Chapter 746 Digestion (Part 1)
Amid the wind and snow, the city gate slowly opened.
The people crowded outside rushed in and rushed inside.
The gatekeepers knocked and beat repeatedly to stabilize the order.
There are many people, the queue is very long, and you have to check them one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious, and makes people impatient to wait.
"Qi San, where are you sending this cart of juicy winter vegetables?" Wu Commander Li She knocked on the carriage and asked.
A whole cart full of turnips, obviously just picked not long ago, looks very pleasing to the eye.
If you can have a bite of fresh vegetables in winter, what would you say if a god doesn’t change it!
"Send it to the palace. Liang Gong held a banquet for days. Winter vegetables are hard to find. The price is very generous. I can also make a little money." Qi San said with a smile, wearing a raincoat.
“You are really making a profit.” Li She sighed and said, “Not only have the land been divided, but there are also winter vegetables on the divided land.”
"Thanks to Liu Ji," Qi San said.
After saying that, both of them laughed.
Pingyang actually has a large population.
The first time Guang invaded Chang'an, he plundered 80,000 men and women and returned.
Attacking Luoyang, attacking Xingyang and even conquering the grassland tribes brought back many Dingkou.
Coupled with the men and women sent back by generals from other towns, Pingyang is really prosperous.
Liu Ji, the king of Jinan, was captured in Wenxi and was sent to Luoyang. As expected, he would be beheaded in public display.
The wealth he accumulated was confiscated, and real estate such as manors and land naturally had to be dealt with: Years ago, Liang Gong selected 1,200 brave men from the 20,000 warriors from the counties who accompanied him on the expedition. The soldiers turned into soldiers.
This Longxiang Mansion is located in Xiping City, located northwest of Pingyang.
Seven or eight years ago, Liu Cong used his son Liu Ji, King of Jinan, as the general to conquer the west, and built Xiping City as an envoy to live there.
This city is not big. Functionally, it is a military fortress, built to defend Pingyang and serving as its outer barrier.
Liu Ji has a court official, but he often lives here.
When Liu Cong marched south to Hedong, Liu Ji led his army to follow him. He was defeated and captured, and the garrison in Xiping City was also buried on the bank of Sushui River.
Shao Xun decided to make use of it.
After checking Liu Ji's family property, he found that it was possible to place a palace soldier from Longxiang Mansion, so he started to implement it.
Overall, the soldiers of Xiping Longxiang Mansion are really making a lot of money, because everything is "hot".
The banker is a slave of Liu Ji's family, just give him a share.
The land is ready-made, and crops are even grown there, and have never been abandoned.
The houses are also ready-made, and many houses were left behind by the Xiping City garrison who died in the battle.
If you are not married yet and don't mind, you already have a wife and children - the Xiping soldiers who died in the battle left behind countless orphans and widows.
In fact, I don't really mind.
If you want to be a father, you will have children for free. This is labor power, and you will make money.
As for the biological child, isn’t it just a matter of rebirth? What a big deal.
In troubled times, the reorganization of broken families is the norm.
After all, after a brutal war, countless people died, and the government would encourage widows to remarry to increase the population. Therefore, it is a very common phenomenon for widows to marry with their ex-husband's children, which cannot be viewed with normal worldly thinking.
Qi San doesn’t mind.
From a poor family with no property to divide, he suddenly had a wife, a son and a daughter, a decent house, five or six acres of garden, and a garden. One hundred and fifty acres of arable land, as well as a little money and livestock.
Being a proper middle class in Pingyang is not better than going home and being a banker?
In fact, he has thought about it for a long time. His parents are old and in a few years. After their death, his brother and sister-in-law will definitely kick him out. What will happen then? There are only two ways out.
The first is to start a household alone and wait for the Wei County government to allocate the abandoned fields to him, but he is not sure how long it will take.
The second is to be a banker for a noble person, which is no different from selling oneself.
He doesn’t want to sell himself, nor does he want to open up wasteland. Isn’t it good to take over? At least he has enough food and clothing, and a wife to keep him warm.
"Does anyone in your family speak Jin dialect?" Li She asked again as the motorcade moved forward slowly.
"No." Qi San said nonchalantly: "Do you need to know it?"
The two men looked at each other and laughed cheaply.
“This Huns girl is quite diligent.” Qi San added: “She got up early to pick this vegetable, and I didn’t even do it.”
Hearing this, Li She was filled with envy and said : "Hey, I'm not afraid of making fun of you. When I attacked Chihongling, I looked at the rain of arrows. I was afraid that I would die and dodge, but I didn't follow. You rushed very fast and killed two people."
Qi San smiled to himself.
In this world, you have to risk your life to fight. Those who want to take over can be lined up from Pingyang to Hedong, and can they become government soldiers casually?
It is also true that Liang Gong was very generous and would be rewarded for his merits, so the soldiers really fought hard, not for anything else but for their share of wealth.
This wealth may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the big shots, but for people like them who have nothing, their entire lives have been changed.
From now on, he will take root in Pingyang.
If the Hun woman and cheap son at home dare to speak ill of Mr. Liang, they will be slapped with a big ear scraper.
If there is any abnormal movement among the barbarians in Pingyang, just attack them and kill them.
Perhaps this is also Liang Gong’s original intention. So very good.
Liang Gong slept with the queen, the general slept with the concubine, and he slept with the wife of the Xiongnu primary school.
Liang Gong is really the god of our warriors. In the future, he will definitely be sent to Luoyang to sleep with the queen again.
When the snow gradually stopped, Qi San waved goodbye to Li She, entered the Daxia Gate, handed a cart of winter vegetables to the eunuch officials who came to deliver, collected the money and left. go.
