The edict of Yangzhou Zuotu Mansion is mandatory, and its effectiveness comes from the cooperation of Yangzhou Tingsi. With the strong support of Tian Siwei, two squads, Mending and Chengjia, went on a long trip and took Tingsi away.
Half of the temple officials enforced the edict and drove out the savages and captured the refugees around Yanluo Mountain.
Wu Sheng knew that forced demolition was not easy, so he brought Zhong Shenyan and his brothers out to cooperate with Men Ding and Cheng Jia. The two sides cooperated extremely smoothly and complemented each other in handling the situation.
For a time, people were flying within a hundred miles of Yanluo Mountain.
In the concept of Yangzhou officials, the Yanluoshan area is an uninhabited wilderness area, because there are no feudal towns and no city walls. As for the barbarian villages, they are not considered "inhabited". Only Chinese people are considered "inhabited" in the true sense.
”.
When Wu Sheng moved to other places, the actual area he moved exceeded "a hundred miles". The number of hundred miles was an imaginary number, not to mention that no one really calculated how far a hundred miles was.
Mending and Chengjia understood Wu Sheng's intention and expanded the area of eviction to more than 120 miles. Zhongshenyan understood even deeper and reached as far as 150 miles away, where they found a home belonging to more than ten households.
Xiaocun, drove them all into Yanluo Mountain.
Although the savages were reluctant to give up, they did not dare to resist. They had no choice but to abandon the cultivated fields and the wooden houses and mud houses they lived in. They moved their families to Yanluo Mountain and rebuilt their homes on the designated land by Yanluo Lake.
Fortunately, the edict clearly designated places where they could live, giving them hope of settling down in the future. It was more or less compensation for abandoning their fields and houses, and the savages could still accept it.
The savage Hu Da was the leader of the small village where Zhong Shenyan moved from the farthest place. Twelve families and more than sixty people all succumbed to Zhong Shenyan's whip. With tears of sadness in their eyes, they expressed their hatred for Zhong Shenyan.
With anger in his eyes, he helped the old and the young walk to Yanluo Mountain. Moving one hundred and fifty miles north was not a short journey, not to mention carrying all kinds of belongings that he was reluctant to abandon on his shoulders. It was really hard to walk. It took a long time.
It took four days to reach the pass of Yanluo Mountain.
The extremely vicious Zhongshen pointed at the mountain and said: "Go in, there will be someone to pick you up inside, hurry up, it doesn't take three days to travel, but you delayed me for four days, I really deserve to die!"
Hu Da was worried that the villagers would be whipped again, so he had to urge him repeatedly and reluctantly dragged the people into the mountain pass. When he looked back, Zhong Shen saw that the villains had already beaten their horses and left. Suddenly, there was a cry among the villagers. It was a real journey.
It's too hard.
The tall woman suddenly screamed, but her second son was exhausted and fainted. No matter how hard he drank water or shook, he didn't wake up.
Hu Da's heart plummeted to the bottom. In such a situation, the child would probably die.
Just when they were frowning and at a loss, a pretty girl suddenly appeared in front of the villagers. She came to the fainting child, touched his nose, explored his wrist, and said to the villagers: "Go to the Yuwang Temple quickly.
If it’s too late, the child will be gone!”
Hu Da was stunned: "Is there any help?"
The girl replied: "Of course, who is the father of the child? Put the child on your back and follow me!"
To the villagers, this young and beautiful girl looked like a noble person, no, she was a fairy. What she said must be correct! Without saying anything, Hu Da picked up the child, followed the girl and ran into the mountains.
Hu Da rushed to the Yuwang Temple with the child on his back. Under the guidance of the girl, he placed the child in the shrine, burned incense and worshiped, kowtowed and prayed countless times. Suddenly, he heard a soft cry from behind the shrine, and Hu Da immediately rushed over.
, but his own child woke up leisurely and was feebly trying to get up.
