Chapter 121: start to act!

Views:

So in the next few days, Yang Shanlu started to act intensively.

He first went to meet with Li Yan, who had already taken root in the capital, and then gave a face-to-face instruction to explain how to build momentum in the newspaper.

So in the next few days, the original Da Ming bulletin was issued once every 3 days, but it was changed to once every 2 days, and every time it used most of the space to introduce the situation of Qiongzhou Island.

In the description of the Daming Bulletin, there is simply a holy land on earth! A paradise! Where you can make money in the past!

And this is not just empty flattery, but there are detailed data. For example, there are three crops a year, and the land yield per mu can reach at least one stone and a half! And there are very few droughts and locust plagues...

In other words, it is very cost-effective to transport the victims there to cultivate.

In this way, after half a month of continuous building momentum, the Daming Bulletin published another heavy news, that is, Mr. Yang Sichang, the minister of war, took the lead in eating crabs and transporting victims to Qiongzhou Island on a large scale!

As a result, it caused quite a stir in the capital!

Because everyone knows that, not to mention the flower dew that was so red in the past, including the sweaters that Yang Shanlu recently tinkered with, are also selling well in the capital! Earn a lot of silver!

So because the Yang Mansion was the first to lead the trend, the wealthy people in the capital were all staring, hoping to have another good business, so that they could get in and get involved...

But now, Yang Jiaran has the idea of Qiongzhou Island again? So do you want to keep up

You must know that the Ming Dynasty at this time was already polarized, starving to death, but the rich people were piled up with money in the cellar, and even because of the long storage time, even the hemp rope used to wear the copper money was rotten...

So after discovering that the Yang Mansion had begun to transport hungry people, there were definitely a lot of people who were moved... But, after all, it is a new thing, and most of them are still waiting for the time being...

But then, a piece of news published in the Daming Bulletin completely ignited the enthusiasm of these rich people...

That is, the Yang Mansion issued a statement on it that the Yang family will build a fertilizer production base on Qiongzhou Island in the future. Anyone who transports hungry people to Qiongzhou Island and reclaims the land will be eligible to purchase fertilizer.

So in this way, these rich people can no longer sit still... Because this is also obvious. With the continuous publicity of the Daming Bulletin, the name of Feitianfen has become a household name throughout Beijing, knowing that it has miraculous effects on increasing grain production...

However, the past situation was that because the output of feitian powder could not keep up with the demand, such good things were only supplied to the political allies of the Yang family, and others would not think about it...

But now? Yang Jiaran let go of this hole? What are you waiting for

So in this way, the major merchants have organized transportation forces to participate in transporting the hungry... And this is exactly what Yang Shanlu hopes to see... Only by mobilizing more forces can we do it more quickly. Advance...

Of course, not everyone is tempted. For example, those who are cautious are still holding a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, this is also very obvious. Although Yang Mansion has taken the lead, it is still a voluntary act of the private sector. But if it becomes bigger, the Donglin Party members will come forward to oppose it, then what should be done? Great God Fighting Technique, let's common people, let’s take a look next to it...

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Sichang saw that the time was ripe, and wrote a memorial of flowers and flowers by himself, suggesting that the imperial court should come forward to do this, and hand it in at the morning of the next day.

What made many people stupefied was that after the memorial was submitted, not only Chongzhen agreed on the spot, but even those Donglin Party members who had always liked to sing opposing stage dramas with Yang Sichang rarely remained silent, and the memorial was passed on the spot.

So needless to say, after Chongzhen's instructions on the spot, the imperial court officially took the lead in organizing the transportation of hungry people. Now those who were watching also dispelled their worries... A route to Qiongzhou Island to transport hungry people was completely formed.

Three days later, seeing that things were going well, Yang Shanlu returned to Zhenluwei.

Including his mother Sun, did not live in the Yang Mansion, but returned together.

Because this is also very obvious, Yang Sichang is willing to admit her identity, and the Sun family is already satisfied. As for the usual residence, he must be comfortable in Zhenluwei, so that he can stay in the Yang Mansion with ease and fight with that poisonous woman all day long. of.

After returning to Zhenluwei, Yang Shanlu discovered that during his absence, the entire health post was still functioning in an orderly manner.

This made him very gratified. It seemed that his hard work a while ago was not in vain. The entire town guard team has been set up, and it is running very healthy.

In this case, Yang Shanlu began to make up the last shortcoming in transporting the victims... He immediately wrote a letter to the prefect of Qiongzhou, Li Jingbai.

