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

Chapter 201 Yellow robe and body
The street lights are bright, illuminating the street like daytime.

Another group of soldiers patrolled back and forth, and Miao Xu felt very at ease.

"I am back!"

Going home, Miao Xu yelled first.

In the past, he acted submissively, but recently, he has become more and more high-spirited.

Being able to support the family and enable the whole family to live a good life... This is his confidence.

"My husband is back! Has my husband eaten?"

The lady of the Miao family came out of the room and tidied up Jingchai.

Under the light, you can see the lady's hair is smooth and shiny, which makes Miao Xu's heart flutter, and he is a little ready to move.

The habit here is that people seldom take a bath, even in summer, it is rare to wash their hair once.

There is a saying that if you don't take a bath for three days, you have to keep your vitality.

In everyone's opinion, taking a bath is debilitating.

But Mr. Zhao attaches great importance to hygiene, not just building a large number of public toilets.

Moreover, a large number of militia family members were hired to wear red vests and clean up the streets.

During the day, cartloads of dust, waste, and human and animal defecation were pulled out of the city.

The street has become clean and refreshing.

Mr. Zhao is also very important to the personal hygiene of the people, requiring everyone to take a bath at least twice a week.

Walking on the street, you are not allowed to be unkempt, otherwise, someone will come up and beat you with a stick.

In the words of Mr. Zhao, people are not easy to get sick until they are clean.

"Have you taken a shower?"

"Ok!"

"This is very good. My lord said that now is the critical period of epidemic prevention. Huang Taiji's army has been dragged down by the pimple disease. They can do everything, and they may even send people who are infected with pimple disease. Come to town.

Now is the busy season in Liaodong, and it is impossible for all of us to stay out of the city.So, we have to take care of ourselves..."

Miao Xu, blah blah, took the opportunity to preach.

The lady of the Miao family listened carefully, nodding obediently from time to time.

She knows best how to be a wife, which is to make her man feel fulfilled.

The lady of the Miao family helped Miao Xu burn the water for washing his feet.

Miao Xu had been busy all day, and his feet were soaked.

The main reason is that he usually regards himself as a scholar and is too lazy to move much.

But recently, I have been busy with the assessment of adverse property, and I have to go around the city to see and ask important properties in person.

"Hiss...comfortable! I walk more in one day than I usually do in a year."

Miao Xu took a breath of air between his teeth.

Then, drunk, he felt sick to his stomach.

"My husband has a lot of entertainment, but it shouldn't be too hard. Drinking alcohol should be moderate. Otherwise, I will feel distressed."

The lady quickly brought another wooden basin and put it beside her.

Miao Xu smiled and waved his hand.

"No need! I ate all good things today, kebabs, you can't spit it out, spit it out, it's a waste."

"Is it the kebab of the old five? My son is really promising. I heard that near the Dazheng Hall, there was a wounded and retired soldier who opened a kebab shop. It was full of guests just after opening. Pedestrians walked on the street When you put it on, you can smell the fragrant barbecue smell, it is really fragrant!"

The old lady listened outside the door with a relieved tone.

The son is promising, and the happiest thing is to be a mother.

"Yes, mother. It's Lao Wu's barbecue. Before eating this barbecue, my child really couldn't imagine, how could there be such a delicious thing in this world? You will also eat it tomorrow. If three people eat it, it will only cost two or three." Yuan, you can eat well."

Miao Xu was full of confidence.

Two or three yuan food stamps, equivalent to copper coins, are always more.

He always eats a lot at a meal, and Miao Xu would never have dared to think about it before.

Now, with a big wave of his hand, he doesn't care.

He is a member of the Adversity Management Evaluation Committee, and he has 1000 yuan of food coupons for a month's salary!

After thinking about it carefully, even if he eats the fifth child every day, he can still afford it.

Thinking of this, Miao Xu became very angry.

"It's all good days brought to us by the adults! I hope that the adults will be the emperor and sit in the mountains and rivers, so that this good life will continue."

Miao Xu's heart was warm.

After drinking a cup of tea, I started to stay up all night writing notes.

Tomorrow, he will try again.

……

"Farming can't be delayed. It's the busy farming season in Liaodong, and the surrounding black land is so fat that it's oily. If the seeds are sown, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn. If you delay the farming season, it's a sin! God will punish you! "

The city is gradually getting on the right track.

In the Dazheng Hall, Zhao Chenggao sat on it, and the topic he focused on today was farming.

