After staying by Situ Chen's side for a long time, even Jia Amnesty has subtly learned some skills of exuding cold air.

Originally, several county magistrates were arguing about various reasons why the mountain should not be blown up. After arguing for a while, they found that Jia Amnesty had not spoken, and his voice gradually weakened.Seeing Jia She's gloomy face, they immediately shut their mouths.

I waited anxiously to accept Jia Amnesty's reprimand.

"It's all over? When it's over, it's my turn to talk." Jia She caressed the piece of Mancui that he picked up cheaply in the afternoon, and looked at the county magistrates in front of him who shrank their necks and dared not speak. .

The prefect of Kunming had told them about it before, and they should have a clear understanding of the road construction.

Whether it is possible to blow up the mountain, Jia Amnesty made it clear that he would send people to the field to consider.If you can't blow up the mountain because of the terrain, then you really can't do anything wrong. If the mountain collapses due to force, it will be worse.

As for the gods and gods of all walks of life, if they feel offended by the explosion of the mountain and road construction, Jia Amnesty also said to let the gods come to him directly, so that he can have a good chat with the gods of all walks of life.

"It is obvious that the road construction is imminent, but you are obstructed in every possible way. Could it be that you want the local people to live in poverty?"

This buttoned hat is too big, no one wants to wear it, and no one can afford it.

After Jia She reprimanded him, he slapped the table hard, and he was so frightened that he and Zhifu Zhao knelt down together.

But Jia Amnesty could tell that although these people had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, they were all convinced.

I don't know how to scold him in my heart.

Many county magistrates thought that Jia She, the governor, had really good ideas.But even if they agreed, nine out of ten of those barbarians would not agree, and the remaining one would still be a baby who couldn't speak.

"If you want to get rich, roads must be built. There is no room for negotiation. If the roads are blocked, everything will be blocked."

Now there are indeed many people who are dissatisfied with the construction of roads in the mountains, but when the roads are smooth and trade starts, the people will have more spare money in their pockets, and when the children in the family can go to school, they will wait to collect the people. Manmin Umbrella as a gift.

The purpose of Jia Amnesty calling all these county magistrates is not only to emphasize the importance of road construction, but also to let them count the things that can be sold as special commodities in the counties under their jurisdiction.At that time, when there are things that can be sold, Jia Amnesty can write a letter and entrust the Xue family's caravan to go to Yunnan to try to return to business.

Who doesn't want to make the people in their jurisdiction rich and make their achievements look better?

Many county magistrates can see that Jia She is determined to change Yunnan.If this thing is really done, they will be able to share a lot of credit by then. Even if public anger is aroused, it is only the governor who is dismissed from office, and it will not be their turn.

No matter how you look at it, you can make money without losing money, so the county magistrates looked at me, and I secretly glanced at you, all rolled up their sleeves and planned to follow Jia Amnesty.

Anyway, the governor will go there when the mountain is about to be blown up to build roads, and then let the governor deal with those who obstruct it.

How could Jia Amnesty fail to see through the wishful thinking of these county magistrates under his command?All the political achievements that made the people rich are eager to grab, and the local people want to throw the pot of dissatisfaction out.

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

"When I go back, I'll put more thought into tidying up. If there are people who want to eat and die, stand up and make room for those who want to benefit the common people." Jia She took a sip of warm water, put the tea bowl heavily on the desk and said: "If the official finds someone with a dead body at that time, the Shangfang sword given to me by His Majesty the Emperor is not just for fun."

Situ Chen has been listening behind the screen. If he didn't want to expose his existence, he would have wanted to applaud Jia Amnesty.

If it weren't for the fact that these people would be used to return to the post to preach the new plan to the people in the future, Situ Chen would have wanted to find out the stubborn people inside and dismiss them on the spot.

"I'm worried that the original intention is good, and the original meaning will be distorted as soon as it is relayed from their mouths. People don't understand that it's a trivial matter, and I'm afraid that it will cause misunderstanding and think it's a bad thing..."

