Not to mention, the Han Palace actually sent someone here.
The person who came was not an outsider, but an old acquaintance, Yang Yu, the king of Xiangcheng.
Originally, there was a difference between him and Yang Ming, but now it's better, the gap is even bigger.
The last time something went wrong, after returning to Jinyang, Yang Yu explained the whole process to Han Wang Yang Liang. He thought he would be scolded, but in fact he was not.
In fact, it's normal when you think about it. How can a concubine fight with a direct descendant? The concubines in Prince Jin's palace couldn't even eat at the table, so he thought it was okay.
Yang Liang has two sons in total, Yang Yu is the eldest son, and the other legitimate son is only seven or eight years old. Because of this, Yang Yu is still somewhat useful now. When Yang Hao reaches adulthood, he can take a break.
Before Yang Yu came to Jiangling, he sent someone to inquire about it. Yang Ming went to Jingzhou this time and took Gao Yue with him.
This guy is so weird...
At the Governor's Mansion, Yang Ming met the other party in the inner garden. He wanted to know what Yang Yu would say to him.
"One family does not talk about two families. My father told me before I came here that half of the Wen family's land belongs to you."
Yang Yu was really happy this time and got straight to the point, which made Yang Ming a little unpredictable:
"Uncle Fifth really said that?"
Yang Yu nodded: "We are all a family, and I'm not hiding it from you. The Wen family is here today because they borrowed the power of the Han Dynasty. But after all, they were former ministers of the palace. My father has always been nostalgic, so Mingdi shows his noble hand, and Tian takes half of it, so people don’t need to be in trouble anymore.”
Yang Ming still felt a little incredible: "Uncle Wu is so willing to give up?"
"Of course, that's your fifth uncle," Yang Yu said with an exaggerated expression: "It's just a few thousand dollars. Isn't it only natural that my uncle will give it to his nephew?"
In fact, Yang Liang didn't explain it like this. He just asked Yang Yu to act cheaply and protect him if he could, and if he couldn't, Yang Liang actually didn't care about Wen's life or death.
The reason why Yang Yu came here was just a formality, in order to let those in the Jinyang General Manager's Office know that he, Yang Liang, was also protecting his shortcomings.
As long as they follow me, no matter how small Wen Shi is, I will protect them.
Since Yang Ming, the king of Han Dynasty, knew what Yang Ming had done in Jingzhou, he had guessed what Yang Ming wanted to do. He wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkeys. As for whether he was trying to deal with the Wen family, Yang Liang never thought about it. , because he expected that Yang Ming would not have the courage.
Now that the words have come to this point, it seems that if Yang Ming doesn't make concessions, it really can't be justified.
But if you give in, how can you talk about your prestige in Jingzhou in the future?
To clean up this one, find someone behind the scenes to plead for mercy; to clean up that one, find someone to plead for that one.
In the end, did you clear up your air?
After Yang Ming thought for a while, he shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Wu. I only deal with people named Wen."
Haha, you have made some progress, and you still know how to leave your fifth uncle? Yang Yu smiled and said, "Brother Ming, it's all that matters. The Wen family is really frightened this time, so just be generous and let them go."
"Then what if I don't raise my hand?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.
Yang Yu said helplessly: "Why bother? They are just ordinary people, why should Mingdi waste his time to compete with them?"
Wen Jia, Yang Ming must do it. This is the first thing he does in Jingzhou. If this thing is blocked, everything in the future will not go smoothly.
But having said that, he had to give the King of Han some face. No matter whether he rebelled in the future or not, they were a serious family at the moment.
The question is, why does Yang Liang, a prince, want to protect a small family that cannot be on the stage?
After thinking for a while, Yang Ming tentatively said:
"What do you think? Half of it belongs to me, and the other half belongs to you."
Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "If that's what you say, Brother Ming, then I'll do as you wish."
Good guy, I really tried you out.
Yang Ming knew that you, a bastard, would not be able to inherit the family business in the future. How could you not be tempted by these fields?
From this point of view, the King of Han also
If you don't care about the life and death of the Wen family, this will be easy to handle.
If I said I gave you half, it’s half? You want beauty.
"That's it," Yang Ming slapped the table and said, "I'll take care of the Wen family as usual, and we'll split it half and half afterwards."
"It can be done!" Yang Yu also said happily: "I live in Guanyi. If anything happens to Brother Ming, just send someone to let me know."
"It's a must," Yang Ming happily escorted the other party out of the general manager's house in person.
The last time the two of them met, they were still fighting to kill each other, but this time they looked like brothers.
The final allocation of the land was secondary, and the main purpose was to deal with the Wen family's rising stars. This would make it easier for Yang Ming to deal with other aristocratic families in the future.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you fight well in this first battle, it will be much easier in the future.
When Yang Yu returned to Guanyi, people from the Wen family had been waiting here for a long time.
Wen Hui personally stepped forward, helped Yang Yu out of the carriage, and said humbly: "Your Highness, how is the situation?"
After Yang Yu glanced at everyone in the Wen family, he smiled and said, "Just take it easy, this matter will only develop in a good direction."
There is nothing wrong with this, things are indeed developing in a direction that is good for him.
Everyone in the Wen family looked at each other, their hearts finally letting go, and their tensed faces began to smile again.
