"Go and play."

When Zhao Xu walked towards the naughty boy in the village, a group of villagers came over.

The leader was an elder who dispersed the naughty boy and rushed over.

"Feng Zheng, the Li Zheng, met His Highness, the King of Yan." When he came to Zhao Xu, the old man saluted.

"Please get up, my father-in-law." Zhao Xu looked at Feng Zheng.

The administrative unit in Dasong is basically the smallest, which is equivalent to the contemporary village chief.

Yesterday, Liu Fu had already told Feng Zheng what King Yan was coming today.

At this time, he explained: "Your Highness, Feng Zheng was elected by the people of the village. He is the most respected and he will handle all the small disputes in the village."

Zhao Xu clicked.

In ancient times, there was always the saying that the imperial power did not go to the countryside.

It means that officials basically cannot control the countryside.

Most of the countryside affairs are handled by local geniuses.

The government only deals with local geniuses and asks them to collect taxes.

This led to fundamental problems in ancient society.

The so-called local sages firmly control the countryside.

These local geniuses colluded with the powerful gentry, firmly controlled the people in their own hands, and made profits freely.

He naturally considered this issue.

So he broke the old rural system of Dasong and rebuilt the organizational structure of Yanjun countryside.

Because the people cultivated the fields of the royal palace.

The royal palace can naturally dominate the people.

He did not need the local genius to urge the people to pay the food for him, and the value of the local genius would be gone.

Therefore, now the royal palace has easily taken the jurisdiction of these people.

The former hometown genius was abolished.

Nowadays, the village is directly elected by the people, rather than the lackeys picked out from the village by the rich and gentry colluded with each other.

These are just like the contemporary village chiefs, who are responsible for the affairs of the village and obey the government office.

Every month, Li Zheng can also receive a salary from the royal palace.

But accordingly, the government will conduct government inspections on these areas every year, and those who fail the qualifications must continue.

In addition to the inside and the front, each village has five security chiefs.

These security chiefs are responsible for daily production matters, and each leads a team of village soldiers.

Responsible for defending the enemy in wartime and responsible for the security of the village in peacetime.

"Your Highness, these are the five security chiefs." Liu Fu continued to introduce.

"See Your Highness." The five saluted Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction. These five chiefs were all young and strong.

"How did the authentic tunnels in the village be dug?"

After meeting everyone, he asked Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng made a request to clean up and led Zhao Xu to the village.

"The rice seeds have been planted, and now the people in the village are idle. In the past two days, Wang Fu told him to dig tunnels to resist the Beidi people. The people in the village are very active, and now every household is digging." Feng Zheng was careful.

He was very old and was in poverty for half his life.

Suddenly being elected as the Li Zheng, and being able to get a salary from the royal palace, becoming half an official, naturally I feel cherished it.

I dare not be careless in anything on weekdays, and I do everything myself.

Zhao Xu stopped in front of a fence yard.

Looking at the thatched hut inside, I suddenly saw a woman closing the door.

Then a man walked out of it and seemed a little restrained.

Feng Zheng glanced at him, worried that Zhao Xu would blame the villagers for being rude, and explained: "Your Highness, don't blame the villagers. The villagers are poor. Some people in the family only wear pants. Often, whoever goes out will wear them out..."

Speaking of this, Feng Zheng stopped talking, and obviously the meaning below was self-evident.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he was both embarrassed and sad.

He knew that Yanjun was poor, but he didn't expect that it would be so poor that the whole family shared a pair of pants.

And this is the capital of Yan County, Yan County, and Yan City.

This is true here, so there is no need to think about other places.

"I didn't expect that the people of Yan County were so embarrassed." He turned around and sighed.

Liu Fuchang was in the countryside, and he was already commonplace for this.

He said: "Your Highness has been in the palace since he was a child. He ate fine clothes and food, and wore silk and satin. It is normal that you have never seen such a scene. But you don't have to be sad. When the rice harvest this year, the people of Yan County will have a better life."

Speaking of this, Feng Zheng and the five security chiefs all smiled, their faces full of longing.

"The land in the royal palace only charges 10% of the rent. After the harvest is completed, the villagers will not be able to finish eating. Then they can sell it and earn a few taels of silver, and they will be able to add new clothes at that time." Feng Zheng became happier and happier as he spoke.

The guarantors all nodded, and one guarantor said, "Now there are no villagers in Yan County who don't feel grateful to Your Highness. It's your Highness that everyone has hope, otherwise this life will be boring."

After saying this, Zhao Xu's mood improved a lot.

I thought it was worth it to do this business if I lost money.

In his present day, he was also an ordinary citizen.

And isn’t what the people want just hope?

Whoever gave this hope, thousands of people were willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood.

Currently, I can't get into this room.

Zhao Xu went to the next hut under Feng Zheng's leadership.

A father and son lived in this thatched hut, and Zhao Xu walked in.

"Your Highness, there is an authentic tunnel under this fake stove. Just take the stove open and you can get in." Feng Zhenglan explained, "But the time is too short and you haven't dug too deep."

The thatched hut is very cool, and the mud land is already very strong due to long-term trampling.

The layout of the house is also very simple.

There are three rooms, one dormitory, one main hall, and one cooking room, and there are some rough tables and chairs in the room.

The owner of the hut, father and son, looked scared at this time.

After hearing Feng Zheng's words, the father of the group explained: "Your Highness, the grass-roots have been digging day and night, and they have never dared to be lazy."

When Zhao Xu heard this, he laughed, "Don't be afraid, I didn't blame you, don't be anxious, dig slowly."

The father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

They used to work in the Du family's farm.

If something is not done well, it will be beaten and scolded.

The King of Yan was flattered by their friendly appearance.

He looked at the tunnel leading from the stove to the bottom. Zhao Xu and everyone left and went to see many people one after another.

Overall, the authenticity has just begun, and only the prototype can be seen.

But he was not in a hurry. If he continued to dig like this, it would be almost done in a month.

After staying in Fushi Village for a while, he and Liu Fu and his party set off again and went to other villages.

Like the deterioration of Pumice Village, the village institutions in these villages have been established, and the production and excavation of authentic tunnels are both exciting and exciting.

"Liu Fu, you're doing a good job." In the evening.

Zhao Xu basically transferred all the villages around Yancheng and was very satisfied with the current rural situation in Yan County.

After all, in the agricultural era, the vast majority of the population was in the countryside.

If you master the countryside, you will master the world.

Liu Fu sighed: "The lower official is just to implement His Highness's orders. If His Highness had not redeemed these lands with the profits of the Chamber of Commerce, the lower official would not have been able to make the countryside of Yan County so vibrant even if he vomited three liters of blood."

"You are still self-aware." Xu Lie joked about Liu Fu. The two of them were used to making trouble, so they felt uncomfortable if they didn't make a few words.

Zhao Xu smiled, feeling unprecedented peace.

His fiefdom has finally improved, and in the future, he will make Yan County better.

"Your Highness, look!" Xu Lie suddenly screamed at this time, and his face changed drastically.

Zhao Xu looked along his hand and saw smoke and dust rolling on the official road, as if thousands of troops were coming.
