"Healthy women, the old and the weak are also laborers after all, so don't be dissatisfied. At least they are full of hope and rarely slack off after eating. They work hard every day. They have tried their best." Wang Miao said for these old people. The weak said something fair.
When Ji heard this, he sat down, nodded and took out a wine bottle for himself. Before taking out the wine bottle, he secretly looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then drank the spiritual wine in small sips: " Of course I know, so I just said a few words."
"Before I came here, I was also a lord, and I inspected my own fiefdom more than once. I also know what kind of life the savages live. Although the life now is very hard, at least I can eat enough and I am full of hope. , As long as you work to death, you will definitely starve to death. Days like this can already be called a prosperous age in most places!"
The scene of working hard and not starving to death can only be seen in the current era in a very few places where the politics are clear and the rulers or monarchs or lords care about the lives of the people under their rule.
And Yancheng right now is such a place.
That's why Jiang Ju and Qi Xin said last year that Yancheng has reached the age of great harmony in some aspects. Although this may be the most elementary and primitive level of great harmony, it is moving towards the age of great harmony.
Anyone who is not blind knows this. Therefore, even though Yancheng today has various problems in the eyes of many people, as long as this Taoist has a dream of creating a world of great harmony in his heart, then this Taoist will not say anything.
In today's world, different Taoists have different views on what the world of Great Harmony looks like.
Li Sheng, Kong Sheng, and Mo Sheng are just the leaders of the three biggest opinions, but the three of them also have various other opinions.
Kong Sheng was not as powerful as he is now. When he was just a first-generation monarch and a Xiantian, he once governed the state of Lu. However, he failed not long after.
Although Confucius's disciples have been cleaning up the land for him, political ability is something that is always there. Strong is strong and weak is weak. No matter how Confucius's disciples clean up the land or how much they praise Confucius at that time, they cannot change Confucius. The fact that Saint was eventually expelled.
If Kong Sheng was not the number one master in the Lu Kingdom at that time, it is hard to say whether Kong Sheng was expelled or tricked to death.
Since then, the Taoists have gradually become clear about one thing: their cultivation ability and their ability to govern a country seem to be two completely different things!
"So, I plan to help Yancheng." Ji said directly.
Wang Miao lowered his head and asked curiously: "Help? How do you plan to help? Are you planning to leave the academy and become a Taoist official in the combat series?"
In Yancheng today, after most Taoists from other countries come, they end up joining the academy, becoming a doctor or a priest, and then find like-minded people, start a project together, and then continue to work around this project. s hard work.
Relatively speaking, there are far fewer people who directly join the Daofa team to take charge of combat. Most of them are mainly doctors and Taoist priests. There are very few ministers and Taoist priests who directly join the fighting team.
"Brother, haven't you joined a long time ago? Why, I want to join, and you still object?"
"I, of course I don't object, but I think it's a bit wasteful with your ability to fight and kill on the battlefield."
"Like me, after the Fangfeng clan, I have achieved great success in the water element, and recently I have also achieved the wind element. So after discussing with me, the lord decided not to let me be responsible for fighting."
Having said this, Wang Miao looked to the east of Dongning Island, where the sun had just risen.
"The Lord has given me a more important task. It is somewhat related to fighting, but it is not directly fighting people. It is also a very important task. For me, this task is also very challenging. However, this task But it’s very meaningful, and I plan to work hard to complete it.”
"Right now, I am still communicating and designing this task with my lord. My lord is also full of confidence. The war has begun, but he is still focusing on the new task. Although the new task is also very important, it shows that the lord is indeed So confident!”
Hearing this, Ji became even more curious: "So, what is your new mission? Tell me about it?"
Wang Miao laughed a few times: "The matter started a few days ago."
Having said this, Wang Miao began to recall the past, going back to a few days ago, the day before spring plowing began:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you still used to it after being here in Yancheng for so long?"
"Habit, get used to it. I'm used to eating and living here. There's nothing I'm not used to. After all, I was born as a savage and suffered a lot when I was young. Now I can at least have enough food and clothing every day in Yancheng. The most important thing is The only thing is, if we have enough dried fish! If we have enough salted fish, this kind of life is actually very good.”
