The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 484

Yingzhou was temporarily taken over by the army, and there was no magistrate of the prefecture. Yao Gu clasped his fists on the horse and said, "Short slaughter, it's hard work so far away, let's rest and eat in Yingzhou."

Seeing that Yao Gu's expression did not seem to be fake, Yang Lin nodded. These generals only look at the interests of the clan.It's no secret that his widowed sister-in-law is his confinement.

Yang Lin is now the biggest backer of the Yao family, and the Yao family has replaced Zhong and Zhe to become the biggest force in the army.

His adopted son Yao Pingzhong, who was also his student, commanded the Western Army.Of course Yao Gu would not ruin his family's future for this kind of thing. Now that Yang Shaozai is in full swing, no one dares to say that he will not make further progress.

At that time, the world will only know that my Yao family will live with the country, and that my honor and favor will be unlimited, so who will take care of these bad things.

Yang Lin didn't take it to heart at all, that Zhe Huanxiang was enchanting and charming, if he didn't do it, he would have to stay in this deep house and compound all his life as a widow, and he was still a virgin, it was a waste of money.

God did not create such beauties in order to let them stay in the boudoir alone and die alone.

Yang Lin nodded and led the crowd into Yingzhou Mansion, the streets were deserted.However, there are also a few brave ones on the side of the road, who have already opened the door to make a living, and they are just making money from these big soldiers.

Even the soldiers standing on both sides were sparsely lined up. Yang Lin was more satisfied: "There is nothing to be afraid of the plague. It is nothing more than the three words of Shu, Jiang, and Zhi. I think this Yingzhou government is doing nothing. That's right, Yao Gu, you really impress me."

Yao Gu smiled modestly, and thought to himself, this has nothing to do with me, your nephew seems to be really capable.Since ancient times, the plague has never been controlled so quickly.

Yang Keshi said: "Don't worry, young master, we have listened to Xu Shuwei's words and set aside a house in Yingzhou Mansion for the sick to live in. We will also give them enough soup and medicine every day. It depends on whether you live or die." Their good fortune."

"Once a disease infects a family, the mild ones live ten lives, and the severe ones live one or two lives out of ten. Within the environment, the rate is so high." Yao Gu said: "It's hard to survive, and it's bad luck to die. Alas, I don’t know how many tens of thousands of good sons have been lost this time.”

Yang Lin felt like his heart was bleeding, even if he went shopping with the Jurchen Tartars, so many people couldn't die.

After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe, and this Jurchen Tartar is a catastrophe.Wherever you go, you leave corpses all over the ground, and you don't care about killing them or burying them. They are indeed the biggest enemy of the civilized world, and it is absolutely difficult to coexist with them.

At the banquet, it was very simple, it was just some military food, and they made a roast sheep feast.

This is Yingzhou Prefecture, which has been separated from the Central Plains for a long time, and has gradually incorporated some foreign elements.

Yang Lin asked a few words to appease the refugees in Yingzhou Prefecture. This place has been ruled by Khitan for a long time, and many foreign races inevitably flowed in.

There are Han people, Khitan people, Tangxiang people, Tatars and Uighurs

Yao Gu said with a distressed face, "Some scholars don't obey the rules. They are lazy and like to make troubles. Many of these people are the children of rich families. They come here with their servants. They usually bully the local people. No one dares to provoke them." .”

"Hit it." Yang Lin tore up a piece of barbecue, and cursed, "There are all kinds of birds in the forest, so that's what I'm talking about. Yunnei is a land of plague, and it's a land of Xinfu, but it's not a land outside the law."

Speaking of this, Yang Lin frowned and asked, "There are many such scholars?"

Yang Keshi, who was cutting the meat at the side, laughed and said after hearing this, "Slaughter less, if two or three wolves are mixed into a flock of sheep, the flock will be in chaos. There are not many of these people, but they are not light."

Yang Lin chewed the meat, and said, "That's easy to handle. Use one trick to kill chickens and monkeys, find a few troublemakers, and establish a reputation in Yunnei of Yingzhou. If you persist for a few more days, the Ministry of Officials will already be selecting officials in Yunnei." .”

These generals looked happy, they had had enough of being stationed here, they just hoped that the army would not be responsible for these trivial matters.

They just took a rest in Yingzhou, and Yang Lin and his party rushed to Datong early the next morning.

The closer you get to Datong, the more obvious the remnants of the war are. In many places, there are hill-like mounds piled up, and countless corpses are buried underneath.

In this bloody battle, you come and go, Khitan, Jurchen, and Song people each fought a few bloody battles, killing all the grass and trees, and the smell is everywhere, and I don't know how many people died.

Now the dust has settled, but the wounds cut in Yunnei by this battle cannot be healed overnight, and Datong is the deepest wound.

