Wear it together with a Taoist [Quick Transmigration]

"The farmer's association, in my plan with Ci Jiu, after two years, it's best to put it back to the private sector, and the government will only play a role of supervision and control of the contract. Otherwise, the government will have too much power and have selfish motives. Officials, I am afraid that they will eat at both ends, which will harm the people. The mutual market is the opposite. It is best to let those merchants test the water at first, as long as the sale of specific materials is prohibited. However, the government can also open an opening by itself. We trade with the Yanrong people, we sell according to our rules, and they sell according to their rules, whoever has the advantage will see who earns more and earns more steadily.

The crown prince nodded at the side. Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo rarely did things in the past. My father also commented that these two young people are not like young people, because young people are often very aggressive and impatient. , When they think of an idea, they will do it. After finishing it, they hope to have results in the short term.

But these two are different. They always think a lot about things and spend a lot of time.

The prince let Taizong hold him on his lap since he was a child. Seeing Taizong handle government affairs, he had seen a few typical impatient people.They are talented, and they may also be out of public interest, but most of them have done bad things.

It seems that in order to increase the local population, the widow was forced to marry. As a result, not only the widow hanged herself, but also the mother-in-law who had been taken care of by the widow was also killed.There is also persuading farmers to open up wasteland. In the cold winter months, people will be driven out to open up wasteland. As a result, some people froze to death, which almost sparked a civil uprising.The more serious one was self-righteously dredging the river, but the embankment was directly removed, and the flood came down directly.

Radical and headstrong officials cannot be used no matter how talented they are.

The prince was worried that these two young people whom he liked were also the same kind of people, but now it is certain that they are not.

"Thank you, brother Duan, for clarifying the confusion." The prince laughed happily. Although they took the imperial examinations by himself, he knew them earlier, rounding up, these two people can be regarded as his discovery.

Duan Shaobo quickly waved his hand: "Brother Zhao, I'm actually not good at this. These are what Ci Jiu said when he chatted with me earlier. If Brother Zhao wants to know more details, I'll exchange Ci Jiu."

Although economics can be regarded as a science subject, the impact of politics on the economy cannot be deduced from various functions in many cases.Duan Shaobo has no problem with various functions, but if he adds the variable "person", he will be blinded.

"No need to change, no need to change, I'm going to Liangshan..." Seeing that Duan Shaobo, who was still smiling just now, gradually lost his smile following his words, and looked at him with "kind" eyes, the prince closed his mouth, "Okay , I'll wait for Brother Gu here."

The princess couldn't hold back her laughter at the side.

The prince didn't wait too long, and Gu Cijiu came the next afternoon.The two closed the door and talked secretly for one night and one day.Under the reception of Gu Cijiu, the prince continued to visit the farmer's fair for two days. At this time, many merchants who originally came to buy things have become stall owners here and come here to sell things.

In the past few days, the prince has also encountered several emergencies, but the guards managed here can quickly deal with it fairly.

"I found that when something happens to farmers, you are not worried or angry." The prince and Gu Cijiu sat in the tea shed by the side of the road, and now the people sitting around here are complete, but they were not brought by the prince. The guards are the manpower arranged by the prefect's mansion.

"The guards here have all been trained in advance, and they can handle most situations well. If there is any trouble, you can also ask the responsible officials." Gu Cijiu pointed at himself, "It's me."

"But I saw it, don't you think it's bad?" The prince blinked, there are always many "differences" between these two people, "I have also inspected other places, and everyone else must do things. Be perfect, once you make a mistake, your face will become extremely ugly."

Gu Cijiu shook his head: "There is no one who does not get sick from eating whole grains. No matter how well prepared things are, there will always be various emergencies. This is not because the government is not good at doing things, but because the businessmen themselves are making trouble. It came out, and the response of the guards showed that their previous training was not in vain, they handled things well, why should I be unhappy?"

"What's more important, brother Zhao didn't realize that after the matter was settled, the merchants didn't feel unhappy, and most of them felt more at ease."

"..." The prince thought for a while, "Indeed."

"Actually, whether it's a businessman or an ordinary person, as long as the government is fair enough, people can be retained."

The crown prince raised his eyebrows: "Brother Gu, is this alluding to the Gu family?"

"Although benevolence and righteousness are good, it also depends on who is being treated. To be benevolent and righteous to tigers and leopards is to treat yourself as a fish delivered to your door."

The champion of Gu Cijiu's subject, the very petite Gu Yonglin, was surnamed Gu.But he can be ignored, he has a brother Gu Yongan who is 20 years older than him, this is a relatively important little boss in the original plot - he is a great Confucian.

