Jianghu has you (11)

This kind of thing has already become a fact, what else can we do except accept it?

Lu Chengfeng was sent to the village to recuperate, and Feng Mofeng was also sent there. From now on, it would be a place where weapons were forged and improved. It was not easy to get in, and even more difficult to get out. But the conditions above now support hundreds of people.

There is no problem with people.

Because Feng Mofeng was following Lu Chengfeng, Lu Guanying quickly said goodbye and took away several boxes of gold given by the fourth master. Soon, the gold would be converted into food and shipped back in a steady stream.

The fourth master also said, not a lot of good grains, but old grains and miscellaneous grains as long as they are edible. As long as the quantity is large enough!

Nowadays, the situation in Shandong and Hebei is worse than Lin Yutong has ever seen. The rivers have been diverted, wars and disputes have continued. As a result, except for the big households who can guarantee production, some of the other people have become refugees and run away, and the rest are reluctant to leave.

But there is no good land for farming.

The development and growth of beggar gangs has a huge relationship with this reason.

After all, purchasing food from elsewhere is not a long-term solution, and self-sufficiency is the long-term solution. Once you have a land, you must establish it, and when you get there, you must make it a place where you can live happily. Therefore, now we are attracting refugees to settle down.

How to settle down? First, measure the land. If the land of a large family has surrendered, then leave it alone for the time being. As long as you pay taxes and are willing to provide military rations, anything is easy. For those who do not surrender, the land vacated and abandoned,

The land is divided according to the head. Now the rules have been established. Taxes must be collected according to the acre, not the head. The land abandoned is exempted from taxation for ten years.

In addition, you can go to the government office to receive seeds for free. This kind of seed is brought from overseas and is said to be very high-yielding. Help the county government plant an acre of wasteland. When the autumn harvest comes, the county government is willing to pay two taels of silver per acre.

its acquisition.

This is basically a business that guarantees profit but no loss.

Nowadays, the government offices are very busy, and there are people everywhere who come to register the land. After clearing the land, I invite the old village witnesses to come and apply for the land deed, and clearly measure where the land comes from and where the crops are grown.

You also need to register and understand. If you take the seedlings out but don’t plant them, you’ll have to deal with it.

There is only one bundle of seedlings per acre, but if you plant them, you can exchange them for two taels of silver in a few months. Who wouldn’t treasure them?

There are people at the county government gate who constantly tell you about the habits of this crop and how it should be planted. Compared with other crops, it should be more worry-free. It is drought-resistant and easier to take care of. The leaves and vines that grow out

If it's too strong, you can just pinch off some of it and cook it at home. It looks like a radish and the fruit is buried in the soil.

Every day, several stalls are set up in front of the yamen, and several people take turns to explain so that everyone can understand first. Then, next to the yamen, there is a special courtyard where people live. In the corridors of the courtyard, as long as there are people who come to listen, the master will explain

.If you don’t understand this time, just listen again when you encounter problems. If you don’t understand, you can also ask the officer on duty. Why don’t you tell everyone? My father-in-law said, don’t care about anything else. Come up first.

Let's talk about fifty military sticks.

Then everyone will be relieved.

Originally, he wanted to ask Mu Nianci to lead the Women's Camp as a supervisor, and to rotate through the three counties, so as to avoid any double-handedness. But it turned out that the Women's Camp was different from what Lin Yutong had imagined.

It has been recruiting for so long, but none of the girls sent are even over ten years old. The youngest is only five or six years old, and the oldest is eight or nine years old. They are children in this age group.

As soon as Lin Yutong understood it, he realized that he had taken it for granted. Nowadays, this kind of drowning of female babies is even more common. Girls are not raised and cannot be raised. Those who are raised can be used as adults after the age of ten.

, you can get married in less than two years. You can get a dowry when you get married. The ratio of men to women should be imbalanced to a certain extent. Therefore, pawning your wife as a concubine is not a new thing. There are girls in that family, when

If you don't get married at an early age, you have to pawn it off. The price will be higher the first time and will gradually decrease later. Only when you are in your twenties will you be asked to marry again.

