That night, Yan Shifan rested in Shao Jiajia's house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What did Shu Qinglan say?"

Yan Shifan was crooked on the couch, letting Shao Jiajia's pair of white and tender hands roamed back and forth on him, pressing and teasing.

mentioned Shu Qinglan, Shao Jiajia didn't fight in one place, "I didn't say anything, everyone is a quasi-princess, how can I care about those ~ masters and fellow disciples who are not in the court!" ”

"Not in the court", which means not going to the early court, generally refers to an official who is idle or too low-ranked.

Yan Shifan glanced at her, Xu Chunrong was also "not in the court", but he didn't bother to remind Shao Jiajia, "I want to listen to (Shu Qinglan's) original words." ”

Shao Jiajia's heart tightened, and the conversation with Shu Qinglan quickly went through in his mind, damn it! She didn't miss anything.

"She said people made up ......"

Yan Shifan was indifferent to Shao Jiajia's flattering eyes, and impatiently brushed away the restless hands under him, "Didn't your mother teach you how to reply!?" ”

Shao Jiajia's eyes were red, and he recounted in detail the process of being in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion today.

Yan Shifan gently tapped his thigh as he listened, "What was Shu Qinglan's expression when she said this?" ”

Shao Jiajia choked, Shu Qinglan never changed her expression from beginning to end! No, maybe it was changed, but ...

"What, I can't remember or I didn't pay attention?" Yan Shifan's patience is running out, stupid woman!

"Shu Qinglan... I always greet the concubine with a smile..."

Yan Shifan's asymmetrical eyes instantly widened, and Shao Jiajia was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head.

"You mean to say that Shu Qinglan doesn't believe your words?"

Shao Jiajia lowered his eyes, nodded, and shook his head again.

You should be suspicious, right?

"Bang!"

In the next second, Shao Jiajia was kicked three meters away by Yan Shifan.

"I can't even understand a word!" What a waste snack! I haven't even learned half of Xu Chunrong's skills!

Shao Jiajia's tears came out, not only because of the pain in her body, but also because of her deep grievances. From childhood to adulthood, even in the years of the Shao family, no one has beaten him.

But now, Shao Jiajia regrets it, he shouldn't have been impulsive... Compared with not being able to marry or marrying low, coming to the Yan family is to completely ruin yourself!

"You know how to cry." Yan Shifan was more and more upset by Shao Jiajia's crying, if it weren't for her that she would still be of some use...

Shao Jiajia cried more fiercely when she heard this, and the more she cried, the more sad she became. It's a good year, even if it's good to be with your mother in the future, why do you want to come here...

"Bang!"

A thick round stool flew towards the dresser, boom and boom...

"What, serving the master makes you feel very wronged?" Yan Shifan's eyes showed a fierce light, and a plaything dared to show his grandfather's face?!

Shao Jiajia was dumbfounded, she didn't dare to cry anymore, she just covered her face and sobbed quietly.

Yan Shifan grabbed her neck and tightened it hard... Try harder...

"Cough..."'s face turned from red to white and then blue, and gradually, Shao Jiajia's eyes began to turn black, so unwilling, I haven't seen Guo Xiaoqing being dismissed and his house raided...... It's just that I'm fed up with days like this, what's the difference between dying early and dying late. It's a relief to be dead...

"Want to die?" Yan Shifan's face was hideous, like a demon from hell, "In my place, even death is a gift," he slowly let go of Shao Jiajia's slender neck, but pinched Shao Jiajia's jaw, "You have to ask, ask well, the master may reward you with a good pleasure." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." Shao Jiajia covered her neck in horror, and even her tears were scared back.

"If you want to survive, you have to learn to be smart," Yan Shifan rudely ripped off his belt and pulled down his pants, "Otherwise... When the time comes, don't blame the master for not having a compassionate heart. ”

Shao Jiajia crawled in front of Yan Shifan on his knees, tremblingly picked up the man's lower body, and opened his mouth resignedly.

The turmeric liquid was accompanied by a strong stench, which choked Shao Jiajia and had to swallow it.

When Yan Shifan finished urinating, his irritable mood eased slightly.

A bunch of junk snacks!

******

After freshening up, Yuan Jin leaned on the pillow and applied a mask - this was made up by Mama Guan under the "guidance" of Qinglan.

Lin Yinfei came out of the bathroom and couldn't help frowning slightly, "It's still early before the Midyear Festival, don't scare the child." ”

Yuan Jin couldn't cry and laugh when she heard this, "This is not a faceless mask prepared for the Midyear Festival, you touch it, it's wet." ”

Lin Yinfei sat beside her and pressed a small raised bag on the mask to fit, "What's the use of this thing?" ”

"Beauty and beauty." When Yuan Jin speaks, try not to pull the nerves on her face, so as not to cause unnecessary fine lines.

