Qin Feng only brought Eunuch Le and Wu Ling. At this moment, Wu Ling had already removed his shackles, but in front of these two people, he had no intention of escaping. Whether it was Qin Feng or Eunuch Le, both of them could easily subdue him. What's more, he also felt curious and wanted to see what Changyang County has become now, so that Qin Feng would be so confident that he would let him see the new Changyang County.

Wuling was originally a native of Changyang County, and he was extremely familiar with this land. Years of war made Changyang County the most damaged land in the Ming Dynasty. There were no ten people left, no one in ten miles, with wild grass and ruins everywhere. The smoke and fire were the reflection of Changyang County in Wuling's mind in the past.

"Wu Ling, I specially took you out of the team and walked the trail, just to let you see a real Changyang County, so that you wouldn't think I had arranged something specifically." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Wu Ling snorted, not very convinced that Changyang County could have any huge changes in a short period of time. It would be better for Qin Feng to make such arrangements, so he was waiting to see something tragic, so he slapped Qin Feng in the face.

Walking on the undulating country road, the spring rain just now made the road ******** the best thing is that the three of them are not ordinary people. Although they are splashing all over the mud, they are not very difficult.

I have been walking for half a day and still haven't seen the crowd. On both sides of the road, the land that originally looked like some fertile fields is now growing wildly, and the greenness moves with the wind, but it makes people unable to get any interest.

Qin Feng bent down and picked up a pile of soil from the ground, sighing: "There was only a small amount of land suitable for cultivation in Changyang County. It was supposed to be planted with grain, but now it is deserted and there is still no one!"

"Your Majesty, you will get better slowly." Eunuch Le comforted: "For years of war, coupled with the rebellion of Shuntian Army, Changyang County was almost empty, but now there is no war, there will always be more people."

"That's right, but it takes at least a whole generation!" Turning to look at Wu Ling, "Wu Ling, have you seen it? This is the evil done by the Shuntian Army."

Wu Ling retorted and said, "Why must it be the Shuntian Army? When the Shuntian Army was not up, would Changyang County have a good life? It's not that they can't survive. Even if they planted grains, how many grains were left in the hands of the people? Why did the Shuntian Army respond in Changyang County? Why could it sweep Changyang County in a very short time? Isn't it because they can't survive?"

Qin Feng thought for a while and nodded: "You are right. But what did you do after you took Changyang County? Are you doing a light tax, reduced rent and interest, and let the people live a stable life, or are you destroying and forcing the people to burn, kill and loot along the way? Is there a big difference between you and the officials in Qianyue? If you really want to tell me, you are even worse, because those people left a few grains of food for the people, but you didn't even leave a place for the people."

"If you want to have a great chaos, you must first be in chaos. If your predecessors don't make sacrifices, how can future generations enjoy peace? Qin Feng, you don't have to talk too much. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Of course, you will say it now." Wu Ling said unconvincedly.

"You are not good at your head!" Qin Feng shook his head and smiled: "The Shuntian Army received strong support from the people in the early stage. They believed that you could bring them a good life, but what happened later? Why are fewer and fewer people supporting you? Have you ever thought about this question? Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. What do the people follow you? Of course, they are trying to live a safe and stable life, but you can't give it to them. Whether it is Moro or Wu Xin, I have thought it wrong from the bottom of it. The people's eyes are sharp, and the people are the most realistic."

After throwing the mud out, Qin Feng wiped his hands on his clothes and said to Eunuch Le, "Ma Xiangnan is doing well in Changyang County now, but too few people are indeed a major problem that hinders the development of Changyang County. We must find a way to cause a large number of people to come to Changyang County."

"Your Majesty, but this is not easy!" Eunuch Le smiled and said, "Now the counties of the Ming Dynasty are developing rapidly, and life is getting better and better. Who would like to let people from other places leave their hometowns and come to Changyang County? Besides, Changyang County is really not a good place. It has few land, many mountains, and inconvenient transportation. It is not as good as those outside!"

"In comparison, there are always worse places." Qin Feng thought for a while: "Or you can find a way from the four counties in the north."

Eunuch Le is also a person with agility. He thought for a moment, "Is Your Majesty trying to touch the minds of those barbarians?"

Qin Feng laughed: "The problem of the four counties in the north is solved within this year. At that time, hundreds of thousands of barbarians could not allow them to escape to the mountains. If this were the case, maybe a person like Murong Hong would pop up to cause trouble for us after decades of defeating them. So, after defeating them, I want to move some of the barbarians to Changyang County. It is not a solution for them to squeeze into the four counties in the north."

"The barbarians are wild, so I'm afraid they are not easy to control." Eunuch Le was a little worried.

