Section 301

was calculated, but he couldn't say what he suffered, and he had to thank the governors for helping him clear his sins-Li Yu felt that it was too cowardly, so he left a team of flying tigers for Liu Zhilun after the discussion, and walked back without eating, but Wang Pu and the three of them caught up.

"Look at this group of Wenchen clearly, I violated the private meeting and dragged us on, I'm bah! Hermes-Epitek, don't worry about them, we still have to rely on our brothers at a critical time, we don't have money, but we are angry," Wang Pu patted Li Yu's shoulder, waved his hand and asked his soldiers to bring a wooden box, "1,500 taels of silver, the three of us made it together, don't stare at me, this money is the cleanest, we make it from doing business." ”

"Thank you, brothers, this love brother has written it down." Li Yu's heart was hot, and he said gratefully.

"Hermes-Epitek, let me tell you, the two thousand stone meters prepared by the Shanxi military merchants have been on the road, and they will arrive in Datong within three days, and the old brothers have not forgotten you!" Wang Zhong hugged Li Yu with a smile, he was the oldest among the four general soldiers of Xuanda, and he belonged to the people who lived in the old age, and he entered the military business circle within a few days of taking office as the chief soldier of Shanxi, and is currently ranked third in Shanxi's military business, second only to Wang Guoliang and Sun Xianzu.

"Brother Wang, their business is doing well, we can't compare, Lao Yang, are we Datong and Xuanfu towns also joining forces to engage in a Xuanda military business?" Wang Pu asked Yang Guozhu with a wit.

"Okay, the brothers are going to die of poverty, make some money so that I can add a few pieces of meat to my brothers, Hermes-Epitek, you must help with this favor!" Yang Guozhu responded immediately.

"Three elder brothers, the younger brother's Fengzhou is your source of wealth, and you can choose what business you want." Li Yu patted his chest and replied.

The heads of the four armies of Xuanda hooked their shoulders and laughed together.

The Datong Tuntian action is in full swing, countless black eagle flags flutter in the wind on the vast land from the border wall in the north, to Huairen in the south, from Pinglu in the west, and to Lingqiu in the east, and the fields are crowded with people and boiling, and the sound of gongs and drums and trumpets comes and goes one after another - the common people have been organized, the craftsmen have gathered together to build houses and build utensils, the young and strong are sowing grains in the fields, digging ditches and repairing ditches, and the old and weak women and children are also planting yam eggs all over the mountains. Croppers know that there is not much time left for sowing, now shed a little more sweat, sow more seeds, and have more hope of living in the future, there is nothing to complain about, when natural disasters and man-made disasters can only survive by gritting their teeth and working hard, isn't Li Dashuai also sweating together?

The common people are no longer wanderers running around, but an army of Tuntian who are striving for survival, and there are officials at all levels of the public health center who lead them to share weal and woe together, and defend the land harvest together, and everyone will definitely survive if they form a group - Li Yu looked at the scene in front of him, and pulled the plow in the field with full energy, Sun Tingyao and Fan Yongdou also changed their cloth clothes, pretending to help support the plough in the back, joking, the commander works like an animal, can they not follow behind the buttocks? However, these two guys who had never done farm work were really not good, and they were pushed aside by Mo Rige and Gao Heizi after a while.

"The Civic Party is a party that does things for the people, and it must go ahead of the people in its work, and whoever dares to cheat and cheat will be punished according to party discipline." Wang Fang brandished his hoe and shouted loudly to his comrades - the Civic Party is developing its organization among the displaced people too quickly, and a large number of new party members still need to be inspected and cultivated in labor, for example, the exalted person is a talent, but he can't endure hardship, and if he doesn't keep an eye on it, he will definitely be lazy.

Liu Zhilun was also working in the field, looking at Wang Fang sweating, wearing only a cloth coat on his upper body and still working hard, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with this drive, this guy is also a good hand if he takes the right path.

The landlords of Datong also came to help, in the final analysis, they are also people who rely on the land to make a living, and they can't be idle when it comes to the busy farming season, Li Dashuai is righteous, and they can't be stingy, not only supporting a batch of rations and farm tools, but also lending idle livestock to the Tuntian army. The landlords also set up a large pot at the edge of the field to boil broth and steam the nest head - when the farm is busy, let the people who work eat and drink well, this is the rule handed down by the ancestors, at this time must not pick the door, otherwise it is disrespectful to the ancestors of heaven and earth. The opera troupe in the city was also invited by the landlord, and Bangzi opera sang about the heroes of Shanxi - Guan Yunchang, Xue Rengui, Yang Jiajiang, Ma Fang, but the most sung is the contemporary hero Li Hanmin, no way, the name of Li Dashuai is too loud, not only the martial arts are invincible all over the world, but the merit of sheltering the displaced people alone will overshadow the previous few, and Shanxi people now love to listen to Li Dashuai's play.

