Waiting for good

Yang Ling pointed to the tomato seedlings and was gesturing the shape of the fruit, describing its color and taste vividly, which made the two little girls Xuelimei and Yutangchun drool. Han Youniang, Cui Ying'er and others also listened with relish.

A grim smile flashed by Yang Hu's lips and murderous intent in his eyes were not hidden from standing by the side. Cheng Qiyun, who seemed to be leisurely playing with a few sweet potato seedlings, approached Yang Ling without a trace and smiled: "Sir, Madam is pregnant, she is very frustrated here, so let's go back."

Yang Ling said, "Ah, I forgot about it, haha, let's go up." He held the young lady considerately and said, "

Brother Yang and his wife are the leaders of the gang, and those who travel around the world will definitely have the opportunity to come to the capital again. When you come to the capital again next autumn, you will see sweet potatoes, potatoes, and golden ears of corn. By the year after year, these things can be planted everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

The people are suffering, but in such a great tomorrow, tens of millions of people can do it overnight if they want to have enough food and clothing. These crops are several times higher than before, and can save many people from hunger."

He remembered that the internal factory used carriages and horses to create momentum in all parts of the world, spreading news that the court intends to lift the maritime ban and allow the people to trade abroad. Seeing that Yang Fu and his wife are able to buy grain to provide disaster relief, his horse gang must be quite powerful, and he is also a person who can win the crowd. He said: "

Brother Yang’s horse gang specializes in helping big merchants transport salt, grain and goods? Now some ministers are preparing to suggest to the court that the sea ban will be lifted and the sea ban will be sanitized. By then, overseas trade will be carried out, and goods transportation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be more prosperous. Brother Yang’s business will also be rich."

Yang Hu felt even more murderous intent when he heard this, but of course he would not be stupid to take action now. Yang Hu answered with a smile while secretly looking at the warm cellar environment. Wu Hanchao said from the side: "It turns out that this matter is not groundless. After Xiao Ke went down the mountain, he kept hearing this news spreading everywhere. It seems that the Ming Dynasty forbidden seas for more than a hundred years, and finally the sea border is about to be opened."

Several people climbed up the steps, and Wu Hanchao said again: "The adults are in the court, so the news is naturally much better than us. However, following the adults' tone, they intend to advise the court to open up the sea border, but they want to lift the sea ban in one fell swoop and open trading ports everywhere?"

Yang Ling looked at him strangely and asked, "If there are few opponents, you will naturally have to go through it once and for all. Wouldn't that be good? What's your opinion?"

Wu Hanchao thought for a while and said, "Little guy is foolish, haste will not be achieved. Nowadays, the pirates are still rampant. They open up the sea ban and need to eliminate pirates first. However, it is not a matter of one day or one night to eliminate the bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings. What's more, it's not a matter of being on the boundless sea? Moreover, the Ming Navy is not good at naval battles, so he must train an elite soldier before he can. This cannot be done in one go.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty now only has one port to receive envoys from various countries that pay tribute. If the coastal areas are open overnight, all the maritime departments are established in a hurry, without any officials who understand the management of the sea, and without regular rules and regulations, it is profitable at first sight. The gentry and gentry in various places will definitely intervene. Once the management is corrupt, the people will suffer, and foreign businessmen will escape. No matter how good the national policy is, it will become a cool law to harm the people.

Small can be done. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. Even if it is a matter of helping the people, if the heat is urgent, a good dish will be burned. It is better to open three or two ports first, so that the court will be conducive to supervision and at the same time, it will be swept away the thieves at sea.

When the pirates cannot make a big deal, the court also has the experience of trading in the sea and the fact that local tax authorities and the people benefit, all regions will definitely respond with all their strength, and then they can make a concerted effort to lift the ban in a complete manner."

After he finished speaking, he saw Yang Ling stopping. He looked at him in a daze, and stopped unconsciously. He said embarrassedly: "Xiaoke...Xiaoke is stupid, and he said it out for a moment when he thought about it. His words were quite naive, which made the adults laugh."

Yang Ling shook his head happily and said, "Otherwise, Brother Wu travels around the world and travels thousands of miles better than reading thousands of books. These words are very insightful, which makes Yang admire him. Lord Lingzun is an official of the court. Brother Wu has learned a lot of civil and military skills. I think he doesn't want to be buried among the grass, right? I wonder if he is willing to stay in the capital to serve the court?"

