Qin Jianglong got his wish. The county lord asked someone to come back to spread the word, he did not have to participate in the work, and he could continue to leave the county seat and go to the depths of the mountains to pull people's heads.

And everyone who is present, as long as they are willing, can follow Qin Jianglong to pull people's heads. However, Qin Jianglong didn't understand why some officers and soldiers on the other side of the camp took off their military robes and changed into ordinary people's clothes to walk with them.

According to the explanation of the person who came back to deliver the message. This is because the county lord was worried that they might encounter some danger in the mountain, so he specially asked the general on the side of the big camp to send some officers and soldiers to accompany them into the mountain.

But since it was to protect them, why did he change his military robes? Qin Jianglong didn't understand, but it was a good thing to think about it, if he really encountered a big insect or something in the mountains, these officers and soldiers would definitely be more useful than them.

After confirming that he could continue to pull people to earn money, Qin Jianglong suppressed these thoughts, and left with a few people who hoped to enter the mountain together, along with those officers and soldiers who had changed into civilian clothes.

And a team like Qin Jianglong has more than a dozen in the entire Dayong County. With the idea of making money and making a fortune, all of them entered the depths of the 100,000 mountains in the southwest under the escort of the officers and soldiers who took off their military uniforms and put on the clothes of the common people.

There are not many people like Qin Jianglong who have discovered ways to make money through one thing and become rich. These people have all left the county seat of Dayong.

But there are many more people who are being dragged to various construction sites in Dayong County. After the salary was determined to be paid every three days, everyone was enthusiastic and put into the work.

In addition, there are more people in the mountains who came to Dayong County for the first time to work, heard about pulling people's heads, and also put forward a request that they hope to enter the mountains to pull people's heads.

Li Yulong naturally agreed to it, and sent officers and soldiers to escort him.

"Back to Your Highness, now that there are more than 20,000 people working outside the city, do you want to continue to let people out and pull people's heads?" On the top of the bare hill with only forts and watchtowers, Li Yulong, the commander of Dayong County, bowed his head and asked the imperial grandson who was watching the construction site of the Lishui River.

In order to prevent the possibility of someone trying to intercept the river by damming the upper reaches of the Lishui River, and finally blow up the embankment, the hoarded river water will tilt downward, and impact Daying and Dayong County.

This section of the river outside the city, after the water of the river is flowed, begins to be continuously dredged and added to the river. and on both sides of the river, the embankment was strengthened and heightened, and a retaining wall was built.

At the same time as the construction of the river was started, there was also a steel cement bridge. Enlarged deep pits were dug out of the riverbed.

The mold has been put down, and the steel cage has been tied in the middle, just waiting for the cement factory at the foot of the mountain to be completed, and the quarried mountain stone is fired into cement, which can be put into use.

"I need to find something to do for the next people." Zhu Yunxi spoke softly, frowning slightly.

At present, 20,000 people have met the current engineering needs of Dayong County. If more people are invested, not to mention wasting the money and food of the imperial court, it will be a waste of manpower in vain.

Such a high-level matter, Li Yulong, a small magistrate, naturally can't intervene. Zhu Gaochi looked at Dayong County on the other side of the river, and said: "Then expand the county seat, if there are more people, the camp will also be rebuilt with bricks and stones." ”

"That's a good idea." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face, and turned his head to look at the county magistrate of Dayong County, who had been waiting here for a long time.

Li Yulong smiled and nodded again and again: "Your Royal Highness and the prince are concerned about Dayong County and sympathize with the people. His Royal Highness and the prince of the world are grateful for the kindness of the people of Dayong County, and the people of Manchu County on behalf of Weichen. Zhu Yunxi just smiled, picked up the binoculars again, and turned to look at the upper reaches of the Lishui River in the southwest.

That's where the cement plant is already under construction. With the investment of the project, a large amount of gunpowder will be transported from the camp every day, and the officers and soldiers of the firearms battalion will be responsible for the management and use of it, blowing up the mountain at the location of the cement factory, so that the people can mine the rocks, level the land, and build the cement factory on the spot.

