"Marquis Yun, thank you for your kindness. I can hold on. Now the refugees are already living around the construction site. If we don't find a way for them to make a living, it will cause disaster sooner or later."
"Mr. Guan, this construction of the city to resettle the refugees is a long-term process. It is just the beginning. The troublesome things are still to come. You are about to collapse now. How will you persist until the end? The development of the two lakes was your first initiative.
Yes, what a pity it would be if you were to burn out your body and collapse on the way forward without seeing your results. Dongting Lake is originally a place with abundant food, and there will be no idlers anywhere.
There are countless tasks to be done, including building cofferdams, cultivating fields, and burning mountains to cultivate the land. The Zhengke Department of the academy has formulated a work process for the refugees. Don’t worry, they will come to Yuezhou for internship soon, and there will be help.
If you do all this well, when the new city is built, the surrounding agriculture will also begin to flourish. This is inevitable. Although it is impossible to grow three crops of the three-crop rice brought from Lingnan, there is still no problem in growing two crops.
, the rice seeds have been transported, and the Sinong Temple officials who teach the people how to cultivate rice seedlings are also going down the river. Now, it is still too late to plant a season of late rice. "
Yun Ye had very complicated feelings towards this old man. He couldn't say he liked him or disliked him, but a person who was willing to dedicate his life to his ideals at any time must maintain the minimum respect for him.
Seeing that Yun Ye had already prepared a way to deal with the crisis, Guan Tinglong bowed and bowed before retreating, following the sergeant to the fleet on the lake, where he could take a good rest.
"Cui Yan, do you know what your responsibilities are?" Yun Ye asked Cui Jiu when he saw Guan Tinglong walking out.
"The students understand that they will take the newly arrived refugees to open up wasteland, collect food, build houses, and at the same time test the growth of three-season rice in the two lakes."
"Just do it if you know it. Be careful about your own safety these days. You must be accompanied by guards when you go out. Yuezhou is not safe." Yun Ye said to Cui Jiu with deep meaning.
Professional people do things that are relatively professional. This is an attitude towards doing things. Yun Ye will never care about how to plant three-season rice, how to build houses, how to plan farmland, and how to arrange people's lives. This is
They always have their own way of doing the duties of local officials. Even if Yun Ye can do it ten times better than them, Yun Ye will never do it, because the gain is not worth the loss. When he came up with the random idea to build Wanmin Hall, he just
I couldn't get over being laughed at by Gongshujia for several days. In this case, why bother putting in more effort? It was my job to drink and have fun with the rich people from the big cities.
The interactions among rich people are always so considerate. A box of small gifts is essential when meeting each other. Although it is in a remote mountainous area, the banquet on the big ship is still extremely luxurious and has everything you need, including beautiful maids wearing jingle rings and bright red wine.
It was poured into a glass, and two crystal ice fish were placed on it. It tasted refreshing. It was rare for these people to find ice. Yun Ye sat at a table alone. There were various delicacies on the table, including delicacies from all over the world.
Yun Ye estimated that the host had put a lot of thought into this gathering.
The giant boat is driving slowly on the lake, with colorful lanterns hanging high, and the sound of silk and bamboo wandering around. Some people are raising wine and singing, and some are singing in a low voice. It's great to drink! The host's hospitable voice persuades people to drink. When the wine is intoxicating, the songs at home are heard.
He danced wildly, twisted his waist, and threw his long colorful sleeves to the husband of his choice over and over again. There was a look of resentment between his eyebrows. The governor was confused about the style, and he was still talking about the north with his host.
of majestic scenery.
During the banquet, there were bold and unrestrained people taking off their hats and clothes, holding huge pens, and wanted to write down the grand occasion of the day on the two-foot-long white paper. There were also people who tuned their own pipa, uneasy about the music score, and wanted to taste their own elegant tunes. The most interesting ones were the light drinkers.
, chasing the singer, trying to use someone else’s embroidered shoes as a drinking utensil...
As soon as the host's cloud board rang, everything fell silent, and a geographical model of the new city was brought up. This is today's main course. The reporter's brush was thrown on the lake, and the tuner's pipa lay horizontally. The singer had already been captured.
The romantic man who was moving his hands let go of the beautiful beauty who was like mud, his eyes were shining, was he still half drunk?
The governor was very drunk. He smiled and patted the model and said that it was not done well and the proportions were wrong. The new city would be so small. Everyone laughed in unison and quietly exaggerated the land they wanted to buy.
They agreed one by one. When they agreed, they showed their madness. They divided the land of the new city like cattle and sheep. The accompanying officials had earth-colored faces. They tried to persuade the marquis many times. He was drunk today and would discuss the matter again tomorrow. However, he was scolded in court and had to leave bitterly.
go.
A series of land documents were signed one by one by the drunken governor, and the gold and silver items were delivered on the spot. Although the servants cried bitterly, they did not neglect to examine the gold and silver. This was the only thing the prince could explain to the court.
thing.
After the banquet, the guests and the host dispersed, leaving the governor alone, lying among the gold coins, shouting wildly that he would sleep under the gold coins tonight. The giant boat disappeared into the dark night, leaving only the fragrance of pink, black and white lingering.
