Chapter 277: Why Don't You Die?

There are many officials standing on the mountain bag, including Wang Fangnian, the county governor of Suqian, the county is in Xipu, and the chief bookkeeper is Zhong Anling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are also Liu Shijing of Shuyang County, Han Jingcun of the county, Chen Neng, the chief bookkeeper, Liu Zhuo, who is stationed in Suqian and Tao, and Li Zigu, who is stationed in Suqian and Guirendi, and so on.

In addition to the local officials in Suqian, most of them have nothing to do with the "Barrage River" project, but the Governor is here, how rare is this opportunity?

There are no excuses, and there are also excuses to find them.

For example, local officials in Shuyang think that after the "Dama River" is dug up, the lake water will flow into Shiqiu Lake well, but Shiqiu Lake also has Sangxu Lake and Shuoxiang Lake in the territory of the river, so it is related to county affairs.

They also had an excuse, and under the leadership of Liu Shijing, the magistrate, they hurried to the side of Shi Kefa, the governor of Caoyun.

Yang He visited him earlier, and everyone had nothing to do with themselves, so they only stood aside with great interest to watch, especially Liu Shijing, the county governor of Shuyang, who looked Yang He up and down thoughtfully.

But when it comes to the things of the township warriors in various places, everyone came to the spirit, especially when it comes to Suqian, Shi Kefa has not yet spoken, and Zhong Anling, the chief bookkeeper of Suqian County, can't sit still.

He came out and said, "Of course not. ”

He said: "There have long been regulations on the affairs of the township soldiers, and all states and counties are under local jurisdiction. If Yang Lian wants to unite the township soldiers of the two places, he can first report to Suzhou Zun, and then discuss with Wang Xianzun and the lower officials. How can you be reckless and meddle in the affairs of your own county? ”

Zhong Anling's eyes were a little cold, and there were some thorns when he spoke.

He was in charge of river defense in Suqian County, and concurrently served as the general manager of Lian, and when he came out at this time, his face was a little uncertain.

He looked at Yang He, and there was jealousy in the coldness.

Yes, it's jealousy, I want him Zhong Anling to study hard for many years, and finally won the lift, but decades have passed, he has become an old lifter, almost fifty years old, and he is still in the official position of Jiupin, and this life is obviously only Jipin.

And the kid on the other side, there is only one showman, he is not a lifter, and the milk has not dried up, the family is not finished, and there is no son, and now he is the official position of Qipin, and he has a bright future.

Every time he thinks about it, jealousy and unwillingness tear his heart like a poisonous snake.

Earlier, it was none of his business, jealousy was jealousy, he still stood aside silently and endured, and now this guy still wants to meddle in his own affairs, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!

Although Mr. Lian is not doing a good job, it doesn't mean that he can accept others to take away his power.

So he stepped forward.

Shi Kefa's brows furrowed slightly, and Zhong Anling's tone made him uncomfortable, although he was right.

It's just that he has been an official for many years, and he has been in contact with such an official the most in his life, he is incompetent, but he is eager to fight for power and profit, and he feels the atmosphere of officialdom even more in his heart, and he is a little dislike for Zhong Anling.

He said to Yang Daodao: "Be cautious, if the two places are united, what do you think?" ”

Yang He glanced at Zhong Anling and said: "Governor, the things on the battlefield are the most ever-changing, thieves come and go like the wind, if all parties discuss it, I'm afraid the thieves won't be able to see it." If the Suqian Township soldiers are not under the direct command of the lower officials, the lower officials will be powerless. The matter of Suqian, only Zhong Lian found a way to solve it. ”

Zhong Anling was anxious, he was greedy for power, but his family knew his own affairs, and he couldn't do anything about those thieves.

Because of this incident, the county has blamed him many times, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that his official position will not be guaranteed.

He said: "How can Mr. Yang Lian shirk his responsibility like this? You have strong soldiers and horses, and you have defeated thieves several times, so you can't bear to see Linxian suffer? Could it be that if you read the poetry and books of the sages, you don't have a little heart for the country and the people? ”

Yang He was angry with him: "If you want the horse to run fast and not give the horse grazing, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" Don't you think you're good at it? You're on. ”

Zhong Anling said as a matter of course: "In terms of military affairs, the lower officials are indeed inferior to Yang Lian, if they fight, I am afraid that they will lose their soldiers and horses, and they will die and injure the sons and daughters of Suqian County in vain." Therefore, I still have to Yang Lian always stand up......"

Yang He erupted: "Why can I win the war and you lose?" You're such a piece of waste, why don't you die? ”

Yang He shouted loudly, pointed his finger at Zhong Anling's nose, and scolded him angrily.

There was no sound on the mountain bag, and everyone was stunned, even Shi Kefa looked at Yang He in surprise, as if he had met him for the first time.

