Chapter 62: It's hard work, son

Yang Kai was very happy.

The young master took action and was indeed invincible. He was worried at home for several days. When a fast horse ran to Wuyi County and told him that all the rebels from Henghai who had wandered into Wuyi were destroyed, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. The entire Wuyi was not shocked at all, and he didn't even hear any news, and the matter disappeared.

He immediately prepared a gift and went to the farm to congratulate the young master in person. Such a good opportunity to flatter, naturally he could not be missed.

Next, he was worried.

Because all the bandits were wiped out, but the thousands of people needed him to settle them.

Li Ze was not asking him, but ordering him, and he didn't have the courage to refuse. The question is, are these thousands of people so easy to settle?

"Mr. Yang County, I went to suppress the bandits under your banner this time, so you can report the merits to Yizhou, and say that you will all the soldiers of Wuyi Palace and capture all the bandits who are roaming in one place." Li Ze said with a smile. "I think the governor Cao will definitely give you a reward."

Of course, it is a good thing to ask for me, but after receiving this credit, I can't escape the subsequent events.

"This is the master's merit. How dare the subordinates beg for the achievements of heaven?" he said stutteringly.

"My affairs must not be revealed. You are the only one to take over this credit." Li Ze's face darkened, "Is there any difficulty for County Magistrate Yang?"

"No, no, no, no, there is no difficulty!" Yang Kai immediately agreed loudly when he saw Li Ze's face changed. "But young master, how can we place these thousands of people, so many elderly, weak, women and children?"

"What's the difficulty? These people have no other requests for the time being, they just want to survive." Li Ze said easily: "I remember that there is still a lot of wasteland on the side of Daqing Mountain? That's the public land in the county, right?"

"It's the public land in the county."

"Isn't it enough to share these public lands with these people? I can't do anything this winter, but in the next spring, I will let these people open up land and farm." Li Ze said: "Mr. Yang, you should look at it longer. Wuyi is only two thousand households, one central county. Now there are more than these thousand people, and you can have hundreds more households. If Wang Er runs for you, you can become a county. This is also helpful for your career, right? These hundreds of households will still pay taxes? Among these thousands of people, there are three or four hundred young and strong people. After training, you will have three or four hundred more soldiers. No matter when the county has increased the household registration and the population has increased. It is a good thing for Wuyi, Yizhou, and even Chengde, right?"

Yang Kai smiled and said with apologized: "Young Master, I understand the truth, but the key is how do they live this winter?"

"The county can't even get this little grain, right?" Li Ze asked.

"If it were in previous years, it would not be a big problem, but this year would become a big problem!" Yang Kai said with a frown: "The Chengde Jiedu Prefecture increased the tax once, and the governor Cao added another tax again, and also levyed a lot of grain. The surplus grain in the county has been wiped out, and there are still grains in the warehouses, but young master, I dare not touch this grain after eating it! That is war preparation grain. If this grain is moved, the governor Cao will really want my head."

Looking at Yang Kai's face of pain, Li Ze knew that he was telling the truth. To put it bluntly, it was still Lu Long's case. In previous years, it would not be a particularly difficult thing to move the grain in the Changquan warehouse. But now, who knows when the war will start? What if the harvest will not be done next year? Once the grain is transferred and the grain cannot be taken out, Yang Kai will definitely not be able to take out the claws. He was pulled out, can he still hide it? He must have to put the jar he offered to escape from the crime, and then he will be revealed to the world.

"So, I can only make plans on the wealthy families in the county!" Li Ze touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Yang Kai looked at Li Ze and thought to himself that the biggest rich man in Wuyi is you!

But he dared to think about this, but he didn't dare to say it.

Looking at his eyes, Li Ze knew what he was thinking: "Of course I would take out money and food. You don't have to look at me like this. Since these people were caught by me, I naturally wouldn't watch them starve to death."

"But young master, who has no background relationship in the county? My little body can't stand it!" Yang Kai looked at Li Ze bluntly.

"Don't look at me. If you think of a solution, do you have no other people's relationship? Mr. Wang is so old that he has a backer. Is it natural to use it at this time? If you don't have a king, don't endorse you, are you still afraid that you can't pay for it?" Li Ze sneered.

"I, I'm just afraid that Wang Don't think I'll cause trouble for him." Yang Kai said worriedly.

"Don't be fooled!" Li Ze clicked Yang Kai's forehead: "You were recommended to serve as the magistrate of Wuyi County. Now you have given him a good face, wiped out thieves, and added so many households to Yizhou. This shows that Wang Don't be keen on his wise eyes and is very proud. How could he feel troublesome? Don't care if you don't care, let these thousands of people starve to death in your territory. He will be faced. If such a thing happens, he will be in trouble!"

Yang Kai said thoughtfully: "That's the reason!"

"When you go back, write a letter to Wang Biejia to report your merits. Remember, letter, you should give Wang Biejia directly, don't go through the normal procedures." Li Ze advised, "Then Wang Biejia will naturally find a way for you for the rest of the matter. Of course, you can't point to Wang Biejia all the main thing. The wealthy merchants in the county are all happy to donate. This is a good deed and a good deed. Whoever doesn't do it, might as well give them some excellence. Whoever dares to go to the state will clean up for you."

"I understand, I understand!" Yang Kai looked at the young man in front of him with admiration. The way of being an official was much more experienced than him. As expected, he was a general.

"The wealthy merchants in the county are happy to donate. If the state subsidizes a portion of the money, it will be enough to survive this winter. When spring begins tomorrow, the days will be better and everything will be revived. Even if you go to make wild vegetables, you can get a lot of food. The officials will do it here. You don't have to leave here."

"Am I like this?" Li Ze knocked on the table impatiently, "Don't worry, you have to make a charter, I'll be the one who comes out, you'll be worth it."

"Young Master Gao Yi." Yang Kai bowed gratitude repeatedly. With the biggest rich man in Wuyi taking action, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do this matter by himself, but it was much smaller.

"But, I'm a little worried about this matter, your subordinates and those people, all of whom have to scrape off a layer of iron filings. With so much money and food passing by their hands, I'm worried that how many of them will fall into the hands of these refugees in the end is really worth thinking about." Li Ze knocked on the table and stared at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai was about to gamble and scold, swearing that he would stare at these people tightly and not give them a chance to take advantage of it. But when he saw Li Ze's faint gaze, he suddenly became blessed and suddenly understood.

"Young Master said it very well. They are all greedy. I am really worried about so many things that have passed by their hands. You have worked hard to rescue these refugees. You can just not bother the second master. When the money and food arrive, I will hand them all over the young master immediately. The young master will resettle these people. I wonder if the young master will be too hard?"

Yang Kai was very accomplicated, Li Ze was very satisfied. He stood up and patted Yang Kai on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Thank you for a little hard work, but since these people were brought back by me, I always have to take some responsibility, right? Besides, who made my surname Li, right? Hahaha!"

A stone in Yang Kai's heart fell to the ground. It seemed that this time the flattery was right. Although this way, he would have fewer opportunities to make money, would he be afraid of not making money in the future with Mr. Li Ze and Mr. Li? Just the big house that the young master gave him this year, he would never be able to afford it in his life.

As long as you follow the right person, your future will be bright. What can the small loss in front of you count?

"Then it's going to be hard work for the young master." Yang Kaimei smiled and said.

"Yeah, yeah, it's harder, but it's so hard. County Magistrate Yang, I'll stay here for a meal today. Haha, you've come to me a lot. I haven't served you once. I must have a meal today." Li Ze said with a smile.
