Because it was a private visit by the microservices... I entered the village quietly and didn’t want to shoot guns, so I didn’t play the emperor’s dragon banner. It just made the three major battalion sergeants wear a set of mandarin duck battle jackets, which looked like ordinary military attachés. Jin Yiwei's pro-army wore casual clothes and were responsible for secretly opening the way.
Six days later, the team arrived at Yanghe Road East.
It’s just that during the six-day journey, Chongzhen’s mood is very bad... In fact, Chongzhen is not an emperor who is incomprehensible with the sufferings of the people. Although he is in a deep palace, he also knows that the people’s life is going well like today. It's very difficult.
But after he really came out, he realized that the people's life was even more miserable than he imagined! Just say that on the way to Yanghe Road East, the trees that I saw on the road were all without leaves.
what reason? Under the catastrophe, the people don't have a living, the people are digging grass roots and eating leaves! Some people I occasionally see are thin and skinny, walking swayingly, like a living corpse that swims... It's so miserable...
There were even a few times when passing by some fairs, there were people selling children and girls everywhere. Those twelve or thirteen-year-old boys and girls kneeled on the ground with grass signs on their heads, hoping to be People buy it, lest they starve to death!
And because it was a catastrophe year and the grain harvest failed, the price of one stone has risen to eighty taels of silver! But such a person can buy it for two taels of silver! A big living person is only worth forty catties of rice? Such a miserable...
So Chongzhen was sitting in the carriage, and she cried a few times when she saw it, and she was ashamed to my people!
So after several times like this, Wang Chengen, who was waiting on the side, stopped letting him look at the scenery outside the car to prevent Chongzhen from being overwhelmed with grief.
However, after the brigade entered Yanghe Daodong Road, Wang Chengen was uncharacteristically, frequently pulling the driving curtains to allow Chongzhen to watch the scenery outside the car, and the emperor Chongzhen, who was blaming himself along the way, felt better after seeing it. Some... even he thought it was really strange. It was also under the rule of Ming Dynasty. It was just entering the boundary of Yanghe Daodong Road, but why did it look like two worlds
As for what he saw before, the fields were barren along the way, and some of the crops that he occasionally saw were all looked like they were stunned, but here, in the neatly organized farms, they are all The endless green!
Now that the autumn harvest is over, it is winter wheat that is planted in the fields, and these winter wheats are still growing very well, and it is totally invisible that it will not rain for a few months.
"What's the reason?" After all, Chongzhen has never worked in farming, and he is not clear about the doorway. At this moment, he saw several people in the farmland in front of him who were farming. Chongzhen was interested in coming and decided to go and check it out himself. .
However, Chongzhen's distinguished status, how could he personally go there, so the British public Zhang Shize sent a few three battalion sergeants to call the farmers.
Then Chongzhen glanced at it, and he secretly nodded. You must know that it is the end of October and the weather is very cold, but these farmers have thick clothes to wear. Although they are only the cheapest coarse cloth clothes, they are on the road. The people I saw who didn’t cover their bodies were already too strong!
And looking at their faces, although they are not red, they are also a little bit bloody. Compared with the sallow faces of refugees in other places, they are stronger than the refugees in the shape of skeletons. I don't know how much!
After looking at it, Chongzhen picked one of the oldest farmers, and asked in a pleasant manner: "This old man, I... I'm here to ask you, is this field yours?"
"Master Hui, this land is not owned by me. It was rented to me and other people to cultivate it." The farmer saw Chongzhen's noble aristocracy and surrounded by many guards, and knew that there should be a lot of it. The backing character, so he answered honestly.
"Oh, old man, you don't have your own land? Then, can you still have enough to eat after renting the land for farming?" Chongzhen continued to ask cheerfully.
"My son, my little old man, I was originally from the Datong Mansion. I just couldn't live in my hometown. The original three acres of Susukino was bought at a low price by the landlord during the disaster year, so I was desperate. I fled here, but after arriving here, the general is indeed a good person. Now the little old man is not only safe in food and clothing, even after this autumn harvest, the family has saved enough food for half a year!"
"What? Can there be so much?" Chongzhen was very surprised when he heard that. Although he didn't understand farming, he still knew the most basic autumn planting and summer harvest. If this is the case, having the grain in the past six months indicates that he will wait for the next summer harvest. After that, the food can be picked up again. Isn't that enough to eat all year round
And it should be noted that this farmer said that there is enough food, not the kind of wild vegetables mixed with bran to survive.
"In that case, how much do you pay for the land rent?" Chongzhen thought for a while. He knew this. For these landless farmers, the level of land rent basically determines the quality of their lives. .
"The rent is very low." When the farmer said this, his face was even more grateful: "Thanks to the kindness of the general, only 10% of the rent is harvested in the entire East Road! You must know that the young man is in his hometown. At that time, those bully landlords had to harvest 70% of the rent, and even in such a catastrophe year, the fields would not be harvested, and they still did not reduce one sub-rent! So this way, the general's benevolent governance is even more evident. what!"
It's a good news, it's worth installing, and even Android and Apple phones support it!
"What!" Chongzhen was moved when he heard that, only collecting 10% of the rent? You must know that before he came out, he had made up for some knowledge in this area. Knowing that the farming of this kind of guard station, the farming seeds that are handed in every year are almost 10% of the rent.
Since that is the case, Yang Shanlu is in this one, and has not made any profit, it is completely cultivated for these people for free! But if this is the case, what did he use for the water conservancy construction of the farmland, and what did he use to raise the army? Could it be said that those floral lotions and woolen sweaters are really so beneficial
But while Chongzhen was meditating, Zhang Shize beside him pouted and said, "Cut, it's just buying people's hearts!"
