A few days later, all the banknotes were all in place. In this case, the harvest this time, a total of seven million taels of banknotes, was all in hand.
And in this era, there are actually germs of capitalism, such as the embryonic form of later-generation banks, and many of them are still operating very well, so the acceptance of these silver notes is absolutely no problem!
Then, it will be easier to do things if you have money. Now Yang Shanlu is the first to solve the problem of rewarding money.
After all, it has been more than a month since the end of the battle for aid. How many soldiers are craned their necks in anticipation... But now, with Yang Shanlu’s order, the original shortage of three million taels of silver has been rewarded quickly. Just post it.
In addition, Yang Shanlu took a different approach. Instead of going through the household department, he sent people directly, and then joined some of the foreigners sent by the military department, and directly sent these banknotes to each of the soldiers who participated in the war, and then they issued them. .
Although doing so, it is inevitable to be exploited a bit, but it is better than going through the Ministry of Households, then going to various provinces and cities, where there are divisions, so that they can be stripped off one by one.
So until the end, after the soldiers who participated in the war received the reward silver, everyone was happy... And this is also obvious. This can be said to be the least deduction of the reward silver they have received over the years. !
Generally speaking, if you give out thirty taels of silver (that is, the value of a tart's head), it's not bad to get twenty taels, and sometimes the deductions are ruthless, and only half of it is sent out! But this time, thirty taels of silver was rewarded, and they all got twenty-five taels, which was an unprecedented first time!
Then after the end of the silver rewards, the military's mind was stabilized, and what Yang Shanlu would do next was to start governing the four provinces, or that the most urgent task at this stage was to provide relief to the victims.
However, at this time there are still four million taels of silver notes. With so much money, and now Yang Shanlu has not left the capital, even Emperor Chongzhen is very enthusiastic about it, so several It's just like hesitating and stopping.
Of course, Yang Shanlu understands what he meant, but don’t think he still has four million taels of silver, but if it is really used to help the victims of the four provinces, it is not too much (the affected population has two to three hundred. Ten thousand), not to mention that he has a series of huge plans next, so the money is not too much.
In other words, even if he is the special envoy of the four provinces by then, he has huge power in his hand, but if he doesn't have the silver, he won't be able to play!
After talking to Chongzhen about this principle, he understood it. In fact, he was thinking that way. In this case, he also asked Yang Shanlu all to ask for good news from him soon.
In this case, Yang Shanlu was ready to take up his post because of the emergency situation, but he had one more thing to do when he left the capital.
That is to say, he has lived in the Yang Mansion these days, but in the past few days, the Yang Mansion is as lively as a bazaar. People come to visit in an endless stream, even his old father Yang Sichang is busy. Round and round.
As for the reason, it is very simple-these people are all here to seek officials.
That is to say, since the imperial court announced that Yang Shanlu has the power to appoint officials from the four provinces, that is, in addition to high-ranking officials such as the four provincial chiefs, other officials from the third rank, and even a series of officials below, what prefects? , Prefects, prefects, etc., Yang Shanlu all have the right to appoint! Decided in one word!
So with this discovery, there are obviously more people making this idea!
Moreover, places like Henan and Shaanxi were very barren in the past, and there were gangsters and remnants in the local area. If they didn’t get it right, they would have to finish their lives. Therefore, officials were reluctant to go, and even this happened. It was obvious that a fellow Jinshi who was recently admitted to a major was finally shortlisted, but he knew that after he went to Henan to take office, he would rather resist the order than go.
But now? Knowing that Yang Shanlu is going to govern these provinces, and then knowing that with his ability, the local robbers must have been swept away, and there is even the possibility of governing into a model province like Shanxi, so this opportunity is still missed ? That's all fat...So now they are all rushing to seek officials, just like a crucian carp who crosses the river...
So in these days, Yang Sichang has been very busy. After all, he knows more people in the capital, including many allies, who recommend his disciples and children, relatives and friends are old, so only a few days ago, he came to ask for help. The number of officials has reached more than 100!
But after Yang Shanlu learned about it, he just smiled slightly... Do you really think that Brother is so determined to reform, just for your welfare
So in the face of this situation, two days before he left Beijing, he had prepared a list for his father, that is, the kind of honest and capable officials in his memory can have this opportunity. , As for those who want to follow to get promoted to make money and make money, I'm sorry, this is nowhere.
Then, with this list, Yang Sichang is easy to handle. There are even those who insist on officials because of their relationship. Yang Shanlu has a way. Do you want to be an official? Yes, it depends on whether you have this ability...
For example, Yang Shanlu would throw a question over. It takes 10 minutes to fill a pool with water and 15 minutes to drain the water. Then the meat is played, and the water is drained while filling it. How long does it take to fill the pool with water
Then, looking at these people's constipated expressions, some people even couldn't help but yell at them. This is a problem like this! Isn't this playing people? (Yangshan Lujiao is a topic in the ancient exercises)
Then looking at their expressions, Yang Shanlu felt very emotional... I think he was abused by this topic when he was in school, but now... it's his turn to abuse others! And objectively speaking, if you really can solve this problem, then you will have the basic qualities of being a chief of a place, otherwise, it will be a waste of it...
