Chapter Eighty-Eight: Tang Yin's Magic

A few days later, Tang Yin came here. Looking at the mess left by Zhu Houhuang, Zhu Houhuang's construction record has been made. looked at Zhu Houhuang silently for a long time.

Zhu Houhuang looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Mr. Tang, is there anything wrong with being lonely?" ”

Tang Yin said: "Your Highness, Zi said: 'For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place and all the stars are together. 'What's the explanation?' ”

Zhu Houhuang still understood this sentence, and immediately said: "Governing the country with moral principles is like the North Star in a certain position, and all the stars will surround it." ”

Tang Yin frowned, forcibly didn't take out the ring ruler, knocked Zhu Houhuang, and said, "What is Beichen, Emperor Xingye." What are the stars, left and right, three walls and twenty-eight stars. Although Yongguo is small, His Royal Highness is also the lord of a country, so he only needs to appoint meritocracy, so why do it himself? In fact, Tang Yin still had a passage that he forcibly endured and did not come out, that is; If you can do it well, you can do it well.

Zhu Houhuang listened to Tang Yin's words, which means, you don't have this itself, just let someone with the ability come, you just eat here and wait for death.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't hold his face a little, and stretched out his hand, just about to say something. Tang Yin had already bowed and said, "The next one is handed over to the minister." It is to ask His Highness the vassals to make a long history. ”

The ancients did things most and paid the most attention to the righteousness, so Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to add the title of King Yong's long history to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin took office, Zhu Houhuang immediately felt that there was a big change, first of all, the city wall built by Zhu Houhuang Dali was immediately stopped. The reason is that the city walls are not needed at all now. Because compared with those natives, Zhu Houhuang's sailors were too powerful, and there was no need for a city wall at all, only a few big ships in Taiwan could divide the traffic between the two sides of the strait. Even if the city walls are to be built, it should not be now, there are priorities.

Zhu Houhuang had to accept being slapped in the face.

Tang Yin was noncommittal about Zhu Houhuang's reason for building a kun body first, Zhu Houhuang felt that he wanted to oppose it, but he just estimated his face and did not say it explicitly. Because Tang Yin almost completely stopped the construction of Yikun, leaving only a few people to cultivate the land on Yikun, and some people began to boil salt, and the rest of the people went to Dongyong Island opposite.

Adhering to the principle that if the name is not right, it is not good, Zhu Houhuang's recent work is to give every place a sacred name. For example, the unfinished city of Yikun is called Taiwan. The newly built wooden village on Dongyong Island is called Anping City.

Although this Anping City is said to be a city, it is just a wooden village.

Tang Yin had no intention of building a city with the method of building a barracks, but directly used the method of building a military camp to enclose a large piece of land and immediately began to reclaim the wasteland.

In this method of building a barracks, trees were charred and nailed side by side to the ground, and a wooden wall was not far behind, and a trunk slightly shorter than the wooden wall was nailed. A wooden plank was nailed between the two, and it became the outer wall of the stockade, where people could live under the planks and people patrolled on top. Such a simple building first settles people down. Tang Yin's main energy was all on spring ploughing.

In fact, it was a little late in terms of time.

When Zhu Houhuang left Beijing, he had not yet come out of the first lunar month, but when he walked all the way and walked to Fujian, it was already February, and he had been waiting for the holy decree in Fuzhou for such a long time. Coupled with the time Zhu Houhuang wasted in the early stage, it is now more than March, and it is just to replant some easy-to-mature rice.

Tang Yin often sighed: "Hey, it would be nice if that kid from the Huang family was here." ”

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Who is this Mr. Huang?" ”

Tang Yin said: "This Huang boy is called Huang Xingzeng. It's my fellow countryman, I don't like the imperial examination, I'm quite proficient in miscellaneous studies, I especially like flowers and plants, and I'm accomplished in agriculture, in my hometown, I'm often called a yellow idiot, others are obsessed with beauty fame, but he is obsessed with flowers and plants, likes to do things in the field, isn't it an idiot? But with his attainments in agronomy. Only if he comes, the matter of farming can be handed over to him. ”

Zhu Houhuang could hear that Tang Yin was beating around the bush and recommending talents to himself.