Looking at the smile on Wang Miao's face, Jiang Hua knew that this was a Qi practitioner who really didn't feel that he was superior to others.
Jiang Hua likes this kind of Qi practitioner very much.
As for those Qi practitioners who feel they are superior to others, Jiang Hua also likes them as long as they are willing to be loyal to Yancheng.
As for the issue of mentality, I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions, so we won’t force it for now and seek common ground while reserving differences.
As a ruler, what you need is to know people well and assign them well.
If a Qi practitioner feels that he is superior to others, then he should not be responsible for things related to the people at the bottom, but let him be responsible for the things he is good at.
This is what a ruler should do, to know people well and assign them well. In this aspect, we must learn more from Liu Bang.
Jiang Hua nodded: "There are not enough other things in Yancheng, but this dried fish, salted fish and fish floss are really enough!"
What is the most abundant thing in the sea?
In addition to sea water, there are marine fish, kelp and other seafood.
The value of sea salt goes without saying. Yancheng has relied on the sea for eight hundred years, and its main food is sea salt and salted fish.
At that time, Yancheng's salted fish was a hard currency throughout the five eastern counties, and could be used directly as private salt.
After opening up Dongning Island, Jiang Hua organized some warlocks who understood the true meaning of water to be responsible for fishing. There is no need to deliberately catch the big fish that have become fine fish, just focus on the ordinary fish in the sea.
These fleets often catch tens of thousands of kilograms of marine fish directly with a single spell by water magicians. Every time they return from overseas, they can bring at least tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand kilograms of marine fish with them.
The next step is to organize manpower to quickly make these sea fish into salted fish, otherwise they will spoil and rot over time.
It doesn't take too many warlocks and Taoist priests to catch hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sea fish every day.
Especially after becoming proficient, a well-coordinated Taoist team plus a fleet of ships will reap astonishing gains every day.
Today, several small ports have been specially built on Dongning Island for these fishing teams to rest. There are basic salted fish factories built near every port, and a large number of old and weak people make salted fish in these factories every day.
There is not much else in Yancheng today, but Xianyu really has enough!
Just take care of the sea salt!
Many Chinese people no longer eat sea fish after the initial enthusiasm. They eat it every day. At the beginning, they were very interested and curious, eating more than ten kilograms a day, but later they got tired of it. Now Eat only occasionally.
But for many savages, even if they are tired of eating, they are much happier than not eating at all. They are not picky eaters at all.
"Indeed, there are too many fish in the sea, and the weight of sea monsters is much heavier than that of monsters on land."
"An ordinary goblin on land may only weigh a few hundred kilograms, a small demon only weighs a few thousand kilograms, and a large demon weighs tens of thousands of kilograms."
"But in this sea, not to mention monsters weighing several thousand kilograms, monsters weighing tens of thousands kilograms can be seen everywhere, and big monsters weighing millions kilograms are everywhere. Last month, I accidentally killed a sea monster The corpse of this big monster weighed more than three million kilograms. Except for a few places that are of great research value, I sold the rest. Fortunately, the most lacking thing in Yancheng nowadays is rich people. Otherwise, I don’t know when it will be sold yet.”
Ordinary meat, if it's pork, only costs ten yuan a pound. The price of monster meat starts at a hundred dollars per pound. The meat of the big demon starts at a thousand dollars per pound. Although the meat quality and various values of the meat of the sea monster are not as good as those of the big monster on land, so it is cheaper, but it can still be sold for three hundred yuan per catty.
Wang Miao sold the monster that weighed more than three million kilograms for one billion yuan!
This is the first time Wang Miao has seen so much money in all his years!
Since then, Wang Miao's love for Yancheng has grown to a new level, and he applied to join the Taofa team, which specializes in combat, without saying a word.
However, the billion money did not stay in Wang Miao's hands for long.
First of all, when I got it, one billion yuan was exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of gold sand. This is to prevent a run on too many copper coins at once and affect the normal life and transactions of ordinary people.
Secondly, not long after receiving it, Wang Miao spent 90,000 taels of gold sand to purchase various magical weapons and magic weapons that he liked.
