Chapter 326 The Heart of the Son of Heaven (Repair)

"It's all okay." Chen Zuocai smiled and said, "The mansion cannot be distributed to them. Unless they find bachelors on the island to form a family, they all allocate them according to five women and five children, and arrange their accommodation nearby, but not to them, but just temporary residence. In terms of income, it's not bad. The servants, cooks, and chores are all for food and clothing, and they can eat enough, and there are still five hundred to a regular monthly monthly money. I told them that if there is a bumper harvest of cotton in the future, they can rent a single-pedal machine and work hard. They can do it for three or four hours a day, and earn two more coins a month. If they have done it, they can apply to buy a house from the Marquis' Mansion to settle down."

"A woman these days is afraid she won't have any obsession with buying a house."

"That's right." Although Chen Zuocai didn't understand what Xu Zixian said very much, he said with a smile: "Before he came to the island earlier, they were mostly sad and foggy, crying, which made people feel very impatient. Now, it's all right, everyone has a smile on their faces. Many women want to find a down-to-earth and reliable man to make a home, but the island is still in chaos, afraid that they will not get what they want for the time being."

"They have to do it themselves." Xu Zixian smiled on his face and said to Chen Zuocai: "Let the elderly and young people get what they are raised, and the women also get what they are. The neighborhoods are peaceful and peaceful, and everyone does not lack food and clothing. This is also my wish."

"This is the realm in Mencius's Datong chapter." Chen Zuocai said calmly and admirably: "I saw Mr. Wei Xiu want to speak a few times today, but he might just want to praise the king like this."

"It's still far away." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "And it's impossible to be so ideal. The Nan'an Marquis Mansion cannot stand alone outside the Great Wei Dynasty and be separated from reality. The people also have to pay taxes for food and taxes. But I hope that even if there are continuous wars in the future, the people will not suffer too much."

Chen Zuocai silently said yes. He knew in his heart that if the Dongfan wanted to be calm, he would not be at ease. This was what Chen Zuocai said to Xu Zi first when he was in the capital at the beginning of last year. If he saw that the Dongfan people were very happy and had a thought of being calm, he would inevitably suffer a great disaster sooner or later.

In times of trouble, all kind-hearted and gentlemen should hold bows, arrows, swords and spears and rise up, otherwise they can only stand up and wait for death. Even Confucian scholars understand this principle.

After a while, Lin Shaozong led more than 30 people over, including the elderly and young, all with pale faces and thin skin and exhausted.

But there was not much fear in their eyes. Everyone wanted to pay a big gift, but Xu Zi first stopped them.

Xu Zixian said: "Are you all Liu Zhiyuan's close relatives?"

A man in his forties and nearly fifty years walked forward, his body was thin and he said swayingly: "The villain is Liu Zhiyuan's cousin."

He also said: "On the day, the Lord and the Lord broke into the mansion and entered. I was escorted to pay homage to him. The Lord and the Lord and the Lord and the Lord also ordered the Wushu not to beat, scold and insult the inner family at will."

Xu Zi first thought about it. The person in front of him was fat and was a mediocre person. How could he remember it deeply? But after saying this, he also remembered it vaguely. He said to the person in front of him: "It seems that you have suffered a lot."

Liu Zhiyuan's cousin said: "My brother was guilty and there is nothing to say. But in prison, we ate bad rice and drank water, and we whipped and scolded each other. It's really worse than death. In prison for half a year, five men in the Han family died, seven women died, and several young children died."

The other Liu clan members, regardless of gender, were mostly numb.

From this we can see that these people knew that Liu Zhiyuan was killed by Xu Zixian, so it would be unlucky to come and have already abandoned life and death.

There were only a few women, holding a three or five-year-old boy, who was as thin as a dried radish, with hope in his eyes. When he looked at Xu Zixian, he always looked like he wanted to plead for mercy and save the child's life, but he didn't know if he still had hope.

Liu Zhiyuan's cousin sighed: "We know that we are guilty and dare not beg for mercy. We just want the Lord to give us some joy."

