Chapter 45 Garrison of Northern Taizhou

Li Yang followed behind Sun Yuanwu and whispered: Your Excellency will resettle these 30,000 victims, and your subordinates will build nearly 10,000 winter houses and prepare food, and you will also draw up a plan to allow your subordinates for 10 days

Sun Yuanwu nodded, "Hmm, then you as soon as possible."

Li Yang bowed respectfully: There is one more thing for your subordinates, I hope your lord can allow it

Sun Yuanwu responded: Say something

Li Yang responded: Your subordinates implore Han Juzheng, a student from Taizhou, to go to Alan County to serve as the acting county leader to help his subordinates resettle the victims

Sun Yuanwu thought for a while: The Han Juzheng you are talking about is the son of Han Wenshan

Li Yang replied: Exactly

Sun Yuanwu put his hands behind his back: I heard that this Han Juzheng is a kind person, completely different from his father Han Wenshan, this matter is allowed by the government If he does a good job, the government will promote him as a county magistrate

Li Yang clasped his fists and saluted: Master Xie's subordinates will retire first

In a narrow alley, Wuyang and Wuyang are crowded with victims, there is a straw mat on the ground, and several members of the family are sitting on it, covered with only a thin linen coat, the weather at the end of September has a huge temperature difference between morning and evening, and the victims are only a few people huddled together to keep warm

Li Yang looked at the victims in the alley on the side of the road: the plateau to see if any of these victims knew how to trade, and brought these people back to Alan Village

Gao Yuan nodded his head and shouted softly into the alley, "Hey, how many people here know how to craft - carpenters - masons - blacksmiths - leather craftsmen - ceramics - dyers, and those who know these skills bring their families with us."

A group of victims got up from the ground and walked towards us step by step

Yuan Kui asked softly: What kind of craftsmanship do you all know?

The victim whispered, "I know how to be a carpenter."

"I know how to be a blacksmith"...

Gao Yuan looked at the victims: Okay, you all line up and go with us to Alan Village

Li Yang asked softly: How many people can there be in these disaster victims on the plateau?

Gao Yuan took a closer look: about 5,000 people

Just as he was about to leave, a young man suddenly ran over and stopped Li Yang, who was riding on a horse, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", looking at his appearance, he was in his early 20s, and he was quite handsome: Engong buried his father's great kindness and could not repay it, if Engong needed to employ people, I would like to follow

Li Yang looked at the young man with a smile: What is your name?

The young man responded: The little one is named Tie Gui'er

Li Yang asked softly: Then what kind of skills do you know?

Tie Gui'er thought for a while: Although Engong and I don't know how to do the craft, I have the strength to do some rough work, and I hope that Engong can take me and my elderly mother in

Li Yang glanced into the alley: Just take your mother with us for your filial piety

Tie Gui nodded happily, "Thank you, Gong En", turned to the alley, helped the old mother out, and joined the crowd

After returning to the manor, let Li Song place these victims outside the manor first, Li Yang called Gao Yuan, Yuan Kui and others to the hall, and everyone sat down on chairs and looked at Li Yang

Li Yang: Mr. Sun asked Anlan Village to try to resettle 30,000 victims, and everyone said that they would see how to resettle the 30,000 victims, and that 10,000 houses should be built for these victims to live in before the winter

Gao Yuan was surprised when he heard this: Why did Lord Sun let Anlan Village resettle 30,000 victims, let's not talk about the food for 30,000 people, it is impossible to build 10,000 houses before winter, and there are still more than 400 houses in Alan Village that have not been built, so you should discuss such a big matter with us

Yuan Kui had a gloomy face: We donated 5 million catties of food to Lord Sun to relieve the victims, which is already very conscious, but now we are still asking us to resettle 30,000 victims, so what do you want the official family to do, if the official is not in charge of the people, it is better to go home and pick up the child, it is not that we blame you, but you decided too hastily in this matter

Li Long said softly: Young master, we have resettled these victims, and the credit will be credited to Lord Sun at that time, I knew that we should not donate the 5 million catties of grain at the beginning, and how good it would be to sell these grains this year and use them to build Alan County

Li Daniu: Young Master will have a whole year until next year's autumn harvest, just raise these 30,000 people and get a lot of food in that year, and these disaster victims will have nothing to do all day long

Li Yang leaned sideways on the chair with his left hand and leaned sideways on the chair and looked at everyone without squeaking, Gao Yuan saw that Li Yang had not said anything: Then what are you planning to do about this matter, you tell the big guy

