Rebirth King of Pit Climbing

The consumption of food was completely beyond Yang Ling's expectations. Yang Ling finally understood why most ancient governments used to rescue disasters, and then cooked a few pots of porridge with almost no rice grains every day, because this could maximize the limit.

The activities of these people reduce the consumption of calories. The arrival of these victims solved the problem of insufficient labor for Yangling and also brought about a very big problem. The food problems of these people are all supplied by Liyang. The more labor, the more consumed it

The more rice there is, the only thing that makes Yang Ling breathe is that fortunately, the locals are relatively rich, and there is no need to borrow food for spring waste.

Yang Ling took these to continue to open terraces on the mountain, and encouraged women and children to continue digging wild vegetables everywhere. In a rich place like Jiangnan, there is too much food to eat. As long as you are diligent enough, you will not starve to death even without food.

Of course, grain is the top priority, and this year's spring plowing is even more important. Another village in Yangling encourages farmers to grow grain. In addition to growing grain, Yangling also requires every family in the countryside to plant vegetable gardens to ensure that melons and vegetables are self-sufficient.

Melons and vegetables can support the grain for half a year. Then try to add more food and plant less mulberry and hemp. In this way, when the summer harvest is reached, the countrymen will no longer have to buy grain to eat. This will be of great benefit to reducing the burden on the county, of course, from a long-term perspective.

Yang Ling tried his best to persuade farmers and farm. He did not rest for half a month, his calves were running thin and the people were tanned. But what he was most concerned about was the Su family buying grain from overseas.

"Didn't the Su family say that the first batch of 3,000 stones of grain has been shipped and has arrived at Quanzhou Port?" Zhuge Master said worriedly: "It should have arrived, why don't there even be a grain of rice?"

"Wait for two more days, there will be a lot of wind and waves on the sea. Maybe something will happen." Although Yang Ling was a little anxious, he was unwilling to let his subordinates see it. It was just a mess.

"I can wait, but I'm afraid that Yongfeng Warehouse will not be able to wait." Zhuge Master whispered: "Yongfeng Warehouse can provide food for up to ten days. After ten days, if it's not replenished, everyone will start to go hungry.

Now!"

"It's twelve days," Yang Ling corrected: "Each person receives rations for two days."

"There is not much difference..." Zhuge Master smiled bitterly and said, "You can't just expect the Su family's food to arrive in time. Sir, we must also find a way to raise food. It's only a day to hold on!"

"What you said makes sense." Yang Ling looked at him and said, "But how to make it?"

"How else can I raise money? Borrow grain." Zhuge sighed.

"Who asked?" Yang Ling asked in a deep voice.

"It's a big deal!" Master Zhuge said helplessly.

"Does the big household have food?" Yang Ling glanced at him.

"Of course there is." Master Zhuge nodded.

"A drop in the bucket." Yang Ling said lightly.

"No." Zhuge shook his head and said, "The big households have food. The more disasters it is, the more food the big households have."

"Where do they get so much food?" Yang Ling said: "I think they don't have much grain field, but they have tea gardens and mulberry and hemp land."

"Since last month, grain ships have arrived in the county every day, and most of them are more than a dozen a day." Zhuge Shiye said: "Although no grain is allowed to flow out of each county now, some of their officials are outside the official family.

I can always find ways to get food. All of this food is transported into the deep courtyard and I can't finish it in ten years."

Yang Ling sneered: "It's true that he is unkind for wealth!"

Master Zhuge smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no famine, how can they buy land from the people at a low price? They are waiting for the people to cut off their cooking and borrow from them. At that time, they can use one stone for a tea garden that costs ten taels of silver per acre.

The food is exchanged! What's the difference between this and the Ming robbery! But he still has the name of a good man!"

Of course Yang Ling knew the joints, but fortunately the situation in Liyang is not as serious as elsewhere. Everything Yang Ling did was to eliminate such a situation.

Master Zhuge brought Yang Ling a cup of tea ceremony: "I know Dongwen has always been unfavorable to those big families, but at this moment, we still have to beg to borrow food from them!"

