Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Pingjiang is the modern Suzhou. Pingjiang’s wealth is inseparable from its climate. Lin Yuan learned it when he was studying geography. Suzhou has four distinct seasons and abundant rainfall. It grows rice, wheat and rapeseed, and produces cotton, sericulture, and fruit. There are also many famous specialties - Chengyang Lake hairy crabs, etc., which are marked with subtropical monsoon oceanic climate.

Fan Dacheng in the Song Dynasty once left a letter saying: "The spring is warm and the flowers are fragrant, and the age is healthy and the time is healthy. It is true that there is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below."

A poet in the Tang Dynasty also said: "People say you come from the south of the Yangtze River, but I say you come from the sky."

When Lin Yuan saw Pingjiang's granary, he realized that these praises were not exaggerated.

The abundance of granaries in Pingjiang is extremely rare. In other cities and states, all the grain and grass are stored with old grain. Officials want to fish for oil and water, so new grain will not be put into the granary. Most of the grain in the granary is old grain from a few years ago. Lin Yuan I have also seen a granary full of moldy grains, which have been stored there for more than ten years, not to mention eating them, and even rubbing them can turn them into coarser sand.

Weren't the former high officials in Pingjiang not greedy?

Naturally also greedy.

But no matter how greedy they are, the granary in Pingjiang is always full. Although there is old grain in it, there is also a lot of new grain.

Probably because of the good climate, the rice grown in Pingjiang has plump grains after husking, and it is fragrant after cooking.

After the wheat is milled, the pastry is more chewy.

Lin Yuan is now holding a bowl of rice in his hand. The white rice is paired with a boiled fish, and he eats to his heart's content.

He has been traveling for so long, and he has never been very particular about eating. There are too many things every day, just like the third year of high school, he is so busy that he doesn't even touch the ground. He only had one year in the third year of high school, but he has experienced a high-pressure life for several years. He has something on his mind, and nothing tastes good, even dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

Chen Bosong just came back to fight the soldiers, the two sat at the table to eat, Lin Yuan took a sip of chicken soup, and leaned back on the chair satiated, it was rare for him to be so full, his stomach protruded a bit, but Chen Bosong ate without changing his expression I ordered eight bowls of white rice, and I was going to fill it up again.

Even Lin Yuan, a man who has experienced the stage of growing his body, feels that this appetite is really too big.

After all, the bowl is not small.

He wondered: "You eat so much, where did you eat?"

I didn't see Chen Bosong gaining weight, but his muscles became stronger.

Chen Bosong put down the bowl and chopsticks, he just ate the fish with the last chopsticks.

Chen Bosong doesn’t know how to spit spines, so he somehow learned a new way to eat fish. Chew the fish and rice together, swallow the spines together, and then swallow the rice without chewing, so the fishbone won’t get stuck Throat.

Lin Yuan looked terrified, afraid that Chen Bosong would choke to death in a second.

Chen Bosong's sitting posture is better than Lin Yuan's. He is physically stronger than Lin Yuan, with his back straightened, and he looks very imposing. After all, he is a general trained from thousands of troops, and he is no longer the old one who herded cattle and drove carts. Grandma.

People are going to change.

Lin Yuan forgot where he had heard it, but now that he thought about it, it made sense.

"There is nothing constant in this world, the only constant is change."

Chen Bosong said: "I always feel that I don't have enough to eat."

Lin Yuan: "How did you eat during the march?"

Chen Bosong thought for a while: "Dry food is enough."

The dry food Chen Bosong mentioned is actually mixed noodles. Because he is afraid of spoilage, he made it very durable and extremely hard. Lin Yuan tried it once, but he could only bite it in small bites. Hot water, it would be better to put dry biscuits in and cook for a while, but it has no taste, it can only fill the stomach.

Soldiers are marching, and they can eat meat after winning battles. Meat is bacon and sausages. These two are not easy to spoil. In addition, Lin Yuan has salt in his hand, so he doesn’t have to worry about the salt. Fresh meat is not good, and it can’t be stored for two days. It was about to start to stink, and it was impossible to march with ice.

"I'll ask someone to think of a way." Lin Yuan stood up, and Chen Bosong followed behind Lin Yuan.

The two were eating in the corridor. The flowers and plants in Pingjiang grow better than those in Gaoyou. The flowers in the yard are full of energy and do not need to take care of them. Feeling tired, Lin Yuan had something on his mind, and Chen Bosong was not a talkative person, so he just walked quietly.

"Fifty thousand soldiers in Pingjiang is enough." Lin Yuan said to Chen Bosong, "You take the rest out and do your old job."

Chen Bosong didn't ask either—he liked Lin Yuan the most. When Lin Yuan gave an order, Chen Bosong would carry it out. He wouldn't ask why, nor would he make his own interpretation.

What Lin Yuan established was a new regime, and every regime should operate like a machine so that there would be no place to get stuck.

The deliberation of government affairs, the management of people's livelihood, the management of people's livelihood, the soldier's service, and the war's war, every link is closely connected and closely connected, so that we can have stronger execution capabilities.

