Chapter 538: Secret Visit to Tenants
Liu Wannian said, "Master Pan, the matter of eliminating staff is intertwined and time-consuming. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut the ten-day period is the most important thing, we always have to raise the silver first......" Lord Pan listened, and waved his hand helplessly, "Lord Liu, then you can watch it!" ”
Gao Jun had just come out of Duanyuan County, Tuzhou, and he had just gone to Si'anping in this county.
More than a dozen young men in this township who had served in warehouses were still locked up in the county jail. When Gao Jun rode into the village, the families of the villagers involved in the village were planning to spread the money and make money to get people out. The women wept and cried, the sky fell, and the old people sighed.
They saw a handsome young man on a red horse and carrying a black knife coming in from outside the village, who seemed to be very interested in their affairs, "Tell me about it, maybe I can come up with an idea." ”
These people are just at a moment when they have no idea, and someone asks, "Who are you?" ”
Gao Jun said, "I have to listen to your affairs before I can decide whether to tell you my identity or not!" "People look at this person as dignified, and it doesn't look like he has any malice, he should always have some idea. So he told the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that the progress of autumn grain collection in Duanyuan County was slower than that of other counties, and the people of Si'anping went to the county warehouse to pay grain according to the amount of grain paid in previous years, but they were told that Tuzhou had a new task of raising money.
"They said that the rent was increased, and it was doubled all at once. Although we were not happy at the time, we did not say that we would not pay more. It was the warehouse servant who thought we didn't have enough food and asked us to push it back. ”
Gao Jun asked, "So what about fighting the cang, but is it true?" ”
Some of these people were dressed in fancy clothes, and some were dressed as Yiren, but they were very harmonious with each other, and they gossiped, "Why should we beat the official, if he doesn't beat us!" ”
Gao Jun didn't have time to ask more about the details, and there were many things about him. But he was sure of the words of these simple villagers. He said to the villagers, "I'll give you an idea, just three sentences. ”
When people asked what the three sentences were, Gao Jun said, "Don't pay more for rent, people can't do it, and don't be afraid." He reminded that it is unreasonable for the county to increase rent without the express text of the Chengdu government. You can not pay more, whoever the county wants to arrest and put in prison will follow him, they will not be punished if they change the regulations privately, and they will at least have a meal to eat inside. But as soon as you make a move, you will become a crowd of people, and even I will not be able to speak for you.
The villagers listened to his tone very well, and then thought about his words, and there was no lack of good intentions, so they asked Gao Jun's identity again. Gao Jun got on his horse and said to them, "We'll know when the time comes." ”
He left Si'anping and was in a hurry to go to Chezhou. According to common sense, he should go to Duanyuan County to clarify his identity and order Duanyuan County to stop collecting more grain, so that the matter on Tuzhou's side will be suppressed.
There are Wang Heng and Wang County Lieutenant who are temporarily pulled up in Rongjing County and controlled by people, and there will be no major problems for a while. And Li Mi didn't know where he was hiding, and he had to be on guard against his hidden arrows from time to time. Chezhou also asked him to rush over in person, it was really difficult to do such a bachelor's Qincha.
At this time, as soon as he came forward, Tu Zhou and Jiannan Dao knew their whereabouts in less than half a day. So, what will happen to the person who hides behind the secret letter?
It's always a scourge for such a person to stay, this time Jiannandao is just an "assistant", and sooner or later there will always be Jiannandao on top. But digging out this person is still quite interesting to Gao Jun.
Moreover, he is only one person at present, and before Li Daojue comes back, it is always inappropriate to rush to Duanyuan County, and there are many variables. Li Mi is in the dark, so he is not in a hurry to jump out, so why not secretly investigate the affairs of Chezhou again.
Entering Wenjin County, Chezhou, Gao Jun rode a charcoal fire in the mountains and mountains for a long time, but did not find this anti-Yong Qinggang Village. He didn't know what made Qinggang Village dare to make a rebellion.
The rent, adjustment, and mediocrity system is a precedent in the Tang Dynasty, and specifically Yong, refers to the public servants who go out into service, as long as they go out for 20 days a year, which is obligatory. In a year with a leap month, two more days are added for a total of twenty-two days. If there are those who are unwilling to serve, they can also send three feet of silk to serve on behalf of them every day, then twenty days is sixty feet, which is exactly one silk.
Gao Jun knew that in such a poor and remote country, it was not feasible to ask ordinary peasant families to produce silk, and they would always choose to contribute. So, how can there be an incident of resistance to mediocrity?
Finally, he saw a ragged beggar on the mountain road, and Gao Jun asked him about Qinggang Village. It could be seen that the beggar knew it, but he didn't tell him. Gao Jun took out a silver ingot and threw it in his hand, and the beggar hurriedly pointed to the opposite side of the mountain depression, "It's on the back of that cyan hill." ”
Gao Jun said, "Take off your clothes, give me the broken bowl and the broken hat, and the silver will be yours!" ”
The beggar's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you want me to change clothes with you?"
Gao Jun said, "Beautiful you! Such a large ingot of silver is not enough for you to eat and wear? If you don't take it off, I won't wait for you. The beggar hurriedly took off his shorts, took the only stick he had, and ran away with the silver.
Gao Jun pinched his nose, changed into a beggar's rotten clothes, and wrapped his robe and shirt and hung them on the saddle. Then he wrapped the black knife pillar with broken hemp pieces. Seeing that the master was dressed like this, Tanhuo stared at him with wide eyes, and seemed to be a little puzzled.
Gao Jun couldn't bear to ride it like this, so he led it around the hill, and sure enough, he saw a small mountain village. Gao Jun patted the charcoal fire on the head and asked it to stay in the woods outside the village, while he wiped the mountain soil on his face and carried the broken bowl into the village.
The people in the village are very good, Gao Jun only walked half of the village street, and the broken bowl was full, and he inquired about the old man's house that broke his leg outside the gate of the county government in Wenjin County as he walked. Someone pointed it out to him, wondering why the young beggar inquired about the family.
It was a woman about twenty years old who opened the door, and Gao Jun's eyes were red when she saw her, probably just crying. Gao Jun shook the broken bowl full of rice at her and said, "I'll pick up the bones." ”
This woman is the daughter-in-law of the old man with a broken leg, her husband has been arrested and taken to the county, and the injured in the family are crying bitterly. She was also in a hurry to go to the hospital, and she was brought into the hospital at that time.
The old man was lying on the sickbed, and the young beggar who came in touched the old man's calf very skillfully, and nodded, "The bones are quite good, but you need to eat more good ones." The woman next to her said in a crying voice. This eldest brother, my husband went to the county prison and needed silver, and my father-in-law spent a lot of money on his legs...... Where else is there ......?"
She saw the beggar reach into his arms and take out a gold ingot from the stirrup. Then he was stunned to see him untie the hemp pieces wrapped around the stick layer by layer, and it turned out that inside was a long black knife.
I saw him throw the gold ingots to the ground, and chop them a few times with a knife like knife tofu, and the gold ingots were broken into dices of different sizes. Listen to him, "It's not good to spend, it's always enough for the old man to raise ......."
The old man lay on the bed and saw that although the beggar had a dirty face, he stretched out his hand very cleanly. Seeing him throw out a piece of gold casually, and holding such a sword, you will know that he is a stranger.
Gao Jun asked, "As long as the old man tells the truth, he will resist mediocrity." (To be continued.) )
