Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 232 Tomorrow's military parade, inform Governor Yang to come
Seeing Huang Laifu pondering, the eyes of the officials present were fixed on Huang Laifu's face, as if there were flowers on his face.

Especially Liu Bingbei watched Huang Laifu closely.He very much hoped that Huang Laifu would tell about the farming. In that case, Huang Laifu would not only fight against him and Governor Yang, but also against the local commanders, and also against a large number of local civil servants and military generals.In that way, under the overt or covert pull of local officials, Huang Laifu would be unable to move an inch at Ningwu Pass, and Liu Bingbei would have a good show at that time.

Unexpectedly, Huang Laifu raised his head, slowly scanned the surrounding people and said: "After our military sect came to Ningwuguan this time, we were entrusted by the Holy Spirit. In addition to training troops and governing the army, we also cooperated with Eunuch Ma to govern Ningwuguan. In the local area, the situation is more complicated. There are many local people and less land, and because of historical reasons, it is not easy to farm. Therefore, the military sect decided to change its thinking, abandon farmland, and operate other businesses. At that time, everyone will work together to cooperate. .”

Compared with other places in Shanxi Town, Ningwuguan has a large population. There are nearly [-] battalions in the town, and there were thousands of military households in the town.In addition, there are nearly [-] households in the villages and towns on the four sides of the town, and the population is tens of thousands, which can be regarded as a populous town.

With so many people and so little land, coupled with the fact that there are many officials and generals, the local land has always been entangled in interests, which is very complicated. Huang Laifu doesn't need to pay attention to this, otherwise the rebound will be huge, and his gains will outweigh the losses.

However, it is not easy to farm in Ningwuguan, but it is rich in minerals.Local officials and generals, due to dull thinking, do not see the benefits of operating minerals, but only see a large number of troubles, so there are not many officials to occupy the numerous local minerals.

The large and small coal mines in Ningwuguan are mostly occupied by local tyrants, just like the places in Daming, and at most there are only some officials behind them.But with Huang Laifu in front, it's useless for him to be backed by anyone.

After hearing Huang Laifu's words, Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei were taken aback, and their hearts were slightly relieved. Many officials present also breathed a sigh of relief.Although there are civil and military disputes between these people and Huang Laifu, the biggest conflict is actually a conflict of interests.Now that Huang Laifu doesn't compete with them for land, then the biggest conflict between them and Huang Laifu will no longer exist.

At the same time, everyone was curious about what Huang Laifu said just now, "don't come up with ideas, change your thinking, abandon farmland, and change to other businesses." What exactly is it?
Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei looked at each other, and Governor Yang said: "I don't know what Huang Junmen said about managing other things. Can I ask the old man to cooperate?"

Although after Huang Laifu came to Ningwuguan, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with Governor Yang and other civil officials, but the unhappiness was not happy. Considering Huang Laifu's business methods in Wuzhaibao and other places, Huang Laifu must have found something to make money in Ningwuguan doorway.If the relationship is not good, the relationship is not good. If there is money to be made, Governor Yang will definitely not let it go.

Liu Bingbei had a look of disdain on his face, but his ears were pricked up, wanting to hear what Huang Laifu had to say.

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "I won't talk about this for now!"

He cupped his hands to Governor Yang, Liu Bingbei and others, and said: "Thank you, Governor, for hosting a banquet. Lai Fu is very kind. It's getting late, so I will take my leave and rest!"

As he spoke, he looked at Eunuch Ma Jiuying, and Eunuch Ma understood, and he also stood up and said, "Our family is a little tired after a day of driving and horses. My lords, thank you very much, let's go!"

As he spoke, he and Huang Laifu walked away.Huang Laifu's brothers-in-law, General Liu Quanli and others were naturally busy walking behind him.Seeing that Huang Laifu had left, the rest of the military generals felt a little uncomfortable staying here, so they also dispersed abruptly.

Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei, the civil servants, continued to sit. After a while, Governor Yang snorted: "Don't say what you want to do, you are just a man, why are you putting on airs!"

Liu Bingbei also responded: "That's right, a martial artist, what airs do you have?"

The General Military Office of the Ming Dynasty is generally also called the General Military Office, or the General Town Office.

The General Military Mansion where Huang Laifu lived was also considered majestic and majestic.There are mansion gate, lobby, second hall, third hall, study, wing room and back house, a huge two-storey pavilion-style courtyard house, occupying a large area.

In front of the main entrance of the General Military Mansion, there is a pair of tall stone lions. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, only officials of the third rank and above can place large stone lions in front of the door.In front of the main entrance, in addition to the thick horse-mounting stone, there is also a large and wide stone slab.

Today is the third day of Huang Laifu's arrival at Ningwuguan. On this day, the army received an interview, and all the generals thanked him and resigned.At the gate, there were several rows and rows of guards in the mansion, all of them cheered up and stared at everyone.On the field outside the gate, there were officers with red tassels and phoenix wings standing densely, and they were all waiting for Huang Laifu to be summoned.

General Liu Quanli had a serious face, walking back and forth at the gate from time to time, looking down at everyone.His complacent appearance caused the generals below to curse inwardly, a sycophant, he was just a lost dog, but now he is appreciated by the military, but he puts on this airs in front of everyone.

Only low-level military officers from various places are on the field, while the generals and above are waiting for each other in the White Tiger Hall in the mansion.The White Tiger Hall is one of the symbols of each official residence. This is the place where visitors rest and wait before meeting their masters. Weapons are not allowed in the White Tiger Hall.The White Tiger Hall in Huang Laifu's General Army Mansion is five meters high, and the whole room gives people a sense of awe.

