In the lobby of the General's Mansion, Li Yu silently finished reading the "Debt Bill Transaction Bill", and handed it to Zhao Ji and Wang Fang beside him, and the two talked in a low voice while watching, Zhao Ji also glanced at Sun Tingyao and Fan Yongdou from time to time, which scared their hearts thumping.

"That's how you came up with a fundraising method? Sun Boxi, the Great Commander has not treated you badly! Wang Fang sneered and waved the bill in his hand, turned his face to Li Yu and said solemnly, "Fengzhou wants to rise in troubled times, it is necessary to concentrate power in the great commander, we have issued 500,000 taels of bonds, and then open the bond bill transaction will inevitably lead to improper financial resources and speculation prevails, and I Fengzhou's financial power is not known, this law is absolutely undesirable, and the Civic Party advocates increasing commercial taxes." ”

Sun Tingyao settled down and said: "The commercial tax has been levied according to one out of ten, and there is no room for further increase, otherwise it will be dry and fishing, Fengzhou's financial use is too tight, it takes money to repay old accounts, immigrants need money, and it costs money to raise troops to prepare for war, and now it takes money to resettle displaced people, where does the money come from?" It is only possible to open up a wide range of financial resources, and the issuance of bonds is the most effective. In fact, the private sector has long traded bonds in private, who has the ability to stop it? Rather than this, it is better to allow it to be openly traded on the exchange, so that it can collect some red deed money. Wang Fang, your Civic Party is making the most trouble in the House of Representatives, you have come up with a way for me to take a look! ”

Wang Fang was speechless, looking at Sun Tingyao angrily, Li Yu asked lightly, "Have you looked for the three Master Li?" What do they think? ”

"The three Master Li only said that they would ask the Grand Commander to decide." Fan Yongdou replied.

Li Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, Fengzhou is too poor, the people can only barely maintain food and clothing, it is impossible to reach out to them to ask for money, and increasing the commercial tax will drive the merchants away, which is also undesirable, and there is another way - like Emperor Taizu printing treasure money, indiscriminately issuing silver money, but that is drinking water to quench thirst, and the merchant shareholders of the silver banknote bureau will never agree. Merchants can lend you money, the condition is to open a bond exchange, the reason is very good, their money should be circulated and used, can not be frozen on the bond bill for a long time, but the opening of the bond bill transaction will inevitably lead to the weakening of Li Yu's authority, Li Fugui, Li Huai and Li Jianji have nothing to do, and push the problem to Li Yu, Fengzhou's authority is his after all.

"I have no opinion, as long as the House of Representatives approves it, I will approve it." Li Yu nodded.

"I know your plans, but I'm not afraid, the family of Fengzhou is not so easy to run, who dares to do anything wrong, the people of Fengzhou would rather be hungry than cut him down." Zhao Jile said to Sun Tingyao and Fan Yongdou that he believed in knives more and never took them into account to these businessmen.

Fan Yongdou fell to his knees with a flutter and said loudly to Li Yu: "Great Commander, I admit to making small calculations, but I am absolutely loyal to the Great Commander, absolutely loyal to Fengzhou, I dare to swear to the sky, if there are two hearts, I will be thundered by the sky." ”

"The Great Commander, we are afraid, what we are doing is just to keep the net worth and industry, the family of Fengzhou can only be the Great Commander, who dares to have the heart of rebellion, my grandson is the first to disagree." Sun Tingyao was also so frightened that he fell to his knees.

"Get up, Fengzhou didn't kneel and bow, I believe you." Li Yu waved his hand, and turned his eyes to Yang Tingfang and others, there were more than a dozen of these landlords entering the lobby, and there were a lot of people crowded in the courtyard, just looking at it stupidly, Li Yu beckoned to them, and then said solemnly: "The Fengzhou army is helpless to enter the customs and occupy an area, there is a disturbance, I apologize to you, but this move is by no means a forcible occupation of land, the land is still yours, but those people have no food and clothing, wandering around, civil uprisings, plagues may occur at any time, in order to avoid erosion in Fengzhou and Datong, please lend me the land to resettle the displaced people, The compensation can also be negotiated, and it will never make everyone suffer, and when it comes to peace, I will definitely dismiss the displaced people and return the land. ”

"What about the land of Bauktu and the Hetao?" Yang Tingfang was shocked and asked, the landlords discussed all night, and they were tempted to change the land - natural disasters and man-made disasters in the customs are continuous, and they may encounter civil uprisings and plagues at any time to lose their lives, compared to Li Dashuai's Fengzhou, which is as solid as gold, and the order is stable, and the Hetao near the Yellow River, Baoketu has sufficient water sources and fertile land, and Fengzhou's westward expansion has become a foregone conclusion, and it is also a prosperous place sooner or later.

