As long as the heavy rain in Kaifeng City starts, it will never stop. The lead-gray sky seems to be replenishing the lack of rain in the first half of the year. The heavy rain has been falling for three days. Today it finally stopped a little, and there are still floating clouds in the sky.
Raindrops.
The whole room was filled with moisture and moisture. A toad weighing one kilogram jumped over the threshold and almost frightened Lu Qingqing to death. Fortunately, Ge Qiuyan was not afraid of this thing. He just raised his leg and kicked it, and the toad crossed in a parabola.
The flowers at the door flew to the moon door. In order to vent his anger on the mistress, the furious Yun San took a big bite on the toad. The consequences were very serious. He was poisoned by the toad. His four legs trembled and he kicked up to the sky.
His mouth was swollen to the size of two inches. If Yun Da hadn't used soapy water to wash Yun San's mouth, he would have died a long time ago.
"Husband, Yun San's mouth is still very swollen. I couldn't even eat the meat and bones I gave him just now. It's so pitiful."
"Its mouth is numb. Even if you feed it stones, it won't feel it. Its tongue is swollen, and its eyes are so swollen that it can't see the road clearly. I want to scream but I can't even scream. I have to cook for it these days.
Order the minced meat and let the monkey pour it down slowly."
Yun Zheng looked at Yun San who was lying obediently at his feet with his head on his instep and sighed.
"Our livestock are all good. After the housekeeper snake was sent to my hometown in Doushaguan, I heard that it had grown to be as thick as the rafters. It crawled on our main house all day long and could not get off. The old patriarch said that it had been in the house for three days.
Feed a chicken...
Husband, why doesn’t Princess Kai Ming get married? She built a courtyard like a watchtower and recruited countless women in it. I really don’t know what she wants to do?”
Yun Zheng closed the book and said with a frown: "Everyone has his own way of living. She doesn't want to get married because she has seen too many men's unkindness. She was born in Xixia, a country that treats women as human beings. How can she be so happy now?
Of course she doesn’t want to get married anymore, so there’s nothing wrong with just closing the door and continuing to be her own princess.”
"It is said that a lonely yin cannot give birth, a lonely yang cannot grow, and the harmony of yin and yang is the way of human relations. It is wrong for her to do this. If a woman in the Song Dynasty does not get married when she reaches the age, there will be officials to arrange marriage."
"Stop talking nonsense, who dares to force her in Dousha County? Besides, the women she took in were either poor women bought from brothels, or women who were sold by their families. Do you think those women will have a good impression of men?
Let me tell you, as long as women can stand on their own feet, they are no worse than men. If you look at the silk that Wei Ming has sold to the Yun family and the Liang family over the years, you will know what they have done. You must know that just the silk they provide accounts for the Yun family’s
Forty percent of the purchase amount, this is what Bacon told me when he took stock of the accounts of the Sichuan Silk Reeling Workshop. Without relying on self-reliance, this alone is admirable. It is a thousand times better than those guys who like to eat and work hard.
, If only those military households could be more diligent, your husband would not be so troubled."
Thinking of Wei Ming leading a group of women and living happily, Yun Zheng looked at the documents in front of him and looked up to the sky and sighed! He thought wishfully that those Xiang soldiers would be happy when they heard that he could restore his citizenship. Unexpectedly,
The Song Dynasty's military policy for many years actually produced a group of extremely lazy people.
In order for them to live a good life, Yun Zheng worked hard with Pang Ji, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Wang Anshi to get cattle, seeds, and farm tools. These people only needed to build some houses on the Yellow River beach and endure hardships.
In two years, they will have a very good family business. The preferential conditions of not having to pay taxes for three years are simply a great favor from the emperor. However, they would rather be half-starved and half-fed, catching lice in the sun in the barracks than farming.
rich soil.
Yun Zheng inserted his fingers into his hair and felt extremely frustrated. Now he completely understood why Pang Ji and the others agreed to his conditions easily. Especially the teasing smile at the corner of Wang Anshi's mouth made Yun Zheng deeply aware of it.
own shortcomings.
Fortunately, the theory I pursue is that true knowledge comes from practice. Before this policy was implemented on a large scale, I conducted a survey among the Xiang Army near Tokyo. The results were discouraging. Less than 20% of the people agreed to leave.
The Xiang army went to cultivate their own fields...
Not everyone in this world is hard-working, and not everyone has the dream of pursuing a better life. Those extremely poor soldiers would rather open their mouths and show their yellowed teeth and discuss their generals in the sun.
Whether the horse he is riding is covered with dark clouds or snow, or a black horse, he does not want to spend a little time thinking about what his naked baby should do in the future.
After returning from the investigation report, Yun Zheng knew that he had been fooled. Pang Ji, Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Wang Anshi relied on their rich experience in local management to dig a big trap for Di Qing and himself that could bury people.
pit.