"You can't borrow it. Once you borrow it, you will know that there is no food in the warehouse." Yang Ling said decisively: "When the panic comes, it will harm the people." Yang Ling knew that sometimes fear is more terrifying than any weapon.

"What should I do if I don't need to borrow it? Try it to rob?" Master Zhuge said with a bitter face.

"It's better to rob it hard than borrowing it." Yang Ling said coldly, "It's really not possible. Go and find some bandits to catch up and bite them, and give them a hat of a bandit, so that they don't obediently pay food to eliminate disasters!"

"It's cruel!" Master Zhuge wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If that happens, we won't have to mess in Liyang."

"You don't have to worry about it. Let the Yongfeng Warehouse release the grain as usual, and don't reduce the amount," Yang Ling said and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the terraces and take a look..." Yang Ling said, and went out.

As the sound of the horns, sixteen hemp ropes as thick as arms were like a large open umbrella, pulling the heavy stone pier high and then landing heavily on the ground, tamping the ground flat outside Liyang City.

On Yanshan Mountain, there are people who build rocks and dams and ramming platforms everywhere. The lively scenes made the audience excited and wished they could roll up their sleeves and participate.

Reclamation of terraced fields is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. It takes generations of people to complete it. It cannot be opened just by wanting it. Moreover, Liyang County has always had many fields, so there is no experience in building terraced fields. However,

These civil servants are different. Zhejiang has many mountains and land and has a long history of building terraces. Under the guidance of the old farmers who are used to building terraces, the government selected suitable hills, and then ordered the civil servants to go from bottom to top and move first according to the trend of the mountain.

When the ditches are opened, then fill the cushions with stones and clay, ramming and pounding, so that the ridges are flat and firm, without water leakage, and do not collapse, and retain water and soil. After the ridges are built, the soil will be leveled to make it a horizontal terrace.

When the terraces are built, the second terrace is reclaimed upwards, and this is repeated.

If it weren't for the disaster victims' nothing to do and have nowhere to rely on, Liyang County would not be able to carry out such a large project.

Yang Ling came to Yanshan and headed straight for a big flag standing on the top of the mountain. He saw that the flagpole was a thick bamboo, several meters tall. Red ears rolled on the flag, and four large characters embroidered on it.

——Practice the way for heaven! Oh, no. It is "work for relief".

When he came to the pavilion under his command, he saw several clerks writing calculations there. When he saw Yang Ling coming in, he stood up to greet him: "Why are you here?"

"Come and have a look. Anyway, I'm idle." Yang Ling sat down on a small stool, took the big bowl of tea served by the clerk, blew off the tea powder, and took a sip. Of course, some of the keys were

What you can't say is that you have to behave very normally so as not to cause unnecessary speculation.

"Yes, yes, the master has worked so hard. We all feel sorry for each other." A clerk said with a smile.

"What do you know? This is called show, um, it means setting an example." Yang Ling cursed with a smile, and then asked, "How are you? How many more are you driving these days?"

"Now it's getting faster and faster, seven hills are working at the same time," the clerk replied, "There are more than 1,500 acres in total."

"It's faster than I thought." Yang Ling said in surprise.

"I don't even look at how many people are working. The seven hills are full of people." The clerk said: "Now I am getting more and more skilled. With the master watching, they dare not be lazy."

"Is it still time to rush to grow rice in the land that has been opened?" Yang Ling asked with concern.

"Master, the newly opened terraced fields have to be planted for a few years. First, it is to raise them, and second, it is to let people step on the animals and solidify them. Only then can they be drawn to the water and plant rice." The clerk explained patiently.

"Then let's plant some wheat. There is not only rice in this world." Yang Ling continued to say unprofessional words. There is no way, although he is a rural person. Yang Ling really has never done farm work in his past and present life.

Wei Magistrate knew that there must be something big, otherwise Wang Xian would not have come in person. He waved his hand and the clerks retreated casually and gave the pavilion a blank to speak to the two of them.

