Chapter 217: The pit ash is not cold, and the mountain is in turmoil

The ashes of the pit were not cold, and Liu Xiang did not study. Although this Shandong is not the other Shandong, Zhang Yue has seen some historical interpretations, and knows that this Shandong is the hotbed of rebellion and the cradle of uprisings, from Liangshanbo to the White Lotus Maitreya Sect, in short, there are as many large and small rebellions as there are. For example, the situation in Shandong is worse than that of Henan, because there were too many plagues and famines in the past few years, and the construction of the Huitong River and the city of Beijing has levied too many conscriptions, and the snow disaster of last year has almost hollowed out the bottom of the box of the political secretary.

Now this reclamation is a large piece of cake that looks tempting, but how much manpower does it take to reclaim the wasteland into mature land? Although many people moved in Shandong in the early years of Yongle, after all, the land is still vast and sparsely populated, who would leave the cooked land that they have cultivated to reclaim the wasteland? However, with the ploughing cattle and seeds, it is quite attractive after all, and many families with sufficient family members are a little active, and those who are wealthy are even more excited.

After Zhang Yue received the official letter from the political secretary, he took his subordinates and began to arrange for the displaced people to be in the field. This Tuntian border is the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously promoted the policy of determining the country, now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, the frontier to recruit the people of Tuntian is not as easy as the beginning of the world chaos, and the government order is changed, the people began to be trapped in those official fields, so often there are few people who respond.

Although Shandong is trapped in natural disasters, from Liaohai in the north to Qingzhou in the south, the tide is alluvial every day, silting up countless fertile land for farming. When the government built the first tuntian farm, distributed rations and farm tools, and arranged ploughing cattle, it was finally just in time for spring ploughing.

Since the reclamation and tuntian are both good governance implemented by Du Zhen's imperial court, Zhang Yue also didn't care about anything else for the time being, and planned and arranged this matter wholeheartedly, and took the servants around the territory of Qingzhou Mansion all day long. One is to appease the poor people in Tuntian. One has to contact the big families, but also to get some seeds to plough cattle and a series of things, so as not to fill the merchants' own pockets, but in half a month, his round chin has come out, and even the longevity picture for his grandmother is hurriedly written.

Those who do not reclaim the land do not matter, and the pilot project starts from a few villages, and the structure of mutual aid is gradually erected. In Zihedian Village, there were suddenly four more ploughing cattle lent by the government. They are all sturdy physiques, which are very different from the old and dying official cow before. Now that the regulations elected by the villagers have not yet been decided, it is Lao Yang Tou who is in charge of these, and after a few busy days, his thin chin has become more and more pointed, and his face is full of joyful smiles.

"Hey, who would have thought that the young little minister would be the Tongzhi of our Qingzhou Mansion, and he was not stunned at all in the face of such a scene. The words spoken are one set at a time, and they sound convincing. There were a few troublemakers that day, but he didn't beat and punished him, and three or two sentences made people stop! Tsk, it's everyone's style......"

"Daddy. Have you said enough of this? You just nag those few words all day long, and that little Zhang is afraid that his ears are itching to death! ”

Yang Gou'er has been said to have a brain ache in the past few days, and now he has to interrupt his father's nagging angrily. It's just that this government used to drag on in doing things. This time it was unprecedented, and he had a trace of admiration for Zhang Yue—but only a hint, because he was trained like a cow and a horse by his father for a few days. Now that the family has cultivated two-thirds of the plots, he still has to supervise the families who borrow oxen to plow the land, so that his feet do not touch the ground all day long.

Someone had already come outside while speaking, it was Lao Yangtou's nephew, Xu Er, who had been here that day. He came in and said hello to Lao Yangtou, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I got a letter from you that day, uncle." As soon as the notice came out, our father fell in love with five acres of wasteland in the west of the village. Our family has a large population, and there is not much benefit in cultivating famine in the past, which also has to pay summer taxes and autumn grain, and now there are seeds and cattle to borrow, just let the three little ones go to hone and hone their tempers. ”

Lao Yang Tou was naturally proud when he heard this: "So I said, as long as the government can be a little more sympathetic to us, this life will still be good!" I said the second child, you will also divide the land in peace in the future. Don't bother about that nonsense. Don't cause trouble to your family! ”

Xu Eryi's face sank when he heard this: "Uncle's words are not right, you have to be a man with your conscience." That time, if my mother's illness hadn't been for the Buddha's mother to come and see it in person, in the end, after the medicine was removed, she didn't take a penny, but I was afraid that my mother would be gone! The government is the government, and the meeting is the meeting, I can still distinguish this bit of proportion, and I won't do anything to be a traitor! ”

Seeing his nephew go out with a smoke, Lao Yang suddenly sighed. He has also seen the so-called Buddha Mother from afar a few times, and he does have such an indescribable breath, but the person is extremely good, if she didn't give up medicine to cure the disease, this Buddha Mother would not have such a big reputation in Sixiang. But he heard Xu Er say that the protectors of the Buddha's mother will be fierce and ruthless, and they usually worship the Buddha's mother as a bodhisattva, but now they are afraid that the people above have nothing, and the people below have a lot of thoughts.

