Wang Zheng and the others continued to move forward.
There were wheat fields on both sides of the road for about seven or eight miles. When he saw a village appearing in front of him, Wang Zheng immediately looked into the distance and saw two big trees at the head of the village. It was already March and the leaves were very lush and lush.
"This village looks familiar." Wang Zheng looked at it for a while, then looked around and asked, "Did we also come here when we went to the countryside last year?"
"My lord is right."
Guo Jia looked at it for a moment and nodded: "That time when Grand Administrator Lu accompanied him on the trip, he said that under the order of the general, a household registration census was made for each county. This village is called Panjia Village. It originally had more than thousands of households. Last year we
When we arrived, there were only over three hundred people left, and most of them were old, weak, women, and children."
Wang Zheng sighed: "The fighting continues, and the people are suffering. Speaking of the decline of people's livelihood in Jiangdong, it is all caused by the disputes between this general, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu."
"The decline of people's livelihood is certainly related to rebellious ministers and traitors such as Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, but it has nothing to do with the lord." Guo Jiadao: "The lord has raised a righteous army and attacked the unjust. Our army went south to kill the murderers and save the people. There were some things in the process.
Turbulence is inevitable."
"Xingyi division, attacking Wudao?"
Wang Zheng laughed dumbly and shook his head: "For the people of Jiangdong, it is not necessarily easy to say whether Yuan Shu is an unprincipled king or not. Even so, if the king is evil, what are the crimes of his people? That's an honest statement."
This sentence comes from Duke Mu of Qin, one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Although this was the first time they heard this poem, well-educated people like Guo Jia immediately understood its meaning: when a hero draws his sword, he either succeeds or fails, but regardless of success or failure, the ten years of catastrophe for the common people cannot be escaped.
Wang Zheng smiled slightly, looked far away, looked at the villages in the distance, looked at the mountains and rivers further away, and suddenly whispered: "Don't you see, the bones cover the fields like snow, and the tall trees are mournful and the wind rustles. Once a hero
If you draw your sword, it will be another ten years of calamity for the common people."
"Once a hero draws his sword, another ten years of calamity will befall the common people."
Wu Sheng laughed twice, dismounted hurriedly, picked up his robe, and ran quickly to catch up. He and Guo Jia followed Wang Zheng closely on the left and right, and walked into the village together. The pro-army captain commanded his men first.
They were divided into two groups, one group guarded the entrance of the village and took care of the war horses. The others also dismounted and either walked in front, or behind, or were divided on both sides to follow the guards.
In troubled times, vegetable seeds and cubs are the most precious materials like rice and grain. No one would have too much. Even though both states are under the rule of Wang Zheng, unless he has too much prestige, this would not be possible.
It's very easy, and it's more likely to cause public dissatisfaction.
After staring at the pancake for a while, the little girl nodded timidly and hummed slightly.
Since he is a hero, he naturally has the responsibility to reduce the suffering of the common people. Therefore, Wang Zheng's ambition is that if the one who draws the sword is a hero, then he will rule the world in at least ten years!
Guo Jia secretly thought to himself, Wang Zheng rose up in the fourth year of Chuping, and now it is the second year of Jian'an, five years have passed.
Looking further inside, the houses are neat. At a glance, the collapsed houses have either been cleaned up, or new mud houses have been built on the original foundations. What's more, when you see them from a distance, you can see them.
At the turning point of the dirt road, there were three or two chickens and ducks, who ran away from someone's house, and were waddling on the ground looking for food. The chicken crows I heard just now were probably caused by them.
"What do you think, my lord?"
After Duke Hui of Jin succeeded to the throne, he had no intention of fulfilling his original promise to cede territory. Together with his ministers, he repudiated the Qin envoys who came to ask for territory, saying: "I had not succeeded to the throne at that time, and the decision I made had no legal effect.
." The envoy had no choice but to curse and return to Qin.
Wang Zheng nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Although more than ten cows are not many, as long as they can be managed uniformly, even though Panjia Village has few young people, it is enough for use!"
You can tell autumn by looking at a leaf, and this is true for a village, not to mention other counties and cities. Wang Zheng turned to Guo Jia and said: "Da Shan, Zhang Zhao and Lu Ji have talents in internal affairs."
This is also a normal person's reaction, but I didn't expect Qin Mugong to say a very touching sentence at this time, which is: If the king is evil, what is the crime of his people?
Compared with last year when I came here, the village was deserted, the roads were overgrown with weeds, and many village houses had collapsed. This time, before I saw anyone, I heard a few chicken crows. Wang Zheng took a quick look and saw the village
The dirt road in the middle of the road is much smoother, with human footprints and ruts everywhere, and the weeds are gone.
