Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 212 There is no big mistake in being cautious, and there is reason to be arrogant

Time passed and the weather became colder.

The three of Su Jing have already stepped into the territory of Shandong, to be precise, they have already arrived in Jining Mansion.

Although it is also a place of great wealth, it is still much worse than Yingtian.

At this time, they came to Jiaxiang County.

A very small county town, because it happened to pass by, so Su Jing also chose to stop here, to have a good rest and replenish supplies.

In the inn, Su Jing and the three went out directly after washing up briefly.

The carriage is placed behind the inn, and there is a guy who feeds the hay, so I am very relieved.

All the valuables on the carriage were also removed.

Silver taels and so on are all worn close to the body.

It's a bit bulky, but at least it's better than being stolen.

On the street, the wind is cold and the people are sparsely populated.

"Master Su, why are there so few people here?"

Zhu Biao asked curiously.

Having stayed in Lishui County for a long time, Zhu Biao is really not used to the situation in this small county.

"It's just so small, it's just a small county, how many people can it have."

Su Jing replied: "Niu Yi, don't take any place as Lishui County."

"The population of each place has an inseparable relationship with the economic level."

Where there is no money, there are few people.

It's the same no matter where.

Zhu Biao nodded and continued to observe the place.

They also passed through some relatively large cities before, but it was obvious that they were desolate.

It is not only reflected in various buildings or objects, but also reflected in people's mental state.

People's lives are not so easy.

The war has just ended, there are many casualties, and the population has not yet recovered. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang took good care of the people, their lives still have to endure.

The life of ordinary people is like this.

Therefore, when many people come to Lishui County for the first time, they will be so surprised.

The smiles on the faces of the people will not be fake.

After simply purchasing the supplies, the three of them returned to the inn.

"Master Su, along the way, the farther you are from Yingtian, the more difficult people's lives will be."

Zhu Biao said with some emotion.

As a prince, he spends most of his time in the palace.

Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was not proclaimed emperor, but when he was only King Wu, Zhu Biao mostly studied in the Shizifu.

Only when Zhu Yuanzhang moved his nest, Zhu Biao would go with him.

Over the years, I have been to many places, but I have not seen many things about people's livelihood.

On the contrary, during the six months of studying with Su Jing, I have been staying in Lishui County, and I have a deeper understanding of the lives of the people.

Su Jing said: "That's natural. Since ancient times, this capital city has had innate development advantages. It has concentrated the human and material resources of the whole country, so the development is naturally better than other places."

"Then take the capital as the center and continue to spread your influence outward. The closer you are, the easier it is to develop."

"It's like the relationship between our earth and the moon or other stars."

"The moon is not the biggest and brightest, but it is the closest to us, so it reflects the most sunlight, so it looks like the biggest and brightest."

With such a description, Su Jing immediately made the relationship between urban development clear and clear.

Zhu Biao listened and felt quite reasonable.

Even Mu Ying who was on the side was also attracted.

"Then Master Su, if it is not relying on the capital, is there no possibility of development?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Of course not. The development of each region is affected by many factors, and the distance from the capital is only one of them."

"The core elements of urban development, to put it bluntly, are two points, politics and economy."

"As long as you have these two elements, even if there is only one, then the development will naturally not be bad."

politics and economics.

Even in Su Jing's previous life, this is extremely applicable.

Zhu Biao carefully memorized what Su Jing said, and was thinking in his heart.

"Mr. Su, may I ask what is the meaning of the word city?"

Mu Ying spoke suddenly and asked Su Jing.

He is not Zhu Biao, he has been exposed to many things, and he understands quickly.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Of course, the so-called city refers to the accumulation of population, resources, capital, technology, information and other elements within a certain space. It is a way of human survival and settlement built out of political, military, economic and survival needs."

When Su Jing spoke, it was a definition.

This caught Mu Ying a little off guard, because it was too direct, which made it difficult for Mu Ying to understand for a while.

