Rujun is in Taiyuan, but not in the government envoy's office, or even in Taiyuan city.
Immigration means farmers are being relocated. Landlords and wealthy households can eat, drink and have fun, and their teeth and health are good every day. To persuade them to immigrate is tantamount to playing the piano to an ox.
These people either have their own consciousness or just ignore them.
So Rujun wisely left the city and went deep into the villages around Taiyuan City, preparing to persuade the people to immigrate voluntarily.
The chief envoy Ding Jingfu was worried and accompanied him personally.
"Sir, the store is in front of you. To the north of the store, there is a Mengshan Village."
Ding Jingfu pointed forward and said.
Ru Ruan saw that Ding Jingfu was pointing to something, which seemed to be an allusion, but after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what this Mengshan Village was.
Seeing that Ru Yu didn't know, Ding Jingfu did not continue to lie, but explained: "Mengshan Village can be said to be the highest point of the store. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Emperor Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty built a summer palace here. From the height Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of Taiyuan City."
Ru Yu frowned slightly and sighed: "That emperor!"
Liu Jiyuan was not a good person. He took refuge in the Khitan and tried to use the power of the Khitan to resist the Song army.
"How many people are there here?"
Ru Yu asked.
Ding Jingfu introduced: "More than 1,300 households."
Ru Yu stood on a high place and looked at the countryside surrounded by mountains. Cave dwellings were lined up in rows, dotted on the hillside in an orderly manner. Ancient locust trees stood tall and leafy.
The entire township runs east-west and stretches for five miles. From a distance, it looks quite impressive. The most extraordinary thing is that there is Jinyang Lake, which is the size of a fish pond, sparkling, quiet and beautiful.
"This is an excellent retreat."
Ru Yu sighed.
Ding Jingfu was shocked, what did Ru Yu mean?
Seclusion?
Could it be that he was thinking of quitting?
Shouldn't it be? It is reported that not long after he was promoted to the cabinet, this extremely human minister wanted to leave the court not long after he had served as an official?
Or is he anticipating the impeachment and criticism from the court and is afraid of it?
Yang Pu glanced at Ding Jingfu, who was thinking a lot, and said to Ru Yu: "Sir, for the people, the mountains and rivers here may not be good."
Rujun suddenly woke up.
Yang Pu is right. When he looks at the mountains and rivers here, he appreciates them and expresses his feelings about the mountains and rivers. When the people look at the mountains and rivers here, they may not have any appreciation.
Maybe they think that the mountains here are too obstructive, and it would be great if they could become plains to cultivate food.
With more mountains and less land, more people and less land, this closed mountain village will only lead to one result:
poverty.
Ru Yu collected her thoughts, walked down the mountain road, and entered the store. It was noon, and some houses were already filled with smoke.
There is no inn in front of the store, but there is a teahouse.
Ding Jingfu sent someone to find the head manager and the chief security officer of the shop, and told the story in the teahouse. He also invited the three eldest people in the shop. Even though these people needed help to walk and had trouble hearing, But he is definitely an important figure in the local area.
In ancient times, unlike later generations, no one would do anything to you whether you listened to the old or not.
But in ancient times, the old man's words were true. He told you to go east, but you really couldn't go west. Their influence is related to filial piety, age and knowledge, and clan ties.
The imperial power of the Ming Dynasty could only

When you go to the county government, you can't go to the townships, and the governance of the townships is completely controlled by the chief of the village, the chief of security (as well as the chief of grain who was deposed by Zhu Yunwen), and the gentry family.
This was one of the main reasons why the imperial court was unable to eradicate the White Lotus Sect.
Rujun is not a fool. He goes from house to house to do work. Even if he were asked to borrow hundreds of years from heaven, he still wouldn't be able to complete such work.
It is not advisable to scratch your beard and eyebrows. When working, you must know how to grasp the core and key points.
Although Rujun didn't know Xiao Ma or Xiao En, she still knew how to deal with the main and secondary conflicts.
The head of the village, Guo Shun, the chief of security, Ning Dong, the old patriarch of the Li family, Li Xun, the ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Wu, and the old man of the Guo family, Guo Youfu, have never seen such officials as the chief envoy and governor. When they heard that Ru Yu was sent by the emperor himself, Those who came quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Ru Yu talked nicely, and after letting a few people sit down, Fang asked: "Are the people living in this store living well? Can ordinary families still have enough to eat?"
Guo Youfu and others looked at each other, wondering what the governor meant.
They were all smart people and knew what Ru Yu's purpose was for coming here. After all, the store was right on the edge of Taiyuan City. No matter how isolated they were, they heard the news that the imperial court had immigrated to Shanxi with 500,000 yuan.
Since you, Rujun, are here to do things, just do it directly, ask for help, or play emotional cards. We are old people, not young people. We are willing to go through fire and water after you ask a few questions.
But the governor asked, "I have to go back."
As the head of a large family in the store, Guo Youfu had no choice but to apologize and said: "To return to my words, although the store is crowded and the space is small, fortunately, the weather has been good over the past few years, so I am not hungry yet."
Ru Yu took the tea bowl handed over by Yang Pu, opened the lid, blew gently, and said, "Is that so? I don't think so."
