Chapter 100: The Field
Zhaojiazhuang is a little far away from the county seat, when the flood, there is a flash flood, now everything is in the past, but the road is a little difficult, a day later, the carriage can no longer move forward.
Riding in the carriage was harder than walking, and he was dizzy, Han Mu saw that Gu Junruo's face was pale, so he simply unloaded the carriage, carried his luggage on his back, and led the horse forward directly.
He hugged Gu Junruo to the horse, touched the horse's neck comfortingly, and said, "This is a horse, it walks very slowly, I will lead you, so don't worry." ”
Gu Junruo: "You still have injuries on your body, come up and sit, I'll walk." ”
Han Mu sighed and said, "That little injury is not worth mentioning, if you are allowed to sit, you will sit." ”
He threw a burden to Xiaobei, carried one himself, and led the horse away.
The soldiers followed silently, waiting until they had walked through the section of the road that had erupted in the flash flood, and the road gradually improved.
Han Mu exhaled, glanced back and said, "Stop and rest, everyone can eat something too." ”
Han Mu stretched out his hand to hug Gu Junruo and threw the horse to Xiaobei, "Let it eat some grass." ”
It is hard for people to walk, but it is not easy for people to sit on horses, and Gu Junruo's back hurts now.
She stood on the side of the road and looked back at the road she had just walked, Han Mu unscrewed the water bladder and handed it to her, glanced at her gaze, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"When the disaster passes, allocate some money to repair this road," she said: "If the road is blocked, trade will be cut off, and even if the people can be self-sufficient, it will be difficult to make money, and weddings, funerals, and medical treatment and other matters cannot be separated from money." ”
"And the people have to pay taxes and have to come out, the road is so bad that it is difficult for the people to transport taxes and grain."
Han Mu should go down.
Gu Junruo sighed, "I don't know if there are many such roads in the county." ”
Naturally, he didn't know about this kind of thing, as they had avoided this side when they were patrolling the county before, and there were only three roads they saw at that time, but it was only a short section, not a long one.
Building roads is a very expensive thing.
Rao is Han Mu felt poverty.
He frowned, "Yixian County is poor, and it may be difficult to raise enough money to build roads by relying only on the taxes of the people, and some of the taxes have to be paid." You can't increase taxes just to build roads, so where will the money come from? ”
Han Mu frowned, "I'll borrow it again, or ask my father and eldest brother for it?" ”
Gu Junruo glanced at him and said: "Whether it is a friend or a relative, it is to help the emergency but not the poor, before the situation in Yixian County was critical, I had to borrow private money, and now that the critical situation has passed, how can I borrow it again?" ”
She said: "This is not how the people are governed, we have to find a way to make Yixian self-sufficient and develop." ”
Han Mu asked, "What's the way?" ”
Gu Junruo has actually been thinking about it during this time, it is not difficult for Yixian County to be self-sufficient, because there is a dense water network here, there are hills and plains, and the land is fertile.
But it is a bit difficult to make money.
Because of the special geographical location here, the three kingdoms are handed over here, and there are many bandits, so the guest will avoid here.
In other words, the geographical location here is special, as long as the bandits are eliminated and the safety of the merchants is guaranteed, there will be no fewer merchants here, and if they can open a field at the junction of the three countries, there will only be more merchants coming and going.
Not to mention the rest, taxes and money alone are enough for Yixian County to repair roads and bridges, and even build water conservancy projects.
Gu Junruo's eyes flashed, and he said to Han Mu: "We encourage commerce and trade, and open the field to the imperial court. ”
Han Mu frowned, "It's not difficult to encourage commerce and trade, I can make up my own mind, but I can open up the field, not to mention that the court doesn't agree, I'm not very happy." ”
He said: "Now that the field is not opened, there are detailed works lurking in Yixian, once the field is opened, our Yixian County is not like a sieve?" I don't know how many fine works will enter the Great Zhou from here. ”
"Didn't the closure of the field also allow people like Chen Jian to lurk in Yixian for nearly ten years?" Gu Junruo said: "It can be seen that blocking is useless. ”
She said: "I think the governance of county affairs is the same as the management of floods, it is better to dredge than to go to great lengths to block, it is better to let go of governance, slowly dredge, we can still grasp the initiative." In the end, the latter also ensured the economy, so that the people would not have a hard time living because of their guards. ”
"If you start a war because of meticulous work, you will lose more than what you earn," Han Mu said: "At that time, it will not only be the people of Yixian County who will be affected, but the entire Great Zhou." ”
Gu Junruo: "I believe in you, and I also believe that General Jiang has the ability to prevent the subtlety, Chen Jian has been lurking in Yixian for many years, and when we come, isn't he also exposed?" ”
Han Mu looked at her steadily, her move was not so much to believe in him and Jiang Xin as to believe in herself.
Gu Junruo looked back at him fearlessly, and said softly: "Now Yixian County is in ruins, and the population in the county is less than thirty percent of what it used to be, either died from this disaster, or they have fled their hometowns, if there is no policy to drive them back to their hometowns, Yixian County is an empty county." ”
She said: "Chen Guo and Qi Guo see that the border of the Great Zhou is like this, do you think they won't want to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and rob while the fire is hot?" ”
Han Mu lowered his eyes and pondered.
Gu Junruo said: "Chen Jian has been lurking in Yixian County for many years and has not moved, why did he move this time?" The Triple Alliance was obviously no longer enough to restrain Chen, so at this time, he either rested and watched the situation move towards the set ending, and the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil again. ”
"Either go further and think of a way to break the situation," Gu Junruo said: "You can write to Your Majesty, if the imperial court intends to send troops to fight and dominate the world, then you and I have nothing to say, if the imperial court is not ready to send troops, opening up the field is a good way to alleviate the contradictions between the three kingdoms." ”
She said: "This law can ensure that the three countries will not fight for at least ten years." ”
This is the best choice for Da Zhou and Yixian County, which is in urgent need of recuperation.
Han Mu looked down at her.
Gu Junruo also raised his head to meet his gaze, the two looked at each other silently for a moment, and Han Mu said, "Okay, I will write to Your Majesty." ”
The two fell silent.
Gu Junruo looked at him curiously and a little puzzled, not understanding why he was suddenly in a bad mood, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Han Mu pursed his lips, glanced at her with some grievances, and asked, "Did you choose to marry me because I would listen to you and start a scene?" ”
Gu Xiang has always wanted to open a scene, that was four years ago, when he was still young, the court and the central government were arguing about this matter, and his father was also involved, but unfortunately there was no statute in the back, Gu Xiang died of serious illness, and the matter was over.
He felt that Gu Jun had inherited Gu Xiang's legacy, so he wanted to open a scene.
Gu Junruo: "...... Can I still know in advance that you will be exiled to Yi County as a county magistrate? ”
If she wasn't exiled here, how could she mention the matter of opening a scene?
Han Mu thought about it, and became happy again, and said happily: "Also, then did you choose me because you like me?" ”
