Su Ze lamented more than once that there were too few useful people around him.
After Lin Xianyang and Lin Deqing left for the county town, my grandfather, who had been semi-retired, had no choice but to come back to help Su Ze deal with the affairs of Changning Wei.
Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure, but these days, the old man is getting older after all, and Su Ze can't bear to let him continue to work hard.
Returning to the ancestral hall, Su Ze told his grandpa the idea of moving some of the remaining Changning Guards to the mining village, and his grandpa immediately expressed his support.
"Aze was thoughtful. After all, the guard station is too close to the sea. If it is attacked, we old, weak, women and children will become a burden to hundreds of households. I went to that village near the village when I was young, and the land is no worse than that of Changning Guard. I
support!"
With the support of his grandpa, Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief. With his grandpa's prestige, he would surely be able to call on many people to move to the village.
The old man said again: "But you can't force this matter. This year's food has been planted, and there will always be people who are reluctant."
Su Ze said: "Grandpa, I've already thought about this. Based on the area of each family's land, the health office will reward households that relocate with twice the amount of grain they produce."
"There are also mature fields at the village. Those who are willing to go can get twice the amount of mature fields. The fields that will be reclaimed later will be counted separately."
The old man stroked his white beard and said: "Since you have thought everything about it, Ze, let's do it in your own way."
Su Ze smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa, someone has to be in charge of the relocation and land distribution. Brother Xian Yang has gone to work as an official in the county government. Can you recommend some useful people to me?"
The old man laughed and said, "You guys have thought everything through, so why are you talking to a bad old man like me? It turns out you are here to please someone."
Su Ze chuckled, and the old man said: "That's right, I, an old man, can't handle the affairs of the health center alone!"
"For this matter of relocating and dividing the land, you should go to Lin Xianzong! If he can control the situation in Wei, his group of disciples can also manage the land."
Su Ze's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it?
Lin Xianzong was a master craftsman in the shipyard. Before Su Ze came to Changningwei, his reputation was second only to his grandfather.
In fact, Lin Xianzong basically left the affairs of the shipyard to his apprentices, and the person recommended by his grandfather was just the right person.
The old man continued: "But before moving, you have to go find Lao Qi first."
"Grandpa is talking about Uncle Qi?"
Uncle Qi is Lin Qishu, Changningwei’s expert farming expert. He is the best at farming in Changningwei.
The old man nodded and said, "It's Lao Qi. If you let him move to the village first, the others will be willing to go."
Su Ze suddenly realized that Uncle Lin Qishu was the best at farming in Changning Guard. As long as he was willing to go to the village, it meant that the land there was no problem, and others would put down their worries.
"But is Uncle Qi willing to go?"
"Why don't you want to? Lao Qi's family has a large population, but Chang Ningwei only has this kind of land for farming. He is also worried that there is not enough land in his family."
"If you are willing to open up twice the land, Lao Qi will definitely be the first to go."
Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot, and now Su Ze doesn't have to worry about mobilization and relocation.
The old man continued: "We old guys can't work for a few more years. Ze, you still have to rely on young people."
The old man said: "Lin Xiantang, the son of Lao Qi's family, has an upright character, but he is also a man of justice."
"Last time Xiaoqi Lin Xianda, who escorted you to the county seat, was smooth and literate. This boy has not been a soldier since he was a child. He also has a brother in his family. You asked Baihu to help his brother join the army and let Lin Xianda follow.
You did a good job."
Su Ze quickly wrote it down, and the old man said again:
"Besides, Liangjun is getting older, so he should be responsible for the affairs of the guard station."
Su Ze thought of Little Luobotou. He had indeed grown a lot these days and had become the leader among the children in the health center. Su Ze could always handle the things assigned to him well.
Su Ze nodded and said: "Grandpa, I understand, I will let this kid work right away!"
When Su Ze came out of the ancestral hall, his thoughts suddenly opened up.
I used to worry about everything myself and didn't trust others to do it.
If you don't give others the opportunity to do things, how can you have the talents to do things? You must know that talents also grow step by step.
Su Ze adjusted his mentality. He followed the old grandfather's method and visited Lin Xianzong and Lin Qishu one by one. Both of them readily agreed. At this time, people from Nanping County arrived.
The people from the county government walked the fastest, and a group of government servants beat and hammered the bills of hundreds of households back to Changning Guard.
Baizhi County also thoughtfully gave Lin Xianyang and others a holiday and allowed them to return to Changning Guard to celebrate together.
Lin Mojun watched the county government officials hang up the banners again. Not only did the officials not ask for bribes this time, but they kept complimenting Lin Baihu.
Lin Mojun thought of when his father died in the war, when people from the county government came to deliver the banner, and how excited he was when he accepted the banner.
But after recovering the watch last time and sending it again today, Lin Mojun found it boring.
