Chapter 164: The Coming of the Post-Yang Shen Era

Zhu Houhuang clenched his hand on the envelope, clenched it little by little, and asked, "Master, can you not go?" ”

Yang Shen did not speak. Zhu Houhuang was a little disappointed, because sometimes, he didn't speak. It's also an attitude.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Also, the master is a prime minister, how can he stay in this barren place often." ”

"Shizi," Yang Shen spoke, and he used this old name to mean that he was not speaking as the chief historian of King Yong, but as his teacher again. said: "Dongyong may have been a barren land before, but it will definitely not be in the future. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I don't know when the master will leave?" Zhu Houhuang sighed, his heart was empty, knowing that with the plate of Yongguo, he still couldn't attract first-class talents in the world.

Yang Shen said: "I don't know, but I should spend the New Year in Dongyong this year." If anything, it's next year. Do whatever you want right away. Now I'm still your strong backing. ”

Yang Shen knows Zhu Houhuang best, Zhu Houhuang seems to be atmospheric, but in fact he is very small, and he is reluctant to share a little military power. Every new place must be discovered for yourself. This is said to be good, it is a matter of personal involvement, and if it is not good, it is too petty.

Even for Yang Shen, the titular Yongwang Xiang, he has no decision-making power, and Yang Shen's long history is not just an errand to do six books.

The politics of the law and the circle of the law are all spoken by Zhu Houhuang. and his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang is fundamentally a problem.

Zhu Houhuang turned a few circles in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "Take advantage of the fact that Master Yang is still there, clean up the entire Dongyong, and after Master Yang leaves, I will concentrate on internal affairs." Let's run Dongyong well. ”

Zhu Houhuang smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yang, I wish you a prosperous journey, maybe in the future, I will trouble you." ”

Yang Shen pondered for a while and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the minister will definitely find a way to recommend you a qualified Yongwang Changshi." ”

At this moment, Yang Shen thought about the list of ministers in the court, and then contacted the upcoming rebellion of King Ning, so he circled several targets.

The errand of King Yong's long history is not big, but not everyone can do it, although the entire area of Yongguo is not as big as a prefecture in the mainland, but the things here are not something that a prefect can handle.

The form of Yongguo is complex, with the system designed by Zhu Houhuang, the government of Yongguo must be able to manage everyone, of course, this kind of classical-imperialism in the pre-Qin era is not at all what a great Ming prefect can handle, and the trouble is that everything in Yongguo is new, and there are no rules to follow. Ordinary followers can't do this position. Those who have the ability to sit firmly in this position are bound to be high-ranking officials in Daming.

On the second day, Zhu Houhuang immediately set off for Beigang, he wanted to do a good job, and get ready for the advent of the post-Yang Shen era.

Soon after the ship, it had already arrived at the North Harbor.

However, the current North Port is very different from the previous North Port. Zhu Houhuang was also taken aback.

Beigang was originally a natural harbor, but the port measures are very few, only a few trestle bridges, and there are not enough ships, but now the entire Beigang port is crowded with ships, there are not many big ships, but there are many small boats, and even there are a few temporary trestle bridges nearby, which are also densely packed with ships.

If it weren't for Zhu Houhuang sending someone to spread the word in advance, it is estimated that he would not even have a place to stop now.

As soon as Zhu Houhuang's ship docked, Li Shigui immediately bowed down and said, "The magistrate of Chenbeigang County will meet His Highness." ”

Yu Dayou also bowed to the ground and said, "The county lieutenant of Beigang County has come to see His Highness." ”

Zhu Houhuang said, "No courtesy," he frowned, and said, "Why is Beigang like this now?" ”

Li Shigui said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Highness, now is not the place to speak, please speak further." ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't say much, and left with Li Shigui with his servants.

After getting off the boat and entering Beigang Town, Zhu Houhuang's eyes were in chaos. None of them are human. There are more people in the prime of life, and there are only about 10,000 people in the small town of Beigang, and even among these 10,000 people, there are thousands of slaves taken from the dog slave country, but now Zhu Houhuang doesn't need to count them, he knows that the population of Beigang has at least doubled.

