When Li Luo returned to Huadao in Goryeo, it was already June 4.

He left for the sea on 5 May and returned on 4 June, a whole month.

Fortunately, he is not an official in the court, otherwise he would have lost his official position by leaving his post for a month.

Li Luo parked the big ship in the harbor, temporarily left a hundred people to guard it, and then went ashore in Mani Township on foot. Along the way, I saw that there were crops growing well, and I felt a sense of security and accomplishment.

It seems that this year is at least a good year in Mani Township.

Of course, this is related to the policies he implemented to benefit the people, especially the repair of water conservancy and irrigation.

He is not a Goryeo, but he is an official of Goryeo, how can he ignore the people's livelihood?

"The townsman is back!"

"I've seen Smecta in the country!"

"Oh Xiangjun, how can you walk, please Xiangjun ride our ploughing ox Smecta!"

When the Goryeo people on the side of the road saw Li Luo's return, they were all surprised and knelt down in the fields to say hello.

Although Li Luo knew that "Xiangjun" was the honorific title of the township official in Goryeo, he always remembered the title of Mrs. Central Plains, and felt strange in his heart.

Yan Duo was very pleased to see it, Li Luo was so popular, he really had the style of a good eunuch and a virtuous pastor in ancient times.

In the end, Li Luo and Yan Duo rode the villagers' two ploughing oxen and returned to Lijiawu Fort.

As soon as he returned, Du Lie and Utu, who were in charge of staying behind, took the initiative to report in detail about the events of the month.

The 200 villagers who stayed behind have completely completed the training of recruits, and they are all qualified in the queue, white blade, archery, coordination, and military discipline, and they can fight a battle.

The newly recruited Han people from the other three townships have been forcibly recruited by all villages, totaling 900 people. But because Li Luo was not there, he could not seal and sign for it, and the villages did not hand over to Xiangyong.

There was also a big event that happened during this period.

Half a month ago, nearly 100 pirates suddenly came ashore in the middle of the night and raided Lijiawu Fort. However, the walls of the dock fort were high and deep, and they were well defended. As soon as the pirates came, they were bloodied, and they did not dare to evacuate quickly.

Du Lie and Utu were worried that this was a pirate ploy and that the dock fort would fail, so they did not go out of the fort to pursue it.

Fortunately, after the small defeat, the pirates were like lost dogs, and they boarded the ship in panic and escaped into the sea, without harming the villagers.

Judging by Du Lie, that group of pirates should be the big thief who wiped out the Park family last year, and they are also the target of the reward that Ganghwa County has been offering.

After Du Yeol and Utu finished reporting, the housekeeper Lee Min Ho also took the initiative to report the affairs of the inner courtyard of the middle court.

Dozens of students in Yeyue Hall insisted on reviewing the homework assigned by Li Luo and Cui Xiuning every day, and studied diligently day after day.

The other stewards and servants of the house also kept to themselves, and nothing went wrong.

In this month, a total of 218 yuan was spent, of which nearly 200 yuan was used to purchase grain, meat, and vegetables for 200 people who stayed behind in the villages.

Calculate the average monthly food cost for each soldier!

Even the Praetorian Guards of the King of Goryeo probably don't have this treatment. Although Li Luo's Xiangyong has a high training intensity and a long time, he is full of white rice and white noodles, and he has meat every day, so he should not eat too moisturizing.

One more important thing.

Ten days ago, the Li family of Renzhou came to visit and said that they wanted to meet the head of the family, Li Luo.

The person who came left a message, saying that after Li Luo came back, he asked him to go to the Li Mansion in Renzhou to talk.

Li Luo listened to all the reports, and first became interested in the group of pirates. They came suddenly, but I am afraid that it was not accidental.

At this time, Du Lie suddenly thought of something and said: "Wolf master, a villager once sent a wax pill, saying that it was for the wolf lord or his wife, and his subordinates did not dare to open it. ”

After Du Lie finished speaking, he found a wax pill.

Li Luo pinched the wax pill and looked at it, and there was only a small note inside, which read "May 18, pirate night attack".

The payment is: woodcutter.

It turned out to be information sent by Ji Ding, the steward of Liufu, and the woodcutter was the pseudonym given to Ji Ding by Cui Xiuning.

