Chapter 127: Benevolent Maven!

Thank you book friend Xiangrui 1, what is - the reward of love!

……

After Zigong began to colonize, the light knights who used to patrol around the walls of Chengxiang at most also had a new job, that is, as the guards of the caravan.

Zigong spent thousands of stones of grain in the lower palace, and he exchanged it for seventy or eighty cows and horses, but Zhao Wuxian was not enough, because this could only solve the urgent need. The 30,000 acres of land in Chengxiang Township are calculated according to the allocation of 500 acres of cattle and horses, which is just enough. But in addition, it is necessary to add that it is used to pull carts to transport goods and to grind wheat flour, at least more than 100 heads.

The remaining thousands of stone corn were divided into several parts by Zhao Wuxian.

First of all, we have to pay off the credit that I asked the people of Kunino to help build the craftsman's workshop. Lao Dan once said: "People cannot stand without faith, and the country will decline without faith." In Chengyi, Zhao Wuxian must maintain the image of a gentleman who does what he says in order to drive the people to make more changes.

Two hundred soldiers, as well as those who worked diligently and skillfully, were also subsidized with corn and even wheat flour, so that they could be more motivated in their training or work.

Subsequently, he distributed a portion of the rations to the elderly over 60 years of age in every mile, as well as to the schoolchildren taught at the Jizhiqiao Institute.

Supporting the orphans, widows, the elderly and the weak, and promoting etiquette and music education have always been important criteria for judging whether the township ruler is qualified. In these years, reputation is very important, as expected, Zhao Wuxian has gained a voice of praise, and now Chengxiang, except for a few people, is basically an iron bucket.

And one of the most important things for Zhao Wuxian is to encourage childbirth, and he suggested that Zhao Ying cancel the funeral system last year, just so as not to consume more than 1,000 people every year on funerals that do not help reality.

Population is an important factor in determining the survival of a state and the outcome of a war in this era. The number of soldiers determines the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers determines the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the combat effectiveness of the troops determines the merits of victory or defeat.

In history, the rise and fall of Zong Zhou was largely related to the increase and decrease of population.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen and King Wu formed the "Saturday Division" based on the people of Zhou Yuan, with 2,500 people in the first division and only 15,000 tigers in the sixth division. Relying on them, the Zhou people were able to sweep the world, successively conquering and destroying Misu, Li, Chong and other countries, and subjugating Shu and other southwestern eight countries. After that, the army marched eastward, and the battle of Muye only took one day to destroy Dayi Shang!

However, the Zhou people, as a later tribe, had only one-tenth of the population compared to the more prosperous Yin people. Zhou Wengong, who inherited the great cause of literature and martial arts, formed the remnants of Yin Shang as the "Yin Eighth Division". In the subsequent rebellion of the three prisons, he killed Wu Geng, broke Dongyi, and made miraculous achievements in the remnants of Zhai and Gupu.

However, with the Great Division, these combat-effective Yin Eighth Divisions were divided into Wei, Lu, Yan and other princes, and scattered throughout the East.

The land and population within the Zhou dynasty were also divided among the nobles over the past hundred years, and the number of wells and countrymen controlled by the royal family became smaller and fewer, and the number and combat effectiveness of the six divisions continued to decline. Finally, when it came to King Zhao of Zhou, he was attacked by Jing Barbarians on the shore of the Han River during the southern expedition, and the whole army was annihilated!

From then on, the Zhou dynasty began to rely on the armies of the feudal lords and princes to suppress rebellions, conquer, or resist the invasion of Rongdi. Although in the life of King Li and King Xuan, they opened up the land of Hanyang in the south, divided the concubines, and used their tribute to form the "Division of the Southern Kingdom", barely maintaining the situation and realizing the "Zhongxing of King Xuan".

But in the battle of a thousand acres, "the king division was defeated by Jiang's Rong and lost the division of the southern country".

The sixth grandson of Zhao Zao's father, Zhao's father also participated in that battle, and he inherited the traditional position of the family, as the emperor of King Xuan of Zhou, and drove King Xuan out of trouble when the king was defeated.

After the Battle of Thousand Mu, Zong Zhou had no more available soldiers. In the face of the increasingly frequent dogs harassing the Jingwei Valley, as well as the gradually restless eastern princes, King Xuan of Zhou had to "feed the people in Taiyuan", hoping to strictly control the people by means of a large household registration, but to no avail, but aroused the disgust of the people.

