Chapter 47: Luyi Farming
The second brother has no experience in how to govern a county, but after Liang Yizhang said, his thinking became clear, that is, let the residents have their houses, plough their fields, make the people have enough food and clothing, and then ensure the safety of the party.
In fact, after the second brother entered the city, he did the same, but he didn't have a systematic plan in his mind, and after listening to Liang Yizhang's words, his thinking became clear.
A Luyi County is indeed not a difficult thing for him. If a county can't be governed, and he doesn't put up a shelf and let people see his ability and potential, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get the refuge of talents.
In Luyi City, because it was burned by the invasion army once, the problem of living is a serious problem at present.
At this time, most of the residents in the city were crowded in ruins, and the situation in the city was very chaotic.
The first thing that the second brother thought of was to burn bricks, but the birth of a brick requires digging soil, mud, embryo making, drying, kiln loading, firing and other links, especially burning bricks, which requires coal, and the whole process takes several months, but it cannot solve the immediate urgency.
At this time, the second brother Gao is still planning to build some wooden houses and tents first, so that the residents in the city and the upcoming families have a place to settle down, so that each family can have at least one shanty to tide over the current difficulties.
However, when doing this, the second brother also began to prepare to burn bricks, he asked the pillar to find the fast-clay land, make embryos by the river, and dry the embryos first, and when the city walls are renovated and houses are built in the future, they can be fired directly.
It is also possible to use firewood to burn bricks, but the strength of this kind of low-temperature bricks is far from enough, and to burn bricks well, you must have coal.
The second brother Gao remembered that there were coal mines in Pingdingshan and Shangqiu, but Pingdingshan was too far away from Luyi and the transportation cost was too high, so he naturally couldn't afford to burn it, and it was not cost-effective.
Shangqiu's coal mine is okay, but it seems to be in Yongcheng, which is Liu Heizi's territory, and the second brother Gao can't help but sigh that he and Liu Heizi are really inseparable.
The matter of burning bricks cannot be realized for the time being, and only when the farming is idle can we have the opportunity to organize a large number of people to do it.
Now the second brother Gao and Wu Shizhao, together with the people in the city, spent a few days to finally clean up the ruins in the city, and took the opportunity to re-plan the city, dividing it into residential areas, yamen districts, urban areas, and military camps, and widening the streets, planning drainage ditches on both sides, preparing to change the appearance of Luyi.
After the ruins were cleaned up, the second brother took an axe every day and took a group of men to the nearby woods to cut down trees, and the branches and leaves were used to make firewood, and the tree poles were used to build sheds, tables and chairs.
In this way, both the people in the city and his subordinates became close to this captain.
Luyi was originally looted, and the nearly 10,000 residents in the city had long been left with nothing and no hope, but the second brother took the lead in working and creating from scratch, but it gradually replaced the people's hope for survival.
For a while, the crowd in the city was busy, and the smoke gradually regained a trace of vitality.
In the county office, since Liang Yizhang decided to leave a useful body, plus seeing Xiao'er, his mood improved, and he was carefully taken care of by the old servant, and his body recovered very quickly.
At this time, in his room, the old servant Yang Cun fried a few dishes for him, and he didn't know where to get a pot of wine and set a table. Liang Yizhang invited Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng to give a lecture to Gao Yihuan.
"Fu Jun, you are out of the tiger's mouth, why did you harm the two late births, let us lose our reputation, and serve the thieves?" After Yu Yinglong saluted Liang Yizhang with a glass of wine, he said with some complaints.
Sun Yucheng on the side also meant this, but Liang Yizhang was a senior member after all, and he was born as a Jinshi, so he was dissatisfied, but it was not easy to say it directly.
Liang Yizhang's face was a little unbearable, but in order to get out for himself, he recommended them to the second brother Gao, which was obviously a little unkind.
At this time, Liang Yizhang looked at the two of them, and could only soothe: "These days, you should also have some understanding of this Gao Du Lieutenant, his essence is not bad, and he is different from those thieves. The reason why he became a thief was also coerced by the rogue, his father Gao Zurong, like you, was a student, and he was completely forced to be helpless, and the thief broke the Zhuangzi before he was forced to join the thief. ”
Yu Yinglong was born in the Yu clan of Kaocheng County, Guide Prefecture, and there was a celebrity in the clan, that is, Yu Qian, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, he could not insult his ancestors, "Fujun, forgive the late life bluntly, a thief is a thief, and he is forced to be helpless and a thief, there is no excuse to say." If we scholars are like this, then do we still have to defend the city, and when the thieves come, can't the officials be forced to surrender to the thieves? ”
The second brother did not persecute Liang Yizhang, in fact, what he was worried about was that he was in Cao Ying, and his heart was in Han, and he would suddenly be sold when the time came. He didn't want to leave such a hidden danger, and he didn't want to rely on Liang Yizhang, so he decided to try to run Luyi by himself and bring the core team up first.
