Yueshan North Road, Chongzhou, Qianshan County, Xiashan Village.
Yan Xiwen and his party were walking in the rugged mountains and fields, and the long and rugged path seemed to have no end.
Following him were ten garrison soldiers dressed as porters. They were once members of the Marine Corps. Their leader was Zhang Qishan, the current commander of the garrison.
“Qishan,” Yan Xiwen stood on a slightly more open mountainside, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his sweat, “Let everyone take a rest here. After climbing the mountain for a long time, it’s really hard.” Tired too.”
Zhang Qishan grinned. They were still carrying a load weighing more than a hundred kilograms. If we were to say they were tired, it was far from the level of being drilled by Commander He when he was in the Marine Corps.
But he knew that his only mission with the soldiers on this trip was to protect the safety of Prime Minister Yan. The current leader, Commander Huo of the garrison, had also repeatedly greeted them, and everything was subject to Prime Minister Yan’s arrangements.
Everyone put down their burdens, took off their straw hats to fan the wind, and looked down the cliff.
A gust of mountain wind blew by, the fog between the cliffs opened up, and a small village was vaguely located under the cliff!
Yan Xiwen pointed down, “That should be Xiashan Village.”
“Wangshan is a dead horse. It doesn’t look far, but this road…”
He looked towards the mountainside again, where could he see the end of the road.
He sat down on a stone, Zhang Qishan handed over a water bag and said with a smile: “Xiang Yan, when it comes to poverty alleviation, in such a harsh environment, I am afraid there is no way to alleviate the poor. It is better to treat them all at once. It might be better to move out and find a piece of land for them to settle near Qianshan County.”
After these three months of getting along, the soldiers and Yan Xiwen have become very familiar with each other.
This Prime Minister of Yan, who is inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people, seems to have some common characteristics with the emperor – he is extremely kind to the people, and he does not have the lofty airs of a prime minister at all.
But he is extremely strict with those corrupt officials. Although he has not punished any official yet, after he investigated the problems of those officials, the way he gritted his teeth was a bit scary.
Zhang Qishan knew that all those officials were dead, and what was waiting for them must be someone sent by the Ministry of Punishment to kill them all.
So everyone respects such a prime minister from the bottom of their hearts, and feels that this is Daxia’s hope.
With such a powerful emperor and a prime minister who can clearly distinguish right from wrong, Daxia will definitely get better and better.
Yan Xiwen twisted the water bag and took a big sip, then lifted up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, sighing: “Qishan, you said that there is no other way.”
“The mountains inside and outside are all the land of Daxia. If they were all moved outside the mountains, wouldn’t the mountains be deserted?”
“So we have to take a look on the ground to see if there is any hope of saving the villages at the foot of the mountain.”
As he said this, Yan Xiwen looked around. The clouds and mist blocked the cliff again, and he could see the vast sea of clouds.
“Look, the scenery is quite beautiful.”
“If it were the same me more than ten years ago, I might still feel poetic when seeing such a scenery. Alas, it’s just this mountain road…”
He shook his head, “The project to build this mountain road into a cement road is really too big.”
Zhang Qishan also took a look and suddenly said: “Xiang Yan, when we were in the field, Commander He once did something.”
“The lower field training base is also outside Guangyang Mountain, but we have many training subjects that need to go into the mountain. The mountain… is not much lower than this mountain. In order to transport materials and luggage, Commander He launched The whole army built a road.”
“He once said that the emperor said something that the general still remembers to this day: man can conquer nature!”
“We spent more than half a year after training to carve out a road out of the roadless Guangyang Mountain. Although we didn’t use cement, if it didn’t rain, we could use mules and horses to carry the baggage. Drag it in.”
“So ordinary people can’t build this kind of road, so the troops need to come!”
Yan Xiwen’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Really?”
“Well, that road is still there, and it is also the main passage for the Marine Corps to enter and exit Guangyang Mountain.”
Daxia has an army of eight armies totaling 800,000 people!
Based on the current situation on the Eurasian continent, the emperor believes that Daxia only needs six armies to defend the border, so the emperor is thinking about another disarmament, and even asked the navy to recruit people for the army.
If you follow what Zhang Qishan said, it would be a good idea to combine the other two armies…or eliminate a group of people from the eight armies to form two engineering units.
Daxia has a huge territory, and the terrain in various places is also extremely complex.
There are many mountains and fields like this. If we want to build a road, only the state will invest, but if the people doing this work are specialized engineering troops, I am afraid it can get twice the result with half the effort.
“Your idea is very good, I will remember it, and I will suggest it to the emperor when I get back!”
“Let’s go, it’s almost noon, I guess it will be evening when we arrive at Xiashan Village.”
……
……
The setting sun fell on the mountainside opposite, and the light in Xiashan Village under the cliff had dimmed.
Village chief Li Erniu came from the ravine, feeling extremely angry.
Today he went to Huangtang Town to talk to the mayor Yang Wei about the issue of spring plowing, because during the autumn harvest last year, Yang Wei added a tax to each village, called the military service tax – Huang Because of Tangzhen’s remote location, Daxia did not recruit troops here, so they paid taxes for the troops!
This tax is not light. It has added 30% to the original tax, causing food rations for more than 700 people in the six villages under the jurisdiction of Huangtang Town to become a problem.
Of course everyone will stop doing this, because not only do they not have enough to eat, but there are no seeds for next year. How can they survive?
Is it going back to the days when hunting in the mountains was all about luck?
Li Erniu had attended a private school for two years and knew some words. He once went out and finally picked up a copy of Daxia Weekly.
He was puzzled. This unknown Daxia Weekly wrote about Daxia so well, and the various policies of the emperor were also very good!
How come the implementation in Huangtang Town is completely different?
Who is lying?
As a result, when he visited Qianshan County, this **** Daxia Weekly was telling nonsense!
The emperor is also talking nonsense!
Because the entire Qianshan County is the same!
So what is the difference between this Daxia and the original Fan State? Officials are still extremely rich, while those who serve the crops still have difficulty having a full meal.
Yang Wei once said that he would go to the county government office to ask the county magistrate for the seeds for this year’s spring plowing.
But he’s coming back!
The county government’s granary was also empty, and even the mice didn’t bother to visit.
Yang Wei said that all the grain had been shipped out and Chongzhou Prefecture had collected it and had to hand it over to the Futai Master for transfer to the national treasury because there might be another war.
What can he do?
You can’t get the seeds back even if you kill Yang Wei!
It seems that we have to mobilize the villagers to take out their hunting knives and arrow feathers to sharpen them, and go to the mountains to look for the wild boar to survive this new year.
He had just arrived at the entrance of the village when he suddenly saw a group of people walking towards him.
The man in the front looks like a Confucian scholar, but in the back… what is he doing with a dozen porters?
