Chapter Ninety-Two: Good Things Happen Again and Again
As one after another people came up to denounce the crimes of these evil monks, the onlookers began to discuss. Those faithful believers standing behind the Holy Buddha Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple also showed surprise in their eyes at this time.
The spokesmen of the gods they believed in had done so many angry things, and they began to retreat, trying to keep their distance from these monks and Taoist priests.
Seeing this situation, Yang Yun quietly glanced at Guo Long next to him, Guo Long immediately understood, took two steps forward and said loudly.
"Someone! Take down all these monks and Taoist priests and take them to the county government for interrogation. The people who have been wronged also go to the county government to tell them their grievances. We will never spare a monk who has done evil deeds, but we will not wronged a monk who is dedicated to good.
As soon as Guo Long's order was given, Liu Yuan and others behind him immediately took a group of county officials and stepped forward to surround the monks of the Holy Buddha Temple and the Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Temple.
These monks and Taoist priests shouted angrily, trying to call on the men and women behind them to come out and protect them. However, these people, who had believed in them before, stood still this time, and let the government arrest them all.
The county government came forward and persuaded all the people to return to their homes and wait for news from the county government. And the people who have grievances have rushed to the county office, and of course they will not let go of this opportunity to clear their grievances.
In this way, many adult cases began to be tried in front of many people present in the courtyard of the county government.
In fact, these cases are not complicated, and many of them are conclusively evidenced. It's just that because of the high status of these monks and Taoist priests in Wu County in the past, there was the support of countless believing men and women, and they could not be tried against them.
Now that many ordinary people in the county seat of Wuxian have come to know their true colors, these unscrupulous monks have lost the support of the people, and they have suddenly changed from arrogant to depressed, and they have honestly confessed their crimes.
Based on the circumstances of this trial, the county government made a decision on the spot to deal with the monks. For those who violate the law if the circumstances are serious, those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who should be killed will be killed.
Those who were minor were expelled from Wu County and asked to leave within five days. And those monks who keep their duties are the monks who are welcomed by Wu County, and they can continue to meditate and chant Buddha in Wu County.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yun and others cleaned up the property of the Holy Buddha Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple, and some of the illegal income was returned to the victims, while some were included in the county government warehouse.
After cleaning up these bad properties, Yang Yun and the others couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This Holy Buddha Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple, two monastic temples and Taoist temples, there are so many treasures in them.
There are countless silver taels and grain in it, which is enough for the people of Wu County to eat for several months. However, when the people of Wu County were very short of food, these monks, who claimed to be compassionate, were unwilling to give food to help the people.
Seeing these grains and silver taels, Yang Yun's people finally put their minds at ease, with these grains, plus the grains collected from the landlords and merchants last time, they can finally support the people of the county until this year's crops are ripe.
With food, Yang Yun has more confidence and fully mobilizes the people of the county. Taking advantage of the slack season, they have the strength to go up the mountain to mine, and if they have the technology, they always plant medicinal herbs or repair ditches.
Others went to dig a large reservoir to store water, and even the county soldiers in the county seat and the bandits in the soaphorn ditch in the rhinoceros valley used it, and even the old and young women and children in the county town were called out to serve.
The enthusiasm of the people is still quite high, because they know that the county government does these things for the benefit of the people. At the same time, you can still earn copper plates or food, why not do it?
As a result, driven by the county government, the large-scale production movement in Wu County began vigorously.
Difficulties began again, and the miners and those who dug the reservoirs were in trouble, and the stones in the mountains were too hard. Iron tools are not hard enough to dig these stones, so they often only dig a small part of the stone in a day.
In the end, everyone had no choice but to report the news to Yang Yun, and Yang Yun directly said: "Explode!" ”
As a result, the people next to him were at a loss, and after asking, Yang Yun knew that gunpowder had not yet been invented in this era of Dafu, Yang Yun remembered that in the era he lived in, someone had invented gunpowder a long time ago in ancient times.
There was no way, Yang Yun had to find a way to make gunpowder. Yang Yun remembered that the ingredients used to make gunpowder were saltpeter, sulfur, and coal, but he didn't remember the proportions.
There was no way, he could only try little by little. Fortunately, he still remembered that among the ingredients used to make gunpowder, the main one was saltpeter, and he had to make up more than half of it.
Tried again and again, tried again and again. Finally, Yang Yun revealed the most primitive gunpowder according to the ratio of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal about eight layers, and one layer of sulfur and charcoal.
When Yang Yun successfully mined these gunpowder mines and dug reservoirs to store water, he immediately stunned the people of Wu County. The black powder was wrapped together and lit with a long rope of fire, and even the stones could be broken.
