Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 360 Gathering Hearts with Infrastructure

In fact, Zhang Yi had already thought about this purpose. He has been using the hospital to publicize the dangers of early marriage and early childbearing all these years, but the effect has been very little.But it can be regarded as a vaccination for the people.After Zhang Yi's decree was issued, although many people were surprised, not many people stood up and said it right.

This is the effect of Zhang Yi's past policies, which has made people blindly trust him.It’s just that many people don’t understand that if it’s time to recuperate, shouldn’t it be better to have a larger population?But who knows this? Increasing the population should not come at the expense of early marriage and early childbearing.Early marriage and early childbearing seriously affect the average life span of women and will also give birth to children with poor health. A large number of these children will die in infancy.

For the survival rate of children and the average age of the population, Zhang Yi believes that changes must be made.Although we can't change the same as later and increase the age of marriage leave to more than 20, we must control the age of [-] and [-].And Zhang Yi asked the hospital to publicize the dangers of early marriage and early childbearing, so as to reduce the difficulty of implementing the law.

And set up women's workshops to promote the latest looms so that women can have economic capabilities.The low social status of women is entirely determined by their economic ability. Except for the martyrs, the famous women in history are basically career-oriented women. For example, Wu Zetian, most men do not have a career as big as hers.

In the past five years, various regions in China have continued to develop. The four counties in the north have also become wealthy due to the construction of bridges, roads and canals. Infrastructure has always been an important part of national development.

It's just that the ancient emperors didn't understand the principles of economics, they only knew how to save money and increase labor, so they ended up complaining and forcing the people to rebel.

However, Zhang Yi's construction of bridges, roads and canals in various places is completely welcomed. Although people don't know the truth about building roads before getting rich, the economic benefits brought by road construction are real and visible.

Every time a job is recruited, it is always overcrowded. As long as there is nothing to do, they all go to sign up.Not to mention the food, the one thousand dollars alone is more than the monthly income of many people.

Zhang Yi quickly gathered people's hearts through the infrastructure project and made the people grateful.The money was all taken from Zhang Yi's small private treasury. Last year, there were [-] million yuan, and Zhang Yi's small treasury was about to be emptied.

The success of the infrastructure project has made many gentry feel threatened, and the existence of the gentry is actually attached to the people everywhere.There are rarely many soldiers in a place, and there are only a few in a county at most.

Because the gentry also need industry and resources, whether it is rights resources, land resources or population resources.The resources of each county are limited, only enough for a few families to share, and one more family will reduce the share of others.

This reason is also a main reason for the local plot of the Chinese people.The gentry has a very good reputation in the local area, even the most hateful gentry will show a hypocritical side.Because their life is inseparable from the support of the local people, their land needs to be cultivated, they need to buy land from the local people, and they need to compare with the local people to maintain their status.

They have behaved kindly. Although the local people will envy their family's wealth and self-cultivation, they will not be too jealous. .

This also created a very united phenomenon, but this kind of unity is a unity centered on the gentry.People from the gentry would act as the three elders, helping the locals communicate with the government, and also cut off the contact between the locals and the government, but the court had to give benefits to the gentry in exchange for their support.

The infrastructure work required a lot of manpower, so the labor force divided by the gentry was recruited away, so many gentry had to cultivate the land by themselves.But even if you do it yourself, there are not enough manpower. If you don't want to let the land go to waste, then increase the bargaining chip in hiring people, at least as much as Zhang Yi gave, and then use the old feelings to talk about one or two.

Zhang Yi's move obviously touched the interests of the gentry, but many gentry did not dare to complain when they saw the elite soldiers guarding the counties.

Zhang Yi stationed troops in various counties to prevent this from happening. As long as there was a small-scale rebellion, he would be strangled immediately.The guards in each county are all Qu Changdu Bo. These people are middle and low-level officers. They are very eager to make achievements and wish that someone would take the initiative to jump out and stir up trouble!

These defenders all live on the edge of the city, but they practice every day. They will run on or under the city wall early in the morning to show their presence.From time to time, training will be held in different places in the county to show the muscles of the soldiers from all over the place.

In this way, ordinary people will feel safe because they know that someone is protecting them.And those who harbor ulterior motives will be on tenterhooks, for fear of revealing clues to arouse suspicion.

In the past six years in China, Zhang Yi originally planned to conduct a second Northern Expedition this year.However, because the infrastructure work in the past two years was so good and too much money and food were consumed, Zhang Yi postponed the second Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition was postponed, so it would be good to continue to complete the infrastructure this year. Last year, the roads in the northern states were almost repaired, and the canal was only short of the river.

But it is a big project to connect with the river.Because the river at this time has become an above-ground river, if it is not done well, it will definitely flood the river.

Zhang Yi is very concerned about this matter. The flooding of the river is no joke. At that time, the country will be flooded for thousands of miles. It is impossible to develop again in ten or eight years.The last time the river flooded was in Xinmang three years ago. Because no one took care of it that time, it flooded for 60 years, a Jiazi!
Zhang Yi continued to carry out simulation tests, first using a model, and then chose a remote river for field testing, but the test results were not very satisfactory.

Before the river again, it was called the turbid river, and it was obvious that there had been serious soil erosion.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, many nomadic peoples moved inland in Hebei and other places, and returned the farmland to grassland, which made the river clearer.

Zhang Yi also gradually returned the farmland around the Yellow River to grassland, and gradually replaced the farmland near the river with other places.His next step is to build another river embankment in addition to the river water embankment, so that the river water will become an underground river again.The new embankment was dug on the spot, and the ditches dug out just acted as new flow channels for the river.

This is another huge project, and it is much more difficult than digging a canal. You must know that the downstream of the river is thousands of miles, and digging it bit by bit is not a year or two.Moreover, it must be stronger than the original embankment, and it cannot be completed overnight.