Li Yang sat up straight: 30,000 disaster victims may be just disaster victims in everyone's eyes, but in my opinion, this is 30,000 laborers, these people in front of them are indeed a burden, but the long-term perspective is different, Master Sun allocated us 20,000 silver coins to settle these disaster victims, and there are still some leftovers after paying off the debts outside with these money, and the 4 million catties of grain in our hands should be able to last for a while

Gao Yuan's eyes frowned: This is not a long-term solution, you said that these people are 30,000 laborers, is there still a big move in Alan County

Li Yang responded: Everyone can rest assured that we will not raise these people in vain, let these people go to Longfeng Mountain to dig two riverbeds in winter, and lead them to open up at least 100,000 acres of fields in the spring next year

Everyone present was surprised when they heard this, digging the riverbed and cultivating 100,000 acres of land does require a lot of labor, if it is only on the thousands of people in Alan Village, it will take several years, everyone knows very well that this is a big gamble, the greater the risk, the greater the reward, but this time the sweetness is too tempting to make everyone willing to take this risk

Yuan Kui pondered for a moment: This idea is good, but it is impossible to build 10,000 winter houses in 20 days

Guanshan got up and whispered: It is not impossible to build 10,000 houses before winter

Li Yang, Gao Yuan and the others were full of anticipation on their faces: Guanshan Daoist, tell me about it

Guanshan smiled and said unhurriedly: these 10,000 houses are made of logs, and each log is chiseled out with a chisel at both ends of each log, and then spliced together layer by layer, and the walls are painted with yellow mud inside and outside the house, and the top of the house is still capped with green tiles, and the logs can still be used after the green brick houses are built next year

The brick kiln not only has to fire green bricks and tiles, but also to pay close attention to the firing of all kinds of daily porcelain, and in the opening of a carpenter's workshop to make all kinds of furniture, the owner can hire some disaster victims to let the money flow into the pockets of the victims, and the disaster victims are using the money to buy various daily necessities, so that the money on hand forms a cycle

After hearing this, Gao Yuankui-Li Long and others began to discuss, "This is a solution"

"That's right."

"The victims were able to earn money and buy what they wanted, and in the end it came back to us."

Li Song was very excited after hearing this: Boss, I think we can also open a winery and a papermaking visit, the weather is cold in winter, people often drink some wine to warm up the body, 100 catties of grain can probably make 50 catties of fine wine, medium liquor about 65 catties, between 80-90 catties of general liquor, the difficulty of papermaking is greater, and sufficient trees are needed to have enough water

Li Yang made a plank: Within 7 days, we will build a winery and a woodworking workshop, and the ancestral hall of the second ancestor has been built

Li Song responded: The ancestral hall of the ancestors has been built in Longfeng Mountain

Li Yang nodded: Let's go and worship that night

Li Song: Okay, I'll go and prepare the things for worship

Li Yang got up: These people brought back by Gao Yuankui - Li Long will be handed over to you tomorrow, and lead them to the mountains in the north to cut down trees

Gao Yuan responded: Okay, we'll take them there early tomorrow morning

Back in the small courtyard where they lived, Song Shiting and Heng Yan continued this cold war, and as soon as they saw Li Yang coming back, the two of them turned around and were about to go back to their rooms, feeling that the two of them seemed to have said yes in advance

Li Yang shouted softly: Wait-I have something to say to you

Song Shiting and Heng Yan slowly turned around with some reluctance, Song Shiting looked at Heng Yan and rolled her eyes: Is there something wrong with the husband

Heng Yan twisted her head and said angrily: What's wrong

Li Yang pulled his face: Once I want to worship the ancestors, you two go to change into simple clothes and go with me, worshipping the ancestors is a big deal in the Li family

After hearing this, the two went back to their respective rooms to prepare, and Song Shiting took off the hairpin on her head and put it in the box after returning to the house, and then wiped off the rouge on her face with a towel, and took out a cyan dress in the wardrobe to change into

Heng Yan took off all the accessories on her body, washed her face with a basin of water, then tidied up her hair and changed into a black coat

After a while, Li Song walked over: The boss is ready, we can go

As soon as Li Yang wanted to open his mouth to call her, Song Shiting and Heng Yan walked out of their respective rooms, and Li Yang shouted softly: "Guanshan Daoist, we are going to worship the ancestors, please come with us."

