Chapter 185 There is a big conspiracy

The Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, so everyone is a little tired.

Li Hongji and his men went to Luzhou, and Zhang Bingzhong went to Changsha with his men.

They all seem unwilling to be neighbors with Yun Zhao.

Suddenly, there were a lot of borderless land around Xiangyang.

The officials in charge of suppressing bandits rushed to announce the good news to the emperor, but after the good news, they did not dare to enter these places, saying that they were pursuing the bandits.

Those who dared to rebel followed Li Hongji or Zhang Bingzhong, and most of the people who stayed were the elderly, weak, women and children.

Without bandits and without the court, these old, weak, women and children have such a glimmer of hope for the future.

A group of men in green came to Nanzhang County on horseback on horseback on a cart.

Instead of disturbing the fleeing people in panic, they began to repair the broken county government offices.

They don’t have much staff, so the work of repairing the county government is very slow.

So, some people in green went to find the terrified people, hoping that they could help repair the county government. The wages were not high, so they would replace them with food.

Some people who did not have overnight food at home gritted their teeth.

When they returned home in the evening, they really brought Mizu and Xiaomi back.

So the next day, more people came.

The work of repairing the county government is not heavy, and it also takes care of food. This is a very good job.

Over the years, people can finally exchange some food for their own labor, which is a good thing.

Seeing the child eating voraciously, his wife dared to drink porridge, the head of the family was always a little emotional.

However, the county government will be repaired soon, and I don’t know if there is any such work.

After the county government repaired, many people in green entered the county government directly. They still did not bother the people, but posted notices, hoping to recruit more people to start repairing the broken county town.

This time, people in the county, regardless of gender, age, participated together.

Just when some people questioned whether these men in green could pay so much wages, hundreds of trucks entered Nanzhang County, and under the hands of the people, they put all the full grains into the county government granary.

These men in green, with the recruited people, pushed down the broken houses that were shaky and uninhabited, and picked out all the bricks, stones, adobe and wood that could be used inside, and piled up neatly.

After the recruited people were asked to land a large amount of garbage into potholes and pour it on, they were tamped with a hammer. There were many such plots, flat and tidy, and they looked very orderly.

In late autumn, the people in Nanzhang County were very busy. Although they were busy, their faces were somewhat rosy and less vegetables.

In two months, the county town of Nanzhang County was completely renovated, and even the originally bumpy dirt roads were covered with bricks and stones that were removed from the abandoned city walls.

The weather in Nanzhang County is very cold this year and it is snowing.

Because of the renovation of the county town, each household has some food storage.

However, their work is still not over.

I don’t know where a large group of people came from, but these people are obviously rich.

The clothes were washed clean, the eyebrows and eyes looked clean, and even the hands that were poking out were clean.

The first thing these people did after they arrived in Nanzhang County was to buy land and buy the vacant land that was renovated by the people.

Some people know people. Many years ago, these people left Nanzhang County to flee. Unexpectedly, they are still so rich when they come back.

The price of vacant land is quite expensive. After asking people who have met each other, the price of buying land is astonishing.

After these people bought the land, they didn't even build a house. But a group of people jointly opened a kiln factory at the mountain. When the first furnace of green bricks was released from the kiln, these locals finally knew why they would rather live in a tent or rent someone else's house than build a house immediately.

It turned out that people were going to build a large blue brick house.

At this time, the locals had already recognized that the person living in the county government was the government, and the young man in charge was the county magistrate.

At the same time, when a stone tablet with the words "Lantian" written on it stood on the border of Nanzhang County, the locals finally understood one thing - from the day the monument was erected, Nanzhang County was already under the jurisdiction of Guanzhong.

During the day, people came and went, and carriages were running around with bricks and stones. Houses on the open space were also standing slowly every day.

At night, the county town finally became quiet, but the lights were still brightly lit in the county government.

Chen Pingqing, the head of the Dali Lieutenant of Nanzhang County, said to the Qingyi people in the house with a hoarse voice: "The population statistics album, land statistics album, mountain forest statistics album, and pond and yin statistics album must be completed within three days.

A man in blue hesitated and said, "It is easy for the Lord to say. If the master fled but has these substances in his name, we treat them as unowned substances, and they will find us to ask for them in the future, how should they deal with it?"

Chen Ping said: "In March, after March, we will treat the land without owners. We have no time and no one to check these things. Spring is early here, and we cannot delay spring sowing. This is the focus of our work.

