Chapter 80: What you give is always more than what you take

Yun Zhao did not have any intention of reasoning with these gentry at this time.

In the face of such a great famine, reasoning will only delay the time and effect of disaster reduction and self-rescue.

The democratic model will only ruin things in the face of such major events and cause even worse consequences.

Of course, Yun Zhao still used some methods.

For example, at the beginning, the Lantian County government’s announcement stated that it would take away all the food from the family to be distributed uniformly.

When it was really time to implement it, Yun Zhao only targeted the upper and middle households, and naturally ignored the lower households.

For households and middle-aged households, they don’t have to take out all the food in their homes, they just need to pay enough food Yun Zhao needs.

So, Yun Zhao got the food he needed according to his wishes, and there was no obstacle in the process.

Yun Zhao knew very well that if he took away all the food rations of the people, his fate would probably not be much better than that of Eunuch Huang who was beaten to death by the people.

This method is often used by leaders in later generations. They often put forward a very high goal for their subordinates to complete. When their subordinates are exhausted and only accomplish 70% of the goal, the leader will take all responsibilities very generously and make their subordinates feel grateful.

In fact, the 70% of the goals achieved by subordinates are already higher than the requirements of leaders and superiors for him.

Yun Zhao ate a lot of this loss.

With food, Yun Zhao has the appeal...

During the slack season, the people do not mind keeping their own food to survive the famine and going out to work and earn a meal.

In addition, the small county magistrate of Lantian County is already crazy, and it is very unwise to disobey the orders of this crazy small county magistrate.

Since the task was broken down into four large households, the four large households further divided the task into hundreds of middle households. Then, the 100 middle households led the county's self-cultivated farmers and tenants began to bring their own tools according to Yun Zhao's requirements, build ponds, canals, and make water trucks, orange steaks, and overturns.

Hong Chengchou did not leave Lantian County. Yun Zhao knew that he was in Lantian County, but he didn't know where he was.

"I'm afraid there will be no way to find a whole Shaanxi to gather together and get 20,000 dan of food!"

"If the 3,000 dan of grain in the past had already attracted others to covet 3,000 dan of grain in Lantian County, then the 20,000 dan of grain in Lantian County is undoubtedly as dazzling as the bright sun in the sky!"

"The bandits who have the ability to come to Lantian County to rob grain are four bandits of the Holy King, the Guabo King, the Flying Wings, and the King of Zhentian.

Since the food is 20,000 dan, Lantian County will face the convergence of four bandits this time.

Are you ready?"

Mr. Xu has been staying on the large construction site of Yushan Academy these days. After hearing about Yun Zhao's incident, he hurried down the mountain. He didn't even have time to take a sip of water and threw out a series of questions.

Yun Zhao, who was gnawing on the Guokui to check the construction progress report of the pond, curled his lips and said, "This is not something I should be busy with, it is something Hong Chengchou should be busy with.

He probably spread the news that there are 20,000 dan of grain in Lantian County. This person likes to do his best to do his best. I want to see his methods."

"Don't be careless. Once there is a problem with the food, your Yun family will become the sinner pointed by Wanfu of Lantian County."

When Mr. Xu saw Yun Zhao's careless look, he was a little anxious.

Yun Zhao put down the document in his hand, poured a glass of water for Mr. Xu and said, "If I say that the reason why I burned the Yun family's loan notes and the reason why I risked the world's tyrants to fight for my life is not my real purpose, what do you think?"

Xu Yuanshou put down the teacup that had just been brought to his mouth and said seriously: "Are you betting on the life and death of the people of Lantian County?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "There is no way. There are too many people who need help. Once Lantian County starts to use labor for relief, it will immediately attract people who cannot survive elsewhere to squeeze in.

At that time, Lantian County will be overcrowded, and 20,000 harbors of food will not be enough in any case!

You can think about it. The huge Guanzhong is full of famine. It is still winter now, and more than 5,000 victims have arrived in Lantian County.

After the people of Guanzhong found that there was no hope of spring sowing, how many people would you think would squeeze into Lantian County, which seemed to have food?

Is it ten thousand or twenty thousand? I think it is not uncommon for 100,000 victims to come to Lantian County to eat.

So many victims came to Lantian County.

Even if I plundered all the food in Lantian County, I would never be able to take this group of people until the summer grain harvest is harvested.

