The world is impermanent, and the gathering and dispersion are uncertain.

"I've worked hard for you for most of the past six months, without you, the selection of generals would not have gone so smoothly, and I remember your efforts. Since you all have something to go back to Lin'an, I won't force you to stay, let's get together in Lin'an later. ”

Yang Congyi felt a little sad in his heart, the general camp of more than 20,000 people was in full swing, the fighting spirit was high, and it was in full swing, and in five days, everything disappeared like smoke in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jin and Lu You are not soldiers, they are invited by the general camp to join the army, and after working hard for more than half a year, Yang Congyi naturally wants to give some money to the minister.

The two couldn't shirk it, so they took it separately.

In places like Lin'an, there is no money in hand, and there is really no way to live.

A day later, Shen Jin and Lu You left together and returned to Lin'an together.

The election is over, and everyone in the selection camp seems to have lost their goal and is not interested in what they do.

There were only more than 2,000 people left in the huge camp for electoral generals, and compared with before, it was more empty and quieter, especially at night, when the camp was dark and deserted.

After the formation of the Jingwu Army was completed, Yang Congyi convened a group of generals and schools to get together, and after everyone got to know each other, they arranged the subsequent training, and the daily training of the Jingwu Army was no longer concerned.

Because of the land borrowed by the general camp last year, Yu Xianling sent people to inquire many times when the people who moved out could take back their land.

The imperial court did not say that the camp was revoked, and the Jingwu army was formed, and the garrison was still in the camp for the selection of generals, so this land could not be returned to the people, if it was to be occupied all the time, it was obvious that the Jingwu army would not pay money, so the people who moved out would not only have no land, but also no money, and it was the people who believed in him who suffered the loss, which was also what Yang Congyi did not want to see.

This question was so tricky that he couldn't help but go to the yamen to see if he could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

In the living room, Yiwu County Ling Yu Yu was overjoyed when he saw Yang Congyi, and he was finally able to see it.

"Lord Yang, I heard that the king of Pu'an is here?" Yu Yu couldn't help but ask in a low voice with excitement in his heart.

"I have returned to Lin'an a few days ago."

"Gone?" Yu Yu was disappointed, how could he leave so quickly?

"Yu County Order, there are some new situations in the election camp, and the election camp will not be revoked in the short term, and I don't have a good way to ask for land from the people, so I came to discuss with you today." Yang Congyi didn't plan to make small talk and get straight to the point.

"Lord Yang, how long is the short term you are talking about? Trimester? Five months? Or a year and a half? Yu Yu's face couldn't help but be shocked.

"I can't say for sure. Although the matter of selecting generals has ended, the imperial court has formed a new army, the Jingwu Army, with an establishment of 3,000 people, of which 2,000 are stationed in the selection camp, 500 are in Wuzhou, and the remaining 500 are in Quzhou. To tell the truth, I am only temporarily leading the elite army, maybe in a few months, the imperial court will send someone else to replace me, but at that time, the new officials will ignore the old accounts, and the land occupied by the general camp will definitely not be returned to the people, and they will not continue to lend money and land, and if it is not handled well, there will be big problems. ”

Yu Yu was stunned.

"How can the imperial court do this? Lord Yang, you can't go, as soon as you leave, the people will have to ask the lower officials for money, where will the lower officials have money for them! You're hurting me! Yu Yu was about to cry.

"Yu County is not in a hurry, let's think of a way. I have an idea, I don't know if it will work? Yang Congyi comforted Yu Yu, after all, he made this matter, and he couldn't do it if he left it.

"Lord Yang has a way? Please say it, please say it! Yu Yu was also in a hurry.

"If the people have no land and no money to buy food, they are bound to make trouble. But if you can give them food and not go hungry, will you be able to calm them down? I think so, the imperial court has given the elite army 3,000 people, and now there is a shortage of 500 people, if the shortage of these 500 people is given to them, and 500 soldiers are recruited from among the people who borrow land, the imperial court will give them food and salary according to the standard of the elite forbidden army, even if there is no land, the food and salary of the 500 elite forbidden army should be able to support him and them. What does Yu County Ling think? ”

"This method can solve part of the trouble, five hundred people into the forbidden army, they can eat and live in the barracks, but what if there are eight or nine hundred people left? You can't sleep on the streets, you can't be idle if you don't farm, otherwise you'll still get into trouble. Lord Yang doesn't come to the city, you don't know how crazy it is since the people who borrowed land have money in their hands, Xia Guan heard that some villagers actually drilled fireworks and willow lane, and lost all their money in less than a month. The lower officials thought that the people still couldn't be idle, and if it was the fate of farming, they couldn't do without fields, otherwise the world would be in chaos. ”

"Yu County Order or land? If the imperial court does not withdraw the general camp, how can this land be returned to the people? ”

"They can't do it if they only have money and no land, so let them continue to go back to farming. Lord Yang wants to find a way to return the land to the people, otherwise they will launch a mad attack and go straight to the election camp, and there will be a big mess! ”

How good is that?

