Chapter 492: Officials, Merchants, and People

Qiao Mu is taking his son here, and the chickens and dogs are jumping all day long, and several gentlemen are no longer ready to sue Qiao Mu, but turn to reason with the parents of their son's playmates. The arbor on the side belongs to the pure watch lively.

There is a circle of chickens and dogs jumping around him, and the days of Qiao Mu are colorful, and he doesn't even care much about the pregnant and out-of-shape figure.

In comparison, the city lord of Yan Shao has been much busier recently, and there are more and more homeless people from Kyoto.

One wonders whether Kyoto's pacification of the Qin region has any effect, and why the number of displaced people has increased instead of decreasing.

Fortunately, the lord of Yancheng sent back the king's canonization of Brother Ping's little prince, as well as the fief of Pingling to Luoyanguan.

I have to admit that Kyoto is really generous, don't look at the three levels, but these checkpoints near Yancheng are as vast and sparsely populated as Yancheng, and the territory between the three checkpoints is vast.

If there are enough manpower to reclaim it, there will be enough fertile land to appease the displaced people.

Thinking of this, Lord Yan Shaocheng was happy. There are enough manpower, so many homeless people, he has no shortage of manpower. In the end, it is my father, and I don't have to worry about the place to settle the homeless people now.

The lord of Yan Shaocheng thought that if he wanted to move some of the residents in Yancheng, he was afraid that the action would be too big, and if he didn't get it right, people would be panicked, but being together in the homeless people would definitely be unfavorable to the management of Yancheng.

In the absence of his father, how to choose between the pros and cons, Yan Shaocheng Lord was not able to choose for a while.

Just in time for the monthly council, the lord of Yan Shaocheng asked all the adults to express their opinions, and finally everyone commented, which can be regarded as the head of a hundred schools.

Only then did the adults know that the original review could still be used like this, and it was really the young city lord, who was much more far-sighted than the woman, if the review had such an effect at the beginning, why would they resist it so much.

Isn't it nice to be able to deal with things now, and it's easy to deal with things.

In the end, the military management proposed by the city lord of Yan Shao was the most enthusiastic in the review.

As for some detailed regulations on military control, they still need to be carefully negotiated and drawn up by all the adults.

It's just that there are too many displaced people, and the time is too Taiji, and I don't give these people much time.

Yan Yang transferred General Xiao Li from the guard battalion on the other side of Xinjie, and let a general be the leader of the guards.

But it is not appropriate to let General Xiao Li go to Brother Ping's fiefdom to guard it, at least on the face.

Director Yan Shaocheng ordered General Xiao Li to lead Yan Qing and Yan Zi to guard Pinglingdu and Luoyan Pass.

The guards are all from Shaocheng Mansion, and General Xiao Li, the supreme commander, is just good-looking.

However, because it is Xiao Shizi's fiefdom, General Xiao Li, as his cousin, has nothing to say, so it can be regarded as pure help.

After all, Yan Qing's guards are the people around Xiao Shizi, as for Yan Zi, those who know this person know that this person has a very good relationship with his wife. If you insist on dividing it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the people around Xiao Shizi.

So even if he helped Xiao Shizi to receive the fief.

It's not that the city lord of Yan Shao is unwilling to give the Li family a chance, nor is it that the city lord of Yan Shao is unwilling to give up power, but that this place in Pinglingdu is too special.

Letting the Li family guard in this place is equivalent to giving the Li family a chance to contact the major families in Kyoto, and the Li family, as the second largest family in Yancheng, the young city lord of Yan doesn't want to take risks, and he doesn't want people to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, so he will collapse from the inside.

Therefore, there are only dark guards who turn from dark to light, Yan Zi and a few of them are suitable.

In terms of identity, only Yan Zi's current official position is still competent.

Pinglingdu needs Yan Zi to guard, Yan Zi is surrounded by his own people, and the military management of Yan Shaocheng Lord is aimed at these trustworthy people.

The displaced people of Pinglingdu were assigned to the subordinates of Yan Zi by the lord of Yan Shao with ten, hundred, and thousand households, and the guards not only guarded Pinglingdu, but also let the ten households and hundreds of households under their names reclaim wasteland.

