From Wei Zheng's perspective, this large village transformed from a manor was in good order and the people lived in peace, creating a peaceful and reassuring scene.
He was very curious and didn't know how the warriors stationed here could do it.
He made a tentative inquiry, but the result was an eye-opener for him.
The accompanying warrior stationed in the village had no intention of hiding anything, and casually recounted the process.
Such as complaining, handing over names and allocating land, these three methods are enough to win over the hearts of most tenants and hermits.
Seeing that Wei Zheng was very curious, the warrior stationed in the village said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, it's better not to ask in detail, I'm afraid it will scare him!"
Wei Zheng was from a good family at first glance. He was either from a wealthy family or a powerful local man. He definitely couldn't stand the tricks they used in the countryside.
Especially the two items of complaint and surrender, although the warriors stationed in the village have seen them many times, they can't help but feel frightened every time.
Always remind yourself not to forget your roots, otherwise you and your family may one day become the unlucky targets of complaints and complaints.
Wei Zheng followed the good example and did not continue to ask further questions. Since the other party did not want to say anything and acted for his own good, he would naturally not offend others.
At this time, it was almost the early spring of the twelfth year of Daye, and the weather was still cold and cool.
But the people in the village were all in high spirits, wearing thin clothes and high spirits, carrying farm tools and working in the fields despite the cold.
Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly and chuckled: "It seems that the people in the village are very motivated to cultivate the fields!"
"They are cultivating their own land, so they are naturally motivated!"
Seeing Wei Zheng's interest, the warrior stationed in the village explained the rules for allocating fields, and finally sighed: "Actually, the people in the countryside don't ask for much, but the requirements are so low that some people are not willing to give away a little!"
"In a good year, you can still go hungry and even sell your children and daughters. Without the slightest provocation, it will erupt like a volcano!"
Wei Zheng sighed lightly and said nothing more.
Some of these things he knew or had heard about, and some he had never heard of.
I really didn't expect that the living conditions of the villagers were so bad, and their life and death were completely in the hands of the manor manager.
Speaking of which, the owner of the manor sometimes took the blame for his stewards.
"There is only the right to cultivate the land, but no actual control, so the people have no dissatisfaction?"
Wei Zheng saw the problems in the manor's land policy at a glance and pointed them out bluntly.
“This is also to prevent land annexation!”
The warrior stationed in the village said calmly: "It is safer to have the land ownership in our hands than to hand it over directly to the people!"
What a ‘safety’!
Wei Zheng nodded silently. The family he came from was not a top one, but he did know some dirty things about land annexation.
The ordinary people really have no power to resist in front of the wealthy and powerful families.
"With the size of this village, how much food and supplies can be provided every year?"
After understanding the situation, Wei Zheng got down to business. He did not forget the true purpose of his visit.
"Two thousand dan of food!"
The warrior stationed in the village replied without hesitation: "This is still a village that has just taken over. After running it for a period of time, whether it is food supplies or other edible things, the total amount will not be less than three thousand dan a year!"
"
"so much?"
Wei Zheng was taken aback and said in a deep voice: "You couldn't have snatched it from the hands of the villagers, right?"
"How can it be?"
The warrior stationed in the village said with a smile: "After several years of exploration, we have mastered the farming technology of intensive farming, as well as some methods of fertilizing to increase production!"
“The effects are quite obvious!”
Seeing that Wei Zheng was a little unconvinced, he took Wei Zheng to the village without saying a word. The basic school had just been built and put into use.
Bypassing the main courtyard of the school, we entered the adjacent library from the side.
From a more conspicuous bookcase in the library, I took out a volume of "Farming Affairs" and gave it to Wei Zheng for him to read.
He actually quite understood Wei Zheng's doubts.
In this era, knowledge is power, knowledge is higher food production, and knowledge is also the ability to survive better.
The aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge not only monopolizes the promotion channels in the officialdom, but also has the latest farmland farming technology in their hands.
It can be said that the harvest of manor fields controlled by aristocratic families is higher than that of ordinary people or even official fields controlled by the court. This is a fact.
The reason why the power of aristocratic families is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is not only their role in public opinion propaganda, but also their real performance before their eyes, which makes ordinary people have no choice but to believe it.
Wei Zheng ignored the surprise in his heart and carefully flipped through the brand new book in his hand, which still smelled of ink. The content inside made him extremely moved.
In the book, simple and straightforward words are used to describe farmland farming and how to increase production in detail.
Not to mention a high-level intellectual like him, even an old rural farmer who is illiterate will have a general impression after listening to it once or twice.
