Chapter 120

The road from Jinzhou Port to Jinzhou City has been expanded three times by Zhang Huaize and has now become a road similar to a highway.

It is said to be similar, because this road was originally planned to be a two-way four-lane road, but after the repair, it was found that this road with a length of more than 6,800 meters was too busy. A large number of materials purchased from Shandong, Beizhili, and even Jiangnan, as well as the belongings of the Ning Navy in Ninghai Prefecture, were transported to Jinzhou by sea. Among them, there are also a large number of merchants transporting various supplies.

The two-way four-lane road is congested, just on the left and right of this road, each widening one lane to form a two-way six-lane, but the problem is that in this way, it is only alleviated, and cannot completely solve the problem of road transportation difficulties. In particular, the large-scale development of southern Liaoning has attracted many displaced people from the coastal areas.

Just like in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, some people pooled some money, rented a boat or worked as porters on the dock to earn a ferry ticket, and more and more immigrants immigrated.

As a result, this road, known as Jingang Road, was expanded for the third time. The only thing that is more trouble-free is that most of the land in Jinzhou is collectively owned, and only a very small part belongs to the families of the officers and soldiers of the Ning Navy and the martyrs and meritorious soldiers.

After the third expansion, Jingang Road has formed a road with six lanes on the left and right, a total of 12 lanes, and one in the middle, the original road protection forest and green belt, as well as drainage ditches. There are also road guards on both sides, as well as drainage ditches. Moreover, one-way traffic is not allowed, so the problem of transportation difficulties has been greatly alleviated.

Chen Zilong and his entourage traveled a total of 350 van-type two-wheeled carriages (carrying passengers), as well as more than 600 flatbed transport carriages, more than 100 technicians, more than 100 wealthy young masters or eldest ladies, plus their servants, maids, and servants, and the number of people in the group reached nearly 3,000.

On the way north, Chen Zilong, the sixth son of several societies, although his reputation is not as good as that of the seventh son, he is much bigger than the fourth son of the Fu Society.

Don't look at Chen Zilong's youth, but he soon became the leader of several societies with his outstanding poetry and writing, and he and Xia Yunyi were collectively called "Chen Xia" by the world. Chen Zilong's poems, words, literature, and endowment are part-time workers, and in terms of poetry, he is known as the last great poet of the Ming Dynasty.

In later generations, Chen Zilong himself is an Internet celebrity with his own traffic, so when they originally traveled, more than 1,000 people joined a large number of fans and their entourage along the way.

In this way, this huge team set foot on the land of southern Liaoning. Since coming out of the dock, along this twelve-lane road, all the sons and ladies began to exclaim.

Of course, there are also demons.

What to say, why didn't Cheng Shijie and Cheng Zhengyu greet Chen Zilong, this clearly shows that he doesn't give Chen Zilong face.

When Chen Zilong heard this voice, he directly took them as a fart.

Cheng Shijie is his senior brother Sun Yuanhua's doorman, and he rushed over to scold himself, what does Sun Yuanhua think? Will he think that Cheng Shijie wants to change his court?

Besides, Sun Yuanhua is the governor of Denglai, and he is just a white body, even if Cheng Shijie stammers himself, what can he give him?

No one wants to do things without profit.

Some people are like this, originally Chen Zilong was not interested in Cheng Shijie, and he should feel very bad, but when the news of Haizhou's victory spread, Chen Zilong was already impressed by Cheng Shijie.

You must know that the only person who can behead Jiannu above 4,000 is Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, who relied on his 8,000 soldiers to crush Jiannu to death......

In the carriage, Chen Zilong lifted the curtain, looked at the layers of wheat seedlings outside the car window, and on the way back, he saw the crops that were tormented by insects and drought.

Chen Zilong nodded for a while and shook his head for a while. Chen Honggui, the chief attendant of Chen Zilong, who was in the same car with him, pointed to the crops that were growing well and said, "All the way, the crops here are the best." ”

Chen Zilong nodded and said, "The teacher has always admired Cheng Shijie, but I didn't expect it...... Cheng Zhengyu really has some ability. ”

Unlike the rhetorical generation of the Fushe and the Donglin Party, Chen Zilong is a down-to-earth and pragmatic person, and he is not like an expert in later generations, rolling out the red carpet to the edge of the field to take a few photos and say a few words that are not nutritious.

