Chapter 1255 What kind of person is he?

In fact, Yuan Huang once wondered, Xiao Ruxun was born as a general, and had never been hungry or cold. How could he care so much for the people at the bottom, and how could he be so kind to them?

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Huang realized that he didn't seem to understand Xiao Ruxun from the beginning to the end, and he never really understood what kind of person Xiao Ruxun was from the beginning to the end.

On the one hand, he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he frequently ransacked and beheaded the three clans of the Lian family, and wiped out the former Ming Dynasty and all forces that might oppose him.

On the one hand, he was merciful and forgiving, and tried every means to reduce the burden on the people, and even thought of using Japanese captives to replace the people of Daqin to serve and work.

To say that all dynasties have lightened the burden on the people the most, Yuan Huang felt that he could not find anything more practical than Great Qin. Therefore, this was also the fundamental reason why he was willing to stay in the government and use his talents to serve this new country.

He felt that the ideal of a scholar seemed to be being realized in the hands of this man who betrayed the emperor and the Ming Dynasty and all of them.

Although he is definitely not a sage in the eyes of scholars, he is a sage in the eyes of many common people.

What kind of person is he?

Yuan Huang thought hard but couldn't get an answer.

With extremely complicated thoughts in mind, Yuan Huang arrived in Tianjin Wei, ready to lead a team to receive the Japanese prisoners and take them to the construction site to start working.

Over the past year, Tianjin Wei Port has become an extremely prosperous and affiliated port, and the originally very small Tianjin Wei City has also begun to expand.

It is said that according to Xiao Ruxun's plan, Tianjin Weicheng will become a fortress with equal emphasis on economy and military affairs. The navy at sea is the capital's first line of defense, so Tianjin Weicheng is the second line of defense.

And excluding these factors, the more people who choose to work and live in Tianjin Wei Port is also one of the reasons why this city must be expanded. important town.

Therefore, the expansion of Tianjin Wei is also a matter of course.

Officials and ordinary people came and went in an endless stream. After the prosperity of the Great Qin Shipping, the ships coming and going were also a major feature.

The controversy over sea and river transportation that had been unresolved for decades in the Ming Dynasty ended on Xiao Ruxun's side in three days. It is said that none of the officials who tried their best to support river transportation and refute shipping at the time survived the purge.

The Black Kings of the Central Investigation Department of the Great Qin Dynasty conducted a thorough investigation around the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and came to the conclusion that most of the commercial facilities set up in the towns around the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal are related to officials in the dynasty, and these officials They are all those who strongly support river transport and oppose sea transport.

During this period, the disputes over shipping and river transportation, which had been hugely controversial in the previous Ming Dynasty, were thoroughly investigated. In the former Ming Dynasty, central officials and local gentry and wealthy merchants realized huge profits through the monopoly of an important material in each section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. The facts were also disclosed.

So they were taken away by Xiao Ruxun during the big cleansing period, and they were washed clean without leaving any behind.

Then the "Cao Gang" that gradually took shape was also severely attacked by Xiao Ruxun.

He personally ordered the army to encircle and suppress the "Cao Gang", mobilized the local people to inform them, and beheaded the heads if they caught them. All the small fish and shrimps were sent to do hard labor, becoming the first batch of hard labor to dredge the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

Then Xiao Ruxun stipulated that the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is only used for military supplies, not for civilian use. The transporter is the army and military ships, and the manager is the Central Audit Department. It is completely separated from the government and no one is allowed to interfere.

Then the shipping was fully liberalized.

Since then, the major ports began to prosper, and the major ports began to develop after Xiao Ruxun established the country. Before that, Xiao Ruxun had prepared supporting measures.

Governments at all levels and various functional departments are fully prepared, and anyone who dares to monopolize or form gangs in the port will be severely punished.

At the beginning, some people were stubborn and did not believe in evil, and started gangs and loading and unloading monopoly. They thought that Emperor Xiao had robbed the canal and wanted to give them a way to survive, so they moved their positions to various ports, and then they were reported to the government.

The result is self-evident, the local government immediately dispatched the police to wipe out the gang members, killing the leader, and throwing all the gangsters to Liaodong to do hard work.

Xiao Ruxun does not allow any individual organization that dares to challenge the authority of the central government to appear. Once it appears, it will be killed directly without mercy.

Only then did the major ports begin to operate in an orderly manner, and no one who formed a faction dared to appear. With the deepening of the imperial court's purge, there were no officials who dared to reach out to these aspects.

The lives of the people have been greatly improved. This is what Yuan Huang witnessed with his own eyes. The bad government and persistent diseases of the former Ming Dynasty were wiped out by the Xiao Qin government. He also witnessed it with his own eyes. Seeing such scenes, how could he not feel deeply What about emotion?

Warships were used to transport the Japanese prisoners of war. The ships were large and carried a lot of cargo, and the "Japanese pirates" from the Japanese country were transported. Therefore, not only the government and the army came, but also many ordinary people came to watch the fun.

They don't know that most of the Japanese pirates are actually their own people, only a few Japanese, and Southeast Asian pirates and Europeans, and a proper international detachment. They only know that those who have committed heinous crimes are Japanese pirates and people from the Japanese country, so All Japanese people are Japanese pirates.

This is a very simple concept.

Of course, the real "Japanese pirates" also paid the blood price for the crimes they committed under Xiao Ruxun's land reform policy, and they did not go unpunished.

The people of the former Ming Dynasty had a deep memory of these Japanese pirates. In fact, until Xiao Ruxun entered the dynasty to fight, the southeastern provinces and Shandong and other coastal provinces were also extremely nervous because of the rumors that the Japanese pirates were about to invade. The Japanese pirates that Qi Jiguang and others eliminated reappeared.

The memories of that time are too unforgettable, too many people whose homes were destroyed, and the hatred is so deep that now, decades later, the Japanese kingdom has been destroyed, and the Japanese pirates have been brought back to Daqin to receive them The news of punishment can still become a hot news.

A large number of people looked excited and extremely happy when they saw the Japanese people in ragged clothes who kept getting off the boat. Many people prepared rotten vegetables, leaves, rotten eggs, even stones, etc., and smashed them hard on the way the Japanese people lined up.

"Smash these pirates to death!"

"Call them arrogant!"

"It's over now!"

"Father! Daqin has avenged you!"

"Mom..."

The young people were smashing, just to join in the fun, and the elderly and experienced people were crying, as if they were thinking of their relatives who died tragically back then.

With a clear view of all living beings, Yuan Huang couldn't help but think of the people in his hometown who suffered in the past, the burning homeland under the invasion of Japanese pirates, and the pleasure of marching into North Korea to clean up the Japanese pirates and fight to their heart's content.

Xiao Ruxun!
Xiao Ruxun!
What kind of person are you! ! !
"There were too many people who suffered during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Many people survived until now, and their memories of the Japanese pirates are still very deep. Now that the imperial court has wiped out the Japanese pirates, the people of the whole Daqin are rejoicing. I heard that the three southeastern provinces Over there, several counties that were hit hardest by the disaster have signed the Wanmin Letter, and they want to set up shrines for His Majesty."

Jia Guangnan, the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture, accompanied Yuan Huang and told Yuan Huang what he knew.
