After the spring rain, the mountains are covered with red clouds.
Ruzhou and Pingdingshan were the boundaries of Yingguo in the Spring and Autumn Period.
This country has the eagle as its totem, and it was the fiefdom of the clan of King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The world has changed, thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the ancient Ying Kingdom has long since disappeared in the long river of history.
But the people on this land are still there. They have reclaimed the barren land, developed a splendid culture, and established a larger empire.
The old and young Ying Guo now welcomes a new guest.
There are many bridges in Liang County.
Early in the morning, the new county magistrate Yang Man rode across Bohou Bridge and organized county officials to measure the land.
The county officials were obedient, and after hearing the order clearly, they dispersed one after another.
Yangman looked at their backs and remained silent.
This is a hard job that no one wants to do, not even him.
There are no very famous noble families in Liang County, and there are even few aristocratic families in the entire Henan County - even if there are, they have slowly moved away.
However, there are no native aristocratic families, but there are many local nobles who moved from Beijing.
The war in Luoyang continued, and many ministers were afraid, but were reluctant to leave the capital, so they went to the suburbs to build villas.
The Du family settled in Yiyang three generations ago, and this dynasty vigorously built Yiquanwu. The Du family in Jingzhao actually became the dominant force in Yiyang County.
There are actually only a few people like Shao Xun who openly use the fertile land next to Luoyang to grow food. The nobles who went to the suburban counties are probably still laughing at Shao secretly. Jingu Garden is good, with complete irrigation canals and fertile fields.
There is also a water dam, but if war strikes, can it be saved?
Compared with other suburban counties, such as Yanshi, Fengshi, Gongxian, Xincheng and other places, Liang County is a bit far away after all. There are not many wealthy officials and noble families who come here to settle down, but more ordinary small gentry. Moreover, they do not
I planned to settle down in Liang County for a long time, but I was very anxious to wait and see. If something went wrong, I rubbed the soles of my feet and headed towards Nanyang and Xiangyang.
Therefore, it is relatively easy to clear acres of land from them.
But Yangman is still annoyed.
As a new generation of "Junyi" from the Taiyang family, he had no intention of becoming an official now, even though he is already thirty-four years old this year.
There was no choice but to be persuaded by an elder among the tribe, and finally he pinched his nose and admitted it, leaving his hometown and coming to Liang County.
After all, he is just a county magistrate. If he doesn't like it, he can just throw it away and leave, even if he doesn't want to be an official anymore.
Now he felt uncomfortable, so he found a wine shop and sat down to rest.
The entourage rushed forward, those who laid the carpet, those who moved the tables, and those who carried the food utensils.
If we weren't in the wilderness, there would be the sound of silk and bamboo...
The food in a small country shop is crude and even a bit unsightly.
Fortunately, the store owner was eloquent and well-informed, so Yangman didn't walk away on the spot.
"It is said that during the Han Dynasty, Empress Bo returned to her hometown, and the government built a stone bridge on the Ru River. It was called 'Bo Hou Bridge' and this is the bridge." The shopkeeper quickly prepared the specialty dishes and after bringing them over, he said flatteringly.
: "There is also one over there in Jiacheng, but it has been destroyed."
Yangman glanced at it without moving his chopsticks, but asked: "This bridge is very new, is it not the original bridge?"
"Ming Gong is really smart, he can see it right away." The shopkeeper continued to pat his pale white butt, with a smile on his face that almost tore the corners of his mouth.
"Are there any places of interest?" Yangman asked.
"without."
Yangman was no longer interested and was minding his own business.
The servant also came out of the back kitchen and brought a dish, which was made from fatty fish caught in the river, cut into pieces and stewed together with wild vegetables.
Only then did Yang Man move his chopsticks. After eating a few slices, he nodded slightly.
The servant quietly withdrew.
The shopkeeper looked at Yangman dumbfounded.
But the county magistrate didn't know which family he came from, and the ostentation was so big. Wherever he went, he actually brought cooks, food utensils, wine utensils, desks and other things with him, which was different from small households like them.
Seeing that Yangman ignored him, he quietly left.
Yangman stayed in the wine shop until evening, and finally saw the first person who came to complain.
"Yang Gong!" A big man with a curly beard fell to the ground and said aggrievedly: "Why do you clear the land?"
Yang Man was also helpless. Yes, why did he clear his land? Hasn’t it been like this for many years?
Wasn’t the land occupation law promulgated by the imperial court always a joke? Why bother with it?
But he has no choice but to be this evil person.
"Li Li, why does your family have to dominate those fields? Anyway, there are no farmers to cultivate it, so we can only grow grass. It is better to let it out and avoid a disaster." Yangman shook his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.
Standing at the door of the wine shop, looking at the mountains, rivers and vegetation in the distance, he said.
"Yang Gong." Li Li said with a confused look on his face: "It's full of grass, so it can be used for grazing. Besides, there are still a lot of fertile fields..."
"You have the nerve to say that!" Yang Man suddenly turned around, pointed at Li Li with his finger, and scolded: "Most of your family came here without knowing it, do you think I don't know? The year before last, the Yang family moved south to Xiangyang. He
Have you taken away the house and fields left behind by your family?"
"Yang Gong?" Li Li murmured twice, not daring to speak.
Last month, the county magistrate held a banquet and invited all the scholars in the county. Li Li went there. At that time, he felt that Yang Gong was very talkative and talkative, and his treatment of others felt like spring breeze.
After he came back, he would tell everyone he met that he was indeed a descendant of the Taiyang family, and he had a certain demeanor, and everyone took it for granted.
