Chapter 25: Illusion! Killing without blood!

Yun Zhao didn't want to interfere in specific things.

However, the young Lantian regime did not have a deep foundation and had not had time to summarize its unique governance methods. Yun Zhao had to use some of his own experiences deep in his mind.

A person's intelligence depends on the breadth of the message he receives.

To be honest, the ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty at this time did not have much more understanding of the world than those in the Tang and Song dynasties, and they could even be said to know less.

In order to consolidate its rule, the Zhu Dynasty ruthlessly restricted the free movement of the people. In addition to some special classes, such as scholars who could lead the way to travel around the world, even merchants' actions would be strictly restricted.

There are many people who have not walked out of their birthplace thirty miles away from their birthplace.

At this time it is impossible to expect these illiterate and disaster-ridden people to embrace the new world enthusiastically.

Passionate poets will praise the simplicity of the people, and good officials who want to lead the people forward will despair about the simplicity of the people.

Simple means stubbornness and unchanging.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had entered a new era that required a flexible mind to operate.

The people have not kept up with the changes in the times, which is the worst situation.

When the simple people learned that their highest leader was coming, they welcomed Yun Zhao's arrival by the local village chiefs.

The legendary county lord came. The ordinary soup and rice, water and wine were not enough to express the enthusiasm of the people, so they killed six pigs... and wisely invited several elderly people to send them to the place where Yun Zhao stayed.

The ordinary pork was naturally distributed to the officials in entourage and the black-clad people.

In order to prevent the officials from making the wrong marks of the best thing - pig heads, they specially marked the fat pig heads - so Yun Zhao naturally saw a pig head named after the county lord.

Yun Zhao was very satisfied. This pig's head was the largest, and it was bigger than Feng Ying's pig's head, especially the pair of ears as big as a palm fan, which was Yun Zhao's favorite.

Xu Wu thought there was no pig's head.

So his face was extremely difficult to see, and the other village heads from Lantian who were not divided into pigs were also extremely ugly, and some were almost furious.

They really didn't expect that these stupid village chiefs would do such a thing beyond their expectations.

Before Xu Wu thought that he was about to burst into protective anger, Yun Zhao said that this was very good, especially the pig head with the word "county master" hanging on his ear would definitely be extremely delicious if the heat was cooked enough.

As for the pig head with the word "Madam", it is best to dig it out from it, boil the pig head, then remove the meat, a layer of flesh, a layer of meat, and a layer of ears and tongue, wrap it in gauze, and press it on a bluestone overnight... Tsk tsk, add it with dipping sauce and put it in wine, it tastes great!

In the following time, Xu Wu wanted to constantly wipe the sweat beads on his forehead to make Yun Zhao understand that these people were just stupid and absolutely had no intention of offending the county magistrate, and there was nothing at all - they were just simple and simple or stupid.

Yun Zhao smiled...

The chef who accompanied the army ordered the pig heads to cook them and specially invited the local village chiefs to drink together.

When the banquet just started, these local local leaders were trembling. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they found that Yun Zhao was a kind person and always smiled, so their courage gradually became stronger.

Some people say that new grains are not good, potatoes do not grow big, corn does not produce sticks, high yields buckwheat are not high yields, but sweet potatoes are a good thing, and acre of land is usually a few thousand kilograms.

Even if you eat too much sweet potato, people are prone to vomiting sour water, but they cannot be sold, and the government can do nothing. Therefore, every household has a cellar of sweet potatoes. Seeing that the sweet potatoes this year are coming down again, I feel so worried...

After hearing what they said, Yun Zhao glanced at the Lantian who always said there was not enough food to eat. He was so scared that the guy shrank his neck and stopped talking, hoping that those idiots and locals would not say anything else they shouldn't say.

When they calculated grain output, they had long counted sweet potatoes as vegetables.

In Lantian, sweet potatoes can only be recorded at 10% of the price of equal weight.

However, the people of Lantian really use sweet potatoes as vegetables. They like the leaves of sweet potatoes more. As for the sweet potatoes produced, they basically use starch to grind them into vermicelli except for feeding animals.

And starch and vermicelli need to be put into commercial accounts...

As long as the number of sweet potatoes is smaller, Lantian will be more likely to supplement food for the people of Hanzhong.

This is an implicit utilization policy. As long as Lantian is not discovered, it can always accept subsidies. The extra grain will become the savings of Hanzhong. With the savings, commercial activities can be carried out... For example, turning all sweet potatoes into vermicelli...

Yun Zhao decided not to sweep away everyone's drinking pleasure, pretended not to know, and continued to drink with the locals who were the first time they were rural residents.

There are 113,671 households in Hanzhong Prefecture!

