Chapter 284: Liaodong is in an emergency
"Let go of me, you bastard, let me get up and see if I don't hack you bastard!" Jae Sangwu, who was pressed against the chair, refused to give in, still struggling and yelling.
When the two guards of the Horqin tribe outside rushed into the tent, they were taken aback when they saw that Zai Sang was being pressed on the chair by Yang Feng, and immediately pulled out their scimitars and pointed at Yang Feng and shouted: "Let go of the prince immediately, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
"Whoa!"
While speaking, Song Ye and a family Ding also rushed in, and after seeing the scene in the tent, he took out a long knife and pointed at the two guards without saying a word.
Yang Feng let go of Zaisang, shook his head helplessly, and put the scimitar in his hand still on the ground: "Lord Zaisang, are you planning to turn your face against me now?" ”
"You bastard." Zai Sang was so angry that the muscles on his face couldn't stop shaking, glaring at Yang Feng angrily, and only after a long time did he suddenly shout to the several guards facing the door: "Get out of here, and call Wu Keshan over by the way!" ”
"Alright, you all go out." Yang Feng also waved his hand to Song Ye, and Song Ye gave a military salute to Yang Feng and walked out.
The two sat back in their chairs and did not speak until Wu Keshan came in.
When Wu Keshan arrived, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the two people who were silent, and when he saw the scimitar still on the ground, "Abu, Lord Yang, what happened, how could this be?" ”
A trace of anger flashed in Zai Sang's eyes, and he pointed at Yang Feng and shouted angrily: "You ask him, what good things have you done?" ”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Yang Feng's eyes, so he had to retell what he had just happened again.
What surprised Yang Feng was that Wu Keshan was not as angry as his Lao Tzu, but looked at Yang Feng quite calmly, and said slowly: "Yang Feng, you could have not told me and Abu about this kind of thing, but now that you have taken the initiative to tell us, you must have made a decision in your heart, can you tell me your decision now?" ”
"I'm going to take them back to Daming." Yang Feng did not hide his intentions at all, "Zhezhe already has my child, if this matter is known to Huang Taiji, Zhezhe and Bumu Butai will also shed their skin if they don't die, so I hope you can bless us and let me take them back to Daming, I promise to make them happy." ”
"You promise, what guarantee do you take." Zai Sang snorted: "You are just a small chief military officer, but Huang Taiji is the eighth prince of the Dajin Kingdom, and it is possible to inherit the position of the Great Khan in the future, why should my sister and daughter not do the good Fujin, but follow you as your little wife?" ”
When Zai Sang said this, Yang Feng was not happy, and pouted: "Little wife? If I'm not mistaken, Zhezhe and Bumu Butai were just side Fujin before, aren't side Fujin little wives? ”
"Can Fang Fujin be the same as his little wife?" Zai Sang snorted coldly: "According to what you Ming people say, Zhezhe and Bumu Butai are concubines, but you are just a small general soldier, not even the lowest earl, how can you compare with Huang Taiji, this Belle." ”
Yang Feng sneered: "But don't forget, Huang Taiji, Lord Belle, was just beaten and fled by me, a small chief soldier, and even his own woman was captured by me, what kind of Baylor is a man who can't even protect his own woman!" Besides, according to the rules of your steppe, the captured woman is my own booty, and now I have to take my own booty with me, is there anything wrong with me? ”
Groove ...... And this kind of thing?
Zaisan and Wu Keshan only felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses roaring past in their hearts, trampling their fragile hearts to pieces. Doesn't it say that the Han people value courtesy, righteousness, honesty, benevolence, righteousness and morality the most, why does this guy not have the virtues of the Han people at all, or that they met a fake Han people.
Wu Keshan stammered, "You...... Didn't you promise to return Zhezhe and Bumu Butai to us last time? ”
Yang Feng retorted eloquently: "I said it, but you didn't give me a ransom, so now they are still my captives, isn't it wrong for me to take them away?" ”
"This kid has a point, I'm speechless."
