Chapter 299: Three Things
On October 12th, the sun is shining, and this day is also the beginning of the autumn harvest, and the farmland is full of harvest scenes.
Xia Hanqiu sat in an inconspicuous carriage and softened his eyebrows as he looked at the hot scene outside, and he could still see such a scene in the unstable world, at least it showed that the pavilion under their rule was still stable.
Chen Chen rode a horse to the side with the spirit of twelve points, although he did not agree with the little junior sister traveling lightly, but he had to admit that looking at the scene in front of him can indeed increase hope in people's hearts, and it is worth feeling tired.
Dashing the horse approached, looking at the little junior sister with a soft expression, Chen Chen asked, "This season is considered to be extra, do you plan to requisition them all or what?" ”
"This year's collection cost is good, even if you pay taxes, you can still be full, I plan to requisition seventy percent of the extra season, and I will buy the other three percent at a relatively low price, what do you think?"
"It's more ruthless than I imagined, I thought you would requisition fifty percent at most, but you are already very merciful compared to other places, and you should be merciful to the people, but you have to prevent them from gaining an inch, this season even the seeds are provided by the yamen, they have made a lot of efforts, and you are willing to give them thirty percent of the money...... That is, you, try it with someone else. ”
Xia Hanqiu didn't put gold on his face, smiled, and said: "Give them benefits now, and when you can naturally use them in the future, okay, look at it, go back." ”
Outside the city gate, there were still many people stranded, Xia Hanqiu lifted the curtain and looked at it for a long time, not soft-hearted. But he knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted.
If there are only one or two people of unknown origin, then they will be put into the city, but there are more than 70 people, she is soft-hearted, who will bear the consequences?
went to the yamen in silence all the way, and before Xia Hanqiu sat down, he ordered: "Uncle Ming, you run an errand for me, and inform every family member who has a record on it that the first page will come to the yamen tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow on the second page will be the day after tomorrow." Let's just say that I have something to discuss. ”
"Yes." Mingde took it and took a look. Silently retreated, to finish it all, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and I have to hurry up.
Word has spread about the bumper harvest of the second crop. Did others have the audacity to follow the trend and not say? The more than ten people who followed Xia Hanqiu at the earliest were all planted on their own Zhuangzi. They couldn't help with other things, but they also tried their best to do their best in food matters.
And those who failed to take advantage of this matter regretted that their bowels were blue, and they were called at this time. No matter what you have in mind, you have come.
After the front and back yards were opened, only Xia Hanqiu was still working in the front yard, and the half occupied by the man was basically moved to the backyard, and the vacated house was opened up to the three main houses under Xia Hanqiu's order, and it was not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.
This is the first time it has come in handy.
Old Man Xu and Old Man Chen, who rarely showed up, also came, probably to suppress the pregnant princess, although they didn't know what Princess Lu Dao wanted to do when she summoned so many people.
As soon as the two of them sat there, some people were impatient and didn't dare to make any moves, only muttering in their hearts that the princess was so big.
Of course, there are quite a few people who sit together and whisper.
The two elders should not hear, and each closed his eyes to recuperate.
"The princess is here." I don't know who shouted, everyone looked at the door, and sure enough, the princess with a straight stomach walked in with the maid's hand, her steps were not fast, and the steps were so steady that the people who had been waiting for a little impetuous also quieted down.
And there were several women behind her, some of them looked indifferent, some of them were nervous, and they were nervous, and they looked a little calm.
"I didn't expect it to alarm you two."
The two old men got up to salute, but Xia Hanqiu hurriedly stopped, "It's for the sake of the child in my belly, don't give a big salute to the two of you, he can't stand it." ”
The two of them were comfortable when they heard this, and Xu Lao said on crutches: "Your Royal Highness can't stand it, it's just that the princess is considerate of our two old guys, and the princess invites you to take a seat." ”
Xia Hanqiu was no longer polite, sat down in the first place, looked around, and said before the crowd made a big salute: "In this yamen, I am a money account, not a princess, so I don't need to give a big gift, just sit down." ”
Everyone looked at each other, some of them took the lead in sitting down, some took the lead, and the people behind naturally followed.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I have a few things to discuss with you."
After sweeping his eyes, Xia Hanqiu continued: "The day before yesterday, General Yu must have heard about the departure of the army from the city, and you must have guessed in your hearts, yes, just like you guessed, the front is tight, General Yu is bringing troops to reinforce it." ”
"I went to those many people, what if there was trouble in Huiting City."
