The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 266
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Rui, the housekeeper who never interfered in the selection of soldiers, deliberately asked Huang Sheng to take in an extra musketeer when the master stayed in her room.

Since the child was underage and had just turned 13, and his family background was not clean, he failed the selection despite his excellent results in the cultural examination.

Huang Sheng respected this beautiful woman who worked hard without complaint and did not fight with others. She must have a reason to go through the back door, and asked quickly: "Zhao Rui, it's rare for you to recommend a child to join the army, but you met relatives?"

"Where are there any relatives in the slave family? It is Mrs. Li who begged the slave family to help say a word, begging the adults to accept her son."

"Li Shi? Which Li Shi? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"My lord, you are going to do big things, so naturally you don't know the arrangement of the family. This Mrs. Li is the Han people you took back from the Mongols in Harqin! Her son is still thinking about attacking you."

"Oh! I remembered, it was the kid who was almost cut off by Qing Getai! No, this kid is a thief as his father, so he can't be recruited into the Huang family's soldiers. Let him work in the future!"

"Master, you haven't seen this child for more than a month. He was a little wild when he came to Huang's house just now, but this child has changed since he went to watch a "Blood and Fire Liaodong" drama with the slave's family and his mother."

"Interesting, tell me about it."

"That day, her mother's eyes were swollen from crying. She hugged the child and told him that she was just like Yunniang, but she was not as upright as Yunniang. In fact, she should have died on the day when she was rescued by the Ming army. .”

"This can't be done. The effect the master wants is revenge. What he wants is to let everyone know their shame and then be brave, not to let everyone know that they are ashamed to commit suicide!"

"The slave family also persuaded Mrs. Li in the same way! Mrs. Li told her son that the reason why she did not choose to die was because she was worried that the son would think she was a Mongolian Tartar. She wanted to wait for the day when her son would return to being an upright Han Chinese."

"The kid must be educated, right?"

"Well, he likes watching theater the most, especially the scene where the Ming army scared Jiannu Niu Luerzhen to commit suicide. When he saw that the Huang family was recruiting musketeers, he secretly went to sign up. Unfortunately, there was no military officer in charge of recruiting troops. Dare to have him."

"Naturally, there are many military officers who know him, who dares to take this kid if he dares to beat me!"

Zhao Rui smiled and said: "He used to be ignorant, but now he doesn't. Her mother is also from a well-educated family, and now she is very serious about helping the slave family. Their mother and son have come to the slave family."

"You have to be careful, if this kid doesn't serve him sincerely, but has the intention of avenging his Tartar father, he has a musket, and one day he can kill your master with a single shot from Leng Zi." Killed."

Zhao Rui's pretty face turned pale with fright, she thought for a while and said firmly: "No, he's still a child, he won't lie, he can't pretend to show his hatred for Jiannu when watching the play."

"You are so willing to take care of that child, you seem to like this child very much!"

"I remembered how my younger brother was when he was beaten by Jiannu. I really want this child to be successful. This child is very smart and can learn everything quickly. Her mother has always taught her to read and write. His cultural scores in the exam ranked fourth. Woolen cloth."

"Li Shi only has this one son, is she willing?"

"It's worth it, this child is determined to be a Marquis immediately! The mother of course hopes that her son will have a future. Besides, playing a slave is to avenge the child's father."

"Since you like this child, stay."

"Sir, don't you want to see for yourself?"

"No need, the master believes in you. Come on, don't envy others for having a son, the master will help you give birth to one too."

"Master, how many children do I have to have in my family, you have to be careful!"

In the morning, the beauty who loves to moisten attentively waits for the master to wash up. In fact, she has a few maidservants who don't need to do it herself, but Huang Sheng's women seem to have a tacit understanding. As long as they stay in any room, the concubine will do it herself.

Huang Sheng suddenly remembered a very important matter and said to Zhao Rui: "Zhao Rui, you tell Mrs. Li that it is fine to accept his son, but one condition must be met."

"Master, you said, their mother and son are very caring, and they can accept any conditions."

The beauty knew her man too well, knew that he would never force others to do anything difficult, so she agreed.

"Ms. Li is not allowed to commit suicide. If she dies, the Huang family will immediately expel his son from the army. Even if his son has become Baizong, Qianzong will not keep him."

Zhao Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she threw herself into the master's arms like a bird in a forest, her tender cheeks rubbed against the face of her sweetheart, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Master, I sincerely thank you for saving my life. I let my brother see that my younger brother is becoming more and more like a man of indomitable spirit. I can also help my master do a lot of good deeds. I must have practiced in my previous life to meet him. Master's blessing."

It turned out that Huang Sheng put his heart and soul into saving Mrs. Li, which brought back the dusty past of the beauty. She couldn't help herself for a while, and hugged her beloved master...

Huang Sheng has never shown that he disliked Zhao Rui's past, and everyone in the Huang family also respected her. The beauty lives happily and works happily. In the dead of night, when people occasionally think of the moment when she wanted to die, she still has lingering fears.

"Rui'er, can you live happily every day?"

"Well, master, my family will serve you for the rest of my life, and my family will only live for you." Zhao Rui's firm confession made Huang Sheng feel extremely distressed, and he hugged the beauty for a long time before leaving.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Huang Mingdao took the fleet to send Lu Chengzu, a thousand households prepared by Fushan, and three hundreds of household officials under his command, to Jiaoaokou, Shandong to grab the territory.

Five hundred households of the Huang family who were politically aware and reliable were selected to guard there. Huang Mingdao led the navy to settle everyone down and then returned. There were no regular soldiers left there.

Because these 500 households can provide more than [-] brave men, all of whom practice regularly, have cold weapons and Ming army armor, [-] Lumi guns, and [-] flintlock guns.

Most of the [-] selected households were born as peasants, and they only served the fields.They are not craftsmen, and they all do manual work in factories, which is not much better than cattle.

The Huang family proposed that each household should be given [-] mu of farmland, and each household could keep [-]% of the output for their own use, and the land ownership would also belong to the household.

With such good conditions and going to Shandong, these Liao people are willing to go and start packing at the end of the year.

Wu Xiang has managed all aspects of the relationship, and has sent his confidants to wait at the Fushan Station. Lord Denglai has transferred all the officers here, and they can't take away the farmland they have embezzled, so they can only give up.

Huang Sheng called Lu Chengzu and the three hundreds of household officials under his command to give them face-to-face instructions, and asked them to select the soldiers from the original Fushan Institute, and let them farm the land if they had no combat effectiveness at all, and the treatment was the same as that of Huang Jiatun households.

Those with combat effectiveness were selected for retraining, and after meeting the requirements of strict military discipline, they stayed as the guard army, and paid the guard army a full monthly salary of one or two taels of silver per month.

Huang Sheng sent his secretary, Bian Zhiming, and his own soldiers to help clean up the farmland. If the Huang family sent out [-] acres for each household, he would use the method of reclaiming wasteland and buying surrounding farmland.

Let Liu Guozheng pay attention to using some means. If there are thugs who dare to bully their lives, don't kill them. Instead, tie up their whole family and send them to Juehua Island to serve as civilian husbands. This is a reasonable and legal thing. potency.

Huang Sheng sent Bian Zhiming and Liu Guozheng to unite with the local people by holding a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

He knew that to do a good job at the grassroots level, it is impossible to rely entirely on compromise, and that a Bodhisattva's heart must have thunderous means to implement it.

The Huang family does things based on the good deeds of stationing in one place to benefit one side, and it is also possible to make some unscrupulous people disappear when necessary.
