Three hundred and ninety-first chapter Mingwu

Under the escort of more than a hundred Qimen cavalry, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin returned to Xinfeng County, which had been away for more than ten days.

As soon as he entered the county gate, Zhang Yue discovered that this small county town had undergone earth-shaking changes after more than ten days of separation.

The entire city has become a construction site!

There are busy craftsmen and mountainous bricks, tiles and wooden beams everywhere.

"Shizhong Zhang and His Highness Changsun are back!" At the city gate, I don't know who shouted, and the whole city came to life in an instant.

Countless people rushed over and lined up on both sides of the road and street to greet them.

Everyone has excitement and pride on their faces!

"The Lord of the Shizhong, the Duke of the Secretariat, will never be able to live in life! Your Highness Changsun is blessed and long-lasting!" Many people shouted loudly and bowed.

For the people of Xinfeng, in the past few decades, they have had enough of the hardships of stupid officials, corrupt officials and mediocre officials!

For decades, this county magistrate and county magistrate have never done anything practical except eating, drinking, having fun and praising each other.

But now, they finally see hope.

The emperor sent His Highness Changsun and a minister to save them.

In the past two months, the changes in Xinfeng County and Xinfeng City have been truly seen.

Especially the people of Xinfeng City, they suddenly gained benefits.

Just during the public examination, everyone made a lot of money.

In recent times, various large-scale construction projects have been carried out in Xinfeng City.

Some Shaofu wanted to build a large workshop in the city, which attracted merchants from all directions and came to Xinfeng City to open a shop.

The young and strong families of each family found a job all at once.

This year I can finally have a comfortable and fat year!

The nations that the people of the Xia Dynasty know the most about being grateful for.

Nothing like this has ever been like this since ancient times.

Back then, Erkuan served as the Left Inner Historian and only built a six-service canal, which made the people and powerful people in the entire capital very grateful. When he heard that Erkuan might be dismissed, he mobilized the whole country to send all the money, grain and taxes to Chang'an in three days.

This made Erkuan not only complete the task of collecting taxes, but even greatly exceeded the amount!

With this political achievement, my son was promoted to the Three Dukes and became the Censor.

Liu Jin was very excited when he saw this situation, and his heart was filled with fighting spirit.

The decadence and frustration that he was contaminated in Chang'an was completely wiped out.

"The people's hearts are available! The people's hearts are available! With this people's hearts, why don't you worry about not extinguishing your great ambitions!" He clenched his fists slightly and thought in his heart.

Ding Yanji Jie Yannian, who was accompanying him, looked at each other in front of him when he saw this situation.

"I didn't expect that Shizhong Zhang actually had such a popular hope in Xinfeng City!!"

"With such morale, what can't be done?"

Jie Yannian and Ding Suang were suddenly excited.

In their opinion, Xinfeng's situation is far better than expected.

And with such a foundation, great things can be accomplished!

However, Zhang Yue was both moved and alert when he saw this situation, and felt like walking on thin ice.

Because he remembered Wang Mang.

When Wang Mang was the first, when the people's hearts and spirits were added to him, they were ten thousand times more awesome than he is now!

In the historical records he looked back, Wang Mang at that time not only impressed the people, but even scholars from the Guliang School, Zuo Zhuan School, and Si Meng School all bowed down and regarded him as the savior, and believed that he was the man who would lead the world forward.

When it was at its peak, Wang Mang said it and the world was in a state of success.

Many aristocratic landlords even betrayed their class and interests and really did things according to Wang Mang's requirements and instructions.

only……

In the end, Wang Mang was destroyed.

The New Dynasty and the ideal of Xingtaiping were destroyed together.

The first thing that stood up to oppose Wang Mang was not even the noble literati and landlords that Zhang Yue once thought, but the people from the bottom.

The common people who cannot survive will not care about how lofty ideals or great ambitions you have.

Chinese farmers have always been you who can’t make me unable to survive, but I will make you unable to survive.

What’s even more tragic is that the one who replaced Wang Mang was actually a regime that was not only corrupt and backward than the forces represented by Wang Mang.

Even a Han Dynasty that even replaced Wang Mang was behind, corrupt and degenerate.

The scholars and nobles began to encircle land.

The political development of aristocratic families is in full swing.

So much so that the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually just a clan dressed in the cloak of the country.

Therefore...

Zhang Yue knew that under the surface of all prosperity, danger always lies hidden.

He must be careful not to be proud.

If you want to not repeat Wang Mang's mistakes, you must not let this public morale eventually become a weapon to kill him.

He can only continue to promote the progress and development of productivity.

Because the economic foundation determines the superstructure.

Wang Mang's failure is because of the failure of the economy and the failure of productivity.

The reform of the new dynasty was not unfeasible, but because it did not have an economic foundation that carried its feasibility.

Simply put, it is rootless duckweed and sourceless water.

It's bubble, it's illusion.

Therefore, Wang Mang's failure was already destined.

And he is now more than a hundred years ahead of Wang Mang, and in this BC era, he advocated peace.

To succeed, you have to start with the basics.

Start with the land yield per mu and per capita income, and try our best to improve productivity and economic level.

With this idea, Zhang Yue's carriage stopped at the county government gate.

Chen Wannian and Sang Jun had already taken all the officials from the county government office to wait at the door.

When they saw Liu Jin and Zhang Yue's carriage, they immediately came forward and said, "I would like to welcome His Highness Changsun, and the Shizhong Gong will return!"

"Thank you all for your hard work..." Liu Jin walked out of the carriage, stepped forward one by one to help everyone up, and comforted him: "I and Zhang Qing, half a month away from Xinfeng, and the affairs of the county are mostly dependent on you..."

"I dare not..." Chen Wannian immediately bowed: "This is my duty!"

At this time, Zhang Yue took Jie Yannian and Ding Yan to come up and said to everyone: "I won't greet you today. Now the autumn harvest is coming soon. Xinfeng's affairs must be dealt with quickly..."

"Chen County Magistrate..." Zhang Yue looked at Chen Wannian and ordered: "Please immediately call the county government office to organize all documents and archives. This official and His Highness Changsun should see the relevant report immediately..."

"No!" Chen Wannian immediately accepted the order when he heard this.

"Sang Ling Li..." Zhang Yue said to Sang Jun again: "Please order the officials to immediately sort out the preparations of the Administration for Industry and Commerce and the relevant situation of the merchants and workshops in the county market..."

"No!" Sang Jun also took the order and left.

"Send someone to notify the county magistrate Hu. I will see the briefing of Xinfeng's case files tonight..." Zhang Yue then ordered: "In addition, notify the officials from all over the county to return to the county town. I will listen to the summary of the affairs of the county..."

After orders were issued one by one, the entire county government immediately entered the working state.