Xiangyang has been ravaged by Zhang Bingzhong, Li Hongji and the government, and all the people have lost their hearts, society has collapsed, and a large number of people have died, let alone economic activities.

First of all, we need to start agricultural production. Sowing in the spring next year is the top priority. With seedlings in the fields, the people will have roots in their hearts. After this season's food is mature, the people of Nanzhang County will be settled."

The Qingyi Ministry said: "The resources allocated to us are limited after all. The family has longed for you to consume these resources so quickly, I am worried that you will not be able to sustain the summer harvest."

Chen Ping gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what we do, it is not as bad as we are now. Only by quickly letting the people see the results can we talk about the future.

Continue to the current development speed, don’t stop for a moment, recruit 100 township heroes from the people immediately. We must quickly reply to the judicial system of Nanzhang County and do it.”

The same thing happened in all five counties to Xiangyang.

If a big city like Xiangyang is not supported by the surrounding prefectures and counties, it would be a dream to develop it.

Therefore, today's Xiangyang City has become Lei Heng's place to station troops.

However, development starts from the surrounding prefectures and counties.

Mao Pijiang stood in the snow and shivered. He jumped on the spot for a while to warm up his body, then put the reins on himself and dragged the heavy car forward with a group of ragged people.

It's different from when he was a donkey before. This time, he was willing to do so. Because he had been used as a donkey for a long time, he is now very familiar with the method of towing the truck again.

This is a matter of no way. The seeds are pulled on the carriage. This thing is extremely precious and I dare not make any mistakes.

He got his job as a village chief in Yushan Academy as he wished, so he had already arrived in Nanzhang County in autumn.

There are not enough animals, so naturally we can only use people to make up.

In the evening, Mao Pijiang, covered in mud, came to his Dongwan Village.

This is a large village. Before the bandits came, there were more than 4,000 people here, but now there are less than 800 people left.

When he first came to Dongwan Village, Mao Pijiang's heart was cold. He didn't even know what method he should use to rejuvenate this village with a glorious past.

Fortunately, Chen Ping, the chief minister of Nanzhang County, is an extremely capable guy. After one instruction after another, he only needs to execute it with all his heart and learn slowly during the execution.

He lived in the dilapidated ancestral hall of Dongwan Village, which was the ancestral hall of the Liao family. Judging from the scale, there were many talents here. Some dilapidated wooden plaques with Jinshi passed the imperial examination were piled up in a mess in the corners, and only the mottled paint on the plaque was still silently telling the glory of the past.

Mao Pijiang was considered an old literati in Lantian County, so he could roughly know the past of famous children in the family of Liao from the words on which plaques he had.

The bonfire was unstable, and his tired companions were already sleeping heavily in the quilt, but Mao Pijiang was not sleepy no matter what.

"In the old days, the swallows in front of the King and Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people. The ancients really didn't bully me."

Some villagers learned that as early as when the Eight Kings came to Xiangyang, the Liao family had already been confiscated by the Eight Kings and had one out of the sky. Not only did they kill the clan leader, but they also killed all the men at home. As for women and children, they were escorted to the army as camp prostitutes.

After finally returning from the king's army, the escaped man from Liao hurried back to the village, but was caught by Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and asked about food and wages. The poor Liao family suffered a great disaster. Where did the food and grass be supplied to the king's army?

Zuo Liangyu's subordinates could not get food and pay, so they tortured the Liao males torture. In less than three days, they all died.

After Li Hongji conquered Xiangyang, the orphans of Liao's family, who had great hatred for destroying their families, no longer believed in the government or Zhang Bingzhong, but joined Li Hongji's rebel army.

When Yun Zhao gave the order and ordered Li Hongji to leave Xiangyang, the orphans of Liao's family also left, and they still do not know their life and death.

Since the orphan of Liao's family had joined Li Hongji's rebel army, he was naturally a rebel. Therefore, his property needs to be confiscated, including their ancestral hall and all the land.

This is actually the result that Yun Zhao wants.

Mao Pijiang knew that since he carefully studied the Land Law of Lantian, he understood that under Yun Zhao's rule, there were no large landlords with a land yield of more than 1,000 mu, or Yun Zhao did not allow large landlords to exist under his rule.

He is trying to destroy the clan laws from the roots.

Now, Li Hongji has gone to Luzhou and Zhang Bingzhong has taken Changsha... Next, these two people can only go east and the other go south.

Thinking of this, Mao Pijiang was shocked.

He finally understood why Yun Zhao didn't destroy Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong in one breath, and also served Emperor Chongzhen respectfully.
