Chapter 24 The landlord's family has no surplus food

Zhao Ruixue cried with rain, and turned her back to Guan Shanyue, "Xianggong, you are patronizing your majesty, have you ever thought that Xue'er would be afraid of you?" How did Xue'er tell her husband before leaving, can't you not be as impulsive as a child when you encounter something? ”

Guan Shanyue hurriedly hugged Zhao Ruixue in her arms, "Okay, okay, learn without crying, I am blessed with a great life, and I can't stand the injury." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you don't know about me, feelings have always been in front of reason, when the situation is critical, I will think so much. Hey, I rushed out as soon as my head was hot. ”

Guan Shanyue immediately tried her best, while beating Zhao Ruixue's legs and loosening her shoulders, she comforted and assured her all kinds of comforts, and Xiao Nizi, who had only been coaxed for a while, didn't cry so much.

Zhao Ruixue cried fiercely in Guan Shanyue's arms, forgave Guan Shanyue and forgave herself, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xue'er doesn't care, I will never part with Xianggong again, and Xianggong will follow Xue'er there when he goes to go in the future, maybe Xue'er will be able to block the knife for Xianggong at that time." ”

Listening to Xiao Nizi's angry words, Guan Shanyue felt angry and funny, and held Zhao Ruixue's face, "Bah, what kind of stupid thing does Xiao Nizi say, every day you die, you don't have a child for my father-in-law." ”

Zhao Ruixue gently slapped Guan Shanyue's chest a few times, carefully checked to make sure that he was not injured, and then broke into tears and said with a smile: "Xianggong, how are you like a child, the meal is ready, go and eat." ”

The yurt where Guan Shanyue lives is like a lamp alone in the open field, and there is a burst of laughter from the book listener outside, and a sweet wind blows against the withered yellow grass.

Zhao Ruixue and Guan Shanyue lay side by side on the haystack at the door, lying on their arms and watching the stars.

"Xianggong, you see that this star in the sky of Yan Acropolis is the same as the star in our hometown, it is also so bright!" Xiao Nizi whispered in Guan Shanyue's ear, as if she had discovered some big secret.

Guan Shanyue gently bit the grass root in her mouth, looking at the stars in the sky, "Xue'er, can we be like the stars in the sky, not moving for thousands of years, and always together?" ”

Zhao Ruixue then looked at Guan Shanyue's dark face lovingly, and said without thinking: "Yes!" After speaking, he arched into Guan Shanyue's arms like a kitten.

Guan Shanyue hugged the soft and boneless Zhao Ruixue, and stroked Xiao Nizi's hair with her other hand, "Xue'er, have you seen the three stars in the sky that are connected together like belts?" It's called Orion, and I remember the old saying that "the three stars are due south for the New Year", and the stars are going to point to the south. ”

Zhao Ruixue pursed her lips and stared at her big flickering eyes, "Well, then it's going to be the New Year." ”

The next day, Wei Zhongxian's yurt.

Guan Shanyue raised the chess pieces in his hand high, raised her eyebrows at Wei Liangqing, and smiled wickedly, "Brother Wei looks, you are the Feixiang Branch, I can checkmate you within three steps, if you don't slow down this game of chess, you will definitely lose." ”

Wei Zhongxian's face was incredible, he had just taken dozens of steps at the beginning, why did he have to lose?

"Oh, no, I remember that my cart was still on my riverside, why did it end up on your horse's feet?"

Guan Shanyue suddenly covered her stomach and said "oops", Wei Zhongxian hurriedly looked up with a gloating face, "Go, how about this game even if it's a draw?" ”

Wei Liangqing took advantage of Wei Zhongxian's inattention and secretly moved his cannon to the side.

Guan Shanyue grinned and waved her hand again and again, "It's okay, it's okay, it's probably just a stuffy fart, just release it later." Continuing to play chess, I vaulted the general. ”

Wei Zhongxian dragged his chin and carefully studied the countermeasures, and suddenly patted his head, "By the way, I just took care of playing chess with you kid, and I almost forgot about business." You only receive one stone of grain for two acres of land, how many soldiers can you raise? In the future, if the shelves are up, how will you support those officials under your hands, who will serve you if you have no money? And the most important point, the ancestral training of our Ming Taizu is that the county officials do not go to the countryside for nothing, and now how can there be a squire in our Daning Division, they are just some farmers who have lost their land, how will you collect grain next year? ”

Guan Shanyue shook her head casually, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Wei is Father-in-law Wei, and he is so concerned about this matter of scraping the ground, haha!" ”

Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes, "You little bastard don't talk nonsense, the matter of scraping the ground has been turned over, and now we have changed our ways." Let's get serious, looking at your kid's careless appearance, did you kid already pay attention to it in his heart? ”

Guan Shanyue glanced at Wei Zhongxian meaningfully, "You old boy, you are simply a roundworm in my stomach, as long as I lift my butt, you will know what kind of shit I pull." ”

Wei Zhongxian's face was disgusted, he pinched his nose and slapped it in the air with his hand a few times, "Little bastard, you were very happy in front of the people that day, and all the good people were treated by you." I'll tell you that I don't have much money in my hand, and I can't get it out even if I want to. ”

