Turbulent Times Chapter 1416: Wei Zheng lost confidence

You know, affected by the Jiupin Zhengzhong system, the common people are real pariahs in the eyes of officials these days. The gap between the clouds in the sky and the mud on the ground has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the state of being ruled, exploited and bullied by officials, the common people have more hatred and hostility towards officials these years, and at least distrust them.

However, these people in front of them are happily working together, occasionally yelling and cursing loudly, but the expressions of the people and officials are completely different from those in other places. The scene of labor is warm and harmonious. People seem to be very happy.

Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If every county under Wang Junlin's command is like this, it seems that I really did not make a mistake."

………

………

Walking upstream along the canal, Wei Zheng saw countless squeaky large waterwheels driven by the wind along the way. The water flow drives the huge blades of the water mill, and the blades drive the huge stone mill, which grinds the grains of the previous year, and then grinds white flour. He has never seen this kind of stone mill before, and the efficiency is so fast. He was surprised, especially the whiteness and fineness of the flour made him feel unbelievable...

Under the perennial wind force of the monsoon on the east sea, the tall waterwheel scoops the river water into the tall water platform with buckets, and then pours the river water into the tall water platform along the cheerful water flow. In the high ditch...

Wei Zheng found himself fascinated by these things. It's not that he has never seen a waterwheel before, but it is so exquisitely designed and so easy to use, especially it is the first time he has seen a waterwheel driven by wind.

"Is this place really remote Fanyang County? People in the world only know Wang Junlin's fierce and poisonous reputation, but they don't know that Wang Junlin has created miracles in saving the world and helping the people." Wei Zheng murmured with emotion.

Although Wei Zheng is also from a noble family, he is not a high-ranking person who does not eat fireworks. He knows that water conservancy has a very obvious role in helping farming, and the huge difference in harvest between irrigated land and dry land is the result. It cannot be ignored by anyone.

After Wei Zheng observed carefully for a while and figured out the basic working principle of the waterwheel and water mill, he set his sights on the dotted canals.

“…

...The land is flat and open, and the houses are like mulberry and bamboo in Liangtian Meike. The traffic in the rice paddies, chickens and dogs meet each other. Among them, the exchanges are..."

For outsiders, the farmland looks like nothing special, but in the eyes of people like Wei Zheng, a complete picture soon appeared.

This is a beautiful landscape painting. In Wei Zheng's opinion, there is no need to use color, but ink with appropriate thickness, which can best express the current scene.

Yellow dogs pounce on wild birds in the fields, and young children roar in the newly emerging mulberry fields...

In such an environment, Wei Zheng had a feeling that he was too lazy to care about all the disputes in the world, and devoted himself to the cognition of new things.

There are many new things in Fanyang County, and these are just the structural design drawings that Nie Xiaoyu occasionally passed by, saw some things and scenes, or listened to Wang Junlin's words, and then handed them over to the following People based on research and manufacture of blueprints.

Not to mention wind-powered waterwheels and water mills, there is also a four-wheeled carriage with a turntable that can carry heavy loads. In the river, there are flat-bottomed boats that can be transported back and forth in very shallow waters. Gantry cranes that lift thousands of kilograms of weight, and light single-arm cranes that can rotate.

Everything made Wei Zheng deeply moved and even shocked.

And along the way, Wei Zheng also had a general understanding of some systems and policies implemented by the Fanyang County government, and found that Fanyang County was clearly already a country within a country, which was completely different from the government system of the Sui Dynasty. .

"It has only been more than three years since Wang Junlin came to Fanyang County, and it may have been less than two years since he really controlled Fanyang County, but he already has a deep-rooted feeling, not to mention the army, and there is a faint feeling of being invincible in the world. Feeling. But I don’t want Wang Junlin to be so outstanding in internal affairs, Wang Junlin and his officials... How did they do it?”

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng suddenly became a little worried. He ran all the way to recommend himself, because he wanted to realize his ambition under Wang Junlin's command, contribute to the stable life of all people in the world, and contribute to ending the troubled times, but Wang Junlin and his officials had already done something. He is so good, and he is just a strange little official in the county government thousands of miles away. Not to mention that Wang Junlin regards himself as a spy, how likely is it that Wang Junlin can reuse him?

From Wei Zheng's point of view, the place Wang Junlin governs is like a real dragon just born

, is growing healthily and vigorously. Once this real dragon is given a certain amount of time to make this real dragon grow up, it will inevitably sweep the world.

But if this real dragon has been nesting in Fanyang County and the two counties newly occupied by the Far East Army and it is difficult to stretch its body, and only these two or three million people support it, it will never truly grow up.

Wei Zheng believed that King Qin An and his generals and courtiers should have realized this, so he resigned from office, took all his savings, and under the protection of several loyal followers and guards, he trekked across mountains and rivers.

No matter how slowly Wei Zheng walked along the way, he still arrived in Fanyang County after more than ten days.

For Wei Zheng, more than ten days seems to have passed a century. There are some things and changes in Fanyang County, which give Wei Zheng a feeling of reopening a world. This feeling fills Wei Zheng with the memories of his youth. Passion and longing.

If Wei Zheng was a little surprised by the changes and prosperity in the counties below Fanyang County, then the prosperity of the current Fanyang County City shocked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng had never been to Fanyang County before, but he still knew the status of Fanyang County in the Sui Dynasty. Compared with other counties of the same level, the gap was not the slightest bit.

When he was in Wuyang County, he knew from the mouths of some businessmen who traveled long distances that Fanyang County is now very rich, especially the grain production is very high, but when he saw the real Fanyang County, he realized that this wealth and his It's completely different from what I imagined—it's not that everyone has money, but that everyone's life is getting better and better every day.

Wei Zheng is not only from an aristocratic family, but also a scholar who respects Confucianism. However, he is different from other scholars and scholars from aristocratic families. The subtle things are very interesting and have been studied.

At the same time, unlike other aristocratic scholars who are prejudiced against medicine, farming, and geography, he has also studied them.

Before he came, he thought that Wang Junlin's focus must be on the army, and all the people tightened their belts to support the army hungry.

However, this is not the case in fact. He has not seen the strength of the Far Eastern Army, but he can be sure that people's livelihood is also the focus of Wang Junlin, and this is exactly what he likes.
