Chapter 24: Shen Yourong
By September, all the Liao people in the Thirteen Mountains had already been resettled, and most of the Liao people had already reclaimed the wasteland they had been assigned to them, and the seeds had been sown, and they could start building their houses.
The Royal Construction Team has completed the construction of Wang Gong Factory and moved all of them to Qian'an. They first built a brick and tile factory by the river, and the bricks and tiles were first built on credit for the Liao people, and a large number of carpenters cut wood on the mountain, and also gave them to the Liao people on credit. Then he began to guide the Liao people to build houses. In this process, the Liao people only need to work by themselves, and the items sold on credit can be paid off within three years.
After the brickyard took soil from the river, it was equivalent to clearing the riverbank, and the construction team began to build the embankment. The embankment is compacted with soil, and then the outer slope of the river bank is protected with stones. A culvert is built on the embankment every other mile, which is connected to the canal next to the road, slightly higher than the river level, so that water can be released into the embankment or pumped with a water truck when it is needed, and closed when the water rises.
All the investment in the early stage here was taken out of the internal funds, and Zhu Youxiao wanted to build Qian'an into an agricultural demonstration base, and then promote the experience gained from here to other places, so at any cost, anyway, there is enough money to buy the family now.
Bi Zisu is busy every day, but when he sees a wasteland gradually turning into a village full of smoke and smoke, he is very satisfied. At this time, the eunuchs brought chickens and ducklings and geese, and each family gave ten of each, and said that each poultry only needs to return three eggs next year, and asked if anyone wanted piglets, and they could also provide it, and they would pay fifty catties of meat next year.
Bi Zisu was very curious and asked Li Siqing: "How can there be chickens and ducklings at this season?" ”
Li Siqing smiled and said: "The saint told us a way to hatch poultry, even in the cold winter wax moon can hatch chicks and ducklings, the saint said, raising chickens and ducks can make the energy flow to, forget, anyway, it means that raising chickens and ducks is beneficial." ”
Bi Zisu said: "Since there is such a good way, why don't you tell the farmers everywhere?" ”
Li Siqing smiled and said: "No one listens to the method that Bai said, I tried it in Yan'an Mansion last time, and the saint said that it was a problem that everyone's acceptance ability was not enough, take your time, and you can do it in the end." ”
Bi Zisu didn't say anything more, he heard that eunuchs always like to do experiments when there is a problem, although he doesn't understand what it means, but it seems to have some truth, and let them do it, just take care of the affairs here first.
Li Siqing said again: "Lord Qincha, we still have one last process, which is to formulate the house number, after this thing is done, the river embankment and the truth should be repaired with cement, and then we will hand over all the accounts to you, and we will go to Denglai next." ”
Bi Zisu actually misses these eunuchs a little, they arranged everything in an orderly manner, and they just need to keep signing and agreeing. However, he also knew that it was impossible to use eunuchs to govern the place, and the emperor had great goals, and the eunuchs were to help the emperor find a way to govern.
And I am afraid that there will be a period of time here, because the emperor wants to open an iron mine factory in Qian'an.
At the end of June of the second year of the Apocalypse, Yang Guanggao took Man Gui to Phi Island. They went to sea from Tianjin, came to Denglai, and after meeting with the governor Yuan Keli, they went to the General Military Mansion to meet Shen Yourong.
Shen Yourong is sixty-five years old, is a famous naval general of the Ming Dynasty, once participated in the anti-Japanese rescue of Taiwan, the anti-Japanese rescue of Penghu, the anti-Japanese shogunate army to save Taiwan, three times to protect Taiwan, the current Denglai general soldier.
Previously, Shen Yourong wrote a letter to complain that the Liao people were not allowed to cross the sea, and after pulling Tao Lang down first, he dispatched more than a dozen sea ships to bring the Liao people who fled to various islands to Denglai, and so far, there are nearly 40,000 people.
When Yang Guanggao saw Shen Yourong, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Shen Yourong was so shocked that he was about to dodge, but Man Gui hugged him from behind and said, "Your Majesty, please don't hide from the general." “
Shen Yourong was old after all, and after Man Gui hugged him, he couldn't break free for a while, and watched Yang Guanggao kowtow three times. Only then did Man Gui let go of him and said, "If you offend, the holy order will not be disobeyed." Then he knelt down and rattled three more times.
Shen Yourong stepped forward to help Yang Guanggao up, then stepped back to help Man Gui up, and said in a loud voice: "Why is this, why is this?" “
After Yang Guanggao got up, he bowed his hand to Shen Yourong and said, "First of all, the gift that the Holy Lord entrusted me to bring to General Shen, this is Guanggao's own gift. “
Shen Yourong was even more surprised, Yang Guanggao said: "After the saint heard about the deeds of Shen Zongbing, he asked Guanggao to kowtow to Shen Zongbing three times for him, so as to thank Shen Zongbing for saving Taiwan, protecting Penghu, helping the people of Liao, and what Qianyi did was also ordered by the saint." “
When Shen Yourong heard this, tears had already flowed on his face, he knelt down, kowtowed a few times in the direction of Jingshi, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, if Weichen can be so valued by the emperor, he will die immediately, and he is also willing." “
Yang Guanggao helped Shen Yourong up and said: "The saint is full of praise for General Shen, and he wants Guanggao to give a message, please take care of General Shen's body, and discover more naval generals for the country. “
Shen Yourong remembered one thing at this time, not long ago he met Qi Zuoguo, the commander of Dengzhou Wei, he was the eldest son of Qi Jiguang, and the four of them compiled the "Qi Shaobao Annals", but after the completion of the annals, Qi Zuoguo and others were unable to publish it, and Shen Yourong generously donated money to help them make this book available. The four brothers were grateful.
And these four people are all superb in martial arts, like the third Qi Changguo is born in martial arts, and all have literary talents, like the old four Qi Baoguo is a Xiusheng (a first-class Xiucai), and the fifth Qi Xingguo is also a Xiucai, so it is not easy to find people who are both civil and military and have family backgrounds, do you want to pull them into the water army?
So he tentatively told the situation of the four brothers, revealing that he wanted to recruit them into the water army. Yang Guanggao was overjoyed and said: "Since he is the son of Qi Shuai, there is naturally no problem, and the saint also respects Qi Shuai, if he hears this news, he will definitely be happy to see it." Guanggao knew that General Shen was worried about their original duties, so I immediately wrote to report to the Holy Lord, and there would be a response soon. “
Shen Yourong was overjoyed, and Yang Guanggao said again: "Guanggao is here, there are still some small things to trouble General Shen, I will live in Zhenjiang and go, and the situation along the route is unknown, so I also ask General Shen for help." “
Shen Yourong said: "There are some charts in the army, so let's give you a copy of the charts, and then order someone to be a guide and take you there." “
All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
