"Erlu, what do you see I brought you?" Bull's eye said happily, casually unveiled the wicker basket he brought, and the four little piglets in it were sleeping on their stomachs, Li Yu had a bitter look on his face, this old brother is really good at picking things, and the pigsty that the second girl dreamed of has been repaired.

The iron spear stabbed Li Yu: "This is a good thing, don't want to be lazy if you want to live." ”

Lao Wang's family put the food on the table, Li Yu saw that there was still a pot of meat, so he asked Meng Ke and Hadari where they went, Lao Wang's family said that Meng Ke ate first and took Hadari and the children in the yard, and Bolo of the opposite Belle's family went out to play, today Meng Ke went out of the city to beat two rabbits, and there was meat to eat, but the wine was stolen and drunk by that Belle.

Bull's eye said with a smile: "It's a good day to have meat to eat these days, don't think about wine, you can't buy it with money, this Lord Belle really doesn't treat himself as an outsider." ”

The three of them sat down and ate, Li Yu asked how the life of Bull's Eye was, Bull's Eye said happily, it must not be as good as when he could be a soldier, but there is no problem with having enough to eat, he has military merits in the past, in addition to the land when Ji Ding gave the field, there are also rewarded land, livestock and Aha, life is much better than other bannermen, those guys are really not full of food.

After Bullseye finished talking about himself, he said that Li Yu's Tuokesuo was not far from the village where he lived, and he had specially gone to see it, and the crops in the surrounding fields were not as good as Li Yu's crops, and it was estimated that Li Yu's Tuokesuo could produce more than a bucket of grain per acre. Li Yu was also happy, a few days ago, Lao Wang and Lao Zhao Tuo brought a message, saying that the crops in their fields were growing well, and at least fifty stone rice could be transported after the grain was harvested.

Bull's eye and Iron Spear glanced at each other, and Bull's Eye said: "Brother, this is not a good thing, my brother is about to talk to you about this, your family's set of rules is good for the Zhuang Ding, but others are not satisfied, you have to change the rules, or you will offend people." ”

Li Yu listened to the confusion, the bull's eye and the iron spear had to patiently explain to him, Dajin's tuokeso per village thirteen dings, seven cows, there are one hundred yuan of land, twenty yuan of harvest to the master, eighty yuan to the strong man for his own use, every quarter of the harvest down, first hand over to the master's share, the rest is distributed by the strong man, Liaodong is cold and frozen, only one season a year, the yield per mu is only seven or eight buckets, this year is drought and waterlogging, it is very good to have five buckets, but the masters can't manage these, and the grain paid by Zhuang Ding every season is from eighty to one hundred stonesIn the event of a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the grain production is reduced, and the Zhuang Ding does not work hard is a common thing, and some Zhuang Ding will flee with his family, so the grain output of the tow is lower than that of other fields, but the masters do not care, the grain that should be harvested will not be less, and Zhuang Ding will catch people on top of it when he runs away, and everyone is used to this. But as soon as Li Yu came, everyone's rules were broken, he just had enough to eat, and the rest were handed over to the Zhuang Ding to share, and even the food of the two families who were waiting for him was also in charge of it, so that the Zhuang Ding benefited greatly and worked hard, a few days ago the field was flooded, and other people's Zhuang Ding wanted to be lazy or run away, and his Zhuang Ding also followed the Zhuang head day and night in the field to drain the water and protect the crops, of course, the crops in his field grew well, and the yield was naturally higher than that of others, Li Yu himself was happy, but he didn't care about the life and death of others, People are afraid of comparison, seeing that Li Yu's Zhuang Ding is doing well, other people's Zhuang Ding is even more reluctant to work, and some even begin to have the courage to bargain with their masters, isn't this the opposite? The masters of Tieling's Tuokesuo hated Li Yu, and some discussed burning Li Yu's Zhuangzi, and some even planned to go to Shenyang to complain.

Bullseye said earnestly: "We all know that you are a good person, but you can't be a good person, you can't break the rules, your family has a small population and no burden, you can live with a little food, others can't, which family is not a lot of wives and children, the master has finally accumulated military merits and dragged the throne, all counting on a better life, why do you make everyone embarrassed as soon as you come, just take my brother and me, my family is also good to Ahha, with my food will not make them hungry, in winter it is cold they squeeze to my kang to sleep, but they want to share my food can't." , I also want to raise a large family. ”

Tie Spear nodded and said: "Erlu, you are wrong about this, now you are not burdened, it doesn't even matter how you and Meng Ke and Hadari want to toss, what if you have a wife, concubine, and a bunch of children in the future, you can still let Zhuang Ding share your grain?" ”

