Pingjiang is modern Suzhou. Pingjiang is prosperous and is inseparable from its climate. Lin Yuan learned when he was studying geography. Suzhou has four distinct seasons, abundant rain, rice, wheat and rapeseed, cotton, sericulture, forest fruit, Suzhou There are also many famous specialties-Chengyang Lake hairy crabs, etc., which are marked with a subtropical monsoon oceanic climate.

Fan Dacheng in the Song Dynasty once left a book saying: "Spring is warm and flowers are fragrant, and when you are young, there is heaven at the top, and Suzhou and Hangzhou at the bottom."

Poets in the Tang Dynasty also said: "People say you come from the south of the Yangtze River, and I say you come from heaven."

When Lin Yuan saw Pingjiang's granary, he realized that these compliments were not exaggerated.

The abundance of granaries in Pingjiang is extremely rare. In other cities and prefectures, the grains and grasses are all old grains. Officials must fish for oil and water. New grains will not be put into the granaries. The grains in the granaries are mostly old grains from a few years ago, Lin Yuan I have also seen a place where the granary was full of moldy grains. I left it there for more than ten years, not to mention eating it, and it turned into a bit coarser sand by rubbing it.

Don’t the former officials of Pingjiang be greedy?

Naturally greedy.

But no matter how greedy they are, the granary in Pingjiang is always full. Although there are old grains in it, there are also a lot of new grains.

Probably because of the good weather, the rice grains grown in Pingjiang are plump after husking, and it is fragrant and fragrant after cooking.

After the wheat is ground, the pastry is more chewy.

Lin Yuan was holding a bowl of rice in his hand now, white rice and a boiled fish, eating to his satisfaction.

He has traveled for so long and he hasn't paid much attention to food. There are too many things every day, just like a third year in high school. He is too busy to eat. Even eating, he just fools around. He stays busy if he is hungry. He had only one year in high school, but he had gone through a high-pressure life for several years. There was something in people's minds, and nothing was fragrant to eat, and he couldn't taste the dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

Chen Baisong just came back to fight the soldiers. The two of them sat at the table to have a meal. Lin Yuan drank a sip of chicken soup and leaned back on the chair satisfactorily. He was so full that he was so full that his stomach was a little bulging, but Chen Baisong's complexion remained unchanged. The next eight bowls of white rice are still ready to be filled.

Even Lin Yuan, a man who has experienced a long body stage, felt that this appetite was too much.

After all, the bowl is not small.

He wondered: "Where did you eat so much?"

I haven't seen Chen Baisong getting fat, but his muscles are getting stronger.

Chen Baisong put down the bowl and chopsticks, he just ate the last chopsticks fish.

Chen Baisong can’t spit out thorns. I don’t know how to learn a new way of eating fish. Chew the fish and rice together. If there are thorns, swallow them together. Take another bite of rice without chewing, just swallow hard, so the fish bones won’t get stuck. throat.

Lin Yuan was horrified at the sight, fearing that Chen Baisong would choke to death in the next second.

Chen Baisong's sitting posture is better than Lin Yuan. He is stronger than Lin Yuan, with his back straightened, and his whole person looks very imposing. After all, he is a general who has been trained from thousands of troops and is no longer the one who drove the cart before. Grandma.

People are going to change.

Lin Yuan had forgotten what he had heard, but now thinking about it, it makes sense.

"Nothing in this world remains the same, the only thing that doesn't change is change."

Chen Baisong said: "I always feel I can't eat enough."

Lin Yuan: "How did you eat during the march?"

Chen Baisong thought for a while: "Dry food is enough."

The dry foods Chen Baisong mentioned are actually miscellaneous flour cakes. Because they are afraid of being broken, they are very durable and hard to life. Lin Yuan tried once and could only bite in small bites, but the big bite couldn’t move at all. If it can burn some Hot water, put the dry cake in and cook for a while, it's better, but it doesn't taste much, it can only fill the stomach.

Soldiers are marching. They can eat meat if they win a battle. The meat is bacon and sausages. These two are not easy to spoil. In addition, Lin Yuan has salt in his hands, so I don’t need to have a headache because of salt. Fresh meat is not good, and it won’t last for two days. It's about to start to smell, and it's impossible to bring ice on the march.

"I asked people to think about it." Lin Yuan stood up, and Chen Baisong followed Lin Yuan.

The two of them digested in the corridor. The flowers and plants in Pingjiang grew better than those in Gaoyou. The flowers in the yard were full of energy. You don't need to take care of them too much. They can grow well by themselves, and they will only show up when they are about to wither. When he was tired, Lin Yuan had something in his heart, and Chen Baisong was not too talkative, so he walked quietly.

"It's enough for Pingjiang to keep fifty thousand soldiers." Lin Yuan said to Chen Baisong, "you take the rest out and do your job."

Chen Baisong didn't ask either—he was the one who liked Lin Yuan the most. After Lin Yuan gave the order, Chen Baisong would execute it. He would not ask why, nor would he make his own interpretation.

What Lin Yuan established was a new regime, and every regime should operate like a machine so that there would be no place to get stuck.

