Amidst the wind and snow, the city gate slowly opened.
The people crowded outside rushed in and rushed inside.
The gatekeepers knocked and beat repeatedly to stabilize the order.
There are many people, the queue is very long, and you have to check them one by one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making people impatient to wait.
"Qi San, where are you sending this cart of juicy winter vegetables?" Wu Commander Li She knocked on the carriage and asked.
There was a whole cart full of turnips, obviously they had just been picked not long ago, and they were very pleasing to look at.
If you can have a bite of fresh vegetables in winter, it won’t change!
"Send it to the palace. Liang Gong is holding a banquet for days. Winter vegetables are hard to find. The price is very high. I can also make a little money." Qi San said with a smile, wearing a raincoat.
"You've really made a profit." Li She sighed and said, "Not only have the land been divided, but there are also winter vegetables on the land."
"Thanks to Liu Ji." Qi San said.
After saying that, both of them laughed.
Binh Duong actually has a large population.
When they first invaded Chang'an, they brought back 80,000 men and women.
They attacked Luoyang, Xingyang and even conquered the grassland tribes, and brought back many Dingkou.
Coupled with the men and women sent back by generals from other towns, Pingyang's household registration is really prosperous.
Jinan King Liu Ji was captured in Wenxi and was sent to Luoyang. As expected, he would be beheaded in public display.
The wealth he accumulated was confiscated, and real estate such as manors and land naturally had to be dealt with: Years ago, Liang Gong selected 1,200 brave men from the 20,000 counties who accompanied him on the expedition, and turned them into mansions.
soldiers.
This Longxiang Mansion is located in Xiping City, located northwest of Pingyang.
Seven or eight years ago, Liu Cong used his son Liu Ji, King of Jinan, as the general to conquer the west and built Xiping City as his envoy's residence.
This city is not big, but functionally it is a military fortress, built to defend Pingyang and serving as its outer barrier.
Liu Ji had official duties, but he often lived here.
When Liu Cong went south to conquer Hedong, Liu Ji led his army to follow him. He was defeated and captured, and the garrison in Xiping City was also buried on the bank of Sushui River.
Shao Xun decided to make use of it.
After checking Liu Ji's property, he found that it was possible to place a soldier from Longxiang Mansion, so he started to implement it.
Overall, the soldiers of Xiping Longxiang Mansion really made a lot of money, because everything was "hot".
The banker's ready-made servants are the slaves of Liu Ji's family, so just give them a share.
The land is ready-made, and crops are even planted there, and have never been abandoned.
The houses are also ready-made, and many houses were left behind by the Xiping City garrison who died in the war.
If you are not married yet and don't mind, you already have a wife and children - the Xiping soldiers who died in the war left behind countless orphans and widows.
In fact, I don't really mind.
If you like to be a father, you will get children for nothing. This is labor power, and you will make money.
As for the biological child, wouldn't it be a rebirth? What a big deal.
In troubled times, the reorganization of broken families is the norm.
After all, after a cruel war, countless people died, and the government would encourage widows to remarry to increase the population. Therefore, it is a very common phenomenon for widows to marry with their ex-husband's children, and it cannot be viewed with normal worldly thinking.
Qi San doesn't mind.
From being the youngest in a family with no property to divide, he suddenly had a wife, a son and a daughter, a respectable house, five to six acres of garden land, and one hundred and fifty acres of cultivated land.
As well as a little money and livestock.
Isn't it better to be a proper middle class person in Pingyang than to go home and be a banker?
In fact, he had thought about it for a long time. His parents were old and in just a few years, after their death, his brother and sister-in-law would definitely kick him out. What would he do then? There were only two ways out.
The first is to start a household alone and wait for the Wei County government to allocate the abandoned fields to him, but he is not sure how long it will take.
The second is to work as a banker for a noble person, which is no different from selling oneself.
He doesn't want to sell himself, nor does he want to open up wasteland. Wouldn't it be better to take over? At least he has enough food and clothing, and he has a wife to keep him warm.
"Does anyone in your family speak Jin dialect?" Li She asked again as the motorcade slowly moved forward.
"No." Qi San said nonchalantly: "Do you need to know it?"
The two men looked at each other and laughed cheekily.
"This Huns girl is quite diligent." Qi San added: "She got up early to pick this vegetable, and I didn't even do it."
Hearing this, Li She was filled with envy and said: "Oh, I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I attacked Chihongling, I looked at the rain of arrows coming. I was afraid of death and hid, so I couldn't keep up. You rushed very fast.
He also beheaded two people."
Qi San smiled to himself.
In this world, you have to risk your life to fight. Can people who want to take over be lined up from Pingyang to Hedong, and can they become soldiers of the government casually?
That's because Liang Gong was very generous and would be rewarded for his merits, so the soldiers really fought hard, not for anything else but for their share of wealth.
This wealth may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the big shots, but for people like them who have nothing, their entire lives have been changed.
From now on, he will take root in Pingyang.
If the Hun women and cheap sons in the family dare to speak ill of Mr. Liang, they will be slapped with a slap on their ears.
If there is any abnormal movement among the barbarians in Pingyang, just attack them and kill them.
Perhaps, this is also Liang Gong’s original intention.
So very good.
Liang Gong slept with the queen, the general slept with the concubines, and he slept with the wife of the Xiongnu junior high school.
Liang Gong is really the god of our warriors. We will definitely send him to Luoyang to sleep with the queen again in the future.
When the snow gradually stopped, Qi San waved his hand, said goodbye to Li She, entered Daxia Gate, handed a cart of winter vegetables to the eunuch officials who came to deliver the goods, collected the money and left.
