Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 283 The militia scolded the governor

"grown ups."

Captain Zhang got on his horse and came to Sun Chuanting, and he was with Sun Chuanting. At this moment, Sun Chuanting sat upright, without looking sideways, and said, "How?"

Xiaowei Zhang said: "I have found out clearly that they are the militiamen belonging to the former Yangzhuang Town of Chang'an County. The so-called militiamen are somewhat similar to the guard system set up by the Taizu. They usually do farming, but they will take two days out of every seven days. Conduct militarized training."

"Affiliated to Yangzhuang Town? That means they have militarized organizations like militias in almost every village and town?"

Sun Chuanting frowned, Zhang Xiaowei said: "Yes, and Yang Lidong told me that their Yangzhuang Town is a small village with only [-] militiamen, and some larger villages and towns have thousands of militiamen."

"Thousands."

Sun Chuanting frowned and asked, "How many villages and towns are there in Lantian County?"

Zhang Xiaowei said: "Let's say less than two or three hundred."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting took a deep breath: "Two or three hundred militiamen in each village can range from three hundred militiamen to as many as a thousand. Calculated in this way, there are at least 20 militiamen in Lantian, or even 20, or [-] militiamen. Well-trained, not weaker than the frontier army and the northern Shaanxi rebel militia stationed outside Xi'an, how can Sun Wangzu, the magistrate, sleep peacefully."

Sun Chuanting clenched his fists and cursed: "Yang He wronged the country, and he deserves to die; Hong Chengchou wronged the country, the crime should be lingering!"

After listening to Sun Chuanting's murderous words, Captain Zhang said, "Lord Governor, what should we do?"

Sun Chuanting said dejectedly after hearing the words: "What else can we do? Now Lantianwei is too big to lose, and its strength is even far beyond imagination. This is what they want to show us now, and what they didn't show us, they don't know how much? What can we do?" , we can only watch, we can't even offend Lan Tian, ​​let alone report on Lan Tian, ​​we will even cover up for Lan Tian when facing His Majesty in the future, otherwise, if His Majesty gets angry and starts a war with Lan Tian, ​​Lan Tian will have more than a dozen 20 people in an instant Thousands of soldiers who dare to fight, at that time, Shaanxi was still a big Ming Dynasty."

"The turmoil caused by this is likely to destroy Daming forever. Now it's too late to deal with Lantian."

Sun Chuanting said sadly: "Drink poison to quench thirst, drink poison to quench thirst."

That's right, he is going to drink poison to quench his thirst now, and he has no choice but to drink poison to quench his thirst. In fact, since he is going to visit Lantian, he has to report to the Lantian people in advance, and he needs approval before he can continue. In Lantian's eyes, the governor is just a fart, and it is useless at all.

Thinking about it, Sun Chuanting couldn't help feeling depressed, and he took out Yang He and Hong Chengchou's [-]th generation of ancestors and insulted them. If they hadn't allowed Lantian to grow bigger, why would this be the case?
Sun Chuanting hated him deeply, but there was nothing he could do about it. The thief had become a force, and he, Sun Chuanting, was helpless.

In fact, when he left Beijing, he had already made the worst judgment on the situation in Shaanxi, but no matter how bad he was, he never thought that there was such a terrifying poisonous dragon hidden under the muddy water in Shaanxi. According to the memorandum, there is generally only one evaluation for Lantian, which is a big taxpayer.

It is the most important link to support the overall situation in Shaanxi. Without Lantian, the situation in Shaanxi is a piece of shit. Soldiers can’t even pay for food. The army carried out annihilation, and then arrived in Shaanxi. I was surprised to find that Lantian turned out to be a fierce tiger hiding in the deep mountains. You didn't need you to develop them at all.

And they didn't take you Shaanxi governor seriously at all, thinking about Sun Chuanting made me angry, but there was nowhere to vent my anger, I could only be incompetent and furious, not even right now.

Sun Chuanting walked forward with a gloomy face, crossed Baqiao, and walked twenty miles, Sun Chuanting was shocked by the big reservoir in front of him, and quickly asked Zhang Xiaowei to ask Yang Lidong, where is this?
Yang Lidong looked at the large reservoir in front of him and said, "This is the Chang'an large reservoir."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked at the vast ocean in front of him, and was inexplicably shocked. The reservoir was so big, it was like a big river. There were boats on the water, and there were many people fishing.

