On that day, Yang He spent a day collecting cottages, and those that could be packed and taken away would never be left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

All kinds of materials have collected countless quantities, plus the seized silver and rice noodles, it is really piled up, fortunately many wheelbarrows were found in the village, there are more than 300 vehicles, and I don't know how many villages have been looted by the Tongshan bandits, which are just used to transport rice and grain.

But even so, it had to be transported for many days, a wheelbarrow carrying three stones, three hundred trucks carrying no more than a thousand stones, and more than six thousand stones of rice and grain, needed to be transported six times.

There are many other materials, and Tongshanzhai is nearly 100 miles away from Xin'anzhuang......

Today is the 24th day of the lunar month, and I am afraid that it will be transported until the beginning of the first month of next year.

But with silver rice income, go a few more trips, work harder, what's the matter?

Looking at the seizures like a mountain, from the Yang River down, the officers and soldiers of Xin'anzhuang, and the heroes of the villages who accompanied the army, all smiled so much that they couldn't see their eyes.

After these seizures, Yang He was really relieved, and for a long time, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing under his command.

After the grain, rice and silver are put into storage, he will also have a total of 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of rice and flour.

For the current Yang River, this is also a staggering number.

He has always been generous to his subordinates, and the young and strong supply at least two catties of rice a day, and the women and children also have more than one catty, with an average of one and a half catties, so his Xin'an Zhuangmin consumes an average of forty-five catties of rice and flour per person per month, five hundred and forty catties a year, which is equivalent to two stones and eight buckets.

Not to mention that the population of Xin'anzhuang is only 1,000 and 2,000 now, even if it expands to 3,000 or 4,000 people, 10,000 stone of rice and grain, it is enough for them to eat for a year.

There is also silver, and now the salary of the Zhuang soldiers is not bonus, on average, five cents of silver per person per month, 1,200 people, about 600 taels of silver per month, and 7,000 taels a year.

The 100,000 taels of silver in stock can be used for a long time.

Needless to say, all kinds of weapons were seized, even if the war horses were intact, 23 horses were captured this time, and there are now a total of 45 horses in Xin'anzhuang.

There are also thirteen dead horses, which can also be carried back to eat meat, one horse weighs at least a few hundred kilograms, and thirteen horses, and they can eat meat for a long time.

In this battle, the Tongshan village was damaged by the bandits who fled, but it was generally intact, especially the scope was very large, no wonder the four or five thousand Tongshan bandits gathered here, and after patrolling the entire cottage, Yang He also decided not to destroy it.

Even if he leaves, the stockade is still like this, and he can't afford to occupy it now, but when he comes in the future, no one will dare to rob him.

On the 25th day of the lunar month, Yang He triumphantly took the class, escorted many materials, and returned in a mighty manner.

……

Like a thunderclap, the news of Xin'anzhuang's defeat of the Tongshan bandits came out, and the Quartet shook and boiled.

On the way back with the booty, the villages along the way were sensational, Yang Xianggong won again, and this time he robbed - no, so many grain and rice materials were captured, and sure enough, if he fought with Xin'anzhuang, there was no invincible.

Along the way, the villagers pointed and pointed, exclaimed, and the returning army was all happy, that is, the heroes of the villages and villages who followed the army, and they were all arrogant and honored.

Yang He temporarily pledged the silver back to Xin'anzhuang, and hoarded the grain and rice in Jiaoshanzhuang, and in the coming year, he will also focus on the operation here.

When he was in Jiaoshan Villa, Yang He carried out a meritorious reward, about 5,000 taels of silver, 500 soldiers, more or less, an average of 10 taels of silver, and the heroes who accompanied the army, selected some of the more brave people to be rewarded.

Everyone is happy, the rules of Xin'anzhuang, the soldiers of the battle team are rewarded, just look at the merits of the battle, the reward is more and the reward is less, so the battle is quite fierce The night does not accept Pei Pochuan, and one person won a reward of more than 30 taels.

There is also Li Dayin, a killer soldier, who also won a reward of more than a dozen taels of silver, and when the army is expanded in the future, he can't run away as a captain.

The heroes of each village, the more brave people Dou Wentao, Dou Qing, Sun Li and others, also received silver rewards ranging from five taels to ten taels.

Coupled with the hidden income of the soldiers and heroes of each team, everyone was happy in this battle, and everyone made a fortune.

In this battle, some heroes died with the army, Yang He ordered the ancestral shrine to prepare coffins for them, and they were also buried under the East Mountain, and their families also had a pension of thirty taels of silver, and their family widows could move into Xin'anzhuang and Jiaoshan Villa to live, and the village would arrange work for them.

