Chapter 122: Meaning

Returning to Fucheng from Xing'an County, the sky has darkened, there is no night ban in the city, along the street all the way, you can see the wine shops and shops with lights on everywhere, pedestrians shuttle in the meantime, children laugh and play, although it is not as prosperous as the Beijing Division, but it still has the atmosphere of Fucheng Dayi.

At this time, Liu Yu did not have the intention to appreciate the night view of the city, he rode a horse and walked towards the direction of the inner city without stopping, and the city built on the Duxiu Peak was like a huge black shadow, gradually merging with the night.

"What does he want to do? If you indulge in those mud legs, can you make a name for yourself? ”

"People say that he is the sky of Guangxi, and what a blue sky is no longer in his eyes."

"You wait to be careful, don't forget who is in charge here, there are people's eyeliner everywhere."

In a restaurant built by the river, a group of people rented the largest room on the second floor, and from the open window they could clearly see the situation on the street, and a man looked at their distant figures and whispered a reminder.

"Da Song is not guilty of his words, what if he hears it, can he still kill so-and-so?" The person who spoke was still indignant, but looking at the patrol horses that passed by from time to time, he still lowered his voice a lot, those patrol horses were not soaps, they had seen blood at a glance, and even their eyes were full of murderous aura, and they didn't dare to look at them at all.

"Kill you? He may not dare to. ”

Yu Yinglong muttered to himself, and the person was stunned when he heard it.

"But he doesn't believe it, his family doesn't have acres of land? His family does not collect rent and taxes. ”

"Hmph." Yu Yinglong shook his head: "His Yue's family is the largest landlord in eastern Zhejiang, and the family has more land than the sage's relatives, and in the entire Ninghai County, more than half of the people are his family's hired households. ”

"Then why do you want to cut off our livelihood?"

Why? Yu Yinglong also wanted to know why, and summoned all of them, the chief officials of the state, to the capital city, and didn't say what they were doing, just hung it like this, if it weren't for the good news from Yongzhou City, anyone would be muttering in their hearts. Even if it is not a rebellion, most of them have some different aspirations, maybe they are planning to dedicate this Guangxi Road to the Yuan people, this is a whole way, the land of two mansions, twenty states and three armies, the Yuan people are not ecstatic, I am afraid that even a throne will be sealed, but if you look at it, it is not like.

According to his informant, there is no problem with the victory in Yongzhou, the Yuan people are indeed retreating, and those heads poked on the wooden stakes cannot be faked, not even a prisoner alive, so that he does not hesitate to cut off his own way back, and now he has a conflict with the squires, and the ass is actually crooked to the customer's end, this is not scientific, it is not such a way to die, so the problem comes.

What does he want to do?

Suppressing Haoqiang is nothing more than asking for a name, the pen is held in the hands of the literati, offending them, and in the end, even if it is supported by all the people, it will not leave a mark in the history books, at most a cool official, he doesn't believe that the other party will not be clear, he doesn't believe that the other party is crazy, only in this way is it puzzling, Yu Yinglong looked at the black shadow that was not very high but was a single peak, and fell into thought.

"Yu Fujun, if you really want him to implement that military household system, wouldn't it cut off our way of life, you are loyal to the Duke of Su, known as famous, why don't you lead us and others to join him."

"What do you think of him? arrogant, bullying the gentry or running rampant. Yu Yinglong shook his head: "To tell you the truth, as long as this son does not rebel, the current court will not touch him at all, and when this good news enters Beijing, I am afraid that there will be a knight's reward, I can't help him, even the princes of the political affairs hall are the same, understand." ”

Yu Yinglong can see it clearly than them, military merit is a talisman, the imperial court will never self-destruct Gancheng at this time, Guangxi is a deviant road, letters are exchanged for months, and when they are delivered, the daylily is also cold, the other party is right, as long as he is still in charge of the military power, it is the day of this way.

What is the fate of the previous Lu Chen, even one of his subordinates can't fight, what is the disposition of the court in the end, I would rather transfer it than move a single martial artist, not to mention, he is a three-grade civil servant!

"So that's it? Is this still under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty? The person who spoke gritted his teeth, a look of unwillingness.