Guanshan lazily walked out of the room: Okay, the poor road will accompany you on a trip

Coming to the foot of Longfeng Mountain, everyone walked on the steep mountain road, the scorching high temperature during the day and the temperature difference in the evening, so that the dense forest of Longfeng Mountain seemed extraordinarily humid, and everyone did not go far to sweat, the sweat on the body soaked the back coat, everyone was tired and panting, and finally came to the ancestral hall

Guanshan placed an incense burner in front of the ancestral hall, then lit five incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, put his hand into the cloth bag and grabbed a handful of yellow paper and threw it into the air, and picked up the copper bell with his left hand and shook it "Ding Bell - Dang Chang": Azure Earth Spirit - Heaven and Earth Poles - Flowers Bloom and Fall for Another Year - Today, the descendants of the Li family come to worship the ancestors

Guanshan gave each person three sticks of yellow incense to worship the ancestors, everyone held their hands together and pinched the yellow incense, bowed three times to the ancestral hall and bowed three times, and then inserted the yellow incense into the incense burner

Li Yang said softly: Ancestors, please bless the wind and rain in Alan Village, Ding is prosperous, today Li Yang, the descendant of the Li family, brought two wives and clansmen to worship the ancestors, please bless the ancestors so that they can give birth to the descendants of the Li family as soon as possible, the ancestors now have more than 35,000 people in Alan Village, and it will continue to grow in the future, hoping that the ancestors will bless you

Guanshan put a copper basin on the ground, took out a few bundles of yellow paper from the backpack and put them into the copper basin, and after lighting the yellow paper, a violent whirlwind suddenly blew, blowing the burning yellow paper into the air and rotating with the wind, the whole Longfeng Mountain resounded with the wind sound of "huh-huh", and the burned yellow paper floated over the entire Longfeng Mountain, Song Shiting and Heng Yan were a little afraid when they saw it, and the two grabbed Li Yang's hand tightly

Guanshan raised his head and laughed: Okay-Okay, it seems that the ancestor of the Li family has received your request

Li Song bowed to the ancestors: Boss, it's almost time for us to go back

Li Yang nodded: Second child, you go to Taizhou City with me tomorrow, and let's go and return the money of the Gao family and Han

The next morning, Li Yang and Li Song went to the yamen of the state capital to ask to see Lord Sun, and after the official announced, they led the two to the inner hall, where Sun Yuanwu and Yuan Bin were discussing how to resettle the remaining 30,000 victims

Li Yang responded: Your subordinates have already resettled more than 5,000 disaster victims, and now they are starting to build winter houses, and when these houses are built, their subordinates will pick up the remaining disaster victims

Sun Yuanwu nodded slightly: Then how long will it take for these houses to be built, do you have something to do with coming to this mansion

Li Yang: Your subordinates will build 10,000 houses within 10 days, and during this period, they will pick up the victims one after another, and your subordinates are here today to take away the 20,000 coins that your adults said

Sun Yuanwu looked at Yuan Bin, raised his hand and pointed at Li Yang, and said with a smile: You see, this is another one who asks for money

After speaking, he looked at Li Yang: Wait for the government to give you a ticket, and you take this ticket to the treasury to get the money

After the ticket quotation was written, Sun Yuanwu picked up the seal on the copy, pressed it the ticket citation, and then picked up the ticket quotation and handed it over, Li Yang stretched out his hands to take the ticket quotation and Li Song came to the treasury, and handed the ticket quotation to the guard to confirm that it was correct, and the official carried out 20,000 silver coins and loaded them on the carriage

The two brothers drove the carriage to the Han Mansion, and Li Yang got down from the carriage to the door, grabbed the door knocker and gently buckled the door

A voice came from inside, "Who?"

Li Yang responded: The patriarch of the Li family in Alan Village came to find your young master, and I would like you to report it

The door opened, and a housekeeper respectfully made a gesture of please: Please come with me

Han Ju was lying in the courtyard, holding a bunch of small stones in his hand and throwing them against the wall

Jia Ding said softly: Young Master Li Family Patriarch is here

When Han Juzheng heard this, he immediately stood up from the ground and straightened his clothes with both hands: Brother Li, you are here, come into the house with me

Li Yang raised his hand and patted Han Juzheng on the back and said with a smile: Juzheng I am here to repay the money today, once you ask someone to go outside and bring the silver coins in, the interest of one and a half months will be calculated as two months, and there will be a total of 7,700 silver coins with interest

Han Juzheng was a little embarrassed and said: Brother Li, how can you be so conscious, Brother Li doesn't know what you have been busy with recently, if you need money, don't see me

Li Yang responded: Ju Zheng won't tell you anything, I've been busy relocating 30,000 victims these days, and there are too many things to do every day, and now I'm dizzy

Han Juzheng's face leaked a trace of surprise: Alan Village is only a few thousand people, and it is necessary to resettle 30,000 victims, I heard that Brother Li, you have donated a lot of food to relieve these victims, and this year, Alan County has been built in Alan Village, if there is anything I can help Brother Li, don't let me out