At this time, most of the gentry in the world were on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet made frequent faint moves as it did later, which made some gentry disheartened and did not show that they were going to finish immediately.
At this time, Li Zicheng's power was so big, and he couldn't attract a few students, Li Yan and Liu Jinxing were just a lifter, and the second brother of the high school was a small rogue with hundreds of people, and if he wanted to accept a jinshi, the time was indeed not very ripe.
After thinking about it again, the second brother decided to let Liang Yizhang return to the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, if Li Zicheng doesn't succeed, the second brother will have a chance to take the line of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, if history is still developing as before, when Hongguang ascended the throne in Nanjing, Donglin Dang and Ma Shiying and others, in order to control the government in Nanjing, squeezed out officials who went south from the north, and made many officials desperate to return north, he may be able to collect a group of officials through Liang Yizhang.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, by that time, the second brother has become a force that cannot be ignored, and he can become another choice for this group of officials outside the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Liang Yizhang listened to Yu Yinglong's words and put down his wine glass, "I know what you mean, but after I go back, I will find a way to let the imperial court recruit Gao Duwei, and if you help him now, it is equivalent to helping the imperial court." ”
Saying that, Liang Yizhang sighed, "After the defeat of Songshan, there are not many soldiers and horses available in the imperial court, and you know it. Although there are no more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in this Luyi city, I think it is a usable man and horse. If you help Gao Duwei to handle the civil affairs of Luyi well, so that he has the energy to train the troops, and when the Zhao'an edict arrives, maybe the imperial court will be able to have one more elite soldiers, and you can also return to the imperial court. ”
"Does Gao Duwei really have the heart to submit to the imperial court?" Sun Yucheng couldn't help asking.
Liang Yizhang actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he nodded affirmatively, "I talked to him about this matter, and he was willing." You two can also see from what he is doing, the other rogues are destroying and looting, but he is recovering the place, he is different from those rogues. ”
Hearing Liang Yizhang say this, Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng's expressions softened, and the two of them were silent for a while, thinking that Gao Yihuan was indeed not like a rogue, and they didn't have much choice now, they just needed to go down a step.
The two were silent for a while before raising their glasses, "Since the prince said so, I will help him that night, and wait for the adults to come back to preside over Zhao'an." ”
Liang Yizhang helped the second brother persuade the two sour Xiucai, and left a few days later, but his son and the old servant Yangcun stayed in Luyi County.
This is not that Gao Yihuan intends to keep a hostage, but Liang Yizhang is not optimistic about the situation after going back.
Guide was captured by thieves, and the soldiers directly threatened Fengyang, and the imperial court did not dare to take Liu Liangzuo, who supported the army and respected himself, which might make him lose the responsibility of the land, so he didn't dare to go back with Xiao'er.
At the south gate of Luyi, the second brother Gao stood on the city tower, looking at the back of Liang Yizhang leading a donkey out of the city, and his heart couldn't help but be a little touched.
Most people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but Liang Yizhang, for the sake of the ideal of saving the country in his heart, knew that it might be dangerous to go back, but he still jumped into the fire pit without hesitation.
The second brother Gao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought that he might be doomed to fail and that the Ming Dynasty would eventually collapse.
"Second brother, really just let him go?" Zhao Zhuzi saw Gao Yihuan's expression, he knew that the second brother Gao persuaded Liang Yizhang all the way, serving tea and pouring water like serving his ancestors, but he didn't expect that he still failed to impress Liang Yizhang in the end, he couldn't help but be a little angry and said: "Or I'll tie him back." ”
Gao Erge sighed, "Forget it, the melon is not sweet, maybe it won't be long before he comes to the door by himself." ”
When the world is in chaos and Hu Lu goes south, as long as he is strong and can become the hope of the Han people and people of insight in the world, there will be a lot of talents sent to the door.
Thinking of this, the second brother of the high school perked up, and suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go, go back with me to see the little cub~"