"He said how the military households are, but he didn't say that all the customers are average, the acres of land are in your hands, who you want to hire, the government can't control, the military households also have to farm and eat, if there is no land to plant?" Yu Yinglong tapped his fingers on the table and said casually.

"Then let them go to this Guangxi day to eat."

The person who spoke answered the sentence with understanding, and the rest of them all tacitly 'hehe' smiled, Yu Yinglong picked up a glass of wine expressionlessly, looked at the amber-like liquid in it, gently put it to his mouth, felt the sweet and sour taste, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Back at his own mansion, Liu Yu handed over the horse to the accompanying soldiers, and before he stepped on the steps, a subordinate ran out of it in a hurry, looking at his appearance, it seemed that something was wrong.

"I've seen Fu Shuai." Someone came to salute him, but Liu Yu couldn't call his name, because he had only been here for a day, and he hadn't recognized his head.

"What's wrong?" If you can't call it, you can't call it, it's all your own subordinates anyway, he asked as he walked inside.

Obviously, for this new official, the subordinate officials still have a wait-and-see mentality, because no one knows whether they are in line with the wishes of others, a shogunate with a handsome road, the first thing is loyalty, followed by ability, it is equivalent to a private institution, although the salary is still from the imperial court.

In the month that Liu Yu arrived, because he was busy dealing with the war, he couldn't take care of gathering manpower for the time being, and only a few of these former officials left with their predecessors, and the ordinary officials at the lower levels were still in the house.

According to the system, he should have a staff officer, a senator, a number of appropriate characters, and an indefinite number of hook writers, depending on the requirements. He gave Yang Xingqian, the chief of staff, who is still floating on the sea, and the senator appointed Zhang Qingyun as his henchman to sit in the rear of Qiongzhou, which is an indispensable position.

As for the Ji Yi he once had, it was equivalent to a confidential secretary, who should have been filled by the children of relatives or nephews, but he was alone and had no relatives to rely on, so he could only search slowly. Otherwise, why did he force Zhao Mengsong to come to the army, because it is not an easy task to find a person who can read and read in this time and space.

"An official has been waiting for a long time to visit."

Liu Yu turned around and stared at his eyes, seeing that the subordinate officials were a little hairy, but he didn't know what he was wrong.

"When will this door of this official be allowed to be entered by a person?"

"Fu Shuai forgives the sin, this person's identity is different, and the little ones don't know the rules, so they let him wait in the lobby." The subordinate was a little frightened, and hurriedly took out a document from his sleeve cage and handed it over with both hands.

"I don't know the rules, and I blame the official for not mentioning it, forget about today's matter, do you remember, no matter who comes to visit in the future, they are waiting outside, the festival hall is an important place, and no one is allowed to enter the hall without the official's signal, understand?"

After Liu Yu finished saying this, he reached out and took the document, this is a greeting post, he knew at a glance why the subordinate officials wanted to release people, he took the subordinate officials towards the lobby, while instructing his own meaning.

"You and the clerks have worked hard to draw up a decree, the content of which is: From now on, all the families of all the sergeants in the army of this road shall be exempted from taxes and miscellaneous items, and those who have been collected must be returned immediately, and those who have died in battle shall be commended by the government, and all military envoys shall be exempted, and this order must be issued to the whole road early tomorrow morning, starting from the capital city, and there shall be no mistake."

At this time, the two of them had just walked under the dripping eaves in front of the lobby, Liu Yu didn't hear the answer, stopped and looked back, the subordinate who was originally following him had fallen behind, not only that, but also opened his mouth wide, with a disbelieving expression.

"Did you not hear clearly or did you not want to do it?" Liu Yu's face sank suddenly.

"Little ...... The little one understands, this ...... Let's do it. The subordinate hurriedly lowered his head and bowed deeply, turned around and walked to the side compartment.

But before his figure disappeared under the corridor, a figure suddenly walked out of the hall and shouted urgently: "I can't help it, Fu Shuai, you must not carry out this order." ”

Liu Yu retracted his gaze and looked at this uninvited guest, dressed in a cyan robe, with a skirt, not tall, a clear complexion, a long beard fluttering under the chin, and an anxious look on his face, as if he had discovered something unusual.

