Chapter 54: The general trend is beginning to take shape
"I heard what you said, it's true that the Holy Son's idea is so comprehensive!
No wonder they can manage the places in Taiyuan and Luliang so well!
You don’t know, didn’t I go to Yongning to lace crafts and glass mirrors last time?
When I first got there, I almost thought I had taken the wrong path or went to the wrong place.
It turned out that there were only a few blue brick houses, most of which were mud and thatched houses. The streets were not only narrow, but also very dirty.
But last time I went there, not only did the streets become very wide, but almost all the houses in the county town have become brick houses. Although they are not blue bricks, they look much better than before.
There are no beggars on the streets. Although the people may not be as good as those in Jiangnan, they are definitely good in the north.
I haven't visited Taiyuan City yet, but I heard that the management is good, so I'll take a look next time!"
Pierton giggled, feeling a little glorious.
"According to this, the Holy Son is really a talent for governing the world. I just don't know if he can keep going. If he can persist like this, he might be able to really have hope for the world.
But the Li Ju on your side was really too dragged on.
The leaders of other rebels occupied women and were scolded at most.
But the Li Ju incident on your side is really going to be ridiculed by others. Do you know how many people laughed at that Li Ju some time ago?"
Although Cai Ming did not go to Luliang, Taiyuan to take a look, he also knew that Pierdong would not lie.
Therefore, I still believe in what he said about the situation in Luliang.
I just believe that the ability of the Holy Son to govern is not in conflict with the impact of the complaints about Li Ju.
Anyway, after that, not only were they, who had something to do with Li Ju, mocked the crowd for a while, but also caused much difficulty in preaching the White Lotus Sect.
When others heard this, they didn’t say anything about the Virgin Mary or not, they just said that a church master was beaten to death by his own wife!
Do you think you are angry?
“This matter…
Alas! It can’t be considered a bad thing, at least because of this incident, we have captured a lot of secret spies from the court!
It can also be considered a blessing and misfortune!"
There is really no way to deny Li Ju. The more you deny it, the more others think you are guilty.
Pierton could only pinch his nose and recognize it and guide the topic in other directions.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the hottest time period of the news has passed!
Don't worry, I will raise the food you want as soon as possible.
But even if I raise it as soon as possible, the speed will not be much faster. After all, I have to be careful not to let others know that my food was sent to you.
Give me a month, and I will definitely deliver it to you in one month!
But it is really difficult to get there on your side. I won’t talk about the distance. There are still places in Henan and Shaanxi along the side, so I can only walk to Shandong to make it safer.
If it weren't for the escorts that were all our White Lotus Sect brothers, and if they were replaced by ordinary escort agencies, no one would be willing to take on this job!
Okay, let's do it. There is a maid of the prefect who will come over later. Once she comes, we will have to clear the scene, so let's go first.
Have to talk about other things, wait until the backyard before chatting!”
Cai Ming looked at the hourglass and found that it was not too early and he didn't worry about the previous issue for a long time. He made a promise and asked Rapier to leave here.
This is where women buy things, so men should not appear.
Of course, they can't find out if they hide, but the key is that the wife of the prefect who will come here later has a very sharp nose.
Last time he was staying here and was not in a hurry to leave, the prefect's wife smelled it.
Later, I finally said it was better to make excuses.
Things can be one, not two!
If the prefect's wife smells it again this time and spreads the news about a man in their store, then he will not do the business in this store.
Which of those women in the boudoir is shameless?
No matter how good the things here are, as long as the store has a bad reputation, they will never take a step forward. This is a matter of principle.
After all, they still have to get married!
Pierton had heard Cai Ming say about the thief-related wife who was forced to do something, and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she followed Cai Ming and left quickly.
...
Time flies, and in just a few months, the adverse effects Li Ju had brought to Jiang Hao and the others completely disappeared. How should Taiyuan develop or how to develop.
Bi He also continued to explore outside according to the trajectory set by Jiang Hao for him.
By early October, Shanxi had basically been taken over.
The rebels in Henan have the new gunpowder and land mine grenades they provided. Although the speed was a little slower, they occupied more than half of Henan's territory.
Everything seems to be thriving.
Especially after the news of the planting base in Taiyuan and the harvest of many villages in Yongning, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu was 10,000 kilograms, the hearts of the people in the entire Shanxi were gathered together.
The internal personnel of the rebel army also emerged with incomparable confidence.
They are confident that they have a yield of 10,000 kilograms of grain per mu, and they should never go hungry again. They are confident that this yield of 10,000 kilograms of grain per mu appears in the territory they occupy, which is necessarily God's recognition of their behavior.
We must not ignore the superstition level of this era. The superstition of this era is not only the superstition of ordinary people, but also a large part of the royal family is also superstitious.
The concept of unity between man and nature is one of the foundations of Confucianism.
Many Confucian students just don’t believe in God, but it does not mean that they deny God, nor does it mean that they don’t believe in God.
When the news of the yield of sweet potatoes per mu spread to Taiyuan and reached other places, many people first disbelief, first ridicule, first ridicule, first ridicule.
However, when word-of-mouth news gradually spread and when a small number of sweet potatoes were secretly taken out, many people began to doubt it.
Adjectives such as Shennong and God's will were gradually crowned on Jiang Hao's head, and on the rebel army of Jiang Hao and others.
...
Taiyuan, Shanxi
Taiyuan Prefecture
Jiang Hao was a little worried:
"You mean, basically no one is willing to grow wheat and chestnut rice according to the new technology we provide. They just want to grow sweet potatoes?"
“Yes, Son!
I think this is human nature.
Even if we provide them with careful care, the wheat and chestnut rice that we planted will yield up to 400 kilograms per mu, less than 500 kilograms.
But even if the sweet potatoes are not very careful, as long as they are not really abandoned, they will still gain five or six thousand pounds, which is a dozen times the gap!"
Miao Yi had no choice. Others were unwilling to use their methods, so they couldn't force them.
Chapter completed!