But who would have thought that if he turned around, he would become a completely different person.
Seeing Li Li's wretched look, Yang Man also sighed and gave him a few words of encouragement: "General Shao Xun wants the land, so I'm not making things difficult for you. Some of the land that was taken by force is something that you can spit out. It's a forced fabrication."
For the bookmaker of this book, let me let some of it go. That’s it for now, think about it carefully.”
A strong man with no family background or official position, but taking advantage of the chaos in the world, desperately invaded the fields and forcibly collected tribesmen. There was no one to punish him. If he really encountered someone who was cruel and ruthless, his whole family could suffer.
Caiguan General Shao Xun was this kind of person.
The Yamen Army under his command has more than 5,200 people. This is not a passing army, but has been stationed in Liang County for a long time. Even if you are reluctant to use a large army to attack Li Li's Wubao, you still have to go out to farm.
Right? There are plenty of ways to manipulate you.
It's really irrational to go against such a military leader who has been stationed there for a long time. It's better to have a good talk and see what conditions they offer.
Li Li was quickly blasted away.
After he left, a second group of people and a third group of people came soon...
****
A small boat quietly docked.
Among the green willows, Shao Xun, Tang Jian, Huang Biao, Wu Qian, Chen Yougen and others walked out chatting and laughing.
"Lang Jun really kept his word." Chen Yougen grinned and said, "If you say give me land, I will give you land."
"When did Mr. Lang stop keeping his words?" Huang Biao glanced at Chen Yougen and said.
"Mother Huang Biaoer, why are you always so angry with me?" Chen Yougen was furious: "That was the case last time in Luoyang. I don't want to argue with you, you are still in high spirits, right?"
Huang Biao sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you yell at me. It won't be pretty if you disturb the mistress."
"What mistress? It's just -" Chen Yougen stopped mid-sentence.
That's how you talk without using your head. Damn it, this bad guy Huang Biao got into trouble again.
"That's enough." Shao Xun said, and then led everyone into a house.
The house is located on the north bank of Ru River, nestled among red flowers and green willows.
The first thing you see when you enter is a lotus pond.
It was already March, the breeze was gentle and the water was rippling.
Under the lotus leaves, frogs chirped.
Next to the green trees, fish jumped into the water.
In a pavilion by the pond, Lelan Ji ordered several servants from the Chengdu Prince's Palace to prepare meals.
When you come to Liang County, a Henan water town like Guangchengze, the first thing you want to eat is fish.
Shao Xun didn't like to eat fish soup, so Leshi made fish soup by herself.
There are actually some rice fields opened on both sides of the Ru River - this trend should be led by Xincheng and other places farther north - so naturally rice porridge is indispensable.
Other than that, there is the usual meat, cow and goat milk, fruits and vegetables.
Shao Xun practiced his martial arts skills every day, and he also used hard force on her. Leshi was so happy that she almost tore through several cookbooks and tried various ways to replenish him.
The only thing that made her unhappy was probably that Shao Xun always liked to be in the back.
Sometimes when she is alone and thinking wildly, she always feels that her husband likes her buttocks rather than her person, which makes her feel worried about gains and losses.
After a few people sat down, Leshi quietly disappeared.
Shao Xun tapped his right index finger twice on the stone table, and everyone held their breath and listened solemnly.
"Over at Yushanwu, three hundred people will be sent here first. It's up to you, Chen Yougen, to decide who will come first." Shao Xun said.
"No." Chen Yougen agreed.
"It is said that one hundred and fifty acres will be divided, which may not be enough." Shao Xun added: "But it should be very different. There must be more than one hundred acres. As for how to farm, it is up to you. The family members also have to cultivate.
Okay, you can recruit troops to farm, but there is one thing, you can't neglect the training of skills. There are several military exercises every year, and martial arts are tested at that time. If you can't do it, don't be a soldier, let others do it."
"No." Chen Yougen's heart trembled, and he silently thought about the first batch of candidates.
After much deliberation, I could only transfer the batches that could be used best.
Those guys are really cheap!
From being a penniless thief and outlaw to suddenly having a family and business, is this the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves?
And this is what he admires most about Lang Jun.
Many people wonder, how could he, with his violent and ferocious character, be willing to submit to others?
Chen Yougen could only laugh at this.
You know nothing!
The most powerful person in the world is not how fierce or brave he is, but that he knows how to save the world and bring this shitty world back to normal.
I admire such a person, and he actually does what he says. Isn’t he much better than you?
"The armor, equipment, and horses used by the officers and men of the Long Sword Army belong to themselves." Shao Xun said, "But this is only for this time. If there is any damage or loss in the future, you will have to find a way."
"Food and salary will be paid until the end of this year and will not be paid next year."
"There are some refugees from Hebei in Luoyang. I will send people to collect them. The limit is 1,000 households. They can choose their own people. After they are brought back, they will be registered and registered, and they will become their own tribes. As per the old rules, I
We will help support each other for one year. From next year, each club will support itself."
"If the land you are allocated is really not good enough and you won't be able to harvest much grain next year, you can report it yourself. Wu Qian will personally check to see if it is true as he said, and a batch of grain can be reissued next year as appropriate."
"I will carefully consider all the detailed rules for the army this month and announce them to all officers and men. In short, if you are given land, you must obey military orders, whether it is martial arts training, army drills or expeditions. If you don't obey, you will be punished by military law.
.”
"No." Everyone agreed this time.
There are only 300 people in the first batch, but this batch will not be the only one.
Everyone can look forward to it.
Chapter completed!
