At the same time that Li Shi said goodbye to his teacher Duan Hong, thousands of miles away in the north, there was also a farewell coming to an end.

"Fifth Brother Ke, there is a lot of labor to send, so don't pass by."

"Where, Brother Xiya is polite."

The two old men are facing each other, Yanjing in May, the head has already seen the martyrdom, and the old man and the sedan chair behind them are standing in the haze under the Chongwen Gate. Although the old man was just a simple Gebu coat, the palanquin man in the distance and the circle of people who served him were all dressed in silk cornet, revealing the noble identities of the two old men.

The old man, who was called "West Cliff", walked two steps, hesitated under his feet, and finally turned back, and saw another person looking at each other with a smile, obviously expecting his turn.

"Tang Xiya, do you still see me like this to Tian Kewu? What do you have to say, like a woman's husband, before getting into the sedan chair? ”

"Kewu, you, you...... Hehe......"

The two elders smiled tacitly, Tian Kewu is Tian Congdian, and Tang Xiya is Tang Youzeng. Tian Congdian was the former right general government, and Tang You was the current general political envoy, and the two had a great friendship. At present, Tang You once went to Chafu County, Guangdong as a messenger, and although he deliberately drove lightly when he went out of the city, Tian Congdian, a friend, could not say goodbye.

"Then don't talk to me about the scene, Kewu, this time I went to Guangdong, I don't want to be Manchu's escort anymore, what do you teach me?"

"The emperor sent you and Saltai to Guangdong together, in addition to the old practice of the Manchu and Han dynasties, you also know how much attention you have. Originally, it was nothing for you to be a guest, but now that the court is affected by the Kali case, even if you are a guest, the Hanchen will treat you as the master, so you have to take care of it. ”

"This is my difficulty, if I come out strong, then Saltai is a villain, if I retreat to the guest, he is the overlord, how can I suffer from both sides."

"So, Brother Xiya, you have to grasp the root of the matter before you have room to maneuver."

"The case of Yang Chongdou and Jin Qizhen, I have been investigating it in the Beijing News for two months, and I feel that it is a confused account, and now it is implicated in all the prefectures and counties in Guangdong, and the intention is how to smooth it out, and it is difficult to connect this matter with the matter."

"Brother Xiya's words are wrong, the newspaper is just a superficial article, although Brother Xiya has supervised the administration of science and government, and has been in charge of Fengtian Mansion, but you are still not familiar with the affairs of the people's officials, what is the matter, maybe it is a different scene. Hold the bottom of the matter, can't you also hold the foot? As long as there is a foundation in words, it doesn't matter if you are the guest when the time comes. ”

"Huh...... Back then, Kewu was able to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a county magistrate, relying on this matter. ”

"Although it is said to be the emperor's sage, it depends on one of my friends. Brother Xiya is going to Guangdong, if you talk to him, it may be beneficial. ”

"Oh? Who's that? ”

The two adults spoke softly, and talked for a long time, and then they broke up and said goodbye, and when parting, Tian Congdian said again: "Guangdong is not very peaceful recently, Brother Xiya should be careful." ”

Thanks to Tian Congdian, Tang You once entered the sedan chair, tasting Tian Congdian's words, a trace of coldness floated on his face, his eyes were leisurely, it seemed to penetrate the sedan chair, and he threw himself to the south, he whispered to himself: "Wealth is like an end, the sea of blood supports the boat, what I am afraid of is not chaos!" ”

As if echoing his heart, among the mountains in the northwest of England and Germany, a crowd of people in mixed clothes were gathering together, listening to a thin man talking.

"There are already miners and coal workers in Qujiang, Wengyuan, Lianshan and Qingyuan, there are more and more people seeking to survive, and the displaced people from Hunan are coming from Lianzhou, and they are also going to Yingde, we can't continue to shrink in the mountains, this is a great opportunity!"

This voice is cold and deep, it is Yang Chun who escaped under the encirclement and suppression. Yingde Mountain has many caves, as long as he escapes into the mountains, even the locals have no way to take him. But he has already lost a lot of weight on his cheeks, and his whole body is tanned, and he has obviously suffered a lot. The original pampered complexion was completely worn away, leaving only a sheath-like blade-like aura, and the momentum was more striking than the scheming classic history before.

