Chapter 705: Living a Personal Kind

Huang Liji's views are different from others.

To put it bluntly, he was the butler of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he was more concerned about the issue of money and food.

Zhang Jingyi said: "What the Zhang family needs is not money and food. If it is supported by money and food, then the task of resettling refugees will fail. These refugees have the strength and are willing to endure hardships. To put it badly, they are called thieves, but in fact, they are the most willing to endure hardships in the world. Such people can never be found anywhere."

Zhang Jing paused and continued: "The reason why they were forced to this point is because they had the strength, but some people didn't even give them the opportunity to sell their strength. They were willing to endure this hardship, but they also taught them to starve. There were even many people, as far as I know, they were willing to starve, but what they could not bear was that they watched their wives, children and parents starve to death one by one."

"Therefore, the essence of retrieval is to give them work, so that they can reliably live, so that they can continue to work and harvest. As long as they do this, it is enough. Therefore... the first thing to resettle them is land! The fertile land in Liaodong is thousands of miles away, and the wheat seeds of rye can be provided by the Zhang family. The cattle and horses needed for land reclamation can no longer be expected to be in the court, because the cattle and horses in the pass are far away from the cattle and horses outside the pass. The forests are distributed to them, so that they can cut down on their own, build houses to keep warm. Each household can open up 300 acres of land. The land belongs to them. It is just that they cannot be bought or sold, but they can be inherited forever."

Zhang Jing took a break and continued: "In addition, the early money and grain were indeed a total of money. This amount really needs to be allocated by the court. However, in my opinion, I still do not adjust the grain, but only transfer money. After taking the money, I can buy grain outside the pass. In the past two years, rye has been promoted outside the pass and a lot of planting. In addition, there are also some people in the North Korean country that can also be purchased, which is enough. In fact, what I ultimately mean is that the court cannot always use relief to solve the problem..."

Zhang Jing paused and said, "With the idea of ​​relief, on the one hand, this natural disaster occurs every year, and the people who have lost their lands will also occur every year, and every year there will be disasters. When will the relief be done? Secondly, are the people who are counting on relief? The so-called possessors have perseverance. What they want is property, what they want is a way out, a way out, a way to support themselves and live a good life."

Then, Zhang Jing looked at Li Zicheng and said, "Brother Li and Brother Zhang are both here."

When Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong heard Zhang Jing call them brothers, they hurriedly said, "I dare not."

Zhang Jingyi continued to speak without hesitation: "After you get outside the pass, it will definitely be difficult at first, but it will definitely be difficult to give you land, grazing, and mining mines to you. You have to go from scratch, cultivate, plow spring, and build your own houses. It will definitely be difficult, but you know the refugees best. I just ask you, are they afraid of bitter cold?"

Li Zicheng subconsciously said: "Don't be afraid."

Zhang Jingyi asked again: "Are you afraid of hard work?"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Why are you afraid of hard work if you don't want your life?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "That's so good..."

Zhang Jing looked back at Huang Liji: "Please give the imperial court a million taels of silver, and I will place hundreds of thousands of refugees. Today I will use my head as a guarantee, and they will never make trouble again."

As he said that, he looked at Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong again, and said with a solemn look: "I will protect you, and you must protect me too. You must be at peace with yourself."

Huang Liji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the millions of silver patterns.

As for the current Ming Dynasty finances, one million taels of silver is actually nothing.

Huang Liji nodded quickly and said, "If Governor Zhang is willing to take on the great responsibility, Your Majesty, I have nothing to say, but... Governor Zhang should not be careless and must be safe everywhere."

This cannot be blamed for this. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he was worried about everything.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Of course I don't dare to be careless. Fortunately, thousands of civil servants were assigned to the Xinxian County. These civil servants have now trained many smart and capable people in Liaodong. They asked them to calculate money and grain, be responsible for clearing the fields, and managing the horse government... and there will be no major mistakes."

Emperor Tianqi said at this time: "When people arrive outside the pass, all races live in harmony. If there are any more horse bandits and thieves inciting chaos or attacking refugees, it is worthy of defense. Originally, I planned to entrust Li and Zhang as commander, so I might as well give special grace to Li Zi as the general officer, and Zhang Xianzhong as the deputy general officer, and be under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong County Prince's Mansion. Okay, I have no more today, so I will discuss the details tomorrow."

So everyone saluted and bowed obediently.

Zhang Jingyi did not stay and was determined to leave the palace and left home for many days. At this time, he was thinking of returning home, but someone said behind him: "Your Highness..."