Qin Feng pointed to the land in front of him: "The barbarians are also humans. Eunuch Le, don't forget that now we are the Ming Dynasty, and those with barbarian bloodlines do not know Fanfan. We have long been unable to tell who is the barbarian and who is the Ming people? Move them here, divide the land, give houses, and let them farm peacefully, and they will still rebel? I don't think so. In a few decades, they will eat the Ming Dynasty's food, pay taxes, read the Ming Dynasty's books, and intermarry with the Ming people. Who will remember the past? I said before that the common people are the most realistic. Whether they are the Ming people or the barbarians, as long as you let them live a good life, he will remember your goodness."

"Your Majesty's holy thoughts are very far away, and I can't imagine these things. I just remember that people often say that if you are not in our clan, your heart will be different." Eunuch Le said justice.

"This is a big problem. Now there are many tribes in my Ming Dynasty, and everyone is fighting for the Ming Dynasty." Qin Feng said unhappily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm so confused." Eunuch Le nodded repeatedly.

Wu Ling, who was on the other hand, was a little surprised. Now the barbarians are in the four counties in the north and everyone understands the idea of ​​replacing the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Emperor Qin Feng is considering here how to make these barbarians live a stable life in the future. This mind is really admirable.

This made him think of Moro involuntarily. The gap between the two was a bit big!

"Your Majesty, there is a small village ahead. We have been walking for half a day. Why not go there to rest, drink some hot water, and ask for some food before rushing!" Eunuch Le pointed to a village ahead.

It was a small village with only more than ten houses. What surprised Wu Ling was that these more than ten houses were exactly the same, but it looked like a house built by a master.

"Let's go and have a look." Qin Feng nodded.

Outside the village head, a stone tablet was erected. Several people gathered in front of the stone tablet and looked at the inscriptions on it. Wu Ling finally understood why these houses were exactly the same.

Because these houses were built here by soldiers from the Hanshan Camp, which wiped out their own pillars.

"At the beginning of Changyang, the people returned home, but Changyang County was already out of shape by your Shuntian Army. Where can the people have a home to live? In order to allow the people to have a place to live, the Ming army sent a lot of people to build houses for the people in the village that was originally destroyed. This village was built at that time, right?" Qin Feng sighed and pointed to the monument: "The big village with more than 100 households, there are only more than ten households left now. Poor!"

Wu Ling's face felt a little hot. In order to force the people of Changyang County to go to war with them, the Shuntian Army burned down the people's houses, snatched all the people's property, and let everyone set out with the army. This was why the Shuntian Army was in Changyang, with hundreds of thousands of people.

When I stepped into the entrance of the village, the sound of dogs barking came from inside. The small village almost saw the head at a glance. Although the village was small, the road inside was spacious and was paved with stone slabs, and there was no mud. The house was made of earthen bricks. It was simple, but also generous, but it was the style of the army building a house.

With the sound of dog barking, Xiaoshang's village immediately became lively, and people from every household came out to look around. In such a small village, there was no way to see outsiders at all, and dogs barked a few times. So when the sound of dog barking, the village knew that outsiders were coming.

An old man with patches on his body walked out of the first yard and saw three foreigners in front of him who were muddy but still couldn't hide their glossy faces. He looked more or less surprised. He walked to the three of them and said, "Are the three guests passing by here?"

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, old man, we are going to Changyang County City, passing here, wanting to ask for saliva, but I don't know if it's convenient?"

The old man laughed: "What's wrong with it? Our village is remote and few people usually come. The guests want to go to Changyang County City, but they have taken the wrong path. From us, we have to take a lot of roads."

"It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing to do, it's good to take a look around the way." Qin Feng replied with a smile. Eunuch Le is a eunuch, and it's easy for people to hear the problem as soon as he opens his mouth, so Qin Feng came out to answer.

"Is the chef official a medicinal material merchant? Let's take a look at the medicinal material harvest this year? This is a little earlier, and it's still early to get the first phase!" the old man smiled.

"Yes, yes, the county magistrate Ma promotes medicinal materials throughout the county. We who collect medicines and make medicines are always a little worried. There are too few people in Changyang County. We are afraid that if we can't collect them at that time, we will cause trouble if we miss the problem." Qin Feng replied in accordance with the old man's words.

"The guests are relieved. Planting medicinal materials is not a problem. Moreover, the county sends people to patrol every once in a while, so we are all concerned. Now the village has no labor and cannot grow anything else, so we just point to these things and sell them for money. How dare you not be careful? The guests ask the house, the house is simple, so don't dislike the guests." The old man answered while giving in to the few people.
