Chapter 94: A Vicious Good Man
Pig food!
As soon as Wei Xiaobai finished speaking, countless pairs of eyes stared at him.
Chen Lin thought of a bad thing, but Wei Xiaobai's words aroused the public's anger. However, Wei Xiaobai shouted loudly: "What do you think? When you eat after you cross the sea, think about whether the food you are eating now is pig food."
Everyone was scared by the fierce Wei Xiaobai.
Wei Xiaobai shouted at Chen Lin again: "It's just for a bite of food and a piece of clothing. Can it be?"
Chen Lin was speechless, Wei Xiaobai was talking about the facts.
Wei Xiaobai's voice became louder: "In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the average annual grain output of each person was 300 kilograms. Now, there is a population of 120 million, how much food does it have? The whole world, the average grain harvested in a year is over the heads of people, not even the 160 kilograms of his mother, what should I eat?"
Chen Lin said nothing, after counting this data, it was true.
How much food is produced in the Tang Dynasty in a year and how many people are there? By counting the number of people, it is really less than 160 kilograms.
Wei Xiaobai smiled coldly: "Governor, you are the Governor. Tell me, according to the human capital, how much food is there, more than 180 kilograms, I, Wei Xiaobai, apologize to you."
Wei Xiaobai pointed to the north: "The governor of Chuting is even more trash. Chuting under his rule is a fertile land and a granary. There is no one with his mother's 130 kilograms."
"Let's talk about cloth."
"At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, there was no eight million pieces of cloth a year, so how much cloth was needed to make a piece of clothing? Have you ever seen paper clothes? How many people in the north wore paper clothes during the winter? Besides, do you have to count according to the head of the people, and each person has a new clothes a year, yes, or not."
The people on the dock were frightened.
The one who stood there was angry and didn't know who it was, but the one who said nothing was a governor.
For ordinary people, the county magistrate is the heaven, and the governor is too high, they dare not even think about it.
Wei Xiaobai lit a cigarette and sent Chen Lin one, but Chen Lin refused after thanking her.
Wei Xiaobai's tone slowed down: "Don't say I'm fighting with you, Xiao Si, you know. Xiao Si followed me and brought eighteen thousand people, and I guaranteed Xiao Si that the minimum of five hundred kilograms of white rice per person a year is white rice, and the rice that was ground with bran with shells and bran. The bottom two pieces of linen cloth and a string of money."
"This is the lowest, the effort you do, the good ones you do, the double, and the double again."
Chen Lin nodded silently. He had speculated on this data and sent someone to investigate it secretly. Although Xiao Si's mouth was very tight, he didn't say anything, but the rice collected by the furnace workers was indeed piled up there.
Chen Lin can calculate how much Wei Xiaobai gave them.
Wei Xiaobai said again: "Yue Jing, a good man. He was beaten up and his face was stung. He would take people to chop people for me. This is a life-threatening job. The income of his subordinates and soldiers is at least three times as guaranteed by Xiao Si. You say, is my wife suffering? Is it hard to survive such a big scene? Is it hard to suffer."
"bitter!"
"Leizhou, why are you pretentious? I have the time to fight with you, and I have the time to pretentiously. Five million stones of rice will not be transported back, so I feel sorry for the rain. So many people want to eat, so many people want to survive. You are a carpenter in Leizhou, the old blue boatman, who works for seven hours a day, why?"
Chen Lin took three steps back and bowed to Wei Xiaobai.
Wei Xiaobai also responded with a long look.
After getting up, Wei Xiaobai said, "Go to drink, don't blame me, I can't do anything about it."
"I borrowed Bai Ge'er's wine and I was accused of it."
Wei Xiaobai and Chen Lin left.
Several men on the dock silently put down their bowls, looked at each other, and walked towards the place where the dock was parked. Soon, more and more people behind them followed them to the boat.
The boats on the pier include rice bags that need to be carried by manpower from under the boat, and wood that needs to be lifted.
Rice is for food for the five towns, and wood is for the five towns to arrange people to make a large number of daily necessities. To be sad, Zhan Po doesn’t even have a pair of chopsticks per person, so he eats by hand. Not to mention the wheelbarrows, chariots and other tools used to transport grain.
More importantly, craftsmen from the five towns need to make crossbow frames for Qiongya, which is what is most needed.
It was originally dark that I didn't have to work anymore.
These people also felt that they wouldn't do anything after hearing Wei Xiaobai's words. I'm sorry for the bowl of rice I ate. If the five million stones of rice were soaked in heavy rain, they would feel uncomfortable.
Having a good official is a blessing.
That official is a good official. Although he dresses like a beggar and speaks and curses, he is a good person.
Wei Xiaobai's fire was not hiding anyone's fire. A soldier on the dock listened and passed the words to his boss. Soon Du Zichun, Yu Zhengqing, and even Princess Li Zhaoning heard it.
Yu Zhengqing only said one thing to Li Zhaoning: "Your Highness, bring the princess back to Qiongnan City."
Li Zhaoning was just laughing.
They all understood that Wei Xiaobai did it on purpose. This was said to Alin, and in fact it was also said to the Five Towns, and it was even more for these people who were preparing to go to Qiongya to listen to it.
This is making trouble.
After all, Yu Zhengqing had to let Wei Xiaobai brake, otherwise if he continued to do so, the five towns might raise an army against Chu Ting Mansion and would directly rebel.
After all, they have been suppressed for too many years.
At present, the five towns cannot resist, and they cannot rebel in the future.
Yu Zhengqing wanted to take over Chu Ting peacefully, but he didn't want to fight him down.
In the banquet hall, when Chen Lin saw Li Zhaoning, she gave a big gift. Hu Chengde, who was holding a wine bowl, also ran over and accompanied her to give a big gift, followed by Du Zichun.
Li Zhaoning was completely true in such a scene. He said a lot of comforting words and drew a few big pie.
For example, the five towns will arrange for all dressing and put on good weapons.
In Leizhou, there will be a college established by exiled officials such as Du Zichun. Whether it is money, paper, ink, books, etc.
When it comes to food, Wei Xiaobai is actually helpless.
In real history, the per capita grain output in the Kaiyuan Prosperity era has not surpassed many dynasties after more than a thousand years. In modern times, it was only in the early 1980s that it exceeded the per capita grain output in the Kaiyuan Prosperity era.
To the end of appeasement, Li Zhaoning expressed a goal: "The government believes that the current priority is to allow people to equalize the food, cloth, salt and iron within one year. Although the people in the lower world do not count the population, they also have to calculate the consumption of a portion of food separately, and all the officials should use their lives."
"We'll receive the order."
The average per capita is 300 kilograms. This data feels like a life challenge for officials other than Qiongya.
Yu Zhengqing understood that if there were 20,000 people in Qiongya at that time, it would have exceeded this level long ago. However, now that the original people of Qiongya joined, they should also guide them to know how to farm.