"Yingde controls the Shaoguang waterway, and the connection between Shaoguang can be cut off, and the potential achievements can go straight down the river to Guangzhou, and the retreat can enter the Yinglian Mountain, and there is Hunan behind it, and the first step is to win Yingde, and our plan will be half!"

Yang Chun was like a leader who scolded Fang Xuan, and the whole of Guangdong was in the palm of his hand with a wave of his hand.

"Brothers on the road, always rely on piecemeal work, even three or five Tang soldiers have to avoid, what's the point of living like this!? Are you still worthy to be mixed up in the way? What's the difference with those outcasts? Now there are millions of mud legs waiting for us to take the lead, all of you have two heads, patting your chest and asking yourself the heart soaked in bitter water, such a good opportunity, just shrink in the mountains, waiting for it to pass? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chun changed his sneering expression: "There is a woman like an aries lying on the bed, your stick, just let it wilt in the crotch of your pants!?" ”

The two or three hundred people present listened quietly with bated breath, and when they heard this, they all burst out laughing.

"Is it the ass on top or ** on top?"

"It's not a man who doesn't stab it!"

"I heard that Huizhou Chaozhou is also in chaos, we can't let this woman be inserted by them first!"

Everyone responded one after another, and a smell of silver diffused with a faint smell of blood.

"I, Yang Chun, don't just think about my personal vendetta! Of all the people present, who doesn't have a blood feud with the government!? Now is the time to settle accounts with them one by one! ”

Yang Chun glanced at everyone, his eyes were dancing with blazing fire, and the faces of the people he liked were also flushed, whether it was greed or blood feud, it seemed that he could find a way to vent in this fire.

"Master Yang! You are familiar with the affairs of the government, and you have been righteous enough to our brothers in the road over the years, so we will all listen to you! This vote, no one wants to do it! ”

The head surnamed Meng beside him took advantage of the situation and immediately led the echo of all the bandit leaders present.

"Brother, I'll do it! Everyone, go and gather the brothers, and shake up the homeless people next to your cottage! All concentrated towards this plum blossom mountain! ”

Yang Chun took a deep breath, raised one hand high, and a waist knife in his hand reflected the dazzling sunlight, like a street lamp illuminating the avenue.

"Let's ...... It's the other way around! ”

Damn, wait for Lao Tzu to be reversed......

When Li Shi handed over three hundred taels of silver to Master Luo, and looked at the bright smile on this guy's face, his heart churned with the idea of breaking this Master Luo's big teeth.

Li Zhushou learned that Li Shi was going to take Fengtian Village to cultivate the fields, and he also supported it, and the original re-establishment of Lijia was still slowly being done, so he also accelerated the progress. In order to take care of the county clerk's office, and at the same time not let the government clerk's office find trouble, there is no shortage of dots, so Master Luo is here to collect this "handling fee".

But when there is blood, the benefits are revealed. Not to mention Lijia's reading ability, Li Zhushou also helped Li Shi pre-mark it on the map of the first book, of course, it will not be all under Li Shi's name, but scattered to all households in Fengtian Village. Twenty or thirty acres per household, adding up to more than two thousand acres, this is just a number, where the specific field is, Li Shi has the final say, so the wide wasteland sandwiched between the Lianjiang River and the Tianxin River is equivalent to being all circled by Li Shi.

At this time, there is no need to pay the field endowment, and it will be promoted after six years, and generally only the lower field will be promoted first, and the field endowment is not much. But for Li Shi, worrying about Tian Fu six years later, not only did he not pursue it, but it also hurt a little. Li Zhushou deliberately didn't fill in the time, on the one hand, he was waiting for the field to really open, and on the other hand, it was estimated that he was also saving weight for the "explanation" when he left office [1], and he was cunning, but Li Xian didn't bother to care.

"Don't say 2,000 acres, if you open 200 acres, you will have to pay 1,000 taels of silver, fourth brother, do you have enough money?"

Lin Dashu is an expert in agricultural affairs, and he was appointed by Li Xi as the head of land reclamation, so he would stand side by side with Li Xi on the riverbank, looking at this wasteland, his face was worried.

"First circle 200 acres of suitable land for reclamation, enough for next year's rations, I will pay for this money. What has to be started immediately is to build Zhuangzi, and everyone has to scrape together this money, and the money from the villagers selling land is just used here. ”

Li Shi's attention was not on the field, in the name of reclamation, his real intention was to build this place into a stronghold. The surrounding villages of Fengtian Village are densely packed, and there is little room for expansion on the hills, and the wasteland here is like a blank sheet of paper, just for him to send.

