stand back, let me come

Chapter 1497 1496: Plant Protection Drone (Part ) [Seeking monthly pass]

No need to ask, no.

Shen Tang said.

If other people would argue with Shen Tang, she would not be the one to make decisions arbitrarily, but Yun Ce was not that kind of person. He always stopped at the right point and did not like to force anything. He only asked: [Why? ]

Shen Tang was also willing to give an explanation.

[The timing is wrong, the place is wrong.] At the same time, he affirmed the wonderful ideas provided by Yun Ce, [Yuan Mou's proposal is indeed very good. If the general supervisor can turn the idea into reality, I wonder how many farmers can benefit, especially in mountainous areas. There are many terraces, and farmers suffer from the ups and downs of the terrain when farming, and the work is difficult. The flying objects you mentioned can save manpower and may also be used for product transportation.]

Given the choice, the population will naturally move to places with flat terrain and more arable land. In contrast, it is difficult to open up wasteland in mountainous areas, the cost of maintaining farmland is higher, and the efficiency of spring ploughing and autumn harvest is lower. The flying objects proposed by Yun Ce can indeed work wonders.

As Shen Tang described, the ministers were visibly moved.

It’s not useful now, but it will be useful in many places in the future.

Immediately, someone started to flatter him: [General Yun is a man of extraordinary talent and wisdom. He really makes us feel ashamed.]

[He is a man of both civil and military talents, a general and a prime minister. What is precious is that he always keeps the people in mind. I really admire him! ]

As for whether the birth of this flying creature will cause some farmers to lose their land for their livelihood, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. The Lord is very strict in this regard. One of the red lines is that under normal circumstances, the sale and grant of land is not allowed. Even if there are exceptions, the transaction records must be filed in the prefectures and counties, and the files must be sent to the Ministry of Revenue for random inspection and investigation. If there is any discrepancy with the facts, the source will be traced back and punished.

Law is nothing but human feelings, and reason is nothing but human heart. If the family situation is really bad and they have reached the point of being penniless and have to sell everything they have, and have to use the granted land, the government can also help with mortgage business. Based on the local average per mu yield, they can overdraw several percent of the income in the next few years in advance to cope with the difficulties. If they really can't turn things around, the government will redistribute these mortgaged granted lands.

Every effort was made to prevent the land granted to common people from being snatched away by local gentry and wealthy families. Of course, few people dared to commit crimes against the law.

To put it simply -

The sword hanging over the heads of civil and military officials has always been there. Shen Youli is not dead yet, so it is not the turn of evil spirits and monsters to make trouble for her.

At present, it seems that Yunce’s proposal has far more advantages than disadvantages.

Yun Ce blushed at the flattery.

【I feel ashamed to accept your praise. 】

He was not used to the sudden flattery of his colleagues.

People didn't think there was anything wrong with their enthusiasm.

Civil officials are listed on their political achievements, while military generals are listed on their military exploits.

If you don't want to roll, don't occupy the toilet without doing anything.

Think about the products of the General Administration of Works over the years, such as the Mohist cotton stripper, seed drill, tiller, etc. Which one was not sold out as soon as it was launched? The supply was in short supply, and the states and counties begged for more machines but failed. It was only when the productivity of the General Administration of Works increased that the shortage of machines was alleviated, and the first batch of machines made a profit without any effort. It is conceivable that the day when the flying object was launched, there would be another battle of heads-pulling among officials. Whoever controls the weapon first will have the upper hand in the battle of heads-pulling.

Everyone is smart and good at drawing inferences from one instance.

In addition to farming, flying objects can also be used for other purposes in the future, such as transporting wood from the mountains (Huangchangtichou is so expensive, in addition to the value of the wood itself, the transportation manpower is too high), transporting agricultural products from the mountains (helping farmers open up sales channels for agricultural products)...

These tricks are the guarantee of political achievements!

Yunce’s proposal is indeed a leap forward.

