Chapter 35 A dynasty in power
On the morning of the eighteenth day of the lunar month, it was sunny and windy. (Diary)
I think today is a good day. Because, without waiting for Li Luo to go to the village for a meeting, the village Zheng Gao Jian, who came to collect taxes before, had already come uninvited.
Of course, he collects taxes.
I saw Li Luo wearing a brand-new Jiupin official uniform, with a knife handle in his hand, a small official seal hanging around his waist, and condescendingly looking down at Gao Muramasa in the courtyard.
I didn't see the villain's smug expression on Li Luo's face. On the contrary, I saw that he was very serious and his eyes were a little cold.
But I know that this fugitive must be proud in his heart.
Poor Takamuramasa looked at Li Luo in disbelief, his mouth opened involuntarily, his eyes were first stunned, and then slowly turned into awe. Along with his expression, his waist and his hands changed.
His waist began to bend, and his hand took off the hilt.
The fugitive spoke, slowly. This scene made me want to laugh out loud, I felt like I was watching a movie. The actors are so dedicated, every detail, every expression is worth remembering.
"Takamuramasa, you and I meet again. It's okay, but it saves the official a trip. ”
Gao Mura Zheng finally gave up his hand and respectfully saluted the fugitive: "Li, Li Langjun, is the new Lord of Duzhai in Hongxiang?"
The fugitive smiled and said, "It's this officer." Lord Fujun personally commissioned this errand and ordered the official to take up his new post as soon as possible. I can't say it, and the government affairs in the future will be more troublesome for Gao Cun to help. ”
I found that Gao Jian's eyes were quietly looking at the official seal on the fugitive's waist, and he should be confirming the authenticity of the fugitive's official position.
But judging by the change in his expression, he believed it.
"Little official Gao Jian, I've seen Lord Duzhai!"
Gao Jian took two steps back and saluted again. At this time, his heart should be a fluke, a little afraid, and a little flattering.
Looking at the character portrait of this person, he is sleek, good at forbearance, cautious and careful, and likes to drill camp. Such a person is very snobbish, but also easy to use and can get things done.
The fugitive raised his hand, assumed the appearance of a chief, and said, "Excuse me." Is it that Takamura is here to collect taxes? ”
That Gao Jian was really smart, and he didn't even dare to say it, saying that he came to pay New Year's greetings in advance. He also took the initiative to say: "When the Lord of Duzhai first came to take office, the little official should report some hometown information to the adult, so as to facilitate the adult to handle official business." ”
Li Luo said: "It is exactly what I want." So he invited Gao Jian into the house.
When Gao Jian saw me, he quickly saluted me again, and called me Mrs. Li. Although my heart responds, I can only respond. And because I had to take care of this era, I had to avoid the main room, and it was not good to be present to listen to their conversation.
One big, three small and four foxes are hiding in the kang hole of the main house. Seeing me come in, the female fox showed an intimate expression, as if flattering.
The three little foxes grew up a little more. In another month, the police fox training program will almost be ready.
However, during this time, I need to touch them more and familiarize them with my smell.
It stands to reason that lactating females are fierce, but this she-fox is an exception. Because it's clear that I'm keeping it. Foxes are indeed highly intelligent animals.
…………
There is no fixed office yamen in Duzhai. Where is the Duzhai family, where is the Duzhai Yamen.
It's just that the current capital village is too simple and shabby.
So much so that Li Luo's brand-new official uniform was incompatible with the bleak situation in this house.
But this did not prevent Li Luo from feeling good at all.
This is the first time he has been an official. In the past, he didn't even be a school class leader, committee member, or even class representative.
Seeing Gao Jian, who was holding the village shelf when he first came, has now become respectful, Li Luo finally tasted power.
Gao Jian pondered and said: "The Lord of the Good Sect knows that there are now eleven villages in Mani Township, with about 1,400 households, about 8,000 people, about 20,000 acres of land, and a fishing port. This year, a total of more than 5,000 yuan per mu tax was collected, more than 2,400 yuan of exempt tax, more than 1,500 yuan of east tax, more than 200 yuan of commercial tax, and more than 400 yuan of fish tax. A total of about 10,000 yuan will be taxed this year. ”
It's really ruthless! Li Luo thought. A township with a population of 8,000 people actually levied thousands of taxes.
