Chapter 154: The First Battle with the Gentry

When these students were scolded and scolded by Luo Yan, Luo Yan turned his head and looked at the few gentry standing in front of the crowd. The unusual posture of the pen, the fun www.biquge.info and the pavilion, as well as the obviously delicate clothing materials, and even the arrogance on the face, and the few servants behind them who nodded and bowed to protect them, it was obvious that these were the squires who came to look for trouble.

Nodding at these people, Luo Yan said, "Since you have come to the door, let's come in and talk about it." After speaking, he ignored these people, turned around and walked to the back office.

Don't say that Luo Yan wants to turn his face with these people, just say that he is the county commander and give these guys a good face, isn't it just a shame for himself. No matter how powerful the squires are, in Luo Yan's eyes, there is always a way to rectify them. When it comes to playing with his brains, Luo Yan feels that he can't even compare to these people.

After hearing Luo Yan's words, the officials also vacated a road for these gentry to pass. A few servants still wanted to follow, but they were slapped in the face by the officials.

It's true that they are all envoys, but their identities are very different. The masters of these servants may still be a little awe-inspiring, after all, they are also local bigwigs. But today they should be asked to put all these servants in the county office, and tomorrow they will not be used. When, the county government will let the slaves enter casually.

Walking into the back office, pulling a passing official, Luo Yan ordered Chen Yuru to be called. Although Chen Yuru doesn't need to say anything about this matter, there must be someone to witness in front of these people. Otherwise, people will be suspected of making some transactions in private. Chen Yuru came quickly, Luo Yan just arrived at the place where the guests were meeting and ordered someone to make tea, and he came in.

"Lang Jun, I don't know if I want to come down, but what's the matter?" Chen Yuru asked.

"Well, a few gentry are here today, and you can follow and take a look. Whatever it is, you just look at it, no need to say anything. Also, their names, I don't want to ask, I think you know them all. Remember, and then write me a list to come up. In the future, I am not afraid of recognizing the wrong person. Luo Yan was a little murderous at this time.

If you dare to take someone to make such a fuss at the gate of the county government today, if you don't clean it up, you're sorry for your face.

When those gentry walked into the county office, they also discussed a few words with each other. Therefore, after Luo Yan explained the matter to Chen Yuru, these people carefully knocked on the door, and then walked in with Luo Yan's answer.

But fortunately, these people are not too stupid, and they also know that this is the county government, not their one-third of an acre. Therefore, I also put away the previous set of prestige and blessing, and stood respectfully. Just wait for Luo Yan to say something before he dares to sit down. After all, he and the others don't know Luo Yan very well, so they just started to give face to each other.

Just as the servant brought the tea in, Luo Yan asked these people to sit down first, and when the tea was poured and the servant left, Luo Yan got to the point. Since people have made trouble at their doorstep, Luo Yan can't put his posture too low. "How many people came, what are you doing?" Smiling like this, Luo Yan didn't make people feel alienated, and asked gently.

These people complained in their hearts, you don't know what is going on, you were still scolding those poor students just now, how did you come to us and you pretended to be confused.

No way, let's be honest. "Lang Jun, I waited for the unsuccessful son, and he was also expelled today. So he came cheekily and wanted to beg Lang Jun to raise his noble hand and let the child go once. ”

At this time, these people didn't know what Luo Yan's attitude was towards them. Therefore, such a question is actually asking Luo Yan to express his position. If Xiao Gui Cao followed, then this time it is estimated that Luo Yan wants to pinch them so as to establish prestige, and they just need to follow and make peace. But if Luo Yan wants to change his ways, then the next step is to fight.

After taking a sip of water, Luo Yan asked, "Have you ever seen the scrolls of your sons?" Do you know why I expelled only a few of them? ”

Obviously, these people all drove their sons out as soon as they heard that the county school had driven them out. I happened to hear my son say that he was going to the county government to make trouble again, so he hurriedly got together to discuss it and ran over. In their hearts, only their sons and daughters were expelled, because it meant that the new county order was going to attack them. This matter was discussed by many of them together as early as the day before yesterday.

As for the reason, hehe, there was no reason before, and there shouldn't be now.

So he shook his head at the time and said, "I don't know." ”

originally thought that Luo Yan would continue to talk to them for a few words, but who would have thought that Luo Yan would not give face at all and scolded: "Since you don't know, then what are you waiting to make a fuss." What do you think of the county school as one? occupies the position of a poor scholar, you should read some books well, what is the county school? ”

By this time, the squires were still unwilling, Xu Song was like this not long ago. I and others first soften their attitudes, give some benefits, and then come with some hard ones, there is nothing that can't be done. So at this time, he still pleaded: "Please also ask Lang Jun to give me another chance to wait for my son." Presumably, after this time, they will restrain a lot and go to study with peace of mind. ”

Sigh: "There is no turning back when you start work." The first day I came, I learned that the atmosphere of the county school was too bad. You must have also inquired about what I did before. Educating in one place and being made like this, is it the work of my generation of scholars? ”

Hearing Luo Yan's response, the gentry exchanged colors with each other, and one of the representatives came out and said: "Luo County Order, then the conditions set by us and Xu County Order ...... at the beginning."

