Qin Feng only took Grandpa Le and Wu Ling with him. Wu Ling at this moment www.biquge.info the shackles have been removed, but in front of these two people, he has no intention of escaping at all, whether it is Qin Feng or Father-in-law Le, both of them can easily subdue him, not to mention, he is also curious, he wants to see what Changyang County has become now, so that Qin Feng is so confident that he wants to let him see the new Changyang County.

Wu Ling was originally from Changyang County, and he was extremely familiar with this piece of land. Several years of war, so that Changyang County has become the most deeply injured land in the Ming Dynasty now, there is no one in ten, there is no one in ten miles, there are long weeds everywhere, ruins and broken walls, smoke and fire roasting is the reflection of Changyang County in the mind of Wu Ling in the past.

"Wu Ling, I specially took you to leave the big team and take the trail, just to let you see a real Changyang County, lest you think I arranged something." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Wu Ling snorted, not quite believing that Changyang County could make any huge changes in a short period of time. Qin Feng arranged it like this, he just waited to see something miserable, so he came to slap Qin Feng in the face.

Walking on the undulating country road, a spring rain just fell made the road ***** fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people, walking on it, although splashed with mud, but it was not very difficult.

It's been a long time since I walked, and I still haven't seen any people, and on both sides of the road, the land that originally seemed to be some fertile fields is now also a wild grass, green and moving with the wind, but people can't raise half of the interest.

Qin Feng bent down, picked up a lump of soil from the ground, and sighed: "Changyang County originally had less land suitable for farming, like this, it was supposed to be planted with food, but now it is barren, and there is still no one!" ”

"Your Majesty, it will get better slowly." Le Gonggong comforted: "After several years of war, coupled with the rebellion of the Shuntian Army, Changyang County is almost empty, but now that there is no war, there will always be more people." ”

"That being said, but it would take at least a whole generation!" Turning his head to look at Wu Ling, "Wu Ling, have you seen it?" This is the sin of the Shuntian army. ”

Wu Ling ridiculed each other: "Why must it be the Shuntian Army? When the Shuntian Army didn't get up, did Changyang County have a good time? It's not that you can't live. Even if all these lands are planted with food, how many grains will end up in the hands of the common people? Why did the Shuntian Army respond to the call in Changyang County? Why can it sweep Changyang County in a very short period of time, isn't it because it can't survive? ”

Qin Feng thought for a while and nodded: "You're right. But what did you do after you took Changyang County? Is it to lightly pay for the meager taxes, reduce rents and interest rates, so that the people can live a stable life, or are they wreaking havoc and forcing the people to follow you all the way to burn and loot? Is there a big difference between you and those officials in the former Vietnam? If you really want me to say it, you are even worse, because those people still leave a few grains of food for the common people, but you don't even leave a place for the common people to live. ”

"If you want Daye, you must first be in chaos, if the predecessors do not pay sacrifices, how can the descendants enjoy peace? Qin Feng, you don't have to bother to speak, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, now of course you have to say it. Wu Ling was unconvinced.

"You don't know what to do!" Qin Feng shook his head and smiled: "The Shuntian Army received strong support from the common people in the early stage, and they believed that you could bring them a good life, but what happened later? Why are there fewer and fewer people supporting you? Have you thought about this question? Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, what do the people follow you to do? Of course, you want to live a peaceful life, but you can't give it to them. Whether it's Mo Luo or Wu Xin, it's wrong from the root. The eyes of the common people are bright, and the common people are also the most realistic. ”

Throwing away the mud casually, Qin Feng rubbed his hands on the placket of his clothes, and said to Le Gong: "Changyang County is doing a good job of Ma Xiangnan now, but there are too few people, it is indeed a big problem that shackles the development of Changyang County, and we must find a way to cause a large number of people to come to Changyang County." ”

"Your Majesty, but this is not easy!" Le Gonggong said with a smile: "Now all the counties in Daming are developing rapidly, and life is getting better day by day, who wants to let people from other places leave their hometowns to come to Changyang County?" Besides, Changyang County is really not a good place, with less land, more mountains, and inconvenient transportation, it can't compare to those good places outside! ”

"There's always something worse in comparison." Qin Feng thought for a while: "Or you can find a way from the four counties of the Northland." ”

Father-in-law Le is also a person with a smart mind, and he thought for a moment, "Your Majesty is moving the minds of those barbarians?" ”

Qin Feng laughed: "The problem of the four counties of the Northland, how can it be solved within this year, at that time, hundreds of thousands of barbarians, they can't let them flee to the mountains again, if this is the case, maybe decades later, a figure like Murong Hong will pop up to find trouble for us, so, after defeating them, I want to move some barbarians to Changyang County, they are not a way to squeeze in the four counties of the Northland." ”

"Barbarians are wild in nature, but I'm afraid that they will not be easy to control." Grandpa Le was a little worried.