After a long time, Yang Ling stood in the pavilion, looking down at the men working all over the mountains and fields, and the already formed terraces. He said slowly in a voice that only he could guess clearly: "As an official, he will benefit the people. This is

I have one of the few noble ideals, and I hope I won’t die halfway.”

After the inspection of the construction site, Yang Ling went to the Su family again, and was not embarrassed, so he said straight to the point: "How long will it take for your food to arrive?"

Su Qinglan frowned and said, "I wrote a letter a few days ago that I have arrived in Quanzhou Port, and I guess I have arrived in Hangzhou."

"There is not much food in Yongfeng Warehouse. If your family's grain ship is not available, I'm afraid there will be no food for these victims to eat." Yang Ling sighed.

"The situation is already so serious?" Su Qinglan asked.

"Anyway, we have to prepare for both things." Yang Ling whispered. "We must replenish food for Yongfeng Cang."

"Rely on the disaster relief food that is delegated to the capital?"

"It's just a drop in the bucket."

"What about buying grain from other counties?"

"Now all counties cannot buy rice with money. No grain of rice is allowed to flow out."

"You said, what should I do?" Yang Ling scratched his head and looked at Su Qinglan in embarrassment.

"Actually, there is some food in this county, and only it is in the hands of the big households." Su Qinglan rarely saw Yang Ling being defeated once, and said slowly with a chuckle. "It's okay to eat 150,000 people for three months."

"Of course I know this. Sometimes I really want to be a bandit and do a deal that is not expensive to deal with these people." Yang Ling suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I really let my subordinates cover up.

Black, how about going to rob them?”

"Calm down, calm down, take a deep breath, and then slowly vomit it out, yes, vomit slowly..." Su Qinglan comforted Yang Ling like coaxing a child, sighed and said, "If you really do this, you will have all your hard work for Liyang

It's all in vain, and the paper can't cover the fire after all."

"..." Yang Ling was speechless and then said in a muffled voice: "What do you think you should do? Borrow food from them in the name of the government?"

"That would cause panic." Su Qinglan was very calm.

"I know too." Yang Ling said with a dark face: "But if there is no food, what will I use to support these victims?"

"Let them rush to sell you the food." Su Qinglan said softly.

"How is that possible?" Yang Ling said: "You don't know how I celebrate with them. How could they sell me food?"

"Maybe...they hoarded goods, just to buy the common people's fields during famine," Su Qinglan pointed to Yanshan in the south of the city and said, "This is also a field..."

"Don't think about it!" Yang Ling seemed to be bitten by a cat, and jumped up in a panic: "These are the lands of the people of Liyang. The people of Liyang have made too many sacrifices. Those lands are given back by the victims to Liyang.

Do the people know how much effort it takes to level such a piece of land? Every inch of terraced fields is soaked with their blood and sweat. But you are going to sell it at a low price! You... aren't you with them?"

"If you don't sell these fields, there will be no food in the warehouse." Su Qinglan was unmoved. She analyzed calmly: "If the disaster relief food is cut off after ten days, and the victims have no food to eat, and then the wealthy families say yes

If you are willing to take out money and food, the condition is to ask for those terraced fields. Do you think the victims will agree? If you stop them, you will be the biggest enemy of the victims, while those wealthy families have become great charitable people. It is better to take advantage of the present.

When you have a little bit of initiative in your hands, take the initiative and maybe you can exchange more food!"

Yang Ling locked himself in the house and thought painfully all night. Just as he decided to follow Su Qinglan's advice and sell these terraces to those big families, the people from the Su family came to pass on the message, saying that the grain ship had actually arrived in Hangzhou long ago.

But I didn't know why, so I was detained in Hangzhou Port and could not be transported back to Liyang. The reason for using it was strange, it was actually smuggling and smuggling.

Yang Ling was so angry that he came. The Su family was the president of Yangzhou salt merchants. What reason was bad? It was such a bad reason? So Yang Ling had to drink Su Qinglan and set out on the journey to Hangzhou again. But before leaving

Previously, Yang Ling also told Master Zhuge that if he came back late and the food could not arrive smoothly, he could sell some terraces as appropriate.