These bereavement benefits are not costly, but they can win people's hearts to the greatest extent.

At the same time, on the 26th day of the lunar month, in addition to the people of Xin'an Zhuang, Yanghe provided food and wages, and also mobilized thousands of men, women and children from various villages to go to Tongshanzhai to carry materials together.

According to historical data, on the 27th day of the lunar month, Li Qingshan will be defeated, and then tens of thousands of remnants scattered and fled, although Yang He left behind in Tongshanzhai to take care of the materials, all parties in this battle were frightened, but in order to avoid a long night dream, it is better to move the capture back as soon as possible.

It's almost the New Year, and Yang He doesn't want to use force, so there are no twists and turns.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, so on the 28th day of the lunar month, all of Yang He's harvest in Tongshanzhai was moved back.

Even the Nanmen shelf where the silver winter melon is placed, which is carved from iron pear wood, is very luxurious, and the rhinoceros moon mirror, which weighs one ton, Yang He also moved back and placed it in his bedroom.

……

The news of the defeat of the bandits by the new Sui Ning Lian came out, and all parties were shaken, and it was difficult to hide the news, not to mention the county seat, but also the state city.

On the 29th day of the lunar month, Tian An, the chief of staff of Gao Qifeng of Zhixian County, hurriedly came to Xin'anzhuang.

Before sending troops, Yang He had written to inform Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of the county, that when he suddenly heard that the Tongshan bandits were coming, he hurriedly led the township to rush there, but the situation was in a hurry, and he could not understand the teachings and strategies.

At this time, looking at Tian An, Yang He also spoke with emotion, saying that he led five hundred townships to the north, and happened to encounter bandits by the Baima River in Shunheji on the border of Suining.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was talking eloquently, Tian An's expression was a little complicated, and everyone knew what the actual situation was.

This new Lian Zong was bold enough to go out of the country to suppress the Kou without permission, and he won, this courage and ability, for Dong Weng, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Fortunately, the official thing is to have a statement, as the general manager of Lian, Yang He certainly has the power to suppress bandits and capture them in the territory, he said that the bandits are coming, and he leads the troops to the border to resist, this statement is no problem, and all parties can explain it.

He said that at the border, it is at the border, anyway, if the war is won, all parties will not pursue it, just turn a blind eye and pass it, the troubled times are coming, everyone is too late, why bother to offend a red man with a strong army?

The reason why Tian An is good at talking is also because Yang He stuffed him with a big red envelope of one hundred taels of silver, and there are also one thousand taels of silver, which are for the county's old parents.

So on the same day, Tian An went back with a smile, and when he left, he told Yang He that his farewell survey should come down in the first month, and his office in the county seat was also prepared, and he was afraid that he would stay in the county seat for more time in the future.

Yang He was stunned for a moment, Tian An didn't say anything, he almost forgot his official uniform of the ninth grade, and forgot the official position of Sui Ning Lian Zong.

In fact, it is not easy to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, and he was promoted, and even participated in the palace examination and ordered Hanlin, but it only means that the door to officialdom is knocked on, and it is not immediately conferred into the court to be an official.

Generally speaking, all civil officials must be selected by the imperial court officials, and regularly let the scholars draw lots, all the scholars who want to be officials must go to the capital to submit their confessions and report, and then candidates according to the shifts specified by the officials.

For hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, there are too many people who have accumulated official qualifications over the years, the old people in front of them, the old Jinshi have not been arranged, and the new people in the middle of the year want to be officials, and they want to take office in the local area?

Wait for yourself!

There are even people who have not been commissioned for 20 years, lack food and clothing, and die of cold!

However, Yang He's situation is more special, others first have a few official positions, and then there are real vacancies, and they are filled with such and such a ministry.

Yang He first has a certain ministry, and then waits for the arrival of a certain official position.

In fact, it can't be said that Yang He is a nine-rank official, but he just enjoys the treatment of the nine-pin, and is more like a loose official, a high-ranking official and other officials, just like Zheng Shixin, the chief bookkeeper of Suining, he is the master of the nine-pin, and he can be transferred elsewhere to be the official of the nine-pin, but Yang He is very difficult.

Without the position of Sui Ning Lian, it is difficult to say whether he can enjoy the treatment of the Nine Rank Officials.

It is equivalent to having a ministry first, and then enjoying official treatment, and the space is relatively narrow.

However, he didn't care, as long as he had soldiers in his hands, the official position and treatment would only come in a steady stream.

