Chapter 138: The Mandate of Heaven and Use It
"Healthy women, the old and the weak are also laborers, so don't be dissatisfied, at least they are full of hope, and they rarely slack off after they have eaten enough, and they work hard every day, and they have done their best." Wang Miao said a fair word for these old and weak people.
When Ji heard this, he sat down, nodded and took out a wine jug for himself, and looked left and right secretly before taking out the wine jug, and only after making sure that there was no one did he take a sip of the spirit wine inside: "Of course I know, so ah, I'm just saying a few words verbally." ”
"Before I came here, I was a lord, and I also made more than one tour of my own fiefdom, and I know what kind of life the savages live. Although the current life is very hard, but at least you can eat enough, and you are full of hope, as long as you work to death, you will not starve to death, such a day can already be called a prosperous era in most places! ”
The scene of hard work without starvation can only be seen in the present era in a very small number of places where the government is clear and the ruling or the monarch or lord cares about the lives of the common people.
And the current Yancheng is such a place.
That's why last year, Jiang Tang and Qi Xin said that the current Yancheng has reached the world of Datong in some aspects, although this may be the world of Datong at the most primitive level, but it is moving towards the world of Datong.
This is clear to anyone who is not blind. Therefore, even if Yancheng has such and such problems in the eyes of many people, as long as this Taoist has a dream of creating a world of great harmony in his heart, then this Taoist will not say anything.
In today's world, different Taoists have different views on what the world of Datong is like.
Li Sheng, Kong Sheng, and Mo Sheng are only the leaders of the three biggest views, but the three of them also have other opinions of all kinds.
Kong Sheng was not as powerful as he is now, and when he was just a first-generation monarch and a congenital true person, he once governed the Lu State, but it didn't take long for him to fail.
Although Confucius's disciples have always washed the ground for Confucius, political ability is there, strong is strong, weak is weak, no matter how Confucius's disciples wash the floor and how they praise Confucius at that time, it can't change the fact that Confucius was finally expelled.
If it weren't for the number one master of Kong Sheng Shi Nai Lu at that time, it would be difficult to say whether Kong Sheng was expelled or killed.
Since then, the Taoists have slowly become clear about one thing: the cultivation ability of the big guy and the ability of the big guy to govern one side seem to be two different things!
"So, I'm going to help Yancheng." Ji said directly.
Wang Miao lowered her head and said curiously, "Help?" How are you going to help? Are you planning to leave the Academy and become a Taoist officer in the battle series? ”
In today's Yancheng, after most of the people from other countries came, they finally just joined the Academy, became a doctor or a sacrificial wine, and then looked for like-minded people, opened a project together, and then continued to work hard around the project.
Those who directly join the Dao team and are responsible for the battle are relatively rare. Most of them are mainly doctors and Taoist priests, and very few of them directly join the combat team.
"Didn't the dude join a long time ago? Why, I'm going to join, and you're still against it? ”
"I, of course I don't object, but I think it's a waste to fight and kill on the battlefield with your ability."
"Like me, after the Fengfeng Clan, the water line has become a great success, and the wind line has also been completed recently, so after the lord discussed it with me, he simply didn't let me be in charge of the battle."
Speaking of this, Wang Miao looked to the east of Dongning Island, and the sun had just risen at this moment.
"The Lord has given me a more important task, a task that has something to do with combat, but it is not a direct battle with people, and it is also very important, for me, this task is also very challenging, but it is very meaningful, and I intend to work hard to complete it."
"Now, I am still communicating and designing with the Lord about this task, and the Lord is also full of confidence, the war has begun, but he is still thinking about the new task. Although the new mission is also very important, it also shows that the Lord is indeed full of confidence! ”
Hearing this, Ji became even more curious: "So, what is your new mission?" Tell me about it? ”
Wang Miao laughed a few times: "Things have to start a few days ago. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Miao began to recall the past, and the time went back to a few days ago, the day before the spring ploughing began:
"Wang Daoyou is still used to coming to Yancheng for so long?"
"Habits, habits, eating and living here are used to it, there is nothing not used to it. After all, I was also born as a savage back then, and I also suffered a lot when I was a child, and now I can eat and dress myself every day in Yancheng. The most important thing is that the dried fish tube is enough! Salted fish is enough, and this kind of life is actually very good. ”
Looking at the smile on Wang Miao's face, Jiang Hua knew that this was a qi refiner who really didn't feel that he was superior.