Li Yu was silent, he never thought about things too far, let alone cause trouble to everyone, it seems that this thing is too reckless, but it is impossible for him to watch his people starving. Li Yu sighed and said, "Two brothers, I did this recklessly, let me think about what to do." ”

Bull's eye nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'll help you watch your Zhuangzi, whoever wants to be rough has to ask me if I agree." ”

After the three of them finished eating, they chatted for a while, Bullseye and Iron Spear were about to leave, Li Yu was very unhappy, Bull's Eye legs were inconvenient, he had to live at home after walking so far, Bullseye resolutely refused, he wanted to live in Iron Spear, Bull's Eye said, although everyone is brothers, but Elu is an official after all, and you must not lose your face as a brother, such as Turai, everyone is a good brother when you go to the battlefield, but you have to put up a shelf when you return home, we can't let others laugh at you.

Li Yu couldn't keep the bull's eye, so he had to go out to give them a ride, Li Yu was very strange why Tulai didn't accompany the old Khan to Qinghe, Tie Spear whispered, he didn't know that most of the elite guards of the two yellow flags did not go to Qinghe this time, but the blue flag guards of Erbeile went a lot.

Bull's eye reminded Li Yu: "Brother, my brother will give you a word, this matter between the Great Khan and the Baylors, let's not get involved, you are the person next to the Great Khan, you have to be careful, you really can't find an excuse to hide for a few days, you can come if your brother is in Tieling." ”

The matter of Tuokeso is more of a headache, Li Yu hasn't figured out a way yet, Er Niu intervened, she has long wanted to catch the matter of Tuokeso in her own hands - our family's food should not be distributed to those Zhuang Ding, since it has caused public anger, then change the rules back, and we will collect as much as other people's families receive.

Li Yu didn't bother to correct her now, let her call her "our family" casually, but her face was ugly, and the second girl smiled and said: "You are the master with a good heart, after the grain is harvested, don't you give each family more rewards?" Our family's property is willing to reward some of the minions, and other families have nothing to say. ”

Li Yu nodded in agreement, and then Erniu put forward an idea, this year's Zhuangzi's grain not only can not be harvested less, but also to collect as much as possible, it really can't be done even if they borrow Zhuangding's share of grain first, anyway, they will not starve to death for a while and a half, the price of grain in the market will definitely rise sharply after the autumn, maybe it is a sky-high price, let's stare at a few Baylor Mansions, they sell grain, we also sell, and so on, the big yamen will definitely take action to stabilize the price of grain, at that time we will buy back the grain at a low price, this one out and one in, our family will make a sum of money for nothing.

Li Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and said solemnly: "Gege, this is my family, not your family, don't talk about my family all day long, I have to decide my family's affairs." ”

In August, the old Khan still stayed in Qinghe and did not come back, Da Beile took three Beile and four Beile to visit Qinghe, but was inexplicably driven back to Shenyang by Lao Khan, they came back and said that Lao Khan was tough, and everything he ate was fragrant, and he would come back in a few days, but the concubine was a little uneasy, and would burn incense and pray every day for the Khan to recover as soon as possible.

The concubine and Azig mother and son seem to be awkward during this time, after the old Khan went to Qinghe, Azig rarely came to see the concubine, and finally came to quarrel with each other, and when he left, he was also angry, Wu Bai, the minister who stayed in the palace, quietly told Li Yu that the concubine and Azig had long been at odds, and was driven out of the palace by the Great Khan when the concubine was in trouble, Azig this guy hated his mother and ruined his future, and he didn't want to help the family work and quarrel with the old lady, when the concubine was the most miserable, she took their three brothers alone and lived in the wooden house of Feiala, He washed and cooked by himself and waited for the three of them, until the concubine was reinstated, and Azig was kind to the concubine.

"What kind of thing did my own son do?" Wu Bai said with a disdainful face, he is a person with a white flag, he usually gets along well with Li Yu, and he has no scruples when he speaks, "This time is probably because the Twelfth Master wants to be the flag master, and he blames the old lady for not helping him speak, this big business is a lot of things." ”

Li Yu has been in Shenyang for more than half a year, and he has heard a lot about the Dajin Kingdom, he immediately knew what Wu Bai was talking about, the Great Khan is the owner of the two yellow flags, and the flag of the yellow flag, according to this rule, the successor Khan should also be in the flag of the yellow flag, and at the same time lead the two flags of Zhenghuang and Huang, Azig must know that he cannot succeed the Great Khan, and he is afraid that the main seat of the Yellow Flag that the Great Khan promised him will run away, so he urged the concubine to blow the pillow wind to the Great Khan, while the old man still has a breath, first do the flag owner position, But Lao Khan and the eldest concubine like Duoduo the most, for the sake of Duoduo in the future, they will not follow the old twelve, and the mother and son must be arguing about this matter.

