Chapter 131: A Dignified Man [2/5, Ask for Subscription]
"After the envoy is famous, the ancestors are glorious, and the world is famous, how noble. This ancestor's reputation cannot be humiliated, and he refuses to fall into the grass, Lu Qian can understand. Lu Qian looked at Yang Zhi, who seemed to be alive, but still refused to say a word, and smiled lightly.
He came to earn Yang Zhi to join the gang this time, and no one on Liang Mountain went to take the birth compendium of Liang Zhongshu. Yang Zhi went to Liangshan in the original book, and maybe when he saw Liu Tang, San Ruan, Wu Yong, Bai Sheng and others, he would be full of anger and annoyance. Gai was the last hope that Chao Gai and his gang sent him to serve the Great Song Dynasty in Huangnigang, so that he could be crowned his wife and son in the future, glorify the court, and revive the reputation of the fallen Yang family.
As a famous family, Yang Zhi does have reason to think so.
As mentioned above, in order to be developed, he was willing to invest in the traitorous ministers, but it was a pity that he was obedient, first he lost the flower stone gang, and he was evil; Later, he did private affairs under Liang Zhongshu and lost his birthday. Twice he didn't dare to return to his life, so he could only flee to the rivers and lakes.
Yang Zhi in the original book has gone through the road clearly, and he doesn't want to die, so he has no choice but to fall into the grass.
But what about now? Yang Zhi is also the end of the road. Salmon Island is a ghost gate, and you can't get out if you go in. And no one is willing to die. Especially in Yang Zhi's situation, Lu Qian didn't believe that he had no complaints about the old Zhao family in his heart.
And in this cause and effect, Lu Qian didn't use any subordinate means, it was with real strength. Yang Zhi is the general of a defeated army, just like Yang Lao Linggong surrendered to the Song Dynasty back then. He himself is unwilling to die, and he buries his skills for nothing, so what else can he do? There is no second way for him to survive except for falling grass.
"The big boss is ashamed of Yang Zhi when he says this. Yang Zhi is now in such a field, what kind of face do he have to mention the name of his ancestors. In this regard, go up the mountain and join the gang, and ask the big boss to accept it. ”
Yang Zhizi did not want to die. Even if he was affected by the reputation of his ancestors, he was unwilling to die, just like Liu Tang scolded him, when he was invested in Gao Yu's sect and went to Jiangnan to escort Hua Shigang, he didn't know that he was poked in the back by thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. Didn't Yang Zhi think of it before? Isn't it the first time that the Palace Marshal's Mansion has sent someone to escort Huashi Gang? But he was still willing. From that time, he had actually insulted the reputation of his ancestors. But Yang Zhi thought yes, didn't look at the results, and didn't ask about his background. Just wait for one day to climb to a higher position and become famous on the battlefield, which will naturally wash away the previous shame.
This shows that he is a decisive man.
From here, it can be seen that Yang Zhi is not a rigid head. What is expedient, he can still understand. This is like Qi Jiguang, a famous general of Zhu Ming in later generations, Qi Dashuai has been in Jimen for more than ten years, but it is not Li Chengliang's self-respect to raise Kou in Liaodong, nor is it that he Qi Jiguang can fight and kill, and the Tatars on the grassland were beaten by him ten years ago and did not dare to go south. Qi Jiguang was able to sit firmly in the position of the marshal of the border pass in the early years of Wanli, relying on his courteous advice to Zhang Juzheng. Fur seals or something.
On the other hand, what about Yu Dayou, who is as famous as him? Looking at the fate of the hard-working "Yu Long", isn't it desolate?
This example is not to say that Yang Zhi's military talent is comparable to "Yu Long Qi Hu", but to say that his brain and his character. People's character determines people's fate, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are like this, and so is Yang Zhi. Today he made a very good and happy decision. Although it was very difficult, it was still a quick new decision.
In this way, Yang Zhi thinks like this, his father and mother gave birth to a sprinkle family, a dignified table, a dignified body, and has become eighteen kinds of martial arts since elementary school, and finally it will not be like this! It's better to wait for him to get it in the future than to find a death, but then pay attention to it.
In other words, it is better to die than to live. is to fall into the grass, commit an official, and when the government takes it and asks for the crime, it is not too late to die.
After 'picking up' Yang Zhi, Lu Qian did not stay in Pingyin for a moment. Immediately took people back to the boat at the ferry and sailed towards the cottage.
This time, Lu Qian himself was present to 'welcome' Yang Zhi up the mountain, and there was also Lu Zhishen, leaving Lin Chong in the cottage to mobilize troops and horses, because after welcoming Yang Zhi, the Liangshan army would soon rush towards Qinghe.
From mid-to-late February to now, in about two months, there are three or four thousand more people in Liangshan Cottage. Especially in March and April, there are more than 100 people who go up the mountain every day. Most of them opted for an advance salary at the same time as they received a settling-in allowance. Liang Shan stipulated that new arrivals could pay up to three months' salary in advance, although that was only the most basic monthly salary. The first time these people got the money was to send them to the bottom of the mountain without leaving a piece. There were even relatives who followed them to the water pool, and waited on the edge of the water pool. This is mostly the people in the vicinity.
Lu Qian originally thought that he had suppressed the inferior gentry and local tyrants, so when this time was not over, the life of the people around Shuibo should become better. After all, no one dares to take the opportunity to kill poor ghosts in the open, right?
