"Hubei Transportation Department proposes the following treatment methods."

"First, use various methods to reduce the craftsmen and mining coin in Ezhou by more than half in the next year. Eliminate inexperienced and old people who cannot work, and make reasonable allocations for the remaining craftsmen. The Transportation Department will reduce some of the taxes on gold, silver, copper and iron, but strive to restore the output to the level before the south within five years."

"Secondly, in response to the situation where the mines affect the village, the prefecture will allocate some money and grain, hire the deported mine doctors, carry out tasks of treating wastewater, cleaning slag, maintaining roads, planting trees and ore transportation. It is stated that the local craftsman leader strictly restricts the craftsman and craftsman under his command and do not cause trouble at will. Some craftsman and villagers will form a group training together to conduct inspections day and night. Once someone is found to have trouble, they will immediately send them to the government."

"If it's not possible, Consul Zheng thinks that suddenly letting tens of thousands of people lose their jobs is a joke? How many people can use it by just sweeping the road and transporting wastewater? So many people lose their livelihoods at once, and the entire Hubei region will be in turmoil." The consultant of Shouchangjun suddenly saw the dangers in Zheng Yunming's plan.

"This does not require Shou Changjun to worry about this. This dynasty is already familiar with unemployed people." Zheng Yunming said as he glanced at He Yuanshou, the general general of Huguang who was silent.

He Yuanshou naturally knew what it meant, but like Zheng Yunming, he could not make any decision on such a big thing: "Although the enemy is in front of him, it is too much to ask the court to agree to suddenly increase the organization of tens of thousands of troops..."

"There is no need to accept it all," Zheng Yunming paced in the tent for a while and said, "First ask the Jinghu Commander to find a way to organize 5,000 people and establish a first army. Then, the other miners who were unemployed and could not find anything to do were organized into ten large villages. In the barren mountains north of Jiangling Prefecture, rations and seeds were given to plowing oxen. The army sent camps and fields to supervise them to farm and produce military rations to supply the army in Xiangyang Prefecture."

Everyone in the tabernacle looked at each other and said that this plan was too large. Not to mention that the chiefs of a state could not decide, even the military and political leaders along the way did not dare to take such a big plan.

"Yunming certainly knew that this proposal would not be successful without the support of the court's official documents. Please rest assured that Zheng should make every effort to make this matter happen." Zheng Yunming said in an unquestionable tone, just like the clever and powerful speech of the Qing Dynasty in the political affairs hall in the past.

Because there was a story in Huangzhou, most officials from all over the world in Huangzhou knew clearly. He spoke as his father-in-law of the dynasty, and of course no one could question it.

After the decision, Zheng Yunming once again recruited the mine manager and the villagers' representatives and announced their opinions on the settlement in public. Although the mine manager was a little worried, he had nothing to say under Zheng Yunming's kind words. The villagers would not have any complaints.

The government originally assumed the greatest responsibility for this game. The reason why Zheng Yunming adopted this method of taking over the big responsibilities was because Ezhou was an important position in the entire Jinghu defense system. It is clearer that the northern attack was imminent. Instead of letting money and grain be robbed by the Mongolian army a year later, it is better to use it to help the people and keep people's hearts in peace. If the Mongols had the impact in front and the people of Ezhou were in chaos, then Zheng Yunming would even block the way to escape in the battle, how could he say to save the situation?

"Look, as long as the country shows a little sincerity, the people are still very reasonable." Zheng Yunming stood on the mountain and watched the huge crowd slowly disperse, and was very proud: "This matter is finally satisfactory. We will go back to Xiangyang Prefecture tomorrow!"

But real political affairs are far more complicated than Zheng Yunming could think of. The aftermath of this matter forever changed Zheng Yunming's destiny for the rest of his life.

When the Clippers of the Huangzhou Guards Ma Junsi caught up with Zheng Yunming's official ship, Zheng Yunming took Xian'er and Han Silang had already passed Yingzhou, and the ship rushed to Xiangyang.

The officers and soldiers on the clutch shouted together, keeping Zheng Yunming's ship. The two ships were moored side by side on the river bank.

Zheng Yunming stood on the bow of the ship. Before he could ask, the crane's cabin door creaked and pushed open. He was the commander-in-chief of the Ma Junsi and the governor of Huangzhou Meng Gong.

"Why are you here in person?" Zheng Yunming was shocked and quickly lifted his official robe and was about to come and see him.

"Forget it, we are already old acquaintances, why should we be so polite again?" Meng Gong said as he jumped deeper and jumped onto Zheng Yunming's ship. "There is something that must be told to face Zheng Guanren, come on, let's go into the cabin and have a detailed discussion."

Xian'er hurriedly packed the cabin and hid at the stern to cook water and tea. Han Silang was guarding the hatch with a spear in his hand.

It is the time when the cold winter has subsided and the spring is getting stronger. New green grows on the branches by the river, and snow-white reeds are flying in the air.

