Changhua County, Hedong, Tianbao was called Shizhou before the first year, here is west of the Yellow River, has always been the traffic artery to the west, according to the agreement of Cui and Pei to divide the east of the river, Changhua County belongs to the Cui family, but two years ago Pei Jun saw that the time was ripe, so he ordered the army to go south, occupied most of the land in Hedong, and only left the two counties of Shangdang and Gaoping to the Cui family, and Changhua County was naturally controlled by the Pei family.

According to the principle of family recommendation, the current Changhua County Thorn History is recommended and appointed by Pei Jun, the Thorn History is called Wang Dongyang, about forty years old, Qingzhi seven years Jinshi, originally Hebei Ye County Anyang County County Order, a year ago was appreciated by Pei Jun, step by step into the Thorn History, Xiangguo's appreciation made him grateful, since then conscientious as an official, dare not have the slightest carelessness.

At this moment, the assassin is sitting in a carriage and hurried to Dinghu County, which is located on the side of the Yellow River, he just returned from visiting relatives in his hometown yesterday, but got a bad news, these days, there are many families who move their families to the west of the river, the number is unknown, although the Tang Dynasty law stipulates that the people are not allowed to move without authorization, but in fact, the major families are also digging each other's corners, and the law of not allowing migration has also become a piece of paper, especially in the year of the catastrophe, many local officials only think that there are too many people eating on their land.

In June this year, many counties in Hedong were hit by locust plagues, and Changhua County was no exception, many families had escaped the Yellow River in June and July to make a living, but the disaster had already subsided, and now it was November, when the weather was the coldest, how could anyone cross the river?

Wang Dongyang was puzzled, and the county Sima who reported the matter refused to tell the truth, so he had to brave the cold wind and go to the Yellow River to inspect it in person.

Go without saying. The move of the family to the west was done by the people of Longyoulai, in the complete Fengxiang strategy. Bringing the family of Fengxiangjun from Changhua County to Longyou is an important part of it, and for this reason, Longyou has come up with extremely preferential conditions, not only can each household rent ten acres of government land, which can be returned to themselves after five years, and is exempt from taxes for three years, and there is also the most critical one. From the day they set foot on the land of Longyou, each family can get a subsidy of one liter of flour and 20 yuan a day until the wheat harvest in the coming year, and these conditions undoubtedly have a fatal attraction to the people of Hedong who are struggling to live after the disaster.

Of course, picking up the family of Fengxiang Army is just a subtext, and the official statement of Longyou is to help the people of Hedong survive the disaster. Thinking that Zhang Huan was from Hedong, the only trace of doubts among the people disappeared.

The landless peasants were bent on getting their own land and did not hesitate to go west, and there were also many people who missed their homeland, thinking that they would first avoid the disaster and then come back next year. Not only Changhua County, but also Pingyao and Fenyang also had people coming. The news even reached Taiyuan.

In the afternoon, Wang Jianshi drove into Dinghu County with more than 100 officials, and along the way he saw an endless stream of people rushing towards Dinghu County, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Dinghu County is close to the Yellow River, and a hundred steps away from the city gate, you can see the Yellow River like a jade belt, lying across the vast land. The river is frozen. This makes it very easy to cross the river, and you can walk directly from the ice to the opposite bank.

Now. The crossing of the Yellow River is still crowded with people, and more than 3,000 peasant households from all over the country are waiting for the final confirmation, and after receiving food and street signs, they can go on the road.

Hundreds of large tents have been set up at the ferry, nearly 1,000 soldiers are maintaining order, a long row of tables has been set up in front of the tents, more than 30 officials from Longyou are verifying the identity of the applicants, there have been more than a dozen long queues in front of the table, according to whether there are family members in the army to distinguish, dozens of soldiers are leading the endless stream of people, from time to time shouting to them: "There are people from the family who are in the army to come here." ”

The person in charge of this migration operation was Pei Mingyuan, and at this moment, an official led a family member of the Fengxiang Army to him. ，

"I am from Fangshan County, and my son is in the Fengxiang Army, and his name is Zhai Shilang." The old farmer had a simple smile on his face, and there was only so much information he knew.

But it's not easy to find the three words Zhai Shilang from the thick roster, maybe this Shiro is just a nickname, and his son changed his name to a big name after joining the army, and there is no way to check it correctly.

"Do you have a letter from him?" Pei Mingyuan still had a smile on his face, trying to narrow down the scope of the search, and reminded the old farmer with a word, he hurriedly took out a crumpled letter from his arms, handed it over, and said with a sincere smile: "There is only this one, and it was sent by someone last year." Pei Mingyuan took the letter, took a general look, and found the clue, the fifth battalion and the third team are positive, he immediately turned to the corresponding page on the roster, there is, the team is Zhai Dabiao, a native of Fangshan County, Changhua County, Hexi, and his father Zhai? Parenthesis: I don't know.

