The problem of Wanyan Shouchun is also the problem of the entire Jin delegation. They really can't figure out why there is such a big difference just by a river. Moreover, even when the Jin Dynasty's rule on Shandong East Road had not yet collapsed, there were countless green forest heroes in the local area.

Why did the Ming Kingdom have experienced such earth-shaking changes in just one or two years of rule in Shandong?

If it is said that the rulers of the country are all a group of people who are well-read poetry and good at etiquette and education, they can still understand it. But in fact, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty were unbiased grassland people. In terms of birth, they are even worse than those of the Jurchens who have been in the sinicization for nearly a hundred years.

But even such a ruler who was even more barbaric than barbarians made the Ming Dynasty show the attitude of a civilized country and a country of etiquette everywhere.

Hearing their questions, Wang Wentong, who was in charge of the reception, smiled confidently and said: "In Ming Dynasty, no one would be willing to become a bandit."

"Why?" Before Wanyan Shouchun could answer, Zhang Xingxin, the Minister of Rites of the Jin Dynasty, blurted out: "It was the Ming army who was decisive in killing, so did he kill all the bandits in the territory?"

For neighbors separated by a river, the Jin Kingdom also paid a lot of attention to the situation in Shandong Province. In the first two months after the Ming army took down the East and West Road in Shandong, a vigorous bandit suppression operation was carried out. In order to thoroughly clean up, local garrisons were also used.

I heard that there were 20,000 strong men arrested, and including their families, there were as many as 60,000 to 70,000. In order to completely eliminate the emergence of bandits, a large-scale mobilization of the mountainous areas within the territory was carried out. Almost all the villages inside were moved out, and it became a real place where people were rarely visited.

Zhang Xingxin agreed with this kind of treatment very much. He even felt that if the Jin court had enough energy and courage, it would be better to conduct a major sweep in the Nanjing Road area. In this way, when they return, they would not always encounter bandits who wanted to block the road and rob.

Although the real threat to them is zero, it is really distracting to keep harassing.

"Brother Xinfu is only half right!" Wang Wentong's smile on his face calmed down a little, and he became a little solemn: "Killing can only solve the temporary difficulties, not the lifelong difficulties. And the people's livelihood is so difficult. As long as the people have no food and clothing, bandits will ban them and continue to stop them."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the busy people on both sides of the official road and said, "Does Brother Xinfu know the origin of these people?"

While speaking, men with naked upper body were waving their sickles to cut the mature wheat pieces down one by one. Some women were also busy in the field and hugging the cut wheat from time to time. Then, they cooperated with their young and strong husband to tie the wheat together.

Zhang Xingxin noticed that some men still had scars on their bodies. The wound did not seem to be caused by ordinary people at all. In addition, there were also people with words engraved on their faces. In this case, only those who violated the law would be treated like this.

Wanyan Shouchun also saw that there was a problem with the identity of these people and immediately said, "Did you forgive these extremely sinful people and give them land so that they are no different from ordinary people?"

"Why not?" Wang Wentong asked back: "They may have made mistakes before, but they did not commit any serious crimes. And there were also various injustices. Before the Ming Dynasty came to Shandong's territory, these people took advantage of the chaos to escape into the mountains and occupy the mountains as kings. They often robbed the past business trips and harmed the places.

However, since our Ming army came, all the evils were eliminated. After the trial, those who committed minor crimes were directly pardoned for the people, and they formed a village and placed here."

"I heard for a long time that the Ming Dynasty's government is kind and kind, but I don't want to be kind and kind?" In the Jin Dynasty, those who dare to follow the thief, regardless of the severity of the crime, will only be punished by death.

Listening to Zhang Xingxin's sigh, Wang Wentong added: "Brother Xinfu isn't he curious about why there are no thieves in our Ming Kingdom? The government's kindness is the second, and the farmer has the land is the third. I believe you should have heard of it. Our Ming Kingdom treats people from all directions together. As long as you are willing to be the people of our Ming Kingdom and be stable in our Ming Kingdom, the king will give them land and give them the foundation for their survival.

And even if you are unwilling to farm, you can go to the workshops in the city to work. In short, the people will not be able to make a living."

"This is a good governance. But how should those who are lacking in their bodies, not diligent in grains, and old, weak and rude, beggars?" Zhang Xingxin asked curiously again. He had never seen ragged beggars in the territory of Ming Dynasty. No matter how you say this, it was a bit abnormal.

Moreover, these people could not do anything. He wanted to know how the Ming government would resettle these people.

Wang Wentong did not hide it and introduced them to the "Anqingyuan".

In order to solve the survival problem of those who are really unsupported and unable to support themselves, Ulutus proposed that the Ministry of Revenue establish a "care home". Those abandoned babies, children, elderly people over 50 years old, and those who are physically disabled and abandoned by their families were sent to the "care home" by the government.

In order to make these people support themselves in the nursing home as much as possible, the government will also assign some manual work to the nursing home. There is not much money, but it can improve the living environment in the hospital. As for those who have some feet but don’t want to work, the nursing home will never accept it.

After all, the money from the government is not used to support those lazy people.

After chatting like this, the group had arrived at the outskirts of Huang County in Dengzhou.

Compared with other prefectures, Huang County looks much richer. Because many of the fields in the suburbs have been reclaimed, almost all of them have been planted with wheat, and are now harvesting in full swing.

During this busy farming season, many men and women are busy in the fields.

The Ming Dynasty encouraged women to go out to work. This trend has gradually spread with the expansion of the Ming army since Hailar. In Shangjing, Liaoyang and other places, it is already common for women to work like men.

There are many Han people here in Shandong Province and they are more cautious about men and women, so they are relatively conservative. However, during busy farming, they cannot worry about the rules that women cannot show up. Everything is mainly harvesting grain as quickly as possible.

There were more pedestrians on the official road. The caravans coming and going could hardly be seen after a long time. There were also some farmers who moved wheat to their homes with ox carts. Perhaps it was a good harvest, and everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile.
