Chapter 54
After Gao Youcai talked to Gao Huan, he took the hospital guard and more than 200 village managers to return to Gaolaozhuang overnight.
As soon as they left, Song Xiance and Master Tang came to Liuzhuang with Liu Qi and others, and their faces were filled with excitement.
"Young Master, we arrived at Majiabao. While it was dark, we threw a cup of fire and shot rockets at the Majiabao, which made the Majiabao mess up a lot!" Master Tang came out of the Confucian uniform and shook his feather fan. He was very happy.
"Fortunately everyone is suffering!" Gao Huan looked at everyone with a smile, "No brother was injured and arrested!"
Liu Qi said: "We ignited Majiabao and we will withdraw immediately!"
When he heard Gao Huan care about him, Chi Bei and others smiled silly.
Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction and then said, "Everyone is going to rest. Military Commander Song, Master Tang, and all teams are staying with Chief of Fire. We will hold a meeting overnight!"
Gao Youcai let Gao Huan be independent and let him and Chi Bei move away from Gao Laozhuang. Then Gao Huan must vent his subordinates and soothe people's hearts.
Now that Ma Laoer has been driven away, the entire Liuzhuang belongs to Gao Huan, and the Zhuangzi is almost a piece of white paper, so Gao Huan can do it according to his own ideas.
At this time, the crowd was sitting in Master Liu's yard. Gao Huan looked at them and smiled and said, "I have discussed with my father. Liuzhuang's land deed is in my hands, so Zhuangzi is mine now."
The former owner, Mr. Liu, was killed by Li Jiyu, so naturally no one objected.
Gao Huan continued: "If we retreat to Gaolaozhuang now, Zhuangzi may be occupied by others. Therefore, after discussing with my father, I decided to take Chibei to station in Liuzhuang and take all the family members of the whole guy."
When the men heard that they were going to move from Gaolaozhuang to Liuzhuang, their faces changed.
After all, we have lived in Gaolaozhuang for decades, and even generations have been in Gaolaozhuang. Everyone is a little nervous when they hear that they are going to move.
"Young Master, then the crops in my fields and the house?" Yang Shulin couldn't help asking.
Gao Huan did not tell them that Gao Youcai wanted to draw a clear line with him because he was afraid of causing unstable hearts. However, now it seems that even if it is just moving, everyone still finds it difficult for a while.
"The crops in the fields will be folded into flour for you and brought them directly. As for the house, the houses in Liuzhuang are no worse than yours!" Gao Huan smiled and said, "There were more than 400 families here, and most of the houses can be lived in. I asked the military advisor to pick up the distribution for you. In addition, I looked at the land deed. There are more than 5,000 certain fields in Liuzhuang. As long as I move them over, I will prepare 20 acres of Yongye land for each household, and the fire will grow to 30 acres. The team is giving 40 acres, and only 10% of the rent per mu!"
"Give thirty acres of land and only 10% of the rent!" Yang Shulin was slightly stunned, "Or Yongyetian?"
In Gaolaozhuang, a mu of land was rented, and the tenant had no mu, but could only get 40% of the harvest, while the remaining 60% were taken away by Gao Youcai and the government.
Therefore, as long as Gao Huan becomes a renter and gives away dozens of acres of land for free, several of the Huosheng are moved.
Gao Huan said: "The remaining land is divided into verbal land. According to Ding, one vernal can be granted twenty acres, but the rent must be collected 30% and it will be collected immediately after the person dies."
Master Tang shook his feather fan on the side and smiled and said, "Young Master, this is the equal-field system in the early Tang Dynasty of the Northern Wei and the Tang Dynasty!"
Gao Huan dared to fight against the Ma family, which changed Master Tang's attitude a lot. He regarded himself as a military advisor and truly served Gao Huan.
Gao Huan nodded and smiled, "Not bad! It's Yongyetian and Guchijima, but compared with the Tang system, I will make some changes later."
No matter what the equal-field system is, everyone only sees the benefits and interests.
Wang Jingdedao: "I listen to the young master, my whole family is here!"
