From Jingshi to Xiangshan County, he has not seen the cement official road. Even before he was arrested, he had heard that he was going to use cement to repair the official road, but even in Jingshi, he didn't see it.

Perhaps, there is a cement official road in Beijing, but it is not an official road to the south.

However, in this Xiangshan County, which should be very remote, it is impossible to see the cement official road, but he saw this legendary official road, hard, the rainy season in Guangdong is coming, this kind of road should not be muddy, right?

Thinking like this, Zhu Liangzu came up with a question, where did the little Xiangshan County get so much money to repair the cement official road?

Seriously, he was a little curious.

However, his identity was soon discovered, and it immediately attracted a wave of onlookers.

"Come and see, the original Yongjiahou has arrived in our county!"

"Just by him, he also wants to fight with our colt master, it's really beyond his strength!"

"It's not, in the past, this guy led the cavalry army to come to our Xiangshan County to show off his might, thinking that our Xiangshan County was the same as Panyu County, but it didn't turn out to be gray and run away!"

"It's a loss that His Royal Highness King Yan led our most elite sailors of the Ming Dynasty to arrive in time, otherwise, if the pirate really came ashore, he should be cut by a thousand knives under the court's questioning!"

“……”

The people here in Xiangshan County didn't spit on it, but their words were like sharp arrows, piercing into Zhu Liangzu's heart.

Xiangshan County is a place of shame for him. Even the people here have contempt for him in their words.

The dignified hereditary marquis finally fell to this point and was despised by ordinary grass people!

He wanted to be angry, but he couldn't. After passing through Guangzhou and Panyu, he has already experienced the consequences of facing so many grass people in his identity at this time.

In the end, Zhu Liangzu could only hold his head high in order to maintain the majesty of his former marquis.

"Hey, why do they stink so much?"

"Can it not stink? Now it's just a thief with an army, and you think he's the original Hou Ye? ”

"Don't you know? As far as he used to do good things in Guangzhou and Panyu County, everyone shouted and beaten, and was chased and spat by the people, can it not stink? ”

“……”

Zhu Liangzu listened to these words, his momentum was discharged, and his steps became faster and faster, thinking about getting to his destination as soon as possible. Although these people in Xiangshan County don't spit on him, those words are too heart-wrenching.

His destination was the Thousand Households of Xiangshan County, where he became a thief with the lowest status.

Once, he led the troops to Xiangshan County, Qi Xiang was just a thousand households, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, but now, he has become the one who decides his fate.

Zhu Liangzu was ready to be tortured every day, but who knows, Qi Xiang just asked him to guard the north gate of Xiangshan County.

Although this job is easy, people who come and go every day, in and out, can see what the original Hou Ye is like now.

In the beginning, everyone who went in and out of the city would point fingers at him; And he is still trying to maintain his dignity.

Later, the people who entered and exited the city gate chose to ignore him and no longer pay attention to him. Zhu Liangzu's self-esteem, which used to be a marquis, was also consumed day after day.

When the wind comes and the rain goes, he just becomes a real ordinary person. Even if he was once a commanding general, his water chestnut and arrogance have been worn away by time.

After coming to Xiangshan County for a long time, he finally heard about the matter of the county order and knew the changes in Xiangshan County.

Seriously, he led his troops to fight in the south and the north, and he has been to an unknown number of places, and with his eyes, he can see that even if he is a Jingshi, I am afraid that there is no vitality here!

The people here are full of hope, everyone is motivated, and the changes that are visible to the naked eye are witnessed by him, the gatekeeper.

Xiangshan County has long been crowded with people, but outsiders are still flocking to Xiangshan County, no, many thatched houses have been erected outside Xiangshan County. With Zhu Liangzu's vision, maybe the city wall of Xiangshan County must be expanded.

But he was wrong about this.

The situation outside the city, Zhang Yifan has actually seen it. No, he summoned the county officials to discuss the matter.

