Chapter 350 Dont be afraid of taking things seriously
Yun Chu was probably the biggest official that the common people living outside Chang'an had ever seen.
Although I often saw some expensive carriages and grand pomps in Nanshan or Longshouyuan when I was out working, the officials in those carriages and surrounded by pomp and pomp must have higher official positions than Yunchu.
However, Yunchu was definitely the biggest official who stood under the eaves of his house and chatted with him, went into his house to check his rice vats, and cared about how many meals he had eaten a day.
The village was flooded, so Yunchu suggested digging drainage channels.
When the house collapsed, Yun Chu promised that the county government could organize a fund specifically to build unified houses. However, the place where the houses were built must not occupy any farmland. In this way, more farmland would be available to offset the county government's expenses.
Partial investment.
When someone blocked Yun Chu's path and complained about injustice, Yun Chu immediately started to interrogate the case on the grain field and settled the case clearly on the spot. Sui others were sometimes a little rough, but the people still recognized it. After all,
, this is the best place for justice they can ask for.
If a villager complains about a bully... This Yunchu prefers to pull the bully out on the spot. No matter whether it is right or wrong, he will first use a thirty-meter killing stick.
Amidst their angry shouts, the anger accumulated in the hearts of the people dissipated in an instant.
It was getting late, so Yunchu ate at the Chang's house. He ate regardless of whether the food was good or bad, and paid according to the meal standard after finishing the meal.
If a villager who was being taken care of brought him a bowl of rice, a dish, or a pot of wine, he would not refuse anyone who came. In short, he would just give him money after eating.
The only thing that Yun Chu couldn't stand was that the people of the Tang Dynasty had the habit of kneeling to offer meals to him.
He can't refuse yet, and he doesn't dare to refuse, because he is an official and represents the emperor at this time!
As a herdsman official in Yunchu, it was okay for him to do this. If another person, such as King Ji Li Shen, did such a thing on the first day, his head would be hung on the top of Chang'an City the next day as a warning to others.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty must be romantic. When they solved the difficulties of the people, they must write poems to commemorate them.
Especially with Wen Wen and a group of censors and officials around, writing poetry has become a necessary step.
"Don't laugh at the farmers' wine, which is full of wax and wine. In good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins to visit. There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers."
In desperation, Yunchu had to compose a poem "Visiting the South Village". The poem was simple and natural, and full of joy. It fully conveyed the poet's emotions about the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty through the first two simple lines.
It showed.
The last two lines of poems are very particular about the poet's literary talent. The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright in another village. They suddenly elevate the poet's thoughts from the cold winter to the hot summer, expressing the poet's yearning for a better life in the future... Just
When everyone thinks that the current grand scene has come to an end, they don't know that there is infinite beauty behind this grand scene.
It's absolutely wonderful!
The above poem appreciation was not done by Yun Chu, but by Wen Wen and a group of young censors and officials who were knowledgeable and talented.
Therefore, Yunchu's reputation as the most talented young man in the Tang Dynasty once again became famous in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty.
Wannian County is outside Chang'an City and has a total of 18 li, which means there are 18 natural villages.
It took Yunchu and his party six full days to complete their wandering. During these six days, Yunchu not only found the development direction of each village, but also conducted discussions with the local chiefs and the officials who managed these village chiefs.
After in-depth exchanges, we decided to plant cotton to improve the economic strength and living standards of the eighteen counties in Wannian County.
After primitive accumulation, we began to focus on the development of folk cotton textile industry, completely liberating the power of women in the eighteen counties of Wannian County, and working from agriculture!
Therefore, this is a very meaningful work of visiting the poor. It not only expresses the emperor's importance to the villagers, but also fundamentally lays the foundation for Chang'an farmers to work hard to develop breeding and planting around Chang'an City.
Industry, industry, completely changed his poor life.
With so many achievements in their work, the censors immediately abandoned their previously ridiculous ideas and began to write memorials one after another, reporting back to the court the significance of Yun Chu's down-to-earth work of visiting the poor and asking about their sufferings.
Among them, Wen Wenwen asked the Tang court for the first time whether it was an unchangeable habit that the state capital did not go to the countryside.
He also believed that it was unrealistic for state-level officials to go to the countryside, but what about county magistrates? Why did the court hand over the people to the squires and clan governance? Among them, how many squires and clans would take the people's guidance from the people when they governed the people?
Will we start from the interests of Datang?
The young censors wrote memorials behind closed doors, and through their own perspectives, they affirmed Yunchu's behavior of taking officials to the countryside to visit the poor and ask questions about their suffering, and to solve problems on the spot.
A parade-style visit to visit the poor and ask questions about their sufferings, from which those who followed gained a lot of gains and inspiration.
What’s more, the officials of Wannian County understand one thing – Wannian County is not rich enough, and there are still many people who are poorly clothed and hungry. They cannot ignore the current achievements.
to those difficulties.