Li Yu smiled slightly and shook his head: "Since it is borrowed land, there is naturally no need to talk about the land in Baoketu and Hetao." ”

"Li Dashuai, we are willing to exchange the land outside the customs, and the land inside the customs is given to you."

"Li Dashuai, you have promised, we are looking forward to getting out!"

……

The landlords quit, experience told them that the more unwilling others were to give, the better things they were, and the landlords who were still a little hesitant immediately figured it out.

"What's going on? I finally got through everyone, but you quit, Lao Fan, Lao Sun, you explain clearly. Yang Tingfang stared at Fan Yongdou and Sun Tingyao and asked, he had a dream of making a fortune last night, but now he feels like pouring cold water.

"Let me explain," Li Yu waved his hand and said to the landlords, "You all understand that water conservancy is most needed to fight drought and protect crops, and you know best how your land is, more than 260 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has done almost nothing in Shanxi, and the ditches left in the former Yuan Dynasty have also been dilapidated. ”

"That's it, I said that you took a big advantage, but you are still not convinced, you all stay, the court is unreasonable, and we will carry it together." Sun Tingyao immediately agreed.

Li Yu's words aroused the hidden pain of the landlords, the land is not the right way is trouble, more than half of them have the title of guard officer, but none of them have clean land, more than two hundred years, their ancestors have foiled the imperial court's attempt to recover the land countless times, but who dares to say that the imperial court will not make up its mind again if the land ownership is uncertain, the water conservancy of Weisuotian is almost uncared for, the landlords would rather fight to grab the water source, and they are too lazy to spend money and bother to repair water conservancy, and now they are finally looking forward to Li Dashuai to take over, but people are not stupid, Why take the risk for them?

"But I still want the land of Baoketu and Hetao," Yang Tingfang wanted to play tricks a little, Sun Tingyao and Fan Yongdou couldn't help laughing, his face couldn't hold up, and he gritted his teeth and yelled at the landlords, "The bullshit court is really fucking in the way, the folks of Datong, do business fairly, there is a risk for everyone to bear together, I propose that the land be exchanged, but we will look at the land in the customs for Li Dashuai, whoever dares to grab Li Dashuai's land, we will fight with him." ”

"Agreed, grabbing Li Dashuai's land is robbing our land, Li Dashuai, don't worry, we are in a group."

"Li Dashuai, we will pay and help you resettle the displaced people, and give us the land outside the customs."

……

Yang Tingfang's murderous words aroused a strong reaction from the landlords, and the voices of approval rang out, and now it was their turn to persuade Li Yu to change the land, but it was Li Yu who hesitated. Wang Fang, who was not willing to be lonely, immediately jumped out, saying that there were no soldiers in his hands in these years, and he was not able to speak, and encouraged the landlords to follow Shanxi's example, set up the Datong Joint Defense General Bureau and set up the Datong People's Army. Fan Yongdou also came up with an idea, the situation in Shanxi has been stabilized, Bai Xianzhi and his gang are idle and have nothing to do, so they just transferred them to Datong to train their troops, and by the way, they supported the landlords.

"You go down and discuss a way, as long as everyone can help each other together, I agree to exchange land according to the original method." Li Yu was stunned by the quarrel of these guys, and waved his hand to signal them all to retreat.

The landlords were overjoyed, and had a feeling of turning over to be the master, and the Datong Joint Defense Bureau was established that night, and the joint-stock system was also creatively implemented. The Datong People's Army is easier to do, so it recruits soldiers from the homeless people, and by the way, it can also solve the problem of eating a few people, and the original Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army is simply abolished, and the families and tenants who are in a nest are definitely not as good as the homeless people. However, they also understood that the grass platform team could not be on the stage, so they begged Fengzhou to send people to help them work, and they would be the owners, and at the same time they also made a document to defend Li Dashuai's land rights and interests to the death, and whoever dared not to contribute would deprive him of his land outside the Guanwai.

