Chapter 252: I Want to Ask Madame for Guilt! (Large Chapter)
Why do you say that this is a conspiracy to blackmail Shengfan? Because Shengfan has the most primitive and simple religious feelings. It is impossible for them to ignore the temple of the mountain god.
Each of the Shengfan tribes has their own gods, but they have one highest deity in common: the god of the mountains.
Therefore, the students all claim to be the descendants of the mountain god, and they are extremely devout to the mountain god.
The so-called sacred mountain, the security team has been there. A few months ago, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning carried out a beheading operation, and a tribal assembly would be held on the sacred mountain, preparing to unite the patriarchs of the Han people on the other side.
In that decapitation operation, seven or eight hundred people were killed. As a result, the upper echelons and elites of the tribes were wiped out, and the plan of the "Hundred Tribes Alliance" was completely bankrupt. Until now, although the various clans have elected new chiefs and leaders, they have not relented.
If they knew that the Han people occupied the mountain temple on the sacred mountain, they had only one choice: to submit.
Anyway, it's just some dry wood, just for the Han people.
They did not even dare to join forces to attack. Because they threw rats and were afraid of the Han people who occupied the sacred mountain, they would destroy the temple.
"Madame's strategy, it's really a conspiracy, extremely clever! The subordinates thought that it would work! Lin Biju first agreed.
Others agreed, and their hearts were full of admiration.
"Okay, without further ado. Hugu, you will lead a group of security guards tomorrow and occupy that sacred mountain first. Then Zeng Du spread the news through the life of taking refuge in us. Tell Shengfan that as long as the Yin dry material is sent down the mountain, the quantity is enough, we will immediately withdraw our troops and return the sacred mountain to them. Cui Xiuning ordered.
"No!" Tiger Gu commanded.
Cui Xiu advised: "Don't attack Shengfan Cottage, just occupy the sacred mountain and defend it." And do not destroy the Alpine Temple, unless they do not agree to our conditions. This time, we're going to let Shengban obediently send the wood down the mountain. ”
In order to prevent other tribes from attacking, the Shengfan tribe has built a solid wooden wall, and it is not easy to attack. But the sacred mountain is different, because it belongs to a common god, but there is no fortification, and the soldiers and horses can directly occupy it when they enter it.
After talking about this matter, Cui Xiuning talked about the second big thing.
"The owner has an order. Now there are nearly 100,000 immigrants, and the name is not justified in corporate governance, so it was decided to set up a county. ”
As soon as Cui Xiuning's words came out, everyone suddenly became excited.
The county has been established!
This means that they will later be real officials. As more and more immigrants become more and more in the future, maybe they will have to build a government, or even... Founding!
Thinking of this, Lin Biju and other civil officials felt more hopeful.
Hu Gu and other generals of the security regiment couldn't help but laugh in their hearts when they saw the excitement of Lin Biju and other civilian officials. What is a county? I am afraid that you do not know the true ambition of the lord.
Cui Xiuning's crisp and beautiful voice resounded throughout the main hall.
"From today onwards, Luoning County will be established in the resettlement area. Ten townships are set up under the county, and ten villages are set up in the countryside. The county has a county order, the township has a township head, and the village has a village head. ”
"In Dazhangshu Village, Luoning City was built. The length and width of the new city are three miles, and the city wall is two feet high. New towns can be built by new immigrants in exchange for food. ”
"Appoint Lin Biju, the manager of Haidong Company, as the commander of Luoning County, with a two-inch copper seal."
"Appoint Gong Kan, the supervisor of Haidong Company, as the supervisor of Luoning, with a two-inch copper seal."
"Appointed Cui Mu as the Cheng of Luoning County, with a one-inch copper seal. Appointed Mei Quanlu as the chief secretary of Luoning, Cui Xian as the county lieutenant, and the one-inch copper seal ......"
"In all the following places of the original company, the chief officer and name remain unchanged, and one inch copper seal is awarded."
"In addition to the police hall, the three halls are under the jurisdiction of the county government, and the law hall and the inspection hall are not subject to the control of the county government.
"Officials at all levels, for the time being, will not be awarded grades, and they are all agents."
After Cui Xiuning finished saying this, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Biju, "The meaning of the owner is all on this piece of paper, just promulgate it directly." ”
Lin Biju took it a little excitedly. From today on, he is the county magistrate.
Almost everyone was happy. Including Cui Mu and Cui Xian. One of them became a county magistrate, and the other became a county lieutenant, and they all can be regarded as officials.