Just like Hai Rui, he doesn't care about being promoted or not, but all parties work together to let him continue to be promoted and leave.

In this regard, the literati of the Ming Dynasty are still very flexible, not to mention that you are a showman, even if you are a child without fame, they can also come up with countless ways to make you rise in an instant.

At present, Yang He's position is still not taken seriously, and there is no need to go to the state capital, or even the yamen of the capital to report and wait.

It's just that Yang He is sharp after all, and when he exterminated the Jiaoshan bandits, it attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, and this cross-border extermination of the Tongshan bandits entered the sight of many people in one state and two counties.

Just like Su Chengxing, the governor of Pizhou, he muttered in his study: "Yang He? The situation is getting more and more unpeaceful, and there should be a general practitioner here in the state city. ”

……

All parties are boiling, and Yang He is already preparing for the New Year.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty also has a holiday from the 29th of the lunar month, and then there is a five-day holiday.

Yang He also ordered a five-day holiday, from the 29th day of the lunar month to the third day of the first lunar month, cheering inside and outside the village.

Before the holiday, Yang He also gave out a red envelope to each person, both adults and children, even those who did not fight, and also had enough money for the New Year.

On the 28th day of the lunar month, it was still a market day, and the civil affairs office purchased a large number of New Year's goods, such as door gods, firecrackers, wine and meat, dry goods, lanterns, candy and snacks, and all households were sent out.

From the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a big banquet will be held, and tables will be set up from the theater square to the street, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten collectively for four days.

Inside and outside the village, jubilant, the atmosphere of the strong New Year spreads, many Zhuang people burst into tears, so many years, it is the best in this year.

Fortunately, he followed Yang Xianggong, and fortunately, he came to Xin'anzhuang.

The recruited soldiers were full of smiles, and they also returned to their hometowns with baskets full of New Year's goods, white flour steamed buns, pork, mutton, horse meat, white candy, cloth, and firecrackers.

In addition to the New Year's goods that were distributed, yesterday was the market day, and they also made a large purchase.

During the Chinese New Year, I ate and drank well every day in Xin'anzhuang, and now I have saved up my military salary and issued a reward for my capture, so I bleed once and let my family have a good New Year.

On the 29th, it also snowed heavily, but the joy of the New Year seemed to spread along Xin'an Zhuangzi and spread around.

Tuoxin'anzhuang's blessing, originally after the surrounding villages were looted by Jiaoshan bandits, this year may be miserable, but now, everyone is smiling, at least the Chinese New Year's Eve white-flour steamed buns can eat a few sticks.

Some of the children of the family joined the army in Xin'anzhuang, and they could even eat wine and meat, put on new clothes, and set off firecrackers happily.

In troubled times, you can live such a year, what is not satisfied?

……

Wind and snow shrouded No. 168 Ying Yan Street, and the goose-feathered snow fluttered one after another.

This is a typical folk small quadrangle, really in line with the imperial court "the common people are only three rooms and five frames, not allowed to use bucket arches, decorated with colors" regulations, the main house is three, but collapsed one, at this time Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng each occupy one.

Then there were two rooms in the east and west wings, and Zhang Songtao moved in and lived in one in the west room.

Pei Pochuan moved in and lived in one east room and three south rooms (also called inverted seats).

At this time, the four roommates at 168 Ying Yan Street also welcomed their fifth roommate.

"Brother Ling, the humidity in the south room is slightly heavier, and this cold winter is ...... Anyway, when it will be fine, I will accompany you on a trip, go to the civil affairs office to get some coal straw back, as well as lanterns, firecrackers or something...... As for the couplet, I asked Brother Songtao to write a pair for you. ”

Zhang Songtao and Hu Yansheng helped to lay the cover silently, and Guan Feng stood without incident, and said to Ling Zhanyun enthusiastically.

Ling Zhanyun's heart was warm, and the brothers in several shops were very enthusiastic, making him feel like a family brother.

After he rescued Pei Pochuan on the battlefield that day, he went with him to the Chinese army position to see Yang Xianggong, Yang He was naturally impressed by him, and after some retention, Ling Zhanyun was incorporated into the sentry team.

After returning to Xin'anzhuang, the Civil Affairs Office assigned him a residence and assigned him to No. 168 Ying'en Street, where he became a roommate of Zhang Songtao, Pei Pochuan and others.

Everything in the village naturally made him curious, and after joining Xin'an Village, he also paid a lot of attention to the treatment in the village.