Lama Erji, Father Gao Yizhi, and Ma Da Imam came at this time, Guannei Tuntian is a big thing for Fengzhou, they can't sit still, they have to come to care, plus Wang Zheng who plans water conservancy, Yang Dazhi who guides farming, a few sixty or seventy-year-old men go out to worry about Fengzhou officials, fortunately, Sun Qifeng and Han Lin also want to take the disciples of Fengzhou Academy and Industrial and Commercial Academy into the customs to increase their knowledge, and they can accompany and take care of them by the way, so a few old men and a large group of young people on a spring outing traveled, and the five four-wheeled carriages that Han Lin tried to make came in handy, The spacious and comfortable carriage pulled the old men, laughing and laughing all the way, and arrived at the Victory Fort safe and sound.

The Erji Lama is proficient in Buddhism, and has preached the scriptures in Wutai Mountain for more than a year, and the major lama monasteries in Shanxi have dealings, Gao Yizhi, Dr. Ma is also the leader of Shanxi Yajiao, Islam, three prominent figures appeared at the same time, this is how many years have never had a grand occasion, Datong has been a sensation all over the country, their friends, believers flocked to it, and even the lamas of Wutai Mountain also heard the news and rushed to visit. Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, was frightened these days, and always felt that Datong City was surrounded, but he couldn't think of a way to crack it - he couldn't beat people in a war, he couldn't reason with others, and he didn't dare to take over the homeless people, so he could only shrink his head and be a turtle, but the arrival of the three masters made him breathe a sigh of relief.

It is said that the status of the Gurji Lama in Fengzhou is no less than that of the naturalized general soldier, this person is a high-ranking monk who has always accumulated good deeds, I have done his old man, and he will always be embarrassed to do the black hand after the naturalization of the general soldier - Ye Tinggui figured out the truth and personally went to the Victory Fort to visit the three masters.

Ye Tinggui, the second year of the Apocalypse, is knowledgeable and eloquent, and sees the three masters talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality, pointing out that the Confucianism of Confucianism is also to educate the world to eliminate evil from good, and the Buddha, Yah, and Hui religions are complementary to each other, and his mother eats fast and recites Buddha all the year round, and he himself is also worried about the country and the people, and sees the people suffering and sleeps and eats uncomfortably, so he fully supports the naturalized general army to settle the people in Datong Tuntian.

"Hanmin, you have done a great deed to accumulate good deeds, but the official also wants to remind you that the abandoned land you occupy is only about 300,000 mu, which is far from enough to resettle the people, so let's do it, this official allows you to open up land in Datong, and it is best to open up ten thousand hectares of land, and the people of Datong will remember your merits on the day of success!" Ye Tinggui's attitude was very sincere, but he hoped that Li Yu would not be able to pull it out when he was trapped in the ground, and he didn't care about making trouble for him, as for the land, he had to get out of the customs if the emperor ordered him, and the court still picked up a ready-made one for nothing.

"What the Lord said is very true, and the general will obey the order." Li Yu replied respectfully, and he couldn't ask for it in his heart - it is much easier to open up wasteland and farm land in Datong than outside the Guan, especially this grain source is right under his nose, as long as he can trade freely in the long run, it will be beneficial to Fengzhou, and he is not really here to grab land, of course, if the imperial court blockade does not allow him to buy grain from the Guannei, then there is a way to deal with it.

Ye Tinggui was very satisfied, and invited the three masters to Datong to give lectures, persuade the believers to do good deeds, and donate money and food to help those poor homeless people - this guy is too picky, and he has been asking others to do good things for a long time, but he can't take out any real goods, but considering that he has just arrived and his ass is not yet hot, it is not bad to have this statement, the three masters gave him a face and agreed to accept the invitation.

Three days later, the sun was shining, and there was an endless stream of people coming from all over the world to listen to the scriptures, Ye Tinggui had to choose a place outside the city to lead the flow of people to the temporary pulpit - the Erji Lama, Gao Yizhi and Dr. Ma are all famous figures, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give lectures on the same stage, many people want to witness the grand occasion with their own eyes, and I heard that the carriage in which the masters rode had four wheels, and everyone really couldn't figure it out, how to turn the carriage with four wheels?