Of course, the poor people in Wannian County are not the same as the poor people in other parts of the Tang Dynasty.
This place has been a wealthy place since ancient times. In addition, Yunchu's governance has been reasonable in recent years, and most of the people have solved their food problem. However, the existence of poor people is still inevitable.
It was too easy for Yunchu to get promoted and make a fortune. What he cared about most was his Chang'an city.
It's impossible to have fun with a group of people who don't even have enough to eat. Only when everyone is well fed and warmly dressed will they have the energy to have fun with him, the county magistrate, and transform this city together.
Be what he expected.
Pei Xingjian wanted to take away Yunchu's plan for going to the countryside, and he planned to go out in three days.
Nowadays, Pei Xingjian no longer has any sense of shame about copying Yunchu's way of governing the place.
Especially after knowing that Yun Chu's dream was to become a third-grade Yongzhou pastoralist, when he took something from Yun Chu, he seemed confident and confident, saying - I am helping you manage.
The Tang Dynasty currently does not have the name of the official position Jing Zhaoyin, and the official position of Yongzhou Mu will not be filled by non-royal people. Therefore, Yun Chu told the emperor over and over again that Jing Zhaoyin, the third official of the Han Dynasty,
Qianshi's official position is to hope that the emperor can re-appoint this official position.
Beijing means infinity, sign, and hugeness. Together they show off the renewed grandeur of everything in the capital.
The Yongzhou shepherds held by the royal family did not have any power. For example, the current Yongzhou shepherd, Li Shen, does not even leave his house. He spends his time studying how to carry forward the jade carving art of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi was well aware of Yunchu's every move in Wannian County. Therefore, when the memorials from the censors of those years were brought to his desk, Li Zhi even had a feeling of excitement as he looked at them.
Feelings of jealousy.
Seeing a place change from poverty to wealth, seeing how many people's lives have changed dramatically because of Yunchu's efforts, this kind of achievement has been the goal that scholars have striven to pursue since ancient times.
Nowadays, Yunchu's goal has some germination. Judging from the current progress, given time, Yunchu's goal of covering Chang'an with gold foil may be achieved.
"Don't laugh at the farmers' wine, which is full of wax and wine. In good years, there are enough chickens and dolphins to visit. There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers."
Wu Mei came over and took a look at the memorial, then read out the poem written by Yun Chu in the memorial.
"The poem is indeed a good poem, especially the last two sentences, which are superb. Your Majesty, what do you think Yunchu's head looks like?
It is commendable to be able to manage Wannian County into its current state, and he also happens to be a good poet. But every poem written by him is not a shocking work.
As time goes by, it will be natural to be the leader and assistant."
Li Zhi looked up at Wu Mei and said: "You think that the position of non-prime minister cannot accommodate Yun Chu, but Yun Chu's ambition is to be the three-thousand-dan Jing Zhaoyin.
Moreover, I also found that this was indeed what he said from the bottom of his heart. He would rather be the biggest local official in Jing Zhaoyin than get involved in the court. It seems that this two-hundred-and-fifty man still knows his own strengths and weaknesses.
Since ancient times, the official position of Jing Zhaoyin has been a slippery one, and no one can hold it for a long time.
Since Yunchu believes that his greatest ability is the ability to govern the local area, I will not force such a person to be placed in the position of prime minister. This is not good for him, nor is it good for me or the Tang Dynasty."
Wu Mei curled her lips and said: "No one can resist the glory of Kaifu Yi and the Third Division."
Li Zhidao: "You would think so, but Yun Chu would not. He just wants a splendid Chang'an City, and its name will go down in history and shine forever!"
Wu Mei smiled and said: "How about a bet!"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Why not!"
Wu Mei raised her white palm and patted Li Zhi's hand before saying, "Where's the bet?"
Li Zhi said: "I can grant your request."
Wu Mei said: "I can agree to your majesty's rude request."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Then it's a deal."
Wu Mei added: "Your Majesty, the human heart is like an abyss, yet it looks up to high places. When it reaches a high place, it looks up to the blue sky. After stepping on white clouds, it wants to pick off the stars again. Therefore, Your Majesty is destined to lose."
Li Zhi said: "I think the human heart is like a ravine. Once the ravine is filled up, there will be a smooth road under your feet. You can travel freely in the southeast, northwest, and why bother looking up at the sky."
Wu Mei looked at the giant bear lying at Li Zhi's feet and said, "Is this what your Majesty has learned from the giant bear?"
Li Zhi stroked the giant bear's huge round head and said, "What it asks for is just food, and I can afford it."
The light in Wu Mei's eyes seemed to have dimmed a bit. She stepped on the fat belly of the giant bear with her foot and said, "After all, he is just a foodie and a hard worker."
