The inexplicable teaching test made Jiang Pengji secretly suspicious, a pair of eyes swept across Liu She's face, and then half-closed.
It seems that there are more secrets hidden in this cheap father than she imagined.
It's just that she didn't eat dry rice. Liu She's move was probably not just as simple as teaching exams, but to verify something.
"I have also carefully studied this place in Hu County. If you want to save your life, it is not difficult."
After all, it was where his father took office. Although the original owner, Liu Lanting, had no impression of his father, he was full of admiration and eagerly wanted to know everything about the other party. Therefore, there were also many books and materials related to the humanities and customs of Hu County in the study.
"The people of Hu County are sturdy and rogues are common. Because the village gentry and officials are in unison and exploit the people, they naturally hate the officials sent by the imperial court. Due to the special circumstances, the officials of Hu County are mostly hereditary, and the sons inherit the father's business. become a country within a country.”
Jiang Pengji has always been violent, and she never complicates simple things. It is actually very simple to save her life and go to Hu County.
Liu She's eyes were bright, and the confusion and hesitation on his face seemed to dissipate a lot because of this, "How is it not difficult?"
"With more than 300 people in the Ding Huyuan, and ten carts of silver, rice, and grain, don't rush to take office. Go to suppress the bandits first." Jiang Pengji said with a smile, her eyes shining with candlelight, making people addicted to this Self-confidence and expression, "Hu County's people are sturdy. How can Xiaoxiao be convinced by a letter from the imperial court alone? Only strong soldiers to deter people and force to convince people can make people fearful and make people dare not act rashly."
"Strong soldiers are all forged in blood. First, test them with small waves of rogues. If you can sincerely submit to yourselves, you can recruit peace. It's the name of the iron-blooded ferocity."
Those are rogues, destroy them, no matter how ruthless, no one else can pick out the mistake.
This seemingly nonsensical move is actually aimed at secretly attracting sturdy and available people and expanding his own strength.
The second family of Liu's family has a great business and enough money and food, enough for Liu She to play like this for a year or two, and all those squires and officials who tried to sharpen their knives, collude with rogues, and secretly harm him, were too frightened to make a sound, or even dare to move.
"However, it is too powerful, and the court officials are jealous and suspicious, so some of the subdued rogues can sneak into the mountains and forests in disguise, continue to be his 'rogues', secretly pay attention to the movements of all parties, and monitor the movements of the gentry and officials. Hu County is gradually eating away."
Jiang Pengji's thoughts were not carefully considered, it was just her first reaction.
After years of fighting, it has become an instinct to prioritize the use of force to solve problems.
As for the hard bones like Hu County, if they are not cruel, if they are not completely beaten, they will not be able to subdue at all. Although Liu's second house is rich, it is impossible to fully support these "military forces", so serving food to the enemy is a good way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Jiang Pengji said slowly, Liu She's eyes almost became brighter and brighter, she pretended that she didn't see it, her eyes drooped slightly, "The reason why Hu County is so poor and terrible, one is a man-made disaster, the other is a natural disaster, and man-made disasters are still solvable. However, natural disasters are not easy to deal with.”
Liu She seemed to have put down something, and asked with a smile, "Koranting seems to have already made up his mind."
"I have observed that Hu County is so barren, and one of the reasons is the drought and lack of water, which makes large fields dry and crops cannot grow." Jiang Pengji gestured to Hu County in Kun's map, "However, the land of Hu County is very dry. Underneath it is water.”
Jiang Pengji carefully looked at the information collected by Liu Lanting, the little girl seemed to be obsessed with this, and always wanted to be a man as stalwart as her father. It's just that the problem of Hu County was put in front of her, but she was puzzled and didn't know where to start.
For Jiang Pengji, this is not a problem.
As a genetic warrior, she needs to adapt to various war environments, and she has to learn all the knowledge related to combat, maybe one day she will be able to save her life. Back then, he even accepted wasteland survival and was thrown unarmed into a place with the notorious abyss of death.
There were a thousand people participating in the training, but she was the only one who survived.
It is not suitable for human survival, and the food, air, and water sources that human beings need are extremely difficult problems.
In addition to some common sense knowledge she learned from books, the rest of her investigations of the mountains and waters were accumulated in the struggle between life and death.
Combined with the mixed collection of humanities and customs in Hu County, there is a lot of content describing the mountain-shaped terrain, but some clues have been found.
"Of course, groundwater sources can't alleviate the drought in the entire Hu County." Jiang Pengji's pale fingers moved to a big river near Hu County. This big river is known as the mother river of Dongqing. .
Hu County is short of water, but in some places there is so much water that people drown.
Floods and droughts, it's hard to tell which one is more deadly.
This is a multiple-choice question about dying of thirst or drowning, no matter which one you choose, you will die, but in different ways.
People born in Dongqing are also unlucky, and there is not a quarter of an hour to live in peace at the end of the year.
"First dig the groundwater source, and after a little relief from the disaster, call the people and use manpower to lead the branch water source into the rivers in Hu County."
The main vein of the river cannot be moved lightly. If there is another flood in some year and the river breaks out, maybe the pot will be thrown on Liu She's head. But the water of the branch veins is no problem, it can also reduce the project and shorten the time, and the branch veins are closer to Hu County.
After hearing this, Liu She smiled and asked back, "This plan is feasible, but it's just a corvée Shen Ke, how can the people bear it?"
Corrupt labor, to put it bluntly, is unpaid physical labor. There are many Shen Ke, and there are often life-threatening lawsuits, and it is impossible to mobilize enthusiasm.
Jiang Pengji thought for a while, and said, "What's so difficult about this? I promise the common people a little remuneration to be responsible for three meals of coarse grains. In addition, it is necessary to promise that when the construction is completed in the future, the wasteland will be reclaimed, and the government will provide agricultural tools and cattle. Agricultural tax can be reduced or exempted as appropriate.”
With remuneration, can motivation be the same as unpaid labor
Money reward is the driving force and direction of progress.
Hu County is a rather strange place. Dongqing has very little control over it, and various laws are also spoken.
If Liu She could stabilize the Hu County, and write a letter to reduce or even reduce the extortionate and miscellaneous taxes for several years, that would be an easy task.
Taking the order of the imperial court as a favor for yourself, the prestige and prestige of the people belong to you, and it is a very cost-effective business.
Liu She asked, "Such a huge project requires so much money, where does it come from? What's more, the matter of corvée has its own regulations. If it is implemented, not only will it have to face the pressure of insufficient money, but it may also be punished by others. Joint impeachment."
If this is really done, maybe a charge of treason against ministers will be covered.
