Chapter 198: Ruan Shimin's Reverie
So the local gentry began to obey the instructions of the thieves, and they were surprised to find that although the instructions of most of the hairless thieves seemed to be misbehaving, such as pedestrians on the right, and land collection and cultivation, the results were obvious, and now even in the county town of Anyun, most of the residents began to walk on the right, as for the land, no matter whose land it was, as long as it was contracted by the thieves, they were all pushed, and immediately began to build irrigation canals.
As a large area of the hand tuntian and want his subordinates to grow grain, he couldn't be clearer, every year for the irrigation water, Anyun, this nine villages and eighteen villages have to fight several times a year, every year to grab water to kill several people, every time the county government has to ask him to bring his own soldiers to suppress.
In previous years, there were also large households with big money to occasionally pay for the construction of irrigation canals, but this kind of thing is often thankless, and the landlords will come out to block the construction of the fields that need to pass along the way, and do not allow the canals to go from their fields.
In the end, the canals that were built were either crooked, or could not be irrigated here and there, so the canals built in this way were in great need of water every day, and once it rained, it was easy to break the canals and dams and wash away the fields.
On the other hand, looking at the channel built by such a thief, where is this channel? It's like digging a river directly, and the canal can even be navigated, and they don't care about the obstruction of the landlords at all—except for a few who don't open their eyes, they basically take the land compensation money and should eat and drink.
These irrigation canals are a main canal from west to east to draw water from the Jiehe River, and then through a number of branch canals to the fields of each nine villages and eighteen villages, and there are sluice switches in the sections of the branch canals, which can be used to control the size of the water flow, and to a certain extent, it can also reduce the flood control pressure of the Jiehe River.
Ruan Shimin was sitting in the hall of the Qianhu Office in the west of Anyun County at the moment, and he listened carefully to the spy opposite telling him in detail about today's news in Dongfang Port. He didn't have anything, but fortunately, the military attache of the Wu Dynasty didn't need to do anything, although the officialdom was to suppress the military, according to the regulations, he had to salute when he saw Zhou Jinfeng, the order of An Yun County, but if he didn't salute, Zhou Jinfeng couldn't do anything with him, so he still had a pretty good time before An Yun's days.
Although the name is Qianhu, and the scale of this city is about 1,000 people, there are not 1,000 people in the city of Qianhu in the west of the city, not even 500 people to be exact. In the Wu Dynasty, there was such an unwritten rule, if the size of a general's command was 1,000 people, then the actual quota of only 600 to 800 people would be retained, and the remaining quota of 2 or 300 people could be paid empty. Of course, the empty salaries of these two or three hundred people are not eaten by one person in a thousand households, and they need to be distributed to each of his hundreds of households and other officers to eat. Although it looks like a lot, the average number is not good-looking. Therefore, they set their sights on the head of the military household, and deducting military salaries has become a common means of accumulating money for every officer, the Wu Dynasty implemented the tuntian system, and the Wu Dynasty army farmed in their spare time, and was the army in wartime, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, it was not necessary for the state to pay a penny to raise the whole ** team. The Tuntian system has basically achieved this, and until now the government of the Wu Dynasty has indeed not paid too much money for the army, but another problem has followed, that is, the combat effectiveness of the army has declined sharply. The army was originally a unit that was out of production and specialized in combat, and if the monopoly production was to neglect military training for a long time, not to mention the decline in combat effectiveness in wartime, the soldiers' morale would be discouraged by working on weekdays. The officers regarded the soldiers as their own personal slaves, and the output of the military fields was all enjoyed exclusively by the officers, and they had to occupy the soldiers' salaries on weekdays, and resolutely refused to pay them until the army went to war, and even punished or killed the soldiers at will.
As long as people who are not blind and deaf can see this situation, Ruan Shimin himself knows that he is actually sitting in a crater every day, and whether it will erupt tomorrow basically depends on the reaction of the military households below. If it was in the past, when An Yun was still in the hands of the Wu Dynasty, there was no Kanhe Road in the world of this Wu Dynasty, and these military households under him had nowhere to escape, and if they were caught, they would be deserters, and they would be dead. Even if a few can escape a way out, where can they go? Go to the north and south of Annam, the two countries have been at war for a long time, and if they run away, eighty percent will be thrown directly into the army as soldiers, and nine percent will die on the front line. Therefore, even if he Ruan Shimin knew about these circumstances, he didn't bother to make changes, anyway, the military households could live here with him, and they might not be able to live if they went out, as long as he didn't tighten the rope too tightly, in this suitable climate in Annam, it was basically impossible for the military households to escape.

The thieves' behavior made Anyun's local gentry everyone in danger, lest they become the next newcomer, especially Anyun's local township Yongtuan Liujiazhai Liu Mingyuan, who ran to the county every day to urge Zhou Jinfeng to write about the danger, asking the imperial court to quickly send a heavenly army to annihilate the pirates. But it didn't take long for him Liu Mingyuan to become the father-in-law of a certain big boss of the thieves, which made the local gentry breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that this group of thieves did not come to kill the local tyrants and divide the land, and they were also reasonable.
Ruan Shimin can't understand where these thieves came from. At first, I always felt that these thieves were here to rob the house, otherwise how could they have such a strong combat effectiveness? But then a series of changes made everyone understand that this group of thieves did not come to kill people, set fire and rob, they actually came to settle here, and the tricky things they made were not only beautiful, but also cheap and practical. And they seem to be full of talent in grain planting, and the large new land they grow is not only large, but also can grow some strange things, what peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops are simply staggering to them, and they all wonder if this group of thieves has stolen a cornucopia from the sky.
Sun Yuandi hated to take Sun Ke from the moon, so the local gentry began to obey the instructions of the thieves to do things, and they were surprised to find that those most of the hairless thieves Although the instructions seemed to be nonsense, such as pedestrians to the right, land collection and cultivation, the results were obvious, and now even in Anyun County, most of the residents began to walk on the right, as for the land, no matter whose land it was, as long as it was contracted by the thieves, they were all pushed, and immediately began to build irrigation canals.

After the distant land is not only the enemy hates to take the lonely department I am the most
He was worried and scared in his heart, worried that these things would be reported by those well-fed officials, and what he was afraid of was that the emperor's brain was hot, and with a stroke of his pen, a million heavenly troops went south to level his hair. This is a garrison, if the heavenly army is really going south, he is an absolute pawn of a thousand households, and he must be the vanguard of the two armies against each other, if it is like this, wouldn't it be a big dead word written in his head?
"Oh," Ruan Shimin responded perfunctorily, wiping the sweat from his head, "Aren't all these crimes going to be beaten?" ”
"Not really!" The pro-soldier said with a smile on his eyebrows, "The people below are also waiting to see the board, but the 'chiefs' in front of me said that now is the time for people to work, and they can't be killed, but they must be sent to the labor camp to work until they die." ”