Zhu Gaochi put his hands together and looked at Li Yulong with a smile: "My Royal Highness and I are clans, and this Dayong County is under my Ming rule, and the people are also the people of my family, so the county does not need to thank anything." If you can make the people richer and live a better life, it should also be. Li Yulong nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!" What the prince said is very true. Zhu Gaochi hummed and waved his hand: "There are several construction sites outside the city, there are many causes, but they are all real things, and the county lord should go and keep an eye on it quickly." If these things are done well, Li Xianzun will always have a hard work, and His Royal Highness and the officials will naturally remember it. Naturally, this is a promise.

Although these things are now decided by the imperial court, or Zhu Yunxi. But things were done in Dayong County.

Li Yulong, the county order, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as he keeps an eye on the project and doesn't go wrong, after the thing is done, his political achievements will naturally be there.

Get out of the mountains. It is not only the hope of those people in the mountains, but also the hope of officials like Li Yulong in the mountains.

The smile on Li Yulong's face became brighter and brighter. He nodded his head and cautiously retreated to the top of the mountain.

After the county magistrate left, Zhu Gaochi turned around and walked to Zhu Yunxi's side.

"This time, in order to completely abolish the southwest Tusi system, the imperial court has continuously raised three million taels of silver and a lot of grain and grass, and they really have to throw it all in?" Zhu Gaochi frowned and asked softly.

The three million taels of silver and countless grains and grass in his mouth were not only used in Dayong County. Around the entire 100,000 mountains in the southwest, such strategies as Dayong County are being carried out at the same time.

The telescope in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes did not put down, but said loudly: "Do you think that if these silver are smashed into it, if you can't get rid of the southwest Tusi system, it will be useless?" Zhu Gaochi thought about it, but still shook his head.

"I see what you mean, it's not just the southwest. Just like the road from Yichang to Kuizhou, one is to pull the people out of the mountains, and the other is to open up the road from Huguang to Shuzhong. It is the same line from Guiyang to Chongqing through Banzhou, except for the southwest toast, but also to link these places together. Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Since you know, what else is there to worry about?" The silver of the imperial court was spent, and even if the southwest Tusi system could not be abolished in one fell swoop this time, it could still be used to connect the roads in the southwest and strengthen the imperial court's control over the southwest region. Zhu Gaochi was silent.

He just felt that things were done in a bit too haste. The old man is in a hurry to stay in Beijing, the uncle is anxious to completely abolish the Tusi system, and Brother Xi is in a hurry to finish his errand and return to Beijing.

Zhu Yunxi continued to say softly: "Are you thinking about how to settle these people who came out of the mountains? ”

"I didn't say that." Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

"But that's what you think." Zhu Yunxi finally put down the binoculars in his hand and turned to look at Xiao Pang: "The Ming Dynasty has been in the country for thirty years, but the population of Shuzhong has not actually recovered to its heyday. As for the future...... When the Tusi system in the southwest disappears, the roads that are now being built around can be built into the mountains, and then the open space in the mountains can be used and handed over to the people to cultivate, and there is no need to worry about any more chaos in the southwest. Zhu Gaochi swallowed his saliva: "It's another big project of tens of millions of taels of silver!" "Based on what Zhu Yunxi just said, if the imperial court doesn't invest tens of millions of taels of silver, it won't be able to do it at all.

In fact, there are not many major things that the imperial court is doing now, but every thing is a lot of investment. On the river, millions of dollars of money and grain are invested in a year.

The same is true of the Western Railway, which began construction a year ago. And the imperial court is still preparing to conquer the plateau and the Western Regions.

There is also the development of the New World, the iterative renewal of the naval fleet, and the R&D and iterative replacement of the Great Ming Firearm, which require countless investments every year.

Now there's another big hole. Zhu Gaochi is not worried that the current Daming will be defeated by external enemies.

Because the forces that can be called enemies outside the Ming Dynasty have all disappeared. He was worried now that Da Ming would be dragged down by these internal innovations that seemed to be a bit rushed.