Even if the summer grain harvest is bumper, the area of ​​a county cannot support so many people. You should know that in Lantian County alone, there are more than 43,000 people who need to eat.

I can’t create food out of thin air, so there’s only the only way to grab it!”

Xu Yuanshou frowned and said, "What do you mean is that you are going to rob the Holy World King, the Melon-Back King, and the Flying Wings, and the King of Heaven-Supering?"

Yun Zhao nodded indifferently and said, "Twenty thousand dans of grain will attract these four giant bandits closest to our Lantian County, which is a good thing for us!

If they don’t come, Lantian County will always live under their shadow and don’t want to live a peaceful life.

Since Hong Chengchou suddenly became the Governor of Yansui and suddenly had military power, he seemed to be a good commander and had the will to destroy these four bandits, why can't I have any other thoughts?

When these four bandits are entangled by Hong Chengchou, why should I plot against the nests of these four people?”

Xu Yuanshou finally drank the glass of water that he had kept at his mouth for a long time and sighed: "It's too risky. Your Yun family's strength is not strong enough to attack a place, let alone you have to divide your troops around."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Teacher, you underestimated the power of the people... The messy truths in my mind told me that the people are the source of all power!

The old thieves of the Yun family took these food-deficient people from Lantian County to get food. In addition to being public, they can also divide the food themselves. Do you think anyone would be willing to take a risk for the food and the treasures in the bandit's nest?

Even if the local people in Lantian County refuse, do you think those refugees are willing?"

Xu Yuanshou put the empty cup on the table with trembling hands, pointed at Yun Zhao and said, "You are not changing your mind. You are going to take all the people from Lantian County to be bandits!"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't have this intention. But if you want to live well in this world, you cannot live without being strong!

Lantian County will plant new grain on a large scale in the future, and this county will definitely become safe and prosperous.

If you don’t even have the power to protect yourself, how can you protect the fruits of your own labor?

Those who do not fight in this damn troubled world die!”

Xu Yuanshou stared at the honest and obese boy in front of him for a long time before whispering: "Are you creating your imperial foundation for you? You didn't adopt the strategy of taking Shuzhong first and then Hanzhong, and encompassing Guanzhong?"

Your base camp will be this Qinling Mountains, am I right?”

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "The teacher's strategy is naturally excellent."

Xu Yuanshou poured himself another glass of water. After drinking it in one sip, he still felt that his mouth was so thirsty. After drinking a pot of water, he said, "In the future, you should tell me more of the great principles in your head that were obtained out of thin air.

I want to listen carefully.”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "From the future, there is still time. Now, the sir should go with me to see the construction site of Beixiang Reservoir. I heard that they are going to lay the water-breaking stone today."

After leaving the study, Yun Zhao returned to the appearance of the lively and active young man. He ordered people to smash the ice layer and poke the ponds, check the depth of the water storage, and then asked the old farmer if it was possible to raise some miscellaneous fish in these ponds.

I would like to encourage the old woman to raise more chickens, and then I would like to discuss with my young wife the possibility of raising ducks on a large scale in the pond.

In short, Yun Zhao wants to spread any news about food to the people through this simplest way of dissemination.

When he arrived at the reservoir construction site, Yun Zhao finally showed a smile on his face.

Beixiang Reservoir originally existed. The last time this reservoir was built was in the Chengzu period. At that time, Emperor Chengzu had just defeated the Mongols and used the harvest of plundering the Mongols to build major projects such as reservoir sorting canals in China.

Unfortunately, the Beixiang Reservoir was not built until Emperor Chengzu's death, and it only left a thick dam for Yun Zhao, the descendant.

Nowadays, there are crowds of people on the dam, and the sound of slamming horns is coming one after another, and countless chicken buses are busy on the dam...

Xu Yuanshou and Yun Zhao stood on a high place and looked down at the Beixiang Reservoir at their feet. Seeing the warm work scene, Xu Yuanshou said with some emotion: "Looking at such a scene always makes people feel excited and I wish I could participate."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You will get used to this kind of scene in the future. Nowadays, these people come to the construction site just because of a free bite of food. When they spontaneously start to think that doing these big projects is for themselves, you will see another exciting scene.

The labor at that time will make people hope that such labor will not consume people's energy and spirit, but will only add more powerful strength.

Sir, I hope that the people of the Ming Dynasty have something they never had before."

"What do you want to give them?"
