Chapter 130: Twenty Thousand

Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui have different ideas about being an official. Although they are also avoiding corrupt officials and also aversion to land annexation, fundamentally, the gap in their ideas is too big.

Hai Rui is a textbook official. In addition to strictly abide by traditional morality, he also has superb governance methods, unparalleled flexibility and courage to hate evil, but he cannot be the chief minister or the prime minister. He is a first-class official, but he does not have the ability to coordinate and command all officials.

As for Zhang Juzheng, there are not many people who can surpass him in the Ming Dynasty, and they do not value private morality. Even in his position, private morality serves politics.

His way of being an official has nothing to do with personal morality, and it is more like being hungry outside. Even if you are an official drinks water and eats bad vegetables all day long, you are not a good official. If you are a rich family, you are an official even if you are a big fish and meat listening to music and enjoying music every day, you are still a good official.

But from Chen Mu himself, he felt that neither of them was bad, especially these two people, who could make the people live a good life, but the difference was that the former often suffered when they were alive, and would be praised only when they died; the latter was praised only when they were alive, and would be punished only when they died.

Zou Yuanbiao's excited footsteps sounded from far to near. This Ming Dynasty Jinshi had become accustomed to the relatively relaxed attitude of the Asian strategy of the Eastern Military Mansion to him. He was not really angry when scolded ten thousand times, and his etiquette was even more casual. He had already heard the sound of people before they could enter the room.

"Master, the small county has raised 60,000 stones of food and grass. As long as you rob twelve from Xiyi, no, 100,000 stones can survive this..."

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zou Yuanbiao. This guy has become more and more arrogant recently. Look at the words he uses? Is it wrong?

What is false?

Can the affairs of the court be called "Ever"? If Hai Rui hadn't been here, Chen Mu would have had his personal soldiers ask who the magistrate Changsheng had been with whom he had been together recently.

Zou Yuanbiao's young face was filled with unparalleled joy. When he pushed the door in and saw that the guest had a voice suddenly stopped. He was not surprised to see the guest wearing a robe. He greeted him with a smile and said with a relaxed voice: "Student Zou Yuanbiao, Changsheng County Magistrate, has met the adults."

Hai Rui bowed: "Hai Gangfeng, you are polite."

As Chen Mu saw with his own eyes, ten thousand expressions flashed across Zou Yuanbiao's face at that moment.

Half of the official hat was rebuilt to the gradually bald head, his flamboyant little hand slowly retracted into his sleeve, his slightly slid shoulders slowly straightened, and he stepped out of the soap boots on the hem of the official robe and recycled them inch by inch, until he looked dignified and decent.

Zou Yuanbiao became honest in the shadow of a person's famous tree.

"Students don't know that Hai Gong is in person..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit honestly - Hai Gong, how many days do I have to do?"

Hai Rui did not blame the lively Zou Yuanbiao, nor did he directly answer Chen Mu's question. Instead, he asked: "I just sounded like Chen Shuai was planning to buy food and grass from the Western Yi?"

The second phase of the transportation of the army was still in Jincheng, and Hai Rui came first. Chen Mu is very concerned about Jincheng's affairs now, especially after knowing the ins and outs of the situation at sea, he is even more worried about what problems will happen if the people gather in Jincheng or gather in Changsheng in the future.

"Yes, the county has insufficient food and grass, not only for the people, but also for the food and grass of the banner army in our headquarters. The Westerners occupy a large area of ​​land, so their food must be surplus. They bought it to overcome this dilemma."

Chen Mu said slowly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that the Westerners don't have much food to store. If it doesn't meet the needs of our people, this time the imperial court sent vagrants from four provinces, which really caught Chen off guard."

Who would have thought? The Beiyang Second-phase Flag Army, which was originally waiting for seven or eight thousand people, was waiting for the moon, but it was a matter of being here, but Wu Yangyang was going to have 100,000 people. Who could bear it?

"Ship Chen is so worried, I can share the worries of the military government."

"There will be a little confusion when it rashly pours into the 30,000 households in the people. The magistrate Wu of Jincheng has discussed with me and left 6,000 households to be naturalized; the 3,000 households in the people will be given a stone of rice and grain according to the mouth, and ordered him to follow Ma Shuai to open the three townships eastward, and another 500 households were placed on the mine that was poached in Jincheng by Wu."

The big problem in Chen Mu's eyes was just a small problem in Hai Rui's eyes. Nearly 10,000 households were placed in Jincheng in a blink of an eye.

"Even so, more than 20,000 households arrived in Changsheng County in a few days. At that time, the magistrate Zou would need to trouble the county magistrate to prepare 60,000 shi of rice and grain, 30,000 shi were sent to the people, and 30,000 shi were left to the county government."

"In addition, here the hot place is hot, and Chen Shuai needs to mobilize the salted sauce cakes from military rations to prevent people from suffering from heatstroke."

"The grain market is stored, and the market price is average, and the people have no worries about food and consumption. Those who need to worry only pour into the crowd and cause chaos." Hai Rui said: "There are many soldiers in the Beiyang army, and Chen Shuai should be able to suppress it."

In fact, after Hai Rui told the people of Jincheng who shared the 9,500 households, Chen Mu's burden suddenly became relaxed.

He never put Jincheng in response, because the letter from Wu Zhongxing clearly expressed that he was frightened by the huge number of immigrants in the Ming Dynasty.

The influx of 30,000 households is indeed a big trouble for the unprepared Changsheng County, but if this number becomes 20,000 households, it will be just a small trouble. If it can be reduced to 10,000 households, it will not only be without trouble, but will provide great help to the county.

"There will be no chaos in 20,000 households." Chen Mu shook his head arbitrarily and said, "In the past few days, I and my staff have made an emergency plan to resettle the people. As long as the people's desires can be preserved, Changsheng County will not starve to death - this fertile land is enough to support everyone."

There was a huge hanging map hanging behind the main seat of Chen Mu, drawing the entire Asia map that he knew so far. He said that he picked up the bamboo whip leaning against the leg of the stool and pointed at the dot on the map and said, "Hai Gong is new, I'm afraid he doesn't know how much land the Ming Dynasty has obtained in Asia. This is an eternal victory."

"Five thousand miles north along the coast is the border county, and one thousand seven hundred miles north along the coast is Jincheng, and six thousand miles north along the coast is Majiagang. These lands go east and split this picture from the middle, all of which are from the Ming Dynasty."

In terms of area, this land is no longer much smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty.

To support one hundred thousand more people? More than enough!

"Hai Gong came here today to give Chen a calm pill. The affairs behind him were complicated. More than 10,000 local people in Changsheng County were enough to make Zou County busy. At this time, the affairs were complicated. Changji and others in the military mansion had no experience in governing the hundred miles alone."

"The matter of attracting the people later depends on the general situation of the Haigong General. It is necessary to let every person have a place to go and start a new life in Asia."

"You will come to resettle the people and unify the idea of ​​immigrating to the whole day." Chen Mu said, pointing his head and said, "For me, when they come here, they cannot forget to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism."