When Wu Hanchao heard this, he was happy and quickly responded: "Xiaoke travels around the world, and wants to increase his experience. One day, he will serve the court and make achievements. If adults think that Xiaoke is still worthy of making achievements, Hanchao will voluntarily follow the horse's tail."

You should know that the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature but not martial arts. It was not until the eighth year of Tianshun that the "Military Law" was promulgated, but there was not even one who signed up for the military examination that year. In the second martial arts examination in the fourth year of Chenghua, only two people were won.

Emperor Hongzhi was good at civil governance, but he was negligent in martial arts. Seeing that his martial arts were loose, he selected the Wuxiong Sect exam in the 17th year of Hongzhi, and officially designated it as a test every three years. However, in the 17th year of Hongzhi, he won forty martial arts and Jinshi, and only one of them was promoted to the general of the general in just two years, and most of the others were not valued.

Next year is the first year of Zhengde. Wu Hanchao originally wanted to find an official position through the Martial Arts Conference. If Yang Ling was willing to appreciate and use him, it would be a shortcut. Yang Ling was very happy to see him agreeing. The group went out of the warm cellar. Yang Hu secretly recorded the terrain of the Yang Mansion courtyard, and then thanked Yang Ling and said goodbye.

Yang Ling and Youniang sent Yang Hu and his wife out of the door. Just as they were about to pull Wu Hanchao to the study room for a good chat, they saw Cheng Qiyun standing behind everyone and winking at him, and the corners of her mouth were tilted. Yang Ling was stunned and smiled at Wu Hanchao quietly and said, "Brother Wu, have a good rest. Yang has invited several colleagues from the inner factory to attend the banquet tomorrow. At that time, Brother Wu will be invited to attend and recommend them."

Although Wu Hanchao had not yet officially entered the officialdom, he had just answered and was considered half a person from the court. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I'll listen to the orders of the Lord."

Yang Ling and a group of women arrived at the back house. Cheng Qiyun folded her waist lightly, and she curled her blessings. She said a few words to Yang Ling and Han Youniang, walked to the flower hall slowly. When she picked up the curtain, she looked back quickly and then went lightly and gracefully.

Yang Ling also stood up and said, "Chengzhangtou has already put down all the land in the surrounding villages. It's too early to eat. I'll go and discuss with her various preparations for farmland."

He glanced at Gao Wenxin and smiled and said, "Wenxin, don't go back, have a meal here tonight." He said to the little girl Yun'er, "Go and tell Wenlan."

Han and Gao were all together and became Jinlan, and love was sisters. Just Gao Wenxin cured Yang Ling's illness and made her pregnant with her husband's flesh. Han Youniang was already feeling it. She didn't want to neglect Gao Wenxin, so she hurriedly held her hand and smiled, "Your husband is here to do it, my sister and I will go back to the room to talk."

Yang Ling nodded and walked to Cheng Qiyun's room. As soon as he entered the study, he bowed and said, "I misunderstood the girl, it's my fault. I'm sorry to the girl. If you don't remember the villain's mistakes, don't take it to heart."

Cheng Qiyun looked at the pitiful look he pretended to be, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even though she still felt a little resentful in her heart, she also disappeared. She gave Yang Ling a blank look and said, "Sir, how dare you remember it in your heart, sir?"

Yang Ling stood up and said deliberately: "Then I feel relieved. I thought the girl called me here to ask for a crime."

Cheng Qiyun snorted as if angry and happy. Then her face became solemn and she said softly: "Do you know the details of Yang Fu and his wife?"

When Yang Ling heard her sounds outside her strings, she couldn't help but wonder: "This couple is very skilled in martial arts. Liu Qianhu once became suspicious of the identity of Mrs. Yang. Why did she doubt that they were not from the horse gang?"

Cheng Qiyun shook her head gently and said, "Yes, they are horse gangs. There are the most horse gangs in the world, Gansu and Shaanxi, but the largest horse gang in the north are their husband and wife."

Yang Ling sighed relieved and smiled, "That's it. The horse gang travels around the world, helps people to escort goods, and wears the chariot and escort bureau. Of course, they must have good martial arts."

Cheng Qiyun sat down leisurely and chuckled, "Yes, so there is no problem at this point. If the adults send someone to check their identities, household ties, and road abilities, there will still be no problem at all, but Bei Zhi just happens to know their other identities."

Yang Ling's eyes narrowed and he sat down opposite him. He asked, "What is your identity?"

Cheng Qiyun said word by word: "Jiang, Yang, Da, thief!"

Yang Ling glanced at her and murmured, "Strange, it seems that there is nothing you don't know about the world. Even the people in the government don't know their identities, do you know?"

