CHAPTER XXXVI
As soon as I thought of this, almost all of them were enthusiastic, and the desire for land of the farming people was incomprehensible to the fishing and hunting civilization or the nomadic civilization, and it was tens of millions of miles away from the scientific and technological industrial civilization of later generations.
In this era, there are acres of land deed more attractive than gold and silver treasures, the land deed acres can be passed on to future generations, from generation to generation to keep the descendants from worry about food and clothing, the upper can comfort the ancestors, the next can be admired and respected by the descendants, even after a few generations, the descendants have to point to the portrait of the god card when they are incense, and say: Our family's acres of land are placed down by this ancestor!
Thinking of such a scene, there are really few people who can maintain their composure.
"You donkeys and horses shoot bastards, dogs and bastards......" Han Sen scolded not far away, "Just think about the good, don't you think about the bad?" With Yang Shida here, how to sell the salt, now that the grain is about to run out, we will definitely be robbed of the silver money and grain, and the people will either be beaten or kidnapped. Now Huai'an Mansion is in chaos, even if the deputy thousand households go to the city, no one cares about our life or death, just thinking about good things, he should think about how to pass this level. ”
Han Sen has a cold-faced and smelly mouth evaluation, this chief flag officer is so annoying in Pingsu.
But this time, after listening to Han Sen's words, everyone fell silent.
There was a faint uneasiness in everyone's eyes, in the morning the news that the second girl of the Wang family came to report had spread, and Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa and others from the 300th household were arrested, and they would inevitably be severely beaten, and if they didn't get it right, they would lose their lives.
Wang Sanyi is a hundred households, and it is a disaster of pond fish, it is estimated that the matter is not big, and he may be released after being locked up for a few days. The Wang family's dissatisfaction should be Wang Sanyi's insult, and the other is the loss of food robbery, the Wang family's eldest man is a talented man, since he went to Huai'an Mansion to control the city, it is estimated that the government will have a response?
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
If it was really as stiff as Han Sen said, what was the point of spending a few hundred taels of silver to get this salt pool? Isn't it that someone has choked the neck, can't move, can't breathe?
Han Sen continued: "I'll go to Suocheng now, and see Li Qianhu and Min Deputy Qianhu, a salt lord openly arresting the banner army of the military household guard, and the boss must give an explanation!" ”
The family members of Min Yuanjin and others were also there, and everyone listened to Han Sen's words and hurriedly said, "Everything depends on Han Zongqi." ”
Han Sen nodded, and calmly walked to the side of the salt pan, he had already prepared, and the donkeys were ready.
When he was about to leave, Han Sen suddenly turned around, hugged his fist at Min Yuanqi, and said, "Lord Baihu, if it is feasible to do it like this, please show me." ”
Min Yuanqi nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Fucheng, you don't know much now, I'm afraid it's useless for the Wang family to go." As for our Qianhu adults, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on, can he offend the Yang brothers for a few small flags and flag troops? Even if he is in his early thousands, Yang Shida is afraid that he will not pay attention to it, and now the situation is very different from before. However, it's not a bad thing for you to go, go for it. ”
Han Sen still had an obvious look of perseverance between his eyebrows, this person's personality was quite stubborn, and the right thing was that the nine cows couldn't pull it back.
The difference this time is that Han Sen stood up and asked Min Yuanqi, this change is quite obvious, if it was half a month ago, Han Sen would have left directly, he was the general banner, although Min Yuanqi would definitely take over a hundred households, but now there is still a "trial" word, the authority is not great, Han Sen was already in charge of going north before this, it is simply a de facto hundred households, the difference between the two official positions is only because of the different inheritances of the hereditary position, Han Sen is not satisfied with Min Yuanqi at all.
Half a month ago, if someone told Han Sen that he would meet Min Yuanqi in advance, this black-faced man was afraid that he would raise his head and laugh for a long time, and then scold.
Now, Han Sen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with asking for instructions, and the banner soldiers around him didn't think there was anything wrong with asking Min Yuanqi for instructions.
Han Sen left quickly, and also took away a lot of hope of the flag army, everyone still hopes that this matter can be solved smoothly in the official face, with this big salt pond in front of them, everyone hopes to restore a peaceful and stable life as soon as possible, and then they will work hard every day, even if they work from morning to night, as long as they can earn more money, any hard work is not a problem.
There are also many people who look at Min Yuanqi, but most of them are hesitant and hesitant, what is the charter of the hundred households, what are their ideas, and how to break the situation?
For the time being, no one wants to know, and I don't know what Min Yuanqi's thoughts and practices are.
For the time being, people are pinning their hopes on Wang Sanyi's eldest son Wang Mingyuan, this is not an ordinary person, not only has a hundred households, but also has the identity of Xiucai Xianggong, next year is the township test year, and the year after next is the test year, no one can say whether the little Wang Xianggong can go up even faster.
Even now that the generals are becoming more and more unruly, the idea that civilian officials are superior to martial artists is still deep-rooted. Especially in the area from Jianghuai to the south of the Yangtze River, the literary style is prosperous, the energy of the show is great, and the right to speak is also great, here is not the war and the people's strong customs in the northwest and Shandong of Henan, mainly Huai'an, Yangzhou to the south of the Yangtze River has not been affected by the war at all, so it still maintains the inheritance and old atmosphere accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years...... People still believe in the power of the government, and give a lot of trust and hope to Wang Mingyuan's talent status.
