Chapter 31 Love the People as Sons
Wei Baiping's head roared, but he didn't understand the meaning, so he said, "Ming Gong, move the rope forward a little."
He was shorter than Wang Ju, so he had to lift the front and move the basket rope forward. He would have more weight and less weight. In fact, Wang Ju put the basket rope slightly backward.
"Wei Baiping, I was born in a cold and bitter way. I tried to support me and my younger brothers and sisters at the age of twelve. I planted more than ten acres of land at the age of thirteen and could endure hardships."
"But Ming Gong is Wenquxing."
"If I were Wenquxing, you were also Xingxing. Everyone was using their wisdom and hard work to ignite the bright light and ignite the prosperity and strength of the Song Dynasty."
"Ming Gong said so well."
The two of them came to the edge of the future canal, put down the stone, and returned to lift it again.
Li Wan then realized, hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother-in-law, you can't do this."
"Why can't you do this?"
"You are an official."
"Second brother, I'll ask you, am I a human?"
"It's a human, but..."
"Are the villagers human?"
"It's a human, but..."
Wang Ju didn't wait for him to say the word "成成" and asked again: "Am I a native of the Song Dynasty? Are the villagers from the Song Dynasty? Our Taizu and Zhao Pu Gong talked about Qi people, what is Qi people?"
"but……"
"I don't want it, second brother, you are my second brother, so I'll take the lead and help the villagers."
Li Wan was stupid and came to persuade him, but he also took him in.
In fact, Li Wan doesn’t understand the mind technique he mentioned. This is the real mind technique.
Although the court would spend a lot of money, the people may not be happy. Originally, Shaanxi was the hardest hit area for various military service, military service, labor service, and service.
Now the court only provides food and no other subsidies. If you help for one month, it would be fine, but this practice may last for two or three years. If you are assigned to the fields in the future, you will be very happy, but then you are doing free labor now. Do you really have no work to do? Even if Wang Ju said that it was possible to light the water and light the lamp, everyone still felt a little resentful.
However, if you go down and take the lead, everyone will feel different.
In fact, in terms of ethics, he is far inferior to Fan Zhongyan. Not to mention Fan Zhongyan, who is the most unparalleled ethics in three hundred years. Even compared to Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, Bao Zheng and others, he is not as good as Wang Anshi.
I can only say that it is similar to Han Qi, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu. Anyway, everyone is in a mess.
The rules mentioned by Zhao Xu have been repeatedly used by Wang Ju. He respects the rules and goes to hell. If the power is great enough, he will not only use the rules, but also dare to trample on the rules.
He looks glamorous because his life is not too luxurious. Although he is scheming in his work, he is willing to take the lead, be willing to take risks, and be willing to think. Instead of other scholars and officials holding beautiful prostitutes, drinking fine wine, shouting with their mouths, be kind, righteous, frugal, or writing with their pen, but not knowing the joy of the prefect, and then there is nothing. This one is far better than many scholars and officials.
How many scholars and officials were in charge of water conservancy and did this like him?
So in the army, he won the morale of the army, and among the people, he won the hearts of the people.
In fact, just like Wu Qi sucking pus for soldiers, this is both a mental technique, and it is a very clever mental technique.
The stones raised this time were a little heavy, and Wang Ju said, "Wei Baizhuang, have a call."
"Good come."
The two yelled at each other.
The effect was immediate, and the entire construction site was yelling and the atmosphere immediately became hot. Stop complaining, even the camp and field commanders were wearing draft shoes and working in person.
The sun gradually sets, and the county magistrate saw that the time was coming, and the soldiers sounded the horn of the quest for the work.
Wang Ju turned his horse and returned to Jingyang County.
But almost all the migrant workers and soldiers looked at him silently, and surrounded the Poche soldiers sent by the battalion of Huachi County to guide the blasting, asking questions.
"What's so strange about this? Do you know that when he heard that Magistrate Wang would not return to Huachi County, how many people cried? His younger brother and sister left Huachi County, and then thousands of people kept sending him, some were sent out of Ziwu Mountain and to Zhiluo County."
"Who loves the people so much?"
"That's natural. Do you know that he has traveled almost every corner of Huachi County, and then he is familiar with the terrain and flooded the Xixia army. The magistrate said that if I don't accept gifts, I hate receiving gifts the most. This is his family's departure from Huachi County. If he himself went to Huachi County, the people would not let go, and they would not even want to leave. Do you see the Fanzi beside him? He is a strong captain of the Fan tribe, with the courage to resist ten thousand men. In the battle of Dashun City, seven or eight enemies were killed.
Who would like to follow Magistrate Wang? Other officials dare not touch the son of the Fanzi. Magistrate Wang went to various magistrates alone, whipped with whips, or even killed people, but Magistrate everyone was grateful and called Mr. Wang, "What is me, my kind father!" Because Magistrate Wang truly loves the people as his son, works fairly, and takes the lead in all hard work. He takes the initiative to build water conservancy with you, and you are worth it. If you go to Huachi County, how many people are eagerly looking forward to Magistrate Wang becoming their parents."
"That's how good it seems."
"What are you talking about? Why is it so ugly? What's the truth? County Magistrate Wang is a rare good official in the world."
"Yes, I remembered it, brother, what's your name?" asked one person.
"My name is Wei Baizhuang."
"Ming Gong and you lift the stones and put the ropes behind the bar."
"Why don't I know?"
The entire construction site was talking a lot. Hou Ke stood by and listened for a long time, sighed slightly in his heart, and was impressed, at least the people were in love.
The second day king was still like this.
So even the construction site on Xiao Zhengquan was spread.
Yang Pan was in trouble, and Wang Ju took the lead, so he had to take the lead, put down his frame and rolled up his sleeves. He didn't have the strength of Wang Ju, but he could do some small tasks.
