The crowd rushed over like a tsunami, and the officers and soldiers of the guards and the officials were all panicked when they saw it, and they planned to let them change into new clothes and arrange a house for them to live in, but no one expected such a thing to happen

Li Yang saw that this was okay, if you let them go, it would be difficult to manage it in the future, don't you say the old saying, if you don't repair it, you don't repair it, and if you don't repair it, you have to set up a good rule for them today, thinking of this, he took out the steel knife hanging on the horse's back and waved it forward: Shield wall forward

When hundreds of sword and shield soldiers heard this, they immediately gathered and stood in a row, forming a shield wall with the shields in their hands, and the shield wall stepped forward step by step to stop the crowd that was swarming and rushing

Li Yang shouted: Spearmen prepare

Nearly a thousand pikemen followed behind the shield wall and shouted "Drink" and pointed their sharp spears at them

Han Juzheng's face turned pale when he looked at this frightened formation: Brother Li, what are you doing here, although they don't follow the rules, they are not guilty of death

Li Yang: Don't worry, I know it

After speaking, he shouted: force them back, and if they disobey, they will not be allowed to enter the county

The sword and shield soldiers struck the shield with their steel knives together, shouted "Retreat", and pushed the victims back with their shields with all their might, and the pikemen behind them advanced step by step in a fighting posture, shouting "Retreat"

The people in front of them stopped when they saw that if they continued to rush forward like this, they would have to be pierced by the sharp spears, and although the people in front of them stopped, the people behind them still pushed forward, just like the waves of the sea, although the waves in front of them stopped, they could be pushed to the beach by the waves that followed

Li Yang: Li Long-Li Hu, you two led all the cavalry to outflank them from the left and right sides, so that all the people behind them stopped

The two of them outflanked them from the left and right with two hundred cavalrymen, and the sound of the horses' hooves "thump-thump" made people feel a sense of fear, and the galloping horsemen held their spears and ran and shouted: Everyone retreat

The crowd that swarmed up didn't pay attention to the cavalry's words at all, no matter how you shouted, it didn't matter to me, one by one they kept their heads and continued to push forward, Li Long and Li Hu brothers were originally a grumpy lord, and when they saw these people in front of them, they were even more angry, the two brothers got off their horses and came to the crowd with more than 20 cavalrymen, Li Long looked around, and saw a sturdy man about thirty years old pushing forward, thinking "It's you", so he stepped forward and grabbed the man and dragged him back

The man fell to the ground, he looked at Li Long with an angry and vicious face, and put on a look of seven disobedience and eight dissatisfaction and wanted to support two blows, Li Hu took a horse whip and beat him a few times: It's against you, so you don't hear it

Seeing this, the cavalry also waved their horsewhips and whipped those who refused to retreat, this method did seem rude, but it really worked, the crowd that swarmed up stopped and retreated according to the instructions, the man lay on the ground with his head in his hands and screamed like killing a pig, an old woman came forward and hugged him and begged: "Official, I beg you to stop fighting, my child is not sensible, you don't have the same knowledge as him."

At a glance, he knew that this old woman should be his mother, her face was blue from the cold, her hands were red, Li Long hurriedly helped the old woman up: Auntie, get up and get cold on the ground

After speaking, he stretched out his hand again and pulled the man up from the ground: Li Hu, you take the eldest lady and her family to the front, and tell Patriarch Gao to let them get the cotton clothes first and arrange a place to live

Li Hu helped the old woman: Auntie, I will help you over, and after receiving the cotton clothes, I will arrange a place for you and your family to live, and the meal has been prepared for you

The old woman looked at Li Hu with tears in her eyes and patted him lightly: Are you really right?