Li Yang: Ju Zheng even said so, then I won't be polite to you, I want to ask you to go to Alan County to make the county Cheng monthly salary of 5 silver coins, I have already consulted Lord Sun on this matter, and when you make some political achievements, Lord Sun will book the country to protect you

Han Juzheng hesitated and said: Brother Li, I am just an idle cloud and a wild crane, how can He De make you and Lord Sun value me so much, I just read for a few more years and have never had the experience of being an official, and this is the first time to be an official is the county Cheng, Brother Li County Cheng is related to the people of a county, I think it is better to find someone else

Li Yang gently patted his hand on Han Juzheng's shoulder: Juzheng, I have been with you for a while, I see that you are kind-hearted, as long as you are dedicated to the people, there should be no problem, believe me, I will never be wrong, I have confidence in you, the male husband should be ambitious, you let go of your hands, Lord Sun and I will support you behind your back

Han Juzheng pondered for a while and nodded: Thanks to Brother Li and Master Sun's love, then Juzheng and I will not postpone it anymore, and I will go to Alan Village tomorrow to start sorting out government affairs

Li Yang responded: That's right, Ju Zheng went with me to Gao's house, and when I borrowed money, you took me there, so I had to trouble you to run with me when I repaid the money

Han Juzheng got up: Brother Li, this is how it should be, so let's leave now

The family carried the boxes full of silver coins from the carriage, and Li Song drove the carriage and pulled the two to the "Gaoren Pharmacy", as soon as they entered the pharmacy, Han Juzheng said to the guys: Is Uncle Gao there?

The guy glanced at Han Juzheng and Li Yang and had a little impression of these two people, so he turned around and shouted softly into the room: The young master of the Han family who is in charge of the shopkeeper is here

When Gundam heard this, he walked out of the back room: it turned out to be his eldest nephew

Han Juzheng stepped forward and bowed: My nephew has seen my uncle, and I came today to bring my friend to pay back the money

Li Yang stepped forward to give a salute: Late Sheng has seen Elder Gao, and this time thanks to Elder Gao to help Elder Gao Sheng, he was able to get through this difficulty

Gundam smiled kindly: Good to say-good to say

After speaking, he raised his hand and put on a chair next to him and motioned for the two to sit down

Li Yang looked at Li Song: The second brother brought in the silver coins and asked Gao Lao to count them

Li Song nodded and turned around and walked outside, and Gundam shouted softly to the guy: "Sixth son, you go over to help the young master."

Man: Yes, sir

The two of them brought in the box full of silver coins, and the men carefully counted them one by one: the shopkeeper had 5,500 silver coins in all

Gundam nodded in satisfaction and smiled and said, "This-how good is this?"

Li Yang said respectfully: This is all as it should be, Gao Lao doesn't know if the 1,000 pairs of gold sore medicine I ordered are ready

Gundam responds: It's already ready, so I'm waiting for you to pick it up

Li Yang: Elder Gao, I still want to order 4,000 pairs of Chinese medicine to treat wind chills and stop diarrhea

Gundam was surprised when he heard this, this is bigger business: there are not so many Chinese medicines in the pharmacy now, do you think you can wait for more than 20 days

Li Yang got up and whispered: "Then I'll ask someone to get these Chinese medicines in 20 days."

Turned to look at Li Song: The second child has settled the money for the gold sore medicine, let's go back to the manor

Gundam kept sending Li Yang and Han Juzheng to the door, and Han Juzheng turned around and said, "Uncle Gao, please stay."

In the early morning, everyone and the villagers were busy outside the manor, and a carriage came to Alan Village in a leisurely manner, and the villagers who were working were full of curiosity when they saw it

Li Yang looked at it and greeted him: Juzheng is you

Han Juzheng said in high spirits: Brother Li, I will move to Alan County from today, Brother Li said that people must have great ambitions for a lifetime, and I will go all out to do a good job in this county, Brother Li, you will not welcome me

Li Yang responded: Look at what you said, let me introduce you to this is the head of the Guanshan Dao, and the entire Alan County was drafted by him

After speaking, he pointed his finger to Guanshan: Guanshan Daoist This is Han Juzheng, and he will be the first county magistrate of Alan County in the future

The two greeted each other

After 10 days of hard work by the victims and villagers, 10,000 winter wooden houses were finally built, and 30,000 victims all moved into new homes with smiles

Sun Yuanwu remembered that Li Yang had made great contributions to pacifying the victims, and promoted Li Yang to the commander of the garrison in the north of Taizhou with 1,000 troops under his jurisdiction and two battalions, commanding the military and political affairs of the ten villages in the north, and ordered Han Juzheng to be the deputy county of Alan County
