  Chapter 139 Good Match
  Su Ze lamented more than once that there were too few useful people around him.

  After Lin Xianyang and Lin Deqing went to the county seat, the old man who was semi-retired had no choice but to come back to help Su Ze deal with Changning Wei's affairs.

  Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure, but these days, the old man is getting older after all, and Su Ze can't bear to let him continue to work.

  Returning to the ancestral hall, Su Ze told his grandfather about the idea of ​​moving some of the remaining Changning Guards to the mining village, and his grandfather immediately expressed his support.

  "Aze was thoughtful. After all, the guard station is too close to the sea. If it is attacked, we old, weak, women and children will become a burden to hundreds of households. I went to that village near the village when I was young. The land is no worse than that of Changning Guard. I Support!"

  With his grandpa's support, Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief. With his grandpa's prestige, he would definitely be able to call on many people to move to the village.

  The old grandpa said again: "But you can't force this matter. This year's grain has been planted, and there will always be people who are reluctant."

  Su Ze said: "Grandpa, I have already thought about this. According to the area of ​​each family's land, the health center will Give twice as much grain as a reward to households that relocate." "

  There are mature fields over there in the village. Those who are willing to go can get twice the amount of mature fields, and the fields that will be reclaimed later will be counted separately." The old man said, stroking his white beard

  . Since you have thought it all carefully, Aze, let's do it in your own way."

  Su Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, someone has to be in charge of the relocation and land distribution. Brother Xian Yang went to the county government again. Do you want to do it? Recommend a few useful people to me."

  The old man laughed and said, "I said you have thought everything through, why are you talking to a bad old man like me? It turns out you are just asking for help."

  Su Ze chuckled, and the old man said: "That's right, I, an old man, can't handle the affairs of the health center alone!" "For this matter of

  moving and dividing the land, you go to Lin Xianzong! He can control the situation in the health center. Those disciples under him can also own land."

  Su Ze's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it?

  Lin Xianzong was a master craftsman in the shipyard. Before Su Ze came to Changningwei, his reputation was second only to his grandfather.

  In fact, Lin Xianzong basically left the affairs of the shipyard to his apprentices. The one recommended by his grandfather was the right candidate.

  The old grandpa continued: "But before moving, you have to go to Lao Qi first."

  "Grandpa, are you talking about Qi Shu?"

  Qi Shu is Changningwei's expert farming expert Lin Qishu, who is the best at farming in Changningwei.

  The old man nodded and said, "It's Lao Qi. If you let him move to the village first, the others will be willing to go."

  Su Ze suddenly realized that Lin Qishu was the best at farming in Changning Wei. As long as he was willing to go to the village, It means that there is no problem with the land over there, and then other people will put down their concerns.

  "But is Uncle Qi willing to go?"

  "Why not? Lao Qi's family has a large population, but Chang Ningwei only has so much land to farm, and he is worried to death that there is not enough land at home." "Are you willing to offer twice the amount of land

  ? Land, Lao Qi will definitely be the first to go."

  As expected, Jiang is still old and hot, and now Su Ze doesn't have to worry about mobilization and relocation.

  The old man continued: "We old guys can't work for a few more years. Ze, you still have to rely on young people." The old

  man said: "Lin Xiantang, the son of Lao Qi's family, has an upright personality, but he is a man of justice." "

  Last time . Lin Xianda, the flag boy who escorted you to the county seat, is smooth and literate. This boy has not been a soldier since he was a child. He also has a brother in his family. You ask Baihu to help his brother join the army and ask Lin Xianda to follow you to do good things. Now."

  Su Ze quickly wrote it down, and the old man said:

  "In addition, Liangjun is getting older, and he should be responsible for the affairs of the health center."

  Su Ze thought of the little carrot head, he had indeed grown a lot these days. , became the leader among a group of children in the health center, and Su Ze could always handle the things assigned to him.

  Su Ze nodded and said, "Grandpa, I understand. I'll let this guy work right away!"

  Su Ze came out of the ancestral hall, and his thoughts suddenly opened up.

  I used to worry about everything myself and didn't trust others to do it.

  If you don't give others the opportunity to do things, how can you have the talents to do things? You must know that talents also grow step by step.

  Su Ze adjusted his mentality. He followed his grandfather's method and visited Lin Xianzong and Lin Qishu one by one. Both of them readily agreed. At this time, people from Nanping County arrived.

  The people from the county government walked the fastest, and a group of government officials beat and hammered the clocks of hundreds of households back to Changning Guard.

  Baizhi County also thoughtfully gave Lin Xianyang and others a holiday and asked them to return to Changning Guard to celebrate together.

  Lin Mojun watched the county government officials hang up the flags again. Not only did the officials not ask for bribes this time, but they kept complimenting Lin Baihu.

  Lin Mojun thought of when his father died in the war, when people from the county government came to deliver the banner, and how excited he was when he accepted the banner.