Li Huhan smiled: What I said is true, auntie

The chaotic scene was finally brought under control, people lined up to get new cotton clothes according to the instructions and then went to the tent to change the cotton clothes, after getting out of the tent, people threw the old clothes on the carriage and walked towards the county, the officials on duty were responsible for arranging houses for these people to live in, and when they moved into a house, they posted a red paper outside the door to represent that the family was already occupied

Not far away there were several makeshift fire pits, and one after another wagons full of old clothes came to the fire pits, and several soldiers tied this thick cloth to their faces to ward off the foul smell, and they threw the old clothes into the fire pit and lit them up and billowed black smoke

Han Juzheng looked puzzled: Why did Brother Li have to burn those clothes

Li Yang: This is to prevent epidemics

Han Juzheng: Juzheng understood, in the past two days, I have organized people to sprinkle some lime powder on the roots of each house

In the evening, all the 10,000 people were finally settled, and everyone was tired after a busy day, and when they saw that the chimneys of every house were emitting white smoke, people's faces leaked a smile of relief, this is that they have started to cook, and everyone thinks that these people do not have to suffer from sin, and feel that all this is worth it

Li Yang: There are 10,000 people in Juzheng, you can have more snacks, if you have any needs, just don't try to meet them as much as possible

Han Juzheng: Brother Li, don't worry, by the way, shouldn't the 10,000 people be divided into 1,000 households?

Li Yang: "Well, in the past two days, let's discuss the candidates for thousands of households, Ju Zheng'a, now you think that the county order should also have your own six rooms, now you have to do a lot of things yourself, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, and the formation of six rooms can help you share a lot of things, so you can be lighter."

Han Juzheng: After a year, I will start Zhang Le's matter

On February 12, 1524, the thirtieth day of the lunar month, on this day, the streets of Alan County were hung with red lanterns on both sides, and the people who lived here posted the Spring Festival couplets and the word Fu in front of their homes, and the streets were crowded with merchants from all over the world who came to hear the news, and they brought a lot of best-selling goods, and the nearby villagers brought dried wild vegetables and poultry to the market to sell or exchange for some things they wanted, and the deli made roast chicken-roast duck and braised pork that was made in a pot and sold out in a pot

In order to ensure that the residents can have a good New Year, the county gave each household 5 catties of pork and 30 catties of grain and 10 catties of wine, and the newly resettled more than 3,000 households each gave an extra 500 lines of money to buy New Year's goods

At night, people lit up the lanterns in front of their houses, made the whole Alan County, the streets resounded with joyful gongs and drums, people spontaneously twisted Yangge, although the weather was cold, but the stage was indeed full of people who came to see the excitement, the family sat on the warm kang and wrapped dumplings, and the whole night people were quiet in a joyful atmosphere

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people have gone out of their homes, neighbors and neighbors greet each other for a New Year's Day, Li Yang is naturally no exception, early in the morning he took a carriage to Taizhou City, on the way to the state capital Yamen, passed a house, a lot of carriages parked outside the door, there are several officials standing in front of the door, this is who is so cow, even want the officials to take care of the door and nursing home

When he arrived at the yamen of the state capital, he came to the inner hall study with a food box, and saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the table drinking tea, her noble face, big round face, wearing a silk dress with peony flowers embroidered on it, judging from the dress and temperament, this should be Lord Sun's wife

Li Yang stepped forward with a food box and bowed: Li Yang, the garrison in the northern part of Taizhou, Xiaguan, has seen Mrs. Sun, and wishes you and Lord Sun all the best in the new year - all your wishes come true

Mrs. Sun lowered her head and tasted tea: Li Shoubei didn't have to be polite

Li Yang: Mrs. Sun has some things she wants to ask to see Master Sun, but I don't know if it is inconvenient for Mrs. Sun

Mrs. Sun didn't even look at him: Wait here for a while, Yuan Wu will come in a hurry

Li Yang picked up the food box with a respectful face: Mrs. Sun, this is a little bit of the general's heart, please accept it

Mrs. Sun put on a look of unreasonableness: This table is full of food boxes sent in the morning, you can find a place to put it yourself

After speaking, she reached out and picked up a food box and called the maid, asking her to take the food box to the backyard to feed the dog, Li Yang saw that this was Xiang Zhuang Wujian with the intention of Pei Gong, you obviously don't look down on these food boxes, you just said this to me on purpose