"The emperor sent you to Dongfan, just to want to have dozens of insiders in the world." Xu Zixian said to everyone: "You should understand the situation here. It's nothing more than men farming and women weaving, and there are some lands, even women can support themselves. It's impossible to enjoy the blessings like that day. It's always okay to support yourself, eat and wear a lot. No one will make things difficult for you, and I won't kill you. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you and make things difficult for you without authorization, I will definitely punish you if I know."

After Xu Zi finished speaking, he said to Chen Zuocai: "These women were first asked to take them with them in Qizhou. After a while, they got used to it, and then re-arranged them."

"Yes, don't worry, lord."

Xu Zi nodded first, turned over and rode his horse back to the other courtyard.

When he rode his horse away, dozens of people cried behind him, which was a blessing for surviving the disaster. Although he cried, he was full of hope.

The sky is blue and the ocean is wide, and the scenery is still extremely beautiful, but Xu Zixian's mood feels a little dark. The emperor's ruthlessness, coldness, and lack of responsibility can be seen from this small matter.

Liu Zhiyuan did not intend to execute him, but died in political struggles. No matter how capable and ethical he was, he was always running for the emperor. Unexpectedly, after his death, the emperor abused Liu Zhiyuan's family in order to cooperate with Han Zhong without any rift, and now he was exiled to the Dongfan. How is his intention unknown?

Of course, Xu Zixian would not be fooled by this kind of foolishness. He did such dirty things for the emperor. Such emperors are not worthy of being called emperor, and even the official family is not worthy of being.

Xu Zixian also felt that all power belonged to the center under centralization, and there was no check or balance. The prime minister's power and the emperor's authority were still impossible to confront him. Han Zhong only succumbed to the will of the emperor. The emperor also needed the stability of the center and needed to do things for him. This was the stability after the bloody night of the capital.

If the emperor had not wanted to fight the north, after Liu Zhiyuan, Han Zhong, Xu Zixian and others would inevitably have happened.

Compared with the kings and enemies in the pre-Qin period, if the ministers felt that the king could not be assisted, they could choose the lord of their favorite king among the countries, and the lord could only restrain themselves to seek the return of the wise. The current centralized system will only become more and more closed and backward, and will make everything among the people scattered.

This is also the case after the Han and Tang Dynasties. China not only became more and more rigid and conservative in its academic studies, but only served the monarch, but also was ministers, military generals, scholars, and students. All classes could only crawl under the imperial power. The more concentrated the imperial power, the entire dynasty would become more and more rigid, and sooner or later became a scattered sand. After the early rise and vitality, the dynasty gradually became rigid and stagnant, and finally decline and destruction. This is inevitable.

It’s no wonder that the later generations are angry about the emperor, the only one in the world.

Since the feudal system was replaced by the county system, centralization has become the only choice. With China's size, the feudal system cannot maintain stability for a long time, but the harm of centralization is not as good as feudal.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the situation has become worse and worse, and has been repeatedly bullied by foreign races, which is a clear proof.

The best way is to have a practical constraint on imperial power, and we cannot collect all the local wealth, power and military power. However, there must be checks and balances for local governments. Only after finding this balance can the country be revitalized, and all classes can benefit each other. The lower classes can achieve their own benefits, and the upper classes can comply with the lower classes, rather than just merging them. When the lower classes rise up, they will kill the upper classes and use the bloodiest way to complete the class replacement.

Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty actually had done a lot of things, but the details of the work were still very different.

He ran back to the villa and had a happy banquet. The officials of the Marquis' Mansion who attended the welcome to Wu Shizhong were all civil servants. When talking about their knowledge, the national court was involved, everyone could also answer. Xu Zixian ordered that each person had a few, not to be luxurious, but each person had four dishes and a soup and a small pot of wine. Wu Shizhong was very happy, and the guests and hosts all had fun.

...

"Eat, eat, eat..."

A farmer made a sound of eating and driving the two horses forward.

He stood beside the maroon horse on the left, and on the right was a blue-white horse. Both horses were raised very strong, with short thick legs and fat belly. As he moved forward, he kept neighing and shouting, as if he was impatient to move forward slowly.

Even if the horses are impatient, what they create is a big miracle.

Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, Fu Qian, the craftsman, Cao Lin Jiusi, several workers, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xin, and Zhang Yi, and these famous craftsmen in the East Vanguard were all in the right place.

