Chapter 130: One Man and a Half
Not to mention, the Han Wangfu really sent someone here.
It's not an outsider who comes, an old acquaintance, Yang Yu, the king of Xiangcheng.
Originally, there was a distinction between him and Yang Ming, but now that it is good, the gap is even bigger.
The last time things were unfavorable, after returning to Jinyang, Yang Yu told Yang Liang, the king of Han, about the whole process, and thought that he would be scolded, but in fact he didn't.
In fact, it's normal to think about it, how can a concubine fight with a concubine? Those concubines in the Jin Palace's mansion can't eat at the table, he is considered good.
Yang Liang has two sons, Yang Yu is still the eldest son, and the other one is only seven or eight years old, and because of this, Yang Yu is still somewhat useful now, and when Yang Hao becomes an adult, he will take a break.
Before Yang Yu came to Jiangling, he had already sent someone to inquire about Yang Ming's appointment in Jingzhou this time and took Gao Yue away.
This kid is too ghostly.......
In the Governor's Mansion, Yang Ming met the other party in the inner garden, and he wanted to know what Yang Yu would say to him.
"The family doesn't speak two words, before I came, my father told me that half of Wen's acres of land belongs to you,"
Yang Yu was really happy this time, straight to the point, but it made Yang Ming a little unpredictable:
"That's what Uncle Fifth really said?"
Yang Yu nodded: "We are all a family, I didn't hide it from you, the Wen family can have today, it is also a fox and a fake tiger, borrowing the power of my Han Palace, but after all, he was an old minister of the palace, and my father has always been nostalgic for the old, so Brother Ming raised his noble hand, Tian took half of it, and people should not be embarrassed anymore."
Yang Ming still felt a little incredible: "Fifth Uncle is so willing?"
"Of course, that's your fifth uncle," Yang Yu said with an exaggerated expression: "It's just a few thousand dumping fields, and my uncle gave it to my nephew, isn't that a matter of course?"
In fact, Yang Liang didn't explain it like this, he just asked Yang Yu to act cheaply, he could protect it, but he couldn't guarantee it, and Yang Liang didn't care about Wen's life or death.
The reason why Yang Yu was allowed to come was just to go through the motions, in order to let those people in the Jinyang Governor's Mansion know, he Yang Liang was also a short-sighted.
As long as it's with me, don't look at a little Wen, I'll protect it.
Yang Ming did these things in Jingzhou, after Yang Liang, the king of Han, knew about it, he guessed what Yang Ming wanted to do, kill chickens and show monkeys, as for whether he came to clean up the Wen family for himself, Yang Liang didn't think about it, because he expected Yang Ming to have no courage.
has said all this, it seems that if Yang Ming does not make concessions, it really can't be justified.
But if you give in, how can you talk about your prestige in Jingzhou in the future?
Clean up this, find the backstage to intercede, clean up that, and find someone to intercede.
In the end, packed up the air?
After thinking about it, Yang Ming shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the fifth uncle, I only cleaned up the surname Wen."
Hehe, there is progress, and you still know how to leave your fifth uncle out? Yang Yu smiled and said, "Brother Ming's meaning is fine, the Wen family is not scared lightly this time, you just raise your noble hand and let them go."
"And what if I don't raise my hand?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.
Yang Yu said helplessly, "Why bother? It's just a few small people, why bother Brother Ming to compete with them?"
Wen family, Yang Ming is definitely going to do it, this is the first thing he did in Jingzhou, if this matter is blocked, everything will not go well in the future.
But then again, he can't help but give the face of the King of Han, no matter whether he rebels in the future or not, he is a serious family now.
The question is, Yang Liang is a prince, why should he protect a small family that can't be on the table?
After pondering for a long time, Yang Ming said tentatively:
"Behold what it is, half of it is mine, and the other half is yours."
Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, and after a slight groan, he said, "Brother Ming, if you say so, then do what you want."
Good guy, I tried you.
Yang Ming knows, what kind of concubine are you, you can't inherit the family business in the future, can you not be tempted by these acres?
In this way, the king of Han also
I don't care about the life or death of the Wen family, this is easy to do.
I said half for you? You want to be beautiful.
"It's decided," Yang Ming patted the table and said, "I'll clean up the Wen family as well, and we'll split it in half afterwards."
"It works!" Yang Yu also said happily: "I live in the official post, if Brother Ming has anything, just send someone to inform me."
"I want to get a drop," Yang Ming personally sent the other party out of the governor's mansion with a grin,
The last time the two met, they still had to fight and kill, but this time they already looked like brothers.
The final distribution of acres is still secondary, mainly to clean up the few emerging Wen's families, so that it is convenient for Yang Ming to clean up other families in the future.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if this first battle is fought beautifully, it will be much easier in the future.
When Yang Yu returned to the official post, the people of the Wen family had been waiting here for a long time.
Wen Hui personally stepped forward, helped Yang Yu out of the carriage, and bowed and said, "Your Highness, how is the situation?"
Yang Yu glanced at the Wen family and said with a smile, "You just have to be relieved, this matter will only develop in a good direction."
There is nothing wrong with that, things are indeed moving in a direction that is good for him.
