On the third day of December in the second year of Longxing, Lin Weijun sat in the county government, like driving livestock, driving the clerks and soap officials in the government office, and distributed all the fertile land of the rich families in the county to the people at an almost impossible speed and with the corresponding sloppy and unrigorous attitude.

Even if there is only one person left in a household, even if this person is still a delirious "wood", as long as it is indeed from the county, it is no exception.

The surplus grain found from the official gentry's house was picked up until the evening, easily filling the official warehouse, and the rest was piled up in the courtyard of the Ningyang Inn, a mountain of sacks more than three people high. This scene seems to remind everyone with facts: Ningyang County, which is now scattered and full of depression, has just experienced a decades-long prosperous era.

When it was almost nightfall, standing in the courtyard full of pits and valleys, everyone in the Seven Divisions was excited and a little worried.

Not to mention the grain in front of him, it is a treasure chest of gold and silver piled up in the house, and it is too much for the Seven Divisions, which have less than two hundred people. How to take it on the road?

Bu An didn't care about this, he was worried about another thing: Lin Weijun's city defense soldiers had already recruited more than 300 people—in addition to the family members who committed the murder of the master, they were all traitors and petty thieves—and the Min army had not even met the requirements since the notice was posted at noon.

After dinner, when the battalion commanders came over to report the situation, he learned the reason.

In order to settle thousands of "wood", Bu'an once ordered that all these woods be sent to the homes of people who are still sober, and as long as the families who adopt the wood can receive additional ration relief.

At the moment, the wood has not been collected, but the news has already spread. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Miss Xue took matters into her own hands and added five or six catties to the monthly rations of each wood.

This matter was originally in the hands of the forester, but when Miss Xue went to discuss with him, the forester had the idea of "making meritorious service by committing crimes", and agreed without saying a word - anyway, there was surplus food, even if there was an excess, he didn't dare to move it to his own house.

When Bu An heard Luo Qingting say this, she was so angry that she stared at her, and asked her to quickly call Xue Caiyu.

Miss Xue was tired for a day, just washed up and was ready to sleep, and heard that Bu Gongzi had something important to invite, so she hurried over.

When she knocked on the door and entered the house, Bu An was washing his feet - since the crossing, his status has increased a lot, but since Su Su avoided the female ghost in the armor, he has done all these trivial things himself.

Miss Xue saw that he was showing his two calves, lowered her head and rubbed her feet seriously, a little cramped, and then saw that when he looked up, his face was uncertain, and she became nervous again.

Bu An didn't even say a polite word about inviting her to sit down, and asked, "You asked Lin Weijun to add relief rations?"

Xue Caiyu was stunned and asked carefully, "Is there not enough surplus food?"

Bu An shook his head with a cold face, and his tone was a little stiff: "In the future, it's better for Miss Xue not to interfere in this kind of thing." ”

"I remember that Lin Weijun has calculated, only a lot more, but those in the official warehouse are more than enough for the autumn harvest next year. Xue Caiyu explained with an aggrieved face.

"I didn't say enough......"

"Just enough to eat. Xue Caiyu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "People's hearts are all flesh and blood, the kindness of the step boy, the people of Ningyang County see it in their eyes, there is a way to send the Buddha to the west, and thousands of loads of rations have been allowed, so why bother with these three or five catties." ”

Bu An was wiping his feet with a cloth towel, suddenly paused in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Xue, I just wanted to ask, what is the relationship between you and my seventh division?"

"Cai Yu thought that he was already a member of the Seventh Division," Miss Xue frowned slightly, "Isn't it?"

"It's not like ......" Bu'an shook his head, then wiped his feet, wiped them clean, and put his feet on the edge of the footbath: "Even if the people in the Seven Divisions don't understand my approach, or no matter how much they disagree, they won't make a claim." ”

When Xue Caiyu heard this, he lowered his head and said nothing, looking at the ground on the side, obviously unconvinced, perhaps thinking that he was making a little fuss.

Bu An threw the cloth towel for wiping his feet on the back of the chair on the side, and asked leisurely: "Miss Xue, you said that you feel that you are already a member of the Seventh Division, so in your opinion, what is the Seventh Division?"

Xue Caiyu thought for a while and said, "I heard the brothers talk about the ghost hunting seven divisions of the Yamen in Yuezhou......

"At this time and that time," Bu An interrupted her: "The current Seventh Division is no longer a ghost hunting yamen. ”

Xue Caiyu seemed to know what he was going to say next, and defended himself in a low voice: "I know that the Seventh Commander must do it, but ...... But as the saying goes, when soldiers are outside, military orders are not subject to them, not to mention today's trivial matters. If Bu Gongzi thinks that I have hindered my face and hurt the majesty of the Seventh Division, Cai Yu will also learn to know each other in the future and be a wood matchmaker. ”

"Xue Caiyu," Bu An heard what she said, his face suddenly turned cold, and he called her by his name: "It's not the first time you've made a mistake, last time you played tricks, fortunately, it didn't affect the overall situation, I don't care about you." Today is different, because of your woman's kindness, self-righteousness, self-determination, deception and retribution, it is about to be a bad thing. ”

Xue Caiyu's breathing became heavy, her face turned red, since she can remember, she has never been reprimanded like this, she only feels that these words are like a slap in the face, but it is unreasonable - three or five catties of rations, why not miss a big thing.