Shen Tang simply approved the special case and quickly assigned the task of making flying objects to the general supervisor. There was no deadline for this project, and the budget was generous, so the sooner it was completed, the better. Bei Ju was stunned when he received the news - if there was an overspending on the budget, you could report it and apply for more. If the project was not completed, the remaining part could not be kept or misappropriated privately, but must be turned over to the national treasury.

This is the process.

However, in order to encourage the supervisors to do practical work, the more surplus the project has, the more gifts they will receive in the current year. Moreover, this portion of money is the legal and formal income of the supervisors, and they can even enjoy a share of the subsequent income of the project. The proportion is not high, but it is a long-term benefit.

What’s the difference between this and a hen that lays golden eggs?
As time goes by, it is inevitable to arouse some jealousy.

The Commandery was not obviously targeted, but Bei Jiu had heard rumors privately. Although these rumors did not cause any substantial harm, they were a signal that made Bei Jiu a little wary. What she wanted was not for the Mohist School to flourish for a while, but for it to stand firm like an evergreen tree.

Let the Mohist spirit and knowledge be passed down from generation to generation.

Bei Ju originally planned to find an excuse to talk to the Lord after Kangguo was almost unified, to divide part of the current powers of the General Supervisor, to establish a new department, to form a healthy competitive relationship between the two or three parties, and then absorb some people from different backgrounds.

Draw a clear line between civilian and official use.

She did not mention this plan to anyone, not even Yun Ce. Only one or two Mohist elders knew her true intentions. Retreating at the height of one's career was a disguised form of competition. Bei Ju had made an indelible contribution to the current status of the Mohist family, and he strongly supported her decision. The other Mohists were unaware of the inside story, and were only happy to hear the good news, and at most half-truthfully complained that they were tired.

He even patted Yun Ce's shoulder in praise, making Yun Ce's ears red: [Yuan Mou is indeed worthy of being the son-in-law of the Mo family. Look at his extraordinary understanding. He always thinks of us when there is any benefit. It's time for you to get rid of being single. ]

Yun Ce was surrounded and teased, unable to avoid it, and her pretty face flushed.

After finally getting free, I was surprised to find my forehead was covered with sweat.

The guys are a bit too enthusiastic.

[Why does Zhoukou look so worried? But is it difficult to fly something like this? Even with the current capabilities of the Mohists, they have no idea? ]

「That’s not the case, it’s just──」

Yun Ce was worried: [Is it because he is too busy? ]

[I am worried that people will hate me when I get back.]

Three question marks popped up on Yun Ce's forehead: [Being hated? ]

A group of high-scoring candidates who are ready to hang themselves at the gate of the Military Construction Prison just to get a few more [tools to ensure political achievements], who do they hate?

Do you hate Zhoukou?

These words felt strange to him.

Seeing his blank and confused eyes, Beichu chuckled and raised her hand to hook her fingers. Yun Ce floated over like a floating balloon. When the two were only an arm's length away, Beichu grabbed the ends of Yun Ce's hair that fell on his shoulders and gently pulled him closer.

[Yuanmou, do you know how much I am worth now? ]

Yun Ce really didn’t know: [I don’t know.]

As an unmarried person without parents and nine clans, he has his own sense of freedom. The material conditions can meet the basic survival and the level of wealth above the passing line of the Kangguo officials. Moreover, military generals can make money quickly by fighting in wars. He also takes on ice making business during the dog days of summer.

He hadn't even calculated how much savings he had, so why would he care about Zhoukou's money? He just wanted to know that Zhoukou had money to spend. Yun Ce thought for a moment: [Is Zhoukou short of money?]

Anything that can be solved with money or force is not a big deal.

Yun Ce was a little embarrassed: [After the war is over, I will go back and ask the steward to send you the account books and the key to the warehouse? ]

In his opinion, accounting is not a worry-free task.