This is a win-win result, the landlords got rid of the dangerous situation in Datong, got the fertile land of Baoketu and Hetao, they have financial support, have farming experience, and will certainly be able to show their talents, and Fengzhou has stopped the influx of displaced people, and has obtained a large area of land to resettle the displaced people, and the farming conditions in the customs are still better than those outside the customs, as long as manpower and material resources are invested in the construction of water conservancy, it is very likely to get a new source of food.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the landlord's quarrel was finally over, but the resettlement of displaced people, sowing land, and building water conservancy is the most difficult - it has entered spring and March, and the sowing time can not be delayed, and the displaced people are organized into a Tuntian army, and the implementation of "eating together, living together, plowing together, working as one, and sharing the harvest as one", leaving for food to eat, and getting out of the way immediately if you want to leave, this set of old methods when starting a business in Fengzhou is very cold, but the displaced people have nowhere to go, and the vast majority of them are still willing to stay. Xuan Dewei commanded Gu Keli, Dongsheng Zuowei and Tongzhi Tuoyangkun to be transferred to command the Tuntian Army, and while they reorganized and resettled the displaced people, they seized the time to spring ploughing, and everyone worked almost day and night. Water is the most precious, except for people to drink, all the others are used to protect crops, there is no ditch to divert water, men, women and children are organized to send water from the river to the fields like a relay, Gu Keli also led the young man to dig a well, encountered a landslide and was almost buried alive, was sent back to Xuandewei to recuperate.

The villagers are tired, but I can only do this, if I want to survive this year, I have to endure hardships, maybe I can survive until the autumn harvest is better; Tuoyangkun can't hold this situation, so it's better to transfer Bai Xianzhi to be the ambassador of Tuntian, and the soldiers who went to Shanxi will also withdraw to Datong to garrison, and the troops who have entered the customs should return to Manhan Mountain as soon as possible, so as to save some money and food; Chang Shu has been naturalized, this senior brother has good ability and knowledge, first stay in the Great Commander's Mansion to assist in government affairs, Ge Curry is still lacking in handling government affairs, and it is better to go to the Military Affairs Department to praise the lack of Asari; There is still a big gap in seeds, farm tools, and rations, so ask the local government for help, but I entered the customs and tuntian without authorization, this account must be remembered by the imperial court, no one will care about me, the governor of Datong has been replaced, I don't know if this new Ye Tinggui is good to get along with, forget it, let's take a step at a time.

Li Yufu kept writing letters on the bookcase, both to the Commander's Office, and to the Governor Xuanda and the governors of the towns asking for help, and after writing all the letters, and then asking Mozhige to send someone out, it was already late at night, and his brain was dizzy, and he fell asleep on the bookcase. Li Yu has also been tired these days, and he has been sleeping in a drowsy sleep for most of the night, and when he was pushed to wake up, he was surprised to see Liu Zhilun in front of him - the master, as a naturalized governor, was suspected of leaving his post without permission when he entered his town, how could he dare to enter the customs?

"Come with me immediately, the Governor will convene the governors and commanders of the towns of Xuanda to discuss the matter." Liu Zhilun whispered, and before Li Yu could answer, he would leave, Li Yu hurriedly glanced at the high black man at the door, and the Flying Tiger Battalion was assembled in a moment, and under the leadership of Jeddah and Hadari, he followed Li Yu to gallop in the direction of Datong.

At dawn, the team arrived at Shilibao in the east of Datong City, which was heavily guarded, surrounded by sentry posts of the Ming army, and the Flying Tiger Cavalry unceremoniously squeezed the Ming army, followed Li Yu one step at a time, and arranged rangers along the way.

The guerrilla governor led Liu Zhilun and Li Yu into a big mansion, Liang Tingdong was sitting in the lobby with several civil officials chatting, one of the civil officials was a little familiar, and smiled at Li Yu, Li Yu recognized him as the Shanxi governor Wu Xian, who had a one-time acquaintance, Liu Zhilun introduced the other two are the new Datong governor Ye Tinggui and Xuanfu governor Chen Xinjia, and the few military generals standing next to him are Datong chief soldier Wang Pu and Xuanfu chief soldier Yang Guozhu are acquaintances, and the rest of the one does not need to ask is Shanxi chief soldier Wang Zhong, and the three of them have dealings with Fengzhou in private, It should be his own people, and Li Yu naturally stood with them - there was no stool for them to sit on in front of the civil officials.