Then it became, it’s not that I didn’t raise my hand high, but that you were not up to the standard. This solved the matter perfectly, but among them, his father discussed one thing with Yang Shanlu, and it was still very What I look forward to... That is, his elder brother Yang Shansong also wants to be an official in a place to see if it can provide convenience.
Then, Yang Shanlu felt a little embarrassed about this... Honestly speaking, his eldest brother actually didn't have any talents, he was a mediocre person, and he was not famous in the original history.
It's just that since his father has brought it up, he still has a very ardent meaning, hoping to give him a boost.
In this case, Yang Shanlu wanted to bring out the scene of the brothers' discord, which was not very good, so he agreed. Anyway, when the time comes, he will be given a less important official position, and it will be fine, and just like this, Yang Shanlu I still had a heart-to-heart talk with his cheap elder brother, and warned him to be cautious after going out, and must not corrupt the reputation of the Yang family!
Yang Shansong was also very happy to hear that. To be honest, he, the eldest son of the Yang Mansion, was also awkward enough. He was very jealous of the rise of Yang Shanlu's alien army before, but now the gap between the two of them is getting bigger and bigger. The jealous thoughts are gone, but recently they have started to flatter!
Therefore, the result like this is still very good to him... Because he is mediocre, even in the Ministry of War, he can't rise up, and it is not as good as the following, maybe there will be a turn for the better!
(This abacus is still very good, there is an old man covering me in the Ministry of War, and my brother covering me when I get to the place!)
It is Yang Shanlu himself who has his own plan for governing the four provinces this time, that is, based on the memory of his previous life, and after the approval of Emperor Chongzhen, he has mobilized a large number of relatively clean officials, and most of them are It is mainly the Donglin Party, plus some more famous officials in his memory-such as Du Yinxi.
The reason for doing this is because Yang Shanlu still knows very well that the people he brought out from Yanghe Daodong Road to govern the four provinces this time are still far from enough, so there is still a need for a large number of capable people. Honest officials assisted.
Of course, it’s not the best choice for the main body to be Donglin Party members, but there is no way now-Daming is at a time of slow change at this time, and the talents available are limited, so he can only use it first. Although Lin Dang people are generally more pedantic and old-fashioned, in terms of personal ethics, they are still relatively better.
Then the problem of money was solved, and the problem of talents was prepared. Three days later, Yang Shanlu started to take up his post... And he is the special envoy of the four provinces this time, hunting on behalf of the sky, but eventually he will be based in Henan Luoyang, preside over the governance battle of the four provinces!
The reason for this is that Luoyang, Henan, which is almost the center of the four provinces, will be more convenient to command at that time.
In March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Shanlu led a brigade... 3,000 Xuanjia army, plus 1,500 officials (of which 1,000 were newly graduated students from the academy, and 500 were old officials who used to run Shanxi Members, these people have had more than a year of grassroots practice and already have quite mature experience), the Foreign University approved grain and rice, and officially arrived in Luoyang, Henan.
But when he arrived, he found that the disaster was more serious than he thought... Basically, the fields were cracked along the way, the red land was thousands of miles away, and the victims on the official road were endless, and there was no trace of green along the way, because there were even tree leaves. All were eaten up by the victims.
And the seriousness of the disaster has directly caused two consequences. First, the price of rice is so expensive! Eight taels of silver at one stone, or even ten taels of silver are not uncommon! In the past, there were only three to four taels of silver and one stone. As a result, the people's ability to earn a living was further weakened.
Second, human lives are as cheap as paper! In this kind of year, two chickens can exchange for a seven or eight-year-old child! Sometimes, it can even be given away for free! And among them, what is hidden is full of blood and tears... Because if you don't do this, do you still stay by your side waiting to starve to death? With all the dead bones along the way, would you mind having more corpses
And watching such a miserable scene, Yang Shanlu almost shed tears, preferring to be a peace dog, not a troubled world! However, this also strengthened his determination to govern the four provinces!
However, as the so-called class oppression is everywhere, it is as if the victims are so miserable. Even the places outside Luoyang city can be seen, there are a large number of victims!
But after he arrived at Luoyang City Gate, in the short time he was waiting to be greeted, he saw several teams of people wearing brocade clothes and riding tall horses, and some even gnawing roast chickens in their mouths, so that they whizzed out of the city. of.
Moreover, these people looked like domestic slaves, but even so, the officers and soldiers guarding the city at the gate did not dare to embarrass them, and even some of the domestic slaves with profound backgrounds would even bend down to flatter them when they left the city!
Now I am basically using \Mic\Mic\Reading\app\\.
So looking at such a strong contrast, Yang Shanlu couldn't help but think of a poem... Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, there are frozen bones on the road! It's not even hard to imagine, what should the master be like if the trivial domestic slaves are so moisturized
However, looking at such a scene, Yang Shanlu strengthened his determination! The determination to govern the four provinces-the corrupt officials in Henan! And the corrupt officials in the four provinces of the Central Plains, here I am! (End of this chapter)