Sure enough, the Han Palace had to come forward.
No matter how arrogant the King of Hedong is, he will not even give the King of Han face.
Yang Yu glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you go back and wait for the news."
After saying that, Yang Yu stepped into the official post, and then he said to the attendant beside him:
"When these people come to see me in the future, they will tell me that I am not here."
After giving the instructions, Yang Yu left cursing, "What?" You don't even urinate and take photos of yourself. Are you qualified to have anything to do with the Han Palace?
As Yang Ming expected, it was impossible for Yang Yu not to be tempted. Although he was the king of the county, his county was Xiaxia County, with only two counties under his jurisdiction.
Of course, this is already very good. If it weren't for the fact that he was the eldest son and his status as a concubine, it would be impossible for him to be crowned king.
The person who will ascend to the throne of the Han Dynasty is his legitimate younger brother. He is not qualified to inherit, and the family property he will receive in the future will be pitifully small and almost negligible.
So I have to take advantage of the present to plan more for myself and make whatever I can.
As for how to deliver errands to his father after he returns, he hasn't figured it out yet. He has to wait until everything is over before he can make up an excuse.
...
Zhijiang County, also known as Zhijiang City, Hubei Province.
These days, the county government's Kuaishou staff are handing out a notice. They first post it at the gate of the county seat, and then spread it to each township to inform the people that the people in charge of the general office will inventory the fields in Zhijiang and all the problem fields found. , all the fields were re-granted by each township.
Now, the people with the most positive attitude are those who are upright in the township, that is, the township head and village head, because they are the ones who confer the land, and there is a layer of oil and water in their hands.
Who wouldn’t be active when it comes to making money?
In the Sui Dynasty, the township was not elected by the people, but by the officials. How to choose?
Choose three or five of the most delicious local restaurants, and then the county government will make an evaluation, how to evaluate, and who will send more money.
Of course, after you are selected, there will be an observation period. This observation period is mainly to see whether you are qualified for this position. If not, then re-evaluate.
Therefore, whenever there is an assessment period in the township, fighting will inevitably occur in the local area.
The government also has a headache. Making money is a small matter, but fighting with weapons is a big deal. So gradually, the township is slowly developing into a life-long system.
That means working in this position until death.
This phenomenon also results in the township being upright and having absolute control over the local area.
Whitewater Village.
The terrain of this village is flat, and it is an open land that extends as far as the eye can see. It has a total of 7,400 acres of open land, of which only 3,000 acres are in the hands of the villagers, and the remaining 4,400 acres have been divided up.
Other
In addition, there are more than 300 acres of Yongye Field. In the Sui Dynasty, Yongye Field was a mulberry field. Because the income was higher, the taxes paid were also higher. However, the mulberry field is permanent. As long as it is allocated to your family, then it will be It will always be yours.
The village chief was not an official. He didn't even dare to fart when someone took over the fields. Now that he heard that people from the general manager's office were coming to check the fields, he and the villagers waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning.
He heard people say that the Chief Manager of Jingzhou was the largest official in their land of Jingchu, and it was said that the current General Manager was still a young prince, the grandson of His Majesty the Emperor.
Since it was the young prince who sent people to check the fields, he didn't have to worry about being retaliated against. Could those who had taken away the farmland in their village be bigger than the young prince?
There are more than 400 households in their Baishui Village, and the 3,000 acres of farmland is really not even enough for food rations.
At this time, a young villager ran back from the end of the road.
Muramasa asked: "The young prince's people are here?"
"No...no..." the villager gasped: "They are a group of foreigners with Songzi accents. I heard...I heard that this is the group of people recently. Making trouble."
"Okay, go back to the village and call people and ask them to bring their guys," Muramasa ordered, "If he is a man, bring him to me and tell them that someone is coming to rob their fields."
This is why he is the village masa, because he will deceive the villagers below.
Not long after, a crowd of people arrived carrying all kinds of farm tools, such as hooks, nails, rakes, hoes and sticks. There were also many strong peasant women, some with their family dogs.
When the Wen family's servants saw this formation from a distance, they didn't dare to come over. They only had some sticks in their hands. Although they hid more than a dozen daggers, they suffered from the small number of people, only about twenty in total. .
There is a village opposite.
"What should I do? This village is also in the same situation. This job is not easy to do," a servant said, looking at the leader.
The leader licked his lips and said:
"What the hell, notices of land inventory can be seen everywhere in Zhijiang County. Our mission is finally over. The situation of others should be similar to ours. We need to withdraw first and contact Manager Liu and the others first, and then look at the next step. How to do it."
Then, this group of people walked away along the way they came.
There are more than a thousand people sent out by the Wen family. These people will go wherever the Wen family's fields are.
Now that we have come to Baishui Village, it means that there is the Wen family's field in Baishui Village.
But the villager didn't know that because people didn't pass by him when they took the fields.
Including the villagers who cultivate these fields, they don’t know who owns the fields. Anyway, someone will naturally come to collect the grain. They cultivate one acre of land for others and can only get fifteen kilograms of grain. If they want more, then they can get more. Give people some seeds.
In Sui Dynasty, natural disasters such as insect bites and rat bites were unavoidable, so the average yield per mu of rice field was only 160 kilograms.
