The three royal ladies soon entered Gujia Village.

Now in Gujia Village, there are small changes.

At this time, it was one evening, the cold wind was blowing in the north, although the weather was extremely cold, but Gujia Village was a little lively and noisy.

A small bazaar has taken shape.

Princess Eldest Sun was a little surprised by the changes in Gujia Village because she had been here once, her eyes kept looking at both sides of the road, and finally she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "It's only been less than a month, there was no such lively scene a while ago, there was a bazaar, and it seemed very popular, but why was it evening?" ”

Gu Tianya led the way in front, looked back and smiled when he heard the words, and explained: "Spring is about to begin, and the barren fields must be reclaimed before sowing, and the canals must be renovated to ensure irrigation in times of drought......

Princess Eldest Sun nodded and said, "I see, no wonder it's evening." ”

The crown princess Zheng Guanyin suddenly spoke, and asked with a late voice: "I came to the market in the evening, and it was already dark when I returned, I don't know how to ensure the safety of these people?" I've heard that there have always been bandits in Hebei. ”

Gu Tianya hurriedly turned grim, and replied solemnly: "The Gujiacun Post Station has ninety-nine soldiers, and according to the division of responsibilities and powers, it can shelter thirty miles, every ten miles, it is thirty-three people, and every five miles, it is sixteen or seventeen people, even if it is divided into eight directions in all directions, every five miles can also have two or three people in a group, I and Zhaoning have discussed and built many patrol stations within this thirty miles, about one in five miles, with Gujia Village as the center......"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The patrol station is not big, only a brick house is built, but it is equipped with a fast horse, and there is a stove to ignite, whether it is the local people in the hometown, or the merchants who pass by, they can enter the patrol station to bake the fire, and continue to hurry after warming their bodies, and the soldiers patrol every half an hour, which can ensure the safety of the countryside within five miles." ”

This is actually the patrol system of the township police station in later generations.

The three royal ladies were amazed when they heard this.

Zheng Guanyin's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously said: "The five-mile range is not large, and there are patrols in eight directions, if the soldiers are equipped with fast horses, they can reach between the teas, that is to say, no matter which patrol station has an accident, the soldiers of the other small stations can quickly make support, so that any bandits dare not show their heads." ”

The eldest grandson princess hurriedly spoke, and said, "Brother-in-law, can you do me a favor and write the system of this inspection station into a charter, I want to bring it back to your second brother to see, so that Tiance Mansion can also follow your example and implement this method." ”

Zheng Guanyin was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "I want it too." ”

Gu Tianya did not shirk, and said with a smile: "I have already written a booklet for the specific mode of this matter, and I originally planned to send a copy to the eldest brother and second brother, but because the road is difficult to travel in the cold winter, I don't want the messenger to work too hard, so I didn't press it, and I was going to send it after the beginning of spring, since the two sisters-in-law are here now, you can bring a copy when you return." ”

Zheng Guanyin suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly asked, "Is the cost of this small station a big one?" ”

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said: "Since ancient times, it is natural for soldiers to be paid, so the soldiers' salaries must be distributed, but the patrol soldiers only receive the soldiers' salaries......"

The implication is that there is no additional cost.

Zheng Guanyin suddenly frowned slightly, and said: "I just heard you briefly describe this matter, and I feel that it is extremely hard to patrol the soldiers, if you don't give additional subsidies, will the soldiers be resentful." ”

Gu Tianya laughed and said, "Why don't I take you to ask in person." ”

He walked with his feet up, and went straight to a common person not far away, it was a middle-aged woman, who was squatting on the snow at this time to sell things, saying that she was selling things, but in fact there were only two or three things, which did not look like a small stall, but seemed to sell something to subsidize the family.

When the woman saw Gu Tianya step forward, she first stood up and curtsied, and then smiled: "Does Mr. Gu want to eat cakes?" ”

Gu Tianya didn't hesitate, he directly took out a few big coins from his arms, handed them to her, and said, "I want all of your ten or so cakes." Sell me the hen too. ”

This is the meaning of business rounding.