Lin Yinfei didn't ask any more, lay down and got ready to sleep.

"Hey, don't sleep yet," Yuan Jin turned her husband on her elbow, "I have something to ask you." ”

Lin Yinfei put his hands under the back of his head and closed his eyes to recuperate, "Said." ”

"Guo Xiaoqing, Qingqing's fellow disciple, you know, right?" Yuan Jin held a small mirror in her hand, and from time to time she picked it up to look at her face.

"Hmm."

"Then have you heard that he sold officials and accepted bribes in the Northeast?"

"Huh?" Lin Yinfei opened his eyes suddenly, "Who told you that?" ”

"Who else, 'Master Shu'~"

"And where did she find out?"

"Yan Shifan's second room said."

"Oh." Lin Yinfei closed his eyes again, "The emperor knows about this." ”

Yes? Put it this way, "Is this true?" ”

"Half-truths."

Yuan Jin was interested, "Tell me about it." ”

There are five or six counties under Kaiyuan Prefecture, which were only set up at the beginning of this year. When Guo Xiaoqing arrived in Kaiyuan Mansion, there was not a single official under him -- no one wanted to go to the northeast.

Think about it, half of the year is winter, out of the city gate is a large area of fields, plus privet and other ethnic minorities gather, the northwest grassland tribes are still ready to move, "not peaceful".

So Guo Xiaoqing came up with an idea: "Sell officials".

As long as there is a talent and fame and above, the prisoners can also "buy" officials, such as 50,000 taels of county orders and 20,000 yuan of county officials......

"Huh? Is he really selling? Yuan Jin crossed her legs and listened seriously, not even noticing that the mask was up.

Lin Yinfei also sat up casually, poked the "white paper" on his wife's face with his fingers, and pressed it again.

"Of course it's not really sold, these silver taels are used for ......"

All of this was used as a reward and punishment mechanism for officials.

Even if the Northeast is poor, there are not a few people who want to be officials, not to mention that the threshold is still so low, it is not a good thing to stay up for a few years and then go out~

What to do if "the wolf has more meat and less meat"?

Simple, that's better than that!

Of course, it's not more than who can take the money, Guo Xiaoqing treats everyone equally, personally comes up with the questions, and lets these people take the exam.

"What's the test?" Yuan Jin could listen energetically, so she simply took off the mask and threw it aside.

"Everything."

There is really everything, water conservancy farmland, government decrees, tax accounts...

In short, some of the people in the yamen have passed the examination, and finally they have been screened layer by layer, their respective positions have been determined, and official seals have been issued on the spot.

"What about the silver?"

If you don't become an official, you naturally have to pay it back to others, and if you become an official, the money is still yours, but-

Half of them were donated to the common people for free, repairing bridges and paving roads, and subsidizing agricultural work, while the other half was used as a reward for personal officials.

For example, if you are an official, diligent and have outstanding political achievements, you will be rewarded.

Otherwise, it will be punished, and the punishment will be severe, and the people will supervise, once the discipline is illegal, corrupt and bribed... Once verified, it is not just a fine of money.

"This method is good," Yuan Jin clasped his hands and praised, "The emperor agreed?" ”

Guo Xiaoqing went to the secret fold, as for the emperor's attitude, it is unknown.

But for now, the Yan father and son don't know about it.

The emperor did not wait to see the Yan family, Yan Song was "idle" all of a sudden, and Yan Shifan invited three excerpts to build water conservancy, but they were all detained by the emperor.

"Ha," Yuan Jin's expression was a little proud, she had already seen that Yan Shifan was not pleasing to her eyes, and she dared to go to the beautiful time to make trouble?! If it weren't for the difference between civil and military, she would have asked her family to clean up the Yan family!

Hey, isn't Qinglan a civil official, although the emperor let her learn the rules at home, but she was not exempted from her official rank.

A "vicious" idea quietly crept into Zhu Yuanjin's heart...

******

"General!" The men on the grassland are not only physically strong, but also have a loud voice.

Eturing lifted the tent, and the harsh sunlight outside made him unable to open his eyes.

When he saw the person clearly, Eturing smashed his fist on the man's strong chest, "Good boy, why did you come back!" ”

"Hey, hey..."The Mongolian envoy to Dashun smiled innocently, revealing a mouthful of neat yellow teeth.

"This is Dashun's artillery?" In fact, Eturing asked this on purpose, since he returned to the grassland, this cannon has become his "heart disease", thinking about it day and night, and wishing that he could get it back immediately.

"Yes!" The envoy beamed with joy as he uncovered the tarpaulin over the cannon.

The Mongolian men who were watching let out a burst of cheers, they couldn't imagine that this Zhao Ji was so valuable!

