Chapter 185 has a grand conspiracy in it

The Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, so everyone is a little tired.

Li Hongji took the men to Luzhou, and Zhang Bingzhong took the men and horses to Changsha.

They all seemed reluctant to be neighbors with Yun Zhao.

Suddenly, there were a lot of borderlands around Xiangyang.

The officials in charge of suppressing the bandits hurriedly reported the good news to the emperor, but after the good news, they did not dare to enter these places, only saying that they were pursuing the bandits.

Those who dared to rebel followed Li Hongji or Zhang Bingzhong, and most of those who stayed behind were old, weak, women and children.

Without thieves and courts, these old and weak women and children have a glimmer of hope for the future.

A group of Tsing Yi people rode horses and drove a cart to Nanzhang County.

Instead of disturbing the panicked fleeing people, they began to repair the dilapidated county office.

They did not have many people, so the work of repairing the county government was very slow.

So, some people in Tsing Yi went to those frightened people, hoping that they could help repair the county government, and the wages were not high, so they still replaced them with food.

Some of the people who didn't have overnight food at home gritted their teeth.

When they went home in the evening, they really brought back millet and millet.

So the next day, more people came.

The work of repairing the county government is not heavy, and it is also in charge of food, which is a job with a lot of oil and water.

Over the years, people have finally been able to get some food back through their labor, and that's a good thing.

Seeing the children gobbling up, and the wife daring to drink porridge, the head of the family always has some feelings.

It's just that the county government will soon finish repairing, and I don't know if there is such a job.

After the county government was repaired, many Tsing Yi people directly stationed in the county office, and they still did not trouble the people, but posted notices, hoping to recruit more people to start repairing the dilapidated county seat.

This time, people from all over the county, young and old, participated.

Just when some people questioned whether these Tsing Yi people could pay so much wages, hundreds of carts entered Nanzhang County, and under the hands of the people, all these full grains were loaded into the county granary.

These Tsing Yi people, with the recruited people, knocked down the crumbling and uninhabited dilapidated houses, and picked out all the bricks, stones, adobe and wood that could be used in them, and piled them up neatly.

After asking the recruited people to fill a large amount of garbage into the potholes, and after pouring water, they were rammed with rammers, and there were many such plots, which were flat and neat, and looked very orderly.

In the late autumn days, the people in Nanzhang County were busy, although they were busy, their faces were somewhat ruddy, and there were some dishes missing.

In the space of two months, the county seat of Nanzhang County was renovated, and even the original potholed dirt roads were paved with masonry removed from the abandoned city walls.

The weather in Nanzhang County this year is very cold and snowy.

Because of the renovation of the county seat, every household has some grain in stock.

However, their work is not over.

I don't know where a large group of people came from, and this group of people looks rich.

The clothes were clean, the eyebrows and eyes were clean, and even the hands that poked out were clean.

After these people arrived in Nanzhang County, the first thing they did was to buy land, buy the vacant land that had been repaired by the people.

Some local people know each other, many years ago, these people left Nanzhang County to flee, but they didn't expect to come back now and become so rich.

The price of vacant land is expensive, and after asking acquaintances and returning home, the price of buying land is staggering.

After these people bought the land, they didn't even build a house, but a group of people partnered to open a kiln factory at the root of the mountain, and when the first furnace of green bricks came out of the kiln, these locals finally understood why they preferred to live in tents or rent other people's houses than immediately start building houses.

It turned out that the people wanted to build a big brick house.

At this time, the locals had already recognized that the person who lived in the county government was the government, and the young man who led it was the county magistrate.

At the same time, when a stone tablet with the word Lantian standing on the border of Nanzhang County, the locals finally understood one thing - from the day the monument was erected, Nanzhang County was already under the jurisdiction of Guanzhong.

In the daytime, people come and go in Nanzhang County, there are horse-drawn carriages running around with bricks and stones, and the houses on the vacant land are slowly standing up with changes every day.

At night, the county town finally quieted down, but the county office was still brightly lit.

Chen Pingqing, the mayor of Nanzhang County, cleared his hoarse voice and said to the Tsing Yi people in the house: "The population statistics book, the land statistics book, the mountain forest statistics book, and the Tangyan statistics book must be completed within three days."

A man in Tsing Yi hesitated and said: "There is a good saying from the owner, if the original owner has fled, but there are these substances in his name, and we treat them as ownerless materials, they will find us to ask for it in the future, how should we deal with it?" ”

Chen Ping said: "Post the notice in March, after March, as ownerless land, we don't have the time, and we don't have the manpower to check these things, here is early in spring, we can't delay spring sowing, this is the focus of our work."