Xu Er returned to his house in a huff, and saw his brother let a few people in gray clothes into a house facing north, and closed the door tightly. He had just been taught a few words by his uncle, and he was thinking about it at this time, and when he saw this scene, he asked the old lady who was busy working on the stove: "Mother, those people in the club are coming to find the eldest brother again?" ”

"That's different from usual, it's a few Dharma protectors who serve the Buddha's mother in the meeting, and discuss things through the house at home. Since that time the Buddha Mother cured my illness, our family has believed in the Buddha Mother, but it is the first time that someone from above has come! The Xu Jiang clan was still busy steaming steamed buns there, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that the Buddha Mother didn't come, otherwise I would definitely pay a good visit to the Living Bodhisattva." ”

Although it was broad daylight, as soon as the door was closed, the north house of the Xu family was extremely dim. Xu Da and a man sat on the kang, and the four people below sat on the stool, and at this time, the first one on the left spoke sullenly: "This official mansion has suddenly changed its temperament, it is both tuntian and reclamation, I thought it would drag on for a few days, but who knew that it was resolute." Nowadays, many people want to open up wasteland and borrow cattle, and on weekdays, all townships and villages have to find people to say that things are not complete. ”

"This time, the government moved very quickly, and the young Tongzhi had personally gone down to five or six villages before, and the villagers who went to the prefect's yamen to read the notice that day recognized him, and now his good reputation has spread. These guys are just dead-eyed, that kid just went to the countryside for a walk, and he didn't do anything practical, and he earned a good reputation in his life! ”

"Don't underestimate him, when it snows in winter, aren't there bandits from Anqiu and Zhucheng to rob things in the village? Now that the government is tracking down very much, I heard that three have been caught, but they were beheaded after the trial, and I heard that it was specially approved by the Criminal Department. The people are all applauding, and it is said that there are some shadowy words in Qingzhou Mansion, what is it called Strike Hard ......"

The people in this room seem to be inconspicuous, but they are all well-known people outside. Bin Hong, Zhao Wan, Dong Yansheng, and Liu Xin are all bigwigs in the meeting, although they mainly worship the Buddha mother on weekdays, but the real power in various places is still in their hands. At this moment, everyone complained for a while, and everyone turned their attention to the bearded man at the bottom.

"Brother Yue, the Buddha Mother is still the same, she is only busy seeing doctors and administering medicine in various villages, and she doesn't care about anything else. Now she is becoming more and more famous among the people, but since everyone trusts her, she must also have a charter! The government decree changes overnight, even if it is a good official this time, who knows what to do in the future? This reclamation is said to be tax-free for five years, and if you suddenly have to collect taxes in the end, it will be in vain! ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yue Changtian, the bearded man, couldn't help but sneer: "Everyone is counting on the Buddha Mother, but the Buddha Mother can really command less than a thousand people, but not as many as you." Our meeting is to help the people, the Buddha's mother's medical treatment is a matter of internal affairs, but you are doing a lot of things secretly under the guise of the Buddha's mother. ”

"Yue Changtian, what do you mean by this!"

Seeing that someone was shooting the case, Yue Changtian remembered the instructions he had received before, and he had to put away his ridiculous thoughts, stood up and arched his hand and said, "I know what you want to say, and I will definitely report to the Buddha Mother truthfully after I go back." However, there is a sentence I want to say in the front, now the government is reclamation, tuntian, and lending cattle, and those big families with good names have been twisted into a rope by the government, and the people of Qingzhou Mansion have gained sweetness, and they are not so easy to fool before. ”

He smiled, turned around and pushed the door straight out. Looking up at the gray sky, he couldn't help but think of the day he met Amber, and his mood was suddenly a little irritable, but then he was completely overwhelmed. She and he are already dead people in the genealogy, and if something happens in the future, it will not even affect the Qiu family. At the beginning, the third aunt was really ruthless, in order to prevent her daughter from dying on the way to Hainan, she did not hesitate to let her own daughter fall into slavery, is it really so good to survive?

"It's better to die than to live? Hmph, I'd rather die than live like this mediocre for the rest of my life! ”

Yue Changtian, perhaps Qiu Changtian breathed a long sigh of relief and strode away from the back door of Xu's house. No one expected the sudden change in the current situation, if he didn't try again, he was afraid that all the painstaking plans in the past few years would come to naught. Now that he knew that Amber had voted for a good family and could still live his life, he didn't have time to worry about this cousin anymore. Even if the fire really ignites in the future and burns that Zhang Yue, he just needs to be able to protect her.

When the Qiu family migrated to Hainan, who stood up and spoke out of so many military ministers? Even Zhang Fu, who once inherited the favor of his grandfather Qiu Fu, did not! If the Zhang family is implicated this time, it deserves it!