Building such a large reservoir will cost a lot of money and people?

Sun Chuanting thought about it, Zhang Xiaowei asked for help, but Yang Lidong said proudly: "Toiling the people hurts money. What kind of labor is it? What kind of wealth is it? Every Dali in Lantian has one of these reservoirs, and every village and town has a small reservoir connected to it, and these reservoirs guarantee [-]% of the irrigation needs of our people in Lantian.”

"With these reservoirs, we are not afraid even if we encounter a disaster year. In drought, we will use the water from the reservoir to irrigate the farmland. Floods are even better. They can store water for our reservoirs. We generally do not have floods in Shaanxi. We have all Only by relying on this reservoir can the weather be smooth."

As Yang Lidong said, Sun Chuanting stared at the reservoir in front of him. He really couldn't imagine that there are many such reservoirs in Lantian. Relief with work. Relief, this is definitely not as simple as an idea, and even put this plan in front of most officials of Ming Dynasty, they couldn't do it.

First of all, where did the food come from in the disaster year, and secondly, when the victims entered the county, what is the attitude of the local tyrants, whether there will be conflicts, or even bloodshed, and other aspects, this is simply a test of the administrative methods of the rulers. Unable to complete such a difficult task.

Yang Lidong said: "Every time we see this big reservoir, we can always think of the courage of the county officials. At that time, there were frequent disasters in northern Shaanxi, and there were military disasters. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced. Almost all other counties Driving away refugees like a plague god, only our county lord waved his hand and said to all Lantian: He wants to give the people a home."

"Then our county lord took out all the food stored by the Li family, and then called on the landlords in the county to take out all the food and distribute it centrally. In this way, we carried through the most difficult years. The big guy was in those years. Two things, building reservoirs and reclaiming wasteland. Only in this way can we have a good life today, we in Lantian respect the county respect from the bottom of our hearts, without the county respect, we would have died long ago."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting didn't pretend to be profound anymore, he looked at Yang Lidong and said, "You said that in the year of a catastrophe, your county officials gathered all the food in the county and distributed it uniformly?"

Yang Lidong said: "Yeah, it was miserable at that time, everyone was hungry, and no one could eat enough for a whole year, even our county lord ate a sweet potato every day, and the whole county was hungry, but that In one year, not one person died of starvation in Lantian County, and no one died of starvation. You don’t know that hundreds of people died of starvation in the next county, and tragedies of changing children to eat all happened in the north, but Lantian did not starve to death. .”

Sun Chuanting was moved when he heard this. He was not a stupid official. He could imagine the scene at that time. At that time, he could guarantee that no one in the county would starve to death. He can't guarantee that he can do it, and he feels that he probably can't do it.

Sun Chuanting sighed in his heart, this Li Chaosheng is definitely a capable minister of the country, if he can loyally assist His Majesty, this Great Ming Dynasty may really be able to rejuvenate and drive out the Tartars again, and restore China, just around the corner, but such a capable minister, what a thief.

Sun Chuanting was full of regrets, but Yang Lidong opened up the chatterbox and said excitedly: "It is because of the contribution of our county lord that our Lantian is in such a grand situation. Take a look at this reservoir. It is the guarantee of the lives of 200 million people in Lantian."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked at Yang Lidong and said: "Since your county lord is so great, he is a greedy person."

"What do you mean?"

Yang Lidong saw that Sun Chuanting's voice had cooled down, and said bad things about our family's county lord, what do you want to do, old man?

Sun Chuanting said: "Your family's county honor is Lantian County honor. Lantian County is only a small county with a hundred miles away, but now it covers half of southern Shaanxi. Wouldn't it be greedy to do so."

"Nonsense, this is our county lord's merciful intention to save more people. Besides, the boundary markers in Lantian were pushed forward spontaneously by our people. What has it to do with our county lord? Our county lord is just kind-hearted and can't bear it." So many people have been oppressed by dog ​​officials."

Yang Lidong retorted, Captain Zhang couldn't see it at this time and said: "You are so unreasonable, your county official is called rescue, and other officials are called squeeze, it is biased."

Yang Lidong looked at Xiaowei Zhang and said disdainfully: "Can you officials not know the virtues of your officials? If they are good officials, we people will move the boundary markers at will. You think we people are stupid. Lantian tax, one mu Now the people in the land only need to pay [-]% of the rent, which is given to the landlord, and the landlord will hand it over to the county government, but what about the government government that you carry? Sixty percent, you really treat us like big animals."

