Chapter 308: All poor people in the world are happy 4
Zhang Linqi said one thing well, problems that can be solved with the Shangfang Sword are not a problem. [] So these senior officials in Henan Province all felt that their heads were cold because the bottom of their butts were unclean! Zhang Linqi only said one thing when he was inviting them. Recently, the Western Factory Anime has entered the Henan territory in large numbers. Please do it yourself, and spit out what should be spit out.
Otherwise, when the men report to me, hum, I, Zhang Linqi, know you, I, don’t know you in my hand! So, after eating a banquet that these high-ranking officials later called Hongmen Banquet and the most expensive banquet in history,
Each of them vomited out pieces of land with heartache. On the surface, they had to pretend to be righteous, with a smile on their faces and blood on their hearts! But what should I do? Even the King of Fu can handle them, and it's not like a joke! (In private, there are rumors in the Henan officialdom that the King of Fu died inexplicably, as if he died at his own hands. But it was just a rumor. No one dared to investigate this matter in depth. Do you live impatiently? You dare to touch the tiger's butt!)
And it would be nice to eat some delicacies, but God knows, what are they eating? The bark of elm trees, the roots of celery, and the vines of sweet potatoes... They are all things that they don't usually eat at all and are treated as garbage. But today, Zhang Linqi took them out to entertain them in a noble manner. And there was also an order that each person would eat a bowl, and they would eat it even if they didn't. So these high-ranking officials could only eat a sweet rice with bitter face.
Therefore, this land redistribution movement, which later generations called the Henan Province earthquake, was vigorous and was completed very smoothly. The final result was that some people were happy and some were worried. Of course, overall, the number of people who were happy far exceeded the number of people who were sad!
Some people also want to say that since these high-ranking officials are all unclean, why not take them all down in one go? There is a problem with scale. It is certainly possible to take them all down, but this will cause too much shock, and it may make these people anxious! After all, Henan Province has just experienced this series of major events, so it is not advisable to use too intense means.
Moreover, Zhang Linqi has a bill in mind. If he doesn’t deal with these people now, it does not mean that he will not deal with these people in the future. As the saying goes, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, it is not that he will not be rewarded, and the time is not that he will not be rewarded. As time comes, retribution will come. Zhang Linqi’s follow-up plan, the measures to govern Henan, and also measures to target these people. Of course, this must be done slowly and not rush.
If Zhang Linqi talks about corrupt officials, he treats them like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, but he treats those poor people as hot as summer! To put it in a metaphor, not only will he help them on the donkey, but he will also send them off for another journey.
Considering that the people in Henan are really hard, even if they pay for the land, it is a bit difficult to get all the seeds and farm tools. So Zhang Linqi waved his pen and asked Tiantong Trading to transport 1,000 new water trucks and 2,000 hand presses, and 100,000 yuan to pack fattening rice powder.
Don’t ordinary people have no money? It’s easy to deal with. As long as there are more than five households insured each other, you can get a new water truck or hand press, plus five packs of fertilizer field powder. (It depends on the actual situation of the land. If the water consumes a lot, use a new water truck, and if the water consumes a lot, use a hand press).
In this case, no matter how poor the family is, there is no need to worry that the land will not have a good harvest. Moreover, Zhang Linqi is not afraid that the people will not be able to pay back the money at that time. Will they not pay back the money when the grain and rice are full? It is hard tolerate it! When this news spread, the people in Henan were moved again. It was Tianyou Ming Dynasty that a general was born!
It is precisely because of Zhang Linqi's measures that Henan, which has just been baptized by the war, not only did not show any signs of being in trouble, but instead, it rarely showed the enthusiasm of the whole people to work. If you don't make trouble with the fields with such good conditions, isn't that a complete prodigal son?
Moreover, after the enthusiasm of the people was mobilized, there were many other benefits. The fastest effect was that more and more prisoners of the rebel army were captured. Because the people now know that they had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and must cherish it. But someone was going to destroy it, such as Li Zicheng. So the defeated soldiers of the rebel army that were originally scattered around Luoyang were also captured in large numbers by the town.
Thinking about it, those honest farmers who were originally loyal to each other were all philosophies of doing things that were not related to their own affairs. Even if there was a strange face passing by in front of the door, they just pretended not to see it. But now it is not possible. The matter is obvious. The town is here to help the people live a good life, while Li Zicheng's tribe believed in killing them all and dragging people into the water.
Now that the town guards Luoyang, the scattered soldiers dare not do anything. But after the town leaves, who will defend them? When will the scattered soldiers be pulled out at this time? It is said that there have been news that local big families were looted by Li Zicheng's troops. Therefore, these honest farmers began to go against the norm.
