Fu Yanyan stood silently on the stone steps for a moment, carefully examined the tenants one by one, and finally asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

The tenant who had the head moved his knees to the ground, took half a step forward, leaned over the ground and bowed upright, and frowned as if he was a little displeased, "If there is anything you want to say, why do you need to make this great gift." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I'll ask the captain for mercy and reward him with a way to live." The old tenant straightened up and raised his head, his face full of old tears.

"We were all poor and helpless people, and Meng Suo Gong did not give up, and allowed us to cultivate those fields under Dasha Mountain. It stands to reason that we should offer five tenths of the grain every year for Suo Gong, but Suo Gong said that the land was not his family's ancestral property, because he couldn't bear to see us starve to death, so he allowed us to cultivate privately. ”

The crowd buzzed again, nothing more than praise for Suo Shenjin's "good deeds" and "uprightness", Feng Ling pouted at the window of the small building, "Yin Hou'er did a really good job, and that kind of reward is only too little." ”

The tenants were followed by some women and children's families, and many of them bowed their heads and sobbed at the sight of this. Thinking about the days when I think about it in the future, I am afraid that there will be no more prosperous and prosperous days, but those tears are genuine.

"The captain is going to collect the fields now, and we tenants have no more land to plant and no way to make a living, and the situation of a family of old and young women starving to death in the fields, can the captain bear it?" The old tenant said in a timely trembling voice.

Fu Yanyan waved his hand to stop the boiling discussion under the stone steps, and arched his hand to the old tenant, "Ah Weng doesn't have to be like this. Although Dunhuang City is also set up as a military town, but because of the continuous bandits and foreign enemies around, the government soldiers must be trained every day, and they have no time to farm on weekdays. Therefore, the land of the public house still needs to be cultivated by tenants, and eight cents of the rice grain collected will be handed over to the Zhechong Prefecture as military rations, and the remaining two cents will be kept by the tenants themselves. ”

The old tenant did not expect this, and suddenly opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. When he came, according to Yin Hou'er's instructions, he just cried and shouted grievances, and when he was forced to be helpless, Zhang Xianling came forward to make peace, persuading the governor to abandon the public party field and ask the court for public office money instead.

Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, he has no bottom in his heart, so he has to sneak a glimpse of Zhang County's order behind Yan Yan.

Someone behind him gently tugged at the hem of the old tenant's clothes, and said softly: "Suo Gong has always only charged us fifty percent, and if you want to pay eighty percent, it will be too much of a loss......

Another person whispered: "Most of the merchants in Dunhuang City, although there are few fields, and there are not many tenants, if we don't plant, he may not be able to find so many tenants to take over." ”

A word woke up the old tenants, he hurriedly straightened up, pointed to the tenants behind him, and said, "The lieutenant will ask for eighty percent when he opens his mouth, and ask them if they want to." ”

The tenants behind him straightened their necks and said, "If you don't get fifty percent, you won't plant this land again." ”

"That's right! Fifty percent! The tenants responded one after another, "If there is no fifty percent, it is okay not to plant!" ”

He shouted even more boldly and radically: "Please go elsewhere to find military rations!" ”

Han Meng endured it so far, and he couldn't suppress Mars's temper anymore, "Wait for Tian Shelang, dare to use the Zhechong Prefecture as a bazaar to lower prices on the spot, you are really bold enough to break your chest!" ”

There was a lot of noise, women and children cried in front of the government office, the old people complained, the people were angry, and chaos became a mess.

Fu Yanyan closed his eyes heavily, gritted his teeth, raised his voice and said to everyone: "You have given me three days, and I will still be in front of this door after three days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

After that, he turned around and retreated into the vermilion lacquer gate, and when he saw Zhang Boyong following behind him, he stopped, "I also ask Zhang County to order the evacuation of the people and appease the tenants." ”

After taking two steps, he paused to look back at the chaos outside the door, and called Zhang Boyong, who led the order, to go, "Zhang County's order remembers, don't use swords and arrows against each other." ”

Outside the door, everyone saw that the captain had not said a word and left, and the sound was suddenly higher, and two teams of government soldiers ran out of the vermilion lacquer gate, erecting a horse to isolate the crowd. Zhang Boyong stood on the steps, pausing and waving, so busy.

