Sent Jia Huan to Beizhuang and stayed in Zhuangzi for a few days. In addition to watching Jiao Da train Jia Huan's equestrian skills, Jia Lan also took the opportunity to take a look at his own Zhuangzi.
One year later, Zhuangzi was limited to the boundaries of the land and did not expand much, but the population became more abundant.
Looking at the renovated brick and stone houses in the village, looking at the smoke rising from the wooden chimneys, looking at the children running back and forth in the village, Jia Lan said to Jiao Da with satisfaction: "As expected of Uncle Jiao, Zhuangzi
The school will prosper under your care.
To tell you the truth, on this trip south, I saw natural disasters and refugees everywhere. In some places, the words "ten rooms and nine empty rooms" are not enough to describe it. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhuangzi in front of me is a paradise." p>
Although Jiao Da is over seventy years old, his body is still strong.
He was wearing a cotton jacket, cotton trousers, and a dark hood, and his wrinkled face remained determined.
Jia Lan's praise made him very happy, and he smiled modestly, but soon he calmed down and turned to Jia Lan, saying: "Brother Lan, Zhuangzi looks good at the moment, but still
I think it’s full of internal troubles.”
Jiao Da's words caught Jia Lan off guard and he quickly asked for advice.
"Lang Geer, you can trust me and entrust me with the foundation of Nuo Da. Naturally, I dare not slack off, but just because I think so does not mean that everyone in Zhuangzi thinks so..."
As he talked, Jiao Da hesitated a little.
Jia Lan hurriedly said: "Uncle Jiao, of course I can trust you. If you have anything to do, just say it. If I have done something wrong, please name it."
Jiao Da glanced at Jia Lan with his somewhat cloudy eyes. Seeing his sincerity, he sighed and said, "Just two months ago, there was an attack on a warehouse in Zhuangzi."
Jia Lan was very surprised. He had been in regular contact with Beizhuang, but he didn't know about such a big thing?
He subconsciously looked at Jiao Ting, who was accompanying him.
Meng Guo followed Jia Lan south, and the task of guarding Beizhuang fell on Jiao Ting.
Jiao Da noticed Jia Lan's gaze and waved his hand: "Brother Lang, don't misunderstand me. I asked him not to tell you first."
Then he personally informed Jialan of the cause and effect.
It turned out that Beizhuang had taken in many victims of the disaster years ago, and the food pressure suddenly increased greatly. Later, relying on Jia Lan's creativity, he successfully introduced rouge rice, and the situation improved greatly. He no longer had to rely on the income from wine making to subsidize it, and he added more rice every year.
A huge profit.
"Isn't this good?" Jia Lan asked.
The success of the introduction of rouge rice gave Beizhuang a huge amount of income from selling grain.
Jiao Da sighed: "The bad thing is here. If this person is blessed, how can he not be blessed? Some people are not blessed in life. If you give it to them, they can't bear it..."
As Jia Lan listened, his expression became more and more solemn.
It turns out that as life gets better in Zhuangzi, more and more people are eating and lazy.
Some people simply feel that they are in their comfort zone because they are lazy, lack motivation, have nothing to do, feel bored and frustrated, and thus choose to give up their efforts and become lazy.
Most of these people can change themselves under Jiao Da's training. Jia Lan has discussed and promulgated the reward and punishment regulations in Beizhuang a long time ago. However, after Beizhuang's tenant farmers became soldiers of the Rongguo, most of them were tough-tempered men. Jia Lan
If you treat them well, they will repay you with their heart, and the penalties are basically useless.
As a result, this reward and punishment order was used on these refugees.
Most people have become much more honest after being punished. The trouble is the remaining thorns.
These people don't care about anything, and they accept the punishment, but after the punishment, they still insist on going their own way.
What makes Jiao Da angry the most is that these people even have the idea of building a warehouse!
It has to be said that there are also smart people among those who like to eat and are lazy to cook. They discovered that the quality of the rice produced in Beizhuang was far better than the japonica rice they had grown before, so some people had crooked ideas and racked their brains to get information from the old people.
He was soon discovered and reported to Jiao Ting, and was severely punished.
After being punished, these people became so evil that they simply gathered together and planned to raid the warehouse at night, planning to make the next big order and then fly away.
As a result, they were discovered in advance by various open and covert sentries guarding the village.
Seeing the heavily armed soldiers of Beizhuang appearing in front of them, these people could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
Jia Lan was silent for a long time after listening to what Jiao Da said.
The problem of lazy people is an eternal problem, and even future generations will never be able to solve it. Even with the amplification effect of the Internet, there are more and more weird people.
Seeing Jia Lan's depressed mood, Jiao Ting seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Jiao Da waving his hand.
The latter turned to Jia Lan and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lang, I have told you before that a bushel of rice can raise a benefactor, and a stone of rice can raise an enemy. The old man has lived for such a long time.
I have seen this kind of thing a lot, and the old man just...”
Jiao Da showed a hint of shame, but did not stop talking: "I once had a similar feeling of resentment, thanks to you...
So the old man had a piece of advice: Don’t let this person eat too much. Once this person is full, he will easily get into trouble. Isn’t there a saying that goes like this—fullness warms the mind.”
Jia Lan did not nod when he heard this, nor did he object.
In the past, he only knew this sentence. It was not until he traveled through time and read "Zeng Guang Xian Wen" by Li Wan when he was enlightening himself that he realized that there was actually half of this sentence.
Hunger and cold arouse the desire to steal.
Fullness and hunger are a unified relationship between opposites.
Jiao Da's advice to him focused on the former, but when he looked at this matter in the past, he focused on the latter. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the two parties are right or wrong.
However, Jiao Da ignored one point, that is, the progress of productivity is a historical necessity, and progressive productivity will inevitably affect production relations.
This problem cannot be avoided and can only be faced seriously.
Jia Lan thought about this, looked at Jiao Da and nodded slightly. It was not the time at this time, so he changed the subject: "Uncle Jiao, how did you deal with these people? Did you escort them to the government?"
He responded with a sneer.
I saw Jiao Da's originally cloudy eyes flashing, and his entire aura changed, revealing a sharp edge.
"Send him to the official? How is that possible? Of course he will be killed!"
The tone seemed to be saying something ordinary.
"Kill them all?!"
Even though he knew that Jiao Da was decisive in killing him, Jia Lan was still shocked by this.
He looked at Jiao Ting next to him, and the other person nodded to him and said: "Twelve people, two of them are women, no one is left behind."
When Jia Lan heard this, he fell silent and lowered his eyes.
Jiao Da calmed down his breath, patted Jia Lan on the shoulder and comforted: "Lang Geer, they want to rob the warehouse, and even have the idea of stealing grain seeds. They have been fighting with us to death for a long time. Besides, these
They are all refugees we have taken in to escape famine. The power of life and death is in my hands. There is no harm in filing a lawsuit with the government."