Zhong Anling trembled all over, and his whole body trembled: "Heartbroken, really heartbroken." People say that you are domineering, domineering and dictatorial, disrespectful to superiors, disrespectful to colleagues, and embezzling spoils of war, etc., but the subordinates still don't believe it, but now they believe it. ”

He trembled, looking very aggrieved, as if as a "senior" official, he was so insulted by his juniors, his heart was like ashes, and his eyes were hazy with tears.

But in his tone, there was a vicious counterattack, which seemed to touch the heartstrings of the governor, making him think that this man was arrogant and aggressive, and could not be reused.

Dai Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Cao River Guard, and Gu Daoxing, the general of the staff, glanced at each other, this kind of biting between literati is really interesting to watch, it is not their own business, they are happy to watch a good show on the side.

At the same time, Yang He suddenly became angry, which also shocked the two of them, the gentle and elegant appearance of the young Lian Zong earlier was as sharp as a knife in a blink of an eye, and it seemed that if he didn't say a word, he would have to splash blood for five steps, it seemed that this young man was not easy to mess with.

The officials next to him also frowned, and they were a little displeased with Yang He, as Master Zhong said, this person was indeed domineering.

How can you say that Zhong Anling is also a senior, an official with old qualifications, you are a member of Yanghe District, and you can fight a little battle, so you don't take everyone seriously? If you are a colleague in the future, how should you get along with you? You're the boss, isn't everyone more miserable?

The staff behind Shi Kefa watched with great interest, especially the young staff, their eyes flashed with excitement.

Some of the young curtain actors even had a look of adoration in their eyes.

For these zombie-like officials, they hate and are helpless.

At this time, Yang Lian was always happy to blame them, and directly let them die, and they also felt happy in their hearts.

At the same time, when everyone heard the word "loot", their hearts moved.

Yang He glanced at it, everyone's expressions were vivid, in fact, the outburst just now was anger on the one hand, and he did it intentionally on the other.

As a businessman in later generations, he understood what profit maximization is and what performance is.

He just wants to give people the impression that he is enterprising, has outstanding ability, and at the same time is very sharp, giving people the feeling of not having a city, which makes many people angry and let down their guard.

After all, the world generally thinks that the old fritters in officialdom are more difficult to deal with, so it is still easy for some domineering young people to deal with.

This image is also more suitable for him, young people must have the appearance of young people, after all, he is only nineteen years old "this year", how can he be like seventy or eighty years old after the vicissitudes of life?

He also wants to give the world the impression that he is not a good talker, he is not something that can be bullied casually, and he also avoids a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Whether in this era or in the future, there is an iron law, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

This kind of inferior nature will not change in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

In the troubled times, he Yang He doesn't need others to love him, just that others are afraid of him.

In this way, there are many unnecessary troubles and less trouble, and people who are really in need and willing to cooperate will come to cooperate.

He looked at Zhong Anling and said angrily: "If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work!" My Yang He training is indeed invincible, invincible, several victories, more thieves killed than once, Gao Xianzun and Suzhou Zun are always happy. But that doesn't mean I can be driven by others to do those extra jobs! ”

He quietly advertised himself, blew the credit, and continued to say angrily: "As for some of the seized booty, yes, after all parties share the profits, I will eat the rest!" So what? I'm waiting to fight the thieves with my head up, and I'm only captured, can't I eat? ”

He said angrily: "After winning the battle, the soldiers should be rewarded, usually their work and food silver is only five yuan a month, do you know what five yuan can do?" Now the price of rice is more than two taels per stone! Don't eat the capture, do the soldiers eat the northwest wind? ”

Zhong Anling's face turned red and pointed at Yang Daodao: "You...... You ......"

Everyone next to him fell into deep thought, so it was not easy for Yang Lian to speak.

At the same time, everyone's hearts moved, although this Yang River is a little domineering, but it is also understandable, after all, he is young.

And he fights sharply, and every time he comes with good news, if he has such a subordinate, then he will lie down and receive credit.

In this way, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The general Dai Guozhu and the general Gu Daoxing glanced at Zhong Anling, and after the war, the capture belonged to the victorious soldiers, this is the rule of various places, and the surname Zhong mentioned this matter, and he had ill intentions.

Finally, Yang Hedao: "For the sake of the soldiers' rations, although the official has harvested, most of it is also invested in the reclamation of wasteland. Such a loyal heart for the country has been blamed, and the people who accuse them are blind, and they should be thundered by the sky. ”

Everyone next to him had different expressions, and Zhong Anling was even more bruised.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and it seemed that everyone's sympathy for him was gone, and he was scolded for nothing?