Old Khan's family affairs have nothing to do with Li Yu, he is now a mess, he has also been to the den that Meng Ke chose outside the city, just waiting to find the opportunity for everyone to pat their butts and leave, now the headache is that the concubine has caught him too tightly, and he must go to the palace every day to respond, and all parts of the Jin country are strictly guarded, and it is difficult to move an inch without customs clearance documents, this opportunity has never appeared.

That night, it was Li Yu's turn to be on duty, and he was chatting with several yellow flag guards standing guard at the gate of the city - as soon as the old khan left, there were few people who came to the palace to do business, and they were on duty to chat with each other to pass the time, and suddenly a few war horses galloped from outside the north of the city, and the sound of horses' hooves was very rapid and loud in the night, and the knights on the horses had triangular yellow dragon flags with red edges on their backs, holding torches in their hands, and waved to them from afar.

It was his own person, Li Yu ran forward to help the knight led by him to restrain the horse, and the man rolled off the horse and whispered to Li Yu: "You go and prepare, you are going on a business trip soon." After saying that, he ran to the gate of the palace.

Li Yu asked: "Brother Asari, something happened to Qinghe?" Asari did not stop, only made a gesture to him, Li Yu, who had already been familiar with the guards, of course understood what Asari's hand pointed up and down, his face changed, beckoned to Ao Bai, who was idle and bored, and said in a low voice: "You come to my house and ask Meng Ke to send my iron armor and horse lance immediately, and then bring me some clothes and dry food, I may have to go on a business trip, you go back and tell Uncle Wei Qi by the way, there may be something on the Qinghe side, let him have a number in his heart." ”

Ao Bai was startled, and ran away with a promise, and after a meal, Meng Ke came with a horse - everything Li Yu wanted was on the horse, and Meng Ke asked as soon as he saw Li Yu: "What's wrong, Ao Bai, this kid can't say anything clearly." ”

"I don't know, Asari came back from Qinghe to see the eldest concubine, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, I'm afraid that something will happen to the Great Khan, maybe there will be something in Shenyang City, my identity is too eye-catching, I can't help but plan early, you go back and don't make a noise, take Hadari out of the city as soon as it is dawn, hide in your Mongolian friends for a few days, and when others ask, they will go out of the city to hunt, I will go to you when I come back, and we can't take care of the others, you will take Hadari well."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine with me in Hadari, you have to be more careful, don't let others sell you." After Meng Ke finished speaking, he hurried away.

The Great Khan brought by Asari issued an edict to urgently summon the concubine to wait, and specified that he would be escorted by Erlu. Asari told the concubine that the Khan's health was dying, and he was anxious to return to Shenyang to arrange the funeral, and he had already taken a boat from the Qinghe River to the Hun River along the Taizi River, and asked the concubine to meet him quickly.

The concubine immediately sent someone to find Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo, the three elder brothers were shocked when they heard it, Azig was about to report to the Great Yamen, so angry that the concubine raised her hand and gave him a slap, Dolgon remembered that the Han officials had said that Erlu Mu had no monarch's father and had a heart of disobedience, and ingeniously proposed to detain Li Yu's family in case of accidents, Azig immediately nodded in agreement, and the two also proposed the person they thought could be an alternative - the second girl of the Abatai family, Li Yu's Ahmengk and the child he raised.

The eldest concubine finally understood why Lao Khan said that Lao Fourteen was stupid in reading, and asked them coldly, then who are you going to detain? Buckle the second girl or deduct his Aha - that child can only be counted as Aha raised by Li Yuen now.

Duoduo couldn't help it, and ridiculed the two brothers, the second girl is from our family! Have you ever heard of people who take their own family and coerce others? Erniu is forced to make up for Erlu's kang, you catch her, maybe Erlu is still stealing fun, as for Li Yu's Aha as a hostage, you can figure it out, do you use slaves to threaten the master? If Eru wants to plot against them, he will care about them.

Duoduo said: "Erlu is a bachelor, don't think about it, it is safer to hand over Eniang to him than to hand it over to you two stupid, you didn't see his eyes looking at Eniang, he is closer than the two of you, I guess Elu Zhun thinks of our Eniang as his mother." ”

The concubine nodded triumphantly, she had already noticed that Erlu had listened to her, she was very proud of her charm, and the concubine decided not to bother with the two unlucky children, Azig and Dorgon.