Hu Da immediately burst into tears and took the child out. Regardless of his physical weakness, he pushed him down forcefully and made the child respectfully kowtow three times to the statue of King Yu again: "Son, King Yu appeared. King Yu saved your life."
Damn it!"
When leaving the Yuwang Temple, Hu Da asked the girl: "May I ask how you call the noble lady?"
The girl smiled and replied: "I am Xiaohuan, the guardian god of King Yu. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to the temple to find me. By the way, from now on, you must come and kowtow to King Yu at dusk every day, otherwise you will encounter difficulties in the future.
, King Yu may not be able to help you anymore."
Huda's Savage Village is located on a gentle slope beside Yan Lake. Although it is a sloping land, it is close to the lake, so there is no problem in irrigation and farming.
After demarcating the village, Hu Shi organized the villagers to build wooden houses. In the evening, Xiaohuan came again and said to the villagers: "Are you all hungry? Let's go to the Yuwang Temple to get today's food."
Hu Da led the villagers to the Yuwang Temple. Each person who kowtowed three times in the temple could get two pieces of flour cake from Xiang Qiniang.
In this way, the villagers began to settle in Yanhu, building houses in half a month, cultivating the fields in half a month, sowing seeds, and working hard. Every evening, Hu Da led the villagers to kowtow at the Temple of King Yu, receive food, and occasionally
The meat is divided and salt is provided.
If villagers suffer from diseases, they often go to the Yuwang Temple and worship, and they will be given elixir. According to Xiaohuan, this is called Yuwang Pill, which can cure all diseases. In fact, it is true.
Sometimes, you can see the figure of a dragon emerging from the water in Yanhu Lake. After emerging from the water, the dragon often exhales and chants, and bows to the temple of King Yu, which attracts the villagers to respect King Yu even more.
The stories engraved on the wooden plaques in King Yu's temple not only enriched the villagers' leisure time, but also gave everyone a deeper understanding of King Yu's miracles.
For hundreds of miles around Yanluo Mountain, there are seven savage villages of various sizes that were forcibly relocated to the mountains. The total number of households is two hundred and the population exceeds a thousand. If Wu Sheng hadn't been so wealthy, he really wouldn't be able to support so many people.
While the food was being spread out, the effect was also extremely significant. Thousands of people contributed their faith every day, and puddles of water gradually gathered in the pond below the well. Compared with Wu Sheng, Yong Zhi and Jin Wuhuan,
It would be hundreds of times faster to kowtow to oneself.
It is very expensive to run the Temple of King Yu. The seeds are just sown in the medicinal gardens and farmland. It is far from the time of harvest. Even if you save flowers, the daily expenses are more than three gold, so Wu Sheng must hurry up and enter the role.
, the great elixir.
Mo You and Yue Zhong were recruited to Yanhu Villa to refine black ginseng pills, raw bone pills, rhubarb pills, Ningxiang dew and other ordinary elixirs according to Wu Sheng's requirements. They had a "master-disciple relationship" with Wu Sheng.
With this relationship, Wu Sheng is not worried about them betraying their teachers to seek glory. Selling their teachers to seek glory will definitely do more harm than good. Even if they succeed, they will definitely be ruined. Therefore, like the Seven Disciples, they are tied to Wu Sheng.
Grasshopper on the grass.
With the help of Mo You and Yue Zhong, when the second month passed, Wu Sheng delivered the first batch of elixirs worth a hundred gold to Cui Ming, and the financial pressure was relieved.
In addition to Mo You and Yue Zhong, Wu Sheng also finally brought his concubine Dong Xue from Nuoxi Village to Yanhu Villa. In this remote place far away from the sky, Dong Xue's safety can be fully guaranteed.
This time, Wu Sheng tailored a Taoist nun's outfit for her and asked her to be responsible for treating people in the Yuwang Temple, further reducing her burden.
After working hard for three months, Yanluoshan began to show a prosperous scene.