Wu Keshan and Zaisang, father and son, looked at each other, and the two found that they couldn't say anything to refute.
Seeing that Zai Sang's face was gradually darkening again, Yang Feng was afraid that this guy would be angry, so he hurriedly comforted: "This ...... Father-in-law, don't be angry. In fact, I am also doing this for the good of Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, let me ask you, if you let Zhezhe and Bumu Butai stay in the Horqin tribe, can you protect them? ”
"I ......"
Zai Sang's father and son slammed their mouths and sighed at the same time, things are really as Yang Feng said, after all, the water spilled by the married daughter, if the Houjin faction wants to take the second daughter away, they really have no reason to stop others.
The worst thing is that there is no painless abortion in these years, if women want to beat the child, it is tantamount to breaking through a ghost gate, they don't dare to take this risk, according to this situation, it is the best choice for them to follow Yang Feng back to Daming, but this is too cheap for this kid.
Seeing that Zaisang's father and son were a little moved and a little unwilling, Yang Feng took the opportunity to add to the fire: "That's it, I also know that you are also Zhezhe and Bumu Butai who will be wronged by me." So be it...... What do you think of giving you 500,000 catties of grain, 10,000 catties of salt, 20 carts of tea, and 60,000 taels of silver as a bride price? ”
"Huh...... This seems to be possible. Wu Keshan was immediately moved when he heard this, this is a generous gift, compared to Nurhachi, a stingy ghost, his cheap brother-in-law is too generous. He looked at Zai Sang and found that although his father was still brushing his beard silently, the beard under his chin was trembling slightly, which was a very satisfactory performance with his understanding of Lao Tzu.
"Well...... We also ......"
Although Wu Keshan was already willing, he still wanted to see if he could take out more things from Yang Feng's hands out of instinct, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he saw the essence in Yang Feng's eyes, and he immediately thought that this cheap brother-in-law in front of him was not a good stubble, but he had thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, if he really wanted to anger him, wouldn't he even be able to get those things just now, then it would be a big loss?
"That'...... That one...... I think it's good, Abu, what do you think? ”
Wu Keshan turned his mouth and turned his head to look at Zai Sang.
"Well, I think so."
At this time, Zai Sang had long since lost the angry appearance he had just now, and when he calmed down, he touched the little beard under his chin and nodded, his face showed a trace of bitterness and reluctance, and finally turned into a long sigh: "For the sake of the safety of Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, it's still good to let them follow you to Daming, but should you let them come over and tell the old man in person?" ”
"This is indeed the way it should be." Hearing this, Yang Feng knew that this was done, and Zai Sang said this just to find a step for himself. It is said that money can be channeled, and this is really true.
The matter on Zaisang's side was solved, but there were some small problems on Hai Lanzhu's side, when Hai Lanzhu learned that her newlywed husband had also done her aunt and sister at the same time, she was dumbfounded, although she didn't look for Yang Feng's brain, but she didn't pay attention to Yang Feng for three days afterwards, and when the two got back together, they were already on their way back to Daming.
Spring has arrived, and the time has also reached the sixth year of the apocalypse, and the next year of this year has changed a little compared to another time and space. And this change is very obvious to the already weakened Da Ming.
First of all, thanks to the potatoes brought by Yang Feng. Although the officialdom of the Ming Empire is still so corrupt, under the forced promotion of Zhu Youxiao, potatoes are still planted on a pilot basis in the surrounding areas of Nanjing and a small number of places such as Shanxi and Shaanxi.
Although there was no chemical fertilizer for fertilization in this era, the high-yield crop of potatoes still surprised the farmers and the government who planted it, and Zhu Youxiao and several cabinet elders could hardly believe their eyes when they looked at the potato yield reported below.
"The average yield per mu is 4356 catties, God, is this true?" Huang Liji, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, looked at the report sent from below, rubbed his eyes again and again, and after reading it several times, he turned his attention to the others present.