"I've calculated, now the imperial court spends more than 30 million taels of money, food and materials every year."

"Although the imperial court's income has increased a lot in recent years, it has only just been leveled if it continues. Once something happens, you have to make ends meet. "The imperial court was in Hongwu for about twenty-five years, and the annual income was about 30 million taels.

This point, Zhu Gaochi is clear. Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Don't worry, the general has enough land in the south, no matter how short it is, we will not lack food now." When the New World is developed, there will be no shortage of gold and silver. You have to think, when the affairs in the southwest are done, will the imperial court be able to save millions of taels of money and grain every year? Can it even be used to increase the income of one million taels for the imperial court? "One thing that no one knows.

That is, in order to implement the reform of the land and return to the river in the southwest, how much grain does the Ming Dynasty spend every year. No one has ever calculated this account.

People only know that the transformation of the land was completely completed after a long time, and they do not pay attention to how much Daming invested in it.

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and said something. Zhu Yunxi interrupted it: "There is also the money and grain investment of the nine sides, and last year because of the Northern Expedition, it is the most invested in the past years." But when the cabinet is summed up and settled at the end of this year, you can look at the accounts of the household department, even if there is a big green city that needs to be invested, the current cost of the entire nine sides is much less than in the past, and these are all really saved. Zhu Gaochi was speechless.

He understands that no matter how much he has concerns, Brother Xi can convince himself. Because what he says is true.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered: "Right now, we are fighting an unprecedented war here. In the past, whether it was our Ming Dynasty, the Tang and Song dynasties, or even the former Yuan Dynasty, they had always used soldiers to fight each other in the southwest, trying to solve the Tusi system that had existed for thousands of years. But now, we can simply use silver and food to smash out a peaceful world, instead of letting those soldiers fight the enemy, why not? ”

"But in the end, there's still a battle to end here!" Zhu Gaochi stubbornly retorted. But his rebuttal at this time was more like his incompetent anger after he understood that what Zhu Yunxi said was right.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "That will also reduce the death of many people." Zhu Gaochi was deflated, pouted, and was unwilling to deal with the other party.

Zhu Yunxi began to walk towards the camp at the foot of the mountain: "There is one more thing, you talk to Brother Bing'er, let him take people to find out the situation in this mountain." This time, with the help of these local people, I will find out the deepest holes in the southwest mountains and mark them on the kanyu. Zhu Gaochi hurriedly followed, muttering: "Aren't you afraid that those Tusi people who are mixed in with the people will go back to tell the truth?" When the time comes, those who will be harmed by the people who will go into the mountains to pull people's heads will be buried in the depths of the mountains. "This time, why are people like Qin Jianglong allowed to continue to enter the mountains to pull people's heads?

In addition to pulling out the natives and Miao people in the mountains, and taking the opportunity of work, they were brought under the direct management of the imperial court.

It was the officers and soldiers who followed who would secretly write down and map the terrain and landforms. Even everyone, including Zhu Yunxi, understood that among the mountain people who came to Dayong County this time, there must be many people who were sent by those forces who opposed the imperial court's abolition of the Tusi system.

This must also be done. Zhu Yunxi stopped. He was silent for a moment, then sighed, but his gaze was sharp.

"Although I do not want to die, death is inevitable. It is impossible for the people who entered the mountains this time to return with a full load as before, but this is a loss that we must bear. ”

"Even, as long as those who are unwilling to be removed from the Tusi system, the more people they kill, the better the situation of the imperial court in the southwest."

"And those who oppose the abolition of the Tusi system will also be caught in another war!" After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi once again quickened his pace.

The old man should be out for a walk, and before the old man returns to the camp, he has to prepare a meal for the old man.

He is the grandiose grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and he is very busy. Zhu Gaochi's face was gloomy: "What another war?" However, Zhu Yunxi's figure was already far away, and he didn't hear Zhu Yunxi's explanation.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi, who was walking towards the camp from a distance, whispered a sentence in his mouth.
