Yan Yingyuan looked solemn, took off the black hat on his head, gave it to Gu Zhenhua with both hands.

Wu Kaijie frowned and said hurriedly: "Governor Yan, the prince believes in you. If you use you, what is it difficult to discuss? Why threaten to resign? In this way, we are not good-looking, and it will be difficult for the prince to deal with it!"

Yan Yingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Staff General Wu, Yan, a minor official, has been promoted by the prince, and has today. Mu guarded the country and bound for the world. Yan's hatred was not to threaten the prince, but did not want the prince to declare his burden. Some things are willing to take on one shoulder. How many scoldings are coming to Yan Yingyuan!"

After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, he bowed and bowed, but after three or two minutes, Gu Zhenhua didn't say a word, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

Wu Kaijie couldn't wait any longer. He owed his body and said, "Prince, it's related to the security plan of the military farming, and also to the stability of the army. If you think it's better to suppress it, just wait and wait for everything to drive away the Tartars and then carry out a thorough rectification. What do you think?"

Gu Zhenhua suddenly laughed: "Mr. Yan, do you remember? When I transferred you to Henan, I told you to rectify the place and make up for loopholes. This is the mission given to you by the king, so I will not take my anger!"

"Your Majesty, you're not venting your anger, you're just worried about your humble position..."

"So what can I do if I worry? Who made Gu Zhenhua the initiator and your leader? Some of the burdens you can't take for me? Then again, it may not be as terrible as it is. Let's sit down first and have a good talk!"

What you are in charge is to have responsibility and courage. Gu Zhenhua said a few words. Yan Yingyuan was also much more relaxed. He took a stack of official documents, found a list from it, and handed it to Gu Zhenhua.

"Prince, there are 37 people here, 25 of which occurred in Guide, and 8 are in Wuchang. The other 4 are in Kaifeng! They are all exhausted to death, and the people in various places are infuriated. Some military farm offices and various workshops have been hit and complained."

Wu Kaijie frowned and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yan is different from being exhausted and being shot. It may not be easy to distinguish. Why do you dare to say that these people are exhausted? Isn't they adulterated?"

Yan Yingyuan shook his head: "Staff General Wu, if you say, the number of deaths will probably be more than ten times more. These are carefully confirmed by the official. On the 39th day, those workshops even worked day and night, and those with slightly worse health could not bear it. There are Liba in the quarry, female workers in the textile factory, and two half-year-old children in the thirteenth and fourteenth. Some of them are not only hungry and cold, but also beaten. They heard that they could not complete the task, so they would not be given food. In this winter, I don't know how the hearts of these merchants grew. Is it so much money heavier than human lives?"

Wu Kaijie was also very moved and sighed: "Mr. Yan, a tyrant businessman, has been a businessman since ancient times. I heard from the prince that even if you want to strangle them tomorrow, you can still buy ropes from the merchants today. These people are hard to change! But I didn't expect that such a serious problem would arise. I think it must be severely punished and killed a few dog-headed flags!"

Yan Yingyuan's face was gloomy, and he obviously disagreed with this idea.

"Staff General Wu, Yan thought, in the final analysis, it was still the prince's strategy. In order to form a farm as soon as possible, you used the power of merchants to allow them to serve the people during the slack farming period. This is why these people were exhausted. If you want to solve the problem, I dared to say, "I want to ask the prince to give orders to take back the farming farm, or simply change the farming strategy."

"This is not possible!"

Wu Kaijie directly opposed: "Mr. Yan, the foundation for An**'s army is the farmland. If the farmland is destroyed, how should these soldiers deal with themselves? The army is unstable and the world is uneasy. Now the Tartars have not yet been wiped out. It is really unwise for us to destroy the Great Wall ourselves!"

"Then, how should this matter be resolved? If you check it carefully, I dare say that the number of deaths will be even greater. Once the civil unrest is triggered, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!"

Wu Kaijie was speechless when asked, and his eyes could only fall on Gu Zhenhua, who had not spoken.

"Prince, you have to say something, how should you deal with it?"

There was not much change on Gu Zhenhua's face, and it was much easier than these two people.

"Mr. Yan, I want to ask you, in the past, did you freeze to death every winter?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

"Then let me ask you again, do the local gentry and tribes have the power to deal with problems within the tribe and village? Those who steal things, those who steal people invade pig cages, spank, and fingers. How many people will die every year?"

"this?"

Yan Yingyuan was suddenly asked. In China, all the years, the praise of Confucian governance of the country was emphasized, and the punishment was saved. The fewer people rebel, the fewer people killed, the more benevolent the government. With tens of millions of people, there were even twenty or thirty death row prisoners approved in a year. And even if the death row was approved, they might not die, because the emperor had a son, auspiciousness came from heaven and won a battle. In short, with the right excuse, he would have a general amnesty in the world and released all the criminals.

