The world started from mixing in the courtyard

Chapter 267 Map Opening

Near Taiyue City.

Yue Buqun saw the newly reclaimed land from a distance. It was all green and there were many people working in the fields.

"I didn't expect it to come back to life so quickly."

Yue Buqun sighed.

In fact, this place used to be arable land, but the Ming court retreated and took the people back, so the land became abandoned.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tuman to gather thousands of people here.

Yue Buqun rode over and walked up to a dark-skinned old farmer. He opened his mouth and asked, "Old man, where are you from?"

"You're from Qin, what's wrong?" The old man didn't stop waving his arms, but just raised his head slightly, with a hint of impatience on his wrinkled lines.

Yue Buqun nodded. He was very much like a Guanzhong person. Even though he had a slightly bad temper, he didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Since you are from Qin, why are you here?"

Seeing that Yue Buqun was not angry, the old man smiled, stopped working on his hoe, stood up straight, and said, "I believe in the Taiyue Sect, and my family was arranged to come here by lottery. In Guanzhong, my family was a tenant of the King of Qin, but here, we are our own farmers. Why don't I come here?"

"Besides, I tell you, I'm lucky. As soon as I got here, my son was drafted into the army, and now he's been allocated military land. We can cultivate the land for as long as my son serves in the army! We don't even have to cultivate the land ourselves."

As he spoke, the old farmer straightened up and pointed to the distance, "See? Those are all military fields over there, and even the people working on them are slaves. The slaves are helping us plant the fields!"

Yue Buqun smiled. It seemed that Tuman was still very obedient.

He didn't like slaves, but in this era, without free labor, there would be no development.

Therefore, Yue Buqun came up with a compromise idea, that is, slaves should be owned by the government, and private individuals were not allowed to own slaves.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Aren't you afraid of the war here?"

The old farmer's face darkened and he sighed, "Of course I am afraid. I pray to Taiyue Zhenjun every day, hoping that my son will return safely. But in Guanzhong, we don't have enough to eat all day. If the harvest is bad one year, we won't have a proper meal for the whole year. We might starve to death!"

"Here, at least I can eat white noodles occasionally, and I can also eat my fill on weekdays, that's enough!"

Yue Buqun sighed inwardly. As expected, the problem that had troubled the lower classes of the Han people for thousands of years was always about having enough to eat. He then asked, “Well, old man, what do you think of Taiyue City?”

The old farmer was lost in thought. After thinking for a while, he said, "I think everything is good. It's just that the environment here is not good. It's not as good as Guanzhong, but I can eat enough. Other problems are not a problem."

Yue Buqun smiled and nodded, "Okay, sorry to bother you."

The old farmer waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm tired too. I just need to take a breath." Then he swung the hoe again.

Then, the old farmer was suddenly startled, and knelt on the ground with a start: "It's Taiyue Zhenjun who has come! He looks exactly like the statue in the temple!"

Yue Buqun walked to the side of the road, jumped on his horse and laughed.

Continue moving forward with Ye Lina.

The further you go, the more prosperous it becomes and the more people there are.

Many familiar faces have appeared.

"The Master is here!"

"The Master is back!"

"The Master is a deity, everyone kneel down!"

Crash.

A group of people knelt on the roadside.

Yue Buqun originally wanted to dismount to stop it, but after thinking about it, he gave up. People at that time, especially the lower classes, didn't know much. Once they joined the Taiyue Sect, they would really worship Yue Buqun as a god.

Unless Yue Buqun starts nine-year compulsory education now and carries out various scientific activities, there is no solution.

Ride through on horseback.

At the edge of Taiyue City, Tu Man and a group of people had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, my lord!" Wen Keding bowed.

Yue Buqun smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wen Keding smiled and said, "I heard from the caravan that the lord had come to the Western Regions. I also wanted to see the local customs of the Western Regions, so I hurried over. I didn't expect that the Western Regions would develop so rapidly and not lag behind the northern part of the country!"

Tu Man said at the right time: "This is all because of the wise leadership of the Master. He has set the strategy, and we have implemented it, so naturally we have achieved remarkable results!" Then he said, "Please allow the Master to enter the city!"

Yue Buqun nodded.

In fact, the people who came to welcome him were not only Tu Man and Wen Keding, but also Cheng Buyou, Qiu Shize, Mo Huaerche, Hou Fangzhi and others.

Everyone entered the city.

When some people saw Yue Buqun, they naturally knelt on the ground again.

