Chapter Eighty-Nine: Xinhui (Grand Chapter)

Liu Yuze, who had been in Qianjiatong for a few days, embarked on the journey again, but there was an extra beauty to accompany him on the way. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A few days later, I finally arrived at Xinhui.

The county magistrate of Xinhui County warmly greeted Liu Yuze and his party, and it was lunch, Liu Yuze's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and he didn't give the county magistrate politeness, and sat directly on the county magistrate's table.

"Yo, Du Xian Ling's food is good, and there are fish to eat...... Liu Yuze quipped.

Du Ruze smiled bitterly: "Lord Liu, you think it's good to eat a meal, if you eat this every meal for several years, do you still think it's good?" ”

Liu Yuze said strangely: "This is a river fish, right?" What do the prefectural lords eat in winter? ”

"Dried anchovy ......"

"Okay!" Liu Yuze wiped the sweat from his head, he didn't care about the future, he wouldn't stay in this place for several years, and it felt quite tender to eat two meals of river fish once in a while......

After dinner, Du Ruze accompanied Liu Yuze to inspect the situation of Xinhui.

"Du County Order, our Xinhui also has a beautiful environment and a pleasant climate, but this land is too humid and not suitable for growing vegetables......

Hearing the word vegetables, Du Ruze swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Liu, since I came to this new meeting, I haven't seen vegetables again...... If it weren't for the Chen case back then, I wouldn't have been relegated to such a far place...... Lord Liu, more than 80 percent of all the officials in Lingnan have been demoted, first to Gangzhou, then to Panyu (Guangzhou), and then to Leizhou (Hainan Island), I think, if they are degraded again, they will have to jump into the sea......

Liu Yuze's heart moved when he heard this, and said, "Lord Du, you were all Beijing officials before? ”

"Jingguan?"

"Oh, you were all officials in Chang'an before?"

"Which of us didn't take the Jinshi exam first, and become a Shangguan step by step with his own ability? How could those officials who were attached to the wealthy be relegated to such a far place? The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, to put it mildly, then Feng An's words are better than the emperor's orders...... But Feng Ang is still a person, he can't go out all day, busy spending the moon and the moon, and we officials are not too embarrassed......"

"Where is Feng An's mansion? I'm going to visit him this time, and the emperor has something to say to him......"

"Feng Ang's mansion has gone more, but my lord is here just in time, Feng Ang is in Xinhui now, he just held a wedding banquet here a few days ago......"

"What kind of wedding banquet is Feng Ang organizing?"

"Feng Ang doesn't have any other hobbies, just this...... Uh, anyway, he married another concubine, and this concubine is from our Xinhui, so Feng Ang has been ...... in Xinhui for the past few days."

"Feng Andu already has more than a dozen sons, and he is still not satisfied?"

"Who did Lord Liu listen to? Feng Ang now has twenty-two sons, which are more than a dozen ......"

"Nima ......" Liu Yuze was speechless, this Feng Ang is simply a seeding machine, he really gave him a woman, and it is estimated that he can really create a nation......

"Look, my lord, in addition to fishing, our new club is to grow rice, but this land is obviously not suitable for the growth of rice, and the yield per mu is very small, fortunately, it can be planted for three or four seasons a year, and the people are not hungry, and in general, the people's lives are relatively comfortable......

"Lord Du, let's do it, you notify all the county orders, and I'll tell you my thoughts, transformation, you can't change them one by one, it's too slow...... In addition, Master Du should not worry too much, it will not be long before our cement official road will be repaired to Lingnan, and when the time comes, the fish and rice from Lingnan can be sold to Chang'an, and the silk and vegetables of Chang'an can also be sold here......"

"My lord, build roads? How does that road pass through the Land of the Five Ridges? ”

"Dig a tunnel...... Don't worry about this adult, I have an ordnance research institute in Datang, and I have recently developed a secret weapon, and I think it can be used with the help of this weapon...... Okay, Lord Du, you should notify the major county orders first, I will go to visit Feng Ang, learn from him, ah no, explain the emperor's instructions to him......"

――――

"It turned out that the emperor sent Lord Liu to develop Lingnan, fortunately!!" Feng Ang was very enthusiastic.

"Lord Feng is really majestic, the Seven Arrows defeated the cave officials, I admire it very much!"

