Nanzhou is indeed not a very good place, but its barrenness has made it an unpainted canvas in Mo Chuchen's eyes.

No matter what he tossed, it would never cause unexpected trouble.

Taking advantage of the situation in Nanzhou, Mo Chuchen went farther and farther on the way to operating cultivation games.

From the beginning of running the Taishou Mansion, and then the whole people farming and making cotton clothes, no matter what he did with sufficient funds, no one else would oppose him.

Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, Mo Chuchen naturally became prosperous in Nanzhou, and by the way, Nanzhou's commerce and trade were developed.

There is a small country not far from Nanzhou, which is a weak and small vassal country, because of the remoteness of the place and the harsh environment, there are not many patrol troops on the border, and most people routinely go around the border.

Mo Chuchen sold cotton clothes and potatoes to xxx country, and in the name of trade, he drove many new merchants in Nanzhou, and that small country was very interested in magical potatoes and cotton, so he naturally did not hesitate to introduce their seeds at a high price in trade.

After Mo Chuchen finished tossing about food and cold resistance, he began to toss people to engage in greenhouse planting and glass houses, and publicized to the outside world that as long as it is done, even in the season of heavy snowfall, everyone can eat fresh vegetables.

Although most people in Nanzhou are skeptical of this statement, seeing that the wages paid by Taishou are really high, they naturally will not say anything bad about the scenery.

If the people who chew the root of their tongues behind their backs are too annoyed and ashamed to be angry and don't toss, won't they have no wages? .

Ordinary people only want to make money, and martial arts people are full of curiosity about Nanzhou, the Taishou, they have secretly infiltrated the Taishou Mansion countless times, and have been plotted by various weapons countless times, all kinds of evidence show that Nanzhou Taishou is a master of martial arts and proficient in various weapons.

In particular, the appearance of the crossbow, its simple operation and dangerous lethality have refreshed everyone's perception of weapons.

"It's a pity that your mother doesn't seem to be happy to come to Nanzhou."

In the study, Mo Chuchen looked at the letter from Wei Lin in his hand, which briefly explained the situation in Quancheng, and also explained a few words about the matter of competing for the famous brand, because of the decision of Father-in-law Nian, in the end, the matter of the famous brand staying in the old mansion of the Wei family was over.

Wei Peng was so anxious about this matter that he had a minor illness.

During this period, Wei Ran took over the family's business, because he was not tactful enough, short-sighted, and accumulated a lot of money-losing goods that were not needed.

"No way, I'm just a concubine." Wei Ce didn't force it, his mother's character is rare to be bold once in her life.

Just as Wei Ce was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside the door and hurriedly disappeared in place.

"Master XX county magistrate asks to see you."

The thin butler spoke softly at the door.

He was a down-and-out scholar that Mo Chuchen had found from the local area.

Don't have a surname, everyone calls him Don't be a housekeeper. 、

Although the don't housekeeper looks seventy or eighty, he is actually only in his twenties.

When Mo Chuchen came to Nanzhou, his so-called Taishou Mansion was really dilapidated as Mo Chuchen's manor in Jiangnan Quancheng, and there were not one or two family members or anything.

In addition to the local aborigines, few people can be assigned here for a long time, and most of them can't stand it after living for a month or two, so they return to their hometowns and find channels to run away.

In order to keep the residence from being too deserted, Mo Chuchen spent a lot of money to buy slaves and hired a few local scholars to serve as housekeepers and other civil servants.

Don't take care of the housekeeper at that time by Mo Chuchen to Taishou Mansion.

In Nanzhou, it is really difficult to find scholars, and the atmosphere here is very heavy, and it is basically difficult for weak scholars to survive the cold winter and bad environment.

The scholar Mo Chuchen can find is the highest-level talent, and he still practices martial arts at home, and by the way, he takes the test to brush up on his achievements.

"Master, there are a lot of county orders here today." The butler whispered, "I told them all to wait in the hall." ”

The infrastructure of Nanzhou is not as good as that of other states, and Mo Chuchen's Taishou Mansion does not have too many rules, and if someone asks to see him, he will always wait in the hall.

……。

When Mo Chuchen arrived in the hall, he happened to see five or six county commanders sitting in the hall, discussing fiercely.

Most of these magistrates are young faces, who have been placed here because they have made mistakes or offended their superiors.

At first, they were also in a state of eating and waiting for death.