Such things have happened many times in the past dynasties, and Jia Amnesty did not want such a situation to happen in his tenure.

Fortunately, they basically plan to go on-site inspections in most places, and even if there is a misunderstanding, they can explain it as soon as possible, so as not to cause an irreversible situation.

Speaking of field trips, Situ Chen asked how the route of Jia Amnesty's trip was going.

Jia Amnesty hung up the drawn map for Situ Chen to see, and saw the straight lines with interlaced latitude and longitude popped out of it with rope ink. Situ Chen said something that looked quite like a gossip array.

The center is Kunming. There are eight roads extending in eight directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast. surrounding villages and towns.

"It's okay to say it's like a gossip formation. I got the inspiration from seeing the spider web hanging in the corner of the yamen room." Jia She felt that the gossip formation that Situ Chen said sounded much taller than the spider web he thought. Fortunately, He hasn't revealed this name to others yet, so he will use the name Baguazhen from now on.

Situ Chen has long been used to Jia She's unrestrained imagination, and it is not surprising that Jia She can think of such a map from a spider's web.

"Every ink line on it represents a road. It's a coincidence that after drawing the map in this way, it only needs to blow up two caves. It's just a blessing from God."

Jia Amnesty held up a tree branch and pointed to Situ Chen the two mountains.

Situ Chen looked at the positions of the two mountains, and felt that they looked like the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi picture.Perhaps this was originally arranged by God, just waiting for a person with a chance to break through the mystery and build such a huge city like a gossip array to benefit the common people...

"There are so many routes, why did you choose to build the road to Yuanyang first?" Situ Chen saw that there were numbers beside the ink lines, and asked "one" next to Yuanyang County.

It stands to reason that if you want to do business with the Xue family in a few days, you should build the direction of Jinling first.This Yuanyang is not far from An Nanguo, do you still want to trade with An Nanguo in the future?But An Nanguo has something to trade. It can't be to buy some elephants from Annanguo to transport things back.

Situ Chen wondered what Jia Amnesty was going to do with this plan.But what is certain is that there are things in Yuanyang that are worth seeing first.

As a relatively wealthy Yuanyang, there is indeed something that attracts Jia She.

"There are terraced fields in that place, which are some ladder-like fields reclaimed on gentler hillsides. I want to see what the terraced fields are like. If they are really good, they can be promoted to the surrounding areas. No one will complain that there is too much food at home. , if we can reclaim terraced fields on the hillside, we can get a lot more food."

Jia Amnesty also had other purposes, but because it was just a random idea and hadn't formed a plan, he didn't explain it to Situ Chen for the time being.

As soon as he said it was like a ladder, Situ Chen suddenly realized.Such a planting method that can produce more grain is indeed worth promoting, but such behaviors that destroy hillsides cannot be done recklessly.After all, there is a lot of rain here. If the soil on the mountain is exposed too much, the rain will wash away the soil and form a mudslide, which will be a fatal threat to the residents down the hillside.

"We will investigate and measure when we promote it. Besides, we can't win the reclamation of so many mountainous areas. There shouldn't be any problems." Jia She felt that Situ Chen's worry was necessary.No matter what they do now, they will be stared at by countless people, just waiting for them to make a mistake, and they will not let them go.

It is true to be careful when sailing for thousands of years.

After reading the map, Jia Amnesty summoned the officials responsible for the deployment of gunpowder.This matter is Jia She's most important thing. If there is no help in road construction, he may never see the day when all the roads are completed in his life.

Before there was Yu Gong who moved mountains, and after that there was Mr. Jia who built roads.

But Jia Amnesty didn't want the endless children and grandchildren to spend their time on the repair road.His Majesty the Emperor gave him three years, so he will strive to build the main road within three years, and it will be easier to build the remaining branch lines.

As for the two caves... After the main line is repaired and the branch lines start to be repaired, the lives of the people in Yunnan should improve a lot, and it will be much easier to use gunpowder and manpower.

