On November 28, Zheng Xunrui and his entourage returned to Nanjing.
After eating, Yang Yi and Gu Menglin said goodbye to the two, they still have to visit some friends, and after staying for a day or two, they will go home, and it will be the month of Layue, and they will also go home for the New Year.
Zheng Xunrui took Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xinyu, and was also ready to go home, this time he went out to travel, a full two months, to Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Fengyang and Chuzhou and other places in Nanzhili, the harvest is still a lot, and it is the happiest to go home safely.
On the way back, Yang He has been with Zheng Jinhong all the time, and I don't know what the two said.
After saying goodbye to Yang Tingshu, Zheng Xunrui rode in front, and Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xinyu followed behind.
Soon, Zheng Jinhong came to Zheng Xunrui's side.
"Young master, Yang He asked me to send a message to the young master, he thought of the young master's side and didn't want to stay in Jingying."
"Oh, Yang He is a soldier, how can I take him in, his household registration is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, where can I call the shots."
"Yang He said, as long as the young master tells Yang Gongzi about this matter, he will definitely be able to do it."
Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, indeed, Yang Tingshu's grandfather Yang Cheng is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, there must be no problem in making such a small decision, the key is that this Yang He was personally selected by Yang Cheng, and his ability is indeed good, Yang Cheng is not willing to let go, although he has an unusual relationship with Yang Tingshu, but Yang Tingshu may not be able to move Yang Cheng, in this era, the elders have absolute authority at home, not to mention the official family.
After Yang Tingshu returned home, he went to report the harvest of his trip to his grandfather as soon as possible.
Yang Cheng listened very carefully, especially when it came to Zheng Xunrui, even if it was a detail.
Yang Tingshu talked about Zheng Xunrui's understanding of forming associations and forming parties, Yang Cheng asked several times, and almost knew every word and word that Zheng Xunrui said, and asked Yang Tingshu to write down these words.
"Huaidou, I didn't have direct contact with Qingyang, but his cousin in Suzhou, I still know some, after listening to what you said, I was more impressed, I said you a long time ago, don't join any Ying Society, you look at Qing Yang, younger than you, but you have such a deep understanding of association and party, it's not simple, fortunately Qing Yang has affected you, so that you have the idea of quitting Ying She, I support you, the emperor hates his friends, and the cabinet ministers are adjusted like a marquee, almost all of them involve the eunuch party, you will also enter the court in the future, if you are involved in the eunuchs, your own loss is a small matter, and it may implicate your family. โ
Yang Tingshu's face turned pale, he didn't think of it so much, mainly thinking about Zheng Xunrui's evaluation of forming parties and associations.
"Qingyang is not simple, at a young age, he actually has such a far-reaching understanding, I didn't expect it, this trip, you and Qingyang get along for two months, presumably your relationship is very good, about the evaluation of the formation of parties and associations, about the views of Zhang Pu, Yang Yi and even Qian Qianyi and others, if it is not a special relationship, Zheng Xunrui will not say, this kind of relationship, you must continue."
Just as Yang Tingshu stood up and was about to leave, Yang Cheng spoke again.
"Huaidou, there are three things, you can sue sรน Qingyang in private, the first thing, Yang Hao, the former right attendant of the military department, was imprisoned in prison because of the defeat of Salhu, and was killed by the imperial court at the end of September, the second thing, the right governor Mao Wenlong was beheaded by the military department Shangshu, the right deputy governor Yushi, and the Jiliao governor Yuan Chonghuan for collaborating with the enemy, and the third thing, Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, came back and was still guarding Liaodong."
Yang Tingshu showed a strange look on his face, these are all things in the imperial court, what is the need to tell Zheng Xunrui.
Seeing the expression on Yang Tingshu's face, Yang Cheng sighed slightly.
"Okay, you just do what I say, in other aspects, you don't need to ask so much, it's less than nine months before the township exam, your main experience has to be put on the academic side, if the township exam can't be in high school, I can't spare you."
Yang Tingshu didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly exited the room.
After returning home, Hong Xinyu met Zheng Fugui, Ma and Sun and others, met Zheng Kaihua, and quickly figured out the basic situation of the Zheng family.
During the evening break, Hong Xinyu came to Zheng Xunrui's bedroom.
"Xin Yu, after returning home, don't be so polite, this is your home, and your monthly salary in the future will be the same as Zheng Jinhong's, which is also ten taels of silver."
"The little one can follow the young master, he is very satisfied, and he doesn't dare to look forward to so much silver."