Taiguan Gao Shan spoke in Donghai dialect with a strong accent and kept giving orders: "The newly arrived winter vegetables will be transported to the East Palace for storage. Send special personnel to guard them. Don't ignore them."
"yes."
"There are many hypocritical Han people in Ningshuo Palace with ulterior motives. We don't want everything to go through their hands. The safety of Duke Liang is very important. Can you afford it if something happens?"
"yes."
"You are clumsy. I will be transferred to another place in the future. If you bump into a noble person, you will die."
"yes."
Everyone nodded in agreement while secretly cursing.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
This Gao Shan rose to prominence because of his relationship with Uncle Liang. He obviously could speak some Luoyang dialect, but he didn't speak it. He deliberately spoke with a Donghai accent and pointed fingers at others.
What? Donghai dialect is Dajin Yayan?
However, this palace is located in the East China Sea. There are many guards, palace servants and servants from Lanling. They are already a huge force and there is no way to recruit them.
The newly harvested winter vegetables were quickly sent to a corner of the East Palace for temporary storage. If nothing else happens, they will be available later today.
The East Palace is not far from Yunlongmen. The main hall is Yanming Hall, which covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres. It was once the residence of Liu Yi, but Liu Can never lived there.
After the four guards of the East Palace were transferred, Liu Yi's situation became increasingly difficult, and many "supernatural legends" emerged, such as the four doors of the East Palace destroying themselves for no reason, the East Palace raining blood, etc., which are quite nonsense.
Today is the first month of the fourth year of Shengui (320). Liang Gong's eldest son and second son are already thirteen and eleven years old respectively. Of course, it is impossible for them to continue to live in the harem. In the end, Liang Gong made the decision to let them live in Yanming temporarily.
temple.
When the palace people were carrying winter vegetables, they saw the two young masters.
Each of them was surrounded by seven or eight people, all of whom were nephews of generals or meritorious ministers who had died in battle. They were accompanying the young masters to study and practice martial arts. They were practicing rifle shooting at this moment.
The martial artist stood aside and gave advice from time to time.
Officials who taught classics and history were also present, and seemed to be waiting for them to finish shooting the last few arrows before returning to the main hall of Yanming to study.
The palace people put away the winter vegetables carefully and gently, then returned to Yunlongmen.
At this time, another team of people arrived and brought thousands of sheep. The leader was named Wang Chen, who used to be a regular servant of Liu Hanzhong, but now he has no position and is just a miscellaneous person.
"Where did it come from?" Gao Shan asked with his nostrils turned upward.
"Servant Bo Tai, former Zuo Si Li Chen Yuanda, Sikong Zhu Ji, Da Si Nong Zhu Dan's family." Wang Chen lowered his head and replied seemingly respectfully.
These few people, like Jinan King Liu Ji, were all characterized as pseudo-officials who could not be pardoned.
Chen Yuanda died of illness, but his family could not escape the blame. This man made great contributions to the Xiongnu, and he was a hero of the enemy and an enemy of me.
Zhu Ji went to Kansai, and his family could not escape either.
Zhu Dan was once a general of the imperial army of the Jin Dynasty. After being "optimized" by Sima Yue, he defected to the Huns in anger and led them to attack Luoyang. His crime was unpardonable.
The servant Butai could have been fine, but he refused to surrender and cursed Shao Xun, so he had to be sent to Luoyang to be beheaded, and his wife and children were turned into slaves.
These four families are all powerful Huns and have a lot of wealth.
Grain, livestock, and money were confiscated to cover the expenses of Ningshuo Palace.
The manors, land, villagers, farm tools, cattle, etc. have been registered. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be sorted out and exchanged with others to build a Longxiang mansion and place 1,200 soldiers.
The benefits brought by conquering the enemy's country were too great. A lot of Pingyang officials were liquidated. The land, housing, etc. were all ready. The soldiers moved in directly with their bags, seamlessly connected, and there was almost no resettlement cost - Shao Xun was there before. Clearing abandoned farmland in Puyang and other places to resettle the soldiers is actually a big expense, because you have to bear the living expenses of the soldiers for the first two years.
During the period of suppressing Pingyang, he was using his own way to digest the newly acquired land bit by bit - at a time when many people were not aware of it.
"Liang Gong has ordered that the sheep be sent to the Forbidden Garden to be raised, and they can be used as they please. It's up to you to do this. You don't need me to teach you, right?" Gao Shan snorted coldly and said.
The face of the conqueror is so ugly.
Liang Gong might be a little more polite, but the following is not necessarily the case for these little people who ascended to heaven. When did the famous Zhongchang Shi Wang Shen suffer such humiliation, he almost fainted for a while.
However, he endured it, said "yes" respectfully, and then led a group of palace servants to drive away the cattle and sheep.
At the same time, I am secretly worried. When my daughter becomes pregnant with Liang Gong’s son, let’s see how I deal with you.
Gao Shan didn't know what Wang Chen was thinking, so after looking around for a while, he returned to the Taiguan Mansion.
The Taiguan Mansion has a small warehouse under its subordinates, which receives the grain, meat, fruits and vegetables sent by the Young Master, and is now full.
Gao Shan was quite satisfied after seeing it.
Today is Zhengdan. In the evening, Liang Gong is going to have a banquet for the generals. Many dishes have been prepared in advance.
People around him looked at him with awe, which made Gao Shan very useful.
Since I followed Mr. Liang, life has been getting better and better.
This small group of them will one day replace the people in Luoyang and become the masters of the world.
The emperor also needs to gather people and serve as ministers to the dragon, and he is the one.
Chapter completed!
