Chapter 2160 There’s a long way to go
The Golden Plains had been in chaos for a thousand years, and the Dragon God War had destroyed the entire plain, which made the economic foundation of Cangyan weak at the beginning of its establishment, and the civilians were still poor. As we all know, wars cost money and lives, and Cangyan's handling of these foreign wars had already made the people in the western part of Cangyan tighten their belts.
Cost control, cost control, He Lingchuan repeats this sentence several times every day at Baiqiuyuan.
However, with unstable borders and powerful neighbors coveting our territory, how can we talk about stable development at home?
So these battles have to be fought.
Fortunately, he was lucky.
"In fact, the two countries of Mou and Ya may not want to fight anymore. The Emperor's blood flow is frequent, and the human world is full of vitality. Only a fool would miss this good opportunity for rapid development. Besides, the demon world is in chaos, and the demons are fighting each other to death. They probably don't care about the affairs of the human world at the moment." He Lingchuan smiled, "If You Huan could have become the chief assistant half a year earlier, the Mou-Ya war might not have happened."
On this day, He Lingchuan and Nan Ronghe discussed the public security issues in southern Cangyan.
Shan Jinping was originally a miserable place, and the people were fierce and aggressive. Although the Dragon God War defeated a large number of bandits, after Cangyan established the country, the bad habits of stealing, occupying, fighting and fighting among the people were difficult to correct.
In addition, due to the mutation of monsters caused by the Di Liujiang, the security pressure in various places is not small, especially in the southern and eastern parts of Cangyan.
Nan Ronghe is the Sima of the Five Southern States, responsible for managing the public security of the five states and coordinating the army. This time he came to the capital to report on his work and to come up with a work plan for the next stage.
After listening to the chaos in the countryside in the south, He Lingchuan only said a few words: "Hunger and cold give rise to the desire to steal."
He could reveal his shortcomings without any burden, but Nan Ronghe didn't know how to respond. He couldn't just say, "Your Majesty, you are right. We are just too poor."
The fact that the Nine Nether Emperor unified the Golden Plains was an unprecedented achievement, enough to leave a strong mark in history. However, the country was faced with many problems in its early days, which could not be improved without time.
Nan Ronghe could only cough lightly. "For example, the two villages in Nanzhai Township had a fight over a piece of land and water, and seven or eight people died and more than twenty were injured. Originally, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was revived, and as long as they guarded for a month or so, the grain would be abundant and the urgent need of the village could be solved. Life is not easy now, but haven't we gotten through all these years? But, why do they have to fight for this little profit in front of them!"
It was extremely short-sighted! He felt deeply distressed.
"Those two villages have a feud, right?"
"Yes. Over the past decade or so, many people have died at the hands of the other party. Five years ago, the groom of one of the families went out to pick up his bride and passed by the other party's land, where he was beaten and had his legs crippled."
"That's it. Emperor Liujiang is here, but hatred is hard to eliminate. The strong prey on the weak, and the powerful bully the weak. The Shanjin people still believe in the law of the jungle. These are all accumulated problems in the past, and it will take time to slowly resolve them." He Lingchuan took a notebook and wrote on Zhu, "You will have to work hard again during this period. You must strengthen rural security, impose strict punishments, and suppress the trend of private fights among the people."
He Lingchuan recalled that he had gone to the countryside in disguise a few days ago and walked into a restaurant in the suburbs of Jucheng. On the earthen wall where flies were resting, he saw a few large characters written in black charcoal.
Although the font is crooked, the content is serious:
Anyone who dares to steal and eat for free will have his legs broken first and then report to the police!
Most customers who come into the store cannot recognize these few simple words and always ask the store owner:
"What's written on it?"
He Lingchuan rubbed his face and said, "By the way, how is Yundong's teacher recruitment going?"
Two generations of the Nanrong family have been city lords. Yundong City and other cities are rare stable places in the southern part of Shanjin. The citizens are wealthy and the literacy rate is much higher than other places.
"We have recruited more than 1,200 people to study at the official school. They all know more than 500 or 600 words. They are trained day and night. They use the Five Relationships compiled by Lord Situ himself. In a month or so, they will be selected and sent to various villages."
"What about the preparations for the township school?"
"We don't lack land, but we do lack people. In the early days, three villages shared one public school. The houses and land are ready, and there are more than 200 schools under renovation, which will be ready for use within a month." Nan Ronghe said, "But now the enthusiasm of the people to attend the school is not very high, and not many villagers sign up."
Going to school costs money, and going to school will delay farming and working, which directly affects the family's income.
"That's fine. Government offices, chambers of commerce, and private inns all need people who can read and do arithmetic. When each batch of students finishes, have someone post their employment information at the entrance to the market and the city gate, so that everyone knows that they can get a decent job and make more money by attending the school. They will figure out the rest on their own."
He Lingchuan stopped writing and solemnly warned: "With the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, people's surplus wealth and food will gradually increase. They must learn to protect their property and not be cheated out of it. Therefore, the education of the people must be vigorously promoted. This is extremely beneficial to the long-term stability of the local area."
In the past, most of the people who flashed gold were poor and had no extra money at home, so there was nothing to take care of; but now, the huge increase brought by Emperor Liujiang was at hand, and ordinary people would soon be able to benefit from it and save some money. If they were still illiterate and couldn't even count, they would easily be cheated and lose everything.
Don't let the situation end when there are fewer cases of robbery and robbery, but more cases of fraud and deception.
"Yes."
Just then, the guard came to report that Lu Qiuwei wanted to see him, so Nan Ronghe took the order and left.
Lu Qiuwei came to report on the seventeen riots in the northern and northwestern parts of Shanjin in the past four months.
Seventeen cases may sound like a lot, but the Golden Plains is so vast that, looking at the sand table map, they only occur sporadically.
Six of the cases were about people who wanted to establish their own faction, so they recruited their fellow villagers to capture the local county government and plant their flags on the city walls.
The idea was great, but it failed at the first step.
Before they could put their plan into action, they were reported to the police. When the rural patrol team rushed into their house, a group of them had just drunk five taels of cheap wine and were discussing how to revolt. They were shouting passionately, with red faces and thick necks.
When He Lingchuan heard this, he couldn't help but press his forehead.
The Dragon God War defeated the evil bandits and tyrants on the Shining Gold Plain, which made room for these little Karami. Logically speaking, the Nine Nether Emperor is supported by the people, and these people should not dare to act rashly.
But there are all kinds of people in the world, and there are many strange people in the Shining Gold Plains, and their thinking patterns are different from those of ordinary people.
That's hard to say "logically".
After all, the riots and rebellions on the Golden Plains have lasted for thousands of years and have long become the norm in people's minds. It cannot be completely corrected in a short period of time.
When the Dragon God War was over, some people felt that they were fine again when they saw the wind stop and the rain stopped.
