Chapter 92: A Strange Book
After listening to Liu Chun's impassioned statement, Lan Yong was immediately moved, and bowed deeply, "Brother Liu Gaoyi, toothless and unforgettable, I, I'll go tell the big guy!" ”
After speaking, he took two long legs, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Wait a minute...... Something seems to be wrong!
Do I need your thanks?
Besides, if you want to thank me, get something real!
Gold and silver, grain, cattle and horses...... You have to give me some good, right? I said it so clearly, why can't I understand it? Liu Chun rolled his eyes angrily, but Lan Yong's gang ran away, and they couldn't catch up at all, didn't they dig a pit and jump by themselves?
Liu Chun is looking forward to no one coming now.
Obviously, he was delusional, Lan Yong quickly returned to the barracks, that was a jubilant one!
"Quick, go tell the big guy, I have something to announce!"
When the brothers in the army heard the news, they all rushed over.
"Brother Yong, what's a good thing? You're going to get married, aren't you? ”
As soon as these words came out, it immediately attracted a burst of embarrassment...... Many people are happy for Lan Yong, but there are also people who are gloomy, they are also born and died, they are knighted, and they are married, and all the good things are for him.
But look at us, we don't know what to do next!
The gap between people and people is really too big.
A few days ago, there was news circulating in the army that the imperial court wanted to settle the big guys on the plug, use them as military households, and defend the border for the country!
Although it was prepared, it still made countless people feel cold.
As we all know, according to Lao Zhu's rules, once you become a military household, you will have to go from generation to generation and will never be able to get rid of it.
And that's just one of the troubles of military households...... According to the rules of the imperial court, military households should pay one bucket per mu of land, while in the inland official land, the field endowment is five liters and three, and the private land is only three liters and three, that is to say, the military household's field endowment is twice that of the official field and three times that of the civilian field!
What's even worse is that the military households are generally scattered on the nine sides, which belongs to the bitter cold land, the yield per mu is low, the taxes are heavy, and they have to train to fight, and there are Tartars who enter the Kou and loot at every turn.
Life is hard, burdensome, and unsafe.
It is not surprising that military households fled.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been kind to the people, is overly paranoid on the issue of military households! For his goal of raising millions of soldiers without spending a grain of rice on the people, he continued to enrich the military households.
Emigration from all over the country, relocation to Haoqiang, distribution of criminals...... Use all means to maintain the number of military households.
It's just that even so, it can't stop the speed of the military family's escape.
Especially this time when Liaodong was captured and Monan was occupied, there was such a large piece of land, how to master it, Lao Zhu had no better way.
He could only turn some officers and soldiers into military households on the spot, and let them garrison the frontier.
This practice has been throughout the Ming Dynasty, the famous Qi army was transferred to Jizhen after the victory of the anti-Japanese army, and many people married wives and had children in the local area, and never returned to their hometown Yiwu......
Lan Yu took out 100,000 people and came back with 70,000, and according to the plan of the imperial court, at least more than 30,000 people should be left.
With the military households on the border, Lan Yu's power has also been weakened, and it has also saved immigrants from the mainland, which is really a triple win!
But only these warriors who fought on the battlefield suffered!
For the sake of the court, we were wounded and bled at the cost of our lives, and we ended up like this!
Why, the more you do, the more you give?
It's chilling!
Lan Yong glanced at everyone, he could see that some of the brothers were really forced to be happy, and their hearts were bitter!
"Brothers, my little thing is not worth mentioning, but it is a big guy, I have found a good way out for you, do you know Liu Gongzi?"
At the mention of Liu Chun, the officers and men in the army all pricked up their ears and widened their eyes.
Can they not be familiar?
The health regulations in the army were drawn up by Liu Chun, and many wounded soldiers were treated according to his method. and this expedition, the battle jackets on their bodies, the food they ate, and the ginger tea they drank were all arranged by Liu Gongzi.
Didn't you say that Liu Gongzi was going to help the big guy again?
