Under Jiang Tuo's encouragement and guidance, the vigorous infrastructure construction of Longxi County began.
Many wealthy families have said that we mainly contribute to Longxi County and are not interested in money or official positions.
Those young wealthy children were more motivated. Under the leadership of Jiang Tuo, they took their servants into construction work. Of course, they had insufficient servants at home, so they had to recruit people and use the grain, gold and silver stored at home to provide food and shelter for the people.
For a time, Longxi County was in full swing, and everyone, including wealthy families, common people, and merchants, were busy.
"No matter how poor Longxi County is, it can't stop our determination to build! No matter how cold the wind and frost in Longxi County are, it can't dampen our enthusiasm for labor!" A young man with ambitions gave a speech. He organized a labor team of tens of thousands of people. , devote yourself to where Shu Han needs it most.
This is the busiest time for the children of the wealthy family. Not only do they have to play with Jiang Tuo, they also have to supervise various construction works.
Jiang Tuo expressed strong appreciation for their actions and emphasized that you are all talents from Longxi County, and the construction of Longxi County is a long-term plan related to the well-being of the people and the future of Longxi.
We should put infrastructure construction in a prominent position and strive to build a beautiful Longxi County.
In fact, Jiang Tuo not only carried out large-scale construction projects, but also held many activities, such as Cuju juggling competitions and hunting competitions. These activities aroused heated discussions and powerful people participated one after another. There are also those poor people who get a good job because of it.
Jiang Tuo believes that the conduct of these activities has enriched people's lives and improved their quality.
Of course, Jiang Tuo also paid a high price. In recent times, many important official positions have been sealed off.
Now, the children of those wealthy families have produced eight special officials, five county magistrates, and more than a dozen chief registrants.
If this continues, don't drive around, the county magistrate is no better than a dog.
Nowadays, the titles of greetings for the children of wealthy families have changed. They have been changed to "Biejia", "Eunuch" and so on.
Are you a prefect? Sorry, I am also a prefect!
Everyone is a governor.
You Chu has been in a very bad mood recently. It's really tiring to see Jiang Tuo doing random things but he can't stop him.
If official positions could be bought and sold at will, and whoever paid the higher price would have a higher official position, wouldn't everything in Longxi County be in chaos?
Who will govern with their heart?
Although You Chu vaguely felt that perhaps Jiang Tuo wanted to rely on the power of the wealthy family to build Longxi County, improve the environment of Longxi County, and get the people's lives back on track as soon as possible.
But such behavior is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
Because can those wealthy families tolerate being deceived?
Jiang Tuo's words and deeds represent the Shu Han court. If Jiang Tuo cannot fulfill his promise, then in the eyes of the wealthy family, the Shu Han regime will not be trustworthy.
After much thought, You Chu stopped Jiang Tuo and bowed down: "Sir, if you continue like this, the officials will inevitably become corrupt, the soldiers will have no intention of fighting, the common people will have no way to be promoted, and the powerful will dominate..."
You Chu almost shouted into Jiang Tuo's ear that Longxi County was going to be doomed!
Jiang Tuo didn't mind, and spread his hands and said: "What's wrong with me? You asked me to win over the wealthy people, how effective was my win over? You asked me to settle the common people, and now the common people have work and food to eat, isn't that good? "
You Chu took a deep breath and reminded: "It is impossible to fill the appetite of the wealthy family. Your Excellency has promised them so many conditions. If it cannot be realized in the end, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Even if your Excellency really fulfills his promise, the wealthy family will grow into a behemoth, and they will become greedy. They will extend their hands everywhere to expand their own interests."
"This is for immediate profit, regardless of the life and death of the people!"
You Chu said a lot in one breath. His political policy was relatively moderate, but Jiang Tuo's behavior seemed to him too violent and rough. It is simply for the sake of political achievements, desperate to win over wealthy families.
Jiang Tuo rubbed his chin and grinned: "You Chu, do you compare me to Qin Shihuang? Am I that great?"
You Chu's old face darkened again, you deserve it!
Jiang Tuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "What do you know? These are all wise men. What's wrong with letting them serve as officials? Don't try to persuade me anymore. How are the political affairs in Longxi County being handled?"
You Chu's face darkened, and Jiang Tuo simply became a hands-off shopkeeper and turned a blind eye to the political affairs of Longxi County. If he hadn't worked hard day and night, Longxi County's government affairs would have turned into a mess!
Several times, he wanted to burn the memorials directly.
Then he shouted, I quit!
But then he thought, the people are important, the people are important!
He still couldn't rest assured that the people of Longxi County were innocent.
If we talk about the moral level alone, Zhuge Liang is ten times as good as You Chu, and You Chu is a hundred times as good as Jiang Tuo!
"Thanks to my lord, the political affairs in Longxi have not been paralyzed yet."
"Then just manage the political affairs well and don't worry about other things!" Jiang Tuo waved his hand and said, "I will have something to do later. Someone has made an appointment with me to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion tonight to discuss important matters."
You Chu sneered and said, "Do you have something to do every day, sir?"
"Yes, I am busy every day. Hunting, archery, eating, watching beauties dancing... these things have to be done by myself. If you have never enjoyed yourself, you don't know how painful it is and how harmful it is to the body. But who will let me I am the governor, so I should shoulder such an important responsibility!"
Jiang Tuo's image as a traitorous official suddenly came to his mind.
You Chu trembled and said sarcastically: "Then just keep busy, sir. I hope Longxi County will not perish in your hands."
After Jiang Tuo left, Lu Qing looked at the disappointed You Chu, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and comforted him: "Master You, you don't have to worry too much. The things you did... must be in your heart."
You Chu looked at Lu Qing. He knew that this was Jiang Tuo's guard captain and that he was highly skilled in martial arts, but the two of them had never talked or understood each other.
"Does it matter? Doing such a thing is also called knowing it in your heart?"
Lu Qing shook his head and advised: "Master You, you can go out and have a look. Those wealthy families use gold, silver and food to hire people to work. And the people can also get wages and food to survive this cold winter smoothly. This is not merit. ?"
"There are also facilities in our city, the city walls are being repaired, houses are being built, and the roads, wells, and bridges outside the city are also under construction. It won't take long before the facilities in Longxi County will look brand new."
You Chu said disdainfully: "This is just drinking poison to quench thirst. Once the wealthy families are opened, they will put themselves above the common people and embezzle national assets. All these hard-working things are to make wedding clothes for them. "
"Don't worry." Lu Qing smiled lightly and said, "Master Jiang will not let those wealthy families grow."
"Huh? Does he have any countermeasures?" You Chu hesitated.
"have no idea."
"Then why do you say that?"
"Because my lord, he hates the landlords and powerful people the most in his life, and wishes to kill them all. He has said more than once that if the powerful people are allowed to become bigger and stronger, then our nation will be in danger."
"Then why did he win over these wealthy families?"
"Because the wealthy family has value." Lu Qing chuckled and said, "If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy."
