Chapter 271: Yang Ming is here (ask for subscription)
Eight thousand taels of silver is not much, but it is not a lot for today's Cao Gang, especially when the rattan box is opened, the visual impact of the white silver ingots on people is not something that ordinary people can bear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Master Bai, this is a silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver, which is considered the freight of the first month, of course, you also know that there were not so many goods to pull at the beginning, and this silver can be regarded as a subsidy for your turnover over there, have you seen it?" Zhang Fatzi smiled and took out a large handful of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Bai Ye, and then the silver in the rattan box said: "This is eight thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels in a box, Lord Yang said that this is for your living expenses for those orphans and widows, and he will not treat you badly when he does things for Lord Yang, hehe!" ”
Fifty-eight thousand taels of silver!
That's a lot of money! Originally, according to Yang Ming's meaning, all the money was paid with silver tickets, but in the end, it was decided that the remaining eight thousand taels would be paid by the official bank, after all, they were all official silver circulation, and there were actually a few places that monitored Bai Ye's accounts, whether it was used again, and Yang Ming was naturally more concerned about the fact that it was used on those women and children.
Bai Ye was already excited, if it was only eight thousand taels of silver, maybe he wouldn't be tempted, but what about fifty-eight thousand taels? This is undoubtedly the income of his Cao Gang for two to three months, and now it is only the first month's freight given by Yang Ming, or when there is no goods at all.
This undoubtedly moved him a lot, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, maybe it was really a very wise choice to follow Yang Ming.
......
At this time, Xiao Cui outside the door had already walked in: "Uncle, madam, they are ready!" ”
Yang Ming nodded, and then asked Zhang Wencai, "Are all the copper coins you prepared on the boat?" ”
Zhang Wencai's chubby face smiled, and said: "This is natural, the real 120,000 copper coins and 80,000 taels of broken silver have already been put on the boat and set off with us!" ”
200,000 taels of silver.....
Bai Ye was shocked again! But he didn't dare to pay attention to the silver, he didn't dare to sit down now, although Yang Ming still looked young, but ..... But there seemed to be an invisible pressure exuding from his body, which made him feel uncomfortable, and slowly he stood up and stood aside.
"Let's go!" Yang Ming said lightly to Xiao Cui on the side.
"But old lady. The old grandmother and the old man and the old lady are there.... Do you want to say goodbye to them? The stunned maid suggested, after all, it will be two or three years.
"Let's go!" Yang Ming said that the person had already gotten up and walked straight towards the door, and he also wanted to say goodbye to his family, but he knew that if he went, he might not be able to leave today. He was not a ruthless person, and even his attachment to home was more than any one person, so it was precisely because of this that he did not go, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but accompany them again after seeing the tears of the old people.
......
Sitting on the head boat, the river breeze was slightly cold. The scenery on both sides of the strait kept passing by the vision, looking at the familiar scenery Yang Ming sighed again and left!
Flowing down the river, a thousand miles a day.
From Suizhou Mansion to Longfu to enter the Jialing River and then to the Yangtze River, Yang Ming has arrived in Sinan in three days.
The boat is docked at a wharf along Sinan, and nearly a hundred Cao boats occupy almost half of the river, and all the Cao Gang disciples on the Cao Boat are strictly guarded, after all, the current situation is different, and it is not surprising that there are a few mountain bandits who do not want to die, but the people of the Cao Gang are not soft eggs When Bai Ye announced this month's freight, everyone was already enthusiastic, and they knew what they should do.
"Master Bai will go with me to Sinan County to have a look!" Yang Ming greeted Bai Ye and took Li Yanran and the other women off the boat. Now he has changed into a seven-grade official uniform, and Li Yanran has also changed into a command uniform, and the two of them are followed by Xia Yurou, Miaoyun, Miaoyin, Xiaocui and a few maids.
Bai Ye immediately understood, and as soon as he greeted the boat, more than 20 elite men immediately came, these people were all helmsmen in the Cao Gang, all of them were skilled and had seen blood, and they were guarding Yang Ming's safety, and in Bai Ye's opinion, this was the most stable, as for the Ding Zhuang of the Yang family, it was useless at all.
The group walked towards the county seat.
......
Of course, it is naturally impossible for so many people or officials to hide from people, when Yang Ming and the others didn't go far, many people found out, and then more people found out.
Liu Siliang is a farmer in Sinan. Like other villagers, there is not much food at home, but unlike other counties, he has long heard that the county commander who is about to take office in Sinan is a big man, and it is said that he will turn the loess into gold.... Not only does he know, but many people know it. Of course, this also strengthened his determination to stay and not prepare to beg for food.
But.... There are also people from other nearby states and counties who know this, and they are also dragging their families towards Sinan one by one, which undoubtedly makes him a little angry. Isn't there a prefectural ordinance in other counties? I was already poor in Sinan County, and I finally looked forward to the stars and the moon to come to such a big Buddha, and these people actually wanted to come to the light!
