Chapter 249 Government Decree Reveal, Theory of People's Will
On July 12, 2018, the second year of Zhongping, on the Jiayin day of Xinwei, it was already twelve days after Lu Bu returned to Yunzhong Prefecture. On this day, some government orders that lasted for nearly a year were suddenly removed in front of the public notice board of Yunzhong County, and replaced them with new official documents and decrees.
Many people with different clothes stopped in front of the public notice board and were reluctant to leave for a long time. However, because the frontier deep in the clouds, the literacy rate of the people was extremely low. Many of them could only stare at the few pictures on the official paper, and secretly guessing something.
"Give me aside, give me aside quickly. Wang Xiaolian from the north of the city has come. He has read a lot and can definitely tell us what is written in the official document!" A sharp-eyed man recognized Wang Xiaolian, who was wearing a light ink blue shirt and walked up happily, and shouted quickly.
The people who were flocking to the public notice board immediately took the initiative to make way and looked at Wang Xiaolian with admiration. In this era when everything was inferior and only had high school students, a scholar and a scholar who had been elected by the county magistrate, even if they were not accepted as officials later, they were not comparable to ordinary people like them.
Wang Xiaolian was originally just a child from a poor family. Because his father died early and his mother became depressed and sick. He was forced to live. He went out to be a servant at a very young age, and while studying secretly. He was very smart. With the only few opportunities to be a book boy, he only compared his playboys with his little masters...
However, the painful experience of being a filial and honest person but failing to seek an official made him a little disheartened. After that, he realized that the society was dark, so he barely lived by teaching some young children. However, his benignity was very kind, otherwise he would not have come to the buzzing notice board to explain the newly announced government orders to the public for free.
This is not the first time he helped explain for free, and it is definitely not the last time. Perhaps this is also the only persistence of him as a scholar in "learning is useless".
"The county government amnesty order: During the Han Dynasty, people in Wuling fished for their careers. They walked by the stream and forgot the distance and distance of the road. Suddenly, they met a peach blossom forest. The peach blossom land was surrounded by hundreds of steps, with no miscellaneous trees in it, and the grass was delicious and the fallen flowers were colorful. The fisherman was very surprised and moved forward again, wanting to penetrate the forest.
When the forest is full of water, you will find a mountain. The mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Then you will leave the boat and enter through the mouth. At first, it is very narrow, and you will be able to understand people. After walking for dozens of steps, you will suddenly become clear. The land is flat and the houses are beautiful, with fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. The fields are in the traffic, and chickens and dogs are heard. The intercourse between them is planted, and men and women are dressed like outsiders. The yellow hair is drooping, and they are happy and happy.
When he saw the fisherman, he was shocked and asked where he had been. He answered it. He wanted to go home and set up wine and kill chickens for food. When he heard that this person came to ask about it, he said that his ancestors avoided the chaos in the Qin Dynasty and led his wife to this desperate situation and did not come out again. He was separated from outsiders. When asked what generation it was, he did not know that there was a Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He said to everyone that he had said something and sighed. The rest of the people came to his house again, and they all went out to eat and drink. He stopped for a few days and left. The person in this said, "It is not worth telling the outsiders."
…………
When Wang Xiaolian first read it, he frowned frequently in his heart. The beginning is simply absurd! This is not a stern official document, it is obviously a mysterious and strange story. He continued to read it with critical intentions. After a while, he wanted to slander his face. Wrong, wrong, this is not a mysterious and strange story. This is simply a great place of ambition. This is simply a paradise on earth where you live and work in peace, and a paradise that every man and the people can't find with their lifelong energy. Scholars are already serious and more emotional than ordinary people. Wang Xiaolian couldn't help but become obsessed with the beautiful scenes of the peach blossoms, even if he was just an ordinary member of this paradise.
The people around were filled with the slightest fog of Wang Xiaolian's ups and downs. Don't think that they only understand classical Chinese. The formation of classical Chinese was just a poor man and scholars who deleted the unimportant words in order to remember more things on the heavy bamboo slips. Over time, they got used to this writing format, and when the paper emerged, they were unable to change the world.
"Can you speak more bluntly in vernacular?" Some people who don't know much about literacy complained.
Wang Xiaolian was awakened from his immersion, and smiled apologetically, and explained it carefully in vernacular. It has to be said that the charm of the Peach Blossom Land has no boundary between time and space, just like the fiery red peonies, day after day, year after year, but the flowers still cannot hide their dazzlingness. The charm of artistic works is like a fantasy village made of crystals, allowing those people in the clouds who have extremely lack of imagination to experience the pleasure of bungee jumping.
"My mother, I've never imagined that there would be such a beautiful place. I really want to go there, even at a glance! I wonder if the girl is beautiful there?" The strong man with a bearded face fell into imagination with tenderness.
"When you see outsiders coming, you will set up wine and kill chickens for food! Tsk tsk, what is that place? It's so good! Ordinary people are so wealthy, unlike now, you have to make careful calculations even if you eat fried dough sticks or soy milk for a few copper coins!" The nagging woman said with envy.
When Wang Xiaolian saw the trouble of the people around him, he did not disturb him. While they were involuntarily falling into imagination, he quickly looked at the content below.
