Chapter 125 Come on, donor, let’s go to the grove to talk about Buddhism
Yang Feng met up with Zhang Dingbian and others who had arrived earlier at Changtu or Qingyang Fort, and then continued northward together with Zhu Zhi's escort.
However, there is still no real way to go north.
The Ming army's material transportation from Qingyang Fort to Jilin City was mainly carried by pack teams.
There are plenty of horses here.
Packaging transport uses the least number of people.
The most important limitation in Liaodong now is that its population is too small.
They happily moved forward on the Songnen Plain in spring. It took them more than ten days to reach Jilin City with the reclamation team on foot and even carrying various supplies. Then it took them another ten days to reach Jilin City in what can be called a wilderness.
Their reclaimed land...
By the Gangniu River.
“This place is like a paradise!”
Zhang Dingbian stood on the flowery grass and looked at the green mountains and forests ahead.
"What the master said is very true. I originally thought that Huining was a barren land, but I didn't expect that all the way along was a fertile land, that is, no one was cultivating it. If someone were to cultivate it, look at the land, it would really be fertile.
Oil. Moreover, there are mountains and forests on both sides of this place, with streams flowing downwards. As long as we cultivate on both sides, it will be a good paddy field, and the soil quality will be enough for an acre of seven or eight stones."
An old craftsman sighed with emotion.
"Yes, I really didn't expect it to be so good here!"
“What a great place!”
…
Other reclamation team members expressed their opinions one after another.
Zhu Zhi just laughed as he listened.
It's early summer!
How can it be bad?
Try again in five months!
"It's winter now and I'm afraid I'm going to run away."
He whispered.
"They can't run away. The contract is here. Where can they run? If they leave without permission, they will have to pay compensation. My adopted daughters cannot let them sleep in vain. The compensation alone is not enough even if I sell them."
Yang Feng also whispered.
"Brother has great foresight!"
Zhu Zhi said.
"Don't even look at it. Along this river, all the way to the mouth of the Lalin River, a hundred miles north and south are ours. According to the distribution on the previous map, each production team will go to their own farm and then build a house first.
Just use wood. The mountains and forests are also ours. Cut the wood as you like. Save food, hunt and fish as much as possible, and store it as much as possible. The more you store, the better. In addition, the more wood you can use to burn firewood, the better.
, all the houses are according to the style given to you, especially the fire kang must be strictly in accordance with the design. I want to inspect, and those who fail to meet the standards will be whipped.
Take back the woman for three months.”
Yang Feng shouted.
Take back women...
This punishment is very severe.
However, in theory, those adopted daughters were not married to these land reclamation team members. They were still Yang Feng's adopted daughters. To put it simply, they only had the right to use but not ownership, so Yang Feng could take back a period of time as punishment at any time.
Then I’ll have to wait for these three months to sleep alone!
As for the construction of houses here, they all have special design drawings.
The first thing is wood.
Secondly, there must be a fire kang.
The third thing is to have screen doors and screen windows.
Otherwise, we will wait for death when the army of small bites is dispatched in a few months!
Not only do you need screen doors and windows, but you also need to use the finest gauze, and you also need to prepare repellent medicine, that is, wormwood and the like. The more of these, the better. You are destined to suffer in the first year, but you will get used to it in the second year.
Enough.
Or numb.
fourth……
In short, it is all the result of experience.
In the first year, we did not consider actually reclaiming the wasteland, but settled down first.
But you can grow vegetables.
This does not require cultivating much land.
Things like radish, cabbage, especially pickled sauerkraut must be learned.
Then comes hunting.
So Yang Feng equipped everyone, even women and children, with crossbows. If he saw small animals that could be shot, he would shoot them directly. If they couldn't eat them, they would smoke them. Fishing nets were also a necessity for every household. Fishing and hunting must be everyone's.
Necessary skills. Fortunately, fishing is not difficult. After all, most of these people are from the southern water towns, and the old bandits in Zhang Dingbian have rich hunting experience. They are now assigned to various production teams.
It's hard to say.
After all, the most they encountered in the southern mountains and forests was South China tigers, but here were Siberian tigers.
Not to mention there are brown bears!
Legend has it that Zhang Dingbian can kill tigers with his fists, which should be South China tigers. I wonder if he can kill Siberian tigers with his fists.
"This is the field of hope!"
Yang Feng looked at the people happily distributing supplies and preparing to go to their respective farms.
The specific farms have already been assigned.
It is along the Mangniu River, lining up on both sides from the upstream to the downstream.
Then rely on mountains, forests and streams.
There are small ditches everywhere here that merge into the Mangniu River. To build dams on these small ditches, it is not necessary to build high-grade dams. It is just to use wood and stones to build overflow dams that raise the water level to facilitate irrigation.
