Volume 3 Chapter 252 Happiness Came Too Suddenly
When Puxiru personally escorted the grain to the grassland, it really caused a sensation.
When have they ever seen the money back?
In recent years, there have been snow disasters and famines, and the people on the grassland have relied on their own heritage to carry it.
Carry it over, everything is fine, you can't resist it, everything is over.
They never believed that those in power had surplus food to help them.
"Look, look!" Standing on top of a wagon full of grain, Pucciro said, "Still want to know if you can grab it?" The eyeballs are shining, and I really have more than a thousand guards who are decorations. ”
"Old man Pu, come on, come on, there is a kind of you come down, let's go one-on-one, the man on the grassland, don't be cowardly!" Immediately, someone shouted.
Pu Xiruo was not angry, looked at the person who spoke, and said with a disdainful expression: "Lao Tzu is now the head of the household, who the has time to fight with you?" Busy! ”
I have to say that these guys are deeply influenced by Li Chengqian.
Of course, this is actually the case in all dynasties, whether it is an emperor or a king, everyone is following them intentionally or unintentionally, which is the so-called celebrity effect.
"Alright, don't delay your work." Pu Xiru said, "Your Highness said, seeing that you guys are hungry, poor Baba, he can't look at it, and specially sent this official to bring food to everyone."
Over the years, there have been disasters and famines, and everyone has suffered.
But His Royal Highness said again, the men on our grassland are all hardworking and willing to work, as long as they survive this year, the future will only get better and better. ”
Hearing him say this, everyone was stunned, and someone immediately asked, "Is this grain for us?" ”
"What do you think?" "If I hadn't sent you food, would this official have been able to make this trip?" Is the Sun Moon Mountain not fragrant, or is the official full of food and has nothing to do?
There are more than 300,000 people in the entire Ming Dynasty, in order to raise food for you, His Royal Highness has tried his best, and even sold himself to the Tang Dynasty to raise food for you.
One or two, there is no gratitude at all, why did I have such a group of white-eyed wolves on my grassland? ”
Puxi scolded very comfortably, which occupied the moral high ground in advance, and it was different to scold people, full of confidence.
"Pu Shangshu, is this food really for me?" They didn't care at all about Puxiruo's accusations, mainly because it was too unusual.
Murong Shun has ruled Chishuiyuan for so many years, and they haven't seen any money back?
Pu Xiru was speechless for a moment: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, pull it back!
God, I finally have a master on the grassland, and you still can't believe it, you deserve to suffer. ”
"No, no, Pu Shangshu." The man who was about to fight with Pu Xiru just now said, "You know, where have we experienced this all these years?
I've seen people who come to collect taxes, who cares about our life and death, Pushangshu, you used to be a person on our grassland, you said yourself, haven't you ever seen such a thing. ”
"That's just as well." Pu Xi nodded, but quickly shook his head and said angrily, "No, what do you mean, compare our Royal Highness King Ming with that Murong Shun?"
It's a shame that His Royal Highness King Ming is still worried about your life and death, and that's how you repay Your Highness? ”
"Hey! Pu Shangshu, how could we have that kind of thought! The man hurriedly said, "It's just that this happiness came too suddenly." ”
Pu Xiruo suddenly smiled and said: "You are lucky, and we have His Royal Highness King Ming." Of course, food will not be given to you in vain.
His Royal Highness said, the men on the grassland are all hard-working men, and it is simple to want food, and the court is ready to build several cities on the grassland, and anyone can come, work hard, get grain, right? ”
"Reasonable, reasonable." Someone immediately said, "If it's really for nothing, I really don't dare to ask for it, it's so good, it's so good, and there's nothing to do right now." ”
Hearing Puxiruo say this, everyone was relieved, sure enough, there will be no pie in the sky.
As for why the city was built, it has nothing to do with them, as long as it fills their stomachs.
As soon as Pu Xiru saw them like this, he knew what these guys were thinking, after all, if he hadn't followed Li Chengqian in the first place, he would be one of these guys now.
