Three days later, after bidding farewell to the princess, everything was ready, Yang Shanlu took his brothers, and the 500 Profound Armies, and went to Tiancheng City to take office.
Zhenkoubao is not very far from Tiancheng City. After half an hour, the group came to the gate of Tiancheng City.
Looking at this majestic city, even if it’s not the first time I saw it, Yang Shanlu still felt shocked in his heart... Tiancheng City, the city wall is 9 li long, 3 feet 9 feet high, and the top area of Shangzhenkou Fort is at least two Ten!
Tiancheng City was built with bricks during the Hongwu period, and rebuilt during the Wanli period. In the entire town of Luwei, it is a veritable first city! Even in the entire Yanghe Road East Road, they are among the best!
But now, looking at this majestic city, Yang Shanlu is full of emotion... Last time he came here as a spectator, but this time, he is about to become the master of this majestic city.
Yang Shanlu entered from the Ying'en Gate in the south, and at the gate of the city, many officials from the town guards came to greet him.
Compared with the last time, the scene this time is more solemn. All the important officials have arrived. That is a piece of black.
"I have seen Master Defender." After seeing Yang Shanlu coming, these officials, led by Wei Commander Tongzhi, bowed and saluted together.
"Everyone, please." Yang Shanlu's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear any emotions. Then he let everyone lead the way to the guard hall where the guards were located.
On the road, many civilians and military households can be seen coming in and out from time to time. You must know that Tiancheng City is a big city with nearly 10,000 civilian households and thousands of military households.
But now, despite the large population in the city, whether it is civilian households or military households, looking at the shabby clothes on their bodies and the dishes on their faces, it is obvious that their living standards are significantly worse than Zhenkoubao. As for Yang Xiaoqiangbao, which Shanlu has been in business for a long time, is even more incomparable.
And seeing Yang Shanlu look carefully, many health officials are worried. Yang Shanlu is well-known for managing localities, but he is even more famous for punishing corrupt officials.
But Yang Shanlu, still expressionless, is now observing as the master, governance is necessary, but it can be said in the next step.
After arriving all the way to the garrison hall, the former town captive commander Ding Guangzu had already been waiting for him.
Ding Guangzu was originally the Shangguan of Yangshan Lu Shangguan, but now... After seeing Yang Shanlu's arrival, he greeted him with a quick walk, and said with enthusiasm: "Master Yang is here, please hurry up!"
This time, Ding Guangzu made a great deed and was transferred to Yanghecheng to serve as the commander of the guard. If he makes a little contribution later, he can be promoted to the first level, so now the two are at the same level. This is the name of Master Yang. There is no sense of violation.
After the two people met each other, Ding Guangzu couldn't wait to say: "Master Yang, should we talk first?"
Ding Guangzu only needs to go through the handover procedures with Yang Shanlu before he can go to Yanghe City, so he is very eager to deal with some remaining problems, of course it is the only one.
"Yes." Yang Shanlu nodded. In fact, he also wants to deal with this remaining problem as soon as possible. Of course, the scale must be grasped.
So next, let the health officials wait outside, and the two went into a secret room alone.
And what they want to talk about is actually a farming issue.
As far as Daming is concerned, it is normal for the military officers to invade and occupy the farmland, while those who do not invade and occupy the farmland are abnormal.
So now Ding Guangzu is the same, occupying nearly 10,000 acres of farmland in Zhenluwei, but now, since we are leaving Zhenluwei, of course we have to talk about it.
But Ding Guangzu has already done this understanding, so he came up straight to the point: "Master Yang, let's not go around, look at the farms under my name, how about you deal with them according to the method of Zhenkoubao in the first place?"
The so-called Zhenkoubao method was that Yang Shanlu compensated them at the price of one acre of farmland and a tael of silver. After Ding Guangzu studied it, he felt that this was acceptable.
But now he is worried. After all, today is different. At the beginning, Yang Shanlu was just a small defensive officer with weak power, so he was willing to buy it at this price.
But now, Yang Sichang, the father behind him, is a thick golden thigh that can't be thicker! So Ding Guangzu was very worried. Can Yang Shanlu now agree to it as before
But to his surprise, Yang Shanlu agreed very readily: "No problem! No problem at all! Just follow this!"
"Good! Great!" Ding Guangzu was overjoyed.
"But after you receive the money, you need to sign a receipt."
"what?"
When Ding Guangzu heard the front, he was very happy. The ten thousand taels of silver was obtained, but after hearing the back, he was bitter: "Master Yang, what is this receipt for?"