Houses, dams, canals, and then land reclamation, infrastructure construction in the first year, cement kilns, and iron smelting.
There is iron ore here.
This is where Aguda started.
Aguda started its business by smelting iron.
Although it seems a bit exaggerated, a fishing and hunting barbarian actually made his fortune by smelting iron, but in fact he did it by smelting iron, and there are still ruins of their iron smelting in Acheng.
Before he launched his army, the main commodity traded with the Liao Kingdom was iron.
He sold ironware to the Khitans.
So Yang Feng can also do iron smelting here.
Of course, forget about Wuchang rice. You have to cultivate rice seedlings in greenhouses. Rice does not have a sufficient growth period here. That is, spring wheat and soybeans can be grown, but the key is soybeans. Making money as a cash crop is the most important.
"Ambassador, there are savages coming!"
Suddenly a reclamation team member galloped over on horseback.
Zhu Zhi looked at Yang Feng.
"Need not!"
Yang Feng said.
Zhu Zhi meant whether to use his guards or not.
"Grandmaster!"
Yang Feng shouted to Zhang Dingbian.
The latter is leading a group of old bandits there to study the location of dam construction. This old guy is not just a super general. He has a lot of knowledge, not just medical skills. He has probably been enriching himself over the years to prepare for a comeback in the future.
, he raised his head and looked ahead. Hundreds of guys in messy clothes walked out of the forest in an aggressive manner.
Obviously they are looking for trouble.
"Is this a Wuzi here?"
Yang Feng said.
"Yes, supposedly I should have told them, but obviously they didn't know, otherwise they wouldn't dare to mess with my brother if I were to kill them. It's probably that the prefect of Huining didn't tell them on purpose.
They have a good relationship with their fourth brother.
Fourth brother also took in a woman who was an outcast, and they followed him during several campaigns last year."
Zhu Zhi said.
This place belongs to Huining Mansion.
The current Huining Capital Command and Envoys Department is not entirely a garrison. There is also a Huining Prefecture and a Military and Civilian Prefecture specially set up for Yang Feng, that is, the prefect is in charge of the army and the people. If the civilian government is not good, that is the Chief Envoy Department.
There is no chief envoy here. Even if it belongs to the chief envoy of Shandong like the Liaodong states, the distance is too far, so we can only set up a military and civilian government similar to the chieftain, but it is not a native official but a floating official. In fact,
The fundamental purpose is to prevent Yang Feng from plotting here. Now Huining City is divided into two halves, with Huining Guard City in the west and Huining Military and Civilian City in the east, similar to Yongning City of the She family. Huining Guard is reclaiming wasteland to the west, and Huining Guard City is in the west.
Ningfu is to the east, but because there are no immigrants at all, the prefect of Huining and a set of yamen are currently there.
But no matter what, these reclamation team members of Yang Feng are under the jurisdiction of the Huining Military and Civilian Government.
Prevent him from letting himself go.
Not only here, Zhu Yuanzhang is also planning to set up Longquan Mansion in Xiguancheng.
It is also the military and civilian government.
It governs this territory including Chongjin.
So since this place has been designated as his reclaimed land, the prefect of Huining should notify the tribes here to get out of the way. The latter will leave. They are already wandering in the mountains and forests.
Migration is common.
What's more important is that this is Yang Feng's farming land.
How dare those unruly people offend him?
but now……
"What is the name of the prefect of Huining?"
Yang Feng said.
"Fan Jingxian, an unlucky official in Beijing, is a new member of Jiangxi Province."
Zhu Zhi said.
Indeed, it must be unsuccessful!
How could a successful person come here? He is said to be a magistrate but in fact he is just a yamen. He occasionally manages the merchants who come to trade with the Wuzhe and other tribes, but in fact he has no control over them. Behind these merchants must be the King of Yan or the King of Liao. In the end,
This time it had to be the commanders in Liaodong.
He has to keep his tail between his legs here.
Otherwise, any one of these guys is capable of causing him to be accidentally dragged away by a tiger when he goes out.
It wasn't until Yang Feng's land reclamation army arrived that Huining Mansion was truly full of people.
So he is effectively in exile.
"Not necessarily. Maybe someone asked him to deliberately cause trouble."
Yang Feng sneered.
Jiangxi civil servants......
Huang Zicheng and Lian Zining are both from Jiangxi.
Those wimps walked up to Zhang Dingbian and others in an aggressive manner. One of them stepped forward and pushed an old gangster. Master Zhang put his hands together in a good-tempered manner and explained to them like a real eminent monk. These vultures still respected the eminent monk.