The crowd walked along the dirt road for a while. Perhaps they were disturbed by the sound of people walking, and suddenly there was the sound of a door opening in a small courtyard on the side of the road.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State experienced the famous "Liji Rebellion". Prince Shen Sheng was killed, and Chong'er was forced to flee. In fact, not only Chong'er fled at that time, but also "Ji Yiwu", another son of Duke Xiang of Jin. Ji Yiwu
He fled to Liang and asked Qin Mugong to help him return to the country and succeed to the throne. He promised that if he could help him return home smoothly, he would give five cities in Hexi to Qin in return. Later, Qin Mugong actually helped Ji Yiwu return to the country and succeed to the throne.
, this is the "Jin Hui Gong" in history.
Within five years, he rose from being a minister to a prince, and even ruled nine counties. This achievement is naturally very remarkable. It is precisely because of this that even though he was born in a humble background and was once a yellow turban bandit, he was still regarded as
People all over the world regard him as one of the most powerful people competing in the Central Plains.
"Lord, when we came here last year, even the house collapsed."
Before Guo Jia could speak, Wu Sheng on the side said with a smile: "If you don't make the best use of everything and make the best use of people, people like Zhang Zhao and Lu Ji will be useless no matter how talented they are."
Wang Zheng was secretly happy, and activated his "Persuasion" talent while the iron was hot. When he came closer, he said softly with a smile: "Hello, little girl."
Not long after, a great famine broke out in the Jin State. There was no grain harvest, and countless people starved to death. Jin Hui Gong had to borrow grain from the Qin State. However, he was worried that he would not keep his promise about ceding the land, and Qin Mu Gong would not lend him grain.
He and a minister came up with an idea and said: "You can explain to Qin Mugong. It's not that we don't want to borrow it, but we are just suspending the delivery. If Qin Mugong doesn't borrow it, he is doing something wrong."
"right!"
Wang Zheng and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, gently put the pancake in her hand, and said with a smile: "Then give it to you, and there are many delicious things in this bag. As long as you answer my question, I will give it to you, okay?"
?”
Wang Zheng's eyesight was so sharp that he could see clearly at this moment that she was a little girl about four or five years old, so he said to everyone: "It's been so long since I've been in the village that I've seen such a person. Let's go and have a look."
Wang Zhengxun looked out and saw a little head with braids sticking out of the door. He just glanced at them and then immediately shrank away. Then there was another rush of footsteps. He thought he saw them.
A group of unfamiliar faces ran home in fright.
March is the busy time for farming, even though it is almost sunset, so there are not many people in the village. Wang Zheng looked around and saw that the courtyards on both sides of the dirt road were empty, but through the fence surrounding the courtyard, he could see that many families were
Some vegetable patches were cultivated in the yard, and two or three households even raised livestock such as pigs and sheep, which made them even more happy.
"promise!"
Duke Hui of Jin agreed and wrote to Duke Mu of Qin to ask for a loan of grain.
The time it took Liu Xiu to unify the world was exactly fifteen years. This achievement was considered average in the thousand-year history of the Celestial Dynasty. However, Wang Zheng still shook his head: "Fifteen years? It's too long!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers were impressed and no longer objected, so countless carts and boats filled with food crossed thousands of miles of water and land routes, heading towards the capital of Jin in an endless stream. Every cart, every bag,
Full of the deep friendship of the people of Qin, as well as the style and courage of Qin Mugong, this is a famous boating battle in the history of the Celestial Dynasty.
Really unsure of what to do, Wang Zheng glanced at him lightly and snorted: "I'm afraid you guys might scare that kid."
Not bad.
Wang Zheng's eyes lit up and he understood immediately. He immediately waved his hand in the distance and issued an order through the system. Soon after, a soldier trotted over and handed him a cloth bag.
"Although they have meritorious service, the first merit is still in Azheng."
Because along the way, he saw that everyone on the way was recovering well, Wang Zheng was in a good mood at the moment, he picked up his finger and tapped Wu Sheng twice, and said jokingly: "Your flattery skills are also impressive after three days apart."
Wait, if I ask you to learn a few more new words, I’m afraid it will be too much for me.” He laughed loudly and got off his horse.
Wang Zheng didn't rush into the village, so he stopped under the two big trees, reined in his horse and walked into the village to take a closer look at the changes.
Although he was forced to accept Wang Zheng as the leader at the beginning, Guo Jia is now deeply grateful for his original choice, because in his opinion, that "one" can now be removed.
Dozens of riders arrived at the entrance of the village in a blink of an eye.
Guo Jia was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I admire my lord for having such a heart. He will replace Yuan Shu as the lord of Jiangdong. In the long run, it will be a blessing to the people and a blessing to the people. In my opinion, my lord is wise and powerful."