This kind of qi refiner, Jiang Hua likes it very much.
As for the kind of qi refiner who feels that he is superior, as long as he is willing to be loyal to Yancheng, Jiang Hua also likes it.
As for the issue of mentality, it can only be said that people have their own aspirations, and they do not force them for the time being, and seek common ground while reserving differences.
As a sovereign, what you want is to know people and be good at your duties.
A qi refiner who feels that he is superior to others, then let him not be responsible for things related to the people at the bottom, let him be responsible for what he is good at.
This is what the lord should do, know people well, and learn from Liu Bangduo in this regard.
Jiang Hua nodded: "Yancheng is not enough, this dried fish, salted fish and fish floss and the like are indeed enough!" ”
What is the most in the sea?
In addition to seawater, there are seafood such as marine fish and kelp.
Needless to say, the value of sea salt is self-evident, Yancheng has relied on the sea to eat the sea for 800 years, and the main food is sea salt and salted fish.
At that time, the salted fish in Yancheng was hard currency in the entire five eastern counties, and it could be directly used as private salt.
After opening up Dongning Island, Jiang Hua organized some warlocks who understood the true meaning of water to be responsible for fishing. You don't have to deliberately catch the big fish that have become fine, just target the ordinary marine fish in the sea.
These fleets, often with a spell from the water warlocks, directly caught thousands of catties of sea fish, and every time they returned from overseas, they could bring at least tens of thousands or even 100,000 catties of sea fish.
The next step is to organize people to quickly make these sea fish into salted fish, otherwise they will spoil and rot after a long time.
You don't need to spend too much on warlocks and Taoist priests at all, and you can catch hundreds of thousands of catties of sea fish every day.
Especially after becoming proficient, a well-coordinated Dao team plus a fleet of ships can harvest extremely amazingly every day.
Today, several small ports have been built on the island for these fishing teams. In the vicinity of each port, there are rudimentary salted fish factories, and a large number of old and weak people make salted fish in these factories every day.
In today's Yancheng, there are not many others, but the salted fish is really enough!
Sea salt, too, is directly enough!
Many Chinese people after the initial enthusiasm, no longer eat much sea fish, eat every day, at the beginning of the very interested and curious, a day to eat a dozen catties, to the end of the direct food tired, now only occasionally eat.
But for many savages, even if they are tired of eating, they are much happier than not having to eat, and they are not picky eaters at all.
"It's true that there are too many fish in the sea, and the Kraken weighs much heavier than the youkai on land."
"An ordinary goblin on land may only be a few hundred catties, a small demon is only a few thousand catties, and a big demon is only tens of thousands of catties."
"But in this sea, not to mention thousands of catties of goblins, even tens of thousands of catties of goblins can be seen everywhere, and millions of catties of big demons are everywhere. Last month, I inadvertently killed a big demon in the sea, the body of this big demon weighed more than three million catties, and I sold the rest after removing a few places that were very valuable for research. Fortunately, the most important thing in Yancheng today is the rich, otherwise, I don't know when I will sell it. ”
Ordinary meat, if it is pork, only costs ten dollars a catty. And the meat of the demon beast starts at a pound of 100 yuan. The meat of the big demon starts with a thousand pounds. Although the quality of the kraken's meat and the various values of the meat are not as good as those of the big demons on land, so that they are cheaper, they can also be sold for three hundred yuan a catty.
At the beginning, the big demon of more than 3 million catties, Wang Miao directly sold it for one billion dollars!
With so much money, it's the first time I've seen Wang Miao after living for so many years!
Since then, Wang Miao's love for Yancheng has gone to the next level, and without saying a word, he applied to join the Daofa team that specializes in combat.
However, the billion money did not stay in Wang Miao's hands for long.
First of all, when it arrived, one billion dollars were exchanged for 100,000 taels of sands. This is to prevent the exchange of too many copper coins in one go, which will affect the normal life and transactions of the common people.
Secondly, not long after he got it, Wang Miao spent 90,000 taels of golden sand, which were used to purchase various magic weapons and magic weapons that he liked.