The warrior stationed in the village laughed and said: "Every farming season, the school will organize students to publicize the contents of "Farming" in the village!"
"The book "Farming" is based on the requirements of leader Wu Dong. It should be written as simple and straightforward as possible, and the content must be detailed. It is not allowed to use refined words like orthodox books, otherwise it will be difficult to promote!"
Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly: "The second master has considered it!"
As for the basic school, he didn't ask any more questions, and the warriors stationed in the village didn't mean to say more.
Unlike Li Mi, Wei Zheng was not from a top class background, so naturally he did not have such a deep-rooted determination to safeguard class interests.
While walking around the school, he just glanced at the teachers who were teaching the students in the school, as well as the basic situation of the students.
My husband is not very old, he looks to be in his twenties, and his level is average. He basically follows what is taught and has very little of his own understanding and ideas.
As for the students, just by looking at their patchy clothes and malnourished faces, you can tell where they came from.
Wei Zheng was quite amazed by this approach to popularizing education.
Seeing that the warriors stationed in the village seemed accustomed to it and didn't look strange at all, they knew that the rest of the areas under the rule of the second master were probably in the same situation.
It's really awesome...
Regarding the matter of the basic school, Wei Zheng did not say anything at all. On the contrary, the accompanying warriors stationed in the village were a little surprised, but they did not ask too much about it.
Not far from the school, there is a medical center with a pungent smell of medicinal materials.
Wei Zheng walked around the medical center with great interest, and was also quite surprised.
Like the basic school, this medical center was also newly built, with only one young doctor and two younger apprentices inside.
Seeing Wei Zheng's interest, the accompanying warrior in the village introduced: "The young doctors in the medical clinic were trained by us ourselves!"
"Because I am successful in martial arts, I am a martial artist equivalent to the elite level, and I also have some knowledge of medical treatment. It will not be a problem to become a doctor in the village!"
"If you are motivated, you can help the villagers treat patients while seizing all your time to learn and improve!"
"If your medical skills meet the standards, you can work in a higher-level medical center!"
"Why, the medical clinic under the second master's control also has levels?"
"nature!"
The village warrior explained: "In fact, it is similar to the administrative division of the government. There is a village medical center, and naturally there is a town-level medical center, and then there is a county-level medical center, and above it is a unified county-level medical center!"
“Why is there no state hospital?”
As soon as Wei Zheng said this, he immediately realized that he might have said the wrong thing.
Sure enough, the accompanying warrior in the village said with a smile: "Doctors in state-level medical clinics must be at least first-level doctors!"
"Although we are trying to find ways to contact and recruit, the effect is not obvious!"
"Of course, this distinction is enough for now, there is no need to be too demanding!"
"really!"
Wei Zheng nodded in approval. It was just a village that had just been conquered, but it gave him a very good feeling.
Given time, maybe there will be some great heroes in this village.
Regardless of whether he is a scholar who has become a talented scholar, a hero who has achieved success in martial arts, or a doctor who has learned medicine, they are all respected beings.
In the past, this was an absolutely impossible situation.
Unless you are a child of destiny, it is difficult to escape from the small circle of the manor.
But now, with a basic school and basic medical center in the village, plus the right to farm the fields, everything is on track.
With hope, the whole village seemed vibrant and prosperous.
To be honest, Wei Zheng was a little shocked at this time.
"Isn't the second master here?"
After understanding the details of the village, Wei Zheng basically let go of his worries about the transportation of logistical supplies. He felt relaxed and couldn't help but ask curious questions.
"The leader took him to the territory in Huaibei and took charge!"
The warrior stationed in the village did not hide it, and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Wei should have heard about Zhu Jie's incident that caused a lot of commotion in the world!"
"Of course Wei has heard of such a big thing!"
Wei Zheng asked curiously: "Is it possible that there will be a follow-up to this matter?"
"Haha, that's natural!"
The warrior stationed in the village smiled and said: "The death of Zhu Jie and his man-eating maniac is nothing at all. The key is that he has a grandmaster-level inheritance in his hands!"
"Is it really a grand master level inheritance?"
Wei Zheng was shocked and said in surprise: "There were many rumors in the world before, but Wei thought they were just rumors!"
"That's natural. I just returned from Huaibei not long ago!"
The eyes of the warrior stationed in the village shone brightly and he said excitedly: "That is the "Ten Pillar Mahayana Kung Fu" passed down by the top master who is said to be as good as the "Huang Tianda Dharma" during the border period!"
"A group of top experts in the world, most of them who can be named, have all joined in..."
