On the day of the summer of the fourteenth year of Wanli, it was the afternoon when the sun was shining and the birds were not heard, and Zhang Yue, the governor of Qincha, who was in charge of recruiting an Liukou, arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.

As soon as Zhang Yue arrived in Fengxiang, the Liukou of Fengxiang Mansion took the initiative to send someone to ask to be recruited.

At this time, the Liukou of Fengxiang Mansion was also successfully recruited.

When Zhang Yue met with the local gentry, he said: "This church knows why your township is so cooperative, and it must also understand the difficulties of this church." ”

"We know the difficulties of the ministry, and we don't dare to complain about the ministry, we only hate Li Tieling!"

Zhou Yi, the wealthy gentleman of Fengxiang Mansion, only said this sentence with resentment in his eyes after Zhang Yue said this, and said through gritted teeth: "I really hope that God can punish this despicable person!" ”

"Don't think about it!"

"He is the favorite general of the Son of Heaven, and now he is wearing a royal purple and gold helmet, if something really happens in any place, then it may be difficult to have the emperor's grace in that place."

Zhang Yue persuaded him.

Zhou Yi said rather frustratedly: "We understand, and now we can only admit it." ”

……

"What Master Hou means, we understand, we only hate Zhang Yuyao!"

"If it weren't for him Zhang Yuyao, Hou Ye wouldn't have done this."

Li Rusong left Qingyang Mansion to go to Fengxiang Mansion on the front foot of Zhang Yue, and he came to Qingyang Mansion on the back foot, preparing to take the Liukou of Qingyang Mansion to accept Zhao'an to Lu Kun.

Therefore, Li Rusong also met Fang Yongji and other Qingyang Mansion gentry Fang Yongji and others in Qingyang Mansion.

And Fang Yongji didn't really complain about Li Rusong because Zhang Yue pushed all this to Li Rusong, but because Li Rusong was really a favorite of the Son of Heaven, when Li Rusong said that Zhang Yue forced him to do this, he chose to believe Li Rusong and only complained about Zhang Yue.

Li Rusong said: "It's good that you can understand! ”

And Li Rusong left here with the recruits not long after greeting these people.

After Li Rusong left, Fang Yongji and the other gentlemen of Qingyang Mansion sank their faces, and Fang Yongji himself said at this time:

"What a broken tooth to swallow! I have never been so wronged in my life! ”

"Isn't it?"

"However, we are better than those in Yan'an Mansion, at least we did not end up with a conspiracy and execution."

Hao Shen Ma Feng echoed at this time.

Fang Yongji asked Ma Feng: "Have all the rogue bandits you contacted been wiped out?" ”

"Extinguished!"

"Don't worry."

"None are left, he Zhang Yuyao and Li Tieling can't find anything."

The gentry all followed.

"That's good!"

Fang Yongji said a word, and his face sank.

……

When Li Rusong was about to leave with the Liukou who was recruited by Qingyang Mansion, he learned about the situation with the little leader of the Liukou who was recruited called the one-tailed wolf: "Do you mean that when you came to Zhao'an, your leader and military advisor didn't see each other?" ”

The one-tailed wolf said, "Yes! ”

Li Rusong couldn't help but ask Zha Dashou: "Is this the case?" ”

Cha Dashou nodded: "Yes, several gangsters in Qingyang Mansion, no matter how big or small, the main leaders have mysteriously disappeared on the way to accept Zhao'an. ”

"This is to kill people when they can't make money."

Li Rusong smiled after hearing this, and said, "Don't worry about it, take them to see Lu Butang first!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Shaanxi rice fat, Yinchuan station.

At this time, Lu Kun, the governor in charge of disaster relief and immigration to Dongying, was wearing a big coat and a scarlet official robe, standing in a pavilion at the post station, watching row after row of disaster victims, passing in front of him, going to the front to register and receive food.