Li Yang pretended not to understand and handed over the food box: the food box that Mrs. Sun sent at the end was slightly different from the one on the table

Mrs. Sun looked disgusted, "Why didn't I see any difference, aren't they all food boxes?" When she took the food box, she was surprised: Why is your food box so heavy

Just when Li Yang wanted to tell her that my food box was filled with a mystery, Sun Yuanwu, who had heard it outside the door for a long time, walked in: Mrs. Thousands of miles to send goose feathers - the gift is light and affectionate, Li Yang, you can come and bring what kind of Lilly, which makes others see how much it seems to be outside

Li Yang bowed: Adults don't pay tribute to a little heart

Sun Yuanwu: Madam, go to the kitchen to Zhang Le for a few dishes, and I want to have a few drinks with Li Shoubei at noon

Mrs. Sun, who had been keeping a straight face as soon as I entered the door, had a smile on her face, and she hurried back to the house with the food box I sent, needless to say that she must be curious about what was in my food box, which was like a woman who loves to shop online, and she had to open the express as soon as possible to see what was inside

Sun Yuanwu walked to the table and sat down, he waved his hand and motioned for me to sit down: Have the newly settled 10,000 people been settled?

Li Yang: Your Excellency, rest assured, the 10,000 people have already settled down, although they can't eat big fish and meat every meal, but there is absolutely no problem with food and clothing, and the county has also prepared herbs for them for wind, cold, dysentery and some common diseases

Sun Yuanwu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: You have relieved the burden of the disaster victims for the government, if there is anything that the government can help, you will say that the government that can help will do its best

Li Yang: There is really a difficulty

Sun Yuanwu: You say

Li Yang: My lord, Alan County has a population of 45,300 people, and the paddy fields and dry fields are only 32,000 mu together, with an average of less than one acre of land per person

Sun Yuanwu frowned when he heard this: This is indeed a difficult thing, and it is not a matter for the remaining 18,000 people in the city to continue like this, so if you have any good ideas, you might as well say it and take a look

Although Li Yang had a plan in his heart, he didn't say it, because he felt that it was not the right time to mention this matter, according to the law of Zhejiang, every acre of land needs to pay a tael of taxes, and the government will issue you a land deed, and 200,000 acres of land will be paid 200,000 taels of tax silver, but he really can't take out so much silver, and he plans to open up the barren tuntian first, and after the autumn harvest, he is using grain to make up for the taxes that should be paid, but this is a risky move, a little careless, and the whole game will be lost, more precisely, he is waiting for an opportunity

As soon as Li Yang's tone changed, he pulled the matter to another place: My lord, I passed by a mansion when I came, and I saw that there were many officials guarding the door, who could have such a big battle

Sun Yuanwu: What you said was the temporary residence of Wen'an, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, in Taizhou

Li Yang: No wonder there are so many carriages parked at the door, but I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people rushing to tie him up on the first day of the Lunar New Year

Sun Yuanwu joked with me: Then why don't you bring some gifts to visit Wen'an, the servant of the ministry

Li Yang: At the end of Taizhou, the general will only recognize you, and as for the birds from those countries, the officials will not pee on him

Sun Yuanwu: You can just talk about it here, but you can't talk nonsense

Li Yang: That's nature

Sun Yuanwu: I think you kid is not bad and very clever, this government gives Mi two words of advice, you have to remember it, first, if you want to gain a foothold in the officialdom, you must be silent, no matter what you are thinking, no matter what you are thinking, second, even if you look down on your superiors, you can't show it, they may not have much talent when they are doing the right thing, but if they want to ruin your future, it is often two or three sentences

Li Yang: The teachings of the adults will be remembered in the end

And in the mansion of Wen An, the servant of the ministry, there was a pleasant sound of piano music, more than a dozen young and beautiful singers wearing gorgeous silk yarn were dancing with the music, and the enchanting dance splashed with the breeze, and the silk sand danced with the breeze, and Wen An's eyes were straight when he saw these beautiful singers