His appearance is not inferior to his brilliance and military prowess. Within fifteen years at most, he will surely make all heroes bow their heads and the world will return to peace."
"Oh, it's a little girl."
Wang Zheng was quite satisfied and nodded secretly. Although the scene in front of him was still a bit deserted and far less prosperous than the villages and counties in Xiapi, Xuzhou, it was much better than when he first came here. At least it was no longer desolate. This was already
This shows that the village is gradually beginning to recover its vitality.
Wang Zheng laughed it off and had no answer. Instead, he followed Guo Jia's words and said, "Rape seeds, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, etc. have all been distributed. I wonder how the farmers are distributed?"
"The more than a thousand farm cattle in Jiujiang will be divided according to the amount of land and cattle in each county and village and the fertility of the land in each county and village. Those with more land will be allocated more, those with fewer people will be allocated more, and those with fertile land will be allocated more.
"Panjia Village doesn't have many young people, but it is a village near Shouchun after all. The land is fertile, so it stands to reason that there will be more than ten people."
Now Wang Zheng was embarrassed. Just when he didn't know how to deal with it, Guo Jia saw this and smiled slightly and said, "My lord, you should have brought dry food with you for this trip, right?"
Everyone nodded and hurriedly followed, but they saw Wang Zheng suddenly stopped, looked back, then pointed at Wu Sheng and several other guards and said: "A Sheng, don't go as long as you guys are there, just me and
Go as a filial piety."
"I am also involved in this matter and know a little bit about it."
After receiving the letter, Duke Mu of Qin discussed with his ministers whether to lend grain to Jin. Most of the ministers opposed it, and some even suggested: "The famine in Jin is God's punishment for Duke Hui of Jin's dishonesty.
Not only should we not borrow food, but we should also take advantage of the opportunity to attack Jin, so that we will definitely succeed in the battle."
Guo Jiadao: "After Zhang Gong took office, he ordered Xuzhou to transport farm cattle to Shouchun, with a total of more than 8,000 cattle, which will be divided into three batches. The first batch will be about 2,000, and half will be distributed to Jiujiang according to different regions.
Three percent will be given to Lujiang, and the other 20 percent will be transferred to Wuxian, Danyang and other places."
Unexpectedly, the charm failed this time, and the little girl just looked at him with her eyes rolling, until the smile on Wang Zheng's face became stiff, and she remained silent.
Duke Hui of Jin was indeed at fault for breaking his trust, and I feel sorry for him, but what are the people of Jin guilty of? Why should I punish the innocent people for Duke Hui of Jin's fault? So I decided to lend grain to Jin.
.
"Forehead"
Wang Zheng took the bag, took out a piece of cake, and waved it towards the little girl, "Want to eat it?"
Guo Jia on the side was also amazed: "Now, just a few months later, not only are the houses neat, but every family has cultivated vegetable beds. Not only that, but there are also chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. Food is the most important thing for the people. I
The common people of the Han Dynasty are simple and honest, and have always been hard-working. It is a custom to cultivate vegetable patches in the courtyard and raise some livestock. However, the seeds of these vegetables and the pig-like cubs must have been transferred from Xuzhou. This shows that the Lord's merits
Mo Dayan."
Being more attractive is different!
Ignoring Wu Sheng, who looked resentful, the two of them walked forward. After walking a few steps, they saw the little girl quietly sticking her head out of the courtyard. She first looked at Guo Jia, and then moved her eyes to Guo Jia.
On Wang Zheng's body, there was a pair of big black and bright eyes that couldn't be moved away.
But no matter what the original intention of the poem is, it still depends on who is reciting it and when it is recited. If the poem is meant to express one's ambition, then it will have a different meaning at this time.
The difficulty is still second, the biggest fear is that if you act too hastily, you will spoil the good situation!
Take Yuan Shao in the north as an example. Now he also has Youzhou and Jizhou, but if he wants to order the people of Youzhou to give salt to Jizhou for free, it may not necessarily go smoothly.
Who is Yuan Shao? How can he be compared with my lord?
But faith is faith. If he wants to dominate the world in ten years, it means that the king will have to wipe out all other princes within five years. This is a bit difficult.
"Ah?" Wu Sheng was startled: "Why?"
Guo Jiagang was about to speak, but he saw Wang Zheng whipping his horse, urging the horse to ride quickly, and said with a smile: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If we can't manage Jiangdong well, it will be useless to conquer the world. Let's go."
Take a look at Panjia Village."
Still asking why?
Finally he spoke.
The little girl nodded again while eating the pancake. Wang Zheng asked: "Okay, what is your name?"
"Pan Shu."
PS: Don’t you see the bones covering the fields like snow, the tall trees mournful and the rustling of the wind. Once the hero draws his sword, another ten years of calamity will befall the common people.
