Chapter 542: Déjà vu
Zhang Zhiji said: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool knows that several of your private islands also leave many family members to guard, and the number of real family members is probably doubled, right?" ”
Huang Sheng bluntly admitted: "That's true, the number of the Huang family's private soldiers is close to 20,000, but Tiannan and Haibei can't be assembled in a short time. ”
Huang Sheng was afraid of scaring the old man, so he concealed his strength, but even so, he still saw that the old man's face was red and white for a while, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.
Zhang Weixian seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I can get into your ears, and you must not talk to outsiders." ”
Huang Sheng Zhengse said: "Father-in-law instructs, of course the son-in-law knows how to measure, so naturally he will not be reckless." ”
Zhang Weixian whispered in Huang Sheng's ear: "You can protect yourself by staying away from the court, you can no longer come to Jingshi, no matter how the Holy Son of Heaven summons you, you have to do everything you can to shirk it, remember to remember." ”
The officialdom tumbler is not a fool of nothing, and it is really scheming and accurate in judging things, and it hits the nail on the head.
Zhang Zhiji also realized, and said: "Brother Xian doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the Jingshi's family, there is a British public family for domestic aid, no one dares to covet the Huang family's property, anyone in the Huang family can come to Jingshi, even my sister can go back to her mother's house, you can't come here alone." ”
Zhang Weixian said: "That's true, you are far away on Hainan Island, you have a strong army in hand, as long as you don't fight against the imperial court, no one dares to do anything to you." ”
Huang Sheng saw that their suggestion coincided with his own, and agreed with a straight face, and the British father and son knew that it might be difficult to see each other again today, and their eyes were red.
Say goodbye to the chattering old man, Huang Sheng took the people and horses all the way to the north, along the way the people saw that it was the "God of War" team out again, everyone was in the middle of the road to say goodbye, the army in Yongping Mansion as if to the hometown.
Although most of the people in Yongping Mansion are not the people of the Huang family system, many of them are tenant farmers of Huang Sheng, and now there are 500,000 or 600,000 people who have been displaced and have lived and worked in peace and contentment in less than three years with the help of the Huang family.
Hundreds of thousands of people no longer have dishes on their faces, and the children who are running and laughing are innocent and lively, and their eyes are smart.
Shengdou Xiaomin is the most grateful to report, the "God of War" army passed by, and the people really took the initiative to burn incense and kneel to welcome.
Huang Sheng really didn't adapt to this tune, and sent a team of pro-soldiers to help the people up, so that they couldn't do this, the Huang family just did a trivial thing, and the old folks must not do this.
The people with a grateful heart were lifted up here and knelt down there, and everyone was sincere.
The conspirator Huang Sheng couldn't help but be moved in his heart, feeling that he really didn't come to Daming in vain when he had done something.
At this time, the official honor guard came from afar, hundreds of people dismounted from afar, got off the sedan chair and waited on the side of the road, when the honor guard of the Nanguo Gong came to the side, these civil officials and military generals all knelt down and saluted, and Huang Sheng saw the leader.
That is the Yongping Mansion Tai lord into a big event, he removed the word temporary at the beginning of the year, and became the righteous Wupin Mansion Tai lord, because of the rule of Haiqing Heyan, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is very likely that he will be promoted again after a big event.
Cheng Da Da saw the benefactor Nan Guogong who brought him benefits, he was a little excited, and said loudly: "Grandpa is well, Xia Guan Cheng Da will see you." ”
The five-grade civil officials of the Ming Dynasty will not kneel down to anyone easily, and to make this great gift in front of everyone is to show everyone that he is the person of the Duke of Nanguo.
Huang Sheng hurriedly picked up the kneeling officials one by one, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, I am equal to the court as an official, and a palace is a minister, I can't do such a big gift, this lord can't afford it!" ”
Cheng Da said piously: "Grandpa has worked tirelessly to calm the South China Sea and rescued Jinzhou non-stop, he is a model for my generation, and you can afford it." ”
After exchanging a few polite words to each other, Huang Sheng was surrounded by a group of Yongping officials and came to Funing County, and the army camped outside the city.
Ye Chengjing, the county magistrate, had already received a notice, of course, he was ready to do everything for the friendship of the landlord, and seeing that his immediate boss, Lord Futai, had already greeted Nanguo Gong and had been accompanying him, of course, he was even more slack.
Ye Chengjing will be promoted and leave office soon, because he has been excellent in the three-year examination, because the Huang family manages Funing County behind the scenes, this kid has been a local official for three years, and he even wants to be promoted If he can't get the errand of the Beijing official, he simply takes the initiative to apply to be a magistrate under the rule of Qiongzhou Mansion.
He likes to be a shopkeeper very much, and there is too much money at home to use, and Ye Chengjing never thought about scraping the ground in the local area when he was an official.
He has seen the Huang family's ability to govern one side, and he must have become an official in Nanguogong's land, where the situation will definitely be better than that of Funing County, and he will get the three-year examination with full honors, and it will be easy to be promoted again.
Huang Sheng learned that this year's northern year is in the middle and low, but due to the huge role of the water conservancy facilities built in Yongping Mansion, the average yield per mu of wheat fields owned by the Huang family can still reach one stone and one bucket, which means that Yongping Mansion will get four million stone wheat.
The needs of the Huangjiatun people in Yongping Mansion themselves are about 2 million stones, and 1 million stones are needed to subsidize and relieve the non-Huangjiatun people, and 1 million stones of wheat can be supplied here for the army's front feet.
In order to protect the interests of farmers and stimulate their enthusiasm for production.
Huang Sheng set the grain purchase price as early as the third year of Chongzhen, giving one tael of silver per stone of wheat, and the people can sell it freely if they can sell it higher than this price, and the market price is lower than this price, and there is no upper limit for the Huang family's open purchase.
Because of the Huang family's intervention in the grain market, the peasants will no longer be sold the fruits of their year's work by black-hearted grain merchants in the autumn at a lower price, and before the grain can be bought at a high price, the Huang family will also buy a large number of agricultural and sideline products, and the peasants' lives will certainly be much better.
Yongping Mansion Tunken's achievements are remarkable, and He Guilan has made great contributions, and Huang Sheng decided to meet her to personally commend her.
The secretary Mei Xiang Xizizi brought the apprehensive He Guilan, the three-year appointment is coming soon, and all the women who promised to work for the Huang family for three years have a tacit understanding and intentionally forget that there is such a thing, they are all busy in their respective jobs.
He Guilan, who came to the official hall of the Yahou Hall in Funing County, saw that the people who came and went were all officials of the imperial court, and she was even more frightened, and when she came to see her, He Guilan entered the official hall and involuntarily knelt with weak legs.
"The slave and maid knock to see the Duke of Nanguo." The crisp voice seems familiar, but it is already a person, He Guilan has mixed feelings in her heart, and she really doesn't know how to face it, so she can only see it with court etiquette.
Huang Sheng hurriedly asked Mei Xiang to help He Guilan, and said, "Miss He Guilan, don't come unharmed, you and I are old people, don't need these false courtesies, hurry up and sit down to talk." ”
