Chapter 245: A Promise to Yunyang

Yunyang rivers are all over the place, with many mountains, more water, more forests, less arable land, and few residents.

Mineral resources are abundant, in Yunyang and Junxian, there are gold sand that is deposition along the water with sediment to form a large one like broad beans and a small one like fine sand, and you can see the bright gold.

There are also quartz sand and quartzite that can be used to make glass; There are coal mines in Junzhu County; Fang County has bauxite; There are iron mines in Fang County and Yun County; Yunxi County also has copper mines, cinnabar mines, long associated realgar, apatite, asphalt.

Of course, most of this content goes undiscovered.

Otherwise, gold and silver would have been specially controlled by the imperial court long ago, and other minerals would have been developed by the local prefectures and counties.

I didn't find it now, but if I was discovered by Wang Hongyu in the future, I would be able to plan it myself.

Wang Hongyu told everyone that the 3,000 Hunhe Army would be stationed in Yunyang and prepare for army expansion training.

In the future, recruiting soldiers and horses and mobilizing veterans of the Sichuan army were all missions specially arranged by the imperial court.

The prefect and the same intellectuals in the first and second leaders all know that this is inevitable, and they will naturally cooperate.

After hearing this, the general judge's face sank, and he stood up and asked Wang Hongyu directly: "If 3,000 soldiers and horses rely on local food for food, the food is not so generous. If the army is expanded, it is not that the soldiers and people of Yunyang are not brave and good at fighting, but that it is indeed difficult to raise so many people, and the people of Yunyang should not bear such a heavy burden."

He said that the current situation in Yunyang is very different from that of ordinary prefectures and counties.

There are still many displaced people in the local area, and Yunyang Mansion has asked them to return to the countryside to let them open up wasteland for farming, but there is really very little land that can be cultivated, and the harvest in a year is less than half a year to live, and the government still pays taxes, so they would rather be displaced people than go down the mountain.

These are farmers who have lost their land in the surrounding provinces, and they have run to the mountains of Yunyang to find a way to survive when they can't survive locally, so they can't be forced to pay grain anymore, right?

This general judge is even more bold and outspoken, the people of Yunyang are poor but work hard, but they are mentally positive, although they live in the mountains, they are quite open-minded, and they know that the coffin of the eldest brother is returning to their hometown and rushing to greet it.

Wang Hongyu smiled heartily and said very frankly that after the expansion of the army, not all of them will be out of production, and a considerable part of them will have to cultivate and cultivate the fields to support themselves, and they will also have to engage in various industries, and they will also have to pay taxes to the government offices to which they belong.

The 3,000 military rations of the former Hunhe Army were mainly transferred from Xiangyang, and part of the money made from industry was used to buy grain from Xiangyang for the construction of Yunyang, and it was also necessary to drive the rich households in Yunyang to engage in industry, and the people could participate in earning money to support their families.

"Dare to ask the general judgment, does Yunyang welcome the Hunhe Army in this way?"

"This ...... Of course you are welcome!"

"What's your name?"

"Lei Ming, Yunyang Mansion is sentenced."

"Okay, the above-mentioned property I promised, as well as the ability to hire workers, pay money, and pay taxes, I will ask Lei Tong to testify."

is so open-minded that the officials of Yunyang Mansion admire.

The crowd broke down the barriers and strengthened trust.

Wang Hongyu plans to place the Jingshi Mobile Library in Yun County.

After all, Fuzhi is the most populous and the most prosperous area of a prefecture, and libraries, printing, bookstores, university halls, and cultural industries must be carried out well, so it is natural to choose the right place.

Wang Hongyu plans to inspect the surrounding counties first, especially Zhushan, Zhuxi and Fang counties, which he plans to lay out and develop, and finally return to Yun County.

These four places also happen to be in the middle and south of Yunyang, and the area is very vast, accounting for two-thirds of the entire province. The mountains and forests are extremely lush, not counting the government of the three counties, Zhushan, Zhuxi and Fangxian, the total registered population is only more than 9,000 people, which is about the same as an ordinary county in the plains.

However, based on the previous gathering of displaced people and the fact that a few tribes in the mountains were not included, it is estimated that there are still nearly 10,000 people in these three counties.

So let's take a round of inspections first to understand the local people's situation.

"By the way, isn't the governor of Yunyang in Yunyang?" Wang Hongyu asked the prefect and other officials.

"Indeed, Governor Yang ...... Generally patrol within the scope of the governor, and most of the time is not here......" Tongzhi replied with a slight hesitation.

Before going to Yunyang, I did something about him.

Governor Yang Shuzhong was replaced when Donglin took power

Target. He had some fame in lecturing, but he was really not the material to be a political official.

As the governor of Yunyang, he is generally not in Yunyang, but in Jingzhou, the richest place in the jurisdiction, and he goes there to give lectures and accumulate contacts.

As a result, the military affairs and civil affairs that the governor should have done were very poor, not only in Yunyang, but also in all regions within the governor's boundary.

In the first year of Tianqi's ascension to the throne, the Donglin Party held great power, and the little emperor was still a beginner.

The officials appointed at this stage were bragged in the history of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, saying that they were all famous ministers.

However, in fact, they are all famous Confucians, but many of these Confucians have great problems, and not only do bad things when they are officials, but they will also be busy arguing, arguing, and lecturing all day long, which is the same as the Confucian protégés and former officials, which is really a disaster for the people.

Gong Gong Zhugong, expand relations, rob the imperial court, and actively participate in Yunyang, a difficult place, regardless of it.

Governor Yang Shuzhong is unwilling to stay in Yunyang, and the fundamental reason is that it is more bitter here!

In addition, it is more difficult to expand fame and develop relationships here.

He didn't stay in Yunyang.

It's infuriating.

Theoretically, he was still his superior.

But at most a month.

Before leaving Beijing, Ye Xianggao and others were already preparing to be replaced.

When he arrived in Xiangyang, he heard the news that a local official was promoted to governor.

It is said that he was called Cai Fuyi, who was originally a political envoy of Zuobu in Shanxi, and was good at the development of mountain governance and military affairs.

Expect to be a reliable official.

Coming to Yunyang has to experience some hardships.

Yunyang is different from Baoding, Kaifeng, and Xiangyang, and the conditions are much more difficult.

"Although a few people can rest assured, the generals can go to the battlefield and enter the mountains and forests, and they must be sympathetic to the people's feelings, adapt measures to local conditions, seek truth from facts, and will not suffer the people for the sake of conscription. This month, I plan to patrol a few counties in casual clothes, and I don't want a few adults to follow me, but books, workshops, and garrisons are temporarily in Yunxian, and I have to bother you."

"Yes."

"This will be inspected, and this matter involves Sichuan Tusi, so it is a military secret, and I ask you to keep it secret."

Everyone was shocked, although they had heard that the two big toasts in the south of Sichuan, the luxury family and the An family, had different intentions, but they also felt that it was far away from Yunyang.

But now listening to Wang Hongyu's solemn statement, everyone knows that it is not allowed to be sloppy, so strictly remember to keep it secret.

These officials in Yunyang Prefecture are all capable of doing things, and of course they are ready to deal with all kinds of affairs.

Wang Hongyu was ready to endure hardships this time, so after entering Yunyang, he was ready to endure hardships in person, and did not conduct a casual inspection surrounded by local officials.

Zhou Yijie saw that Wang Hongyu had not stopped all night in Yunxian County, and asked, "General, do you want to stay for one night, arrange the library, the Hunhe Army, and the coffin of the head of the family, and then set off to inspect?"