Before, I originally wanted to lend money to the villagers and prevent them from selling the land, not only to frame the villagers, but also to sell the land piecemeal. Later, I heard that the Peng family in the west was looking for land to settle outsiders, and all the land in Fengtian Village could be eaten, which just solved the troubles of Li Xi and the villagers.

"What about Liu Er?"

Li Xian asked, Lin Dashu pointed to a few boats coming from the river: "Then it should be him and those brick and tile masons, as well as well as some kind of workers, this Zhuangzi let his Liu family mix, is it appropriate?" ”

Liu Cun really depends on the service industry for a living, bricklayers, well drillers, everything, no wonder Zhong Shangwei can rely on Liu Cun to control the Huangzhai tens of thousands of people. Now that Zhong Shang's position has fallen, Liu Cun is forced to make a living, so he has to "surrender" to Li Shi, and Li Shi will use it easily. is different from the era of Zhong Shang, the contact person is no longer Mrs. Liu, but Liu Xingchun, who Li Xian feels is still pleasing to the eye.

Li Shi shook his head: "Little Liu Village, what are you worried about, Zhong Shangwei will call them as dogs, and I will turn them into sheep ......"

After a while, Liu Xingchun went ashore and came to Li Xian's side, with an eager expression.

"Fourth brother, the sketch of your Zhuangzi, several housemakers have seen it, and they all say that there is a problem."

Li Xian sighed expressionlessly, of course there is a problem, he is completely in accordance with the standards of the military village in the design, and also adds a lot of design concepts of later generations, in fact, it is not a thing of later generations, Song and Ming have it, but after the Manchu Dynasty stole and occupied China, there was no more achievements in city construction, and many things were lost.

For example, the planning of neighborhoods, underground drainage ditches, garbage disposal, and the layout of wells and waterways are too different from the current Zhuangzi town.

"Unless there is a problem of actual harm, let them leave the rest alone, and follow my sketch to make a detailed drawing."

Li Xi is not a professional in urban construction, but as a reporter, he still has a somewhat superficial understanding of urban construction, which is enough to use in a small village.

"Yes, yes, I will command them. In addition......"

Liu Xingchun said with a complicated expression.

"The craftsmen looked at the design and said that this shelf is too big, and there are no tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this Zhuangzi can't be brought down, fourth brother, you ......."

He didn't dare to say anything for fear that Li Shi would not be able to do it and would be in arrears of his salary.

Li sneered, too big? The small Zhuangzi of more than 100 households is also called too big?

"Don't worry, start from the ground and the ground, and pay one layer of silver, and never fall short."

When the underground and surface works are completed, it will take at least a month or two, and Li Xi is not worried about the silver.

"Shall we start panning for gold now?"

When Liu Xingchun left, Lin Dashu, who was frightened by this amount, thought that Li Xian wanted to move the gold.

"No, before the gold panning, there will be some blood."

With the matter of reclamation and the establishment of the village in sight, Li Xi will devote all his energy to one thing, a major event that must shed blood.

[1: When the head of the county government is handed over, in addition to opening the treasury accounts, the handover of money and grain acres is also very important, and it is often used as a bargaining weight for the predecessors and successors. In the later period of the Kangxi Dynasty, the local deficit was serious, and the so-called big confession and small confession appeared. The big explanation is that the accounts are completely handed over clearly, and there is no entanglement. The small explanation is to list the arrears, and the successor is not responsible, and if you want to collect the debt, you will find the predecessor. If Li Zhushou holds a large area of acres that have not been promoted, he can make a fuss about the time when this field is registered. As long as the time is filled in to the year of his departure, it will be difficult for the successor to enjoy the benefits of the promotion and taxation, after all, it is rare to know that the county can serve for six years. If the successor is easy to talk and let go of the accounts, Li Zhushou can fill in the time forward, so that the successor has the opportunity to enjoy the extra money and grain, and the new land reclamation will become a weight for explanation. Li Zhushou has only been in office for two years, and Li Xi is not worried that he will fill in the random information, at most, the six-year tax exemption has become a four-year tax exemption. 】
