Chapter seven hundred and fourth people
It is the late winter, and the cold winter in Liao Province is even more bitter than that in the capital.
Compared with the scene of Chenyang Prefecture when the Emperor pacified the Later Jin Dynasty, even if the wind and snow are everywhere in the sky, many differences can be clearly seen.
To be very clear, this Liao Province is almost forbidden by the hustle and bustle of prosperity that is forcibly forged by the power of the country.
Rather than the hustle and bustle of the people spontaneously reproduction and growth, and slowly expanding the living space.
In this way, what is visible and clearest is order and norm.
The connection between roads, the location of villages and towns, and even the population of each village and town, the distribution of school buildings, and the location of cities...
Everything is clearly visible to the existence of the imperial court's normative order.
Instead of other places in the world, people live in centralized or scattered, which makes it more difficult to manage.
The official roads are all paved with cement, and there are endless pedestrians and business trips on the road. The official roads that are open and bustle between the ice and snow are quite unique.
After walking for about ten miles ahead of the official road, I saw a village located on the side of the official road. The village was obviously quite different from the villages that the emperor saw.
Houses with obviously similar specifications and house layouts that look quite orderly at first glance clearly prove that this is obviously a resettlement village migrating from other places.
The emperor tied the reins, turned over and got off the horse, and walked towards a brick house at the entrance of the village.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were disguised as the emperor also moved with him. Some followed the emperor and some dispersed to the four directions to warn him, and everything was in order.
When the door opened, it was not surprising that it was a look of horror and worry.
The emperor did not show any kindness of being close to the people. He looked around the decorations in the house, and finally put down the string in his heart.
The decorations inside the house are very simple, including earthen kang, earth stove, iron pot, rice jar...
This is true for ordinary farmhouse decorations.
It is also the basic survival needs of the people.
But what the emperor will never forget is the scene when he was still a Duke of Qin, when he visited the Martial Arts Academy and went to a village to rest on his way back to the capital.
At the foot of the emperor, he does not cover his body, does not eat, and does not shelter from wind and rain.
That was the common survival scene of the people in the world back then.
Since that time, whether the emperor inspected or visited privately, he has never been to the people's homes again.
Now that more than ten years have passed, Da Heng can barely be regarded as Cathay and people's peace.
This time the emperor inspected, he stepped into the homes of the people along the way one after another during the inspection.
This is the first in Liao Province.
Under natural disasters, the people suffer.
After migrating thousands of miles, the people are still suffering.
Migration and resettlement, living in a foreign land, the suffering should be over, and the sweetness should be coming.
This is what the emperor is concerned about in his heart.
The imperial court invested a huge amount of financial and material resources in Liao Province every year, and if this most basic point was not guaranteed.
In the mind of the emperor, his grand plan for Liao Province would inevitably be a waste of time.
This is also the most fundamental purpose of the emperor's trip to Liao Province.
He wanted to see if his plan for Liao Province was really implemented, and what was the real situation in Liao Province.
"Big...sir..."
The old man stammered and couldn't even explain clearly.
The thin young man and an old woman were even more trembling and unable to hide her fear.
"I... I am the imperial censor. I went to Liao Province and was ordered by Your Majesty to inspect the resettlement of the people. So I came to disturb you. Don't blame me."
As soon as the emperor said this, several people in the room immediately fell to the ground.
"See the censor!"
"No gift."
The emperor waved his hand, but his eyes were still looking around the room.
There are still new signs of new construction houses. Although the farm tools are old, they are all available. In the corners of the house, there are still a pile of firewood and a pile of honeycomb coal that has become popular all over the world since the capital.
The iron pot was steaming hot, and several steamed buns that were as big as fists in the pot were clearly visible. There were a few plates of pickles and a few bowls of rice porridge on the table.
The earthen kang is covered with thatch and two quilts are piled up. The family standing respectfully is also wrapped in thick cotton jackets.
If it weren't for this place, the emperor would have pointed it out on the map at will, and the emperor would have doubted whether the scene in front of him had been arranged in advance.
"You are not locals, aren't you?"
Looking around, the emperor asked casually.
"Sir, the younger one is from Fengxiang, who was arranged to move here last year."
The old man replied immediately.
The emperor asked again: "After moving here, have the resettlement treatment stipulated by the court implemented?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, with a hesitation on his face, but soon nodded and said:
"All have been implemented, all have been implemented."
The emperor's eyes flashed, but he did not expose the old man's words in front of him.
In the officialdom, geese have always plucked their hair. In the Ming Dynasty, 10% of the things that can be implemented at the bottom of the ranks will be considered a blessing from heaven.
In Daheng today, the emperor's requirements are not high. If it is 10% or 70% or 80% of the requirements, the emperor will be satisfied.
Of course, this is tolerant in secret, and it is taken to the open, and it will be handled as it should be done.
The emperor's concept of governing the country is very clear. The court rules are there. It is okay to not abide by them, but the premise of not abide by them is that no one can notice them, or it can be avoided by others.
Once discovered and picked up on the surface, the imperial court's majesty will not be challenged at all!
Black and white are hard to distinguish, so we must forge a white Pure Land and Majesty!
If you are black, you will always hide in the darkness and never think about living openly.
At other times, the emperor could not control it, but during his Zhaowu period, this was his rule.
The emperor glanced at Li Ruolian on the side, and with a look, Li Ruolian immediately bowed and left.
The emperor was still chatting with the family in front of him.
Speaking of which, since he entered the Yongwei Camp, the emperor... should be said to have crossed the class and had already had a gap between heaven and earth with these lower-level people.
It seems that it should be said that it has been separated from the people for too long.
The concepts and policies of governing the country were formulated only by relying on the impressions of the people they came into contact with more than ten years ago.
It seems that being separated from the people for too long is also a dangerous signal.
The emperor looked back and then remembered that this time he was in a private visit, and all the princes were still not accompanying the Chenyang Palace.
At this time, the princes must have been dressed in a rich and frugal manner, resting in the palace under the service of many servants.
Why are the people?
To them, it should be just a very illusory noun.
Why is the world?
For them, it should be just a synonym for rights.
The emperor frowned slightly, but soon, he relaxed.
He still has time and power, and it is still in his hands. What about the prince? Just like the world in front of him, he can still shape it as he pleases...