A group of western troops under Yao Pingzhong's command came and went like the wind, stirring up dust all over the ground.

There is devastation, there is a lot of waste, and people are needed everywhere.

Yang Lin has already noticed that there are many young people who are not very strong and don't look very strong, struggling to carry the wood.

For the same size of wood, there are usually two people in the army, and sometimes more than a dozen people carry one, which is the scholar who came to help Yunnei.

After Yang Lin saw it, he laughed unconsciously. It wasn't that he was being unkind, it was really funny.

Scholars in this era, who are self-disciplined and from poor families, study hard in the cold window, shake their heads and study the scriptures and history Ziyi, and they don't even get a few times in the sun.

The family background is good, even worse, looking for flowers and willows, poetry and songs, and singing every night.

Among the hundred or so scholars, there are a few strong ones, which is not bad.

I hope that this time, their pale faces will look more normal.

Yao Pingzhong came with a group of generals on horseback and met Yang Lin on the outskirts of the city.

After dismounting, Yao Pingzhong took off his helmet, covered his face covered with white cloth with sweat, and clasped his fists and said, "Master, rebuilding Datong Mansion requires bricks, stones, wood, lime, and iron. The Ministry of Finance has not allocated money and food for half a month."

"Nowadays, the national treasury can't afford too much money. The north has been fighting for years, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are at every turn. The south is preparing to build a navy, and there is also the Cochin Rebellion, digging canals, and money is everywhere." Yang Lin represented the household department. Said a few words.

Yao Pingzhong didn't think so, and said, "Teacher, this disciple thinks that Yunnei should be the most important thing. If this place is not repaired firmly, I don't know how many times more money and food will be spent in the future. If the city of Datong falls, it will not be the loss of this star." .”

Once a city like Datong is lost, it may not be possible to win it after several years of siege.

At that time, the loss of soldiers, money, food, and supplies is indeed not a small amount.

Yang Lin nodded, and said, "I'll ask the ministers of the court to think about a solution. But this tree, the forest in Hebei is being felled, and it just happens to be brought over for use."

At the beginning, all sixteen prefectures of Youyun were cut off, and Hebei suddenly became the border. In order to prevent the Khitan from going south, I don’t know how many trees were planted in the past hundred years, and the emperors of all dynasties would also issue special edicts to protect these trees. There were already towering giant trees everywhere.

These dense forests have indeed played a certain role, but now Hebei is inland, protected by the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, so it is not likely to be trampled by iron hooves again.

Now the roads in Hebei can no longer leave people. The plan to cut down trees has been implemented long ago. A lot of timber has been transported to Bianliang. The timber market there is a bottomless pit, and more or less can be consumed.

With Yang Lin's order, they had to be diverted to Yunnei, but luckily they were not far away.

Datong City has not been cleaned up yet, and the rotting corpses on various streets exude a disgusting rotten smell.

Yang Lin came to the big camp of the Western Army on the outskirts of the city. There was loud snoring in the big tent. Xu Shuwei was already sleepy from exhaustion, still wearing linen and green clothes.

Yang Lin chuckled, and kicked him lightly in the past, Xu Shuwei slowly opened his eyes, and said in a daze, "Uncle, are you going back to Bianliang?"

"Go back to Bianliang, the plague has not been cleared up here, my good nephew, you have to continue to shine." Yang Lin supported his shoulders and encouraged him.

Only then did Xu Shuwei wake up, rubbed his eyes, and complained, "My good uncle, there are too few doctors here. Sometimes the prescriptions are ready, and you can't find someone to make the medicine."

Yang Lin glared at him and said, "Isn't there Han Shizhong's military medical camp?"

"A drop in a bucket, a drop in a bucket." Xu Shuwei was about to start a long speech, but Yang Lin hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Then Han Shizhong's military medical camp was also taught by you, why don't you continue to recruit apprentices in Yunnei, and replace them with work. Isn’t it easy for you?”

Uncle Xu sighed slightly, the uncle in front of him seemed to have to squeeze himself dry.

He whispered, "Uncle, your niece and daughter-in-law will never be able to give birth to a son. I am in Bianliang, and I just found a concubine. If I die here, our Xu family will die."

Yang Lin laughed, smug on his face, patted his chest and said, "It's just a son. I have plenty of these things. If it doesn't work, I'll adopt one for you. But I have to tell you that if you can't have a son, it has something to do with both husband and wife." .Look at Uncle, isn’t he so strong that he can have so many children? You can’t do it, don’t be embarrassed, next time I will whip Ruan Xiaoqi’s sea dog and save some for you?”

Xu Shuwei just wanted to refute, this unreliable cousin didn't say a word of reason, his son is his younger brother, how can he adopt him.When he heard the last sentence, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "It's a deal!"
