Chapter 47
Brother Gao has no experience in how to govern a county, but after Liang Yizhang said, his thinking became clear, that is, to let the residents have their own houses, cultivate their fields, make the people have enough food and clothing, and keep everyone safe.

In fact, after the second brother entered the city, he also did the same, but he didn't have a systematic plan in his mind. After listening to Liang Yizhang's words, his thinking became clear.

A Luyi County is really not a difficult task for him.If a county can't be governed, and he doesn't put up an airs and let people see his ability and potential, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get the support of talents.

In Luyi city, because it was burned once by the army, the problem of living is a serious problem at present.

At this time, most of the residents in the city were crowded in the ruins, and the situation in the city was very messy. Brother Gao had asked Wu Shizhao to clean it up, and was going to take this opportunity to re-plan the city.

Brother Gao’s first thought was to burn bricks, but the birth of a brick requires excavation, mixing mud, embryo making, drying, kiln installation, firing and other links. In particular, burning bricks requires coal, and the whole process takes several months. The time, but can not solve the immediate urgent need.

At this time, Brother Gao is still planning to build some wooden houses and tents first, so that the residents in the city and their upcoming family members can have a place to settle down, so that each household has at least one shanty to make do with it and tide over the current difficulties.

But while doing this, the second elder brother also started to prepare bricks. He asked Zhuzi to find quick-clay land, and made the embryos by the river. First, he dried the embryos. When the city walls were rebuilt and houses were built, they could be fired directly. .

It is also possible to use firewood to burn bricks, but this kind of low-temperature bricks are far from strong enough. To burn bricks well, coal must be available.

Brother Gao remembers that there are coal mines in Pingdingshan and Shangqiu, but Pingdingshan is too far from Luyi, and the transportation cost is too high, so he can't afford it, and it's not worthwhile.

The coal mines in Shangqiu are fine, but it seems to be in Yongcheng, which is Liu Heizi's territory. Brother Gao can't help but sigh, he and Liu Heizi are really inseparable.

The matter of burning bricks cannot be realized for the time being. Only when the farming is slack can we have the opportunity to organize a large number of people to do this matter.

Now Brother Gao, Wu Shizhao, and the people in the city spent a few days of work to finally clean up the ruins in the city, and took the opportunity to re-plan the city, dividing it into residential areas, yamen areas, street areas, military camps, and The streets are widened, and drainage ditches are planned on both sides, in preparation for changing the appearance of Luyi.

After the ruins were cleaned up, Brother Gao took an ax and took a group of men to the nearby woods to cut down trees every day. The branches and leaves were used as firewood, and the tree poles were used to build huts, tables, and chairs. .

In this way, no matter the people in the city or his subordinates, they all became close to this captain.

Luyi was originally ransacked, nearly [-] residents in the city had nothing for a long time, and there was no hope, but the second elder brother took the lead in working and recreating, but gradually changed the people's hope for survival.

For a while, the crowd in the city was busy, and the smoke from the kitchen was rising, gradually recovering a bit of vitality.

In the county government office, since Liang Yizhang decided to keep his useful body, and seeing the child, his mood improved, and his old servant took good care of him, so his body recovered extremely quickly.

At this time, in his room, the old servant Yang Cun cooked a few dishes for him, got a jug of wine from somewhere, and set it up on the table.Liang Yizhang invited Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng to give Gao Yihuan a lecture.

"Your Majesty, you escaped from the tiger's mouth, why did you harm the two late-borns, let us lose our reputation and serve the thieves?" Yu Yinglong said with some complaints after toasting Liang Yizhang with a glass of wine.

Sun Yucheng on the side also meant the same thing, but after all, Liang Yizhang was a high official with a Jinshi background. He was dissatisfied, but he couldn't say it outright.

Liang Yizhang's face was a little uneasy. He recommended them to the second brother Gao in order to escape himself, which was obviously a bit unkind.

At this time, Liang Yizhang looked at the two of them, and could only comfort him: "These days, you should have some understanding of this Captain Gao. He is not bad in nature, and he is different from those rogues. The reason why he joined the thieves was also coerced by the rogue , his father, Gao Zurong, is a student just like you, and he was forced to join the bandit only after the bandit broke Zhuangzi."

