Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 149

It took several months for Yang Menglong to exert all his strength to feed the baby, and he only produced about 1000 catties of phosphate fertilizer. Calculated according to the standard of applying [-] catties per mu of field, it is only enough for [-] or [-] mu of fields. It can be seen that these phosphate fertilizers are precious.Seeing someone using it indiscriminately, he naturally wanted to roar.After yelling, he explained the function of phosphate fertilizer to Cheng Ji: "Let me tell you, this fertilizer is much stronger than manure. If you sprinkle a little, the crops will go up! With it, the grains of wheat will be fuller, the leaves of vegetables will be more plump, and the increase in production is a matter of course!"

Cheng Ji was dubious: "Since phosphate fertilizer has such a magical effect, why doesn't the general make more?"

Yang Menglong said with a bitter face: "You think I don't want to? There is no sulfuric acid! Without sulfuric acid, it is impossible to do more! So, you can only apply phosphorus fertilizer to this field, and the other fields can only use phosphorus powder. Phosphorus powder is also effective, but the effect is slower... Brother, you hurry up and get me out of the sulfuric acid factory, without sulfuric acid, our plan will be out of the question!"

Cheng Ji cupped his hands and said, "Next time we go back, we will arrange for manpower to build a workshop for the production of sulfuric acid."

Yang Menglong smiled brightly: "Cheerful! I just like your straightforwardness!" If Cheng Ji hadn't been injured, he would have slapped him into the ground.

Sure enough, Cheng Ji kept his word, and three days later, more than 100 cattle and more than 200 poor horses arrived on time.Yang Menglong brought people out to greet him, looking at this side and that side, he was overjoyed.These cattle and horses are very strong, much stronger than the ones Yang Menglong bought himself.Yang Menglong was overjoyed: "The scale of my cattle farm and horse farm has expanded again!" With a wave of his hand, a large group of people swarmed up and drove these precious livestock to the stables of the cowshed to serve them carefully.These are the lifelines of a farmer, and it's impossible to take care of them carelessly.

Yang Menglong rubbed his hands and said, "This time I can go to Biyang to reclaim wasteland without worry!"

Cheng Ji smiled and said, "My lord, in half a month, there are still 250 cattle and [-] poor horses that will be delivered!"

Yang Menglong was taken aback: "There is more! Your old man will not search the livestock in the Huguang area, right?"

Cheng Ji smiled and said nothing, as if it was an easy task for him to get hundreds of cows and horses.Well, it's really not difficult to get rough horses in Henan, but it's a bit choking to get farm cattle, and you need to have a certain amount of supernatural powers.

The addition of so many cattle made the military households even more powerful, and the scene became more and more heated.It took less than half a month to sow [-] mu of potatoes, and the efficiency is really jaw-dropping.But after planting potatoes, military households and refugees don't have to worry about not having work to do, and they still have to open up wasteland!With Yang Menglong's order, thousands of bandits and refugees were assigned to Biyang. The barren fields covered with weeds suddenly burst into thick smoke. He plowed all the way, and those with hoes followed behind to break up the soil and level the land. First, it would be dried for a few months, and then winter wheat would be planted.These lands have been deserted for so many years. As long as irrigation can keep up, next year's wheat harvest will surely be good.And the craftsman camp in Wuyangwei is also busy. Those who dig wells, those who cut moso bamboo, those who cut moso bamboo, those who lay bamboo canals, and those who build waterwheels, are very busy.Everyone found that bamboo canals are easier to use than water canals. Firstly, they don’t leak, and secondly, the water flows very fast. Therefore, they prefer to use bamboo canals. The purpose of dredging the canals is to make the canals even and convenient for laying bamboo canals. To irrigate the wheat fields, we still use bamboo canals.

The gentry in Biyang County also began to experience Yang Menglong's resoluteness.This scene of thousands of people working together made them panic, who were used to the small-scale peasant economy. A large amount of wasteland was reclaimed, which made them greedy. Some people started to take out their land deeds and went to the county government to sue Wuyang. Wei invaded their land.These guys are really troublesome!
Jinshen is still a small trouble, but the real big trouble has rushed towards Yang Menglong.