, many of them originally believed in Buddhism, and now Zhu Yuanzhang has made great efforts to build temples, so most of them believe in Buddhism, but it can't change their stance, so the wimps and old bandits immediately started pushing and shoving.
It can be seen that they are also very restrained.
After all, they are also subjects of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Which guard should be here? If they kill the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely be punished.
Yang Feng and Zhu Zhi watched with interest.
Other reclamation team members rushed to reinforce.
Although the number of those wimps was small, they were obviously civilians, and there were even women, so they were not afraid. One of them arrogantly drew a knife and threatened with a false strike. The old gangster opposite him reacted quickly, and in the blink of an eye the knife was there.
In the hands of old bandits.
The Wu Zhe was stunned for a moment.
In fact, he was completely careless. In his opinion, this old guy was just a civilian. He was so scared that he ran away when the knife was cut. However, he did not expect that the latter's actual combat effectiveness was no worse than him, and he even had more experience. After all, these wimps can go through
The battles are nothing more than hundreds or thousands of levels, but these old bandits are all killed in battles of hundreds of thousands of levels. The Wus are considered powerful fishing and hunting barbarians, but these are also killed by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He was caught off guard and completely confused.
The man next to him shouted angrily and drew his sword and was about to step forward, but in an instant another old gangster next to him pulled out a short knife and put it on his neck.
The leader immediately drew his sword.
But didn't pull it out.
Opposite him, Zhang Dingbian grabbed his scabbard and sword tang with one hand with a kind look on his face.
He stared at the old monk with wide eyes.
Then he drew his sword with all his might.
But still can't pull it out.
"Donor, harmony is the most important thing in everything. The poor monk is here to promote Buddhism. Donor, please go aside and listen quietly to the poor monk reciting sutras."
Zhang Dingbian said very kindly.
The Wu Zhe leader's eyes widened, his face flushed, and he tried his best to pull out the sword, but he couldn't. Zhang Dingbian pulled him aside. He tried hard to resist, but was dragged involuntarily. The Wu Zhe around him couldn't help it.
Everyone looked at it in confusion, but at this time, the settlement team members also picked up their crossbows. Facing the crossbows in front of almost everyone, the Wu Zhe did not dare to move. However, Zhang Dingbian still dragged the Wu Zhe leader towards
In the nearby woods, the latter probably also collapsed. He did nothing else but grabbed his knife, desperately trying to pull it out while struggling backwards.
Zhang Dingbian simply swung him, and he immediately fell to the ground. Then Master Zhang dragged him into the woods like dragging Erha who was pretending to be dead.
"Although this man is a tiger, he still has the power!"
A guard general next to Zhu Zhi sighed with emotion.
"Have you met him?"
Yang Feng asked.
"When the general met him, he was just a small flag in the army. In the battle of Poyang Lake, if King Zhongwu of Kaiping had not fought to the death to protect the Lord, there would have been something unpredictable for His Majesty.
My Ming Dynasty has countless famous generals, but no one can suppress him.
If Chen Youliang conquers the world, he will be King Wuning of Zhongshan."
The man said with some emotion.
Yang Feng then stepped forward, and the reclamation team members quickly separated to both sides...
"You bitches, you dare to draw a knife in front of me after I've only been gone for a year?"
He shouted with a sullen face and in a vulgar tone.
Those bastards looked at him in astonishment, and several of them recognized him immediately. They were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground as if their bones had been ripped away in an instant...
"My lord, my lord, you are back!"
They crawled like worms, howling as they crawled.
The Wushu in the back woke up one after another. In fact, these were the ones who followed Yang Feng to burn, kill and loot. Most of the Wus in this area participated. Their fear of Yang Feng was also unforgettable. Looking at his demonic face, a
One threw away the weapon as quickly as possible, and lay on the ground like the previous ones, almost crawling forward.
"Sir, you guys really want to die."
"My lord is back!"
…
They howled as they crawled.
The reclamation team members looked on in amazement, this scene was indeed quite shocking.
Those in front had already crawled to Yang Feng's feet. Master Yang raised his foot and kicked over the first ones to arrive...
"You bunch of bitches are becoming more and more courageous. You even dare to mess with my people. Don't you know that this is my territory? These people are all my people? I think you are just cheap and deserve to be beaten."
Whip!”
Yang Feng shouted.
Then he took the whip handed to him by his subordinates and whipped it directly on the wudger.
The latter screamed.
But he lay there and didn't dare to move.
Yang Feng was among them with a whip, whipping him as he walked, but even though he was beaten and screamed, no one dared to get up. Even those who had already been whipped were still lying on the ground.
Endure it, just like a group of good docile dogs...
