Sheng Fu

Liu Qinghua was in a daze for a moment. It was undoubtedly an honor to be recognized in person by someone like Bai Xiaowei.

Bai Xiaowei pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "The man at the foot of the mountain is called Zong Liang. He is my confidant. If you have any instructions, just ask. I will be watching Qiushui County from Bazhou."

"Although you are young, there are some things that only young people can do."

Liu Qinghua nodded heavily.

Bai Xiaowei turned around and crossed the void and left.

Not long after, Zong Liang, Meng Huai and others arrived at the hillside.

The two men were old acquaintances and had dealt with each other before. They had a good impression of each other. Since Yuwen Jun and Bai Xiaowei had a very good personal relationship, the disciples under the command of the two bosses naturally got along well with each other.

Zong Liang came close to Liu Qinghua, bowed earnestly and said, "Zong Liang greets Master Qinghua."

This call of "Sir" came from the bottom of his heart, not because of any achievements of Liu Qinghua, but because Liu Qinghua appeared in this barren land.

Liu Qinghua bowed slightly and replied, "There are many deficiencies in the future. I hope you can give me more advice. You can speak freely."

Zong Liang felt relieved and responded gently, "Thank you for your tolerance, sir."

"We have already completed the overall planning of the population of Qiushui County."

"Brother Meng Huaixian and I have discussed that we need to transfer most of the population of Qiushui County to build barracks for a temporary transition. As for this year's crops, they will naturally be barren."

"Once the construction of the academy is completed, the land will need to be redistributed."

Qiu Shui County is originally a barren land. The crops here are worthless, and the people here are even less valuable. If they temporarily move elsewhere, they will be despised by the people in other states and counties.

The only convenience is that there are very few gentry and local tyrants in Qiu Shui County, and there are no aristocratic families. To settle this group of people, one only needs to pay a sufficient price to take over the entire Qiu Shui County.

Liu Qinghua asked: "Where should we build the camp?"

Meng Huai said: "Qiu Shui County has been occupied. There is a ranch. The owner of the ranch is a member of the Yang family. Now under pressure from the situation, he took the initiative to hand over the ranch to us."

"The area there is vast, enough to build a camp and allow the people of Qiushui County to temporarily transit."

"Of course, we also gave the ranch owner enough silver."

"But the real problem right now is that many people in Qiushui County are unwilling to leave their homeland and are reluctant to give up their own land."

"Some elderly people are very stubborn and cannot be persuaded with emotion or reason."

Even though it is barren, there are still people who love this land deeply.

Liu Qinghua heard this and said with difficulty: "Money can't move his heart or change his mind?"

Meng Huai said slightly embarrassedly: "Indeed."

Some things are not about how much money is spent.

Liu Qinghua asked: "How many people of high moral character and prestige are there in this local area?"

Every village has several elders who are highly respected, and every county has several wealthy families with great reputations. When many measures of officials cannot be implemented smoothly, they can only be transmitted through local tyrants.

Meng Huai said: "In this barren land, there are no elders of high moral character and prestige. People are scattered and each one is acting on his own."

"If we force the people to move, there will probably be bloodshed."

"They are ignorant and stupid, and they can't understand many things."

The people in the barren lands are indeed ignorant. Even if there are one or two people who enlighten the people occasionally, those who hold real power will never be the ones who enlighten the people.

The crane stands out among the chickens. It is the crane that makes people despise and hate it, not the chicken.

However, the poorer the place, the more likely it is that the people will fight among themselves, to the point that every household has an enemy, and it is definitely not a harmonious scene.

Moreover, although most people are pitiful, they are actually despicable villains with cruel hearts, and they even regard human life as worthless. This is not their fault.

Because in this barren and lifeless land, only by fighting for every opportunity and by using all possible cruel means can one gain some superficial benefits.

If this continues, hatred will inevitably accumulate.

This is also the scenery that Yu Wenjun had not seen the last time he came to Qiu Shui County.

Liu Qinghua thought briefly and said, "There is no need to plan the project for now. Let's first appease the people of Qiushui County. The people's hearts are different from the people's hearts. The people's hearts come from the heart, while the people's hearts just follow the crowd."

"Although Qiushui County is not big, it is still a small world, and it will breed countless grievances and hatreds."

"Next, you two will lead a group of meticulous people to conduct a careful investigation to see how big the martial arts world in Qiushui County is, who has a grudge against whom, whether it is a mortal feud or a grudge of one arrow, and investigate it carefully."

"This time, there is no local snake to take advantage of, which means we have no chance to take advantage of it. We can only do it ourselves."

Meng Huai and Zong Liang looked at each other. They had never thought that Liu Qinghua would give such an order, but after careful consideration, this was indeed a method.

If we don't find a way to resolve the concerns of the local people, many things will be difficult to carry out.

This Hengchang Academy is a symbol and cannot be mistaken.

The local people of Qiu Shui County must be properly settled.

Liu Qinghua continued, "Moreover, gather all the people in Qiushui County who can read and write, set up an examination, and grant different powers according to their rankings."

"If someone can only read and write but has no ability or means, then discard him."

"At the same time, we will carefully coordinate the young people between the ages of fifteen and thirty in Qiushui County. Among these people, there will definitely be some passionate people, and naturally there will be some people with considerable abilities and talents."

"We will carefully screen and select some local talents."

Meng Huai and Zong Liang's minds suddenly became much clearer, and they finally knew where to start.

But Meng Huai asked worriedly: "But what if there is a feud?"

If you harbor hatred, you will be obsessed. If you are obsessed, you may do anything at certain times.

If you don't let out some of your anger, you will feel uncomfortable for the rest of your life.

Liu Qinghua said, "This is simple. Set up a folk fighting arena. Those who hate each other can sign a life-and-death agreement and fight to the death. The winner will put aside their previous prejudices, and the loser will receive a pension that is enough to repair his house and marry a wife."

"In the early stages, there will certainly be people who are excited and desperate to kill their enemies, but there will also be a lot of people watching. When the people behind see the people in front die on the stage, they will inevitably feel some emotions."

"As long as people see their enemies killing each other, some of them will gradually awaken to wisdom."

"But some people will definitely die in this process."

Some things cannot be done without the death of some people.

Some things are incredible, but when many incredible things happen at the same time, you will naturally become indifferent to them.

Zong Liang was touched when he heard this and said, "Your Excellency has a good method. This is indeed a brilliant plan."

Meng Huai said: "But this matter cannot be spread."

"Once the news gets out, people from the outside world will have a handle to look down on people from Qiushui County."

Liu Qinghua said: "People in Qiushui County have always been looked down upon by outsiders, but it is different now. The Prime Minister has used many means in the process of providing work-for-relief, and many people have been ridiculed and looked down upon."

"So, there is no need to worry about the future reputation of the people of Qiushui County."

Meng Huai and Zong Liang felt their minds open up a lot after hearing this. The era of great contention is also the time of the creation of the world... (End of this chapter)