One day, Yang Menglong was looking at his potatoes in the field, when Jiang Zheng rushed over and called, "My lord, it's not good!"

Yang Menglong's boss was upset: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zheng said: "Come... someone is here, someone is coming from the other side of the government office! Just wait at the Qianhu Mansion!"

Yang Menglong was puzzled: "When someone comes, you just say hello. Why come here in such a hurry to find me? Really!"

When he rode back to the Thousand Household House, he realized why Jiang Zheng said he was in serious trouble: the person who came was not a small character, but a third-rank official!It seems that this person should be the inspector of Henan Province!By the way, it is of course impossible for Mr. Inspector to come here alone. He brought a lot of younger brothers, for example, the Commander of Nanyang Guard who offended him a lot, Mr. Liu Jintang!In addition, there are a bunch of beasts in costumes, he can't even name them, anyway, they are all higher in official positions than him, and Master Fang Yizhi is also among them, with an angry look on his face, and he doesn't know where he took the wrong medicine.He was slightly taken aback, what kind of trouble is this?
Still muttering in his heart, the white and fat inspector who was squinting and drinking tea slightly opened his eyes and looked at him through the slits. He saw that Yang Menglong was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with mud all over his trousers, stretching his legs. At the end, he asked: "Who is here?" That's a strange yin and yang!

Liu Jintang cupped his hands and said, "Lord Bing, this is the Qianhu of the Wuyang Qianhu Office, Yang Menglong, Lord Yang!"

The inspector narrowed his eyes again: "So this is Yang Qianhu? I thought it was a mud leg that ran out somewhere! Yang Qianhu, what did you do just now?"

Yang Menglong said: "Farming, what else can I do?"

Several people laughed out loud, and the inspector snorted: "What a mud-legged man!" Suddenly he shouted sharply: "Bold Yang Menglong, you still don't kneel down when you see the Shangguan!?"

Well, I'll treat it like a kneeling dead man!

Yang Menglong gritted his teeth secretly, knelt down on his knees, and said, "See you, my lords!"

He ignored the inspection, picked up the tea cup and began to drink tea while shaking his head.

Yang Menglong didn't care so much, he stood up directly after paying his respects.

Now the inspector was really angry, he put the teacup heavily on the table with a bang, and shouted: "Who told you to stand up!"

Yang Menglong said: "My lord, I have to stand up naturally after kneeling. My bones are relatively hard, and my knees hurt after kneeling for a long time. I can't bear it."

A trace of greenness flashed across the face of the inspector, and he sneered: "What a hard bone! This officer wants to see how hard your bones are! Kneel down!"

Yang Menglong was also angry: "Are you finished? I'm not a kowtow, kneeling you once is enough to give you face, come back? Believe it or not, I will turn against you!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was shocked. According to the inspector, he stared at Yang Menglong speechlessly, a guy who always had a gloomy face—seeing the official uniform, he should be Jin Yiwei Zhenfu, and said sadly : "Master Yang, you are so majestic, how dare you talk to the inspector like this? Do you think that the emperor is far away, and the laws of Ming Dynasty can't control you, a grass-headed king? Come, let this arrogant Take it down for me!"

"Yes!!!"

With a loud shout, several guards in Jinyi came out more and more, Xiuchun knife was unsheathed, pointed at Yang Menglong, and shouted in unison: "Kneel down!"

Yang Menglong snorted: "Just rely on your few pieces of material?" His gaze passed directly over Jin Yiwei, and landed on the inspector, and said coldly: "I said, Mr. inspector, did I offend you? Everyone does not offend the river. Why are you making things difficult for me?"

Now even Fang Yizhi couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Yang Qianhu, did you say that? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Chen!"

Yang Menglong said proudly: "Apologize! They are looking for trouble deliberately, let me tell you, if you don't explain the matter clearly to me today, I will never end with you!"

The inspector was so angry that his hands trembled.In the Ming Dynasty, the provincial local officials of the Ming Dynasty were divided into three divisions, namely, the chief envoy, the procuratorial envoy, and the commanding envoy. Provincial Military Affairs".The three divisions are equivalent to the current senior officials, the president of the provincial court, and the commander of the provincial military region. The future of officials, large and small, in Henan is in his hands. If he is not respectful, serve him carefully, lest he be dissatisfied in the slightest?Today, he encountered such a thorny head, and he didn't have the slightest respect for his immediate boss. He repeatedly contradicted him, and his lungs really exploded!He laughed back in anger: "What an arrogant person! I won't clean you up today, I'll write this old word upside down! Take it down!"

