Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three: The Tiger's Body Shocked, The King's Qi Disperses
one month later
Gaochang County, inside a residence in the central area.
Sun Qian and Cui Yan, the two senior brothers, gathered together again today because tomorrow they will go their separate ways.
Although it is an exaggeration to say this, it is also true that they went their separate ways.
Half a month ago, the two of them went to Gaochang County. The original purpose was just to discuss the second half of the book "Circle of Chaos". They came to discuss Taoism and ask for advice.
However, in just half a month, the two of them felt that a scholar would die for a confidant, and they wanted to follow Xiong Yan and the others in their career.
As for why, there are many reasons.
The most superficial reason is that the two of them were conquered by Xiong Yan's personal charm. Xiong Yan's tiger body shook, and his domineering aura was scattered. The two recognized their master on the spot and called Ming Gong.
The deeper reason is that Xiong Yan gave too much!
Under the rule of Gaochang County, as long as you obtain the status of a Chinese citizen, you can obtain for free the twelve sets of guidance techniques recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, as well as the entry-level cultivation methods of Confucianism.
A large number of secret books, extraordinary level books, knowledge, and a large number of Taoist principles are directly placed there, and you can get them if you are willing to come.
You can also learn the most advanced and extraordinary knowledge through one paper after another. As long as you stay here, becoming a Confucian scholar in the future is not a dream!
The two saw hope, so they bowed their heads to Xiong Yan!
As for the most fundamental reason, the two of them felt that Xiong Yan was very powerful, and they also felt that the elite soldiers and generals under Xiong Yan were very powerful.
In their eyes, Xiong Yan is a serious Confucian, Chu Xuan is also a serious Confucian, and Lin Er, a guy who looks a little abnormal, is also a real Confucian with his strength.
There are also Ji Zhen, people like Lu Zhou who are invincible in arithmetic, and generals like Wang Zongchao who have obtained the true inheritance of military strategists...
When Sun Qian and Cui Yan had a thorough understanding of the average quality of this wave of more than 80 descendants, they felt that today's Gaochang County is obviously Pei County four hundred years ago!
Xiao He, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying...
When you meet the Land of Longxing and meet the future True Dragon Emperor, why don't you quickly pay your respects to him? What are you waiting for?
After having this understanding, the two quickly joined Xiong Yan's camp and became part of Xiong Yan's team. Today is the day when the two of them finish observing the government and choose the direction of future development.
The talents of these two people have been recorded in history books.
Nowadays, they are all at the celebrity level. They can use their mental power to cast spells, and there is no doubt about their strength. Not to mention their IQ, so after letting them study and observe politics for nearly half a month, they will start to be reused.
"I'm on a field trip this time. The next time I come back, it might be time for spring plowing or autumn harvest."
Although he said goodbye, he didn't feel sad at all. Sun Qian even hugged the rice wine happily and took a big sip.
"Daxia is different from the Han Dynasty. There are no landlords or powerful people here in Xia Bo. All the land belongs to Xia Bo alone. Only land in the city can be bought and sold freely." I thought of what I had seen in the past half month. , Cui Yan only felt like a dream.
In the city, that's called real estate.
Outside the city, it’s called fields.
In Daxia's territory, all the fields belong to Xiong Yan's personal private property. Xiong Yan then authorized the management of these private properties to the Daxia County Government, and the county magistrate Chuxuan was responsible for the management and operation.
Chu Xuan gave some of the land to Huang Zixing, the president of the Agricultural Commercial Bank affiliated to Daxia, for management.
Huang Zixing then hired a large number of agricultural workers to farm the land for him based on the actual situation. These agricultural workers were all from agricultural firms and had signed contracts. In modern society, this is called having an establishment and an iron rice bowl.
The current Gaochang County is actually not like a traditional court, but more like a large enterprise, and all the people have been turned into workers.
Most of the people are agricultural workers and have signed a contract with Huang Zixing to take care of the farmland and be responsible for agricultural production in the future.
A small number of ordinary people may have joined other trading firms and were responsible for a series of production work such as iron smelting, forging, casting of artillery, and the production of gunpowder.
In fact, Xiong Yan and Chu Xuan had nothing to do.
There are too few arrivals!
Modern people basically cannot trust the integrity of aboriginal officials!
Corruption in officialdom is a problem that has never been eradicated in the past dynasties. Xiong Yan does not think that he can stop the subordinate officials and stop oppressing the people by shaking his body.
But there were too few travelers, and not one village was enough. So the strategy was adopted to eliminate all the farmers and all the country people.
From now on, there will only be city dwellers in Daxia, not country folk!
There are no farmers, only agricultural workers!
Directly from the beginning of the establishment of the regime, the basis for land annexation and land sales was abolished.
There is another obvious benefit of doing this. The common people are concentrated under the noses of the time-travelers, and the probability of being bullied by petty officials is much smaller.
"Uncle Xia loves the people. He loves the people from the bottom of his heart. This is a good thing." Sun Qian said proactively.
I finally found the True Dragon Emperor, and the power of the dragon is right in front of my eyes. I can't grasp it clearly at this time.
"Of course this is a good thing. This is true benevolence. With this move, Uncle Xia can be regarded as the greatest master of Confucianism." Cui Yan made no secret of his admiration for Xiong Yan.
Even flatterers like the Grand Master have come out.
However, if Xiong Yan heard this, he would only smile disdainfully.
Because the last great master honored by Confucianism was called Kublai Khan!
At that time, Kublai Khan ruled the world. In order to flatter him, the Confucian scholars said that he was the great master of Confucianism. But even so, Kublai Khan did not give the Confucian scholars a good look. Under the Yuan Dynasty, there were only nine Confucians and ten beggars!
The status of Confucian scholars is only slightly higher than that of beggars.
"Drink wine and eat meat. Although this fish doesn't taste very good, it's enough."
While eating fish meat, Sun Qian couldn't help but sigh: "A whale can have tens of thousands of kilograms of meat, and a fishing boat can easily catch tens of thousands of kilograms of fish once it goes out to sea. Why didn't the court think of this before?
How many people can be saved? If the imperial court had developed the sea before, would so many people in Beihai still starve to death? Would there still be so many people who could not survive and follow the Yellow Turban Army?"
Sun Qian's hometown is from Beihai and is a member of Qingzhou. From the Yellow Turban Uprising ten years ago to now, the entire hometown has been devastated.
"Brother Gongyou, don't forget the fact that powerful families are vying for blood. They are like locusts one after another, lying on the bodies of the people to suck blood. Even if the imperial court opened the sea before, how many fish meat and sea salt are caught and dried?
Will the branch fall on ordinary people?"
"Their greed is endless! If the fundamental problem is not solved, what will happen even if the sea is developed?"
After Sun Qian sighed, he raised the wine jar and started drinking heavily...
