Chapter 683: Scolding the father to the son.
Chapter 683: Scolding the father to the son.
Ye Kun shouted, "Listen to my command. Point at Ye Shusheng and shout together - your father's name is Ye Kun. Shout it three times in a row. Ready, go!"
The guards held their heads high and pointed at Ye Shusheng: "Your father is Ye Kun, your father is Ye Kun, your father is Ye Kun!"
Guo Ping, Wei Ning and others were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
Ye Shusheng shrugged, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Ye Kun turned around and looked at the two men fighting:
"You heard it, you saw it. I am the emperor, and anyone can call me by my name. Why are your names so precious?
The soldier called my name in front of my son. Is there a piece of flesh missing from my son? Is there a piece of flesh missing from me? "
The two men bowed together: "Your Majesty, we were wrong."
Ye Kun nodded and said to the village chief: "You should work with the village teachers to educate the naughty children. Scolding the father in front of the son is indeed impolite and needs to be criticized. We are a country of etiquette, so we should be civilized.
However, we should not let the fight between naughty children damage the harmony among the villagers. We should properly handle disputes in the village in the future. If we are not careful, it may lead to a murder case. "
The village chief nodded repeatedly.
Ye Kun took out two silver coins and handed them to the two fighting parties respectively: "Hold hands, and forget your grudges. Go buy some medicinal wine for sprains and bruises, and rub your faces with it. Don't fight in the future, or the law will not show mercy."
The two men laughed awkwardly and ran away holding hands.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I asked you to hold hands, not to run away holding hands! Aren't you ashamed of holding hands as grown men?"
Everyone laughed.
Ye Kun's mood also improved, and he went to the tavern to take a look.
Guo Ping accompanied him and asked the tavern owner to prepare some wine and food.
The boss was quick and efficient, bringing a pot of wine, a plate of braised beef, a plate of peanuts, a plate of walnut kernels, and a plate of bean sticks.
Ye Kun tasted it and found it tasted good. He asked, "Boss, how much do these four dishes cost?"
"Not expensive, only ten cents. And a jug of wine, two cents."
"Are there many people who come to drink? How much money can you make every month?"
"There are merchants coming and going, and villagers from our village. About thirty customers a day. Every month, every month... I can make some money."
"Thirty customers a day, nine hundred a month. If I make one cent per customer, that's nine hundred cents. It's very profitable."
Ye Kun smiled and pointed at the food and drinks: "We can make money, but we have to ensure that they are clean and hygienic, and we can't let the guests get diarrhea after eating."
The boss nodded and bowed: "These are all fresh vegetables, very clean."
Ye Kun nodded and asked the village chief: "Village chief, do the people in your village often drink in the wine shop?"
The village chief replied, "Not often, just occasionally. Grain is cheap now, and every family makes wine, raises pigs, chickens, and dogs. We have salted eggs, salted duck eggs, and peanuts, so there is no shortage of snacks to go with wine. When I have nothing to do, I drink at home, or go to a wine shop and call friends to drink and chat."
"These days are pretty good."
Ye Kun was a little envious.
The village chief smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the emperor. He has unified the world and we ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Ye Kun asked again: "Are there any other inconveniences in life?"
The village chief thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "It's just that hunting has become harder. There are fewer prey in the mountains. In the past, we could eat panda meat, but now we can't eat it anymore. It's very expensive."
"Panda?"
Ye Kun was stunned for a moment, then said to Guo Ping, "By the way, I'm thinking about introducing an animal protection law to prohibit the hunting of giant pandas and rhinos. There are not many of these animals left now, and we need to leave some for our descendants."
Pandas are giant pandas, and can be found in the mountainous areas around Yizhou.
However, after the troops were equipped with muskets, the hunting of giant pandas accelerated, and the number of giant pandas decreased significantly.
Rhinos still exist in South Central, but not many.
Ye Kun knew that rhinos in later generations became extinct in South Asia and were only found in Africa.
Therefore, protecting rare animals is urgent.
Guo Ping pondered and said, "Pandas don't seem to be that rare. They can be found in the surrounding mountains... Rhinos are rare."
"If you don't take care of it, it will become strange in the future."
Ye Kun rolled his eyes: "I will issue a military order to prohibit all garrisons and civilians from hunting pandas and other bears, as well as some wild deer, bison, and yaks."
Most of those who hunt giant pandas are troops stationed in mountainous areas.
Because there was an ample supply of gunpowder, the soldiers went hunting to supplement their diet when they had nothing to do.
Guo Ping nodded: "I will obey your order and cooperate with the court."
In fact, it was difficult to prohibit private hunting using ancient regulatory methods.
If ordinary people go into the mountains to hunt, can you still keep an eye on them all the time?
Ye Kun also understood this, so he could only legislate to ban it and protect rare animals from a legal perspective.
At least Ye Kun could still control the military hunting.
From Chongqing to Chengdu, we pass through seven counties on the way.
Ye Kun was not in a hurry. He just treated the trip as a sightseeing trip. He inspected every county, encouraged the local officials, and checked their performance.
Guo Ping's governance of Shuzhong is indeed impeccable.
Ye Kun checked along the way and found no major problems.
"Sir, the court should reward you." Ye Kun said with a smile, "You have governed Shu better than I did back then."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I did nothing but complete my work according to the will and laws of the court. The reason why Shuzhong is getting better and better is that the country is peaceful and the people are resting, so it is developing faster.
If the emperor investigates carefully, I am just a lazy official who governs by doing nothing."
Guo Ping is very modest.
Wei Ning laughed and said, "What kind of lazy official has the courage to make Shu flourish and full of vitality?"
Guo Ping said, "King Jing, I am not lying. I really do nothing to govern. The emperor also said that the basis of governing a country is not to govern the people, but to govern the officials. The people only need proper guidance. They can live a good life and do not need you to govern them."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "What Governor Guo said makes sense. Living is one's own business, and the court can only be responsible for guidance and education. In the next two years, our agricultural education and support will basically end.
Because the promotion of improved varieties, composting technology, farming technology, fruit tree grafting, vegetable planting, animal husbandry, etc. have been carried out for many years. Ordinary people have already learned it. "
The investment in agriculture, medical care and education has been huge over the years.
Not only did technicians go to the countryside to provide guidance, but many village heads and young militiamen also studied and practiced on the court's farms.
Every farmer's household has a dedicated compost pit.
The imperial court printed wall calendars every year, two feet square, and gave them to the people for free to post in every household.
The wall calendar contains not only a calendar, but also the 24 solar terms, guidance for local agricultural production, as well as many rhymes and agricultural proverbs.
Farmers are not stupid, they are production experts.
With more specific guidance from the imperial court, agriculture can be developed naturally.
Therefore, Sang Buzhi and Ye Kun both felt that it was time to relax and popularize agricultural technology.
Let the rural areas develop themselves and see the results.
Guo Ping nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. We have supported the rural areas for so many years, and we can indeed let go. However, education and medical care are still difficult tasks because there are too many newborns."
If you have children, you need education and medical care.
It is foreseeable that there will not be enough primary schools in the future.
Ye Kun asked: "Are there any shortages of people in education and medical care in various parts of Yizhou?"