Of course, there are not a few Sinan people who think like him in their hearts, and even now the entire Sinan County has been divided into two opposing groups. On one side, it is naturally the local faction dominated by Sinan, and on the other side is the foreign faction from other states and counties, because of the number of people, those foreign factions are naturally suppressed, if it weren't for the Tongren prefect who came to Sinan to mediate two days ago, maybe there would be a big fight.
Human life is not worth anything at all at this time, and no one minds snatching it from the other party's hands for a bite of food, and seeing that the food in his hand is getting less and less, the green outside the city begins to turn yellow at a rapid rate, and both grass and wild vegetables are picked up.
Today, Liu Siliang made an appointment with Lao Wang next door to pick wild vegetables outside the city, the two families are neighbors, and the relationship is good, especially Lao Wang is anxious and righteous, he is a person who does good deeds and does not leave a name, so basically the neighbors like to drink him and go out to pick wild vegetables together.
After picking for a long time, looking at the few wild vegetables in the basket, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, in fact, grass can also be eaten, this is already a very common phenomenon, when the stomach is hungry and growling, as long as it can enter the stomach is food, but Liu Siliang stubbornly believes that it is livestock that eats grass, and he is a human being, since he is a human being, even if he is guilty, he can only eat wild vegetables at most, which is also the last self-esteem he keeps.
However, when he turned his head sideways, he suddenly found that there was a team on the official road that he didn't know how many times he had walked, and it seemed that there were more than thirty people, and he didn't care about it at first, but as the figure got closer and closer, he was fierce, and saw that the person who walked in front was actually wearing an official hat, and there was a woman next to him who was wearing the same clothes as the government, but he had never seen it in terms of color or style.
"Lao Wang, you... You see, that ....."
He was speechless, these people are officials!
Lao Wang looked in the direction of Liu Si's two fingers, at this time the team was not far from them, the official at the front was clearly a young man, and the woman next to him was about the same age as him, and there were maids and attendants by their side..... Suddenly, Lao Wang's mind thought of what the prefect said in front of the yamen a few days ago: "The new prefect will arrive soon!" ”
He was shocked, and then an irrepressible joy surged into his heart, could that young official be... It is...
"Lord Yang is here, let's Sinan! .....
Just when the two of them were still stunned, they didn't know who shouted at the top of their voices, and then they saw that the mountains were full of people, and they immediately drilled out countless heads and looked at this team of only twenty or thirty people, and for a while, the news that Yang Ming arrived at Sinan sounded like wings in the entire Sinan realm.
The sound was better than the wave, and in an instant, it spread everywhere like the waves in the sea, and the people had already spread it all over the city before they arrived in the city, and almost the whole city and even the surrounding areas already knew the news that Yang Ming had arrived in Sinan.
County office, inside the public house.
Liu Yizheng looked at the news reported by the townships in the morning with a sad face, many big households did not have much food in their hands, not to mention the people, and even he himself began to eat wild vegetables, at this moment he finally deeply realized that it is not easy to be a magistrate, if it wasn't for Li Daoyuan who sent him three hundred stones of grain two days ago, he was afraid that the county government would not be able to maintain its operation, and he sighed when he thought of this.
Thinking that he was in Beijing as a magistrate in the imperial history, it should be a very simple thing in his opinion, just a herdsman, and for governing a county, he even felt that with his own talent, it was a small fortune, but the period of acting for the county order undoubtedly subverted his cognition, and he found that the real official place did not need to control the people under his rule, but also needed spring ploughing, autumn planting and even taxes..... Many aspects are considered one by one, and the current food shortage is undoubtedly like roasting him on a fire, and every time he thinks of those people who are not clothed and hungry, he longs to let those people eat without eating or drinking.
However, he is not a saint, and he can only save one person without eating.....
With the large-scale food shortage, the displaced people from the surrounding states and counties flocked in, and the entire Sinan was not only overcrowded but also reached the precursor of the outbreak of the plague, so many people living together not only breed theft, but even there have been murders and food outside the city, although he wants to curb the development of the situation, but this is obviously in vain, and it is impossible for the county government officials to be sent out to run errands, because the city is the focus, and the officers with less than thirty people under him can only be used as a deterrent to guard the county government, so that the law and order in the city will not be paralyzed, As for other places, he can only love and help.
However, just now, all of a sudden, the entire Sinan City erupted in a burst of earth-shattering shouts.....
He couldn't help but be shocked, and his heart suddenly became worried, could it be.... Has the people changed?
Thinking of this, Liu Yi couldn't help but feel nervous, and walked quickly towards the gate of the county ya, now that he is an official, he must stand in front to turn the tide!
