When there is a dispute between the official and the common people, people usually do not hesitate to decide that the government is wrong. Because the common people are a vulnerable group compared to the government, sympathizing with the weak is the basic way of thinking of the vast majority of people.

The ancients had a saying that if you listen to it, you will know it, which Sun Chengzong mentioned to Li Xiao several times. In one thing, for His Holiness, don't take a position lightly, because that represents the final decision. Once a mistake occurs, even if it is wrong, the officials below will work hard to carry it on for His Holiness. By the time you know that this matter is serious, it is often too late to regret it.

Of course, Taizu also said that without investigation and research, there is no right to speak.

Since the two political bigwigs have said things with similar meanings, Li Xiao decided to go to Xicheng to see if the place was a paradise or the bear-like thing in Wang Tong's mouth.

The onlookers automatically divided an alley, and Li Xiao walked through the eyes of the common people.

For the first time, Li Xiao found that he had adapted to the position of the big guy. Because he found that he had become accustomed to other people's attention, if so many people watched before, Li Xiao would be very nervous, and he didn't even know which leg to take first. I don't know where to put my hands, maybe that's why hairy male stars love to put their pockets, and female stars always have a small bag in their hands.

Strictly speaking, Jinzhou City is actually not big. The governor's yamen was also close to the west of the city, and under the guidance of Wang Tong and Wu Laohan, a group of people on foot soon came to the west of the city.

Seeing the scene in the west of the city, Li Xiao's first thought was a shantytown.

The ground is sparsely covered with wild grass, and the stinky ditch is filled with black-green sewage. I don't know whose chickens are taking a leisurely walk on the well platform, Li Xiao saw a hot chicken poop fall on the well platform.

There was a pile of garbage not far away, and there were obvious urine stains in the corners. At the root of the wall of Fang Shantou, there is still a lump of. Looking at the thickness of the sausage, Li Xiao thought that it was definitely not pulled by a dog.

Damn, it's so disgusting, I'll never eat sausages again.

It's still spring, and in summer it must be a sea of flies.

is such a place, in Wu Laohan's mouth, it is said to be a paradise. If Xanadu is really virtuous, it is estimated that Tao Yuanming, his old man, would have come out to be an official a long time ago.

"Handsome! It is the ancestral home of the little old man. Wu Laohan pointed to a courtyard near Fangshantou and said.

A guy in his thirties opened the wooden courtyard door and let Li Xiao into the courtyard.

Sure enough, it is a paradise, with a huge courtyard of four or five hundred square meters. There is also a small pond in the middle of the yard, and two geese are playing leisurely on the edge of the pond. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and two thrushes are raised in a bird cage hanging from the branches. On the eaves of Fangshantou, a huge tanuki cat yawned with its big mouth open, and then stared at the small group of humans in the yard.

Carved beams and painted buildings, cofferdam corridors. At the foot of the wall, there are some peeling wall skins to expose the green bricks inside, and at a glance you can see that it is the process of grinding bricks to joint. It seems that this old Wu Han ancestor is still an official eunuch. Even if he is not an official eunuch, at least he is a rich man.

It's no wonder that Wu Laohan is reluctant to give up this ancestral house, and if it is himself, he is reluctant to have such a yard. Now Li Xiao knows that the paradise that Wu Laohan said refers to his own yard, not Jinzhou Xicheng.

"Old man, your ancestor is a noble!" Li Xiao touched it around.

"Lao Han's grandfather used to be the commander of Jinzhou, and he was also a six-rank official of the imperial court. It's just that the family has fallen in the middle of the road over the years, and the old man can only rely on the budding shade of his ancestors, guarding a few shops on the street to collect rent. ”

Oh, it turned out to be a charter man. No wonder a handful of years old looks red.

"This yard is really good, if it is my family's house, I would not want to tear it down."

"Thank you, handsome! Thank you, Dashuai! Hearing Li Xiao say this, Wu Laohan immediately knelt down on the bluestone slab and thanked him.

"Handsome! Don't! "Here Wu Laohan's voice declined, and another old guy in a long robe came out of the crowd. knelt down in front of Li Xiao too!

"Uncle, ...... are you?" Li Xiao looked at this old guy and didn't know what he wanted to do.

"Handsome! The old Wu family didn't want to demolish the house, but the adobe house in the old Han's house was waiting for the official family to be demolished. The old man lived in the west of the city all his life, and the adobe house was cold in winter and hot and humid in summer. The old man has long been envious of those new houses in the south of the city, although it is a little tiring to climb the stairs, but there is still a first floor.