Some people who had never seen Yue Buqun also knelt on the ground after listening to other people's narration.

Tu Manzhi pointed to the surroundings with great pride: "According to the plan of the Master, workshops have been opened here, both government-run and privately-owned. Now the market is already prosperous!"

"If the Master comes back a little later, he can even drink our homemade Huashan aged wine!"

In the past, there was no grain production and all grain had to be transported, so brewing was not allowed. Now the policy has been relaxed a little.

Workshops are lined up on both sides of the road.

This is the industrial zone planned by Yue Buqun.

After passing the industrial area, there are residential and commercial areas, and of course the central location is the Taiyue Temple.

There is also a saying about the Taiyue Temple. First of all, the temple should face away from Mount Hua. This is mainly to ensure that the statue of Taiyue inside can remain facing away from Mount Hua, as if the Taiyue God of Mount Hua was projected over.

Yue Buqun did not return to his residence, but came to Taiyue Temple.

Standing at the gate of Taiyue Temple, Yue Buqun was a little dissatisfied.

Not grand enough!

Although this is already the largest building in Taiyue City, it is far inferior to the Western churches in his impression.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

Other people's churches took decades or even hundreds of years to build, but mine only took more than a year, which is already pretty good.

Enter the teaching view.

Inside, a towering statue of Taiyue looks majestic.

Ok.

A bit like myself.

Very satisfying.

Pretending to be serious, Yue Buqun led everyone to worship Taiyue Zhenjun first.

Then, Yue Buqun came to the back hall and ate while listening to everyone's work reports.

Yue Buqun picked up a bowl of oil-splashed noodles, took two bites, then picked up the roujiamo and took a bite.

Tu Man beside him said excitedly: "In the year since the Master left, we have fought hundreds of battles in Taiyue City, big and small, and won all of them! We have captured 30,000 slaves, more than 200,000 cattle and sheep, and a thousand miles of land!"

"My caravan brought 6,000 civilians, and 3,000 people came to seek refuge with the Ming court."

"Open more than 30 workshops and dig eight mines!" "Pave the road..."

Tu Man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face was filled with excitement. "Now that Turpan and Yarkand are in civil strife, we just need to integrate the internal forces, first pacify Turpan, then Yarkand. In this way, there will be no rival for us Taiyue in the entire Western Regions!"

Yue Buqun was puzzled and asked: "I heard that there are only 50,000 to 60,000 people here, how come there are 30,000 slaves?"

Tu Man quickly explained: "The Master left too many projects behind, but he also cancelled corvée labor. In order to complete the projects quickly, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Anyone who resists and is unwilling to convert to Taiyue will be demoted to a slave! And there are also slave soldiers, and I am counted among the slaves. Anyway, they are not needed now. If there is a war to attack, it will not be too late to pull them out!"

Yue Buqun hesitated for a moment, picked up another bowl of mutton soup, and started eating. He then wiped his mouth and said, "In that case, let's do this first!"

Then he turned to look at Cheng Buyou and asked, "Among these 50,000 people, how many are Taiyue Sect followers?"

Cheng Buyou said with a smile: "We have 10,000 combat soldiers, 15,000 slave soldiers, and 10,000 civilians, workers, and merchants who all believe in Taiyue!"

Tu Man hurriedly laughed and said, "The Master is able to understand people's hearts. If you join the Taiyue Sect, you will have to pay 20% of the land tax and will not have to do corvée. When those who came from Gandhi heard these conditions, they all joined the sect!"

Yue Buqun sighed. Although he worked very hard on publicity, the effect was actually limited.

What can really spread Taiyue Sect is benefits, especially benefits that can be seen and touched.

The rules left by Yue Buqun are that if you believe in Taiyue Religion, you have to pay a 20% land tax, if you don't believe in it, you have to pay a 35% land tax and perform separate corvee labor. And so on. If you are a merchant or a herdsman, it's the same, there's a difference between those who believe in Taiyue and those who don't.

Moreover, he did not expect that Gandhi would come in such large numbers on his own accord.

Sure enough, it was already the end of the dynasty.

When Yezhupi started his business, countless people from Liao came to join him. Of course, it was another matter when Yezhupi turned his back on them.

Yue Buqun added: "After we conquer the Tatar Tumed territory, we should not start fighting for the time being. First, we should let the soldiers rest, and second, we should integrate the internal forces and divide the territory. We have to put down roots in such a vast territory!"

"Without a stable foundation, everything else is just a castle in the air!"

"Especially, we must pass on the Taiyue faith!"