However, the woman was stunned, shook her head abruptly, and said, "Mr. Gu, you don't need to give alms, you can't eat so much by yourself, and you don't need to buy all the bread of the slave family." ”

Gu Tianya smiled and said, "I'm not helping you, but I really want to buy it, my family has a distinguished guest today, and I'm worried that I have nothing to entertain......"

After he said this, he brought the topic back to what happened just now, pointed to the three royal ladies and said, "The three guests of my family are more curious about patrolling the station, so it's good for you to tell them about the specific situation here." ”

The woman was stunned again, then smiled all over her face, and said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Gu has benefited the township, and your inspection station is really a great merit." ”

At this time, Zheng Guanyin spoke softly and asked carefully: "Ben... I'm curious about the cost of patrolling the station, but it's a pity that my brother-in-law pretends to be mysterious and doesn't want to say it directly, but since he brought us over to ask you, I think you can explain it thoroughly. ”

The woman smiled suddenly, nodded her head and said, "It turns out that you are curious about this, any common man can say something, the reason why those soldiers don't need to give more soldiers is because they will eat in our people's homes." ”

Zheng Guanyin was slightly stunned, a little puzzled: "So what? ”

Gu Tianya next to him chuckled lightly and said: "That is to say, all the soldiers can be saved, and they don't need to spend any money, when they are stationed at the patrol station, the local people provide them with two meals a day, they don't have to pay for food and drink, and they can eat wherever they go......

Zheng Guanyin turned around, stared at Gu Tianya, and blurted out: "You are drinking people's blood!" ”

The woman hurriedly spoke, and said hurriedly: "How is this drinking the blood of the people?" We can't wait for it! If anyone can have a patrol soldier to eat, the other women in the village will almost die of envy. ”

Zheng Guanyin stood on the spot.

I heard the woman speak and say: "Although the soldiers who patrol eat for free, they bring their own food when they come to the house to eat, to put it bluntly, we use our stove, we help them cook, we use their food, and when the meal is ready, our whole family can eat and drink with it, where can we find this kind of beautiful thing?" ”

She paused at this point, for some reason her face suddenly flushed, her voice became quieter, as if she was shy, and said: "After those soldiers have eaten at home, they must work for the family according to the rules, we have too many widows in Hebei, and some of the strength work cannot be done at all, and, and the children in the family are also looking forward to the soldiers coming, feeling like they have a father......"

The three princesses only felt a sour in their hearts.

Only then did they remember that Hebei Province has always been a place where there is a shortage of men, and for these women who have been widowed all the year round, it is a kind of sustenance for a man to occasionally appear in the family.

So, this is good governance.

But Zheng Guanyin still frowned, stared at Gu Tianya again and asked, "You just said that the soldiers' food and salary can be saved, so where does the food they bring to the people's homes come from?" Isn't it a lot of money for every soldier to eat at least two meals a day? ”

is worthy of Li Jiancheng's wife, and every issue she cares about is on the point.

Gu Tianya smiled, and said with deep meaning: "The post station soldiers work so hard, inspect the place to deter the small, protect one side, everyone benefits, the people are too poor, even if they benefit, there is nothing to repay, but what about the rich?" What about the Maison? It must be meaningful, and it is not too much to take out some food. ”

Zheng Guanyin suddenly realized, his eyes were full of color, and he said sincerely: "I see." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard the eldest grandson princess speak, and said with concern: "Although this move looks good, but there are hidden dangers, if it is a long time of daily life, will the soldiers be bought by the family?" ”

She glanced at Gu Tianya as she spoke, and said: "Even if you are not bought, it will breed greed, for example, after a hundred years, who can guarantee that this system is still good?" Now this system looks very good, because you and Zhaoning are in charge, but what about the future? Maybe the leader of one side is the biggest greedy ......"

Gu Tianya nodded, and said solemnly: "There are two sides to everything, it is very good at this time, and it was a tumor at that time, so I discussed with Zhaoning to take precautions for this kind of thing in advance, every half a year, the post soldiers will be transferred to each other, for example, Miyun County belongs to the border, and the post soldiers of the post station belong to the northern soldiers, and after half a year, these post soldiers will be directly transferred to the southernmost county of Hebei, and then the next time the guard is changed, it will be transferred to the easternmost county, so that the people are not familiar with the place, even if someone wants to buy them, But if you think about it a little, you will find that it is not worth it, because the post guard can only be stationed for half a year, and there is no chance to consolidate one side at all......"