Shi Kefa also said curiously: "Shen Yan, you still reclaim wasteland? ”

Yang Daodao: "Hui Governor, yes, Xia Guan lives on the north bank of the big river, and there is quite a bit of wasteland along the river. The lower official asked the soldiers to reclaim the fields, and said to Gao County, he was also very supportive, and the acres of reclaimed fields were not accepted for three years. When they went to Pizhou, the lower officials were also ready to reclaim wasteland and reduce the burden of rations on the warehouses in the state city. I also hope to get the support of the state, and within three to five years, let the soldiers' acres of land not accept grains, and give them the opportunity to cultivate and recuperate. ”

Shi Kefa said: "This is the way it should be. ”

He was very pleased: "It's hard for you." ”

The Ming Dynasty has always been very supportive of the military and civilians in reclaiming wasteland, such as no tax for three or five years, or only a small amount of cattle and silver per hectare of land after three years of maturity, and even tax-free grain for more than ten years in many places.

Of course, policy is policy, and it is easy for the people to reclaim wasteland, but it is difficult to establish a land deed in a house, unless enough benefits are given to the officials in the house.

They often change their orders at the same time, or the previous officials are transferred, and the next officials ignore it, and they will tax the acres of land cultivated by the people, or the officials and gentry will pass it on and transfer their own taxes and grains to these people.

The soil quality of Huai'an Province is not good, floods and droughts are frequent, even after the wasteland is cleared, there is often no harvest in the first year, a small harvest in the second year, and barely some harvest in the third year.

If it is taxed, or passed on, and the income cannot make ends meet, is it not equivalent to doing it in vain? Be a fool for one's pains?

The people reclaimed the land for harvest, not for the purpose of pasting it upside down, and for various reasons, they were unwilling to reclaim the wasteland.

However, at least in name, local governments encourage military and civilian people to reclaim wasteland.

Therefore, Shi Kefa was pleased with Yang He's initiative to reduce the burden on the government.

As for Yang He, he only needs to delay it for three years, and five years is better, even if he comes up with some silver. In terms of positive taxation, the summer tax and autumn grain of the entire Huai'an Mansion is less than 400,000 stone grain, which is even less when exchanged for silver.

And when he reclaims wasteland, he will not conflict with interest groups for the time being, after all, there is not much else in Daming at this time, that is, there is a lot of wasteland.

Not to mention the whole of Henan at present, or Fengyang Mansion in the south, Luzhou Mansion and other places, after all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, they are raging again, and they are about to become scorched earth ruins, and the acres of plaster have become hazel famine, and there are no people for thousands of miles.

It is other places, such as when Xu Biao, the new governor of Baoding, entered Beijing, he told the emperor that he went north from Jianghuai, passing thousands of miles, often walking for several days and nights, and never met a person ploughing the fields on the way.

Everywhere the chickens and dogs are silent, the road is full of basil, the material resources have been exhausted, the emperor has almost no people, and there is no land.

Therefore, for Yang He, at this time, he did not lack land, only population, and lacked reclaimed silver taels and rations.

……

At this time, anyone can see Shi Duchen's love and maintenance of Yang Lian, and Wang Fangnian, the magistrate of Suqian, coughed, and came out and said: "In fact, the lower officials think that as long as Lord Yang reports afterwards and Suzhou Zun agrees, it is not impossible for the Suqian township soldiers to return to the state to command." ”

Zhong Anling looked at Wang Fangnian incredulously, he came out to interfere, and there was no Wang Fangnian's instruction behind him.

But now this surnamed Wang gently plucked himself out, leaving a good impression on the governor and the surnamed Yang, and he became a wicked person?

For a while, he was a little sad and depressed, could he really be old?

Sure enough, Shi Kefa was very happy and approved: "Wang Zhixian is a person who really works solidly, and this governor has also heard of you, and you are quite effective in controlling water and river defense." ”

Wang Zhixian bowed down and said: "In terms of reading, the lower officials dare not compare with the governors, but the lower officials have also read the sage books, the four words 'state affairs are important', and the lower officials dare not forget it for a day." ”

Zhong Anling's blood rushed straight to his head, and the word "shameless" almost rushed out of his throat, and he swallowed it back raw, only to make his face even more bruised.

Shi Kefa's mind was much more relaxed, he had been thinking about letting Yang He control the township soldiers of Suining and Suqian County, so as to better prevent the harassment of the Qingshan thieves in Pizhou, and now this goal has finally been achieved.

And he tried to act in all directions, rarely gave direct orders, and consulted with the officials, and at this time he was able to achieve this goal, and his heart was happy.

It's just that there are such disputes in the subordinate counties within the state, and if the township soldiers in Haizhou are also under the control of Yang He, I don't know what kind of trouble will arise, it seems that this matter must be more prudently coordinated.