I only heard him say: "Summer and autumn are hurricane seasons here in Guangdong, and wind disasters may come at any time. The thatched houses in the county need to be rebuilt with cement. Therefore, the Governor decided to publish a decision ......"

Because of the large number of infrastructure needs in Xiangshan County and the free construction team composed of pirates, Zhang Yifan expanded the cement workshop early, which further increased the cement output and reduced the price of selling to the outside world.

The people who got rich first in Xiangshan County have already bought cement to build their own houses and changed their thatched houses.

After all, housing is a rigid need, no matter what era it is.

However, Xiangshan County used to be too poor, and most of the people lived in thatched houses, with a large base, and now there are still a considerable number of people living in thatched houses.

What Zhang Yifan announced was that Xiangshan County Qianzhuang issued a policy to give people with household registration in Xiangshan County a loan for building a house, which was divided into several grades.

The first tranche, low-interest loans, that is, the interest rate is lower than that of ordinary loans, and the difference in interest is paid by the county government;

The second tranche, interest-free loans, that is, only the principal needs to be repaid within the specified time, and the interest is repaid by the yamen.

The third level is that the government will take out a loan to rebuild the cement house for free.

These three grades need to be reviewed, and only those who meet the requirements can do so. For example, in the free category, there is no adult labor in the family, or the family income is lower than the amount, that is, the poor household.

Regarding this, it is not that Zhang Yifan is original and wants to make a reputation, but Zhu Yuanzhang has stipulated that the local government must establish a nursing home, and the elderly and widows can be provided for free for the elderly, and even after the court officials arrive at the place, they must first go to the nursing home to offer condolences.

After Zhang San heard this, he reminded Zhang Yifan: "Master Horse, although these things are indeed good things for us in Xiangshan County, this is also a lot of expenditure!" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, smiled and said: "In the three years that this official has been in Xiangshan County, he does not need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and there are a lot of profits from officials and businessmen such as salt shops, money houses, and fleets, which are enough to use, so there is no need to worry!" ”

It should be that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think that a remote inferior county could have a lot of money, so when he asked Zhang Yifan to come over to open the Special Economic Zone, he was directly exempted from paying taxes in Xiangshan County, which made Zhang Yifan cheaper.

In addition, the salt shop makes the most money, followed by the cement workshop and the money house, and the passenger and freight fleets are also net profit, and the fishing boat is also profitable.

In this way, in terms of the income of a county, Xiangshan County is estimated to be the most profitable county in the entire Ming Dynasty, and there is no one.

However, Zhang San and the others didn't know the general ledger, which was mastered by Zhu Jingjing.

Of course, if you really want to talk about it, the largest wealth income in Xiangshan County is still given by Zhu Di, that is, more than 20,000 pirate population and their ships, which is the big head.

Therefore, Zhang Yifan has enough capital to do what he wants to do.

At this time, I heard Zhang Yifan continue: "The county seat is no longer enough, and the official does not want to let migrant workers build thatched houses outside the city, so he plans to plan the zoning outside the city and build it in a unified manner, dividing it into traffic areas, including water transport wharves and land horse stations; The fresh food area, including aquatic products, is sold again; Department stores and food and beverage areas. After the construction was completed, all the shops in the city were to be moved, and only the houses and school areas remained in the city. ”

In terms of function, this has not been done before. Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of future generations, the entire county is equivalent to a small community.

The reason for this planning is that the original county seat is too small, and the influx of population makes the city very congested and traffic jams, which causes various problems and fire hazards.

"Master Pony, what if the shops in the city refuse to move?"

"It's simple, increase the tax on opening a store in the city, add sanitation fees, fire prevention fees, business taxes, etc., you can bear it, you can do it if you don't move, and the official won't use it."

When ......the people in the county government heard this, they were all speechless.

According to this approach, it is actually similar to using strong, right?

In fact, with Zhang Yifan's current prestige, there will be no problem in what he does, but he just wants to save face.

