The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 185

This year, [-] shi of grain will be used to do good deeds. After five or six months, the Huang family will receive [-] shi of wheat.

Even if the market price was two taels of silver a stone when the wheat was lent out, the price fell to one tael of silver a stone when it was put into storage.

Huang Han didn't think he had suffered a disadvantage, as long as the total amount of food hoarded every year was growing positively, it was a victory.

Because in history, the year of Chongzhen was not as good as the year. In the end, food is life, which cannot be measured by silver.

This win-win approach made Xu Guangqi amazed again. Scientists will settle accounts, knowing that Huang Han lost a good opportunity to sell his grain at a high price to make black-hearted money by doing so.

In his heart, he has gradually liked this garrison officer who regards money as nothing, and sincerely wants to help his disciple.

The first scientist who opened his eyes to see the world is completely capable of independent thinking and good at accepting new theories.

He agrees with and accepts Huang Han's theory, "To do good deeds within one's ability, to achieve sustainable development, and to make more money and food for doing good deeds every year is the best way to do good deeds."

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye, Huang Han and Xu Guangqi got along day and night, learned about the current state of technology in this era, and gained a lot of insight.

When Xu Guangqi learned that Huang Han wanted to smelt steel, he was very enthusiastic. He wrote to his disciples and old officials in the Ministry of Industry to find a group of skilled craftsmen to work in Huang's house.

The scientist thought that he had benefited a lot from being with Huang Han for more than ten days, and wondered why this young man was so knowledgeable?

He saw with his own eyes that the orders issued by Huang Han, without exception, did not fully consider the livelihood of ordinary people in Shengdou. He also saw that Huang Han didn't pay much attention to food and clothing. Serve in a pot.

I have never seen such a general before. Xu Guangqi thought that he had found a treasure. Of course, he did not avoid relatives. He decided to recommend Huang Han for promotion when he returned to the capital. At least let him be in charge of one army and one place. .

He didn't forget Zheng Guochang's entrustment, and he really asked Huang Yizhou to propose a marriage. Seeing that the civil servants came to arrange a marriage for his son, the other party was the daughter of an unattainable feudal family. Huang Yizhou was confused by the good news, and it lasted for three days All in a trance.

Huang Han was feudally married in this way, he has never even met Miss Zheng's family, so he doesn't know how she looks like?Fortunately, the two younger sisters heard the news and told their elder brother how beautiful Zheng Xiu'e was and how well-educated she was.

It seemed that the little girl from the Zheng family was still a pleasant-looking intellectual teenager, Huang Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feudal marriages kill people. If you are unlucky, you think you have become a famous family. Who knows that the bride may be a fool or mentally retarded. Missing arms and legs are already in the category that is not too miserable.

Since Huang Han had already passed the average age of marriage in this era, his parents were looking forward to the bride's marriage as soon as possible. The old man Xu Guangqi went to Yongping Mansion twice happily, and finally set the wedding on the sixth day of December, which is an auspicious day.

Huang Han knew that his parents were the ones to make decisions about marriage in this era, so he didn't care about it at all, and let Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang discuss it with their father and mother. He had a lot of things to do.

By borrowing grain and prepaying the deposit for purchasing potatoes and sweet potatoes, the survival crisis of the surrounding farmers has been basically solved. Next, more and more refugees have to be managed.

Zheng Guochang finally got a part of the relief food given by the imperial court, which was the grain that was delivered to the capital by the southern sea route through Tianjin Wei.

The state capitals in Gyeonggi have received some food to varying degrees, and the relief of the victims is really in progress, so the number of refugees who are currently flocking to Yongping Prefecture is not too scary.

Xu Guangqi saw Huang Han's efficiency with his own eyes, and knew that this closed disciple was full of wit.

In front of Zheng Guochang, he tried his best to recommend that the "Red Banner Army" led by Huang Han be in charge of the relief of the victims and resettlement of the refugees.

Although Zheng Guochang was very busy these days, he was tired but also happy. That was because Liang Tingdong sent a letter, revealing that he might become the Minister of the Ministry of War of the second rank.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty did not necessarily work in the lobby of the Ministry of War, and it could also be a false title. Yuan Chonghuan, who was about to be hacked into pieces, was once the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the right deputy. .

Zheng Guochang was not only happy because he had been promoted to a higher rank, he was even more happy that his son might be given the honor of Juren and promoted two ranks in a row to become a seventh-rank military officer.

There are as many as 200 people in the Ming Dynasty’s supervisory censor and six divisions. Although they are all seventh-rank officials, everyone has direct access to Tianting, that is, they can directly write memorials and submit them to the emperor.

The places where the censors and officials go to work are not necessarily the same. There are these civil servants in the army. Zheng Xiaowen became the seventh-rank military department. Make a small report to the emperor in time.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial court will have a censor and follow the army during the event. It is estimated that Liang Tingdong also considered Zheng Guochang, so he simply let Zheng Xiaowen continue to make military achievements in the "Red Banner Army".

As for the reward for Huang Han, even Liang Tingdong couldn't guess, because the controversy was too great, Sun Dushi had already returned to the court, and the people in Liao Town were led by Zu Dashou on the way back to Liaodong.

Dudu Yuan, who watched a nest of snakes and rats in the capital last winter, was taken down by the emperor and thrown into prison. Zu Shaobao was frightened out of his wits, and he left the capital and ran back to his hometown.

After being persuaded by Sun Dushi, Zu Dashou raised his troops to enter the customs again, and he made great contributions, but this kid has a psychological shadow, and he has made up his mind that he will never leave his army to go to the capital to face the saint in his life, so he does not wait for the court. After the award was issued, he took the troops back to Jinzhou directly.

Sun Dushi, who had won the victory and returned to the court, hated Huang Han extremely, because he was also an old man, and knew that he was secretly tricked by Zheng Guochang.

If he could find out in time that Yongping was taken back by the Ming army, then no matter what, the troops along his way would not be able to easily let go of the Jiannu troops who fled from Luanzhou easily.

But in the end, the exhausted army who had been beaten by his own troops for four days and three nights escaped from the border of Luanzhou, and was beaten by the "Red Banner Army" led by Huang Han twenty miles south of Yongping.

There are so many civil servants and generals in Sun Chengzong's journey, even if the supervisor is going to suffer from being dumb, others will not!

This is obviously Zheng Guochang's group of people playing tricks to pick peaches, and they have the audacity to report to the emperor that the casualties are small and the gains are generous. Don't you know that the slaves beaten by them all worked with Sun Dushi's men in Luanzhou for three days and four nights? It's just a defeated soldier.

As a result, there were different opinions, and the argument that Zheng Guochang's team was not authentic and skidded to take advantage of the friendly army was rampant.
