The man in front of him didn't speak like an ordinary villager, and Liu Ximing leaned on his horse and looked at him with interest.

"What's your name? How do you know that I can feed you, there are thousands of people here, and the landlord's family has no surplus food. ”

The man heard that there was no refusal in Liu Xi's words, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times.

"Little Jiang Zhuang, the eldest man was wearing a red official uniform just now, at first glance he is not an ordinary person, so many of us are willing to stutter, and the little one wants to take the villagers to find a way to live."

"Hahaha", Liu Ximing almost didn't laugh when he heard this name, what a special award.

"Get up and talk", he waved his hand at Jiang Zhuang, "Since you are fellow villagers, then I will make it clear to you, the lord, it is easy for these people to support themselves, but from now on, you will be the master of my family." ”

"If there are two hearts, it is not such a simple thing as expulsion." , Liu Ximing pointed at his personal guard group and made a vicious expression.

"The upper knife mountain and the lower sea of fire are all light."

Jiang Zhuang had just gotten up, and immediately knelt down with a group of people.

"I am a member of the master's family in life, and the ghost of the master's family is dead, and those who dare to have two hearts, let alone the master, even we can't let him go."

Liu Ximing nodded slightly, after all, he has no foundation in Henan and Huguang, so he has to be careful about these things.

With these people, it is much easier to manage the previous 8,000 people.

After letting Jiang Zhuang take the lead and finding more than a dozen Nanyang people who had studied for two years as supervisors, the pressure on the shoulders of the pro-guard regiment was suddenly greatly reduced.

After arranging a simple meal, a group of thousands of people marched towards Xiangyang Mansion again.

Fortunately, Liu Ximing was cautious and did not stay in Nanyang for long, and three days later, the conversation between him and Tang King Zhu Yujian was sent to Chongzhen's desk.

It's not that Liu Ximing is important, it's really that the old Zhu family is not at ease with their own people, and every palace has spies from Jinyiwei.

"Emperor, the secret fold of the Tang Palace's mansion has been sent."

Cao Huachun is still the same as before, holding the fold and bowing his hands.

Chongzhen had an impatient expression on his face, "What did King Tang do, he was the most capable of tossing among the clans, and he should not have been allowed to attack the lord if he knew it." ”

Cao Huachun also had a deeply approving expression, but he didn't dare to speak, where is the family affairs of the Son of Heaven where the minions dare to put their beaks.

Chongzhen vented so much before he picked up the fold and looked at it, and Shao Tian directly slammed the document on top of the imperial case.

"There is no king, no father, lawlessness, the court has its own law, the clan is not allowed to leave the city for no reason, how dare he go to war with soldiers and horses, what do you do to eat."

Chongzhen's roaring voice resounded in the Qianqing Palace, and the inner prison palace maids standing on the side all knelt on the ground and trembled, for fear that this master would be angry with himself and others.

Cao Huachun

Hurriedly trotted to the back of the case to help Chongzhen pat his back, so as not to let him get angry.

Chongzhen relieved himself and scolded angrily: "Even a member of the family can see it clearly than him, his evil obstacle is not troublesome, he is saving my worries, and he only says anything all day for the sake of the country, and it is not his turn to take care of it in this world." ”

"The emperor is angry", Cao Huachun kept breathing, "This Liu Xiucai can see clearly, everyone in the world can see clearly, there are many national affairs at the moment, and it is really not appropriate to make a big move against the clan." ”

"Bang"

Chongzhen slapped heavily on the imperial case, his face distorted a little by anger.

It took him a long time to gradually calm down, as Cao Huachun, a minion, said, now is not the time to do anything to the clan.

"Deliver a decree, reprimand the Tang King, fine him for half a year, order the removal of the Tang Wangfu Governor, and send Dali Temple to ask for guilt."

"The old slave is going to do this."

"As for this Liu Ximing", Chongzhen's ugly face actually showed a smile, "It's rare to be a smart person, let's see how he is doing in the township test this year." ”

On February 21, Liu Ximing and others finally entered Junzhou, Sanzhou, the northernmost part of Xiangyang Prefecture.

Here, the people sent by Tang Xiuyuan had been waiting for many days with more than 100 administrative personnel sent by Liujia Village.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments of the 3rd Battalion of Longxiang had already left north at this time to go to Shaanxi to help Su Jin establish the Tuntian base, and this time it was the 3rd Battalion, the 4th Regiment, and the 5th Regiment that came over.