"I've also heard a little about the Battle of Lingzhou, and Lord Liu seems to know a lot about military affairs! I don't know what Lord Liu is doing in my house this time? ”

"I came to the emperor to have something for me to explain to you, the geographical location of our Lingnan is special, the Han nationality and other ethnic groups live together, and there are many small countries in the south of Lingnan, Feng Ang has a high position and power, and it is also the heaviest weight in Lingnan, I came to develop Lingnan, on the one hand, I want to ask for your consent, on the other hand, the emperor also told you to pay attention to the Nanzhao Kingdom......"

"Nanzhaoguo? Aren't they recruited by my Datang? Is it impossible to rebel? Don't pay attention, Lao Tzu directly sent troops to destroy the country......"

"Lord Feng, this is what the emperor meant, it's easy to fight a Nanzhao, but it doesn't have any disrespect to my Tang Dynasty now, let's destroy it by force, what do other countries that have been recruited think? There are countless small countries on our borders that are attached to our Datang, and if we resist together, it will be a worrying matter......"

"I'm just talking, there's still a good spring waiting for me to have fun, so I won't be idle and take the initiative to find trouble...... Isn't it just a matter of paying attention, this is a simple ......?"

"By the way, because Lord Feng sent troops to defeat the cave bureaucrats, the emperor wanted to reward the adults with something, but after thinking about it, he felt that Lord Feng really lacked something, so he sent your son to you......"

"What? Is my son back? Feng Ang was excited when he heard it, his son was called a rebellion back then, and he sent his son to Chang'an as a hostage in order to reassure the emperor, and now the emperor sent his son back, showing that the emperor still trusts him!! Besides, this is his most proud son, who is gentle and elegant, and extremely smart, Feng Ang intends to make him his successor......

"Yes. I set off in Chang'an when I came, and since your son still brought some things, it should be that the road is not fast, but it must not be long before you are reunited......"

"Oops! This is great news!! By the way, Lord Liu, stay here for dinner at night!! I have a lot of fresh and tender seafood here, Lord Liu must try it! Although it is a bit difficult to eat vegetables in this place, it is relatively easy to get some seafood with my skills......"

"It's okay, it's okay, the seafood is good, the seafood is good, I don't like to eat vegetables......" Liu Yuze's eyes lit up.

――――

A few days later, nearly half of the county orders in Lingnan had come, and the rest were too far away to come...... Liu Yuze asked each of the county magistrates who had already arrived to make a phone call to the county magistrates who had not arrived, so that the phone would remain answered, so that all the county magistrates could know the content of the meeting.

"Our Lingnan land has always been the land of fish and rice, and the living conditions of the people are relatively comfortable, but because we are separated from the Central Plains by Wuling, our connection with the central government is not close enough, and we are gradually lagging behind the development of the Central Plains...... Entrusted by the emperor, after a series of investigations, let's discuss the development of Lingnan...... Everyone used to be officials in the Central Plains, and they have also experienced the prosperity of the Central Plains, so I won't describe it much, our goal is to make Lingnan a more prosperous place than the Central Plains......"

As soon as Liu Yuze's words came out, the county commanders were shocked: "Lord Liu, you said that you will make this backward Lingnan a more prosperous place than Chang'an?" This...... How is this possible! ”

"Nothing is impossible!! Although Chang'an is located in the Central Plains, but the climate is not as good as here, there is dry all the year round, three days and two ends of the drought, the geographical location is not as good as here, here I see that there are rivers and seas, this kind of geography is not suitable for economic development? ”

"But we don't have the money to develop......"

"This is not in a hurry, I have been with the chamber of commerce in Chang'an (proposed by Liu Yuze, Chang'an established a chamber of commerce organization a few years ago, by Zhou Yuan as the president, Liu Yuan as the vice president, Liu Yuze as the honorary president, anyone who enters the mobile phone mall, must join the chamber of commerce...... Discuss properly, I'm just going first, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce will come to inspect the investment, don't worry about the money, what we have to do is to leave the money of these businessmen in this place......"

"Let's not discuss this issue first, let's discuss the ethnic issue first, there are many ethnic minorities in Lingnan, they all have their own customs and beliefs, a few **** took a look at our county records and laws, and found a big problem, our officials seem to be very discriminatory against these ethnic minorities, I see that the verdict of many cases is obviously reasonable, and you still judge the Han people to win, which is very inappropriate......

"Barbarians are backward in their thinking...... (no pull, no pull) ...... We are all Han Chinese, do we still want to go outward? ”

"This kind of thinking is very wrong, we are officials, we are officials of the Tang Dynasty, not officials of the Han people, these ethnic minorities are also the people of the Tang Dynasty, why can't you treat them equally? A few days ago, I went to see the living conditions of various tribes, and they live in poverty, and the gap between them and our Han people is too big, so it can't be done! Now I would like to talk about the first order, that is, after all counties go back, they will do a good job in poverty alleviation work for all ethnic minorities, and this work will be included in the performance appraisal at the end of the year......

