At dawn on the second day, after breakfast, according to yesterday's arrangement, everyone went their separate ways.

Shen Jin and Li Hu went out of the city to the east, out of the Shili Pavilion in the east, waiting for the Xuanwei army to come to Yiwu. Li Hu selected the generals on behalf of the front division of the palace, and Shen Jin knew the generals and colonels of the Xuanwei Army, and the two of them together could temporarily represent the selection of the general camp and bring the whole army directly to Suxi for resettlement, without having to enter the city to disturb the people's livelihood.

Yang Congyi took Lu You and Qingchen to Yiwu County Ya, to build a camp for electing generals here, without the support of the local yamen and the people, it is impossible to build it in a short time.

When he came to the yamen to show his identity and show his seal, the official did not dare to slack off, and directly invited the three of them into the living room to settle down, and at the same time, the official hurriedly went to the county order.

Not long after, I saw an official in Tsing Yi who was about 50 years old hurriedly walking into the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saluted Yang Congyi and Lu You, who were present, and shouted: "Yu Yu, the county commander of Yiwu County, has seen two adults!" ”

Lu You hurriedly got up and saluted back, and said, "In front of the lower hall, the general camp joined the army Lu You, and I saw Lord Yu. ”

Yang Congyi got up and said with a smile: "Yu County's order is good." ”

Yiwu County Ling Yu Yu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, two adults, please sit down!" ”

"Please." Yang Congyi said politely, and sat down first.

Lu You and Yu Yuqian gave in again and again, and in the end, the elders came first, the guests and hosts came first, and Lu You followed.

The three of them exchanged a few words, and after using the tea, Yu Yu asked very carefully: "I don't know what the two adults are doing in the small county?" ”

Yang Congyi was silent, and Lu You replied: "Lord Yu, this is Lord Yang, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace's Division, who came to Wuzhou to build a general selection camp and select young generals for the Great Song Dynasty army, and the site of the general camp was selected in Yiwu County, which has a very good geographical location. I came here today to visit Lord Yu, and I hope that Lord Yu will provide some convenience for the construction of the general camp. ”

Yu Yu hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, the lower officials will definitely do their best to help." ”

However, as soon as the conversation changed, he sighed and said: "Yiwu is a small county, the population is not large, the wealth is not abundant, I am afraid that I can't help the front secretary of the palace too much, if there is something to do, I hope the two adults will bear with me!" ”

As soon as Lu You heard this, he was suddenly a little speechless, and when he heard the meaning of Yu County's order, he seemed to have the intention of shirking, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.

Yang Congyi saw this, and immediately said: "Yu County Order, the imperial court has invested a lot of money in the construction of the election camp, all the money and grain have been allocated by the imperial court, and it will not add any burden to Yiwu County and even the entire Wuzhou. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then explained: "Don't say anything else, just say that the taxes collected by the county government every year, you have to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to send to the Jinhua treasury, and now in Yiwu camp to build the election camp, the county government collected the taxes directly to the election camp, we issued the Jinhua Prefecture government to the household department money and grain allocation voucher, the county government can directly write off the account, so how much manpower and financial resources can be saved." The manpower saved can be invested in the construction of the election camp, whether it is to work in the camp or to cut wood and collect bamboo, the election camp will not let the people work in vain, and the court will allocate the money that should be given. The people have earned money, the county government has saved its strength, and Yu County has made the year-end assessment a good word. There are so many benefits to assisting in the construction of the election camp, if Yu County Ling does not want to seize this opportunity, it will be the same for us to go to Dongyang County to build a camp, but these benefits will go to Dongyang County. ”

After listing the visible benefits of assisting in the construction of the camp, he did not forget to move out of the alternative plan to force the other party to see what he said.

When Lu You heard Dongyang County, his face moved, Yang Congyi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't ask.

After listening to Yang Congyi's explanation, Yu Yu immediately made up his mind.

Since it was ordered by the imperial court, and the front secretary of the palace was connected to the state government, what can he do with a small county order, and there are many benefits, but there are no benefits, and he can't refuse.

So Yu Yu immediately replied: "Lord Yang is too worried, he can build a camp in Yiwu to elect generals, and the officials can't ask for it, how can he let the good opportunity that falls from the sky be lost." My lord, please put it down, and the lower officials will do a good job of the errand assigned by the two adults wholeheartedly! ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Okay, since the Yu County Decree has said so, then the election camp will be built in Yiwu County." As for the construction address, we have already seen it before entering the city yesterday, and the Suxi area twenty miles north of the city is good, and we are building a camp there, what does Yu County Ling think? ”

Yu Yu immediately replied: "My lord, Suxi Town has a large population, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to build a camp there, right?" How are the people there settled? ”

