I, the younger brother of King Zhou, lead the Taoist ancestors to do business

Under the night, the black corpses piled up like a mountain, and the tree trunks blocked the moonlight and cast shadows on the corpses.

The mass graves were full of resentment, and there was a thick blue-black fog all around.If there are pedestrians passing by here, they may not be able to see the dead trees within one foot.

Hundreds of grieving ghosts let out eerie howls and tried to pull them out of their corpses, but their lower bodies seemed to be imprisoned, and they couldn't be pulled out no matter what.

The location of the lazy ghost's corpse happened to be where the resentment was the strongest, and its body became more and more solid under the nourishment of resentment.

When the ghosts found out, they let out a laugh that made people's hearts creepy, and then frantically rushed towards the corpse of the ghost.

Hundreds of ghosts cut off their own feet and squeezed into it all at once, and some ghosts with weak soul power were even squeezed into filaments.

The corner of the slacker's mouth formed an inhuman arc, revealing a weird smile.

On the third day, ten people died in the city. When the guards found them, only their corpses remained.There were marks on their bones where they had been scratched by long nails, and the marrow was protruding.

Heibei sat down on the ground in fright when he saw this tragic scene.

They crawled out covered in cold sweat, and ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Jiang Ziya learned of this, streamers flickered in his dark eyes.He waved someone to fetch the file, and all the servants helped to search, and finally found the information of these people.

The guards then went to the neighbors to inquire about the situation of the ten people. After all the conditions were summed up, it was obvious that they had something in common.

These ten people are lazy people, they are all people who have hands and feet but do nothing but think about the government helping them.

After Jiang Ziya came to a conclusion, he raised his head and looked in one direction, and the location thirty miles away from him was the mass grave outside the city.

At night, a cold corpse floated from outside the city to the corner of the city wall, and the three-inch long black nails scratched across the wall, making a piercing sound.

It may have played enough, the palm was flattened, the nails penetrated directly into the wall, and it also penetrated to the other side of the strong.

Its eyelids were completely lifted, exposing the round eyeballs.It twisted its neck stiffly and went around the city. Whenever it saw the same kind, it would be ecstatic, and then the smile disappeared, leaving only resentment.

It hates being lazy, so why is it the only one who died while the others were still alive?

Several children were playing hide-and-seek in the dark. One of the children hid behind the house, and the shadow shrouded him. At first, the child thought it was a tree branch, but when he looked down at the shadow on the ground, it was in the shape of a human figure. ?

Huh?Has he been found?

The child feels wrong, because the shadow is the shape of an adult.

The child was full of desire to explore, and he looked down again, only to find that the shadow had no feet.

Um?Obviously he has feet, both his father and mother have feet, but why doesn't the person behind him have feet?

The child looked behind him, he only saw the gray complexion, and then covered his eyes with callused hands.

"Don't look." The calm elder brother spoke in his ear.

The child lost consciousness before he could think, and fell into a coma.

Ji Fa hugged the child and stepped on the ground to use his strength to jump up. The lazy ghost stretched out his claws and swiped in the air. Five wounds were left on Ji Fa's back. To stab.

There are layers of faint golden light on his body, but it is weaker than Di Xin.

But even so, after the slacker finished grabbing him, most of the nails on one of his paws were corroded.

The slacker raised his head in horror. In his field of vision, the golden light on Ji Fa's sword was almost overflowing. If the sword stabbed him, he would be scared out of his wits!

Ji Fa did have the intention of killing him, he stabbed forward with his sword, but what Bai Richeng said to him rang in his mind.

[This ghost kills people who get something for nothing, and I'm afraid it has something to do with this ghost's life.This ghost was supposed to be a slob when he was alive, and after death he hates those who are as lazy as him...]

Ji Fa pursed her lips, and swung her sword downward——

The slacker let out a howl of pain, his two pale arms fell down, haunted by a ghostly aura.

Ji Fa said flatly: "Can the prime minister make it so that it doesn't harm hardworking people, but only lazy people? Lazy people don't have to take their lives. Lazy people don't do anything for a day, just draw a line on their bones."

Under the moonlight, Jiang Ziya walked over in a white robe, his voice was clear, "Yes."

The next day, a notice was posted in the city explaining the reasons for the death of the ten people.

"Slackers? Only harm lazy people?"

"What is laziness? If I plow an acre of land a day and rest at home for an hour, is that considered lazy?"

"Hiss... I don't know."

"You don't know how to read the notice? I know a person in it. He usually only relies on Xiqi's relief, and sometimes he is so lazy that he doesn't even want to get out of bed. He only eats raw food."

"Hey, it's really strange that someone is so lazy?"

One person lowered his voice, "Isn't it? In fact, since Xiqi has inexhaustible food, there are more and more people like this. A few days ago, the one next door to me advised me not to do anything, anyway, it won't be cold. , and there’s still plenty of food to eat.”

"Tsk tsk...then I'm much more diligent than him. The slacker won't come after me, right?"

"It's terrible to say, I'm really afraid that one night it will come to me, and I will never wake up again."

"This slacker made people panic, why didn't the immortals of Xiqi take it away?!"

At this moment, another guard came to post a new notice.

Everyone gathered around one after another, and one of them was terrified when he saw it.

"How could this be?! This ghost has a strong cultivation base, and the immortals can't accept him!"

"Ah? How did this happen?"

The crowd was in an uproar, just as a guard was carrying the body of a man killed by a lazy ghost and passed by the notice. Someone saw the tragic state of the deceased and almost fainted from fright.

"The slacker won't come to me tonight, will he?"

"You're not lazy, what are you afraid of?"

"I have to hurry to find my uncle and let him do something more or less today, otherwise he will die if he is found by the slacker!"

"You're right, even if it's just a show."