Those Jin Yiwei took another step forward and shouted again: "Kneel down!"

Jiang Zhengqiang drew out the horizontal saber, stood in front of Yang Menglong, and said in a cold voice, "Don't point the saber at our lord, otherwise we will live and die!"

Jin Yiwei was dumbfounded again.They are guards in brocade clothes, the emperor's pro-army, although they don't have the prestige of the early Ming Dynasty when the brocade clothes come out, and all the officials tremble, but the signboard of the emperor's pro-army is still there, so everyone has to give them some face?Unexpectedly, in such a small place as Wuyang, a thousand households and a single family member would not pay attention to them, how decent is this?They were so angry that they wanted to swarm up and chop the two thorns that ruined their reputation into meat paste, but the sharp-edged horizontal knife made them flinch... This is a sharp weapon for fighting in the battlefield. Compared with it , the Xiuchun knife in their hands is just a thing to scare girls, it's useless!Not to mention these small characters, once the horizontal knife was released, even the group of beasts in clothes were suffocated and broke out in cold sweat.What was even more frustrating was that a desolate trumpet sounded suddenly outside, and someone shouted: "Come on! Someone is going to kill your lord!" Immediately afterwards, the sound of clappers resounded throughout the guardhouse, with loud voices and footsteps. Noisy, noisy.A Jin Yiwei rushed in, scrambling and shouting: "My... my lord, it's not good, those poor soldiers rebelled! They are coming here with sharp weapons!"

Nani! ?
The inspector Huo Di jumped up, and ran towards the gate with his ass on fire, a group of beasts in clothes hurriedly followed, and Yang Menglong naturally followed.Fang Yizhi caught up and said in a low voice, "You are too reckless! How can you let your subordinates show their knives to Shangguan!?"

Yang Menglong was furious: "It's okay? I'm still in the dark, what's going on?"

Fang Yizhi said: "What else could be going on! After the Battle of Shahe, the villain surnamed Liu first filed a complaint, bribed the chief secretary, and charged you with the crime of negligence in vigilance, which caused grass bandits to loot the village. You are in big trouble! "

Yang Menglong was furious: "Damn it! I haven't settled with him yet, but the villain sued him first, right?"

Fang Yizhi said: "Fortunately, this official has already reported the ins and outs of the matter to the sage. The sage is wise and will definitely not let you be wronged. The imperial envoy may already be on the way. You should first suppress your hot temper. They played around and bought time, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save you!"

Yang Menglong snorted: "You don't need gods, they can't do anything to me!"

In just a few words, everyone has already walked out of the thousand-household house, came to the door, and looked around, my mother!A large area of ​​black crows, full of people!The young military households of Wuyang Qianhu Station, the bandits who helped in the Qianhu Station, the recruited craftsmen, and the refugees all swarmed towards this side. The military households and bandits looked furious, and they all pulled out their swords. Roaring loudly: "Who wants to arrest us adults? Why arrest us adults!?"

"Whoever dares to arrest our lord, first ask us if the knife in our hand will agree!"

"Never agree! Never agree!"

There are more and more people, and naturally there are more and more knives held up high. Those knives are dog-leg shaped, about a foot and a half long including the handle. It may be that the wheat has just been harvested and there is no time to wash them. More or less covered with a little dirt, it was very old-fashioned, and now it is even more rustic, but when hundreds of such knives are held up high, I am afraid that no one will care whether the knife is soiled or not... ...Damn it, this is the rhythm of chopping them into meat!Inspector Chen and the guard in Jinyi were horrified, and Liu Jintang also turned pale and terrified, but now he had no choice but to attack. He had no way out, so he could only stick to the headlines and whisper in the ear of Inspector Chen: " My lord, the officer has long said that this kid is born rebellious and good at deceiving people. You still don’t believe it, but do you believe it now? He has only been in office for a few months, and he has turned the originally innocent military household into a group of ruthless kings. The thugs of the law!"
