Chapter 103
Luo Zining specially asked someone to compile textbooks and distribute them to these students, so that they could study according to the contents of the books.
In addition to the two thousand people sent here, Luo Zining also selected a group of people from the fiefdom to study in the school and take the exam together.
In the future, if he and Huo Lingzhi want to rule the entire country, they will need more talents, and the thinking of the people in the fief has changed and they are better trained.
Luo Zining is afraid that there will be another natural disaster this year. The people in the fief have already planted seeds that have been soaked in the water of the spiritual spring, but the grain grown in Lincheng and the newly occupied fief has not been soaked in the water of the spiritual spring.He couldn't even collect it, and the food he stored couldn't control the people in so many places.
He drank a lot of spiritual spring water overnight, and now he does not use the water meter to receive the water, does not cost money, and will not stop the water, he can take as much as he wants.
The received water is directly put into large wooden barrels, which are the same size as the wooden barrels used to hold wine. He made a lot of them when he opened the winery, and he took some to use.
After receiving the water, he asked Lincheng and the fief to the east to send people to bring back the water from the spiritual spring, and told them that the water was holy water from the sky, and distributed the water to the people to irrigate the farmland.This year's grain harvest is bound to be bumper.
The officials of Lincheng and the eastern fief sent people to transport the water back.
Lincheng is close to the fief, so he didn't dare to disobey the order of the princess, and obediently distributed these levels to the farmers.
The farmers also heard the rumor that the princess is a god descending from the earth, and they were so convinced. After receiving the holy water, they went home happily to water the fields.
An old lady heard that it was holy water, and she secretly drank a bowl of it. After drinking the water, her skin stretched out. She used to be fifty years old, but now she looks like she is in her thirties.
When other people saw that she had become younger overnight, they asked her what was going on. She said that she drank the holy water of the princess.
After hearing this, everyone believed even more that this was the holy water from the sky, and the princess was a god.
Every household secretly drank some spiritual spring water, but they dared not drink more. Drinking this spiritual spring water could not cure diseases, but only improve the skin. Compared with beauty, a good harvest is more important.
Besides, the princess is a fairy. The princess told them to use the water to irrigate the field, but they drank it all by themselves instead of watering the field. As a fairy, the princess would definitely know that it would be bad if the princess got angry and punished them.
I just drank a little bit from door to door, and used all the rest to water.
The old people in the village had rich experience before, and they also said that this year's situation will not be good, and they are afraid that the harvest will not be good. Now that the spirit spring water has been poured, they are all relieved.
On the other side, the officials of the eastern fiefdom sent people to carry away the Lingquan water. The officials there were not convinced by Huo Lingzhi and Luo Zining, and because they were far away, Huo Lingzhi just sent troops to station there.On the other side, the management still relies on the officials over there, and they made small moves.
The officials over there didn't believe it was spiritual spring water at all, thinking that it was ordinary water, and they said it so mysteriously to deceive those foolish people, so they didn't believe it.
The officials just let the people under their hands get rid of it, so they don't have to spend time to distribute it to the villagers.
The fiefdom in the east is relatively large, and there are more than a dozen villages in total, and some of these villages are relatively remote, and the roads are not easy to walk. Those government servants really don't want to sneak there.
But these yamen servants felt that it was a pity that the water was poured out. Their adults didn't believe it, but they still believed it. One person gave the water to a relative of a village chief in the countryside.
The relative of the village head had heard the ins and outs, and although he had not seen the divine power of the princess with his own eyes, he called the villagers together and distributed the water based on the principle that he would rather believe it than believe it.
Some of these villagers were married from other villages, and they thought they had to share this kind of good deed with their natal families, so they begged the village head for some water.
The village chief thought for a while, if it really happened in a disaster year, only his village would have a bumper harvest, and the nearby villages would suffer from disasters, and those victims would definitely come to their village to grab things when they were hungry.They also distributed water to several surrounding villages.
In the end, six villages in the eastern fiefdom were all given the spirit spring water, and the remaining seven villages were far away from each other, so they didn't get any water.
It was already mid-summer when he sent the water, and soon it was autumn. The people in the fief had planted seeds that had been soaked in holy water, and the grain output was two or three times the usual.The pain was unbearable, but there were smiles on their faces, and they were extremely happy.
The same is true for the people in Lincheng. The food production has doubled. In the past two years, due to natural disasters, the food production has been reduced.As well as letting women have their feet bound, many women in Lincheng are no longer children and are still forced to bind their feet, which reduces a lot of labor, and the people of Lincheng almost didn't survive.
This year Huo Lingzhi occupied Lincheng, and let the women with bound feet let go of the foot wraps. The labor force has returned to the previous level, and now there is a bumper harvest. The people are very grateful to Huo Lingzhi and Luo Zining, and thank Huo Lingzhi for the occupationThanks to Luo Zining for the holy water.
After the autumn harvest, these villagers spontaneously organized a team to give gifts to Luo Zining in the fief. Although they were farmers and had little money, they did their best to send some food and chickens, ducks and geese.
Luo Zining saw the people from Lincheng rushing over from a long distance beating gongs and drums, and was very moved. He arranged a place for them, entertained them with delicious food and drinks for a few days, and took advantage of this time to hold another event.The Lantern Festival, let everyone be lively together.
