Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 148 There is no more sorrow than death

"Get up, folks!" Liu Hongjian took two steps forward to help the old man in the lead.

Four households at the north end of the village walked over carrying a door panel. On the door panel lay Xu Baishun, who had been beaten by Xi Mengen yesterday and was covered in bruises.

Hearing that the imperial court had sent high-ranking officials to deal with Xi Mengen, Xu Baishun stubbornly wanted to come over to take a look regardless of his serious injuries, but he was still late, only to see the comatose Xi Mengen being dragged down.

"You are Xu Baishun? I heard that you were injured by the inspector of Huangzhuang, and you are not recovering at home. Why did you come here?" Liu Hongjian asked.

"My lord, the old man heard from his family that the dog official was executed by his lord, so he wants to see it with his own eyes..." The thief finally got the punishment, Xu Baishun told the truth with a happy face.

"Hehe, you're late, that guy's legs have already been discounted by me and sent to Jin Yiwei to deal with."

"There is a blue sky above three feet. My lord punishes rape and eradicates evil. The old man thanked you on behalf of the 120 seven households of Tangshanzhuang!" Xu Baishun raised his body with his right hand and struggled to kneel.

"Don't move around, let's take care of your wounds. Is there enough food at home to survive this winter?" Liu Hongjian asked with concern.

"My family is okay, but the other farmers... To tell you the truth, all the farmers in the village don't have much food left, but if you mix some grass roots and bark, you won't die from starvation.

It's just that I can't do heavy work, and Xi Mengen asked us to dig the ground, and everyone really can't do it..."

"Is the life of the common people so difficult?" Liu Hongjian murmured.

"Every year is sad, every year is sad, every year is hard, and every year is hard. After the winter, the crops will be harvested." Xu Baishun could see it, as if he was comforting Liu Hongjian.

Liu Hongjian chatted with Xu Baishun for a few more words, and after getting a general understanding of the situation of the farmers, he walked to the center of the square to signal the farmers to be quiet.

"Folks, I am Liu Hongjian, Marquis of Anguo in the Ming Dynasty, and I am highly valued by the emperor. Just yesterday, the emperor handed over all the Huangzhuang including Shuntian Mansion and Beizhili to me to take care of.

This marquis assures you that Xi Mengen is the first to punish all the cruel officials who have bullied the farmers, but it will definitely not be the last!
Folks, I know that your life is very hard, and this marquis is extremely sad to hear about it.

Right now in Daming, there are powerful captives outside looking at our territory, there are thieves and rebels inside who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and natural disasters are frequent..."

Liu Hongjian paused at this point.

"Daming is also very difficult, and it has reached the most dangerous time. You and I should work together to tide over the difficulties. Isn't there a saying that when winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Give Daming three years, and I promise you that after three years, if you don't talk about fine clothes and fine food, at least you can have enough food in winter. If I don't do it, you can go to the Anguohou Mansion to find me, Liu Hongjian question. "

Liu Hongjian stared at the farmers with sallow complexions. This is his guarantee. As long as sweet potatoes and potatoes can be popularized, he is sure to do it in three years.

"Your Excellency, get rid of Xi Mengen, who has been harming Zhuangzi for five years. Just based on this, it proves that Lord Hou is for our common people. I, Xu Baishun, thank Lord Hou here.

What are you bastards still doing, why don't you thank Lord Hou soon! "

Xu Baishun propped himself up and turned to shout at the young farmers behind him.

"Thank you, Lord Hou!" Many farmers knelt down again.

Liu Hongjian's face was full of black lines, no matter how confident he was, and how colorful the future he described, but these people didn't believe him at all. If Xu Baishun hadn't agreed to him first, this would have been a cold scene.

It is no wonder that these households are indifferent to Liu Hongjian's guarantee that they can have enough food in winter?I'm afraid pigs can climb trees!
For generations, the biggest desire of the farmers is to let the children in the family have a full meal in winter. They can go hungry, but the children can't.

It's just this simple wish, but it has never been realized. Year after year, I see the smell of wine and meat from the powerful, corrupt officials, rich families, and the rice tank at home is still empty.

th.

Now you say that within three years, they can have enough food in winter?Ghosts believe you!
"The Marquis plans to build a camp in the western suburbs of the capital, next to the Xishan Daying camp, and needs [-] workers who can build walls, and another [-] strong people.

The moon and silver are all three renminbi silver, and they are in charge of the food. I wonder if you are interested? "

Since the common people don't believe his promise, it can only be shown to them.

At first, everyone just gave Xu Baishun some face, and then agreed with the senior official in front of him, but what the senior official said next made them look at each other in blank dismay.

Build a camp?Take care of the meal?How about three coins a month?
What is the concept of three coins and silver, if you use it sparingly, it can basically feed a family.

"My lord, I would like to go, where can I sign up!" A young farmer walked out from the crowd.

Although they don't know if what the lord said is true or not, they don't dare to hope that the moon is not the moon, because they won't know until a month later, but Guan Fan will definitely not lie.

Otherwise, there would be no food, and who would still have the energy to work? Now is the fallow season. If they can eat the food from the public house, the family will lose one person's expenses, and the children in the family can eat more rice porridge.

As for work?The cheapest thing these days may be labor. As long as they provide food, they can guarantee that they can work until Liu Hongjian goes bankrupt.

"I'm going too."

"I want to sign up too!"

Liu Hongjian was immediately surrounded by many households, but thanks to the support of Niu Zhuang and Li Baida, otherwise the precious silks and satins on Liu Hongjian's body would have to be torn into strips by enthusiastic householders.

When Chen Ming encountered the situation, he ordered someone to set up a table, spread out rice paper, and started to register. In order to allow most households to participate, Liu Hongjian stipulated that each household could only provide at most one strong laborer.

Liu Hongjian appointed Xu Baishun as the new head of Tangshanzhuang, responsible for the cultivation of Tangshanzhuang.

He is only responsible for controlling the general direction, such as choosing good seeds, what crops to plant, when to plant, and how to plant them. These old farmers who have been farming for generations know best.

Those who do everything by themselves are not necessarily good officials, and those who dare to let go are not necessarily mediocre officials. The key depends on the person!
As long as you have sharp eyesight and know people well, even if you sleep hard every day and don't do your job properly, the things you have to do will get twice the result with half the effort, like a fish in water.

The typical example of the former is the current Emperor Chongzhen, while the latter, to be a hands-off shopkeeper, has always been Liu Hongjian's creed.

Otherwise, what fun is there to talk about after traveling through time and working for others?

Leaving a soldier with a small flag for Chen Mingyu, Liu Hongjian led the rest of the people to escort eight or nine government schools to the capital.

There are more than [-] Huangzhuang owned by Emperor Chongzhen, and Liu Hongjian does not know how many villas like Xi Mengen bully the village.

But Liu Hongjian believed that Jin Yiwei's old Liangtou would help him deal with all the ghosts and monsters in Huangzhuang.

And Yan Yingyuan is even more handy in issuing the recruitment order and selecting the new head of the village.

It seems that it has been a long time since I went to the Jinyiwei yamen, overseas affairs have to be arranged as soon as possible, and it is time to hold a meeting for them.

PS: All three pits have been filled in, and there will be another chapter later.

　Thanks to XYZ Shutou for the reward of 100 coins.
