Chapter 402: Heart-wrenching
He Yusheng's attention and attention to grain is indeed beyond common sense, although there have always been grain trucks to the north, full of grain trucks to transport away, but at the same time as transporting grain, there are also continuous convoys from the west, south, and east to transport over.
As long as it is within a reasonable range of losses, and Yusheng's team of grain collection is endless, Zheng Zhilong and the others have never seen a stop here in Lizhuang.
Li Zhuang, Tiancheng Acropolis, Xinping Fort, there are hundreds of rooms everywhere to calculate the large granary, Tianchengwei's granary is afraid to be built into a huge warehouse that stores millions of stone grain.
"It seems that I am not going to Li Zhuang, but to the direction of Tiancheng Acropolis."
Li Zhuang was only ten miles away from the Acropolis, and when the convoy was at a fork in the road, it turned in the direction of the Acropolis.
"Hey, a lot of people gathered there, something happened?"
"It seems that something has happened, and someone is making noise."
Snowflakes were fluttering outside, and a large crowd had gathered outside a village next to the Tiancheng Acropolis.
The people on both sides were confronted, Kong Minxing ignored the noisy crowd, and continued to talk to the people around him.
Kong Minxing just came from Baoding, there was nothing to do there a year ago, he asked Wenqiu for half a year's leave, and came over because of the reclamation of wasteland.
There are a large amount of reclaimable wasteland in Tiancheng and Zhenlu, most of which are abandoned land and low-yield farmland, and some are hilly land and river beach land near the mountains, adding up to hundreds of thousands of acres.
In later generations, these farmlands were reclaimed and are now ownerless fields, plus the land bought by Zhang Han, an agronomic expert like Kong Minxing can be regarded as useful.
This time, Kong Minxing also brought several senior brothers, all of whom had conducted agricultural experiments when he was in Tianjin with Xu Guangqi, and of course they all had fame.
There are some people who are already in other places or as officials in Beijing, even if they are itchy, they can't come, and they can only envy Kong Minxing for having such an opportunity to do such a thing.
"The land here used to be a corner land, and all parties did not come to cultivate it, and it was abandoned for a long time." Kong Minxing pointed to the large barren fields in front of him, and said loudly: "Here we must use the field substitution method to slowly restore the soil strength." β
Xia Xiping was a person who came with the attendant division, and he had always been interested in farming, so he asked, "Mr. Kong, what is the Daitian method?" β
"Here a ridge, plant mung beans on the top, plant wheat under the ridge, first fertilize at the bottom when the ridge is piled up, after the bean wheat is harvested, reopen a ridge, the bottom is on the top, the original ridge is on the bottom, the beans are the best fertilizer field, so repeat a few times, the field is ripe, and the yield will naturally increase. Then ensure water conservancy and fertilization, seed selection, hoeing, removing weak seedlings and other things, and increase yield is inevitable. β
When Kong Minxing spoke, there was almost no one in his eyes, and he talked eloquently, full of momentum.
"Do not think of planting our land."
"Hurry up and go away, if you don't leave, I'm going to beat someone."
A group of green-skinned people were noisy at Kong Minxing, but they were all wearing shabby mandarin duck jackets and holding spears and other weapons in their hands.
These people are just babbling, and no one dares to come.
Kong Minxing and his party did not bring guards, and the people listening to them were either officials or peasants, but none of these green-skinned guards dared to be rude.
Hearing the shouts of these people, Kong Minxing sneered and continued to talk to people about the fat field.
"It's the depths of winter, don't think that this winter is a cat at home, if you want a good harvest next year, winter is also very important, don't be lazy, if you are lazy, you will be hungry ......"
A group of peasants said with gratitude and some fear: "What Mr. Kong said is that we all listen and never dare to be lazy." β
These people are all strong laborers in the nearby village, ninety percent of them are military households, and they are very clear about the group of green skins in front of them and the people behind them, and they are worried about Kong Minxing, and they are also a little afraid.
A person walked out of the crowd, dressed in a big wool coat, with a fourth-grade military attachΓ©'s robe inside, and there was no sword at his waist, only a waist card hanging.
Many people recognized that this was Zhang Qichang, the commander of Tianchengwei, who was less than thirty years old, and had always acted domineeringly.
"Lao Tzu's land will not be sold to him, this is the ancestral property of the family, do you understand, ancestral property? He is so powerful that ordinary people don't dare to mess with him, and I don't take the initiative to provoke him, but I can't let him bully me! Zhang Qichang glared at Kong Minxing and said: "Abandoned wasteland is also land, this land is all my Zhang family's property, what are you, dare to point fingers here." β
Kong Minxing smiled and said, "What am I? I am a lifter, the staff of the governor of Baoding, my mentor is the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu, your brother Zhang Quanchang is the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town, and when he saw me speak, he held his hand and was polite, what do you say I am? You four-grade thing, in my eyes, is a chicken and a bar! β
Zhang Qichang didn't expect to touch this kind of hard nail, and he didn't expect a literati like Kong Minxing to speak so domineeringly, he blinked, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Kong Minxing snorted, turned around, and continued to talk to people about farming, and the people next to him looked at him in a daze.
Zhang Qichang didn't dare to do anything, stomped his feet on the spot, turned around and left, as soon as he left, the group of green skins he forced to come also hurriedly left, if it wasn't for Zhang Qichang's protection, these people would have been taken away or arrested long ago.
