Chapter 110 Yushan's bastard thing-

If you don't run, you can't run!

Zhang Jianliang didn't know Peng Yu, but he knew very well what came out of Yushan Academy.

It is said that the generation of students from Yushan Academy has not been as good as the generation over the years, but this sentence has been shouted by people for more than ten years, judging from his experience in dealing with the students of Yushan Academy in the past few years......

If you want to run, you must run!

Sure enough, after he ran out for dozens of steps, there was a sound behind him that looked like paper was torn, like cloth was torn apart, and it was a bit like the sound of a siege crossbow breaking through the air, and it was more like the movement of a cannonball tearing the air in the air.

A wave of air caught up from behind and lifted him into the air, and his horse fell to the ground with a wail.

Immediately after that, a wave of heat swept over his head, and Zhang Jianliang held down the war horse that was struggling to stand up, and only after the wave of air disappeared did he slowly and carefully look back.

It's strange that the tulou was not blown up, but all the cracks in this tulou were frantically spitting out tongues of fire.

Peng Yu was also looking back, he was also frightened, he didn't expect this thing to be so powerful.

Seeing that the fire was gradually extinguished, Zhang Jianliang was about to speak, but when he heard a bang, the tulou was blown apart, and countless dotted flames were lifted into the air by the air waves, and then they fell evenly within a radius of 100 steps.

The grass houses in Jiuquan County suddenly burst into flames.

Zhang Jianliang waved his knife to remove the falling flames, and found that the flames were actually stained on the steel knife and were still burning.

It was not a phosphorus bomb, which Zhang Jianliang could still distinguish, because there was no poisonous smell, let alone heavy yellow smoke.

Mars landed, still squeaking and burning, Zhang Jianliang looked up and saw that there was no Mars in the sky, so he gritted his teeth and Peng Yu: "What is this?" ”

Peng Yu said sluggishly: "I don't know, it was my cousin who was worried that I wouldn't be able to live here, so he secretly did it for me." Oh, my cousin works at the Academy of Martial Arts. ”

"How did you get this kind of militaristic heavy weapon?"

"It's an experimental product, I'm one of the experimenters, and I'm looking for an opportunity to see the actual combat effect."

As the two spoke, the grass houses around the tulou had all burned and were spreading rapidly.

"The house is on ......"

Those who were watching the excitement and were ready to pick up the bargain immediately went crazy.

Qiu Hai must have been burned to death, and Liu San probably couldn't survive, because there was no other living thing in the tulou except for a dog that was about to be roasted at the earliest.

"The flame of the initial killing of the enemy is swift, and it is completely cleansed in the secret room, no one escapes, only one dog escapes, however, the burns are serious, there is no hope of survival, the second burst has the effect of extinguishing the trace, the spark bursts, and there is the effect of igniting fire within 100 steps......"

Peng Yu took a charcoal pen and quickly recorded it in a notebook, and finally approached the detonation point to record the effects of the explosion in detail, as well as the lethality.

Zhang Jianliang looked at those who were crazy about fighting the fire in a daze, he couldn't help but pick up a wooden barrel, and after seeing the raging flames in front of him, he gave up fighting the fire with a long sigh.

Such a fire cannot be extinguished.

He grabbed Peng Yu's neck and said, "You have made so many people homeless." ”

Peng Yu looked at Zhang Jianliang with a smile and said, "Don't you want Jiayuguan to prosper?" ”

Zhang Jianliang roared angrily: "Prosperous Jiayuguan, you don't need to destroy Jiuquan County, right?" ”

Peng Yu said with a smile: "If you don't destroy Jiuquan County, how can Jiayuguan City, which is close at hand, prosper?" If Jiuquan County is not destroyed, what if the future railway passes through here instead of Jiayuguan City?

Jiayuguan City now has a population of less than 2,000, and with only such a small number of people, how can it prosper?

Only when there are people will they prosper, and if they burn down Jiuquan County, people here can move to Jiayuguan City to live, and Jiayuguan City can become a necessary place for the railway.