Now that the drought is serious, the displaced people are swarming, and the grain harvest has failed year after year, Chen Zilong is also anxious, and he has done everything possible to appease the displaced people and organize production, but the results have not been great, because he has just helped the displaced people, and in the blink of an eye he will become a tenant of the landlords and gentry.

And God doesn't help, saying that if it doesn't rain, it won't rain, what can he do?

"Stop!"

A thin man in his forties behind Chen Zilong hurriedly got out of the car.

"Chang Gung!"

Chen Zilong watched Song Yingxing get out of the car, and he also hurriedly got out of the car.

Song Yingxing got out of the carriage and trotted all the way across a sturdy wooden bridge to the river, where he reached out and grabbed the soil from the edge of the wheat field and carefully analyzed the composition of the soil.

Chen Zilong followed, a group of sons and brothers also followed, huhula hundreds of people crowded to the edge of the field, right here, several traffic managers holding wooden sticks and wearing black clothes blocked the roadside, shouting: "Don't trample on the wheat field, stop advancing, you stop advancing!" ”

Traffic management, this is with the traffic pressure in southern Liaoning, from the original project of 100 households transferred people, after simple training, responsible for directing traffic, they are the same as the city management, not soldiers, but accept the management of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Chen Zilong was also disgusted with trampling on the wheat field, his prestige was high, but it did not cause conflict, in fact, when this group of sons and brothers went to the wheat field, the military households who were working in the distance had already rushed over with hoes and sickles (cutting sweet potato seedlings).

Song Yingxing could easily judge why the military fields in southern Liaoning were in good condition, densely packed with waterwheels, which could irrigate the farmland in time, a large amount of grass and wood ash, and the silt in the ditches, which was natural organic fertilizer, and the prevention and control of pests and diseases, and good seeds......

Let's talk about irrigation, now the drought is serious, many ditches have dried up, farmers can only use their shoulders, use vehicles to transport, send water to the fields, tired and tired can not water a few acres of fields, that little bit of water just dialed down and disappeared!

As for the insect pests, it is even more troublesome, the most typical is the locusts, the locust plague together, thousands of miles of red land, there is no way to resist it, and other pests are not far behind, one by one shows their own magical powers, and the scourge of crops is not finished! As for fertilizers...... Not to mention this, it's all tears.

Cheng Shijie actually didn't have enough fertilizer, but he used precious silk cloth, tea and salt to buy the leftover bones from the herdsmen in Jiannu, although this kind of thing is not valuable, but the problem is that the bones contain a lot of phosphorus, and after being broken, they can be sprinkled in the ground to play the role of phosphate fertilizer.

These things are not complicated to say, just like Cheng Shijie trained the Ning Navy, as long as there is enough food and grass, clear rewards and punishments, fairness and justice, the army will quickly form combat effectiveness.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is not incapable of fighting, no matter how long the army has not been trained, as long as they are given sufficient military pay and fed, their combat effectiveness will be afraid even of themselves.

Song Yingxing pointed to the bone meal in the soil, as well as the ashes of the grass and trees, and said: "Among people, how did this Cheng Zhengyu do it?" ”

Chen Zilong smiled and said, "When we meet Cheng Zhengyu, we will naturally see each other!" ”

When Chen Zilong and his entourage arrived outside Jinzhou City, Jinzhou City at this time was ten times larger than the original Jinzhou City, and the expanded part did not have a city wall.

This made the boys present feel very puzzled.

"There are no walls here, what should I do if Jiannu comes?"

Not far away, a carpenter who was working rushed over with an axe: "Jiannu is here, where is Jiannu?" ”

Chen Zilong saw it clearly, as soon as this scholar said Jiannu, the surrounding soldiers and civilians in southern Liaoning had green light in their eyes, as if Jiannu was the fat in their eyes.

In fact, Chen Zilong guessed well.