"At present, in addition to food and lodging, Brother Ling, you are five yuan of silver a month, but you are good at horsemanship, riding and archery, it must be easy to rise, just like Brother Po Chuan, this time he will get thirty-two taels of silver. There are four of us in No. 168, and he is a rich man, and I have discussed with Brother Huyan and them, and we are going to eat a big family. ”

Guan Feng's eyebrows fluttered and he introduced to Ling Zhanyun, and just as he was talking lively, Pei Pochuan's voice sounded: "What kind of bad thing is Brother Guan saying?" ”

I saw Pei Pochuan coming in with a thick quilt: "Brother Ling, the weather is very cold, I happened to be in the market yesterday, and when I saw this futon, I thought about buying you a bed." ”

There was a heat in Ling Zhanyun's heart, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Lao Pei is bothered." ”

Guan Feng took it and shouted: "Wow, this bedding, this cotton is at least one pound and eight cents of silver, and there are ...... Tsk, this cotton stretching technique...... Sure enough, it is a rich man, and this quilt costs a lot of silver. ”

At this time, Zhang Songtao helped Ling Zhanyun lay the bed, and he said loudly: "Brother Ling's family and parents haven't heard from him yet?" You can rest assured, living in No. 168, it is a brother and family, and we will help you find and pay attention to ......"

……

The whole Xin'anzhuang is immersed in joy, and every family is preparing for the New Year, but ......

Hu Yiyi went up and down, inside and out, cleaned the entire house, posted the couplet invited by Mr. Yan, hung a lantern on the gate, and was idle to chat, his brother Hu was employed, and there was once a encounter to go to the horse hanging.

Soon Chen Qiuao also joined in.

The four of them gathered in Hu Cheng's house, sitting on the warm kang, the smoke was billowing inside, Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu both held pipes, and there were snacks such as sugar and fruits on the plate next to them, these were luxury goods, and only Hu Employment and other men who did not have a family were willing to spend.

"100,000!"

Hu Cheng heroically threw out a card, Hu Yiyi played a card of nine cents, Zeng Youyu played a 10,000 yuan, and Chen Qiuao played a rope.

Not surprisingly, Hu Employment was killed, but the harvest was very small, but the cards were played big at the beginning.

"Empty soup." Hu Yiyi played one card, a full deck of forty cards, and he kept counting.

"Branches." He threw another card.

Slowly, Hu Zhiyi's card became bigger: "Ten thousand." ”

"Millions of ......"

"Tens of Millions of ......"

"Wanwan!"

Hu Yiyi swept away, and even ate it to his mouth, which was more than 10,000 times.

Chen Qiuao shook his head, took a penny of silver and pushed it to Hu Yiyi, he had a bitter face, and muttered: "I shouldn't have called you here." ”

He sighed and took out five pieces of silver.

Hu Cheng wanted to pay a tael of silver, he was dumbfounded, and suddenly played tricks: "This card doesn't count." ”

……

No. 1 Xin'anzhuang, this is Yang He's residence, three before and after, in addition to Yang He's four people, there are also Han Daxia's father and son, Qi Youxin's family, and Yan Dezheng's family live in it.

In the third room, Han Daxia counted the silver on the bed with satisfaction, then wrapped it in a soft cloth and hid it in a big box.

He looked to the side, his son Han Guan'er was quietly writing his homework, and there was a satisfied look in his eyes, he said: "After entering the village, I have saved a lot of silver for my father, and the bride price is about the same. ”

Han Guan'er wrote crookedly with a pencil: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." ”

Hearing this, he said: "If the father is not married, how can there be a reason for the son to marry first?" ”

Han Daxia was stunned for a moment, and Han Guan'er continued: "My father is the general manager of the second general, the captain of the sentinel team, and the head of the military affairs hall, and he should take the lead and set an example. ”

Han Daxia's eyes widened, and he was suddenly speechless when he looked at his son's serious expression as he was.

"You say, how about marrying Wanrong to an official?"

Qi Youxin and his wife Zhao Zhongju came back from cleaning Yang Xianggong's mansion, originally his wife was not as diligent and diligent as Sun Zhaodi, Qi You's confidence was a little complaining, no, that Sun Zhaodi is still lying in Yang Xianggong's courtyard, there is no dust, and the dust must be swept out.

And his wife just came back after sweeping, but I am afraid that in Yang Xianggong's mind, the weight of Sun Zhaodi's family will be heavier.

However, after seeing his wife come back, he read hard at the poems and books, and looked at the account book, thinking that he was making a loud noise, and he admired it in his heart, and he was a terrible wife.