Cheng Qiyun admired his expression, but she didn't dare to tell the whole story of the news. This man is good at everything, but he is a little cautious. If he knew that he had something to hide from him, wouldn't he trust him even more in the future?

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, "Black and white are the same as water and fire. In this world, some people live in the light, some people live in the dark, and adults hang high above the temple. Of course, they don't know these things that are all three religions and all the other things.

Bei Zhi didn't recognize them, but Bei Zhi knew that there was such a couple who were professing to be a horse gang, secretly being a thief in the green forest, and were running around to contact each other and trying to rebel. Her husband's surname was Yang and his wife's surname was Cui. She had an amazing career and was about the same age as them. If it were an adult, would you still regard them as good people?"

Yang Ling's eyes flashed, staring at Cheng Qiyun without saying a word for a long time. Cheng Qiyun said again: "When the adults were boasting about those crops in the warm cellar, Bei Zhi saw that Yang Fu looked at the adults with murderous aura. Bei Zhi was confident that he still had this vision and would never misread it."

Yang Ling pondered: "I met Mrs. Yang by accident. Uncle and nephew Yang Quan came to the capital to find me temporarily. Yang Fuduo would not have been prepared for me and wanted to get close to me. The thief in Jiangyang intends to rebel, so he should stay away from the court. If you expect it, what will the couple come to the capital to do?"

Cheng Qiyun rolled his eyes and said, "The humble rank is not a living god, how do I know? I don't think they will go crazy, thinking that if they go to Beijing and kill the emperor, they can live in the world. Besides, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, how can they break into the Forbidden City? They can't guess what humble rank they come to the capital, but when they were in the warm cellar, Yang Fu suddenly had a murderous intent to the adults."

She frowned her charming eyebrows, played with her pen tube, and said softly: "If I am Yang Hu, a thief who is planning a rebellion, and if I have the opportunity to meet an adult, you must focus on making friends. You are a senior official of the court. From you, you will definitely help our great affairs."

She dropped her brush, stood up and walked slowly in the room with her hands on her back, as if she had put herself in Yang Hu who was trying to rebel, and thought hard and said, "But I entered the Yang Mansion to get in touch with you. Why did I suddenly have murderous intent? You didn't tease my wife..."

Yang Ling couldn't help feeling angry and funny when he heard the next sentence. Just as he was about to answer, Cheng Qiyun's eyes suddenly lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "I thought of it, I thought of it, if it was me, I would kill you!"

Yang Ling was startled and asked, "Kill me? What's the reason?"

Cheng Qiyun's eyes shone brightly. She looked at him excitedly and said, "You said that those crops can be planted in a wide range, so that many people can be spared from hunger and cold!"

She smiled with a 'scandal' face and said, "If you want to seize the world, you must first seize the people's hearts. If the people can fill their stomachs, who will rebel with me? If it were me, I would not only kill you, but also destroy those crops to eliminate future troubles!"

When she said this, her eyes met Yang Ling, and both of them were fixed there. After a while, Cheng Qiyun woke up from her excitement. Her face turned hot and she said embarrassedly: "I...I mean Yang Hu wants to kill you. It's not that I want to kill you."

Yang Ling slowly stood up, let out a long breath, turned around and walked out, Cheng Qiyun said panic: "Sir... where are you going?"

Yang Ling stopped and said, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. I just told them that after the New Year, I'll ask people to take grain to all over the place. If they are really the pair of male and female thieves you mentioned, it's only these two things that I have to do. I'll ask someone to go up the mountain to summon Liu Biao, Yang Yiqing comes down, you'll wait for me here."

Yang Hu and Cui Ying'er walked together, wandering around the horse, thinking about their own thoughts. When they left the village and turned onto the Guan Road, Cui Ying'er suddenly said to Yang Hu, "Brother Hu..."

Yang Hu's eyes flashed, and he was thinking about what he was thinking, but he didn't react for a moment. Cui Ying'er's wrist shook and the horse whip "bang" in the air, shouting: "Yang Hu!"

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment and looked back: "Hmm? Oh...what's happening?"

Cui Ying'er kicked the horse's belly and moved the horse closer. She said to him: "You said...if it is true as this Lord Yang said, the people can eat their stomachs and punish those illegal officials. Opening the sea and communicating with trade, can the country be prosperous and the people strong?"

Yang Hu sneered: "You haven't eaten enough of the hardships of the Ming officials? Why did the old man occupy the mountains and become kings? Didn't he be forced by the court? They are willing to do good deeds for the people unless the sun strikes the west and want the people to live a good life, they have to overthrow the court and create another world!"