With this gunpowder, everyone did things much more efficiently, and soon the prototype of a large reservoir was formed. And in the task of mining, the boulders that block everyone are also easily destroyed like tofu.
Seeing that everything was going so smoothly, Yang Yun was in a much better mood. In his letter to Chi Li, he exchanged this series of happy things with Chi Li one by one.
Since arriving in Wu County, Yang Yun will communicate with Chi Li whenever he has time. Some time ago, the county was under tremendous pressure, and many things were struggling.
But Yang Yun's letters to Chi Li always described Wu County very beautifully, and the folk customs were simple. Let Chi Li rest assured. Then the chapters of various novels were updated, which were very popular in Xijing.
So Yang Yun continued to work as a porter, carrying all kinds of novels from the previous world one by one. Fortunately, Yang Yun still has a bit of literary talent, and he can only remember the general storyline in his previous novels, but he can connect these storylines little by little.
Liuyi also has letters, judging from the letters from Tuoba and Yang Ying. The two of them are still very happy, and Yang Ying is still very satisfied with Tuoba Du. Yang Yun laughed when he saw it, he knew Yang Ying's personality, although she was a daughter, she was actually very strong.
Fortunately, Tuoba is a person who spoils his wife very much. was eaten to death by Yang Ying, he didn't think so, and felt very happy and happy.
Seeing this pair of lovers so happy, Yang Yun also sincerely blessed them.
Not long ago, I actually received a letter from Duanmu Aoyue, this guy is quite well-informed, and he actually knows that he has come to Wu County.
Duanmu Aoyue said in a letter to Yang Yun. They bought many good horses from the Feihuang tribe in Liuyi. The Feihuang tribe also sent people to Zheng Guo to teach them horse taming and horse raising techniques.
This kind of thing made the king of Zheng very happy. gave their family a nice fief. Duanmu Aoyue's father was very happy and praised him all day long.
Mother Sima Yu also sent a letter, when she heard that Yang Yun met Yan Xiong here, and worshiped Yan Xiong as her father-in-law. Sima Yu was also very happy, he told Yang Yun that Yan Xiong was a very affectionate person, and hoped that Yang Yun would not let him down.
Liansheng Wang Yang Ming also wrote to ask about his development in Wu County. Yang Yun had reservations and introduced some information to him. The difficulties encountered in the development of Wu County were talked about one by one to his brother.
As for the subduing of the two bandits, it did not say a word, because the matter had to be kept in the highest degree of secrecy. If Emperor Fu knew about this, it would be a very troublesome thing.
There is also this Fifth Emperor Brother for himself, although he is very good to himself. But Yang Yun still didn't dare to trust him unreservedly, maybe he was used to seeing him in the palace, and there was no family affection between the princes. I don't think it's true enough to be good to him.
In his letter to Emperor Fu, he talked most about the difficult conditions here in Wu County, and everything was difficult. But in the letter, he stated that this is a good thing, and he can grow quickly.
Emperor Fu also felt a little guilty about arranging such a fief for Yang Yun. But seeing Yang Yun say this, Emperor Fu was still quite happy, and he encouraged Yang Yun to work hard in his reply letter, and write to him if he needed anything.
Yang Yun also unceremoniously said in his reply to Emperor Fu that bandits here were very rampant, and the landlords and merchants in the county town, as well as the monks in the temples and Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, all colluded with the bandits, which made him very annoyed.
All the development of the county has all kinds of obstacles, and I hope that Emperor Fu can allow it and recruit more soldiers.
Emperor Fu arranged his son here, a very poor place with many bandits. There is also some guilt in his heart, for the safety of his son, the father said very happily. Other counties have the largest number of soldiers.
In view of the special situation in Wu County, the recruitment technique can reach eight thousand, which makes Yang Yun and these core figures of Yang Yun's forces very happy. At least the number of troops can be increased.
However, judging from the current situation, it is obviously very difficult for Wu County to recruit 8,000 soldiers with such a small population. There is no way, just take one step at a time.
Immediately after that, there was another good news, the people who came to Yu Yue came back, and they really got the potatoes back. This situation made Yang Yun very happy, and immediately cut the potatoes into pieces according to the germination holes, buried them in the slope, and soon the potatoes sprouted.
With sweet potatoes and potatoes, Yang Yun is even happier, at least Wu County is no longer prone to the famine years that they used to have.
For ordinary people, they don't care who is in power, they only care about whether they can fill their stomachs.
So there are potatoes and sweet potatoes, these crops that are suitable for growing on slopes. They were not in danger of starvation, so they were very satisfied with Yang Yun.
In this way, Yang Yun's various decrees can be issued smoothly and get the full support of the people.