It's a pity that Xu Guangqi is not here, otherwise, Zhao Cheng wouldn't have to worry so much, as long as he entrusts the task to Xu Guangqi, he just needs to support Xu Guangqi.

Thinking of Xu Guangqi, Zhao Cheng was a little worried about Xu Guangqi's body.

In history, Xu Guangqi will die in less than a year.

He took Xu Guangqi to a strong place and used modern medical technology to examine and treat Xu Guangqi. I don't know if it will work?
"However, farming and epidemic prevention cannot be in conflict. The most important thing to prevent is that Huang Taiji sent people to poison."

Huang Taiji had already done this kind of thing in Guihua City.

However, Zhao Cheng rebounded, which directly caused the Eight Banners army to completely disintegrate.

Now that Zhao Cheng has occupied Shengjing City and Hetuala, Huang Taiji can't help Zhao Cheng in military affairs, and he will repeat the old tricks in all likelihood.

"My lord, the Jurchens have occupied Shengjing City for more than ten years, and they have been operating in Hetuala for even longer. Although your lord has a great plan to defeat Huang Taiji and regain Shengjing City and Hetuala, there are many Jurchens villages outside the city. There is no shortage of Jurchen hunters in the mountains. If they are determined to poison them, unless we close the city gates and cut off the inside and outside, otherwise, we may be unable to defend against them!"

Yu Hu said.

Zhao Cheng gave Yu Hu a surprised look.

Being able to say these words shows that Yu Hu has a good understanding of the situation in Liaodong!

"You are very good!" Zhao Cheng nodded and praised Yu Hu, "To be a general, you should know yourself, your enemy, the terrain and the local situation."

Then, Zhao Cheng said:
"Severing the inside and the outside is definitely not enough. We own a large area of ​​land, but now the two cities add up to only [-] in total.

With us alone, the land cannot be planted at all, and we must recruit people.If we want to develop rapidly, we cannot do without population. "

This is not an age of peace.

Shengjing's position is good or bad.

It can be said to be the land of the Four Wars.

To the west and north, there are Mongols and Jurchens, and Huang Taiji's army may reorganize and counterattack at any time.

To the southwest, there is the Ming Frontier Army.

At this time, Daming still has good generals.

Zu Dashou is sitting in Jinzhou and has the courage to counterattack.

In the territory of Daming, thieves are everywhere.

Now is the critical moment for all parties to compete for supremacy. Whether it is the Tartars, the Ming court, or all kinds of rogues, they are all desperately grabbing territory and plundering young men.

At this time, if Zhao Cheng closed himself in Shengjing City, he would become self-styled.

"First of all, to make sure, in order to prevent Huang Taiji from being poisoned, we must be cautious about the entry of foreigners into the city.

I decided to build a new village outside Shengjing City.Every hundred households is a new village, and the number of villages is not limited.

All migrants must enter the new village and live in the new village.After a hundred days, if the whole village has no problems, they will be eligible to enter the city. "

"My lord is holy!"

Miao Xu took the lead in singing.

He admired Zhao Cheng from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord is such a fantastic idea! I don't know how I came up with this idea. To build a new village outside Shengjing City and attract people... In this way, people will plant land for us and prevent them from entering the city to spread the disease. Wonderful! Really! Wonderful! The subordinates thought this was an unsolvable problem, so the adults solved it easily!"

Zhao Cheng was a little dumbfounded.

Looking at Miao Xu's appearance, could it be that his number one sycophant is about to be born?

Once this scholar puts down his face and starts flattering others, he is really a professional counterpart!
Theoretically speaking, Zhao Cheng doesn't like flatterers, and he also knows that such an atmosphere is bad.

However, being flattered in public, this feeling is really very comfortable!
Sure enough, it is thousands of clothes and ten thousand clothes, but flattery does not wear clothes.

"Master is wise!"

All the soldiers shouted loudly.

Zhao Cheng nodded.

"The next most important thing is to prevent epidemics and sanitation; the first is to cultivate in time, so as not to miss the farming time and let the good land go to waste; the other is to prepare for war and prepare to take Tieling."

Tieling is the land where Jiannu raised horses, and if we take Tieling, we will cut off a leg of the Jurchens.

Zhao Cheng talked eloquently and made arrangements.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to end the meeting, Miao Xu stood up again.

"My lord, my subordinates ask you to plan for the people, for the soldiers, and for the common people in the world. Please stand on your own feet!"

Miao Xu's voice was clear and bright, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring.