The money is not spent at all!
However, since then, Wang Miao has made a habit of catching sea monsters.
Ordinary people cannot catch the sea monster in the sea. The sea monster controls the ocean currents in the depths of the sea and is extremely powerful in the depths of the sea. Ordinary Taoist priests cannot catch it without careful preparation!
Seeing Wang Miao's happy expression, Jiang Hua nodded silently in his heart: What Yancheng likes most is this kind of simple Taoist.
Many Taoists like to seek Taoism, engage in research, and enjoy various Taoist and magical powers. This is normal. If you just like these things, you will be silently labeled as a simple seeker by Yancheng.
Most of these seekers are easy to deal with, relatively easy to satisfy, and easy to communicate with. In a sense, they are all relatively pure.
Pure seekers are welcome and liked in Yancheng.
But some Taoists are both good and fun-loving!
Although my ability to govern a party is completely zero, it is not very good at all. However, I always have the desire to be a prefect in my heart. Even the county magistrates think that he is too small and look down on him!
What I like most is to give pointers: If I were in a certain position, I would definitely do it...
I can fuck me too!
Then whoever sees it won’t do it!
Some people are just enjoying the pleasure of talking, but some people are serious. They seriously make suggestions to Yancheng and the prefect's mansion.
If these guys who make suggestions have no cultivation base, then just treat their suggestions as waste paper and throw them away. But they have strong cultivation and adhere to their personal ideals. They always feel that they are right. Facing this kind of guy, the Prefecture has a headache. Jun Chengyu started to lose his hair because of this.
Finally, Jiang Hua made a suggestion: He directly suggested that they go to a certain township or village, let them seal their magic power, and try to be the township chief or village chief for a few days without relying on their own strength. Even if any bad consequences were caused, with their cultivation, they would be able to afford compensation in the future.
At present, some people are really ready to agree, but they don’t know what the future outcome will be like.
After thinking about those guys and looking at Wang Miao in front of him, Jiang Hua became even more satisfied.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, the thing is like this. There is a task that suits you very well. This task is very important to Dongning Island. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is the most suitable candidate."
"Oh? Just ask for the grand ceremony. As long as I can do it, I will try my best." While speaking, Wang Miao also patted his chest vigorously. It can be seen that he is really sincere. It can also be seen that he really has no city.
Also, the Fangfeng clan didn't have much of a city back then, otherwise, they wouldn't have been treated as a typical example by Dayu and executed...
"Now that Dongning Island has developed five counties, the entire Dongning Island will definitely be included in the territory of Yancheng in the future. But now, Dongning Island has ocean currents and strong winds every year. There are often tides, heavy rains, and floods. , strong winds are coming, and every kind of weather will seriously affect the entire Dongning Island."
"Especially in agriculture, it is deeply affected. If during the harvest, a strong wind suddenly occurs that sweeps across the entire Dongning Island and even the nearby seas, it will be a disaster!"
"In the past, when faced with natural disasters of this scale, one would either directly cast spells to forcefully interrupt the natural disaster, or simply accept one's fate and run away early. People would be considered lucky if nothing happened."
"But now that we Taoists are here, natural disasters must also bow to us. Otherwise, how can Taoism enter our lives?"
"Over the past few days, I have also observed some hydrological and weather data. Overall, it is very lacking. These past data cannot provide much effective reference."
"Taking into account your special bloodline and your cultivation, fellow Taoist, I plan to establish a specialized astronomical and hydrological institution."
"This organization is first responsible for studying the changes in ocean currents and tides, changes in water energy, wind energy, and strong winds within a three thousand mile radius of Dongning Island."
"For example, when a strong wind rises, what are the characteristics of the surrounding wind energy? What changes occur? If you want to destroy the strong wind, which part of the energy structure is more troublesome to directly destroy?"
"When a tide rises, what happens to the water's vitality? Can we find the pattern between the water's vitality and the changes in tides?"
"In addition, should we have a simple, clear and clear set of weights and measures to define and describe different levels of wind and tide? This also needs to be studied slowly by fellow Taoists."
"When one day we can find the specific rules, that's when we can control the destiny and use it!"
