You must know that due to the influence of the nine-level Zhengzhong system, the common people these days are truly untouchables in the eyes of officials. The gap between the clouds in the sky and the mud on the ground has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The long-term clear hierarchy has kept the people in a state of being ruled by officials.
, a state of exploitation and humiliation, the people these days have more hatred and hostility towards officials, or at least distrust.
However, the people in front of me happily worked together, and occasionally shouted and cursed loudly. However, the expressions of the people and officials were completely different from those in other places. The labor scene was warm and harmonious, and everyone seemed to be happy.
Very pleasant.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case in every county under Wang Junlin's command, it seems that he really did not make a mistake."
…………
…………
Going upstream along the large water channel, Wei Zheng saw countless large waterwheels powered by the wind. Not only were there waterwheels, but some watermills were also placed on the specially tightened river channels, driven by the rapid water flow.
The huge blades of the water mill, and then the blades drove the huge stone mill, grinding the previous year's grains, and then grinding out white flour. He had never seen this kind of stone mill before, and the efficiency surprised him.
, especially the whiteness and delicacy of the flour made him feel incredible...
The tall waterwheel, driven by the perennial monsoon wind from the east coast, slowly scoops the river water into the tall water platform with a bucket. The cheerful water flow then pours the river water into the high water platform along the tall water platform.
In the ditch......
Wei Zheng found himself fascinated by these things. It was not that he had never seen a waterwheel before, but this was the first time he had seen such a sophisticated design and such an easy-to-use design, especially a waterwheel driven by wind.
"Is this place really the remote Fanyang County? The world only knows Wang Junlin's vicious and poisonous name, but they don't know that Wang Junlin has created miracles in saving the world and benefiting the people." Wei Zheng murmured with emotion.
Although Wei Zheng also came from a noble family, he was not a high-minded person who did not eat fireworks. He knew that water conservancy had a very obvious role in helping farming, and the huge difference in harvest between irrigated land and dry land was something that no one could understand.
We can not be ignored.
After Wei Zheng observed carefully for a while and figured out the basic working principles of waterwheels and watermills, he turned his attention to the dotted canals.
".........The land is flat and vast, with well-groomed houses. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos. There is traffic on every road, and chickens and dogs hear each other. There is planting and cultivation..."
Farmland that looks unremarkable to outsiders soon becomes a complete picture in the eyes of people like Wei Zheng.
This is a beautiful landscape painting. In Wei Zheng's opinion, there is no need to use color, and only ink with appropriate shades can best express the current scene.
Yellow dogs pounce on wild birds in the fields, and children roar in the new mulberry fields...
In such an environment, Wei Zheng had the idea that he was too lazy to pay attention to all the disputes in the world and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the understanding of new things.
There are many new things in Fanyang County, and these are just structural design drawings that Nie Xiaoyu drew in more than ten seconds when he passed by occasionally, saw some things and scenes, or listened to Wang Junlin's words, and then handed them over to the people below to follow.
Drawings are researched and produced.
Not to mention wind-powered waterwheels and water mills, there is also a four-wheeled carriage with a turntable that can carry thousands of kilograms of cargo. There are flat-bottomed boats floating in the river that can be transported back and forth in very shallow waters, and can easily lift thousands of
Gantry cranes that can weigh tens of thousands of kilograms, as well as lightweight single-arm cranes that can rotate.
Everything made Wei Zheng deeply moved and even shocked.
Along the way, Wei Zheng also had a general understanding of some of the systems and policies implemented by the Fanyang County government, and found that Fanyang County was clearly a country within a country, which was completely different from the official system of the Sui Dynasty.
"Wang Junlin has only been in Fanyang County for more than three years, and he may have only taken control of Fanyang County for less than two years, but he already has a deep-rooted feeling, let alone the military, and has a vague feeling of being invincible. However,
I don’t think Wang Junlin was so outstanding in domestic affairs. How did Wang Junlin and his officials...how did they do it?"
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng suddenly felt worried. He traveled thousands of miles to come and recommend himself, just because he wanted to realize his ambition under Wang Junlin, contribute to the stable life of all people in the world, and contribute to ending the troubled times, but Wang Junlin and his ministers have already done this.
Okay, I am just a strange petty official in the county government thousands of miles away. What is the possibility that Wang Junlin can reuse him without considering him as a spy?
From the perspective of Wei Zheng at this time, the place that Wang Junlin governed was like a newly born real dragon that was growing healthily and vigorously. Once this real dragon was given a certain amount of time to grow up, it would surely sweep the world.
But if this real dragon has been nesting in Fanyang County and the two counties newly occupied by the Far Eastern Army, unable to stretch its body, and only had two to three million people to support it, it will never really grow up.
Wei Zheng believed that King Qin An and his generals and ministers should have realized this, so he resigned from his official position, took all his savings, and traveled across mountains and rivers under the protection of a few loyal followers and guards.
No matter how slowly Wei Zheng walked along the way, he still arrived at Fanyang County after more than ten days.
More than ten days seemed to Wei Zheng like a century had passed. There were some things and changes in Fanyang County that gave Wei Zheng a feeling of reopening a new world. This feeling filled Wei Zheng with the passion and yearning of his youth.
.
If the changes and prosperity in the counties below Fanyang County surprised Wei Zheng, then the prosperity of Fanyang County today shook Wei Zheng's mind.
Wei Zheng had never been to the previous Fanyang County, but he still knew the status of Fanyang County in the Sui Dynasty. Compared with other counties at the same level, the gap was not even a little bit.
When he was in Wuyang County, he knew from the mouths of some businessmen who had traveled far away that Fanyang County was now very prosperous, especially the grain production was very high. But when he saw the real Fanyang County, he realized that this wealth was different from what he had imagined.
It's completely different - this is not a wealth where everyone has money, but a wealth where everyone's life continues to get better every day.
Wei Zheng not only came from an aristocratic family, but he was also a scholar who respected Confucianism. However, unlike other scholars and scholars who came from aristocratic families, he not only read and studied traditional Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, but also paid attention to some subtle things related to the people's livelihood.
I am very interested and have done some research.
At the same time, he was not as prejudiced about medicine, farming, and geography as other scholars from aristocratic families were, but he also did some research.
Before he came, he thought that Wang Junlin must focus entirely on the army, and all the people tightened their belts and went hungry to support the army.
However, this was not the case in fact. He had not seen the strength of the Far Eastern Army, but he was certain that people's livelihood was also Wang Junlin's focus, and this was exactly what he liked.