Lin Mojun only completed the ceremony symbolically, and then ordered people to entertain the servants who delivered the banner. At this time, there was another sound of knocking at the door of Changning Guard.
This time it was a banner sent by the government, and it was issued to Lin Baihu.
The servants of the government office also did not dare to ask for bribes. They also hung the banners on the houses of hundreds of households in a lively manner. Looking at the two banners, Lin Mojun was silent for a long time, and finally waved and said: "Reward."
The guards took the money and played harder, but Lin Mojun once again wavered in the honor his father pursued.
My father had been loyal to the country all his life, and he only received the honor after his death, and was almost recovered by the county government.
And I just wiped Yanpingwei's butt and got the government official's order.
The official from the government office here to deliver the banner told Su Ze about the reward given by the prefect to Chang Ning Wei.
"The history of the government office? I don't know which house's history it is?"
The official said very respectfully: "There is a vacancy in the Military Hall's Dianshi, so it is suitable for your defense office. The magistrate said that Xu Changning Wei recommends a person with a clean family background, loyalty, filial piety and integrity to serve as the official's Dianshi."
The rewards given by the prefect are not heavy. They are also officials, and the history is equivalent to the official establishment of the business. It is difficult to dismiss them from the prefecture, and they can even stay in the prefecture and violate the orders of the prefect.
And in addition to Dianshi, Fang Zhifu also allocated three official quotas, which means that when people from Changning Wei enter the government office, they will have one Dianshi and three officials. You must know that people in the clan are able to stick together, and the factions within the government office
The balance of power was suddenly broken, and Chang Ningwei became a major force in the government.
Su Ze was naturally satisfied with this reward, so he took out some money to reward the clerk who tipped off the news.
Naturally, it was impossible for Su Ze to go to the government office to make history, so he came to Lin Xianyang and said:
"Brother Xian Yang, I think it's you who should be responsible for the official history of the government."
Lin Xianyang said in surprise: "Me? Can I do it?"
"If it were an errand from another room, I would be worried that you wouldn't be able to do it well, but for the errand of the barracks, brother Xian Yang, you will definitely be able to do it."
"The government office is responsible for taking over the military affairs of each county, and also dealing with the Yanping Guards. You can handle these things."
Lin Xianyang thought about it and found that it was indeed not difficult.
Su Ze continued: "As for the county government errands, the health office will send someone to take your place. In addition, the prefect also gave us the qualifications of three government officials. What capable manpower does brother Xian Yang have?"
Lin Xianyang thought for a while, and then called the names of several young people from the guard station. Su Ze wrote down the names and said: "We have just made a contribution. Brother Xianyang, no one dares to do anything to you after you enter the government office. But as time goes by,
That’s not necessarily the case.”
"Brother Xianyang, remember that Chang Ning Wei is there to support you. Don't be soft-hearted when you get to the Yamen. You will deal with what needs to be dealt with."
After being trained by the county government, Lin Xianyang also knew the cruelty of the struggle between these officials. He nodded and said: "Brother Aze, I understand."
The list of officials recommended to the government and county government has just been decided here, and Yu Zongyuan also brought people to Changningwei to congratulate him.
After hearing that Commander Yu wanted to transfer all the technical backbone and equipment to Changning Guard, Su Ze became more certain that Yu Zongyuan was his money-giving boy.
After all this was dealt with, Su Ze also decided to return to Nanping County. Lin Mojun heard that Su Ze was going to the city and called him to the Baihu Station.
Lin Mojun had taken off her armor. She was wearing a loose Confucian shirt and still covered with a veil and said:
"The government official who just came to deliver the banner has already said that he hopes Chang Ning Wei can hide the matter about the real Japanese."
"As expected, more than a dozen real Japanese were captured. This achievement needs to be appraised by the imperial court. Then the Yanpingwei's incompetence in combat will not be suppressed."
Su Ze already knew something about the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. He continued: "Three hundred households were wiped out. Neither the government office nor the commander's office could bear this responsibility, so they roped in our Changning Guards like this."
Lin Mojun also knew in her heart that she didn't want this credit.
Killing dozens of real Japanese people, this merit can allow her to be promoted to a thousand households.
However, promotion to Qianhu requires an identity check, and her identity as a female Baihu might be revealed.
Su Ze said: "It's better to eat these rewards than to have the title of a thousand households. I have already recommended brother Xianyang to go to the government office to do history."
Su Ze's words confirmed Lin Mojun's idea. The military administration of the government was in charge of the military administration of the government, and the logistics of the military garrison in Yanping Prefecture were also under the jurisdiction of the military office. Letting Lin Xianyang be the historian of the military office would definitely bring more to Changning Guards.
Practical benefits.
Su Ze also talked about the matter of the Powder and Fire Bureau. He planned to place the Powder and Fire Bureau and the pellet-making workshop near the village. Lin Mojun also expressed support and sent a small flag to be responsible for the Powder Fire Bureau and the lead pellets.