In winter, there is a burning heater, and in summer, when the windows are opened, it is called a cool wind. Last year, the government built a water tower, so that the water could flow to the house without having to go to the well to pick it up.

This year, I heard that the official family was going to demolish the house, and the old man was so happy that he didn't sleep well for several nights. I'm not afraid of your jokes, and I woke up several times laughing while dreaming. You can't change your mind, the old man begs you on behalf of the more than 600 families around here. After saying that, the old man's head was like a kowtow worm, and he hit the ground desperately. smashed the bluestone ground "bang" and "bang" straight sound.

Li Xiao hurriedly helped the old man up and shook his head painfully. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, although everyone lives in the west of the city, but the living environment is very different. Those who live in adobe houses are looking forward to the demolition like the stars and the moon. But Wu Laohan is like this, relying on his ancestors, but he still wants to live his own small life.

Although they live under the same sky, their needs are very different.

Now Li Xiao understands Sun Chengzong's words, it is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a local official who wants to do things. A bowl of water is flat, and it is simply impossible to achieve it here. Wu Laohan's real estate, even if you give him more money, he is not willing to demolish it.

Opposite! People who live in adobe houses are willing to live in spacious and bright buildings even if they pay for them.

"Wang Tong, since Wu Laohan is unwilling to demolish, then his mansion will not be demolished." As soon as Li Xiao said this, Wu Laohan knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, calling the eldest master wise.

And the old man who lived in the adobe house was as sad as a mourner.

"Old man, you don't need that expression. Since the official family said that it would be demolished, then your house should be demolished according to the original plan. It's just that the yard of Wu Laohan's house is not demolished.

Wang Tong, you change the drawings. Is it difficult? ”

"It's not difficult! It's not difficult! Wang Tong nodded and bowed, and bad water began to bubble up in his heart.

This guy is a hereditary official, and it can be said that he has learned to be an official since he was sensible. has long been sharpened into an old fritter in the officialdom, Wu Laohan, a bastard, actually dared to give himself eye medicine when Li Xiao arrived, so who the hell are you not tidying up?

The future is to build buildings around your courtyard, twelve hours a day, can let you see the sun for an hour, Lao Tzu Wang character upside down......

Wrong! Lao Tzu with your surname!

At that time, everyone was living in the building. If you bow your head, you can see your family to the bottom, and whether your family is paying tribute or eating, there are the broad masses of people silently watching. In the summer, your daughter-in-law will cause a lot of old ladies to talk about it.

As for some unscrupulous residents, they have nothing to do with falling objects from high altitudes. Wu Laohan's house is full of garbage, and that's not Lao Tzu's business. As long as you find someone throwing things, Lao Tzu will ...... and condemned him.

There is no way that the "Da Ming Law" does not stipulate what the crime of falling objects from high altitudes is, of course, if you crush your family to death, the lord will not mind justice for a while. Let's start with it, who are you going to push out of your house and stone to death?

Two septic tanks, one on the left and one on the right, are built next to your house. When the earth melts in the spring, the smell is absolutely sour.

What? Septic tank is not breathable? Isn't that a bit of a quality problem?

When the time comes, all the naughty bear children in Xicheng will be placed in these buildings around the Wu family. Your cat still dares to lie on the eaves like this, hehe! I'm afraid that at that time, your cat will be plucked out by those bear children.

As for the two geese, they won't be seen in a few days, and the end is nothing more than the difference between steamed and braised geese.

By that time, hey, hey! You can't find a grave even when you fucking cry, give Lao Tzu eye medicine, Lao Tzu won't give you a pair of small shoes that squeeze your feet, and still have the face to be this governor?

Wu Laohan didn't notice Governor Wang's cruel eyes, in his opinion, this was a great victory, a victory of epoch-making significance. A classic attempt to sue the officials, a shocking act of justice being served.

With a smug smile on his face, he glanced contemptuously at the mud legs. proudly bowed his hands to a group of officials, proud like a big rooster that had won.

Li Xiao noticed the fierce light flashing in Wang Tong's eyes, but he didn't intervene. Since you have chosen a different path from the vast majority of people, you have to pay more price.

In this world, the thing of taking advantage of the advantage and not suffering the loss only exists in theory.

After dealing with this matter, Wang Tong simply asked Li Xiao to go around Jinzhou City, in the name of guiding the work.

