Chapter 130: Twenty thousand
Zhang Juzheng and Hai Juzheng's ideas of being officials are different, although they are both avoiding corrupt officials and dislike land annexation, but fundamentally, their ideas are too different.
Hai Jui is a textbook official, in addition to strictly abiding by traditional morality, he also has superb governance methods, unparalleled flexibility and the courage to envy and hate, but he cannot be the first assistant or prime minister, he is a first-class official, but he does not have the ability to coordinate and command hundreds of officials.
As for Zhang Juzheng, there is no need to say much about his talent, there are few people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can surpass him, and he does not value private morality, and even in his position, private morality is for politics.
His way of being an official has nothing to do with personal morality, it is more like starving all over the outside, even if you are an official, even if you drink water and eat rotten vegetables all day long, you are not a good official; Under the rule, the people are rich and have surplus food, and even if you are an official, you are still a good official even if you are a big fish, a big man, listening to songs and enjoying songs.
But from Chen Mu's own point of view, he thinks that both kinds of people are not bad, especially these two people, both of them can make the people live a good life, but the difference is that the former often suffers when he is alive, and he will be praised when he dies; The latter lived to be praised, and when he died, he began to suffer.
Zou Yuanbiao's footsteps came from far and near, this Ming Dynasty jinshi was accustomed to the relatively relaxed attitude of the Oriental Military Mansion's Asian Economic Strategy towards him, and he was not really angry when he scolded ten thousand times, and the etiquette was more casual, and the sound had already come before people entered the room.
"Dashuai, the small county has raised 60,000 stones of grain and grass, as long as it is 12 more from Xiyi, no, 100,000 stones can survive this ......"
Chen Mu squinted his eyes and looked at Zou Yuanbiao, this guy has been getting more and more floating recently, do you see the words he uses? Erroneous?
What is falsehood?
Can the affairs of the court be called false? If Hai Rui hadn't been here, Chen Mu would have had to ask his own soldiers to inquire about who Changsheng Zhi County had been mixed with recently.
Zou Yuanbiao's young face was filled with unparalleled joy, and when he pushed the door in, he saw that there were still guests, and his voice stopped abruptly, and he was not too surprised to see that the guests were dressed in scarlet robes, and he saluted with a smile, and his words were very relaxed: "Student Zou Yuanbiao, Chang Shengzhi County, has seen adults." β
Hai Rui arched his hand: "Hai Gangfeng, be polite." β
Chen Mu saw with his own eyes, and Zou Yuanbiao's face flashed ten thousand expressions at that moment.
Put half of the official hat back on the gradually bald skull, the flamboyant little hands slowly retracted into the sleeves, the slightly protruding shoulders slowly straightened, and the soap boots that stepped out of the hem of the official robe were retracted inch by inch, until the whole person looked dignified and decent.
The shadow of the famous tree, Zou Yuanbiao is honest.
"The students don't know ...... Haigong in person"
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Chen Mu raising his hand, pointing to the chair next to him and saying, "Sit down honestly-Haigong, I still have a few days?" β
Hai Rui did not blame the lively Zou Yuanbiao, nor did he directly answer Chen Mu's question, but asked: "Old man Fang Cai sounds, Chen Shuai is planning to buy grain and grass from Xiyi?" β
The soldiers brought in the second phase are still in Jincheng, Hai Rui came over first, Chen Mu is now extremely concerned about the affairs of Jincheng, especially after knowing the ins and outs of what happened at sea, he is more worried about what will happen to those people who gather in Jincheng or gather in Changsheng in the future.
"Yes, there is a shortage of grain and grass in the county, not only to supply the people, but also to supply the grain and grass of our own banner army.
Chen Mu shook his head slowly as he spoke, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the Westerners don't have too much grain in stock, if it can't meet the needs of my people-this time, the imperial court sent homeless people from the four provinces, which really caught Chen a little off guard." β
Who would have thought? Originally, the Beiyang Phase II Flag Army, which was waiting for seven or eight thousand small 10,000 people, was looking forward to the stars and the moon, but it turned out that 100,000 people were coming, who could stand it.
"Chen Shuai is so worried, the old man can share the worries of the military government."
"The rash influx of 30,000 households will surely cause a little chaos. Wuzhi County, Jincheng, has discussed with the old man to leave 6,000 households for naturalization; In addition, 3,000 households were sent to each of them to give a stone of rice and grain, and ordered them to follow Ma Shuai to the east to open up Sanxiang, and another 500 furnace households were placed in the mine excavated by Jincheng by Wuzhi County. β
The big problem in Chen Mu's eyes was only a small problem in Hai Rui's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, nearly 10,000 families were settled in Jincheng.
"Even so, a few days later, more than 20,000 households still arrived in Changsheng County one after another, and then they need to bother Zou Zhi County, prepare 60,000 stones of rice and grain, 30,000 stones for the people, and 30,000 stones for the county government."
"In addition, it is hot here, and Chen Shuai needs to mobilize the salty sauce cakes in the military rations to prevent the people from suffering from heat stroke."
"The grain market, grain storage, and market prices are flat, and the people have no worries about eating and using, but those who need to worry about it are pouring into the crowd and causing chaos." Hai Rui said: "There are a lot of soldiers in the Beiyang army, and Chen Shuai should be able to suppress it." β
In fact, after Hai Rui said that Jincheng shared the 9,500 households, the burden in Chen Mu's heart suddenly relaxed.
He never put Jincheng in the response, because Wu Zhongxing's letter made it clear that he was stupefied by the sheer number of Ming immigrants.
The influx of 30,000 households is indeed a big trouble for the unprepared Changsheng County, but if this number becomes 20,000 households, it will only be a small trouble, and if it can be reduced to 10,000 households, it will not only not be troublesome, but will provide great help to the county.
"20,000 households, there will be no chaos." Chen Mu shook his head almost arbitrarily, and said: "In the past few days, I have made an emergency plan with my staff to resettle the people, as long as we can keep the people's appetites and keep Changsheng County from starving to deathβthis fertile land is enough to feed everyone." β
Chen Mu hung a huge hanging map behind the main seat, drawing the map of the whole of Asia known so far, and he picked up the bamboo whip leaning on the leg of the stool and pointed to the small dots on the map and said: "Haigong is new, I am afraid that I don't know how much land the Ming Dynasty has acquired in Asia, this is a constant victory." β
"Along the coast to the north of 5,000 miles for the boundary county, along the coast to the north of the 1,700 miles for Jincheng, Jincheng to the northwest along the coast 6,000 miles along the coast for Majiagang, these lands to the east, split this map from the middle, are all Ming."
In terms of area alone, this land is not much smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Feed 100,000 more? More than enough!
"Haigong came over today to give Chen a reassuring pill, the affairs behind it are complicated, a Changsheng County more than 10,000 local people are enough for Zou Zhi County to be in a hurry, at this time the affairs are complicated, and Chang Ji and others in the military government have no experience in ruling a hundred miles alone."
"The matter of connecting the people in the future depends on the overall situation of the Haigong, and it is imperative that every citizen has a place to go and start his new life in Asia."
"It's up to you to settle the people and unify the minds of the immigrants of the Celestial Empire." Chen Mu nodded his head as he spoke, and said, "It's up to me to come, and when they get here, they can't forget to be loyal and patriotic." β
