Thank you for the two tips from my friend Lanling Xiao's family After listening to Wei Liang's words, everyone gasped, the situation in Tancheng was so bad that these townsmen were hostile to Wang Yue of the East China Sea, and Yang Yan, as the minister of the East China Sea, was stationed in Tancheng, and he was bound to be unpopular.
Moreover, more than a dozen families each occupy a corner, and they are connected to each other through marriage branches, and now Yang Yan has settled in strongly, which is equivalent to breaking the original balance, and no one will want to see this change.
Although theoretically, there are contradictions between the various families that can be exploited, but if they are involved, they are afraid that if they reveal their intentions in this regard, Yang Yan will become the public enemy of the whole city, and even someone will directly lead Shi Hubing to come.
Besides, why should people cooperate with you as an outsider?
"Hey" Wei Liang sighed, and said: "Fujun, other families can be ignored, the four families are the eldest of the Sun family, claiming that their ancestors are the descendants of the Tanguo State in the Spring and Autumn Period, after the Tanzi, they have thousands of households, more than 2,000 shade guests, and the rest of the Xu Chen Zheng three surnames are slightly inferior, and they also have more than 800 tribes, and nearly 2,000 shade guests.
The counties under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea are Zhuqi, Qu, Xiangben, Licheng and other counties, each of which is controlled by the local township tyrants, and the number of households ranges from more than 1,000 to two or three thousand.
In addition, from Yishui to Mushui, the fertile land of nearly dozens of miles around is owned by these ten or so families, if the prince has the heart to reclaim, he is in a hurry, there is a large area of abandoned fertile land in the west of Yishui, and it is not difficult to re-cultivate, but every harvest season, it is necessary to send more people to protect the field, so as not to be stolen by outsiders. “ According to Wei Liang, the foundation of Tancheng is still good, and the city of 20,000 households is nothing in Sanwu, but in the Huaibei cities, it can also rank in the top ten, if you add the counties under its jurisdiction, the total number of households may be more than 30,000, and the population of 200,000 is obviously a gold mine.
If Yang Yan can control the population of 200,000, it is enough to build Tancheng into a strong fortress, not to mention competing with Shile, at least he can defend it, but he can't be anxious in a short time, let alone let people guess his intentions.
Breaking the county order and destroying the prefect is not a verbal talk Yang Yan's ultimate goal is to wipe out all the big households in Tancheng And Wei Liang was probably entrusted by various families to come and warn himself.
So, Yang Yan bowed his hand to Wei Liang and said: "Thank you Wei Lao for telling me, and please ask Wei Lao to tell all the families, Yang Mouzhen Tancheng, because of the hustle and bustle, Tancheng may not be guaranteed, specially for the princess to guard the family business, and there is no offense to the villagers, to be settled, when the family heads are invited to drink and talk happily, discuss the plan." “ "That being the case, the old man will leave, if the prince has anything difficult, he can call people to call the old man."
Wei Liang also arched his hand and walked out.
Yang Yan put down his body and personally gave Wei Liang a ride.
After coming back, Xiao Wen said with a worried face: "Fujun, before I came, I didn't know that Tancheng Xianghao was so powerful, I only had 20,000 people, but he had 200,000. ” "What is the decree?"
Yang Yan waved his hand and said: "He has passed his, we have passed ours, we have to settle ourselves first, and hold on until there is a harvest in the spring of next year, by the way, I have a plow here, you can take it to the craftsmen and blacksmiths who are responsible for building agricultural tools, so that they can be built as soon as possible, and do not delay farming." “ As he spoke, he took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to Xiao Wen.
The positions reserved by Yang Yan for Xiao Wen are Hu Cao Peng, the main household, the sacrifice, and the farmer.
Yang Yan took out, is through the necessary curved plow, each part of the painting clearly, and there is an explanation, relative to the advantages of the straight plough and assembly method, this is not exactly the Tang Dynasty of the curved plow, but the Song and Yuan dynasties commonly used plough, compared with the Tang Dynasty Quyuan plow, the plough is shorter, more curved, reduce the amount of the strategy, the pressure and other components, make the structure more lightweight, more flexible to use, the efficiency is also higher, according to the level of technology at that time, manufacturing is not difficult.