In fact, it can't be said that it is too complicated, but Mu Ying is not very comfortable with these relatively professional statements.

After a short memory and taste, Mu Ying finally understood the meaning of the city a little bit.

"Master Su, since the city is a product of such complex functions, why do you say that it can develop with only a little bit of politics and economy?"

Zhu Biao continued to ask: "Just a little, is it enough?"

Hearing Zhu Biao's question, Su Jing smiled. He looked at Zhu Biao and said:
"Niu Yi, what do you think can be separated from politics and economy?"

"If you think about it carefully, all aspects that politics and economics can cover basically cover what I said before."

"Don't get too entangled in this description, but think carefully about the reality."

"For example, Jiaxiang County, if you were to develop it, what would you do?"

After Su Jing's voice fell, Zhu Biao really began to think seriously.

It's a pity that this question is a bit difficult for him.

Even though he is a prince, the development in the agricultural society itself pays attention to the right time, place and people.

Mu Ying listened silently, and now he understood why Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Biao to study with Su Jing, a teacher.

Although what Su Jing taught before is quite important, it seems that it is not necessary for a prince.

"Students think that they have to build roads and traffic first."

Zhu Biao thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Master Su said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads."

"Only when the traffic is unimpeded, can people and goods flow unimpeded, and the efficiency of doing things is improved, and it is easier to develop the economy."

Su Jing smiled and said: "Don't answer me in a hurry, you have to think about this matter carefully, don't worry, I'll order food first, and eat dry food every day, no matter how delicious it is, it won't taste good in your mouth."

He knew that Zhu Biao had a very serious personality, and he would definitely think seriously about the questions he asked.

But the development of a place, even a small county, is not something that can be thought of in a short while.

Not to mention, this would still be a feudal small peasant society.

This is just a question for Zhu Biao to think about.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded.

"Mr. Su, let me go, you have a rest first."

Before Su Jing got up, Mu Ying said.

Su Jing immediately said: "Don't say that, you are the one driving the car all this way, you are the one who is tired, I will order food, if you want to eat, you can tell me."

Running all the way, Su Jing was actually quite relaxed.

There is no need to drive by yourself, and there is no wind, sun and rain, so it is really not too tiring.

"It's okay, I can eat anything."

Mu Ying replied.

After getting along for this period of time, Mu Ying also understood Su Jing's personality, and did not argue with Su Jing.

Su Jing left the room and went to find a buddy.

Although you can directly ask the waiter to arrange the order, but when it comes to eating, Su Jing doesn't want to be casual.

In the guest room, Zhu Biao was still thinking.

From the perspective of a normal prince, Jiaxiang County has no development value.

Such a small county has a small population.

Why develop?
In the feudal society, the small peasant economy was the foundation, and the places where big cities were not developed were not very good places.

But this is a thinking question given to him by Su Jing, and he has to think about it seriously.

Not long after, Su Jing came back.

"I ordered a few special dishes and ordered some wine. I can sleep well at night and relax my muscles and bones."

Su Jing said with a smile.

Sleeping outside, no matter how big a heart is, the rest is still inferior to the inn.

It's been a long way, but nothing happened, so it's quite comfortable.

Just after eating for a while, there was a sound in the inn.

The giggling voice was so loud that even the three of Su Jing in the guest room could hear it very clearly.

"Mr. Su, let me see what's going on."

Mu Ying got up, directly opened the door of the guest room, and looked at the movement downstairs.

With just one glance, Muying's anger rose up.

A group of soldiers below were eating and drinking, wearing armor and knives, but their clothes were disheveled.

Shouting at the shopkeeper and the clerk, the guests at the surrounding tables were already scared away, and they continued to drink and laugh wantonly on the first floor without realizing it.

The shopkeeper's trembling expression was completely an expression that he didn't dare to provoke.

Such a soldier has no military discipline.

As a general who has led troops for many years, it is this kind of soldiers that Mu Ying despises the most.