In Hancheng, Qian Sheng stamped his feet and howled, angrily pointing at the drunken Marquis and trying to scold him, but he found that the Marquis's eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked at the giant boat in the distance with a ghastly face. Could there be another mystery? Thinking of it.
My previous experiences made me feel nervous all over. Only then did I remember that if the wealthy merchants who left were a pack of hungry wolves, this one was definitely a tiger that roared proudly in the mountains and forests. Seeing the Marquis looking at me, he quickly lowered his head and bowed his waist.
Dare not speak.
"The gold and silver are filed, and the sold land is marked one by one. Seventy percent of the gold and silver goes to the public account, and another third goes to the governor's office, waiting for compensation to those people." Yun Ye took the kettle from Liu Jinbao's hand and rinsed his mouth.
The smell of alcohol is about to leave.
"Master Marquis, why do you think 70 percent goes to the public account and 30 percent goes to the state capital? Isn't it a little less? Your subordinates already know that you have no intention of giving them the land, but you are blatantly violating the laws of the country and every favor can be justified."
Qian Sheng of Hancheng knew that Yun Ye would never do this, but he couldn't figure out how the governor could swallow the gold and silver in public, so he could only hope that the superior officer would explain.
"Don't worry about it. The price of land in the new city is going to plummet again. City construction is suspended. All hands are on reclaiming wasteland. Tell these refugees that whoever reclaims the wasteland will own it. As long as they register with the government, they will be tax-free for three years.
, this is a gap opened by the imperial court to the refugees, the refugees in Guanzhong are like this, and the refugees in Yuezhou should be like this too."
Hancheng Qian Sheng looked at each other, but he couldn't ask questions. He could only follow Yun Ye's instructions. Now that the foundation has been completed, what is left is of course to start leveling the land for survival. This has been discussed a long time ago. Hou
Why do you want to bring up old things again?
Back at the Governor's Mansion, Li Chengqian was still awake and looked at Yun Ye expectantly, wondering how much gold and silver he could blackmail these wealthy households this time.
Yun Ye stretched out four fingers and then took out cold water from the well to wash his face. Li Chengqian forced himself to hold it in, but the little tongue in his silently opened mouth trembled violently.
Seeing that Yun Ye had finished washing, he diligently handed the teapot to Yun Ye and whispered: "Now that you have the money, what are you going to do with it? If we embezzle it for nothing, they may not agree. It will be very troublesome and you won't be able to handle it."
live."
"A war is about to break out in Yuezhou. Fifty thousand water thieves, known as one hundred thousand, stormed into Yuezhou City in a mighty manner. Major General Yun Ye's army was weak, so he could only retreat to let the thieves pass in order to gain momentum.
.”
"Do you need to play such a big game? For 400,000 silver coins, it is not worth it to make the people miserable. Although the leader of the water thieves is your adviser and the thieves under him are my father's spies, once the thieves enter Yuezhou City,
It will lose control, and people will burn, kill, and loot everywhere, and the losses will be too great."
"Tell me, I want to demolish Yuezhou and merge it into the new city. How to demolish it? The people there are unwilling to leave. You want me to order my subordinates to go door-to-door with horse sticks to threaten demolition? There will always be people who are unwilling to do so.
People who left their homes had the courage to fight against the government, because the government wanted to be reasonable and could not do anything to them, but they did not have the courage to fight against the water thieves, because the water thieves were unreasonable and would rob them of their money, wives and daughters.
, and would also rip off their heads and kick them with balls.
So, this is the quickest way. I defended the city in Yuezhou until I could no longer hold it, so I retreated. Before that, I would fortify the walls and clear the country, fight a fierce battle with the thieves in Yuezhou, and completely destroy Yuezhou.
Then no one will disagree with the annexation of Yuezhou to the new city, and the people will be grateful for the government's actions, and the people's support will be used."
"Is it just for demolition? It's better if we reason with them and explain the compensation clearly. The people of the Tang Dynasty are simple and kind, and they will definitely understand the difficulties of the court."
"Forget it, your father is not even willing to kill death row prisoners, let alone these common people. The people of the Tang Dynasty still have a tough side. I don't want to face it, so it's easier to do this. Besides, the water thieves are not guilty, how can we let them go?
Are they working as coolies? All good people have to farm, grow vegetables, raise chickens, pigs, and sheep to make reserves for the future of the new city. Who will do the hard work? There are only water thieves. I estimate that in the end we will catch 30,000 to 40,000 strong men.
Labor, with them, our new city can be built in the shortest time. Only the strong people will go back to work as water thieves. In the same way, they are also the best coolies. Working under the whip, they will definitely work very hard.
It won't be long before I return to Chang'an to continue teaching. Who has the time to stay by this puddle full of mosquitoes?"
He just drank too much at the banquet, and his clothes were covered with vomit. He felt uncomfortable. Yun Ye took off his outer robe and asked his cook to bring two bowls of whistle noodles. Li Chengqian must not have eaten either. His whole family was like this.
Yun Ye always wanted to win people's hearts anytime and anywhere, as if waiting to eat together would make others grateful. Yun Ye hated this. As expected, Li Chengqian didn't have dinner. He was still not full from a large bowl of whistle noodles, so he shouted for another bowl.