  But after recovering the watch last time and sending it again today, Lin Mojun found it boring.

  Lin Mojun only completed the ceremony symbolically, and then ordered people to entertain the servants who delivered the banner. At this time, there was another sound of knocking at the door of Changning Guard.

  This time it was a banner sent by the government, and it was issued to Lin Baihu.

  The government officials also did not dare to ask for bribes. They also hung the banners on the houses of the hundred households in a lively manner. Looking at the two banners, Lin Mojun was silent for a long time, and finally waved and said: "Reward." The servants took the money

  . , played even harder, but Lin Mojun once again wavered in the honor pursued by his father.

  My father had been loyal to the country all his life, and he only received the honor after his death, and was almost recovered by the county government.

  And he just wiped Yanpingwei's butt and got the government official's order.

  The official from the government office here to deliver the banner told Su Ze about the reward given by the prefect to Chang Ning Wei.

  "The history of the government office? I wonder which house it is from?"

  The official said very respectfully: "The vacancy of the history of the military room is suitable for your guard office. The magistrate said that Xu Changning's guard recommends people with a clean family background, loyalty, filial piety and integrity. I am appointed as the governor of the government."

  The reward given by the prefect is not too heavy. He is also an official, and the history is equivalent to the official establishment of the business department. It is difficult to dismiss the government, and he can even stay in the government and obey the orders of the prefect.

  In addition to Dianshi, Fang Zhifu also allocated three official quotas. This means that when people from Changning Wei enter the government office, they will have one Dianshi and three officials. You must know that people in the clan are able to stick together, and the factions within the government office The balance of power was suddenly broken, and Chang Ningwei became a major force in the government.

  Su Ze was naturally satisfied with this reward. He took out some money and rewarded the clerk who tipped off the news.

  Naturally, it was impossible for Su Ze to go to the government office to make history books. He came to Lin Xianyang and said,

  "Brother Xianyang, I think you should do this government office history work."

  Lin Xianyang said in surprise: "Me? Can I do it?" "If it's an errand in another room, I'm still worried that you can't do it well, but brother Xianyang, you can definitely do it in the barracks." "Fuya

  barracks , that is, taking over the military affairs of various counties, and also dealing with the Yanping Guards, you can handle these things."

  Lin Xianyang thought about it, and it seemed that it was indeed not difficult.

  Su Ze continued: "As for the county government errands, the health office will send someone to take your place. In addition, the prefect also gave us the qualifications of three government officials. What capable manpower does Brother Xian Yang have?" Lin Xianyang thought for a while

  . , and called the names of several young people from the guard station, Su Ze wrote down the names and said: "We have just made great achievements. Brother Xian Yang, no one dares to do anything to you when you enter the government office, but as time goes by, it won't be possible. ."

  "Brother Xianyang, remember that you have Chang Ningwei to back you up. Don't be soft-hearted when you arrive at the Yamen. You must deal with what needs to be dealt with." After

  Lin Xianyang was trained by the county government, he also knew the cruelty of the struggle between these officials. He He nodded and said: "Brother Aze, I understand."

  The list of officials recommended to the government and county offices had just been decided, and Yu Zongyuan also brought people to Changningwei to congratulate him.

  After hearing that Commander Yu wanted to transfer all the technical backbone and equipment to Changning Guard, Su Ze became more certain that Yu Zongyuan was his money-giving boy.

  After all this was dealt with, Su Ze also decided to return to Nanping County. Lin Mojun heard that Su Ze was going to the city and called him to the Hundred Household Office.

  Lin Mojun had already taken off her armor. She was wearing a loose Confucian shirt and still covered with a veil. She said, "

  The official from the government office who just came to deliver the banner has already said that he hopes Chang Ning Wei can hide the truth about the Japanese." "

  Unexpectedly. Among them, more than a dozen real Japanese were captured. The imperial court must appraise the credit for this, and the Yanping Guards' ineffective combat will be unstoppable." Su Ze already knew something about the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and he continued: "

  Three Hundreds of households were wiped out, and neither the government nor the commanding office could bear the responsibility, so they roped in our Changning Guard."

  Lin Mojun also knew in her heart that she didn't want this credit.

  Killing dozens of real Japanese people, this merit can make her promoted to a thousand households.

  However, promotion to Qianhu requires an identity check, and her identity as a female Baihu might be revealed.

  Su Ze said: "With the title of a thousand households, it is better to eat these rewards. I have already recommended Brother Xianyang to go to the military office of the government to do history." Su Ze's words confirmed Lin Mojun's idea, and the

  military office was in charge of the government. The military administration and the logistics of the military camps in Yanping Mansion are also under the jurisdiction of the barracks. Letting Lin Xianyang be the history of the barracks will definitely bring more practical benefits to Changning Guards.

  Su Ze then talked about the matter of the Powder and Fire Bureau. He planned to place the Powder and Fire Bureau and the Projectile Making Workshop near the village. Lin Mojun also expressed his support and sent a small flag to be responsible for the Powder Fire Bureau and the Lead Pills. .