Yu Yinglong was born in the Yu clan of Kaocheng County, Guide Prefecture. There was a famous person in the clan, that is, Yu Qian, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty. He could not humiliate his ancestors. Forced to be helpless is also a thief, there is no excuse to say. If we scholars are like this, then should the city be guarded? Once the bandits come, the officials can be forced to turn to the thief?"

Brother Gao didn't force Liang Yizhang, but what he was worried about was that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, and he would suddenly sell him out at that time.He didn't want to leave such a hidden danger, and he didn't want to become dependent on Liang Yizhang, so he decided to try to manage Luyi by himself, first bringing together the core team.

At this time, most of the gentry in the world are on the side of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has not been as frequent as it was later, which made some gentry disheartened and did not show that it is about to end.

At this time, Li Zicheng's power is so powerful that he can't attract many students. Li Yan and Liu Jinxing are just recruiters. The second brother Gao is a small bandit with hundreds of people, and the time is really not ripe to accept a Jinshi.

After thinking about it again and again, the second brother Gao decided to let Liang Yizhang go back to the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, if Li Zicheng fails, the second brother will have a chance and a way to catch up with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, if history continues to develop as before, when Hongguang ascends the throne in Nanjing, the Donglin Party and Ma Shiying, etc., in order to control the Nanjing government and exclude officials from the north and south, make great progress in the case, making many officials desperate to return to the north. Perhaps through Liang Yizhang, a group of officials can be recruited.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, by then, the second brother has become a force that cannot be ignored, so that he can become another choice for this group of officials besides the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After hearing what Yu Yinglong said, Liang Yizhang put down his wine glass, "I know what you mean, but after I go back, I will find a way to get the imperial court to recruit Captain Gao. If you help him now, it is tantamount to helping the imperial court."

As Liang Yizhang said, he sighed, "After Songshan was defeated, the imperial court did not have many available soldiers and horses, as you all know. Although there are only a thousand soldiers and horses in Luyi City, I think it is a usable army. If You help Captain Gao to handle the civil affairs in Luyi well, so that he can have the energy to train soldiers, and when the edict arrives, maybe the imperial court will have an extra elite soldier, and you can return to the imperial court."

"Captain Gao really wants to submit to the imperial court?" Sun Yucheng couldn't help asking.

Liang Yizhang had no idea, but he nodded affirmatively, "I talked to him about this matter, and he is willing. You two can see what he did. The other rogues are saboteurs. Looting, but he is restoring the place, he is different from those rogues."

Hearing what Liang Yizhang said, Yu Yinglong and Sun Yucheng's expressions softened a little, and they were silent for a while, thinking that Gao Yihuan was indeed not like a bandit, and they didn't have much choice now, they just needed a step down.

The two were silent for a while, then raised their glasses, "Since Fujun said so, then Wansheng will help him, and wait for the lord to come back and preside over the recruitment."

Liang Yizhang helped his second brother persuade two sour scholars, and he left after a few days, but his son and old servant Yangcun stayed in Luyi County.

This is not because Gao Yihuan intends to keep a hostage, but because Liang Yizhang is not optimistic about the situation after returning.

Guide was captured by bandit soldiers, and the soldiers threatened Fengyang directly. The court did not dare to do anything to Liu Liangzuo, who was self-respecting and might make him bear the responsibility of losing the land, so he dared not bring his son back.

At the south gate of Luyi, Brother Gao stood on the tower, watching Liang Yizhang's back leading a donkey out of the city, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

Most people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but for the ideal of saving the country in his heart, Liang Yizhang jumped into the fire pit without hesitation, knowing that going back might be dangerous.

Brother Gao couldn't help but sigh when he thought that he might be doomed to fail and that the Ming Dynasty would eventually collapse.

"Second brother, are you really letting him go like this?" Seeing Gao Yihuan's expression, Zhao Zhuzi knew that the second brother Gao had persuaded Liang Yizhang all the way, serving tea and pouring water as if serving his ancestors, but he didn't expect Liang Yizhang to be moved in the end. Angrily said: "How about I tie him back."

Gao Erge let out a sigh of relief, "Forget it, it's not sweet to be so forceful, maybe it won't be long before he will come to the door by himself."

When the world is in chaos and the barbarians go south, as long as he is strong and can become the hope of the Han people and people of insight in the world, then a lot of talents will come to his door.

Thinking of this, Second Brother Gao cheered up, suddenly smiled and waved: "Come on, follow me back to see the brat~"