Yun Zheng knew one thing clearly. He was not afraid of poverty, but of laziness. If people were poor, there would always be some changes as long as they worked hard. But as long as people were lazy, they would be helpless. No matter what they got for them, no matter what
No matter how perfect your plan to get rich is, it is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
Not everyone is like Wu Shengjun. Compared with Wu Shengjun, the Xiang Army in Hebei took longer to form an army, so the problem of laziness is more deeply rooted. Yun Zheng discovered a strange phenomenon. The later the Xiang Army became an army, the more
The better the help, as long as they are provided with the necessary survival materials, they can live a good life on their own. The earlier the Xiang army formed an army, the more lazy and slick they will be. Years of military life have turned them into
A new species was born, called - Bing Pi!
They like to steal, like to rob, and also like to scheming. They will fight to death for a black steamed bun. The only activity they hate is labor...
Labor is naturally not a pleasant activity for the body and mind. Yun Zheng has tried it himself. When the hot sun in Sichuan is still overhead, he is hoeing in the fields. There is no wind at all, and sweat flows from the top of his head.
My spine flowed to the waist of my trousers, and my overly mobile waist was stung by sweat. When I was harvesting rice, I was bent over and busy in the rice fields all day. When I stood up, my waist seemed to have been broken. After I stood up reluctantly, I still felt like it was broken.
You have to carry big bundles of rice down the mountain to thresh the rice in the threshing field...
"Husband, lazy people are actually hard-working people who cannot see hope. How could you be deceived by appearances? The bankers in our family are all under the jurisdiction of me. I have seen your plan, and the plan itself has its own meaning.
question.
It's not that they dislike you for giving too little, but because you gave too much, they don't believe that this person has no hardships that he can't bear, but he has blessings that he can't enjoy. According to what you said, Xiangjun is all
Poor people with no clothes and no clothes have never been treated as human beings. They think that they are born to be poor, so they don't treat themselves as human beings. You give cows, seeds, saplings, etc.
You spared them money and food for three years. Oh my god, you gave them so much at one time. To these poor people who have been deceived countless times by their masters, tell me, you are not a liar. Who is? Let’s talk about Doumien, Sheng
Mi Qiu, even if you want to do something, this is not the way to do it.
You, you shouldn't care about these things. You are the one who handles big things. You should sit with Mr. Dee in the wooden house to discuss national affairs. As long as you leave such small things to the officials, they can be completed very well. Mr. Di
We have plenty of means to make these people obedient, provided that those officials do not benefit from it like our stewards.
Of course, another question arises, what do you use to reward these officials? Only by giving them benefits that far exceed the cattle and seeds can they spontaneously stop making such painful ideas."
It was the first time Lu Qingqing saw her omnipotent husband so frustrated, and he immediately revealed the shortcomings in his eyes.
After hearing these words, Yun Zheng felt as if he had been hit by an ax on the forehead. He suddenly raised his head and looked at his pretty wife. He hugged her into his arms and covered her small cherry mouth with her big mouth.
A kiss of death.
There was a loud "boo" sound. Yun Zheng carefully placed his limp wife on the soft couch and strode out. He heard Lu Qingqing, who was ashamed and angry, shouting from behind: "Outside."
It’s raining, remember to hold an umbrella!”
Whoever had time to hold an umbrella, Yun Zheng shouted, "Ready the horse!" The big green horse ran out of the stable on its own, followed by the groom holding the saddle and chasing after him...
Astride the big green horse, the big green horse seemed to sense the owner's thoughts, and jumped out of the house with a cry, and ran wildly along the alley towards the Imperial College. Yun Zheng on the horse was extremely happy. The Imperial College created a lot of trouble for the Song Dynasty every year.
Officials are the same as Xiangjun. The longer they have been officials, the more unreliable they are. The more recently graduated Imperial College scholars, the more ambitious they are.
These people already know how to be officials, but what they lack is an opportunity for them to display their talents and realize their ambitions. In the Song Dynasty, there were countless officials waiting to be assigned. By the time it was their turn, their ambitions would have already
How can you expect such a person to manage the place well even if every bit of it is wasted away by human sophistication?
The situation was different for those students who had just left the Imperial Academy. It was when the scholars were angry that they were criticizing Fang Qiu. Yun Zheng would rather use these talented people than those sophisticated guys and those experienced officials who have been deceiving people for many years.
Come on, with Yun Zheng's knowledge, you can't find it at all. Since it's new people and new territory, then new officials will be appointed.
Those who like to recite poems and compose poems are not allowed, those who like to visit brothels are not allowed, those who like to pretend to be elegant are not allowed, and the more talented they are, the more they are not allowed. These people may look glamorous on the surface, but in fact they are complete idiots in managing the people.
Yun Zheng galloped on his horse in the drizzle, feeling like a fire was burning in his heart. The new world should have a new atmosphere! (To be continued)