Min Yuanqi didn't plan to say much, his heart was much clearer than the people in front of him, and it was in vain, but it was better to ask them to touch the wall first.
Min Yuanqi walked to Liu De and the Li family, the Zhang family, the Shen family brothers and others, and a group of craftsmen were originally squatting to rest, but they quickly stood up at this time.
"There's no big work to do for the time being." Min Yuanqi said: "The craftsmen of the households will be dismissed after a while, what do you think, if you don't want to stay, you will go back to the city of Qianhu, if you think this is good, you will stay first, if you solve the matter of Yang Shida, you will continue to repair the salt pond in the future, then there will be no need for the craftsmen of the households, and you will take the lead with the flag army." At that time, if there is money and food, in addition to four liters of food a day, you can be paid again, and at this time, each family still receives four liters of food a day, even if there is nothing to do...... I can't promise you too much now, the trouble has not yet been resolved, it is useless to talk too much, to stay or not to stay, you will talk to me after you have discussed it yourself. ”
Min Yuanqi naturally hopes that these craftsmen can stay, whether it is stone, wood, clay or blacksmith, these people have special skills, and it is difficult to say what he needs them to do in the future.
In the case of blacksmiths, if the level is sufficient, if you bring a group of apprentices and build enough weapons and armor, the strength of the entire hundred households can go up.
It's not that you can't buy it, there are blacksmiths in many market towns, from farm tools to weapons, but military blacksmiths have the inheritance of creating weapons and armor, this thing is not made at will, and the blacksmiths may not be good at it, and Min Yuanqi knows that the Jianghuai area will soon be in chaos, and he has craftsmen in his hands, which is much stronger than holding silver and not being able to buy things everywhere!
"I'm waiting to thank Lord Hyakhe......"
Liu De and others were quite surprised and a little moved.
The project here is finished for the time being, and the next step is indeed to wait, one is to wait for the salt pond to produce salt, and the other is that Yang Shida's matter is not solved, and the grain cannot come in, and the salt cannot be released, even if the salt pond is silver, it is in vain.
They were originally anxious, and the craftsmen were already waiting to settle the money and leave, but they were at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
At this moment, this young trial hundred households were concerned about their next plan, and gave quite generous conditions.
Liu De and the others agreed as soon as possible, and went back to the city of thousands of households to continue to be bullied and squeezed? There are only four buckets of grain every month, sometimes four buckets are insufficient, and they are mixed with sundries such as sand and stones, and they have to be deducted and squeezed by the military attache in charge of the craftsman's household.
There will be no one in the city who will come to ask for people, but the Min family is deeply rooted in Dahewei, a little thing is not worth taking seriously, there are at least dozens of craftsmen in the city, and now there is no need to hand in weapons, armor, bows and arrows and other utensils, and there are no big projects to build, what is the use of so many craftsmen? Min Yuanqi wants someone here, just give it, and no one will be more serious.
After four o'clock, the three large pools are filled with seawater, after precipitation, the sea water is calm, the big salt pond in front of you is like an ordinary pond, the breeze is light and the blue waves are rippling, but there is no life, not only there are no fish and shrimp, even the silt and aquatic plants are completely gone.
At this time, the crowd was almost dispersed, and only a small banner soldier guarded here with spears and knives as previously ordered.
The salt pond was built with a lot of money and time, and it was the hope of the entire hundred households, and if it was secretly destroyed by outsiders in the middle of the night, it would be really impossible to find the grave after crying.
Not only is there a small flag guarded by the flag army, but also gongs and drums and other objects are placed, and once there is a police, it will be quickly sounded, and the men of the entire village will rush out to rescue as soon as possible.
This is Min Yuanqi's rule, and when he left, fortunately, everything was in order.
The people's hearts were a little scattered and uneasy, but they still maintained their due order.
This is also Min Yuanqi's recent gain, and invisibly, his prestige has also risen a lot.
……
Before dark, most of the people, except for the garrison, slowly returned to the village.
The weather is getting warmer, and there is obviously greenery in the wasteland by the roadside, and some willow trees are planted at the east end of the village near the sea, and the budding has begun at this time.
After today, there will be no big pot of rice, in fact, if there is no follow-up project, the supply of three meals a day for the flag army and their families will be completely stopped.
Many people are worried and can't open their eyebrows.
Min Yuanqi left early in the afternoon and returned to the official hall of the hundred households.
General Banner Han Sen and Xiaoqi Yang Zhijin, Gao Cuncheng and others went to the Thousand Households City together, and many people looked in the direction of the city, hoping that the Lord of the General Banner could bring back good news.
On the way back to the village, the people received the first bad news.
In fact, the party was in the 300th household, Wang Mingyuan got off the boat from the dock and was directly put on the 300th household.
There were two people in Wang Baihu's family who followed the prime minister to Fucheng, a middle-aged axle man, the blood between his nose had not been wiped clean, and he was beaten lightly.
The other is an old family servant in his fifties, and people may see that this person has white eyebrows, so he didn't do anything ruthlessly.
