Since the Kong family decided to move their family to Qingzhou, there were countless things to deal with. It took more than ten days just to deal with the properties and properties that could not be carried. Therefore, Pang Gang stayed in Yangzhou for more than half a month, until
He only set out to return in mid-November, but this time he brought with him not one or two hundred people, but a huge team including 500 carts and nearly 700 people.
After half a month, their mighty group finally arrived at Wanghai Fort, Pang Gang's home base. Li Xian, Hua Yan, Meng Qing, Lin Feng, Zheng Mengcheng and others who had been staying at Wanghai Fort got the news and brought Wanghai Fort with them.
All the military households came out of the fort ten miles away to greet them.
Naturally, there was a lot of excitement when everyone met, but after seeing the people behind Pang Gang, they couldn't help but marvel. When Pang Gang introduced Kong Wen and his party to them, everyone was naturally surprised. They didn't expect Pang Gang to go.
After a trip to Yangzhou, I even brought my daughter-in-law back. It’s true that a capable person can do anything.
After entering Wanghai Castle, the Kong family father and son also expressed curiosity about this castle that belonged to their son-in-law and brother-in-law. Even Kong Ruolan, who was sitting in the carriage with her mother, secretly opened the curtains several times and peeked out.
In the future, I will marry here, and maybe I will live here for the rest of my life.
However, what makes Kong Ruolan happy is that although this camp is not as prosperous as Yangzhou and other big cities, although the clothes of the military households here are relatively shabby, their faces are full, and there is no impression that the military households can't survive.
The scene of going down. Seeing this scene, Kong Ruolan also had a deeper understanding of her future husband.
After entering the Hundred Household House in Tunpu, without Pang Gang's instructions, Hua Yan and others naturally and quickly settled the Kong family and his entourage. However, due to the limited area of the Hundred Household House, they could only move some of the Kong family's
Immediate family members were arranged to move in, but as for the servants, they could only be arranged to live in military families' homes.
That night, a big banquet was held in the 100 households of Wanghai Fort to welcome Pang Gang back. This time Pang Gang not only brought back thousands of stones of food, but also much-needed silver for Wanghai Fort. This also made everyone who had been waiting eagerly for more than a month
Until then, drink and cheer.
More than a dozen pots of blazing charcoal fires were raised in the hall of Baihusuo, baking the spacious hall warm into spring. People with the rank of general banner and above in Wanghai Fort attended the welcome banquet, and everyone took turns at the banquet.
He toasted to Pang Gang, and Pang Gang drank it to save his face.
Kong Wen, who was sitting aside, nodded secretly when he saw how enthusiastic everyone was. It seemed that his son-in-law had a high prestige in the castle.
After the banquet, Pang Gang summoned Hua Yan, Li Xian, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi and other confidants alone in his study, and asked them about the cement factory and mines. Hua Yanhui reported: "Let me tell you, after you go
During this time in Qingzhou, our cement plant and mine have been almost completed, and I estimate that trial production will begin by the end of this month."
"Yes!" Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction, "You have done a good job during my absence. I will make a note of it."
The two said in unison: "This is a matter of humble duty, and I dare not bother you with praise."
"Hey... I will be rewarded and punished when I deserve it. There is nothing to be modest about." Pang Gang waved his hand: "Let's put it down now. Now there is another more important matter to discuss with you."
"Sir, please speak!" Upon hearing this, everyone in Hua's face suddenly became solemn.
So Pang Gang told everyone in detail about the grudge he had with the former Minister of Rites and his son in Yangzhou. He even told everyone about his suspicion that Sun Zhili instigated the Yangzhou soldiers and horses to garrison Zhao Jie to steal the credit. Finally, he said: "Now I
The officer's situation is very unfavorable, do you guys have any good ideas?"
Everyone's expressions changed a little when they heard this. The Minister of Rites is one of the six ministers, a second-rank official! Compared with the Minister of Rites, they can only be regarded as small ants.
Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Pang Gang just looked at them indifferently without saying anything. He just carefully observed everyone's expressions. Among the people present, only Hua Yan sat aside and showed a faint smile.
Pang Gang's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Hua Dianli, just say what you have to say. You see, they are all frightened."
As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, everyone who was originally a little scared became a little embarrassed.
Hua Yan also smiled, raised his head and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry. Although Mr. Sun is the former Minister of Rites of the imperial court, he is just a predecessor. Although he has many connections in the imperial court, they are only limited to the capital.
Inside the city, he can't reach Qingzhou yet. I think the most important thing now is to hand over the heads of the Japanese pirates captured outside Yangzhou City to the commander Song, and ask him to take credit for us, so that we can have
Opportunity to win the title of Lingshan Health Center."
"coax........"
As soon as Hua Yan's words came out, everyone here became excited. If Pang Gang can really become the Qianhu of Lingshan Guard, then they, the old people who follow Pang Gang, will have the opportunity to move up a step further. Who doesn't like getting promoted and making a fortune?
.
"That's right!" Da Zhuang on the side slapped his thigh excitedly, "If our adults are promoted to a thousand households, we might also have the opportunity to raise a hundred households."
Pang Gang laughed and said: "Da Zhuang, don't think about good things. You must know that even a thousand households are not qualified to promote a hundred households under them. That is the power only the commander has." Pang Gang pondered for a moment after saying this.
Then he said: "But if I can be promoted to a thousand households, then our life will be much better in the future. We don't have to look at people's faces in this three-acre land of Lingshanwei."
"That's what your Excellency said!" Li Xian on the side also nodded and said: "Now the wasteland of Wanghai Fort has been reclaimed by us, but there are still refugees coming. If we refuse the participation of these refugees, it will affect our next development.
But it is very disadvantageous. If you can really be promoted to Qianhu, then we can make full use of the hundreds of miles of wasteland around the Lingshan Guardhouse."
Pang Gang glanced at Li Xian approvingly. This old man may not have much ability, but he still has a good vision. As long as there is enough wasteland, sufficient funds and food, Lingshanwei's wasteland can be fully developed.
Then Lingshan Guard alone is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.
"This matter must be decided as soon as possible!" Pang Gang stood up and said with pride: "The appointment of Qianhu at Lingshan Guard requires review by the Ministry of War or the emperor's approval before it can take effect. As long as we can capture Lingshan Guard, we will
Now we have a certain amount of capital. Without further ado, I will take people to Qingzhou Mansion tomorrow to meet with the Commander!"
Thank you Ling Changjin and Yijianpiao123 for the big rewards! Thank you everyone!