And what's even worse is that among the children born to such pawn wives during the pawn period, only boys belong to the pawn husband. As for girls... they may be drowned, or they may be raised rough.

So when it comes to recruiting a girl, who takes care of food, housing, clothing, not to mention the family, and how much money is left every month, it is not cost-effective to send an older girl, so some people ask if they want a smaller girl?

A small number of the girls to be sent here are from poor families who cannot afford to raise them. Most of them are because their fathers are unwilling to take them, and their mothers are pawned and cannot make the final decision. After a few years, they return to their original husband's family.

Most of the children were either left to be beggars or starved to death.

The world is in chaos, and when God does not regard human life as destiny, man does not regard human life as destiny either.

Okay! You don’t want any of them, right? I want none of them!

Lin Yutong went to Mu Nianci and said: "Send whatever you want. We will accept them! When the children reach fifteen years old, if the family comes to pick them up, they have to ask the children what they want. If they want to go home, let them go.

Go home. If you don’t want to go home, we will help you establish a household for your daughter, and we will give her a dowry when she gets married in the future.”

Looking back, Lin Yutong looked at Long'er who was sitting on the side, holding a hydrangea and playing with tassels. He squatted down and asked her: "In two years, our Long'er will study and practice martial arts with those young ladies, okay?"

Long Er shook his head: "I want my mother, I want my father!"

The child is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up, but this is definitely not the little dragon girl in the book. Now she is soft and waxy, and those who look at her feel soft in their hearts. Sometimes Lin Yutong even dresses her up to look like a boy, and the Fourth Master makes her look like a boy.

She took her to the study room in the front yard and asked her to sit on the large desk and play.

The only bad thing is being clingy. She can't be away from her parents for more than an hour, otherwise she will have to find someone. Even if she is familiar with someone like Mu Nianci, although she goes out with her, she wants to come back when the time comes. No one can stop her.

Her steps were so fast that Mu Nianci couldn't keep up. She could remember the road to the county government office exactly once she walked through it, and she would be able to trace it back.

The child blinked his eyes, which were moist, indicating that he did not want to leave his parents.

What can a mother do? Just touch the child's head and leave it at that! It's too early to say this now.

The recruited girls were first placed in a villa of a wealthy family. Mu Nianci took care of them there. Because the children were still young, Lin Yutong also specially found several literate people in the three counties.

When the old widows with hyphenation came out, they were not allowed to take care of anything else about their children except to teach them how to read.

The rest of the work should be done by Master Wu.

Lin Yutong never thought of a suitable person for this martial arts master. Unexpectedly, he was found by Mu Nianci. Mu Nianci found the successor of Yang Miaozhen. Yang Miaozhen was good at riding and shooting, and he was superb with the pear blossom spear. In battlefield conquests, such marksmanship

Very suitable for practice.

This heir only gave her surname as Yang, and everyone called her Mrs. Yang. She was in her thirties and dressed like a Taoist nun. Lin Yutong treated her like a distinguished guest and asked her to teach these girls martial arts.

Of course, not every child is suitable for practicing martial arts. After Madam Yang has screened the children, the eliminated children will still follow them to lay some foundations. It is not just because they have no strength. The remaining time is to learn.

Those who have cooking skills, those who learn embroidery skills, and more importantly, Lin Yutong wants to train some female doctors.

If you have a skill, you can make a living on your own even if you leave in the future. If you don't depend on anyone, you can still live well.

Every few days, Lin Yutong would also bring Long'er over to see the specific situation and teach the children some women's self-defense techniques.

Yang Tiexin felt that raising these little girls cost more than raising an army.

But Wan Yankang didn't see it that way at all: If all men and women among the Han people were soldiers, what would happen then?

He originally said he would stay here for a few days, but he didn't expect that he would not leave for the time being. First, the high-yield crops overseas attracted him to wander around the fields for several days, and then there was military training. These military trainings were closely related to the Jin Kingdom.