"Okay, you officials charge [-]%, we will bear it, but you don't pay too much miscellaneous taxes, and you don't do anything after collecting the money. As for the reservoir in front of you, have you seen one when you come out of Lantian? Why can't you be an official? Organized to build a reservoir so that the common people can live a better life, but you are officials who only know how to spend money and don’t care about such things, so you still want the common people to remember you well, what a hammer.”

Yang Lidong said angrily: "I won't be angry if I don't talk about this. Governor, let me ask you, who did you listen to the slander to come to Shaanxi and change our county governor without asking any questions? I heard that you used to be in Shangluo When I was a county magistrate, although I didn’t say that we built reservoirs like our county lords and worked for the welfare of the people, he was still honest and upright. Why did we forget about the people when we were promoted, dismissed our county lords, and sent those vampires back? Come back, why do you feel at ease? How much money those officials gave you to let you do this, when you see us people living the hellish days before, are you happy in your heart? Do you have a clear conscience? ?!"

Yang Lidong looked at Sun Chuanting's questioning words, Sun Chuanting turned pale and clenched his fists, but he couldn't refute. At this moment, Captain Zhang was furious: "Bold, you can question the governor too."

"Fuck, how about the governor, even if the emperor doesn't let us live well, we will fight with him to control multiple eggs."

Yang Lidong didn't give in at this moment, Zhang Xiaowei was about to draw his sword angrily, but was stopped by Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting seemed to be old in an instant at this moment, his straight spine was slightly bent, and was stabbed in the spine by ordinary people, which was worse than letting Chongzhen scold him It was even more uncomfortable after a meal. At this moment, he was questioning himself in his heart.

Is it right?The people in Lantian are obviously living a very good life. If I do this, I am not against the people. But soon Sun Chuanting convinced himself that Lantian is only a small part. No matter how good Lantian is, he must belong to Daming, otherwise he will be a traitor. If there is turmoil in the future, these good things will become weapons, and Daming will be in jeopardy by then.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Sun Chuanting came out to smooth things over, looked at Yang Lidong and said, "Don't be angry, the old man was confused for a while, but didn't the county magistrate also change?"

Yang Lidong heard this and said: "You can't be changed, let alone you, even His Majesty the emperor can't be changed. The county magistrate of Lantian must be the county magistrate, and no one can change it. This is not what I said, but what all our people said. I’m not bragging to you, if the county officials hadn’t allowed it, our militiamen would have rushed into Xi’an City to question you, the governor, what you think.”

Hearing this, Xiaowei Zhang secretly wiped off his cold sweat. If this group of guys rushed into Xi'an Mansion, then Xi'an Mansion would really be unable to stop it, but Sun Chuanting looked indifferent, pointed to the fishing boat in the reservoir and said: "What is going on in this reservoir? Is there a fishing boat?"

Hearing this, Yang Lidong looked at Sun Chuanting in surprise, the governor's skill in nourishing Qi is really good, thinking that Yang Lidong has not forgotten his duty, guarding, and being a guide.

"Oh, this is the multiple development policy proposed by our county elders. The reservoir itself is a resource, and fish are raised in the reservoir, which can enrich the lives of our Lantian people. Now our Lantian people can eat almost one meal a month. Two carp produced in the reservoir of our own village and town, and the price is very fair, which also allows us to satisfy our greed."

"By the way, you have a Yuxian Building in Xi'an City, and all the carps used in it are provided by our Chang'an Reservoir."

After hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked at the reservoir, and he recognized Li Chaosheng's development vision in his heart. The reservoir can be developed in multiple ways, which not only enriches the people's dining table, but also increases the county's income. Shangyu's physique will be much better. No wonder when he entered Lantian, he found that there were no sick people like other places. They were all strong and strong guys. With such physical fitness, they were all good soldiers. Lantian can have such a scale, there is still a lot of merit.

Sun Chuanting sighed, got on his horse and said, "Let's go, keep going, I want to take a good look at this Lantian."

After hearing this, Xiaowei Zhang said: "Yes, my lord."

Yang Lidong also waved his hand and said: "Let's go, escort the governor to Lantian."

"Yes."