"It's very simple—" Yang Shanlu smiled at him: "After you sign this receipt, I will take it to the Ministry of War when I have time, and let them see if this receipt is legal."
"what!"
Ding Guangzu shuddered suddenly! Isn't this just playing with him! After all, the occupation of farmland is just an unspoken rule of officialdom, but if it is really put on the table, it will definitely not work!
Well, Ding Guangzu finally knows about Yang Shanlu, knowing that he is not a bully, that is, tolerant, so he pleaded: "Brother Shanlu, you have to make a charter! As long as you say It’s right, brother, I agree!"
"Row."
Yang Shanlu just smiled slightly, and then said: "Actually, it is very simple. I will pay a quarter of the price to get these farms."
"what!"
Ding Guangzu sucked the air-conditioning embarrassedly... Only a quarter of the price? This bargain is too cruel!
"Master Yang, this amount of money is really too little. You should raise your hands high and give more." Ding Guangzu pleaded again.
"Do you want it! I won't give it if you don't want it!"
Yang Shanlu didn't give him room for bargaining at all! If he deserves the money, Yang Shanlu will not deduct a penny! But now, it is just invading the interests of the imperial court and the interests of the military households of the guards. In this way, it hurts the public and the private. How could Yang Shanlu condone him
Well, seeing Yang Shanlu's resolute attitude, Ding Guangzu could only sigh... Now he has no room to bargain with Yang Shanlu, he can only pinch his nose and agree.
After this was settled, Yang Shanlu said to him: "We have negotiated, but then you have to cooperate with me."
Then the two walked out of the secret room together, and at this time, many officials in Tianchengcheng were anxiously waiting for the outcome of their negotiations.
After all, almost every one of these people present invaded the farmland, but only in number. After all, in the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, it was a species that was more cherished than the giant panda.
So now that the two of them have finished talking, they are all very nervously waiting for news.
When Yang Shanlu saw this, he smiled slightly and gave Ding Guangzu a look.
This Ding Guangzu is not good at fighting, he can still observe his words and colors. When he saw it, he quickly said to the people: "Hehe, don't worry, I have already discussed with Master Yang. Master Yang is still very generous. He is willing to compensate us two dollars and five dollars per acre of land. Cents."
"what!"
This time the crowd suddenly fry the pan! Many of them had already inquired about it, so they asked in surprise, "Isn't it one or two silver and an acre! Why is it so much less?"
"Haha, I feel pretty good, otherwise, if Master Yang writes an official document, let the military election of the Ministry of War and Qing officials send someone to come..." Ding Guangzu stopped here, I believe these people can understand.
As for him, he has already talked with Yang Shanlu anyway, and there is no need to say anything that makes Yang Shanlu uncomfortable.
Seeing his cooperation, Yang Shanlu generously gave the money on the spot, and the two handed over the seal of Guan Fang. After these procedures were completed, Yang Shanlu officially became the master of Tiancheng City... the newly released commander of Wei Make! And serve as the defense of Tiancheng City.
"I have seen Master Defender—" After the handover, these officials saluted again, which was regarded as formally acknowledging Yang Shanlu's status.
It's just that compared with the time when Yang Shanlu was greeted at the gate of the city just now, all of these officials had expressions of trepidation. Obviously, the most fundamental problem had not been resolved.
Then Yang Shanlu looked at these people, and felt that if they didn't solve it, these people would have no intention of doing things, so it's better to solve them.
Yang Shanlu waved his hand and signaled them to be quiet. Yang Shanlu said: "Everyone, since everyone is very concerned about the problem of farming, then I will settle this matter today, pass the order, and transfer all the flags in the city All the above-mentioned officers, including the rank-and-file officials, call me over and solve this problem on the spot!"
"This, I am afraid that some people may not be able to arrive..." One of the commanders said cautiously.
"It's okay. Those who can't get there will default to him not wanting the money." Yang Shanlu said indifferently. You have left your job without authorization, so I won't even give you this compensation.
"Ah! Then I'll call! Then I'll call!"
Seeing that Yang Shanlu's attitude was so tough, the commander was also frightened, and immediately sent someone to notify him. Even if he was rolling the sheets in the kiln at the moment, he would have to find it...
Of course, this is only limited to the officers in Tiancheng City. As for the military fortresses outside Tiancheng City, such as the five thousand households under Zhenliwei, and hundreds of other fortresses, they are not within this range. .
But it doesn't matter, as long as the Tianchengcheng affairs are handled well, the following follow-up will be fine, so Yang Shanlu is very confident to solve this matter! (End of this chapter)
