Chapter 236: Corporal Wang Mang's Humility?
In late February, Yang Xuan led his troops into Chengdu, due to the war damage caused by the Lian War, especially the invasion of the Manchu Eight Banners, burning and killing and plundering along the way, the people fled a lot, looking from afar, there were abandoned houses everywhere, the huge Chengdu Plain was full of flowing rivers, and often walked for miles to meet a few families.

Last year, Zhang Xianzhong and Yang Xuan also led their troops to pass through the Chengdu Plain, and felt that although the place was very damaged, there were not many people who fled the famine, and the place was still alive.
But a few months later, when I returned to Chengdu, the principle of peace was completely different.
From a distance, he saw more than a dozen farmers plowing in front of him, and when he came to the edge of the ridge, he saw the farmers who were quite panicked, Yang Xuan arched his hand and said: "Big brother, don't panic, in Xia Yang Xuan, he was promoted by everyone to be the governor of SC." ”
When the old peasant heard this, he burst into tears, regardless of the dampness of the land, knelt down and cried: "My lord, it is really hell on earth, you, you have finally led your troops here, we can be saved."
My lord, don't you know how we've spent the past two months? In the past, although Zhang Xianzhong plundered the army, he mainly robbed the rich and big families, and as long as we ordinary people did not provoke them, everyone would be safe.
But the Tartars are not human, they kill people when they see them, they have no humanity, they often use the excuse of hiding the righteous army, and they can't say why, the whole village is killed, my lord, they kill all men, women, children, and children, some women, children, and children. ”
This is even worse than the little devil entering the village, hearing what the old man said, Yang Xuan blamed himself: "The old man is tired, he is late in the lower department, everyone is tired." ”
When everyone heard this, they were in pain.
Yang Xuan arrived in a very heavy mood, took a guard brigade and walked in the front, and hurried to Chengdu City, and saw that the city was even more dilapidated from a distance.
Many houses were burned down in each street, and there were many begging people on both sides of the road, and everyone walked on the road in a daze, with sad faces.
Hearing that Yang Xuan led his troops into the city, the people nearby were boiling, everyone gathered around, and many people were crying.
Dismounted and picked up an old man, holding back tears Yang Xuan sighed: "Fellow villagers, everyone has suffered, fellow villagers, although the Tartars can kill our relatives, although the Tartars can burn down our houses, and although the Tartars can destroy our arable land, the Tartars cannot stop our determination and courage to fight back against ****."
Folks, believe me, everything will be fine. ”
The old man stood up tremblingly and said: "My lord, it is really hell on earth, after the Tartars entered the city, they sealed the knife three days later, not only killed people, robbed money and goods, but also burned houses."
My lord, I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world, you don't know that we are worse off than pigs and dogs in the past. ”
Returning to the lobby of the governor's yamen, it was already dilapidated, and the cold wind blew in outside, making people feel quite cold, and looked at the next senator Zhao Sixuan, Chengdu prefect Yan Ximing, Tongzhi Zou Jianchen, Huayang Ling Yang Youren and others, Yang Xuan asked: "Let's all discuss together, what is the most important thing to restore now, what can we do to restore the prosperity of the past?" ”
It took a night to quickly draft the provisions and appoint people to enforce them.
1. Considering that the damage to Dujiangyan is very serious, Senator Zhao Sixuan and Liu Weiming, the general of the 6th town, led the people to repair Dujiangyan before the arrival of the flood season and guide the river water into the Minjiang River.
2. Due to the destruction and plundering of the Great Western Army and the Qing Army, the price of grain around Chengdu was bought 3 taels of silver, and the price of surrounding grain was bought 2 taels of silver.
3. At the four gates of Chengdu Prefecture, porridge sheds were set up in various surrounding counties, and displaced people were resettled, and land was persuaded to be allocated for official tun and people's tun.
4. In the past, there was this kind of talk, seventy percent of the land in the Chengdu Plain belonged to the palace, two percent belonged to the military tun, and one percent belonged to the people.
5. Encourage the local gentry and large households to take out grain for the Mintun, and for all the Mintun, the Yamen can lend each household 3 loads of grain, and return it after the harvest.
