Chapter 96: The Shadow Army (3)

There is a hill in the city, Huanshalou is located on the top of the mountain, build a pot of fragrant tea, there is a faint fragrance in the building, a guqin is slowly melodious, simple and elegant harmony is just right.

A few people tasted a cup of tea, sighed a few words of warmth and coldness in the world, and floated up. Su Wen didn't understand these idle and elegant things, so he could only wait for everyone to slowly brew emotions and take a look at the scenery by himself. Huansha building is high and can look far away, the ancient city style is all in the eye, sit and watch the flowing water, wait for the ancient city to pass with time little by little clothed in golden veil. In front of me, the roof of the snow tile cornices is stacked on top of each other, and the chickens and dogs smell each other, and the smoke gradually rises.

In the nearby streets, the family walked calmly, the father held his young son around his neck, the son smiled, and the wife gently pulled the son's shirt, blaming her husband for his recklessness. Hua Yue'e felt when she saw people, and raised her lamp to invite Su Wen to take a sip of tea, "Lord Su doesn't like music?" Mrs. Hua's composure made Su Wen a little jealous, and the other party's age and experience were in front of him, and Su Wen didn't dare to be pretentious, so as not to laugh and be generous.

Su Wen is good at talking nonsense, when he encounters serious topics, he will be nervous and don't know how to express it, and it is easy to think about a few words, he is always said to be naïve, and it is not wrong to praise people, he raised his hand and pointed at the family, and said: "I am watching Mrs. Hua educate in a good way, and that family looks so harmonious." Hua Yue'e laughed: "Master Su doesn't need to go around the bend with my old lady, what you want to talk about is another family, right?"

Since he picked it up, Su Wen was of course willing, but he was worried that she was not easy to talk to, and wanted to understand what she meant first. First laughed at himself: "Mrs. Hua eats more salt than I walk, and I can't hide anything from you." Hua Yue'e looked at Su Wen kindly and said, "The future is terrifying." Hua Yue's face is not old, looking at her pampered and wealthy appearance, Su Wen guessed that she should be regarded as a person with family status. If you give face, I'm afraid you have to give it to Lizi. can think about the clanging of the poor in the county, and I can't help but worry. I had no choice but to talk about the future as discussed with Zhao Shu. "Are these men going out again after the holiday?"

Small kiosk

Hua Yue'e stood up and looked at the ancient city wrapped in silver, who lit a fire on the sudden silver tile, and instantly burned into a piece of red, the shadow slowly spread, the ancient city seemed to be sleeping, but it never really slept, the lights lit up, and the favorite night of the homecoming family really began, and the young men and women were about to indulge in joy. With a different smile, Hua Yue'e said slowly: "Sister, the righteousness of heaven and earth is also." Heaven and earth do not intersect, and all things do not prosper. Returning to my sister is the beginning of the end of a person. This means that if heaven and earth were not combined, there would be no prosperity in the world. When the woman gets married, she should be harmonious with her husband's family, and she should be kind and loving. ”

Su Wen saw that she meant to help the man come out, for fear that there would be no room for redemption when he said it, so he hurriedly said: "Well, but this distance hinders the emotional communication between husband and wife!"

Zhao Shu was also clever, so she had to interject and said: "Since it is the end of man, heaven and earth are righteous." There are some things that don't have to be grasped so deadly, right? It is better to resolve grievances and knots, let alone hate each other. One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. ”

This beauty is dressed in a refined manner, although she is silent, she is really a powerful character when she opens her mouth, the two sing and harmonize, but they cooperate well, Hua Yue'e was not annoyed when she heard the words, she swept her eyes over the faces of the two, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe, it turned out to be old and confused, looking at Lord Su's soldiers, I thought you were going to severely punish Lord Lan." In this way, very good! Very good!" This confused Su Wen and Zhao Shu, and the two glanced at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Seeing that the two of them were confused, Hua Yue'e asked the idle people and her son to go down, and said in a low voice: "Master Su doesn't seem to be a pedantic person, and he is not afraid of ugliness, so he will show his old face and tell you the dirt of this village." Taking a sip of water, he looked at the two people who were even more confused: "When the men go out in the village, there is no male partner to play in the girl's house at most." But these women are suffering, and the men who go out are all poor families, and the old and young in the family have to work hard, all kinds of bitterness and bitterness.... It's hard to put into words. Hearing this, Zhao Shu probably understood the situation: "After a hard day, it was quiet late at night, and I felt lonely and lonely. Hua Yue'e continued: "At this time, if there is a man who shush the cold and ask for warmth. Or a small favor", "This is dry firewood", "A little bit"

Su Wen was dumbfounded when he heard the conversation between the two, What about the two of you talking about cross talk? Who are you fooling in rehearsal? I couldn't help but ask, "Is this serious matter in the village?" Hua Yue'e did not answer positively: "There is a village nearby, and some women work in the yarn factory, saying that their pavilion chief has an affair with a woman who is beautiful in half of the village. Some idle guys will even blackmail and extort property" Su Wen was shocked, there is no need for this old lady to deceive people, right?