Before the bandits rampaged in Hanzhong, there were more than 67,000 Dingkou in just one county in Nanzheng, and Hanzhong Prefecture under the jurisdiction of eleven counties in Nanzheng, Chenggu, Yangxian, Mianxian, Xixiang, Zhenba, Ningqiang, Lueyang, Liuba, Foping and Baocheng.

In other words, during the more than ten years of the thieves' rampage, Hanzhong lost more than 60% of its population.

"I have already made it clear in the document that Hanzhong Land wants to truly restore its former vitality not only needs the support of Lantian, but also the sparse population is also a big problem."

After seeing off the village chiefs, Yun Zhao and Xu Wu wanted to stroll along the path in the back garden of the government office. Xu Wu wanted to speak with a low voice, even feeling a little tired.

"What improvements have you all made?"

"Gathering the population and attracting the population, before, Yang Xiong was in charge of this aspect in Hanzhong, and achieved remarkable results. The people in the mountainous areas left the mountains and forests and began to gradually migrate to places with convenient transportation, sufficient water sources and flat land.

It is because too many extremely poor people have emerged from the mountains and forests that Hanzhong has been unable to move forward.

Some people who came out of the mountains and forests didn’t even have a fig leaf, and some people who survived alone in the mountains and forests even forgot how to speak.

I think there is something wrong with our policy.”

"Oh? Tell me?"

"We cannot wait until the bandits completely destroy some good places before rebuilding them from the ruins, so that we will need too much time and money."

"So, do you disagree with what Zhou Guoping and the others did in Nanjing?"

“Agree!”

"Hey, I thought you would object."

"What I object to is to let Li Hongji go, and Zhang Bingzhong and others continue to rage the Ming Dynasty."

Yun Zhao looked at the Yuanshan and said, "It was not only Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong who were rampant in the Ming Dynasty, but also emperors, royal families, officials, landlords, powerful people, tycoons, and clans.

Do you mean that we will destroy these people with our own hands?

It’s just breaking some bottles and jars. To be honest, I don’t care!”

Xu Wu wanted to look at Yun Zhao and said, "Are you going to break the old world with your own hands and create a new world?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I am willing to share my own power with the people of the world. Do you think I will allow those old power classes to continue to hold power in our new world?

Why?

Should those in power always be in power?

It's time to change.

Xu Wu thought, you have become cowardly."

Yun Zhao pressed Xu Wuxiang's shoulder with both hands and said earnestly, and left, leaving the dull Xu Wuxiang in the local area.

After Yun Zhao returned to the garrison, he was in a very bad mood. He keenly discovered that those who were determined to be in a strong way were slowly transforming.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Xu Wu wanted to go home, but he was also restless.

He also suddenly realized that his thinking seemed to be unable to keep up with Yun Zhao's thought changes.

He did not admit that he had become cowardly, and he felt that he had not changed.

After his gentle wife Ade brought him a cup of tea, he took a sip and complained that today's tea was not good. Then Ade said, "When the county lord is here, don't drink the sparrow tongue."

For some reason, Xu Wu wanted to look down at the comfortable and exquisite shoes on his feet, the green robe on his body, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist, and then raise his hand to touch the exquisite hairpin. Xu Wu felt a storm in his heart.

At this moment, Xu Wu thought he was more like a prefect than a Lantian official...

Xu Wu wanted to slowly raise his head and look at his gentle wife and said, "When the county master leaves, you will take the children back to Lantian Manor and take good care of them."

Ade was surprised and said, "What should you do?"

Xu Wu wanted to slowly pull out the green jade hairpin from his hair bun and put it on the table, then took off the jade pendant and placed it on the table, and looked at his wife Ade calmly and said, "I have already promised the country, and life and death are nothing more than nothing."

"I, I'm not taking good care of you?" Ade was a little scared when he saw that her husband's face was twisted with pain.

Xu Wu wanted to hold Ade's hand and said, "It's my blessing to marry you, but it's your unlucky thing. Xu Wu wanted to be from a poor family, but when he met the county magistrate, he turned into a big roll with spreading wings.

I, a big roc, cannot just focus on my home, and spread my wings to protect the world.

Since we got married, although we have no food and clothing, we can't be considered wealthy after all. I owe you a lot of this."

When Ade heard her husband say this, his pretty face turned slightly red and he whispered: "I just like ugly people."

Xu Wu wanted to smile bitterly and said, "I did use some means to get close to you back then."

"You mean the rabbit named Zhang Ruoyu?"

"He is not a rabbit man, but a great husband. Now he is a village chief in Gucheng County, Xiangyang. I forced him to pretend to be a rabbit man. Otherwise, I would not be sure to win your favor."

Ade giggled and said, "Is this why you always follow me?"

Xu Wu thought, "It was me who suddenly realized that I had not yet come out of the false illusion of that year."

"Now come out?"