Meng Gong sat upright in the cabin, facing Zheng Yunming, a young counselor who was more than 20 years younger than him.

"What happened again in Ezhou." Meng Gong's understatement made Zheng Yunming feel his heart sank.

"When recruiting soldiers, the chief sent by the Jinghu Commander Division whipped a few disobedient miners, killed one and injured more than a dozen. The miners rebelled on the spot and almost killed the commander. They also blocked the officers and soldiers of Jinghu Commander Division in my Commander Division's yamen and refused to let them come out. I came forward to suppress them and arrested dozens of people who were in trouble to calm the matter down."

Zheng Yunming rubbed his hands, and his anxious mood was written on his face: "I will go back to Xiangyang Mansion immediately, and ask the Zhao General to send powerful officials to come over. I will also go to Ezhou with me, so that the recruitment can be completed smoothly!"

Meng Gong shook his head and said, "It can't work. Now the miners in Ezhou are in high spirits. They say that the government has no credit and recruiting troops is just a delaying strategy. The purpose is to trick them into remote places and execute them together. No matter whether the Chief Minister of Jinghu or Huangzhou sends people, they will not believe it. Except for one person..."

"Who is it? The governor quickly tell me the name of this person. As long as these mine managers can be successfully recruited into an army, don't say that they are visiting the cottage three times. Even if they invite him thirty times, Zheng Yunming will also invite him out of the mountain!"

Meng Gong stared at Zheng Yunming with his eyes and said word by word: "You are the one who can convince the Ezhou miners and unite them together to serve the country."

One sentence made Zheng Yun so shocked that he fell into the cabin: "I?"

Meng Gong nodded solemnly: "It's you, Official Zheng."

"No, no, don't joke," Zheng Yunming kept waving his hand, as if he had received a hot charcoal block: "War is a life of striving to sacrifice his life. I am just a playboy from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I can't hold a three-foot sword in my hand. How can I lead the troops to kill the enemy?"

"How about scholars?" Meng Gong said loudly: "Cao Youwen of the Lizhou Commander General Office was originally just a professor of the Tianshui Army. Now he is not a big army and makes achievements. When facing a great enemy and the country is in danger, what kind of scholars and martial arts should be divided into? Where did the father and son teach you the way of sacrificing your life for righteousness and seeking kindness to end the difficulties?"

"That's right, I have only been to Jinghu for more than ten days, and I have not even recognized the names of local officials. I am just a mere counselor, with a low position and low rank. If I lead alone, I have to deal with the relationship with other troops, raise military funds, food and grass, straighten up personnel relations with the top peak, and take care of the local area..."

Meng Gong shook his head and said, "Do you know why these miners refused to ask others to lead the army. Do you want you alone?"

"That's because among all the officials who went to the mediation, you were the only ones who did not use whips and sticks to deal with them."

"In the past, officials who went to Ezhou to mediate would either use whips to open the way or use sticks to drive them out. In short, they would regard them as thugs without mercy."

"Only you, Zheng Yunming, arranged for the army to enter carefully. Even if you were cursed and scolded by them, you would not fight back if you were thrown into stones and tiles. In other words, you would only treat them as kind as human beings."

"Do you know what is the most important thing in a military? Courage can motivate the three armies, discipline can purify the troops, and rewards can make people serve, but these are not the most important link."

"The most important thing in a military is trust, the trust of the general, the trust of the general, and even the trust of the general."

"War is a dangerous thing in the world. Fame and fortune are not only obtained from the enemy's head, but also from the fate of the comrades. After a fierce battle, thousands of lives were buried on the battlefield, and only the promotion of the living was given. If you were a soldier, what would you think?"

"If a general does not regard his soldiers as human beings, the lives of the soldier will probably become meaningless numbers for high-ranking officials to show their titles. In order to win the promotion of a certain official, tens of millions of lives can be exchanged. Who would be willing to be a soldier under such a person?"

"So, the only official they can trust is you, Zheng Yunming. They believe that you will not throw them away like slag on the battlefield casually, and believe that you can value them and treat them well. If you really need to fight on the battlefield and use your head to exchange for fame. Then they are only willing to do this for you."

"This is a wholehearted trust from five thousand people. In the face of this trust, do you choose to retreat?"

Zheng Yunming slowly recovered from the shock. He planned it several times in his mind and determined that there was a situation where there was advancement but no retreat.

"It's not difficult to get the officer to lead this army." Zheng Yunming replied to his sitting posture: "But the general must follow my three things."

Meng Gong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you have any conditions, just give it your guards, Ma Junshi, will find a way to do it."

"First, Yun Ming has no experience in leading the troops. When he encounters a difficult place, he must give me some advice regardless of the trouble."

Meng Gong laughed: "The way to fight is impossible to teach, no one is born from the sea of ​​blood. But don't worry, if Jianjun is confused, Feishu will come to Huangzhou to inform him, and Meng should tell you everything."

Zheng Yunming stood up and bowed in the cabin: "The students thank you for your kindness of Professor General."