Discussing politics, managing the people’s livelihood, serving as a soldier, and fighting in a war, each link is closely connected and tightly integrated to have stronger execution capabilities.

If the following orders are issued, the people below have their own ideas, even if there is only one point, the execution will be greatly reduced.

In fact, modernity and ancient times are similar in one thing, that is, centralized power.

The modern era seems to be decentralized, but no matter which country, it is still a small group of people who make decisions. If everyone can make decisions, they can control government orders, and the country will be in chaos.

Isn't that the one who came to offer Lin Yuan Xianzhou the city?

They overthrew the rule above and distributed power to those who followed them in accordance with their promises.

The results of it?

They can't make it at all. There are a thousand sayings with a thousand mouths, and everyone has an angle for everyone to speak.

People have selfishness, but some people will pay attention to justice even if they have selfishness.

But some people have only selfishness and no family and country, they will become worms. If those in power do not find out, the worms will grow bigger and bigger, form cliques, occupy a greater right to speak, and eventually even those in power Can not be shaken.

The ruler and his ministers themselves are mutual checks and balances. The ruler is strong and the minister is weak. If the monarch is a tyrant, the courtiers can't do anything, they can only cry and hang themselves.

If the emperor is weak and the minister is strong, the emperor is just a shield, like the current Anfeng, wouldn't Liu Futong control the government?Xiao Ming Wang is just a sign in his hand.

If Xiao Ming Wang dares to take back the power in Liu Futong's hands and dare to confront Liu Futong head-on, Liu Futong can paralyze the government.

Without courtiers, is the king still the king?

People are profit-seeking creatures. Following Liu Futong can hold real power and get promoted.

Following King Xiao Ming, even if King Xiao Ming is promoted to him, he can hold the real power, can his words be useful?

People are talking about orthodoxy, and they know in their hearts that who holds power, who is orthodox.

Chen Baisong said: "Someone gave me a gift."

Lin Yuan: "Who?"

Chen Baisong said: "Zhao Chengguang."

Lin Yuan has a question mark on his face, who is this person?Never heard of it.

Chen Baisong: "I used to be a village head. He led the villagers to the court and captured Jianglin."

... Lin Yuan remembered that this person was not among the famous uprising leaders in the late Yuan Dynasty.

It is estimated that because of lack of ability, it was not recorded in the history books?After all, there were anti-reactions in the end of Yuan Dynasty, and there were anti-reactions everywhere.

Chen Baisong said again: "He also asked someone to send me a letter and let me show it to you."

Lin Yuan got the letter with a magical expression, Zhao Chengguang was a madman, so mad that he couldn't laugh or cry.

The letter means: "I went the other way and killed all those corrupt officials. I heard that you were a good messenger. We are both the same. I am going to ascend the throne recently. If you are all right, come over and attend my enthronement ceremony. I’ll give you an official title at that time. I’m sure I won’t give you a junior title. I will be the emperor. You will be the king. We will discuss the title at that time. You must come. If you don’t come, you just look down on me. I have sent troops to you."

Lin Yuan handed the letter to Chen Baisong.

After Chen Baisong stubbornly read it, his expression suddenly became fierce. The whole figure looked like a sharply opened knife, buzzing to drink blood: "I'm going to take this person's head!"

Lin Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "No, why waste your troops."

Lin Yuan continued to move forward: "There are too many people like this. If you fight all of them, wouldn't it be exhausting?"

Some rebels are just looking profitable. Thousands of people under their hands dare to proclaim themselves emperors, seal a bunch of officials, come to the Sangongsixyuan, and become the emperor of the earth where no one pays attention. When the world is settled, if If you meet someone in power who wants to show kindness, maybe you can get an official position and continue to be the emperor. If you meet someone who is unwilling to show kindness, it will be over.

Just like the court, do you really want to send troops to fight the rebels directly?

Of course I do, but the reason for recruiting security every time, although there are also reasons for its own strength, there are also reasons for acting.

You see, he reversed, but I didn't beat him, as long as he surrendered, I would give him the official.

Are you tired too?Then if you accept the recruitment, I will give you an official job.

If the Yuan Dynasty is not overthrown afterwards, all those who have been recruited will be unlucky.

But most of the people who have been recruited are not aware of this. Their eyes can only see what is in front of them, and they can only see the benefits that can be obtained immediately.

Chen Baisong looked at the letter with a grim expression.

Lin Yuan: "Don't be so serious, just smile."

Chen Baisong: "..."

However, Pingjiang was inferior to Gaoyou. Gaoyou was in chaos at the time. The old rules were broken and Lin Yuan could successfully establish a new order. However, Pingjiang did not experience the chaos of Gaoyou. Pingjiang’s rules were stable and people were used to it. Now, officials only know this method.

It is very difficult to change.

Lin Yuan sighed and said to Chen Bosong, "You go back and rest first."

Chen Baisong nodded: "Master, take care of your body."

Lin Yuan: "I know."

He had to think about how to change Ping Jiang into what he wanted with minimal damage.

Now that Pingjiang has changed hands, the resistance of the change is less, and when all the dust settles, if you want to change, the difficulty will change from three stars to ten stars.