And Yang He left him with the impression that he was indeed a person who did things, vigorous and resolute, not as good as those mediocre officials who were in the mud, such a young man was what he needed.

It's just that maybe it's because of his youth, or maybe his experience when he fled, his temperament is too strong, and this steel is easy to break, and he needs more protection.

It seems that Pi Hailian should still wait for his own parties to coordinate this matter, especially on the issue of how to control it, otherwise with this Yang He's temperament, the officialdom of all states and counties will be troubled by him.

Shi Kefa talked to Yang He about something again, and Yang He took the opportunity to ask him for some support in terms of money, food, armor, weapons, etc.

In the end, all aspects of the matter came to an end, Shi Kefa had many things, and the meeting with Yang He was only one, and the current "barrage river" project was the focus.

He continued to discuss river affairs with the officials, and the blood in the center was overwhelming, and he also asked Yang He about his views on river defense.

Yang Daodao: "The Yellow River is close to Luoma Lake, this lake is the flooding place after the Yellow River seizes Si, and there is the confluence of Yi, Si and Mu waters, although it can help transport waterways, but every time it encounters a flood, it will wash away the lakeside transport channel, open the river lagoon, it is really necessary. ”

He said: "However, the officials thought that although the barrage river was opened, the lake water flowed into Shiqiu Lake, and then entered Shuoxiang and other lakes through the river, and the light was like this, I am afraid that it would be insufficient. It is best to dig the river and enter the Mu River and other places, so that the water discharge of the Llama Lake will be more effective. ”

He said: "Even so, in the end, it is still a symptom rather than a cure, and the lower officials feel that it is better to completely separate the river and the river, like the canal." ”

Shi Kefa smiled slightly, and some people next to him were surprised, some approved, and some disagreed.

It's not that no one thought of opening more rivers, or completely separating the rivers, but where is the money and food?

How many people, how many taels of silver, and how many rations are needed for such a huge project?

Can the local and Beijing warehouses afford it?

So what this surnamed Yang said was nonsense.

Yang He also saw that some people didn't think so, especially the two Guan He knew the same thing, but he didn't care.

He said this just to make an impression on Shi Kefa.

The impression of the superior on his subordinates is very important, he thinks that you can only do the county, and you are the county governor for a lifetime.

He thinks that if you have the ability to be the governor of the prefecture, or even the governor of the prefect, you will have the possibility of promotion.

Yang He wants to give Shi Kefa this impression, not only in the military, but also in civil affairs, and he is not ignorant.

In this way, when there is a relevant seat in the future, he may think about himself.

Finally, looking at the time, Yang He said goodbye, and he was still quite satisfied with seeing him today, and he came from Pizhou under the scorching sun, and he still had a harvest.

Shi Kefa will stay in the shed today, and his staff member Yan Ermei smiled and said, "Let the students send Yang Lian to him." ”

……

Looking at the back of Yang He and his subordinates leaving, Shi Kefa stood on the mountain bag and was silent for a long time.

The young man made a deep impression on him, and there was a kind of ...... An indescribable feeling.

On the way to the river construction site, his staff member Yao Kang once again persuaded him to take advantage of this opportunity to let Yang He take up the post of Pihai Lian.

He even thinks that he can be bolder, when this is an experiment and a way of thinking, slowly let Yang He take charge of the township soldiers in Huai'an Mansion, and see if he can train a sharp army for the Ming Dynasty.

He held that the officers and men were not able to be used, and the township soldiers could be used, but they were only distributed in one state and one county, and each of them was doing its own thing, and its strength was not concentrated.

Of course, in order to avoid material discussions, the township soldiers can not go out of the house or the province first, but in this way, they can also mobilize the power of the prefectures and counties.

There are special commands and management, which can also avoid the perfunctory work of the local officials.

He said: "Martial artists don't know kindness, Ruozuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing are everywhere. It's not that I don't have a scholar who is both civil and military, just like Shen Kun, the champion Gong, Yang He at the moment, etc., why not be bold and let them take charge of military training? In the future, training a strong army can also be used as an example for other localities. ”

Shi Kefa hesitated, and Yao Kang persuaded loudly: "The situation in the Ming Dynasty is as dangerous as an egg, and at this juncture, you must not be conservative and hesitate, this is a good opportunity." ”

Liang Jiu Shi Kefa sighed: "I'm afraid that the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, let's do it step by step, otherwise Yang He will end up with Shen Kun, it will be a pity." ”

Yao Kang said coldly: "The eldest husband acts, he should dare to be the first in the world, just a showman, if he dies because of this, he will die a well-deserved death." ”

Although the sun was scorching, after listening to Yao Kang's words, Shi Kefa still felt a chill in his heart, and just shook his head.
