Chapter 11: Hope
"The sin is my lord!" On the night when Lu Dengyun and others were escorted to Hengzhou, Xin Yuyong, the former governor of Chenzhou Weizhen, came to the Yamen of the Huguang General Army, and respectfully knelt down to salute Pang Yue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the same day, seeing that Lu Dengyun and even Jinpeng were taken down by Pang Yue with a thunderbolt, removed from their posts and confiscated their homes, Xin Yuyong also fell into despair for a while, thinking that as one of Lu Dengyun's cronies, he probably couldn't escape, so he was also uneasy. But unexpectedly, Pang Yue's army and the Jinyi guards who came to Chenzhou only took action against Lu Dengyun and others, but only monitored him, the magistrate. Until Lu Dengyun and the others were put on the prisoner car bound for Hengzhou, he was also safe and sound, and the officers and soldiers of Huguang Town who were monitoring him were also withdrawn.
Xin Yuyong is also a smart person, and after a little thought, he roughly guessed Pang Yue's intentions, so he hurriedly came to the Yamen of the General Army to ask to see Pang Yue, so as to show his attitude.
"Lord Xin, please get up!" Seeing Xin Yuyong kneeling in front of him, Pang Yue looked kind, smiled and stepped forward to help him up.
Last time, in the recital to Emperor Longwu, Pang Yue did not mention Xin Yuyong, although he knew that Xin Yuyong's background was not innocent, but he still did not include him in the list of impeachment. The reason why he did this, of course, Pang Yue had his own considerations, leaving Xin Yuyong, firstly, to stabilize people's hearts, and secondly, because he was new to the palace after all, he was not very familiar with many situations, and he had to rely on some of the original military attachés of the guard. Moreover, Xin Yuyong has relatively few stains in Lu Dengyun's small group, and he also has a certain vision and ability, and he shows his authority and favor to him through a series of means, and he may not be able to take it for his own use.
"When I was still on the way to Chenzhou, the town learned through various channels that Lord Xin, as the official of Chenzhou Weizhen, was capable and unique, and enjoyed a good reputation in the Acropolis and even the entire Chenzhou Mansion." After Pang Yue helped Xin Yuyong up, he seemed to say very naturally, "After coming to Chenzhou, this town has been looking for an opportunity to talk to Lord Xin, but unfortunately some time ago, he was busy with military affairs and was not able to take a break. ”
Xin Yuyong said in fear: "The adults are serious, and the subordinates don't dare!" "He is not a fool, he has seen Pang Yue's methods with his own eyes some time ago, how dare he take these polite words seriously?
Pang Yue waved his hand disappreciatively, asking Xin Yuyong not to be so restrained, and beckoned him to sit down and let the soldiers serve tea.
"My lord," Xin Yuyong plucked up the courage to speak, "In the past, my subordinates were blinded and blocked by a momentary small profit, and they did a lot of foolish things. Now that I think about it, I can't regret it......"
"Master Xin doesn't have to be so stubborn," Pang Yue smiled tolerantly, "Who can be guilty if a person is not a sage?" Everyone is confused, and the wrong things done at the moment do not mean anything, as long as you wake up and repent in time, it is not a big problem. ”
Xin Yuyong was stunned for a moment, and then there was obvious excitement in his tone: "Thank you for your magnanimity, subordinates...... The subordinates really can't reciprocate......" After speaking, he got up again and prepared to salute.
Pang Yue stretched out his hand to block it slightly, and Xin Yuyong had to sit back on the chair, and then he said: "Although this town has a bad temper and is jealous and hateful, it is definitely not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Even if Lord Xin has made some mistakes, he is not as greedy and heinous as Lu Dengyun, Lian Jinpeng and others, which this town clearly sees in his eyes. Lord Xin should not be obsessed with this matter. ”
Xin Yuyong, as a military attache of the guard, has been practicing martial arts all year round, coupled with his strong body, he can be regarded as quite brave, but just now he felt the unfathomable power from Pang Yue's seemingly careless light block, and he couldn't resist half a minute at all and sat back on the chair, and immediately felt a little more awe of this young chief military officer and commander. …,
Before Xin Yuyong could speak, Pang Yue's other words made his eyes widen: "In the future, there are many things that Lord Xin needs to worry about in the various matters of the Chenzhou Health Center. Lord Xin's talent is obvious to all, but it is really unfair to succumb to the position of pacifier all year round. Therefore, the town decided to promote Lord Xin to the imperial court soon after as the commander of the Chenzhou Guard. ”
"Subordinate ......" Xin Yuyong, who was excited, trembled, and only said a sentence for a long time, "The subordinates are willing to smear their liver and brains to repay the kindness of the adults!" ”
The next day, Xin Yuyong handed over all the military fields of the guards that he had privately owned, and under his leadership, the military attaches of the Acropolis and the rest of the guards of the thousands of households followed suit and began to spit out the embezzled military fields and other public property of the guards one after another. Of course, the vast majority of people will not be as conscious and simple as Xin Yuyong, and in the end, they will inevitably leave a part of it privately.