I saw that the south city was newly built, and the building was only lived in last fall. The floor is paved with diamond-shaped cement bricks, and the walls are covered with frosted stone. Matchbox-style buildings, one ladder and two households. Most of the units are two-bedroom and one-living rooms, and there are eight families living from the first floor to the fourth floor.

There was a toilet in the room and even a primitive flush toilet. Turn on the faucet, and clear tap water will flow out. According to Wang Tong, this tap water is supplied twelve hours a day.

Standing in front of the window, Li Xiao could see the tall water tower in the distance. It is as high as an eight-story building, which is currently the highest height in Jinzhou City.

How does such a tall water tower pump water up? Li Xiao saw the chimney emitting black smoke next to the water tower, and suddenly remembered that the steam engine had just been invented, that is, to be used as a pumping machine.

It seems that this Wang Tong has some means, and actually pulled out a steam engine from the old fisherman.

"Well done, the battle is almost over now. People's livelihood has become the first priority, and if you want to have enough to eat, you must encourage farmers to diversify their land. If you want to be rich, you have to encourage industry and commerce. Li Xiao looked at the newly renovated Jinzhou City, and felt that it was too fucking right to take in and promote Wang Tong at the beginning. This guy has his own problems, but his skills are indeed not small.

"No! Obey the words of the commander. The city can now only develop commerce, except for all kinds of shops. Jinzhou is a seaport, and local products from the south are free to open stalls for them to sell in a centralized manner. In this way, the big merchants of ten miles and eight towns, and even Shenyang and Liaoyang, have to come to Jinzhou to buy goods.

Take the tiles from the south as an example, our Jinzhou has become the distribution center of the entire Liaodong. Merchants from the farthest reaches came from Mongolia to buy the native products of the south. Southern rosewood, mahogany ornaments and furniture can be sold for sky-high prices on the grassland. Such a large kang table can also be sold for fifty taels of silver. Wang Tong gestured with his hand, which was almost a meter in size.

A one-meter-sized rosewood square table sells for fifty taels of silver, and it's so damn expensive?

Li Xiao's heart of 10,000 grass and mud horses roared by, if you have such a rosewood square table in the future, you can definitely buy a suite in the imperial capital after selling it. In these years, his mother is worth fifty taels of silver? Lao Tzu should not hoard some and make a palace. It's fucking called Rosewood Palace!

"Huh! Looking at the stalls for no money, it seems that those merchants are cheaper. But so many people come to Jinzhou, they can't live in the store without eating or drinking. Your Jinzhou City Restaurant Tea Shop is so prosperous, it is the credit of these merchants.

And also! There are taxes to be paid for this business, and the treasury of your Jinzhou Mansion is also very full! Li Xiao "hey" "hey" smirked.

"This is still the blessing of the handsome, and now Haiqinghe Yan is peaceful in the world. The silver earned by his subordinates was all Taiping silver. In addition to allocating the treasury according to Mr. Sun's instructions. The fisherman often paid money from his subordinates, and the fourth master said that he would build a railway next year, and his subordinates also prepared 100,000 taels of silver. ”

"Huh! Your brains are spinning so fast, and you're hooked on the fisherman. Only then will you have a steam engine, and if you build the railway as soon as possible, you can connect Jinzhou City or the entire Liaodong as a whole. Dog's day, you should be this handsome. Li Xiao once again decided that this guy's oiliness has far surpassed that of loaches.

"I don't dare to be humble, but Liaodong is the first good area under the rule of the marshal. The humble position must be done well, and he dare not live up to the expectations of the marshal. "I have become a fine guy, so I naturally know that Li Xiao is not really angry. In Wang Tong's view, Li Xiao's words are a great affirmation for him.

It's okay for others to say that, but the handsome man said so...... Prove that you are likely to be promoted.

"Liaodong is not only so big, beyond Hetuara and further north. There are also thousands of miles of fertile soil, and oil can come out of the black soil when you grab it. In the future, the imperial court will continue to emigrate to Liaodong, and you should also encourage the people to open up land and cultivate land in the north.

Most of the soldiers transferred out of Liaodong are garrison divisions, and Ao Ye and Man Ye will return to Liaodong. In the process of reclamation, no matter if you encounter the Mongols or other savages, as long as you dare to attack the Han Chinese. Kill them all!

The Ming Dynasty is no longer a place for foreign races to graze horses, and the footsteps of our Han nation to expand their territory will never stop. ”