Everyone looked a little excited, but there was no need to be nervous. Xu Zixian was even chatting with Fu Qian and Lin Qunsi.

Lin Jiusi smiled at Xu Zixian and said, "It was said that time was too late, so I was afraid I could only waste one season. Now it seems that I can still catch up."

Lin Jiusi was about his early sixties and was a famous craftsman on Fujian Road. He was good at building palaces and pavilions. Wooden works were also masterpieces, and beams were all good at building wooden works. Wooden works were divided into several levels. The first level of wood works was the first level to build palaces and pavilions, and the second was the only one who could build ships and vehicles. It was called a small work.

Xu Zixian smiled and said, "It's still Mr. Lin that you are capable. You have produced horse yoke plows on a large scale. If it weren't for this, there would be no way to do so quickly!"

The plowing ground should be deep. According to the previous method, the cows pulled the plow in front and moved the solid soil like waves. People used various tasks to slap and smashed it behind them. At the same time, they also had to pick up and throw away foreign objects such as grass roots, tree roots, broken stones, etc., so that new land was completely opened.

It is not easy to open up land. Otherwise, all dynasties would not have encouraged land land, and people would have used tax reduction and exemption to encourage them to open up land.

During the reign of the Zhou emperor, the core ruling area was just the Guanzhong area of ​​Chang'an, and Luoyang was developed later. The entire Chinese civilization was unfolded along the Yellow River. The Qin people in Long were herding officials who laid sheep for the Zhou people. The Chu State in the south was just a viscount, and was enfeoffed in the Jingman land, far away from the Yellow River civilization area, and was considered to be the Jingman savages.

At that time, the Dongyi was active in the Yangtze River Basin, and the Dongyi was a savage who held a bow in the east. Not to mention the later Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, during the Zhou Dynasty, even the south of the Yangtze River was also a place for the barbarians.

Later, the nations were in dispute, the population grew, and even the Wu and Yue fought for hegemony, the Qin army went south, and the Han and Tang dynasties were invaded. China had such a large territory.

Whenever the Han people arrived in a place, they would develop farming and cultivate land and farm, which was the top priority.

If the land was purely opened up by manpower, the manpower would be poor, and a man carried a plow, a few men and women helped him, it would be considered too much if he could open twenty acres of land a day, but it would be difficult to do it.

Because burning wasteland is the first step, then the fields are burned with lime to remove pests, and then after several years of slowly sowing and fertilizing, the land can plant wasteland covered with trees, shrubs and weeds, and slowly turn into fertile fields.

The Han people's pioneering was not based on years or ten years, but on a hundred years.

In fact, even in the core area of ​​Chu, many places were sparsely populated and covered with barbarians. It was not until the early years of the Great Wei that the North Road of Jinghu was slowly developed. It was not until the middle of the Great Wei that Yunnan and Guizhou were barely stable. Later, they moved into the Han people and gradually became Han territory.

Yunnan has only more than 2 million mu of arable land, but only in the core area of ​​Kunming, there is a large area of ​​arable land surrounding Dianchi Lake. Most of the places behind it are Yi seedlings, hillside fire, and farm tools such as stone plows are used, which are quite wild and backward.

The development of Dongfan was obviously not so slow.

Xu Zixian had no plans to wait for three or five years. There were more than 6,000 strong horses on the island and more than a thousand plowing oxen, so it was not difficult to open up large areas of land.

The burning of wasteland has lasted for two months, and a large area of ​​plains has been burned into open spaces, and it is time to be deeply cultivated.

It is the end of April now, and the farming season has passed, so it is definitely too late to soak the fields and plant rice. However, Xu Zi had other plans in advance. He could not call the large acres of fields that were blooming, and they were all abandoned.

Fu Qian then continued: "If people are ploughing, even if they mobilize tens of thousands of strong men and work endlessly, they will open 200,000 to 300,000 acres of qualified fertile land within one or two months, it will be considered a good result. Now it is not difficult to use more than one thousand cattle, more than six thousand horses, more than 30,000 strong men and 20,000 women to complete the development of one million acres of fertile land in mid-May."
