Huang Liji's view is different from others.

He, the first assistant, is the great butler of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he was more concerned about the issue of money and food.

Zhang Jing said: "What the Zhang family needs is not money and food, if they rely on money and food to support, then the resettlement of displaced people will be regarded as a failure." These homeless people, they have the strength and are willing to endure hardships, I say something unpleasant, they are called thieves, but in fact, they are the most willing to endure hardships in the world, and such people cannot be found anywhere. ”

Zhang Jing paused, and then continued: "The reason why they have been forced to this point today is because they have strength, but some people don't even give them the opportunity to sell their strength, they are willing to endure this hardship, but they not only teach them to endure hardship, but also teach them to starve." There are even quite a few people, as far as I know, who are willing to starve, but what they can't bear is to see their wives and children and parents starved to death one by one. ”

Therefore, the essence of appeasement is to give them work, so that they can be self-reliant, let them work hard, they can harvest, as long as this is done, then it is enough. Therefore...... To settle them, the first thing you need is land! Liaodong is fertile for thousands of miles, and the wheat seeds of rye, the Zhang family can do their best to provide them, and the cattle and horses needed for land reclamation cannot be counted on by the imperial court, because the cattle and horses in the customs are far less than the cattle and horses outside the gates. The forests were given to them, and they were allowed to cut them down and build houses to keep them warm, and each household could open up 300 acres of wasteland, and the land that was cleared out was theirs. but not to be bought and sold, but to be inherited forever. ”

Zhang Jingyi took a break and continued: "In addition, the money and grain in the early stage is indeed a amount, and this amount does need to be allocated by the imperial court, but in my opinion, it is still not to adjust the grain, only the money. In the past two years, rye has begun to be promoted outside the customs and a lot has been planted, and in addition, there is also the Korean side, which can also buy some, which is enough. In fact, what I mean in the end is that the imperial court can't always use relief to solve problems......"

Zhang Jing paused and said: "With the idea of relief, on the one hand, this natural disaster occurs every year, and the people who have lost their land also have it every year, and there are disasters every year. Second, is it really almsgiving that the people are counting on? The so-called propertied people have perseverance, what they want is to have property, what they want is a way out, a way to support themselves and let themselves live a good life. ”

Immediately, Zhang Jingyi looked at Li Zicheng and said, "Brother Li and Brother Zhang are both here. ”

When Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong heard Zhang Jingyi call them brothers, they hurriedly said, "Don't dare." ”

Zhang Jingyi continued to speak freely: "After you arrive outside the Guan, it will definitely be difficult at first, but to give you land, give you land for grazing, give you mines to mine, you have to start from scratch, you have to cultivate, you have to spring plough, and you have to build your own houses, it will definitely be very difficult, but you know the displaced people best, I only ask you, are they afraid of the bitter cold?" ”

Li Zicheng subconsciously said: "Don't be afraid." ”

Zhang Jing asked again: "Are you afraid of hard work?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "How can people who don't want their lives be afraid of hard work? ”

Zhang Jing said: "So good ......"

Zhang Jing glanced back at Huang Liji: "Please ask the imperial court to allocate a million taels of silver, and I will settle hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and today I will use my own head as a guarantee, and they will never make trouble again." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong again, and said with a solemn expression: "I can guarantee for you, and you have to give me a guarantee, you have to keep to yourself." ”

Huang Liji was greatly relieved when he heard a million taels of silver.

As far as the current Ming Dynasty's finances are concerned, one million taels of silver is actually nothing.

Huang Liji hurriedly nodded and said: "If Zhang Dudu is willing to take on the big responsibility, Your Majesty, the minister will have nothing to say, but ...... Zhang Dudu still can't be careless, and he must be safe everywhere. ”

This can't be blamed on him, as the head of the cabinet, he is heartbroken in everything.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said: "Of course I don't dare to be careless, but fortunately, in Xinxian, thousands of scribes have been transferred out of the customs." These scribes, now in Liaodong, have also cultivated many shrewd and capable people. Let them calculate the money and grain, be responsible for clearing the fields, and manage the horses......... There will never be any major mistakes. ”

Emperor Tianqi said at this time: "When people arrive outside the pass, all ethnic groups live together, if there are horse bandits and thieves to incite rebellion, or attack the homeless, but it is worth the embankment, originally I planned to take Li and Zhang as the commanders, so I might as well be extra gracious, and Li will become the chief military officer, and Zhang Xianzhong will be the deputy chief military officer, under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong County Palace." Okay, I'm tired today, and I'll discuss the details tomorrow. ”

So everyone saluted and obediently retired.

Zhang Jingyi did not stay, he left the palace with one mind, and left home for many days, at this time he was like an arrow, but there was a humane behind him: "Your Highness......"