"this……"
Guo Youfu was a little panicked.
Could it be said that Rujun visited every house?
Ru Yu only took one look at Guo Youfu's expression and understood it clearly, and said: "Since everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush. There are many people in the store who have problems with food and clothing. The Chief Minister The Yamen knows it, and so do you. Now that the opportunity is before you, you still need to think carefully about whether you can cherish it."
Liu Wu coughed twice, and after his breathing calmed down, he asked Ru Yu: "What opportunity is the opportunity you are talking about?"
Seeing that these people were pretending to be confused, Rujun said seriously: "They are immigrants, moving to Henan, Beizhili and other places."
Guo Youfu shook his white beard and said: "Immigrate? Are you going to Beizhili? Sir, it's not that we are unwilling to cooperate with the court, it's just that there is no need at all."
Liu Wu also quickly cooperated: "Yes, we finally got a family business here, and now the court wants to immigrate again, we really can't give up."
Rujun understood the concerns of these people, but they thought that they came here to move big households like them out, so they became resistant. It seems that they still need to explain clearly...
Just when Ru Rui wanted to elaborate, Yang Pu made a gesture to Ru Rui, and Ru Rui pretended to be sulky and stopped talking.
Yang Pu came out and said to several old people: "When the imperial court immigrated to Shanxi, do you know who the opportunity is for? Those people who don't have enough to eat? Yes, this is their chance to survive, but have you ever thought about it? The imperial court’s greatest opportunity is for you, and it is an immigration policy that was thought up for your sake!”
"ah?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention those old people, even Ru Yu, Ding Jingfu and others were stunned. As expected, this Yang Pu would never stop dying without making any surprises.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Which song is this from?
Yang Pu looked at these old people sternly and said in a low and pitiful voice: "Have you ever thought about it, if the imperial court does not immigrate to Shanxi anymore, in less than twenty years, all the rich people like you will die without a burial place."
"This, why is this?"
Guo Youfu and others panicked.
Yang Pu sighed and asked, "Twenty years ago, how many households were there in this store?"
Li Xun thought about it and said, "Twenty years ago, this store was relatively sparsely populated, with only about five hundred households."
Yang Pu nodded heavily and looked at Guo Shun: "How many households are there in this store now? Chief Guo should know very well, right?"
Guo Shun nodded quickly and replied: "There are one thousand, three hundred and twenty-one households."
Yang Pu took a deep breath and sighed: "In the past twenty years, more than 800 households have been added. I dare to ask the elders, how many households will there be in this store in another twenty years?"
Guo Youfu's expression changed, he calculated it with both hands, and simply added it back to 2,100 households. However, Liu Wuyi refuted it and said that it was at least 3,000 households.
Looking at the three people arguing, Yang Pu said in a deep voice: "You are both wrong. It is not more than two thousand households, nor is it three thousand households. In my opinion, in another twenty years, this store will only have more than one hundred households." households, or even just dozens of households!”
"how so?"
Guo Youfu was shocked, and Liu Wu and Li Xun were also full of doubts.
Yang Pu looked at the three of them indifferently, shook his head and said: "You have to know that there is only a small amount of land in front of this store. In the past, 500 households were divided into these lands, and now 1,300 households are divided into these lands. In a few decades, , the land will definitely not be able to feed everyone. At that time, for the sake of land and survival, who do you think the people will ask for land? Will they dig up mountains, fill lakes, or ask big households like you for land?!"
Guo Youfu and others fell into fear. Although they had not experienced the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they had heard that the people picked up hoes and bricks and rebelled because they had no land and no food to eat. Overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, killing batches of wealthy landlords, and then... they became the new wealthy households and landlords.
What the people in front of you say may not necessarily be big words to scare people. The population is expanding very quickly.
When it gets dark, there are no entertainment activities at night. Apart from Nuwa's sports, every household seems to have no other choice. There is no mahjong pai gow or open-air cinema. They can't afford to light candles. They can still do it without slandering the birth of more babies. Well?
If you have one child in a family, you will definitely be looked down upon and you will not be able to hold your head high. If you have two children, you can only be considered normal. If you have three children, you are okay. If you don’t have five or eight children, you will be embarrassed. There are many thirteen aunts in this era.
That person is also aggrieved. You can't blame me for having more babies. You can't fall asleep if you don't do something at night. It's easier to do something. So what can you do? Without the supporting equipment of a family planning office, we can only live like this.
As for whether you can survive or not, that depends on fate.
If you really can't live anymore, there are ways to do it, such as herding cattle for the landlord's family, going to the temple to be a monk, and going out to beg for food. If that doesn't work, you can still join the rebel army...
It is a traditional concept to have more children, raise children to provide for old age, and have a full house of descendants. Having more children means happiness.
Because of this, this store is likely to be "broken" by these people. People who can't afford to eat will definitely go to their own fields to ask for food. If they don't give it, there will be chaos...
So, is Shanxi immigration really a policy that the emperor came up with to prevent us wealthy households from being robbed by these idiots?
For the sake of the future, we must cooperate with the court and drive away those mud-legged people!
