Chapter 51: Traveling with Beauty
After arranging these two major events, Xiao Tianjian immediately recruited Yan Chongxi and other generals to come over to discuss the matter, because Feng Tiancheng caused an emergency and disrupted Xiao Tianjian's original plan, and now that Feng Tiancheng has been killed, then the plan set some time ago will continue to be implemented.
The Xingtian Army's grain stock is not sufficient at the moment, even if Feng Tiancheng's Black Dragon Village was laid down, a batch of grain was obtained from it, but these grains were only enough for the Xingtian Army to barely survive until the New Year, and this time for the New Year, Xiao Tianjian also planned to send another batch of grain out to help the local farmers, so that they could really feel the benefits of the Xingtian Army to them, and help them spend this New Year, now he is playing with the population, if the people in the jurisdiction are starved to death, who will reclaim the grain fields for him in the future!
So the top priority at the moment is to solve the problem of food, and for the time being, Xiao Tianjian doesn't want to get along with those officials in Yangcheng County, so he decided not to go to the central and northern parts of Yangcheng County to find the big households there, but ordered Yan Chongxi to immediately lead his troops out of the mountain, this time out, headed by Yan Chongxi, supplemented by Zhao Erdonkey and Li Xuanzhu, first ordered him to go to the area of Qinshui County and Yicheng County to carry out activities, before the New Year, hit a batch of grain back, the focus is to grab a batch of ploughing cattle by the way, after all, after the start of spring ploughing in the New Year, If there are not enough cattle, it is impossible to quickly restore a large piece of wasteland and plant spring seedlings, so it is necessary to solve the problem of a group of ploughing cattle during this time.
But the premise is that their gang of people went out to collect food this time, and they couldn't use the banner of fighting the Heavenly Army for the time being, but disguised themselves as ordinary bandits and carried out secret activities, as for whether they acted together or separately, it depended on the size of the Zhuangzi in those places was temporarily decided by Yan Chongxi, and Xiao Tianjian could not control this kind of thing, so he gave power to Yan Chongxi to consider.
Yan Chongxi doesn't need to explain too much, this person's ability should be able to do this properly, and Xiao Tianjian is not worried that Yan Chongxi will do anything out of the ordinary, because around the officers above the general level of each team, there are guards directly under him to monitor them, these people are not subordinate to these officers, but directly subordinate to the iron head directly under the central government, and they will be rotated regularly, so Xiao Tianjian is not worried about the officers under his command when they leave him.
After Yan Chongxi received the order, he did not delay much, and immediately led 600 soldiers and 400 soldiers out of Lotus Village, bypassing Yangcheng County, and sneaking towards Qinshui County.
And Xiao Tianjian pinched his fingers to calculate the time, seeing that there were not many days left for the New Year, and many things had just begun, and almost everyone under his hands was busy with his heels hitting the back of his head.
At present, the work of counting population and land is basically coming to an end, Fu Deming will then start to be busy merging villages and redividing land, this kind of matter Xiao Tianjian has entrusted Fu Deming to deal with, and he also believes that for civil matters, Fu Deming will handle it better than anyone under him, and it will never be worse than him. I believe these people should be able to do this well.
Without waiting for Xiao Tianjian to take a breath, Zhang Chao from Shuangfeng Village in Dongye Town sent someone to send a message to Xiao Tianjian, which made Xiao Tianjian suddenly excited, and immediately decided to go to Shuangfeng Village.
During this time, he was really busy with some feet that did not touch the ground, so that he was busy for so long, Dongye Town did not have time to pay attention, the last time he went to Shuangfeng Village, it was only after capturing Lotus Village, when he used to pick the fruits of victory, he took a hasty look there, and later because Shuangfeng Village was burned down by Feng Tiancheng, he did not get too much benefit, so he arranged for Zhang Chao to garrison Shuangfeng Village, and he led his troops back to Lotus Village, how is the situation of the craftsman camp in Shuangfeng Village doing now, it is necessary for him to go over to see.
So after he explained the repair of the Lotus Village and the intensified training of the recruits, Xiao Tianjian nodded the iron head, and with a small number of personal followers, he went out of the mountain in the direction of Shuangfeng Village.
And this time there is a special person in the entourage, that is, Fan Yutong, the lady of the Fan family, after Fan Yutong agreed to cooperate with Xiao Tianjian to contact her father, Xiao Tianjian also restricted her more leniently, which made her range of activities expand a little and be more free, and Fan Yutong does not seem to be an idle character, she looks at the scenery in the lotus village every day, and she is also a little tired of watching, so she asked people to bring a message to Xiao Tianjian, saying that she wants to go out and see the situation here.
And Xiao Tianjian also considered that Fan Yutong might need to mediate and deal with the Fan family in the future, and it was indispensable to let Fan Yutong get in touch with some of his affairs, so he nodded and agreed to her request, this time he was going to Dongye Town to inspect the situation over there, so he simply took Fan Yutong with him.