"What should I do if I find out? Arrest? According to the law, both men and women should be arrested. "Zhao Shu knows the law and has no choice but to do it.

Hua Yue'e sighed: "The former minister also said the same, yes, what can I do? There is no way to catch it, I am afraid that everyone will run away if I catch too much." I'm afraid that the Xiqu Mountain Country will become a dead city. Speaking of today's incident, Hua Zhihuan's husband is used to living outside, and he is reluctant to give up his outside career, and he is no longer willing to return to this somewhat strange home after being separated for many years. I also accepted a concubine outside. He made this fuss just because he wanted some money. ”

"Uh... As long as it can be solved with money, Su Wen paused: "I can't solve anything" caused Zhao Shu to "cut" a scorn.

The village is the scope of a clan, and the continuation of the clan requires a strong force to safeguard the interests of Huayu Village. In this way, the authority of the clan can be established, Hua Yue'e said: "Hua Zhihuan is a good woman, and the village will come out to help her, but I don't know if his husband asks for much, I heard that he knows a lot of people from three religions and nine streams outside." When the time comes, I will ask Master Su to help me deal with it. ”

Su Wen really can't solve the money thing, he will do it in this place

It's the law, since he is not afraid of causing public anger, he has a simpler and more direct way, calling Hua Murong, who is the master of the history: "You remember the following arrangement." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Hua Murong take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot that you are in charge of the record, this matter cannot be recorded as a document, just remember it privately." "Pull him aside and teach him face-to-face.

Seeing Su Wen walk away, Hua Yue'e had mixed feelings, counting the people who lit up the lights in the village. On the day of the family reunion, half of the lights in the fort have long ceased to turn on, and this year there are a few fewer households.... Who wants to be young and beautiful and stay alive and widowed, everyone has their own dignity and their own pursuits. Hua Hu, who is doing a small business on the street, and a distant relative of the Hua family, who runs a noodle restaurant, abducted the two daughters-in-law on the street, and the two men are looking around for trouble with these two people. Maybe I can't bear the loneliness and run away with people. Everyone's statements are different, some people say that the mother-in-law of the two daughters-in-law is not good for the daughter-in-law, and some people say that the current daughter-in-law is not reliable, but from the left-behind daughter-in-law to the single-parent family, only two children are left to watch alone in the remote ancient fortress, and the two men who have no wives will go out again after the New Year, because the two women disappeared without a trace, and the year is probably full of sadness and tears.

Looking at Hua Yue'e counting the lights in a family, Zhao Shu frowned, the third elder is in charge of local taxes, looking at her like this, I am afraid there is still a hidden secret. Could it be that it is a loss of population? For the officials and squires, this is a serious crime comparable to rebellion, and it is not enough to kill their heads, but how can these people live if they are not hired in this life? Whispered Q&A: "There are a lot of people walking in Huayuzhai?"

A low sentence was tantamount to thunder for Hua Yue, and the startled Hua Yue'e immediately turned her face and looked at her in astonishment, this woman is not very old, her eyes are really poisonous, since she has guessed it, I am afraid she can't hide it, except for a few cities, the situation in the entire county Mubao village is almost the same. As long as the minister of state does not target anyone, he must pay attention to the law and not blame the public. Besides, who wants to leave their hometown? Who wants to run away? Many old people in the village have come to me to cry and complain, if they are not too excessive, they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak, if their daughters-in-law run away, who will care if they leave some half-grown children? As the third elder, he has the duty of educating the villagers. If the people's customs are not right, the three elders are guilty of dereliction of duty.

Seeing that she was a family elder and a local gentry who had been running a place for many years were panicked, Zhao Shu confirmed her guess: the decline of the underground of Xiqu Kingdom has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and I am afraid that there are deeper evils hidden in the calm on the surface. In this case, it is better to open up and say: "What is the bad morals and customs? The money, food, and people are gone, and what kind of county is there to mention? I am afraid that in a few years, a huge county will wither!"