Zhu Houhuang didn't dare to reject Tang Yin like he rejected Yang Shen, he deeply understood one thing, the entire Ming Dynasty was a Confucian world. It's not the Zhu family. No matter what big things are done, most of them will fail without the participation of literate people. In the Ming Dynasty, anyone who knew a few words rarely did not claim to be a descendant of Confucius and Mencius. It is simply impossible for Zhu Houhuang to set aside the Confucian disciples and open another faction.

Before Tang Yin came, after Tang Yin came, Zhu Houhuang deeply understood one thing, even if he was a traverser, it was just that one thing. Let him manage thousands of people at once, and he will make a mess, if it is really as he thinks, it is impossible to build Dongyong into a big country in Haidong, without the help of Confucianism.

Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to give in, write a letter honestly, and send someone to the Huang family in Wu County. Let's see if we can make this great talent use it for yourself.

After Tang Yin took charge of affairs, Zhu Houhuang was much more idle, and the tulou plan began to be implemented. The Wang family built the first Tujia building not far from the east of Dayuan. And outside the Tujia Building, open up wasteland.

Clearing the land is actually a very hard thing. After Zhu Houhuang experienced it himself, he had to admit that he thought about these things too simply.

Tang Yin wanted to cut a firewall out of the forest, and then set the forest on fire. At this time, guarding the edge of the forest, there will be many wild beasts running out and becoming their meal. Of course, burning the wasteland is still the first step, and after burning the wasteland, you have to face the intertwined roots, and the roots cannot be burned. It is necessary to cut it out with a machete, dig a large pit several times the diameter of the tree, and run out of the roots.

Just listening to this thing, you can know what a huge amount of work, there are no other automatic tools, all rely on your hands.

And you think you're done with the roots gouging out, rest assured, this is just the beginning. The rest is to level the land. The construction of water canals, of course, is something that many small households do not do, because the cost of doing so is too great, whether it is leveling the land or diverting water, it requires a lot of manpower. Generally government actions.

When you see the endless production area on the Great Plains of China, you should understand what it means to have a land of size by the ancestors of the Frost Dew, cutting down the thorns. If you think that such a naturally flat terrain is formed by itself, then you are very wrong, even the great plains, there are ups and downs, and now there is no end in sight. The neat crops and fields that seem to be like a military parade are the results of large-scale farmland and water conservancy construction that have been reclaimed by the ancestors of previous dynasties and operated from generation to generation, especially during the Taizu period of this dynasty.

Far from it.

Speaking of Dongyong's reclamation.

Dongyong, also known as Taiwan, does not have a large river, but there are many streams that flow into the sea from east to west. This brings great benefits to farmland construction. The water source is abundant, the terrain is flat, and the Tainan area is also Taiwan's grain producing area until now. As long as the area around Tainan can be reclaimed in the future, Zhu Houhuang will not have to worry about the problem of food supply.

Just when Zhu Houhuang was imagining the future, Wu Xingzhi couldn't sit still in Penghu and came to Dayuan to find Zhu Houhuang.

"What, I don't have any money?" Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but be taken aback, and even forgot the self-title of Lone, who had been paying attention to it.

"Your Highness is not nothing, it's just that the money is spent too fast, I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, Dongyong hasn't been able to support himself, and His Highness's money will be spent first." Wu Xingzhi said.

Zhu Houhuang grabbed the bill and immediately turned to the last page, Zhu Houhuang found that his silver had fallen below the 100,000 taels mark, and he now only had more than 90,000 taels left.

"How can you spend money so quickly?" Zhu Houhuang rubbed his head and asked.

Wu Xingzhi said: "It's not that His Highness spends too much money. "Although Wu Xingzhi is in Penghu, it's not that he doesn't know anything, on the contrary, he is a very competent secretary of the household department, anyway, anything given to Dongyong needs to be done in Penghu, he has records everywhere, and there is no mistake at all.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but open the bill and look at it carefully. In the end, I have to admit that what I said in the head of the household is right.