Of course, in terms of management, the city lord of Yan Shao has softened a lot, and only said to the outside world that Pinglingdu is a village with ten households, and the guards who take the lead are regarded as the village head.

Military service is not required as a displaced person under military control. This one is more humane. It can be seen that the city lord of Yan Shao has learned and used it lively.

As for taxes, they are no different from Yancheng. The only difference is that there is only one more village chief for ten households. This makes it easier to manage.

After all, where the displaced people are settled, all kinds of chaos come one after another, even if the city lord of Yan Shao has the heart to govern, it is not achieved overnight. It takes time, it needs to be combed.

If Qiao Mu knew these methods of Yan Yang, he would definitely know that Yan Yang must have read from the Three Kingdoms to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in his notebook.

Since the city lord of Yan Shaocheng raised the treatment of the guards around him, the treatment of the soldiers in Yancheng has long been eye-catching.

The outcasts are looking forward to being selected for military service.

I didn't see those guards, some of them have a field to live a more nourishing life, it is the hard point of training, and there are fine grains and big meats to follow, not to mention the silver.

So it didn't matter how Yan Zi's guards publicized it, these households were eager to leave the relationship and send their children to the guard house.

Yan Zi's guards took the strip given by the city lord of Yan Shao, a soldier in wartime, and when there was a truce, he was naturally a farmer.

These guards have their own land in Pinglingdu here, and if there is a war, no one will be willing to lose their land and homeland.

The young city lord's method is wonderful, but if the soldiers want to fight hard, they still can't stop training, and the peasants who pick up hoes all day long can't be counted on to fight.

Pinglingdu's recruitment of displaced people into the army did not delay the reclamation of land, and the training of the team brought out by Yan Zi's guards must have been high-intensity.

In order to cooperate with the farming, as well as the land reclamation, Yan Zi's guards are all trained separately, half and half, anyway, there is no shortage of silver or food on their side.

Yan Shaocheng Lord said, as long as you guard Pinglingdu. And it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. They're going to show it to Kyoto.

General Xiao Li, who was watching in a hurry at Pinglingdu, couldn't find his head, and he hadn't seen any general put aside the checkpoint war and concentrate on farming.

When I arrived at Luoyan Pass, which was close to Qingshi Pass on Yanqing's side, it was tight both inside and outside, and Yanyang only wanted that the reclaimed wasteland could make the displaced people self-sufficient.

Datong Xiaoyi, the lord of Yan Shaocheng, it doesn't take three or five years, as long as he can pass safely for two years, the homes built by these homeless people will have a sense of belonging.

At that time, whether it is Pinglingdu or Luoyanguan, the hearts of the people will be on their side of Yancheng, and it is difficult to say about the rest, not to mention the guards over there, they are all fighting side by side with the lord of Yanshao City on the side of the border city.

Those displaced people who were co-opted were, strictly speaking, the militia, the reserves. The city lord of Yan Shao is now wealthy, and he doesn't care about the expenditure of this bit of silver, as long as he can appease the displaced people for the time being.

When the land is reclaimed and food is grown, life is better, and the displaced people have a sense of belonging to their homeland, and Pinglingdu is his Yancheng iron territory. So Yan Zi has to resist him no matter what.

The city lord of Yan Shao looked forward to it, don't mess up the capital, don't mess up the Qin land, so that Yan Cheng has a chance to absorb the territory. After two years, even if Kyoto is in chaos, the city lord of Yan Shao can guarantee that he will not be able to go to his son's fiefdom.

His father and son of the Yan family will not let the war approach Yancheng, the guards of Yancheng will not let the war affect Yancheng, and the people who live a comfortable life will not let the war over there destroy the homes that were built.

As for the leader of the guard, because of this incident, he still couldn't return to Yancheng for a while.

Qiao Mu couldn't help it, he was sorry to look at it too expensive, how could he dare to be so just.