"A bunch of heartless guys." Pu Xiru immediately scolded, "Why do you want Your Highness to build a city on this grassland, it's not for you guys.
It's not easy to have a hard time with the snow disaster in these years, right? If there is a city, won't you have a place to take refuge in the event of a snowstorm?
Also, after the city is repaired, people will come to the city to do business, and the imperial court will also open a medical center in the city, isn't it still convenient for you?
Do you know what a medical hall is? Even if you have any physical discomfort, you can go to the hospital for help!
Finally, when there is a big war in the future, you can find a place to hide!
Are you still planning to fight together like before, and resign yourself to fate?
A bunch of guys who don't know what to do. ”
"Your Highness, is this asking us all to live in the city?" Someone asked suspiciously.
His question spoke to everyone's hearts.
This is unacceptable, as a herdsman, living in pursuit of water and grass.
What kind of herdsmen are the herdsmen who have entered the city?
"Where do you like to live?" "No one has forced you, Your Highness has built a city just to have a place to shelter you from the wind and rain when you need it."
Do you really think that His Royal Highness has money and nowhere to spend, and he still shelves this grassland to build a large number of buildings? If you are not afraid that you will not be able to withstand the snow disaster and the military disaster in the future, Your Highness will come to build the city even if the treasury is empty?
I really don't have a conscience at all. ”
He scolded him, but the herdsmen nodded, and as for Puxi Rudong's unconscionable sentence and Xi's ignorance, they didn't hear it at all.
You can scold as you like, can you still have a piece of meat? After eating a full stomach, you can grow two taels of meat.
"Pu Shangshu, when can you work?" Someone asked.
Pu Xiru said: "What's the hurry, isn't this official here?"
Let me tell you first, the remuneration is calculated according to the working hours, four hours a day is one working hour, one working hour and a half a bucket of rice, more work is more, but His Royal Highness has specially explained that he can work for up to six hours a day. If you work too much, no one will give you a credit for your work.
Remember, don't come to me at that time to talk to me, saying that this official has withheld your food. ”
"Then I can't work more than one day, two hours a day." Someone immediately asked.
Puxi said angrily: "You have ears and fanned the wind? His Royal Highness said that one person can work a maximum of one and a half hours a day, because he is afraid that you brainless people will exhaust yourself to death.
Your Highness After all, I still want you to be good, but do you still want to die yourself?
Think about it yourself, has anyone done this to you like Your Highness?
Not only did I not have any exploitation, but I was afraid that I would tire you out.
Oh my God, you're still disgusted. ”
"That, Pu Shangshu, don't talk nonsense, when did we dislike it?" The man hurriedly said, "Isn't this merciful Your Highness, and we always want to help Your Highness finish the city earlier?" ”
"Make a face, you!" Puxiru pointed to the guy's nose and said, "Do you really think that this city is for His Highness?" Why, can His Highness still come to live? In the end, it is not you who will benefit.
Remember, after the city is repaired, you will still be the ones who will benefit, and you will be careful when you work. ”
"Don't worry about this." Someone immediately said, "Your Highness has a saying that is not wrong, the men on the grassland are all hardworking and willing to work, and if you take Your Highness's food, if the work is not beautiful, don't say Your Highness, I can't let him go!" ”
"Yes, yes, no matter who dares to smash our jobs, it will definitely be impossible to keep him!" This was quickly echoed by the crowd.
That's all it takes for a good year, everybody.
Pu Xiru didn't say much at the moment, and arranged for someone to register them, after all, not everyone would go to work.
After everyone had finished registering, Puxi waved his hand and walked towards the depths of the prairie.
But the rest is much smoother, with the first batch of people holding stinky feet on the side, it is not too easy.
For several days, Puxiru did this on the grassland.
Not to mention, if this thing is done, it will be called a smooth one.
When the whole grassland heard the news, they all looked incredulous, when did the people in power care about their life and death?
