I Am a Wishing Tree
Chapter 37: Episode 15
After the three-year period expired, He Ai did not leave Yungui. After she mobilized the forces that used to occupy the land of Yungui, she was escorted along with the person and the evidence. When he entered Beijing, he was handed over to the Dali Temple for trial, and those official positions that Yungui had vacated were all temporarily replaced by the students brought by He Ai.
As a result, the entire land of Yungui has completely become He Ai's word.
In a shelter from the cold, parents and children have a chance to survive.
He Ai is in charge, but whenever a government project recruits workers, he will always include room and board, and pay wages according to the market price, so that the people can have income, instead of the old way of levying corvée and letting the people Doing volunteer work, doing the hardest and most terrifying work, but not even enough to eat.
It took three years to completely shake hands with Yungui, He Ai began to try to implement the policies she had been thinking about for a long time, such as re-counting the population, measuring the land, and implementing Ding Limu set up Mongolian schools in various villages and towns, and taught those children according to the pinyin teaching model implemented in Jinlan Academy. At the same time, he can also literate adults who want to learn, and promote Mandarin by the way.
All of this made those people very grateful and had a more sense of belonging to the court.
Don't dare to question again.
And this new policy proved in later generations that it is very beneficial to the people who have no land and little land. It can not only reduce the burden of the poor, be conducive to the increase of the population, but also strengthen the landless or landless people. The mobility of the people of the small land.
This move has greatly damaged the interests of those who have a lot of land and land, and it is also equivalent to cutting down the cash cows of the officials who borrowed the poll tax to enrich their personal pockets, but it is a real benefit to the people. policy, the people at the lower level feel the deepest feeling.
The officials in the whole Yungui area are either people brought over by He Ai who are acting as substitutes, or they are not afraid to follow Wu Yueze and others, and they have no ability to improve the big In the environment, we can only go with the flow, do not seek merit, but seek no fault.
I was frightened by He Ai's resolute and endless methods for a long time. Only He Ai's orders were obeyed.
"Sir, although this policy is good, taxation has always been the foundation of a country, and it is difficult to change course easily. Promote it throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
After working together for several years, He Ai has a general understanding of the students from Jinlan Academy who came with her.
Among them, Mu Changrong, who can directly help her in all aspects of government affairs, is the one that He Ai admires most.
This 18-year-old child dares to think and act, is very active in thinking, very generous in doing things for others, and very smart at the same time. He is very willing to cultivate each other with his heart, and teach him the ideas and concepts he has learned from later generations without any secrets.
After all, she may not be as good as these students.
But the education she has received allows her to stand on the shoulders of giants and overlook the world, point out some concepts and directions applicable to the development of the environment in this era, and let these children with outstanding abilities They can move forward in a clear direction.
"As long as the pilot can be successful, we can speak with data, but any new policy will often bring some damage to the interests of some people, but this is only temporary, when time proves , when new policies can also bring them new points of interest, they will no longer be so resistant.”
Mu Changrong nodded, "So, the pilot is very important!"
"Accurately speaking, the accurate data obtained in the pilot should be very important, no matter how good you think it is, but everything is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, you need to take it step by step. Blindly spreading it out in an all-round way, such a quick success will only turn good things into bad things.”
"It's like you were determined to build water conservancy here, build bridges and roads, when those projects are completed, it will definitely bring benefits to the land of Yungui, even Wu Yueze and the others can When you benefit from it, not only will you no longer resist the resentment as before, but you will also sing praises for you."
He Ai nodded.
“These are all infrastructure projects. Only by doing a good job in infrastructure can we have the opportunity to attract traffic. After revitalizing the local economy, we can bring more money-making opportunities to the people and increase their income.”
He Ai added some digressions here.
"Although we are scholars, we must establish a correct attitude towards money. In this world, we need money for everything we want to do. Wealth makes it easy to do things, and we have the ability to make money and bring people under our command. , with the people, without harming the interests of others, so that everyone can make money, get benefits, and get what they need is the real skill!"