When these people left, Luo Zining only collected a few catties of grain to express their gratitude, and asked them to take the rest back, and also said that next year they would send holy water to them.
The fief and Lincheng had a bumper harvest, but the eastern fief was in chaos.
The village that secretly used the holy water had a good harvest, but the remaining seven villages suffered disasters. The temperature suddenly dropped, and there was a hailstorm. Each hailstone was about the size of an egg. The crops were either smashed to death or frozen.died in the field.
Those villages that were affected by the disaster still thought it was incredible to hear that some villages had a good harvest. Obviously, the temperature had dropped and there was hail, so why did the grain on their end not die.
The disaster-stricken area went to the six villages and asked around, and found out that they used the holy water of the princess, and the crops that used the holy water were still alive even if they encountered low temperatures and were hit by hail, and their yields increased.
The disaster victims saw the good harvests in those villages, apart from jealousy, their eyes were full of anger. Now, no one in the whole country knows that the princess is a fairy.Parents and officials want to pour out these holy water regardless of their life and death, really inhuman!
These victims looked at the food in Fengharvest Village, and thought that they would have had so much food in the first place, but now those officials made them unable to eat. If it was not for the harvesting village to help them, they would have starved to death.!
These victims were overwhelmed with anger, and gathered together in anger, wanting to rush into the government office and kill those dog officials who do not take their lives for their lives.
The disaster victims gathered nearly 10,000 people, and the action of so many people will definitely attract the attention of the government. Even the army sent by Huo Lingzhi to station here has heard the news.
At the beginning Huo Lingzhi sent this army to station here to prevent the emperor from sending people over to take back the fief. In the past few months, the emperor did indeed send troops over and fought several times.
The general stationed here also didn't have time to learn about the holy water sent by the princess. He thought that as long as it was something the prince and concubine told him, the officials here would definitely handle it properly.This happened again.
The general was so angry that he wanted to chop off the heads of the officials on the other end. Who knew that the officials on the other end could not control the victims, so they ran over and begged the general for help, saying that he would help deal with the mob.
This general never procrastinated in his work, and directly captured the officials and threw them into the pile of victims. He also opened the spare granary in the city and distributed the grain in the granary to the victims.
Immediately after the officials were thrown into the pile of victims, they were beaten to the point of bleeding. Some of them were hit with stones or with hoes, and they were beaten to death with one blow.
Seeing that the general was afraid of a stampede, he asked them to fight for a while and then evacuated the crowd, telling them to calm down and wait a while to line up to get the food.
When the victims heard that there was food to be collected, they all turned their heads and went to the place the general said to wait for the food to be collected.
After the crowd dispersed, the group of officials who were thrown in just now had been smashed to pieces, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
The general asked to see if he was still alive, and his subordinates went to check: "They are all dead. Just now so many people went up together, even if they didn't beat them to death, they had to be trampled to death. How dare this group of people not kill you?"The words of the prince and concubine are taken seriously, and the lives of the people are not taken seriously, damn it!"
The soldiers under him felt that the officials who died deserved what they deserved. Many people here were farmers in the past, and they were often bullied by the officials. Now seeing these dog officials killed, they felt so happy.
The general asked someone to send a letter to the prince, and told the prince and concubine the situation here, and waited for the prince and concubine to make a decision.
It would take several days to rush to the fiefdom from here. After Huo Lingzhi received the letter, he read it with Luo Zining, which made Luo Zining very angry.
"It's time to send someone over to replace the officials on their side. If we had sent someone over earlier, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened!" Luo Zining regretted that he should have started cultivating talents a few years earlier, and it wouldn't be the case now.not enough.
Huo Lingzhi saw his self-blame, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's not your fault alone. I failed to share the burden for you a few years ago, and let everything rest on you. You have to do it."There are too many things to do, and I can’t be busy at all.”
Luo Zining anxiously defended him: "Who said you didn't share the burden? If it weren't for you, the magistrate would not have listened to us, and Lin Heihu was also killed by you. The people in the fief obeyed my orders because they were afraid of you., and those villages, if it wasn’t for you, they would still be oppressed by the landlords now, you have done so many things, and these credits shouldn’t be erased.”
Huo Lingzhi was afraid that his little princess would get angry in a hurry, so he explained: "You remember everything this king has done clearly. Why don't you remember clearly after doing so much yourself?I blame myself for not doing a good job. You have done well enough, and the disaster has been quickly brought under control. The officials on the other side were also eliminated by the victims. We have saved a lot of money.Less trouble, what are you going to do this time?"
"I plan to send a group of people to replace those officials. These candidates will be selected from the officials in the fief.They are willing, and I don't know if they can bear the pressure." Luo Zining said worriedly.
"The transfer of officials is a very common thing. Don't spoil them like your own children. You should let them go out for a while. This can be regarded as a kind of training. We also need reliable people when we go to Beijing in the future. We will also take them with us when the time comes."A group of people came to Beijing, if they can't even handle the difficulties in front of them, how can they bring them to Beijing with confidence in the future?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.
Luo Zining looked at him with bright eyes: "You're right, you still think about the long-term, I'll pick people right now, and let them clean up the mess as soon as possible."
