Chapter [Comprehensive reform, won the hearts of the people] on
As soon as Mu Linfeng returned to Mu Mansion, the servant said: "Master Shi, Master Wang and Master Chen have been waiting in the mansion for half a day. Master Shi and Master Wang have gone back, but Master Chen is still waiting in the guest room!"
Mu Linfeng said hurriedly: "Tell the kitchen to prepare supper!" After saying that, he went to Gu Meisheng's room first and saw that Gu Meisheng was already asleep. The servant said that Gu Meisheng had taken a dose of medicine and had been sleeping until now, without daring to take off his clothes.
He was always taken care of by a maid, so Mu Linfeng felt relieved and hurriedly went to the study.
Chen Zilong had already started to take a nap in the study. As soon as Mu Linfeng entered the study, he woke Chen Zilong up. Chen Zilong quickly stood up and said to Mu Linfeng, "Mu Shuai!"
Mu Linfeng laughed quickly and said: "Brother Zilong is too polite. Didn't Mu say that he would treat brother Zilong as a friend? If brother Zilong calls Mu Shuai again in the future, he really won't treat Mu as his friend!"
Chen Zilong quickly raised his hands and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Mu!"
At this time, the servants had prepared the food and wine and brought them over. Mu Linfeng motioned for Chen Zilong to sit down and said, "It's so late. Brother Zilong must have something important to do. Come, let's talk while we eat!"
Chen Zilong quickly took out a stack of paper from his arms and said, "To be honest, Chen just dealt with Mr. Mu's problem at that time!"
When Mu Linfeng heard what Chen Zilong said, Monk Zhang Er was really confused. Chen Zilong quickly explained: "When Mr. Mu told me about agricultural reform, Chen just agreed casually. Why did this happen? Chen didn't know whether to change it."
How to answer..."
Mu Linfeng heard this and said to himself: "So you kid has been dealing with things!" He laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, brother Zilong must think that Mu is the same as Yangzhou or even some Ming Dynasty management, just saying one thing and doing the same thing.
You’re doing it all, you’re even trying to get benefits from the people, right?”
When Chen Zilong heard this, he quickly stood up, bowed his hands to Mu Linfeng in shame and said: "Young Master Mu is really wise, Chen... this... Chen really thinks so!"
Mu Linfeng quickly motioned for Chen Zilong to sit down, pointed at the stack of papers on the table, and said, "These should be the plans to distribute farmland to households, right?"
Chen Zilong nodded and said: "Yes, it was Chen who came out this afternoon. It is still the first draft. Let me review it with Mr. Mu first. If there are any omissions or inaccuracies, please point it out to Mr. Mu so that Chen can make changes after he returns!"
"As he said this, he handed the manuscript paper to Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng took it and took a look. The manuscript paper was filled with densely written words. Maybe it was because Chen Zilong was rushing to finish the manuscript. The handwriting was very sloppy. Mu Linfeng took a rough look and found that he could barely understand seven or eight of the ten sentences. Chen Zilong had already
It fully details the distribution of farmland to each household, and also analyzes the possible and inevitable obstacles and hardships, and lists them one by one.
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but nodded and said: "Brother Zilong is really a talented person in agriculture!" After saying that, he put it aside, picked up the wine pot and filled Chen Zilong with wine, then filled himself with wine, and said to Chen Zilong
He said: "Come, brother Zilong, let's drink a drink for the smooth progress of our 'dividing fields to households' and for the sake of the people of Yangzhou and even the whole world!" After saying this, he drank it all.
Chen Zilong drank all the wine quickly and said: "Mr. Mu, for such a big project, Chen is afraid that he doesn't have enough manpower. If he really decides to do it, he will offend many powerful people in Yangzhou."
Mu Linfeng nodded and said: "Yes, these people are short-sighted and definitely don't know the benefits of 'distributing fields to households'. It is indeed troublesome, but brother Zilong, don't worry, tomorrow Mu will be in Yangzhou and the counties and towns around Yangzhou to make official documents
, give these guys a vaccination first!"
Chen Zilong wondered: "Vaccine? What is this?"
Mu Linfeng laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Oh, this is a Nanyang dialect, which means giving them a warning first!"