At this time, he suddenly said to Li Rusong, who had just come here: "If you don't come here, I really don't know that the drought here will be so serious, and there will be so many displaced people." ”

Li Rusong said: "It can be seen that the temple and the nunnery are not all without benefits!" ”

"Before the clean-up, many landless people did rely on them to provide a livelihood, or borrow some food from them, and some temples and nunnery were indeed more conscientious than many wealthy gentry, first of all, it was easier to borrow and the interest was much lower, and there were even interest-free; Secondly, the host population does not completely choose whether they can work or not, after all, the monks are not all people who are hungry for profit. ”

"So it's a cleanup, not an elimination!"

Lu Kun said.

Li Rusong shook his head, and then smiled:

"However, what many gentry in the world may not have expected this time is that the imperial court will be willing to spend so much money, food and energy for disaster relief!"

"Those who have rebelled try not to say anything, and those who have not rebelled will also find a way to give silver to the field, in order to re-establish the family business."

"The court treats the common people so benevolently, I am afraid that some gentry and nobles may not be happy, and they will suddenly feel that their value in maintaining peace is shrinking."

"If they don't want it, they have to be happy!"

Lu Kun smiled and said: "When Yuanfu organized me and Qiantang (Jin Xuezeng) and other trained officials in the Ming Dynasty Ruling School to learn the study of governing the country and discuss the new rites left by Taishi Zhang, I realized that if we really want to make the society stable for a long time, we must try our best to change the way that the gentry and the wealthy can only enjoy the wealth forever by sucking the small people into a way that can only actively expand and actively increase profits!" ”

"And how can we increase profits through external expansion?"

"It is to govern the country with new rites!"

"Benevolence to the inside, and extrapolation of the imperial style! Internally, it is necessary to let the people communicate with each other not for profit; Externally, it is not just necessary to let the Siyi guests obey, but also to increase taxes for the Celestial Empire. ”

Li Rusong nodded.

The Ming Dynasty has indeed begun to take advantage of natural disasters to begin to transfer the population, and to transfer the population outward, so as to achieve the goal of not causing a large number of man-made disasters due to natural disasters.

Because of natural disasters, and the places where natural disasters often appear are not rich, so at this time, the survival line of the people who suffer from natural disasters is particularly fragile, and they will no longer have such a heavy hometown complex, and they will be willing to move to other places because they have new fields and money and food to receive.

This is different from immigration in good times.

During the period of good weather, it was forced immigration by the imperial court, so basically the people would be tied with their hands, or asked the officials and soldiers to be forced with whips, crying all the way.

And now.

Under the organization of the officers and soldiers, the people of the disaster victims followed the officers and soldiers very quietly, and did not need to tie their hands, but would limit the food supply for each person, so as to prevent them from running away after taking a large amount of food.

"It's better to be in the court!"

"When this drought comes, the rich man's family is only willing to borrow, but the imperial court and government will directly give food and divide the land among us landless exiled tenants."

"That way, I don't even have to sell my daughter!"

Li Sanshu, who was exiled to Yinchuan Station because of the great hunger in Fengxiang Mansion this year, said to his wife He after receiving his food and housing tickets.

After saying that, he also touched his daughter's little head and pulled out the straw mark on his daughter Xiao'e's head.

Xiao'e picked up her straw mark and looked up at Li Sanshu: "Dad, didn't you sell me?" ”

He smiled: "Your father won't sell you anymore!" ”

Xiao'e jumped up in place happily: "Daddy won't sell me!" ”

Li Sanshu couldn't help grinning when he saw this.

And then.

A large domestic slave who was about to come over to buy someone couldn't help but stomp his feet and sigh when he saw this:

"I finally met a girl with a straw sign at the post station, and I don't sell it anymore!"

"How can I explain to the master, now this court is not short of money, symbolic relief is only a few days, why is this relief for a month, and it is still giving!"

"Is it easy for me to come from such a far away place in Hedong to buy people?!"

"If it weren't for the fact that it's hard to buy now, who would want to go so far!"