After receiving the money bag, she had to pay more attention to taking care of the food and daily necessities of the family. Beiju was very busy on weekdays, how could she focus her precious energy on vulgar things? This was also one of the reasons why Yun Ce and her never asked about each other's wealth, and managing the household expenses was not an easy job.

It’s such a good job, everyone would rush to get it.

Only when there is profit will people flock to it.

What good job can you have if you don't get robbed? Bei Ju slightly increased the strength of his hand: [When did I become short of money? You blockhead, if we talk about wealth, I'm afraid I have three times more than you. ] This is the case when Yun Ce has always been frugal in food, clothing and daily expenses. If he is asked to spend lavishly, that would be several times more.

This truth is quite shocking.

You have to know that Yun Ce is a high-ranking general. Now is a chaotic world with frequent wars. If a general like him can't get a decent fortune, how can others survive? It is surprising that Bei Ju can easily say that he is more than three times Yun Ce.

Yun Ce thought about it carefully and felt that it was reasonable.

The Ministry of Works has been very popular in recent years. It is not a government office that depends on the current situation for its livelihood. The Mohist school headed by Zhoukou has produced many good things that benefit the country and the people, and they are also successfully promoted among the people. It is normal to accumulate a lot of wealth.

Furthermore, the Mohists advocated frugality, and Zhoukou disliked luxury, so it would be strange if he couldn't save enough money: [So?]

Beichu twisted her fingers around the end of his hair: [It makes people's eyes turn red. ]

Yun Ce laughed: [It's just a little more and it makes people jealous? ]

Beichu's lips froze: [You——]

Yun Ce wrapped his palm around her raised finger and coaxed her: [Don't be upset, Zhoukou. I don't mean to laugh at you. I just think Zhoukou doesn't need to be so cautious. If anyone is really jealous, it should be the generals with military merits and high positions who are jealous first. It's far from the time when the cunning rabbit dies and the running dogs are cooked. What is Zhoukou afraid of? Even if the sky falls, it will hit me, a tall man, first.]

Beichu: [Really?]

[Of course it's true.] Yun Ce didn't expect Bei Ju to worry about this, but he thought it was normal. The Mo family has only been prosperous for the past ten years. They were poor before that, and they probably couldn't imagine how "rich" they really are. [As long as the money comes from a good source, no matter how jealous the outsiders are, they won't lose a piece of meat. There is no tax evasion, no corruption, no law-breaking, so what is there to be afraid of?]

If your wealth comes from a clean source, you can speak with confidence.

Those who have a guilty conscience are those who are unclean.

Yun Ce paused for a moment and told Bei Jiu what real wealth is: [Not talking about me, just talking about the teacher in the past... He had tens of thousands of war horses under his name. Do you know how big a horse farm is needed to feed so many war horses? Three thousand elite cavalry can be raised at will. ]

In other words, Yunda is not interested in other mundane things.

Those wealthy families had more than 10,000 acres of land cultivated privately, and more than 10,000 tenants taken away from them. How far has Beijiu come?
The expansion of wealth by the noble families is inevitable with dirty means. How many people dare to be angry but not speak out in private? Unlike the chief inspector, Beichu's current wealth is clean, her political reputation is good, and she is highly praised by the people. She is not taking money from the people. Who wouldn't be jealous of her?

Beichu: [……]

Yun Ce looked at her nervously.

I always feel like I said something wrong.

He added: [However, Zhoukou's worries are not without reason. Just preparing for the rainy day is better than countless others. There are many greedy people in this world who are blinded by prosperity and lose their original intentions. With Zhoukou's planning for the Mohist School, the Mohist School will surely last for a long time.]

Beijiu’s worries are justified.

It's just that it hasn't reached that stage yet.

Beichu still didn't say anything, but just rolled up the end of his hair with more force, further shortening the distance between them: [Your lips are so pretty. ]

Yun Ce: [Huh?]