Zhang Shize was the son of an authentic honor after Lord Rongguo, but this time the incident involving the 400 officials on the East Road was raging, and several of them were his doglegs, so he was ruthlessly driven away by Yang Shanlu this time. Interests have also been harmed, so naturally I will not say anything good.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the common people who had been shrinking just now suddenly looked at him and said loudly: "The uncle, you don't like to listen to this thing! What! It's called buying people's hearts! This is the heart of a saint! You said that the general is buying people's hearts? You know that there are nearly a million people on Yanghe Daodong Road, and this is buying people's hearts? If this is the case, you too Buy one, let me see?"
"Uh-" Zhang Shize was speechless by him, including several other farmers on the side. Hearing that he dared to belittle Yang Shanlu, they all glared at him. If it weren't for seeing them in large numbers, It is estimated that he must be taught how to behave!
When Chongzhen saw this, he stared at him fiercely and blamed him for talking nonsense. After calming these people, since Chongzhen came to learn more this time, he asked carefully, including the fields. Why do the wheat seedlings grow so well, and how do they defend against drought
And when Chongzhen learned that this was the case, it was because these farms had invested heavily in digging deep wells, installing water trucks... and various other water conservancy facilities, all of which were built by Yang Shanlu without compensation. This is only after harvesting 10% of the rent (it is said that Yang Shanlu does not rely on this to make money, he does not earn the money of these poor people, he earns the money of those rich people! In addition, he can recuperate people's power).
Chongzhen remained silent after hearing it for a long time, and finally said, "It is true that it is General Zhen Guo, so if it is me... I want to be bought by him."
Then Chongzhen and his party continued to move forward, and then he looked at the entire Yanghe Daodong Road along the way, and the endless land was full of such a thriving situation. He couldn't help but think...
He still remembered a sentence, the so-called cultivators have their fields, and the residents have their houses, it is for the great governance of the world! But now
And when this team arrived at the destination, after the guards of the ten Davids, because it was a private visit (so as to see the truest side), Chongzhen asked Zhang Shize to send a team of Jinyi guards, because it was a private visit (so that the most real side) was made. Take his dragon-shaped jade pendant and let them go and inform Yang Shanlu.
After a while, Yang Shanlu brought a team of guards to pick him up in person.
But when he saw that Chongzhen was indeed here, he was very surprised... Why didn't the Emperor Xindao come to me instead of sitting in the capital? But now that it's here, it's useless to think about these things. After Yang Shanlu saw Chongzhen, he immediately dismounted and prepared to pay homage.
Unexpectedly, Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Yang Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, this time I... er, this son is here to visit Weifu privately this time to inspect the people's livelihood on the spot, so you just need to call me Zhu son."
In this case, Yang Shanlu knew that Chongzhen didn't want to reveal his identity, so he nodded in agreement, and then saw Chongzhen coming from afar, Yang Shanlu wanted to ask him to take a rest in the general's mansion first, and then inspect it later.
Unexpectedly, Chongzhen was very anxious: "Yang Aiqing, this son is not here for a rest, so you can take me to the tour now."
Well, although Chongzhen claimed to be Zhu Gongzi, that was also a golden language, so Yang Shanlu could only follow it.
"If that's the case, why don't you look at the farm first?" Yang Shanlu said.
"Haha, this young man has already seen a lot on this road in Tuntian, Aiqing, you have a good management! It is a granary or something, you can take this young man to see." Chongzhen said with a smile, obviously still in a great mood Not bad.
In this case, Yang Shanlu also took him to see the granary. To say that the grain output of the entire East Road is amazing, so there are many granaries, which is also a major feature.
And when Chongzhen and his team came to a heavy place guarded by the Xuanjia Army, they saw a dozen or so, covering several acres of land, when there was a two-story granary, his eyes were already shining... I rely on , These granaries are so big and so high, this one’s granary is on top of the other three or four guards... If it’s full of food...
When Chongzhen entered the granary, he saw a pile of bags of grain, and Chongzhen personally opened the bag to check, and found that they were all new grains just harvested from the autumn harvest, not moldy grains that had been stored for several years. After recharging indiscriminately.
Chongzhen nodded again and again: "Aiqing, you have done a good job. The so-called people rely on food as the sky, and the people without food are unstable! All I have seen along the way here are selling children and selling daughters! Let me A sad sight! But with you, I see hope!"
"Weichen dare not!" Yang Shanlu was very cautious and cautious before clarifying Chongzhen's intentions... He must not raise his tail.
And then, Chongzhen said again, you can take him to take a look at anything that has the characteristics of the East Road and is new and interesting. If that is the case, Yang Shanlu will take him to see the greenhouse first.
There are currently six semi-underground greenhouses (each with the size of half an acre, about 300 square meters). Four of them are planted with vegetables, mainly to meet the needs of officials at all levels of Yang Shanlu. The other two cultivate sweet potatoes. (Breeding)
Chongzhen doesn’t care about all kinds of greenhouse vegetables. Although he knows that in this early winter season, such cucumbers, chicken feathers, and eggplants are indeed rare things and can be sold at high prices, but This does not help people's livelihood.
But after Yang Shanlu took him into the greenhouse for cultivating sweet potatoes, and introduced Chongzhen to Chongzhen's grandeur about the role of sweet potatoes, Chongzhen's eyes were instantly rounded: "What? What are you talking about? I, Daming, still have this Fetish?"
PS White Horse is so miserable, I took a look and didn't give a reward for 21 days! After breaking the historical record, Baima can't figure it out. Is it really that bad? Here, the white horse brazenly set up a bowl, which great fairy will give a 188 iron blood coin, so as to add some motivation to the white horse... (end of this chapter)
