Chapter 200: Spring in Luoyang

The loss of Kaifeng sounded the death knell of the Ming Dynasty.

The long fourteen years of Chongzhen have passed, however, the fifteen years of the new Chongzhen have not shown any signs of improvement.

If the fourteenth year of Chongzhen is the fourteenth layer of hell, then the fifteenth year of Chongzhen is the fifteenth layer of hell.

The thieves in the land of the Ming Dynasty have not decreased, but there have been countless thieves, mountain thieves, horse thieves, and robbers......

The most disappointing thing is that there has been a wave of local officials spontaneously welcoming and defecting to Li Hongji on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and this trend has also benefited Zhang Bingzhong, which has allowed Ai Nengqi and Yang Wenxiu to enter Jiangxi in a short period of time.

Li Hongji sent a messenger to talk to Yun Zhao about the ownership of Luoyang City, because the person who came was a nobody, which made Yun Zhao think that this was a clear proof that Li Hongji looked down on him, so he killed the messenger.

Yun Zhao's reputation for liking to kill messengers has spread all over the world.

Therefore, no one told Yun Zhao what nonsense that "the two armies will fight without killing".

Killing the envoy is tantamount to telling Li Hongji that there is no need to talk about the Luoyang issue.

Niu Jinxing speculated that Yun Zhao was extremely dissatisfied with Li Hongji at this time through the incident of Yun Zhao's killing of the messenger.

Luoyang is not guaranteed, can Kaifeng be saved? Could it be that Henan can keep it?

As a result, Li Hongji decisively gave up his plan to attack Ying Tianfu and turned the spearhead to Liu Zeqing.

After Liu Zeqing heard that Chen Yongfu and Ding Qirui had died in Heze Mansion, he was so frightened that he hurriedly joined forces with the newly rising general Huang Degong, preparing to block Li Hongji's army from entering Shandong.

Yun Zhao said in his book that there were no thieves in Luoyang, and the court could send officials to govern, but the court was very silent, and when Yun Zhao lost patience, the court enabled Zhu Cunji, who was deposed as the prince, and ordered him to temporarily act as the prefect of Luoyang.

When Zhu Cunji received this will, he was so frightened that he found Yun Zhao overnight and wanted to commit suicide.

"Emperor, this is me killing me......" Zhu Cunji cried extremely miserably.

"It's good."

Yun Zhao replied lightly.

Fortunately, Zhu Cunji knew that Yun Zhao was not a person who liked to talk back, so he was relieved.

In front of Zhu Cunji, Yun Zhao found the secretary and the head of the chief secretary of administration, and ordered them to prepare a powerful working group for Zhu Cunji, stationed in Luoyang, and everything was based on Zhu Cunji's opinion.

At the same time, Yun Shu, the deputy general of Yun Yang, led 10,000 soldiers and horses into Luoyang.

As a result, the boundary monument of Lantian County appeared for the first time in the east of Luoyang.

Zhu Cunji, the new prefect of Luoyang, quickly entered Luoyang City and announced that Luoyang would be under the rule of Lantian.

As soon as the news spread, the big and small thieves in Luoyang packed up and fled overnight.

It's a pity that they got the news too late.

As early as when Zhu Cunji had not yet arrived in Luoyang, the black-clothed people in Lantian County, the Secret Spy Division, and the Supervision Department had already locked them up, and after Zhu Cunji announced the ownership of Luoyang, these big and small thieves were arrested one after another.

Under careful arrangement, no one escaped.

Outside Luoyang City, the grass is green, the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crying for thousands of miles.

These thieves who were captured alive had to wear chains and clean up Luoyang City and the surrounding bones, and in the process, they could only feed on the herds of wild dogs around Luoyang.

In February, spring sowing is coming, and black smoke is billowing on the land of Luoyang, and farmers are burning everywhere.

Luoyang is finally settled and can grow food.

Perhaps God has mercy on the people here, and when the apricot blossoms have not yet bloomed, a spring rain falls on this barren land, and in the evening, the light rain turns into goose feather snow.

The snowflakes melted when they fell on the land, and as the snow became heavier and heavier, the blizzard covered all the sorrows of Luoyang.

Luoyang, which has long been sparsely populated, somehow, many people have emerged from all directions, especially Bishan, and there are more than 100,000 people who have come out of this mountain.

Zhu Cunji looked at the dense crowd outside the city and asked Yang Xiong, the mayor of Luoyang: "It can't be a rogue, right?" ”

Yang Xiong, who had just returned from Hanzhong to preside over the overall situation of Luoyang, said: "It's just a homeless person. ”

"What to do?"

Yang Xiong said with a smile: "I have been prepared for a long time, open the city gate, let them in, the weather is cold, they always have to find a warm place to spend the night." ”

"What if they're restless?"

"If you have food, you will settle down."

"Oh, I brought a lot of food."

"Lend it to the people!"

"Borrow?"

"Yes, lend it to them and pay it off in three years."

"What are they going to pay back?"

"We will divide the land for them to cultivate."

"Oh, but they don't have anything, what are they going to do?"

