sinong Temple was so busy all of a sudden, it must have been your idea," Du Ruhan said with a smile.
"That's right, these things are treasures when they are put on the ground, I originally wanted him to hide them, it seems that he can't hide them," Xiao Zheng replied proudly.
Li Wei found the military department a few days ago, and only collected 200 yuan from the military department, and then cleaned up all the horse manure of several large horse farms on the left and right Wuwei hills, and choked the rough billets of the military department. He turned around and handed out the two hundred yuan to the farmers who pulled the dung trucks, and now these farmers are full of enthusiasm for earning double wages, and the latrines and horse manure in Chang'an City will be cleaned up soon," Du Ruhui said with a smile.
"I really don't see that this Li Wei has the potential to be a profiteer."
"That was Liu Yijie's idea for him, although Chang'an City smelled bad these days, it will definitely be a lot cleaner in the future."
"That is, the good thing about stinky is that at least someone will not go the wrong way when they go to Yushan."
"Why?" Du Ruhui was very curious.
"That's not easy, someone asks how to go to Yushan County, and you tell him to smell the smell and pass" Xiao Zheng squeezed his eyes and said.
"Haha......" Everyone laughed, and Du Ruhui almost fell off the horse with laughter.
When Du Ruhui laughed enough, he said to Xiao Zheng: "I heard that the cow you ride is faster than the horse, let's try it today, drive!" With that, as soon as his legs were clamped, the horse's belly loosened the reins, and he ran out.
It's better than that, Wuhua hasn't been comfortable for a long time, patted Wuhua ears, Wuhua roared and rushed out, and a group of people shouted the trumpet on the official road and rushed up to ...... the spring breeze.
