No official would risk losing his or her job.
Of course, there are also some die-hards, but these people had already become the chickens to scare the monkeys when they were taken over to the county.
"Thank you, Master Jun!"
"You guys should rest here for a while. If you want to eat, buy it yourself. If you don't have money, there is porridge over there, it's free."
In an instant, a large number of people who had just come in and those who came in behind were stunned.
You can say you don't understand other words, but who can't understand the word "free"?
"Is there anything you can eat for free?"
The soldier pointed to the counter in the corner.
"It's free over there."
"Hoola!" shouted.
Dozens of people from Guizhou Capital ran over. Judging from the clothes of these people, it was clear that they were not from Yuntong County.
Despite his age, the old man ran faster than anyone else. When he saw a young man running ahead, he placed a cane on his foot.
The young man jumped to his feet instantly, covering his feet, feeling shocked and in pain, his face full of anger.
"Master Jun, the porridge here is free of charge, right?"
The old man said immediately.
The soldier nodded and limped to the counter. "Three kinds of porridge, white rice porridge is ten yuan a bowl, corn porridge is three yuan a bowl. The free one is multigrain porridge with yellow rice and some corn. Which one do you want to eat?"
"Multigrain porridge."
"I also want."
"Ah, bastard, this is my bowl, don't grab it."
Dozens of people started making noise instantly, making the already irritable environment even more messy.
"Asshole!"
At this time, there was a loud roar, with a killing atmosphere.
The soldier making porridge looked at all the people with a gloomy face.
"Everyone, line up for me. If you don't line up, make random noises, and disrupt the order, get out of here. Those who make trouble will be punished with two years of hard labor as a slave priest!"
For an instant, everyone looked at the soldiers in confusion. In just a few breaths, they lined up.
"Hahaha, my mother-in-law gave birth to two children for me, a boy and a girl!"
A soldier ran in with a flushed face.
The soldier on the counter put a cloth band around one eye and took out a jar of millet wine with a smile on his face.
"Here, I'll treat you to a drink. Congratulations."
The soldier came to the counter and saw the school officer, lieutenant and Quhou beside him. He immediately raised his hands to them. After several people nodded, he sat on the counter, picked up the wine jar and drank a few gulps.
"Awesome, two at a time."
"Hey kid, how many kids have you had?"
The soldier took another two sips and said with a smile, "This is the fifth one."
Someone gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, ten acres of land have been paid for."
.........
Almost everyone was talking about the future and interesting things that happened in the army. Some people used a more exaggerated tone to talk about the rare and strange things in the five counties of Liaodong in front of their companions.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious and lively, and various dialects were constantly flying around, which made some people’s brains hurt just listening to it.
There are also some people who talk in elegant language, and you can tell at a glance that they come from a good family and are sent here for training.
Lian Angxiong sighed melancholy.
In this place, he seemed to see hope. Every soldier and general seemed to have a light shining on him.
In Shangguo, although the people of Shangguo were brave and worked hard without complaint, their expressions were numb and they did not have the slightest desire for the future.
He used to think that tenant farmers were just tools. Almost all scholar-bureaucrats would treat tenant farmers nice and pleasantly on the surface. Only some idiots would treat tenant farmers badly.
But in their hearts, Zhongzhong feels that they are the bottom people, although they are indeed the bottom people.
Lian Angxiong now deeply understood what Wei Wenxin said at that time.
"The common people are the cornerstone. Only the common people can support a glorious era. The king and the scholar-bureaucrats are just fruits on a big tree. Only when the big tree has enough nutrients can the big tree thrive and the fruit become sweeter."
Today he finally understood it. When he finally understood it, he realized that the image of Wu Anjun in his mind had grown taller again, exuding a light that made people unable to open their eyes.
The pattern of looking up like a high mountain couldn't help but give me a feeling of admiration and reverence. This was an instinct. Even Lian Angxiong didn't know why he was like this.
"Why is the porridge here free?"
Lian Fu looked at the people from Tianshou Division, full of curiosity at this time.
Unlike Lian Angxiong who communicates outside every day, Lian Fu is almost a homebody. He has his wife and children on the hot bed every day, plus nibbling on the elderly. However, he has plenty of money, so it is not bad to nibble on the elderly for the rest of his life.
If he really used this body to serve as a soldier, Lian Angxiong would have to slap him with a big-eared scraper. What would he do if his son died? Others didn't know his son's physical fitness, so didn't he know? He is not a military commander.
Yes, the commander-in-chief does not need to charge into battle, but is it really okay to go out to fight and be weak? Save it, you are tired of traveling and traveling, your health is not good, you have to travel a long distance, and if you are unlucky, you will die on the way.
The leader of Tianshou Division said expressionlessly.
"We are in the north, and the rice production is small, so the price is naturally high."