Chen Zilong nodded when he heard this, and then said: "I see, Mr. Mu is thoughtful and needs to give these wealthy landowners a warning first. This will be good for future work!"
Mu Linfeng then drank with Chen Zilong while discussing how to gradually implement these details. The first step was to take back all the land in Yangzhou. The farmers naturally had nothing to say. They were eager to get more land, but the local tyrants and squires,
I'm afraid the landlords are not so easy to talk to. We need to work out a specific plan to get them to voluntarily give up their land as much as possible.
Mu Linfeng said: "If you don't hand over the land, we will increase the tax until they can't bear it. Let's see if grandpa pays it or not."
Chen Zilong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid these gentlemen will come out to cause trouble!"
Mu Linfeng said: "We can't help them. Shang Yang's reforms are all enforced. Behind Shang Yang is Qin Xiaogong, and behind Brother Zilong is me. I don't believe that these grandsons have been in Yangzhou for generations and can still run away."
Can’t do it?”
Chen Zilong smiled and said: "With Mu Shuai, Chen will be reassured."
Mu Linfeng said: "Brother Zilong, don't worry. I am Xiaogong and you are Shang Yang. I will never let Brother Zilong end up like Shang Yang. To be honest with Brother Zilong, Mu's ultimate goal must be to comprehensively control the entire Ming Dynasty."
Reform, Yangzhou is just a place for experimentation. Brother Zilong can let go and do a big job. As for the officials, Mu will do their work. Mr. Shi and Wang Zhizhen will also work hard for Mu. I believe they
It can also play a lot of roles. Brother Zilong doesn’t have to be afraid of those who are unreasonable. I can assign you a group of people to dispatch at any time!"
Chen Zilong studied agriculture all his life. He was very unsuccessful in the officialdom before. Now he met Mu Linfeng and felt like a duck to water. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long. Now when he heard what Mu Linfeng said, he immediately stood up and said, "Mu Shuai is like this."
Chen has nothing to repay for his great love, but it will be the result of the hard work of dogs and horses!"
Mu Linfeng stood up and held Chen Zilong's hand, thinking: "If you want to repay me, just go and break up with Liu Rushi!" But he laughed and said: "Hey! Brother Zilong is too polite! In the future, this matter will be dealt with.
Mu will have to rely entirely on Brother Zilong!"
Mu Linfeng and Chen Zilong discussed some details, including the re-surveying of the land, compensation, manpower, and which town to start from. They all needed to be carefully considered. Chen Zilong said that the preliminary preparations alone would take ten days and a half.
Mu Linfeng told Chen Zilong not to worry, to do it slowly, or not to do it, but to do it well. Chen Zilong naturally understood that this was his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Mu Linfeng looked at Chen Zilong and said in his heart: "You are busy and I am very free. Just let me take care of Liu Rushi for you!"
After Mu Linfeng and Chen Zilong chatted for a long time, they tentatively decided on some plans, and then Chen Zilong stood up to leave.
Mu Linfeng stood up quickly and said: "It's getting late at night, why don't you, Brother Zilong, spend the night in your humble house while Mu asks his servants to prepare the guest room!"
Chen Zilong quickly declined and said: "These plans have just been implemented, and a lot of information still needs to be modified. Chen will not disturb me and will say goodbye!"

He muttered to himself, as if talking in his sleep, couldn't help but shook his head, and went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, as soon as Mu Linfeng woke up, he heard a servant say: "General Long and General Chen are here?"
Mu Linfeng asked curiously: "General?" Then he thought that it must be Long Qingyun and Chen Dahan, and quickly asked his servants to take them to the study. He hurriedly freshened up and went to the study.
When Mu Linfeng walked to the door of the study, he heard Long Qingyun's voice: "No matter how many people come, Long Er will tell them whether they come back or not."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he thought to himself: "Is there an enemy coming?" He thought about it and entered the study.
When Long Qingyun and Chen Dahan saw Mu Linfeng, they immediately coughed a few times and stopped talking.
Mu Linfeng said: "Second brother has something important to do with Dahan?"
Chen Dahan said: "According to the spies, the officers and soldiers of the Huai'an Prefecture are ready to make a move. It seems that Wang Chengen and the princess fled to Huai'an, right?"