Eturing was very satisfied, but at the same time a little regretful, it would have been nice to have a few more Zhao halberds at the beginning, but now there is more than this "cannon" deal.

"Hey, General..."

The onlookers couldn't wait to know the power of this cannon.

Eturing also wanted to know, and looked at Huang Ya expectantly, don't tell me, Emperor Dashun only gave the cannon, and I won't return the Zhao halberd.

"General," Huang Fang beckoned Etuling aside and whispered, "The people of Dashun are at the Great Khan at this time, and their emperor said that they will not give cannonballs until they see Zhao Ji." ”

"Where's Zhao Ji?" Eturing returned to the crowd.

"Where's the horse pen!" A tall man shouted.

Zhao Ji is particularly obsessed with horses, especially Mongolian horses, with large skeletons, tight flesh and fast and steady running.

Since becoming a prisoner of the Mongols, Zhao Ji has never left the horse pen for a day, and he wants to have more sets of Mongolian skills in matching horses and raising horses, and then try it when he returns to the army.

"Bring him here!"

"Yes!" Three or five young men with big shoulders and round waists went out together, there was no way, Zhao Ji's martial arts were not bad, and few people couldn't cure him.

Eturing's tent was still some distance from the Great Khan's camp, and he ordered his men to bring the cannons over first.

Far away, Eturing smelled a smell of horse manure, and when Zhao Ji got closer, it was even more terrible, did this person just get fished up from the dung pit!?

"Wash." Eturing covered his nose and waved.

Several Mongolian men held Zhao Ji and poured cold water on him.

Zhao Ji suddenly shuddered, the grassland in early May, the wind was still very hard.

"Haha..."

Seeing Zhao Ji throwing the water in embarrassment, the Mongolian men were happy, and the horses were also thrown like this.

Zhao Ji glanced at Turing deeply, in my lifetime, I, Zhao Ji, must be ashamed of today!

"Let's go~!"

Eturing took the lead, but Zhao Ji was not treated so well, he was locked with heavy iron chains on his feet, and it was difficult to even run.

Originally, those Mongolians still wanted to drag Zhao Ji on their horses as before, but Huang Ya persuaded them a few words, and those people reluctantly tied up the sheep cart and let Zhao Ji sit on it.

Zhao Ji sat silently on the sheep cart, looking at the cannon rack not far in front of him, and all kinds of emotions came to his heart for a while.

"Great Khan." After Tuling finished his salute, he saw several men who looked like Han people sitting in the tent, with meat and wine in front of them.

"General Eh." Xiaobao recognized Eturing at a glance, and he almost died at the hands of Shanhaiguan in the battle.

"Lord Ding." Eturing didn't know Xiaobao, and this surname was still what Yellow Fang told him before he entered the account.

The two sides politely exchanged a few words, and Xiaobao asked to see Zhao Ji.

Eturing glanced at King Khan, and when he saw that the other party agreed, he asked someone to bring Zhao Ji in.

"General Zhao!" I haven't seen him for more than ten years, Xiaobao almost didn't recognize him, his hair was dripping with water, his face was dark and haggard, his beard was scruffy and muddy, and there was a familiar smell all over his body.

Zhao Ji adapted to the dim light in the tent for a while, and began to carefully examine the person in front of him, "You! You are... Young Master Ding? ”

Xiaobao doesn't have a beard, and it looks like he still has the shadow of his childhood, especially a pair of pear vortices, which is especially obvious when he laughs.

"General Zhao, it's me." Xiaobao's voice choked.

Zhao Ji was quite emotional, Weixian had been separated for more than ten years, and he didn't want to meet again, but he was like this.

According to the agreement, the Mongols "escorted" Xiaobao and Zhao Ji all the way into the customs, and took the shells by the way.

Xiaobao hated Turing for "mistreating" Zhao Ji so much, and secretly cut the shells for the Mongols by half, anyway, the Mongols didn't know how much the emperor originally planned to give them.

After the Han people left, only Turing and Yellow Fang were left in the tent.

"Have you seen the Yan family's father and son?"

At the beginning, King Xian and Zhu Qi both said that the Yan family was their own people, but now that the two are on the guillotine, the Yan family is safe and sound, and the Mongolians want to find a safe "backer" again.

Huang Fang shook his head, "No, the Yan family and the two men are hiding from us." ”

The Great Khan and Eturing exchanged glances, and it seemed that the Yan family was not a reliable ally.

"But," Yellow Fang opened his mouth again, "this time we met an adult in Beijing, and he was very enthusiastic about us. "Please also invite us to eat and drink spicy food, shopping...

Eturing couldn't think of any other "old friends" in Beijing, "who?" ”

"The man's name is... It's called Zhang Juzheng! ”