Since going up the mountain, Lu Qian has used ruthless means to repair the inferior gentry around Shuibo. Although he didn't dare to say that he had killed all the people in the surrounding area, Lu Qian said with confidence that among the gentry and landlords in the counties around Shuibo, he was afraid that none of the people who dared to take the opportunity to attack would be found.
People are afraid of death. In the face of strong pressure that they were unable to resist, the gentry and landlords all chose to give in.
Under such circumstances, the lives of those poor peasants can finally be better, right? That's what Lu Qian really thought. From this, it can be seen that he is still very kind by nature, right?
But they didn't expect that although many large landlords were much fairer when they released grain, the total number of grain released was less. So much so that there are still many poor men running up the mountain around this water. And their downfall is so far, and there is a credit to the county officials.
The settling-in allowance and salary advance are just a small amount of money for Lu Qian, but for the people, this is life-saving money. Even if the price of grain at the bottom of the mountain has more than doubled compared to June and July, the money raised from going up the mountain is enough to save the family's life.
There is enough food on Liangshan, but not enough to waste it. Otherwise, if Lu Qian is willing to give porridge, maybe there will be more people going up the mountain. It's just that if Zhujiazhuang can harvest 500,000 stone of grain, and if there really can be 500,000 stone of grain there, next year, no, just this winter, he will not only give porridge, but also put grain for relief.
The closer the people are to Liangshan, the more they understand the rules of Liangshan. Many outsiders still have to wait for the post office under the Espionage Department to send the money home after getting the money, and even spend money to 'register'.
Many newcomers don't know why the cottage is called 'post office', they don't know that in the Tang Dynasty, there were "homesick tears in this mail, and there should be no water in the south and flow north." I didn't know that the so-called 'registered letter' was just from Lu Qian's bad taste. But they both quickly learned each other's functions. There are really some people who are willing to spend money to 'register'.
Just in southwest Lu, there are so many refugees in March and April, how many people are there in the whole world? Lu Qian now feels more and more that the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty is not just the brute strength of the Jurchens. Prior to this, Zhao Ji, the birdman and his group of moths, had hollowed out most of the foundation of the world.
As far as the low-level people in the counties around Shuibo are concerned, in the past half a year, they have been oppressed no less than in previous years, and even more. The only difference is that in previous years they were mostly oppressed by the landlords and gentry, but this year they were more oppressed by the officials and the government. You must know that all counties are building volunteers, and the money and grain cannot only be donated by the gentry and wealthy households. And in previous years, the wealthy and powerful families would more or less help the poor ghosts below to cover up some official dispatches, but now they are eager to distribute more from above.
This made Lu Qian helpless. Although the influence of Yangsanbo has radiated to most of Jeju Prefecture, it cannot control the surrounding vast countryside and fields, as well as those old men in the county. Lu Qian is not engaged in an agrarian revolution, and he does not have so many people in his hands to be village officials and engage in propaganda. In essence, his existence is more like a coercive 'rent and interest reduction' campaign, full of violence and blood.
This kind of thing will be difficult to solve until Liangshan is strong enough to completely destroy the dominance of the local government in the eyes of the peasants and gentry and landlords.
In this way, Lu Qian's solution is not to solve it, and he can't solve it. Just put it aside, anyway, the peasants who are forced to do nothing will only take refuge in Liangshan. For the government, this is a vicious circle.
On the way back to Liangshan, Lu Qian, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others talked a lot. For example, Yang Zhi's vision. Lu Qian felt that Yang Zhi had been drilling in the officialdom before, so why did he choose Gao Yu? Instead of being scolded by countless people poking their backbones, why not go to Tong Guan, who has been in the military power for a long time, and has repeatedly used soldiers in Western Xia? Wouldn't Yang Zhi's skills be useful in that way?
Besides, there are still folded houses there. The Zhejia family is the real general of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also reused by Tong Guan, Xu Neng remembers a little bit of the old relationship between the ancestors and the two families, and pulls him along. In later generations, the old lady of the Yang family in the drama should actually be said to be the old lady. Yang Zhe's two families are real in-laws, and Yang Wenguang has only been dead for forty years.
This Yang Zhi was born in Kansai, why didn't he want to go back?
"What did the big boss say? I Yang Zhi is a dignified man, even if I bend my knees to serve Gao Yu, a greedy villain, I can't kneel down and castrate-" Yang Zhi's face was positive, but he avoided talking about it. Lu Qian secretly made a note of this.
Lu Zhishen didn't say much on the side, and nodded loudly at this time, "Brother Yang's words are reasonable, and he is really a good man." ”
Lu Qian was stunned when he heard this, this flower monk's brain didn't get into the water, right? Aren't the big and small species all under Tong Guan's orders?
As a result, Lu Zhishen rolled his eyes, "That's the current emperor's bastard." actually handed over the army to a bird man, which is really pickled. What can the two of the big and small species do about each other? I can only listen to the dispatch of the eunuch. A good man throws himself into the battlefield, just like Iruda, who obeys orders under the account of the small species of the Minister, and the one who works is the Minor Race, but not the eunuch of Tong Guan. ”
Lu Qian opened his mouth again, Lu Zhishen's words were so reasonable, he was speechless.