The third heavenly king is still the same.
But on the fourth day, Wang Ju stopped and had to stop because he was about to start blasting the fused cave. Wang Ju had no experience in this thing, but had never eaten pork. Have you seen the pig run away?
And in order to increase the power, the amount of gunpowder packs this time is very large. Each one is more than 200 kilograms and is wrapped in iron. Therefore, Wang Ju must personally command and observe the rock situation after the blasting to prevent accidents.
Not only him, but also Hou Ke also came.
Two loud noises came out, the sky shook and the earth moved, and they became jubilant with the people.
What does it mean to have this weapon? What kind of canal can be repaired. The court promised that the fertile land distributed to them would be realized in the future, and their construction time would be shorter.
Wang Ju directed everyone, quickly carried the stone away, and then walked over to watch. This is the beginning, and it has to continue.
But Wang Ju still took the time to look at everyone's food and the stability of the shed.
I love the people as much as my son, so the playful meat comes.
In the evening of that day, Wang Ju and Hou Ke returned to the county town.
The county magistrate of Song came forward and said, "A dozen gentry were waiting for the two of them in the county government, saying that they would like to see each other if they had something to do."
"I understand. County Magistrate Hou, guess what is their intention?"
"It's hard to say."
"Minister Hou. Our dynasty is the most important thing. Why is there no friend around you, but there are many enemies?"
"It's not strong enough." Hou Ke sighed and said, "Wang Ju's words are not false, but not the Liao Kingdom of Xixia. Dali cannot be regarded as an enemy, but definitely not a friend. Jiaozhi people are even more dishonest. Tubo was originally a friend, but now it is gradually turning to Xixia. Xihe is about to bow his head and surrender to Xixia. How can he be called a friend?
The Western Regions are friends, and Goryeo is friends, but is that a neighbor?
"It's only one aspect that is not strong enough, but another aspect that is to be harmonious."
"How to say it?"
"I have to buy peace with others when I feel soft, but people have no intention, and the country is the same. I have given money today, and they will think of one tael of silver tomorrow, and one tael of gold the day after tomorrow. Not only will these countries be insatiable, but they seem to be taken for granted. Then, even friends are not done, and in the end they are full of enemies. If you want friends, you must learn to hold a big stick in one hand and a fruit in the other, and you will be obedient to eat the fruit, and you will beat the disobedient big stick unceremoniously. Of course, if you don't give the fruit, you will inevitably end up with a poor soldier and a depressed martial arts."
Hou Ke pondered and said, "But if you don't become strong, how can you dance the big stick?"
"What does the county magistrate Hou mean to be powerful? Do you have to be military? Diplomacy is not strong, and the economy is not strong? For example, what will happen if the Xixia is blocked for ten or eight years? And this is only the initial stage. Just like the Qin State, they are so smart that they can get along with each other, and they are aiming to wield fruits and sticks, and achieve them for hundreds of years. That is the ultimate."
"However, Qin State quickly perished."
"That is inevitable. Li Si said that because the Taishan Mountain does not allow the soil, it can be made big; the rivers and seas do not choose the streams, so it can be made deep; the king does not despise the masses, so it can understand its virtue. Therefore, the land has no direction, the people have no foreign country, the four seasons are full of beauty, and ghosts and gods bring blessings. The reason why these five emperors and three kings are invincible is two problems. One is the way of using people, and the measurement is only the use of talents. Therefore, the King of Qin knew that Zheng was a spy from the Koreans, but he used it to build the Zheng canal, so Qin became richer and stronger. But what people did Qin Shihuang use after unifying the world? The second question is that the land has no direction, and the people have no foreign country. Since we are all in the world, everyone in the world should be regarded as Qin, but how did Qin treat the people of the six countries? In this way, how could the Qin Dynasty not perish?"
“This seems to be another statement.”
"The truth is the same. For example, if our dynasty doesn't ask for people from the enemy country, why are there any differences between the north and the south? What is the saying that the people in the south are all treacherous people, and there are no good people in the south?"
"But it is true that the southerners are not as simple as the northerners."
"The county magistrate Hou may be like Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo."
“That’s right.”
"Then let me say another word, if Wang Qinruo was not fighting alone in Daming Mansion, how could the enemy force the enemy to negotiate peace under the city of Chanyuan? But Kou Zhun thought that the merits of Chanzhou were his own, and he bragged about it, and used the southerners to mock Wang Qinruo. If it were Han Gong or Ouyang Gong, would he fight back?"
"Wang Qinruo charmed the Lord and went to Fengshan, and accepted bribes."
"Wang Qinruo did not show off the auspiciousness of Zhenzong, how could Wang Qinruo please him? Besides, Kou Zhun seemed to have agreed with the auspiciousness of Zhenzong? He accepted some bribes, but Hou Magistrate, ask yourself, how many scholars and officials in the north have sent their families to conduct business, mergers, and business, and how have they paid commercial taxes? It's better to have annexed land? What's the difference between this and bribery? I won't talk about the courage Wang Qinruo showed in Daming Mansion. Besides, Kou Zhun, his life is so corrupt, you know if you want to believe it. Why do you laugh at a hundred steps in fifty steps?"
"Zi'an, are you trying to tell where you are."
"Okay, then I'll ask again. Today, I estimate that the cultivated land can reach nearly 7 million hectares, and the household area is only 2 million hectares. Where are these lands? Has it been stolen by heaven? And Zheng Baiqu's land?"
Hou Ke finally got speechless.
Isn't it that everyone is with each other?
"Okay, these are not the scope of your and my discussion. Let's see what these gentry are doing. Love the people as your son, don't make a mistake, I'm awesome to kill people."
Hou Ke shivered for a moment (to be continued) (Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
