Chapter 40 The right to rule, supreme

After Xu Wuxiang handed over 160,000 catties of corn, 200,000 catties of sweet potatoes, 200,000 catties of potatoes, and 80,000 catties of millet, he was ready to return to Dali County immediately.

In Yan'an Mansion, he couldn't stay for a moment.

At this time, the Yan'an Mansion was crowded, and the soldiers drove away the homeless people like cattle and horses, rudely filling everyone's pockets with some corn, millet, sweet potatoes, potatoes, sorghum and other foods, as long as there was enough bag, they scolded and let them follow the team on the road.

There was no good tone in the middle, but it seemed to be fairer and did not discriminate when distributing food to the people.

The migration of the people on the dry plateau to Ningxia Town is the main work content of Lantian County this winter, but in fact, the population migrating to Ningxia Town is not only the people of northern Shaanxi, at the same time, the Ming soldiers of Guyuan Town and Haiyuan Town also do not like the people under their rule, so the people of these two places also began to gather in Ningxia Town.

At the beginning, only less than 400,000 people in northern Shaanxi had to migrate, but now, it has become a large migration of 700,000 people as a whole, and so many people have to complete the migration task in just two years.

Duan Guoren's plan is linked one by one, and if one link goes wrong, this great migration will become a disaster.

Therefore, this guy is in power, and the world's most capable people have almost been exhausted.

However, only these people can complete this big plan.

Even so, according to the progress chart formulated by Xu Wuxiang, his work has not yet been completed by thirty percent, but the people of Yan'an Mansion have gathered extremely quickly in Yan'an Mansion and Dingbian County.

Because they could not collect taxes from these people, the government had forgotten them for many years, but as long as the government began to issue conscription orders, they still believed in the government as always, and did not hesitate to abandon their homeland, and were full of joy and ready to go to live in the land of fish and rice with abundant water and grass with the people sent by the government.

There is no way to do it, when this place in Yan'an Mansion has been dry for sixteen years, even the rats here are becoming scarcer, let alone the people here.

Migrating to a good place is obviously better than rebelling, this is the most simple cognition of the people in the Yan'an Mansion.

Because these displaced people have a strong need for food, this has led to a good price for the cereals that have been harvested in Lantian County this year, and they are not worried about selling them at all.

Because their only buyer is the Lantian County Government.

Lantian County is naturally not short of money, but the speed of minting copper coins and silver dollars cannot keep up with the speed at which Yunzhao spends money, so the official IOU of Lantian County appeared in Lantian County for the first time.

The interest of one and a half cents will be paid in three years.

Then, the compassionate Yun Niang was the first to come forward to buy, and the Yun family bought a full 100,000 silver dollars of government bonds, and with Yun Niang's purchase, Qin Wangfu and other wealthy households in Lantian County also paid to buy them, and the first issue of one million silver dollar bonds was snapped up, and these rich families even bought the bonds in the hands of the grain sellers with the same interest.

Although the credibility of the Lantian County government was almost made of gold, the people who held the bonds still sold their bonds to the rich people who held real money.

This made Yun Zhao very disappointed, it seems that there is a reason why ordinary people can only get rich and be safe.

When a highly creditworthy bond appears, it means that there is another currency, which is no longer the name of the physical gold and silver, but a new type of currency backed by the reputation of the Lantian County government, and this currency has the advantages of easy to carry and convenient transactions, that is, the currency itself is maintained and increased, and it will increase in value by about half a year.

His actual benefit is not only in the interest of this half, the biggest hidden benefit is that as Lantian County becomes more and more prosperous, the products are abundant, and Lantian County in order to use silver dollars, copper coins to occupy a larger market, the government mints new money day and night.

In the past, the eight hundred copper coins in Lantian County could be exchanged for one or two silver, but now, the eight hundred copper coins can only be exchanged for one silver dollar, and in Lantian County, the merchants in other places can only use their own silver to exchange silver dollars with the Lantian County government, and the exchange rate is naturally one or two silver dollars for one silver dollar.

The truth of this, the Lantian County Government will not explain it to people, but those rich people know that in this seemingly fair transaction, the Lantian County Government is about to make a fart. The stock is bubbling with oil.

Bonds are a different thing...... After repeatedly confirming that there is no scrapping deadline for this thing, there is a strange scene of using bonds as money in the market of Lantian County, especially large-denomination bonds, which are the most popular.

"Gathering the people together to live will greatly reduce the cost of the government to govern the place, accelerate the commercial activities in the population gathering area, as long as a place is rich in products, that place will easily prosper, and eventually become a Tongdu Dayi."

That's why we have to relocate people out of the middle of nowhere.

The phrase "poor mountains and bad waters" sound very rude, but in fact it is very reasonable, where there are poor mountains and bad waters, it must be a weak area of government governance, coupled with the lack of communication between people, and poverty, in order to compete for limited resources, all kinds of evil things that go against reason and humanity will occur, and the possibility of getting rid of poverty restrictions will be infinitely reduced.

