Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 284 Shocked all the way

Continuing to go to Lantian, Sun Chuanting's mood is very complicated. Looking at the prosperity of Lantian and the smiles on the faces of the people, Sun Chuanting is very happy. Running wildly in the countryside, unrestrained, that silver bell-like laughter is the best music for Sun Chuanting.

But he is also afraid of seeing the happiness of these people, because the better the people here live, the higher their sense of identity with Lantian, and the harder it is for him to shake the Lantian regime, the poisonous dragon hiding in the deep water.

These happy people may become the last straw that weighs on Daming in the future, so Sun Chuanting very much hopes to see the people in Lantian also live a life similar to the people in other areas of Daming.

He is so contradictory and entangled, but in any case, Sun Chuanting's evaluation of Li Chaosheng is getting higher and higher. He is definitely an official of the country who is born in the world. In just a few years, he managed to govern Lantian in a smooth manner, the country is prosperous, the people are safe, and the people are prosperous. , this internal affairs capability is definitely far superior to others.

As an official of a county, he can govern a county well; as an official of a prefecture, he can govern a prefecture well; An official of the country is definitely at the level of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, at least comparable to Zhang Juzheng.

If Li Chaosheng is willing, his grandson Chuanting is willing to assist him to govern Daming and the world well.

"A capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times."

Sun Chuanting thought of a comment on Cao Cao, and it seemed appropriate to apply it to Li Chaosheng at this time.

Sun Chuanting continued to move forward, and soon came to the territory of Lantian, and there were several valleys in Lantian. Entering through the valleys, the scene of Lantian came into view, which made Sun Chuanting's eyes widen.

"Is this Lantian?"

Lantian has initially bid farewell to the scale of the agricultural county, the wide post road, the carriages that transport goods constantly, and the rows of factories, especially the huge chimney that soars into the sky and emits black smoke.

Sun Chuanting looked at the smoke and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

After hearing this, Yang Lidong said: "This is our iron-making workshop in Lantian."

"Smelting iron?"

Sun Chuanting's eyes widened. Iron is the country's most important weapon. He didn't expect that Lantian could already make iron by himself, but why did he erect such a tall chimney for iron making?
Sun Chuanting asked Yang Lidong, Yang Lidong shook his head and said: "I don't know, this iron workshop has their rules, we people can't enter."

Sun Chuanting heard the words: "Can I go in and have a look?"

Yang Lidong shook his head and said: "This is not acceptable, I don't have the authority to take you in, unless the Lantian County Government approves it, then I can take people in."

Sun Chuanting was a little disappointed when he heard that, Yang Lidong continued to lead Sun Chuanting forward, and soon arrived outside the expanded Lantian County. Along the way, Sun Chuanting saw large and small factories, some weaving, some making vermicelli, and some kilns. , There are winemakers, there are grain processing factories, all kinds of factories are everywhere.

Moreover, the planning of Lantian is well-organized. There are large factories here, and there are no factories in the distance. They are all farmland, separated by a large open space, and a wide post road is built on this open space.

Sun Chuanting looked at the post road, which was wider than that of Xi'an City. Yang Lidong said: "The county lord said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, so the roads in Lantian extend in all directions, and the six valleys lead to all directions, and accept merchants from all directions. , to deliver all kinds of goods produced in Lantian, and to bring in all kinds of goods that Lantian needs."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but murmured: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. It's easy to understand, easy to understand."

"Let's go into the city."

Sun Chuanting called out, and Captain Zhang pulled his eyes out of the scene in front of him.

In fact, there is nothing to see, that is, Li Chaosheng initially started the industrialization experiment in the agricultural society. There are only a few more large workshops, and some of them are still heavily polluted, such as the ironworks polluting the air with black smoke. This is definitely heavy pollution, but Li Chaosheng didn't care about it.

Pollution is serious, but development is more important. Throughout the world, all countries in the development process basically take the path of pollution first and then treatment. If they resist pollution at the beginning, they will not develop at all.

Some people say that the United States does not have much pollution, but if you don’t look at the heavy metals in the rivers of the United States, it is still a legacy of the development of the United States in the 60s and 80s. Now he blames others everywhere. Face behavior, otherwise why don't they eat the carp produced in their own river.

