Dongjun, south of the Luo River.

Cheng Li has been busy since Ma Yue left, and as soon as the edict carried by Jian Shuo came out, the entire Luonan was boiling, and there was an endless stream of large households who came to offer fields. Cheng Li's mission is to register all these large households and record every cent of their land. After that, the people who migrated from Luobei were registered and given them enough land.

This is a job that sounds easy but is actually huge and trivial, and Cheng Li sits in the official temple all day long sorting out the archives and sorting them out into categories.

"Dong'a Fan's family, offering thousands of acres of land, Erlang's official names are Fan Ji and Fan Wen. Dong'a Xue's family, 500 acres of land, Lang's official name is Xue Hua. Yanggu Qin's family, 500 acres of land, Lang official name Qin. Pingyin Huai's family, 700 acres of land, promoted to the second class, Lang Guan's name Huaicang ......"

Transcribing all the records written on the bamboo pieces onto the paper, Cheng Li put down the pen, rubbed his swollen temples, and sighed.

After all, I am getting older, and my busy body feels a little unbearable these days.

At this moment, Cheng Wumai walked inside and hurriedly said: "Father, some of the people who moved south were dissatisfied with the fields divided by those eunuchs, and hundreds of people gathered in Cangting to make a fuss, clamoring to see Captain Changshui, go and take a look!" ”

"There is such a thing!" Cheng Li couldn't care about being tired, and hurriedly got up and walked outside the house with Cheng Wu, and just halfway through, Cheng Li waved his hand and said to Cheng Wu: "Wu'er will bring his father's sword." ”

"Yes."

Cheng Wu reflexively entered, took Cheng Li's Han sword from the sword rack on the wall, and hung it to his waist for his father, and the two hurriedly got out of the official temple and galloped towards the Cangting Pavilion.

Cangting, a pavilion-level administrative unit near Dong'e, is located thirty miles west of Shengdong'e.

At this time, Cangting has made a lot of trouble, and the officials who arranged for the people to move south here are the new Dong'e County Commander Xue Zhi and Jian Shuo's entourage, and the scorching sun will roast everyone on the outside and tender on the inside, and the red man in front of His Majesty, Jian Shuo, and the Yellow Gate will not suffer here with these mud-legged people.

Jian Shuo didn't know that these people were his cronies, but before this they had another identity, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's protégés.

Cheng Li galloped all the way, and saw that the pavilion was surrounded by hundreds of people, and there was a sound of scolding in his ears, and more than ten pavilion soldiers relied on the fence of the pavilion and the long ge in their hands to stop the people's movements.

Xue Zhi was righteously saying something to the people, but he was too far away, Cheng Li couldn't hear it clearly, and suddenly he didn't know what Xue Zhi said, and the strong men among the people crowded forward, scaring Xue Zhi back again and again, and ordered the pavilion guards to go straight to the people, and the two sides were tense, and the fight was almost imminent.

Cheng Li looked anxious on the horse's back, slapped the horse and rushed forward, only a few dozen steps away and shouted: "Get out of the way, put down your weapons!" ”

"Father is dangerous!" Cheng Wu was even more anxious, in his opinion, his father's safety was the most important, patting the horse forward to stop the galloping horse, but the good horse sat down in his father, he was riding just a bad horse that he usually used to pull the cart, it was not easy to keep up, and he had no strength to rush forward at all.

The people suddenly heard this loud shout and turned back in horror, and saw a forty-year-old man galloping on his horse, hurriedly pulling each other to make way for a vacant seat, some fell and some shouted in the panic, and the situation suddenly became more chaotic, but they all made way for the galloping horse, and let Cheng Lizhi be at the door of the pavilion.

"Herod!"

In the face of more than ten Changge, the horse neighed and stood up, pouting Cheng Li on his back to the ground, shaking up a large amount of dust, and the people retreated a few steps.

A cough came out of the dust, and then a loud shout came out: "Put down all the weapons to the old man!" ”

In the smoke and dust, a figure of more than eight feet was revealed, straightened the small crown on his hair, and asked Xue Zhi with a cold eyebrow: "Xue Xianzun, what is the matter?" ”

Xue Zhi saw that it was Cheng Li, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Cheng, these ** are dissatisfied with the acres of land they have shared, and they want to attack and kill the official!" ”

"Fart!"

A sturdy young man among the people shouted: "It is clear that you, the old man, do not distribute the land to the people and bend the law for personal gain." I just said that I was looking for the captain of Changshui to comment on the theory, folks, he kept claiming that we were **, this old man on horseback knew him, and he was clearly a raccoon dog, and he killed them, and I will go back to find Bu Jiqu Shuai! ”

The people were excited, the pavilion guards kept retreating, although they were equipped with weapons, they were still just pavilion pawns, who had been on the battlefield, besieged by hundreds of mobs had already made them feel gallant, which dared to take the lead in attacking, had to keep retracting the defense line, and the fence of the pavilion was about to be pushed down by the people.

Cheng Li was not afraid in the face of the angry people, and opened his arms and shouted: "Fellow villagers, the old man Cheng Li is also a villager from Dongjun, I hope you will tell the truth to the old man, and the old man is the master of the villagers!" ”

When the old man heard this, he said: "Your Majesty issued an edict to pardon us and others, and we are grateful to Dade, but the county respects the saint and gives me five acres of land for each household, what can I do with five acres of land?" The old man has four sons and three daughters under his knees, and the grain on five acres of land can't even feed half of it. ”

The surrounding people also chimed in: "Yes, Captain Changshui has no faith in his words!" ”

Cheng Li frowned when he heard this, bowed to the old man and said, "Old man, calm your anger, I will definitely ask for an explanation for you." ”

After that, Cheng Li turned his head to Xue Zhi and asked: "County Zun, the acres of land set by a certain one are clearly five acres per ding, and there are sixty old men who add five acres, why is it five acres per household now, eh?" ”

Cheng Li was almost furious, and asked Xue Zhi loudly, he didn't care that Xue Zhi was a county order, even though he was just a loose rider in charge of logistics in the Changshui camp, this was a matter of reason. Yu Gong was the one who offered Ma Yue's advice, and he was the one who made the plan, this was his business, and now that things had an accident, he had to give Xue Zhi an explanation. Yu Zhi, Xue Zhi, was recommended by Ma Yue to become the county commander, but now he has ruined Ma Yue's reputation and is disloyal.

The most important thing is that the southward migration of the people is the top priority of the Changshui Battalion's battle against Luobei, and it cannot be changed!

Xue Zhi couldn't help but take two steps back in the face of Cheng Li's questioning, and then felt insulted and moved forward and said, "Sir, this is the meaning of these Huangmen, five acres per household, and it can't be changed." ”

"Yellow Gate?" Cheng Li sneered, turned his head and said to the people: "Folks, it's really a traitor, I'm sorry to wait." From today onwards, the old man will supervise again, five acres per ding, and the sixty-year-old people in the household will add another five acres, please come to my place to register! ”

"No!" Behind Xue Zhi, there was no need for the young man to shout: "How can the request of the permanent servant allow you, the veteran, to change it without authorization?" The pavilion has informed the army that the army will arrive in a moment, and the five acres of each household cannot be changed! Dare to gather and wait for the chickens and dogs to stay! ”

"Veteran?" Cheng Li gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, suddenly broke away and pulled out the Han sword on his side, and the three-foot sword blade stabbed into the chest of the beardless young man in an instant, and blood splattered!