As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. Because the reward for the military merits of the Ning Navy is fifty taels of silver, or fifty acres of land and a head. Even the elite of the Guanning Army did not collect at night, and they were lucky enough to cut off the head of Jiannu, and they would not report to the above, they took the head of Jiannu and ran to southern Liaoning for hundreds of miles.

asked Cheng Shijie if he could exchange the land for them.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the military and civilians in southern Liaoning, Cheng Shijie announced: "No matter who it is, men, women, old and young, as long as they get the head of Jiannu, they can exchange it for 50 acres of military merit fields, or 50 taels of silver." ”

Even a tomb robber in the pass, formed a gang to go to Liaodong to rob the tomb, they found a new grave, just like this tomb was dug up, this is still a noble cemetery, not only a body that has just been buried, but also four martyred girls, they not only robbed the burial goods in the tomb, but also brought the five heads to Liaonan.

After an inquest, the Ning Navy eliminated the heads of the four martyred girls, and this Mo forty-year-old Jiannu was regarded as a military merit and rewarded this group of tomb robbers.

Of course, Cheng Shijie will not use these Jiannu heads as military merits, military merits have no meaning to Cheng Shijie, and now two months have passed, the capital is still quarreling, and the reward of the Ning Navy has not yet come down.

Coming to Jinzhou City, Chen Zilong was given a big surprise by the wide and flat roads, endless fields, water canals extending in all directions and waterwheels in Jinzhou, and after seeing the dense pedestrian traffic in the city, the goods in the shops are dazzling, and the buildings that look novel have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, they were surprised, such a prosperous place, it is rare in the north!

What surprised them the most was that there was no one named Hanako here!

Song Yingxing said: "I didn't expect that the Central Plains is so full of disasters and difficulties, and there is such a prosperous and stable place in southern Liaoning, it is really a paradise!" No wonder so many displaced people are rushing to settle here! Brother among people, Cheng Shijie, the chief soldier of the Naning Navy, is really not simple. ”

Chen Zilong nodded and said, "No wonder the teacher values him so much, he is indeed talented." Brother Chang Geng, what do you think it is? ”

At this time, at the corner of the street, on a platform about a foot high, stood a young man wearing a Confucian shirt but not very old. At this time, the young man was reading something with his eyebrows, and everyone listened to it with relish.

Chen Zilong squeezed over, and saw several newspapers pasted on the wall, and the masthead of the newspaper was printed with the four big characters of "Liaoning Southern Weekly".

After listening to it for a long time, Chen Zilong finally understood that this young man was telling the story of the Yang family generals.

"The Liao army held a Hongmen banquet on the golden beach, the Yang family Qilang and the Eight Tigers went to the banquet on behalf of the Song Lord, Da Lang died on behalf of the Song Lord, Erlang raised the jack gate to let his younger brothers escape, and was killed by the Liao army's random arrows, San Lang's war horse was killed and trampled into meat by the Liao army's iron horse, Shilang became a prisoner, Wulang was wounded and became a monk, Liulang died nine times before he broke out of the encirclement, and Qilang was tied to a hundred-foot pole by Pan Renmei and shot one hundred and three arrows......

As the young man narrated, a tragic and tragic battle slowly unfolded in front of everyone, and everyone seemed to be able to hear the screams of the dying soldiers of the two armies, and the unyielding roar of the soldiers of the Yang family, and smell the disgusting smell of blood emitted by the splashed blood.

The military households and civilians who were listening to the newspaper in the audience began to wipe their tears: "The Yang family will be so pitiful!" ”

"Damn corrupt officials!"

"Pan Renmei ...... on the day of the dog"

This time, Pan Renmei carried the black pot again.

In order to increase the circulation of the newspaper, Cheng Shijie not only published some famous names such as "Yang Jiajiang" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the weekly newspaper, but also focused on cotton planting technology, alfalfa grass planting technology, and soybean planting technology.

These boys can be regarded as eye-opening, and the scene of thousands of people working together is not almost seen in the Central Plains, even in the spring ploughing and farming seasons. The Central Plains is densely populated, and within ten miles, there will definitely be villages.

The Central Plains is not like southern Liaoning, where there are no villages, and the smallest settlement is a town, where a thousand or more families live together.