I have learned this at Yushan Academy, and I know that resources must be concentrated and not dispersed.

You don't understand this, I do! ”

Zhang Jianliang looked at those who gave up fighting the fire and wept and wiped their tears: "Do you have to do this?" ”

Peng Yu nodded and said: "The old ones that are inefficient will definitely be eliminated by the new ones and those with high efficiency, this is certain, rather than letting them be slowly abandoned in the future, it is better to simply abandon them now."

Start all over again. ”

Zhang Jian's conscience was in turmoil, and his conscience told him that he should behead Peng Yu on the spot, but there was a little hope in his heart, and he hoped that what Peng Yu said was right, maybe right.

He came to Jiuquan County today, only thinking about killing Qiu Hai and Liu San, so that the people here could live a peaceful life, and he definitely didn't think about completely destroying a good Jiuquan County Town.

Zhang Jianliang held the hilt of the knife and looked at Peng Yu and said, "Now, what should these people do?" ”

Peng Yu said indifferently: "Now is the time for you, the official magistrate, to go out and recruit all these people to Jiayu Pass City and exchange labor for food." ”

"Jiayuguan City can't feed these more than 3,000 people."

"The post station, the bank, can give out a part of the money, you can also use Jiayu Guancheng as collateral, borrow a sum of money from the bank, the longer the repayment period, the better, the lower the interest as much as possible.

As far as I know, the imperial court stipulated that the bank had the obligation to lend, and stipulated that the interest rate in the poor frontier of the northwest was very low, or even no interest, and the bank would definitely be able to pay the money.

If you have money, you can buy grain, and there is too much grain in Zhangye to eat, so you can just buy it.

Here we dig qanats, divert water, plant grapes, walnuts, jujubes, trees, and grass. ”

"The money in the bank always has to be repaid, and you know what a sin it is to not pay back the bank's money."

"It's Jiayu Guancheng who owes the bank money, it's about you and me, and if you can't pay the money, the bank will take Jiayu Guancheng, and the two of us can still continue to govern Jiayuguancheng.

It's just that you used to listen to the imperial court, and after you can't pay the money, you have to listen to the bank.

And whose banks belong to?

Not from the imperial court yet?

So, when you go to borrow money, you must borrow hard, borrow to death, borrow more than you can, I am worried that when you borrow again, most people will not borrow again. ”

Zhang Jianliang thought for a while, then took out his sheriff's bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Peng Yudao: "You can do it, it's done, our brothers eat and drink spicy food, if you can't do it, if the court can chase it down, our brothers will be beheaded together, how happy." ”

Peng Yu laughed and said: "Then it's up to me, Jiayuguan City itself is located in the throat area where Hexi enters the Western Regions, as long as we are willing to pay attention, even if it is the Gobi Desert, Lao Tzu will use urine to nourish golden bumps." ”

Zhang Jianliang nodded, raised his hand and threw the woman who was affectionate to him on the war horse. He slapped his hand on the thigh and asked the war horse to follow Peng Yu back to Jiayu Pass City, and he coughed himself, and then turned to the residents of Jiuquan County who were looking at him with hatred.

The people here don't have much fun on weekdays, but today such a big thing happened, and they stood from a distance to watch the excitement, so although the fire set by that bastard Peng Yu burned down the house, it didn't hurt anyone.

Most of these people's wealth is cattle and sheep, and they are released to graze in broad daylight, and the loss is nothing more than some pots and pans and tattered belongings......

There is nothing to say, Jiuquan County was burned down, and people had to follow Zhang Jianliang back to Jiayuguan City.

It took Zhang Jianliang three days to count all the people in Jiuquan County, and returned to Jiayuguan City with apprehension.

He returned to Jiayuguan City with the last group of people.

The worried riots did not appear, and the locals, who had always refused outsiders to enter Jiayuguan City, stood at the gate of the city with their hands folded and smiled one by one, watching these Jiuquan people who were going to drive the sheep into the city.

Not only that, but there are many people who enthusiastically guide these people to where they should go, pack up the sheepfold, and settle down.

