After fleeing the wasteland and farming, he made a rebellion

Chapter 78 The situation in Da'an is getting more and more complicated

The rest of the scholars were handed over to Sun Fushuang to continue to contact, and those who were suitable would naturally be hired to Wanjia Academy.

Sun Fuxi saw on the list that some people had done business, some had opened workshops, and some had special skills. These were the people she focused on attracting, reusing and funding.

In this way, shops and workshops were opened around Wanjia Inn.The number of craftsmen in the Sun family contracting team has nearly doubled.

Sun Fuxi also took Sun Fuwen to visit an eminent monk, and now Sun Fuwen is in charge of most of the house's engineering.After meeting the eminent monk, Sun Fuxi promised to rebuild a temple for the eminent monk.

Throughout the dynasties, the power of faith must not be ignored.When the temple is completed, people from Fucheng will definitely come here, and the economy here will be more easily revitalized by then.

Soon, the people Ji Xingze sent out to investigate reported good news.From here, there are several mountains, where there are stretches of wasteland that can be used for reclamation.

The Sun family contracting team received a new task, responsible for opening a road from Wanjia Village there.Sun Fuxi felt that either he would not drive it, or he would drive it on such a relatively flat road that could not only pass the carriage, but also allow two carriages to run side by side.

Gunpowder is too lethal, and she never wanted to use it, and she was even more afraid of being used in the battle between Jiangshan and Jiangshan.But in order to complete the project as soon as possible, Sun Fuxi still decided to ask Ji Xingze to ask Qu Zhifu, that is, the former Qu Tongzhi, for help.

"You mean uncle cousin to help us find some people who can make fireworks?" Ji Xingze asked.

"That's right." Sun Fuxi nodded, "When the gunpowder for making fireworks accumulates to a certain amount, you can blast the stones blocking the road, so that you can get through the road to the east faster.

"Will that cause great harm to people?" Ji Xingze keenly discovered its power.

"Yes, not only that, it can cause harm to many people at the same time." This dynasty had never used gunpowder in war before, but when facing Ji Xingze, she chose to tell the truth.

It was obviously a good idea, but seeing her frowning all the time, Ji Xingze was not happy. Ji Xingze asked tentatively, "Are you afraid that gunpowder is too harmful and many people will die if it is used on the battlefield?"

"Yes." Sun Fuxi nodded.

"Then have you ever thought that we have too few people right now, if the imperial court or the rebel army, or the enemy army of the Yunlan Kingdom wants to harm us, if we don't even have the ability to resist at all, we may die by then Is it us?"

"This……"

"Don't forget, even if the number of soldiers in the Peking University Camp is smaller than other places, it is still an army of the imperial court and may be sent to other battlefields at any time." Wan's army is really not enough to watch.But as Ji Xingze said, it is hard to guarantee that someone will not attack this army.

"What if the Yunlan army came to fight without their garrison?" So Sun Fuxi always thought that the court would not be so stupid.

But she forgot that the saying "to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside" is not unique to later generations. Now that the Da'an dynasty is so turbulent, it is inevitable that some people will want to give up the enemies outside first, and even use some policies that humiliate the country and let the enemies outside help them deal with it domestic hostile forces.

But it is true that this time has not yet come. Hengshan County, where they are located, still has not become the focus of those people's competition because it is a place where birds don't shit.

Every time a mountain needs to be blown up to clear the way, Ji Xingze will also ask people to send irrelevant people away. Only a very few people know about explosives, and they have never been used on the battlefield.

As the situation in the Da'an Dynasty became more and more complicated, the court imposed higher and higher taxes on various places, and even Hengshan County was not spared.Moreover, the form of tax collection has been changed, and it is no longer paid on a per-acre basis, which sets a very high target for all regions.This made Qu Zhifu, the local prefect, extremely embarrassed, and had to send someone to ask Ji Xingze to discuss it.

However, Ji Xingze sent the people sent by Qu Zhifu back. Now that Sun Fuxi is giving birth in the delivery room, how could he care about other things.

"My lord, you don't need to worry too much. Didn't the doctor say that Madam sat very well this time, the midwives and the ladies inside are also experienced, and they will definitely give birth smoothly." Because Ji Xingze has been circling outside the delivery room , Xue Guodong had no choice but to persuade him from the sidelines.

Ji Xingze was a little ashamed, but he explained: "This is my first time being a father, and I don't know what to do right now? Mr. Xue don't need to persuade me, I'm not worried about Fuxi, I just want to pass it on. time."

"Why don't you think about taxation?" Xue Guodong asked tentatively.

"How do you think about it?" Ji Xingze turned to look at him, "Don't tell me I can't pay it all? Even if I can help pay it this time, what should I do in the future?" As long as the war is not over for a day, this tax will never end. Increase does not decrease.

"The subordinates feel that the Sir really doesn't need to take care of this matter. He just needs to tell the prefect that he can do whatever the court orders. It's just that he explained clearly to the people when he did it that it was the court, not him. I mean, he can't do anything about it."

Ji Xingze raised his eyebrows, "You mean you want the people to hate the court and the Holy One?"

The corners of Xue Guodong's mouth raised slightly, "Of course, otherwise, why would the common people follow us wholeheartedly?"

"But what if the people are pushed too fast?" Ji Xingze frowned slightly, he didn't want to watch the people sell their sons and daughters one by one because of his own selfishness, and the last rope ended his own life.

"When the time comes, find someone to spread the word among the common people that they can live by following the Lord. They will make the right choice." After a pause, Xue Guodong continued, "Even if someone dies and ends up in the court, it will be the court's fault." They are the emperor's imperial decree and have nothing to do with Lord Hou."

"I understand what you mean, but I think the people have suffered enough, and I don't want to ignore their lives like the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, you have the people in your heart, which is the blessing of the people and us. It's just that you don't care about the small things when you make big things. It's not the time for you to be kind."

"Okay," Ji Xingze nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you. In addition," he urged, "send someone to send a message to the third young master, telling him that if there is any embarrassment over there, don't take it hard and let him handle it." He is ready to resign and come back at any time." Writing letters is the most unsafe right now, so Ji Xingze sent someone to deliver a message to Sun Fushuang.

He won the exam in his early years and is still the first name.Another year later, in Chunwei, he became a second-class Jinshi, and married the third daughter of Qiu Shilang, the official minister.

In order not to get involved in the struggle between the DPRK and China, he gave up staying in Beijing and chose Mingshan County, not far from Hengshan County, as the county magistrate.

Ji Xingze thought for a while and said: "Let him send someone to send a message to his father-in-law, so that the Qiu family can be mentally prepared to either resign early or divorce their daughter."

At this time, his wings are not yet full, but he has to consider some things thoroughly.Just like Qiu Shilang's family, there is no reason for them to be implicated along with him.