Cui Ying'er frowned and sighed softly: "I suddenly felt that we thought it was too simple. Even if you were allowed to sit in the Longting Court, the people would have food, food, clothing and clothing? Look at what they said just now. It is obviously a good thing for the court to lift the ban and trade, and they cannot rush to do it. They are scholars, and what they say must have their reasons. You and I are still fighting and killing, and governing the world is really that simple?"

Yang Hu said boldly: "What's the difficulty? If you conquer the world, naturally there will be scholars who come to join us. Zhu Yuanzhang, a little novice monk and a cowherd, hasn't he been sitting in the world? Haha, wait, what's ready for your husband is almost done. Just wait for the time to rise up. At that time, I will sit in the dragon court, and you will be my big feet queen."

Cui Ying'er raised her eyebrows and raised her whip, but it fell gently on his shoulder, and said with a angrily smile: "What are you talking nonsense, are you big feet?"

Yang Hu laughed loudly, and saw that Cui Ying'er was not angry, so he took the opportunity to say, "Ying'er, after I go back, I will summon people. You and my husband will do it tonight..." He lowered his voice and said with all his hands: "You entangle the one named Wu, I will lead people to kill Yang Ling's family and destroy the warm cellar."

Cui Ying'er was shocked, and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and said, "What did you say? I see that Yang Ling is a good official, what did you do if you killed him?"

Yang Hu said: "My wife, we are about to do something. If Yangling does something Western crop is really high and good harvest? If we are willing to follow us, we will have to reduce our lives by half. Can you still become the queen of the world?"

Cui Ying'er said in surprise and angrily: "What are you talking about? Why do we want to rebel? If he can really make the people in our hometown have enough food, why do we still have to rebel? Aren't we all forced up the mountain by officials who do not treat the people as human beings? If the crops are really good things, how can we do something that is sorry to the people of the farm?"

Seeing this, Yang Hu hurriedly smiled and changed his words: "I think he was talking nonsense. How could those things have such a big effect? ​​How could he bewitched people's hearts and ruin our major events?"

Cui Ying'er said disapprovingly: "What's the matter? Whether what he said is true can be seen in less than a year."

Yang Hu said: "But if a big thing is done this time when we go to Beijing, we will have to raise an army in less than a year. Besides... the father-in-law took out all his life savings to recruit soldiers and horses. We cannot disappoint the old man. If he accomplished a big thing early, he would make the old man the country..."

Cui Ying'er's pretty face sank and said angrily: "I won't agree! What is this reason? What we are saying to our brothers is to do the way for heaven, not to be for the sake of his own glory and wealth. Besides, he is a great official in the court. If he is killed, the court will definitely be alert. Although that man has arranged an internal support, he may not be able to catch the big fish by then. You should be more at ease!"

Yang Hu was always afraid. Seeing her firm tone, he turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife. What do you say will do!"

Yang Ling sent people up the mountain to summon Liu Biao, and Yang Yiqing came down. The two thousand households were in charge of the military force of the inner factory's criminal prison. The subordinates each controlled a team of elite troops who chose the local area. Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun came to the Zhongtang Study to taste tea for a while, and the two had already rushed from the mountain.

When Yang Ling saw Wu Jie also went down the mountain, he was a little surprised. He hurriedly stood up and greeted him, "Why did Mr. Wu be alarmed?"

Wu Jie smiled and said, "I have other important things to report to the Lord."

Yang Ling signaled Liu, and Yang and the others sat down and asked Wu Jie: "What's the point of trouble that Mr. Wu has to go down the mountain in person?"

Wu Jie put away his smile and saw that there were only Cheng Qiyun and Liu Yang in the room, both of Yang Ling’s confidants, so he said, “Sir, the news has been sent back from the Three Guards of Duoyan.”

Yang Ling was overjoyed and asked quickly: "When I saw Huadang? What did he say?"

Wu Jie sighed softly and said, "Sir, our people saw Huadang. After talking about the conditions offered by the court, the three guards of Duoyan are currently having a hard time. They were moved by such generous conditions, but..."

Yang Ling said anxiously: "But what?"

Wu Jie said helplessly: "But... since Li Hao killed thousands of people in the Duoyan Sanwei for no reason, the noble chiefs of the Duoyan Sanwei have become more and more jealous of the Ming Dynasty. They said that the generals of the Ming Dynasty can do such a treacherous thing. They can't believe that we can send a messenger, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must promise in person before they can cooperate with us."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Reply to them. Ask them to send envoys, and the emperor will definitely meet them. He will personally appease them."