Listening to Gao Jian's words, Li Luo had a concept in general. He asked again: "How many Xiangyong are there now?"
Gao Jian said: "Xiangyong is rotated every two years. Now at the end of the year, this round of township courage has been hard for two years, and it is already a low value. Now there is not one. ”
Li Luo frowned and said: "Then it should also be recruited by the new fellow bravery, and the fellow brave is on duty, right?" How can there be a reason why Xinxiang Yong has not yet been on duty, and Lao Xiangyong will be on duty in advance? ”
Gao Mura smiled bitterly: "In the past two years, there are only dozens of fellow villagers, and they are still hardliners, and everyone is unwilling." The last time the pirates destroyed the Pu family, Zhou Duzhai at that time had to force the villagers to go into battle, and finally six people were killed by the pirates, and the others dispersed in a hurry. Now that I can't even see the bereavement of the dead, where is there anyone who is a village warrior? Naturally, there is not a single one. After the Pu family was wiped out, Zhou Duzhai was eaten and hung up, and he was also removed from his official position. ”
Li Luo actually wished that the Goryeo people should not recruit the villagers, and only the Goryeo people regarded the villagers as fearful, so that he had an excuse to recruit Han and Jurchens.
After all, he is now pretending to be a Korean and being an official of the Koreans.
"Gao Muramasa, you go and contact the other ten Muramasa and ask them to come here... Come here to discuss the matter. Be sure to arrive within two hours. ”
"The little official obeys!"
Gao Jian got up and walked quickly out of the Li family's courtyard.
Li Luo pinched his watch, and just after one o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people came to the Li family's courtyard, and the villagers couldn't help but stop and watch.
"It's all Lord Muramasa, why are the eleven people coming to the Li family?"
"What happened to the Li family? Why do so many Muramasa adults come to the door together? ”
"Are you stupid, didn't you see that the village leaders are carrying gift boxes? That's a gift for the Li family! ”
"Give a gift to the Li family? By the way, they must have known that Li Langjun was from a family, so they came to the door to curry favor. ”
Don't talk about the villagers here, just say that Gao Jian and the other ten villagers are coming to the door together, and there is a lot of noise.
"The little official has seen Lord Duzhai!"
"I've seen Lord Duzhai!"
Eleven people bent down and saluted together, and the sound was loud, and it had already been heard by the villagers.
Immediately afterwards, the villagers saw Li Luo walking out of the house in an official uniform. The nine-grade official uniform, like a strong sunlight, suddenly pierced the eyes of the villagers.
"Li Langjun has done the capital!"
"Duzhai Lord ......"
"No wonder! I will say that Li Langjun will not be simple. Now it's all done! ”
Goryeo was more respectful and inferior than in the Central Plains. Don't look at Li Luo's nine grades, a big sesame official, but in the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is a great person.
"Everyone, let's go into the house together!"
Li Luo said a word, and then turned around and went into the house.
The villages were rushing in with gift boxes, and the room was suddenly filled with people in cyan uniforms.
Everyone did not laugh at the simple house of Lord Duzhai, because everyone knew that this was just a temporary place for the freshly baked Li Duzhai to settle down.
They had already heard Gao Jian's origin about Li Luo, and they didn't doubt it. A young foreigner, who came here less than a month ago and became a Jiupin capital village, how could he not be born in a family?
Only the children of the world can do this.
Therefore, no one despised the Li family's small courtyard because of its simplicity and dilapidation.
What they are most in awe of is not Li Luo, or even Li Luo's official, but the signboard of "Renzhou Li Family".
"The official Li Luo, trusted by Zheng Fujun, entrusted the position of the capital of Mani Township. From now on, I will need your best help. Li Luo said nonchalantly.
"That's, that's!"
"Nature does its best..."
Everyone expressed their position in unison.
Li Luo was more satisfied with their attitude, "Then, you will first report your names with this official one by one, and our colleagues will know each other with the same heart." ”
Next, the ten villages are each introducing to Li Luo: who is the surname, how the village is and so on.
Li Luo listened while waving his record, and shocked everyone again with the word Dong in one hand.