At the wine table, Zhao Shoubei got up and poured a glass of wine for Wen An: Your Excellency, please introduce you to these people who came today - Taizhou Eastern Garrison Zhao Xin - Western Garrison Qiuliang - Southern Garrison Shi Wei - Southwest Garrison Kong Hua - Southeast Garrison Liu Jie - Pengxi County Garrison Cheng Yongjia - Huangyan County Garrison Pang Yi - Aohai County Garrison Chen Ziming - Changpu County Garrison Wanxin

Wen An took the wine glass and stared at the group of singers: Thank you for looking up to Wen, Wen has thanked you here

Zhao Shoubei took the wine glass and motioned to all the people present to stand up: Lord Wen didn't even return home for the New Year of the whole army, and he was concerned about his family and country

Wen An Meizi held the wine glass: You have won the award, Wen just did what he had to do

After a few rounds of drinking, Liu Jie clapped his hands and "pop-pop" The two soldiers carried in an iron box with heavy steps, and Wen An was a little confused when he saw it: What is this for

Liu Jie: My lord, this is a little bit of our heart, and please accept it

Wen An looked embarrassed: I am already very content that you can think of coming to visit this official, as for those gifts, I think you should take them back

Cheng Yongjia: My lord, you pay more attention to your body day and night for the whole army, a little bit of your brother's heart to make up for your body, if you have a mistake, it is the misfortune of Zhejiang, you don't think about yourself and have to think about Zhejiang, so brothers, please don't postpone this little heart

Wen An raised his head and laughed, "Haha", it seems that this is really the case when you say this, that act is the intention of all of you in Zhejiang, then I will accept it, you are all generals who have been in command of the army for many years, brave and good at fighting, you have won the battle in battle, and the enemy is desperately fighting in exchange, so you don't have to worry about the whole army, this time the whole army is to remove those who have not made an inch of merit but still hold the military power, the garrison in the north of Taizhou Li Yang, I think he is only twenty years old, how did he become this garrison

Shi Wei: This Li Yang was originally the young master of a wealthy family in Alan Village, a weak scholar who could not carry his shoulders and could not carry his hands, when Fuzhou and Zhejiang were at war, most of the Taizhou soldiers were transferred to the border pass to fight the enemy army, and the Haikou took the opportunity to land on the coast of Taizhou, and they plundered the village, killed people, and crossed goods as if they were in a no-man's land

When the Haikou attacked Alan Village, Li Yang led the clansmen and the villagers to defeat the invading enemy, and later he united several villages to recruit more than 3,000 villagers, when the Haikou besieged Taizhou City, Li Yang led thousands of villagers to aid Taizhou City, and launched a surprise attack like the Haikou Army, and the Taizhou defenders should be combined to kill more than 5,000 Haikou to relieve the siege of Taizhou

Pang Yi: Originally, this was a great achievement, but because he killed the brother of Pang Shan, the former state guard, and led his family soldiers to fight against the official army, he was put on death row

Wen An was a little confused when he heard it: Wait, I didn't understand a little, he was put on death row, so how did he become a garrison in the north of Taizhou

Liu Jie: The death of Pang Peng, the brother of Pang Shan, the former commander of the state guard, was his own fault, when the Haikou attacked, he actually led his troops to pretend to be the Haikou to attack the village and loot property, Li Yang led the township to rush to Taizhou when he happened to meet them and wiped them out as the Haikou Bandits, and afterwards Pang Shan led thousands of Taizhou main forces to besiege Alan Village to avenge his dead brother, this Li Yang was indeed bold and openly led thousands of villagers to fight to the death with Pang Shan

Later, it was Lord Sun who came forward to take them down and put them on death row, and then the border war was tight, and the general of Chuzhou fell, and the general recruited all the guilty people to fill the army, and they were spared a death, and went to the border pass with the general's army to fight with the Fu army, to say that this kid is not only bold and big, he took more than 30 people to mix into the city of Chuzhou, which was guarded by 100,000 enemy troops, I don't know what method he used to open the city gate, lead the general to lead the army into the city, and regained the city of Chuzhou in one fell swoop

Master Sun felt that he was a rare talent, and it happened that Taizhou was empty, so he gave him an errand, a guerrilla commander, responsible for the security of the ten villages in the north, and when he pacified the bandits in Fengshuling, he made the first contribution, and in addition to the resettlement of tens of thousands of victims, he became the northern garrison

Wen An: How do you know this so clearly?