Zheng Guanyin suddenly opened his mouth and proposed: "It is best to include the post station commander in the transfer, otherwise the mobilization of soldiers alone will not have much effect." ”

Gu Tianya suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "Even I, the initiator, have to change my guard after five months, although Gujia Village is my hometown, but after five months, I can only look at my hometown and sigh." ”

The implication is to answer Zheng Guanyin's proposal, he is the head of the post station, and he has been a post station for a month, and after five months, he will be in office for half a year, so he also has to follow the rules and transfer and leave the Gujiacun post station to go somewhere else.

The three royal ladies were stunned, and the Yang family, who had not spoken, finally spoke up and said hurriedly: "How can that be?" You're different from everyone else. ”

Gu Tianya's expression was solemn, and he said solemnly: "If even I am unwilling to comply, how can I ask others to comply?" ”

Yang was still anxious, and said, "Third Sister Xiuning is already pregnant, are you willing to leave her in Gujia Village?" Even if you can be willing, will the third sister Xiuning be willing? ”

Gu Tianya suddenly looked up at the sky, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke, and said: "The family and the royal family agreed that I would not be allowed to enter the court for the rest of my life, but they also gave a slight concession and retained my position as the post chief, so in this life, my biggest official position is this." ”

He said as if laughing at himself, and said: "Zhao Ning knows that I dream, and she doesn't want me to have regrets, so she supports me ......"

The three royal ladies were all stunned, and for some reason they always felt that these words were a bit hidden, like an excuse, but in fact, they had another deep meaning.

They came to Hebei this time, each with different purposes, and Gu Tianya also knew it, but they were silent to each other.

That's why Gu Tianya took them around the bazaar, explaining the various systems of the post station, in fact, everyone is a smart person, and they don't want to touch some sensitive topics.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a woman coming quickly, with a heroic face, it was General Xiaoqing of the Women's Army.

She first saluted the three royal daughters, and then said apologetically: "My princess has severe morning sickness, and she can't come to greet the three in person, Xiaorou is serving at home, so there is no way to greet her, so she can only be picked up by the slave maid, and ask the three nobles to atone for her s......ins."

The three princesses suddenly chuckled, and the eldest grandson, the princess, pretended to be abrupt and said: "I have been wondering why I haven't seen Xiuning for so long, how can she be such a knowledgeable person, how can she do such a rude thing, it turns out to be morning sickness, this is the first level of a woman's family." ”

The Yang family joked again and again, and said with a grin: "The third brother-in-law is really powerful, he did a big thing without a big marriage, giggles, it's the first time for the entire royal family." ”

Whether it is the eldest grandson princess or the princess Yang of Qi, they are all trying to mention family affection, after all, as royal daughters, they came to Hebei for this purpose.

And Gu Tianya took the opportunity to get out, and said with a smile: "With Xiaoqing to pick up, I will no longer accompany me, Zhaoning has really had morning sickness for a while, and even his temper has become a lot worse, it just so happens that your sister-in-law can help me take care of ......"

After a pause, he suddenly raised his hand towards the eldest grandson princess and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm tired." ”

Then he arched his hands towards Yang, and said, "Wife, brother and daughter-in-law, I'm tired." ”

Only Zheng Guanyin was on his face, his face became solemn, and he said, "Sister-in-law, can you talk about it alone, the younger brother has something to say." ”

His words made everyone stunned.

Although there is no great defense for men and women in this era, it is still inappropriate for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law to get along alone, and Gu Tianya suddenly made such a request, which is strictly speaking, a faux pas.

Fortunately, Zheng Guanyin smiled slightly, and suddenly said, "I also happen to have something to tell you." ”

The eldest grandson, Princess Bing Xue was smart, and directly stretched out her hand to pull the Yang family, and said with a smile: "Let's go to Xiuning first, and just give her your swaddling clothes." ”

Yang is also not a stupid girl, and nodded happily very cooperatively.

Xiaoqing bowed to Gu Tianya and Zheng Guanyin, turned around and left with the two princesses first.

Gu Tianya watched their backs from afar, and did not turn his head until he couldn't see them, then his face became even more solemn, and he suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the village, looking at it, he was actually going to a secluded place.

