Ni Yuanlu knew from the few pieces of paper handed to him by Sun Chengzong that Wang Zaijin's good friend was a monk in Ciyun Nunnery, so he thought of using this matter to make Wang Zaijin owe Sun Chengzong a favor. In order to avoid a bad ending after two years of leakage, Ni Yuanlu personally went to Ciyun Nunnery to find the monk Honggu Chen said the benefits, saying that Wang Zaijin had been jealous of his colleagues because of his bad temper and hoped that she could help, I thought it would take a lot of words, who knew that after the monk, Honggu took out the inkstone after listening to the reason, and said that the origin of this thing was now the end of this thing, so that people should not bother her with her cultivation, so that Ni Yuanlu has a new understanding of the brainwashing power of religion.

Sun Chengzong asked Ni Yuanlu to dig a pit and was recognized by Wang Zaijin, but Sun Chengzong achieved his goal, but Wang Zaijin was disheartened and had the idea of leaving the capital to guard Jizhen, Tianqi listened to Wang Zaijin's request and reason, thought about it for a while and said that the matter was suspended, and let Wang Zaijin take Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu from the Military Staff Office to go to the field for a field investigation first, and by the way, the ideas of practicing hammer soldiers, forming light cavalry, driving battalions with giant crossbows and spear throwers, and going to Liaodong to rob people were brought to the front line to listen to the meaning of Gao Di, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan and othersIf the soldiers at the front think it is feasible, they will start training immediately, do not hesitate to delay, and wait until next year when they have the money to promote the experience of Liaodong to Jizhen.

Fighting a war requires silver and food, as well as a stable internal environment, and the main goals now should be silver, food, and immigration.

On October 16 of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Fanjiazhuang, Minghu County, located in the south of the Yangtze River, is very lively today, because today is the 70th birthday of Fan Boss Fan. This Fan Lao's name is Fan Li, who once served as the prefect of Suzhou, and bought all the land in his hometown during his tenure, and returned to his hometown after leaving office and bought two surrounding villages. Many years ago, Governor Fan understood the truth of "planting seedlings early, threshing early, giving birth to a son early, and enjoying happiness early", so while being an official to make money, he married a little lady and gave birth to a son. Under the guidance of Mr. Fan, Fan Zhixian was willing to give a big gift because of his good popularity, and he became the left waiter of the household department in less than fifty, during which he ordered to study politics, manage salt affairs, supervise river workers, and would make money for being generous, and in the same year, his fellow villagers were full of praise for him, and his promotion was just around the corner. Because of Fan Shilang's high position, there were many celebrities and scholars who came to congratulate Mr. Fan at his birthday banquet, and there were forty tables in the top class table in the Zhuangzi, and the other two Zhuangzi also set up flowing water seats to entertain guests, and even the magistrate of the county took the time to come to congratulate Mr. Fan on his high birthday.

Near noon, Fan Fu, the chief housekeeper, asked his youngest son to take two Zhuang guests to set off firecrackers on the soaphorn tree outside the village, and waited for a while but did not hear the sound. At this moment, I saw Fan Fu's youngest son stumbling into the courtyard, shouting: "Master, it's not good, there are so many people with knives and guns who have surrounded Zhuangzi." ”

When Fan Li heard this, he asked in a deep voice: "Is it an officer or a robber?" Quickly close the door of the village and tell the village to take things and guard the gate first. ”

Fan Fu's youngest son said: "I don't know, I didn't see it clearly, anyway, there are many people and there are horseback riders." ”

Fan Fu said: "Master, do you want people to go down the river through the back door and sneak into the county to ask for help?" ”

Just when Fan Li was hesitating, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves coming to the gate of the village, and a voice shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and the former Suzhou prefect Fan Li has received the decree." ”

Fan Li listened to Zhuang Wai's shout, his face was cloudy, he sighed and waved his hand to let Zhuang Ding retreat to the back, and then asked the housekeeper Fan Fu to open the Zhuang door. After the Zhuang Gate was opened, I saw two rows of soldiers with spears coming in from the Zhuang Gate, and after entering, they ran separately along the walls on both sides to outflank them, and did not stand still until the people in front of them met in front of the hall. ”