Money is not spent at all!
However, since then, Wang Miao has had the habit of catching krakens.
Ordinary people can't catch the kraken in the sea, the kraken controls the currents in the depths of the sea, and the combat effectiveness in the depths of the sea is extremely strong, and ordinary Taoist priests can't catch it at all without careful preparation!
Looking at Wang Miao's happy expression, Jiang Hua nodded silently in his heart: Yancheng's favorite is this kind of simple Taoist.
Many Taoists like to seek the Tao, like to engage in research, and like all kinds of Taoist supernatural powers, which is normal. If you just like these, you will be silently marked as a simple seeker by Yancheng.
Most of these seekers are relatively easy to deal with, relatively easy to satisfy, easy to communicate, and in a sense, they are relatively pure.
Pure seekers, Yancheng welcomes and likes.
But some Taoists are vegetable and fun-loving!
The ability to govern one side is not completely zero, but it is not very good, but there is always a heart in my heart to be too guarded, and the county makes people feel that it is too small and cannot be looked down upon!
What I like most is to point out: if I'm in a certain position, I'm going to be balabala......
I'll do it too!
Then whoever looks at it can't do it!
Some people are just addicted to it, but some people are serious, they seriously give advice to Yancheng and seriously make suggestions to Taishoufu.
If these guys who make suggestions don't have cultivation, then just treat their suggestions as waste paper and throw them away. But they are strong in cultivation, and they insist on their personal philosophy, they always feel that they are right, in the face of this kind of guy, Taishoufu has a headache, and Jun Chengyu has begun to lose his hair because of this.
In the end, Jiang Hua made a suggestion: directly suggest that they go to a certain township or village, let them seal their mana, and try it for a few days as a township or village chief without relying on their strength. Even if there are any bad consequences, with their cultivation, they can afford to compensate for it in the future.
At present, there are really people who are ready to agree, but they don't know what the future ending will look like.
After thinking about those guys and looking at Wang Miao in front of him, Jiang Hua was even more satisfied.
"Wang Daoyou, here's the thing, there is a task that suits you very well. This is a very important task for Dongning Island. Thinking about it, only you are the most suitable person. ”
"Oh? You can say that as long as I can do it, I will do my best. As she spoke, Wang Miao patted her chest vigorously. It can be seen that he is really sincere. It can also be seen that he really doesn't have any city government.
Also, the Fangfeng clan didn't have any city government back then, otherwise, it would not have been killed by Dayu as a typical example......
"Now that Dongning Island has opened up the land of five counties, the entire Dongning Island will be included in the territory of Yancheng in the future. But nowadays, Dongning Island has ocean currents and windy weather every year. There are often tides, torrential rains, floods, and strong winds, each of which can seriously affect the whole of Dongning Island. ”
"Agriculture, in particular, has been particularly affected. If, at the time of the harvest, a violent wind is suddenly born that sweeps the entire Dongning Island and the nearby seas, it will be a disaster! ”
"In the past, in the face of natural disasters of this scale, you either directly cast a spell to forcibly interrupt the natural disaster, or directly accepted your fate and ran away early, and people were lucky if they were fine."
"But now that we Daoists are here, we must bow to us due to natural disasters, otherwise, what kind of Dao law has entered our lives?"
"Over the years, I have also observed some hydrological and weather information, but on the whole, it is very lacking, and these past data cannot provide much effective reference."
"Considering your special bloodline and your cultivation of Daoyou, Gu plans to establish a special celestial and hydrological institution."
"This organization is first responsible for studying the changes in ocean currents and tides, changes in water vitality, changes in wind vitality, and changes in strong winds and strong winds in the entire 3,000-mile radius of Dongning Island."
"For example, when a strong wind rises, what are the characteristics of the surrounding wind? What's changed? If you want to destroy this gale, which part of the Yuan Qi structure is easier to destroy? ”
"When a tide rises, what is the change in the vitality of the water? Is it possible to find a pattern between the flow of water and the change of tides? ”
"In addition, should we have a set of simple and clear weights and measures to define and describe the different levels of winds and tides? This also requires you to study slowly. ”
"When one day we can find the specific law in it, it will be when we will use it for the destiny of heaven!"