This plough was used in Chinese history until the Qing Dynasty, and later due to the emergence of iron and steel mills, the wooden wheel was changed to an iron wheel, but the main structure did not change much.
Xiao Wen looked carefully, and gradually, a divine light appeared in his eyes, and after a long time, he couldn't believe it: "My subordinates are worried that the weather is getting colder, or they can't rush to plant wheat, if this is really as said, it should be worry-free."
It's just that Fujun, with all due respect, when I was young, I had ploughed the fields at home, and I knew a little about farming, so I dared to assert that without a deep understanding of farming, it would never be possible to make a Quyuan plow, and this plough has never appeared in the south and north of the Yangtze River.
Xiao Wen looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, obviously he couldn't figure out how a person like Yang Yan could design a Quyuan plow Yang Yan didn't explain either, smiling slightly.
On the contrary, Xiao Ren pushed Xiao Wen and urged: "Brother Cong, you care so much from the prince of the palace, just go quickly, don't delay the business."
Xiao Wen arched his hand and walked out quickly.
It was getting dark, and the whole army set up camp along Yishui, and after dinner, many people rested early, and in any case, they finally arrived at the ground, and they could enter the city tomorrow, and as for the future, we will talk about it in the future.
In a mansion in the east of Tancheng City, Wei Liang was reporting to a dozen people what he had seen and heard and what he had met with Yang Yan.
These are the heads of the families in Tancheng, from the heart, no one wants Yang Yan to be a vassal domain, after all, Yang Yan was appointed by the court, he has a famous name and righteousness in hand, and there is a general's number, holding a scepter, supervising the military of the East China Sea, theoretically you can call the private army of each family, there is such a figure entrenched on the top of the head, no one is comfortable.
But surrendering Shile is not the first choice, for them, the best situation is to maintain the status quo and close the city gate to live a free life, so please go out of Wei Liang to explore Yang Yan's tone.
"Hmm" An elderly man sitting at the head of the house was Sun Mou, the head of the Sun family, and said in a deep voice: "This son is also interesting, but we can't believe his words, we still have to watch his words and observe his deeds." ” "Hmph" Zheng Ji, the head of the Zheng family, snorted coldly: "It's always a disaster to keep this son, you all add it up, but there is a way to squeeze this son away, why did we need the court to send a minister of state to sit in the town."
"Huh" Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family, waved his hand: "This matter should not be rushed, after all, Yang Yanzhi was appointed by the court, in the name of taking care of the family and nursing home for the princess of the East China Sea, we have no suitable reason to force him to leave for the time being, and there are thousands of soldiers under him, if it causes a conflict, it is not good, it is better to let him first and see what this son wants." ” Xu Zhen, the head of the Xu family, nodded and said: "The old man thinks that the monarchs may react too much, this son is out of the town of Tancheng, it is not useless, Shi Jilong's 40,000 army is on the line from Juping to Mount Tai, and the defeat of Xu Niche is a matter of morning and evening, if the Xu Niche is broken, Shi Jilong leads the troops south, Tancheng bears the brunt, and now that there is this son, it can be topped, and then we will decide whether to fight or surrender according to the situation."
If there is a choice, no one in Huaibei is willing to surrender to Shile, on the one hand, Shile is moody, kills people without warning, and is afraid to serve him as the master.
On the other hand, Shi Le's background is too low, he is both a Hulu and a lowly person, which is lower than his own tenant status, so that the lord family can claim to the tenants, and many people can't accept it psychologically.
Chen Xuan took it over and said: "It's true, Uncle Fang takes office, and he always has to rely on us villagers to govern the land, I don't dare to go out of line, besides, this son is a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones after all, and he sits in town on behalf of the court, and he still has to get by on the surface."
In less than a month, it is Sun Lao's 60th birthday, it is better to invite this son to come, let's touch his bottom again, if you can hold it, let us drive, it should be the best, if you don't know how to lift, then we don't have to be polite to him, if there is a chance, um" As he spoke, Chen Xuan slashed with one palm and slashed hard "Not bad, not bad" "Chen Gong's words are reasonable" The heads of small and medium-sized families chimed in