Perhaps it was what he saw and heard in the battle of a thousand acres, which made the sensitive Zhao Xiang's father feel that a catastrophe was coming, "the royal family is full of deaths, Ji Zhou will be humble, Rong, Di Bichang", so his son Uncle took the lead, and broke away from the royal family, and quickly took refuge in the thriving Jin Kingdom under the governance of Marquis Wen of Jin.

After losing control of the army and population, the royal family was humbled from then on, relying on the Jiang-surnamed Shenhou in the Jingwei Valley, and completely giving the princes autonomy to the east of Luoyi. This unstable situation ended with the demise of Zong Zhou in the Battle of Lishan.

Looking through the history, Zhao Wuxian paid more and more attention to the control of the population, although he now only has one township, but this is equivalent to a special economic zone of the Zhao family, one acre of experimental land. On the winter solstice this year, after winning the first place, he will dedicate his governance measures to Zhao Ying, choose the right one to implement in the Zhao family's territory, and take advantage of the east wind to obtain a large county and ascend to the throne of the prince.

Therefore, measures to encourage population growth should also be implemented as soon as possible, which is the slowest but most effective way to strengthen the nation and strengthen the state. The hegemony of the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Wen of Jin, and the King of Chu Zhuang is all related to the policy of encouraging population and developing land colonization.

And the most famous, more than ten years later, Gou Jian started a counterattack journey in a corner of Huiji, and was also selected into middle school textbooks for students to memorize.

Thanks to the education in his previous life, Zhao Wuxian decisively chose the cottage, he now has surplus food in his hands, so he naturally has this confidence!

So the next day, outside the village temple, everyone saw a piece of bamboo nailed to the wall with copper nails, and wrote the decree. The teenagers in the Jiqiao Academy, who were originally literate, were responsible for standing next to them and reading them aloud to the people.

"Yu Wen, the sage of the ancients, the people of the four directions return to it, if the water flows down. Today, he is not talented, but he can only be handsome with two or three sons and his wife. so that the prime of life does not marry old women, so that the old do not marry rich women; If a woman is seventeen and does not marry, her parents are guilty; If the husband does not marry twenty, his parents are guilty. ”

"Tell the person who gave birth to the village temple, and the gentleman will order him to be taken down to the doctor to guard it. give birth to a husband and a woman, and give him two pots of bean juice, three buckets of wheat flour, and ten stones of corn; gave birth to two people, and the gentleman hired a nurse for him. Let the old and without a wife, the widow, the sick, the poor and sick, give their sons, and the village temple will raise them for them! ”

After listening, everyone was silent for a while, and they all looked at each other in disbelief.

"If you give birth to a boy or a girl, you can give two pots of bean juice, three buckets of wheat flour, and ten stones of corn? Is there really such a good thing? ”

This question instantly attracted a lot of words: "A gentleman promises, the horse is difficult to chase, it must be true!" ”

So, before Zhao Wuxian could let the sailors arranged by Cheng Wu in the crowd sing praises, many onlookers were moved to tears.

"Virtuous Maven!"

Who wouldn't want four generations to live together? Who doesn't want to have more children and grandchildren? But the problem is that with the poor mu of Chengxiang, I can't support a few people! Therefore, there have been acts of abandoning babies and drowning babies in various places, and with this decree, at least in Chengxiang, during the reign of the gentleman, there is no need to worry about it anymore!

However, in this way, Zhao Wuxian's seemingly huge profits in the past half a month have actually been almost consumed. The rest was mostly freshly harvested wheat, which was put into what Zhao Wou-shirt called "expanded reproduction." Stone mills and mills still need to be built, but unfortunately the stream is not turbulent, otherwise it is possible to experiment with hydraulic mills.

Big windmills? That seems to be a bit advanced, and he can't play in Chengxiang at present, maybe after Ji Zhiqiao has cultivated more than a dozen students of the same level as him, he can study and study.

The potters, who had experienced a failure, also began a new round of glaze preparation and trial firing - in fact, Lu Taoweng felt that his people had done well enough, but Zhao Wuxian was still not satisfied, and had no choice but to continue to explore according to the path that the gentleman said.

In short, Zhao Wuxian's decree, with his open business ideas, once again shocked Zigong.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for Sanjiang tickets......
