Chapter 435: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind

Yang Yi looked at the sixty heads in a mess, and said in a deep voice: "The official is promoted to one level, and he will be given a thousand acres of money, a thousand acres of fertile land, and the first house." Do you still think that Your Majesty has little reward? ”

Seriously, the imperial court has given them a lot of such rewards, which is enough for them to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, the problem is that although Yang Yi did not say it explicitly, the meaning could not be clearer, all this needs to be exchanged for the power in their hands.

If they had been allowed to leave the place where they had lived for generations, and give up the privileges in their hands, they would not have done it in exchange for such wealth. But now, thinking about the tragic scene of thousands of thunderstorms under the city of Pennsylvania, thinking about the inevitability of the toe disappearing in the blink of an eye, they have to weigh their own weight.

If you refuse to obey, with the advantage of terrain, you will definitely be able to cause some trouble to the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a matter of time before it is destroyed.

In this regard, Xian Meng saw it most clearly, in the past, the Great Song Dynasty allowed the existence of sixty fetter states, but there were Khitan in the north and party items in the west, and there was no time to look south;

However, with the demise of Jiaozhi and the construction of one port and two provinces, the determination of the Great Song Dynasty to manage Lingnan has been revealed, and at this time, the Great Song Dynasty must not allow these feudal states to be separated from the centralized power.

Without waiting for them to think about it, Yang Yi had already continued to ask, "Do you still remember what military orders this official gave when you passed Langshan Pass?" ”

Did the leaders of the various tribes really not react this time, as if they didn't give any military orders? Just as they were trying to recall, Yang Yi Huoran drew his knife. "Boom!" With a bang, the sword light was like practice, and a corner of the table was suddenly broken.

"Whoever commits adultery and captive, behead!"

Yang Yi roared in a low voice, and the leaders of the various departments were shocked, that's right, Yang Yi had given such a military order at that time. But he didn't seem to take it seriously when he gave the order!

Don't do it, I just heard Yang Yi continue to shout: "After investigation, the heads of the three departments of Qinzhou, Nanyuan Prefecture, and Xinong Prefecture raped women. Loot property, disobey military orders, and be beheaded according to the law! Come! Let's go down first! ”

The heads of Qinzhou, Nanyuan, and Xinong were so frightened that their faces were colorless when they heard this. He fell to his knees and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "Mr. Yang spares his life!" Spare your life! I'm waiting to be wronged......"

"Wronged? Ben Shuai can't wronged you, where did you rape the women, how much property you plundered, Ben Shuai will find all the human and material evidence for you, so that you can die convincingly. Yang Yi no longer cared about them begging for mercy, and let the soldiers quickly escort them down.

He then shouted: "This commander leads the troops, and orders must be carried out, and if there are adulterers and captives among the soldiers of the various departments, this official will not spare them." Come on! Arrest all those who have been found guilty of crimes! In addition, those lawbreakers who have not yet been found out must also be investigated as soon as possible, and the commander will never allow a single criminal who has committed crimes to go unpunished. ”

The soldiers in the hall responded and left, very quickly. There was a sound of neat footsteps outside the door, which showed that the army was moving.

Yang Yi's face paleated slightly, and then said: "Adults don't need to panic, although Ben Shuai will not let go of a bad person, he will not wronged a good person, you adults have a clear conscience." And why panic? Let's go, let's take a look, I hope that all the adults will cooperate with this arrest and remove those black sheep, so as not to affect the reputation of the adults, which is also for the sake of the adults! ”

At this time, who still has the heart to listen to his false comforts, Yang Yi's sentence "Those who have not yet been found out of the lawless, they must also be investigated as soon as possible" is what they are most worried about, how many have not yet been investigated? Whose head will be found next?

And on disobeying Yang Yishuai's order, but not only this, when Yang Yi ordered to rush to Pennsylvania before the fifth day of the seventh month, only twenty-six people arrived on time, although some of them were indeed unable to arrive in time because of the long distance, but most of them did not go on purpose. …,

Uncertainty, everything is uncertain, which makes people frightened and sleepless.

Xian Meng's heart is like a mirror, Yang Yi is both soft and hard, and the soft hand is to open up wealth and glory; The hard hand is that if you don't choose wealth, you will be given a knife.

The trend of the times, the trend of the times!

At the beginning, Xian Meng saw this general trend clearly, so he sent his granddaughter Xian Lingzhu to Yang Yi's side, hoping to save the Meng family's life at a critical time, and now it has finally confirmed his guess that the Great Song Dynasty is going to take power, who doesn't know the current affairs, this time I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back alive!

Yang Yi took them out of the city, outside the city was already sabre-rattling, Liu Wu's cavalry, Bao Yi's flintlock pikemen were in full array, swords and guns were out, pressed outside the big village of the tribal army, and then sent a small group of men and horses, according to the list of people in their hands to enter the camp to arrest people, if there was resistance, the Song army first fired a warning shot, and dared to resist and shoot on the spot immediately, without mercy at all.