The only one who is lost is the original deputy manager of the company, Mei Quanlu.
Mei Quanlu was one of the village chiefs in the first batch of immigrants, and had been competing with Lin Biju for the role of the immigrant storyteller. After Li Luo came to Haidong, he also expressed his obedience to Li Luo.
But now, he, the former deputy manager, didn't even get a county, and he became the fourth-ranked chief bookkeeper.
And the county that originally belonged to him was suddenly lowered by Cui Mu. And Cui Xian also got the county lieutenant.
These two brothers are Madame's clansmen, right? They have not made an inch of contribution to Haidong, and they have just arrived, hairy boy, what qualifications do they have to be the county lieutenant?
Just because they are the wife's own family?
How unreasonable!
Hmph, after all, Mrs. is a woman, and she is crony. This Haidong, it seems that this is the case.
Mei Quanlu was full of resentment at this time, and even Cui Xiuning hated it.
Originally, Lin Biju was very unconvinced when he was the manager, and felt that Li Luo was biased. It's just that Li Luo and his wife have too high prestige and hold military power, so he has to admit the reality.
But this time, a newly arrived Cui Mu took the position of the county leader, which suddenly made him unable to bear it anymore.
Mei Quanlu is a very power-loving person, and when he was the village chief, he stared at the location of the township. Now that his career is lost, he is naturally full of resentment.
Cui Xiuning's eyes are so keen, how could she not find Mei Quanlu's abnormality? Although Mei Quanlu was still smiling on his face, his eyes were a little gloomy. It's unnatural.
Cui Xiuning sneered in her heart. This Mei Quanlu official is obsessed, and he is full of power and forgets his identity. Did he think he didn't know what he had said or done?
The spies of the Haidong Branch reported more than once that Mei Quanlu was jealous of Lin Biju and said a lot of bad things about Lin Biju behind his back. In the company, he also likes to form gangs and sow discord.
Such a person, giving him a position in the main book, has already seen that he is the old man of Haidong.
But now, it seems that he is very unwilling.
Okay, let's see how this person jumps.
She used the Cui brothers, of course, because of blood relationship. But the Cui brothers are indeed very talented.
What's more, the Cui brothers are more reliable and loyal to Li Luo.
Cui Xiuning didn't consider Mei Quanlu for the time being, and talked about the third major event.
This time it's about the military.
"Change the head of the regiment to the head of the regiment."
"The main thing is to recruit 5,000 recruits from among the new immigrants. These 5,000 recruits must complete their recruit training in June next year. In addition, 2,000 cavalry were formed, and Wanyan Hugu was appointed as the commander of the cavalry, and Zhu Hao was appointed as the cavalry supervisor. Among the entire Haidong military and civilians, select people who are good at riding and archery. ”
"Then add the third security regiment and the fourth security regiment, with Jiang Jun and Yang Qingque as the regiment commanders. The regimental soldiers are mainly the rebels to which they belong, and then the number of new recruits reaches 1,000. ”
"After the recruits are recruited, all of them are transferred to the first and second regiments of the security regiment, and the veterans are trained as the recruits. Jiang Jun and Yang Qingque's rebels must also train the queue in accordance with the regulations......"
According to the regulations discussed with Li Luo before, Cui Xiuning explained the military arrangements as they were. And asked for implementation to begin tomorrow.
Within three days, when the new immigrants have settled down, the recruitment of new recruits will begin.
The fourth thing is also the first major civil affairs event since Luoning was established as a county.
Buying food from old immigrants and supplying new immigrants. Then organize new immigrants to build houses, open up wasteland, and build cities.
However, Lin Biju pointed out that although the people had a bumper harvest this year and each household had enough land, there were only more than 10,000 old immigrants, and at most they could only buy 20,000 stone of surplus grain.
But more than 80,000 new immigrants came at once, and 20,000 stone of grain, how could they be enough to eat?
Although Haidong crops three times a year, the new immigrants will not be able to produce grain until at least June next year. In this half a year, at least 100,000 stone of grain is needed.
Then you can only buy grain outside Haidong.
Cui Xiuning immediately decided that Haidong Luoning Trading Company would go to Jiangnan to buy grain in batches to relieve the grain pressure.
So much food, and it will cost more than 100,000 taels of silver!
Calculated that for this batch of new immigrants, Li Luo and her would spend 500,000 taels of silver.
