Chapter 177: Be in trouble with me

Now Xing County is in ruins.

Qingpingfang is the most prosperous place for business, but Tianqiaofang has now removed many merchants' families, where they bought land and bought houses.

Only the new area opened outside the city occupies the largest area, and it uses the land bought by the Zhang family itself. However, now the Zhang family is occupying the magpie's nest. Originally, the place was desolate, so naturally no one came to compete with Xinxian.

The new district covers a large area and is mainly based on farmland. Zhang Jingyi even plans to connect this place with the Changping land of the Zhang family by road, and in the future it will serve as a workshop and agricultural base in Xinxian.

The reason for this idea was not that Zhang Jingyi had the foresight of the time traveler, but that so many refugees and so many people had to be resettled. If he only relied on the industry of Xinxian County in the past, trouble would sooner or later.

Now Zhang Jingyi is just like a duck who has been kicked on the shelves, so he can only bite the bullet and find a way out for the more and more Guanzhong refugees.

In fact, the disaster relief money and food distributed by the imperial court has always been a drop in the bucket.

With so many young and strong powers, there is no way to keep them.

Except for a group of the most powerful people who went to the military academy, the rest were either distributed to the land or let the merchants absorb some.

But this is obviously not enough.

Zhang Jingyi simply gritted his teeth and wanted to build a road from Qingpingfang to the Zhang family in Changping.

The land is ready-made.

After having this idea, the Zhang family began to buy land quietly.

Most of the land in Changping is not worth much money, but to build roads, it costs money, and it is a big price.

After discussing this matter with Zhang Tianlun, Zhang Tianlun couldn't help but complain: "Our Zhang family is rich now and is now a royal relative. Alas, when I talk about this, I remembered..."

"Dad thinks of the third uncle again?" Zhang Jingyi's ears were already filled with calluses about the rumors about the third uncle.

Zhang Tianlun shook his head and said, "What I remembered is Changsheng. Oh, I don't know how this child is in the palace. Are you hungry or cold? Going back to the point, since you mentioned the third uncle, then for the father, I have to say something. Thinking back to the beginning... When your third uncle went to Lingnan to sell fur coats..."

Although Zhang Tianlun always persuaded his son well, he was like this. He couldn't beat Zhang Jingyi up anything. Although Zhang Jingyi was reluctant to do anything, he still had to support him in the end.

Now...a large number of refugees have begun to reclaim land.

Laborers were organized, some built roads and some controlled rivers.

Dredging rivers is also an urgent matter, because once farming, it is necessary to resist drought and prevent disasters. If there is no water conservancy project, then we can only rely on God for our sake!

The county's Daxing water conservancy can be used for irrigation and disaster prevention, which can benefit all but not harm.

The military academy is now in full swing. Zhang Jingyi became the principal, Lu Xiangsheng became the executive vice principal, and he also found a way to select several military talents from the Jinyiwei as the captains of the teaching team. This skeleton was established.

One day, Emperor Tianqi remembered Zhang Jingyi's recruitment of soldiers and suddenly asked Wei Zhongxian: "Parent Wei, didn't Zhang Jingyi ask for recruitment before? Why, has he recruited this army? What's the army? Is it the Zhang family army or something?"

Wei Zhongxian hesitated as if he had eaten a fly: "Actually... I can't say it well."

"What's the meaning?"

"He is not called a military soldier, but a military school in Xinxian County. Your Majesty, this is a school, not a military horse."

Emperor Apocalypse: “…”

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's because of this that all the scholars in the world are scolding Zhang Jingyi. I heard that this person opened a school and insulted the reputation of a saint... and some people said that he was not doing his job properly and had bad intentions."

Wei Zhongxian thought His Majesty would be furious.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Tianqi laughed: "He has today. These days, I have been scolded a lot, saying that I have ordered Shao Ning to be in violation of the laws of my ancestors. I am still thinking that I have lost a companion by my side. Now, I know that he has been scolded all day long, and I feel much more relieved."

As he said that, he put away his smile and said, "This is a soldier, and this is a soldier. What does it have to do with the school? Is this a soldier still counting on a group of scholars? Zhang Jingyi did a bad thing with kind intentions. I see... his business will eventually become a four-way person, which will definitely not be possible."

Emperor Tianqi did not understand other things, but when it comes to military affairs, he is an expert.

Wei Zhongxian said: "He always thinks about fighting the Jiannu people."

Emperor Tianqi shook his head: "If I could fight, would I be stingy with money and food? There are so many military and horses on the nine sides, how much money and food have been wasted. In order to build defense, he has spent more money and money. He... this time he is too proud. So, no matter how much he is, let him go."

…………

The new district has a lot to do, especially the dredging of the river. Zhang Jing even had a whimful idea and wanted to build a reservoir.

There are many benefits to building a reservoir. Once it is completed, the original wasteland nearby can be called fertile fields...