"Farm tools are being transported, ploughing cattle, mules and horses are also on the way."

"These things are also lent to the people?"

"No, it's rental! These homeless people were gathered into one li for every 100 households, and farm tools, livestock, seeds, money and grain were all rented to the lichang, who distributed them uniformly and led the 100 households to cultivate the land.

A certain amount of interest is paid every year, until the income from their labor exceeds the value of these things, and these things will belong to the hundred households, and eventually, according to the output of each household's labor, the ploughing cattle and farm tools will be converted into the people.

Rest assured, in less than three years, it will be back to life. ”

Zhu Cunji finally experienced a complete land reform in Lantian County, because, from now on, except for some people who have not left Luoyang to guard their own land, the rest of the land has become the land of Lantian County.

After Lantian County gets these lands, it will distribute the land according to the recompiled roster, no matter who owned the land here before, at this moment, almost all the land belongs to the government.

Those who have insufficient acres of land will be replenished for their land, and those with more acres will either flee or be killed by the rogue.

Therefore, every homeless family who was allocated land regarded these lands as their life, and at this time, even if a thief came, they could risk their lives to fight.

Not fighting before, there is no reason to fight.

Now, Lao Tzu has four acres of land!

The document was held in his arms, and there was Lao Tzu's handprint on it.

The distribution of land proceeded very quickly, and the manpower transferred from Lantian was not only busy with his feet touching the ground, but also those borrowed from Michi, who were also busy day and night.

These people are very familiar with the distribution of land, and they are very rough in their work, and when they encounter disputes, they are mainly drawn by lot, and once they are unlucky, they become eternal and cannot be changed.

On the other hand, it is also a relatively fair measure, which has resolved countless disputes.

When the first ploughing cow appeared in the field, the apricot blossoms finally bloomed.

The apricot blossoms are blooming, and there are fewer scholars and ladies holding umbrellas in Luoyang Mo, but countless merchants have come.

The prosperity of Lantian business has reached the point where it cannot be expanded, and this time Luoyang has it in its hands, and these businessmen are far more excited than Yun Zhao, the owner of Lantian.

However, Luoyang City was still empty at this time......

The shops and houses in the city, although they were ruined by the rogues, but even if they were ruins, there were merchants who carried boxes of silver dollars and began to buy, not only Lantian merchants came, but even salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and some people put heavy bets on Luoyang.

In the dilapidated White Horse Temple, I don't know when a few kind old monks appeared, they happily cleaned up the deserted temple, and delivered their degrees to the government with great expectations, declaring that they were the fugitive White Horse Temple monks.

A large number of Taoist temples and nunnery in Luoyang also have their own escaped Taoist priests, and when the nuns return, they expect Luoyang to flourish again, so that the incense in their temples will also flourish.

At the same time, Yushan Academy also sent people to inspect the Fuwang Mansion, which they thought was very suitable for serving as a school...... Even Mingyue Lou sent people to find a good place to open a new store.

In short, those of the government belong to the government, those of the army belong to the army, those of the academy belong to the academy, those of the monks belong to the monks, and the Taoists return to the Taoists......

Just one month later, all the seeds have been planted in the land, the willows have pulled out new shoots, the people are busy in the fields, the businessmen are running around the city, and the officials are busy working in several counties around Luoyang.

The first wisp of black smoke rising from Luoyang was from a brick kiln.

A group of far-sighted and pioneering potters ventured to build a brick kiln near Luoyang before the city of Luoyang was part of Lantian County, and now their adventure has paid off enormously.

No matter how many bricks they produce, it won't be enough to fill the city's huge belly.

"I made more than a dozen small yards in Luoyang."

Qian Duoduo saw her husband smashing his eyes and recuperating his mind, so after saying a bunch of nonsense, he sandwiched this sentence and said it inside.

"Ten, or nineteen?"

"Well, thirty-seven."

"Do you live, or do I live?"

"It is reserved for you to reward the meritorious in the future."

"They don't need a reward, the law says what kind of merit is rewarded."

"Even if the courtiers don't need it, you always have a time to buy people's hearts, in case some arrogant people don't want to be officials, and you need him, then throwing out a set of courtyards can get a good effect."

"The real backbone of the people are either killed in battle or starved to death, and there are few who are alive with backbone."

"What if there is?"

"That's also the guy who came to beg me to give him an official position, this kind of person is not worth my buying, you be careful of the subordinates of the pig, they are auditing everywhere in Luoyang, and they fall into their hands, and there is no good fruit to eat."

Qian Duoduo sneered and said: "Every yard I bought was determined by the Justice Department to be ownerless, and when the money entered the Finance Department, the yard became mine." ”

Since Lantian County became organized, the most brutal corruption case has occurred in Luoyang, and for this reason, the old latent forces in Luoyang have almost been killed by Han Lingshan, the forerunner.

Therefore, Yun Zhao was not worried about what would be too much of a mess, because Han Lingshan went to Luoyang again.

After taking Luoyang, Yun Zhao can finally turn over, and he hopes that day will come as soon as possible.