Pang Yue is naturally well aware of this situation, but he doesn't want to make a big deal about it for the time being, he really wants to take back all the public property of the embezzled health centers, so he has to die of exhaustion in the face of so many health centers in Huguang. As long as he can recover most of the embezzled military land and establish a rudimentary authority among the military attachés of the entire Huguang Guard, his goal will have almost been achieved. As for the military attachés of the guard station, they still have the habit of unclean hands and feet, there is no way, the atmosphere of an era cannot be changed by themselves, as long as they do not go too far, it is not impossible to turn a blind eye.
In a few days at the end of October, Pang Yue ordered the confiscated land of Lu Dengyun and others, as well as the embezzled military land voluntarily spit out by the military attachés of the guard, to be redivided and distributed to the bankrupt military households and low-ranking officers.
In the face of Pang Yue's move, those ordinary military households and low-level officers who have lost their land and become tenants of middle and high-level military attaches have rejoiced and rushed to tell each other, and the blank eyes of the past are now full of hope for the future life, they all know that as long as they have their own land, no matter how bad the status quo is, it is no longer a problem, and they and their families can completely reverse the status quo and solve the problem of food and clothing through their own sweat.
Just when the military households of Chenzhou Wei were all singing praises to Pang Yue, Pang Yue made another decision, ordering the military attaches of each guard to organize the military households under their jurisdiction to reclaim wasteland and expand cultivated land resources to at least 30 mu per household. In addition, all taxes and grain shall be exempted from all taxes and grains for three years on newly cultivated land.
The reason why Pang Yue made such a decision was to expand the source of grain and grass for the army in the future, after all, the army under his command may expand in the future, and more grain and grass will be needed; Second, it is aimed at improving the living standards of military households, so that they can increase their support for themselves and enable themselves to have a stable base and a reliable source of soldiers.
After learning of this order from the commander, the military households were even more ecstatic and fully supported. In the past, although they also thought about improving their living standards by reclaiming wasteland, without the support of Shangguan and the unified organization, it must have been quite difficult. Moreover, even if you work hard to reclaim some fields, you will inevitably be swallowed up by the higher-level military attachés in the future, so it is better to have more than one thing. But now that there is such a sympathetic commander who is sympathetic to the military households, I am afraid that no military attache of the guard will dare to take the risk of dismissal, raiding his home, or even cutting off his head to encroach on the land that the military households have worked so hard to cultivate. How could they not be excited?
As for the military attachés of the guard, they had already seen the methods of this newcomer commander of the capital, and even Lu Dengyun, the seemingly entrenched commander who had been guarding Chenzhou for many years, had also ended up being dismissed from his post and sent to Beijing because of his discord, how could they dare to show the slightest sign of disobedience except to obey and carry out the order?
Soon, in Chenzhouwei, a mighty reclamation movement kicked off, and the mountains and wastelands in the territory can be seen everywhere in the hard-working reclamation army. Although it was very hard, the military families did not complain at all, because they all knew that this time they were working hard for the future life of themselves and their families.
At the same time, Pang Yue sent an official letter to the rest of the guards under the jurisdiction of the Huguang Metropolitan Division, ordering them to re-clear the military fields and organize the military households to reclaim the famine, and selected some officers and soldiers and civil servants from the army to form a supervisory team to supervise, and prepared for the worst: if it was really a last resort, one or two of the most stubborn local snakes would be eradicated to set an example.
