Chapter 122 My words are finished, who is for and who is against
Yang Xin, who had obtained the Wanli Holy Decree, immediately returned to Shandong as quickly as possible, and then selected among the Wenxiang disciples who surrendered......
Pick the strongest one, of course.
Anyway, he has a holy purpose, and no one dares to fight with him for anything, and these people don't bring their families, which is what Wang Zaijin strongly demands, if the families of these people are counted, then these counties are basically empty, no one is a tenant, and those local tyrants and inferior gentry go to farm the land by themselves!
In total, he can take it away, but his family can't move.
Fortunately, Yang Xin didn't want it either.
However, he still paid two taels of silver to each of these people's families, and he didn't have any more, anyway, they stayed as tenants to farm the land, so that they would not be unable to make ends meet, and the two taels of silver would at least be enough to subsidize them this year. And these people actually have money, they have more or less robbed some during this time, and even the gold and silver in the hands of Xu Hongru and others were divided by Yang Xin before leaving the city.
By the time they are on track next year, they will be able to support their families on their own.
He was hired to these people.
In the end, it took him ten days to gather 10,000 troops for his Dangkou army, and then loaded the boats that were constantly heading north after the opening of the river, and when he arrived at Tangguantun with this large army, it was already April.
Then Yang Xin followed the direction of the original historical Machang River, and from here he began to choose those wastelands that no one had cultivated, and quickly established twenty military camps with 500 people. At the same time as the camp was built, people were assigned to reclaim the wasteland, and the degree of salinization in this area was light, and the reclamation directly divided the land transported by Xu Guangqi's family to raise seedlings at the same time. Because there is no need for heated seedbeds as the climate warms, these sweet potatoes can be directly lined up in the reclaimed fields to raise seedlings, and then planted when more wasteland is reclaimed.
At most, winter wheat does not need to be planted.
Because these sweet potatoes are planted late, the late harvest will definitely delay the planting of winter wheat.
Fortunately, these lands were not good in the first place, and if they were good land, it would not have been possible until now that no one had planted them.
During this period, Yang Xin could only pay for the food of those soldiers, including the farm tools they bought, the barracks they built, and even the clothes they bought, all of which Yang Xin paid for himself, and his silver was spent like flowing water.
Wealth has thus diminished dramatically.
In short, by the beginning of June of this year, 20 military camps were established, and the sweet potatoes on the surrounding wasteland were also planted, and these 10,000 people were initially resettled, and his 20th battalion was stationed in Xincheng, which was also the location of his military headquarters. Of course, there is no city at this time, to be precise, it is just a small wharf called Luyu Port, these two words mean the original meaning, reeds and fish, anyway, just a few fishermen, even fresh water can't be eaten, including Yang Xin himself can only drink a little salty water.
On the contrary, the fishing business is going well.
He directly got four row-row centipede boats from the sailor battalion next door, then installed the trusses himself, and soon began to sweep the mouth of Dagu with a large trawl net that had been customized a long time ago.
As for the local fishermen......
Hire.
As for the fishing tyrant......
In the middle of the night, he fell into the Haihe River and was bitten to death by a shark swimming upstream.
What, there are no sharks in Dagukou?
It must have been a little bigger.
In short, in this kind of poor countryside where it can be said that the emperor is far away, all those who dare to confront Yang Tongzhi fall into the water, and the same is true for those rich stoves who protest that he occupies the grassland, and they all accidentally fall into the water.
Anyway, they are not afraid of their families suing.
He is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, wearing a flying fish suit, not to mention Jinghai County, even Tianjin Bingbei Road can't be managed, unless you go to the capital to beat the Dengwen drum, there is indeed a go, but before Gegu can overturn, in the end, no one dies or a corpse. Who is Yang Tongzhi? He didn't have much legal awareness in his head, and he wouldn't hesitate to let anyone who needed to be overboard.
Simple.
Brusque.
Effective.
"I'm the most reasonable!"
Yang Xin stood on the Haihe River at high tide and said as he looked at the turbulent waves under his feet.
Next to him are several gentry from Qingxian and the eastern side of Jinghai, and his reclamation area is lined up from Qingxian to this along the direction of the Machang River, and the land involves Qingxian and Jinghai, although this area is not a good place, but there are also residents and gentry. Either the landlord or the salt field rich stove, especially the latter is the most, because this area was originally the Changlu salt area, and the rich stove in the stove households has long been gentrified, but the excavation and reclamation of the river will definitely touch their interests.
This issue needs to be addressed.
These guys, who already knew Yang Xin's notoriety, cautiously looked at the waves under their feet as well.
They were actually standing on a wooden trestle bridge that stretched into the Haihe River, and the shallows at low tide had been completely submerged by the tide, and a large number of soldiers were filling water in wooden barrels and carrying it back to the barracks, because of the weight difference between fresh water and salt water, the upper layer was actually fresh water, and the lower layer was the real sea water.
Of course, it's not really freshwater either.
It's just drinkable.
The saline-alkali areas on both sides of the Haihe River are draught like this.