Taishan Gao Shan spoke in Donghai dialect with a strong accent and kept giving orders: "The newly arrived winter vegetables will be transported to the East Palace for storage. Send special personnel to guard them. Don't ignore them."
"Yes."
"There are many hypocritical old people in Ningshuo Palace with ulterior motives. We don't want everything to go through their hands. The safety of Mr. Liang is very important. Can you afford it if something happens?" "
"Yes."
"I will be transferred to another place in the future, and I will die if I collide with the nobleman."
" br>Everyone nodded in agreement while secretly cursing.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
This Gao Shan rose to great heights because of his relationship with Uncle Liang. He obviously knew how to speak some Luoyang dialect, but he didn't speak it. He deliberately spoke with a Donghai accent and pointed fingers at others.
What? Is Donghai dialect the elegant dialect of Jin Dynasty?
However, there are many guards, palace servants and servants from Donghai and Lanling in this palace. They are already a huge force and there is no way to recruit them.
The newly harvested winter vegetables were quickly sent to a corner of the East Palace for temporary storage. If nothing else happens, they will be available later today.
The East Palace is not far from Yunlong Gate. The main hall is Yanming Hall, which covers an area of more than a hectare. It was once the residence of Liu Yi, but Liu Can never lived there.
After the four guards of the East Palace were transferred, Liu Yi's situation became increasingly difficult, and many "supernatural legends" emerged, such as the four doors of the East Palace destroying themselves for no reason, the East Palace raining blood, etc., which are quite nonsense.
Today is the first month of the fourth year of Shengui (320). The eldest son and second son of Liang Gong are already thirteen and eleven years old respectively. Of course, they cannot continue to live in the harem. Finally, Liang Gong made the decision to let them live in Yanming Hall temporarily.
The palace people saw the two young masters when they were carrying winter vegetables.
They were surrounded by seven or eight people each, all of whom were generals or nephews of meritorious ministers who died in battle. They were accompanying the young masters to study and practice martial arts. They were practicing rifle shooting at this moment.
The martial artist stood aside and gave advice from time to time.
The officials who taught classics and history were also present, and seemed to be waiting for them to finish shooting the last few arrows, and then return to the main hall of Yanming to study.
The palace people carefully put away the winter vegetables and returned to Yunlongmen.
At this time, another group of people arrived, bringing thousands of sheep. The leader was named Wang Chen, who used to be a regular attendant of Liu Hanzhong, but now he has no position and is just a miscellaneous person.
"Where did it come from?" Gao Shan asked with his nostrils turned upward.
“They are from the family of Shizhong Butai, Qianzuo Sili Chen Yuanda, Sikong Zhuji, and Dasi Nong Zhu Dan.” Wang Chen lowered his head and replied seemingly respectfully.
These few people, like Jinan King Liu Ji, are all characterized as pseudo-officials who cannot be pardoned.
Chen Yuanda died of illness, but his family could not escape the blame. This man made great contributions to the Huns, and he is a hero of the enemy and an enemy of me.
Zhu Ji went to Kansai, and his family could not escape either.
Zhu Dan was once a general of the Forbidden Army of the Jin Dynasty. After being "optimized" by Sima Yue, he defected to the Huns in anger and led them to attack Luoyang. His crime was unpardonable.
Butai, the servant, could have been fine, but he refused to surrender and cursed Shao Xun, so he had to be sent to Luoyang to be beheaded, and his wife and children were turned into slaves.
These four families are all powerful Huns and have a lot of wealth.
Grain, livestock, and money were confiscated to cover the expenses of Ningshuo Palace.
The manor, land, villagers, farm tools, cattle, etc. have been registered. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be sorted out and exchanged with others to build a Longxiang Mansion and house a thousand and two people. Hundreds of soldiers.
The benefits brought by conquering the enemy's country were too great. A lot of Pingyang officials were liquidated. The land, housing, etc. were all ready-made. The soldiers moved in directly with their bags. It was seamless and there was almost no resettlement cost - Shao Xun was there before. Clearing abandoned farmland in Puyang and other places to resettle the soldiers is actually a big expense, because you have to bear the living expenses of the soldiers for the first two years.
While suppressing Pingyang, he was digesting the newly acquired land bit by bit in his own way - when many people were not aware of it.
"Liang Gong has ordered that the sheep be sent to the Forbidden Garden to be raised and used as they please. It's up to you to do this. You don't need me to teach you, right?" Gao Shan snorted coldly and said.
The face of the conqueror is so ugly.
Gong Liang may still be a little more polite, but the following is not necessarily the case for these little people who ascended to heaven. When did the famous Zhongchang Shi Wang Shen suffer such humiliation, he almost fainted for a while.
But he held back, respectfully said "yes", and then led a group of palace servants to drive away the cattle and sheep.
At the same time, I am secretly worried, wait and see how I will punish you after my daughter becomes pregnant with Liang Gong’s son.
Gao Shan didn't know what Wang Chen was thinking, so after looking around for a while, he returned to the Taiguan Mansion.
The Taiguan Mansion has a small warehouse subordinate to it, which receives the grain, meat, fruits and vegetables sent by the Shaofu. It is now full.
Gao Shan was quite satisfied after seeing it.
Today is Zhengdan. In the evening, Liang Gong is going to have a banquet for the generals. Many dishes have been prepared in advance.
Everyone around him looked at him with awe, which made Gao Shan very useful.
Since I followed Mr. Liang, life has been getting better and better.
This small group of them will one day replace the gang in Luoyang and become the masters of the world.
Emperors also need to gather people, and they also need ministers to follow the dragon, and he is the one.