Li Shigui took Zhu Houhuang into the city, he must have cleared the scene, but even if he cleared the scene, Zhu Houhuang's eyes saw that there were still people everywhere. There are shacks erected in the corners of the streets and alleys, as well as temporary thatched houses outside the small town of Beigang.

In Zhu Houhuang's heart, he was surprised and happy, and he was so surprised that unconsciously, there were so many outsiders in Beigang, and he was even more happy that there were so many people in Beigang.

"Tell me, what's going on?" After Li Shigui led Zhu Houhuang to the county office, Zhu Houhuang asked.

"Your Highness." Li Shigui said with a bitter face: "Since His Highness announced the discovery of gold in Beigang, tens of thousands of people have entered the mining area through Beigang. ”

Of course, Li Shigui knew about Zhu Houhuang's plan to use gold mines as bait to attract population, and he originally thought that this thing was feasible, but in fact it was too feasible.

As soon as the Beigang gold mine came out, it became the biggest legend along the coast of Daming, and countless people along the coast who wanted to be rich and noble came to Beigang.

At the time of the forbidden sea, everyone who wanted to go to sea and dared to go to sea, even if they were not outlaws, was about the same, such a person would be afraid of the government? What's more, the so-called Beigang County is weak, and it is not as good as a big Zhuangzi in Daming. How can such power be awe-inspiring?

Yes, there are still many county soldiers in Beigang, but these people still have to oppress a lot of slaves, and they still have their own fields to be cultivated and cultivated. You can't be vigilant all the time.

Fortunately, Zhu Houhuang left Yu Dayou behind.

Yu Dayou has obtained the true biography of Li Liangqin, not to mention the rest, a martial arts, a sword and a stick. Although there are only a few dozen brothers left from King Yong's personal soldiers, they rush left and right to kill, shocking Xiaoxiao. It shook these outlaws. Got the nickname of King Yu Yan. Only then did King Yong's rule over Beigang be ensured.

However, because of this, the rule of Beigang County is fundamentally superficial, and the basis of his rule has been encroached upon by dynamic civil organizations.

This point is up to Yu Dayou to report.

Yu Dayou said: "Your Highness, Beigang County is okay now, at least there is no murder on the street, but there will be one or two corpses every night, but in the mining area, killing people and selling goods is almost a blatant thing." They are mainly divided into three groups, one group is the Min people. This group of Min people is almost all born as robbers. The means are extremely ruthless, not haunting the North Harbor, but a part of the monopoly mining area. Whoever opens a mine must sell their gold to them, or they will surely die. The ministers are also beyond the reach of the whip. The minister also suspected that this group had opened another port nearby, so they did not go to the North Port. Then there is the sand gang, this group of people are all northerners, listening to the accent is from the Qilu area, and the ministers can't figure it out, but they are quite a lot, but they are not as strong as the Fujian people, and they mostly transport goods in Beigang, so they also pay taxes to the county government. ”

When Yu Dayou talked about paying taxes, he understated it, but Li Shigui knew that in order to suppress this group of people, Yu Dayou didn't know how much bloody rain he had experienced. Only then did he force the Sand Gang to pay taxes to Beigang.

"There is also a group of people, the boat gang, who do not deal in the gold mining business, but in the business of smuggling people." Yu Dayou said.

"Oh," Zhu Houhuang was the most sensitive to the population, and when he heard Yu Dayou say it, he immediately drew his attention and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mining is the most labor-intensive. The people who just started mining are mining by themselves, and later, they caught some Yi people to open the mine, but the nearby Yi people are not stupid, and they have clashed with these mining people several times, and after suffering a big loss, they have already gone south and dare not stay near Beigang. So they had no choice but to sell people from the mainland, but," Yu Dayou said: "The people of the boat gang are extremely cruel, and they don't treat those people as human beings at all, and most of the people who die every day in Beigang are trafficked over, and the number of people who die every day in the mining area is even more incalculable." ”

Yu Dayou said indignantly.

"How can it be?" Zhu Houhuang took the case.