Seeing his wife Zhao Zhongju smiling silently, she was wearing a long jacket with a round neck and a lying rabbit, and she had her own grace.

Qi Youxin said to himself again: "This is a little worse than this year, I'm afraid that Lao Han's side can't wait to pass on the ancestry." I have also probed the Xianggong's mouth, his younger brother Yang Qian's side, at least until he is sixteen years old, alas. ”

At this time, Zhao Zhongju's soft voice sounded: "Why do officials go to this side? Don't you understand the temperament of the father-in-law? Doing things well is more important than anything else. ”

She said: "You are a member of the council hall, and in charge of the affairs of the officials, now that Zhuangzi is stable, next year Xianggong will definitely focus more on farming, public works and other things, as long as things are done, give the impression of Xianggong diligently, is not better than anything else?" ”

She said softly: "Officials should study more on weekdays, ask Mr. Yan and Mr. Zhang for advice, Xin'anzhuang is not as good as when they were in Bozhou, everything here is new." We have the affection of an old man, but if you are not motivated, put your mind elsewhere, and there are many people who are afraid that the village will stare at your seat. ”

Qi Youxin was taken aback, he dressed up and gave a deep salute to his wife Zhao Zhongju: "Thank you for the teachings of the good wife, I am almost confused for my husband." ”

……

The hot water bucket is poured down, and there is floor heating in the house, which is very comfortable, and the younger brother and sister Ying'er Qian'er peeled off the strips and played happily in the bucket.

Yang He smiled, scrubbing his body for the two, Minister Yang kept coming in, pouring hot water into the bucket, he smiled and said, "Qian'er Ying'er, will the water be too hot?" ”

Sister Ying'er shouted: "No, thank you, brother minister." ”

Yang He smiled: "Wash it quickly, and you will wear new clothes later." ”

Sister Ying'er slapped the water excitedly and said, "Ah, ah, I'm wearing new clothes." ”

Let his brother take a bath, his younger brother Qian'er was a little shy, and he suddenly said solemnly: "Brother is hard, Qian'er has to read good books and help my brother in the future." ”

Sister Ying'er shouted: "Ying'er will also help her brother in the future." ”

Yang He was quite sweet in his heart, and kissed the two of them on the face dotingly, and said with a smile: "Indeed, you have to read good books, and you will need your assistance in my brother's career in the future." ”

Minister Yang poured water in, and a copper stove next to it was covered, and the best white charcoal was burning in it, and some small and new clothes were drying on it, and it would be warm and warm, and the younger brothers and sisters would be easy to wear.

Minister Yang looked at it, turning his face from time to time, Yang He looked at this scholar, he will be eighteen years old after the New Year, and he is not too young.

He said, "Minister, I have shown you a few women in the village, which one do you like?" After the New Year, it's time for you to get married. ”

Minister Yang's head shook like a rattle, and he said: "Young master, I have seen all the women you mentioned, all of them are as thin as hemp rods, with small buttocks and big breasts...... Do you like that kind of woman with a thin waist? I don't like it. ”

Yang He scolded: "Stinky boy, strange taste." ”

He actually heard Minister Yang say that he likes the female type, and the important point is to be thick, the waist must be very thick, the buttocks must be very large, and the breasts must be bigger, according to Minister Yang, the children born in this way will be healthy and stout.

He doesn't like a graceful, willow-like woman.

It's just such a woman, where can Yang He find it?

Minister Yang opened his mouth and smirked, looking at him, Yang He shook his head helplessly.

He has always regarded Minister Yang as a younger brother, so he can't shoehorn a woman into him, right?

Alas, the three little ones in the family all worry him.

The snow is like hemp, and finally it dances like a pear blossom.

"It's the New Year."

The crackling sound of firecrackers, on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xin'anzhuang held a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and the dense tables were set up on the long street.

The sumptuous wine and food, the hot festivity, let that joy seem to fill the sky all the time.

The New Year has to keep the New Year, and after a long period of hard work, Yang He also took the opportunity to relax his nerves and recruited Han Daxia, Qi Youxin, and Yan Dezheng to play horse hanging.

The four of them fought all night, and finally Yang He came out, and there was the sound of firecrackers outside.

The snow stopped last night, and a bright morning glow appeared on the horizon, which was unparalleled.

Facing the morning glow, Yang He stretched his waist greatly and exhaled a long breath.

The new year began, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

……

Lao Bainiu: Thank you Yueyue, silently look back and wait for the fierce reward of book friends, it will be updated tomorrow, but I will go to Shanghai for three days on the 9th, and I can't say it. (To be continued.) )
