Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 103 Sheng Mien, Dou Mi Chou

"you will not!"

Zhao Cheng shook his head.

He is reading too much information.

In the long river of history, there are too many such things.

In the 20s and 40s, two devil soldiers could take [-] prisoners of war and send them to the slaughterhouse to be killed.

These people would rather be killed on their knees than resist.

The reason is because there are too many smart people.

Knowing that whoever rises up to resist first will definitely be killed, then everyone will die together.

Not only the Chinese people are like this, but the whole world is the same.

In the early days of World War II, the fighting nation lost on the battlefield, and millions of prisoners were sent to the rear.

There are only a few guards on guard.

Moreover, the environment was harsh along the way, and the death rate was as high as [-] to [-]%.

Even so, no one resisted.

For the same reason, there are too many smart people.

Everyone wants to sit back and enjoy the benefits, and they all want others to resist, so that they can get a chance to survive without taking risks.

"Record this matter, write it into the textbook, and use it as a lesson."

Education saves the country.

Not just teaching language and math, physics and chemistry, these cultural knowledge.

More importantly, it is to transform people's thinking.

Zhao Cheng has the golden finger of the infrastructure system, so of course it is impossible to just pursue being the first emperor.

I dare not say the high-sounding words "with great power comes great responsibility".

At the very least, we must work hard to get this nation out of the vicious cycle of governance and chaos.

Life is a hundred years in a hurry.

Let future generations be prosperous and safe forever.

There is no need to be slaughtered or uprooted when the dynasties change in two or three hundred years, and flee overseas to seek refuge as an inferior existence.

"These captives, let them take a bath, change their clothes, and have a full meal.

Then send them all to work.

The men were sent to dig coal, burn kilns, and build roads.

All women are sent to garment factories, textile factories, and shoe factories.

Remuneration, three meals a day are enough.

Forget about the meat.

Because they are captives, we are their saviors.

Therefore, it is necessary to explain clearly to them that their treatment is different from that of the refugees who came to seek refuge.

They don't get paid.

People's fate is in their own hands.

If they don't fight for themselves, they can only be the bottom people.

Within a year, they couldn't get any food and salary.

Just take care of food, clothes, and a place to live. "

Zhao Cheng was angry with him for not fighting.

"Yes, my lord."

Niu Dali agreed.

"My lord is kind.

These days, if they can eat enough, wear warm clothes, and survive, they are already Bodhisattvas.

It's too late for them to be grateful!
You must remember your kindness, my lord. "

Just as Niu Dali had finished speaking, suddenly, the crowd became restless.

"what happened?"

Zhao Cheng quickly walked over.

I saw that Uncle Laigen was in a state of anxiety.

A group of young adults were shouting loudly.

"Let us go home!"

"We're going home!"

"..."

"My lord, we didn't treat these people badly.

I think they are all our Daming people, and we treat them very well.

He gave them water to drink and steamed buns to eat.

However, they all want to go home. "

Uncle Laigen quickly explained.

He knew that Zhao Cheng had a good impression of the people of Daming, and he was afraid that Zhao Cheng would misunderstand that he treated these people harshly.

"Is it you who want to go home?"

Zhao Cheng glanced over the young and strong.

He saw that many people in the street were busy delivering hot water and hot meals to these people.

These captured young men obviously suffered a lot along the way, their clothes were tattered, and their faces looked hungry.

Now almost everyone is holding steamed buns in their hands and gnawing on them.

Many people took as many steamed buns as possible and hid them in their bosoms while others were not paying attention.

In the clothes, it was bulging.

Zhao Cheng is now in a high position and has his own nobility.

The people around him are respectful to him again.

These captured young men can also see that his identity and status are not low.

Most people lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"What are you afraid of? He is an official of the court, in broad daylight, dare to kill us?"

A thick bearded man stood up.

"My lord, we are going home.

Now it's time to farm.

We are going home to farm.

Sir, please let us go back.

Also, where are my cows?

Sir, please let me move the cattle away. "

Zhao Cheng remained calm and glanced at the bearded man.

"You idiot..."

Niu Dali was upset, and he wanted to reprimand him for standing up.

Zhao Cheng raised his hand and stopped him.

"You mean, the bull was snatched from your house by the Tartars?
Has anything else been robbed in your home? "

"Have!"

Seeing that Zhao Cheng seemed to be easy to talk to, the bearded man became more courageous.

"I still have a lot of food, which was stolen by the Tartars."

"Food? You don't want me to pay for your food, do you?

Even if the Tartars robbed you of your food, you should have eaten a lot these days, right?
People eat horse chews, it consumes a lot!

This time the Tartars are knocking on the border on a small scale, and they dare not be too presumptuous in our Xuanfu territory.

The things that were robbed were mainly relatively light gold and silver.