Zhang Jingyi stopped and looked back and found that it was Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

When Zhang Jing thought of something, he said, "You are in the capital and you don't have a place to live yet. Why not do this? I'll ask someone to take you to the military academy for a temporary stay later."

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong clasped their fists, and Li Zicheng said ashamedly: "We have been in the Ming Dynasty and saw the majesty of the official army. We only realized that we are just ants. If Your Majesty and Your Highness are determined to fight and do not give me a way to live, it would be as easy as crushing an ants. Today, the lives of our brothers and our brothers are still there..."

This is the truth. A smart person can first judge the situation.

Some people still refuse to admit defeat even if they are beaten or say they are not willing to admit defeat.

But those like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong no longer need to fight, and they know the huge difference in strength between them. In other words, the life and death of the bandits is actually just a matter of thought.

Now that I have chosen to recruit you, this is actually giving everyone a chance to survive.

Zhang Jingyi seemed to hear Li Zicheng's sincerity. He smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "I know why you are rebelling. I don't actually care what kind of people you are, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are, and don't care what your intentions are. In fact, these are not important. What is important is that today, there are enough killings. At the beginning, the court was sorry for the refugees, but when they rebel, they rebel. Today... I will make up for the merits, which is to give you a chance, but also the court gave you a chance?"

After a pause, Zhang Jing continued, "I don't say anything extra, I hope we can work together! The Zhang family town of Liaodong, and you will also live in Liaodong in the future. Liaodong will be the Zhang family's family business and your home. The other words I say to you are actually fake, such as the great saints, the loyalty, the kings, the ministers, and the ministers. Everyone is smart. It's useless to say, but I can only say one thing. I won't hide the place in Liaodong. It's still bitter and cold now, but this doesn't matter, we have to live like a personal person."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "This is the truth. To be honest, I, Old Zhang, was actually nervous before, but seeing that Your Highness is so real, I feel at ease. Damn, in the past, no one is human, no ghost, but afterwards, we will be devoted to our own life."

Zhang Jingyi thought for a moment, staring at Zhang Xianzhong, but remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "There is another thing. Among the refugees, you two have to select a group of people, young and smart, each of them chooses 100 people. It is recommended to go to the military school to study. After dropping out, you will still be in Liaodong and will be the team of you two generals in the future."

He paused and smiled and said, "Actually, you will be suspicious when I say this. I think this is trying to differentiate you, but in fact... I am eager to seek talents now, and I just hope to recruit more talents."

Zhang Jingyi made this request. If he said that he would use refugees to enter the military academy, he would have the intention of making them the backbone from then on.

But another meaning is because of Zhang Xianzhong.

To be honest, Zhang Jingyi may not know Li Zicheng, but Zhang Xianzhong, although he looks reckless, actually has a pair of vicious eyes.

Zhang Xianzhong accepted four godsons. In history, whether it was Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, or Ai Nengqi, they were the most famous figures in the world. Even Sun Kewang, who did not save his late eternity in the end, could be regarded as a hero of his time.

Zhang Jingyi dared not say anything else about the people selected by Zhang Xianzhong, but he dared to say that maybe after three or five years, or ten or twenty years, he would definitely be famous people all over the world.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were very happy. In fact, at this time, since they were determined to be devoted, they were eager to get involved with Zhang Jingyi a little more.

Therefore, Li Zicheng said: "This is easy to deal with. I have already made up my mind and will be able to write it out tomorrow."

Zhang Xianzhong pondered and said, "One hundred people... need hesitation. If there are fifty people, I have the best. I have a lot of talents here and I know all kinds of people."

"Okay, then there will be a hundred and fifty people." Zhang Jingyi was filled with joy.

What we lack most now is still talents. All kinds of talents are in short supply. With Zhang Xianzhong's inspection, the Liaodong system will sooner or later be improved.

"Another... you two have to find a way to compile books for all bandits. Now that the big bandits are gone, there are also small bandits everywhere. Some occupy the mountains and become kings, while others are still wandering around. Contact them and tell them that instead of being in danger like this, it is better to follow me and find a way out together."

"yes."

As soon as Zhang Jing explained, he turned over and said, "I have to go home. I haven't been home for many days. I'm very worried about it. You guys have gone to rest earlier, Liu Wenxiu."

"At." A Jinyiwei flashed out on the side.

Zhang Jingyi said something: "Take them to the military academy and get a good student."
