Chapter 125 Man lives by breath

If it's a wolf, it must eat meat.

In many cases, the government is actually a wolf, and it is the wolf king of the wolf pack.

Of course, the wolf king has the obligation to lead the wolves to eat well, and he also has the obligation to eat the sick and weak sheep in the flock in order to maintain the healthy growth of the flock.

That's what Xia Wanchun did.

Pigs and sheep are too fat and not conducive to growth, so it is necessary to choose the choice of pigs and sheep not to be too fat, which is also one of his duties.

A single one or two pigs and sheep are fattened, which has little effect on the Lantian Imperial Court, and only one or two pigs and sheep into a large group of pigs and sheep will have a little significance for the Lantian Imperial Court.

In the early days, it was necessary to cultivate commerce, which was a way to make the people get rich quickly.

For the time being, the Lantian Imperial Court still needs more businessmen to participate in the operation in order to save the poor people from the past disasters.

Therefore, it has become a matter of course for the businessmen of Yangzhou to divide their families.

The government also needs the officials to work hard, and where the management is not good, the people will not have a good life, and it is not uncommon to watch the gold and silver mountains to beg for food.

A well-run place, even if it is poor and bad, can make the people under its rule rich.

None of the officials who came out of Yushan Academy were purely academics and eventually became Fumin officials, and all the scholars went to the relevant institutions where scholars were treated, and those who could be Fumin officials were all people who could not do a good job of learning.

Therefore, in the Lantian Imperial Court, the first-class people seem to always be scholars, they have the highest status, the most lucrative income, and the most care.

The Yulu taught by a Yushan Academy is basically the same as the Yulu of a county order.

The salary of a professor of Yushan Academy is basically the same as that of the prefect.

As for how much money can be paid by the researchers in the Yushan Martial Arts Research Institute, Yushan Medical College, Yushan Agricultural College, and Yushan Gewu Academy, outsiders generally don't know, they only know the researchers of the Gewu Academy who operate the big teapot, everyone has a luxurious courtyard in Yushan City, and the food and clothing of the family are definitely comparable to very people.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's Lantian Imperial Court, the financial expenditure and income were very disproportionate.

The financial expenditure of 69 million silver dollars has unanimously emptied the financial resources accumulated in Guanzhong for many years.

As a result, in the first year of Xinhua, after the deliberation of the congress, the Lantian Imperial Court once again injected 87.65 million silver dollars into the poor Great Tomorrow to develop agriculture, water conservancy, and redeem the people who were in despair.

Since ancient times, only the imperial dynasty has taken money from the hands of the people, and there has ever been a reason to take money from the hands of the dynasty.

For many years, people thought that it was a matter of course to farm land and pay imperial grain, but now it has become a matter of imperial grain to compensate the people, which makes the people of the Great Tomorrow have more expectations for this new dynasty.

The governor, the county commander personally went out to teach the farmers, the governor, the county commander personally came forward to encourage the people to do business, and the county commander went out to encourage the people to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, pigs, sheep, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and mobilized all forces to let the people get out of poverty.

The eyes of the officials sent by the Lantian Imperial Court with interests have turned red, so the people who have just owned their own land have a new enthusiasm for the land.

Early spring starts in Guangzhou, where the difference between early spring and winter is not very large, and only the buffaloes who are the first to enter the paddy fields know the difference between spring and winter.

When the rice fields here are full of seedlings, spring shifts all the way north.

Everywhere he went, he blew green willows and crumpled the spring water.

In the barren fields, large groups of farmers finally appeared, driving their cattle and began to sow the first seeds of the new year into the soil.

It is strange to say, the various disasters that have ravaged the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years in a row, disappeared without a trace in the first year of Xinhua, in the past, the spring rain that was as expensive as oil, this time a large area appeared in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

The next one is endless.

Xu Wu wanted to imagine that the plague disaster was not in the gradually warming north. appeared in the capital, which made him want to go to the Temple of Heaven to kowtow, and thank God for finally sparing this calamitous city.

Zuo Maodi walked through the Zhengyang Gate with his hands behind his back, and above his head, two swallows chirped, crossed the Zhengyang Gate, and left the city to go to the countryside.

Today, on Zhengyangmen Street, there are obviously eleven more shops, although there are six bamboo strips, Zuo Maodi is still very happy, spring is coming, Vientiane is renewed, people will always have some changes.

Even if there have been too many disasters in the past, the past will eventually pass.

Listening to the sound of reading aloud from the school, Zuo Maodi was very sure that a new prosperous era would soon come.

As a fellow acquaintance of Shuntianfu, he naturally knew how much effort and money the Lantian Imperial Court had invested in making the city prosperous again.

The Shuntian Mansion is on the street of Zhengyangmen, every day, the sun rises from the Zhengyangmen, and the first rays of sunlight will surely shine on the main hall of the Shuntian Mansion.

He also hopes that this disaster-ridden city can get out of the haze of the past and return to normal as soon as possible.