Wu Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, the three guards of Duoyan have always been good at everything between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty, and they are always good at fighting. Although these people are brave and good at fighting, they know how to use the opportunity to bargain than the most cunning merchants. Now we have something to ask for them, and once we trade with us and restrain the rear of the Tatars, we will risk breaking with Boyan, and we cannot make the decision even if we are alone.

Our people waited there for five days. The chiefs of the three tribes of Duoyan were quarreling with each other. Some agreed, some opposed, and some mixed with each other. In the end, they decided to decide and were willing to accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, but..."

Wu Jie glanced at Yang Ling and plucked up the courage and said, "He asked the Emperor of Ming to meet with him and the three tribal leaders elected by Duoyan's three guards to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and to make blood an alliance. Only then did they obey the court, trade with the Ming Dynasty, restrain Tatars, and provide war horses in the Hetao area at a fair price."

Yang Ling was stunned and hesitated for a while and said, "This..., Hua Dang and the three tribal leaders want to meet the emperor? They probably... will not come to Beijing to see the emperor."

Wu Jie laughed dryly and said softly: "Uh...yes, the three guards of Duoyan were worried that the court was sending Xu again, so they took the opportunity to seize the four major leaders as hostages. So... asked to meet with the emperor on Baideng Mountain ten miles outside Datong City."

Yang Ling's eyes were straightened when he heard this. He knew that the three guards of Duoyan were not deliberately making things difficult for him, but were indeed fooled and afraid by the Ming Dynasty. The chiefs of these ethnic groups outside the border would not understand that they could go to any place on the grassland at will. It would be difficult for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to leave the capital and run to Baideng Mountain to meet the chiefs of the tribe? How could that be possible!

Yang Ling was stunned for a while before saying, "If you send someone to contact them, you can go there or the Grand Secretary of the court. You can take the emperor's imperial edict to show our sincerity. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty really cannot leave the capital."

Wu Jie sighed: "I said that Hua Dang wanted to agree. After all, he was the leader of the three guards of Duoyan, and many people starved to death this winter. He was eager to accept assistance from the Ming Dynasty, but more than half of the tribal leaders of the Duoyan nobles disagreed. They said... The transaction with the Ming Dynasty was also the will of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Li Hao was the second-rank minister of the Ming Dynasty and the largest military officer. Unless they met the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in person, they would not cooperate with the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Ling walked in the room for a while, waved his hand and said, "Forget it. When I have seen the emperor, I will talk about it if it really doesn't work, so I ask the emperor to send a royal family member to come forward and ask the emperor to see him? How is this possible?"

Wu Jie replied: "Yes, Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren have arrived in Datong. The two of them didn't know what they were doing, but suddenly stopped and stopped. Once the Tatars retreated, they immediately went out in full swing, and the light cavalry was in front of them and they refused to let go. The Tatars counterattacked and retreated into the city and could not leave. The two sides were in a stalemate and tangled war, and the situation was not in a hurry at this moment."

Yang Ling was a little funny when he heard this. If the Tartars were replaced by Zhang Fei, they would probably yell outside Datong City in the face of such a situation: "War without fighting, retreat without retreat, but why!"

He couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing. Since the war was not too tight, he didn't bother to ask more questions. He nodded and turned to Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing and said, "I came to you today because I may be in trouble, but it may be just a false alarm..."

Yang Ling said: "As the end of the year approaches, I originally wanted my brothers to celebrate the festival easily. I am afraid that I will work hard for them."

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Raising troops for a thousand days. When used for a while, these guys don't look like a holiday in our factory on weekdays? If you have anything, just give me instructions. The elite soldiers who I trained with Yiqing have not had a chance to serve."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Okay, after these days, each brother will reward five taels of silver and give them a big vacation."

He walked to the table and sat down, saying, "A group of horse gangs have recently come to the capital. They have legal officials and no one knows them locally. Unless they are arrested for being arrested for justice, there is probably no way to find them out. But please come to the poster to tell Mr. Wu about the details and send a few smart and capable people to explore, be careful not to disturb them."

He stretched out his finger, drew a circle on the table, and said, "Liu Biao, Yiqing, this is Gao Laozhuang. Our inner factory is working hard here. Mr. Wu set up many open and hidden piles in and outside the village. You can use these places to lay down your elite soldiers day and night."
Chapter completed!