In the letter, he stated in detail about this matter, that is, at least 100,000 refugees will be transported to Qiongzhou Island so that he can do the resettlement work.

Because the current Li Jingbai has completely taken refuge in their Yang family, Yang Shanlu also wrote very naked/naked in the letter. He just told him clearly that this matter has been heard, even The emperor is very concerned, so we must get things done!

And Yang Shanlu gave him a promise that as long as this matter is done well, he will be transferred back to the Central Plains in 3 years. You can choose any place, so just do it!

After sending this letter out, Yang Shanlu was still very happy. In fact, looking at it from another perspective, Zhenluwei can now absorb nearly a hundred refugees every day, and is also diverting local pressure...

And Qiongzhou Island is not the case, it's just that a place is small, and a place is hundreds of times larger...

But in the end, it is necessary to adopt such a measure to change the entire Central Plains situation, and then affect the entire Ming Dynasty!

Guide Mansion (Shangqiu), Henan, can be said to be the most severely affected place in the entire Central Plains.

Looking around, there is almost no green color on the earth. Because it hasn't rained for several months, not to mention that crops cannot grow in the fields, even those big trees don’t have much green left... because the leaves of the trees are all. Eaten up!

As for the sparsely grounded villages, they are all lifeless.

Some of the remaining population in it are old people and children, because the powerful young people either flee or go as gangsters, and the remaining old and weak can only wait to die.

But at this time, I heard someone at the entrance of the village knocking on the gong... Generally speaking, this is when the government has something to notify, and then two government officials in the county pushed open one of the houses. .

In this house, there is only a 50-year-old man and an eighty-nine-year-old girl, but although both of them are still out of breath, they are lying quietly on the ground to reduce physical energy consumption. .

Insert a sentence, really good, it is worth installing, after all, there are many books, complete books, and fast updates!

But even so, the autumn wind is bleak, and the chill is bitterly cold, and they won't live long depending on the appearance of the two.

Then the old man saw the two government officials coming in, and he opened his godless eyes and said, "Master officials, are you here to collect food taxes?"

After all, every time they receive food and payment, these government officials will come down together, and they will be tortured if they can't receive it, so they have already known each other.

It's just now, this old man doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, he has been owed the government's food and payment for two years in successive years of disasters, and with his current situation, it would be useless to kill him.

Unexpectedly, after these two government officials heard this, they waved their hands and said: "President Wang, we are not here to call for payment this time, and what else can you pay just like you? We are here this time. Tell you a great thing!"

Unexpectedly, this old man didn't even move his body after listening to it... He was completely indifferent. Is there any good thing for the government to come to them? He absolutely doesn't believe this!

The two government officials saw him showing no response. One of them was annoyed and wanted to scold his mother, but then thought of the severe order to go up the peak, so he could only endure it.

Continue to patiently explain: "Pharaoh's head, this time it is true. The lords above see that you can't survive, and pity you, so I have to spend money to send you to Penglai Fairy Island!"

"What? Penglai Fairy Island?" Perhaps the two yamen's statements are relatively new. The old man just raised his head slightly, showing an expression of interest.

When these two government officials saw this, they continued to flicker: "That's right, it is Penglai Xiandao! I heard that compared with the place where birds do not shit, it is really a fairyland...

Wearing single clothes there will not be cold in winter, and the fragrance of melons and fruits in summer, and most importantly, it can be harvested three times a year! So as long as you are willing to go there, you can live a good life! "

In fact, these two bureaucrats didn't understand this at all, but the above taught them to say that, just say that. "Really?" The old man showed a look of surprise. It stands to reason that this doesn't seem to be true. You must know that even one harvest of one year does not work here, but when you get there, you can harvest three crops a year? It's too unbelievable...

But if it's not true, these two officials would not be guilty of spending so much effort to fool him. After all, what's the point of deceiving him for someone like him who is about to die...

And these two government officials continued to follow the process and said: "My folks in the village don't lie to you, and now the head of the village is doing porridge, and it will take three days to do it... After all, you can only go on the road if you have a good body. Isn't it?"

"Have porridge to drink?"

At this time, Lao Wang was a little bit convinced. After all, all the time, only the government came to collect taxes, and did not spend money on porridge! And now that he is willing to come up with precious grains and rice, it should probably be true...

At this moment, the little girl heard that there was porridge to drink, and came over'live', saying: "Grandpa, I want to drink porridge!"

"Okay, let's go." The old man said hastily, but since there is such a good thing, he went on: "Two masters of tolerance, can we go to one more person in our house? My Nasaburo Jin I'll be back later."