Of course... the project volume of the reservoir is very terrible.

Zhang Jingyi was not in a hurry to repair.

After all... he is not a fool... he is a cheaper person after repairing... unless...

Zhang Jingyi found Deng Jian and asked him to find out who owned the land in Miyun.

Deng Jian soon found out that it was Wei Liangqing, the nephew of Wei Zhongxian.

Although Wei Liangqing was Wei Zhongxian's nephew, he was adopted by Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that it is Wei Zhongxian's son. He has to call Wei Zhongxian a father.

It is precisely because of this that although Wei Zhongxian has many sons and grandsons, he is very concerned about this real "son".

This person quickly became prosperous, not only built huge mansions in the capital, but also occupied a lot of land around the capital.

As for the land of Miyun County... it is actually not valuable.

During the Ming Dynasty, there was no Miyun Reservoir. The area around Miyun County was filled with water for hundreds of miles. Usually, the water would recede, but once it was summer, when the river surged, the entire Miyun immediately became a country of marsh.

There are actually many areas where rivers are flooded. Because of the abundant water source in Miyun, this was probably the case before the Miyun Reservoir was built in later generations.

The hundreds of miles here are deserted, and even if there is land, no one is willing to farm!

After all, fools know that if you plant crops in spring, and when summer comes, the water will begin to flood and then destroy all the seedlings. Wouldn't this be useless?

Now these places... are just places for the nobles to hunt.

Zhang Jingyi said to Deng Jian: "Look for an opportunity to visit this Suning Marquis and tell him that I bought his land. I want all the land here in Miyun, one acre of ten cents."

"Tenwen..." Deng Jian couldn't help but open his eyes and said, "Isn't this money and no place to spend it? The land there is big, but... this land is not valuable either. It's all water land, the most valuable thing, and you don't want it to give it to others."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Now that there are more and more refugees, how should I settle them? I think this place is pretty good, mainly because it is cheap. Don't talk too much. A few days ago, my father mentioned your marriage to me and said that you are not young anymore."

Deng Jian immediately cheered up: "I understand, buy land, I'll go now."

Wei Liangqing didn't seem to have expected that Zhang Jingyi would come to deal with him and send Deng Jian away. He immediately became solemn and returned to the back garden with all his thoughts.

There were people waiting in the back garden for a long time. This person was named Xu Dahua, who had always been called Wei Liangqing as brothers.

Xu Dahua is the Minister of Works. The Ministry of Works is the most prosperous job, which is something that only the closest people in the Wei family can master. For example, Xu Dahua, who became the adoptive father in his early years, was also the most trusted by Wei Zhongxian.

In addition, in the Xiong Tingbi case, he slandered Xiong Tingbi, resulting in Xiong Tingbi being killed.

Now when he saw Wei Liangqing coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Marty, why, what are the people from the Zhang family doing?"

Wei Liangqing said: "It's strange to say that Zhang Jingyi... has water in his mind?"

When he heard that it was Zhang Jingyi, who was in the limelight recently, Xu Dahua cheered up and said with a smile: "I wonder why this Zhang Jingyi came to do it?"

"He didn't come, but just asked his righteous brother to come, saying that he wanted to buy the land in our Miyun place, saying that it cost ten cents acre per acre, and he bought as much as he could."

"Miyun?" Xu Dahua was stunned: "Marquis, take it seriously?"

Wei Liangqing has a bad temperament and sometimes he has no good expression on Xu Dahua, so he said angrily: "Of course, what's the point of taking it seriously or not?"

Xu Dahua smiled, but he didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he pondered for a moment: "If so, then it would be interesting."

“What’s interesting?”

Xu Dahua said: "Didn't the marquis see it? The land in Miyun has no output, which is worthless. However, the Zhang family is willing to buy it for ten cents per acre, and it is still buying it on a large scale. The land in Wei family has been rotten in his hands. What is he buying it for? According to my opinion... Zhang Jingyi was afraid of the power of his godfather and wanted to curry favor with him, but... he couldn't find any name. Then he found out that the marquis had such a large piece of land here, so he simply wanted to please the behave in the name of buying land. Zhang Jingyi... was very tactful..."

After hearing his explanation, Wei Liangqing felt something was right. Otherwise, who would have bought the ghost place in Miyun?

However, he was still a little suspicious: "I think Zhang Jingyi is not a good person... and even his father is afraid of him. Will he show such diligence?"

Xu Dahua smiled and said, "In the officialdom, his face is thinner than paper. If Zhang Jingyi understands the truth, he will know that if he wants to gain a foothold, he still has to rely on his godfather. The marquis rests with peace of mind. Even if he sells this place to him, I will use the head as a guarantee. That's what happened."

Seeing Xu Dahua's Zhizhu in his hand, Wei Liangqing knew that Xu Dahua had always been good at giving ideas, so he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to Brother Xu."