Zhang Han and Li Guozhu kept lying by the window and watching, and then couldn't help laughing in the car, Li Guozhu smiled: "These people around Brother Wenlan are really wonderful. β
Li Guozhu said again: "It is also interesting for this military attache to speak, it seems that Brother Wenlan is really powerful here in Datong, and the fourth-grade military attache is a disciple of the general, and I am afraid that you will be powerful." β
Zhang Han smiled: "I actually don't deceive people, but this time I might as well bully and take a look." β
β¦β¦
It was already dark after Zhang Han and his party arrived at the Acropolis, but the garrison yamen was still brightly lit, and there were officials walking around with various official documents, and some people were even trotting to do things.
Regardless of the north and south, there is a lot of investment after the Chinese New Year, and Tianchengwei is a transit center here, so it is naturally very busy.
Li Shenming and others were already waiting in the public hall, and as soon as they saw Zhang Han, Li Shenming split his head and said: "Wei Cundong is waiting in the side compartment, and he is still holding some land deeds, do you want to see him?" β
Zhang Han said: "See, invite him over now." β
There are side compartments on both sides of the public hall, and even the hall is just a patio, Zhang Han is standing under the eaves, there are many lanterns around, and the officials are still running back and forth, leaving twisted figures on the wall.
"The lower official has seen the garrison."
Wei Cundong is over the age of sixteen, and he will retire in a year or two, but this person still has a straight waist, gray hair and strong spirits, showing the good demeanor of a military general.
"Wei Tongzhi doesn't have to be polite." Zhang Han smiled and said, "I don't know what is going on here?" β
"The lower officials know that the adults are harvesting some acres of land to improve water conservancy and benefit people's livelihood." Wei Cundong is not like a pure martial artist, and his speech is also very organized, he took out a stack of land deeds from his arms as he spoke, and said: "Although there are some acres of land in the Xiaguan's family, but each house is much thinner, and there are more than 3,000 acres in direct control. β
"Okay, okay." Zhang Han suddenly slapped a few times and praised loudly.
Wei Cundong had some uneasiness on his face, but he quickly covered it up, and he said, "I don't know what the adults mean?" β
"I mean, Wei Tongzhi is calculating and thoughtful." Zhang Han smiled, and said expressionlessly: "On the third day of the first month of October, you chatted with a few henchmen and your eldest son Wei Shanxu, talking about the matter of Tian Mu, Wei Shan continued to say that Zhang Han is strong, it is better to sell it and buy shares in the Chamber of Commerce, how do you say that thing is as reliable as Tian Mu, in the end, it is appropriate to leave the land in your hands and pass it on to your descendants." Wei Shan continued to say that this may lead to trouble, you said that you might as well have your own plans. β
Wei Cundong's straight back suddenly bent for a moment, and then struggled to stand up again.
Zhang Han glanced at him, smiled faintly, and continued: "On the seventh day of the first month, you invited Zhang Qichang to a banquet at home, at that time, I invited a few colleagues to tell me about buying land, you didn't come at home, Zhang Qichang didn't come, and later found out that you were secretly discussing the matter of acres with him at home. Zhang Qichang was instigated by you, many times to arrest the military households who wanted to escape, intimidated the tenant farmers, when we went to inspect the land, he came out to make trouble, you said that your Wei family is not good now, but the Zhang family still has a number of generals, although you don't have to mess with me, but to protect your own acres, I will not ignore the face of his brother Zhang Quanchang Zhang Zongbing. Today you know that he is making trouble, hurry up to offer the land deed, put aside this matter, and then go back and then instigate him to find Zhang Zongbing to talk about the item, so that Zhang Qichang withstands, and of course your land will be saved. β
Wei Cundong listened almost dumbfounded!
The people on the side all stood quietly, and their eyes when they looked at Zhang Han also changed.
In this era, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are still demonic legends, and people don't know that these two secret services have been abolished, and in the secret front, Dongyu is far above the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Han's level of intelligence collection is far beyond that of Dongyu, and it is the pinnacle of this era, and an ordinary health family like Wei Cundong is almost infiltrated like a sieve, and it is so simple to know what to do.
Moreover, what Zhang Han said was not only about intelligence, but also about people's sophistication...... The theory of Wei Cundong's punishment is too accurate and too heart-consuming.
He Bin, Gan Hui and others were wiping the sweat on their foreheads on the side, and they only felt at this time that they saw Zhang Han's true color, such a person, he actually wanted to get up and down, and deceived him to make a lot of money, it was like lard blinding his heart.
Wei Cundong thought of Han Qi's death at this time, and there were some vague rumors, Zhang Han is not a good man and a woman, there have been many people who have disappeared inexplicably in the Datong area in recent years, many of them are related to He Yusheng, thinking of this, Wei Cundong's whole body was numb, his knees were weak, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden.
The ground was covered with snow, Wei Cundong couldn't care about it so much, he met again and again, and said with a crying voice: "My lord, Xiaguan is simply dizzy, doing such a thing is really self-defeating, begging the lord to pity Xiaguan is already old and unbearable, and he is about to die, spare Xiaguan's life, Xiaguan's family has a total of more than 30,000 acres of land, all dedicated to adults!" β