Zheng Guanyin was slightly stunned, and after a little hesitation, he raised his heels.

Gu Tianya walked all the way, and in a blink of an eye, outside the head of the village, it was the big river, which was already frozen at this time, and it was difficult to hide people within fifty steps of this place due to its wide field of vision, and the cold wind was howling on the riverside, so few people came.

Great for conversation.

Zheng Guanyin is a woman like a hollow valley orchid, and she has vaguely guessed Gu Tianya's intentions in her heart, but she still spoke softly, pretending not to know: "My brother-in-law specially called me here, could it be that there are some secrets to say?" ”

Gu Tianya did not shy away from it, and nodded directly at her.

But his tone was clearly a little nervous, and there was even some fear, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke with difficulty: "Before talking about things, I want to ask something first, sister-in-law, can you tell me, how is my eldest brother's health recently?" ”

Zheng Guanyin's face was obviously pale, and her eyes were faintly foggy, but she insisted on smiling softly, and said softly: "He is so strong, he will not fall down easily, the doctor diagnosed that he has three years to live, and he insisted on living for three years, so even if he often coughs up blood, he has always laughed at life, he told me that he is not afraid of ......"

Gu Tianya roared suddenly, as if he didn't want to listen to this, but his eyes widened angrily: "What I'm asking is how is his health recently?" ”

This is simply an extremely rude move, not at all like Gu Tianya, who is calm and abnormal.

Zheng Guanyin was obviously stunned on the spot, and subconsciously replied: "He coughs up blood and coughs every day, but he insists on taking medicine, and his cough is not ...... hard."

"It's fine!"

Gu Tianya let out a long breath.

Only then did he bow his hand and say apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while just now, and I yelled at you." ”

Zheng Guanyin smiled mildly and said, "I am very grateful that you can be like this, which shows that you care about your eldest brother very much, and you deserve to be the good brother-in-law he admires the most." ”

Gu Tianya slowly exhaled a breath, as if he was deaf to these praises, but suddenly changed the topic, and said without a head: "The soldiers of the post station, every six months, the northernmost one in Hebei will be transferred to the southernmost one, and the southernmost one in Hebei will be transferred to the westernmost one, and I, as the head of the post station, must also abide by this rule......"

Zheng Guanyin's pretty face was confused, and she couldn't figure out why he suddenly said this, but after all, she was smart and smart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "I understand, it turns out that you are for your eldest brother!" ”

"Not bad!"

Gu Tianya nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Half a year later, I will go to the southernmost part of Hebei, and in another half a year, I will go to the easternmost side. ”

Zheng Guanyin nodded again and again, and said, "And the southwest direction of Hebei Road is the closest place in Hebei to Chang'an. If you ride a horse at a rapid pace, it will take only three days to get there. ”

Gu Tianya said 'um', and said slowly: "I have already released the wind in advance, and soon everyone will know the transfer rules of the women's army, and I, as the post chief, should abide by the rules, I have been transferred six times in a row before I approached Chang'an, this matter has lasted for three years, no one can see through my intentions, sister-in-law, although you can see through, it is because I specially woke you up......"

Zheng Guanyin's tone became a little hurried, and he couldn't help but say: "You have worked hard, what is the meaning of the far-reaching layout?" Why approach Chang'an? ”

In fact, she already had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it directly, she was afraid that her guess was just a fantasy, which would make her even more disappointed.

But seeing Gu Tianya suddenly smiled, he looked at the frozen river in front of him, although his mouth was only soft, but it was like thunder in Zheng Guanyin's ears.

I only heard him say: "I found a person who looks the same as my eldest brother." ”

Then he said: "I have a sister, a Taoist stranger, she told me that my eldest brother doesn't have to die......"

Zheng Guanyin is so smart and icy, only these two sentences have heard countless implications.

But seeing the princess's delicate body trembling, she suddenly covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, and said, "Looking for someone to replace your eldest brother?" Swap him out secretly? Isn't it? Isn't it? Brother-in-law, you're not lying, are you? Everything you say is true, right? ”

Gu Tianya smiled, turned his head to look at her and said, "That's why I have to transfer six times in a row." ”
