At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "I have been thinking, this Liaodong is also a fertile field, but there are countless homeless people in the pass, if you can settle the homeless people in Liaodong and develop Liaodong, although this place is barren and there is not much grain in the land, but how much is what you plant, I hope that someone can sit here, not only to attract homeless people, but also to prevent foreign races, Zhang Qing recommended you, thinking that you are the best candidate." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mao Wenlong's heart was pounding.

He actually understands very well that the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty is only responsible for the military.

And civil affairs, such as soliciting displaced people, are naturally managed by the governor, so how dare the general army trespass?

Now that His Majesty has asked him to recruit the displaced people and reclaim the land, isn't it even the power of civil affairs to be granted?

Not to mention the word trust, this also means that he does not have to be restrained by the so-called governor for the time being.

You must know that Mao Wenlong is known as the overseas emperor, and he has long been scolded in the DPRK.

Such a notorious reputation, to put it mildly, even if the emperor does not kill him, he must be recalled to the capital to prevent it.

But who would have thought that not only could he stay in Liaodong, but His Majesty also gave him such trust.

Mao Wenlong's heart was touched, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jingyi.

Liao Guogong, good man!

I didn't even send him any money, and he trusted me so much and recommended me so strongly.

Mao Wenlong immediately said gratefully: "Your Majesty is so gracious, and the Duke of Liao is so trusted, and the ministers dare not do their best." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said: "Didn't I say it, saying these words is not what you are good at, you say it is good, if it is not good, it is not good, be categorical." ”

"Yes, yes." Mao Wenlong nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Jingyi stood aside, the corners of her lips hooked, and she smiled slightly.

In fact, Mao Wenlong is indeed the best candidate, and it is imminent to reclaim Liaodong, but if Liaodong is a piece of virgin land, if it is to be developed, what he is most afraid of is to fall into the same situation as Guannei.

Those Liao generals have too deep interests in Liaodong, and letting them settle the displaced people is tantamount to letting them and their relatives stake their land here.

Even if other ministers are invited, those ministers are best at dealing with the gentry.

At that time, in the land of Liaodong, I don't know how many so-called poetry and book heirlooms will be raised.

Mao Wenlong is different, on the one hand, he has a lot of management experience, after all...... There are 200,000 people in Dongjiang Town, and it is so difficult, so he led everyone to survive.

You must know that the ghost place in Dongjiang Town is a barren land, crops can't grow, and the food that the court can give him is just a little, but it still feeds so many people, and it doesn't cause mutinies and chaos like other places.

This proves at least two things.

The first is that Mao Wenlong is very popular among these refugees, and everyone thinks that he is a fair person, so even if there is a lack of food and clothing, everyone can bear it.

The second is that Mao Wenlong, who is not too greedy, nor is he bent on benefiting his relatives, otherwise, the amount of food is not enough to waste, and the soldiers and civilians up and down Dongjiang Town would have starved to death a large number of people.

The people who follow Mao Wenlong can be seen from some backbones around him, such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, etc., some are from mining, and some are born and died in unknown years, in fact, they are too poor to know when their birthdays will be.

But if there is some way out in Liaodong, or if the family is solid, he will never flee to Dongjiang Town, but he is afraid that he will run to Jinzhou a long time ago, or he will be demoted to Jiannu.

This shows that Mao Wenlong, a native of Zhejiang, has a deep relationship with the Liao people, and even has a very stiff relationship with each other, and has no friendship with the gentry.

Such a person, let him attract the exiles, at least there will be no situation that benefits the gentry and Liao generals.

As for the generals under Mao Wenlong, such as Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and Kong Youde, to be honest, of course they were notorious in later generations, but at least at this time, they still followed Mao Wenlong to resist Jiannu.

It's not that Zhang Jingyi has the heart to excuse them, but if Yuan Chonghuan hadn't killed Mao Wenlong, these people who were desperate for Mao Wenlong might not have been able to demote Jiannu.

In a sense, Zhang Jingyi has a certain sympathetic attitude towards the ordinary Liao people who have reduced the construction of slaves, these people are from a poor background, and they have not received the favor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty abandoned them, and the officials exploited and oppressed them.

The most hateful are precisely those who are so-called people who have received the grace of the country, those who have meritorious fame, occupy the best resources, and get all the benefits, but they can turn their heads and become the loyal ministers of Jiannu and the enemies of the Ming Dynasty!

At noon, the student brought a meal, it was a hot stewed pork, the Emperor of the Apocalypse ate it with a great appetite, he did not sleep all night, after eating, the excitement barely passed, and he rested in the palace.

Zhang Jingyi is different, last night, he slept until dawn, and his spirit was not bad at this time, so naturally he did not disturb the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and waited outside the hall.