Although Li Chengqian needs them to build a city, but if a city is built, a city will be built, as long as they can fill their stomachs, what is this?
Besides, the salary given by people is very conscientious.
It is not much of a problem for a person to work one job a day and barely feed a family, of course, that is, barely.
But as long as you work, people still take care of the food? And it's the kind that is full.
Where can I find this kind of good thing?
Judging from this point alone, they can be regarded as discovering that His Royal Highness King Ming is really different from the original King Daning.
People really treat them as human beings!
If nothing else, others are eager for you to work hard all day, and it's best not to rest.
But the king is different, you are allowed to work for up to six hours a day, and you will not be given working hours if you are more.
Where do you have to find such a king?
You may not be able to find it with a lantern!
It's just half a month's work, and the saying of the virtuous king has already spread on the grassland.
I have to say that no matter which dynasty it is, the common people are the best to fool.
To ask why, there is only one reason, they are low-demanding.
That's really low!
As long as you can keep them alive, you are their good king! It's the Lord! Even gods!
And with their active participation in the wave of city building, the industrial era of the Ming Dynasty officially kicked off his prelude.
Everything is developing day by day.
Looking at all this, there is no one happier than Ihara Seok.
He is now the Ministry of Works, whether it is to build a city or a camp, these are within his jurisdiction, now, the Ming Dynasty is building more than ten cities, there are several mines.
Every day, he runs east and west, supervising the construction progress everywhere.
The workshop is also constantly researching some equipment that can be used in construction, including various tools, which are slowly entering various construction sites.
Recently, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty have also spared no effort to raise money and grain from the Tang Dynasty, and they have come to the Ming Dynasty day and night.
Make money as soon as possible!
This is a truth that everyone understands.
There are also some smart people with smart brains, and they are even aiming at the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no way, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is empty.
Li Qinjian and their ability to leap from businessmen to officials gave them hope.
Among them, Huang Song is the most active.
I missed an opportunity, but I don't want to miss a second time.
Of course, in addition to them, those who received the news in Datang also came enthusiastically towards the Ming court.
For example, Lang Zhong, such as Mr. Teaching, such as the students who failed to make the list, and those craftsmen who can't get by, are all migrating towards the Ming Dynasty.
For a time, the news of the Ming Dynasty spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and even spread throughout the grassland, and there was a tendency to spread to the west.
In Riyue Mountain, Li Chengqian looked at the thriving Ming Dynasty and felt very proud.
Perhaps, this is the proof that I have crossed over!
"As for the horse industry, I haven't seen this guy lately." Li Chengqian said casually.
When Liu San heard this, he smiled and said, "This guy, after the end of the war, can be regarded as seizing the opportunity to rest for a while. ”
"I really hurt him before." Li Chengqian also sighed with emotion, the Ming Dynasty has been able to get to this day, not because of him alone, but because everyone has worked together to get to where it is today, "Since we entered the Chishui source, this guy hasn't had a good rest, but after such a long time, he should also rest well, right?" ”
"Then I'll call him now." Liu San said that he knew that Li Chengqian would not call Ma Ye to come without something.
Li Chengqian nodded, he did have something to do with the horse industry.
Not long after, Ma Ye, who had been recuperating for a while, came with a smile on his face, and from a distance, he did look like a dragon and a tiger.
"Your Highness has something important to look for me?" Ma Ye asked.
Li Chengqian said: "Have you rested well, you have really suffered before, if you haven't rested well, you will not be in a hurry to rest and rest again." ”
You said so, I just didn't have a good rest, so I have to rest.
Ma Ye said with a smile: "If Your Highness has any instructions, just say that during this time, we took turns to rest for some time, and we really slept a lot of comfortable sleep." ”
This sounds a little embarrassing.
A good night's sleep is time to rest, and you can imagine what they have been through before.
But it's normal to think about it, the strength of the Ming Dynasty was not superior before, and these guys were active on the grassland, surrounded by enemies, and it was a luxury to want to sleep peacefully.