"That's right, I talked to Brother Liu, and he said that he could help settle the big guy...... At present, there are many businesses, land, and pastures in the iron-smelting plant in Daning...... He said that he would ensure that the big guy would live a prosperous life. How capable Brother Liu is, you know, his words count. If you don't believe it, those people in the mouth of Aries, all those who did it with him, all got shares of different values, and now they are all rich, and those women are more decent than the masters! ”
"Really?" Someone asked in surprise: "Brother Yong, if we go, won't we be at the mercy of the girls?" ”
Lan Yong snorted, "Useless things, you won't find a way to manipulate them?" ”
"Yes, yes! You can be at their mercy during the day and at night, and that's not it! ”
"Hahaha!"
……
"This kid has a bit of a conscience!"
After Lan Yu learned the news, he was quite relieved. He was about to raise troops into Xifengkou and return to Beiping. It was also a matter of heart to be able to settle the brothers before they returned.
By the way, there's one more thing to discuss with this kid.
In front of Lan Yu, there was a stack of paper, on which there were only seven words, deducting the four words "Chang's Art of War", it was "Lan Yu".
"Grandma, it's not easy to write a book!"
Lan Yu pushed the manuscript, shook his head, and led his brothers to the Daning Iron Works.
Not to mention, if you don't see you for a few days, a lot has changed here...... The surrounding wasteland has been cleared, people are busy building houses, the ground is sprinkled and clean, and people are coming and going, in an orderly manner.
Don't look at it as a factory, the average military camp can't catch up.
If this kid can lead the troops wholeheartedly, he is guaranteed to be a good seedling!
Lan Yu was also a little helpless, he recruited him several times, as a godson, son-in-law, apprentice, no conditions, do you still want to be my little ancestor?
Lan Yu simply gave up his plan, he urged the horse in, Liu Chun was angry, but it was not easy to close the door.
"You kid said you're willing to help, right?"
"Yes!"
"Well, then, these are eight thousand brethren, whom I have sent, and then, Benjue, I can tell you, that they have followed me from birth to death, without merit, and with hard labor. Don't treat them badly! ”
Now that the words are out, what else can Liu Chun do?
"Of course I won't let you down your brothers, but the order prohibits, although Daning is not as good as the military camp, it is also a place with bricks, soil and king's law! They dare to disobey orders and want to run away from me to be an old lady, but that won't work! I'm here...... Don't raise lazy people! ”
"Hahaha!"
Lan Yu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Well said! Benjue despises lazy people even more! Take it! ”
reached out, unslashed his sword, and threw it to Liu Chun.
"Next!"
Liu Chun took the sword, and Lan Yu said to everyone: "You have all seen it, this is my sword, and now it is handed over to Liu Shi, and you will listen to his orders in the future, let you do whatever you want, whoever is disobedient, kill!" ”
"Understood?"
"Understood!"
Thousands of people shouted together, and the momentum was really unusual.
Liu Chun was also a little enthusiastic.
Zhu Di's guards, Lan Yu's men and horses, add up to tens of thousands of people, all of them are under his arrangement, let me ask the entire Ming Dynasty, is there a six-rank official with more power than him?
The experience was well worth it!
Liu Chun didn't even think about those livestock, cattle and horses.
Somebody has everything!
There are so many young and strong men, it is enough to change the day and make the sun and the moon change the day in Daning.
"I also make a promise to everyone, as long as it takes three years, I will let you earn ten taels of silver a month, if you can't do it, let Master Hou come to me to settle accounts!"
In a warm atmosphere, the two sides ended the handover, Lan Yu turned around and left, just went out a few dozen steps, turned the horse's head again, and came back!
Liu Chun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the surname Lan still has a conscience, you can't just throw me the burden and don't give me benefits! Last time he gave thousands of cattle, horses, and livestock, and this time it will not be less.
Liu Chun is full of confidence.
When Lan Yu arrived in front of Liu Chun, he didn't speak, and his old face turned red.
"Well, can you do me a favor? I'm not very good at writing military books. ”
This is like a primary school student, Liu Chun just doesn't know what to say, don't you still want to accept me as an apprentice? How did the master ask his disciples for advice?
"I can give you a strange book, but can you...... Need to pay a manuscript fee! ”