The rich man in this kind of place naturally becomes the natural leader of the land, and in order to maintain his rule, then, it is easy to show signs of domination, which naturally does not benefit the poor people, and their only way to survive is to rely on the rich to survive. Slaves of other people.

There will be no obvious oppression in populated areas, and the oppression of the common people has always been the prerogative of the government, and any wealthy household who wants to get their hands on this privilege will become the target of the government.

Therefore, as you can see from the precedents of Lantian County, the laws of Lantian County are generally very lenient for ordinary people.

Since the fourth year of Chongzhen, only one hundred and forty-four people have been beheaded by Lantian County, and these people have been beheaded, all of which have reasons why they have to be beheaded.

However, in the eight years since the fourth year of Chongzhen, there were 1,783 rich landlords killed in Lantian County, of which 11 were exterminated, although these rich families also had to be killed.

However, as long as you compare them, you will find that the same crime and the scale of sentencing are completely different, and what ordinary people can pass by playing the board must be imprisoned if they are placed on the rich.

Through this, you will find that the policy of Lantian County is still based on maintaining Yunzhao's control, and they are promoting a tighter ruling system with purpose and direction.

In terms of commerce and trade, the rich are very important, but in terms of maintaining the system, ordinary people are more important, it is obvious that Lantian County has chosen to strengthen the system, rather than the comprehensive development of commerce and trade, the students who have a few taels of silver at home pay attention, and tell you what you learned in class today that you are a little bit of money and forget your parents, money, is very important to Lantian County, but it is definitely not the most important.

This is true now, and will be the case in the future, and you will be surprised to find from the knowledge I have given you that this is the foundation of Lantian County's future state, and Lantian County has been a staunch defender of this strategy from Yunzhao to Weimo Xiaoxiao.

Okay, take good notes, that's the point, it's likely to show up on your exam papers, after class! ”

After Huang Zongxi finished the lecture, he put the handout under his arm and Shi Shiran walked out of the class.

Gu Yanwu sat under a cypress tree, leisurely drinking tea, and when he saw Huang Zongxi coming out, he beckoned and signaled to drink tea and chat together.

Huang Zongxi, who had a dry mouth, drank two cups of tea in a row to quench his thirst.

Gu Yanwu said with a smile: "It's conclusive, but if you tell the bottom of the rules that others have worked so hard to establish, do you think Yun Zhao will hate you?" ”

Huang Zongxi sneered and said: "This is a conspiracy, not afraid that others will know, even if those rich people know, what if they know?" Could it be that you want to leave Lantian County and go somewhere else?

Is it better than Lantian County anywhere else? Is it easier to make money?

These people are also unprofitable and unprofitable, who is willing to invest all their net worth in Lantian County if there is no benefit?

Zhongqing, are you leaving Lantian County and going back to Yangzhou? ”

Gu Yanwu shook his head and said, "Next year is the year of Dabi, I want to try it again." ”

Huang Zongxi frowned and said, "When did you have the idea of joining the company again?" ”

Gu Yanwu sighed and said, "The bastards all over the world are bullying the emperor, I can't stand it anymore, and I'm going to help him." ”

Huang Zongxi looked at Gu Yanwu in surprise and didn't know how to comment on his words, when did the emperor become weak.

Gu Yanwu said: "Li Hongji captured Xiangyang, Zhang Bingzhong entered Shuzhong, and it seems that they both have the intention of becoming emperor, and Yun Zhao seems to be happy to see it, and there is no attempt by Cao Cao to destroy the world's heroes on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "Do you really want to see Yun Zhao do the thing of 'blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes'?" ”

Gu Yanwu said hatefully: "It's because of this that I want to join the ranks." ”

"Today, the strongest is still the emperor, and the emperor still has nearly two million soldiers and horses in his hands, why do you think that the emperor is the weakest one, do you really think that you can be admitted to the Jinshi?"

Gu Yanwu patted his chest and said: "Yun Zhaofu's poem "Thunder" said-I advise the Heavenly Lord to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern, I heard that the emperor praised this poem very much, so he also had the plan to reopen the field. ”

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "In this case, you don't have to go back to Yangzhou, go directly to Jingshi to find an apartment, wouldn't it be better to prepare for the exam with peace of mind?" ”

Gu Yanwu sneered and said, "Do you think I can't pass the exam?" ”

Huang Zongxi sighed and said: "With your talent, what is a Jinshi and the first, I am afraid that after you go to Jingshi, you will be beheaded by the emperor's order before you have time to serve the Ming Dynasty." ”

"It can't be!"

Huang Zongxi looked at Gu Yanwu and said: "Since your reputation for controlling locusts in Shanxi has spread to the north and south of the river, you and I have become traitors in the eyes of the emperor and scum among the scholars of Jiangnan. ”