Holding the letter sent back by the leader in his hand, he carefully handed it to Tai Gui: "I'm afraid that the leader won't come back for a while, this is a letter to you." Don't be annoyed with him, it's not up to him to have the final say. It's just too much of a coincidence. ”

It's too expensive: 'Madame doesn't have to be like this, man, career is important, not to mention the big thing in my Yancheng.' ’

Qiao Mu: "This time it was really an accident, the young city lord had already said that when the leader came back, he would only let him do things in the mansion, and he would not be allowed to go out for too long, who knew that he happened to be under Brother Ping's fiefdom." We can't let General Li be busy for our territory. Isn't that the leader just over there? ”

Too expensive: "Madam, the slave doesn't understand this thing, you don't have to be like this." ”

Qiao Mu pursed his lips: "Aren't I afraid that you will be in a hurry." ”

It's too expensive: "It's all said, it's not that you can't give birth, it's the same sooner or later, just don't always emphasize this, just don't always emphasize this, after being looked at by your pity, the slave and maid themselves will think that they can't be born." ”

Qiao Mu: "Hehe, I won't say it, be confident in yourself, trust the leader more, the child will have it sooner or later, hehe." But this time it's really not your young city lord who is in the way. ”

It's too expensive to be in charge, you also know that the young city lord is getting in the way, it's really not easy.

Listening to Madame's words, why is it so unpleasant. Is that the breath that you can give birth to? After being speechless for a long time, he took the letter brought back by the leader: "Madam, the slave and maid are retired." ”

Qiao Mu waved his hand: "Go back and read the letter to relieve the pain of lovesickness." ”

It's too expensive, not shy at all, and his face is dark: "Madam, be cautious." After saying that, he turned his head and left, obviously directly classifying the ridicule that was too expensive on non-etiquette.

Yancheng up and down because of the new three levels, from top to bottom are lively, busy, the college here to select students to go to Pinglingdu to teach, how big is the border area of Yancheng, where is the free school.

These were the words of the castle lord at the beginning. After the college made arrangements early, they went to Yanyang to ask for instructions.

After hearing that most of Xiao Shizi's fiefdom were homeless, the merchant spontaneously prepared food, cloth and some emergency supplies for Xiao Shizi's fief.

Of course, the initiators of these merchants are all Qiao Stewards, and Qiao Stewards have already thought about it, not only to send things, money, rice and grain, but also to get his Qiao family's restaurants, wine shops, and butcher shops, and their own turf to be carefully managed, so they can't lose their own little son.

For Steward Qiao, he is more concerned about Xiao Shizi's territory, which is only half of their Qiao family's territory.

Yancheng is rich, and it is also the lord of the city, and there are also young city lords. No matter how good their Qiao family develops, it is all about making wedding dresses for others and managing other people's territory.

And Xiao Shizi's side is different, that is the heir of the lady, that is his own territory.

If it weren't for the fact that Brother Ping's fief was drawn in Kyoto, Steward Qiao would have to be aggrieved for Brother Ping, why did he seal so many places that were not very rich.

Although he has never been to Kyoto or walked through Pingling to cross the Yanguan, he also knows what kind of place it is, and the students from Kyoto in the wine shop have not introduced the scenery along the way. Steward Yan still knows a little bit about it in general.

Therefore, on the merchant's side, Steward Yan, as the leader of the merchant, mobilized very well, and even organized a group of merchants to conduct a collective inspection in the past, just to invigorate the economy for Xiao Shizi's chassis.

Qiao Mu didn't know where this old man had so much energy to toss these merchants.

However, Steward Qiao insisted on this trip, and even handed over the errand on Yancheng's side to Ergui, who had been with him for two years.

Qiao Mu had no choice but to prepare a large amount of silver for Steward Qiao, after all, nothing could be done without silver.

He even explained to Steward Qiao: "It's a long way here, and it's not easy to travel back and forth, if it's inconvenient, just go to the city lord's mansion in Kyoto to contact Steward Yan." ”

Steward Qiao then set off with the merchant group. Among them, I also piggyback on a few teachings that went to Pinglingdu.

There are also more than a dozen truckloads of grain, cotton and linen sent by villagers from all over Yancheng, which has to be said to be the propaganda method of Qiao Guan.

People can raise so many things just by using their personal reputation,

The villagers have all said that since they are settled in our Yancheng, they are the villagers of our Yancheng, not to mention the villagers in the fiefdom of our little prince, everyone has stretched out their hands, and the hard days have passed.

So the result of stretching out the handle is that Joe's team is even larger.

