Chapter 694 The influx of new people
The planned Bianliang City has three gates on the south side.
The first gate from east to west is called "Dingding Gate" - this name is "over the top" as soon as you hear it.
On the right side of Dingdingmen Street is the old county seat of Junyi County. On the left side, the first square from south to north is called "Xuanjiao Square".
More than 100 homes are planned in the square, which are already occupied and have obtained building permits.
On March 20th, the sky was a bit gloomy, and drizzle came on and off.
Tian Cao Zuocheng Yang Ming came to the missionary workshop as a guest.
There is a resident named "Lezhuang" in the square, who works as a junior assistant officer in the Huyi Xiaowei Mansion - when Chen Jin escorted Queen Sheep to Liang County south, Lezhuang was the driver, and Yang Ming was the driver. People from distant branches of the Yang clan have very good relations.
"The queen gave birth to a baby boy." After entering Le's house, Yang and Le left the rest of the crowd and sat across from each other chatting about the new things they had heard.
"It's not easy for Queen Hui to survive for so many years. In fact, she is about the same age as Mr. Liang, so she is suitable for a long-term companionship." After Lezhuang said this, he apologized, got up and went to the front yard to get it. Some dried fruits and a jug of wine.
"Oh? Bianliang Chun?" Yang Ming poured a small bowl, smelled it, and asked with a smile: "Where did you get the money?" It's inconspicuous, but it actually has a lot of benefits. "Lezhuang said: "In the first month, Duan Mobo gave me two horses, five cows, and fifty sheep. I didn't know where to put them, so I finally found an acquaintance to help sell them. "
"You are an eighth-grade official and don't want to buy a house?" Yang Ming asked.
Lezhuang pointed to the house and said: "Other people have money to build a house, but they can't get the land. I have no money. The queen still remembered the old things and mentioned it in front of Mr. Liang. That day I got the land at night and didn’t pay for it. I’m so stupid. Without the gift from the queen, how could I build it with my savings?” br>
Being an eighth-rank official in the Huyi Xiaowei Mansion and owning a house in Lifang, Bianliang, the horseman Lezhuang can be said to have jumped up the ranks and established a firm foothold. He has obtained things that others cannot get in their lifetime. The reason was just that he became a driver at a critical moment that year.
This is opportunity.
"If you are short of money, I will lend you some." Yang Ming said.
Although he is from the Yang clan, the Yang family is too big. After more than a hundred years of inheritance, it is impossible for everyone with the surname Yang to be rich and noble, and there are also three, six or nine grades within the family. Unfortunately, Yang Ming is the "nine". For people like him, the main line will be used occasionally. If the ability is not good enough, he will not be as good as Dian Ji, a foreigner in the manor, and there are even people who have difficulty in food and clothing.
Lezhuang is both a groom, a driver, and a guard. He has extraordinary martial arts skills. His status is lower than that of Yang Ming, but it is not much lower. The two have a very good relationship.
Later they were both selected and followed Yang Xianrong to Beijing, and their relationship became even better.
Borrowing money is a small matter.
“That’s fine.” Lezhuang thought for a while and did not refuse.
"Who is building a new house next door to your house?" Yang Ming asked.
Everyone who builds a house in Bianliang City now deserves attention. It won't be long before someone reveals his identity and tries to figure out what virtues and abilities he has, so that he can build a house before others.
“Does Menghua still remember Wang Bing?” Lezhuang asked.
Yang Ming was a little surprised: "It's him!"
"I've heard it too, but I can't be sure." Lezhuang said, "Xuzhou Mi Shijun is a loyal elder, the Wang family of Donghai When I came to him, my heart relented, so I helped negotiate with him. During the Tianshi Dao rebellion a while ago, Wang Bingqin led three thousand troops to the north and fought four battles between Donglai and Changguang, capturing and killing thousands of demons. The act of self-efficacy was forgiven by Duke Liang. "
It is definitely much better to take the initiative to take effect than to be forced to do so.
In the past, Liang Chen, the lieutenant of Nanyang, was beaten to the end, and he committed suicide in front of the army in Beicheng, Heyang. He died in battle within a few months.
Wang Bing took the initiative to take the action of his family, but he was much better than Liang Chen.
"How do you know?" Yang Ming couldn't hold back.
As Tian Cao Shangshu Zuo Cheng, he has never heard of it. How do you know?
"In the past ten days or so, many people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou have come to Dingdingmen Street. You will know if you ask around." Lezhuang said with a smile: "When Liang Gong married a wife, many ethnic groups from Xuzhou came. People. There was even a penniless rich man who sent his clan members to give him gifts. Duke Liang still remembers this. This time, he selected 200 elite soldiers to join the army, and Duke Liang directly assigned them to Luoyan. Army, and promised to buy land and a house in Xuanrenfang in the north."
After thinking about it, Yang Ming sighed: "The Daoshi will join the camp."
Liang Gong got married. It makes sense that someone from Xuzhou would come to give gifts, after all, they are members of the township party. But you, a small local tycoon, can't compete with Mr. Liang, so why are you here to give me a gift? Are you qualified to give gifts?
