Chapter 334: The ghost will not work

The generals didn't have much to eat, thinking that the sky was about to be separated, Xiao Kai, Shen Lindong, Hu Li, and Zu Gongmao sighed for a long time, but they were helpless. If the court was unfair to them, these four people also jumped up and scolded and provoked, but the court transferred them away, which is a normal transfer of military generals, but those who don't want to rebel can only accept this errand, after all, they are soldiers of the Holy Han, and soldiers have carried out orders since ancient times.

It was Hu Li, who spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said, "Lao Tzu can see through them, they are all raised by a group of bitches." ”

The rest of the crowd smiled bitterly and raised their glasses to toast, and after Zhang Xiaowu and Imperial Envoy Ji clinked glasses, the two of them drank it all. Wu Song smiled and asked, "Lord Ji, how do you feel about coming to Saibei again?" ”

Imperial Envoy Ji smiled: "I feel much safer this time. ”

Everyone laughed, the Inuyi army retreated, naturally it was much safer, and this season's envoy would also be a sycophant.

After taking a drink, Imperial Envoy Ji continued to raise his glass and said, "Four adults, Ji is here to congratulate you on your prosperous official road in the future." ”

Xiao Kai and Shen Lindong raised their glasses, Zu Gongmao shook his head, but also raised his glass, but Hu Li said: "The eldest husband should endure humiliation and bear the burden, and heroes have been sharpened since ancient times." ”

"What do you endure humiliation?" Ruan Qingwen said, "The Ministry of War trusts you and others, why didn't you ask me to go to the Central Plains to be an official?" ”

Hu Li said unhappily: "I think some people don't like us, his grandmother's bear!" ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "Why, you are a young child, and everyone has to coax you?" ”

Xiao Kai smiled: "Our old Hu just hasn't grown up. ”

Hu Li raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine, this amount of wine stunned the imperial envoy Ji, he couldn't help but say: "Don't be depressed, Lord Hu, in fact, the future may not be a bad thing, this official road is long." ”

Hu Lidao: "I know it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing, I just hope we don't die outside, Guanlu?" Where did the official road come from? I said, guys, what I'm afraid of right now is someone stabbing us in the back. You see, we defeated Inuyi, what did we get? They actually demolished it in pieces, as if we were going to rebel......"

Zhang Xiaowu slapped the table and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Hu Li was silent, took another sip of wine, and Ruan Qingwen said with a smile: "The people of the Han Dynasty, how can they have the intention of rebellion, and they are not those traitors in Yuezhou." Our border army is alone in the north, if it is not loyal to the Holy Han, how many people can hold on? ”

Xiao Kai said: "As soon as Lao Hu gets drunk, it's like this, don't be surprised by Imperial Envoy Ji." ”

Imperial Envoy Ji smiled faintly and said, "I know that you are depressed in your hearts, you have defeated Inuyi, kept Mucheng, and curbed the plague. But there is always an excuse for others to find trouble with you. When I passed through the Two Wolves Pass, I found that the two Wolves Pass had been burning corpses all day, and I knew that the plague was terrible. If I were you, I would have chosen this way, there is nothing to say, you are just trying to protect yourself. ”

Ruan Qingwen smiled and said: "If the Manchu Dynasty is the imperial envoy of Ji, how can we want to end up like this." ”

Zhang Xiaowu changed the topic and asked: "Like Imperial Envoy Ji, why is he repeatedly excluded in the imperial study?" ”

Ji Yucai said depressedly: "Origin? ”

"Origin?"

"Yes, I was born in a commoner, and although I am free to read a lot, I have always been a commoner." Imperial Envoy Ji said helplessly, "I have no title inheritance, and the thirty royal officials in the imperial study, except for me, are all children of the scholar clan, and they will definitely inherit the title of the scholar clan in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was curious: "The identity of this scholar clan is so important?" ”

Ji Imperial Envoy said: "It is very important, I heard that General Zhang was born in a martial arts family, and he still doesn't know the laws of our Holy Han, the land of the Holy Han is the emperor's land, which is rewarded to the people, and the land rent is collected from the people, and this land rent is called grain tax." The scholars were close ministers of the emperor and had been loyal to the emperor for generations, so in order to reward the scholars, the land of the scholars was allowed without paying a penny of grain. ”

"The nobles did not have to pay a field tax, but the commoners had to pay a field tax, but it was one of them. He is from the Shi clan, but his father is alive, and he has not yet inherited the title, so he naturally understands the before and after, Wu Song said: "In addition, the Shi clan is easy to pass when doing business, and the checkpoints will not be checked and exploited too much, if it is an ordinary person, those officers and soldiers have to peel off a layer of skin." Therefore, the people have to rely on the scholars to do things, otherwise it will be difficult to live. ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "Business is secondary, the most important thing is grain, why Jiangnan rebelled, it is not because of the many Shi people in the north, and there are many rich households in Jiangnan, because there are too many Shi people, resulting in the inability to collect grain in various parts of the north, and can only increase the grain tax in the south." During the Holy Han Empire, it was said that the grain tax in Jiangnan was 12 cents, that is, 1/12 of the grain tax. Later, the grain tax in Jiangnan was increased to tithes, and then to the eighty-one tax. Five years ago, I heard that the grain tax in Jiangnan had even reached 70 or even 80 percent, how could the people not rebel? ”

Zhang Xiaowu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "In this way, this scholar clan has become a stubborn disease of the country? ”

"yes." Ruan Qingwen said, "But the imperial family must rely on the support of the scholar clan to govern the country, so it is difficult to obtain the status of the scholar clan, every time the scholar is crowned, the emperor must be personally sealed, and each emperor can only canonize about twenty scholars at most, so this scholar identity is even more precious and difficult to obtain." ”

When it came to the identity of the Shi clan, Imperial Envoy Ji thought of the Hou of Hejian, and he said in a low voice: "If it weren't for one thing, General Zhang would be the Hou Sir clan today." ”

Everyone was surprised, how precious the status of the marquis is, there are only more than a hundred marquis in the entire empire, and Murong Yan of the two wolf passes is also a marquis, and the score is bigger than anyone else.

Hu Li asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what kind of marquis is it, and what happened?" ”

Imperial Envoy Ji poured himself a glass of wine, and said slowly: "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry. ”

"You're not in a hurry, but you're in a hurry." Hu Li shouted.

Only then did the imperial envoy laugh dryly: "Let's have a drink first, and then I'll talk to you clearly." Everyone hurriedly drank it, and then the imperial envoy Ji said: "There are regulations in the Ministry of War, and those who open up the territory and expand the territory will be crowned marquis." General Zhang led the remnants of the Qinglong Army to form a ghost guard, and won successive victories over the Inuyi tribes, saving the face of the empire. ”

"A book?"

"Yes, a book."

"What book?"

"Ghost Will Go!"

Ji Imperial Envoy escaped a book from his arms, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is "Ghost General", circulated in Beijing, up to ninety-nine down to just go to see or hear this book, in Longdu, the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu Zhang Xianzhi, is the number one hero of the Holy Han. General Zhang, if you are the number one hero of the Holy Han, what is Dushanbo? What is Prime Minister Zhang Cheng? What is the emperor? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu Song and Ruan Qingwen spoke almost in unison.

Imperial Envoy Ji smiled indifferently and said, "After reading this book, you will know that I am talking nonsense, or someone is framing you." ”
