Chapter 139: The Kindness of the Palace

Steward Wang arched his hand and said, "The contemptible people are here to bring food to General Li." According to the general's request, it was one percent, a total of two hundred and sixty stones. The general also knew that there was little rain this year, and it was all up to the tenants to carry water for irrigation, and the harvest was not good. I have already put the grain in Qilizhai, please General Li to check it, if there is no problem, please ask General Li to give the contemptible a certificate, and the contemptible person will go back to the prince to pay the business. ”

Li Yan looked at Wang Guan in surprise, although he didn't want to do it for nothing, he didn't want much. He said that he wanted a 10% harvest, but it was just a sky-high asking price, at most, he could ask for a half achievement. I didn't expect that Wang didn't make a counteroffer this week, what is the situation?

"Steward Wang," Li Yan asked thoughtfully, "In addition to letting Li protect Zhuang Tian's thoughtfulness, does the prince have any other instructions?" ”

Steward Wang replied: "This is not true. The prince said that he wanted General Li's soldiers to be fierce and fierce, so as to defend the township and serve the court. If you don't let the soldiers under the general eat enough, isn't that just talking but not practicing? The prince still has heard of the general's achievements, and the general has won all the battles against the thieves and won a lot, which is really a rare brave general. The prince hopes that the general can train more soldiers to ensure the safety of the party. As for asking for merit and reward for the general, the court has regulations, and the prince can't help it, so he has to give the general some rice grain. ”

Li Yan: This is even more strange. Since the palace knows the rules of the imperial court and can't privately marry officials, it has no intention of wanting the "Qingjun side" (starting from Zhu Di, the "Qingjun side" has become an excuse for the vassal kings to rebel), why should they still focus on forming themselves? But he can't ask openly, so he can take it first, and then talk about it later when he has questions.

"Li will accept the grain," Li Yan arched his hand and said: "The love of the prince, Li will also remember it." ”

Steward Wang nodded and said, "Since General Li has received this grain and rice, I believe that General Li will definitely protect the grange industry in the palace." Recently, many displaced people have come from the south, and I hope that General Li will restrain them. Also, it is said that Zuo Shaobao's troops are stationed in Taikang, so General Li is also asked to be prepared. ”

Zuo Liangyu's troops did not loot once or twice, it was famous. Although he hasn't robbed the property of the palace yet, but when the rebels come, where will there be time to ask whose property it is? Just grab it and talk about it. For these arrogant soldiers, the imperial court did not have too many ways.

Li Yan assured: "Steward Wang can rest assured, since Li has received the grain from the palace, then Li will naturally protect the integrity of the palace's grange." ”

Zhang Yi went out for a while, and after coming in, he nodded to Li Yan. Li Yan knew that this was checked by Qilizhai, and there was no problem. So I went to the desk and wrote a receipt to Steward Wang. said: "Steward Wang, this is a receipt, please keep it." ”

Steward Wang took it and looked at it carefully, and there were all the things received, dates, and names. So after drying the ink, I carefully put it away.

After Steward Wang left, Wu Niang came to Li Yan again with a small burden. She came often, and Li Yan had told her not to report it, so it was as unimpeded as entering her own home.

At this time, Li Yan was eating and saw Wu Niang coming in, so he invited casually: "Have you eaten?" Let's eat together. ”

Wu Niang shook her head, hugged her burden and said carefully, "I'm leaving." ”

Li Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks, frowned, and said, "Where to go?" ”

"I don't know." Wu Niang said nervously: "The third chief manager has seen me, and they will send someone to arrest me back." I'd better leave first, I can't stay here. ”

"Steward Wang, do you know?"

Wu Niang replied: "Yes, he is the third chief manager in the palace, I have seen it a few times." ”

"But Steward Wang didn't mention anything about you." Li Yan said: "You don't have to worry, I have the final say here, even if they come to arrest you, I don't agree, they don't dare to mess around." ”

Wu Niang said in disbelief: "I have inquired clearly, although they call you 'general', but you are just a general." A post in the palace, the governor has to obey orders, what can you do with one hand? ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Don't believe it. Today, Steward Wang came over to send me 'protection money'. One percent of the harvest in the fields of Qixian County. ”

"The palace will give you, that, what 'protection money'?!" Wu Niang asked with wide eyes in surprise.

Li Yan smiled smugly: "Not only did I give 'protection money', but a few days ago, the palace also sent me something to apologize." and silver and gold, and silk, and living creatures such as chickens, ducks, and sheep. I asked you to be the bookkeeper, and that's what you do. I'm a boss, yes, but definitely the best. Hahaha! ”

Wu Niang finally sat down and said relaxedly: "Fortunately, I don't have to leave for the time being, I don't even know where to go." ”

Li Yan quickly finished eating a little noodles in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a towel, and then said, "I asked the kitchen to cook new dishes for you, you wait a while." I'm going to take a break first, and I'll have something to do in a while. ”

Wu Niang looked at the table, it was just a big bowl of noodles and two plates of dishes. She only thought about running away in the morning, so she didn't bother to eat, and she was hungry at this time. So he nodded and said, "You go, I'll just wait." ”

In the afternoon, when Li Yan arrived at the homeless shelter in the south, a large number of homeless people had gathered here. They came here with their families because they wanted to have a stable life.

At this time, Li Yan's soldiers also increased, and he was no longer as young and strong as before, and he also began to have requirements for physical conditions.

Doctor Wu and Dr. He sat behind the square table and gave the young men a pulse.

"This can't be done," Dr. Wu said to the sergeant next to him after finishing his pulse: "There is a disease in the lungs, so it is not appropriate to be tired." ”

The sergeant took the young man back to his family and told him about the situation. Fortunately, there was more than one young man in this family, and another young man was immediately sent out, and ten acres of land were more important to them than anything else.

Li Yan came to the side of Dr. Wu and Dr. He, and said, "It's hard work for two gentlemen." ”

The two stood up and saluted back: "The general is polite." ”

Li Yan said: "Two gentlemen, please continue, don't delay too much time." ”

Doctor Wu reminded: "General, there are not many medicinal materials in our pharmacy, please General can add some." ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Please Mr. make the list, and I will send someone to purchase it as soon as possible." ”

Doctor Wu nodded, and then sat down again and gave the young men in line a pulse.

Li Yan walked among the homeless people, saw that the people were dirty, and smelled a strange smell from the crowd. Some people are still sitting on the ground, intently grasping the lice, and then throwing them into their mouths, crackling and biting and eating.

He instructed Li Mou: "Arrange a village for them as soon as possible, and then let them bathe and wash their clothes." It's mandatory! If you don't want to, get out! There are so many of us, if there is an epidemic, it is not a joke. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Li Mu agreed.