Before, for the sake of the old immigrants, the tens of thousands of taels of silver that the two of them got through the military map have been spent. The silver and copper coins circulating in Haidong now are the money scattered by the two of them.
Compared with Li Luo Cui Xiuning, what are the philanthropists of later generations? It's wool.
…………
In the early morning of the same night, Hugu quietly left Luoning County with a group of security guards and entered the mountain, preparing to occupy the sacred mountain of Shengfan.
And the new immigrants are organized to let them visit the fields and houses of the old immigrants.
The residential areas of the old immigrants have been planned by Li Luo and Cui Xiuning, and the villages are neat, clean and vibrant. Due to this year's bumper harvest, the taxes are light, and the fields are abundant, and every family has a large amount of surplus grain.
When there is surplus food at home, it is natural to rejoice and nourish. The spirit of this people is completely different. In addition, they have never been oppressed again, and there are warriors in the security corps to protect the peace, and the sergeants in the police hall to maintain law and order, so they have never been rich and peaceful.
The newcomers saw the old immigrants' world, their houses, and their ruddy faces, smelled the smell of food in their houses, and saw the women of the family talking and laughing and weaving in the sun...... The newcomers are envious.
Even the dogs, chickens and ducks raised by the old immigrants, and the cattle grazing leisurely under the trees, all made the new immigrants feel very impressed.
An old man who was almost old said to a new immigrant next to him: "I have lived this age, and I haven't seen this people live so well." ”
Another old man said: "What Lao Lu said is good, I haven't seen it before." Li Daguan and Mrs. Li are right, isn't this a paradise? ”
"I heard that the people have some security corps to protect against the wild life in the mountains. There are also black-robed sergeants in the police hall, who specialize in maintaining law and order in villages and towns, and the villages are not closed! ”
"Yes, that's the case, I've asked too. There are a lot of soldiers and horses and sergeants here, but do you know how much tax is paid? Saying it scares you to death! ”
"How much?"
"Only 20 percent! There are no exorbitant taxes. Whether it is collecting grain or collecting cocoons, the government only takes 20%, and the remaining 80% is all its own! ”
"They have a lot of fields. I have asked a few families, and every family has dozens of acres of land, paddy fields and dry land. The taxes are low, and the wages are paid for the labor, so how can life be bad? ”
"Oh, that's the life of a man! We used to... It's not as good as a beggar. ”
"Let me tell you, do you think they came early? Hmph, they're here this year too, how long has it been? It's like a person. ”
"Don't worry, Senior Official Li and Mrs. Li will definitely treat them equally. Haven't you heard that you want to give us food to eat, and let us build our own houses and open up wasteland, and whoever opens it will be who's own. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, can this still be fake?"
…………
Under the willow tree outside the courtyard of a family, a man wearing leg shackles sits. He was also guarded by a few villagers with knives.
This person is none other than Shen Peanhua.
A few villages walked down, and Shen Huahua didn't believe his eyes at first. After watching and listening a lot, he became more and more silent.
He finally understood.
Li Luo, the town guard official of Ninghai Prefecture, is not a despicable and greedy dog official at all. Mrs. Li is not a vicious woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion.
Here, it really is a paradise. Shen Huahua doesn't know how good the paradise is, but compared to the rule of Meng Yuan, this is the paradise.
No oppression, no thieves, orderly, worry-free food and clothing, male farming and female weaving, green mountains and green waters... What is not a paradise?
Otherwise, why would there be immortal tablets of Li Luo and Cui Xiuning in the old immigrant family?
The old immigrants said that it was Mr. Li and his wife who saved their lives, avenged them, and allowed them to live a good life.
It turned out that what Li Luo said was true. He didn't sell everyone into slavery.
It's himself, it's him, it's him!
Thinking that Li Luo, as a Daru Huachi in Mengyuan Prefecture, did an earth-shattering move, played with the entire state officials in the palm of his hand, and sent so many Central Plains refugees overseas, Shen Huahua was extremely admired.
That's a lot of money. Amazing, this Li Guanren is really amazing.
As for what Li Luo wants to do, where else does Shen Huahua not understand?
"This Li Guanren is just afraid that he is not a Korean. Hehe, it's so calculated. ”
Shen Huahua suddenly burst out laughing, and his voice was extremely cheerful.
"Brothers, take the trouble to inform Mrs. Li, and say, I want to ask Mrs. for guilt!"
Shen Huahua said to the sergeant who was guarding him.