Speaking of this, his voice is a little frustrated. After all, this is also very obvious. In this kind of year, his Saburo has not been starved to death, so he can only do business without capital.

But speaking of his son, he is still a little conscientious. Because he is concerned about them, he only wandered around and did not follow the big gangsters to run away... But now, since there is such a good thing, let's drink the porridge together.

As for the two government officials, they pretended not to understand, nodded and said, "Of course it's okay!" Anyway, according to the above explanation, that kind of youth is the most valuable.

In this case, the old man felt a little credible. After thinking about it, he simply cleaned up the house. Anyway, this family has four walls. It can be said that there is nothing but a thatched hut, so it is easy to clean up.

Then when he took his granddaughter and arrived at the east end of the village, he was surprised to find that two large iron pots were erected there, and he was cooking hot porridge!

Then there are some surviving villagers in the village, including some ragged strangers, who should be refugees who have fled from other places, all drinking porridge together.

Upon seeing this, the grandparents and grandchildren rushed up, and after each of them drank three bowls of porridge, they felt that they had some vitality again.

Then, at this time, there was a government servant who was knocking on the gong and talking loudly: "Attention, big guy! The county grandfather said that there will be porridge for these three days, and then we will go to Penglai Xiandao in 3 days ! By then you will be able to eat full every day!"

"Are you full?" After these villagers listened, their faces showed hope. For these victims, a full meal is the best hope.

And they don’t believe that these government officials will lie to them, after all, the fragrant rice porridge they are eating now is always true! And the tolerance is clearly stated. This is what the county grandfather said, so it should be true...

And the most important thing is that since staying here is just waiting to die, now it seems that there is a little hope, let's give it a try...

So in this way, in this originally dead village, there is finally something called hope.

At this time, not far from these victims, there was another team of people who were dressed very glamorously. One of them was wearing a seven-rank official uniform, and he was actually the local county grandfather!

But at this time, the county grandfather was nodding and bowing around a middle-aged man, looking at him with a charming smile on his face.

And this person, wearing a long gown that can only be worn by everyone, has sharp eyes. Although he has no official position, he has an aura of his own. This person is Yang Sichang's confidant Hu Yuanmou.

In order to ensure the completion of this immigration work, Yang Sichang made great efforts. He sent personal staff like Hu Yuanmou, as well as other available subordinates, to seven or eight to various regions.

After all, the grains and rice given to the victims now are all money from the 100,000 taels of silver, so it must be supervised in place, otherwise, I don’t know what will happen to the people below!

It's just that Hu Yuanmou at this time, looking at the victims who gathered here, frowned, "Although there are a lot of people gathered, there are very few young people! If this is an immigrant to Qiongzhou Island, taxes will be collected later It's harder."

At this time, the county magistrate had already smiled and said, "Don’t worry, your lord, these are just people who stayed behind, so they are all old and weak. There are hundreds of people, and there are many young people among them!"

"Oh, that's not bad." Hu Yuanmou just nodded, and if you are transporting to Qiongzhou Island, you need that kind of youth. Of course, it is best to bring your family with you, so that you can stabilize quickly after the past. Farming.

Three days later, the disaster victims here have gathered five to six hundred people, and after these three days of recuperation, the faces of these victims are somewhat bloody, so that some deaths can be reduced during the immigration process.

At this time, there was already a carriage transferred by the government, and these victims were stuffed in! Anyway, I don’t pay attention to the comfort of the ride now. If you can pull a few, you can pull a few!

Then after two days and two nights on the road, I came to the edge of the Yangtze River in Xuzhou.

And here, the navy of the imperial court is already on standby.

I have to say that it is convenient to have Shangshu of the Ministry of War to come forward to handle the affairs. About a dozen fortune ships of three to four feet in length are ready to be lighted.

Because this place is also very important, Yang Sichang’s confidant also sits here, and then these victims take a boat here until they reach the estuary of the Yangtze River, where they are replaced by a larger sea boat, and they continue to take nearly half of the boat. Only after a month can we reach Qiongzhou Island.

And such a scene was also staged in several state capitals in Henan and other places.

As the saying goes, I am afraid of being serious in everything, because this time Yang Sichang sent people to go down to the town in person, and the Donglin Party members rarely made trouble, so everything went smoothly.

Every day, nearly a thousand refugees are transported to Qiongzhou Island continuously. As a result, the situation in the entire Central Plains has undergone gratifying changes. The number of refugees as a factor of instability has gradually decreased, and the foundation of Li Zicheng's growth has also begun to gradually shrink...
