Volume 1 Xiling Evil Young Chapter 57 The Squire's Responsibility
The teacher was kind, and Hou Shigui couldn't have raised his eyebrows coldly:
"Students should remember what their teachers teach."
Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, was silent for a while, and then said again:
"This time the city was cast in parallel with the southern expedition, and many people in the court resigned in anger, and His Majesty has sent a letter to invite me to return to Beijing in the near future.
The only one I can't rest assured about is you...... You are gifted, you can wake up what others can't, you are really a genius, if you polish it well in the future, you will definitely do something.
It's just your nature...... Changping, in the future, don't be impulsive, think twice, remember, remember. ”
Hou Shigui thought that the teacher was here to warn him not to get too close to the inner prison, but he didn't think about it, but he came to say goodbye.
Although they have only been together for a few months, he has been with Liu Xuan longer than anyone else.
Hearing that the teacher was leaving, I was also a little reluctant in my heart:
"The teacher will wait a few days before leaving, and the students will have something to give."
After leaving Liu Xuan, Hou Shigui rushed to the residence of the craftsman in Fuzhong and instructed:
"Everyone put down everything in their hands and make one thing with all their might!"
For three days in a row, Hou Shigui ate and lived in the craftsman's residence, hurrying and hurrying, so that the thing could be completed.
On this day, someone came to report that Zheng Yang and Liu Xuan had resigned, and Hou Shigui hurriedly drove a newly made four-wheeled carriage to the outside of the house:
"Bumpy all the way, although this carriage has a strange shape, it can be done on the official road, it can reduce a lot of bumps, the students have a little heart, and I hope the teacher will accept it."
"I have a heart."
Liu Xuan also knew that he was old and couldn't stand the bumps.
Although the shape of this carriage is not in line with etiquette, it is a piece of the student's mind after all, and as for the things that can reduce the bumps, he does not take it to heart.
I have been in a carriage all my life, and even if there are bumps, I have long been accustomed to it.
The road is like life, how can it be a smooth road.
The three of them were polite, and seeing that it was not early, Liu Xuan went on the road.
As soon as the carriage started, he felt that the carriage was running on the official road, and there were no bumps.
It's like walking on the ground!
This is the first time in my life that I have sat in such a smooth carriage...... If this student succeeds in the future, he may become a master craftsman.
After sending Liu Xuan and Zheng Yang away, Hou Shigui returned to the mansion as usual.
A few days later, someone from the county government came, saying that the quota for conscription in the government had been divided, and asked each family to go to the county government to discuss.
On the Hou Mansion's side, because Hou Wenbo served in the county government, he could not represent the Hou family in order to avoid suspicion.
The Hou family is a woman and a child, so Hou Shigui can only go on behalf of the Hou Mansion.
Today's county government is no longer deserted.
Outside the ya, the cars and horses are bustling, and everyone is huddled to walk towards the ya, and the river is endless, and it is very lively.
It's just that people's faces are not very good-looking.
took Bao Ji and the others to the hall, and just before they sat down, someone came forward to say hello.
In the past few days, each family has more or less rented out acres of land to the Hou Mansion, which can be regarded as tied together.
So a few days ago, they were still enemies, and at this moment, they all hope that Hou Shigui can go to their house to drink a cup of tea and chat some elegance.
Only the new patriarch of the Zhang family, sitting alone in the corner, cold, desolate and desolate.
After a while, Xie Jing stared at a pair of dark eyes and walked out.
When he saw Hou Shigui, his heart jumped, and he didn't dare to raise his head to look at him.
But let the people be exempted from salutation, and then said:
"Presumably you also know that Your Majesty wants to build a fortified city outside the Saiwai, and the envoy from Beijing has arrived in Tianhe, which means that if you want to repair the city before the next autumn wind, you need at least 100,000 conscripts.
Xiling out of ......"
Xie Jingyang sprinkled and talked about all the county conscripts sent by Tianhe.
Xiling needs to pay 50,000 conscripts.
Tianhe is the capital city, and it has the most nature, with 20,000 yuan.
As for the second most...... It's the foundation.
There were 8,000 of them!
Although Linben is in the rear, it has more people than other counties, so it should be more.
But in other counties, the most is only 2,000 conscripts, and there are four times more on the Linben side!
As soon as the county honor's voice fell, everyone knew that this was someone on the other side of Tianhe who was looking for trouble with Linben.
As for why?
Many people squinted at Hou Shigui.
"Don't be disturbed, I am at the junction of Linben and the Central Plains, Hu'er has buckled the border several times, and only once has he killed Linben, and he should be more out.
Moreover, this conscription will last for less than a year, and after a year, all families will return. ”
Xie Jing saw that everyone was talking about it, so he started to be a peacemaker.
"Since the county has spoken, and the city is also about our comfort, we can't say anything more."
"What Zhou Lao said is, how much will the big guy come out of after discussing it? After all, we are all role models, and we can't afford to be less. ”
How do these squires know such righteousness?
Hou Shigui was puzzled for a while, but he also knew that Linben County was allocated a quota of 8,000 people this time, all because of himself.
That day, Hefu Jun didn't deal with himself, and when he met a foreigner who didn't deal with him even more, he didn't let Linben County's 50,000 yuan go out to count them as scruples.
In this way, then my Hou Mansion can't go out less.
As soon as Hou Shigui made a decision, he heard Zhou Lao, who was the first to speak, say with a righteous face:
"In this case, in order to resist Hu, it is the great righteousness, and my Zhou family is duty-bound and willing to go out of conscription...... Ten people!! ”
The word ten people spoke loudly and generously, as if he had cut off a piece of his heart.
"Old Zhou is so courageous, although my Lin is not as good as the Zhou family, my Lin family will not fall into the hands of others, I will be eight people!!"
"Good !!"
There was another round of applause:
"My Tan family also has eight people!"
"Courageous!"
"There are five people from my iron family!!"
Hou Shigui was stunned to look at the pride and ambition of these family gentry, and applauded.
Eight? Ten people? On weekdays, there are more than these people who carry the sedan chair for them, plus the accompanying servants.
What's even more weird is that these people, including Na Xie Jing, have intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Hou Mansion.
After all, now Hou Shigui is a celebrity around him, and the Hou Mansion is not out of the house, and they also applaud and applaud, and they will not say anything else.
The crowd scraped together, and there were hundreds of people.
Then Xie Jing nodded and said:
And the remaining seven thousand and nine hundred were to be shared among the people of the county.
Since you are leading by example, those people will definitely participate enthusiastically! Fifteen days later, the conscription departed! ”
Hearing this, Hou Shigui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't spit out a word.
Tianhe is full of hatred, if the Hou Mansion sends someone out, I am afraid that he will never come back in this life.
I can't let others die in order to make up for the guilt in my heart, that's what a beast does.
But this time, the temporary book was allocated 8,000 places, all because of himself......
Out of the fortress and casting the city, it is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness is the end of burying the bones in a foreign land, and I can't watch it all happen.
But even if you have a good conscience, the consequences in your brain will not make you feel better:
"Of these 8,000 people, all of them are out of my Hou Mansion."
As soon as Hou Shigui's words fell, someone applauded the slippery whisker and patted the horse:
"Good!! Hou Gongzi is bold enough! There were eight of them! ”
"He is worthy of being a good son recognized by His Majesty, and he is responsible!"