The people dispersed in an instant and ran home in a hurry.

Some people carried hoes on their backs, some picked up rags to wipe the table, and even the lazy man who had been lying on the bed got up and pretended to sweep the floor.

Hou House.

Ji Chang sincerely bowed to Jiang Ziya, "Is there really no way to get rid of the slackers?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

"No."

Ji Chang frowned slightly, he was proficient in divination and also knew about ghosts.As a prime minister, he should never...

His fingers suddenly paused, closed his eyes and sighed: "If there is no solution, there will be no solution."

Since that day, the number of idlers in Xiqi has plummeted.People went to the field when they had nothing to do, and seeing more and more seedlings in their fields, their mood improved a lot.

Lazy people will at least get out of bed every day, and they find that their bodies have gained strength after walking around on weekdays.

Xiqi's appearance has improved a lot, and people are indeed much more diligent than before.But on the land of Xiqi, there is always a cloud of haze hanging over them.Tension and urgency keep them tense all the time.

When they have nothing to eat, they look forward to being full every day, but they no longer have to worry about starving to death, and they start to become at a loss.

Yin Shang.

The candle was flickering, and most of the lamp oil was burned.

Zisheng rested his left hand on the table, while holding a pen with his right hand, he scribbled and corrected the rolled up paper.

If Zisheng wants to build a beautiful Yinshang, he has to refine it in every aspect.

First of all, the granary must be sufficient, without food everything is empty talk.Not to mention that there will be wars in the future, so at each harvest, the grain output of the entire Shang Dynasty minus the grain needed by the people for a year will have a large surplus.

As for why it is clear that Yin Shang can harvest two or three times a year, but they have to let the people have a year's grain at a time?

Because the common people need to garrison in addition to food, and garrisoning food will bring people a sense of security and confidence. The most important thing is that if there is a disaster someday, the merchants will not be able to supply it, and the people will not starve to death if they have surplus food. a large piece.

At the same time, food is not only needed for food, but also for daily medical treatment and bartering...

Zisheng stretched after listing these items.

He leaned on the chair and looked at the roof, the candlelight reflected in his pupils like stars, it was really beautiful.

He thought about it, so how to increase food production?

In fact, Zisheng has already done more than half of this matter.

Now sweet potato and potato seeds are available and popularized.The seeds of high-yielding crops have also been screened out, and this aspect of seeds is no longer a problem.

Nowadays, apart from Chaoge, the area of ​​cultivated land in the Yin and Shang Dynasties is far from enough.There was nothing wrong with the policies he implemented back then. The problem was that he had too few people on hand, and he couldn't grasp the Yin and Shang places in his hands.

Only relying on the loyalty of the courtiers to the royal family, about one-third of the people in various places can use it.

Zisheng wrote this down on paper again, the academy really needs to train officials sooner.Now there are only a hundred people who can be assigned to be local officials... This is far from enough.

Zisheng is bald.

Chi Miaomiao got out of his head, helped him to pull off the hair that was about to fall out, and glued it back on.

The third point is that Zisheng has to ask the people in the academy to find a way to mass-produce some chemical fertilizers, so that food production will also increase.

In the end, Zisheng raised his chin, and his white fingertips tapped on the table.

With so many people in Yin Shang, it would be a pity if all of them were used for farming. It would be good if a quarter of them were farming.

So he had to find a way to liberate the labor force.

Get more labor tools to save effort!

Using tricycles to transport grain can save labor, but this aspect is controlled by the local government.

The most important thing is to build roads!To get rich, build roads first. Road building can reduce a lot of labor loss, and it is also an indispensable factor for the prosperity of wealthy merchants.

Level the road first, and when conditions permit in the future, you can also dream about cement roads!

But... the road construction seems a bit unattractive?

Zisheng had no choice but to get down on the ground, pressing his head against the cold table.

folk.

Relief with work was like a dream back then, countless people worked hard for three catties of food a day.And the three catties of grain were indeed like rain after a long drought, and I don't know how many lives were saved.

Three years have passed, and the once sallow and emaciated farmer now has a ruddy complexion and a strong body.

Although they recalled the taste of that bowl of porridge from time to time, but now they are not willing to trade their work for food again.

They can collect thousands of catties of grain every year, so there is no need to suffer that anymore.

Of course, they will not step back, they are still grateful for what the regent did back then.

Now they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. They only need to take care of their fields all day long, and they don't need to take care of other things.

Their current situation is also what worries Zisheng the most. He needs manpower to continue the construction, but people have "lost worldly desires", and Zisheng is not a person who likes to force others.

Zisheng pondered for two hours, and thoughts gradually emerged in his mind, his eyes bent into crescents.

One month later, "Yin Shang Medical Center" was opened in one-third of Yin Shang's cities.

Physicians come to the clinic once a month and stay for ten days at a time.When the doctor is away, the clinic mainly sells some common medicines, such as abrasions, headaches, etc...

The price of the medical center is relatively cheap, and the most important thing is that it has rich merchants to rely on, so people generally feel at ease.

It's just that the medical center does not accept food, it only accepts "money".

And this money must be passed on from Chaoge, and the rest will not be counted.

As for how to get money?

One is that food can be exchanged.

The third is that the government government recruits people who repair roads today, and they are paid two dollars a day.

As soon as this news came out, some people who were idle at home couldn't help it.

Who doesn't get sick?Who doesn't have old parents?Anyway, idleness is idleness, it is better to go to work, which is also a guarantee in the future.

At the same time, not only roads were built, but small restaurants were also opened in some cities to sell some rare dishes.

You can eat it!Need "money"!

Don't look at it as just a dish, passers-by can't stop drooling when they smell the smell.

Isn't it just money?

OK!I go to work for a day just to taste what your dish tastes like!

Of course, once you taste it, there will be a third time...