It is rare for such a large amount of grain to be shipped out, and everyone dares to take out the grain to help the displaced people, I don't know how much rice and grain Yanyang can raise if he uses the official reputation to raise his arms.

Qiao Mu could only think about it in his heart, he didn't dare to encourage Yan Yang to really do this, in case people's hearts were unstable and Yancheng was in chaos, wouldn't she become the culprit. I can't try this even if I'm curious.

Fortunately, the good news from Pinglingdu came one after another, and I recently heard that the wasteland reclaimed by Pinglingdu has been cultivated.

Qiao Mu thought that if he was not pregnant, he would go back to the homeless people over there to exchange some grain crops with high yield per mu and short cycle. It's a pity she can't move. I don't think there's much I can do.

Recently, the displaced people on the side of Xinjie have not stopped for the sake of Pinglingdu, and these husbands are also organizing fundraising, which should have been led by Qiao Mu, the wife of the village chief.

However, it was his son's fiefdom, and Qiao Mu had to avoid suspicion, otherwise it would become a fundraising for his son.

The students and wives here are all thoughtful and understand the difficulties of the arbor, and the only time they brushed away the village chief's wife and acted alone.

In the end, a whole dozen carts of things were made, and the coachmen organized by the various prefectures caught up with the footsteps of Steward Qiao, and then sent them over.

Qiao Mu couldn't pretend not to know, and invited all the ladies here with a big belly: "Thank you for your high righteousness." ”

The wife of the Prime Minister: "Madame is polite, resettle the displaced people, even the people of my Yancheng have this awareness, I will wait to do it, isn't that how it should be." If Madame is saying anything, she will be ashamed of me. ”

Qiao Mu: "In this way, I will not be polite to all the ladies, I believe that as long as I survive this spring, I believe that whether it is Pinglingdu or the displaced people resettled in other parts of my Yancheng, they will be safe." ’

The ladies are in line with: 'Mrs. To's auspicious words, yes, speaking of which, the city lord and the young city lord are dedicated to the homeless people, speaking of which Kyoto is rich in land and resources, manpower, material resources or assets are not comparable to my Yancheng, and it is close to Qindi, I heard that the royal capital also ordered to be pacified early, why are there such homeless people coming to my Yancheng. ’

Qiao Mu sat on the top seat, stroking his belly, and the ladies below followed the topic.

The students who came from Kyoto were knowledgeable with their families, and then some people said, what is Pinglingdu like, and what is Luoyanguan like.

The most important thing is what Kyoto is like. It made the ladies on Yancheng's side very knowledgeable.

Finally, the topic returns. Why Kyoto's pacification didn't help. The ladies who also said how good Kyoto is and how prosperous it is, don't speak.

If you talk about prosperity alone, Yancheng and Kyoto will definitely not be comparable. But Yancheng, which is not as prosperous as Kyoto, is impeccable in appeasing the displaced people. From top to bottom, the people are single-minded, and they are stunned to bear the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation for so many people.

At this time, if you want to say that Kyoto is good, they don't have such a big face.

Qiao Mu sighed, who said that women don't care about political affairs, look, this woman's party scene is depressed.

Let the little girls around you fill the tea and water for the ladies: "The ladies don't have to be like this, let's just get our hearts, aren't there men for the rest of the things." If my Yancheng is beyond my strength, there will naturally be Kyoto to take responsibility, and my Yancheng can't be compared with Kyoto anyway. ”

The lady on the other side of the guard obviously disagreed, although they didn't have any knowledge and had never been to Kyoto, but it was obvious that Kyoto failed to appease the displaced people, so they Yancheng would contribute money and efforts. Madame's words are too modest.

Mrs. Xiang catered to: "Madame is right, in the end, Kyoto is not something that we can compare with a partial." ”

Both ladies said so, and neither of them could refute it. However, the ladies who came over from Kyoto had a little spicy face, and this should be said, and what the truth is, can only be seen by the benevolent and the wise.

Lord Yan Shaocheng never thought that there would be such a day in Yancheng, and the officials and the people would work together to appease the displaced people. I don't know how the style of painting became like this. The people who said it was good were fierce, and the bitter cold land that was said to be good.

If he hadn't known that the affairs of the people were all instigated by Steward Qiao, Lord Yan Shaocheng would have almost thought that someone was inciting people's hearts and had bad intentions.