"I'm sorry for you." Li Chengqian patted Ma Ye on the shoulder.
Ma Ye immediately said: "This is what subordinates should do." ”
Li Chengqian nodded, representing his recognition of Ma Ye and the others, thought for a while, and then said: "Over there in Chishui City, this king has not moved, what do you think?" ”
Since taking Chishuiyuan, Li Chengqian has not made much action against Chishui City.
There is no way, it is Murong Shun's lair, and it is also his basic plate, most of the people in the city are his supporters, plus this guy directed and acted in a big drama of slaughtering the city before, and he took the opportunity to slaughter all the people who were dissatisfied with him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that those who are left are his diehards.
"Chishui City has a thousand defenders now." Ma Ye said, "We had some people watching there, and when the war was over, we saw that they were a little flustered, but as we didn't make any further moves, they relaxed a lot. ”
Strictly speaking, Li Chengqian has not completely controlled the entire Chishui source now, at least Chishui City has not fallen into his hands.
It's not that he didn't want to take Chishui City by the way with a big victory, it's just that Chishui City is indeed in some trouble.
The population is not large, but there are nearly 10,000 people, and the most important thing is that almost all of these people are Murong Shun's diehards.
Rashly attacking the city may cause them to resist to the death.
And the number of Li Chengqian's descendants was not large, so he was worried that the meat buns would beat the dogs, so he kept dragging them out.
Now, though, he sees an opportunity.
"For Chishui City, the siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top." Li Chengqian said, "Now, the grassland has begun to move closer to us, this king needs you to spread the truth about the original destruction of Chishui City, you can take a look in the barracks, and see if there are any people from King Ning's army who are willing to cooperate."
If they come forward to say it, it will be more credible. ”
For Chishui City, Li Chengqian actually knows very well that a strong attack is not a good way.
First, it is inevitable to lose troops and generals in the siege, and of course, it is okay to lose troops and generals.
After all, war is to serve politics, and as long as the political goal can be achieved, it is acceptable to lose some soldiers and horses.
The key is that Chishui City is the only city of scale in the entire Chishui source.
And it's still good to be located in the west of the red water source.
If Chishui City is destroyed, it will have to be repaired again, which is really a bit of a waste.
What's more, if tens of thousands of people resist to the death, it will be really a troublesome matter.
The common people of these years do have merits, but sometimes, the brain is also a real axis! This kind of die-hard fan, there is no way to move people in a few words.
A tendon in my head......
Besides, he had this idea early on, so why bother to attack.
Murong Shun's original pride in slaughtering the city and breaking ten thousand laws gave him a chance to take Chishui City without blood.
The reason why he didn't do it before was because those tribes on the grassland hadn't moved closer to him, no, as soon as those tribes on the grassland moved closer to him, he immediately put this plan on the agenda.
"This should work." Ma Ye said with a smile, "During this time, I was fooling around in the barracks when I had nothing to do, but I had some personal relations with a few Ning Wangjun soldiers, and it was estimated that it would not be difficult to move them."
Moreover, I have also learned from them that the people defending Chishui City are not Murong Shun's personal soldiers, and the reason why they are still holding up now is probably because Murong Shun is still stubbornly resisting over there, and I heard that Murong Shun wanted to break through and return to Chishui City several times, and it is estimated that he also planned to hold on to the siege. ”
"Whatever he wants." Li Chengqian said, "Our idea is to take Chishui City peacefully without using troops and horses as much as possible.
When Murong Shun was in charge of Chishuiyuan, Chishui City was not that important.
But now that we are sitting in Chishuiyuan, Chishui City is our western gateway, a border city, a military city, and a male city, so we must take it. ”
"Your Highness, look at it." Ma Ye said, "My subordinates will arrange it, and when the time comes, if those people in Chishui City know the truth about the original destruction of the city, they won't know how to scold Murong Shun."
Although they were lucky enough to survive, the shock was not light, and many of them had relatives who died in the ruined city. ”
