After talking to Huangfu, Zheng Sheng did not find any suspicions. Although it may be that he was aware of Zheng Sheng's identity during these days in Wanquan Town, so he hid himself. However, Zheng Sheng prefers to believe that this guy's remarks about the death of the country are pure nonsense.

What is the character of this person, he still wants to observe for a while.

The convoy then returned.

Wanquan Town seems to have returned to the time before going to Anlu. Only those who died cannot come back.

A total of fourteen people died in the Tiger Guard Battalion, and all of them were elites above the rank of captain. These vacancies need to be filled below.

After this actual battle, he had already decided to expand the Tiger Guard Battalion again at the end of the year, increasing the number to three hundred.

In addition, the caravan escort also performed very well this time. Although those guards are selected elites, their combat effectiveness is not below that of ordinary state and county soldiers.

However, the Zheng family's caravan guards are a bit mixed, and the elite ones are those people, and the bad ones are just eating mixed rice.

And the total number of people is also quite large, there are more than 500 people - mainly since the beginning of this year, after the yellow silk thieves frantically looted the Zheng family, Zheng Wen recruited a large number of new guards in order to protect himself. Moreover, only about half of the guards who have been trained in the Tiger Guard camp camp.

After the yellow silk thief died out, such a large amount of force could not be retained. Zheng Wen discussed with the Nanyang County Guard that the Zheng clan could only retain a maximum of three hundred people.

Zheng Sheng decided to train them as a tiger guard camp.

Thus, before the war began, he had a standing force of six hundred men. Once the war comes, he can be regarded as having a little power to protect himself. Then, with these people as the backbone, it should be possible to quickly expand the army to the size of thousands.

As for the situation of more than 10,000 people, Zheng Sheng can't think about it that far for the time being.

Time flies, and half a month and a half pass in a hurry. One day in mid-August, Wang Sui suddenly came to him.

"Zheng Shizi, the funeral period of my county is coming to an end, and the imperial court plans to recruit him as an official. However, he did not want to enter the court. Shizi, can you go and persuade him? ”

Zheng Sheng said helplessly: "You still don't know the temper of your county father?" If he is not willing, who can persuade him? ”

"The words of the prince, the county prince is still willing to listen." Wang Suidao.

Zheng Sheng hesitated.

At the end of last year, the county magistrate shirked his intentions and refused to enter the court. More than half a year has passed, and the county prince is still reluctant to enter the court. If such an attitude offends people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the court in the future, and he can only live here in this life! It's not good for you, for me, for everyone! Wang Sui cried with a sad face.

Zheng Sheng nodded slowly, "I haven't been to Jugu for nearly ten days, right?" It's really time to visit the county magistrate again. ”

Zheng Sheng and Wang Sui went out together, all the way north, and soon arrived at Jugu.

At this time, Sun Wenxuan was walking out.

"Zheng Shizi." After she greeted Zheng Sheng, she looked at Zheng Sheng with a strange expression.

Wang Sui said in surprise: "Sun Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sun Wenxuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Zheng Shizi is really talented and knowledgeable, and even the matter of women giving birth to children is very clear. ”

Wang Sui also turned his head to look at him in shock.

Zheng Sheng coughed: "It's not as dirty as you think." If you want, when they're done, it's okay to take a textbook for you to take a closer look at. ”

"Okay." Wang Suidao.

"Sun Niang is going to Mrs. Han again?" Zheng Sheng turned around and asked Sun Wenxuan again.

"yes." Sun Wenxuan said with a smile.

Zheng Sheng watched her ride away.

In the past few years, Sima Xin has been mourned in Jugu. The original princess was close to the maid and was assigned to Sima Xin as a concubine by the princess on her deathbed. As a result, she also stayed in Wanquan Town.

She is one of the few women here who is very close to Mrs. Han. These two women originally had very different fates, and they didn't know when they met, probably they were very close to each other. Over the past few years, they have become very good friends. The two of them have few other friends in Wanquan Town, and probably Liu Wei'er is also another.

Therefore, Liu Wei'er asked Mrs. Han to teach the new course, and Sun Niang quickly learned about it.

Kikuya. Zheng Sheng walked into Sima Xin's funeral room, looking at his withered face, Zheng Sheng couldn't help sighing in his heart: "County duke, I'm here......"

……

Zheng Sheng walked out, looked at Wang Sui's eyes full of hope, and shook his head.

"Alas!" Wang Sui sighed helplessly.

"Your county father, in the past three years of mourning, he has not eaten any meat, he has been vegetarian and clean every day, and his body is very weak. He is asked to enter Beijing immediately after the mourning period, I am afraid that his body will collapse immediately. Let him recuperate for a while longer. If he wants to open it, he will naturally plan to go to Luoyang. ”

Zheng Sheng returned to his provincial residence, only to find that the emperor had not seen him for several days had come to see him.

"Brother Huangfu, do you have something?" Zheng Sheng asked in surprise.

Huangfu took out a thin book from his arms, "Zheng Shizi is talented." I heard you're looking for someone to teach this class? Me! ”

Zheng Sheng looked at him carefully, "Brother Huangfu is not going to teach Zhou Yihe a trick class now, is it too burdensome to add another course?" ”

"I'm not tired!"

Zheng Sheng thought that with Master Qiu here, Huangfu couldn't be too qualified, "Okay then." ”

Huangfu left in high spirits.

Subsequently, Ren Ju came in with a nervous face: "Shizi, Jingzhou Hu Cao Zuo Xiahou Guan has arrived with a team of state soldiers. ”

Zheng Sheng was stunned: "Hu Cao Zuo? What is he here for? ”

He said that he had come to check the private households and private fields in Wanquan Town. He brought with him an official document from the assassin and asked us to cooperate with him in checking the ownership of all the fields in Wanquan Town. ”

Zheng Sheng smiled: "Then let him check." We're not afraid of him coming to investigate! ”

Ren Ji said worriedly: "Having said that, but Xiahou Guan is menacing, and I am worried that Shi Chong's methods are more than that. ”

"You deal with him first. If he wants to make an inventory of the households, you will go with him. You can even send someone to Shunyang, find the officials of Shunyang Hucao, and show them all the Toda deeds in Wanquan Town. ”

"Yes." Ren turned around and hurried away.

"It's still here." Zheng Sheng muttered that both Sima Xian and Yang Jia had passed him on that Shi Chong might use the farmland of Wanquan Town against him again. By August, his people had arrived.

Zheng Sheng was thinking about something, and someone came in again.

"Shizi, Bo Shangzhun, the lord of Jingzhou, took people to Seventeen Liqiu, and showed the document and said: The state government suspects that we have concealed our true income and underpaid the city rent. Ask us to show the real transaction ledger and check the tax account. Zheng Yun said with some panic - he is now the chief of Seventeen Liqiu. But when encountering such a situation, it is inevitable to panic.

Zheng Sheng got up and asked, "Su Zhi, is there a mistake in the city rent we pay to the state capital every year?" ”

"No, two and a half percent of the city rent has never been underpaid." Zheng Yun replied.

"Then what are you afraid of! The body is not afraid of the shadow slanted! Let them check! Zheng Shengdao.

Zheng Yun nodded and turned to leave.

Zheng Sheng muttered: "Conspiracy, robbery and looting will not succeed. Have you started to use your power to suppress me? Shi Chong, if I were really a landlord and profiteer, I would have been pinched by you. But I'm not. ”

"If you only have these means, you will be a complete failure!"