This time, they came not only to talk about the expulsion of their sons. There is also a task to explore the transaction behind this matter and whether Luo Yan recognizes it or not. The implication of this sentence is to ask whether Luo Yan has come up now, and whether the transaction he made with Xu Song before has been counted.

Luo Yan was a little annoyed in his heart, these people really had to explain their words.

"I know what you mean. What I want to tell you now is that Your Majesty asked me to come here to do the county order of all the people of Lantian, not the county order of a few people and a few families. ”

Luo Yan's casual words made the faces of these gentlemen change. This meaning is already very obvious, Luo Yan doesn't want to take Xu Song's plate and wants to break the previous rules. This is terrible, no matter what the background is, if he and others want to defeat a county commander, this difficulty is still quite large. If you don't get it right, the price you pay is too great, and you can still say it well.

"Lang Jun, otherwise, let's discuss it again. After all, I have some skills in the county. Presumably, whether it is taxation or forced labor in the future, it will be able to help Langjun a lot. Why make a decision in such a hurry. Those mud legs, none of them are easy to get along with. On weekdays, we are in charge of Lang Jun instead of Lang Jun, and it also saves you your trouble. ”

The words of these people gradually began to harden. In the final analysis, it is the previous set, if the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, and if it can be solved with words, why bother to fight to the death. What's more, these people don't believe that Luo Yan has the courage to completely tear his face with them and have a hard time.

After hearing this, Luo Yan's face suddenly changed.

The county order has so many rights, and if you agree to the conditions of these people, it is basically no different from a puppet who gives orders. Moreover, while these people reached out to Luo Yan for power, they also did not mean to blackmail Luo Yan. What has some ability in the county, and what mud legs are not easy to get along with.

The implication is that if you don't agree, then I will use my skills to resist you. If you don't do it, you will instigate the villagers to make trouble, and you are not afraid that you will not comply.

In Gyeonggi, the most feared thing for the prefectural magistrates is not that they will not be able to pay taxes. The big thing about the tax is that at most, the government will be inferior when the officials are evaluated, and as long as there is an improvement in a year, they will not lose their official positions or anything, and at most they will affect their promotions.

The civil uprising is the most terrible thing, if it is not handled well, the chaotic people will impact Chang'an. By then, the effects would have been enough to kill several times. And Lantian is such a very special place, forty miles away from Chang'an, walk faster and one person can reach Chang'an in one day. Moreover, every road is blocked, and there is not a single pass at all, and there is no mountain that can stop people.

Luo Yan knew that these people were going to be hard.

"I guess you don't know who is down there, so I'll tell you about it now." For no reason, Luo Yan said such a sentence.

"I once worked as a pen clerk in the palace of the king of Qin, and I also walked as usual in the Taiji Palace. The prince was beaten and scolded in the Hongwen Pavilion, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty was summoned in Wanshou County. On the banks of the Weishui River, His Majesty will pass Jieli, and the soldiers in Jingzhou City have killed Diao Min. ”

In order to avoid secrecy, Luo Yan has not yet compiled the affairs of Xuanwumen, Rao is so, and these squires are also a little ugly. It was Chen Yuru, who was sitting and listening quietly, and he was also shocked at this moment. Many things about Luo Yan, their level is not very clear. But now it sounds like this person is definitely not as simple as a founding county prince on the surface.

It was okay to beat and scold the prince's son, and he called the crown prince of the dynasty, and he was not punished for a felony. What courage and grace this is.

What's more, this county magistrate, who is thin and weak, has actually led soldiers to kill people.

It is not for nothing that scholars walk the world with swords, but there are still a few who really kill people. What's more, listening to Luo Yan's meaning, when he was in the army, his status was not low. Ordinary literati can lead soldiers to kill people in the army, just kidding.

Seeing that these people's faces were a little unnatural, Luo Yan glanced at them contemptuously and continued: "Now you see me holding this bald pen dipped in ink in my hand, it's just that you are still at peace. In my heart, you are still good citizens who abide by the law. However, once I find out what good you have done, what you are waiting to see is the blood-dripping horizontal knife in my hand. Go back and tell some people, don't think that you have a little power in your hands, and just think about it. This Lantian is the world of Datang, and it abides by the laws of Datang. ”

After speaking, regardless of the expressions of these people, Luo Yan got up and walked out. (To be continued.) )