"It's abrupt." Seeing the calm face of the other party, Xu stopped and arched his hand at the door of the lobby: "My surname is Zhong, I am here to mention some prison business, and I have come to visit Fu Shuai." ”

"Zhong Xian, please come inside."

The official position of the person who came has been written very clearly on the sticker, Zhong Dao, the chief officer of the Criminal Division in the Lu Branch Supervision Division, is not his subordinate, although the grade is lower than him, he can still be one of the people who can fight in court, of course, Liu Yu does not need to pay attention to his opinion, after all, the other party can only manage the prison.

However, in terms of politeness, everyone is a colleague, and there is no need to make a tension before the intention is clear, the two of them each walked into the lobby, and sat down separately under the hall, and their own people in the house served them tea, and it was obvious that the other party had been waiting for him for a while, and the tea was not hot at all.

"The constitutional envoy just said that this discussion is inappropriate, and I would like to hear about it." Liu Yu didn't plan to talk to him, so he directly followed the topic just now.

"Fu Shuai should know that the taxes in the road are not abundant, the official households have been exempted according to the system, and the military households are exempted, and everything will be pressed on the main household, who knows how many of them have joined the army, Fu Shuai thinks twice."

"Four to fifty thousand households, if this is done, the money and grain in the road will be reduced by fifty percent, if they find an opportunity to take advantage of it, they will send their children to join the army, maybe, they will not be able to collect a grain of grain in the next season, the official said, does the constitutional envoy think so?" Liu Yu smiled, making the other party stunned for a moment.

"So you know, so why do you have to do that." Zhong Dao was even more puzzled when he heard it: "You did it on purpose?" ”

"No farming, no stability, no business, no wealth, if the Great Song Dynasty points to the little bit of income in the fields, even if the people are forced to rebel, it is not much better than now, and the officials of that little money and grain are not taken into account at all." Liu Yu's smile seemed a little sarcastic to him: "Let me say it for the constitutional envoy, why can a mere thief and assassin enjoy the treatment of a scholar?" ”

These words immediately asked the other party's heart, the noble and the martial arts have been set since the founding of the country, and for more than three hundred years, this is the case, and the surprise of this Zhong Xian envoy is written on his face, there is nothing strange about it, his own approach is incompatible.

"If you want people to work hard, and you will ruin people behind your back, this kind of thing, the official can't do it, since the system is unreasonable, it must be changed, otherwise if you don't wait for the Yuan people to fight, the country will collapse by itself."

"But where does the money come from?"

"Then it's up to you and me, the government has the resources, but it still makes the warehouse empty, even the rats are not willing to enter, there is inexhaustible wealth in this world, and the output of land is only a small part of it."

Liu Yu didn't move the cup of tea beside him, but picked it up and gave a distant wish: "Zhong Xian, this official doesn't care what you and the person behind you want to do, I just want to tell you that the Yuan people are not far away, and they are already very close to Guangxi Road, and there is nothing to talk about without a country, but to defend him, what is needed is a warrior, a warrior who sacrifices himself to kill the enemy and faces the Tartars." ”

"Anyone who tries to prevent the official from saving the people is the enemy of the official, and he ...... the enemy" He didn't say what would happen, and the tone of his words suddenly changed: "Xing'an County is deaf and has provoked a civil uprising, and it should be suspended pending investigation, this is your business, and whether there is any collusion and illegal things will be found out by you one by one." ”

From the other party's almost commanding tone, Zhong Dao understood the strength of this young handsome, he knew that with the big victory under the city of Yongzhou, this person's reputation was already very within the reach of people, no matter what he did, it was not something that could be touched by a district supervisor, in this case, what others could rely on was nothing more than money and food, but people had already said that that money and food were not worth it at all, and a feeling of helplessness and confusion arose in his heart, even after saying goodbye.

Zhong Dao didn't know how he walked out of the gate of Jingluo to pacify the envoy, but when he was blown by the cold wind, he suddenly came to his senses, he hadn't explained his intention to the other party, he looked back at the vermilion lacquer gate, and his feet seemed to have roots, and he had no intention of turning back.