After all, there are few people here who listen to them, and those who are well-behaved here will not listen, plus the court does not pay attention to it, and there is no direction to work hard.

Now it's different.

The newcomer Taishou used the prospect of being fed and clothed to win over many aboriginal tribes, and used his crossbow to shock the flying martial arts people.

Nanzhou has finally changed a little bit from a barren land.

"What are you arguing about early in the morning?"

Mo Chuchen sat on the main seat, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, and the whole person was weak and loose.

These young magistrates were stronger and more rugged than him.

At first, they thought that this boss, who looked like a scholar, would run away with his burden.

didn't expect that after more than a year, the scholars were still polite, but Nanzhou was no longer the Nanzhou of the past.

"Taishou, we don't have to quarrel."

The county magistrate with a small goatee on his face pointed at a colleague with a dark face next to him and angrily reprimanded:

"Lord Xie is really excessive, seeing that the weather is about to enter autumn, the lower officials want to make cotton clothes from the cotton harvested in previous years and give it to the people in the county at a low price.

This Lord Xie is good, he robbed our cotton and sent it directly to the border army. ”

"Master Li, how do you speak? This cotton is not grown by your county, and the border soldiers protect their families and defend the country, so they can't wear reeds that are not too warm to survive the winter. ”

Xie County's words were righteous, and he blamed: "Not to mention cotton, your county was the first to open trade with xxx country, and the people don't have to worry about food and clothing, so they are embarrassed to care about that bit of cotton." ”

"Okay, Lord Xie, Lord Xu, you are all small things, just coordinate it yourself, and our county will have a big problem."

A black high county magistrate with a large beard stood up, his face was three-dimensional, and he looked different from most people, this was the county magistrate of the local tribe and aborigines.

"My lord, the rules of previous years were that any family that paid more than ten cents in taxes to the imperial court could get three catties of grain.

Now I see that the lives of people in other counties are getting better and better.

It was cotton clothes and cotton pants, and I heard that there was a charcoal fire in winter.

Many tribes are starting to pay no taxes.

Unless they are given cotton clothes and potatoes. ”

This so-called rule is the thing used in the court to brush up on the sense of existence.

In previous years, Nanzhou was rotten, and the imperial court saw that it couldn't collect taxes anyway, so it made a small favor to win people's hearts.

Who knows, this has fed the appetite of many tribes.

If there are not enough things, they will absolutely ignore the imperial court, anyway, Nanzhou is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so you can run as you like

"Did they participate in farming, or did they build weapons or glass?"

Mo Chuchen didn't get angry when he heard this, but just asked calmly:

"Only those who participate in these can have subsidies, Ni Daren, which one you see?"

"I don't think any of them fit."

The order of Ni County is too familiar with the place under his jurisdiction.

Those who make trouble, which one is not vainly trying to pay ten yuan to get better.

They won't go down the mountain easily, so naturally they won't sign up for those activities in Southern State.

"That's fine, if you like to take it or not, Nanzhou's taxes are not worse than their ten cents."

Mo Chuchen said that there is still a sense of disgust here, vainly trying to get something for nothing and being so justifiable, what's wrong? .

“……。”

Nixian Ling didn't want to persuade anything, just sat silently next to him and tasted tea.

The changes in Nanzhou are also obvious to all.

As far as those in his jurisdiction are concerned, they have no other ability, and the ability to sit back and enjoy their achievements is explosive.

It's just that I really don't care about it, I'm afraid I'm going to make trouble.

Ni Xianling's eyes were shining, he didn't want to get involved in it, otherwise he would be really difficult to do.

"By the way, a few months ago, didn't Taishou have people transport fertilizer and potato seeds, as well as seventy or eighty piglets, for Ni-sama to share with other people to raise? Why is there still a lot of trouble? ”

In the end, Master Xie was too upright, and asked mercilessly: "Is Lord Ni greedy for ink?" ”

"Nonsense."

Nixian Ling, who had just drunk a cup of tea, almost choked when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted, his face blue with anger.

"If not, where is the thing Taishou gave?"

Everyone stared blankly at the Ni County Order.

"It's not eating yet."

Nixian Ling felt that such a thing was really shameless.

But everyone saw it, and he had to explain: "If I distribute it, they will eat it in three days, and the fertilizer will be thrown into the ground." ”

“……。”

Everyone didn't expect things to be like this, Taishou gave each county a certain share of the order, and now many counties live a good life with the seeds and piglets at the beginning.