His family lives in a shanty town and raises livestock for Gao Youcai. Moreover, it took less than a year for him to come to Gao Laozhuang, so he was naturally happy to agree.
The others thought about it and couldn't help but temptation. Thinking that Liuzhuang was close to Gaolaozhuang anyway, and it was convenient to visit the grave and worship ancestors, they all agreed.
"Okay! You will talk about the people below!" Gao Huan smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand: "The two military advisors stay, you will be separated!"
Li Pingyuan and others immediately stood up and left, leaving only two military advisors in the yard.
Song Xiance asked in a low voice: "Young Master, are you going to start a new job?"
Gao Huan looked at Song Xiance, nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "There are land and houses in Liuzhuang, but livestock/agricultural tools/everything is lacking. If we want to gain a foothold here, we have to buy some assets. In addition, after the second son of the Ma family returned, he found that Ma family had nothing to do and would make a comeback sooner or later."
Song Xiance and Master Tang nodded slightly, their expressions became serious, and they knew that Gao Huan's current situation was not optimistic, and it could even be said to be very dangerous.
Gao Youcai was afraid of being implicated by Gao Huan, so he drew a clear line with him, which was equivalent to dispersing the strength of Gao Laozhuang, who was not strong, and let Gao Huan face the threat from the Ma family alone.
"What do you want us to do?" Although the situation was not optimistic, Song Xiance's face was relaxed.
Gao Huan said: "I want Mr. Song to go to Lin County to buy some agricultural tools/livestock/oil and salt, and try to gather some refugees and hire some carpenters/masons to come to the village!"
The Ma family is very powerful in Dengfeng County. The third and fourth brothers are both in Dengfeng County. Gao Huan dared not let Song Xiance go to Dengfeng to purchase, so he could only go to the nearby county town to buy supplies, especially to buy some piglets, chickens, ducks, and oxen.
In addition, it is necessary to recruit refugees and expand their strength.
Song Xiance nodded, "I will follow the Ying River to Yuzhou. If there is no Yuzhou, I will go to Xuchang!"
"I'll make a list later! Then let Yang Shulin bring ten people and go with Mr. Song!" Gao Huan said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Song Xiance had a task, Master Tang couldn't help but bow and said, "If the young master trusts Tang, Tang will be willing to do whatever he wants!"
Gao Huan looked at Master Tang and said, "There is indeed a very important thing that Master Tang needs to do!"
Master Tang bowed with a serious face with a fan on his face, "Young Master, just give me instructions!"
Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "There is a constant drought in the Central Plains, and the vassal states and gentry landlords have a variety of kapoks, which has caused the Central Plains to lack food. Now, a great famine is inevitable. At that time, the only thing that can save the people is food, and whoever gets more food and can give hungry people a bite of food will win the hearts of the people!"
Song Xiance and Master Tang both nodded, agreeing, "What the young master said is very much. Whoever controls the food will control the hearts of the people!"
"In this year, there are many years of drought, and wheat and beans have to be reduced in yield, and even the grains may not be harvested." Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "I heard from people! In Fujian, there are three crops that have been introduced from abroad, one is called sweet potato, one is called corn, and the other is called taro. They are all drought-tolerant and high-yield. I give Mr. Tang 500 taels of silver. I hope you will take people to Fujian to find these three crops for me, buy some seeds and transport them back!"
Master Tang was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Gao Huan actually asked him to go to Fujian. He couldn't help but retreat, "Young Master, are there really drought-tolerant and high-yield crops?"
If you want to gain a foothold in the north and not resolve the issue of food, you can only be like Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were already there in the late Ming Dynasty. If you don’t need a Gao Chuang King, Gao Huan must obtain these high-yield crops.
Although this may change the pattern in the north, it can survive countless people, so Gao Huan decided to send someone to search.
"Don't worry, Master Tang, there must be these high-yield and drought-resistant crops!" Gao Huan patted his shoulder and said firmly: "Believe me, no one knows high-yield and drought-resistant than me!"
