Chapter 1338

Jiang Pengji ran the army strictly, but the pay and pension benefits for soldiers were second to none among the princes.

She spent half a month dealing with it. In her spare time, she took people out to investigate the terrain of Changye to see where it should be improved.

She not only went by herself, but also took Huang song to her.

"They are all busy, thinking about it, only you are still idle."

Jiang Pengji said calmly, as if she were just talking about today's weather.

Huang song is almost bleeding. At least he was a deadly opponent twenty days ago. Have you forgotten?

Is this a disguised scolding him for idle food?

Jiang Pengji was dressed in a casual wide gown with large sleeves and long sleeves tied with loops, revealing two bare arms.

Now the weather is about to enter late autumn. Huang song feels chilly when she looks at her dress and wants to stay away from her.

Jiang Pengji was wearing broad toothed clogs at her feet, followed by a Huang song, and behind her stood more than 20 guards with knives.

They climbed to the top of the nearby mountain and looked down. They could see the continuous orderly barracks.

"Now Changye is a desolate place, but I heard that it used to be a county with abundant grain." Jiang Pengji took a look, ignored the frightened eyes of the guards, climbed up the stone on the top of the mountain, stood higher and looked further, "BOGO, do you know this?"

Huang song's scalp was numb when she saw her death. He immediately stepped back and cleared the suspicion.

He doesn't want to be misunderstood and wants to murder Jiang Pengji. It's estimated that he hasn't murdered yet. They have rushed up and hanged themselves.

"I've heard of some. It's said that the rain poured back, causing the plague -"

Jiang Pengji said, "the terrain here is low. If you encounter a rare rainstorm and the waterway is blocked, it is really easy to let the river pour back."

Natural disasters continue to occur in Dongqing. Neither drought nor waterlogging can guarantee that there will be no more rare heavy rain in Changye.

To develop here, this problem must be solved.

If the place of Changye can be managed well, it will also be a grain producing county in the future, and there will always be not too many such things as grain.

In this era, grain prices hurt farmers, but it is a kind of happiness. The most terrible thing is that there is not enough food.

Huang song glanced and asked, "what is Lanting going to do?"

Jiang Pengji said, "drain the river and nourish fertility."

Because ancient tools were very backward, in order to make up for this, we must send a lot of manpower and labor.

According to the previous methods, Jiang Pengji recruited refugees nearby for work relief, which can not only solve the problem of local public security, but also solve the livelihood of the people, but also do not delay the construction of various projects. For Changye, it is natural to do the same.

Just

Changye is a deserted place, not to mention refugees. It's hard to see even a living person.

If it is developed here, Jiang Pengji must allocate manpower from other places.

This is another expense. It will take time to transfer people.

"I'm going to clean up and screen the prisoners of war..."

It's a prisoner of war. Isn't it Huang song's former army?

Jiang Pengji plans to absorb young and strong prisoners of war, expand the barracks, and leave the rest as labor.

Of course, even if they are prisoners of war, Jiang Pengji plans to pay them, but the pay is only half of that of normal labor.

At the end of the construction period here, these prisoners can stay as residents of Changye or choose to return home.

Huang Song said, "just make a decision in Lanting."

In his opinion, Jiang Pengji's means were gentle and kind. If she put it aside, the prisoners of war would be killed when there was a shortage of rice before.

Prisoners of war are not human beings, and their social status is lower than that of slaves.

If Jiang Pengji dislikes that they can eat, she can kill them here in order to save money.

At present, they not only save their lives, but also pay them for their work. In the future, they even have the opportunity to restore their civilian status——

Rao is Huang song and can't pick anything wrong.

Jiang Pengji stayed on the mountain and watched the scenery for a while. She got up and jumped off the boulder.

"Go back, it's getting dark."

The people came back from the mountain. Just halfway up the mountain, Huang song accidentally stepped on something and nearly rolled down.

Jiang Pengji pulled him quickly, and Huang song burst into a cold sweat.

"Why did you step empty?"

"There's something under your feet -"

Huang song stepped aside and found a blackened bone exposed where he had stepped before.

Jiang Pengji didn't care at first. When she looked down, she found a piece of green on the ground near the black bone.

She got up and said to the guard, "dig it out."

The guard dug deep and took a quarter of an hour to dig the headless bones out of the mud. There was a Dharma seal next to the bones.

Jiang Pengji doesn't care about the bones. She cares about the seal.

Huang song took a look and said, "the quality of this French seal is very good. Judging from the carving and style, it looks like it was made in the early Xia Dynasty."

The Xia Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and the surrounding small countries surrendered one after another. It was an era of extremely prosperous economy, extravagance and luxury.

This trend has also affected all walks of life, and many places have the unique rage of that era.

Even the Dharma seal commonly used by Taoism has been affected to some extent.

Jiang Pengji said, "in the early Xia Dynasty, Taoism prevailed?"

This seal came from the same source as the one that Weici was carrying around. Except that the seal was different, others seemed to be cloned.

Huang Song said, "although it is not a national religion, it is much more pleasant than Buddhist monks."

Buddhism is an imported product, not a local sect.

When monks were the most domineering, they almost shook the foundation of the whole society.

When Buddhism first came, some people were acclimatized. Later, when they stood firm, they were unstoppable.

In order to avoid tax and military service, the people shave and become monks without permission. Even if he is out of the house, his style of behavior is no different from that of ordinary people.

In order to build temples and occupy thousands of hectares of fertile land, the key is that they do not pay taxes, feed a large number of monks and soldiers, and countless copper, iron, gold and silver are used to build Buddha bodies, which seriously affects the society. The Sixteen Kingdoms period was also the most prosperous and darkest period of Buddhism.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, the Taizu destroyed the Buddha at the suggestion of the prime minister Huangfu, destroyed countless temples, confiscated tens of millions of hectares of fertile fields illegally occupied by the temples, confiscated hundreds of thousands of slaves and maidservants, and ordered illegal monks and nuns without an ultimatum to return to secular life. In addition, the bronze Buddha statues and gold Buddha statues were dismantled, and the materials were used to forge coins or farm tools and weapons, so as to formulate strict monk regulations.

After this battle, Buddhism was decadent and Taoism was quickly pulled up with the support of the imperial court.

Of course, people also say that Prime Minister Huangfu was a registered disciple of the Taoist temple when he was young, so he was especially close to Taoism.

After Huang song's popular science, not only Jiang Pengji understood, but also the salted fish in the live broadcast room.

[sneaking into Africa]: sounds like three martial arts and one sect killing Buddha?

[scarlet of the goblin queen]: I thought monks were kind... I was stunned.

[Yiyi purple eyes]: monks in the history of China have similar virtues.

The audience talked about it, but Jiang Pengji always looked at the French seal in her hand.
