Text Chapter 28 I really donĄŻt know what to look at and IĄŻm shocked when I look at it

    Yang Xiuqing is not as comfortable as Lin Haifeng.

    He had to mobilize the defenders to fight against the Jiangnan camp besieging Tianjing, and also handle various government affairs.  Especially regarding the issue of the integration of China's military and civilians, which had just begun to be officially resolved, he felt tremendous pressure and it was a headache.

    ItĄŻs easy to say, but difficult to do.  There were between seven and eight hundred thousand people, old and young, who came all the way from Guangxi, but they usually didn't feel anything. After careful calculation, we found out that, not to mention the big and small officials, just a few kings and relatives accounted for half of them.  This is especially true for the King of Heaven. The number of people who followed or sought him out has reached nearly 200,000.  No wonder the expenditure of the Holy Treasury is so huge.

    After checking the current household registration situation in Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing's head became even bigger.  I really donĄŻt know it until I see it, and IĄŻm shocked when I see it.  I remember when I first entered the city, there were originally about 800,000 registered households in Tianjing. How come there are only less than 200,000 households left now?

    ?Actually, this is not surprising at all.  There is no grain or rice produced in Tianjing, there are few or almost no merchants, there are constant wars outside the city, and there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor in the city.  Although the common people can still obtain some necessities of life, the quantity is limited, and it can be said to be insignificant compared with the luxurious life of the dignitaries.  Politically speaking, we have to say that the common people have still benefited. They are more independent than before, and there are no longer those unreasonable exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.  But the people need more than these. They want to survive and gradually improve their living conditions. Once they lose their expectations for the future, the only thing they can choose is to find a new way.

    "Change is very difficult. If we don't change, it's absolutely impossible."  Yang Xiuqing felt that she was in a dilemma now, and she even cursed Lin Haifeng secretly in her heart. Wasn't this asking her to jump into a well?

    "Your Highness, there are many people outside requesting to see you." Fu Shanxiang walked into the Silver Dragon Palace and looked at King Dong who was sitting on a high chair with his chin in one hand and furrowed brows and reported softly.

    Yang Xiuqing glanced at her, sighed, rubbed her temples vigorously with both hands, "Tell them to come in."

    As Fu Shanxiang went out and came in, about thirty women came to the Silver Dragon Hall looking left and right.  These were women in their forties and fifties. When they saw the majestic King Dong, they began to kneel on the ground and sobbed loudly before they could say anything.  The originally quiet main hall suddenly became a mess, as if a pot had been boiled.

    Yang Xiuqing knew at a glance that these women were family members of some officials, and some of them looked familiar to him. Needless to say, they must not be willing to support themselves.  He waved his hand to Fu Shanxiang, "Quick, tell everyone to get up and talk about what you have to say. Why are you crying?"

    "Nine thousand years old, you have to give it to my master," a woman in her forties said with tears and snot in her nose. "Our child's father went to the West to fight, and the child was also killing monsters in Zhenjiang, so he stayed here.  I'm fine in the women's house, why are you suddenly asking me to dig out food by myself?"

    "That's right, my poor son died in the battle in Changsha last year. It's just me and his father, and we still don't fight against each other all day long. Didn't the King of Heaven say that everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear?  Why has it changed again?Ą±

    The women all shouted about "Chongtianqu".

    Yang Xiuqing smiled and listened quietly.  He is such a person. He has always been known for being ruthless towards officials, but he is also much tolerant towards soldiers and civilians.  At the beginning, he would patiently listen to the advice of an old boatman on the Yangtze River, give up his original strategic intention of making Kaifeng the capital, and instead conquer Jinling and build his capital there.  He would also issue special edicts for the comfort of soldiers when patrolling and guarding checkpoints, reminding generals to always care about the suffering of lower-level soldiers.

    Seeing that the women had finished complaining one by one, he thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What you said is not unreasonable. However, I want to ask you a question?"

    He stood up and motioned for everyone to get up, "Everyone knows how to live at home and live in vain. You are all mothers and good at housework. Do you want your homes to be like this?"

    Seeing that no one answered his question, he smiled and said, "Of course, some of you may say that the kingdom of heaven is a kingdom of heaven, not your own small home. There is plenty of money in the holy treasury. In fact, it is not the case. I  We just settled an account, letĄŻs not mention it elsewhere, letĄŻs just talk about our Tianjing. In Tianjing City, there are only 50,000 soldiers who actually go to battle to kill monsters, but there are one million people who eat the holy treasury together. Here is a  No rice is produced, no gold or silver is produced, it is just an isolated city, and everything is afraid of taking a long time. As time goes by, no matter how big the holy treasury is, how long can it sustain it?"

    Then, he laid out the terms of the new edict for everyone. Strong young girls who are willing can join the women's camp to join the army, and others can go to quilt factories, breeding farms, etc. Those who are willing to do small business can be funded by the Celestial Empire.  Its capital, in a word, is theThey all tried their best to make Tianjing prosperous and asked those who had left their hometowns to come back on their own initiative.  Finally, he teased everyone, no one would be willing to ask our holy soldiers to go hungry to kill monsters, right?

    The women gradually calmed down as they listened to King Dong's story. Thinking about it carefully, they realized that King Dong's words did make sense.  Some people even feel shy about what they did when they first came.

    "It's good to be nine thousand years old, but before we joined the Holy Army, we were wealthy people. We neither knew how to sew nor did any work. Now we are suddenly asking others to provide labor. I can't do it." A man who looked very rich  The woman lowered her head and fiddled with her long nails, muttering in her mouth.

    Yang Xiuqing knew her. She was the wife of Li Zhaoshou, the 72nd Inspection Officer of the Palace Right, who had recently joined the Tianjun. His eyebrows moved, and there was an indescribable disgust in his heart, but he still asked with a smile on his face: "What will you do?  What?"

    Ą°I donĄŻt know anything except coaxing my children.Ą±

    "This is also a skill. Why do you still say you don't know anything?"

    Yang Xiuqing followed the voice and saw that it was Lin Haifeng who always tempted her to jump into the pit, and walked in with a smile.

    Lin Haifeng cupped his hands towards Yang Xiuqing, then turned to look at Li Zhaoshou's wife, "Look at this eldest sister, she looks like a person who knows the rules and responds to gifts. It's not easy to coax children."

    Li Zhaoshou's wife saw that the person who came was His Highness the Living God An Wang, and even called her eldest sister. Her fat, round face immediately turned red and she quickly lowered her head, "Wang An Qiantai is so funny. The little girl Luo Cuilan, I just called you Qiantai."  Eldest sister, the little girl is really frightened."

    Lin Haifeng looked at the people in the hall and laughed, "We are all brothers and sisters. You are older than me, so of course you are the eldest sister. I just heard you say that you know how to coax children, that's just right. Think about it,  Many of our sisters in Tianjing have young children. They have to go out to work. Who will take care of the children? So, letĄŻs build some kindergartens to take care of the children during the day and teach them some calligraphy and so on.  , wonĄŻt the sisters be able to go to work down-to-earth?Ą±

    "Well, I can do this job." Li Zhaoshou's wife smiled sheepishly.

    Lin Haifeng nodded, looked at the women in the palace, and smiled, "Actually, our Celestial Dynasty and Dongwang encourage everyone to contribute their abilities to the Kingdom of Heaven. For those lonely elderly people and those who have lost the ability to work,  China will support them forever. China also provides pensions to the families of those soldiers and soldiers who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for China. Let us work together to build a beautiful heaven of our own with our own hands!"