In one hour, a total of 221 people were arrested.

Yang Yi immediately held a public trial meeting, allowing the heads of various tribes and some of the clan soldiers to come to watch, and naturally the people of Thang Long City were indispensable. This public trial is to kill two birds with one stone, one is to deter those leaders who are in custody of the state, and the other is to appease the people of Jiaozhi.

A total of 224 people, including the heads of the three prefectures of Qinzhou, Nanyuan, and Xinong, were listed as guilty one by one at the public trial meeting, and the physical evidence was readily available and could not be denied.

Yang Yi doesn't care what kind of noon beheading practice, among them, 132 of the less serious crimes are exempted from the death penalty, and the rest of the felons will be beheaded immediately after the trial.

Nearly 100 people lined up, and after the three drums, the Song soldiers in charge of the execution cut down their broadswords together, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground in response, like a gourd rolling on the ground, and the entire Thang Long City was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The timid people were so frightened that they exclaimed, and there were many people who were incontinent.

Whether this move is to appease the people's hearts or deter the clan leaders, the effect is immediate, and no one will doubt Yang Yi's determination and courage anymore.

Hundreds of people, say beheaded, although these people are sure to have committed a crime and violated Yang Yi's command, but as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, and when others encounter this situation, they will kill three or more people at most as an example, how can there ever be someone like Yang Yi?

That's it, at this moment, as if an appointment was made, the "second and third masters" of many tribes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and "represented" the vast number of people of all ethnic groups, asking the imperial court to send officials to govern.

This move completely cut off the selfish thoughts of the various leaders, and with these people coming out to make requests "on behalf of" the people of all ethnic groups, the Great Song Dynasty had the excuse of righteousness and could go to take over the governance under the banner of conforming to the will of the people. If these leaders oppose it, it will be against the sky and the people, what good will it end?

After returning to the city, Xian Meng first found Yang Yi to thank the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for his reward, and at the same time offered to let the imperial court send officials to govern the Eight Caves.

Seeing Xian Meng taking the lead, the other leaders rushed to Yang Yi's residence, expressing their willingness to accept the reward from the court, and taking the initiative to ask the imperial court to send officials to govern their tribes.

In this matter, Yang Yi carefully calculated from the beginning, step by step, first forced them to come to Pennsylvania, then detained them, and then lured the tribe to come with generous profits.

This is indeed only the first step, supporting these leaders, does not mean that the people of all ethnic groups are really willing to accept the governance of the imperial court, and when the imperial court really takes over, there must be all kinds of resistance and rebellion.

But that's all for later, the court has a great righteousness, and the heads of the tribes have accepted the change of land and return to the stream, even if there are some rebellions, it is only a question of how to suppress them.

In order to appease the people of various tribes, Yang Yi announced a new decree on behalf of the imperial court: the tens of thousands of "miscellaneous troops" outside Thang Long City would not have to go back for the time being, and the imperial court would hire them to build roads at a price of 120 wen per day. …,

The price of hired labor in Lingnan is absolutely sky-high, you must know that in a big city like Tokyo, where prices are expensive, coolies can earn at most only 100 wen a day, not including food and housing.

These few tribes in Lingnan, many families can't earn consistent money all year round, and now the imperial court is hiring them with forty yuan a year, why don't you teach them to rejoice? Even if they are driven out now, they don't want to go back!

The imperial court is now rich, very rich! This time, it is simply to use money to buy the hearts of the people in Lingnan.

With the pressure of power and the temptation of profit, this series of combination punches down, and the difficult reform of the land can be said to have succeeded most of it.

Next, it depends on whether the officials sent to govern can really govern the local area well!

Give more wages, which is of great significance to the whole Lingnan people's attachment and the development of people's livelihood, and when the construction of "one port and two roads" is completed, many Lingnan people have also entered the ranks of wealthy families because of the income of hired workers.

At that time, relying on these two roads, Lingnan's economy will definitely take off in quality and quantity, and it will no longer be the kind of situation where the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

After doing these things, Yang Yi's whole person is really relaxed, since the Southern Expedition, he looks leisurely on the surface, but in fact, he is always calculating, calculating, calculating various states, calculating Dali, bothering and sleepless; At this point, he can finally be said to be worthy of his conscience.

He was in a good mood, and while walking to the backyard, he chanted loudly:

Spring is not old, and the wind is thin and willow is oblique. Try to look at it on the transcendent stage, half a trench spring water, a city of flowers. Smoke and rain are dark.

After the cold food, the wine wakes up but sighs. Hugh thinks about the old people and the old country, and will have a new fire and try new tea. Poetry and wine take advantage of the youth.

In this early autumn season, Lao Su's "Wangjiangnan" is not in line with the scene, and the reason why it is recited is because Scholar Yang feels that the last sentence of "poetry and wine while the youth" is too good!

Hmmm, isn't it our turn to "poetry wine" now?

In other words, Mu Wanling's dexterous incense tongue is really ...... Ahem!