Liu Jie: At the end of that expedition, the general also led his troops to participate, and they were all fellow villagers, so I paid more attention

Wen An: If the official position of one side of the garrison is the seventh grade, then his official promotion is too fast, he should not have spent money to buy this official with Governor Sun

As soon as these words came out, the people present instantly fell silent, and all of them were silent

Wen An: This time the whole army is an errand that the national capital has explained, and Wen doesn't want to embarrass everyone, but Wen has to have an explanation for the above

Pang Yi: My lord, we all have 1,000 soldiers and horses under our command, and Li Yang is the same garrison as us, but he does command 3-4,000 people under his command

Wen An: Why do he have so many people under him?

Pang Yi: Who called this kid rich, our soldiers are all paid monthly salaries by the state government yamen, and most of his soldiers are supported by himself, and there are nearly 20 warships

Wen An raised his hand and slapped the table: He is too lawless, he dares to build a warship privately, can it be that Governor Sun doesn't care about it

Liu Jie: Pang Shoubei, I see that you have drunk a little too much today, I heard that the warships he said are the newly formed coastal defense battalion in Taizhou, and you also know that our Zhejiang country is poor and has no extra money to prepare for the construction of a naval division, Li Shoubei paid out of his own pocket to build a coastal defense battalion for Taizhou, so these warships are temporarily under his control, but the general who commands the coastal defense battalion is the famous General of Haili Longchuan Long

Wen An's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh".

When Li Yang left, Mrs. Sun hurriedly dragged Sun Yuanwu back into the room, she excitedly grabbed two gold bars and shook them back and forth in front of his eyes: I see that among these generals under you, he still looks like a person, this shot is ten gold bars, these gold bars I just weighed each 10 taels, this one can be exchanged for 100 taels of silver, and 10 can be exchanged for 1,000 taels, which is about to catch up with your 10-year-old fortune

Sun Yuanwu nodded: It's not in vain that I care so much about him

A few days later, Sun Yuanwu and Wen An summoned 20 guards in Taizhou to the state capital Yamen, but this time they were collectively locked in an examination room, and it didn't take long for Wen An to walk in with a roll of paper, he let us sit down and then send the paper to everyone's hands, I picked up the paper and took a closer look at "I rely on" This is an exam paper, the content of the exam questions is quite complete, and the overall score is 4 large blocks - fill in the blanks - choose - judge - silently, but I haven't read the books involved in the paper, Wen An lit a stick of incense, and the exam was even started, and he asked us to hand in the paper before the incense was extinguished, otherwise we would be considered unsuccessful

Seeing others pick up the pen and ink are racing against time to answer the paper, they are flying on the exam paper and I really don't know where to start the pen, at this time Li Yang can be said to be anxious that is scratching the heart and scratching the liver to beat the little me The most annoying thing is the exam, fortunately, at this time he thought of a set of mantras that have been in the examination room for 15 years, three long and one short to choose the shortest - three short and one long to choose the longest - two long and two short to choose 2 - uneven to choose 4 - to be mainly Mongolian - supplemented by copying will be regarded as the completion of the exam paper, He confidently handed over the exam paper to Wen An, thinking that there would be no problem in passing it

A few days later, the results of the exam were announced in the prefect's yamen, and seeing that everyone was looking for their names around a piece of paper, Li Yang also went up to look at it for a long time and finally found his name in the lower right corner, so he gently squeezed Zhao Shoubei with his arm: Brother Zhao, my name is in the lower right corner, what is the result

Zhao Shoubei shook his head and sighed lightly, "Hey, you, the last 3 places are off the list."

Li Yang heard it, "Why did I fail the exam, I relied on this time to capsize in the gutter"
