Chapter 3: Morning Dew Mikami According to Ping En, Cheng Mingzhen made a list of Anmin and recruited displaced people from all over the country to go to Tuntian to reclaim the wasteland, and the osteopathic clinics in various counties and counties of Hebei Province suddenly burst into business. is obviously a thief who kills people and sets fires, but he does what the government should do, and he can't help but make people's jaws drop. can think about it, framing and framing, fighting with open fire, everything that a robber should do, the official government of the Great Sui Dynasty did the same, and did it more sophisticated and unscrupulous than the thief.
And the hearts of the people were balanced. is the so-called official thief and official thief, the difference is that one holds a seal handle in his hand, and the other holds a knife handle in his hand.
But the goal is to make money and kill people, so it's actually similar in essence.
"Demon, demon" walked out of the door of the clinic, and the old man of the big family began to sigh.
From then on, the walls of each family had to increase by a few more inches, and the salary of the martial artists in the homes had to rise again.
The so-called troubled times are coming, and evil will come out.
Cheng Mingzhen, who doesn't do anything but wants to be an official, is a demon of the Great Sui Dynasty.
You count, the disasters that have occurred on Hebei Road in the past three years, the destruction of Guantao City, the defeat of Yang Shanhui, and the martyrdom of Feng Xiaoci, which catastrophe is inseparable from this person, even the vicious battle that occurred on the bank of the Yellow River between the Wagang thief and the right Hou Wei was not also caused by the sneak attack on Liyang Cang by this person Whatever the wicked does, they must harbor evil intentions.
Despite the superficial kindness.
All households are limited to 50 acres of wasteland, first come, first served, and whoever plants it is considered whoever's.
What Julu Zequnhao is responsible for local security, in the three counties of Ping'en, Lishui, and Qingzhang, where there is theft, robbery, kidnapping and ransom, Cheng Mingzhen is responsible for coming forward to seek justice.
You don't have to pay in the first two years, and only one percent will be drawn from the third year.
What no seeds can be borrowed from the Ping'en County Ya temporarily, and after the autumn, thirty percent of the harvest in the field will be handed over.
As long as the past traders pay a protection fee, they can walk boldly from Qingzhang to Pingxiang, not only under the protection of Julu Ze Haojie, but also exempt from the road money for crossing bridges and city gates along the way.
What is the cash-for-work, as long as you help the thieves of Juluze to rebuild the city wall, clean up the bones, and repair the canals, you can exchange it for a whole day of chewing Forget it, it's all a lie.
This kind of pie in the sky happens to be smashed in the mouth, is it really possible in reality, let's ignore it for the time being, there is no need to pay taxes for two years, he Cheng thief can't open a vegetable field at the entrance of the yamen what he eats, sow seeds and plant radishes by himself, even if Cheng thief has the ability to plant radish, where does the money and grain for building cities and canals come from, it is thousands of expenses, even if the official government moves, you have to see if the surplus money and food in the treasury are enough for expenses.
He is a thief for the first time, and with two eyes and a mouth, he can conjure money out of thin air, if someone believes it, it is strange But no matter how the gentry with heads and faces pouted in private.
But there are many people who have been deceived.
Especially in several remote counties near Zhangshui, the local people are already too poor to open the pot.
I heard that someone took care of the food and lent seeds to open up the wasteland, and no matter how many people the other party had killed and how many sins he had caused, he ran over thousands of people.
"Anyway, it's a big deal to be a little minion behind Cheng Mingzhen, it's better than squatting at home and waiting for death," thought the people who ran first.
As a result, he found that the benefits of the legend were not discounted at all, but someone supervised the implementation, and he immediately opened his mouth happily and passed the good news to his fellow villagers through various channels.
As a result, many people who stayed on the east bank of the river to watch couldn't sit still, dragged their children and daughters, and ran to the west bank of the river.
As a result, the county government had to send more people to guard the various ferries, so as not to be bewitched by thieves, resulting in the autumn not being able to collect any taxes.
Those who ran to the west bank of the river were not exactly desperate people.
Many people are interested in the fertile fields around Ping'en County.
In the past two years, officials have come and gone, and wars have been frequent, although everyone knows that those fields are so fertile that they are dying, and they know that the original owners of the fields have long been dead, but no one has the courage to go to the tiger's mouth to find food.
Now that the tiger minions say that it will eat it without choosing anyone, everyone will have the courage to take a look.
In case the thief speaks, everyone can also leave some savings for their children and grandchildren After the mango seed, it can't be strong.
At this moment, the wasteland is cleared, that is, some millet, buckwheat and other lazy crops are sprinkled, and the people and livestock can barely make up some rations for next year. can not stand the ground fat, Wang Fei, the general under the command of Cheng Thief, led people to rebuild the ditch near the county seat every day, so that the land can be watered at any time.
It has only been more than a month, and the three places of Ping'en, Qingzhang and Lishui, especially around the three county seats, have been reborn.
The bones of the past have been condensed, replaced by clusters of wildflowers that cannot be named.
Waist-deep weeds have also been cleared and replaced by patches of flat farmland.
The biggest change should belong to the county seats, and thanks to the efforts of the actual controllers of the three county seats, most of the empty houses have been cleaned up.
Either sold or rented, at a very low price, the people who came to the defect were cheaper.
If someone really can't afford to pay the rent, they can also make up by helping the good men to clean up more of their houses.
As long as you have worked enough days, you can get a place to live for free.
Although it is not as neat as those houses for sale and rent, it can also shelter from the wind and rain, so that people will not sleep on the streets.
After recovering from the initial excitement and busyness, the people began to visit relatives and friends.
They slowly began to adapt to their new life and slowly identified themselves with the rulers of the land.
