One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-Three: Headless Bones, Seal (1)
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Jiang Pengji is strict in running the army, but the salaries and pensions and benefits for the soldiers are also second to none among the princes.
She spent half a month dealing with this matter, and took people out to survey Changye's terrain in her spare time to see what should be improved.
Not only did she go by herself, she also brought Huang Song along.
"They are all busy, thinking about it, only you are still free."
Jiang Pengji said calmly, as if she was just talking about today's weather.
Huang Song was about to choke his blood. At any rate, he was an opponent who was beaten to death twenty days ago. Have you forgotten?
Is this scolding him in disguise?
Jiang Pengji was wearing a relatively casual toga with large sleeves and a Confucian shirt with long sleeves. The long sleeves were fastened with loops, revealing two bare arms.
Today's weather is about to enter late autumn, Huang Song feels chilly when he sees her attire, wishing to stay away from her.
Jiang Pengji was wearing wide-tooth clogs, with Huang Song beside her, and more than twenty guards with knives standing behind her.
They climbed to the top of a nearby mountain and looked down, and they could still see continuous and regular military camps.
"Changye is a desolate place now, but I heard that it used to be a county with abundant grain." Jiang Pengji took a look, ignoring the frightened eyes of the guards, and climbed up to the rock on the top of the mountain, standing higher and seeing farther , "Does Bogao know about this?"
Huang Song's scalp became numb when he saw her act of trying to kill her, so he immediately stepped back to clear the suspicion.
He didn't want to be misunderstood for wanting to murder Jiang Pengji, he guessed that he hadn't murdered yet, they had already rushed forward and strangled him.
"I've heard some, it's said that the rain flooded back and caused the plague—"
Jiang Pengji said, "The terrain here is low. If there is a rare rainstorm and the waterway is blocked, it is indeed easy for the river to backflow."
Natural disasters continue to occur in Dongqing, some people die from drought, and others die from waterlogging. No one can guarantee that there will be no rare torrential rains in Changye.
For this to develop, this issue must be resolved.
If Changye can be managed well, it will be a grain-producing county in the future, and there will never be too much food.
In this era, it is a kind of happiness that cheap grain hurts farmers. The most terrible thing is that there is not enough food.
Huang Song took a look and asked, "What is Lan Ting going to do?"
Jiang Pengji said, "Drain the river to nourish the fertility."
Because ancient tools are very backward, in order to make up for this, a lot of manpower and labor must be dispatched.
According to the previous method, Jiang Pengji recruited refugees from nearby areas and provided relief with work, which could not only solve the public security problem in one place, but also solve the livelihood problems of the people, and at the same time, it would not delay the construction of various projects. For Changye, it is natural to do the same.
only……
Changye is a deserted place, not to mention refugees, it is difficult to see even a living person.
If it is developed here, Jiang Pengji must transfer people from other places.
Doing so is another expense, and it will take time to transfer people.
"I plan to clean up and filter the battle uniform..."
Said to be a prisoner of war, isn't it Huang Song's former soldier?
Jiang Pengji planned to absorb young and strong prisoners of war to expand the barracks, and keep the rest as labor.
Of course, even if they were prisoners of war, Jiang Pengji planned to pay them, but the pay was only half of normal labor.
When the construction period here is over, these captives can stay as residents of Changye, or they can choose to return home.
Huang Song said, "Lanting just needs to make a decision."
From his point of view, Jiang Pengji's methods were gentle and benevolent. If it had been done before when rice and food were scarce, prisoners of war would have been murdered.
Prisoners of war cannot be counted as human beings, and their social status is even lower than that of slaves.
If Jiang Pengji dislikes that they can eat, in order to save money, she can kill them here.
Not only are their lives saved at this moment, they are also paid to work, and they may even have the opportunity to restore their status as civilians in the future——
Rao Huang Song can't fault it.
Jiang Pengji stayed on the mountain to watch the scenery for a while,
Get up and jump off the boulder.
"Go back, it's getting dark."
Everyone went down the mountain and returned, just halfway up the mountain, Huang Song accidentally stepped on something and nearly rolled down.
Jiang Pengji's eyesight was quick and her hand pulled him quickly, scaring Huang Song into a cold sweat.
"Why did you step on the air?"
"There's something under your feet—"
Huang Song took a step back and found a blackened bone exposed where he stepped on before.
Jiang Pengji didn't pay attention to it at first, but when she looked down, she found a patch of green on the ground near the black bone.
She got up and said to the guard, "Dig out the things."
The guards dug very deep, and it took a quarter of an hour to dig out the headless skeleton from the mud. There was a seal next to the skeleton.
Jiang Pengji didn't care about the bones, what she cared about was the seal.
Huang Song glanced at it and said, "The texture of this seal is excellent. Judging from the carving and style, it seems to be from the early period of the Great Xia Dynasty."
The Great Xia Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, and the surrounding small countries surrendered one after another. It was an era of extremely prosperous economy and glamorous and luxurious fashion.
This trend has also affected all walks of life, and many places carry the unique trend of that era.
Even the seals commonly used by Taoism have been affected to some extent.
Jiang Pengji said, "The early days of the Great Xia Dynasty? Taoism was prevalent then?"
This seal is from the same source as the one that Wei Ci is carrying, except for the different seal text, it seems to be cloned.
Huang Song said, "Although it's not a state religion, it's much more pleasing than Buddhist monks."
Buddhism is an imported product, not a native religion.
When the monks were at their most domineering, they almost shook the foundation of the entire society.
When Buddhism was first introduced, it was a bit unacceptable, but when it gained a firm foothold, it became unstoppable.
In order to avoid taxation and military service, the common people privately ordained ordained as monks. Even if you become a monk, your behavior is no different from ordinary people.
Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were occupied for the purpose of building temples. The key is that they did not pay taxes, raised a large number of monks and soldiers, and used countless copper, iron, gold and silver to build Buddha bodies, seriously affecting society. The period of the Sixteen Kingdoms was also the most prosperous and darkest period of Buddhism.
After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Taizu exterminated Buddhism on the advice of Prime Minister Huangfu, destroyed countless temples, confiscated tens of millions of hectares of fertile fields illegally occupied by the temples, confiscated hundreds of thousands of slaves and maidservants, and ordered illegal monks and nuns who did not read DVDs to return to secular life. In addition, the bronze and golden Buddha statues were dismantled, and the materials were used to mint coins or make agricultural tools and weapons, and strict regulations on monkhood were formulated.
After this battle, Buddhism declined, and Taoism quickly rose up with the support of the imperial court.
Of course, some folks say that Prime Minister Huangfu was a registered disciple of Taoism when he was young, so he was very close to Taoism.
After Huang Song's science popularization, not only Jiang Pengji understood, but also the salted fish in the live broadcast room.
[Smuggling into Africa]: Sounds like three martial arts and one sect to exterminate Buddha?
[Fairy Queen's Scarlet]: I thought monks had kind faces... I was confused when I heard that.
[Yiyi Purple Eyes]: The monks in the history of Huaguo have similar virtues.
The audience chattered and discussed, but Jiang Pengji's gaze was always on the seal in her hand.