Because this matter was widely circulated and discussed by many people, it was relatively rare, so Liang Gong remembered it. Mrs. Yu probably also made fun of this matter, and the opportunity suddenly came.
I have to say that some people really sharpen their heads and work hard, I admire them.
"Liang Gong is from Xuzhou, so he will definitely reuse Qingxu scholars." Lezhuang said: "There are already many Donghai people in Liang Palace, and there will be many Qingxu people in Bianliang in the future. Tian Cao King Shangshu comes back Right? "
Tian Cao Shangshu Wang Xuan, an authentic native of Xuzhou Langya country, has great influence in Qingxuzhou. After Qingzhou was pacified last year, Wang Xuan stayed in the town for a long time, and his main job was to win over Qingzhou's wealthy families.
Can’t you see what Mr. Liang was thinking when he made such an appointment? "When I came back, I also brought with me a lot of Qingzhou 'junyans'. Each of them has a good foundation and must be hired based on their talents." Yang Ming said: "On the contrary, most of the disciples who came to Bianliang with Yushi Youcheng Wang Pou were from humble backgrounds, powerful people and even poor people. . This old man is quite interesting. Maybe he thinks that the helpless disciple will be more grateful for his help, which will be beneficial to his family in the future."
Lezhuang nodded slowly, and then sighed: "Liang Gong's territory is getting bigger and bigger, but the power of the generals and subordinates is getting more and more complicated. Sometimes I can't tell which factions there are."
Yang Ming laughed when she heard this.
If we talk about factions, they are not fully formed. Up to now, they are still slowly integrating and differentiating. I don’t know how many years this process will take to end.
For now, the only relatively clear faction is the Yingchuan faction. The Hebei faction is actually a little fuzzy, not cohesive enough, and relatively loose.
The new arrival of Liang Fen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is still in the process of integrating the Kansai scholars, and it is still early to form a faction.
Nowadays, a large number of Qingxu scholars have poured in, and this faction is even just a sprout.
The above is still divided by region.
If we divide it by people, Yu Chen and Lu Zhi may have some partisans.
Wang Yan also has one, but half of his followers are in the Luoyang court and half are in the General's Mansion, which is not as good as the previous two.
If further divided according to their origins, they can be divided into the Liang Gonglaoren faction, the Sima Yue old tribe faction, and the "foreign relatives" faction.
If divided according to job title...
It’s too much trouble, why bother?
The only thing that is clear is that Liang Gong is the arbiter recognized by all forces. There is no second-ranking figure within the Bianliang military and political group. Once Liang Gong is unfortunate, no one will be able to take over this huge force, and it will only fall apart.
People like Yu Chen, Lu Zhi, Wang Yan and others can deeply understand this, so no matter what, they are willing to sit down and talk with Liang Gong.
No one can afford the consequences of fragmentation.
"Don't think too much." Yang Ming took a big sip of wine and said with a smile: "The matter of the queen giving birth to a child is extremely important. Don't spread it outside. Duke Liang wants to be shameless, and the queen is not serious. If anything happens to Mrs. Sheep, someone from the Sun family in Le'an will come to Beijing in a while. Please contact me."
"Why don't Menghua come by yourself?" Zhuang Qi said.
"Inconvenient." Yang Ming said with a bitter smile.
Lezhuang understands.
The Sun family of Le'an is the maternal clan of Queen Hui, and is considered an important fulcrum of Taiyang in the Qingzhou area. But this family is not so much a member of the Taiyang clan, but rather the help of Queen Hui and the Yang clan.
The Sun family of Le'an did not kill the third queen Wang Jun who had married her. This is because the big family has this confidence.
However, they intervened in Hebei through their in-laws, the Leling Shi family, etc. This group has assembled four to five thousand soldiers and horses, and went north to command Li Zhong to suppress the rebellion in Hebei. Yes, there were nobles in Hebei who were dissatisfied with Liang Gong's promotion. The status of a warrior leads to rebellion in anger.
After hearing that Liu Kun fled to Tuoba Xianbei territory, he was afraid of being killed, so he sneaked back to Zhongshan, recruited troops, and tried to do something.
In general, the situation in Hebei is not as stable as the year after Shile was pacified.
Liang Gong did not have any direct troops in Hebei. They were all soldiers recruited from various wealthy families. This situation seemed to allow Shi Le to see an opportunity and ambitiously tried to return to Changshan.
At this time, it is necessary for these relatively close descendants of the wealthy family to take the initiative to share the worries for Mr. Liang. For these wealthy families themselves, it is actually a rare opportunity.
After Yang and Le drank a pot of wine, they parted ways.
Sheep Ming rode a donkey, heading north along Dingdingmen Street until he reached the north bank of Daliang Canal before turning west.
I did hear a lot of Qingzhou and Xuzhou accents along the way.
These people gathered in groups, looking around at this huge city that was in the process of being built, and marveled at the wooden signs erected everywhere, which often stated where this place was.
A capital city with a very formal political power, which made their expectations even higher.
The first stop for Qingxu scholars after coming to Bianliang was often the royal residence located in Shangshanfang, which was the residence of Tian Cao Shangshu Wang Xuan.