Mao Wenlong chased him out, and when the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not there, Mao Wenlong bowed directly to Zhang Jingyi with grateful: "The last general has seen the Duke of Liao." ”

Zhang Jingyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "How can General Mao make this great gift, get up, don't be like this." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "I am reckless in nature, even Wei Zhongxian is powerful, I don't look at him much, a eunuch, what kind of thing, dare to let the people of the world set up a shrine for him!" I have money to eat, and I don't do it when I feed the dogs. ”

After that, Mao Wenlong said again: "But the last general is willing to give this salute to the Duke of Liao, because the Duke of Liao has saved thousands of people!" You, the Donglin Army, I don't know how many loyal people of my Ming Dynasty are like Mu Ganlin, first, I am doing this on their behalf, and secondly, because the Liao State Duke is high and bright, and the last general will admire your person! ”

"Over the years, I have read countless people in Zhejiang, Liaodong, and Beijing, and above this temple, it can be called a person, and it is only a Yuan Xianggong."

"Yuan Chonghuan?"

"He is also worthy of being called a father?" Mao Wenlong said: "I'm talking about Yuan Keli, the former governor of Denglai. ”

Zhang Jing nodded: "I have also heard of him, he is an official and attacks the gentry everywhere." When he was a small magistrate in Suzhou Mansion, he rehabilitated unjust prisons, enforced the law like a mountain, and handled all cases impartially, not avoiding the powerful. ”

Mao Wenlong said: "Exactly, other people, all of them say benevolence, righteousness and integrity, but behind their backs, they are all reluctant things, all of them are together, bending the law for personal gain, and they are all unbearable." ”

Zhang Jing laughed and said, "If people listen to this, I'm afraid they won't spare you." ”

Mao Wenlong sneered: "So what? That's what I do, I don't care what others say. ”

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment: "Actually, the last general doesn't really avoid these people, it's just ...... was really miserable by them, if the last general was in cahoots with them, then what would the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town do? The people of Dongjiang Town, Grandpa, you have seen it with your own eyes, they have left their hometowns and their homeland, and in that Dongjiang River, live dogs are not as good, every day they are either hungry or frozen, and they have to resist the Jiannu people at any time, and they are alone. But who is seeing it? If I learn those dog things, Dongjiang...... It's long gone, why now? ”

Zhang Jingyi patted him on the shoulder: "So, let's settle the displaced people well." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, and then, Mao Wenlong got up and said: "I always feel that my grandfather has a bigger plan, to make a difference in Liaodong, right?" ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said: "It seems that although you are reckless, you are also a very shrewd person, what, can you tell me?" ”

Mao Wenlong said: "Recruit displaced people and grant land, you must know that most of the land here used to belong to those Liao generals and the gentry of Jinzhou City...... Although the Jiannu occupy this place, it stands to reason that they have taken their land, and now that they have recovered it, it is logically not a borderless land......"

This Mao Wenlong is really shrewd.

Zhang Jing looked at Mao Wenlong with a smile: "You really have two brushes, in this world, where is there a borderless land, I have checked, let's talk about Shenyang, in the past, there were many lands here that belonged to Li Chengliang and the Li family, and the title deed was in their hands, right, but the Jiannu people occupied this place, and this land was taken away by the Eight Banners." And now, the Ming Dynasty has recovered this place, you can talk about it, this land...... Is it the Li family's, or His Majesty's? ”

"This ......," Mao Wenlong said, "It stands to reason that if the Li family comes to ask for ...... It's not for nothing. ”

"You're right, after all...... Do they still have title deeds? This land of Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, which piece of land has no owner? That's the problem, so ...... What if everyone asks for it? ”

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is only afraid that you have to give it." ”

"Why?"

Mao Wenlong said: "This matter is very important, once you don't give it, then you will offend the Liao generals and gentry in the entire Liaodong." They can't afford to mess with Jiannu, can't they afford to mess with Your Majesty? ”

"What's more, not only the gentry of Liaodong want to make trouble, but I am afraid that the gentry of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in Guannai, seeing that His Majesty has recovered Liaodong, will not return the land to the owner, and they will inevitably have cold teeth! Isn't this the title deed in their hands also unsecure? Therefore, the gentry of the world will also oppose it, and at that time, the hundred officials in the court will ......"

Zhang Jing smiled and said: "Actually, you are right, this is called a community of interests, the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body." But...... You can rest assured that you can recruit the homeless, there is nothing to worry about in this matter. ”

"Why?"

"As long as the original masters are all not in this world, then naturally, there will be no master here." Zhang Jing hooked her lips and smiled.

It's just that behind this smile, there seems to be a trace of edge.

Mao Wenlong shuddered.