He only dared to be rampant against the common people, and he completely humiliated Daming.

Mu Ying, who was on fire, immediately prepared to go downstairs to teach these people a lesson.

However, just as he was about to leave, a hand was already on his shoulder: "Brother Wenying, calm down, we are not here to fight injustice."

Mu Ying looked back, it was Su Jing.

"Mr. Su, I'm really sorry, I really can't stand it anymore."

Mu Ying apologized to Su Jing.

At this moment, Zhu Biao also came out, and the scene downstairs was clear.

"Go back first, said in the room."

Su Jing said.

He was really afraid that Mu Ying would go straight up and get entangled, even if Mu Ying could beat four hands with two fists, it would definitely be troublesome.

When you are away from home, the most important thing is to avoid causing trouble.

Mu Ying glanced at the arrogant soldiers below, and finally chose to obey Su Jing's words.

"Mr. Su, I'm also a soldier, these people really embarrass me!"

Mu Ying said quite indignantly.

As the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Mu Ying joined the army very early and led the army himself for a long time.

In terms of military discipline, he has always learned from Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has strict discipline and never fishes the common people.

At the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, it was precisely because of military discipline that he won the love of the people, and many generals took the initiative to vote, and then he grew step by step.

Chang Yuchun is a typical example.

As the adopted son, Mu Ying has inherited this aspect very well.

So when he saw such a situation, he couldn't help but want to teach them a lesson.

"Master Su, the students also think that Brother Mu's words are good, and they must be punished."

Zhu Biao echoed from the side.

One of the two is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, and the other is the prince.

They are all in high positions, and when they see this kind of thing, they want to take care of it.

Su Jing shook her head and said, "I understand that you want to complain, but in this situation, is it appropriate?"

"As soon as we leave, the store owner will definitely be punished."

"None of you are ordinary people. I know that it is very easy for you to teach those soldiers a lesson."

"But we didn't come here to fight against injustices. We only thought about doing it when we saw it. Isn't it a bit too fake? With this time, why not think about how to put an end to this phenomenon. Daming will not be the only place where there is such a thing. Question."

Su Jing said lightly that he is not a nosy person.

It's not that Su Jing is cold-blooded, but that he can't control it at all.

This era, this society is like this.

Listening to Su Jing's words, Mu Ying and Zhu Biao fell silent.

What Su Jing said is quite right, this is the Jining Mansion, and such a phenomenon has already occurred.

What about further afield?
There must be similar situations, and even Mu Ying's own soldiers, he can't guarantee that everyone will strictly observe military discipline.

"Master Su, since we have met him, we can't really just ignore it."

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing and said.

This is the territory of Daming, and he is the crown prince.

During the journey, Zhu Biao couldn't do it if he just ignored this kind of thing.

"Really want to take care of it?"

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and asked.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded seriously.

Su Jing said: "Then don't trouble these little soldiers, go find their general."

"As the saying goes, it is the fault of the son not to teach his father, and it is also the fault of the general if he is not strict with soldiers."

"Even if you have a prominent family background and can deal with the soldiers directly, have you ever thought about what the master of these soldiers will think?"

"They may be afraid of your identities, but they also have to manage the soldiers under them, defend or scold, what do you think they will choose?"

"It's not just a few soldiers under him. How can a general who can't even defend his own soldiers get the support of his soldiers? It's easy to embarrass yourself if you get stuck."

"Recognize the stakes, the more you are in a high position, the less you can act rashly."

"Besides, this place is Jining Mansion, not Yingtian. After all, it is outside, so we should pay attention to it."

Listening to Su Jing's words, both Zhu Biao and Mu Ying's expressions were a little abnormal.

Because Su Jing's words were too cautious.

At first glance, it is indeed for their own good, and the situation of the local generals must be considered.

When you are outside, people don't necessarily sell face.

But what are the identities of the two, Zhu Yuanzhang's son.

This is directly presented, what else needs to be considered?