The military training was different. He had watched Yang Tiexin's military training for ten days, and he also saw some tricks. The opponent didn't care how strong the individual soldiers were, or how high their martial arts skills were. What they wanted was even a group of five people.

We also need to achieve close cooperation.

He didn't think highly of Yang Tiexin at first, but this method of training soldiers made him look at Yang Tiexin with admiration.

He also knew that this was probably Mr. Yin's method, but it was rare that he could carry it out without any hesitation. How many people swelled up after occupying high positions, and it was not easy for others to listen. But this person

Not at all, he even felt that this man actually respected his husband.

When I looked back from the barracks and tried to find Mu Nianci, she was already busy. After following her for two days, I became more and more optimistic about this place.

If the crops from overseas are really as high-yielding as they say, then this would be terrible.

A place with full stomachs will definitely attract more people. With more people, more land will be opened, and more taxes will be paid, and you will be self-sufficient. It will only be a matter of time before you can raise strong soldiers and horses.

In fact, what Fourth Master and Lin Yutong are short of now is not food or money, but horses.

Not to mention the food will be transported back from the south soon. After the autumn harvest, there will be a large wave of food stored for the winter. In terms of money, the caravans from the Western Regions cannot come back for the time being, but the transactions with the Southern Song Dynasty have been secretly carried out.

conduct.

What are you doing?

Go|Private!

Nowadays, the salt produced in the salt fields here is purified high-quality table salt. Salt merchants from the south send people to buy it secretly and then transport it away. It is sold from the sea to countries such as Goryeo. This is all for the enjoyment of nobles. The price

Of course it's expensive.

Now that the news could no longer be concealed, the fourth master had no choice but to find a way to invite the big salt merchants from the south to auction the salt-making method. This way they could quickly raise funds.

Wanyankang stayed here for more than a month. Fourth Master had to remind him that it was time to go back. Otherwise, if the food arrived in Bianjing, it would be troublesome.

Before leaving, Wan Yankang asked Fourth Master: "Sir, if you can help Mr. Yang, why can't you help me?"

I am always more reliable than Yang Yuanzhen. Moreover, Zhao Wangfu is probably much stronger than Yang Yuanzhen who comes from nowhere.

In his words, although he did not belittle Yang Tiexin, he did not show much praise.

This made Lin Yutong in the room have to lament that these parents and children may really need fate. Wanyankang is not a particularly difficult person to get along with. He is very smart. Because he grew up in the palace, he has knowledge and knowledge.

What they learn is different after all. At least it is completely different from those of the knights and knights.

For example, with the Fourth Master, we have actually not met each other a few times. Although the Fourth Master is better at cheating, Wan Yankang must first be a person who can communicate. As for Mu Nianci, to be honest, in addition to having a low self-esteem at the beginning, this girl

There is nothing obviously wrong. At least Lin Yutong can communicate with her as a normal person through thinking and logic. She also gets along well with Wan Yankang. Maybe she knows the identity of the other person and the two are familiar contacts. Is there anything wrong with that?

Lin Yutong didn't pay attention to the ambiguous situation. From her point of view, it was normal at any stage. But at this stage, this girl could communicate with Wan Yankang like friends, and she didn't say anything bad about Wan Yankang when she came back.

After living here for such a long time, not to mention Lin Yutong, but also Long Er and several housekeepers have become familiar with Wan Yankang.

But unfortunately, Yang Tiexin and Wanyankang could never get along.

We were sitting together for dinner before. Wan Yankang said that the lotus roots in Qiuli were delicious. Yang Tiexin wanted to retort: ​​"At first glance, you look like a young man who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. You know that the lotus roots have to go through a lot of time from digging them out to eating them in your mouth."

How many processes are there? Do you know that those coolies who dig lotus roots will lose half their lives after being soaked in cold water for a day..." Balabala, he can talk non-stop for ten minutes.

Wan Yankang held the chopsticks in his hand and almost tried not to say anything more unpleasant. He just said: "Mr. Yang said this because he thought the gentleman was too extravagant. If so, I would be willing to invite the gentleman to live in my house for a while..."
To be continued...