Li Guo, the head of the household department, smiled bitterly and nodded: "Lord Huang, the official was also taken aback when he first received the output reported below, at first the official also thought that the people below joined forces to deceive the court in order to flatter him, and later the official also personally went to the farm in the suburbs to investigate in person, and finally dared to determine the authenticity of these data." The minister can be sure that if this potato can be planted on a large scale, I will no longer have the worry of famine, and the minister will congratulate Your Majesty! ”
Everyone also stood up in unison, and said in unison to Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting in the first seat: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Although Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting in the seat, tried his best to maintain his majesty, he couldn't hide the pride in his eyes. He glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Do you remember what you said last year that I would promote the cultivation of this kind of potato in Daming?" What else do you have to say now? ”
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, even these old fritters who have been in the officialdom for most of their lives are still red-faced, especially Huang Liji, the secretary of the ministry, is even more resolutely opposed, and even stated that since Pangu opened the three emperors and five emperors, there has never been such a high yield of grain, Yang Feng is definitely a fallacy to confuse the public, and he should be taken down and put on death row. At that time, Huang Liji even swore that if there was such a thing, he would be willing to take off his official robe and go home.
Later, when Zhu Youxiao tried to plant this plant in a farm on the outskirts of Beijing and some small places in Shaanxi and Shanxi, he was also opposed by many people, and if Zhu Youxiao ordered the planting through Wei Zhongxian, I am afraid that these potato seeds sent by Yang Feng kindly would rot in the warehouse.
Looking at Huang Liji's flushed old face, Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "Huang Aiqing, I remember that you said last year that if potatoes can yield thousands of catties per mu, you are willing to resign and return to your hometown, is that so?" ”
Hearing this, Huang Liji's heart immediately jumped, he looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was expressionless, and then looked at the colleagues around him who looked helpless, his face became pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... Lao Chen...... Old minister......"
Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "Huang Aiqing, a gentleman does not stand without faith, you don't want to break your word and get fat, right?" ”
At this time, Huang immediately knew that he had no one to help him anymore, who had let himself let out everything in front of the emperor and all the ministers, and it was useless to regret it now. He stood up with a miserable laugh, knelt down towards Zhu Youxiao, kowtowed, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, the old minister has gone!" ”
With that, he stood up and walked out the door. Looking at Huang Yi's lonely back, the ministers sitting at the head of Zhu Youxiao only felt a feeling of sadness welling up in their hearts, and the people who could climb to this position were not stupid, they knew very well why Zhu Youxiao suddenly brought up last year's gambling contract, he was telling them these people, don't think that I can't clean you up, and if you dare to do it against me, this is your fate.
In the end, Gu Bingqian, who was the first assistant to the cabinet, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Huang has spoken wildly, he has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has always been conscientious. ”
As an official in the Ming Dynasty, when he reached the third rank or above, as long as he did not make a big mistake and was demoted from the Beijing Division, the emperor would send someone to give him a ride and reward some property or objects to show the emperor's praise for his courtiers.
"Reward?" Zhu Youxiao's voice suddenly became cold: "Since we are talking about rewards, I want to ask Gu Aiqing, is this kind of potato that can live countless people good?" ”
Facing Zhu Youxiao's questioning, Gu Bingqian didn't dare not answer: "Of course, this thing can be said to be an artifact given to me by God, if this thing can be planted in a large area, I don't have to worry about famine anymore." ”
"Since we didn't even give him any praise for the hero who offered this thing, then Huang, who opposes planting potatoes, can immediately get the praise of the imperial court, Gu Bingqian, is this how you are the first assistant?" Zhu Youxiao's voice was as cold as if it was floating out of an ice warehouse.
Hearing this, Gu Bingqian didn't dare to stand anymore, and quickly knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" Several of the surrounding elder monks also left their seats and knelt down.
"Hmph...... A bunch of waste that only puts an afterthought! Zhu Youxiao sighed in his heart He was about to speak, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and soon Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked over and said urgently.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. The thief chief Nurhachi led an army of 50,000 to suddenly surround the line of Jinzhou and Dalinghe Fort ten days ago, and Liaodong was in an emergency! ”
