0097 Imperial power goes to the countryside
"That's why I'm scrambling them and regrouping them instead of letting them live together according to their original tribe."
Xiao Baishan said confidently: "Because of the last war, there was a grudge between the three major slang tribes, and the mutual hatred was very serious. ”
"Let them live together in cross-sections, so that they can watch each other, and no one dares to escape."
"Everyone has friends and family, and slang people are no exception. He can run on his own, but now that his relatives and friends live in another village, what if he runs his relatives and friends? ”
"By the time they get rid of their captives and move freely in the future, they will be used to life now."
"There are houses, fields, and food here, and the lord loves the people like a son and treats them equally."
"Slang people are also human beings, and they will not abandon their current stable life and go into the deep mountains and old forests to live a precarious life of hiding in Tibet."
"Papapa......" Wen Yi couldn't help but applaud: "Good, good, very good, even better than I imagined." ”
Four in a row, you can see how shocked he is. Xiao Baishan's series of methods, to be honest, are easy to be ashamed of.
An irrepressible smile appeared on Xiao Baishan's face: "I learned it from the stories told by the lord, and my subordinates didn't dare to take credit." ”
Wen Yi said: "There are many people who listen to my stories, and there are very few who can learn from them and use them flexibly, you ...... Very good. ”
Xiao Baishan said: "Thank you for your praise, I don't know if there is a plan under my subordinates. ”
Wen Yi suddenly became interested and said, "Oh, what plan?" ”
Xiao Baishan said: "You once said that the imperial power of the Central Plains Dynasty was not lower than that of the county, and the actual control below the county level was in the hands of the local tyrants and gentry......
"If you want to change this, you have to do it in many ways, but the most important thing is two things."
"First, townships were set up below the county level, and officials were directly appointed by the imperial court to manage the localities, and the powerful gentry seized the right to administer; The second is to promote the academic and political system, so that the people can read and open up the people's wisdom. ”
"I plan to set up a township under Jin'an County, and at the same time establish a school administration system to train more scholars, but I don't know if it's appropriate."
He did mention this question once but didn't elaborate on it, Wen Yi didn't expect him to remember, and thought about it:
"It's okay to set up a township, and it's just the right opportunity to train more administrative talents for us. But let's put the academic administration system on hold. ”
Xiao Baishan was puzzled and said: "Why, but because there are not enough gentlemen?" ”
Wen Yi shook his head and said, "Have you ever thought about what to teach those students?" ”
Xiao Baishan was puzzled at first, but soon came to his senses: "Thank you for your advice, I understand." ”
Wen Yi said: "It's good to understand, just do what you think." ”
When he left, Xue Dayuan said with emotion: "I always thought that I thought I had a high opinion of him, but I didn't expect him to be better than I thought." ”
Wen Yi also praised: "Me too, it's really a surprise, why worry if you can have a few more such talents...... It can't be done. ”
Xiao Baishan was allowed to start the third reform measure, and considering the actual situation in Jin'an County, he divided four townships below.
The only places that these four townships really manage are the villages that are dozens of miles around the county seat, and the farther places belong to the barren mountains or the territory of pure slang, and it is unrealistic to want to manage them.
Most of the officials of the township yamen were selected from Langhu.
In the past few months, the literacy has allowed most Langhu people to know some commonly used words, and the best ones can already read and write normally.
In order to ensure the safety of the township yamen and avoid being attacked by bandits, two platoons of soldiers were stationed in each township.
However, the garrison was only a temporary measure, and the township yamen had to recruit young men from the local government as militiamen. When he is busy farming, he comes to train in his spare time, and takes turns patrolling to protect the territory and the people.
The establishment of the township yamen has indeed greatly strengthened the county government's control over the locality, and at the same time reduced the workload of the county government.
His series of actions also completely convinced everyone in the Yamen of Jin'an County, and no one dared to despise him because of his age.
Wen Yi stayed here for more than a month, and after confirming that the displaced people had been properly settled, Xiao Baishan was ready to return to Langhu after he had completely controlled the situation in Jin'an County.
On the eve of his departure, He Fang brought him good news, which made him delay his trip again.
"You said you discovered Yizhou Island?" Wen Yi said in surprise.
He Fang also said happily: "Yes, we have been trying to find it in the direction you said, but the sea is too windy and the wind is headwind, and we have never succeeded." ”
"A few days ago, taking advantage of the light wind and waves, we sailed eastward for more than five hours and saw a big island, but I am not sure that it is not Yizhou Island."
Wen Yi said with great certainty: "According to the direction and distance, it is no different from Yizhou Island, have you boarded it?" ”
He Fang shook his head and said, "When we arrived, it was late and there was a strong wind and waves, and I was afraid that we wouldn't get too close to the reef when we encountered it. ”
Even though Wen Yi was very anxious, he also praised his steadiness: "You have done a good job, the more times like this, the more you have to calm down, the lives of your brothers are more important than anything else." ”
"But we have to find safe roads and build docks by May."
In May, they were familiar with the roads and sent people to inspect the terrain, and then the immigrants reclaimed the land, and by June and July, it was just enough for summer ploughing.
He Fang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that Wen Yi would be in a hurry and forcibly order him to go to sea, it would be too dangerous. There are still more than two months to go in May, and there is plenty of time.
The point is that in April, the wind direction will change to the southwest, and the wind and waves will become smaller, and that is the best time to explore Yizhou Island.
With this good news, Wen Yi was not in a hurry to go back, and first went to the Sailor Camp to visit and commend everyone, and gave rewards to everyone.
Then I went to the shipyard and looked around the situation here, which can only be said to be very gratifying.
Because the regime gradually stabilized, Wenyi adopted a more relaxed policy, and Jin'an County had a siphon effect on the surrounding area.
There are more and more people who take the initiative to take refuge, many of them are people with a skill, especially those who know how to build ships.
The shipyard was able to replenish a large number of shipbuilders and skilled workers, and the speed of shipbuilding was accelerated several times.
Now the situation in Jin'an County is no longer people waiting for ships, but boats waiting for people.
Wenyi is very aware of how much he needs ships in the future, and still lets the shipyard continue to build.
But at the same time, he ordered them to study the construction of larger, stronger, and faster ships.
Just when Wen Yi visited the shipyard and imagined the future, a group of uninvited guests were also quietly observing him.
Somewhere outside Jin'an County, a group of people gathered here, and several of them were dressed as officials.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties was reporting his findings to a Taoist priest in his fifties wearing Taoist robes.
“…… This is the current situation in Jin'an County, which is completely different from what Sun Haoyin said, the sect is the main one, otherwise we should not go. ”
Everyone else was also worried about persuasion.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "Originally, I just wanted to come here to avoid the limelight, but I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing, how could I miss it." Let's go and meet the lord of Langhu. ”