At this time, eight red-clothed Jinyi guard officers came in from the door, walked through the compound to the front of the hall and turned around, and one of them shouted: "The holy decree has arrived." ”

After everyone in the courtyard knelt down, one person took out the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: After being reported by the department, the former Suzhou prefect Fan Li has repeatedly been favored by the emperor and does not want to repay the service. ”

After reading it, he handed it to Fan Li and said, "Master Fan, take the order." ”

After Fan Li received the decree tremblingly, the Jinyi guard officer who announced the decree shouted: "Come, give me a careful search inside and out." ”

At this time, the local county magistrate, who was kneeling next to Fan Li, stood up and shouted: "Wait, the holy decree says that the truth will be checked and then the house will be raided, do you have any evidence now?" ”

The leading Jinyi guard officer asked, "Who are you?" ”

The county order said: "The lower official is the county order of the county. ”

The Jinyi guard officer said: "There was no evidence, but I found out just now." ”

The prefectural order said, "Where is the evidence?" ”

The officer of Jinyiwei said: "Someone accused him of forcibly buying people's land, and also planted mulberry trees in the field where grain was planted for profit, and the official went to see it first, and the fields near the main road at the entrance of the village are all wheat fields, but the fields behind the village and the fields of the two villages far away from the main road are full of trees, so don't tell the official that the grain here grows from the trees." ”

The county magistrate was shocked and asked Fan Lidao: "Boss, is there anything wrong?" ”

Fan Li let out a long sigh and hung his head silently, and the Jinyi guard officer asked the county order: "Do you still have questions?" If not, leave immediately with the idle people, and don't hinder Jinyiwei's case. ”

Two hours later, in Donghu County, a hundred miles away from Fanjiazhuang, a sweaty young man rode a horse to the gate of a compound near the lake next to the county seat, dismounted and knocked on the door, handed the horse to the person who opened the door, ran all the way in without taking a breath, rushed into the second gate, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair in the courtyard while drinking tea while watching a few residual chrysanthemums. The middle-aged man glanced at the young man with a little dissatisfaction, probably complaining that the young man's recklessness disturbed the poetry he had cultivated with great difficulty, and said lightly: "I told you that I was in a panic since I was a child, what happened to me and I was sweating profusely?" In winter, sweating is easy to get sick. ”

The young man took a few breaths and said, "Uncle, something is wrong. ”

The middle-aged man said, "What's the big deal?" Is the sky falling, or is your kid impregnating another widow? ”

The young man said: "Uncle, it is inconvenient for you to be in mourning, let your nephew go to Fanjiazhuang in the neighboring county for you today to celebrate your birthday, and before you gave a gift, Fan's family had an accident and was raided by Jinyiwei." ”

The middle-aged man asked in surprise: "Is that Fan Shilang's hometown Jinyiwei mistaken?" What crime did they say they were guilty of? ”

The young man said: "It is said that it is a forced purchase of people's land, and there are also mulberry trees planted in the fields where grain is planted without permission." Uncle, what kind of law did you say about this consensual sale between the two parties? And you can't make your own decisions about what you want to plant in your own fields, what kind of thing is this? ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "You go back immediately after a hard trip, and tell your father to immediately find all the villagers to pull out the mulberry saplings in the field, go quickly!" ”

The young man said dissatisfiedly, "Why? It cost two thousand taels just to buy mulberry saplings. ”

The middle-aged man said with a gloomy face: "Although I am worried about the system at home, I have also received a few letters from Beijing and know something, so let's put it this way, the emperor suddenly hated the mulberry planter, whoever has a mulberry tree has to do a funeral, you just told your father that Jinyiwei will come to arrest people tomorrow and let him not delay, I have to go to the city." ”

The young man said, "I can't finish planting so many fields for a while." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Tell those farmers that they will pull it out overnight and add some straw to burn it together, and if they do a good job, they will return the money they bought from the field, and we will only need half of the silver." ”

After sending off the young man, the middle-aged man hurriedly took a carriage into the city, and came directly to the county government hall after entering the city. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang said: "Don't hide it from my brother, I begged my brother to help save my life because of the catastrophe that my brother is coming." ”

The county commander was surprised: "Why did Brother Nian say this? Your family is rich and you are an official in Beijing, besides, where will you cause trouble if you are guarding the system at home now? ”