When the car of the three masters came, there was an immediate burst of exclamations from the crowd, it turned out that the carriage with four wheels could really turn! Ye Tinggui personally stepped forward to accompany the three masters to the pulpit, and complained that the naturalized governor and the naturalized general soldier only knew the work in the field, and did not wait for the old man all the way.

The carriage was surrounded by everyone, Han Lin was very vigilant, and hurriedly ordered the accompanying guards to stop people outside, and then told everyone with a smile that this new carriage is spacious and comfortable, with a large load capacity, and the speed is not slow, and naturalization will soon be able to produce in large quantities, everyone is welcome to come and buy, but if you want to steal the craftsmanship and build it privately, this kind of car has applied for exclusive benefits in the Chemical Construction Division, if you are willing to spend money to get a license to build it, you can let you know the mystery - profiteers, but also people, not generous at all, The crowd went away disappointed.

Ye Tinggui arranged for the three religions to preach on the same stage to gain enough popularity, but the scene was a bit chaotic, the three masters each had their own teachings, each recited their own scriptures, and each of them had followers cheering - the people who believed in Buddhism shouted "Amitabha", the people who believed in Islam shouted "praise the grace of the Lord and sang the praises of holy virtue", and the believers of Western religion sang "The world praises Jehovah". Ye Tinggui didn't care what the scene was, after the three masters finished speaking, they immediately jumped out and made a generous statement, first pouring bitter water for the court and the government, and then stretched out his hand to ask everyone to contribute money and food to help the victims, and he first took out five taels of silver for demonstration.

It's easy to join in the fun, but it's hard to get people to pay, the governor is so slammed, and the others don't want to pay out of their pockets, everyone immediately bows their heads and is silent, the scene of thousands of people is quiet, and some people quietly shrink back. At this time, there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky, and there seemed to be thunder in the distance. The crowd began to stir.

"People have reincarnation, you are rich and noble in this life, but you are not known in the next life, in this life you give to save others, and in the next life you may be saved by others, and do more good deeds to benefit others and yourself."

"Jehovah's love for the world and the salvation of the poor and the children is the greatest act of kindness, and God bless you to go to heaven when you die."

"The Prophet said, 'All are brothers in the four seas,' and among the poor are those of my religion, help them, and our Lord will give peace and tranquility to the world."

The three masters seized the time to persuade donations, but there were few influencers, only some monks and lamas and good men and women honestly stepped forward to donate money and food. The sky suddenly became cloudy, and then the rain fell, and everyone shouted wildly and dispersed, and this farce of soliciting donations ended hastily, and a total of hundreds of taels of silver and two hundred stones of grain were obtained. Ye Tinggui is quite satisfied, he has made enough gestures in front of the old lama, and he will have to give face in the future of naturalization town, and God has a rain, which is also his credit.

This rain poured down for an hour, and to be honest, it could not solve the big problem, but the people working in the fields were greatly encouraged. Wang Fang took the opportunity to spread rumors that this rain was God's face for Li Dashuai, because Li Dashuai was a god who descended to earth, and there was no one to change the door, so everyone could only survive if they followed Li Dashuai.

Entering the second half of March, Fengzhou basically ended spring ploughing, and finally could free up his hands to help Guannei, Ma Shiying led two thousand young people to carry livestock and farm tools into the customs, and hundreds of mirror plows were placed everywhere in Datong, and at the same time began to reclaim the wasteland. Bai Xianzhi also returned to Datong at this time, and issued the first order after taking up the post of ambassador of Tuntian: If you want to survive, you must first endure hardships, and the army must take care of sowing, harvesting, land reclamation and water conservancy, and this year it must continue to work until the snow and soil freeze.

The people of Tuntian are working hard, the officials are also working hard, the status quo of more people and less land cannot be changed in the short term, and it is difficult to feed nearly 300,000 people. When Li Yu was suffering, the Great Commander's Office sent a letter that the three Great Khans of Khalkha were approaching in early May, asking him to hand over the Tuntian Army to Bai Xianzhi and return to naturalization as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

Fort Victory, Li Yu called the last meeting before leaving. Fengzhou officials and officials of the Datong Joint Defense Bureau gathered in the lobby of the General's Mansion and quietly listened to Tuntian's deputy envoy Tuoyangkun talk about the current situation:

Fengzhou has acquired 320,000 mu of abandoned land in the health office by exchanging land, and at the same time has opened up more than 30,000 mu of land, and has completed the sowing of these 350,000 mu of land at an astonishing speed, but it is simply not enough to feed 280,000 people with this bit of land, so it is necessary to continue to open up and cultivate land this year and next year, and only by having more than 10,000 hectares of land can the problem of food be basically solved. The Tuntian Army has been reorganized according to the establishment of the Fengzhou Health Station, and it has been organized into 30 thousand households, and the common people have elected officials at all levels, and the men have also had a small number of weapons, but they are too tired from farm work and have no time to train the troops, but fortunately, 3,000 Fengzhou soldiers have been withdrawn from Shanxi, plus the 1,000 Datong People's Army of the Joint Defense General Bureau, and the garrison force is temporarily sufficient. At present, there is a serious shortage of food rations, there is still a lack of ploughing cattle and farm tools, ordinary people have two meals of corn and yam eggs a day, and Ding Zhuang only adds two more nests to each meal, and uses people as livestock, so he will not last long, and now he can only ask the Prime Minister for help.

"Fengzhou also has no ability to support you, and the Silver Money Bureau agreed to issue 200,000 taels of bonds for Guannai Tuntian, which is all the capital, and the rest can only rely on yourself." Sun Tingyao looked at Bai Xianzhi and Tuoyangkun, who were dejected, and sighed.

"I can only support some old farm tools there, or a variety of yam eggs, your manpower is enough, after the autumn harvest and another season of winter crops, a little summer grain is better than some, grit your teeth and boil it, we started our business more bitter than this, haven't we come all the way, scorpion block, don't be discouraged!" Yang Dazhi patted Tuoyangkun and encouraged.

"I still have to think of some more ways, there are many mountains here, and it is hard work to open up wasteland and repair water conservancy, and people will always be tired if they don't have enough to eat," Li Yu stood up and walked a few steps, stopped in front of Gao He, the newly appointed military officer of Tuntian, and said, "Can you find a way to persuade some people to return to their hometown?" I can give them some food. ”

"No one wants to go, now there is chaos everywhere, there is a plague in some places, human life is not as good as dog life, and then go back to my hometown is not a tenant, fifty or sixty percent of the rent who can stand it, or here is good, although it is bitter, but everyone can always survive in a group." Takaga stood up and shook his head in reply.

Ma Shiying suddenly spoke: "You can move some people to Fengzhou, our factories and mines, workshops are doing very well this year, and we can't find anyone to work during spring ploughing, as long as there is craftsmanship, it is easy to settle, and there is still a shortage of people in the border guards, and the land is there, and you can go without fear of hardship, I calculated it, as long as there are no more than 30,000 people, Fengzhou can still afford it." ”

"To be honest, we still have a lot of fields in our hands, and if Baoketu and Hetao are good, we can exchange some more fields for the commander, even if it is for Fengzhou." Yang Tingfang said that he got the exact news - the land in Baoketu is so fertile, there are rivers, pastures, and coal and iron under the soles of his feet, and several major firms in Fengzhou have purchased land there, so it is too early to start, and the Datong gentry have already made an appointment to work in partnership, and the more land, the better.

Li Yu sat back in his place and glanced at Liu Zhilun next to him, but Liu Zhilun covered his head and said nothing-so far, the imperial court has only issued an edict to exempt the new and old Liaoyuan in the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties in Shanxi, and he connected two pieces about the situation in Datong Tuntian, but there was no response like a stone sinking into the sea, and the imperial court seemed to have forgotten about the naturalization town.

This winter is not good, the common people are going to die a lot - Li Yu felt a burst of sadness, his eyes looked out of the door, Li Yao, Zhang Zhiyao and three young people who looked like scholars were talking and laughing under a tree, Li Yu suddenly strode out of the door and shouted at them: "If there is anything funny, get away from me." ”

"Third uncle, let me introduce you," Li Yao was not afraid of Li Yu, and pointed to the three young people and said, "These three are Fu Shan, Fu Qingzhu, Xue Zongzhou, Xue Wenbo, Wang Rujin, and Wang Zijian, who came to Datong with the grain team from Shanxi this time, and wanted to meet you, second uncle." ”

The first thin and tall young man saluted forward: "Dashuai is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, the glory of Shanxi, the great martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and the benevolence and virtue of helping people are even more admirable. ”

"Fuck the Ming Dongliang, I'll tell you now, I'm Erlu from Ula," Li Yu sneered and shouted into the distance, "If you're idle, just find a piece of land to work." ”