Mu Linfeng asked: "Is there any further movement?"
Long Qingyun stood up and patted the table and said: "No matter if there are any further moves, Mu Shuai, give me two thousand troops, Long Er will bring peace to Huai'an!"
Mu Linfeng laughed quickly and said: "Second brother, there is no need to be angry. This matter should be reported to Brother Long first. At the beginning, we were talking about capturing Yangzhou and there were no other tasks!" Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "How can we do this when Yangzhou is not stable yet?
You are acting rashly, and you are seeing that the 'distribution of farmland to households' is about to begin, but you can't let Wang Chengen spoil the big thing!" Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng asked Chen Dahan: "What news is there in Jinling!"
Chen Dahan said: "The people sent to report the victory have not returned yet. I think they have arrived at Jinling and are on their way back."
Mu Linfeng nodded and asked: "By the way, did Yangzhou do anything special today? There was no trouble caused by what happened yesterday, right?"
When Long Qingyun heard what Mu Linfeng said, he immediately knelt down in front of Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng stood up quickly and said, "Second brother, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Long Qingyun said: "Mu Shuai, Long Er knows that he is wrong and should not protect those boys. Today, the entire Yangzhou City is singing praises for Mu Shuai, saying how good our army is, and some people even go to the military camp to give gifts to our soldiers.
Vegetables, chicken, duck, etc., his grandma's. Long Er has lived for so long and has never been praised so much. These are all due to Mu Shuai's good leadership. From now on, Long Er will do whatever Mu Shuai says. Long Er is right to Mu Shuai.
Handsome is just one word!"
Mu Linfeng really didn't expect that the people of Yangzhou were so enthusiastic. He quickly pulled Long Qingyun and said: "Second brother, I have already told you that except in the military camp, official business, and war, you call me Mu Shuai. At other times, you will always be Mu Shuai."
Someone’s second brother!”
Chen Dahan also smiled and said: "The second master is very happy. On the way to Mu Mansion, there were many villagers who stopped the second master, and there was even a matchmaker who wanted to arrange a marriage for the second master!"
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Is this really true?"
Long Qingyun's face turned red for the first time, and he said: "Those old ladies are too busy to eat and hold on!"
Mu Linfeng and Chen Dahan laughed, while Long Qingyun sat alone and was depressed.
After a long time, Mu Linfeng said: "By the way, the vacancies of the brothers who were beheaded yesterday must be filled immediately. If they are transferred from Jinling, it will be too late. They will select two hundred divine machine battalions from the surrendered army."
Chen Dahan and Long Qingyun promised repeatedly, and Mu Linfeng said: "Tell me, what are the shortcomings of our firearms army?"
Long Qingyun said: "Firearms stop cooking when it rains heavily like yesterday!"
Mu Linfeng nodded when he heard this, and murmured in his heart, yes, firearms in this era really cannot be exposed to rain. If the Japanese want to fight, they can't look at the weather forecast first, right? Besides, even if the weather is chosen well, the enemy will never attack him.
Do it according to your wishes? This must be improved by Wu Xing in the future.
Chen Dahan said: "By the way, there is also speed. I have an idea. I wonder if it will work?"
Mu Linfeng said: "But there's no harm in talking!"
Chen Dahan said: "That day when we attacked Yangzhou, I wonder if Mu Shuai has seen the enemy's cavalry?"
Mu Linfeng then remembered that the enemy's cavalry was very fierce that day, and his own camp was almost broken by the opponent's cavalry. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, the enemy's cavalry is very impressive!"
Chen Dahan whispered: "Dahan has been thinking that if the enemy used cavalry and repeated crossbows that day, our camp might not be able to hold on..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he immediately felt a chill in his back, and thought: "Yes, that's right, the enemy's cavalry didn't start to surge up to the archer cavalry until the end. Apparently they have been experimenting. If they surged up to the crossbows at the beginning, what would be the consequences?
It’s really unimaginable!”
Chen Dahan continued: "From this, Dahan speculated that if we develop another group of mounted archers, I don't know..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng immediately slapped the table and shouted: "That's right, Da Han, you are really a born wise general!"