Yang Congyi said: "There are a lot of people, and we will also consider this matter when we build the camp, and try to choose places where there are no people or small populations, but it is inevitable that some people will be classified into the camp area." If the people who are assigned to the camp are willing, they can go to the camp to work, and they will be paid a certain amount of money every day, and their houses and land will be requisitioned by the camp for compensation, that is, they will be given a certain amount of money to buy their houses and fields, and the people who work in the camp will be concentrated in the camp, and the people who do not want to be in the camp will be coordinated and resettled by the county government. With such an arrangement, Yu Xianling thought that there were still difficulties? ”

Yu Yu thought about it, and after thinking clearly, he replied: "Since the imperial court is willing to pay for things, then there is room for negotiation in this matter." The lower officials will summon the local squires and patriarchs to come to the yamen to discuss this matter, and if the two lords can promise them in person, it should be much easier. ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Then there is a Laoyu County Order, and money is not a problem." ”

Then he continued: "But where the specific site is, I have to wait for me to see it in person, and when it is determined, I will tell you, and it will not be too late to gather relevant personnel at that time." ”

"Okay, the lower officials are waiting for the news of the adults." Yu Yu responded immediately.

In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to expropriate land, because it was all private land, and land was the most valuable wealth, a place where the whole family lived for generations, and no one would want to leave if it were not for the irresistible calamity, even if the place where they lived was extremely poor.

For the current Yang Congyi, what can be solved with money is not a problem at all, the key is that the people's land may not be solved with money, which is a headache, so he must go and see it in person.

But before that, he should communicate with Yu Xianling, and he should be asked to assist in handling it in advance, after all, as a parent official, he must be authoritative among the people, as long as he sincerely assists, he will definitely be able to play his role in the process of selecting the general camp.

"Yu County Order, in addition to the camp site, there are many specific errands that need your assistance, and then Lu Senjun will discuss with you specifically, I want to go first, and I have to go to Suxi again." After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he got up.

Yu Yu hurriedly got up and said, "My lord, let's go with the adults." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "No, I'll just go by myself." Counsel your affairs well, and do not have to send them away. ”

"Yes, sir." Yu Yu wanted to show something, but when she saw that the other party's tone was firm, she dispelled the idea of accompanying her.

"Adults pay attention to safety on the road, go early and return early." Lu You got up to send him off.

"Good. It's up to you to call the shots. After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the living room with Qingchen and went directly out of the county office.

After sending Yang Congyi away, Lu You and Yu Yu turned around and sat down.

I only heard Lu You say: "Lord Yu, the site of the camp has not been specifically selected, let's discuss the matter of grain and grass first, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, although the camp has not yet started construction, and the army has not yet entered Yiwu, but the grain and grass must be prepared first." I want to know how much grain is stored in the warehouse of Yiwu County at the moment? ”

Yu Yu was silent for a moment, as if he had organized his language, before he said: "Yiwu is a small county, there is not much arable land, and there are more than 2,000 stones of grain in the warehouse, I don't know if it is enough?" ”

As soon as Lu You heard this, he suddenly had a question in his heart, and immediately asked: "Lord Yu, Lu is also half a Wuzhou person, and he lived in Dongyang County, Lingxian County for many years when he was a child, and it is not the first time he has come to Yiwu. Yiwu is not a small county, how much arable land there is, how much fertile land, I still know a little. Moreover, Wuzhou rice is harvested twice a year, and the middle of July should be not long after the early rice harvest, just this season of rice, Yiwu County's tax revenue is more than 10,000 stones, how can adults say that the warehouse has only more than 2,000 stones? ”

Hearing Lu You's words, Yu Yu was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Originally, he saw that this army was not very old, like a person who had just entered the officialdom, and he wanted to report less about the storehouse and stock some grain, and allocate less money for the past, so that when the general camp was in urgent need of food, he could get some benefits from it, but he didn't want the other party to be a local who knew the roots.

In desperation, Yu Yu had to cough a few times, and hurriedly explained: "Don't hide that Lu joined the army, the grain in the county warehouse is indeed only more than 2,000 stone now. In fact, although the early rice has been harvested, due to the limited manpower of the county government, part of the field tax that should be collected has not yet had time to be collected. According to the past, the summer tax will generally be collected before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now it is the middle of July, and there is still a month limit, and when all the taxes are collected, it is expected to have more than 5,000 stones. Joining the army said that the tax was 10,000 stones, but Yiwu County could not do it with only one season of early rice, and if it was said that 10,000 stones of grain were collected a year, it could barely be reached. ”

Lu You knew that what the other party said was untrue, but he was not an official of the imperial court, so it was impossible for him to really investigate, so he said: "Since the early rice has been harvested, the field tax that should be collected should be collected as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, right?" Now the general camp is set up in Yiwu, and the army is expected to exceed 20,000 people, and it will not end until the end of the year. ”

Yu Yu seemed to be still thinking about something, and did not immediately reply to Lu You.
