Thank you for the book friend Smoke Purgatory, the delusional reward of expansion!

……

Although they only met by chance in Xinjiang and talked for only an hour, Zhao Wuxian's speech was quite in line with Zigong's taste. This gentleman seems to know the concept of Confucius very well, and sometimes, he and the master who have never met even coincide.

So Zigong thought about it, should he also recommend his master's way of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and pleasure to the Zhao gentleman and help him build a well-off township?

And when he was in Xinjiang, he heard rumors in the market that although Zhao Wuxian was a concubine, he was quite favored by the sect leader Zhao Ying. In the future, he may be able to become the son of the family, inherit the family business, and even have the opportunity to become the ruling ...... of the Jin State

At that time, if Zhao Wuxian can invite the master to come to the Jin Kingdom and be the ruler of the Zhao family, he is still afraid that the way of the master will not be able to prevail in the world?

Thinking of this, Zigong showed a wistful smile.

With such careful thoughts, he piggyback on some of the master's remarks he had described in his diary, hoping to find an opportunity to dedicate them to Zhao Wuxian. When the time comes, he will praise the current situation of Zhongduyi, and with his eloquence, he will surely be able to persuade the Zhao gentlemen to follow suit.

Zigong originally thought that the Zhongdu Yi under the rule of his master was already the most perfect city in the world, but after returning to the Jin Kingdom and coming to Chengxiang, Zigong was shocked by what he saw and heard.

……

The terrain is slowly getting higher, and in the imagination of Chengxiang and Zigong in front of him, the barren small townships that can be seen everywhere in Jinweilu and other countries are very different.

I saw that the wheat planted in the field for winter had been harvested, and the Chinese people and savages were busy returning the bundled straw to the field. The round-haired Zhao soldiers and guards took off their armor, carried loads of manure and poured it into the ground, shouting stinky while joking and laughing with the people.

They are seizing the more than one month when the wheat is ripe and the millet is not planted, so that the land can rest and restore its fertility.

There are a large number of people who loosen the soil in the fields, and almost every 100 acres of land, there is an ox or pack horse pulling a plough to plough the ground. There are old peasants with doves and canes pointing at the side, supervising the young people not to be lazy and ploughing the land carefully, and the style of those farm tools is not quite the same as what Zigong has seen before.

Looking at this orderly farming scene, his evaluation of the Zhao gentleman in his heart was another layer higher, although it was only a township, it was very rare to be able to govern the Lingyi so well.

Further inside, I saw ditches crisscrossing the fields, shirtless farmers shouting trumpets and trampling on wooden instruments like long dragons, and the water was drawn up from the stream, irrigating thousands of acres of fields.

This miraculous situation made Zigong stop. From Yu Xi, the light knight who led him forward, he learned that this thing was called the keel waterwheel, which was made by the Zhao gentleman and the craftsmen, not only in the public fields, but also in the private fields.

Zigong silently memorized the pattern and shape of this object, but he knew that unless a craftsman who had been immersed in carpentry for many years disassembled this complex instrument and carefully studied it, it was impossible to imitate it easily.

I don't know, is this the secret of the Zhao gentleman, if you ask him, can you get one or two? If it is placed in the small manor of the Duanmu family of Weiguo, or if it is implemented in the capital of Lu Guozhong, which is slaughtered by the master, it will definitely increase the yield per mu and make it several times more convenient for farmers to irrigate!

With this in mind, he deliberately stopped by the roadside, pointed out the new things, and asked the roadside farmers some things, and Yu Xi got the gentleman's instructions before he came, and he did not stop them.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the tax rate of this township acre?"

The honest old man looked at a loss: "Tax rate? What's that? ”

Zigong patiently changed his words: "That is, for every ten buckets of wheat you harvest, how much do you have to hand over to the township temple?" ”

This said, the old peasant of the country understood, he folded his hands and calculated, and responded: "Two and a half fights!" Compared with the original Cheng clan when he was the township slaughterer, it is several times less! ”

"It's actually twenty taxes and one!"

This shocked him extremely that the tax rate of Xiaoxiao Chengxiang was actually lower than the eleventh tax implemented by the master in Zhongduyi!

Although in Zigong's first impression, the gentleman of the Zhao family was a benevolent and virtuous person who loved the people, he didn't expect that the tax rate would be set so low, and where did the township temple get it from?

You must know that the ancient holy king praised by the master is nothing more than a tax of eleven, and now some public land in Lu is even half a tax! Moreover, the monarch and the three huans are still insufficient, and additional Qiujia, Qiufu, and labor are added.

As a result, the people could not bear the suffering, abandoned the land one after another, went to the mountains and deep forests, and became robbers.

Especially at the junction of the Song, Shandong, and Wei Kingdoms, there were thieves who gathered thousands of landless commoners, rampant in the countryside, and plundered the cities.

On the other hand, in Chengxiang, the people were willing to work hard, whether they were cultivating public or private fields, and the soldiers would even take off their armor and swords to help the people work.

According to Yu Xi's description, they were trustworthy to each other and got along harmoniously. The old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the lonely, widowed, and sick people are all supported in the township temple, so that they can do something within their ability.

The phenomenon of robbing and stealing and causing chaos and harming people has disappeared, and many portals only need to be brought from the outside without being locked.

According to the master, this is not just a well-off, but close to the rule of Datong!

Zigong was in a trance, what the master had not done now was actually realized in this remote township first?

No, no! He shook his head violently again, this cannot be equated, the governance of a thousand rooms is ten times more difficult than that of a hundred households. Moreover, as long as there is the assistance of his disciples, the Master will definitely be able to achieve universal harmony in the future!

What the Master lacks is just the appreciation and reuse of a great master.

Zigong stabilized his mind, continued to move forward, and after entering the interior of Chengyi, he pulled the goods to the treasury. He met with Ji Zhiqiao, who was in charge of the operation of Chengxiang, and the two bowed to each other, and then went on official business to deliver seeds and seedlings such as Rongshu and winter onions.

Later, Zigong proposed that he wanted to visit Zhao Wuxian.

So, Yu Xi led him into the village temple. However, seeing that the township temple and Zhao Wuxian's residence here are not under construction, but look old and in disrepair, the thrift of the owner of the Lingyi can be seen.

Zigong sighed with emotion, respectable, the Zhao gentleman is only fourteen years old, but he can deal with public affairs and forget selfishness, and he will be a master in the future.

After observing it, he felt that this place was more and more in line with the royal paradise that Confucius masters and apprentices yearned for, and he couldn't wait to sell Confucius's benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and happiness to Zhao Wuxian.

Just thinking about it, he had just stepped into the second door of the township temple, and before he saw him, he heard his voice first.

The sunny voice of the Zhao gentleman came out from afar:

"There are friends from afar, don't you say! Zigong, Yu Ke is ascending every day, his eyes are piercing, just waiting for you to return! ”