Although the folk customs in this era were tough, the common people did not shake their fists in the slightest, and the Confucian scholars were all able to slay people on horseback, but there were always a few characters who "everyone is drunk and I am alone".He advocates benevolence, but it is different from the benevolence of Confucius, who "repays grievances with straightness and rewards virtue with virtue".In his concept, benevolence is for all things, and it is "when someone hits me on the left cheek, I will stretch out the right cheek until the other person is touched by me and can't do anything."

"However, Brother Gu, don't you think that if the world is benevolent and righteous, then officials will be less corrupt, and there will be justice, and the people will be less fighting, and there will be peace, and the world will be much more peaceful and stable?"

Gu Cijiu laughed: "If I see a person like Gu Yong'an, I will slap him in the face and let him experience it for himself to see if he can influence me. Many of his disciples have been fooled by him. Yes, but the rest of the people, like Brother Zhao, start from their own interests. Indeed, if the people are full of benevolence and righteousness, it will be much easier to manage."

"Are you lame?" The prince thought the word was quite interesting.

"Whether the people are managed well, whether they pursue benevolence or righteousness when they are not in the world, the people of Qin State back then were ghosts when they fought, and they were the people when they were received. Are they difficult to manage? As long as the government is fair, the people will follow. Your Highness, look at the state of Huzhou. People, in this place, the winter in a year is longer than the other three seasons combined, wild animals are rampant, and salt troops are harassing, but it is so difficult, the people here will still pay taxes as much as possible, once there is a war, they will use the fastest Armed with speed, shouting loudly to kill the enemy, even women and children are equally tough."

Gu Ci sat upright for a long time, no longer chatting with the prince as a friend, but an official who has been admonishing seriously.

"Your Highness, it is indeed safer to herd a flock of sheep. Two dogs and one stick are enough. But if tigers and wolves come, the shepherd can only run away. If the dogs are loyal, they will fight to the death for the shepherd. If they are timid, fear It can run faster than a shepherd. But if you are grazing a group of ferocious wolves, you have to avoid tigers and bears. Your Highness, do you want to herd sheep or wolves?"

The prince only felt that his heart was beating so violently.

There are many people admonishing him, but no one has ever spoken so bluntly.

Sheep or wolf?Herding sheep is easy, just take them to find pasture, and let them be slaughtered.The wolves can't do it, he has to feed them, otherwise it is likely to backfire.

But...but...

"Gu Tanhua, looking at your gentle manner, you are also a murderous person."

"Isn't that what I, Da Wei?"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

That's right, that's not the case with Da Wei. The prefect of Huzhou, who was the farmer's trade fair, had been watching for two days when the farmers' trade fair first opened, and now he doesn't know where the waves are going.

It's just right for the people to be like this now, so let's not talk about the benevolence and righteousness that has already been dazed.

"Your Highness, before you leave, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Shaobo has researched a new paper-making process, which greatly reduces the cost of paper-making. The two of us think that this craft should be dedicated to the imperial court." Gu Cijiu took out a box and pushed it in front of the prince.

This kind of move is not because the two are worried about the revenge of the aristocratic family.

Nowadays, paper is unique to the upper class. Papermaking uses hemp and silk, which is expensive in itself, and the cycle of papermaking is very long. A book is worth a hundred taels of silver.As for officials like them, their salaries can't buy much paper, and most of them rely on court rewards—just like the welfare of modern units.

Paper and books are expensive because they are expensive.Aristocratic families make paper, mostly for their own children.Because in this era, making paper and lottery by yourself is an elegant thing.There are very few families that specialize in selling paper, because there are so many silk and hemp, it is better to sell cloth directly.

Therefore, contrary to the situation in many time-travel stories, most of the aristocratic families will not be unhappy, but will be happy with the improvement of papermaking.Who wouldn't want to use cheaper, better quality paper?

Not retaliating does not mean that he will not be moved by the trend of interests.Paper is a thing that is cheap when it is expensive. It seems that the consumption is not large, but once it is cheap, the profit of this kind of small profit but quick turnover is amazing.They have many ways to make money, which is already very eye-catching. If there is any further movement, some people may not be able to help but reach out.

Although both of them are not afraid of fighting with others, it is really unnecessary.

The prince opened the box, and there was a roll of white paper on top of it, which was as white as snow, without any blemishes. When he sniffed it lightly, there was a faint scent of grass and trees.

The prince is also a person who is good at selecting paper, and his eyes have changed when he looks at the paper.He raised his head and looked around, obviously wanting to try the paper, but when he looked at the environment, he remembered what time it was and what he was doing, so he could only suppress the impulse.

Looking down again, it is a kind of wrinkled gray paper. The crown prince is holding it in his hand. He is sure that it is impossible to write on it. If a little ink is put on it, it may be blurred: "This is... ..."