I have to say that it is indeed much more convenient to get from Sichuan to Huguang than to Shaanxi, at least there is a waterway to pass.

But after coming out like this, Liu Ximing also has a deeper understanding of Sichuan, no wonder Shu can often only be divided by one side, because the transportation is too difficult.

"Liu Gongzi, before I came, the master had already instructed, let me wait to do it one by one according to the requirements of the son, the previous group of homeless people have been placed in the front of Wangjiaao, my family has 5,000 acres of mountainous land there, this time it will be transferred to the son."

The person arranged by Tang Xiuyuan was the same Steward Zhu that Liu Ximing had met many times before, and this person did have some ability, not only arranged the affairs of the displaced people, but also arranged the land needed to build the village.

"Thank you Steward Zhu, I don't know where Uncle Tang Shi is now, I still plan to visit after this matter."

Steward Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Ximing, and it was okay if the main owner came to his own business, as for the thousands of people behind Liu Ximing who were helping the weak and weak, he just couldn't see it.

"My master is in Wuchang Mansion, and Liu Gongzi is busy with the little one here."

Hearing that Tang Xiuyuan was still in Wuchang Mansion, Liu Ximing was overjoyed, as for the land he sent, it would be a big deal to convert it from the payment for the fine weaving, and the affairs of the rich were so simple, rough and boring.

The location in Junzhou was Liu Ximing's decision after careful consideration, on the one hand, it was more than 100 miles away from Neixiang County, which was convenient for the transfer of the 8,000 prisoners before.

And this

The side is close to Funiu Mountain, and the crossing of so many people will not be too noticeable.

On the other hand, the Han River meanders from Hanzhong, that is, it first passes through Ankang and Xunyang, and then goes east along Junzhou and Xiangyang.

The Liu family has also set up a stronghold in Hanzhong, and the transportation will be convenient in the future.

What's more, when Liu Ximing was looking for a location on the map, he found that the downstream of Junzhou was Gucheng County, and he remembered that Zhang Xianzhong was later recruited here.

Although the future is not set in stone, since there is such a clue, Liu Ximing is naturally willing to try it, if this guy is still here, can he do something.

Wangjiaao is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and if it is placed in modern times, it is designated as a good place for summer vacation.

But today, what is shown in front of Liu Ximing is just a small village in the middle of nowhere.

"Grass, why is this still called a mountain?"

Aside from Steward Zhu, Liu Ximing couldn't help but sigh when he came to Wangjiaao with more than 6,000 people.

What Gaine met in Liu Ximing's eyes was a piece of land along the river, and behind the village was indeed a mountain, but there were only a few square kilometers along the river.

Wei Jingguo, who was in charge of the preliminary arrangement, had a difficult expression.

"Second brother, we brought the people here, but how to settle this depends on your orders."

Liu Ximing smiled bitterly, "Settle down first, respect the country, you come and lead the way, let's go to the mountains to have a look." ”

Looking down from the small hillside behind Wangjiaao, the Hanshui passes in front of Wangjiaao, and a road extends from the north and south to connect Junzhou and Guanghua County.

Fortunately, Wangjiaao is not the main road to Junzhou, otherwise Liu Ximing would have to consider changing places.

In the next few years, the thieves were all wandering in Shaanxi, Huguang, Henan, and Sichuan, and the Ankang and Xunyang areas were like opening hotels.

Today's exiles are gone, and tomorrow's officials and soldiers are coming, and there will be no day of peace.

According to this line of thinking, Liu Ximing thought about the overall strategy of building the village while observing the landform.

The administrative staff sent by Liujiacun this time is mainly Liang Yizhi, deputy assistant of the farmhouse, who has been in charge of the farmhouse work for more than a year, and all the work has been carried out very well.

The management of Liujia Village, including Liu Ximing, is more satisfied with him, but this person has always held on to the identity of a scholar, and he has always been a little unable to pull his face and deal with the and urine in the village every day.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to build a village in Xiangyang, he took the initiative to invite Ying to return to Huguang to carry out work, and Liujiacun also pushed him out after Feige asked Liu Ximing's opinion.

However, Liu Ximing emphasized again in the letter that the work of the farmhouse must not be relaxed, and I don't know if this guy has arranged it.

Thinking of this, Liu Ximing looked at Liang Yizhi who was standing aside, waved at him and called him over.
