Is Chapter 423 a smoke bomb?
[The fat pig competes with the elephant, but the nose is short, and the whole village will kill one bite, which is enough to eat for half a year]
[The year before last, I used radish to sell food, last year I used to spread rumors, this year I used it to sell food on tricycles No]
[You said Mr. Zhang is tall, with the rice orange reaching the top of his eyebrows. You said that Wang Er is very strong and can carry a large load of rice. You said that the girl's braids are thick, how dare you compare them with Dao Sui? 】
The poems and slogans in "Yunzhou Weekly" are becoming more and more exaggerated, but the sales of "Yunzhou Weekly" continue to gradually increase.
Many foreign businessmen thought this news was better than the novel section of "Yunzhou Weekly", so they bought "Yunzhou Weekly" and sold it to various places.
When the green grass in Yunzhou was just beginning to sprout, people in Nanjun, which is located more southerly, had already begun to wear short brown clothes.
"Master Zhu, various counties have begun to plant fruits, but it will take a few years from the time the fruit trees are planted to bear fruit. In a few years, will this canned fruit still sell well?" Nanjun's The officials' faces were full of anxiety.
A group of people walked in the countryside to check out the farming conditions.
Nan County is mountainous, and the farmland is not as vast as that in Yunzhou. Instead, it is patchy in the east and west. Planting is tiring and labor-intensive, and the yield is still low.
Even though Mr. Zhu has been working hard in Nanjun for many years, he still has no way to solve this problem.
The cultivated land is sparse and miscellaneous, and there are many mountainous roads, making it inconvenient to do business. This is the reason why Nanjun is poor.
Master Zhu looked at the fields where rice seedlings were sparsely planted, and rubbed his brows: "The dividends from canned fruits can last for several years. Gu Nanxi rarely makes one-time deals. , since he dares to teach us this art of canning, it means that He can't eat the canned fruit market alone."
Master Zhu looked at the mountains not far away: "Are those mountain people still unwilling to go out?"
mentioned this. Something happened, the officials following him complained.
"These mountain people don't know good and evil! Mr. Da Zhu gave them farmland for free and exempted them from rent for three years. They are not willing to go down the mountain!"
"Yes, the few villages that barely came out of the mountain are also They are so lazy, look at the fields they farm! Isn’t this a waste of time?”
"If you ask me, just let them fend for themselves!"
The staff shook his head: "There are not many Han people in Nanjun. If you really don't care about them, the relationship will return to what it was more than ten years ago. It’s time for those mountain people to go down the mountain and rob the Han people again.”
The officials all sighed.
More than ten years ago, coming to Nan County to be an official was a terrible job. Not only was the journey long and difficult to adapt to, but what was even worse was that the mountain people were barbaric and uncivilized!
In the past, several county magistrates were beheaded by mountain people who rushed to the county government office.
At that time, the imperial court was furious and wanted to send troops to quell the chaos. However, it was surrounded by mountains and the mountain road had eighteen bends. People who were not familiar with it would not have to encounter the mountain people when entering, and they would easily get lost and be eaten by wild beasts.
Twice in a row, the crusade failed to produce any results, so the Zhou court gave up.
Finally, Master Zhu came to Nanjun, and after some painstaking efforts, the conflict between the Han people and the mountain people was eased.
On the way back to Nanjun Governor's Mansion, Mr. Zhu did not speak, but closed his eyes to rest.
When he arrived in the study room, Mr. Zhu asked.
"I heard that the entire Yunzhou has built earth and cement roads, and they are very smooth when walking on them?" The staff sorted out the recent issues of "Yunzhou Weekly" with familiarity: "Yes! Big!" That’s what Zhuang said after they left.”
Master Zhu sat back on the rose chair, his whole body tense. He paused: "I pride myself on being a talented person and able to manipulate the world at my fingertips. Even Cui Sanlun, who was famous in Kyoto at the time, was fooled by me. I have always believed that only I can save all people." In the water and fire, the building is about to collapse."
Master Zhu twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a wry smile.
Through the window, the large branches in the yard are lush with leaves, and countless birds are building nests on them and multiplying.
It seems to be full of life, but little does anyone know that the trunk of this big tree is about to become hollow.
This is just the last glory of the tree before it dies.
Master Zhu’s words revealed endless fatigue: “What did “Yunzhou Weekly” say?”
The staff were dumbfounded, obviously shocked by the latest issue of “Yunzhou Weekly” arrive.
After a long time, the staff finally found his voice: "It is said that Yunzhou's corn yield per mu is 10,000 jins, and the piglets have gained 60 jins in one month!"
Master Zhu stood up for a moment!
He attaches great importance to farming, so he naturally understands what this yield means.
"How is it possible?! This is absolutely impossible! The yield of corn is indeed higher than that of rice, but it will definitely not reach 10,000 catties!"
Master Zhu then sat down again and smiled bitterly. Lianlian: "It seems that I really failed Well, since Gu Nanxi arrived in Yunzhou, she has not only resisted the enemy outside the city wall, integrated the grassland people and Han people, and developed business, but now even farming has developed to a level beyond our reach! How did she do it?
Mr. Zhu was disheartened, and a deep sense of frustration suddenly arose in his heart. He had spent many years studying in vain. He was so many years older than Gu Nanxi, but he was far behind her in terms of local governance!
The staff stared at Mr. Zhu’s gray hair, feeling unbearable, and comforted him: "Sir, you have done your best for Nanjun. Nanjun is different from Yunzhou. Although they are both remote places, the environment of Nanjun It’s much better than Yunzhou.”
“Nanjun is not disturbed by foreign enemies, and the climate is as warm as spring. To put it bluntly, the wild fruits on the mountain alone are enough for the mountain people to survive. They develop their lazy habits.”
“Yunzhou is different. They are always facing the threat of the Tatars from the north. In addition, the bitter cold in the north makes them unsuitable for planting, which makes their folk customs quite bad. Tough. "
One can survive with a little effort, but the other may not be able to survive with all his efforts. This leads to completely different motivations for the people in the two states and counties!
These words comforted Mr. Zhu slightly.
After all, Mr. Zhu is well-informed. After taking a few deep breaths, he pulled himself out of the bad mood of self-loathing. At this time, when he read "Yunzhou Weekly", the thoughts in his mind became even more Much more.
“Tell me, could this be fake news released by Gu Nanxi?”
The staff finger clicked on the words “sow racing elephant”: “Yes Maybe! No matter how powerful Gu Nanxi is, she won’t be able to achieve this level. Like! Maybe she really spread the news to others.”
Like many animals, when faced with a strong enemy, they will try to blow up their feathers to make themselves visible. It looks bigger, stronger, and more threatening.
Judging from Gu Nanxi's recent actions, she is accelerating the development of Yunzhou and accumulating strength. For her, a stable and stable external environment is the most beneficial!
"She is showing it to the Tatars in the north! She is betting on the Tatars and has not recovered from her previous failures!"
Master Zhu nodded: "If Yunzhou If Yunzhou is a fat pig, the group of Tatars will definitely swarm it, but if Yunzhou is an elephant, then all fools will weigh it!"