After Zhang Yifan said this, he began to say what he was most concerned about: "Now the life of the people of Xiangshan County is okay, so the next eleven squares must set up a social school as soon as possible, as long as the age is appropriate, both men and women can enroll." Household registration in Xiangshan County is free of charge. In addition, there will be a scholarship for both non-local and local students, as long as they excel in their studies, they can be rewarded with 10 to 10 consistent money every year. ”

When they heard this, everyone was surprised. If this is the material for reading, the money is better than the prime-age labor of the family!

With this scholarship, isn't that the kind where every family will send their children to study social studies, and if they don't read well, they will be spanked?

They were thinking about it, Zhang Yifan continued: "In addition to the county school, there is another library pavilion, hundreds of schools, any book, as long as it is approved, can be collected, pay the collection fee." There is no restriction on household registration, and all books can be borrowed. ”

Originally, Zhang Yifan planned to teach natural sciences in school, such as mathematics and physics. But considering that he has only been here for less than three years, and learning is a long-term process. If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't agree, the curriculum he set up at school would be gone quickly.

After all, in this era, studying is for the sake of becoming officials, and forcing them to study natural science, which is still full of uncertainties, may not necessarily be motivated.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Yifan decided to build a library first, put natural science in it first, and guide those who want to learn to learn.

In the past, Xiangshan County was poor, so there was no way to do education. But now it's different, and you can do more in the area of education.

Originally, he wanted to do more, but some of them, even if they were special zones, still needed the approval of his father-in-law, so he was still waiting for a reply.

Zhang Yifan is just a little strange, according to past experience, the music on his side is sent to Jingshi, and usually Zhu Yuanzhang's side will reply quickly.

It's just that I don't know why, this time it seems a little late.

In this regard, he didn't care much, anyway, it was far away from the Beijing Division, even if he wanted to, he couldn't manage it.

After the county government meeting, when the vigorous infrastructure construction was carried out again, Zhang Yifan put on civilian clothes and went to the north gate under the escort of Zhu Wu and others.

However, Xiangshan County is too small, Zhang Yifan has shown his face in public many times, plus he is handsome at a young age, and there are guards behind him, even if he is wearing civilian clothes, he is recognized by the people at once.

As a result, the greetings of the "master of the horses" along the way have not been broken.

So much so that Zhu Liangzu, who was a janitor, saw him for the first time.

It's been so long, Zhu Liangzu has actually seen horses a few times, but at that time, Zhang Yifan was wearing official uniforms, and a large number of people were huddled out of the city or into the city.

This time, he saw the colt in civilian clothes and not riding a horse, coming to the city gate, and for some reason, his first feeling was that the colt had come to him.

After having this awareness, Zhu Liangzu originally thought that he would be calm and disdainful. At least when he had seen the horses coming in and out, he had been.

But this time, he was visibly nervous when he saw the pony getting closer and closer to him, and as if it was really coming at him.

Zhang Yifan did come to Zhu Liangzu, but he didn't want to take revenge on him, but felt that Zhu Liangzu was a little pity.

If you are a hero of the founding of the country, you will be ranked 27th among the founding heroes of the country, and you will be awarded the title of hereditary marquis, the kind with iron coupons.

After coming to Zhu Liangzu, he stood still and looked at Zhu Liangzu.

As a result, Zhu Liangzu even pretended not to find him, just lowered his head and looked at the ground.

Zhang Yifan took a look, there was nothing on the ground, not even ants.

The two remained silent for a while, and neither spoke.

Zhu Wu is now used to it, and knows that the horse does not need him to jump out first to be a villain, and then the horse to be a good person, so he didn't speak.

After a while, Zhang Yifan finally spoke: "Originally, I thought that after all, I wanted to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that I could also play to Your Majesty and intercede for you." Although it may not restore your glory and wealth, at least it will make you suffer less. But I find that you don't seem to need it, and you're used to being a gatekeeper, so that's a lot of trouble for me! ”

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as Zhang Yifan turned around, he heard a hurried voice behind him: "Wait! ”

Zhang Yifan heard Zhu Liangzu's voice, and laughed secretly in his heart, grinding his temperament for so long, he was really not afraid that he would ignore him.