Hua Yue'e was overjoyed when she heard this, she put the blame on the county, and presumably did not intend to hold herself responsible. If she is dealing with the affairs of the man and woman and has a disagreement with her, she is already pursuing the loss of the people and the loss of education. couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to despise this young county minister, and he was even more jealous of his beautiful staff.

That being the case, Hua Yue'e settled down, walked to Zhao Shu's side and whispered: "Miss Zhao is right, there are many separations, and the wife has no expectations for her husband, and women can't stand the torment, and there are naturally a lot of dirty things underneath." The children were not taught by their fathers, and they saw a lot of dirty things, they didn't learn well, and the fights and brawls were all trivial, and they were all cheated and cheated. There are many more girly boys in the village. The old people are afraid that they will break up their homes and have no one to support them, so they are angry and dare not speak. After the Spring Festival, a few families are happy and a few are sad. Fighting, killing, and perverse spirit fills the countryside. If the girl needs it, the old body can tidy it up for her. ”

This situation is also unheard of, she doesn't know the reason, and she can't find a ready-made solution. Zhao Shu thought about it for a while, it couldn't be solved anyway, so it was better to put aside this matter first and probe their tone first, "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and we will discuss it when the adults come back." ”

took a sip of tea, took a look at Hua Yue'e, since the Shang Jia family, it stands to reason that they should have an understanding of the general trend, and said: "Madame should have heard that Master Su won a battle, and this battle killed nearly a thousand enemies, which can be regarded as opening up the flower language grassland." The adults planned to set up a mutual urban area at the pass from the grassland to Xisu, but the dredging of the wharves and waterways of the Xiqu River required caravans to go to various places to solicit goods merchants. These require a large number of people and property, but the Xiqushan country has been weak for a long time. I wonder what Madame suggests?"

Hearing this, Hua Yue'e was shocked, stood up after thinking for a while, stared at Zhao Shu and said, "General Su does have the courage to open the market?"

After discussing it countless times, whether Hua Yue'e supports it or not, it will not affect the overall situation, Zhao Shu said without thinking: "Of course." ”

"Isn't it Asari?"

"Of course not, I'm just a border city in Xiqushan Country, where are the adults who are tired of Xinsu. ”

"Not afraid?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid... Are you afraid?, won't things come to you?" Zhao Shu's words were helpless, but extremely convincing.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head of the snake, but the size of this dragon is too large, and I am afraid that the snake will only tremble. Hua Yue'e couldn't hold back her worry: "How sure are you?"

"To be honest, none of them. Zhao Shu finally used one sentence to help Hua Yue'e make up her mind: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky!"

At the moment, it was a situation of slowly dying, Hua Yue'e didn't expect this young county minister to be so bold and reckless. Dare to open a border market alone. But since he dares to do it, of course, it is easy to make trade-offs for those who follow the trend below, Hua Yue'e immediately stopped treating herself as an outsider, she didn't need to think about anything, and spoke quickly: "Miss Zhao must know that the clan family of Xiqu Country, and the ancestor of the Han Zi of the horse breeding land is the convoy and guard of the Huayu Grassland, and she will definitely not object."

My Huayuzhai is only better in business and shipping, if you want to succeed, you must go to the Iron Castle, as long as the Iron Castle nods, Xiqu can be twisted into a rope. We are far from everywhere, and we may not be without opportunities. ”

Zhao Shu had done her homework, and even Ling Mengyi, who was born in the Iron Castle, shook her head when she mentioned her hometown. "Isn't the Iron Castle about to be abandoned? I heard that there are few furnaces left. ”

This Zhao girl is scheming and powerful, but after all, she is young, and the rotten ship has three catties of nails, not to mention the iron-smelting land that has been inherited for thousands of years. Hua Yue'e whispered, "Miss Zhao doesn't know, the iron castle has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are not many blacksmiths and apprentices outside the fort. If you don't have a few divine weapons by your side, do you think those girls who have been lifted can beat the demon beasts?"

Zhao Shu, who said this, suddenly realized. No wonder I never heard a few girls talk about the details, the legend is that the head was killed and injured demon beast, the problem is who injured the demon beast? I didn't see them particularly powerful during the scientific expedition, if it wasn't for Su Wen's shot, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back.

