After Yang Guang's imperial edict was drafted, no one was willing to go north to issue it!

Just because today's Jiangdu has become a trapped dragon, the powerful Wagang Army is once again in the north, the Jianghuai area in the west is the territory of Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou, and the south is occupied by Shen Faxing and Li Zitong. With more than 100,000 soldiers, Qingzhou further north was occupied by Xu Yuanlang and Wang Bo's forces!

If you go north to issue an edict, you might lose your life on the road, which is not cost-effective.

Just when the servant Pei Ju was about to force the appointment, the provincial governor Fang Xuanling took the initiative to ask for help. Under the escort of the navy, he headed north along the coast with the reward.

When they arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, Fang Xuanling asked the fleet to continue heading north, but he landed in Bohai County and headed north in disguise with a few guards.

He had heard that Yang Tong was very smart, but timid and had low self-esteem. He was a child who lived under Yang Guang's shadow and was raised alive.

But after the wedding, his appearance changed. First, he defeated Wagang's army of more than 300,000 soldiers with a small number in Henan Province, and then moved the victims to Hebei Province with various preferential policies! Especially the establishment of free schools to provide housing. Xuanling became very interested.

After Yang Tong arrived in Hebei Province, he once again defeated Dou Jiande's main rebels with less and defeated more, thereby breaking the bad rumors of "His Royal Highness Luck". The subsequent new policies that benefited the country, the people and the army made Fang Xuanling He was sincerely amazed and surrendered! He felt that many of his thoughts were included, but they were more mature, stable and comprehensive than his own ideas. He was itchy, and then he took the initiative to ask for orders to go north to meet this inconspicuous King of Qin. Your Highness. And he left the fleet because he wanted to see whether the various new policies were just a piece of paper or whether they were actually implemented.

Fang Xuanling was a native of Zhangqiu County, Qi County. His family had almost always been officials and engaged in politics. His father, Fang Yanqian, once served as the chief secretary of Gao Xiaoheng, King of Guangning in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was his close aide. After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he planned to reunite with his relatives and friends to regain the Northern Qi Dynasty, but failed. Success. Later, he was suppressed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty together with the family of the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty. By the Sui Dynasty, the influence of the Fang family could no longer extend beyond one county. By the Sui Dynasty, Fang Yanqian served as the governor of Sili, and his family gradually improved.

Fang Xuanling was good at poetry and prose, and was well-read in classics and history. He was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and was awarded the rank of Yuqiwei and Xicheng County. After his grandfather passed away, he resigned and returned to his hometown. He also traveled around the world. , looking for teachers and friends, nearly ten years passed in a flash. Later, because of the recommendation of his friend Yu Shinan, he became the provincial governor of a subordinate.

During these years of traveling around the world, he would inevitably set foot in Hebei Road, the area hardest hit by the reform, and Bohai County, the birthplace of various gangs, was also indispensable. What he saw at that time was the tragic scene of "no bones exposed, no roosters crowing for thousands of miles." .

But when I came to Bohai County again, I was shocked.

It was different from the depression he imagined. Although the people were sallow and thin, they no longer looked anxious and uneasy. The indifferent and numb expressions on their faces were replaced by happy smiles.

Both daily farming and county government work are operating in an orderly manner.

This is not a sign of chaos.

"Perhaps the Bohai Sea is the hardest-hit area and has been focused on management, so we don't see people in dire straits!"

With this in mind, Fang Xuanling entered Pingyuan County from Rao'an County, then Xindu, Boling, Hejian, and Shanggu. However, the further north he went, the more surprised he became, because there were no sights of refugees gathering along the way.

"Hebei Province itself has countless disaster victims, and it has hosted five to six million disaster victims. How did it achieve such stability in such a short period of time?"

The more he looked at it, the more puzzled Fang Xuanling became.

Finally, he saw a large number of young and strong victims gathering on the banks of the Xushui River in Yongle County, Shanggu. They seemed to be repairing water conservancy projects.

He went up to observe carefully what was going on.

He found that these victims did not have the sad and numb expressions of being forced to work, nor did they have the characteristic sallow complexion and skinny bones of the victims. Instead, they were all full of energy and very strong.