6. Considering that the damage to the Chengdu Plain is very serious, many people fled to southern and northern Sichuan, and sent people to write slogans with lime at dangerous places in various places to encourage everyone to return to their hometowns.
7. Carry out military cantonment around Chengdu, and relocate 30,000 households from various counties under its jurisdiction to carry out civilian cantonment in Chengdu.
In this way, when the lamp is held, the tired body is dragged into the back hall, and what is surprising is that the back hall has not only been renovated, but also has a rough look, and there are hundreds of people.
The county lord Zhu Shuying came out with a smile on his face, looked at the man with a straight face, and said with a smile: "Zixiu, why do you have a straight face?"
This time I entered Chengdu, you don't know how many treasures I found? Many of them were used in the palace in the past, and in the past, the maids and servants of the palace often sent them over every once in a while.
Also, if you look at the decorations in the house, and the clothes of the slaves, is it different from the past?
In the past, those people said that cheap concubines were counterfeits, and now so many people have proved that I am the lord of Shu Wangfu who is like a fake, I want everyone to see it, and I will never let you be criticized again. ”
Yang Xuan felt particularly irritable, and broke free of the other party's small hand and said angrily: "Insatiable, I don't know whether to live or die, no wonder Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates will slaughter your Ming clan relatives everywhere."
Your clan relatives complained about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's cruelty, but you don't know what crimes your Ming clan relatives committed against the people?
The entire Chengdu Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, and it is occupied by a small half of your Shu king's relatives, and tens of thousands of your Shu king's relatives do not produce, one by one, and they don't care about the life and death of the people. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Shuying was quite aggrieved and sat on the ground crying bitterly.
Huang Daiyun next to him couldn't get used to it, and reproached: "Zixiu, don't blame your sister, my sister is good for you."
In the past, many people slandered my sister openly and secretly saying that she was a fake county lord, and you didn't know that my sister was crying silently on the side in the past.
Now that you are developed, you have become a hero admired by thousands of people, and there are so many people who have proved the identity of your sister, and my sister is happy and wants to surprise you.
Don't you know that for the sake of your official reputation, our two sisters are already very thrifty, how do you know that you yelled and yelled without saying a word when you got home, how can you stand it like this? ”
Returning to the Taishi chair, Yang Xuan sighed and said: "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, the biggest emotion when I see all kinds of misery in the past few years is that many people are insatiable, so they have been punished by God."
I'm in a hurry, and you didn't just get there today.
In this way, I think that the servants in the house can be kept to about 2 percent, and I want four elders to follow four miscellaneous servants.
Each of you has two personal maids, and two healthy women can serve you, and all of us have feet and hands, why do we have to serve so many people? ”
Huang Daiyun forced out a smile and asked, "My lord, this, this is not in accordance with the regulations, I heard my sister say that the wife of the governor of Yamen in the past, what about this number?"
Besides, now that the war is in chaos, we will release everyone, isn't this not a way to live for everyone, isn't this harming everyone? ”
Shaking his head, Yang Xuan smiled: "How can this harm everyone?" At that time, each person can be given ten taels of silver as severance pay, and if they are tuntian, we can even subsidize the grain and silver, and if they are willing to do business, we can also join the family.
Tell everyone, we don't charge any interest on these, and you can return the principal after you make money. ”
Staring at the man on the Taishi chair, Zhu Shuying shook her head and said, "Zixiu, you are so humble, I am afraid that others will be jealous."
You think that I put on the pomp of the county lord just to enjoy, don't you know that many people say that you are as humble as the corporal Wang Mang back then, and you harbor evil intentions. ”
Yang Xuan was shocked, one hand was on the Taishi chair and he couldn't speak for a long time, and he glared at the other party for a long time and said: "Reputation is all over the world, slander is also all over the world, this is what I know."
You can make suggestions, but I just want you to follow them, is that always okay? ”
At this point, it doesn't hurt to say anything, the two of them have no choice but to comply.
But there are still some people who are unwilling, especially some young girls, as the protagonist of the head of a party, will not all be thrown on the street, so that people can find some young generals and buy dowries to marry out.
In addition to dismissing the family, the two went to the city gate to give porridge to various sheds.