Even if he and Cui Xiuning are far away in Haidong, her intelligence network is still working.

Those pirates were really invited by the Liu family.

Li Luo sneered. Liu Chengrin is dead, and he can't imagine that his younger brother Liu Chengming is not at ease now, and he directly colludes with pirates to deal with him.

It seems that this bullshit willow mansion can't be kept.

However, now I can't take care of the Liu family, let them be majestic for a while.

"Let's rest for a day today, and slowly get seasick. Tomorrow, the four villages will be convened to discuss the matter. In a few days, I will visit the Li Mansion in Renzhou......" Li Luo made arrangements in his heart.

The next morning, dozens of villages in the four townships were all summoned to Lijiawu Fort to gather together.

Whether it is Gao Jian, Dong Ge and other familiar Muramasa, or more unfamiliar Muramasa, they all look respectful.

The village leaders now know that this Lord Li is not a foolish ornament, but a ruthless character with means and strength.

If anyone is perfunctory because he is young, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat, and there was more than one unlucky Muramasa before, which is a lesson from the past.

Just look at one, everyone knows that the Moses Lee family and the Mobei Liu family do not deal with each other. It stands to reason that the Liu family is so powerful, and the Li family has long been destroyed.

But the Li family is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Liu family has no way to take the Li family.

From this, how can Li Luo be simple?

Li Luo didn't bother to figure out what the village leaders were thinking, he didn't beat around the bush, asked some about the situation during this time, and simply arranged the task neatly.

"This wheat is about to be harvested, and every village must not only exterminate the locusts, but also beware of running water, for a fire in the wheat field is no fun! Everyone should go back carefully, and supervise more. ”

"Also, the rice is now being filled, and there is a lot of water. You can't overstate the importance of irrigating and distributing water in this village......"

All the villages are submissive, and they are all awe-inspiring.

After Li Luo finished talking about the farming and village affairs, he instructed the housekeeper Li Minho to arrange sour plum soup to entertain everyone and relieve the scorching heat of June.

The summer cicada outside the hospital "knows... Know", everyone was stuffy, Li Luo simply asked everyone to take off their hats and untie their belts, and they didn't have to sit upright (kneel).

After drinking the sour plum soup again, the villages will feel better, and secretly think that Master Li is also considerate of his subordinates, not the kind of mean or old-fashioned Shangguan.

Li Luo talked about the second big thing.

"You should all know that next year the Great Emperor will conquer Japan, and every county in Goryeo will send troops. Previously, because the Mongol official Turnuma was killed in our county, and the king was hung up by the Yuan court, the king punished our county and took on more military service. ”

"There are not enough officers and soldiers in our county, so we naturally have to count on the townspeople. Xiang Yong will go to Japan with the army next year, and most of them will die. This is also why the county keeper recruited Han Chinese refugees. But this truth is known to the Goryeo nation, and cannot be preached to the Han people. ”

"When you go back, you must pick the Han people to be strong, and let go of those who are not suitable for the army. It's always going to be like that, and it's good to make a difference next year......"

After talking about the second thing, Li Luo talked about the third major event that was completely fake for public and private interests.

"Go back and count how many immigrants from the West are in each village. These exiles from the western kingdom are not from Goryeo, but they are planting Goryeo fields, which is not good. The official decided to send them back to their places of origin and send them back to the Central Plains. Then they gave their fields to the Koreans. ”

Muramasa Gaojian couldn't help but say: "My lord, it is a good thing for the people of Goryeo to drive away the displaced people of the Western Kingdom and divide their fields to the Goryeo people." However, there is less tax and labor stipulated by the government, so what should be done about the gap in tax and labor? ”

The main reason why the Goryeo government accepted the Central Plains refugees was to collect more taxes and attract more labor and military service.

In other words, as long as the taxes and labor in a place are not reduced, the government will not care whether immigrants leave or stay.

Li Luo said: "The gap in tax and labor is arranged by the official. You went to count the household registration of the displaced people, and as soon as the summer grain was harvested, they were ready to migrate. This is kept secret in advance, so as not to fluctuate in the hearts of the displaced people. ”

"Nine hundred Xiangyong, I will be sent for training this afternoon!"

All the villages said together: "Yes! ”
