Gu Yanwu lived in the inn of Gaojia Village for three days, and for three days he wandered around, desperately observing this peculiar village.

He soon discovered a huge difference between this village and other villages in the Ming Dynasty.

The people of Gaojia Village have a positive and sunny attitude towards life, they are not only alive, but also trying to live better. They also have a broad vision, and they learn about the world through "news broadcasts" every day, and then express their opinions on the world with great enthusiasm.

When they see injustices, they will collectively complain and criticize, and they will discuss how to make the country better.

And these things are often discussed in other places only by people like "officials" and "scholars".

But Gaojia Village is discussed by the whole people!

This made Gu Yanwu feel very pleased.

I couldn't help but take out a pen and inscribe a line of poetry on the wall of the main fort of Gaojia Village: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband."

Half an hour later, the Supreme Inspector of Gaojia Village appeared in front of Gu Yanwu and arrested him in the name of "scribbling and destroying public property".

Nian came from afar, didn't know the rules of Gaojia Village, and was the first offender, so he was punished lightly. He was punished for voluntary labor, repainted the walls by himself, and then cleaned the train station for half a day.

But Gu Yanwu has never learned the work of a stucco maker, and he paints the walls very hard, making himself full of flowers. I finally finished painting the wall, and I had to take a broom and keep sweeping it at the train station.

His family has 800 acres of ancestral land, and he is not short of money, so he hurriedly took out a sum of money and handed it to Fang Wushang, in a vain attempt to use the money to eliminate the disaster.

Unexpectedly, Fang Wushang was selfless, not only confiscated the money, but was furious and extended his voluntary labor for half a day.

Early the next morning, Gu Yanwu rubbed his sore muscles and boarded the train to Puzhou......-

Shanxi, Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is sandwiched between two mountains, one east and one west.

This place controls the mountains and rivers, sits on the shoulders of the world, and the strategic location is extremely important, and all dynasties have attached great importance to it.

At the height of the Ming Dynasty, the total population of Taiyuan reached 4.2 million.

But in the Chongzhen period, the drought continued, the alien invasion, the rogue raged, and the registered population of Taiyuan has dropped to less than 2 million.

Wu Fu couldn't help but weep when he saw the loss of this population.

Two million people!

What tragic fate did the two million people who disappeared suffer?

"Three stewards." Wu Fu looked at the documents in his hand and said gloomily: "Taiyuan currently has a population of nearly two million, although this official has one million taels from Tianzun in his hand, but if it is distributed to two million people, each person will only get five yuan, what should I do?"

Thirty-two smiled: "Lord Wu, you are not here to help the disaster, and these two million people, not all of them can't survive, they all want to beg you for food. You don't have to do that. You're calling it unfounded."

Wu Fu perked up: "Ah, yes!"

XXXII: "According to Tianzun's long-standing thinking, the first thing to do in developing a place is to provide jobs for the common people. As long as the people have work to do and get paid, they will have money to buy things, and all walks of life will be alive immediately. This is called a scale, although it is small, and it weighs a thousand pounds."

Wu Fu is now accustomed to the summary at the end of this guy's sentence, and he is no longer surprised: "Reasonable!"

He is also an official with practical experience, but he is not an empty talk-type scumbag official, and after his spirits were lifted, he immediately had an idea: "At this time, Jiannu has just retreated, and Taiyuan, as a northern border city, must have felt the fear of Jiannu's invasion. If the ruler proposes to build a border city at this time and provide wages, many common people will surely be happy to go there."

Thirty-two nodded: "Seconded!"

Wu Fu: "Building roads is also a top priority."

Thirty-two nodded: "If you want to get rich, build roads first."

His tone changed: "Lord Wu, don't think about it one by one, you now have a population of 2 million in your hands, a full 2 million, enough to do all the work in all walks of life

All go hand in hand. Don't think about what comes first, what comes after, what industry is important and what industry doesn't. The 2 million people are all high, and the group of blue hats I brought with me will each lead a trade, and they will go hand in hand."

Wu Fu slapped his big foot: "That's right! With such a population, what is there to be afraid of? That's it."

Taiyuan Mansion immediately started a big recruitment!

Roads, factories, cities, and militia groups were recruited......

As soon as Wu Fu came, he began to exert force.

The people of Taiyuan Mansion saw that the government listed a large number of projects, and they really didn't dare to go at first, for fear that the government would not pay them.

But soon, a rumor began to spread in Taiyuan Fucheng and the surrounding towns.

"The new governor is nicknamed Wu Million, and he brought a million taels of silver to take office."

"That guy is super rich! Have you ever seen a million taels? It's as high as a mountain."

"I heard that Wu Million knows magic skills, his money is inexhaustible, he used to be called Wu 100,000, but he spent money desperately, but the money is getting more and more. If you spend it, you will become a million."

"It's impossible for such a rich person to owe us three pounds of flour a day."

"I'm going to try a day job for him."

In these years, an inexplicable rumor is more valid than the official announcement.

The common people were soon attracted by Wu Million's prestige.

Wu Fu is a smart man, and he soon discovered that his nickname "Wu Million" was very helpful in attracting investment and recruiting workers, and winning the hearts and minds of the people. He simply sent someone to carry a million taels of sons to the city wall, and pushed them together, shining with silver light, the kind that can blind people's eyes.

Then he arranged for a special service soldier of the Gaojia village group to pretend to be a worker, saying that he had done a great job in helping him with his work.

In front of the crowd of onlookers, Wu Fu took a piece of broken silver from the pile of silver and rewarded it to the fake worker.

"He's really going to give money!"

"It's different from the other officials."

"As long as I am really paid, I dare to do any work."

"Me too!"

The news spread quickly, and the legend that Wu Million was bold and did not deceive people, and really gave money exploded in Taiyuan Mansion all of a sudden.

In just a few days, the road construction brigade had tens of thousands of workers and tens of thousands of people heading towards the northern border city to rebuild the border city and various border forts.

Under the slopes on the east and west sides of Taiyuan Fucheng, cement factories, coal mines, steel factories and other factories have also welcomed tens of thousands of workers to build at the same time.

It's in full swing, and it's a big job.

They were desperately doing things like this, and soon, the news spread into the mountains.

The homeless people in the mountains also knew.

These displaced people are actually among the 2 million people who have disappeared

part. They are no longer registered, but they still live in the world.

While they were hesitating whether this matter could be mixed, they heard the news from the thirty-two hunters who had entered the mountains: "As long as the homeless people go down to the mountain to work, they will immediately re-register their household registration and restore their white bodies. This is called reform."

As soon as the news came, the homeless people rushed out of the mountains with a bang.

The population of Taiyuan Province increased by 200,000 in an instant.
