Pingjiang is modern Suzhou. Pingjiang is rich and inseparable from its climate. Lin Yuan learned it when he was studying geography. Suzhou has four distinct seasons, abundant rainfall, grows rice, wheat and rapeseed, produces cotton, sericulture, forest fruit, Suzhou There are also many famous specialties—Chengyang Lake hairy crabs, etc., which are marked with a subtropical monsoon oceanic climate.
In the Song Dynasty, Fan Dacheng once left a letter saying: "The spring is warm and the flowers are fragrant, and the year is healthy. There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below."
The Tang Dynasty poet also said: "People say you are from the south of the Yangtze River, and I say you are from the sky."
When Lin Yuan saw Pingjiang's granary, he realized that these praises were not exaggerated.
The abundance of the granary in Pingjiang is extremely rare. In other cities and prefectures, the grain and grass are all old grain. The officials have to fish for oil and water. New grain will not be put into the granary. I have also seen a place where the granary is full of moldy grains. It has been stored there for more than ten years. Let alone eating it, it can turn into slightly coarser sand when rubbed.
Aren't the former high-ranking officials in Pingjiang not greedy
Nature is also greedy.
But no matter how greedy they are, Pingjiang's granary will always be full. Although there is old grain in it, there is also a lot of new grain.
Probably because of the good climate, the rice grown in Pingjiang is full of grains after husking, and fragrant after cooking.
After the wheat is milled, the noodles are more chewy.
Lin Yuan is now holding a bowl of rice in his hand, the white rice is accompanied by a boiled fish, and he eats to his heart's content.
He has been here for so long, and he has never been very particular about eating. There are too many things every day, just like in the third year of high school. He is so busy that his feet are not touching the ground. He was only one year in the third year of high school, but he went through a high-pressure life for several years.
Chen Bosong just came back to fight, the two sat at the table to eat, Lin Yuan drank a sip of chicken soup, and leaned back on the chair full. I ordered eight bowls of white rice, and I was ready to refill it.
Even Lin Yuan, a man who had experienced a long body stage, felt that his appetite was too much.
After all, the bowl is not small.
He wondered: "You eat so much, where did you eat?"
I haven't seen Chen Bosong getting fat, but his muscles are getting stronger.
Chen Bosong put down the bowl and chopsticks, he just ate the last chopstick fish.
Chen Bosong doesn't know how to spit thorns, and somehow he learned a new way to eat fish, chew the fish and rice together, swallow the thorns together, and take another bite of rice without chewing, just swallow it hard, and the fishbone won't get stuck. Throat.
Lin Yuan looked terrified, afraid that Chen Baisong would be choked to death in the next second.
Chen Baisong's sitting posture is better than Lin Yuan's. He is stronger than Lin Yuan. His back is straight. He looks very imposing. Grandma.
People are going to change.
Lin Yuan forgot where he had heard the words, but now that he thinks about it, he thinks it makes sense.
"Nothing is constant in this world, the only constant is change."
Chen Bosong said: "I always feel that I can't eat enough."
Lin Yuan: "How did you eat during the march?"
Chen Bosong thought for a while: "Dry food is enough."
The dry food that Chen Bosong said was actually miscellaneous noodles. Because he was afraid of spoiling, he made it very durable and hard. Lin Yuan tried it once, but he could only bite in small bites, but he couldn't bite at all. If he could burn some Hot water, put the dry biscuits in and cook for a while, it's better, but it doesn't taste much, it can only fill the stomach.
The soldiers marched, and they could eat meat after winning battles. The meat was bacon and sausages, which were not easy to spoil. In addition, Lin Yuan had salt in his hands, so there was no need to worry about the salt. It will start to stink, and it is impossible to march with ice.
"I make people think about it." Lin Yuan stood up, and Chen Bosong followed behind Lin Yuan.
The two were eating in the corridor. The flowers and plants in Pingjiang were better than those in Gaoyou. The flowers in the yard were in good spirits. They didn’t need to be taken care of. When he was tired, Lin Yuan had something in his heart, and Chen Bosong was not too talkative, so he just walked quietly.
"It's enough to keep 50,000 soldiers in Pingjiang." Lin Yuan said to Chen Bosong, "If you take out the rest, you should still be in the old business."
Chen Baisong didn't ask any questions—he was most in Lin Yuan's mind. When Lin Yuan issued an order, Chen Baisong would execute it. He would not ask for any reason, nor would he make his own interpretation.
Lin Yuan established a new regime, and every regime should operate like a machine, so that there will be no place to get stuck.
Deliberation of politics, management of people's livelihood, management of people's livelihood, military service, and war, each link is closely connected and closely aligned, so that we can have a stronger execution ability.
If the order below is issued, and the people below have their own ideas, even if there is only a little, the implementation will be greatly reduced.