"Li Hanmin, you stand here, raise troops to enter the customs without authorization, rob the fields of the guard, and Xuanda Tian has been poked a hole by you, you really deserve death!" Liang Tingdong was furious when he saw Li Yu, this guy is so bad, he suddenly played such a hand, you say that he rebelled, then he entered the customs and occupied the fort, and the local civil and military forces were guilty of losing their land, and you said that he appeased the displaced people, and the local government was suspected of dereliction of duty, and it was not easy to justify himself. Xuanda's governor Fu was so difficult to ride a tiger that he killed, and it was not even easy to write a recital to the imperial court, so he had to secretly get together to unify his voice. The more Liang Tingdong thought about it, the more angry he became, pointing at Li Yu and yelling, "You are guilty of heinous crimes, you don't care about adding one more capital crime, if you want to die, just die, don't drag us all into the water." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, the Han people are also a last resort, the displaced people gather in the unpredictable situation, Fengzhou sent troops to stabilize the situation, the dispatch of troops was agreed by Benfu, and the blame of the court was borne by Benfu alone." Liu Zhilun stood up and said.

"You don't have to cover it up for him, this governor knows who is in charge of Guihua Town, Li Hanmin, you say, how to fill this hole now?" Liang Tingdong waved his hand and continued to stare at Li Yu and asked.

"Otherwise, the last general will withdraw the soldiers, and the displaced people will ask the governor to take them in, 280,000 people, the last general is really scared." Li Yu scratched his head and replied.

"Don't think about it, you get into trouble and settle it yourself." Liang Tingdong categorically refused, back then, Wu Sacrifice brought 100,000 domestic funds to help the northwest refugees, and the money was spent like flowing water in less than a month, and the effect was like this, he calculated the accounts, and the price of rice has now broken through six taels and one stone, and appeased these homeless people without four or five hundred thousand taels of silver and couldn't get down, as soon as he thought of the money, his scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but glance at Wu Sacrifice.

On the surface, Liang Tingdong was the governor of Xuanda, but he solicited his opinion in advance, including the secret gathering of the governor of the four towns and the general army in violation of the imperial system. This person was promoted very quickly, and in a few years, he jumped from the seventh rank of the imperial history to a feudal official, and it is said that he may also return to the court and enter the cabinet. He is indeed capable, the governor of Shanxi changed the hard-line style of his predecessor Xu Dingchen, and fought fiercely with the local gentry, creating a situation of harmonious coexistence between the government and the Shanxi Joint Defense General Bureau, Shanxi military and businessmen, but Shanxi settled down, and the gentry gave him a face and paid some taxes, and his political achievements far exceeded those of his predecessors - in fact, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty were not heavy, and the people could not survive mainly because of the local burden and the corruption of officials.

"Hermes-Epitek is too reckless this time, quickly admit your mistake to the Governor, the boss reprimands you and cherishes you, talents are rare," Wu Yu smiled and relieved Li Yu, this time the Shanxi refugees ran more than 100,000 people into Datong, his burden was greatly reduced, and he still owed Li Yu a favor.

Li Yu understood and immediately respectfully admitted his mistake, Liang Tingdong's face was much better, and he gave another lecture to his old subordinate Li Yu, and when he said that he was emotional, he shed a few tears, Li Yu also quickly rubbed his eyes, and the face of both sides was recovered, and then it was time for Wu Yu to come up with a bad idea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year's drought and no rain, so that the displaced people everywhere almost caused a civil uprising, Li Shuai took action to contain the displaced people, to solve the predicament of the towns of Xuanda, and to make great contributions to the imperial court, but since it is the matter of the towns of Xuanda, then this disaster relief is the common work of all towns, Li Shuai entered the Guantuntian is also under the order of the governor, those who can work harder, but the disaster relief can not all rely on the naturalization town, all towns should help, I Shanxi is willing to assist rice beans 2,000 stones, silver 2,000 taels." Wu Zhu said loudly.

"Datong is willing to assist rice beans with 2,000 stones and 2,000 taels of silver." Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, was the person recommended by Wu Xian, and immediately echoed it.

"The Xuanfu is willing to assist two thousand stones of rice beans and two thousand taels of silver." Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanfu, was born in a noble family, with the least fame and qualifications, and he also followed the boss closely.

"This is the best, the governor will report to the imperial court, the displaced people gather in Datong, the situation is extremely urgent, the governor urgently transferred the naturalized army into the customs, and the towns in the customs work together to provide disaster relief and peace of mind." Liang Tingdong said happily.

Li Yu was still a little moved at first, but soon came back to his senses, disaster relief and peace of mind were still his business, and these people threw a few dollars to dodge, but found a way to fool the court, and it was possible to share some credit in the future.