At this time in the house, there are generals from Beiloukou, Hequ County, Daizhou, Fenzhou, the third brother-in-law of Huang Laifu, Tian Dafu from Shenchibao, Pianguanbao and others. We had a good time talking.

In particular, General Pianguanbao and Tian Dafu talked about speculation. Needless to say, Tian Dafu, General Pianguanbao was also a person who cooperated with Huang Laifu early on. Now his Pianguanbao cooperates with Huang Laifu to farm the fields every year. Dividends continue to flow, and wealth is rolling in.

They kept chatting and laughing, exchanging their money-making experience, which aroused the envy and jealousy of the people next to them.

At this time, in the hall of the mansion, Huang Laifu was flipping through the documents of Ningwu Pass, which contained records of various military and horse money, the geography of the city, and the storage of equipment, all of which were left by the former general Liu Mingan.

Huang Laifu watched quietly, while Zanhua and others in Yiqian Mansion stood on both sides respectfully.The curtain guests and the Zanhua were all staff members of the general army in the Ming Dynasty, and their specific responsibilities and grades were not customized. They usually helped the general soldier handle some affairs.

Speaking of the emperor and the courtiers, the staff members hired by the former commander-in-chief were all nervous at first, worried that they would lose their jobs, but after Huang Laifu took office, all the staff in the mansion stayed on, which made everyone hate Huang Laifu Thank you so much.

Yesterday, Huang Laifu was flipping through the brochure all day, and he continued to read it today.At this time, Yang Xiaolu came in and said to Huang Laifu: "Junmen, all the generals are here, do you want to raise your account?"

Huang Laifu nodded and said, "Open the gate!"

Soon the trumpets sounded, and all the soldiers will clean up their crowns and uniforms, enter in an orderly manner, kneel down twice under the eaves, and Huang Laifu condescends and lets them enter.

The generals sat down in order, looking at the young commander-in-chief Huang Laifu, all of them were very curious. They naturally heard a lot about Huang Laifu's legends. Have.But curiosity is curiosity, they dare not be rude in front of Shangguan.

They signed up one by one, and the entire Shanxi town had a Beiloukou garrison general and a garrison general, a Hequ County garrison general, a Liminbao garrison general and a garrison general, a Guangwu station garrison general, and a Piantouguan general. [-], garrison each, one general of Shenchi Fort, one guerrilla of Bajiao Fort, one garrison of Shuiquanying, one officer of Pandao Liangbao, one general of Daizhou, one general of Fenzhou, Ping Xingguan A member of the defense.

Each general took out his portable file one by one, reported to Huang Laifu, and introduced the situation of his own military fort.It is unbearable to talk about the decline of our soldiers and horses, the lack of food and salaries, and the arrogance of military equipment everywhere, which is unbearable.

Huang Laifu comforted them one by one, saying that as long as Huang Laifu was there, he would solve the problem of the generals' food and salary.The generals were also in high spirits and felt that they had a backbone. This new commander-in-chief was really different from the former commander-in-chief Liu Ming'an.And there are examples of Wuzhai Fort, Laoying Fort, and Shenchi Fort. They also have full confidence in Huang Laifu.

After the interview, Huang Laifu held a big banquet in the mansion to entertain the generals, and everyone was jubilant again.

After receiving the generals, Huang Laifu, accompanied by everyone, inspected the inside and outside of Ningwu Pass.The officers and officers of the outer fort also accompanied Huang Laifu. To them, this was like visiting Ningwu Pass at public expense. How could it make them unhappy.

When they rode on the streets of Ningwuguan, the dense crowd of generals attracted countless crowds of onlookers. Originally, there were many local rumors about Huang Laifu.After the news of Huang Laifu's conflict with the civil servants came out in the past two days, everyone's curiosity increased.

Walking on the street, except for the governor’s office and the [-]-family street where the General Military Mansion gathers, all the streets in the city are unflattering. The streets are potholed, the houses are dilapidated, and the garbage is everywhere. It really can’t be called a town. .Looking at the ragged clothes of the surrounding military households and common people, with curious eyes full of fear and hope, Huang Laifu cupped his hands to the crowd around him, which attracted applause.

"Military gate, over there is the barracks, over there is the grain, grass and military warehouse, over there is the temple stage, over there is..."

Standing on the majestic Huagai Building of Huagai Mountain in the north of the city, the tall moat piers meander away for dozens of miles.Standing on the Huagai Tower overlooking the whole city, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Ningwu Pass.But seeing that the moat pier of Huagai Mountain resembles the head of a phoenix, the city is like the body of a phoenix, the north and east of the city look like wings of a phoenix, and the Yingxun Building in the south city is like a tall phoenix tail. The term Phoenix City is also appropriate.

According to Liu Quanli, Ningwuguan was first built in the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, the circumference was only two miles. In the 11th year of Hongzhi, the pass was expanded to Zhouqili. From this point of view, the entire Ningwuguan is narrow from north to south. The east and west are long, and the surrounding area is full of forts and enemy towers. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.The Hui River is like a belt, flowing from the south of Ningwu Pass to the north, and after flowing into Datong, it is also called Sanggan River.

After watching for a long time, Huang Laifu said: "Okay, today the generals of Ningwuguan will go back and gather their soldiers to prepare. Tomorrow I will parade outside the city of Guan!"

He said to Yang Xiaolu again: "Go and inform Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei that they will also be present tomorrow. All civil servants from Ningwu will come!"