"Paper." The original author did something good. He didn't let people in this world use toilet chips, but used another kind of straw paper—a kind of paper made by beating leaves with large broad sides similar to reeds. It's soft, but it's brittle and doesn't absorb water well.

"Ah!!! This one is especially good!" The prince laughed, and finally there was a stack of thick drawings drawn on kraft paper with charcoal pencils.The prince touched the kraft paper, then lifted up the drawing for a closer look.

Duan Shaobo approached and helped him explain one by one.

"What do you mean by purifying pollution...?"

"The things left after papermaking are poisonous. Not just papermaking, iron smelting, burning lime, tanning leather, dyeing cloth, etc., will produce toxic substances, either as poisonous water or poisonous smoke .”

"Well... I really haven't seen these things before..." The prince nodded, thinking that he should go and see for himself in the future.

"If it is produced on a small scale, it is okay to discharge these poisonous substances. Just like some poisonous substances, famous doctors use them to treat diseases because of the dosage. But if they are taken in large quantities, they will definitely die. If according to the above According to the book, the mass production of paper will inevitably pollute the water source, the living things in the water will be poisoned to death, and if there is crop land, it will also suffer from it.”

"Understood." The crown prince nodded. Although his father ordered that the nationwide census had not yet ended, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo had already proved their correctness regarding the matter of pneumoconiosis. Now hearing what they say, it is natural It is also very important.

Afterwards, the two had a lot of conversations. They said they would leave when things got better, but they stayed for two more days.

Three days later, the prince set off, and three more days later, the farmers' fair ended.However, I heard that farmers' trade fairs will also be held in other places, but I just don't know what the result will be.

In June of this year, the census of pneumoconiosis ended.

For the first time, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Dynasty clearly understood the concept of occupational diseases.This small thing, the mask, was also decided by everyone to be the most important thing to publicize—although the number of these people is small compared to the whole country, the current Wei Dynasty is still in a period of population shortage, especially the sick people are middle-aged Labor, once they fall, the whole family is over.In short, it is good to save a person.

In July, the matter of the mutual market should have been settled, but suddenly three urgent reports came from Pingzhou, where King Yong was located, through three different channels.

One copy came from King Yong. He said that the county magistrate of Lvqu County in Pingzhou colluded with the Yanrong people and led the Yanrong people across the pass city from the mountain trails and looted the place.King Yong led the guards of the palace to enter Luqu County and wiped out two thousand enemies, and the magistrate who collaborated with the enemy was also killed in the rebellion.

One from the prefect of Pingzhou, the prefect said that Yong Wang suddenly sent troops into Luqu County, killed the people and the county magistrate, and accused the people of being bandits.

The last one was the governor of Pingzhou. He said that there were Yanrong people outside Pingzhou. They didn't look like ordinary herdsmen, but they looked like the vanguard of the Yanrong people going south.

Immediately, an official opposed to the mutual market jumped out: "Just such jackals, we still have to do business with them?!"

But Taizong immediately slapped it down: "The military situation is urgent! Don't talk about gossip!"

When Emperor Taizong made emergency arrangements with his courtiers, he was also thinking: Luqu County is the county closest to the border town of Pingzhou. If the county magistrate of Luqu County really colluded with the Yanrong people, then there is nothing wrong with Yongwang.But if not, then he did this...why? ?

When the Yanrong people go south, they will definitely not only come to one state. There are feints and main attacks in the frontier fortresses. Anyway, there must be no one.

Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo will also go through the first battle. As county magistrates, they should wear their helmets and armor. All the items in the county government's arsenal have been carried out. Like the old man, he also tied up his clothes tightly, and hung a bow and arrow on his back with a long knife.

Gu Cijiu [I just saw a large army passing by...]

Duan Shaobo [They don't walk through the muddy water, I can't see them, what was the ancient army like? 】

Gu Cijiu【It looks dirty and messy, and the clothes are not uniform.But the spirit is very good, and there is a sturdy feeling at first sight.After all, it is the army of the prosperous age, and it has experienced many battles, so its combat effectiveness should be no problem. 】

Duan Shaobo [It's too unfortunate that the Yanrong people came at this time, just before the autumn harvest, don't miss the autumn harvest, what are they going to do? 】

Gu Cijiu [Unclear, we lack intelligence. 】

The two chatted while handling their official business.It is mainly the mobilization of materials and the deployment of personnel.This is not the first time Huzhou has faced such a big battle. The local gangsters know that they have to be individuals at this time, and those who dare to steal and rob now will be killed without being sent for trial.

As soon as this battle was fought, it entered August, and the autumn harvest was just around the corner.Except for the two counties that fought with the Yanrong people, the other four counties in Huzhou have pulled out young and strong to grab them.