They don't seem to bring much heavy food. "

Zhao Cheng asked back.

"But when they left the village, a torch burned all the food and houses left!
We don't think adults are short of food, so they give us white flour steamed buns.

Just do it, give us some more food! "

The bearded man said.

"Oh? Am I short of food, does it have anything to do with you?

I am generous and give you white flour and steamed buns. If you don't know how to be grateful, it's fine.

Think I should give you some more? "

Zhao Cheng was amused.

Sure enough, it was Sheng Mien, Dou Michou!
"My lord, if you do good deeds to the end, give us more, and we will miss you!
Moreover, this food is nothing to you.

For us, it is a lifesaver! " said the bearded man.

"Yes, my lord.

We are going back this way, and we have to eat on the way.

After returning, you have to farm.

Now that the ground has just been tidied up, it is time to sow seeds.

Our house was burned by the Tartars.

After returning, if the spring planting is delayed and the harvest fails this year, we will not be able to survive! "

"Don't talk so much nonsense to him.

If he dares not give us food, we will make trouble.

He is the official of the imperial court.

If our 5000 people get into trouble, it will be a civil uprising.

He couldn't eat and walked around. "

"Yes, if you don't give us food, we will cause trouble, and you will not be able to continue as an official."

"He has so much food, he can let us eat white flour steamed buns casually...

Don't be afraid, everyone.If there is trouble, he will definitely be willing to spend money and avoid disaster! "

"These dog officials, in order to keep their black hats, they are absolutely willing to pay."

"Food! Give us food! Let us go home!"

"..."

Someone took the lead, and Zhao Cheng looked weak and easy to talk, and more and more people made trouble.

Soon, everyone was clamoring.

"Aren't you crazy?"

Zhao Cheng spoke, his voice was cold.

"Give you food?

Who knows if you had food before?

Could it be that I will give you as much food as you say you want? "

"Do you care how much food we had originally?

That is not important!
You give us food now, so that we can eat, drink, and have seeds. If we can persist until the new food comes down, we will leave.

If you don't give it to us, we will make trouble.

You don't want to be an official! "

The bearded man took the lead in shouting.

Now, he has a faint tendency to be a crowd leader.

A hundred calls.

This feeling is simply too good, let his adrenaline rush.

"Yes! We want to live!"

"Da Zhuang is right.

The dog officer made it impossible for us to survive, so we will do our best. "

"This dog officer doesn't look like he has good intentions.

How could he be willing to spend his own money to give us white flour and steamed buns?
Let me say, this is definitely the disaster relief food given by the imperial court, and he withheld it. "

"Makes sense! It must be so."

"Dog officer! Kill the dog officer! Take back our food!"

"Damn the dog officer! How dare you steal our food!"

"..."

I don't know who shouted, and immediately ignited the anger of everyone.

It must be so!
How can there be such a good thing as giving them white steamed buns for no reason?
It must be that the dog officials corrupted their relief food.

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Cheng raised his head and laughed.

He really has never been so angry as today.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

The point is, the selfish human nature exploded at this moment.

The extreme selfishness of groups.

It's just horrible.

For a moment, Zhao Cheng even wavered in his thoughts.

Does he still want to save this group?

Is this group worth his effort?
Or simply use the system to overthrow the Ming court, become an emperor by yourself, and enjoy this life while you are young.

After his death, let him be flooded, turn the world upside down.

Zhao Cheng knows the trajectory of history.

Daming is getting more and more difficult, except for the emperor's brain damage and the gentry's lack of commitment and many other reasons.

Another very important reason is the impact of the Little Ice Age.

The Little Ice Age resulted in unusually cold and long winters.

The climate has been dry for many years.

Natural disasters continue.

During the reign of Chongzhen, the Little Ice Age was at its worst, and it was also coming to an end.

The so-called prosperity of Kangxi, Yongzhou and Qianlong refers to the temporary rationality after the overthrow of the social order and the redistribution of resources.

It is also after the end of the Little Ice Age, the weather is smooth and rainy, plus the dividends of the promotion of high-yield crops corn and sweet potatoes.

As long as Zhao Cheng is the emperor now, pay attention to exercising and taking good care of his body, he will be fine until the end of the Little Ice Age.

At the same time, concubines were selected from all over the world, and there were 72 concubines in the Sixth Court of Sangong, and more sons were born.

Choose a smart one and train him to be a prince...

So cool!

"I can't stand it!

You white-eyed wolves! "

Niu Dali next to him was enraged, and with a loud roar, he stepped forward and smashed the butt of his gun directly on the forehead of the bearded burly man.

The bearded man fell to the ground with blood flowing from the impact.

"You still dare to hit someone?"

"The dog officer is beating someone!"

"We fought them!"

"..."

With this move, the crowd immediately clamored.

"Back off! Back off!"

Niu Dali shouted loudly.
