Chapter 131 The Value of Life
Yun Zhao did not communicate with Luo Yagu and Deng Yuhanduo, and Xu Yuanshou was doing these things.
First of all, he is too young, and these people have no desire to communicate with him in detail. They just hope that he can ensure that his research process will not be interrupted by trivial matters such as money.
Secondly, Yun Zhao didn't know their research direction, so he rashly hoped that they would devote themselves to the research of gunpowder, artillery, and guns, and there were still some problems.
Yun Zhao felt that these people were useful, but they needed to get along with them before they could start.
Those pirates and prostitutes are very cute, especially those who have just arrived in Yushan, and after washing up, they are ready to do business, and actively ask which leader they earn to who can protect their safety.
After those pirates learned that they would not be hanged and were about to become a craftsman, they naturally asked the Yun family robbers about how much their wages were!
Every pirate is actually a qualified craftsman, which is determined by the natural environment. There are no idle people on the pirate ship. Everyone needs to show the value of their existence on the ship. The most important thing is that these pirates can fire!
Will fire various cannons.
They have seen all kinds of backward cannons, and have fired many cannons, and most importantly, they have been bombarded by the most advanced cannons in the world.
It was based on this that Xu Guangqi bought these seemingly useless prisoners of war for Yun Zhao.
The prostitutes came with pirates. When they were at sea, they were symbiotic with pirates. No matter how powerful the pirates were, they would not hurt these prostitutes in the end. Of course, those who died accidentally during the firefight were not counted.
The pirate leader who won the battle naturally has the power to collect the capitol tax from prostitutes, and also gain the protection of the robber leader.
So, in a sense, these women are not slaves.
Yun Zhao did not plan to open a brothel in Yushan. Although Yun Hu felt it was a pity, Yun Zhao was still preparing to use these women as maids.
As for those pirates who asked for wages, Yun Hu had ten thousand ways to make them forget their wages and work wholeheartedly.
In any case, Yun Zhao's arrangements in Yushan have been initially completed.
Just leave the rest to time, he will slowly combine all loose, inappropriate, and even wrong things into a whole, and become stronger as the time of blending increases.
On May 24th, the weather is so clear that it makes people feel bored.
The stingy Zhang Daoli held a banquet in Xi'an this time, and Yun Zhao naturally participated. The banquet was filled with water and land, which was a rare luxury!
There was a pale head in the center of the banquet!
Of course, this head is not a real head, but is carved from tofu.
This head also has a nice name - Wang Jiayin!
Zhang Daoli held up his chopsticks and greeted the officials attentively for dinner. The first chopsticks he took out Wang Jiayin's eyes and put them in his mouth to chew. He ate very happily, so that the grapes filled with eyeballs exploded in his mouth, and juice splashed everywhere.
"Wang Jiayin's head was obtained by General Cao Wenzhao. My colleagues, we can only eat this tofu head here to relieve our hatred."
Yun Zhao also ate Wang Jiayin's head, which had no special taste, but the hair dish used as hair is quite characteristic.
Wang Jiayin was killed by his subordinates. Cao Wenzhao picked up a big advantage and got Wang Jiayin's head. What awaited him was his fate of getting promoted and making money.
The benefits of this head are far more than this, and they also benefit Shaanxi officials. Zhang Daoli's transfer document has finally come down. In another two months, he can take his family back to Nanjing to serve as the Left Minister of Personnel.
It is because of this that this grand banquet was created.
People are the same. When you live your life, you always want to save yourself and not let others go.
When I don’t think about my life, I wish I could make up for myself when I was poor every day.
If an official leaves his position and does not spend all the money in the warehouse, he is not a qualified official.
It was almost a retaliatory act, after all, his inaugural official left him an empty warehouse that could starve rats to death.
After all, Wang Jiayin was dead, and it didn't matter even if his head was really cooked by the emperor. However, Wang Jiayin's subordinates were not eliminated as soon as possible. They continued to assemble in Yangcheng, Shanxi, preparing to prepare for a larger battle.
No one in Lantian County rebels.
Everyone is busy preparing for harvesting crops now and has no time to rebel.
After the crops are harvested, everyone has to be busy crushing the farm and then drying the grain, and there is no time to rebel.
After summer harvest, you have to plant autumn grains. After autumn grains are harvested, you have to marry a wife. The children planted last winter should be born at this time. People are busy all day long and have no time to rebel.
Not only Lantian County people do this, but even refugees who enter Lantian County to make a living think so. They have to work and earn money every day, and want to save more food every day.
When people do these things, it is easy to forget the unfair things they have experienced before.
This is to hope that this thing is at work, so there is a strange saying that hardship is wealth.
Yun Zhao didn't believe this statement. He believed that the hardships people suffered before were actually personal disasters, unlucky, bad things, but not wealth.
Yun Zhao, who was an official, never believed in hope. He only believed in what appeared in front of him and had no intention of understanding what he didn't know or knew.
Hope belongs to scholars, students, and those who suffer, but cannot belong to officials, because officials are executors who promote mature things, and things that are too advanced basically have various defects.
Officials basically don’t talk about hope. If an official discusses hope with you, you are about to be in trouble.
Zhang Daoli is now starting to discuss the future of Shaanxi with Yun Zhao!
"The great thief was awarded the head, and the other giant bandits are about to be wiped out. Shaanxi is about to usher in the era of great governance. Unfortunately, I finally hoped for stability but finally got the advantage of others.
Xiao Zhao, you are so lucky. If you last for a few more years, you will be reused. Hahaha, in the future, it’s not that I am waiting for you and others, but that you, Xiao Zhao, are going to take care of us old people.”
Yun Zhao frowned and said, "Lantian County has just had a full meal. Even if there is a little leftover, I have to pay back the debts owed in the past two years..."
Zhang Daoli finally sighed and said, "It turns out that the tea is cold when people leave."
Yun Zhao refused to accept this sentence.
Zhang Daoli wanted some bribes, but Yun Zhao naturally refused to give them!
Where can I give gifts to outgoing officials?
There was no such truth hundreds of years ago, and there was no such truth hundreds of years later!
Yun Zhao left Xi'an that night, and until Yun Zhao's figure disappeared, Zhang Daoli did not get what he expected.
However, he still understood it very well. If he was placed in Yun Zhao's position, he would have made the same choice.
Wang Jiayin's death did not touch Yun Zhao much, and this was what should have happened in history.
People like Yun Meng and Yun Hu are different.
When Yun Zhao returned to the Yun family village, he was dragged to a meeting by these elders.
"The Yun family can't robbery again in the future."
This is the tone set by Yun Meng.
"Our family can live better without robbery now." Yun Hu's eyes were facing the ground without any dissatisfaction when he said this.
"A big thief like Wang Jiayin is dead. It seems that the thief cannot do more. Our family has been working for hundreds of years, so it is time to stop."
Yun Zhao looked at the two elders who regarded robbery as lifelong careers and didn't know what to say.
It seems that Wang Jiayin's death has touched them too much.
"Okay, we won't rob."
Yun Zhao agreed to the suggestions of the two elders, and could see that they breathed a sigh of relief.
When I was poor in the past, life was basically meaningless, so robbery was a matter of course and a must-do.
Now that you are rich, your life becomes valuable, and robbery becomes unprofitable.
Yun Zhao laughed, he felt that this was his second achievement in this world.