The city lord of Yan Shao also noticed the merchants for the first time in a real sense, it turned out that this crowd of people who were not able to get on the table in Kyoto and Yancheng could have such a great energy as written in the small luminous book.

can do things that the government can't do, but in the past, it was too big for itself.

More and more attention to Qiao Mu's notebook, in Yan Yang's view, this is a well-deserved divine book, ask for anything, you can ask for anything. A hundred years later, we must put this luminous book in the bookstore on Xinjie to enshrine.

Just like the city lord of Yan Shao, there are also those officials, clans, and royal families in Kyoto.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, the bitter cold land, and the people are fierce, can you do the same thing? Not to mention that the rebellion in Qindi stemmed from superstition, from immortality or something.

And Yancheng happens to be a positive teaching material, people don't believe in God and believe in science, so people are doing so well.

Not to mention the people of Qindi, when they first heard about the students, guards, and people's welfare in Yancheng, how many people began to panic, and how many people wanted to go to Yancheng in person to confirm its authenticity.

If this is the case, it is worth it to be able to settle in such a stable place again, even if you are uprooted from your homeland. At least give your children and grandchildren a comfortable environment.

When he saw the eyes of the Yan City Lord, the eyes of both the clan and the officials were different. Of course, the king's eyes were different when he saw the Yan City Lord.

The lord of Yancheng knows that his son and daughter-in-law can toss, and he will not be able to toss so much, do things silently, and make a fortune in a low-key manner, is it not good, he has to make such a big fanfare, I don't know if his old man is still in Kyoto.

Aren't you afraid of being taken hostage by the king? It's a little sad.

When the clan asked the officials, the lord of Yancheng could still prevaricate, but when the king asked, the lord of Yancheng could only pretend to be sad and carry it to the end: "Your Majesty, others believe it, how can you believe it, I don't say anything about Yancheng, what is it like to cross Pingling to Luoyanguan, can you not know." The generals who were transferred back from Luoyan Pass are still there, and if you ask them, won't everything be clear? The ministers did not believe in the rumors. ”

The king nodded, he didn't believe it, what the dignified royal family couldn't do, why did Yancheng do it.

Lord Yancheng: "How many dangers and obstacles are there all the way from Qindi to Yancheng, and the wealth of my family can save geometry, and the strength of my Yancheng can not starve to death at best." It's not that the minister shirks, it's really powerless, as for the rumors outside, let the minister say, it's just propaganda and pacification methods, otherwise why would it be rumored that the people and merchants joined forces to provide disaster relief. I'm afraid that as a last resort, my son forcibly requisitioned the grain of the merchants in Yancheng. ”

Most people think that what the Lord of Yancheng said makes sense, otherwise who is stupid like this, and puts money in it for nothing.

It is rumored that there are many things to do, and the city lord is just beautifying it in order to cover up the means of plundering.

Wang: "Aiqing is hard, since it has been ordered to be the fief of Xiao Shizi, no matter what, it will not be more deserved, Aiqing only needs to pass the message to Yanyang, as long as it can appease the displaced people, the widow will not investigate the means." “

The lord of Yancheng scolded his mother, the matter on my Yancheng territory, do you want to investigate it, do you have this means.

How chaotic Qindi is, isn't it just that you are so unscrupulous.

The king: 'Aiqing, the people of Qin are unbearable to educate and annoy the gods, no matter how majestic the altar is, how can there be gods coming. Aiqing, I think Yancheng is good. ”

Lord of Yancheng: "Your Majesty, my Yandi is bitterly cold, and the people are fierce, how can this be the case if there is a god descending, dissatisfied with the king, this year, the temple of my Yancheng is covered with snow." ”

This matter must not be hidden from Kyoto, and the Lord of Yancheng has no burden at all.

Wang Shang: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much. As long as Aiqing governs well, there will always be a time for the gods to take care of him. ”

The lord of Yancheng said in his heart, as long as you don't go to harm. It really doesn't matter if I have gods in Yancheng or not, it's a good thing that the temple has collapsed, at least this one doesn't care about going to Yancheng to harm the disaster, after all, the temple has been avalancheed, and there will definitely be no gods.