"There is no need to dispute this, a few days ago, you came to my side in a hurry, and some things were not so detailed for a while, but now I think about it, there are a few things, I want to ask you, you have to answer so."
Hong Xinyu nodded.
"The first thing is that your hometown has suffered a three-year famine, presumably for three consecutive years without harvest, and you have to pay taxes, so it is difficult for you to support it, and you go out to find a way out, is this the situation?"
"Yes."
"The second thing, since your hometown has suffered such a great famine, it must not be your family's situation, and the entire village and town must be caught in it, except for those gentry and rich families, of course."
"Yes."
"The third thing is to tell me how many households there are in your village, how many people have suffered from famine, and how many people have been forced to leave their hometowns, the more detailed the better."
Hong Xinyu looked at Zheng Xunrui and found that Zheng Xunrui's face was very stern.
"Back to the young master, the small hometown is called Hongjiabao, there are a total of one hundred and seventeen households, of which one hundred and fifteen families are surnamed Hong, all of them are families who practice martial arts, after three years of disasters, the original stored food has been eaten, and every household can not bear it, many people have gone out to find a way, in fact, it is not possible to go out, there is no way to guide it, the government will track it down, and if it is not good, it will be lost, and if the small family does not get the help of the young master, I don't know what the outcome is."
Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly.
"This is my inconsiderate thinking, I didn't expect it at the time, so let's go back tomorrow, tell the old man, let all the 117 households in Hongjiabao move to Guli Town, Jiangning County, and rent land at my house, this disaster doesn't know how long it will last, if it is still a disaster next year, wouldn't there be no way to live, the climate in Jiangning County is better, here to farm, you can always think of a way, although this move makes Hongjiabao people leave their homes, but this is also no way to do it."
Hong Xinyu's eyes widened, looking at Zheng Xunrui, he thought that he had heard it wrong, all the 117 households were relocated to Jiangning County, it was not a trivial matter, Zheng Xunrui had no obligation to help the people of Hongjiabao.
"Things are settled like this, so many households, want the government to open the way, it is also unrealistic, Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from Jiangning County, it takes at least 20 days on the road, you bring ten taels of silver to each family, so that you can cope with all the expenses on the road, after arriving in Jiangning County, each family will receive ten taels of silver, for building houses, maintaining life, as for how to arrange in the future, the next step."
For three days and four nights, Hong Xinyu almost didn't rest and rushed back to Hongjiabao.
Seeing Hong Xinyu riding an Arabian horse back home, the old woman's face was not good-looking, but after Hong Xinyu said the reason for coming back, the old woman fell into deep thought, and in just half a day, the old woman asked Hong Xinyu to invite several prestigious old people from Hongjiabao.
The old woman's expression was completely different from when she met Zheng Xunrui and others, with gold and silver, she did not just take care of her own family, but bought fifty stone of grain, returned to Hongjiabao, and distributed most of the grain to each family, in this case, most of the people went home one after another.
The old woman's prestige rose in an instant, and she had some authority before, and now her words counted.
"Folks, what the old man said, you all know, where does this food come from, you know even more, the people of Hongjiabao are all people who practice martial arts, people who practice martial arts have kindness and revenge, grievances and grievances are clear, Zheng Gongzi is the biggest benefactor of Hongjiabao, but also considering the future of Hongjiabao, let all households move to Jiangning County, Xiao San'er brought back more than 1,000 taels of silver, ten taels of silver for each family, even if it is a person who is unwilling to relocate, after getting ten taels of silver, Zheng Gongzi is not reluctant, After arriving in Jiangning County, each family will be given ten taels of silver to settle down, such kindness, the old body does not know how to repay, the old body's opinion, all the households moved to Jiangning County. โ
In the eyes of the old woman, there was a glimmer of light, there is no free lunch in the world, Zheng Gongzi must have thought about it, but thinking of meeting Zheng Gongzi on the road, looking at the treatment Hong Xinyu received, the old woman believed in Zheng Gongzi.
No one objected, the disaster for three consecutive years made everyone lose confidence, it doesn't matter if they move to Jiangning County, people who practice martial arts are all over the world, and their ancestors are like this, and now it is not a big deal to move again.
According to the unified requirements, it was necessary to rush to Jiangning County before December 24, and the old and weak women and children all took carriages, and the young and strong were on foot, which was regarded as an ordinary exercise.
Hongjiabao has a lot of population, and the continuation of the martial arts practice has made most of the people's bodies very strong, and the conditions here in the past few years are good, and there are many women who have married in, so this relocation, although there are only one hundred and seventeen households, but the formation is still not small.
