Chapter 69: Houjin finally moved

Daning has fertile land waiting to be reclaimed, and the government also took the initiative to go to the fields to lease all kinds of easy-to-use farming and reclamation farm tools, as well as cattle and horses, to this group of poor people at a very low price. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And as long as more than 60 acres of land are cultivated, the government also provides seeds for sowing free of charge.

The point is that there is almost no tax burden on farming in Daning, and at the beginning, people still didn't believe it, thinking that the government was teasing them. It's just that a few days later, the official document of the official government was engraved on the stone stele, and they all commanded the Guan Daren to lead a group of officials to read the oath outside the Chenghuang Temple, and after the tribute was burned on the yellow paper, the stone tablet was erected outside the Chenghuang Temple at the east gate of each city, and the notices in black and white letters were also posted on the notice boards of each pavilion, and everyone could not believe it.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, the unprecedented enthusiasm of this group of old farmers was suddenly mobilized, and some people were even busy clearing the wasteland in the stars and moons, and the private houses built by the government could not take care of it, and they set up a shack in the field and settled down, which was a beautiful thing that their ancestors never dreamed of! Of course, they also heard the news that the Daning government was starting to continue to receive the next batch of victims.

Guan Shanyue originally thought that it was already the limit that each family could open up 60 acres of land in one spring, but he far underestimated the love of the people of Daning for land. This group of people from the bottom is simply a model worker, just one spring each family to open up nearly 100 acres of land, this ability and enthusiasm to repair the land, looking at the world, absolutely one of the best.

In the blink of an eye, summer is almost over, and despite being in the north, it is still extremely hot. Although the rain is not particularly heavy this year, the crops in the fields near Duoyan City are growing very gratifyingly, thanks to the team under Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong's hands, which is willing to contribute, in line with the principle of concentrating on doing great things, regardless of the severe cold and scorching heat, a reservoir was built for the people of Duoyan City. I heard that in addition to this team of people building water conservancy everywhere, there is also a team that is working in the coal mine outside Duoyan City, and they are also not taking a penny, only asking for three full meals.

These two teams of people are suspicious people identified by Wei Zhongxian after completing the household registration. They did not voluntarily participate in labor at all, but were forced to participate in reform, and of course they would not say so on the surface. It was the eyeliner sent by Emperor Chongzhen to build water conservancy everywhere, after all, he was the emperor's person, and he still had to give face. Those who can't see the sun for a day in the coal mine are the eyes and ears of the cabinet members, Wei Zhongxian is not so polite to them, just eat three meals or eat well, if you are not careful, the guard's big whip will be picked up.

This group of people originally came to Daning Dusi to spy on the news, but now they have no personal freedom, and they are staring at them even when they sleep, even if they spy on the news, they can't send it. At the beginning, in the dead of night, this group of people regretted not being at the beginning, thinking of their enthusiasm for coming to Daning Dusi to make contributions, lying on the oil-stained Chase bunk from time to time to make two big mouths. However, they soon canceled the bedtime exercise, because they were on the pillow after a day of intense work.

This group of secret agents can bear this kind of suffering, in fact, they have wanted to confess for a long time, but they have been prevaricated by Wei Zhongxian, who intends to rectify them, for various reasons.

Guan Shanyue knew that the reason why the imperial court sent these people to collect information when the Daning Dusi was improving was not to go back and praise his merits, but to collect his black materials at all. He hated the chaotic and constant party struggle in the imperial court, and did not want to join any of them, so he took a blind eye to Wei Zhongxian's reform movement.

On this day, he had nothing to do, he was checking the safety of those spies on the coal mine, seeing that although these people were engaged in high-intensity labor, their bodies were much stronger than when they first came, but he was still reluctant, after all, Daning Dusi didn't have a penny from them, "Brother Wei, isn't it a bit too much to do this......

Wei Zhongxian, who was walking side by side with him, pursed his lips when he heard it, as an old factory guard, he didn't think so, and let them go to the coal mine, the living conditions were simply different from the prison in the East Factory, "Hey, Brother Guan, you don't know anything." They are a group of vicious dogs that have been kept captive by the princes and ministers of the court for many years, and they will not hesitate to pounce on whoever they ask them to bite, if you don't want to die unjustly, don't pity them. There is a saying in our hometown of Hejian Mansion: Vicious dogs wear rough sticks. You can't be reasonable with them, as long as you take out a big stick, they will be obedient immediately. They don't understand human speech, but they understand it. They are all from the military, and although they are not border troops, they can still bear this hardship. You don't want to, you fart a few times a day, go to the hut a few times a day or something, and be known by the guys in the court, unless you're a fool. ”

Guan Shanyue pursed her lips, although he didn't particularly agree, but felt that what Wei Zhongxian said still made some sense. Now Daning Dusi is like a toddler, and this Daning Dusi is also a ray of life in the Ming Dynasty, "Brother Wei, the transformation is almost the same, and after passing the assessment, give them a chance to change their minds." You see that the group of Haixi Jurchens who surrendered under the city of Kulun at the beginning are now eating and drinking well in our Daning Dusi, and they are also killing the enemy when they go to the battlefield, and some loyal and reliable ones are willing to take the risk of going to Houjin to be a fine work for us, I am afraid that they have long forgotten what Houjin is. Most people can be transformed, as for those who really can't be transformed, you old factory guards just look at it, I personally have no opinion. You can't pee in a pot with us, and you can leave them to harm us. ”

As a later man, he already knew the outcome of this history. But with his limited knowledge of history, he really couldn't find a better choice other than Daning to save the people from fire and water. Because he is a little-known nobody, even if he has broken through many dangers and obstacles to meet Emperor Chongzhen, the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, he has the honor to stand on the Jinluan Palace and say to him: "Your Majesty, you must do this, you have to do this, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will die at your hands." "I believe that when his words land, his eater will also move. When he was dying, he had to be detained with a big hat that would confuse the public with certain gossipes and demagoguery.

