Chapter 700 What do you want to do
There is a plain dozens of miles wide in more than twenty miles southeast of Xiamen City. It was originally a piece of salty land, and no crops were produced at all. Therefore, it was abandoned there in previous years. Both the government and the people did not pay attention to it. However, now this originally desolate salty land has become lively.
Since the end of December, people from Shanxi and Shaanxi have come here under the care of officials, and the number of people has quickly increased from thousands to tens of thousands.
In order to resettle this group of immigrants, Yang Feng not only purchased 30,000 tents from modern society, but also purchased thousands of tons of grain and other daily necessities and hundreds of people and strong people through Jiangdongmen Foreign Trade Company in the name of export to help migrant people to resettle them.
That's not all. Yang Feng, who was afraid of chaos, urgently transferred thousands of soldiers from the Jiangning Army to maintain order. He had been busy for seven or eight days before he could resettle these people.
However, as more and more people migrated, Yang Feng ordered the Fujian Navy to start sending the migrant people to Taiwan in batches.
In order to allow the migration of hundreds of thousands of people to proceed smoothly, the court also urgently airborne a group of officials to work in Taiwan, including hundreds of officials, including the governor of Taiwan, the governor, the inspector, and nearly a thousand officials.
Today, Fujian Provincial officials such as Yang Feng and Xia Dayan were banqueting these governors and officials from afar.
The governor of Taiwan appointed by the imperial court this time was Bi Ziyan. He was originally the right censor of the Nanjing Censorate. He was known for his fairness, integrity, understanding the general and taking the overall situation into consideration. However, because he got closer to the Donglin Party, he has never been liked by Wei Zhongxian and others, so he stayed in Nanjing for three years.
The reason why this time was transferred was purely accidental. Over the years, the Donglin Party has been suppressed by the tacit understanding of Yang Feng and Wei Zhongxian. With the death of Gao Panlong and Huang Liji, the two leaders of the Donglin Party, the current Donglin Party's momentum is no longer as good as before.
Zhu Youxiao naturally saw this matter and didn’t know what he was thinking.
Although Taiwan is a newly built place with only tens of thousands of residents, the newly released vacant seat of the Taiwan governor is a fragrant nest, and many people are thinking about it.
These days there have been endless debates about the candidates for the Taiwan governor in the court. Almost every person and force who think they are qualified to compete for this position are working hard, but in the end they fall on Bi Ziyan, who has been in Nanjing for three years, who has been in Nanjing for almost no sense of existence.
The result was that the glasses were shattered all over the floor, but when Yang Feng received the notice, he immediately understood Zhu Youxiao's intention, and the suppression of the Donglin Party could be temporarily over.
Yang Feng was a little regretful and also a little emotional about this. It was a pity that the Donglin Party could not be completely defeated, and it would probably leave any troubles in the future. It was a bit embarrassing that Zhu Youxiao's emperor's mentality deepened a little.
After all, no superior or emperor will sit idly by the fact that there are one under his command, and several forces must be restrained.
Bi Ziyan is exactly 60 years old this year. According to this era, he is already in his sixties, but he is only of medium size and still looks full of energy.
At this moment, he sat on the same table with Xia Dayan, Ding Youwen and others and Yang Feng.
Bi Ziyan picked up the wine glass and said to Yang Feng: "Marty, this glass of wine is for the Xiaguan to respect you on behalf of the people of Taiwan and those who are about to move to Taiwan. Although many people in the imperial court still criticized you for sending troops to Taiwan without authorization, the Xiaguan thought that this was a great thing that would be rewarded for the present and future generations, so he would like to respect you for this."
Yang Feng looked at Bi Ziyan with some surprise. Since the old man came to Xiamen, he always held a serious face, which made people think that this is a person who is not easy to contact. Unexpectedly, he gave him such a high evaluation in front of so many officials.
When someone gave him a face, Yang Feng naturally had to take care of himself. He also picked up the wine glass and smiled: "You are polite, Mr. Bi. Four years ago, Yang was just a small merchant from Southeast Asia. By chance, he was appreciated by Grandpa Cao Dazhong and served as a thousand households in Jiangdong Gate, Nanjing.
After a lucky victory, I won several battles and was wrongly loved by His Majesty, so I really don’t dare to be Master Bi’s praise for this.”
Bi Ziyan shook his head with a serious expression, "The Marquis defeated the Japanese pirates with hundreds of military households in the first battle, and then turned to Liaodong, killing the thief chief Nurhaci. He even defeated the Qing Tartars several times and seized tens of thousands of heads, which made the Tartars dare not spy on our Ming Dynasty Liaodong.
How can this be described as lucky? Now he has taken over Taiwan for the Ming Dynasty and expanded territory. He is willing to pay his respects to this glass of wine."
Even though Yang Feng was quite thick-skinned, he felt a little hot. He didn't speak, and he tilted his neck and drank the glass of wine.
In fact, not only Yang Feng felt strange, but even the officials present felt a little incredible.
Everyone knows that although Bi Ziyan is not a member of the Donglin Party, his position in the past was biased towards the Donglin Party, otherwise he would not have been suppressed by Wei Zhongxian for so many years.
The grudge between Yang Feng and the Donglin Party is even more known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to toast Yang Feng and expressed his admiration today, which was much beyond everyone's expectations.
But soon Yang Feng and everyone knew why this guy, who had always been famous, said nice things to Yang Feng as soon as he came up.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Bi Ziyan put down his chopsticks and smiled at Yang Feng: "Mr. Marquis, this time His Majesty ordered the senior officials to serve as the governor of Taiwan, and entrusted hundreds of thousands of people to the senior officials.
The lower-ranking official was frightened and felt as if he was walking on thin ice. Therefore, today he took advantage of this banquet and his colleagues to ask the Marquis for something."
Hearing this, Yang Feng felt a sudden slap in his heart.
Bi Ziyan looked decent on the surface, but unexpectedly, he would have used tricks. He actually asked for help from so many officials. This was the rhythm of setting himself on the fire.
Yang Feng put down his chopsticks, coughed lightly before saying, "Mr. Bi is so serious. The emperor appointed this Hou as the Grand Commander of the South to fight, and is only responsible for the extermination of the pirates and forming a navy.
If what Lord Bi said is related to military affairs, I will naturally have no choice but to do so. If it is civil affairs, I am afraid you have found the wrong person. Don’t forget that Lord Xia is sitting here."
"Tsk tsk..."
The officials next to him were amazed. Bi Ziyan was an old fox, but Jiang Ning Hou was not a good man. This pusher made him really skillful.
But Xia Dayan felt a little distressed. He was just sitting next to him watching the fun and was shot.
Bi Ziyan was not discouraged and still smiled and said, "The Marquis is too modest. What the matter said by the Xiaguan is really related to the Marquis, such as the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty."
"My grass..."