Often, while farming in the newly assigned fields, they were vigilantly looking at the movements. Once they found a new face, they immediately reported it. Since the traffic was not developed at that time, there were often only a few acquaintances in the entire village, and once a new face appeared, it was easy to find it.
Of course, small people also have the wisdom of small people. They must defend their homes, but they must cherish their lives. Although the rebel army is hateful, they cannot be arrested rashly. What should I do? It is easy to deal with. Once I find a new face, I quietly go to the village to contact other farmers.
Didn’t it mean that there were many people and the power was great? Fighting alone might not be the opponents of those rebels, but ten groups of attacks were one! There was definitely no suspense.
So thousands of scattered soldiers of the rebels were tragic. They were escorted to the town camp by groups of farmers. Moreover, these farmers were not in vain, and a rebel army was escorted to the town and gave a twelve tael of silver. Everyone could still spend half a month of vegetable money.
But what if you encounter a large number of treasury soldiers, such as seventeen or eighteen or more, the people have a way. We can't beat you, even if the old and young men in the village can't beat you, but someone can deal with you. Often, these treasury soldiers have just appeared somewhere, and not long after, a brigade of towns flocked in, and then there is no suspense about what happened.
A series of trespassers were escorted back to the town camp, and in contrast, the villagers who reported the news received the rewards with a smile. According to the subsequent statistics, in just ten days, as many as 3,500 trespassers fell. This was jokingly called the ancient version of the People's War by Zhang Linqi!
Next, Zhang Linqi wanted to find a prestigious governor of Henan, which is the helm of the entire Henan Province! The requirements for this candidate are very high, and they must have enough talent to manage the entire Henan, and they must have enough character to resist corrosion.
However, Zhang Linqi had already known the candidate, that is Huang Daozhou, a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty and a famous anti-Qing hero.
In terms of talent, Huang Daozhou was smart and studious since childhood. He studied at Chong Academy in Tongshan at the age of 5; Shanzhang was at the age of 11; and at the age of 14, he studied in Boluo, Guangdong and was known as the "Talented Man in Minhai". Such people are more than enough to manage Henan. Moreover, although Huang Daozhou was born in a noble family, he was young and poor, and needed frequent help in farming, so he also had a deep understanding of the sufferings of the people at the bottom. In this way, after he took office, he would better serve the people.
Moreover, Huang Daozhou was also a famous scholar and a Jinshi. He was able to suppress the situation when he paid attention to his origins.
In terms of character, Huang Daozhou is also worthy of it. In the original history, when Huang Daozhou was in Longwu, Nanming, he served as the Minister of Personnel and Minister of War, and a Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace. He failed to fight against the Qing Dynasty and was captured and sacrificed his country generously until his death. Therefore, there is no need to worry about such popularity!
Of course, although Zhang Linqi was a time traveler, he did not have the aura of domineering power, and Huang Daozhou came to serve. Zhang Linqi contacted him through Chen Zilong, and Huang Daozhou was also very unsatisfied at this time. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, a senior official and a editor of the Hanlin Academy, and a young Zhanshi in the Zhanshi Mansion. However, seeing the difficulties of state affairs, Chongzhen did not accept some of his opinions (before Chongzhen met Zhang Linqi, Chongzhen had not been effectively guided at that time, and his temperament was a bit extreme, so he could not listen to the honest advice.)
So he resigned from his post in anger and went home to live in seclusion. But think about it, for a person who is dedicated to serving the country, the state affairs are corrupt day by day, but he is forced to live in seclusion at home. Of course, with the arrival of Zhang Linqi, everything has changed.
Although the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty has not been completely reborn, it can continue sailing. Its endurance is not bad. As for Huang Daozhou, Zhang Linqi has been sent by someone from home. After the two of them had a long talk all night, Zhang Linqi also gave Huang Daozhou a secret decree written by Chongzhen to him. Huang Daozhou finally agreed to serve as the governor of Henan Province.
The reason why Huang Daozhou agreed to come out was that, on the one hand, he was indeed willing to serve the country, and on the other hand, Zhang Linqi provided him with a stage where he could show his skills. He thought he was a thousand-mile horse, and Zhang Linqi was the boy. Moreover, Huang Daozhou also believed that Zhang Linqi's sincerity and demeanor were because his good friend Chen Zilong was now working in Gucheng City and was busy. Huang Daozhou was a teenager, but he was also a good friend. However, since Chen Zilong became the magistrate of Gucheng County, Huang Daozhou wrote to him three times, inviting him to come and have fun, but Chen Zilong's reply was busy and unable to escape.
Therefore, Huang Daozhou became interested in Zhang Linqi, who had never met at that time. There were not many people in the world who could work hard on Chen Zilong. The general of the country was indeed extraordinary!
The Year of the Dragon is here, I wish you all good health and all the best.