Cheng Shijie encouraged military households to raise chickens and ducks, these poultry, because locusts are too terrible, and chickens and ducks can eat locusts and maggots, which can better prevent epidemics.

The thousands of huge chicken flocks amazed these boys, who were accustomed to the small-scale peasant economy of an old cow and a few acres of fields, and suddenly encountered this kind of large-scale breeding, and it was impossible for them not to be amazed.

Farm is Cheng Shijie's heart and liver baby, the farm outside Jinzhou City is divided into chicken farms, duck farms, fish farms and cattle farms, chicken farms and duck farms in the chicken and duck farms as many as tens of thousands, every day will lay a large number of eggs and duck eggs, for the military households who can't even eat enough, this is a rare delicacy, and chicken manure and duck manure is the best fertilizer.

The scale of the fish farm is not large now, only seven or eight hundred acres of fish ponds, but there are a lot of fish fry in it, these boys and buddies see that the fish farmers are holding the boat in the pond to feed, every time the fish food is thrown, there will be a large number of fish surfacing to scramble. Fish food is mainly fermented chicken and duck manure and fly maggots, fish eat grow very fast, especially fly maggots, that is a highly nutritious food, fish eat not grow into a ball is not finished.

Seeing that chickens, ducks and fish eat flies and maggots, these boys and buddies have shown that they definitely don't eat chickens, ducks and fish in southern Liaoning, they would rather eat pickles......

Although Cheng Shijie was very busy, after learning that Chen Zilong and his party had arrived in Jinzhou, he still rushed back to Jinzhou from Fuzhou.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Song, I'm very sorry, Cheng is busy with military affairs and can't meet him from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

"Cheng Zhengyu is polite!"

When Chen Zilong and Cheng Shijie were greeting, Maldina in the back looked at Cheng Shijie seriously, for Maldina, Xu Guangqi never tried to praise anyone they were not familiar with in his family letters, and it was normal to talk about Sun Yuanhua or Chen Zilong.

But Cheng Shijie is too strange to their Xu family. More crucially, Mardina received a private message of her own.

The meaning of this, as the fourth lady of the Xu family, she quickly understood.

This was an intention to choose a husband for her.

Maldina looked at Cheng Shijie seriously, Cheng Shijie had a dignified body and a dignified appearance. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint. The chest is broad, and there is the majesty of ten thousand invincibles.

In fact, every fat man is a potential stock, especially when he loses weight, if half a year ago, Cheng Shijie was indeed a dead fat man, although his height is 1.85 meters, but his weight is more than 240 pounds. Although the eyes are not small, because the face is large, the eyes are not big.

However, the problem is that the current Cheng Shijie, due to his busyness and physical exertion, his weight has dropped to less than 200 catties, although he is still a fat man, in terms of his height, he is already fat.

At least his belly, which was once comparable to that of a pregnant woman who was eight months pregnant, has now largely disappeared.

Cheng Shijie speaks clearly and speaks well, even Chen Zilong feels that Cheng Shijie is different from ordinary martial artists, he must have gone to school, read books, and all the sons have dabbled in hundreds of schools, although he is not refined, he is very knowledgeable.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Song, please move!"

"Go!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Sun Futai Sun once told Cheng that Mr. Chen will come to southern Liaoning to use the climate of southern Liaoning to develop drought-resistant and cold-resistant seeds. But now I will go some nights, please go into the city, Cheng will prepare a thin wine, and please enjoy the light. ”

A banquet passed, early the next morning.

Chen Zilong, including these sons, began to get up, wash, and have breakfast, and they also began to go out of the city, and when they went out of the city, they had some trouble. Because more people and military households carried hoes and talked and laughed to the military fields outside the city, a considerable number of foreigners followed suit, and the day's work began.

Due to the large number of fields cultivated, they returned to the city to eat and delayed the car, so when they went to work outside the city, they needed to cook some food outside the city temporarily, of course, they could only do it once.

Cheng Shijie took Chen Zilong and his entourage to Zhenhai City, which is roughly in the south-central part of the Lanpudian District of Dalian City, which belongs to the coastal plain, where the rivers are dense, the climate is humid, and the most important thing is that the territory here is relatively safe.