There are several disabled men supervising on one side. Judging from their temperament, they should be disabled retired veterans. There is a greenhouse built next to it, and smoke is rising from the kitchen.

What was even stranger was what happened later. When several victims were sitting in the shed, a disabled man walked over.

There was no whipping or scolding as expected, the official just said something to them, and then he went to the construction site where they were working to take a look. When he came back, he came back with some white slips, which seemed to have a seal on them.

Then the villagers left with a lot of thanks and a few big warm steamed buns in their hands.

Fang Xuanling followed him in confusion, and after walking for about three or four miles, he came to a small village with a group of tents. They were all made of rags, worn out, but neat. Not far away was a flat foundation.

Some wood was piled on top, as if he was preparing to settle down here.

At this time, the man came in with something to eat and shouted, and several children happily threw themselves into their father's arms.

He stretched out his little hands to grab the big warm steamed buns, and burst into laughter.

Fang Xuanling was stunned. This was completely different from what he expected, that the people in Hebei Province were in dire straits.

Compared with the Henan Road and the Jianghuai area, it is simply a pure land.

Fang Xuanling was shocked and shocked, and stayed in an inn called "Heroes Building" in Yuqiu County.

"Sir, please sit down. What do you want to bring?" As soon as the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Come to three first-class guest rooms and serve up all your signature dishes." Fang Xuanling discovered that the waiters here were actually disabled people, so she skillfully handed the waiters a few small coins.

Unexpectedly, the shop assistant actually shook his head and said proudly: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but our Hero Building has its own rules and this is not allowed."

This made Fang Xuanling very surprised.

After a while, all the food and wine were delivered to Fang Xuanling's table. When the waiter was about to leave, Fang Xuanling called him out and said cleverly: "That's it. It's my first time to Shanggu. I don't know what's going on here."

Nothing is familiar. I just noticed that this place is much more prosperous than other places. I don’t know why?”

The shop clerk said proudly: "Sir, you asked the right person. The reason why Shanggu is so prosperous is because His Highness King Qin is here. His Highness is personally responsible for the livelihood of the people. How can it not be prosperous? He is our savior, a living Bodhisattva!"

"I saw that the name of your store is Hero Building, and it also has a serial number, and everyone seems to be retired soldiers with meritorious services? Why is this?"

"Young Master is right. Each of us is a soldier who was injured in the war. His Highness not only gave us pensions, but was also worried that we would lose our source of livelihood after using up the pensions. So he established a building in the best area of ​​each county in Hebei Province.

A 'Hero Building' is left to us disabled veterans to take care of it, and we have formulated the 'Ten Don'ts': we must not lose the true qualities of a soldier, we must not pass off inferior goods, we must not harm guests, we must not ask for tips, we must not sell things at a low price...

If you commit the 'Ten Impossibles', you will be kicked out of the Hero Building and other brothers will take care of it."

When talking about Yang Tong, the store clerk was very excited and looked like a die-hard fan.

Fang Xuanling asked the waiter to step aside, and he admired in his heart: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really powerful. With the 'Hero Building' to house disabled soldiers, wouldn't the soldiers who have no worries anymore swear their loyalty to the death? This 'ten can'ts' rule seems to make it difficult."

There is no additional income from the number of people, but this rigorous and upright attitude can stand out from many inns and become a breath of fresh air. After the reputation of the 'Hero Building' became famous, there was a steady flow of businessmen and travelers staying in it. With more guests, naturally there is money.

Guangjin, in the long run, will be countless times more profitable than petty bargains. It's amazing, it speaks directly to people's hearts every step of the way."

He ate the delicacies on the table leisurely, returned to the guest room where he lived, wrote down what he had seen along the way, and then handed it to a guard to send the letter to Chang'an and give it to his best friend Du Ruhui

, and at the same time said to himself: "I have seen what I should see, it is time to go see this magical His Highness King Qin!"

"Dividing people into acres, prohibiting land sales, emphasizing poor scholars, promoting Yi Xue, and pointing to the roots of aristocratic families step by step; replacing salaries and rewards with money can not only inhibit land annexation, prevent the birth of new families, but also prosper business. This is

It is a long-term national policy to truly benefit the country and the people and store wealth among the people..."