The group walked on the mountain path, among them was a carriage, Xiao Tianjian rode on his yellow horse, chatting with Fan Yutong as he walked, although they had some embarrassing things between them last time, but Fan Yutong, a girl, could still afford to let go, for the first few days, she still avoided Xiao Tianjian, and was a little embarrassed to see him, but after a few days, she let go of the matter.
And Xiao Tianjian also enjoys being able to travel with a beautiful woman like Fan Yutong, with a beautiful woman to talk, this trip will be more comfortable, Fan Yutong lifted the curtain, looked around curiously, and talked to Xiao Tianjian who was following the car, inquiring about some things about Xiao Tianjian and Xing Tianjun before, as well as things about Shaanxi.
And Xiao Tianjian is also willing to pick some unimportant things to tell her, and from time to time he will say some gossip, originally Xiao Tianjian, a person in later generations, has a wider vision than anyone in this era, whether it is nature, history, geography, etc., you must know a lot of interesting anecdotes, just say a little, let Fan Yutong listen to it with relish.
Fan Yutong never thought that Xiao Tianjian would understand so much, no matter what things she proposed, Xiao Tianjian could always say one, two, three, even if she said something about business, Xiao Tianjian could still speak, which made Fan Yutong very surprised.
Originally, she thought that Xiao Tianjian should be just a rough person who couldn't read too many books, but she didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to be almost 'omniscient, omniscient', and she had never even heard of many things, but Xiao Tianjian could tell the story like a few treasures.
This made Fan Yutong have to have a new understanding of Xiao Tianjian, and he no longer dared to treat Xiao Tianjian as a rough man.
In the end, they talked about today's major events in the world, Xiao Tianjian rode on the horse and pulled the reins of the horse and said: "Today's emperor, you can't say that he is a faint monarch, but Chongzhen's biggest problem is that he is too rigid and self-serving, you must know that governing the world is not something that can be managed by one person, and he must bow down to everything, but he can't do anything!"
There is also the appointment of his ministers, he is too arbitrary, either suspicious, or too gullible, improper employment is already cheap for him, he is simply an idiot! Let's see who he's reused! Now that the DPRK and China are rampant, no one can control them, and they themselves do not do their own business, many times, they are fighting among themselves, but anyone who has some ability, a minister who wants to do more for the country, will immediately have a crowd to attack him, so that he will not be able to do anything!
Millions of taels of silver were invested in Liaodong every year in the Ming Dynasty, but what about the situation? Yuan Chonghuan went, in addition to killing the meritorious man Mao Wenlong, on the surface, he bombarded and killed the wild boar Pinurhachi, but in fact? Did you block the Tartar from entering the customs? But let Huang Taiji lead the troops and kill them all the way to the city of Beijing, so many soldiers and horses in Liaodong, what did they do? How many generals dare to fight against the soldiers and horses of the wild boar skin? How many elite soldiers have been trained?
Hmph, in addition to increasing salaries every year, increasing salaries and increasing salaries, can you recover half of the lost ground? However, it has made a mess of the good country and made the people miserable!
Everyone has the right to live, this is not just a matter of natural disasters, how many people have been appeased by the imperial court? But the salary has never softened the wrist! The common people were originally the people of his Zhu dynasty, but what did they get, in addition to layers of exploitation, they couldn't even eat, if people couldn't eat, they could only rise up, the reason why we people fought against the court was because they couldn't live, so they did this business, if they didn't do this, how could we live to this time?
I have also seen people eat people with my own eyes, even myself, I was almost killed and eaten, so I can't bear it any longer, so I took these people to do this business, my purpose is to let the poor people in the world have food, clothing, not to be exploited by those damn corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not to be oppressed by those big landlords, this is why I want to do this business!
At present, because the imperial court has increased salaries year after year, more and more people have no way to make a living, and more people have begun to rebel with the righteous army, just to survive, and the more righteous troops, the more the imperial court has to sit firmly for them, and recruit more soldiers to encircle and suppress the righteous army. That is to exhaust the last drop of blood of the Ming Dynasty until the demise of the Ming Dynasty! And in the end, Da Ming either died at the hands of our rebels, or died in the Eastern Tartars, I am definitely not alarmist!
And businessmen like your father, if they are discerning people, they can see that they are facing a big gamble at the moment, just like betting on the casino, you must choose to bet on the rebels or the Eastern Tartars, or bet on the treasure on the stormy Ming Dynasty, and wait until one day the world is turned upside down, the person who bets on the right treasure will have a chance to survive, and will soar! And once you bet on the wrong treasure, hum! I don't say that Miss Fan probably understands that the day of the death of Da Ming is also the time when their family is wiped out! ”
(I've been so scared that I didn't dare to go to the book review area these days, but when I looked at it today, it was really unsurprising, and the scolding was like a cloud!) However, this line about Fan Yutong is not my whim, but an important line that has been determined before opening this book, and there will be quite a lot of things in the future that will involve this line, and these chapters are actually foreshadowing, I am very kind, and I have also refined the posts that scolded me! The cold wind opened Tencent Weibo, please brothers to step on it! I wonder there's something that resonates with you! http:\/\/t.qq.com\/hanfengfujian)
