Chapter Ninety-Five: Unexpected
Unbeknownst to the alfalfa, their offspring will have a reduced production next year.
The fast horse had been running for less than a quarter of an hour, and he saw a different color in the middle of the green.
Small white buildings stand on the green plains.
Outside Lantian City, the nearest village is the Mongol village, and now they don't live in yurts, but all live in small three-storey buildings.
With a standard three-story building and a small building with a width of five zhang and a length of sixty zhang, the Mongol village had built twenty-four buildings, twice the size of the village of Heishi.
Most of the small buildings are sitting in the north and facing south, which can have good lighting and block the biting northwest wind.
The distance between the buildings is fifteen zhang before and after, thirty zhang on the left and right, the ground has been tamped, and there are only shallow traces of the horse's hooves stepping on it.
It's that there are a lot of thatched houses in this village, three of them are connected together, and ten groups of thirty are built, and Zhu Gaoxuan can't help but laugh when he sees this.
Barbolem is also a stubborn man, obviously a design error, and he has to force it into the style of a Mongolian village.
"His Royal Highness King Liang, are you looking for our patriarch? He got up early in the morning, and when the weather became cold, he was worried that the cattle and sheep would freeze to death. ”
When an iron tower-like aunt saw Zhu Gaoxuan, she immediately greeted her and explained.
"Don't look for Barbolem, let's just come and see, have your doors and windows been repaired?"
"Hi...... It has long been fixed. Your Highness, I'll take you to see it. ”
Saying that, the aunt put down the dustpan in her hand, wiped her hands on her body, and wanted to come up to pull Zhu Gaoxuan, but she reacted and smiled sarcastically.
"Well, the eldest lady will take this king to see."
"Hey...... Okay, Your Highness, come with me. ”
"You see, this gate is strong, it was built by those Han people who went into Helan Mountain to cut trees, it is really strong, bang......"
The aunt said and hammered it twice, making an earth-shattering sound, Zhu Gaoxuan listened to this sound, and was a little worried about her husband, whether he would not be able to stand it at night.
"Your Highness, look at this window, but we make it of felt cloth, put it down when it's cold, and lift it up when it's hot, which is very convenient.
It's just not sound, it's inconvenient at night. ”
Zhu Gaoxuan stepped forward to take a look, and there was a layer of heavy felt cloth hanging on the wooden window frame, which was indeed very warm.
As for soundproofing? Let's wait until the glass is made.
Then they went into the house to take a brief look, and there was no problem in keeping warm and cold.
Bidding farewell to this Aunt Papua, Zhu Gaoxuan and Cao Xing continued to inspect, and ran through every village.
The architectural style of all the villages is very uniform, the size of the buildings is also the same, and even the decoration is similar, which makes Zhu Gaoxuan have the illusion of returning to the 90s.
It's just that the number of buildings is a little different.
20 Aboriginal villages, with a few twenty and a large number of twenty-four; The immigrant villages are more uniform, with twelve buildings.
This also shows that the economic conditions of the people are different, if you want to give a house, you have to buy bricks and cement, and the immigrant village can build 12 buildings because Zhu Gaoxuan only lends them so much silver.
What can be built in the aboriginal villages is the building materials bought with real money.
After seeing these villages, it was already sunset in the west and about to set, Zhu Gaoxuan was originally going to see the exile camp, but was stopped by Cao Xing.
"Your Highness, I'll go again tomorrow morning, and it's a bit bad to go now."
"Why?"
"Hmm...... It's a bit miserable there. ”
"Really? Then I'm going to take a look. ”
Zhu Gaoxuan was a little curious about what the situation was in the exile camp, but he ordered that after the houses of the aborigines and migrant villages were built, the brick kilns and cement workshops would be loaned to the exile camp to start building houses.
Does anyone dare not enforce it?
The two war horses ran for a day, and they were already a little tired, and when they approached the No. 6 exile camp, the two war horses snorted from time to time, and Zhu Gaoxuan couldn't help but cover his nose.
There is an unpleasant foul odor coming into the nose.
"General Cao, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, come over here."
Cao Xing didn't say anything directly, but turned the reins and went to the right.
The stench is even stronger.
Buzzing...... Buzzing......
In the cold early winter, there are flies flying, and there are quite a few of them, and the sound can be heard from afar.
Turning around a small mountain bag, the situation in his eyes made Zhu Gaoxuan's eyes widen, and at the same time, his face was also pale, and then there was a burst of iron blue!
I saw a big pit behind the hill, and in the pit were some corpses, at least more than a dozen, all of them were stripped naked, and they were all purple and miserable.
Holding back his nausea and anger, Zhu Gaoxuan stared at the corpses with wide eyes, most of them were gray-haired old men, and there were a few small corpses, obviously babies.
"Cao Xing, what's going on?"
He didn't call General Cao anymore, but directly called his name.
"Frozen to death, sick to death. No one died in an accident. ”
Cao Xing's voice was still indifferent, and he continued:
"Not only here, but also outside the migrant village, but there are not so many, and they can be buried in time."
"This ......"
Zhu Gaoxuan suddenly realized that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and it is normal for someone to die, but it is not normal for the corpses to be piled together.
And Cao Xing seemed to know Zhu Gaoxuan's doubts, and continued:
"Such people are criminals, or relatives of criminals, and some people do not see hope, and they do not pay attention to the aftermath of themselves and their families.
Some people's hearts are already cold, and they don't care about the death of their loved ones, and some people are dead in their loved ones. ”
"It's nice to have a pit buried."
“……”
Zhu Gaoxuan was silent for a while, covered his nose and looked closer, his heart was mixed, and he couldn't bear it.
There is also a reason why he deliberately targeted, right?
It was he who made these exiles lose hope and gave up their lives.
Cao Xing's voice came again:
"Your Highness, please also remember one sentence: mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, love is not in charge, and kindness is not an official!"
Zhu Gaoxuan nodded, did not speak, but looked at the corpse pit, and recalled the true meaning of these four sentences in his heart.
"Compassion does not control the soldiers" and "righteousness does not control wealth" are from "Zengguang Xianwen".
The way to govern the army is to be both graceful and powerful, and if you are soft-hearted, you will lose the battle, so you are not in charge of the army;
People who are particularly righteous will not be able to help their friends when they are in trouble, and in the long run, no matter how much money they have, they will not be able to control their money.
"Love does not stand up" and "goodness is not an official" are just widely circulated sayings, and there is no clear source.
Decision-makers think too much about human feelings, and often bad things; If the official is too kind, he will be calculated by others.
Compassion, affection, morality, and kindness to others are all very good qualities; However, these good qualities should not be too emotional and vulgar, and only by being rational and respecting objective laws can we achieve great things with these inner qualities.
"Students are taught."
Zhu Gaoxuan, who wanted to understand, took a deep breath and bowed to Cao Xing to express his gratitude.