Guan Shanyue raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, I won't touch your private money for the elderly." Since we are now outcasts, we must have the consciousness of abandonments, and the court will not take us to play, so we will play with ourselves. These people can be said to come from all over the world, since there is no system, then a hundred households are organized into a village, and each village is selected according to the contribution to the Daning Dusi. Fifty villages are one township, and a township chief is set up, and people who have contributed to the Daning Division are also selected. Further up the county, let's pick up the ready-made ones and replace them with the Acropolis' sphere of influence, and the ones that are too small will be two in one. But there is one thing that for the sake of law and order and to prevent sabotage, all personnel must be registered, after all, these people are the foundation of our Daning Division. ”

Wei Zhongxian took the chess pieces in his hand and fell into deep thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You kid, Chicken Thief, these people who have contributed to the Daning Dusi must be people who support the Daning Dusi." I think these village chiefs will have to be rotated every few years, and if this continues, the control of the village will be in the hands of the capital, and the number of officials will be much smaller than that of Sene. But you have only solved the problem of collecting food, even if the number of officials is reduced, according to the current strength, we still can't support too many soldiers. ”

Guan Shanyue licked her tongue and nodded lightly, "According to the current strength, that is, self-preservation, it will definitely not be able to feed too many soldiers." By the way, Brother Wei, I see that the progress of the project of this Acropolis has been significantly accelerated, and now it is also starting in the dark? When do you think it'll be finished? ”

This Wei Zhongxian is quite a bit of a talent for management, he divided Mongolia and Han into two teams, a Mongolian brother is responsible for the east city, the Han brother is responsible for the west city, he also set a bonus of 1,000 taels, as long as it is under the premise of ensuring the quality of the project, the east and west two cities who completed the first 1,000 taels of the bonus will belong to whom.

This bonus greatly mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, both sides of the momentum are scrambling to be the first and refuse to fall behind, the progress of the project is rushing forward.

As soon as Guan Shanyue said about the construction of the city, Wei Zhongxian suddenly came to his senses, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Brother Guan, if it's not my brother, I'll brag to you, it will definitely be completed before the year." ”

Guan Shanyue withdrew the chess pieces in her hand as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight, with an incredible expression, "Brother Wei, are you saying that Duoyan Weicheng can be completed before the end of the year?" It's not a joke about such a big thing, it's related to the future of our Daning Division. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled and nodded, with a smug expression, "Who is kidding you, looking at the current progress, it will be completed before the end of the year." In the middle of the Acropolis is a rammed earth wall, and the outside is covered with bricks. When you went to Kuyi Island, we all worked in two shifts, day and night, and now more than 20,000 men, women, and children are all in battle, and the progress is very fast. ”

Guan Shanyue nodded happily and threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, "Damn, since I came to this Acropolis of Yan, I am worried about pretending to be my grandson everywhere, afraid of the surprise attack of Houjin, afraid of Lin Dan Khan, and afraid of the sneak attack of the Horqin Department...... Even the farthest away from us is afraid. Now it's okay, it's finally finished, I have to vent the evil anger in my heart, those small Mongolian tribes around me with 2,000 people dare to come to the door to call for the board, and they are against them. ”

Wei Zhongxian chuckled in his heart, his hand trembled and fell onto the chessboard, and he looked at Guan Shanyue with a frown, "It's going to be the New Year, what kind of moth do you kid come up with?" With our strength, we can protect ourselves, you don't want to go to war, do you? ”

Guan Shanyue shook her head with a wicked smile, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to face these hard bones." It's hard enough for the people to leave their hometowns, and I don't want to scrape the land for that little bit of land or anything. Brother Wei, you also know that the bulk of taxes is industry and commerce, and you have "operated" this matter on those gentry in Jiangnan, and as a senior, you have the best experience. ”

Wei Zhongxian came from the people, so he naturally knew who had the money, and restarted the industrial and commercial tax for the Liaodong war, which offended the gentry and Donglin Party members in Jiangnan thoroughly.

Thinking of the past, Wei Zhongxian's old face flushed, "Hey, who knew that after the Lord came to power, he would abolish the Jiangnan tax and relevy the three salaries for agriculture." Although the industrial and commercial tax is the big one, it takes time for industry and commerce to develop in a day and a half, the key is how do you get through this time? ”

Guan Shanyue's face turned into a yellow chrysanthemum, and she gave a thumbs up and pointed at herself, "Get through?" We're just going to have that hard time! The ancestors have already told us - distant friends and close attacks, and now the landlord's family has no surplus grain, why are so many fat sheep around, go and rob it! Or the small tribes around really think that we are good to our neighbors! I've already figured it out, our New Year's goods have to be on them, who let them be idle and don't let them attack our Duoyanwei. ”

"Huh!?" A thunderbolt of Wei Zhongxian's intuition exploded in his ears, "This...... This...... The so-called "fat sheep" in your mouth are also Mongolian tribes, let Daning Tieqi rob them, can this be done? ”

Guan Shanyue made a code word at Wei Liangqing, Wei Liangqing took the opportunity to steal one of Wei Zhongxian's pawns, and said confidently, "Brother Wei, you can remove the word "?", as long as the five-character mantra of "robbing money and robbing women" is in place, it will be settled immediately! Hey, Brother Wei, you lost this chess. ”

Wei Zhongxian's brows furrowed and he threw the chess pieces, with a helpless face, "Today's hand is so stinky that I lost three games in a row, no more, no more, let's go out and see the quality of the city." But you're becoming more and more like a lazy kid now, and you don't look like a knowledgeable reader at all. ”

After speaking, the three of them talked and laughed and walked towards the soon-to-be-completed Doyan Acropolis.