Especially when power is decentralized, all the local gentry are managed by local gentry. If there is any illegal matter, it will be handled by lynching, and the lives of confused people will be gone. However, the people will not raise officials and investigate them. Everyone will turn a blind eye and pretend that they have not seen it, which will save trouble!

In this way, on the surface, the punishments have decreased, as if the world is in harmony, but in fact, there is no problem to be solved. Because of the reduction in the cost of crime, more unjust, false and wrong cases have been caused.

Wu Kaijie was so keen. When he heard Gu Zhenhua's words, he thought about it carefully, and then smiled and said, "Prince, what you mean is that although many people are exhausted, the number of people who died of freezing to death and those who died of lynching in the past has been greatly reduced. In fact, we don't have to make a big deal, just let it go gently?"

"No!" Yan Yingyuan's eyes widened.

"Staff Officer Wu, the prince is right, but this cannot be an excuse for Wen Guowei. This is 37 lives, don't worry? Those businessmen can exhaust these people this year and 370,3700 to death next year. What should we do then?"

Gu Zhenhua said: "Mr. Yan is right. I am not careless. I just want to remind you not to think about going backwards, abolishing the farmland, and suppressing merchants. The clan power will regain its reunion, and the place will only become darker. Without workshops, there will be no place for work. I don't know how many people die of starvation every year! If we want to solve the problem in front of us, we should look forward, not backwards. Confucius did not have the ability to penetrate thousands of years of time and space, retro regression is not a solution to the problem!"

Yan Yingyuan and Wu Kaijie looked at each other, all stood up, bowed to Gu Zhenhua.

"Thank you for your teachings, you have benefited a lot from the humble position!"

Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "Western businessmen have come in recent years, and overseas trade profits are amazing. This indicates the arrival of a new era. We should also use a new method to manage the entire country and re-examine the problems of the government. Looking back at history, perhaps in the future, Qin Shihuang implemented the county system, which was a huge event compared to the present, and we had to work together."

"Dare not to serve you!"

From the feudal era, entering the capital era, from an agricultural society where men farm and women weave, to an industrial society. For any nation, it is a painful nirvana. If you don’t rush through it, you will only be trampled under your feet forever. No matter how glorious the past was, your capital will still have to fly the banner of eight countries!

It can be said that Gu Zhenhua was both happy and worried when he saw the beast capital that started to eat people. He was both happy and worried. It was because of the mixed feelings that he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

After receiving Yan Yingyuan's report, Gu Zhenhua took a huge team to Guide the next day. The first person to build a farm was here, and the one who killed the most was also here. Gu Zhenhua's first step to investigate was here.

On the third day after Gu Zhenhua left, from Taiyuan, Geng Zhongming sent a messenger to ask An ** to send troops to help. Gu Zhenhua had already left, and the messenger had just waited for Wu Kaijie's illusory guarantee. It would be better for them to continue playing with the Tartars in the battle!

...

"Old sir, it's been more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, why can't you see any lively weather?"

"What old man, it's Lao Liba, an old animal!" The old man sighed, grabbed the tea bowl, and drank the hot tea in one breath.

"At this time in the past year, New Year's goods were everywhere on the market. Everyone was rushing to buy something so that they could go home for the New Year. But this year it was not enough, and they had to work for the workshop. The old man knew some carpenter skills. After collecting the food, he kept working and had not had time to rest. This year, I have forgotten it!"

After the old man finished speaking, he carried the saw, turned around and left. There were also many laborers at the tea stall, and they all stood up, and in a blink of an eye, most of them were gone.

Wu Kaijie looked at their figures and sighed: "Boss, it seems that they are very resentful!"

Gu Zhenhua ignored him, and the guy next to him came over to resuspend the water with a smile.

"A few guests, please come from afar. Don't listen to these people being careless. They do a lot. But they earn a lot. I heard that their workshops are used to build homes overseas, and a chair can earn one or two taels of silver! In this winter, every craftsman can get almost ten taels of silver. In previous years, they don't have the money to come and have tea!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Is it still good to say that the workshop?"

The young man looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Mr., the young man is just a shady mouth and can't control himself. To tell you the truth, there are two types of workshops and workshops. They are blessed. Following the Wu family, there are also a group of unlucky ones. Following the Shen family, hey, in the first month alone, five people were exhausted from the Shen family's workshop, but Mr. Shen is very capable and is in the heavens. He is in the Supervisory Court and has suppressed everything, and he doesn't even have to compensate for the money!"

"Oh? Man, who are the Shen family and the Wu family referring to?"