Zhang Jianliang ignored these people, hurriedly returned to his sheriff's residence, and found that Peng Yu, a bastard, was wearing a high-quality, expensive rain-soaked azure robe, with a green hosta on his head, and a brush in his hand, lazily recording the names of the new Jiuquan people who came to live in Jiayuguan.

For each record, the proprietress who sold mutton soup next to him took out two silver dollars from the box and handed them to the people of Jiuquan.

The people of Jiuquan took the silver dollar tremblingly, and many people's eyes were wet, as if they had just cried.

When Peng Yu saw that Zhang Jianliang was back, he waved his hand, and those Jiuquan people who were already a little unruly went out very obediently, and also helped Peng Yu close the door intimately.

"What's going on?" Zhang Jianliang can say.

"It's nothing, I burned down other people's homes, and I always have to compensate them so that they can live in Jiayuguan City with peace of mind."

"Money from the bank?"

"No, the bank's money is being discussed, I want 500,000 silver dollars, the bank refuses, saying that there is not so much money after selling the Jiayuguan branch, but the bank's shopkeeper Liu promised to go to Zhangye to raise money, and it is estimated that he will come back in five days."

Zhang Jianliang grabbed a handful of silver dollars and threw them back into the box, but said, "Where did it come from?" ”

Peng Yutan spread his hands and said: "I got a cooperative, and the people of our Jiayuguan City are willing to join the shares, no, 23,400 silver dollars have been raised, and the initial cost of resettlement of Jiuquan people is enough." ”

Zhang Jianliang's face turned red all of a sudden, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Over the years, I have not collected protection money, and I have done my best to help the people here avoid taxes, so that I have accumulated this surplus silver, how can you bear to scavenge the silver from their hands again?"

If it doesn't work, you have to pay it back to them. ”

The proprietress of the sheep soup restaurant who helped Peng Yu distribute the money was puzzled: "We took out the money, why should we take it back?" ”

Zhang Jianliang said angrily: "You know a fart, you have all been deceived by this bastard." ”

The woman looked at Zhang Jianliang and said, "No, Mr. Peng is going to use the land to pay it back, in Jiayuguan, silver is not as good as the land that can be farmed." ”

Zhang Jianliang roared angrily: "Where is the land? ”

The woman pointed to the Jiuquan people outside the house: "They have agreed to help open the land by the Moon River." ”

Zhang Jianliang's lungs were about to explode, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Peng Yu and said: "It is clear in the "Northwest Land Law" of the National Dynasty that whoever develops and uses it, who pays taxes, and who owns it. The land developed by the people of Jiuquan will only be their own and will not be given to others. ”

The woman was puzzled and said: "However, those Jiuquan people have already promised to hand over one acre of land to the court for every three acres of land cultivated, and Mr. Peng has promised to sell us one silver dollar for this acre of land."

If the concubine has thirty silver dollars, there will be thirty acres of land. ”

Zhang Jianliang froze again.

Peng Yu put his arm around Zhang Jianliang's shoulders and said to the woman: "Why are you so blind, why don't you go and make a bed for the sheriff and prepare bathwater, it should have tired our sheriff in the past few days." ”

The woman nodded shyly and flew away.

Peng Yu looked at Zhang Jianliang up close and said: "Don't say that my brother didn't take care of you, according to the laws of the imperial court, you, the sheriff, should own a hundred acres of public land, come and see, I have demarcated this piece of land for you, I have seen it, it is a good place to grow grapes, the land on the other side of the river is better, and you will buy it slowly in the future, and within five years, you will have a huge vineyard."

I suggest that you plant wine grapes, not fresh fruits, and make wine and sell wine in the future, so that you can make a lot of money.

And this woman, she will be yours in the future, and I don't know how you got it, people have already had you in their hearts, you are just rude to others, what are you doing, women must coax.

Lao Zhang, go to Meimei for a meal first, then take a hot bath, and then sleep happily with the beauty, and tomorrow morning, I will report our great cause to you. ”