“Corn is our staple food here and the price is moderate.”
"As for the free porridge you mentioned, that's because yellow rice is not valuable and the yield of corn is very high, so the price will naturally come down. This will also facilitate the migration of some people who have no land in Guizhou."
There is a certain reason why Wu Anjun asked ten people to serve as Lian Angxiong's followers. Firstly, they can be trained, secondly, they can serve as guides, and finally they can also play a supervisory role.
Lian Angxiong is already a prince. If he asks some idiotic questions, he will be ridiculed by his subordinates, which will damage his image.
Do you think you can promote people casually? If one choice is not good, if it is a problem with his own vision, then Yang Qian will not be able to escape the consequences of not knowing people well.
Although no one will speak against him, it will also damage his prestige. This is why when the emperor does something wrong, someone needs to take the blame.
Yang Qian has now reached a position where he needs someone to be blamed. Of course, there will also be emperors who will give him an edict.
How to say this, there must be an appropriate time. The Sinner's Edict is a point where people in the world can effectively vent their grievances.
Some people will say, you see the emperor has given in, so let’s forget about our grievances, but the Sinner’s Edict is a trump card and must not be played easily.
"Give me free land, ten acres. That's ten acres of land for one person. Five acres is not even a fraction."
You should know that normal tenant farmers do not have land of their own. Some small farmers only have a few acres of thin farmland at most.
When he was in Shangguo, Lian Fu was responsible for collecting rent and leasing the land in the Lian Mansion. His concept of land was much better than his father's.
"The land belongs to the state and is leased to tenant farmers for a period of 20 years. As long as no criminals are committed, the lease can still be renewed after 20 years. The land will only be recovered when the person dies."
Lian Fu nodded and chewed these words carefully. As a noble, this distribution method is very unfair.
"Then why is there a field reward for giving birth to a child?"
"Your Majesty's rule is that the more children you have, the more land you will be given. It starts with eight years, then 16 years, 32 years, etc. according to different regulations."
Lian Fu was stunned.
How on earth does Lord Wu An have such a big brain? He is so awesome. If this happens, the population of Xia Kingdom will inevitably increase dramatically.
"Wu Anjun is indeed awesome, I admire you!"
"By the way, is it cold over there?"
This is Lian Fu's biggest concern. After all, their home country is in the Central Plains, with a warm and rainy climate, but it is Xuantu County, which is colder than Yuntong County.
"It's very cold, but Xinping-kun's mansion has a state-of-the-art heater, so it will be as warm as spring inside the house."
Not long after, Yi Cheng walked in and raised his hands to the leader of Tianshou Division.
"My lord, Xinping-kun's carriage is ready and can set off at any time."
"Is the ice mirror ready?"
"It's done."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It should."
The leader of Tianshousi brought a large family to the starting station. They saw a strange carriage parked on two railway tracks, with two horses in front and almost no wheels visible.
Two women from the Amagari Division accompanied a large family, and the rest of the Amagari Division members were sitting in another car.
"Are you guys ready?"
"alright!"
"Snapped!"
As soon as the riding whip was fired, a powerful pushing sensation came across his back. Fortunately, he was told to hold on to the handrails firmly. In just a dozen breaths, the carriage began to accelerate.
Lian Angxiong's family was stunned.
The two father and son stretched out their heads outside the window. The wind howled, blowing their hair in random directions.
The two children also scrambled to lie on the window frame, looking out with curiosity at the scene of rapid retreat.
"Dad, eldest father, look, the woods are running backwards!"
"Hahaha, the wind is so comfortable, but it's a little hot!"
The two children were chirping and it immediately became lively.
The matter of the track was already a rumored matter in the Academy of the Three Services, and he heard it every day with his ears ringing.
But when I tried it for the first time, I was dumbfounded. It felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.
He asked as he looked at the two Amagari women with confused eyes.
"This, this is the track?"
The ordinary-looking woman from Amagari Division said, "Yes."
"How fast can it be?"
"One day is only a little over a hundred miles, but if you run continuously for 12 hours, you can cover two to three hundred miles."
Lian Angxiong waved his hand and said, "Impossible, even the horses can't bear it, and don't we need to eat?"
"Every thirty miles, we will stop at the next station, change horses and start running again. Just keep running like this, and the speed can be said to be hundreds of miles a day."
"So, if you have to go out, you can only solve it when you arrive at the station. If it is an urgent matter or cargo, 12 hours will be no problem."
Lian Angxiong took a breath of cold air. The army that marched hundreds of miles a day was already the best among the elite, but marching two to three hundred miles a day was beyond human power.
After all, a human being needs to take a breath, and an army that travels hundreds of miles a day needs to rest, eat, and poop.
"Who, on earth, came up with this? It's so ingenious!"
