Chapter 416: National Mobilization (4)

"Oh, Paris, are you going to leave me behind and go back to Troy?"

"No, Helen! I'm going back to Troy, but I'm going to take you with me! ”

β€œ**! Shameless! Stealing men! ”

"Adulterer, shameless! For the sake of women to bring disaster to their own country! ”

"Stone them to death!"

"That's right! Stone them to death! ”

At the end of the third month of the lunar calendar, the spring breeze warmed up, and in a township pavilion in Du County, southeast of Chang'an, a social drama was being staged.

Although after the Si Yan Captain's Mansion was abolished, Si Wencao was already the largest unit in the Ji Han government. But in any case, the performance organized by Si Wencao cannot cover the pavilion level. At this time, the performance here is completely a group of sons of families in Chang'an City - in today's words, they are ticket holders.

A big family, there are so many people in the family, and there are successful people who have joined the army. The next little is to take care of the family business. But there are always some guys who don't want to do anything and eat at home and wait to die. These people are the most troublesome hidden danger to public security for officials in various places.

Well, now, as soon as something like a drama comes out, this group of waste boys instantly found a new gadget: let's play it too! The female corner is like going to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to rent it. After the performance, you can also have a group smack to Helen......

However, in the end, they are from everyone, and they are embarrassed to perform in the big city. But in order to have a good time, let's go to the countryside.

It's a pity that the foolish man and foolish woman in the countryside are very easy to get into the play. Seeing Helen on the stage so sassy, Paris was so shameless. Instantly burst into anger, all kinds of mud, bricks and other thousands of arrows were fired, and this group of sons and brothers were beaten to the head and blooded.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, you fools! Do you know who I am? I am the ...... of the Jing Zhao Zhi clan Ouch! ”

"Whew! The old lady doesn't care who you are, if you are like those storytellers in the past, you can tell us the heroic deeds of Da Sima. Dare to play such a shameless thing here, are we really from Du County? Come on! Sisters, take down this group of pranksters for me, and then send them to the official! ”

"Oh, you fool, this is the latest drama in Chang'an! It's a script written by Da Sima himself! This son is kind enough to let you know for free, and you actually treat it like this. It's now, if it had been ...... before."

"What happened before? Can you just bully us before? The old lady told you, it's good for Da Sima to support us now, even if before, you ran to the pavilion to openly encourage women to steal men, and the old and young masters in the pavilion will not let you go! ”

"You, you~~ That's it, brothers, let's go!"

"Want to go? Did the old lady let you go? I said I was going to send you to the officials! ”

"Hahahaha~~~" Just when the people on both sides couldn't hold each other, a middle-aged man who was about eight feet tall, with three long beards under his chin, and a slightly red face, laughed heartily next to him. Beside him, there was also a boy about ten years old. Looking at the demeanor of this middle-aged man holding the boy, the two should be father and son. And behind the father and son, there are about thirty or fifty strong men with different costumes, but all of them are sturdy and restrained.

Obviously, this group of people was sitting with this group of village girls just now to watch the play, but they should have sat very scattered. The village girls thought it was someone from a neighboring village and didn't care. And now, when this group of people is standing together, the momentum is completely different.

This is, of course, Guan Yi, Guan Hui, his father and son, and their personal guards.

In January of this year, Liu Ling and Huangfu Yan gave birth to a boy and a girl to Guan Yi successively, and the number of people in the Guan family slowly increased again. Guan Yi, who has been an honest dad at home for more than two months, can be regarded as sneaking out to breathe at this time - who made him have a low status at home.

Since October last year, the whole country has been busy, farmers are busy completing the autumn harvest to enlist in the army, and merchants are busy settling various final payments to reduce the scale of their operationsβ€”a considerable number of men have been conscripted into the army. On the craftsman's side, there were not many soldiers to leave, but the weapons and armor of the army were not only a matter of the Wuyuan County Iron Works. Everyone has to work hard! As for the officials, they are not exhausted for the time being, but there are many who have fainted!

In this process, Da Sima suddenly felt that he had become a superfluous person: no matter which yamen he went to, although the chief officials and junior officials of each yamen were warmly received, there was a kind of impatience in this enthusiasm and respect: Leader, is the matter finished? When you're done, get out! There's so much to do here!

So, Da Sima took his second son and ran to the countryside. And then I saw this scene.

The aura of dozens of guards standing together was too powerful, and both sides were shocked by this.

"Where did the nobles come from? Why do you want to come to this pavilion? Shaoqing, or the who was full of old ladies with her waist crossed just now opened her mouth timidly.

"Ahem, this official is the county integrity envoy under the command of Chang Maotong, the great integrity envoy of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and he is ordered by the great integrity envoy to patrol the counties. Let's see what grievances the people have. Ahem, come on, come on, everyone sit, that, what's your name? ”

"Returning to the honest envoy, in the next Zhiyao. This, the incorruptible envoy, didn't oppress the good people just now. But some of us didn't draw our swords to fight back when we saw the blood. ”

"Hahaha~~ It's okay, the official has seen it. Indeed, there is no oppression of good people. Don't be nervous, sit, Jing Zhaozhi's family, Gaomen's surname, the family style is excellent. ”

After appeasing Zhiyao, Guan Yi turned his head: "This sister also sits, dare to ask what to call it?" ”

Although he was very fierce to Zhiyao just now, in the face of a person with a strong aura like Guan Yi, this sturdy peasant woman also became twisted: "This honest envoy, the concubine's husband's surname is Gu, and he is the eldest in the ranks. ”