Tu Man's face froze, and he looked a little unhappy, but he still said loudly: "Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Wen Keding said, "My lord, the Taiyue tribe now has 30,000 people, and has always been adhering to the low-intensity war of big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp. However, the Tatars and Oirat tribes in the northern part of the Great Wall are too powerful, so we have to rely on them and cannot be completely independent!"

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "It's okay. Just keep the war low-intensity. Generals are trained through battle after battle. I feel deeply moved by Li Sanhu's current appearance. I hope you can help Taiyue train some generals!"

Wen Keding smiled but did not answer. Although there were a few young people who had already made their mark, they had not yet appeared as people of Li Sanhu's level. As for himself, he was capable of managing territories, but he was not very good at marching and fighting. Of course, he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge.

night.

Ye Lina stroked her belly, turned to look at Yue Buqun, and asked, "Master, I don't want my son to be a leader anymore."

Even though it was only one afternoon.

But while Yue Buqun was discussing matters with everyone, Ye Lina ate her meal and went out for a walk.

Then she discovered that ordinary people here could actually afford soap bars, and the dazzling array of goods made her dizzy.

Sure enough, the Han people are still capable of creation.

If you have all these enjoyments, it doesn’t matter whether you are a leader or not.

Yue Buqun smiled and said: "Leader is too low-level, if I want to be a leader, I want to be a king!"

Now, Yue Buqun estimated that he had about ten sons. So many sons would definitely come in handy. In the future, they would emulate King Wu and confer titles on their clan members!

But Yue Buqun has no relatives.

It must be Dafeng’s own son.

Repeat the colonial development and enfeoffment in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

Anyway, the population in the Han area is exploding, and before industrialization, the population will only increase.

When Ye Lina heard this, her face became dreamy again: "Can it compare to the Kingdom of Turpan?"

"Of course I can compare!" Yue Buqun smiled faintly.

Ye Lina's heart was burning with passion again. Her maternal instinct made her hope that her son would grow up safely and healthily, but the things that happened in the past made her feel a little unwilling.

Seeing Yue Buqun so heroic, she naturally felt excited, and suddenly leaned down and opened her red lips: "Master, let me serve you!"

The next day.

Yue Buqun called Tu Man and others.

Take out a map and put it on the table.

"This is our Western Capital!" Yue Buqun said, pointing to a place.

Everyone took a look at the map.

Cheng Buyou said: "Yili? How can this be the Western Capital? Isn't the Western Capital our Chang'an?"

Then look at Chang'an, Zhongdu.

Northern Yan, Northern Capital.

Jinling failed to be selected as the Eastern Capital, and instead Songjiang Prefecture next to Jinling became the Eastern Capital.

There is another Nandu, Panyu.

For a moment, everyone gasped.

Although they have achieved some results now, they are nothing compared to the Ming court.

But Yue Buqun has already thought of his own capital? !

And five cities were designated at once?
Everyone looked at Yue Buqun almost in a daze. Although they had also dreamed of entering Guanzhong and destroying the Ming court, it was just a thought.

I didn't expect Yue Buqun to be so serious.

Yue Buqun also wanted to laugh, mainly because the expansion of the map reminded him of a person who claimed to have an advantage over me.

Didn’t Sun Yat-sen say that Yili was the best choice for the capital?
He, Yue Buqun, decided first!
As for whether he could dominate the world, that was not something he could consider.

Seeing that no one was talking, Yue Buqun coughed lightly and said, "Last night, Taiyue summoned me and told me that the future would be a world of ocean, so Songjiang Prefecture and Panyu were designated as the capitals. As for Yili, Taiyue also told me that!"

"What do you think?"

What else is there to say?
Yue Buqun even moved Taiyue out.

"We will swear to complete Taiyue's ambition and capture the five cities to serve Taiyue!" Wen Keding was the first to shout.

Others quickly followed suit.

Yue Buqun nodded with satisfaction: "Taiyue is watching us from the sky. If we cannot conquer the five cities, we will be sinners and go to hell!"

After a pause, he said, "Okay, go get busy!"

Tu Man and others left.

Yue Buqun sat down, picked up the file, and began to look at the data.

But after he had looked for a while, someone came over to report that someone wanted to see him.

Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment. He had just sent everyone away, so who else could see him?
Just as I was wondering, the informant said, "Your Excellency, you don't know that this person is Master Tuman's clerk, a scholar from Gandhi!"

Yue Buqun smiled. Is this the case? He quickly said, "Come in, please!"
