Before leaving, the "dragon disaster" and "tiger disaster" that Xu Qiao said seemed to be a joke, just a few words.

But when Xu Miao set foot in Yunmeng a few months later, he realized that the word "dragon disaster" that seemed to be a joke was so real.

Turtles, crocodiles also.

At this time, the climate was warm and humid, and there were originally many crocodiles and tigers in Sishang, but in recent years, the tigers in Sishang have become extinct, so that Xu Miao has forgotten those terrible animal disasters.

In recent years, Sishang has organized a large number of tiger fighting teams, and even directly dispatched active soldiers to hunt, usually recovering tiger skins with high rewards.

With the power of firearms, the secret of organization, and the benefits of iron weapons, in just over ten years, tigers have been extinct in various villages and communities in Sishang.

As for the crocodile, although there are still a lot left, the crocodile skin is the best leather armor material, and it is already a fleeing population that has been chased and killed by all kinds of people who want to get rich.

These extinct calamities in Sishang made it difficult for Xu Qiao to feel the pain and horror before.

However, when he arrived in Yunmengze, after seeing the tragic situation of this disaster with his own eyes, he realized that the governance of Sishang had made him forget what kind of world it was outside Sishang.

Soon after he and the dozens of people who had arrived by boat in advance arrived in Yunmeng to contact the local ink people, they heard a cry in the barren Yunmeng.

The story is just like the exclamation of Confucius when he climbed Mount Tai, the child of the weeping man has just been eaten by a crocodile, but the weeping man is not ready to leave, because there is no harsh government here, you can escape from labor, military service, public land farming, and cloth taxes.

Xu Miao didn't say anything for the time being, bypassed the crying people's house, and walked along a road that was not a road at all, and entered Yunmengze, where there was a swamp between the vast waves.

There are herds of elk, and the roar of tigers resounded in the sky.

The people around him are not afraid, many people have been to the South China Sea, and there are even veterans who have participated in the destruction of Lou by 800 people, and there are enough weapons and firearms around them, and many people only think that the cry of the rhinoceros means the wealth of rhinoceros skins.

When the boat passed through a small lake, the local ink artist introduced: "About a thousand and a half of the people who rebelled in Anlu have withdrawn into Yunmeng. Some of the rest remained in the area, and those leaders who did not heed our advice and thought that the nobles would listen to their angry revolt remained and were beheaded. ”

"Most of those thousand five are people who are our local people who are preaching morality and obeying, and the leaders are all our people. There are many fish and shrimp in the lake, and there are herds of elk, but they do not starve, but they hide in them. ”

Recently, a lot of people have come one after another, through merchant ships, or some aristocratic connections, bribery, etc., and those who have been transferred from Sishang have gathered here by various means.

Xu Xiao was appointed as Yun Mengze's special commissioner, and he was already the number one person in the ink here, and the local ink organization was operating normally, saving a lot of things.

After Xu Wan roughly understood the situation, he asked, "There are no vicious lake thieves here?" ”

The local inkman smiled, "You saw it too." Those who are extremely vicious must have means. If you kill someone in the city, or if you have an enemy, you can hide elsewhere if you have the means, where will there be a few people hiding in Daze and panic all day long? ”

"There are also some people who occasionally rob people who are hiding and fleeing here in Daze, but they really can't grab anything."

"I fled so far, and most of them make a living by fishing and hunting. That is, some people are able to loot some rhinoceros skins, crocodile skins and so on. However, there are not many people, and it is difficult to find them hidden in Daze. ”

"The rest are mostly people who have fled. Groups of three or five, scattered in Daze. They also planted less, and mostly lived by fishing and hunting, or picking lotus seeds, or picking wild fruits, and there were no iron tools and no tools, and there were many people. ”

Xu Miao thought to himself, I am afraid that the giant will want to do the situation in Sishang here, Sishang has frequent business and trade exchanges, and there have been many looters in Lin Ze. There's really nothing to loot here, and the people who want to come inside are not like thieves, let alone the like.

He also knew that the local ink artists did not have many activities here, and there were not enough people, so they must be mostly active in the densely populated villages around the city and the city, and it was unlikely that they would go deep into it.

When you go deeper inside, you will occasionally pass by several villages, and the people in the villages and outsiders are quite alert.

Most of these village communities are formed by the people who fled to live together, and there are still strong remnants of village communities, the village communities are autonomous, and the land is regularly distributed by the public, and the atmosphere of the village communities in the spring and autumn period is very strong.

After a day in Daze, Xu Qiao probably understood what he said before leaving.

The focus of the work here is completely different from that of Xinzheng.

Xinzheng is a matter of land redistribution, which is of concern to the people.

And here...... I'm afraid it's not the case of land distribution, but the most basic political power doesn't have it, and it wants to gain a foothold here...... It was originally difficult.

However, if the Mo family can support and deliver goods, it can imitate the model of Sishang when it was first built, focusing on construction.

First to be self-sufficient, then rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water, rely on merchant ships and external communication, win the trust of the people, build as a basis, and then seek other things.