Those wealthy families were waiting and waiting. They were counting on the grain in Yongfeng Warehouse to reach the bottom soon. The land divided by Liyang Energy has basically been divided up long ago, but when they saw Yangling ask these victims to build terraces, these

The wealthy families were thinking again. It seemed that as soon as they saw the ground, these people turned into bloodthirsty sharks.

Although Yang Ling cleaned the county government office, he couldn't resist the energy of these people. He knew that Yang Ling had left Liyang, and Zhuge's affairs were now dominated by Zhuge's master, and Yang Ling authorized Zhuge's master to sell land. These people waited for Yang Ling.

As soon as he left, he stepped into the county government gate.

Master Zhuge is not Yang Ling, and he always has a hint of fear and awe for these local local snakes. Master Zhuge politely invited these people to the wing room and took out the best tea to entertain them.

"Where is Lord Yang?" Shi Huan asked with a sip of tea.

"My Dongweng is not here." Master Zhuge answered honestly.

These people thought that if Yang Ling was there, they wouldn't have come to the county government office. Shi Huan continued: "When we come to the county government office, it is a major matter of life and death in our county."

"I wonder what official Shi Daren has to do with him?" Zhuge Master was an old man who had been with him for decades, and he said calmly when he heard this.

"Since Lord Yang is not here, we should come back another day!" Shi Huan said as he was about to get up.

"Before Dongweng left, he handed over all the affairs of the county government to me. So if you have any questions, you can directly tell me what you can do. I will definitely not refuse!"

"This is true?"

"certainly!"

Shi Huan and others sat down again and said, "I heard that the food in Yongfeng warehouse is in urgent need of emergency, is there such a thing?"

Zhuge's eyes twitched, and he thought that nothing could escape the eyes of these local snakes. He said lightly: "It's not true. I don't know where you heard the news. The food in Yongfeng warehouse is very sufficient."

Shi Huan stared at Master Zhuge with a smile until Master Zhuge felt embarrassed, and then smiled and said, "Why should Master Zhuge hide it from us? We still know these things. People who are not secretly speaking, we also know Lord Yang.

The ship he entrusted the Su family to buy grain was detained in Hangzhou."

"Where do you hear this?" Zhuge Master said that your news is really well-versed. He couldn't help but use the greatest malicious guess. Is it because the wealthy Liyang is making trouble in secret? But when it's time to pretend to be stupid, he still has to continue pretending to be stupid: "

Why don’t I know?”

"Okay!" Shi Huan waved his hand and said, "Shi Ye Zhuge, the Yongfeng Cang has no grain, so far only these people outside know about it, but if the victims have no food in a few days, you say they will do it.

What happened? This is the biggest harm to the people of Liyang. Master Zhuge, Lord Yang has a very strong background. I am afraid that this will not hurt him at all. However, Master Zhuge, you must have an enlightenment."

Shi Huan's words were like a sharp sword that hit the yellow dragon, stabbing the part that Zhuge was most afraid of. Zhuge asked with a trembling trembling: "Then... what good will you do?"

"Oh!" Shi Huan sighed and said sadly: "It's all the villagers in the countryside. We don't want the people of Liyang to suffer such great suffering, so we discussed it for a while and were willing to save a small amount of food.

Fill in Yongfeng Warehouse.”

"I would like to thank you for your kindness." Master Zhuge accepted it casually and said, "You are indeed worthy of being the local good-natured man!" Master Zhuge and Yang Ling have been with Yang Ling for a long time, and he has learned a little bit of Yang Ling's shamelessness.

Shi Huan and others twitched their eyes. The script was a little wrong. They thought that Master Zhuge would take a trap, but they became as shameless as Yang Ling. Shi Huan continued: "These foods are life-saving foods for each family," he said.

In order to save the people of Liyang, they took them out. Shouldn’t the county government make any statement?”

Zhuge Master smiled and said, "Yes, the noble sentiments of all the great officials are indeed very respectful. When my Dongweng comes back, I will suggest to Dongweng to give each family a archway of kindness." (Unfinished