Although these rulers are an out-and-out rebellion.
In the mouths of the people, the mention of the three words "good man" is no longer completely fearful, but with a little heartfelt admiration.
Don't scrape the ground, don't grab food, don't pull women, you can also enforce the law impartially, suppress evil and promote good, so that everyone can find a place to judge even if there is a conflict between each other.
Such a hero of the green forest, can he not be called a hero?
But in addition to admiration, the people also slowly sprung up a little doubt in their hearts.

That is, where did the "good heroes" get the food at present, although the people in the three counties of Ping'en, Lishui, and Qingzhang are not very many, but there are forty or fifty thousand together, even if half of them bring their own rations, and the other more than 20,000 mouths have to eat, not so many wasteland has been reclaimed outside the city, even if it is sprinkled with worthless lazy crops, millet, buckwheat and radish, you have to find a way to get seeds, but the heroes almost respond, no matter who borrows, as long as they can find two guarantors, they are willing to lend it.
It is as if a cornucopia has been born in the treasury, and the grain seeds are constantly moving The reason why everyone thinks this way is not to doubt the facts that they have seen with their own eyes.
But I am afraid that one day the young master Cheng will be eaten poor, borrowed money, and led his subordinates to pat their butts and leave.
That can make all the people miserable, everyone hasn't even gotten the first crop yet, marry a wife and have children, and the dream of spreading branches and leaves has just begun, if it is like smoke in a blink of an eye, why give everyone the opportunity to dream in the first place Worry is worry.
But Cheng someone's notoriety is outside, and none of the people who ventured to come to the three counties to beg for a living have the courage to go to the vicinity of the county government to inquire about the news they are most concerned about.
Life in front of me is like a mirage, everything is so beautiful, everything is as beautiful as an illusion.
It's hard to touch it, lest it shatter like ice on the eaves of winter.
There is only one thing that can be confirmed without inquiry, and that is that the combat effectiveness of the minions under Cheng Mingzhen is very strong.
In particular, those "sharp soldiers" who are stationed in the county town and do not participate in the reclamation of wasteland, but who train every day, are like wolves and tigers.
There is no way to compare the distance, a few counties nearby, whether it is the Xiang Yong under Yang Baiyan, or the county soldiers under Wei Gangtou, it is not a person to pull it out one-on-one.
Even if two fight one, or even three fight one, as long as the fight is opened, it is difficult to determine whether the winner or loser will win or lose in the end.
This also invisibly strengthens the people's sense of security and belonging.
In these troubled times, who doesn't want to make a living with a hard-handed leader.
The more the soldiers under Cheng Mingzhen's command can fight, the more the government on the other side of the river will not dare to act rashly.
And the more the government on the other side of the river dares not act rashly, the more stable the small life of the people will be, and the more they will not have to worry about the crops in the field not being harvested in their warehouses.
It can be said that from April to June, these two months are the most comfortable days for many people in the past five years.
There is food in the field, and there is a dream in the heart, and there is still a hope in the dream to escape the troubled times safely.
Except for a very small number of government agents hidden among the people, their sleep is getting less and less, and there are more and more nightmares.
During the day, in order not to let people see the flaws, they had to weed and weed together with the people, and they were so tired that they stinked to death.
At night, I have to fight against what little conscience I have left in my heart.
Cheng Mingzhen is a thief, and it is true that officials and thieves cannot stand on the other.
But if there are a few more such thieves, won't the world be too peaceful, even if the officials and soldiers cross the river and wipe out the three counties where the thieves are located, the life of the people will be better than now, at least in many places on the other side of the river, the land rent paid by the farmers to the government and the squires far exceeds the capital and interest collected by the thieves after borrowing grain on credit.
These confusions and confusions are difficult to hide, and they are often expressed between the lines through secret reports sent to the county town.
Individual officials in Wuyang County were very angry when they saw it, and privately thought that Shi Weizheng, the head of the county guard, was not thinking about it, and wanted to provoke the internal strife of the Juluze group of thieves and destroy them without a fight, but who expected that a group of more powerful thieves would be raised.
Only these high-ranking officials knew that there was no cornucopia in Cheng Mingzhen's warehouse, and all the relief expenses for the displaced people on the other side of the river, as well as the daily supplies of the soldiers and horses under Cheng Mingzhen, were actually from the official warehouses of Qinghe, Wuyang, Wei, and Wu'an.
In order to prevent thieves from coming to the door, the government and big households of the four counties secretly paid a large amount of security fees to Zhang Jincheng.
Cheng Mingzhen is the middleman of the handover between the two sides, and all the grain and soft goods transported to Juluze are all handed over by this thief.
And Shi Weizheng, the governor of Wuyang County, is the initiator of this method of spending money to buy peace, and he is an active participant and principal, and he has correspondence with Zhang Jincheng, Cheng Mingzhen and other thieves every month. and climbed into the same township with Cheng thief Mingzhen, and often called him a brother in a letter.
"What kind of world, the government pays money and food to thieves" Some people beat their chests and feet, and their hearts were heartbroken.
"The depth of Xuancheng's plan is far beyond our reach" also has a common enmity with the thief, but Cheng Wei Deshen of Guixiang County is not very resistant to the act of "raising thieves".
On the contrary, after gaining insight into the truth of the incident, he did not take the case as some smart people expected and expected.
However, the deployment was adjusted, and all the county soldiers in the neighboring counties of Ping'en were withdrawn.
As a result, after a long period of turmoil, after Zhang Jin claimed to be the king and Wei Wensheng returned to the west in triumph, there was a rare quiet situation for several months.
The government and the thieves followed a piece of water, and the sound of chickens and dogs heard each other, but the bows and crossbows did not communicate with each other