Pei Mingyuan glanced at the honest old man, he was followed by his wife, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, etc., and he also smiled plainly, so he picked up the pen and ticked Zhai Dabiao's name, closed the roster, took out an iron card from another box and handed it to him, and pointed to the tent behind him and said: "Take this iron card to the tent, someone will help you register, and then lead you to dinner, and finally set off with a group of other people." ”

The old man took the iron plate and left with his family with great gratitude, Pei Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he had already sent away 3,000 families of Fengxiangjun, far exceeding the target of 2,000 families set by the governor.

At this time, a soldier ran forward to report, "Pei Envoy, the assassin of Changhua County is here, and he wants to see the envoy by name." ”

Pei Mingyuan had been waiting for this person for a long time, he asked another official to replace him, stood up and smiled: "Bring him over." ”

After a while, the menacing Wang Thorn Shi strode up, he came all the way, and had already asked the real reason why the people went west, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and his first reaction was to report to Xiangguo, but before the report, he decided to negotiate with the people of Longyou first, so as to explain to Xiangguo.

"I am the history of Wang Thorn of Changhua County, please ask your Excellency your surname, what is your official position?" He saw that Pei Mingyuan was quite young, and his face couldn't help but show arrogance.

Pei Mingyuan arched his hand with a smile, "Sima under the right section of Xialong, surnamed Pei, is called Pei Mingyuan." ”

Pei Mingyuan, Wang Tingshi made a county order in Ye County, the Pei family's main territory, and was very familiar with the Pei family, he immediately thought of Pei Jundi's sons, and then thought about it, isn't Pei Mingyuan the fifth son of Pei Jun who travels thousands of miles and reads thousands of books? He seems to be an official in Longyou.

Wang Tingshi's face seemed to be noon after the rainstorm had stopped, and the clouds suddenly dissipated, revealing a bright smile, "It turned out to be Pei Gongzi, fortunately!" Fortunately! "My waist, which was originally straight, bent slightly.

"You're welcome!" Pei Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Wang Tingshi, please go to the big tent to talk." ”

"No need." Wang Tingshi looked back at the crowded scene, and couldn't help crying and said, "Pei Gongzi, you have migrated the population on such a large scale, how can I explain to Pei Xiangguo?" ”

Pei Mingyuan smiled slightly, "We are alleviating the post-disaster pressure for Hedong, it should be a good thing for Hedong, what's the difficulty?" Although Wang Tingshi went to report to Xiangguo, besides, I am afraid that Pei Xiangguo already knew about it. ”

"Pei Xiangguo knows?" Wang Tingshi's eyes showed a look of surprise, he suddenly came to his senses, and made such a big move, how could Pei Jun not know that no army had come to intervene until now, which meant that Xiangguo had acquiesced, but a full ten days had passed, and he did not write a report to the imperial court, and in the end, Xiangguo was using himself to open the knife, thinking of this, Wang Tingshi's back was suddenly drenched in cold sweat, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to Pei Mingyuan, and without saying a word, he ran away in a panic.

Pei Mingyuan looked at his back and walked away, smiled disdainfully, and turned back to the team, where a woman sweated profusely and squeezed forward and said to him: "Official, my husband is also in the army in Fengxiang. ”

Pei Mingyuan smiled gently, calmed her excited emotions and said, "Don't worry, you tell me, what is your husband's name?" ”

Just when the people were relocated on a large scale in Hedong, a major event broke out in the Fengxiang army, marching Sima Hanqing impeached the imperial court to impeach Li Mo two years ago to deceive the imperial court, indiscriminately arresting the people and pretending to be deserters to ask the court for credit, the news came out, and immediately caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, Fengxiang is the last force of the Cui family in Guanzhong, if even it is lost, then the Cui family will really be defeated.

Just when the ministers of the DPRK and China were discussing, Cui Yu, who had been silent about the situation in Hanzhong, finally jumped out, he denied that Li Mo had deceived the court, and accused Han Qing of impeaching the matter two years later, obviously with other plans, at the same time, Li Mo also wrote to the court, claiming that he was in the Fengxiang army at that time, and did not personally arrest him, and said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly, if there were really subordinates to conceal the truth, he would be severely punished.

Things seem to be developing in the direction of turning big things into small things and small things, but Pei Jun and the Queen Mother Cui Xiaofu coincidentally expressed their stance together, this matter is a serious matter of military discipline and cannot be tolerated, and it was decided to send Liao Hui in the imperial history to Fengxiang to investigate the matter.

For a while, the situation was strange, and hundreds of cavalry escorted the investigation to make the wind gallop like Fengxiang, and an ominous omen quietly shrouded the sky over Fengxiang County.
