    On the other hand, such heavy rain made the project of immigrating to western Liaoning much easier.  Originally, the people were most afraid of moving away from the land, and were unwilling to easily leave the land where they had raised their children for generations.  But under such a heavy rain, there was no choice. In order to survive, they had to follow the migration of the imperial court organization and go all the way to western Liaoning.

    Only when they arrived in western Liaoning did the people know what fertile land was and what a sacred land was.  It was a fertile land where oil could be squeezed out from a handful of dirt.  Unlike the land in Middle-earth that has been cultivated for thousands of years, the soil's fertility has long been exhausted.

    But in western Liaoning, there have been very few people since the beginning of the world.  The fertilizer that has been naturally accumulated for countless years will make it grow well no matter what you plant.  Three years later, the farming in western Liaoning has produced results, and a large amount of production has begun to feed back the mainland of China.

    And after so many years of heavy rain, I have adapted.  Even the north has begun to vigorously promote rice cultivation, and some other crops that could only grow in the north.  Everything is so prosperous!

    "Don't tell me, this icy road is safe to walk on," the driver smiled, looking for something to say.  It would be a really sad day if we didn¡¯t find some topics to talk about: ¡°It just hurts the horse¡¯s hooves too much!¡±

    Uncle Song Yu laughed dumbly. This so-called ice and soil was also an invention of the national master.  It sounds simple, but it is made by mixing lime and clay.  The paved ground is neat, smooth and solid, hence the name ice soil.  Nowadays, all the large streets in the capital are paved with a thick layer of ice and soil.

    Such a big project didn¡¯t even cost much, it just used a large number of refugees to work for relief.  Let a large number of refugees dig into the mountains to collect rocks, burn lime, and lay roads.  Even the entire water conservancy facilities around the capital were renovated and built with ice and soil.

    Moreover, Fu Shuo personally took great care of the hygiene inside and outside the capital.  All bad hygiene habits have to be changed, including dumping garbage on the street and urinating and urinating in the open.  If caught, they will be knocked to the ground and whipped.  In the first month of implementation, one in 10 people in the capital had swollen buttocks.  There were complaints everywhere.

    But after this policy persisted, the people themselves realized the benefits.  You don't even need to impose strict punishments, just abide by it yourself.

    Of course, in addition to severe punishments.  Supporting facilities must also keep up.  You can't prevent people from dumping garbage at will, but there is no way to dispose of the garbage, so people can accumulate garbage at home, right?  There is a new industry emerging called tuberose.  It¡¯s the janitor who picks up trash at night.

    Throughout the capital, what Fu Shuo did in southern Xinjiang was practiced.  The effect was remarkable. In a few years, not only the capital city had changed drastically.  Even the customs in all parts of the world have been greatly changed.

    The so -called uplink and downward results, the monarch is on the top and the subjects are self -evolved.  This is not only the ideal of Confucianists, but it is actually the best way to govern a society like the East, where agriculture is based on unified agriculture.

    Because the territory is too vast, there are no effective means of communication and transportation.  That kind of direct government governance model that details everything is simply impossible to achieve.  Even if it is achieved, it will not last long.  Moreover, the administrative costs are too high and it is not cost-effective at all.

    Just like the Qin State in Guanzhong, it can achieve that kind of meticulous management.  However, after unifying the six countries, they found that this model could not be replicated.  The territory was too expanded, but the means of communication and transportation were limited So the miserable Great Qin Empire fell with such a vigor.

    So in the early years of the Han Dynasty, it was because of such experiences and lessons.  Therefore, in order to keep government affairs simple, Huang Lao was highly praised for governing by doing nothing.  Even in the future, the imperial power will not go to the countryside for this reason.  If government power is directly extended to the village level, the cost of administrative expenses will be horribly high.  This is one of the most important lessons for later generations of the Chinese dynasty, and that was after communication and transportation became extremely convenient.

    The ruling power of the imperial court only extended to the county level, and even that was the case.  Confucians of all ages still thought that administrative costs were too high.  Therefore, although the Confucian ministers of later generations were all disciples of Confucianism, they actually followed the Taoist approach.  It is better to do less than to do more and to do nothing.

    It would be best for the court to not care about anything except collecting taxes.  Because under the technical conditions at the time, it was normal for supervision to be inadequate.  Once you do something, it will immediately have huge negative effects.  Good things will turn into bad things, and in the end they will increase the burden on the people.

    Therefore, the most determined Confucian scholars of later generations are to oppose changes, reforms, and Just look at the important matter of ancient times such as providing relief to the victims. In the end, 30% to 40% of the food relief was distributed to the victims, which is the following.  Officials are capable, ethical and conscientious.  It is conceivable that if you do other things, how much administrative expenses will be spent?

    Therefore, since ancient times, the most proud thing about famous ministers and local officials is not disturbing the people.Already!

    The imperial court issues a decree and the whole country follows it.  The result is often that good things turn into bad things, and bad things turn into mourning.  It is the same whether it is the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty or the Huashi Gang of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.  Perhaps the matter itself did not cost so much, but when it was executed, and the officials involved in the execution were involved, it was infinitely expanded.

    It is because of these reasons that a unique model of governing the world has been derived, which is also the most economical way.  The so-called moral governance!

    Only by understanding these profound hidden meanings behind history can we understand more clearly how to deal with chaos.  Instead of taking it for granted, we govern the country with means that we think are advanced and brilliant but are actually completely inappropriate.

    That is as stupid as Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty. The people in the world don't even have food to eat, and they are surprised and ask why they don't eat meat?

    "Expecting kings and officials to restrain themselves morally is actually a forced and helpless approach.

    ¡°For example, Fu said that the series of things he did in Beijing were completely replicas of what he did in Huashan County.  Many conscientious people did not wait for Fu Yue to be implemented in the capital. They went to southern Xinjiang early to learn from it, and then implemented it in their own areas.  After Fu Yue was implemented in the capital, the whole country responded without issuing decrees, and the local officials below began to learn this trick.

    Such administrative costs are reduced too much. If Confucianism is in great prosperity, it is inevitable to praise a few words of self-improvement through inaction, and rule the world by virtue.  In fact, it is an act of cleaning up hygiene. The investment is small and the results are quick, so it can be regarded as a move that benefits the people.  Secondly, the most important thing is to use practical actions to show your stance and loyalty to the Imperial Master.  Use practical actions to stand up.

    Uncle Song Yu didn¡¯t think that deeply, not to mention that people like him wouldn¡¯t think of people from such a heart-wrenching perspective.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