"Loan Order: If you lie down and make your relatives sick or your parents sick, you have no money to treat them. As long as you stay in Yunzhong County for half a year, you can have the right to apply for an interest-free loan from the Yunzhong County Magistrate's Office. The minimum repayment date cannot be less than seven days, and the maximum date cannot exceed one year."
"Labor Order: If the people in Yunzhong County need to perform labor service in the future, they will no longer only provide simple food and clothing, but will also provide no less than double the wages of servants in the miscellaneous shops. If the refugees outside Yunzhong County are strictly approved for entry, if they need to perform labor service, they will enjoy two-thirds of the benefits of local people."
"The Relocation Order: If you want to become a resident in Yunzhong County, you must go through three processes: doctor's investigation, physical examination and registration, and city guards, so that you can become a preparatory people in Yunzhong County. If you stay for half a year, you will be a formal people."
“…………”
The dozen or so decrees of the government were shocked by Wang Xiaolian. He was very eager to know who the government was written by this. It was even more difficult to imagine what kind of finance and power would be supported by it if he really did this so that the official documents that made the people look forward to and were closer to the Peach Blossom Land would not be a piece of empty text.
In particular, although several of the decrees did not have famous quotes, they were faintly contrary to some of the implicit rules of the Han Dynasty. This kind of fearlessness made him a little worried that he would be boycotted by many aristocratic families for the sake of their interests.
However, when he saw the signature of this official document, he put down everything in an instant. Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, five big words with heavy ink are enough to explain everything. People in Yunzhong do not know Lu Bu, just as ridiculous as immortals do not know the Emperor of Heaven. Who is Lu Bu? What did he do for Yunzhong? I am afraid that even the nursery rhymes of three-year-old children appear.
At this time, the crowd's consciousness became a little more concentrated and gradually calmed down. He then explained the contents of the official documents to those people who did not recognize words. During this period, he didn't understand and asked him to answer patiently. In a blink of an eye, the crowd gradually dispersed. Many people left with little faith and doubt about the new policy.
With his tired body and dry mouth, he wanted to find a small tea stall to drink a few sips of herbal tea to moisten his mouth. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the county soldiers who had been maintaining order and expressionless faces. They took him to a remote courtyard where Aide Wang met many half-baked scholars who were as poor as him. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end that made people worry and fear. A big man who seemed to belong to the army met them and gave them a task, which was to go to the streets and alleys to explain the content of the new order to the people clearly, and not let the people think randomly.
The dozen people who were assigned to him to work with him took away the Wuzhu coins in four small boxes as big as fists. It was their monthly reward. They were all very content. Only Wang Xiaolian realized something, but he said nothing. He held the heavy Wuzhu coins and his heart suddenly became full.
…………
The irritable sun set down the mountain, and the earth could not bear to bake it. However, Lu Bu did not go to bed early, and sent Yan Qingyi, who had been obsessed with her love, to the side early. Then, with the shining candlelight, he picked up the official documents he had reported and read them carefully word by word.
Any new policy, whether it is a good or a bad policy, is the most dangerous when the government decree is issued. It may cause a good new policy to die in the womb and may cause bad policies that lose their hearts. Therefore, controlling the public opinion of the people is the most willing to do by many people in the deep high positions, and Lu Bu is of course no exception.
However, those means of controlling public opinion, Lu Bu knew very well that they could only solve the temporary urgent problem, and in the end most of them could not withstand the test of facts. If you treat the people as fools, then you are the real fool. However, this period of stability is enough. When the people experience the benefits of the new policy in person, even if Lu Bu is thousands of miles away, someone will praise him.
Controlling public opinion is just a trivial matter, and Lu Bu is effortless to use it, but Lu Bu will not care about those little clevernesses. Standing at his height, he cares about the real people's hearts, and only the real people's hearts.
Since returning to Yunzhong, Lu Bu has been thinking about a question: How can the people's hearts be determined?
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. Lu Bu's words were numb, but how did the people calm down? Think about it carefully, it was nothing more than the food and clothing of life, the warmth of the family, the dual pleasure of material and spirit... In layman's terms, it is: if there is surplus food at home, there is surplus money in your hands, friends can afford to eat, and the wife can take it out when she goes out. Finally, add one: In this world where men are superior to women, son-in-law must be a pure man!
Then after thinking about it, Lu Bu had to say that it was still money, money! Without money and without material foundation, there would be no beautiful things. Don’t think that the ancients were simpler and kinder than modern people, but when it comes to money, there were so many goals for a mu of thin land.
Lu Bu has experienced so much, but he is no longer Wu Xia Amon. He has learned to speculate on this unpredictable end of the Han Dynasty with the greatest malice.
Since they have no money, let them have a place to make money. If they have a place to make money, the people will be peaceful and peaceful!
"Old friends do not only have relatives, not only their children, but also their children. Let the elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to use, the young have a place to grow, and the widows, widows, widows, orphans, orphans, and disabled people have a place to raise." Lu Bu hopes that this situation will occur one day under his rule. Even if this collapsed era is not so easy to change.
Then I will learn from Yugong to move mountains, and my descendants will seek it forever!