Just building roads requires a large number of young and middle-aged laborers, but the laborers also have to farm the land to support their families. If both sides are busy at the same time, it will be exhausting. At that time, a good job may really be ruined.Although Jia Amnesty didn't think it through, he still couldn't help telling Situ Chen the plan in his heart first, and helped him analyze whether it would work.

It was similar to exchanging wool with Tatar back then, except that when they arrived in Kunming, they bought Annan's grain.With An Nanguo's food reserves, the pressure on the young and middle-aged people who build the roads will be reduced a lot, so maybe the speed of work will be faster.

auzw.com "Enhou's dedication to serving the people is commendable, but don't make things too difficult for yourself." What Situ Chen meant was that Jia Amnesty could buy a part of the grain as a reserve for emergencies, but it would be unrealistic to rely entirely on Annan's grain.Even if Jia Amnesty has so much money to buy grain, An Nanguo doesn't have that much surplus grain

It's better to think about whether there is any other labor force.

"Enhou thinks... can I borrow the soldiers from the King of Nan'an?" Situ Chen felt that the soldiers in the hands of the King of Nan'an should either be supported, and why not borrow them to build mountain roads, which is also a kind of exercise for the soldiers.Moreover, the construction of the road is completed, and the credit goes to Nan'an County King.

The king and concubine of Nan'an County are in harmony with each other, and now they have three sons, how can they think about the future of the next two sons.

Presumably the king of Nan'an County should not be too hesitant.

"I'm afraid that the king of Nan'an County will have thoughts that he shouldn't have when he sees that it is so easy to use."

But Jia Amnesty knew that in his previous life, the king of Nan'an County looked honest, and when he was old, he didn't let go of his desire to separate himself from one side.She took the initiative to provoke Qianxiang Kingdom, but was defeated and captured. The old princess was reluctant to part with her own daughter, so she accepted Tanchun as her goddaughter and sent her to Qianxiang Kingdom instead of the princess to get married.

Such a person should be carefully considered.

Do not use suspicious people, and do not doubt employing people.If you don't rely on the power of Nan'an County King, it will be much slower to do this.As for the king of Nan'an, Situ Chen didn't believe that his father didn't put eyeliner next to the king of Nan'an.

As long as Nan'an County King really committed such a heinous capital crime, it is estimated that his father's eyeliner would make Nan'an County King "outside" pass away when Nan'an County King rebelled.

"I'm going to talk to Nan'an County King about this matter." Situ Chen, as a prince who has been knighted, the same words from Situ Chen's mouth are more important than those uttered by Jia Amnesty. Nan'an County King Maybe I can agree more simply.

The result of the discussion between Situ Chen and Jia She was that the two of them went to Yuanyang together first. During Jia She's investigation, Situ Chen rushed to the Annan Palace on the border to discuss the matter with Nan'an County King.

It is estimated that Jia Amnesty's investigation is over, and Situ Chen has already obtained the results and rushed back.

"Don't worry, even if I go to Nan'an County King alone, I won't dare to harm me." Situ Chen patted Jia Amnesty's shoulder, telling Jia Amnesty not to worry.How could Jia Amnesty not be worried, after much deliberation, he simply gave Situ Chen the Shangfang sword given to him by His Majesty the Emperor. "My lord, let's take it. What if the king of Nan'an is playing tricks?"

An extra layer of self-defense means an extra layer of security, Situ Chen took the Shang Fang sword from Jia Amnesty without any excuses.

When Zhifu Zhao learned that the governor and the governor were going to Yuanyang County, he immediately arranged a carriage and a guide who could speak the Yi language, and gave them two quick booklets on the Yi language.

You are so good... what are you doing?

Fragrance is mixed... what do you want to eat?

Heijimuwa... come back soon

Remogeada oh...sorry

Yoajiu...it doesn't matter

Mosu Yiting Yiba... Are the old people at home all right?

……

"These are the approximate sounds. The governor and the governor can ask Ah Cheng, who is leading the way, to read it to you two." Zhao Zhifu also told Jia She that most of the people living in Yuanyang County are Yi people, and they know some Yi people. Language they will be more warm reception.