The people of the Wen family glanced at each other, and the heart they were carrying finally let go, and their faces were tense, and their smiles bloomed again.
Sure enough, it had to be the Han Wangfu to come forward.
No matter how horizontal the king of Hedong is, he will not even give the face of the king of Han.
Yang Yu glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go back and wait for news."
After saying that, Yang Yu raised his feet and walked into the official post, and then he said to the attendants beside him:
"When these people come to me in the future, they will say that I am not there."
After the order, Yang Yu scolded and left, what is it? Don't pee on yourself, enough to have a relationship with the Han Palace?
As Yang Ming expected, it is impossible for Yang Yu not to be tempted, although he is the king of the county at the moment, his county is the lower county, and there are only 2 counties under his jurisdiction.
Of course, this is already very good, if it weren't for the fact that he was the eldest son, it would be impossible to be crowned king by virtue of his status as a concubine.
And the Han Wangfu will be the heir to the throne, it is his younger brother, he has no qualifications to inherit, and the family property that he can share in the future is also pitiful, almost negligible.
So I have to take advantage of the present to plan more for myself and make a little profit.
As for how to give his father an errand after he goes back, he hasn't thought about it yet, and he has to wait until the matter is over before he can make up excuses.
......
Zhijiang County, that is, Zhijiang City, Hubei.
These days, the Kuaishou people of the county government have a notice, first pasting the gate of the county seat, and then going down to the townships to publicize it, informing the people that the people of the general administration should check the acres of land at the boundary of the Zhijiang River, and all the problematic fields and acres that have been found will be re-granted to the townships.
Now it's good, the most positive attitude is those township leaders, that is, the township chiefs and village heads, because they are the ones who give the fields, and there is a layer of oil and water in one hand.
Who wouldn't be active in making money?
In the Great Sui, the township is not elected by the people, but by the government, how to choose?
Select three or five local ones that are the most delicious to open, and then the county government will make an assessment, how to evaluate, and evaluate who will send more money.
Of course, after being selected, there is an observation period, which is mainly to see if you can be qualified for this position, if not, then evaluate.
Therefore, during the assessment period of the township, there will inevitably be a fight in the local area.
The government also has a headache, making money is small, and fighting is big, so gradually, Xiangzhengli is slowly developing into a lifelong system.
That is, to work in this position until death.
This phenomenon also leads to the township being upright and having absolute control over the local area.
Whitewater Village.
The village is flat and belongs to the open land that cannot be seen at a glance, with a total of 7,400 acres in the open air, of which only 3,000 acres are in the hands of the villagers, and the remaining 4,400 acres have been divided.
other
There are more than 300 acres of Yongye field, in Dasui, Yongye field is mulberry field, because the income is higher, so the tax paid is also higher, but the mulberry field is permanent, as long as it is assigned to your family, it will always be your family.
The village is not an official, when people occupy the field, he doesn't even dare to fart, and now he heard that the people from the governor's office are coming to check the acres, and early in the morning, he took the villagers to wait at the entrance of the village.
He heard that the governor of Jingzhou was the biggest official in their Jingchu land, and the current governor heard that he was still a little prince and the grandson of His Majesty the Emperor.
Since it was the little prince who sent someone to check the acres of land, then he didn't have to be afraid of retaliation, those who took their village acres could still be bigger than the little prince?
There are more than 400 households in their Baishui Village, and the 3,000 acres of land are really not enough for food rations.
At this time, a young villager came back from the end of the road.
Muramasa asked, "The little prince's people are here?"
"It's not...... No......." The villager gasped, "It's a bunch of outsiders with a loose accent, I heard ...... I've heard that these guys are making trouble lately."
"Okay, go back to the village and call the people, and let them all bring their fellows," the village said, "If it's a man, bring it to me and tell them that someone has come to rob their fields."
That's why, people are village leaders, because people will fool the villagers below.
In a short time, a group of people came with all kinds of farm tools, iron hooks, nails, hoes, and clubs, and many sturdy peasant women, some with their dogs.
The Wen family's gang saw this battle from afar, and they didn't dare to come over, they had some sticks in their hands, although they had more than a dozen short knives in their hands, but the number of people was too small, and there were only more than 20 in total.
It's a village on the other side.
"What to do? This is also the case in this village, and this is not an easy errand," said one of the housekeepers, looking at the leader.
The leader licked his lips and said:
"What's more, you can see notices everywhere in Zhijiang County to check the acres of fields, our errand is over, and the situation of other people should be similar to ours, withdraw first, first connect with Steward Liu and them, and then see what to do next."
Then the gang walked away in ashes along the way they came.
There are more than 1,000 people sent out by the Wen family, and wherever there is a field of the Wen family, these people will go there.
Since you have come to Baishui Village, it means that Baishui Village has the fields of the Wen family.
But the village didn't know it, because they didn't pass him when they took the fields.
Including the villagers who cultivate these fields, they don't know whose fields they own, anyway, when the time comes, naturally someone will come to collect grain, and they can only get fifteen catties of grain for people to cultivate one acre of land.
In Dasui, natural disasters such as insect eating and rat bites cannot be avoided, so the average yield per mu of paddy field is only 160 catties.