"My lord, this is not fair~!" Some officials protested.

"There are so many unfair things, you bite me? Do you still remember the emperor's words? Lingnan listens to me for all things about reform, what can you do with me? ”

"You!!" The official's face was red, and he couldn't refute it.

"Okay, I just took a look at our local laws and found that there are a lot of unreasonable places, the first one is that Han people and barbarians are not allowed to marry, what kind of strange regulations are this? A few days ago, I saw a case in Xinhui, there was a wingman brother who fell in love with our Han sister, but you sentenced this wingman to a cane sentence and threw him in prison, isn't this nonsense? ”

"My lord, this is all according to the law...... Du Ruze quickly explained.

"I don't blame you, Du County Ling did a good job in Xinhui, the first few **** visited the people's homes, everyone praised you, which shows that your work is still very good, but I went to visit the village, people simply sneered at you, how did this situation come about? If our laws are not suitable, we must change them, so let's first remove this clause prohibiting intermarriage......"

"My lord, their barbarians don't have the same heart as us Han people at all! Each of them has its own chief, and they only listen to the patriarch and don't take us seriously at all......"

"It's no wonder that you have done these things that they take you seriously! Why do Han people pay taxes for half a stone, and they pay taxes for one stone? ”

"The ...... of the Law"

"Don't mention this to me! From now on, the Han people pay taxes of half a stone, and they are exempt from tax......"

"What!! How does this work!! The Han people will protest, so there is no way to manage it!! ”

"What can be done about this? We need to appease these tribes and show them our sincerity! Everyone is of the same root, and the tax exemption is even a compensation for your unfair handling of their case, and you must say it yourself, and you must let the patriarchs feel your sincerity...... In addition, when we go, we bring our seeds and medical books, these things are not necessary to be guarded against, what is the family to prevent? You see that they have a minor illness because there is no cure but to wait for death, can you live in your heart? Conscience?! ”

"Next, after everyone goes back, we will build a wharf by the river, and those next to the sea will also build a wharf by the sea, we have unique conditions here, and it is a pity not to make good use of it! You must know that the worthless river fish here can be sold for 100 wen in Chang'an, and the seafood caught in the sea here can even be sold for several dollars in Chang'an! And the vegetables that you can't eat here at all can be bought in Chang'an for ten cents...... You don't want to think of a way, you can't go by land, you can take the water......"

"We are officials, like business...... (no pull, no pull) ...... Isn't that detrimental to the identity of the reader? ”

"Forget it, I won't tell you this, you see that you are all yellow and thin because of the lack of vegetables, and you are still here as a scholar...... Forget it, our values are not in harmony, let's not argue about this, you just do what I say, build a dock, and wait for the people from the Chamber of Commerce to come over to build a ship here, let's go to Shandong by water, and then take the land route to Chang'an in Shandong...... After two years of land repair from Chang'an to Lingnan, we will go hand in hand by land and water...... At that time, this will be a prosperous land even more prosperous than Chang'an, and every inch of land and money will not be a fool's dream......"

"In addition, Panyu is the best place in all Lingnan places, and we want to set up a special economic zone in Panyu......"

"Special Economic Zone? What is it? ”

"You don't have to worry about this for now, I still have to report this matter to the emperor, I don't dare to call the shots...... Panyu is changing it like other regions now, and let's talk about it when the policy changes in the future......"

"Economic transformation at the same time can not delay the production of agriculture, I see that the geographical situation of our Xinhui planting rice is really not suitable, the yield per mu is low, I have a seed here, called palmetto, Du County ordered you to try to see first, these seeds can occupy half of your land, you first see how the effect of planting is, this palmetto is not used to eat, its young leaves can be made of sunflower fans, old leaves can be made of lily clothes, etc., the ribs of the leaf lobes can be made of toothpicks...... In addition, the seeds it produces have the effects of sepsis and disease resistance, destasis and hemostasis...... It can be said that the whole body is a treasure, in addition, this palmetto likes the warm and humid climate, but also waterlogging, just suitable for you to plant here, the method of palmetto breeding and cultivation technology I will inform you...... In addition, other counties can also be observed, and those that are suitable can also be introduced for planting, and these things can be sold all over the country in the future, which can create a lot of income for our farmers, which is much stronger than planting rice...... But it is necessary to talk about gradual progress, and the palmetto must be planted, and the grain must also be planted......"