After arranging things, Su Wen stood outside the hall with his hands behind his back and listened to the two chatting, happy to death. Zhao Shu said that Hua Yue'e was moved, that is, the township party forces opened the opening, and the following things could be arranged. According to historical and political theories with half a bucket of water in the belly, mobilizing the masses is tantamount to picking up a double-edged sword. The masses have no family background and lack patience. Not only to give real money benefits to long-term benefits immediately, or to solve immediate problems. There is no money in the pocket, and there is no local tyrant to fight, so divide the land? Huh? Why did you forget this stubble? You can divide the land without beating the local tyrants? There was no good land before, but now the grassland is the first field!

couldn't help but praise himself for being smart, and he didn't care about the city government anymore, and hurried back to the pavilion. The emperor, who raised his eyebrows and studied film, was shy and straight, pretending to point out the rivers and mountains: "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting...... Hurry up and find a step: "Xiao Zhao, let me say, you can help me record." ”

Su Wen was tall, and his wounds made him walk clumsily and slowly, but he learned to look like an emperor again. The dragon and the tiger really look a little bit like it. Zhao Shu looked a little in a trance, and the poems were also quite imposing, could it be that he was born as an emperor at the right time? He sneered, but he didn't wipe his face: "Please rest assured, the palace is naturally waiting for you." As he spoke, the paper and pen left by Hua Murong were spread out, dipped in a millimeter of ink, flowing clouds and water, and the pen was like a cloud of smoke.

It's a serious county lord. The two sang and harmonized like this, and the background was a rich and wealthy ancient city with silver makeup. looked at Hua Yue'e in a daze. really regarded the two of them as the body of a dragon and a phoenix, and was busy going over to help Wen Mo.

Su Wen coughed: "In view of the current grim economic, political, and people's livelihood situation. I declare that the county is immediately in emergency mode. It is imperative to address women's personal problems. ”

Brushing a few strokes, Zhao Shu, who writes, is just the opposite of her usual appearance, a hook and a stroke, clear and powerful, revealing the ability of the back of the paper engraved between the lines. Suddenly stopped the pen and looked up at Su Wen. Although the grammar of the first few sentences is vulgar, the meaning is okay, why is it related to women's lives?

"Alas.... This one... We should attach importance to the issue of left-behind women, which is a major issue that has a bearing on stability and unity. Not only physically, but also psychologically" "What do you mean physiologically?" Zhao Shu was powerless to play with her. "Don't interrupt, just solve the problem of sexual repression for them. Zhao Shu pouted, too lazy to play with him. "Forget it, let's talk about measures directly," Su Wen couldn't go on, "Let's solve the problems of left-behind women, children, and the elderly together." First of all, a special working group will be set up, which will be responsible for allocating special funds. From the psychological to the physiological grasp together, and all of them are hard. ”

Zhao Shu pouted, do you want to remember this? You have nothing to do with the county, and you are going to help women solve problems?

Su Wen had no distractions, for fear of stopping and forgetting the words: "Treat it as a life-and-death war." This group is called the 386199 Working Group, and these people are code-named: 386199 Force. The solution is as follows: First, the county government stepped in to provide more jobs and employment opportunities so that their men would not go out, or would not need to go out for that long. The measures included dredging of river wharves, the formation and dispatch of caravans, the establishment of inter-districts, and the placing of orders by the county government for the stocking of existing industries. The second point is to reform the household registration system, break the dual structure of urban and rural areas, and in the future, there will be no distinction between forts and cities, good citizens and untouchable prisoners of war. All in one place. Attract mountain tribes to relocate. ”

Hua Yue'e Zhao Shu saw that what he said was the Tao, and couldn't help but look at each other, and saw him stop. Zhao Shu looked at him with contempt: "It's over?...... All, are you sure you have the money to do this?"

Su Wen was waiting for her words, and said proudly: "Remember well, you can't make mistakes in the key places." The formation of the Flower Grassland Development Special Zone, led by the Dandelion Regiment, 386199 troops and their families, first set up the Flower Language Grassland Army Cantonment. Then Ma Zheng transferred manpower to form a military horse ranch. ”

Hua Yue'e and Zhao Shu are thorough at a glance, and the limitations of traditional thinking have solidified their way of thinking. Cultivating grasslands has never been thought about..... Zhao Shu asked, "Can the demon beast agree?" Su Wen took out the divine bow and put on a false pose: "The demon beast has to ask me if I agree first?" Tomorrow we will go to the Iron Castle, the era of artifacts has arrived...... ”

Zhao Shu looked at him stupidly, as if he knew this person again, since he knew him, he had watched this man fight and kill all the way, as if he didn't know what the purpose was. Killing brings him close to becoming a demon, and at this moment he changes, and his shoulders are pressed against something called responsibility, and maybe he will become pampered by women and become a "hero" in people's hearts. Or maybe he'll be bruised all over his body, or even lose his name.