Xia Hanqiu didn't care who said this, she finally just let her answer, and said: "This is also the reason why I summoned you here, there are so many people to guard the city, don't talk about you, even I don't have enough confidence in my heart, so I want to discuss with you, and use the guards of each family and the family members who have the strength to use it." ”
As soon as these words came out, no one spoke for a long time, and the Wu family received Wu Linlang's eyes, and their hearts were crossed, and they asked the doubts in their hearts, "Princess, it's not that we don't want to respond to you, it's just that we ...... You also know that we are all dragged with a family, and the family business is more or less some, if there is no guardian family, even if you sleep at night, you have to open one eye. ”
"It's not that I borrowed someone and didn't pay it back, but I talked to you to take precautions, they only need to go to the military camp to practice during the day, and they still go back to their respective homes at night, if there is really that case, they can also play a role, not only protect Huiting City, but also protect you, if it has been stable, it is just that I trained the guards for you, no matter how you don't suffer."
It sounds like this reason, but they always feel that they have suffered a loss, no matter how Wu Linlang hints, the Wu family stopped talking, hating Wu Linlang to the point that they itch their teeth, all of them have no vision, and the mud can't support the wall!
"Old man, I have some guards in my house, when does the princess plan to use them?"
The old man's voice came from Chen Lao, Xia Hanqiu looked at him and said, "The sooner the better, just send them to the barracks." ”
"The old man will liquidate the manpower when he goes back, and he will send it early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Old guy, you are fast-talking, princess, and count me as an old man."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Xia Hanqiu was secretly grateful to the two elders for this, she knew that she couldn't be in a hurry at this time, and she had to give others some opportunities to consider and persuade, so she said: "I don't force you, I just hope that you know that since you are rooted in this pavilion city, then and this pavilion city is a glory and a loss, and the pavilion is the foundation of the restoration of the Liang country, if the big thing can be achieved, the pavilion will inevitably be the capital, and then you will be a hero, whether it is Bai Yu or the prince, you will remember your merits, presumably you have always wanted to be a Liang country, It is not a second-class person who is inferior in everything. ”
This said to the hearts of everyone present, even if they were confident that they would still be rich even if the city of Huiting changed hands, they were still willing to be people from the Liang Kingdom, just like a few years ago, the Huiting was first occupied by the Yan State, and then taken away by the Min State, but they always felt that they were from the Liang State in their hearts, and they thought so deeply.
If Liang Guo can really restore the country and become the co-ruler of the world, they will wake up laughing when they dream, but right now, they really don't dare to think too beautifully.
If Min is a towering tree, then Liang is a small sapling that has just been planted, even if it is a famous species, even if it is not afraid of wind and rain to do a good job, it wants to grow to the day when it can say goodbye to the towering tree, but it is still far away, and in this process, there are too many dangers, maybe, one day even the roots will be pulled out!
But in the end, this little tree is still thriving, and if they can help, maybe it will grow faster, and maybe it won't be uprooted one day......
The Meng family came today is Meng Ningzhi's father Meng Runze, last night his daughter came back with her stomach accompanied by her uncle, and if she became a daughter that he didn't even dare to recognize, the He family would not take it lightly, and the Meng family was worse than the He family, of course, it was more important.
"No matter what the princess asks, the Meng family needs to agree, don't care about the present." Thinking of his daughter's words, Meng Runze was heartbroken, and stood up to second, "I will also send the Jiading Nursing Home to the barracks early tomorrow morning." ”
"Your Excellency is ......"
"In Xia Meng Runze, Princess Wan'an."
Xia Hanqiu glanced at Meng Ningzhi, who was sitting upright, and nodded slightly, "I wrote it down." ”
Immediately afterwards, some people stood up one after another to express their attitudes, but a considerable number of them did not speak, maybe they were still waiting, maybe they couldn't make up their minds for a while, no matter what they thought Xia Hanqiu was not in a hurry, everyone had a herd mentality, and so many people started to take the lead, just to not fall behind, not to offend her, and to take care of this matter.
"The second thing is that there are more and more displaced people coming to the pavilion, and each family is not allowed to take them in private, for two reasons, one is that I am afraid that they are spies sent by other countries, and it is dangerous for you to hide in your homes, and we are not good at searching people, and in addition, I need the help of the homeless people, both men and women."
Seeing that everyone did not object, Xia Hanqiu continued: "As for the last thing...... Now it's October, this year is a bumper harvest, I believe that all families are grain has been put into the warehouse, the grain is not collected on your heads, I don't ask you to contribute for free, but I must ensure that the front is not food, why don't I buy it at a price that is acceptable to both parties? ”
A room full of people looked at each other, they didn't expect that the princess's questions would be more difficult for them to answer one by one, or Meng Runze spoke first, "I don't know what Princess Lu Dao said about the price that both parties can accept......"
"It's definitely lower than what the market is on, but it's also a little higher than what the grain merchants buy from the people."
"I'm against it." (To be continued......)