If the orders below are issued, and the people below have their own ideas, even if there is only a little bit, the execution will be greatly reduced.

In fact, there is one thing that is similar between modern and ancient times, and that is centralization.

In modern times, power seems to be decentralized, but no matter which country, it is still a small group of people who make decisions. If everyone can make decisions and influence government orders, the country will be in chaos.

Isn't he the one who came to offer the state and city to Lin Yuan?

They overthrew the rule above, and distributed power to those who followed them according to their own promises.

The results of it?

They can't get through it at all. There are a thousand opinions in a thousand mouths, and everyone has their own perspective.

Everyone has selfishness, but even if some people have selfishness, they will pay attention to righteousness.

But some people only have selfishness and no family and country, so they will become moths. If those in power don’t find out, the moths will grow bigger and bigger, forming cliques and occupying a greater right to speak. In the end, even the people in power Neither can be shaken.

Between the monarch and his ministers, there is a mutual check and balance. The ruler is strong and the minister is weak. If the monarch is a tyrant, the ministers can do nothing but cry, make trouble and hang themselves.

If the ruler is weak and the subjects are strong, the ruler is just a shield, just like Anfeng now, doesn't Liu Futong control the government?Little Ming Wang is just a signboard in his hand.

If Xiaoming Wang dares to take back the power in Liu Futong's hands now, and dares to confront Liu Futong head-on, Liu Futong will be able to paralyze the government.

Without courtiers, is a king still a king?

People are profit-seeking creatures, following Liu Futong, one can hold real power, get promoted and make a fortune.

Following Xiao Ming Wang, even if Xiao Ming Wang promoted him to an official position, would he be able to hold real power, and would his words be useful?

People talk about orthodoxy, but they also know in their hearts who holds power and who is orthodox.

Chen Bosong said: "Someone gave me a gift."

Lin Yuan: "Who?"

Chen Bosong said, "Zhao Chengguang."

Lin Yuan had a question mark on his face, who is this person?Never heard of it.

Chen Bosong: "I used to be a village chief who led the villagers to rebel against the imperial court and captured Jianglin."

...Lin Yuan remembered that this person was not among the famous uprising leaders at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Guess it wasn't included in the history books because he didn't have any skills?After all, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were rebellions everywhere, and people rebelled everywhere. It is probably impossible to record them one by one.

Chen Bosong said again: "He also asked someone to send me a letter and asked me to bring it to you."

Lin Yuan got the letter with a strange expression on his face. This Zhao Chengguang is a madman, so mad that people can't laugh or cry.

The meaning of the letter is: "I rebelled and killed all those corrupt officials. I heard that you are doing well. We are the same. I will be enthroned soon. If you have nothing to do, come and participate in my enthronement ceremony. Arrive I will give you an official title, and I will definitely not give you a junior title. I will be the emperor, and you will be the king. We will discuss the title at that time. You must come. If you don’t come, you will look down on me. Troops have been sent against you."

Lin Yuan handed the letter to Chen Bosong to read.

Chen Bosong stuttered and finished reading, his expression suddenly became fierce, his whole body was like a sharpened knife, buzzing to drink blood: "I'll go and take the head of this man!"

Lin Yuan waved his hands and smiled: "No, why waste troops."

Lin Yuan continued to walk forward: "There are too many people like this, if they all go to fight, wouldn't they be exhausted to death?"

Some rebels just look at the profit. Thousands of people under their command dare to call themselves emperors, appoint a bunch of officials, and then come to Sangong and Liuyuan, and become local emperors in places where no one is paying attention. When the world is settled, if If you meet a ruler who wants to show kindness, you might be able to get an official position and continue to be the emperor of the country. If you meet someone who is unwilling to show kindness, it will be over.

Just like the imperial court, don't they really want to send troops directly to fight against the rebels?

Of course I want to, but the reason why I recruit security every time, although there are reasons for my own strength, there are also reasons for putting on airs.

You see, he rebelled, but I didn't beat him. As long as he surrenders, I will give him an official job.

Are you tired too?Then you accept the recruitment, and I will also give you an official job.

If the Yuan Dynasty had not been overthrown, then all those recruited would be unlucky.

But most of those recruited are not aware of this, and their eyes can only see what is in front of them, and they can only see the benefits that will be in their hands immediately.

Chen Bosong looked at the letter with a stern expression.

Lin Yuan: "Don't be so serious, just smile."

Chen Bosong: "..."

However, Pingjiang is not as good as Gaoyou. Gaoyou was in chaos at the time. The old rules were broken, and Lin Yuan could successfully establish a new order. However, Pingjiang did not experience the same wars as Gaoyou. Yes, the officials only know this method.

It is very difficult to change.

Lin Yuan sighed, and said to Chen Bosong, "Go back and rest first."

Chen Bosong nodded: "Master, take care of yourself."

Lin Yuan: "I know."

He had to think about how to change Pingjiang into what he wanted with the least amount of damage.

Now that Pingjiang has changed hands, the resistance to change is less. When everything is settled, if you want to change it, the difficulty will change from three stars to ten stars.