Even the county seat of Xu County Order was directly famous for its abundance of cotton and went to the small country next door.

They didn't expect that someone would do such a self-defeating thing.

"In this case, Lord Ni doesn't have to go to planting, let's go forging, iron-striking is always a thing that people in Nanzhou will do, but there is a food subsidy for participating in iron-making for four hours a day.

Otherwise, they will fend for themselves. ”

Some people agreed with Mo Chuchen's words, while others completely felt that it was the beginning of the disaster.

Whether they agree with it or not, Nanzhou is a place where the emperor is far away, and Taishou is their only boss, and they can only look at Taishou's face when they say or do anything.

After dealing with the matter, Mo Chuchen nested in the Taishou Mansion to write prescriptions.

These prescriptions are all prescriptions for treating common diseases, and there are some nutritional formulas and the like, and there are hundreds of them.

Mo Chuchen made people gather some barefoot men in the market.

These Lang middle school knowledge is not as good as the serious medical hall, and most of them come out after learning some home remedies, because the fees are cheap, and they are very popular with ordinary people.

The purpose of gathering barefoot doctors was simply to disseminate the medical books that had been compiled into volumes.

I have been teaching them for two or three months, and even if I can't read a lot of words, I can recite the prescription to some extent.

If you can get a serious prescription, how can those doctors refuse?

Naturally, they happily agreed, after all, it is a rare opportunity to provide food and shelter and education.

[So what do you do desperately?] 】

The small system watched the host farm as quickly as possible, not only in medicine, but also in addition to potatoes and a variety of vegetables.

One of these small systems simply didn't understand why the South State housing was being rebuilt.

To put it simply, many sturdy, large stone houses have been built in the large urban areas of Nanzhou, which are not for sale, only rented and sold, and are the preferred residence of many aborigines after descending the mountain.

"To deal with the coming calamity, of course."

After inspecting the progress of greenhouse farming, Mo Chuchen tasted the sweet and soft osmanthus cake in the sedan chair, and the sweet smell filled the narrow space of the entire carriage.

"What calamity?" The small system looked at the situation in Nanzhou and didn't feel anything bad at all, except for those aborigines who stubbornly hid in the deep mountains and old forests and refused to submit, everything went in a good direction.

"You'll find out in a while."

Mo Chuchen said, looking outside, the wind and sand outside were very strong, the half-meter-high weeds almost overgrown the entire ground, and the dilapidated city wall in the distance did not look solid.

Under the bright sun, puffs of cooking smoke rose straight up, and the people living outside the city began to cook.

Unfortunately, this calm did not last long.

When winter comes, the weather is falling day by day, and the snow comes earlier than usual, and it not only falls for a long time, but also very densely.

In just one night, many people's homes were covered by snow, and early risers had to pick up shovels and start shoveling snow.

But the young children, in the face of the snow, they got carried away.

The business of the clinic and the barefoot doctor is also booming, because there are so many people who fall down on this snowy day, and at the entrance of the clinic, people can even see many people with white cloths wrapped around their feet limping.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to the snow, but as the weather got colder and colder, the animals in the wild began to disappear, and the river was frozen so strong that it could not be split with an axe.

Food also fell into a state of shortage, and at this time, everyone remembered what kind of greenhouse cultivation Taishou had done before.

After determining that the food source was stable, the prefectural ordinances in various places encountered different problems one after another.

The people in the county town have cotton clothes and charcoal to spend the winter, but the aborigines of the tribe do not! This winter is getting colder and colder, and those who hide in the mountains and refuse to come out eventually have to come out for their livelihoods.

As soon as these people came out, they did things, and in the end they were thrown into stone houses that were built to rent and sell, and only those who registered their identity information could be released.

This motivation lasted for a long time, and in April of the following year, it was supposed to be the season of spring flowers, but it was still snowing, and even though all parts of Nanzhou were prepared, many people were still carried away by the cold every day.

Mo Chuchen didn't let the corpses be thrown into the graves, but they built fire platforms in every place and burned all the corpses.

It's May, and the snow is finally gone, but the chill is even worse.

One after another, many refugees came to Nanzhou, saying that because of the cold, many places broke their families and died for a bite to eat, and even plagues broke out in some places, and no one in a city was spared.