On this point, Mu Changrong was deeply touched, and also sincerely admired He Ai's ability, because not only did she take advantage of the opportunity to establish Jinlan Academy, she built a less populated and productive It has become a classic case of academies that the low-level and middle-class farms have become a cornucopia.
In the three years he has been with He Ai, he has seen with his own eyes how He Ai has turned waste into treasure, turning an inconspicuous wild plant fruit in the mountain into a fruit that no one cares about. This is a specialty of the land of Yungui.
Then, that kind of spicy millet not only became a tribute, but also became a high-priced special product that foreign merchants rushed to buy, because He Ai let people use that kind of spicy food that can stimulate people's taste buds The millet is spicy, try to make a lot of delicious dishes, and then recommend it to out-of-town merchants along with the recipes.
In this way, not only the local people who grow millet spicy can benefit, those merchants can benefit, those restaurants and restaurants that buy millet spicy and recipes from merchants can benefit, and those who can eat new dishes can benefit Of course, it is also a good thing for the diners.
Especially when the doctors found out that people living in Yun, Gui, Chuan and Shu are still good for their health by eating more of this pepper, He Ai's promotion and sale of spicy millet will definitely make All parties follow the good thing of making money and benefiting.
As the development of the land of Yungui is in full swing, it has taken off the hat of being a troublemaker in the past, and has become a beautiful scenery. Although the geographical location is remote, the transportation is convenient. Life is getting better and better, and the taxes and silver paid to the imperial court are increasing year by year. When the situation is good, rebellions occur again in the adjacent land of Sichuan and Shu.
After receiving the hand letter sent by Emperor Mingjing from a private secret channel, He Ai immediately began to prepare for the war. All the positions in their hands were handed over to Mu Changrong, so that they would prepare to perform the prefect on their behalf.
Being together for nearly five years, seeing these arrangements and arrangements of He Ai, of course Mu Changrong knew that this was a major event. Although he had confidence in his ability, he accepted He Ai Worrying about what to do next.
Because he has already seen that He Ai is obviously about to lead his troops to the battlefield. He is now very sure that He Ai is a good man in governing the country, developing the economy and people's livelihood. He is a talented person, but he has doubts about whether he can lead his troops to victory.
No matter what the group of students headed by Mu Changrong thought, a group of Jinshi from Jinlan Academy soon came to announce the decree under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Personnel.
Order He Ai to be the general to suppress the rebellion, and lead the Yungui garrison to set off as soon as possible to pacify the chaos in Sichuan and Sichuan. The personnel arrangement in the Yungui area will remain unchanged for the time being. Temporary deputy.
After familiarizing themselves with the government affairs and people's livelihood in Yungui, they will gradually take over the positions in Yungui. The group of students brought by He Ai will return to the academy to take the imperial examinations. The merits made in the land of Yungui will be recorded as their political achievements after they officially enter the official career.
These are the suggestions that He Ai has made to Emperor Mingjing before. Yungui, as a pilot site, must be handed over to a certain and reliable place, and can continue to implement the various decrees he issued over the years. In the hands of its successor, the current good situation of Yungui's stable and orderly development cannot be destroyed.
What He Ai was worried about was exactly what Emperor Mingjing thought. other positions.
The land of Yungui, which has always needed to be continuously invested in it, was finally rectified by He Ai to the point where it could contribute to the imperial court.
In the past few years, those students have followed He Ai's hard work here for nearly five years, not only accumulated rich work experience, but also well inherited some of He Ai's concepts In terms of ideas, they are already mature officials, and now the only thing missing is a ticket to officially enter the official career.
As long as this ticket is added, they will surely become a highly used official, whether it is for these students, or for Emperor Mingjing, including for the common people, this will be a good thing.
After putting on a suit of general's armor, He Ai's temperament immediately changed drastically. Those who used to be soldiers, after repeated training and participated in battles, have been deeply rooted in the bones.
Looking at He Ai who seemed to have changed a person like this, Mu Changrong, who believed that he knew He Ai well, was stunned, but the worries and doubts in his heart quickly disappeared , because he has now realized very clearly that the person in front of him is a general!