After the back-and-forth ravages of Zhang Bingzhong, Li Hongji, and the government, Xiangyang has lost all the people's morale, and society has collapsed, with a large number of deaths, not to mention economic activities.

First of all, we have to start agricultural production, spring sowing in the coming year is the top priority, there are seedlings in the field, the people's hearts have roots, and when this season's grain is ripe, the people of Nanzhang County will settle down. ”

Tsing Yi's subordinate said: "The resources allocated to us are limited after all, Da Li Chief, you consume these resources so quickly, I am worried that you will not be able to survive the summer harvest." ”

Chen Ping gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, no matter what we do, it's not as bad as the current situation." We can only talk about the future if we quickly let the people see the results.

Continue the current speed of development, don't stop for a moment, immediately recruit a hundred township warriors from the people, and we have to quickly restore the judicial system of Nanzhang County, let's do it. ”

The same thing is happening in the five counties to which Xiangyang belongs.

If a big city like Xiangyang does not have the support of the surrounding states and counties, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to want to develop.

Therefore, today's Xiangyang City has become Lei Heng's garrison.

Development, on the other hand, starts from the surrounding states and counties.

Standing shivering in the snow, he jumped on the spot to warm up his body, then put the reins on himself, and dragged the heavy mountain forward with a group of ragged people.

Unlike when he was a donkey before, this time, he was willing, and because he had been used as a donkey for a long time, he was now re-trailered, and the method was very familiar.

This is a helpless thing, the carriage is pulling seeds, this thing is extremely expensive, dare not have the slightest mistake.

He got his wish in Yushan Academy and won the position of a lieutenant chief, so in the autumn, he had already come to Nanzhang County.

There are not enough livestock, so naturally we can only use people to make up for it.

In the evening, he came to Dongwan Village, where he was located.

It was a very large village, and before the thieves came, there were more than 4,000 people, and now, there are less than 800 people left.

When he first came to Dongwan Village, his heart was cold, and he didn't even know what he should do to revitalize this village with a glorious past.

Fortunately, Chen Ping, the chief of Nanzhang County, is an extremely capable guy, and after the instructions are handed down, he only needs to implement them wholeheartedly, and learn slowly in the process of implementation.

He borrowed to live in the dilapidated ancestral hall of Dongwan Village, which is the ancestral hall of the Liao family, from the scale point of view, there have been a lot of talents here, some broken Jinshi and the first wooden plaques are piled up in the corner, only the mottled paint on the plaque is still silently telling the glory of the past.

Mao Bijiang is considered an old literati in Lantian County, so from the words on the plaque, he can roughly know the past of the famous children of the Liao family.

The bonfire was flickering and extinguishing, and the tired companions had fallen asleep with the quilt in their arms, but they had no sleepiness in any case.

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. The ancients were honest and did not deceive me. ”

From the mouths of some villagers, it was learned that as early as when the Eight Great Kings came to Xiangyang, the Liao family had been raided by the Eight Great Kings, and they not only killed the patriarch, but also killed all the men at home, and as for the women and children, they were escorted to the army as camp prostitutes.

Finally waited for the return of Wang Shi, the fugitive male of the Liao family hurriedly returned to the village, but was caught by Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and tortured about the salary.

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates could not get food, so they tortured the Liao men for fun, and in less than three days, all of them died.

When Li Hongji conquered Xiangyang, the orphan of the Liao family, who had a great hatred for breaking his family, no longer believed in the government or Zhang Bingzhong, but joined Li Hongji's rebel army.

When Yun Zhao gave an order and ordered Li Hongji to leave Xiangyang, the orphans of the Liao family also left, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.

Since the orphan of the Liao family has joined Li Hongji's rebel army, he is naturally a thief, so the property belonging to him needs to be confiscated, including their ancestral ancestral hall, and all the land.

This is actually the result of Yun Zhaoyao.

Mao Bijiang knew that since he carefully studied Lantian's "Land Law", he understood that under Yun Zhao's rule, there were no big landlords with a land estate of more than 1,000 mu, or rather, Yun Zhao did not allow big landlords to exist under his rule.

He is trying to destroy the clan law from the roots.

Now, Li Hongji has gone to Luzhou, and Zhang Bingzhong has taken Changsha...... Next, these two people can only one to the east and the other to the south.

Thinking of this, Mao Bijiang was shocked.

He finally understood why Yun Zhao didn't kill Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong in one go, and also respectfully served Emperor Chongzhen.

Among them - there is a big conspiracy!