"If you are willing to be friends with me, I will treat him as a friend, I am righteous and angry with friends, and I share the blessings and hardships, but those who are not willing to be friends with me, I don't need to tell him any friendship, Liu Lao, I heard that you went to Zuo Guangdou to shout grievances, saying that I occupied your grassland? In fact, you have so much grassland, I only occupy a small piece, I am also doing things for Your Majesty, this river is dug well and it is also good for the place, you are not enough friends. ”
He went on to say.
"Yang, Yang Tongzhi, there is no such thing!"
Liu Lao, who was forcibly invited from home next to him, wiped his cold sweat and said.
"Then why did Zuo Guangdou play and impeach me because of this? He said that it was you who reported it, don't think that I don't know, I also have friends in the celebrant eunuch, speaking of which, our Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and we as subjects must ensure Your Majesty's rest. Such a trivial matter still disturbs Your Majesty, you can be said to be disloyal, I am loyal, do you know what I do if I dare to be disloyal to Your Majesty? ”
Yang Xin said.
The next moment, before Liu Lao could wake up, he suddenly pushed behind him, and Liu Lao was caught off guard and immediately moved forward......
"Ahh
He screamed in horror.
Then he stepped on the outside of the trestle and fell directly towards the angry waves below, but at the same time, Yang Xin grabbed him by the back and pulled him who fell out halfway, and the unlucky Liu Lao stepped on the trestle with half his foot, and his whole body was leaning on the sea, struggling and screaming like crazy, looking at the waves less than a meter below, the splashing waves could even splash on his clothes.
Then Yang Xin finally pulled him back.
Liu Lao suddenly collapsed on the ground, let out a long breath, and immediately hugged Yang Xin's legs......
"Yang Tongzhi, that Zuo Guangdou is a rumor, he deliberately framed you, Xiao Lao'er has never done anything to be sorry for you, Xiao Lao'er will let my son beat the Dengwen drum to report him!"
He said with a handful of snot and tears.
"Forget it, this matter is over, I said very clearly, as subjects, we must focus on Your Majesty's dragon body, no matter what happens, you can come to me to talk, but you can't disturb Your Majesty's rest! Zuo Guangdou These people are not sensible, we can't be ignorant, if there is such a thing in the future, don't blame me for not being emotional! ”
Yang Xin said with a calm face.
Then he turned his head to look at the silent gentry behind him......
"When I'm done, which of you is for and against?"
He said.
"Brother Yang!"
Suddenly, a familiar shout was heard in the distance.
Yang Xin raised his head and saw Xu Xianchun and Liu Shimin on the shore.
He hurried over, and the gentry behind him let out a sigh of relief, and then followed with a smile on his face.
"Gonggong Liu, the prison army sent by the Long Live Lord can't be you, right?"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
Although Wanli said that he would send a supervising army, there has been no movement.
"I wanted to come, but Eunuch Lu won't let go, brother, I'm here to deliver a decree."
Liu Shimin said.
Then he put on a serious expression.
"The holy decree has arrived, the Jinyi guard commands Tongzhi, and Yang Xin, the commander of the Dangkou army, receives the order!"
He shouted.
Yang Xin hurriedly accepted the order, and the gentry behind him were so frightened that they immediately lay down.
The content of Wanli's holy decree is very simple, Xiong Tingbi is ready to rebuild Kaiyuan City, according to the previous agreement, the military transportation of the Kaiyuan garrison is directly handed over to Yang Xin to be responsible, he is going to do what he wants to do to discuss with Xiong Tingbi, but Wanli should be a conscience discovery, and he feels that Yang Xin has paid too much money during this time, so he gave him a reward of 10,000 taels of silver.
As for the impeachment of Zuo Guangdou......
That Wanli definitely can't see it, and it's too lazy to look at it.
His Majesty the Emperor is actually seriously ill, and such a trivial matter will not be taken care of at all.
"Please Gonggong Liu to play Your Majesty, Yang will go to Liaodong!"
Yang Xin said.
Then he turned his head to look at the gentry behind him......
"Everyone, Yang is going to Liaodong, the affairs of this Dangkou Army are temporarily handed over to Huang Baihu, after Yang leaves, please help me more, we will be neighbors in the future, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"
He said.
Liu Shimin also understood what he was doing.
"Our family is the master of ceremonies, this Xu has just entered the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Division, the two of us and Brother Yang are lifelong friendships, Brother Yang's business is our business, in the future, there is nothing that this Dangkou army can't solve, although you go to us, but if Brother Yang goes to Liaodong on an errand, someone is here to stab him in the back, then we don't say anything else, invite him to Beiya for a cup of tea can still be done."
He said grimly.
"Father-in-law, please rest assured, the affairs of the Dangkou army are our business, Yang Tongzhi went to Liaodong to kill thieves for the country, we don't help him take care of this rear, who will help him? There is still a lot of surplus food there, so I will give a hundred stones to the Kou army first, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country! ”
Liu Laoyi immediately said in a straight voice.
And the remaining gentry were also busy echoing one by one.