【Used to express a waste of natural resources. 】

Yun Ce: [Oh.]

Overall, the Director of the Works received another income.

This makes the already poor family even worse.

With Yun Ce's words, Bei Ju temporarily gave up the idea of ​​retreating at the height of his career, but he did not give up the idea of ​​having the General Works Supervisor split up in the future. Yun Ce was puzzled, she hooked her fingers and adjusted the other person's collar: [There must be a teacher among three people, how can it be done by only one person? ]

After a long time, I thought I was the "master".

Beichu can increasingly feel that the atmosphere in the past two years is not right: [A donkey needs a whip before it moves, and some people have the same problem. ]

A healthy competitive atmosphere is the greatest driving force for maintaining vitality.

It is not enough for people to just have ideals, they need opponents. If there are no opponents, they can create them. She said: [Fighting with others is endless fun.]

Yun Ce nodded: […That makes sense.]

He agreed with this wholeheartedly.

The reason why the civil and military officials of Kangguo were so competitive was because they had too many rivals. They were all competing for their political achievements and military merits. If there was no such competitive atmosphere, would they still be able to compete? People cannot rest. Once they rest, they will only think about how to enjoy themselves. They will be corrupted!
Gu Chi assured that he didn't eavesdrop on these things on purpose.

He knew it, which was equivalent to Shen Tang knowing it too.

Shen Tang: "Young people should be energetic."

Beijiu Yunce was able to comprehend the essence of inner learning, which made her feel very relieved.

Gu Chi wanted to roll his eyes at her.

I don't know what kind of strange feng shui Kangguo has, it's good at producing scroll kings. Sometimes Gu Chi wanted to kneel down and beg them not to scroll, but later he found that he could scroll even when he was kneeling. Among the scroll kings, the female civil and military ones are the worst. Shao Xuan had said something similar before.

"What did Shaoxuan say?"

"If sea beasts don't swim fast enough, they will be entangled by barnacles. The same is true for humans. If officials stop, they will be corrupted by power and forget their original intentions. So it is right to find more things for colleagues to do." If you don't want to show your achievements when you enter the government, what else can you show? Spring rolls?

Qin Li was almost laughing at the anger between the king and his minister.

Everyone is excited and talking about political achievements, but he is the only one who does the work?
"That's not the case. Isn't Fang Laoliu preparing the antidote? Lingde and her subordinates burned the insect eggs with fire until the Dan Mansion was completely empty."

How can it be said that Qin Li is the only one working to catch Yuntuan?
Among those who are working, he is the most relaxed one now.

The central continent is different from the northwestern continent.

There was little rainfall in the northwest, and every now and then, the prefectures and counties would quarrel over a cloud. Some even believed that the cloud that passed through their territory was theirs, and whoever tried to steal it was a robber. It was not uncommon for farces to be reported to the king's court and scolded. The Imperial Historian Bureau stared at the clouds within the country until his eyes were almost blurred, fearing that the clouds would accidentally pass over the place where it was raining.

It’s different here in the Central Continent.

It is very easy to catch clouds because there is no shortage of them.

How dare Qin Li complain about being tired?

Gu Chi's shameless remarks almost made Qin Li choke: "What a shameless person you are! Qin is ashamed to be associated with you!"

And Gu Chi’s response——

He took out a handkerchief, covered his lips, and leaned towards Shen Tang.

"Oh, my Lord, look at him~"

Shen Tang: "..."

_ (: 3 "∠) _
I remember that I liked the Honghuang genre very much in my early years. After a few years, I read it again and found that my passion was rekindled. Unfortunately, there are not many Honghuang novels for female readers in recent years, and I can’t read the ones for male readers (my children still like to read romance novels, and they are not very interested in conspiracy and struggle novels).
PS: Isn’t there that kind of joke, for example, an online writer writes about the love history of a prehistoric and mythical figure, but ends up putting the real character before the real person in the serialized content?