Xu Wu thought that Zuo Maodi, the two most important bureaucrats in Shuntian Mansion, never expected that the key to the revitalization of Shuntian Mansion was not in Shuntian Mansion, but in Shanhaiguan!

When Li Dingguo's army confronted Wu Sangui and Li Hongji at a stone, there was no life in Shuntianfu, and people habitually believed that the officers and soldiers could not stop the Jiannu or the enemy from the north.

When Li Dingguo took Shanhaiguan, the people in the capital finally had a trace of vitality.

When Li Dingguo's army advanced the battle line to Motianling inch by inch, there were finally people in Shuntianfu who were willing to stand up and really start doing things.

Jiannu brought too many unbearable memories to the people of Shuntianfu, and now, with the rumbling cannon sound of Li Dingguo, they have gradually disappeared from people's hearts.

The sun fell on Xu Wuxiang's face full of pockmarks, there was an indescribable weirdness, but he enjoyed it very much, when Zuo Maodi walked in, Xu Wuxiang still didn't move, pointing and waving his hand, signaling Zuo Maodi to enjoy this rare sunshine with him.

"I've checked, and the land of Miyun can indeed build a reservoir."

Xu Wuxiang waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about these official duties, you and my brother should enjoy a little more, spring sowing is about to start, whether the capital can get out of this catastrophe, spring sowing is too important." ”

Zuo Maodi sighed, and sat down on the first chair on his left, the sun just shone on his head, which made his head appear full of wisdom and radiance.

"Only a vibrant field can soothe those who are hurting."

Zuo Maodi is still chattering.

Xu Wu thought: "The human factor is no longer important, no matter how great the pain is, it will eventually turn into memories with the passage of time, it is important to live in the present, and it is important to live in tomorrow." ”

"The people of Shuntian Mansion finally remembered that our Yamen applied for their own land, these days, Cangcao is busy and has almost no time to rest, Cao Yun has finally played a role, next, how is Fu Zun going to deal with those people of the Cao Gang?"

Xu Wuxiang sneered and said: "If they are willing to contribute to the country honestly, the official doesn't mind giving them a little sweetness to taste, if they still think that they are an indispensable group of people, then don't blame me for being ruthless and lazy." ”

Zuo Maodi frowned and said: "Don't blindly exert pressure, the combination of grace and power is the king, and we can't do without Caoyun at present." ”

Xu Wuxiang sneered and said, "Can't leave? Brother Zuo has lived in Chang'an for a short time, hasn't he ever taken the train of Yushan Academy? ”

"Trains?"

"That's right, it's a train, once we connect the railway from the southeast to Shuntianfu, this railway will deliver all kinds of materials to Shuntianfu rain or shine, and it's no longer a problem."

Zuo Maodi shook his head and said: "The railway is too far, and the transportation is too close, so we can't choose." ”

Xu Wuxiang laughed and said: "In the past, the reason why Caoyun was important was because Shuntianfu was an important place in Gyeonggi and a major place in the country, so the demand for grain and straw was almost endless.

The current Shuntianfu is no longer the important land of Gyeonggi, General Li Dingguo's grain and straw logistics come from Shanxi, and it has nothing to do with our Shuntianfu, and now, the population of Suncheonfu has plummeted by forty percent, plus there are many fertile fields around Gyeonggi, if Suncheonfu can't even support itself, I Xu Wu thinks that I will not have the face to see Your Majesty again. ”

After listening to Xu Wuxiang's words, Zuo Maodi sighed lightly, stood up and left the main hall of the mansion.

Not a day can be wasted, and the prison clearance work he is responsible for is not yet finished, and there is no extra time to waste in the sun.

A group of officials walked in from the side door, holding all the things needed to "fight spring cattle".

Xu Wu wanted to get down from his seat, and opened his arms to let the servants tie some colorful strips of cloth to his body.

A spring cow made of wheat straw has been placed under the lobby.

Xu Wu thought of the government office, and the officials carried the spring ox, Xu Wu wanted to dance while shouting and walking towards the farmland outside the Zhengyang Gate.

The spring fields had just been watered by a spring rain, the land was moist, exuding a strong earthy smell, a colorful spring cow came out of the Zhengyang Gate, and the farmers gathered at the city gate immediately became excited.

A dark-faced farmer shook the ribbon tied in his hair and shouted, "Spring cow out of the city!" ”

Soon, more people began to shout the same thing.

The leather whip in Xu Wuxiang's hand fell on Chunniu's buttocks again and again, shouting over and over again, "Diligent Niu!" ”

His voice was like magic, and it touched the hearts of the people present.

"Diligent cow!"

This voice had not been here for a long time, and the shouting of this voice was finally thrown into the clouds, and it seemed that the heavens really heard the shouts of the people.

After the clouds obscured the morning sun, rain and mist drifted in the sky, and in the distance of the field, a dark apricot tree slowly bloomed the first apricot blossom of this spring.