"My lord, fuck it! The old emperor in the capital can't even defeat the Jurchens, why should he be emperor? I, Niu Dali, will be the first to refuse!" Niu Dali yelled.

"My lord, the Ming court is exhausted, the world is full of refugees, and Liaodong is even more lost! My lord, you are what everyone expects!" An Qiang said.

"My lord, we only had a few hundred people at the beginning, so we dared to attack Xuanfu Town. That son of a bitch, Shen Chen, hid in the city and didn't even dare to show his head. Now, we have tens of thousands of soldiers, and we are going to the Ming court to kill the emperor's old man." It's just a matter of one word from you to take my son off the throne!"

"..."

A group of powerful soldiers became more and more excited as they talked.

They can't wait for Zhao Cheng to immediately agree to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

"I just want to do something for the world. I don't intend to be an emperor! You don't need to mention this matter anymore!"

Zhao Cheng left a word and walked away.

The remaining civil and military soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Committee Miao, what's going on? Your lord seems to really have no intention of being emperor!" Niu vigorously scratched the back of his head.

He felt, did Miao Xu really think too much?

"Even if your lord has no intention, we must make your lord the emperor. Ladies and gentlemen, the example of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong is right before our eyes! It's only been a few years! Once Yuan Shuai and Mao Shuai died, the generals under them also had a narrow escape. The common people in Liaodong are devastated!

For the sake of the common people, for the future of the soldiers, even if the adults don't have such thoughts, we as subordinates must help the adults to sit on the throne!Big deal, we follow Song Taizu's yellow robe and add body! "

Miao Xu's face was firm and righteous.

"Yes! Let's add a yellow robe to the adult!" Niu Dali also waved his fist excitedly.

……

Zhao Cheng refused again, one very important reason was that he wanted to see the reaction of his soldiers.

He has no idea of ​​becoming emperor immediately.

However, he is preparing to form a new government.

Zhao Cheng now has money and a system, and in terms of military affairs, he doesn't care about all enemies.

The biggest problem is the human heart.

The chaos in the late Ming Dynasty was definitely one of the most chaotic situations in history.

The gentry interest groups are united, thieves are everywhere, natural disasters continue, plagues are rampant, and the imperial power does not go to the countryside...

There are too many questions!
Zhao Cheng has never worried about the military.

To be honest, in the east at the end of Ming Dynasty, there was no overly powerful army.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was just pulling out generals from within. His individual combat effectiveness was not considered outstanding in history, and the number of troops was not large.

Even so, Man Qing had the last laugh.

Even if Zhao Cheng didn't have a system, based on his previous life experience, he was sure that he could pull up a team and sweep the world.

But how to make this country, this nation get on the right track, become civilized, and become powerful is too difficult.

The method used by Man Qing is very simple, which is to kill.

The melee at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the plague, and the massacres after the Manchus entered the customs made the population drop sharply, and the contradiction between the land and the population was greatly eased.

More importantly, the gentry interest groups were afraid of being killed, and were subdued, and did not dare to stumbling with the Manchus.

Coupled with the fact that the Little Ice Age just ended, the Manchus picked up climate dividends.

The combination of several factors led to the so-called prosperity of Kang, Yong and Qian.

Of course, this prosperous age is just for self-entertainment behind closed doors.The West in the Kangxi-Yongqian era has already begun to enter industrial civilization, and the East has lagged far behind.

The path Man Qing took was obviously inappropriate for Zhao Cheng.

Raise the butcher knife and cut the population by more than half?

Wait more than ten years, until the end of the Little Ice Age?

It's all unacceptable to him!
Conquering the world is easy, and military operations are the easiest.

What is difficult is governing the world, how to stabilize people's hearts and form a strong national cohesion.

The difficult thing is how to move towards revival without hurting the vitality of this nation.

Zhao Cheng closed the door and began to write political strategies.

Just as he was busy, he heard a commotion outside.

Zhao Cheng's heart shuddered.

problem occurs?
He quickly put down the pen and paper and walked outside.

As soon as he went out, he saw Niu Dali and a group of people striding forward.

"what's up?"

As soon as Zhao Cheng asked, Niu Dali and Yu Hu came forward with a yellow robe, and wrapped it around Zhao Cheng's body.

Miao Xu held a crown and put it on Zhao Cheng's head.

"Hahaha! How wonderful! My lord is the emperor!" Niu vigorously wrapped the imperial robe around Zhao Cheng.

Then, a group of people knelt in front of them in unison.

"Congratulations to the emperor on his enthronement!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"..."

Zhao Cheng was dumbfounded.