With so many skills, Jia Amnesty flipped through the pamphlet, said thank you, and got into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Situ Chen asked Ah Cheng to read everything in the booklet as slowly as possible. Not only did he follow along, but he also pulled Jia She over to read it together.

Jia She felt that the Yi language was much more difficult than Chinese, but seeing Situ Chen studying so hard, he felt ashamed to lie on the side and sleep.No matter what, you have to meet for a little while, so that you don't have the cheek to say that it is enough for Situ Chen to learn it by himself, and he will just listen to Situ Chen's report.

When he arrived in Yuanyang County, Jia Amnesty really learned a lot, even though he was tortured by Situ Chen's strict gaze and occasional school exams...

The county magistrate of Yuanyang returned to Yuanyang from Kunming two days earlier than Jia She. When he heard that the two adults were going to visit the terraced fields, he immediately ordered his men to go down to prepare. Although there was nothing to prepare, the carriage was ready and the two adults went directly That's fine.

"There are many terraced fields in Yuanyang County, so why hasn't such good planting experience spread out?" Jia Amnesty was the first to ask his most curious question.

In fact, this is because the previous county magistrates in Yuanyang did not pay attention to this issue, not because of the influence of a certain county magistrate.

The answer to the first question did not satisfy Jia She, so Jia She directly asked the county magistrate for information about terraced fields.

What kind of hillsides can terraces be exploited?What size area is it suitable for?How can we ensure that there will be no impact on the downstream when the terraced fields are more reclaimed?

As a result, the county magistrate asked three questions, and Jia She was so angry that he wanted to take off the county magistrate's black hat.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was angry, the county magistrate felt that he was too wronged.He doesn't farm, so where can he know...

"Come on, I'm going to investigate in person!" Jia Amnesty slapped the table and got up and left. Situ Chen glanced at the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said, "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Even if you don't know much about farming, you can always lead the way, right?

The county magistrate hurriedly stood up from the ground, and took Situ Chen and Jia Amnesty to the terraced fields outside the county seat in a carriage.Fortunately, Ah Cheng was there, so it was very smooth to communicate with the Yi people.

Jia Amnesty also showed off a few lines of Yi dialect that he had just learned.

With outsiders around, Situ Chen resisted raising his hand to knock Situ Chen on the head, but just patted Jia She on the shoulder and said, "Enhou, the Yi nationality speaks really badly, you need to practice more."

It's only been a long time since I learned it, and it's good to be able to speak.

"Practice must be practiced. When the prince returns from Nan'an County King, he will definitely look at me with admiration!"

"Then I'm looking forward to seeing you with admiration."

The inspection cannot be done in a day or two, and it is far from enough to rely on Jia She alone. Jia She took a few small officials with experience in farming to record detailed data bit by bit in the fields. .

At this time, Situ Chen began to rush to the frontier as planned, seeking the help of Nan'an County King.

Fortunately, Yuanyang is not far from the frontier, and the road is relatively easy to walk. Situ Chen arrived at the frontier after two days of driving.After tidying up, Situ Chen came to visit with the Shangfang sword that Jia Amnesty gave him for self-defense.

The king of Nan'an County has long known that not only has a new governor come to Yunnan, but even the emperor's son has condescended to come to Yunnan to be the governor.Thinking about the message that suddenly appeared in the capital a while ago, Nan'an County King seriously suspected that Situ Chen and Jia Amnesty really had an affair, and were "exiled" here after being discovered by the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor wanted to keep out of sight and out of mind, instead of sending someone over to monitor him.

Situ Chen was very uncomfortable being stared at by the Nan'an County King's curious gaze, so he directly talked about the road construction in the future.

"This matter is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. After the event is completed, half of the credit will go to the county king. What is the county king's opinion?" Situ Chen didn't beat around the bush, and directly offered such a condition to the Nan'an county king.

The king of Nan'an touched his stubble for a while, then suddenly threw the teacup on the ground: "Come here! Quickly arrest this villain who pretends to be His Highness King Qin and wants to assassinate this king!"

"presumptuous!"