What Li Chaosheng wanted to do was to pollute first and then develop. Without the big chimneys of these steel factories, various industrialization processes in Lantian would have stagnated.

Cold weapons were also not refined enough, which caused heavy losses to soldiers, various industrial machines could not be manufactured, and some iron products in daily life were also crudely manufactured.

What's even more frightening is that without these factories, Li Chaosheng's Lantian would become an iron-deficient place. Think about the iron-deficient Mongolian grassland tribes. Arrowheads used in war are made of bone.

This is to give the enemy a lifeline, and now with these big chimneys, the iron made by Lantian is several times stronger than that of Daming. With these irons as the foundation, the arsenal can flourish and produce more refined weapons. In order to protect Lantian from being bullied.

Sun Chuanting continued to move forward, passing through the factory area and entering the urban area of ​​Lantian, and Sun Chuanting was surprised to find that there was no city wall in Lantian City, and the old city walls had been pushed down, and then Lantian City began to center on the county government. , expanding outward round by round.

As a result, Sun Chuanting couldn't find the city wall at all. At this time, Sun Chuanting looked at Yang Lidong and asked, "There is no city wall in Lantian County?"

After hearing this, Yang Lidong smiled and said: "Of course, our county lord has said that the construction of Lantian County cannot be confined in a circle, but depends on how big the county town is for the people of Lantian. It will be built bigger, this is what our family and county officials said that the imperial court should serve the people."

Sun Chuanting was silent when he heard the words, and immediately followed into the city. At this time, Yang Lidong asked him not to follow all the 100 people, but only brought 20 people, and then a group of people entered Lantian County.

When he arrived in Lantian County, Sun Chuanting saw what is called prosperity. All kinds of shops are called buying and selling, and they are very lively. There are also businessmen with different accents, especially grain merchants. Lantian can’t eat grain. , so it is often sold out, but they are all sold to big businessmen, and the price is not low.

For this reason, Li Chaosheng also set up an annual grain auction. Lantian will announce the amount of grain sold this year, and then invite major grain merchants to bid. The highest bidder can get the right to purchase this year's grain, but the grain is only 80.00% , and 20.00% of the grain, Lantian can be retailed to small businesses.

Letting them also come to Lantian to buy food is a very important business method of Li Chaosheng. The purpose is simply to activate the business atmosphere. Li Chaosheng knows that monopoly is definitely not acceptable.

That's why we opened an opening for small merchants, and when these small merchants come to Lantian to buy food, they can't come empty, they will send all kinds of materials into Lantian, so that the business atmosphere of Lantian is activated, and Lantian has become a business. A place with a great atmosphere.

After Sun Chuanting entered the city, he got off his horse and walked on the street on foot. When he saw the merchants hawking and the smiles on the faces of the people, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart. Such a grand scene should happen in Xi'an City, BJ City, But now it happened in Lantian, not BJ, not Xi'an City.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting sighed: "Lan Tian is really a poisonous dragon."

To what extent was the poison so poisonous that Sun Chuanting himself wanted to live in a city full of hope like Lantian.

"Come here, have a taste, the cakes made by Wu Dalang are very delicious."

"Come here, don't miss it when you pass by, Wang Laosi Roasted Chicken, delicious and unforgettable."

"Tofu, tofu~ freshly made tofu~"

……

The hawkers on the street could hear their voices, and Sun Chuanting clenched his fists and looked at Yang Lidong and said, "Take me to the Lantian County Government Office."

Yang Lidong said: "You don't want to visit the market anymore."

Sun Chuanting said: "I don't want to read it, I'm going to see the ruler."

Speaking of which, Sun Chuanting and Yang Lidong walked towards the county government office, and they arrived in front of the county government office for a while. At this time, there was no guard at the gate of the county government office. The bag was hung on the beam of the county government office, and the people who came and went would take a look inside when they passed by the gate of the county government office.

"Your county government doesn't send anyone to guard?"

Sun Chuanting looked at Yang Lidong and asked, Yang Lidong pointed at the old men squatting in the sun at the entrance of the county government office and said, "Aren't they the same?"

