Chapter 2436 Civilian Envoys(2/2)
Huan Dian did not see the boats in Xuanwu Pond, but first saw the public carriages operating between Qinglong Temple and Chang'an, as well as the counties around Chang'an.
There are private carriages and horses for rent in Sanfu, Chang'an. This is normal. There are also public carriages in Xu County. However, Sanfu, Chang'an also operates public carriages. At a fixed location, fixed route, and scheduled departure, a carriage can seat up to ten people.
Or if you are willing to squeeze in, you can stand a few more times. As long as there is space, you can go up by standing on the side of the street and waving. The speed is not fast, after all, the carts are pulled by old horses.
After the initial feeling that Fei Qian was a prodigal subsided, Huan Dian really thought about the benefits of these public carriages. Ordinary gentry children would not ride in this type of public carriage, nor would they be willing to squeeze in with others.
But ordinary people are willing. Maybe people who originally lived near Chang'an would not take this public carriage, but other people in more remote areas like it very much.
Because these public carriages provide convenience, they also shorten the transportation time in surrounding counties. In the past, most people had to walk to go to the market. They had to get up early in the morning and then go to the late market. They often arrived at the market at noon.
I went to the market and had to rush back to buy something. If I was delayed a little bit, I wouldn't be able to get home even after dark.
Under such circumstances, unless it is really necessary, these people who are further away are not willing to go out to go to the market. With the fixed public carriage, they can go out in the morning and return home faster at noon, and they don’t have to worry.
He was robbed halfway, after all, he was riding a public carriage under the name of a hussar.
As a result, more and more people participate in the market, and the market becomes wider and wider. Most of the counties in Guanzhong and Sanfu have increased their number from two to four per month, and some even to eight.
, and then the shops and goods under Fei Qian's name became more and more popular.
Then the farmers in Sanfu, Guanzhong, began to come out. When Huan Dian saw some farmers starting to collect some handmade items in the village, and took a public carriage to sell large packages and large boxes, he felt that the Qiaoqi
While the world of the people of the land was declining, a hint of fear also arose.
Although he doesn't know exactly where this fear comes from?
It's like Huan Dian couldn't understand that the Cavalry General actually let people learn some knowledge at will.
How can a peasant boy learn scriptures?!
This was such a ridiculous thing in Yuzhou, but in Sanfu, Chang'an, Huan Dian saw that it was actually happening. On the long bluestone in front of the bookstore, there are copybooks and sandboxes that can be borrowed for free. You can use tree branches to
Or simply use your fingers to learn to write in the sandbox.
What made him feel even more uneasy was that there were actually some children near ordinary houses. When they gathered to play with each other, they shouted out some sentences in a clear voice, similar to what knowing is knowing, saying what is said, etc., etc.
Huan Dian almost felt an inexplicable panic, as if he had lost something very valuable without knowing it.
Then Huan Dian began to understand a little bit about the poor children who gradually lost contact with their own clans, because this place is indeed a heretic. The longer he stays, the more he feels the difference from Shandong.
Because in the final analysis, this is just the result of human nature's pursuit of profit. Those children from poor families are also human beings, and naturally they cannot escape the word human desire. The so-called excellence in learning leads to officialdom. On the surface, most people say that they are serving the country and the people. But in fact
It's more about his own fame and fortune.
It is basically difficult for these children from poor families to succeed in studying and becoming officials in the original clan, because these children from poor families are subject to too many restrictions. As long as there are children from the master's family in front, even if they are very good,
They may not get a chance to show off, let alone get a high position. But now they are under the Third Assistant of Chang'an, but they have given these poor disciples a brand new path, no, many brand new paths.
In the past, there were only scriptures, but now it is not just scriptures, but also agriculture and industry, arithmetic, astronomy, geography, etc. Even if you are not interested in these, if you go to Hu Di to be an enlightenment envoy, you will definitely be able to work as a preacher when you come back in three to five years.
Junior officials, if you want to live a decent life, you no longer have to look at the faces of certain people within your own clan, take care of certain people's children, and give up opportunities and positions that should originally belong to you.
Suppressing bandits, launching construction projects, providing disaster relief, relieving refugees, repairing water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads, rewarding industry and commerce, supporting farmers, building schools, promoting education, public welfare, etc. These are all very costly and may not be completed in a short period of time.
How much profit can be produced? The fact that if the local officials in the past could conscientiously do one or two things like this when they were in office, even if they only do one-tenth of what Fei Qian is doing now, it would be enough to show that he is a good official.
, which made all the people in the county burst into tears of gratitude. They gave umbrellas to all the people and built a shrine to worship him.
Not to mention that since General Hussar entered Guanzhong, the lives of the people in Sanfu Land have been getting better day by day. Not only has the people in Guanzhong become better, Fei Qian has also taken in a large number of refugees from other places, making
They can settle down and settle down again, with food to eat and clothing to wear. Although Sanfu in Guanzhong is still not a place of saints and sages, they can not pick up things on the road or close their homes at night, but the lives of the people have indeed become better. This is
A fact that cannot be erased.