"What a momentum!" Feng Ling watched for a long time and sighed: "A group of tenants who claim to be helpless dare to blackmail the five-rank officials of the imperial court like this, obviously not taking the governor and the entire Zhichong Mansion in their eyes. If you don't have a strong backer, who would? ”

"Is Soxhth really so interested? There is no official and a half-job, but he is just a squire who can talk to the official family, how can he be so unscrupulous? Buddha Nu shook his head, "These tenants are not honest and duty-oriented, they have been much richer than the villagers next to them after getting the benefits of Suo's on weekdays, and now they are not in a hurry when they see the fat and water flowing out." If you want me to say, if you don't plant, you won't plant, and there are people in my community who are looking forward to being tenants. ”

Feng Ling's apricot eyes widened, staring closely at the figure that Fu Yanyan disappeared behind the vermilion lacquer gate, and said quietly: "Whether it is a tenant or a Suo clan, I am afraid that there is a more solid support behind him, and he is in a high position, and he does not regard the Commander of Zhichong Mansion as a matter at all." ”

"Buddha, have you found out where the Yandu Lieutenant came from?" The vermilion door closed, and she turned her gaze back.

Buddha Nu nodded hurriedly, "Auntie didn't say that I almost forgot, I listened to it a few days ago." This lieutenant is indeed from a humble background, his father was a servant of the Duke of Cai in the Kai Dynasty, I don't know the surname, my mother or the lady in charge of the mansion, like us, is a Tang person, so what the captain of Nayan said in Suofu last time was true, he really had no surname, and his appearance was half like a Hu person and half like a Tang person. Because his father followed the birth and death of the first Cai Guogong several times, he didn't know what kind of great achievements he had made and was able to get rid of his slavery. ”

Zhenguan four years, when he was only fifteen years old, he entered the Xuanjia Army, with the Dai Guogong out of Yinshan to conquer the Donghu people, stood out in front of the battle, and then led a hundred people to attack the Jieli Khan King Tent, and killed the Donghu General in front of the tooth tent, only to know that he was not only brave and fearless, but also proficient in the art of war, and since then he has become famous in the army. After returning to Chang'an, he heard that the sage was very appreciative, and ordered him to worship under General Su of Zuowei Zhonglang, and taught for a while. ”

After hearing this, Feng Ling was silent for a long time, and muttered: "It is said that he should be in the middle of the sky, why was he sent to the border city to guard ......?"

"Auntie, I don't know anything." Buddha Nu smiled lightly: "With a background like his, no matter how much a saint appreciates it, he can't go beyond those gate lords." It just so happened that his fate was good, and the newly appointed Liu Shilang of the Ministry of War, accustomed to figuring out the holy will, knew that the saint valued him, and also valued border commerce, so he sent him to Shazhou skillfully, and after he packed up the remnants of Yibi Lu, Ashina Helu, and after leveling the bandits in the trade road, he returned to Chang'an, with outstanding military achievements, and it was much easier for the golden talisman to add to his body. Liu Shilang knows people and recommends people, and he is recommended on the heart of the saint, and he is in line with the holy will, and he is close to the people's hearts. ”

The Buddha Nu talked eloquently, and the wind spirit slowly turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, "When did you understand the hearts of the people in the court?" ”

Buddha Nu laughed and stopped, waving his hand again and again, "Nonsense." In the end, she couldn't help but say more, "Auntie, do you know who that Liu Shilang is?" ”

Without waiting for Feng Ling to answer, he replied to himself: "It is the brother of Suo Shenjin's wife, Mrs. Liu." ”

Her heart was shocked, and two clear ways gradually appeared in front of her: one was Suo's, a local squire, who responded to one side and attached himself to the powerful in the court; One is to delay the delay, although the current situation is the situation of the tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, far away in Chang'an City, he is a noble person who can be seen in the eyes of the sage.

Without much thought, she immediately knew which path to choose.

"Buddha, hurry back to the store." Feng Ling suddenly raised his hand to close the open window lattice, and was about to go downstairs in a hurry, "Your guest is coming, and you can't afford to drag it off." ”