Zhang Xiaowei stared and said: "Let some old men guard the county office, what if we encounter mobs?"

Yang Lidong looked at Captain Zhang and smiled and said: "There are no mobs in Lantian. Our county officials have said that the government cannot separate itself from the masses, so send a few people to guard the door. Who are you looking at? Will the people come to the yamen if they have no grievances? You send What are some vicious people doing at the door? The common people feel scared when they see it, so they don’t complain, which breeds evil, so just send a few old men to watch at the door, and anyone can come and complain.”

After hearing this, Captain Zhang looked at Yang Lidong and said, "What if someone wants to assassinate your county lord?"

Yang Lidong laughed when he heard the words: "Our county venerable no longer sits in the county office. The ones who are in charge of judging the case are Master Liu and the pawns. If you want to assassinate our county lord, you can't find anyone."

At this time, Sun Chuanting saw a person walking to the gate of the county government office to take a look before he was about to leave. Upon seeing this, Sun Chuanting asked, "Hey, fellow townspeople, what are you looking at?"

The man was stopped for a moment, then looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Are you from a foreign country?"

Sun Chuanting said: "Yes."

The man said: "Are we looking at the seal of the county lord?"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was taken aback and said, "What's so interesting about one side of the seal?"

The man said: "What do you know? We have a new governor in Shaanxi. I don't know if this donkey dung ball has a cramp in his head. He insists on making trouble with our county magistrate and dismisses our county magistrate. Our county magistrate It’s true, hang the seal and leave.”

"We'll keep an eye on this big seal to see if there are any unsightly people who come to take up the post. If the big seal is there, it means that the county lord is still in charge of Lantian County. We are at ease. If the big seal is not there, we can go back and prepare guys. Come and fight the new magistrate."

The man looked at Sun Chuanting and said, after hearing this, Sun Chuanting's face was covered with black lines, he seemed to be the donkey dung ball.

"Okay, I'm still stewing fish at home. I just came out to see if Dayin is there. I'm relieved to go back to eat and leave."

After speaking, the man walked quickly to his home, and his home was not far away, just turned around a few alleys.

Sun Chuanting said with embarrassment at this moment: "Let's go to the county government office."

As Sun Chuanting said, he walked towards the county government office. At this moment, several old men who were still chatting stood up and said, "Stop, who are you looking for?"

Sun Chuanting heard the words and said, "Li Chaosheng."

The old man frowned and said, "The magistrate is not here."

Sun Chuanting also wanted to say, at this time Yang Lidong stepped forward to salute and said: "Old man, this is Mr. Sun Chuanting, governor of Shaanxi, who was invited by the county lord to inspect Lantian."

Hearing this, the old man frowned, and said, "Register."

"Ok."

Yang Lidong immediately wrote his name and time in the old man's notebook.

Then the old man said: "Go in."

After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanting and the others entered the room, and the old man said to his elder brother at this time: "That guy is Sun Chuanting's donkey dung ball, and this guy is ashamed to come to Lantian."

"That's right, that's right, that's why our county official is open-minded, otherwise this old man will never be allowed to enter our Lantian County."

……

Sun Chuanting walked and listened to the murmurs of the people behind him, his face became half red and half white, but after all, he had a good skill in nourishing qi, and he recovered in a short time.

At this time, Sun Chuanting came to the county government office and found that the decoration of the county government office was more orderly, but quite satisfactory.

In fact, this is also very simple. The front of the county office is the facade, which is no different from before, and the place where everyone works is the residence of the former county magistrate behind the county office. Now it has been sorted out and becomes the Lantian office, so you can’t see it from the front. What.

When Sun Chuanting came to the county office, Yang Lidong went to report, and soon an old man with a goatee came out from the county office. Liu Degui, head of Lantian, has seen the Governor."

Liu Degui saluted, but he couldn't hide his arrogance, and a temperament that looked down on Sun Chuanting from the bottom of his heart. Sun Chuanting knew that he had it before. Cheerful, but in my heart I despise this eunuch.

Because he was doing the right thing, he was so proud of himself that he looked down on those bastards who held great power but took advantage of the common people, but he never thought that one day someone would look at him like this.