In fact, modern and ancient, one thing is similar, that is, centralization.
In modern times, power seems to be decentralized, but no matter which country, it is still a small group of people who make decisions. If everyone can make decisions and influence government orders, then the country will be in chaos.
Isn't that the one who came to offer the city to Lin Yuan to offer the state
They overthrew the rulers from above and distributed power to those who followed them, as they had promised.
The results of it
They can't get through at all, there are a thousand words with a thousand mouths, and everyone has their own perspective.
Everyone has selfish intentions, but even if some people have selfish intentions, they will focus on righteousness.
But some people only have selfishness and no family and country, they will become moths. If those in power do not find out, the moths will grow bigger and bigger, form gangs, occupy a greater right to speak, and finally even the powers. Can't be shaken.
Between the monarch and the ministers, there is a check and balance in itself. The monarch is strong and the minister is weak. If the monarch is a tyrant, the ministers can't do anything, and they can only cry, make trouble, and hang themselves.
If the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, the monarch is just a shield, just like Anfeng now, doesn't Liu Futong hold the government? Xiao Ming Wang is just a sign in his hand.
If King Xiao Ming dared to take back the power in Liu Futong's hands now, and dared to confront Liu Futong head-on, Liu Futong would be able to paralyze the government.
Without ministers, is the king still the king
People are profit-seeking creatures, and by following Liu Futong, they can hold real power, get promoted and get rich.
Following King Xiao Ming, even if King Xiao Ming gave him a promotion, would he be able to hold real power and would his words be useful
People talk about orthodoxy, and they know in their hearts who has power and who is orthodox.
Chen Bosong said, "Someone gave me a gift."
Lin Yuan: "Who?"
Chen Bosong said: "Zhao Chengguang."
Lin Yuan has a question mark on his face, who is this person? Never heard of it.
Chen Baisong: "I used to be a village chief, and he led the villagers to rebel against the imperial court and captured Jianglin."
... Lin Yuan remembered that there was no such person among the famous uprising leaders at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Guess it was not recorded in the history books because of lack of ability? After all, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were people who rebelled everywhere, and it is unlikely to be recorded one by one.
Chen Bosong added: "He also asked someone to send me a letter and let me show it to you."
Lin Yuan got the letter with a strange expression. This Zhao Chengguang was a madman, and he was so mad that he could not laugh or cry.
The meaning of the letter is: "I did the opposite and killed all those corrupt officials. I heard that you had a good time. We are both the same. I will be enthroned recently. If you are okay, come and attend my enthronement ceremony. When the time comes, I will give you an official, and I will definitely not give you a junior title. If I become the emperor, you will be the king. We will discuss the title later. You must come. If you don’t come, you will look down on me, and I will I've sent troops to you."
Lin Yuan handed the letter to Chen Bosong to read.
Chen Baisong stammered after reading it, his expression suddenly became fierce, his whole figure was like a knife with a sharp edge, buzzing to drink blood: "I'll take the head of this person!"
Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "No, why waste your troops."
Lin Yuan continued to walk forward: "There are too many people like this. If they fight all of them, wouldn't they be exhausted?"
Some people just think that it is profitable, they dare to call themselves emperors with thousands of people under them, seal a bunch of officials, come to three palaces and six courtyards, and become a local emperor in a place where no one is paying attention. When the world is settled, if If you meet a ruler who wants to show kindness, maybe you can get an official position and continue to be the emperor. If you meet someone who is unwilling to show kindness, it will be over.
Just like the imperial court, do you really want to send troops to fight the rebels
Of course, but the reason for recruiting security every time, although there is a reason for its own strength, but also a reason for acting.
You see, he turned back, but I didn't beat him, as long as he surrendered, I would give him the official job.
Are you tired too? Then you accept the recruitment, and I will also give you an official job.
If the Yuan Dynasty is not overthrown in the future, then those who are recruited will be unlucky one by one.
But most of those who were recruited were unaware of this. Their eyes could only see in front of them, and they could only see the benefits that they could get right away.
Chen Bosong looked at the letter with a stern expression.
Lin Yuan: "Don't be so serious, just smile."
Chen Bosong: "..."
However, Pingjiang is not comparable to Gaoyou in one point. Gaoyou was in chaos at the time. The old rules were broken, and Lin Yuan could successfully establish a new order. However, Pingjiang did not experience the same war as Gaoyou. Now, officials only know this way.
It is very difficult to change.
Lin Yuan sighed and said to Chen Bosong, "Go back to rest first."
Chen Bosong nodded: "Master, take care of your health."
Lin Yuan: "I know."
He had to think about how to change Pingjiang into what he wanted with the least damage.
Now that Pingjiang has changed hands, the resistance to change is less. When all the dust is settled, if you want to change it again, the difficulty will change from three stars to ten stars.