In a brain teaser, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to mind.

"Yu County Order, I really can't return the land they had before, if I give them land in other places, can I do it?"

"Lord Yang has land? You won't let them move to other places, will you? Yu Yu was happy and then suspicious.

"It's not far from the election camp, it's in the mountains east of Jiangkou Village, the mountains are densely wooded and the land is fertile, if it is reclaimed, it will be much better than the land before them."

"Clearing the wilderness in the mountains?" Yu Yu had an unbelievable look on his face, this is a joke, to return more than 3,000 acres of land to the people, and to open up 3,000 acres of land in the mountains, it is so difficult that I can't imagine it.

"Exactly, in fact, there is a lot of good land in the mountains, but it is not easy to cultivate, otherwise you can harvest a lot of more grain every year. I wonder if the land in the mountains has a home? ”

"Some of the people who are close to the mountain have belonging, and others have other people, but very few people are registering, let alone certificates, and the government can use them at any time if they want to. Lord Yang really wants to open up wasteland in the mountains? ”

"If you don't open up wasteland, how can you return the land to the people. There are 2,500 Jingwu troops, and 2,000 people can be sent into the mountains to open up the wasteland, and more than 1,000 people who have borrowed land can also go into the mountains to open up the wasteland together. "Clearing the land seems to be the only feasible way at present, otherwise there will really be no land to return to the people.

"Okay, since the two thousand forbidden troops are out, this matter will definitely be done. The lower officials immediately sent someone to inform the people, so that they could prepare their tools and go into the mountains to open up the wasteland! ”

"Also, please ask Yu County to help raise as many tools as possible, the soldiers of the forbidden army only have knives and guns in their hands, no axes and hoes."

"Don't worry, Lord Yang, you must be ready."

"Then it's decided, five days later, Su Xi will gather in the camp."

The most troublesome thing came up with a solution, Yang Congyi chatted with Yu Xianling for a while, and then quickly left the yamen without accepting the invitation to eat together.

Back in the general selection camp, Yang Congyi immediately gathered a group of generals and colonies, announced the latest mission of the Jingwu Army, and entered the mountains to open up wasteland.

Everyone was confused, what kind of wilderness? Is the Jingwu army going to be in the mountains?

When Yang Congyi explained to them roughly, everyone immediately discussed, and they couldn't understand the matter of going into the mountains to open up wasteland for the people, since it was the court that used the people's land, the court gave money, and how much money could be had for 3,000 acres of land, and the court couldn't afford it.

Everyone was puzzled, Yang Congyi had to tell them in detail, the court would not pay, the elite army would not pay, and the people had no land, and they would inevitably come to the general camp to make trouble in the future, once the trouble started, I don't know how much blood would be shed. Can the problem be solved without bloodshed, why should it be solved after bloodshed?

As long as they go into the mountains and reclaim 3,000 acres of land for the people, the elite army will be able to live in the general camp once and for all, and no one can come to harass them.

Yang Congyi has decided to solve the matter, even if there are still generals who do not understand it very well, it is imperative to go into the mountains and open up wasteland.

Into the mountains to open up the wasteland!

This military order soon spread throughout the Jingwu army, and some of the soldiers were puzzled, some were novel, some were repulsed, and some were eager to try.

But no matter what, since the end of the election of generals, the elite army has new goals, and the morale has gradually begun to reunite.

A few days later, six or seven hundred people with various tools entered the camp of the generals, and until they came to the inner camp to join the two thousand elite troops, and then marched together towards the mountains.

Su Zhong stayed behind to guard the general camp, and the rest of the troops commanded all the elite troops to march into the mountains.

Luo Cong and Yao Chang's troops have been wandering around the mountains for several months, and they know the terrain and landforms in the mountains well, and almost all the officers and men of the army are from the bottom, and they are naturally familiar with the land.

After the four commanders entered the mountain, they were divided into 40 teams, and 7 or 800 people followed the 40 teams of forbidden troops, and they went to find land suitable for clearing wasteland.

The mountainous land within a radius of dozens of miles was robbed by the people, and every time they arrived, there were people who waved their big hands, shouting "I want this land", "I want that land", and a piece of land in their mouths was a mountain, and all they got was the side eyes of the soldiers of the elite army.

After a few days of searching and searching, each household has found the land to be cultivated, and then they enter the arduous journey of clearing the wasteland.

Cut down the trees, remove all thorns and debris from the ground, and then dig out the roots of the stakes one by one, and remove the stones from the soil by the way.

It took several days to finish cutting down the trees, and when the roots of the stakes were dug up and the stones were cleaned, it took more than ten days to turn over the land, and it took nearly 20 days for an average of two people to complete the whole acre.

After more than two months, the exhausted Jingwu army finally completed the task of reclaiming 3,000 acres of land and returned to the camp outside the mountain.

Shortly after their return, the Jingwu Army ushered in their command.