Therefore, with public and private, now the Daning Dusi is still hiding its strength and making a fortune in a muffled voice, and it is only the best policy to wait until the strength is strong and the time is ripe to come out and turn the tide. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the people of Daning Dusi need protection.

If the cabinet ministers of the imperial court, who were full of benevolence and morality but did not know military affairs, knew that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Daning Dusi was not as vulnerable as the Jiangnan guards they thought, they would definitely encourage Emperor Chongzhen to recruit the soldiers of the Daning Dusi. Whether it was to recruit them to attack Houjin immediately or to recruit them into the customs to quell the people's rebellion, it would ruin the plan in his heart. The former is still reluctantly difficult, but the latter is absolutely unacceptable to him, because he feels that in addition to natural disasters and accidents, man-made disasters also account for a large part of the civil uprising in the northwest, and the land annexation is so powerful that the people at the bottom have no land to plant or cannot afford to plant land, anyway, they are dying horizontally and vertically, why don't they die and struggle. Therefore, he was inclined to accept more victims of the disaster than to kill them.

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect Guan Shanyue to think about it so much, he always felt that Guan Shanyue had some womanly kindness, but he was always embarrassed to say it. secretly said in his heart: "After all, this kid is still doing a good job, although he often does things out of common sense, but he has not made any big mistakes." He still has a lot of points, such as his long-term vision, which he can't catch up with. But when it comes to governing people, this kid is still more tender than the miscellaneous family, at least for now, he still needs to be mentioned from time to time by the miscellaneous family, hey, who made us grasshoppers on a rope. ”

Thinking of this, he tugged at Guan Shanyue's sleeve, glanced at him, and motioned to him to have some secret words to him.

Guan Shanyue suddenly walked a few steps quickly, and stopped under the shade of a tree the size of a car canopy, where no one was around, which was a good place to talk, "Dog, you guys are patrolling around, I'm a little tired, I want to rest in the shade of this tree with Gonggong Wei." ”

The group of pro-soldiers scattered in all directions, after all, this is on the coal mine, and the miners inside are still a group of unknown suspects, they don't dare to be a little sloppy.

Wei Zhongxian knew that what he said was not a good thing, and after he looked around and was sure that no one was eavesdropping, he leaned into Guan Shanyue's ear and whispered: "The reason why those Haixi Jurchens are so desperate to follow our Daning Dusi is that in addition to the unpopularity of Houjin, they really have no way out. Brother, let me remind you: Harm is often caused by ignorance, and the disaster is unbearable. This sentence, although there are some villains, but the miscellaneous family is indeed infinitely useful, and has relied on it several times to turn evil into good fortune. The understanding of this thing is people, there are more criminals interrogated by the miscellaneous family in Dongchang than people known by Brother Guan, my feeling is that people are deceitful, I trusted Huang Liji and others so much at the beginning, and now I am not also trapped by them to such a field? Deal with this group of minions, this time you will listen to the miscellaneous family. After the adjustment of the miscellaneous family, ensure that they will be loyal to you and Daning Dusi in the future. Of course, this sentence is not only used to deal with them, Brother Guan is so smart to figure it out more in private, and his experience will definitely be more than that of miscellaneous families. ”

After saying that, he slapped Guan Shangyue on the shoulder meaningfully, and then found a clean piece of land under the big tree to cool off, humming a little tune in his mouth, as if he hadn't said anything.

Guan Shanyue's first reaction when she heard this sentence was that this sentence was used to deal with villains, but thinking about it, although Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with one hand when he was in power, there were also many people who secretly opposed him, and his words should sometimes be listened to.

The two of them rested in the shade of the trees for a while, and then they patrolled the huge coal mine, looking at the busy miners on the coal mine, Guan Shanyue sighed with emotion, and told everyone that although the coal mine is an open-pit coal mine, they should also pay attention to production safety.

It's just that as soon as he opened the conversation, a cavalry in charge of communications came to him in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Lord Guan, please return to the capital to command the embassy as soon as possible, and the generals are already waiting in the palace to listen to the order." The front-line scouts found out that the troops in the areas of Jinchangtu, Tieling, and Fushun had a tendency to gather in Shenyang, and the Haixi Jurchen spies sent to Shenyang also found out that Huang Taiji was transferring troops and sending generals, and I was afraid that Houjin would be unfavorable to our Daning. ”

Guan Shanyue did not have the slightest panic in his heart after hearing this, but had a sense of relief, he turned to Wei Zhongxian and smiled brightly, and said: "Huang Taiji has finally moved, if he keeps holding his troops still, I really can't guess his intentions." ”

Wei Zhongxian almost died in Kulun City last time, he hated Huang Taiji to the core, as soon as he heard that Jin You was going to attack, his anger came up at once, "Grandma Di, as long as Huang Taiji moves, he will have a loophole, if he dares to attack my Daning without opening his eyes this time, the miscellaneous family must give him some color to see!" ”

Guan Shanyue is now calm and relaxed, and although Daning's current strength is still helpless, there is no problem in protecting himself with the help of the thick city wall. If you are in a hurry and fight to break the net of the fish and die, and the people are requisitioned, it is really uncertain who will kill the deer in the end. "Then Grandpa Wei, let's go back and discuss. Although we are not afraid of this group of wild boar skins to attack, we still have to do the preparation for the enemy, please! ”

"Please!"

After the two finished speaking, they got on their horses and rushed in the direction of Duoyan City under the protection of their own soldiers.