.
After explaining everything, Su Ze returned to Nanping County together with the officials who had returned to the Yamen to report their orders.
Along the way, Yu Zongyuan talked about Yanpingwei's affairs, his tone full of schadenfreude.
"If Brother Su hadn't taken action, our Yanping Wei Yu family would have been doomed!"
Su Ze was speechless for a while and said, "Aren't you also from the Yu family?"
"Me? I have already separated my family. Even if the court wants to punish me, it can't punish me!"
Yu Zongyuan added: "Of the three hundred households that were wiped out by the army, one of them was a personal guard trained by my brother. My father lost his temper and kicked all the compensation and aftermath matters to him."
Second Young Master Yu did not shy away from Su Ze and told everything about the house.
Su Ze looked on with cold eyes. Aren't the affairs of the Yu family a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty?
The Japanese rebellion could not be quelled, and party strife in the imperial court was also one of the factors.
Zhang Jing, who presided over the anti-Japanese war in Zhejiang, had a good official reputation and was politically inclined to the Qingliu faction. Naturally, he was fiercely attacked by the ruling Yan Song party.
Zhang Jing is also a veteran. Of course he knows that the Japanese pirates are now powerful and Zhejiang officers and soldiers are afraid of fighting. However, there are one book after another in the court to impeach him. Zhang Jing must achieve something to silence these people.
This was the defeat of Yu Dayou.
Now the title book for Zhang Jing's performance has been filled with imperial cases of Emperor Jiajing. At this time, Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war was already a war both inside and outside the court.
The southeast is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Jiajing did not make mistakes this time. He did not replace Zhang Jing, expressed his support for Zhang Jing to continue to fight against the Japanese in the southeast, and beat Yan Song's party so that they would not cause trouble at the critical moment.
However, Yu Dayou was also removed from his secular position and asked to perform meritorious service. This was equivalent to a blow to the Qingliu Party and asked them to make some achievements quickly.
Su Ze suddenly felt a little sad. The lives of the people in the southeast, the invasion of Japanese pirates, and the imperial court's coastal defense had all become tools for the party to fight against dissenters. In the eyes of the big shots in the imperial court, the fight against the Japanese in the southeast was far less important than the struggle for power and profit in the imperial court.
Su Ze finally arrived in Nanping County. Although the atmosphere in the county was tense, there was no panic.
Su Ze understood that the government must have blocked the news about the failure of the Yanping Wei rebellion. The people in Nanping County only knew about the rebellion of the mining pirates, but they did not know about the subsequent war.
Su Ze looked at Nanping City where order had been restored. In this era, ignorance is also a kind of happiness.
Su Ze first followed the government officials to visit Magistrate Fang. Su Ze's cousin was named by Magistrate Fang, so the Magistrate Fang performed the student ceremony. Magistrate Fang was also very enthusiastic towards Su Ze and encouraged him to study hard.
That's right to the point.
"This time, Chang Ning Wei made a great contribution in suppressing the rebellion. It's a pity that the corpses of the real Japanese are difficult to identify. Is this?"
Su Ze immediately understood what Magistrate Fang meant. Su Ze's plan was to accumulate food and slowly become king. As long as the rewards were in place, the status of Qianhu was not important at all.
Su Ze said: "Before the students came, Baihu had already explained to me that it is the responsibility of Changning Guards to protect the country and the people, and the rest are all up to the master of the palace."
The prefect was even more satisfied, as it turned out that it was good to talk to smart people.
Magistrate Fang continued: "This government will not treat people with meritorious service badly. In addition to the previous rewards, what difficulties does Changning Guard have?"
"It is easy for bandits to gather near the mine supervisor. The students are planning to move to Ningwei and the people to open up wasteland near the village. What land is this?"
The prefect immediately understood what Su Ze meant, and he said: "I will ask the households to write to the county government. The land near the mine supervisor is ownerless. It has been allocated to the Changning Guards for garrisoning. You can build the land now."
Just send it to the county government for filing!"
After talking about the business, the prefect said:
"Rulin, have you finished writing "The Peony Pavilion"?"
Magistrate Fang rubbed his hands and said, "My wife loves to listen to operas. If Ru Lin finishes writing, can you do it?"
Su Ze immediately said: "As soon as the students return, have the complete set of "The Peony Pavilion" delivered to the government office."
Magistrate Fang admired Su Ze even more, and it turned out that he felt comfortable talking to Clever.
The prefect suddenly had an idea. Although Su Ze did not have a prominent family background, he was both civil and military.
Both parents are dead, and if the daughter gets married, she can be the head of the family.
The more the prefect looked at Su Ze, the more he liked him, and he secretly decided that if Su Ze could pass the exam next year, he would consider betrothing his daughter to him!