So, he turned to look again.

At this time, Zhu Liangzu had already raised his head, but his expression was a little complicated, and he looked at Zhang Yifan and said, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Zhang Yifan listened and said lightly: "If you really want to talk about it, it won't be considered to help you." I'm just thinking about the Ming Dynasty, and I think you still have some use. If it works, use it; It can't be used, why should I care about you, we are not friends! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Liangzu was a little relieved, and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but said to him: "You go to wash up first, and then go to the No. 1 private room of Xiangshan Ju to find me, I'm hungry, go eat something first." ”

After that, he left.

When Zhu Liangzu saw it, he wanted to stop him, but in the end, he looked down at himself and looked sloppy, but he still sighed and didn't call out.

Xiangshanju is a restaurant run by the county government official, and it should be regarded as one of the best restaurants in Xiangshan County.

The braised chicken here is a must, and the locals also call it princess chicken.

Of course, this is definitely not meant to be demeaning, but this practice comes from Her Royal Highness the Princess; They actually didn't know that the original source was actually Zhang Yifan's side, when he was closed because of cowpox, he taught Princess Lin'an, Zhu Jingjing made food, and it was better than blue out of blue, and the official restaurant, Zhu Jingjing came to show his hand.

Zhang Yifan ordered a table, and there was a braised chicken in the mud, and Zhu Wu and others were eating, and Zhu Liangzu arrived.

The clothes are ordinary clothes, with patches, and in terms of clothing, I really can't see what the Hou Ye looked like back then.

"Let's sit down and eat together, and talk while eating!" Zhang Yifan pointed to the vacant seat and said to him.

Zhu Liangzu was a little surprised to see that Zhu Wu and the others were eating at the same table as the horses.

When he was the marquis, who dared to share a table with him?

Maybe Zhu Wu and the others were eating, but he didn't care anymore, he didn't say a word, sat down and started eating.

Zhang Yifan found that at the beginning, he was still a little particular about eating, and he seemed to have the shadow of being a marquis back then, but while eating, he devoured it.

He didn't laugh at him, but after he had eaten about the same, he said: "Xiangshan County is a special zone, and special affairs are handled, I believe you know." ”

Hearing the horse speak, Zhu Liangzu looked up at him.

"In Xiangshan County, there is no hereditary household registration, including military households. The compulsory military service system is adopted, that is to say, those who are registered in Xiangshan County have the obligation to be a soldier as long as they are of the right age, and after the expiration of the term, they can choose not to be a soldier and continue to be a soldier......"

Zhu Liangzu was listening, a little puzzled in his heart, I don't know what this has to do with him?

Next, Zhang Yifan said to the point: "The difference between this compulsory military service system and hereditary military households, I won't talk about the benefits, there are shortcomings, that is, the ability of the generals, I'm afraid it will not be as good as the hereditary military households." Therefore, I would like to set up a military hall and select someone who has the ability to serve as the head of the sect, so as to solve the shortcomings of the compulsory military service system. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed at Zhu Liangzu with chopsticks and said: "You are the most capable of me in Xiangshan County in this regard, and it is a pity to bury it like this, are you interested in being the head of this sect?" First of all, you are still a prisoner, so there will be no corresponding treatment, but if you can teach well, I can use your achievements to report to Your Majesty and show you merit. As for what will happen in the end, I can't promise you. ”

After finishing speaking, he saw that Zhu Liangzu was obviously hesitant, so he said to him again: "This is because cooperation is beneficial for both parties, I can make up for the defects of the compulsory military service system, and you can still prove to Your Majesty that you are still useful, loyal to Your Majesty, and able to do things for Your Majesty." ”
