Chapter 402: Into Youzhou
"Confucianism said, born to cook, the king of the people and the tree, this is a deception of the world! Is it the emperor's earnest words? I will also say that I want to do it! The so-called taxation is nothing more than the result of the distinction between the strong and the weak, the wise and the foolish, and the result of the strong and wise conquering the weak and the foolish, bullying the weak! β
On the carriage moving slowly, Chen Zhi and Bao Jingyan sat opposite each other, listening to each other's words, their hearts rippling. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
There is no other reason, it is really Bao Jingyan's words that subverted his inherent impression of being a famous man and a scholar in this era.
After all, according to this person, the so-called people need a king, which is a scam, and according to Bao Jingyan's meaning, the people not only do not need a king, but also should not pay taxes.
This is a proper apoliticalγγ-governmentist!
"Is this the way to be good at money? According to this person's statement, not to mention the accumulation of wealth and goods, even the administrative organization has been changed and banned, where else do you operate, and what kind of county guard do you do? β
He was surprised in his heart, but Chen Zhi still said with a smile: "What Bao Jun said is very true, but if the order has been set today, where can I act rashly?" If you really follow your words, I am afraid that the world will be disrupted again. β
Bao Jingyan nodded and said: "Jun's meaning, I also understand, is to rise from a corner of the world, before Chen Jun asked me about the law of wealth, I also have some ideas, you can temporarily settle the current situation, but you have to wait until Daijun to implement it in detail." β
Hearing this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the person in front of him had not been completely eroded by idealism, and he still knew that he was down-to-earth.
Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, after all, this time he unexpectedly recruited three people, and even the little fairy Weng followed him because of curiosity, and went to Daijun together, which was really an unexpected gain.
Just as Chen Zhi expected at the time, having such four people to help him can make him feel like a tiger and reduce a lot of trouble, and that dinner, after he talked with the four people, he also found that these four have their own strengths, even the bundle and Zhang Kang, who seem to be just excellent articles, also have their own opinions on politics, at least from what they say, at least Zhao Kuo, can say beautiful articles, what are the specific means, then it has to go to the place, real investigation.
It's just that with the addition of these four people, it also brought new troubles to Chen Zhi, so he had to prepare in advance, after all, in this era, a scholar clan with a certain status, and not a person from a poor family, is willing to follow a county guard and go to the frontier to work from the staff, without asking for it, it is impossible.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the changes that have occurred in the past few days.
Seven days have passed since that feast.
Seven days is enough time for Chen Zhi to make arrangements for Pengcheng's affairs, and while giving Pengcheng Chen's platform, he also uses his own influence to make the family's foundation more and more stable.
Of course, in this process, Chen Zhi also gave his brother the right to speak in the Chen family.
Subsequently, after meeting with the people who came from the Chen family in Xiapi, Chen Zhi took the remaining 150 people from his family according to the original plan, and in addition, he selected more than 200 people from the households under the name of the Chen family, and after a simple exercise, he handed it over to his second brother, and arranged for him to train this group of people a little according to the consistent drill method, and after knowing the difference between the ranks, he led them to the north.
In this era, it is common for the family to move long distances, but it also requires a certain amount of logistics supply, Chen Zhi has one hundred and fifty people, before he has established enough network of contacts in the north, it is unrealistic and difficult to let too many people go, this is not the future after all, there is no public transportation, if the family goes, they must rely on their legs.
How can a family member who has not undergone the most basic training withstand it? Not to mention, outside the city in this era, there are not only homeless people and bandits, but also the jungle understands that the infestation of wild beasts is necessary to master some basic military skills.
After making these arrangements, the time is almost the same, a month is not a long time, but in this era, rushing itself is an unpredictable thing, and it is necessary to get on the road as soon as possible.
But at this time, there was a news that several Xianbei tribes in northern Xinjiang were showing signs of fighting each other, and the entire northern Xinjiang was loaded with guns and ammunition, and it seemed that something was going to happen again.
In addition, Chen Zhi's wife Yang was recently found to be pregnant, so he temporarily decided to let Yang You stay in Xuzhou, and he took people to Youzhou first, accompanied by Bao Jingyan and others.
These celebrities gathered and stayed in Pengcheng just for Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi also had the idea of recruiting at that time, but he didn't expect that he could really get his wish.
In fact, many of the staff members of this era are well-educated people, but because of the problem of background, they cannot get the recommendation of the central officials, so they do not have a high enough rural quality, there is no good way out.
Zhu Shou's staff Zheng Guan, Zhang Ying's Wang Bu, and even Su Liao, who finally decided to defect to Chen Zhi, and even some of the staff under Na Shile before, are actually from this background.