Xu Miao thought that according to the contradiction theory of the Mo family, the main contradiction in Xinzheng was the contradiction between the aristocracy and the common people; The contradiction in Yunmengze is the contradiction between the survival of the people and the cruelty of nature.

With such a preliminary judgment, after really seeing the people of the Anlu Uprising hidden in Yunmengze, Xu Miao was even more convinced.

It is said that there are 1,500 people, but in fact it is much more than 1,500 people. But there are only 1,000 young and strong men, as well as old people, children, and women.

The clothes are ragged and the face is withered, although the ink insiders can still be maintained, but the ink insiders obviously do not have this kind of escape experience, and it is rare to be able to maintain people's hearts.

After contact, it only took Xu Wan one day to gain the convincing of these people.

He took a large bag of salt and let the people, who had not been able to eat salt since they retreated, eat a very salty fish and vegetable soup.

A meal of salt, the identity of an ink artist who came up, made these people regain hope.

There were more than 60 Moists in the procession who were official, and there were more than a dozen followers of peasant families, and there would be no disagreement between Mohists and peasants in such a place - the differences between Mohists and peasants were in the areas around Sishang that were heavily affected by the budding industry and commerce.

After calming everyone's emotions, Xu Miao and the others waited quietly, until a month later, all the people sent from Sishang came.

A standard Sishang "county party committee" team, supporting craftsmen, more than 200 sailors, more than 100 regular foot soldiers, plus two warships and even two bronze cannons.

The Mo family's Bashu salt and Sishang salt basically semi-monopolized the smuggling market of the Chu salt industry, and the transportation of various materials was not a problem.

This is not a grass creation, but a development after having a foundation, which is not the same.

The world's ink is a family, although the language is slightly estranged, but after singing a few songs that everyone can sing, they are familiar with it.

When Yun Mengze's first internal meeting of the Mo family was held, more than 100 people participated.

Xu Wan said: "This time, the giant only said that money is not a problem, materials are not a problem, the important thing is that we must stand firm, so that the fleeing people around us gather here, and then develop outside." ”

"I think our top priority is to solve the problem of food, clothing, and shelter first. All the fabric is transported from the outside, and this is simple. Salt iron seeds, also not a problem. However, housing, towns, and fields must be settled within a year and a half. ”

"After a year and a half, we will at least be self-sufficient; There is surplus grain in the cultivated fields. ”

"And we can't rely on all the support from all over the world, the crocodiles and rhinoceros here are all high-quality leather, at least so that the leather we sell can be exchanged for the cotton cloth we wear. And then...... I don't think it's hard to plunder the feudal lord's ships once in a while. ”

"In this way, I think in the first year, we will learn from the farmer, the sage and the people will plough and eat together, except for leaving a part of the righteous teachers who have come from Sishang to leave production, those who have retreated will be made together, and the problem of food and accommodation will be solved first, and then seek other things."

"As long as we are safe here, I don't think anyone will bother us in a year or two. When the city is first established, we will talk about other things. ”

Since he grasped the main contradiction, he naturally thought of the idea that the sage of the peasant family and the people would work and eat together, anyway, there would be no war in the short term, and there would be a steady stream of material support in Sishang, as long as he could achieve food self-sufficiency, then there would be a lot to be done.

The proposal was made, and everyone agreed.

So he chose a place in Yunmengze that could not be flooded, burned the wasteland, built houses, and reclaimed the land.

Farm tools are constantly being transported, and the Mo family is not short of money now, and these farmers who retreated into Yunmeng were originally farmers, who were very familiar with the matter of crops, and had the technical support of Sishang and a complete set of county-level institutions.

Unlike when Sishang was founded, there is no need to build a military industrial system, no need to think about coal and iron, and no need to cultivate talents from scratch, all that is needed is to express one thing to the people who have fled around: this is very good, if you flee, it is better to move here.

The formed company that came up from Si was still out of production, hunting rhinoceros, tigers, and crocodiles all day long, and for months there were few tigers here, and the fur rhinoceros horns had accumulated a pile.

The pain of grass creation is difficult to describe, but after it can be overcome, you will see the moon.

In the past few months, there have been many stories among the people who fled and hid in the Yunmeng Wasteland: there is a city in the Yunmeng Wasteland, where the sage and the people plough and eat together, the yellow hair hangs down and is happy, and there is no disaster of tigers, and there is no shortage of iron, cloth, and salt.

There are many voters.

By the summer of the following year, it had become a small town, and there was a school, and the city already had a look.

It's just that during the meeting, many ink writers muttered in their hearts.

The sage and the people cultivated together, all foreign goods were uniformly priced and distributed, the market did not have two prices, the amount of labor was relied on to distribute the equivalent exchange coupons, the people worked in a unified manner, and there were no merchants and no clear division of labor in the whole city, isn't this the same as the set of peasants?

A few people from the peasant family in the crowd were also complacent, and there were many rumors that the Mo family and the peasant family had a lot of disputes in Sishang, but when they arrived here, it proved that the farmer's set was exactly usable.