Qin Feng pointed to the land in front of him: "Barbarians are also people, Father-in-law Le, don't forget, now that we are in the Ming Realm, those with barbarian blood don't know mortals, and we can't tell who is a barbarian and who is a Ming person, right?" If you move them here, divide the land, give them houses, and let them farm in peace, will they still rebel? I don't think so. After a few decades, they will eat the grain of the Ming Dynasty, pay the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, read the books of the Ming Dynasty, and intermarry with the Ming people, who will remember the past? As I said earlier, the common people are the most realistic, whether he is a Ming man or a barbarian, as long as you let him live a good life, he will think of your good. ”

"Your Majesty's holy thoughts are extremely far away, and the minions can't think of this. But I remember that it is often said that if it is not from my people, its heart will be different. "Fair and fair.

That's a big problem. Now in my Ming Dynasty, there are many ethnic groups, and everyone is not the same as fighting for the Ming Dynasty. Qin Feng was a little unhappy.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minion is shallow." Grandpa Le nodded again and again.

Wu Ling on the side was a little surprised when he heard it, now the barbarians are making trouble in the four counties of the Northland, and everyone understands the idea of replacing the Ming Dynasty, but what the Ming Emperor Qin Feng is thinking about here is how to let these barbarians live a stable life in the future, this open-mindedness is really admirable.

This reminded him of Mo Luo, the gap between the two is a bit big!

"Your Majesty, there is a small village ahead, we have been walking for a long time, why don't we go there to rest, drink hot water, beg for some food and then hurry!" Le Gonggong pointed to a village in front of him.

It was a small village with only more than ten houses, and to Wu Ling's surprise, these more than ten houses were exactly the same, like a house built by a master.

"Let's go, let's see." Qin Feng nodded.

Outside the head of the village, there was a stone monument, and several people gathered in front of the stone monument to look at the inscription on it, and Wu Ling finally understood why these houses were exactly the same.

Because these houses were built here by the soldiers of a sentry under the command of the Shaking Mountain Battalion who had destroyed their own pillars.

"At the beginning of Changyang, the people returned home, but Changyang County has been made out of shape by your Shuntian army, where do the people still have a home? In order to allow the people to have a place to live, the Ming army sent a lot of people to build houses for the people on the original destroyed village, this village was built at that time, right? Qin Feng sighed and pointed to the stele: "What about the big village with more than 100 households, now there are only more than 10 households left, pitiful!" ”

Wu Ling's face was a little hot, in order to force the people of Changyang County to go out with them, the Shuntian army burned down the people's houses, robbed the people's property, and let everyone set off with the army, which was the scale of hundreds of thousands of people when the Shuntian army came out of Changyang.

Stepping into the entrance of the village, there was a sound of barking dogs immediately, a small village, almost at a glance to see the head, don't look at the small village, the inner road is built spacious, and paved with stone slabs, no mud, the house is made of adobe bricks, not simple, but also atmospheric, it is the style of the army to build a house.

With the sound of the dog barking, the small village immediately became lively, every family has someone to come out to look, such a small village, usually no outsiders at all, the dog also barks a few times, is to hear the sound of the dog barking, the village will know that outsiders are coming.

An old man with patches on his body walked out of the first courtyard, and saw the three outsiders in front of him who were covered in mud but still couldn't hide their bright bodies, and his face was more or less surprised, and he walked up to the three of them and said, "Are the three guests passing by here?" ”

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, old man, we are going to Changyang County, passing through here, I want to beg for saliva to drink, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" ”

The old man laughed: "What's wrong, our village is remote, and there are very few people who come, and the guests want to go to Changyang County, but they are on the wrong path, and there are a lot of detours from us." ”

"It's okay, it's okay left and right, it's okay to stop by and see." Qin Feng replied with a smile. Father-in-law Le is a eunuch, and it is easy for people to hear the problem as soon as he speaks, so it was Qin Feng who came out to answer.

"The guest officer is a herb merchant, right? Drop by to see this year's medicinal herb harvest? This is a little early, and the first harvest is still early! The old man laughed.

"Yes, yes, Ma County guards the promotion of medicinal materials in the whole county, we who collect medicine and medicine, we are always a little worried, there are too few people in Changyang County, we are afraid that we will not be able to collect it when the time comes, and if we make a mistake, we will be looking for trouble." Qin Feng replied to the old man's words.

"Guests can rest assured, it is not difficult to plant medicinal materials, and the county will send people to inspect every once in a while, we are also careful, now there is no labor in the village, and nothing else can be planted, so I will point to these things and sell them for money, how dare I not care, guests, the house is simple, and the guests should not dislike it." The old man replied as he let a few people inside.

"Then what's not to dislike, those of us who run outside, the sky is the roof and the ground is the bedboard, wherever we go, we will pour it wherever we are tired, and we will be very happy when we have hot water to drink." Qin Feng smiled and said authentically.
