Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 1754 Migration
General Liang was the first to stand up and seconded: "Your Excellency's words are true. Let's be vegetarian tonight to show our respect for the soldiers who died in battle."

I'm afraid, if a beauty is called to serve, and Qin Sanlang swears a poisonous oath from the palace, they will lose face as soldiers.

In order not to let the adults in the capital think that their soldiers are soft bastards who are afraid of their mother-in-law, General Liang can't wait to drink water and eat vegetables tonight!
Ban Shilang was very relieved: "General Liang is worthy of being a general. He respects the soldiers who died in battle so much. They know that they can rest in peace."

Compared to someone like Duan Changlin, General Liang is indeed a good general who cares about his soldiers.

So he struggled for a while, and boldly said: "There is not much I can do for them, I just hope that the weather will be good in the coming year, the imperial treasury will be full, and their family can get more pension money."

Uh, what you said, you want to ruin the banquet!

Mr. Xu from the Ministry of War held his glass of water and said nothing... I am just a young doctor from the Ministry of War. I will go to the Ministry of Households for the pension.

Liu Langzhong of the Ministry of Accounting does not look sideways... I am just a little coolie in the Ministry of Accounting. For the money distribution, I will go to Master Shangshu.

Ban Shilang listened, thinking of those soldiers who died in battle, his nose was sore, and he promised: "When I send the memorial back to Beijing, I will mention this matter."

As for whether it will be successful, he doesn't know.

"Thank you, Sir Minister!" General Liang was very grateful, raised his glass and said, "I will toast you!"

After all, drink up the water in the cup.

Vice General Lu, Baihu, Zongqi and others under his command, including Qin Sanlang and others who resisted the army, also stood up, replaced the wine with water, and thanked Ban Shilang.

Ban Shilang looked at Lieutenant General Lu, pointed to his hand and asked, "What's wrong with your hand? Can you still fight?"

Deputy General Lu was injured, his right palm only had the thumb and index finger, and the remaining three fingers were all cut off.

Deputy General Lu said with a smile: "I was not used to it at the beginning, but after a few months of practice, I can now hold a knife and draw a bow. Don't worry, my lord."

Ban Shilang nodded when he heard this, and asked again: "How many people like you are slightly injured in the army?"

Vice-General Lu did not hide anything, and said truthfully: "There are a lot, at least two hundred out of a thousand people, but it's not a problem. On the battlefield, you can still kill soldiers!"

In the last half of the sentence, Vice General Lu spoke very loudly, for fear that Ban Shilang's memorial would make these slightly injured soldiers go home... Those who will continue to serve as soldiers in the Northwest are all from poor families, many of them The family lives on military pay, and the soldiers don't know how to do other jobs except fighting. If they are sent home in this kind of years, their wives and children will probably starve to death.

After hearing this, Ban Shilang's eyes turned red. He didn't expect the soldiers in the Northwest to suffer so much... When Duke Wei was there, the Northwest was just short of water and not rich. There was no need to worry about raising soldiers. .

"I will think of a way to pay for the money." The Ban family is not prominent, but Ouyang Zhang brought up Ban Shilang, and he plans to write to Ouyang Zhang, asking him to come forward and talk about the money.

After hearing this, the two adults from Yushitai had a bad expression on their faces, but they didn't contradict Ban Shilang, after all, their grades were not as high as his.

Ban Shilang asked about the situation of grain in Northwest China.

Hao Zhifu felt that Ban Shilang was a bit easy to talk, so he told the truth, and said: "Because of the siege of the city by soldiers and the poisonous insect disease, many people died in and outside the city, and many people sold their fields and houses in fear of the war disaster. The whole family moved, and now there are many people and few lands, and some lands outside the city are abandoned."

"Abandoned! How can this work? I have to find someone to plant it quickly." Ban Shilang's heart twitched when he heard that food is the most important thing for the people, especially in the northwest where there is a shortage of food. !

Hao Zhifu looked at Ban Shilang, recalled what Gao Leishi said to him, and said: "My lord, the people in the northwest have escaped if they have the ability. There is really no one to cultivate the land. If you want the land not to be abandoned, There are only two ways."

Ban Shilang hurriedly said: "Which two methods, Zhifu Hao will tell you quickly!"

Hao Zhifu said: "One is to immediately order that the people in the northwest cannot move out without government documents. The second is to relocate the people, and the people from other places in Dachu will be moved here. The court will allocate land and houses for them, and no tax will be collected for three years. No taxes at all."

These two methods are very bold. The first method will offend the rich and famous families who want to leave the northwest, and the second method will offend the imperial court. After all, this is to ask the imperial court to give the people land and houses for free.

Ban Shilang's eyes lit up: "Tell me in detail."

The method is not good, but it can save the northwest, otherwise the northwest will be abandoned and the loss will be even greater.

"My lord has already written down the method, my lord, please read it." Zhifu Hao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Ban Shilang.

In fact, it was not written by him, it was given to him by Gao Leishi.

Ban Shilang couldn't wait for the servants to bring it up, so he got up and went to get the paper, opened it and looked at it for more than a quarter of an hour, and applauded: "Well, good, good, Hao Zhifu's method is really comprehensive. There are beggars and poor people who have no land to cultivate, and they should be very happy to move them to the northwest and give them a way of life."

Can be a ghost, the beggars in the south and the hard-working people who have no land to cultivate would rather sell themselves to be slaves in the rich families in the south than come to the northwest.

In their eyes, the Northwest is a hell where soldiers slaughter the city every day!

But in the end, Emperor Jing Yuan made the westward migration of the southern people. Because Emperor Jing Yuan issued a death order, each prefecture had to hand over a certain number of beggars and landless farmers to move them to the northwest.

Aristocratic families, local prominent families, and wealthy households want to take the opportunity to buy servants at a low price, ransack their homes and behead them!

"There is also this one. If the relatives of the soldiers who stay in their hometowns are willing to move to the northwest, each family will give an extra two taels of silver."

"It's really great. With money, those relatives of soldiers who hesitated to come will be happy to move here. As long as there are people, the land will not be abandoned, the source of soldiers will not be exhausted, and the prosperity of the Northwest is hopeful, hopeful! Ban Shilang was so excited that he wiped away his tears, grabbed Zhifu Hao's hand and said: "Prefect Hao, you are really a good minister of the Great Chu, please be respected by the old man."

As he spoke, he gave a solemn salute to Zhifu Hao.

"I can't afford to be a lower official, this is Mrs. Gao's idea!" Zhifu Hao told the truth in fright.

Ban Shilang was stunned: "It turns out that Mrs. Gao came up with a good plan. This is such a good plan to save the country. I have to prepare a generous gift and thank her."

However, this idea was not from Gao Leishi, but from Gu Jinli to Gao Leishi.

It's just that Gu Jinli felt that his family was too popular now and had to keep a low profile, so he couldn't come up with anything shocking, so he asked Gao Lei to tell the magistrate Hao about this idea. It would be a good thing if it came true.

Gao Lei was worried about the mass removal of the people in the northwest. After hearing this, he immediately agreed and went to find the magistrate Hao.

But Zhifu Hao is a little afraid of death, knowing that this method will offend people, so he has not presented it to the court for a long time. Memorial in the capital.

It's done, he's done it.

No, it wasn't him who died, perfect!