Zhang Jingyi stopped his steps and looked back, but it was Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

As soon as Zhang Jing remembered something, he said: "You are in the capital and don't have a place to live yet, so it's better to be like this, and I'll let someone take you to the military academy to live temporarily." ”

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong clasped their fists, and first Li Zicheng said ashamedly: "I waited for myself to invest in the Ming Dynasty and saw the prestige of the official army, only to know that I am just an ant, if Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are determined to attack and do not give me a way to live, then it will be as easy as crushing an ant, and today we and the lives of our brothers, where is still ......."

This is true, a smart person, first of all, can judge the situation.

Some people, even if they are defeated, still do not admit defeat, or they do not admit defeat verbally.

And like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they no longer need to fight at all, so they know the huge difference in strength between them. In other words, the life and death of the rogues is really just a matter of people's thoughts.

Now that I have chosen to be appeased, this is actually giving everyone a chance to live.

Zhang Jingyi seemed to hear Li Zicheng's sincerity, he put his hands behind his back, and smiled: "I know why you are opposed, I don't really care what kind of people you Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are, and no matter what kind of intentions you have, in fact, these are not important, the important thing is that today, there are enough killings, and it was the court that couldn't resist the homeless people at the beginning, but it turned the other way around, and today ...... Making up for your mistakes is not only to give you a chance, but also not the imperial court to give yourself a chance? ”

After a pause, Zhang Jingyi continued: "I won't say anything superfluous, I hope we can work together!" Zhangjiashi is in Liaodong, and you will also inhabit Liaodong in the future, and Liaodong will be the family business of the Zhang family in the future, and it is also your home. The other things I say to you are actually false, what holy grace is mighty, what is brave and loyal, what monarchs and ministers, everyone is a smart person, and it is in vain, but what I can say is only one sentence, and the place in Liaodong will not hide it from you, it is still bitter and cold there, but it doesn't matter, we have to live like people. ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "This is the truth, to be honest, before I was still worried about the old Zhang, but seeing His Royal Highness so real, I was down-to-earth, damn it, in the past, no one was a person, a ghost was not a ghost, but after that, we will die and live like a person." ”

Zhang Jingyi thought for a while, stared at Zhang Xianzhong, but remembered something, and couldn't help but say: "There is one more thing, among the displaced people, the two of you, you have to select a group of people, young and smart, choose a hundred people each, recommend to study in the military academy, and after leaving school, you will still serve in Liaodong, and you can be the team of the two chief military officers in the future." ”

He paused, then smiled and said, "Actually, when I say this, you must be suspicious and think that this is an attempt to divide you, but in fact...... I'm looking for talent right now, and I just want to recruit more talent. ”

As soon as Zhang Jingyi put forward this request, if he said that he would borrow the displaced people to enter the military academy and let them become the backbone from now on, he would have the intention of using it for himself.

But another meaning is because of Zhang Xianzhong.

To be honest, Zhang Jingyi may not know about Li Zicheng, but this Zhang Xianzhong, don't look reckless on the surface, in fact, he really has a pair of fucking vicious eyes.

This Zhang Xianzhong accepted four godsons, in history, whether it is Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, or Ai Nengqi, they are the most famous figures in the world, even if Sun Kewang, who did not keep the evening festival in the end, can be regarded as a momentary masterpiece.

Zhang Jingyi didn't dare to say anything about the people selected by Zhang Xianzhong, but he dared to say that maybe after three or five years, or ten or twenty years, they must all be world-famous figures.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were very happy, but in fact, at this time, since they were already determined to die, they wanted to be a little more involved with Zhang Jing.

Therefore, Li Zicheng said: "This is easy to do, I have already established it in my chest, and I can draw it up tomorrow." ”

Zhang Xianzhong said in a deep voice: "A hundred people...... I need to hesitate, if it is one hundred and fifty people, I am full of talents here, there are all kinds of people, I know everything in my heart. ”

"Okay, then one hundred and fifty." Zhang Jingyi is happy.

Now the most lacking is still talent, what kind of talent is in short supply, with Zhang Xianzhong to check, this Liaodong system can be improved sooner or later.

"Again...... The two of you also have to find a way to repair books for all kinds of rogues. Now that the big Kou is gone, there are also small Kou everywhere, some of them are kings of the mountains, and some are still wandering around, contact them, and tell them that instead of being so precarious, it is better to follow this king and find a way out together. ”

"Yes."

As soon as Zhang Jing explained, he turned over and got on the horse: "I have to go home, I haven't been home for many days, and I am very worried about it, you also went to rest earlier, Liu Wenxiu." ”

"Yes." A brocade guard on the side flashed out.

Zhang Jingyi said a sentence: "Lead them to the military academy and settle the students." ”