Just left, Cheng Shijie's honor guard and escort moved forward, and where Cheng Shijie passed, the military households and people were very fanatical.

"Cheng Shuai, Cheng Shuai......"

Many people flocked to the roadside, and some even waded into the water.

When Chen Zilong saw this scene, he frowned secretly.

Cheng Shijie said: "You don't think that these people are organized by Benshuai, right?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Not really!"

Cheng Shijie smiled bitterly: "It's really not, Ben Shuai is most afraid of trouble, these people are so fanatical, it's really not a good thing!" ”

Of course, the common people are fanatical, most of them have moved from other places, and they belong to the hard-working clan who are still in the stage of self-made, simple and kind, and they are very grateful to Cheng Shijie who gave them food and planted their land.

More people migrated from the coastal islands, and they were all survivors of the more than 4 million people in Liaodong, many of whom were like Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, whose entire families were killed by Jiannu.

They saw that Cheng Shijie killed Jiannu in Jinshi Mountain, and Haizhou ambushed more than 10,000 corpses, although Haizhou's great victory was originally a record picked up by Cheng Shijie, and many Ninghai officers and soldiers also knew what was going on with this great victory.

But the problem is that no one wants to believe the truth, who dared to mention to his family that the soldiers of the Ning Navy were accepted by God and froze to death, and the parents of the Ning Navy officers were pulled over.

"It's just that those local tyrants and inferior gentry slander Cheng Dashuai, their butts sit differently than ours, and they also coax, and their conscience makes the dog eat ......"

Home is not a reasonable place, all the people of Liaodong are willing to believe that Cheng Shijie beheaded more than 10,000 people, killed Jiannu and fled in embarrassment......

Cheng Shijie recovered the four prefectures in southern Liaoning, allowing countless surviving people in Liaodong to return to their hometowns, although Cheng Shijie did not return their own fields, nor did he give them any benefits that they could get. But they trust Cheng Shijie very much.

Especially the passbook in the hands of the officers and men of the Ning Navy, in the eyes of many people, this is because they Cheng Dashuai has no money and has borrowed money from the Bank of Liaonan.

The people at the end of the Ming Dynasty were so simple.

Cheng Shijie built the Jinzhou Academy, and as usual, he also gave the people and military households who participated in the construction a bucket of food every day, but these people, no one went to receive food, they would rather not have this salary.

Although Cheng Shijie has a special road repair engineering team, there are also many people who finish the work in the field during the day and go over to help at night......

When Cheng Shijie took Chen Zilong and his party to Zhenhai City, these Jiangnan sons were dumbfounded, they looked at the shops that had already been prepared in the city, from all kinds of furs to rouge gouache, and more high-end cosmetics and perfumes that Cheng Shijie got from later generations, as well as various gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques seized from pirates and bandits.

All kinds of commodities are dazzling, eating, drinking, playing, after learning that Cheng Shijie is ready to pick wool, Huanglong also waved his hand, sent more than 400 Korean beauties, more than 200 Japanese women, Zhenhai City is the only city in southern Liaoning with a green building.

A street of food and snacks.

Beauty Street.

A street of clothing, shoes and hats.

Fur Street.

A street of cultural and antique goods.

There is also a street of erotic services......

Cheng Shijie looked at those sons, didn't make them bald, sorry for them.

Cheng Shijie also provided bank loan services very intimately, the money is spent, it doesn't matter, you can borrow money, the interest is not high, 20%, is it intimate? Kiss......

PS: The update is not fast in these two days, the author's second master died, the second master is ninety-seven years old this year, because the second master's son went early, the funeral needs the author's father to help handle, but the father has just undergone surgery, the right lung is removed, can not walk, can not be emotional, this matter can only be handled by the author. Yesterday I was busy reporting the funeral and handling some chores, and today I need to cook and invite the spirit, and I have to be a filial son to guard the spirit. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lao Cheng did not rest, if it was not a last resort, he would not lower the update, I hope you will be considerate, tens of millions of books, the more you chase the poor, the more there is no recommendation, this is a vicious rote circle.