  After explaining all the matters, Su Ze returned to Nanping County together with the officials who had returned to the Yamen to report their orders.

  Along the way, Yu Zongyuan talked about Yanpingwei's affairs, his tone full of schadenfreude.

  "If Brother Su hadn't taken action, our Yanping Wei Yu family would have been doomed!"

  Su Ze said speechlessly for a while: "Aren't you also a member of the Yu family?"

  "Me? I have separated the family, and the court cannot punish it even if it wants to On my head!"

  Yu Zongyuan said again: "Of the three hundred households that were wiped out by the army, one of them was a personal guard trained by my brother. My father lost his temper and kicked out all the compensation and remedial matters. Give it to him."

  Second Young Master Yu did not shy away from Su Ze and told everything about the house.

  Su Ze looked on with cold eyes. Aren't the Yu family's affairs the epitome of the Ming Dynasty?

  The Japanese rebellion could not be quelled, and party strife in the imperial court was also one of the factors.

  Zhang Jing, who presided over the anti-Japanese war in Zhejiang, had a good official reputation and was politically inclined to the Qingliu faction. Naturally, he was fiercely attacked by the ruling Yan Song party.

  Zhang Jing is also a veteran. Of course he knows that the Japanese pirates are now powerful and Zhejiang officers and soldiers are afraid of fighting. However, there are one book after another in the court to impeach him. Zhang Jing must achieve something to silence these people.

  This was the defeat of Yu Dayou.

  Now the title book for participating in Zhang Jing's imperial examination has been filled with imperial cases of Emperor Jiajing. At this time, Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war was already a war both inside and outside the court.

  The southeast is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Jiajing did not make mistakes this time. He did not replace Zhang Jing, expressed support for Zhang Jing to continue to fight against the Japanese in the southeast, and beat Yan Song's party so that they would not cause trouble at the critical moment.

  However, Yu Dayou was also removed from his secular position and asked to perform meritorious service. This was equivalent to a slap on the Qingliu party and asked them to make some achievements quickly.

  Su Ze suddenly felt a little sad. The lives of the people in the southeast, the invasion of Japanese pirates, and the imperial court's coastal defense had all become tools for the party to fight against dissenters. In the eyes of the big shots in the imperial court, the fight against the Japanese in the southeast was far less important than the struggle for power and profit in the imperial court.

  Su Ze finally arrived in Nanping County. Although the atmosphere in the county was tense, there was no panic.

  Su Ze understood that the government must have blocked the news about the failure of the Yanping Wei rebellion. The people in Nanping County only knew about the rebellion of the mining pirates, but did not know about the subsequent war.

  Su Ze looked at Nanping City where order had been restored. In this era, ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

  Su Ze first followed the government officials to visit Magistrate Fang. Su Ze's cousin was named by Magistrate Fang, so the Magistrate Fang performed the student ceremony. Magistrate Fang was also very enthusiastic towards Su Ze and encouraged him to study hard. That's right to the point.

  "This time we have made a great contribution to suppressing the rebellion of Chang Ning Wei. It's a pity that the corpses of the real Japanese are difficult to identify. What?"

  Su Ze immediately understood what the prefect meant. Su Ze's plan was to accumulate food and slowly become king. As long as the rewards are in place, Qianhu's status is not important at all.

  Su Ze said: "Before the students came, Baihu had already explained to me that it is the responsibility of the Changning Guards to protect the country and the people, and the rest is entirely up to the governor."

  Fang Zhifu was even more satisfied, as it turned out that it was good to talk to smart people.

  Magistrate Fang continued: "This government will not treat meritorious people badly. In addition to the previous rewards, what difficulties does Changning Guard have?" "It is easy for bandits to

  gather near the mine supervisor. The students are planning to move the people of Changning Guard to the nearby village. Open up wasteland, these lands?"

  Fang Zhifu immediately understood what Su Ze meant, and he said: "I will ask the household to file a document with the county government. The land near the mine supervisor is ownerless and has been allocated to the Changning Guards for garrisoning. , just prepare the field register and send it to the county government for filing!" After

  talking about the business, Magistrate Fang said:
  "Rulin, have you finished writing "The Peony Pavilion"?"

  Magistrate Fang rubbed his hands and said, "My wife loves you. Listen to the play, if Ru Lin has finished writing it, can you?"

  Su Ze said immediately: "After the students go back, I will have the complete set of "The Peony Pavilion" delivered to the government office."

  Fang Zhifu appreciated Su Ze even more, and it was really comfortable to talk to Clever. .

  The prefect suddenly had an idea. Although Su Ze's family background was not prominent, he was both civil and military.

  Both parents are dead, and if the daughter gets married, she can be the head of the family.

  The more the prefect looked at Su Ze, the more he liked him, and he secretly decided that if Su Ze could pass the exam next year, he would consider betrothing his daughter to him!