"Huh? It turned out to be Gu's sister-in-law. He secretly took a deep breath in his heart: "What about Sister-in-law Gu's husband's family?" The official was sitting here watching the play just now, and found that the pavilion was dominated by old and weak women and children. Are all the men in the army? ”

"Not exactly." The woman looked at Guan Yi with a pleasant face, and her courage gradually grew: "This incorruptible envoy, we are here in Gujiating in Du County, and there are three hundred and fifty-six old and young masters in the whole pavilion. Sixty-one men between twenty and forty years of age. According to the imperial court's conscription order, our pavilion will send twenty people to join the army this time. These twenty people have all left, and among the remaining forty-one, there are two remnants of the army who were previously assigned to the house, and one sick seedling, these three people are incapacitated, and it is not possible to travel so far to watch the play. The remaining thirty-eight people, all working in the oil mill at this time, how can they have time to watch the play? ”

"Oh, yes, the rape flowers are ripe by this time. Well, how about this rape flower? ”

"Hey, this stuff is really good, and the oil output is high. Last year, we planted a little less, and the whole pavilion was not enough. This year, the pavilion chief is in charge, and arranged 30 acres of land to plant this, thinking that this year's oil is enough to eat. If you have a lot, you can sell some and get some pocket money. Hey, I said this honest envoy, you have a chance to meet Da Sima and that Li Daguan when you go back, but you have to thank you two for our people. In the past, the pigs in the pavilion were all purchased by the Fuxing Society, and the children ate less oil and water, and they had to eat a lot of food at a meal. Now with this vegetable oil, the faces of the children look a lot better. ”

"Hahaha, this official will convey it when he has a chance to go back. This, the men have all gone to squeeze oil, and you all come to see the play? ”

"Hey! Isn't this what this group of boys said? If you come to see the play, one person has two copper plates, so let's find some pocket money. ”

glanced at Zhiyao meaningfully, and Zhiyao's neck turned red: "Lian Envoy Rongyu, what I want to do is to attract the audience first, accumulate popularity, and then slowly ......"

"Hahaha, you're not wrong about that. That, sister-in-law Gu, there are twenty soldiers in the pavilion, have you received all this settling-in fee? ”

"I received it, and the county magistrate personally delivered it to each household, how could I not receive it. Hey, it's a pity that my son is a little younger, only twelve years old, otherwise he would have been sent to the army. 10,000 dollars! ”

"Ahem, this, sister-in-law, being a soldier is to fight, and fighting is to die."

"I know, I know, but how can I do it without fighting? If our Han doesn't fight, and then the Jin Kingdom or even Eastern Wu fights, our days will be sad! ”

"Huh." As soon as Guan Yi heard this, he became interested: "This sister-in-law, tell me, why is it not good for Jin Guo or Dongwu to call?" ”

"Don't you know? We have a storyteller every month to talk about the general trend of the world, listen to the concubine's husband, the people of the Jin Kingdom must cultivate more than 50 acres of land every year to pay taxes, otherwise they will have to pay the money. The people of Wu were even more miserable, they could only be attached to the family's manor as slaves, and they were killed if they were not careful. Like we are now, as long as we pay enough four stones of grain and this field tax, it will be counted. Although these days are still a little hard, as long as people are diligent, the family's food and clothing are always fine. ”

"So ......"

"So, our Han is better than Jin and Wu. You can't let Jin Wu call. Besides, if Da Sima hadn't helped us exterminate locusts and fight drought more than three years ago, we would all have starved to death! Now that Da Sima has something, don't we help and talk about it? Moreover, Mr. Storyteller said it well, where are we in Guanzhong? Old Qin people! Whether it is the First Emperor or the Gao Emperor, they all lead us Guanzhong people to dominate the world! Now Guan Da Sima is also going to take us Guanzhong people to dominate the world again! ”

"Hahahaha~~~ Sister-in-law's words are magnificent! Well, let me ask again, what grievances do you have to appeal in the pavilion recently? ”

"No, no! Lian Envoy, you also saw it just now, and they really didn't fight back. Not to mention that our county magistrate has to go around from the county office every once in a while, and our county's honest envoys often have to visit everywhere. ”

"Hmm......" Nodding with satisfaction, Guan Yi turned to Zhiyao and said, "This brother, the imperial court is very good to the people and has restrictions on the family, what do you think?" ”

"It's okay, Shangguan, this is not to say face to you. Now this is very good, the people have surplus money in their hands, they will buy and sell, and trading, although the court collects commercial taxes, but in the end, my family also makes money. In the past, what was the purpose of the forcible annexation of Qiu Tian Wenshe? Isn't it just for the money? Now that the money is more than before, and the people don't have much grievances, why not do it? ”

"Then if the official didn't say anything just now, you would have to be taken to the county office."

"Hey, what's the matter? When the county magistrate heard about the case, he didn't let us solve it on our own. I can't say it, these sisters-in-law injured us, and we have to pay for some soup and medicine. ”

……

On the way back, Guan Hui, who had been very calm and had no laughter just now, opened his mouth: "Congratulations to my father, child." ”

"Oh, where does the joy come from?"

"In "Zuo Biography", Cao Di said: "The public said: Although the prison of the small and the big cannot be investigated, it must be loved. Said to him: Loyal to the genus also. You can fight. Please follow the rules of war. Now the hearts of the people are in me, and there is no disadvantage! Therefore, the child congratulates his father! ”

"Hahaha~~ Good! Sure enough, my son saw the key. That's right, all aspects of the country are ready, and the father can send troops with peace of mind! ”
