The most arrogant in history

Chapter 445: Incognito visit.

The man was frightened and asked, "My dear guest, who are you?"

"My name is Ye Kun."

“Oh, Ye Kun…Ah, Ye Kun!”

The man reacted, trembling with fear, and knelt down with a plop: "You are the King of Han... the Crown Prince? I am blind and deserve to die."

"Hurry up and get up." Ye Kun pulled the man up:

"Brother, we have abolished the kneeling ceremony a long time ago, don't you know? Even when meeting the emperor, you don't have to kneel, just clasp your fists."

The man stood up, his face flushed with pent-up anger: "Please forgive me, King Han, I can't speak..."

"You just said it very well. I don't blame you, brother."

Ye Kun took the man's hand and said, "Come on, follow me to find the village chief and we can talk."

The slave took out two silver coins from her bosom, placed them on the ridge of the field, and said to the village girl who was planting rice with a smile:

"Little girl, these two silver coins are for you. You can make earrings and bracelets with them as your dowry!"

The large-scale issuance of silver coins also boosted the jewelry industry.

Many middle-class families use silver coins to make jewelry.

Ye Kun did not prohibit the act of destroying silver coins to make jewelry, nor could he prohibit such private behavior.

The issuance of gold and silver coins was originally based on the intrinsic metal value of gold and silver.

The village girl got two silver coins, but stupidly she forgot to say thank you.

Jiao Nu smiled and said, "Little girl, won't you thank me?"

"Thank you, thank you, ma'am."

"You're welcome. I'm not your lady either. We are all the same."

Jiao Nu giggled and caught up with Ye Kun.

Tan Bamao, who was responsible for Ye Kun's security, also followed.

The village in front is called 'Heshun Village', which is composed of three nearby villages to form a village of hundreds of families.

When establishing Baijia Village, Ye Kun asked Wen Axiu's team to draw up a number of village names specifically for the new village.

For example, Shengli Village, Fengshou Village, Tianshui Village, Daoxiang Village, Tuanjie Village, Xingwang Village, Dayu Village, Baihua Village... In short, they are all auspicious names, representing Ye Kun's good wishes.

The village chief of Heshun Village is also busy in the fields, supervising the production of each household.

Because Ye Kun stipulated that the village chief of Baijia Village was responsible for all work and guiding agricultural production. The village chief's family was exempt from tax and it was considered as salary. If the village chief was unqualified, he would be replaced.

Assisting the village chief in his work is a militia captain.

A school principal also serves as an accountant, and a village doctor also serves as a health promoter.

School teachers, doctors in the medical room, and militia members must obey arrangements and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Before the Great Ding Kingdom, the three-level units of township, pavilion, and village also had "three elders" in their posts, one in charge of mulberry and hemp, one in charge of education, and one in charge of public security.

The village chief that Ye Kun has now appointed is equivalent to being in charge of farming, the school principal is in charge of education, and the militia captain is in charge of public security. It is similar to the past, except that the titles have changed.

But there is a village doctor, who is extra.

Before the Dading Kingdom, there were no village doctors.

Moreover, the village head, militia captain, village doctor, and school principal appointed by Ye Kun have all been incorporated into the management system. They are considered the most basic officials and receive salaries.

In this way, Ye Kun inserted his tentacles directly into the grassroots level, squeezing out the space of the gentry.

The village chief here didn't know Ye Kun either. He frowned and asked, "Wang Laowu, who is the distinguished guest you brought with you?"

Ye Kun clasped his fists and said, "I am Ye Kun."

"Ye Kun? Ah, Ye Kun, the King of Han?"

The village chief jumped up, panicking: "Why did the King of Han come to our place? I am sorry for not welcoming you..."

"What's the difference between villain and adult? They are all the same."

Ye Kun patted the village chief on the shoulder and said, "I just came here to take a look and chat with you. I want to ask if you have any difficulties at work. Don't worry, I'm not picking on you."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands and said, "Everything is fine at work, everything is fine..."

Ye Kun smiled and asked Wang Laowu, who was leading the way, to find the militia captain, the school principal and the village doctor for a meeting.

Jiao Nu had nothing to do, so she took two maids and two guards to stroll around the village.

Everyone gathered together and held a small meeting in the fields.

Ye Kun asked, "Do the county magistrate and the officials in charge of agriculture here come here often?"

The village chief replied: "The county magistrate comes once or twice a month, but the agricultural officials come quite often. The education officials also come to inspect the schools..."

Ye Kun asked about other situations and gained deeper understanding, and asked his followers to record them down.

The village doctor reported to Ye Kun: "It is difficult to get everyone to drink boiled water. The people find it troublesome and are unwilling to boil water. Most of them still drink well water."

"Well water has a high mineral content, which can cause urinary stones, which can be extremely painful. Or if you eat unclean food, you will have diarrhea, which can also be fatal."

Ye Kun sighed: "We still need to strengthen publicity on this point. The village head, school principal, team leader, and village doctor should play a leading role and start with their own families. After the busy farming season, we will carry out another large-scale publicity campaign."

In ancient times, there were no medicines and no hygienic habits were developed.

Fever or diarrhea can be fatal.

In recent years, the hygiene conditions of the people have improved a lot, but it is still not complete.

There is still a long way to go to develop correct hygiene habits.

The principal also sighed: "Some families are unwilling to send their children to school. Some children don't want to study... Some children study for a year or half a year and then stop coming. Studying is free, but I still have to go door to door to beg those children..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. We can make education compulsory in the future. Children must study for three years, otherwise, taxes will be increased by 10% for the whole family!"

Some things must be promoted compulsorily.

As long as taxes and fines are increased, everyone will obey.

Ye Kun also learned about the situation of playboys gambling from various sources.

When life becomes stable, some people become dishonest.

Tan Bamao said: "Catch all those who gamble and drink and send them to dig coal!"

"That's a good idea, I think so too."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "Let's discuss this later. Hang a blackboard at the entrance of each village. According to the actual situation, publish a blackboard newspaper every few days. Publicize the court's policies, release farming information, and educate people. Those who cannot be educated will be sent to dig coal!"

The village blackboard newspapers have been implemented in Hanzhong and Dongba County for several years with very good results.

Generally, when the 24 solar terms arrive, blackboard newspapers are put up in advance to remind everyone not to delay the farming season.

Some notices will also be written on the blackboard.

There are also popular science propaganda, agricultural knowledge, animal husbandry experience and so on.

This is the responsibility of the school principal and teachers. There is no need to send any more people. Just provide the blackboard and chalk.

A blackboard newspaper can also make certain contributions to popularizing education and improving national culture.

After the investigation, Ye Kun left the village and continued on his way, resting in the small county town ahead.

Tan Bamao said, "Godfather, should we send someone to notify the county magistrate and make preparations?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "We are going to visit incognito, so let's not trouble the county magistrate."

Tan Bamao nodded and continued to protect the emperor.

A group of people disguised themselves as merchants and followed the emperor's carriage to the city gate.