Liangshan County and Ningshui County are no exception. Thanks to the horse-drawn harvester made by Duan Shaobo, although it cannot be harvested by hand, it is fast!When the horse walks through the middle of the field ridge, the two sides will be flattened. It is enough for people to follow behind and pick it up as quickly as possible.

Gu Cijiu was still wearing armor, but no boots. While binding wheat in the field with the farmer, he had to pay attention to nearby movements.

"The smoke is burning! Don't pick it up, get in the car!"

The carriage pulling Maizi came over. The people grew up in the frontier fortress. They knew that if they procrastinated, it would not only kill their own lives, but also hurt others, so they all used the fastest speed or got on the carriage, or Just unhook the harvester from the horse and get on the barebacked horse.

But everyone is still holding a handful of wheat tightly in their hands. The seven-foot man, who doesn't even frown when he bleeds, looks at the field that has just been harvested, but bursts into tears: "Gou Rong! I Your grandma!"

The weather is good this year, and it seems to be a bumper harvest year, but the wheat is ripe, but we can only watch it, not harvest it!

Gu Cijiu led more than a dozen guards on horseback, standing guard at the end.The sluggish horses can't outrun the military horses with their hoofs loose, not to mention the carriages are carrying many people. Seeing a team of more than a hundred Yanrong people rushing over, howling.

The system is screaming [Host, calm down! ! !You are a mortal! 】

Gu Cijiu took off the bow, and the horse was still running under his crotch. He turned around suddenly, stretched the bow to the full moon, and fired three arrows, but it caused four Yanrong people to fall off the horse immediately - the fourth one was really an accident. Who knew they were so close.

Gu Cijiu could see that there was a trace of panic on the faces of the rest of the Yanrong people, and some people pulled the reins.

"..." Gu Cijiu blinked, and without using his hands, he just moved his feet, and the horse turned around by itself, Gu Cijiu drew out the Mo knife from his waist, and shouted: "Kill——!! !!"

Seeing this, the guards with him also turned their horses' heads and screamed, "Kill——!!!!"

The system also screamed [Oh my god! ! ! ! !!!∑(Дノ)ノ Junior Brother!The host is going to die! 】

Duan Shaobo was also leading the people to collect them. He heard the sound from the system just now, and now he heard it again. He obviously stumbled on the ground, but he still calmly said [Senior brother has a measure, it’s okay. 】If something happens to him at this time, the first thing I do when I see him in the rest of my life is to beat him up!

Gu Cijiu led his dozen or so people into the Yanrong team of more than a hundred people!Just now when the Yanrong people saw them rushing, they immediately showed ferocious smiles on their faces, but as soon as the two teams collided, two huge heads of Yanrong people shot up into the sky, and the blood spurting from their cavity poured Gu Say goodbye for a long time!

He used to be Chaos, who devoured countless creatures. He was also a Sword Immortal, and he killed countless demons and ghosts. He was also an actor, playing many domineering, evil, upright and brave roles.But this is the first time for him to taste the collision of flesh and metal, pouring his own body with the blood of the enemy, this is the most primitive killing!

Gu Cijiu drew blood from the corner of his mouth, and there was scalding heat flowing through his body along with the killing. He felt a strange pleasure, which was somewhat similar to when he was with his junior brother, but not quite the same...

The enemy's knife also slashed at his body, and the pain was quickly suppressed by the pleasure, which even made him more excited.

His knife was blunt, so he picked up someone's battered mace at random, but it was actually a rough bronze stick with a circle of thorns wrapped around it. This thing has no advantages other than being powerful and heavy, but to Gu Cijiu In other words, he also has no need other than smashing the enemy's head and chest.

"Kill——!!!" Another group of people rushed out, it was the assembled Xiangyong and some guards from rich families, but...they came a bit late, and they could only watch twenty or thirty Yanrong people follow Like a frightened mouse, it fled in embarrassment.The rest of nearly a hundred people were already lying on the ground.

Gu Cijiu licked his lips again, patted his horse comfortingly, and said with a hoarse smile: "Our horse, has it become a bloody horse now? It's covered in blood."

This joke is too cold to be funny at all...

The system, which was just relieved, also received Gu Cijiu's secret chat [System, you are very lucky, the first world that took me across, I met my junior. 】

System [(o_O) ah?Why did the host say that? 】

Gu Cijiu smiled [Because this kind of killing is also a very beautiful thing, if I have tasted the beauty of killing first, then I will no longer be who I am now. 】

System […] QAQ, shivering... Hey, if I had a bladder, I'd be scared to pee by now!

The author has something to say:

→_→ Gu Cijiu is a good person because he met his junior brother...