"Do you know that ordinary people adopt wood, and they want to eat rations, what are they afraid of? You obviously don't know, then have you ever calculated, how many sober men are there in Ningyang County today? How many are there in wood? How many men and how many women are in the wood? You haven't even thought about this. Bu An raised his voice slightly: "Now I'll give you time to think, you come and tell me what will happen in time when all the wood in the city wakes up." ”

Xue Caiyu seemed to realize something, and muttered: "The wood is mostly men, and over time, the yang will flourish and the yin will decline......"

"If you are the head of the family, are you willing to send the men of your family to be soldiers at this juncture?" Bu An asked in a deep voice.

Miss Xue felt a chill down her spine, and she didn't know how to answer.

"In the past six months, I have been repeatedly exploited, and ordinary people's surplus food is limited, in order to survive, even if I endure the pain, I have to send one or two men to serve as soldiers. The people don't dare to starve to death of wood, so they can't deduct much rations, so it's good for you to give each wood an extra five or six catties, what does that mean by five or six catties? Do you know?"

Bu An said angrily: "Each household only needs to adopt four pieces of wood, and there will be 20 catties of grain left, and the surplus will be enough for the autumn harvest! Since ancient times, good men have not been soldiers, and if they can live a good life, who will come to enlist in the Fujian army? Who will recover the seven Fujian?"

"I ...... I'm worried about starving to death......" Xue Caiyu gradually sobbed.

"It will only take a few months, the woods will be sober, naturally there is no need to adopt, and then they will set up their own doors, and how to distribute the relief rations, and then discuss it! I have already prepared in my heart!" Bu An saw her pear blossoms and rain, and was unmoved: "But if you interfere like this, who family is willing to invite other men into the door and send their own men out?!"

"That'...... I'll go and tell the people tomorrow that the number is wrong, and I'll change ......it back," Xue Caiyu said with tears in her eyes."

"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, today it is said that thirty catties, and tomorrow it will be changed to twenty-five catties, so that the order changes day and night, who still believes in the Seventh Division?" Bu An asked coldly.

"I'm ......" Xue Caiyu shook it, fell to his knees, and choked up: "It's me who is stupid." ”

"It's not wrong to be stupid, it's wrong to be smart. Bu An couldn't see women crying in the past, but at this moment, he tried to make himself more hard-hearted, shook his head and said: "Not everyone in the Seven Divisions is extremely smart, but everyone has self-knowledge, if everything is done by their own temperament, against the Moon Worship Cult, this mere two hundred people, even to fill in the gaps between other people's teeth!"

Xue Caiyu was both aggrieved and self-blaming, these two emotions were mixed together, and she couldn't help but cry like rain.

"I ......" she reached out to wipe her tears, but her tears were wiped more and more, and she couldn't even breathe, she couldn't say a word, and still insisted on choking up: "I...... I...... Willing...... Willing to be punished......"

"Punishment?" Bu An smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "The Seventh Division has strict discipline, so naturally it will be punished, and if you are not punished, I will be 'untrustworthy'." But do you know that if you disobey the order and advocate without permission, even if it is the first offense, you will have to be deducted from the second class at the lightest, and you will be confined for 30 days, during which you will have to retreat to 30 steps away...... It's the right time to use you, and if I punish you like this, is it 'unwise'?"

"Five or six catties of rations, you forced me into a dead end of 'no trust', 'unwise', and one of the two, Xue Caiyu, do you still think this is just a trivial matter?

At this time, Miss Xue had nothing to say, just cried vigorously, crying so much that her face was full of tears and snot.

Bu An looked at her expressionlessly, estimating that the heat was too bad, and then said lightly: "The punishment is definitely punished, tomorrow you will go to Li Da and admit that you have passed the second class...... In extraordinary times, the punishment measures should be suspended and implemented separately at the right time, and I believe everyone can understand it. I only hope that you will make meritorious contributions...... Don't make any more mistakes......"

Xue Caiyu wiped her tears and nodded her head, obviously admitting her mistake very sincerely.

Bu An couldn't see that she was always kneeling on the ground, pitiful look, sighed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go rest first." ”

Xue Caiyu stood up, turned his head to leave, remembered something, and asked cautiously with a crying voice: "That...... This thing...... Should...... How can I remedy it?"

"I'll figure it out," Bu An waved his hand and was about to let her out, but he was still a little angry, feeling that it would be a bit too cheap for her to let her go through the door like this, so he pouted and said, "You go first, and pour this down by the way." ”

Xue Caiyu looked at the footwashing water in front of his fingers and was slightly stunned. Normally, she might have been furious, but now she did not dare to disobey, nodded obediently, bent down and took up the basin of footwater, bowed her head and exited the room, and turned back to close the door.

Bu'an heard the sound of water splashing on the ground, smiled evilly, and went to bed.
