Hearing this, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but nodded.

People who are not good to the people are not necessarily bad people, but if they are so good to the people and implement various subsidy measures in such a meticulous way, 80% of the time they will not be bad at all.

Apart from Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen, the one with the most outstanding achievements in Daqian was undoubtedly Emperor Xiaowu.

According to legend, when Emperor Xiaowu was born, he was attacked by an assassin and was forced to live among the people.

I have been a monk and a beggar, and I have experienced the sufferings of the world since I was a child.

As a result, after he was found by the royal family and returned to the throne, a series of measures were promulgated to benefit the people's livelihood.

It also stipulates a series of measures for punishment and mutual supervision between officials to ensure that these decrees that benefit people's livelihood can effectively be implemented on the people.

In particular, this man likes to kill corrupt officials and even issues decrees to prevent officials from fighting with the people.

If anyone is wronged by the entire Daqian people, they can file a complaint in Qiandu.

Officials along the way are not only not allowed to stop them, but they are also required to provide a certain amount of money as travel expenses.

If there is someone who has powerful eyes and hands and is plotting to harm the person who complained, other officials can report him and expose him.

If the situation is true, upgrade to three levels in a row!

He was told that at the least, he would be executed by Qiu Houwen, and at the most serious, he would be barbarian and other tribesmen.

Such a government order can be said to have effectively protected the rights and interests of the people.

Therefore, the Qianwu dynasty was definitely the best dynasty for the common people!

But even so, the people at that time seemed not as wealthy as the people in Huainan at this time.

"It's more than that. If you ask me, my boss is the best boss in the world."

"Other workshops either don't hire women, or the wages are pitifully low."

"But the boss is different. He not only recruits sisters to work, but he is also never stingy with wages."

"Now, as long as the sisters are willing to work hard, a month's salary will be no less than that of men."

When Master Xiang and others heard this, their pupils shrank, their eyes dilated, and they were a little shocked.

"This Gu Shijun is actually unconventional and uses female workers. He is also a pioneer who dares to do so."

"That's right, let me tell you the truth."

"Some time ago, the family was so poor that they couldn't take the blame. The head of the family went into the mountains to hunt. As a result, he encountered a big insect and lost his life."

"I am a weak woman. If my boss hadn't given me this job, how would I have been able to support my children?" When Aunt Zhang spoke, her words were sincere and her emotions were sincere, which really made people feel for her.

"It's not just Aunt Zhang. To put it bluntly, our entire village has benefited a lot from our boss."

"If the boss hadn't hired someone to teach us how to weave and burn the kiln, what would we have done?"

"Aren't we still farmers who work in the fields and can't open the pot all day long?"

"Now, look at it, every household can eat meat every once in a while. During the New Year and festivals, there is still money left to buy clothes for the children and a hairpin for the mother-in-law."

"Thirty years ago, I wouldn't have dared to think of living like this, and I wouldn't change it for a god."

"And my boss doesn't put on any airs. He is always polite when dealing with us, like... like..." Boss Qin hesitated, unable to speak.

"It seems that we are not regarded as farmers, but as people like Yuan Wai Shen." Li Laoer added in due course.

Boss Qin was quite angry when he saw this.

This bastard Li Laoer, taking advantage of the fact that he has been studying in a private school for several years, actually steals the limelight from him everywhere. He is really hateful!

When Mr. Xiang heard this, he also sighed: "This Gu Beichuan has clearly never been an official, how can he be so popular?"

"Sir, people are like water, they can both carry and capsize a boat. Gu Beichuan was kind to the villagers and led them out of poverty. As long as there is some conscience in my heart, I will naturally remember his kindness."

Mr. Xiang nodded, his eyes deep and emotionless.

"Okay, okay, after talking so much, it's time to go to my place and have a look." Boss Qin said anxiously when he saw everyone was in emotion.

When Mr. Xiang heard this, he was startled for a moment, then smiled and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk, little brother, just lead the way."

"Hey, if you come with me, I'll definitely surprise you."

Afterwards, everyone followed Boss Chen to the brick kiln department.

Unlike the textile department, which is entirely indoors, most of the work in the brick kiln department is outdoors.

Brick kilns stood everywhere on the land, and thick smoke rose with flames.

Strong men, shirtless and sweating profusely, kept feeding mud blocks into the brick kiln, taking out the fired bricks and stacking them neatly.

Although the scene was a bit smoky, it was also full of energy.

"Is this the rumored brick?" Mr. Xiang picked up a red brick, rubbed it carefully, and looked at it carefully.

The guards who were not interested in textiles and cloth also stepped forward one after another, with curiosity in their eyes.

They are all veterans of the military. Whether they are marching in battles or guarding palaces, they all wear armor. They really have no interest in cloth. No matter how beautiful and comfortable the clothes they make are, they have no use, right?

But these bricks are different. They are a powerful tool for building cities!

If used properly, I don't know how many brothers would die when defending the city.

"Little brother, can I break it and take a look?" The guard knocked on the red brick again and again, pinched it again, and then said.

"Of course, but you may need some strength to break it apart."

When the guard heard this, he just smiled, and then he exerted force with his hands, and the red brick broke from it.

"Huo, what a strong arm!"

"It's a pity. This brick is hard enough, but a little brittle."

The implication is that it is fine if it is used to build houses, but if it is used to build city walls, it may not look good enough.

After all, city walls have to withstand the impact of powerful weapons such as battering rams!

Sometimes, we have to face even more terrifying siege weapons made by the craftsmen of Tianji.

I remember that once, the Northern Yuan Dynasty went south, hoping to overthrow the Wei Dynasty and take over the Central Plains.

Logically speaking, there are many famous mountains and rivers on the road from the northern grasslands to the Central Plains, but in most places it is just flat plains.

If it is invaded by Bei Yuan, who is good at riding and shooting and is said to be on horseback.

Coupled with the command of Tuoba Tian Khan, who is comparable to a military god, the Wei Dynasty is in danger of annihilation even if it is the emperor's kingdom.

However, the direction of the war was unexpected.

The Wei Dynasty actually forced the Northern Yuan to retreat without any other vassal states taking action, and drove them back to the grassland to recharge their batteries.

What we relied on at that time was a city-defending weapon called a catapult created by the divine craftsman Tianji!

He can throw huge rocks out from the sky and cause the Northern Yuan cavalry to flip over.

If you want to block the bombardment of catapults, these red bricks... seem not to be enough.