But Zhang Kang, Shu Jiao and others are different, they are also born, they also have hometown products, fame, and connections, as long as they are properly managed, they do not worry about the way out, but they are willing to accept Chen Zhi's solicitation, although in the name of the name, it is the so-called very happy conversation with Chen Zhi, and they have gains, so they accompany and often discuss.
"But such an excuse can't be said at all, it's not a study tour, these people are all famous people, I don't go out to play in the mountains and rivers, but to be a county guard, to do practical things, where to talk to them, talk to them about the mysteries, they defected this time, I'm afraid the reason behind it is not so simple."
Although he understands this, Chen Zhi doesn't have too many worries, because the more people under this person's command, the more chaotic people's hearts become.
With such a thought, Chen Zhi went all the way north, and after meeting Chen Zi, Yang Song and others halfway, and after gathering all the manpower, he didn't stop, and went to that Youzhou.
However, Chen Zhi was not idle along the way, he sat in the spacious carriage, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery along the way, and he didn't even have much time to read and practice calligraphy, but took the materials brought by Chen Zi, Yang Song and others from Luoyang, and studied them repeatedly.
In this, what he values most is the issue of Youzhou's boundaries and population flow.
According to the above statement, about thirteen years ago, a large-scale migration of displaced people began, and the main route was from north to south! This situation is so destructive to the economic life of the north that I am afraid that it is still above the natural disaster, after all, there is nothing to do without people! β
Thinking about it, he put down the stacks of materials in his hand, closed his eyes and thought about it, making a rough estimate of the difficulties that were coming.
Time passed slowly in his thoughts, and in a few days, he would arrive at the boundary of Youzhou, and according to the plan of the imperial court, it was best for him to meet with the two states assassin Wang Jun first, and then go to Dai County to take up his post.
However, the farther north they went, the more they found that there were more displaced people here, and the villages and towns in many places became ruins and became more and more desolate.
After entering Youzhou, such a situation became more common, and even in the past, it was rumored that there was hardly a single intact village or town in Yan County, which was quite rich and healthy.
In the end, the chaos and miserable scene outside the car made it impossible for Chen Zhi to sit in the car and plan, but to get out of the car from time to time, greet the displaced people along the way, or help as much as possible.
However, their team was large in number, and they needed a lot of food every day, so they couldn't divide too much food, and they shouldn't give too much, because it could bring disaster if it raised the expectations of the homeless.
So they slowed down.
"It's really unexpected." Even Ge Hong, who has always given people the feeling of being a superior person outside the world, couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that the imperial court is really immoral?" β
In fact, this little fairy did not take refuge in Chen Zhi, nor did he go to assist him, but simply wanted to travel to the north, and at the same time had opinions on some of Chen Zhi's remarks, and more importantly, he and Bao Jingyan had some opposing ideas, and the two sides often debated along the way, but no one could convince anyone.
At this time, as soon as he sighed, Bao Jingyan stepped forward and said: "Where is it related to the immorality of the imperial court, it is just a change in the heavens, since the unification of the north and south of Xuanwu, the rivers are located, and there are fierce disasters for many years, almost no year or break, earthquakes, floods, droughts, winds, hail, locusts, frost, snow, and epidemics, which have come one after another, and have appeared all the time, could it be that in the past 30 years, several emperors have lost their morality?" Although I don't like people, I have to say a word of justice for them, and this matter has nothing to do with them! It is just the eternal rule of the movement of heaven and earth! β
As soon as he said this, Ge Hong's brows suddenly furrowed, but Chen Zhi on the side heard it in his eyes.
"Bao Jun, listen to the meaning of your words, do you seem to have insight into this? Can you elaborate on that? β
Hearing Chen Zhi's inquiry, Bao Jingyan nodded with a smile, and then said: "It's okay, but these things can't be explained clearly for a while, my scholar has brought some manuscripts, and you can ask Chen Jun to take a look at it when the time comes." β
Ge Hong hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know if I can take a look?" β
Bao Jingyan nodded and said, "Of course, I'm going to see you!" β
A few people spoke, and soon got back on the road.
At the same time, this convoy also attracted the attention of others, and soon a news spread to Yan County, the county capital of Yan County.
"General, that Chen Zhi is here, this is the news handed over below, please ......take a look at it" The document of the report was taken to a tall mansion and placed in front of a man with a dignified face.
But the man didn't look at it, but shook his head and said, "Such a trivial matter, when the business is over, let's let a few people come in first." β