Chen Dahan said repeatedly: "I don't know if Dahan is right or not. This incident has always stuck in my mind recently, so I thought about it more..."
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Mu absolutely agrees with this. They say that the south is good for boats and the north is good for horses. Now that we are in the north, with endless horizons, this cavalry archer will definitely work!" Then after thinking about it in his mind, he said to Chen
Dahan said: "Well, Dahan, Mu will immediately write a letter of divorce to Jinling, so that Mr. Wu can leave for Yangzhou. You will be fully responsible for the cavalry camp. Mu seems to have seen that our cavalry has taken
They are marching across the battlefield with muskets!"
Long Qingyun listened for a long time and then said: "Cavalry plus muskets?"
Mu Linfeng and Chen Dahan said at the same time: "Yes, it's just cavalry plus muskets!"
Mu Linfeng immediately wrote a letter to Wu Xing. The general content was to ask Wu Xing to bring all his equipment and helpers to Yangzhou to discuss important matters. He handed it to Chen Dahan and said: "This letter must be sent to Yangzhou."
Send it to Mr. Wu of Jinling, we urgently need Mr. Wu’s muskets."
Chen Dahan took the letter and said, "I'm afraid this matter has to be approved by Master Long, right?"
Mu Linfeng felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Yeah, I'm so happy and confused. I'm just wishful thinking here. Will Long Qingfeng let him go?" Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng wrote another letter to Long Qingfeng, the content of which was
Roughly speaking, although Yangzhou has been determined, Huai'an, Fengyang, and Luzhou are eyeing it and posing a threat to Yangzhou. Therefore, it is urgent for Wu Xing to come and increase the production of muskets. Moreover, many shortcomings of the muskets have been found, and they need to be discussed with Wu Xing to solve them. If Wu Xing
When traveling in Jinling, correspondence was too cumbersome and untimely, so Long Qingyun was asked to send someone to escort Wu Xing to Yangzhou.
After Mu Linfeng finished writing, he handed both letters to Chen Dahan and said, "They must be sent to Jinling!"
But Long Qingyun suddenly said: "Second brother, why don't you write a few letters to your brothers and sisters? Why don't Long Er personally go back to Jinling and pick up Mr. Wu, and also pick up some of his brothers and sisters by the way?
how?"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he thought to himself: "Of course it's the best. I don't know what's going on with Yuanyuan's illness? But I'm afraid Long Qingfeng won't let her go!" Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng couldn't help but frown.
Long Qingyun said: "Second brother, don't worry. When Long Er goes to Jinling, he will definitely bring Mr. Wu and several younger brothers and sisters!"
Mu Linfeng then nodded and said: "That's fine. Mu was also worried before that Brother Long was concerned about us, as if he wanted to hold Jian Nei as a hostage in Jinling. It would be best if the second brother could take them all.
If not, second brother must not conflict with Brother Long. The most important thing now is to invite Mr. Wu!"
After Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Liu Wanshi, telling Liu Wanshi to take good care of Chen Yuanyuan and others. If Long Qingyun is willing to let them come, they can come to Yangzhou with confidence. If Long Qingyun and others are not willing to let them go, they can come to Yangzhou with ease.
Liu Wanshi was asked to act according to the opportunity and secretly escorted Ji woman to Yangzhou.
Mu Linfeng handed all three letters to Long Qingyun, and then told Long Qingyun: "There is also the most important thing. Please convey to Brother Long that we are in a tight situation in Yangzhou and have surrendered too many troops.
Please ask Jinling to increase some military pay and food!"
After Mu Linfeng repeatedly asked, Long Qingyun left Mu Mansion. Mu Linfeng also asked Chen Dahan to start training cavalry gunners from today, and they must be trained before there are moves in Huai'an, Fengyang, Luzhou and other places. Chen Dahan
Return to camp immediately after receiving the order.
After Chen Dahan left, Mu Linfeng made time and went to Gu Meisheng's room. The servants had already packed up the room for Gu Meisheng. By this time, Gu Meisheng was no longer in the room. The servants said that Gu Meisheng had gone out early in the morning and was not there.
Tell me where you went.
Mu Linfeng had no choice but to go to the government office to see Wang Zhizhen and Shi Kefa and ask about their visit to Mu's Mansion last night.