"Erlu, this kid, I also think it's honest enough, don't think nonsense, just take care of your own flag, just let Erlu accompany me to see the Great Khan, your brothers told the other Baylors that the Great Khan is in good health, and asked me to pick him up and ask them to stay in Shenyang honestly." After the concubine finished giving instructions, she took Li Yu and the attendants on the road.

The concubine walked on the front foot, and the Baylors came to the door on the back foot, no one is a fool now, in case the old khan has three long and two short, and there are only Amin and the concubine around him, two people with ill intentions, and there is this brother in Shenyang City, what if everyone swallows everyone's benefits!

Big Belle and Four Baylor discussed, it was an extraordinary time, the two of them and Azig and their brothers should not go home, they all lived in the Great Yamen, they would be together sooner or later, no one wanted to do anything in private, Azig and Dolgon tried their best to talk and no one paid attention to them, so they had to agree to live in the Great Yamen, and Duoduo was also reluctantly dragged into the Great Yamen.

The Great Yamen soon became lively, and a large group of Baylors lived in the middle of the night - Mang Gurtai also came with a cover roll on his back when he heard the news, and the other Baylors saw this, and immediately rushed into the Dayamen, and at this time they wanted to get rid of them, don't think! Sleeping on the floor has to be put together, who can trust whom!

On the Taizi River, a wide river boat was moving down the river unhurriedly, and the lord of the Dajin Kingdom, who had been asleep all night in the cabin, woke up, he felt much better, and after eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, he invited Yasun to ask if the concubine was here.

"Niangniang hasn't arrived yet, but it's a day, and it should be there later today." Yasun rubbed his eyes and said, these days he has also been tossed enough to choke, the old sweat and poisonous sores are so painful that he can't sleep, he has to accompany the waiter, and last night he finally closed his eyes.

"Then send someone to pick it up, I'm always a little flustered when I can't see anyone, you go and call Erbeile to talk to me for a while." Old Khan seems to be better today, a few days ago can toss everyone badly, old Khan suddenly began to talk nonsense with fever all over his body, heard that there were a few Ming army guerrillas in the direction of Gouerling, he was scared and trembled, and insisted that he raised a few brutes who sent troops to pretend to be Ming soldiers to kill him, he wanted to go back to Shenyang to find them to settle accounts, not long after leaving Qinghe, and said that there were people in Shenyang who wanted to kill him, and he had to be picked up by the concubine to go back, and he wanted Erlu Doll to protect him.

"Amin, my child! I dreamed of you Ama again last night," the old Khan immediately cried when he saw Erbeile coming in, "You Ama was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, crying with me to eat, I took him into the woods together, picked up a basket full of pine nuts, and we also took off our clothes and wrapped a lot of big and round mushrooms, you Ama stopped crying, took my hand and wanted to go to the horse market to change food, we changed two big sorghum cakes, you Ama ate them all in one go, and didn't leave me a little." I also dreamed that the dog officials of the Ming Kingdom forced us Zhushen to fight for them, let us rush to the front, and the Ming army in the back looked at us with knives, we couldn't beat people, you Ama was surrounded by opponents, and was so anxious that you shouted 'Brother, save me'......"

Old Khan said and said, he couldn't cry anymore, Amin followed the hum and chirped but couldn't squeeze out tears, Lao Khan arrived at Qinghe, and when he saw him, he told these things again, at first he cried a few times, and then he was numb after listening to more, these old adult things were when he was young, his father Shuerhaqi didn't talk less, it was nothing more than that when they were young, their brothers were kicked out of the house by their stepmother, and they relied on picking pine nuts and picking mushrooms for food, and they often suffered from cold and starvation, he was tired of listening to it for a long time.

Old Khan cried sadly, pulled Amin into his arms, Amin was very reluctant, to be honest, the old Khan is dirty and smelly now, and the pus flowing out of his body makes people disgusting at first sight, but Old Khan behaved so pitifully, he could only pinch his nose and let him be at his mercy, Old Khan cried and said: "You Ama is my own brother, your eldest brother and third brother are also grown up by me, I feel uncomfortable when I think of them!" Amin, my child, Uncle will not care about you in the future, you can do whatever you want, as long as you live happily, I will have an explanation when I see you. ”

Amin couldn't stand it anymore, he saw Aha wipe the stinky pus and blood from the back of the old sweat, pushed the old sweat away, took a few steps back and knelt on the ground and howled: "Nephew doesn't dare, nephew will follow Da Khan to serve me Dajin in the future." ”

The two of them were talking nonsense in the cabin, no matter how the old Khan behaved with tears in his eyes, Amin no longer dared to get close to half a step, and just as he was thinking about how to get out, someone on the shore shouted: "Eru is coming, Eru Baturu is coming!" ”

"Erlu is here! The concubine is also almost here," said the old Khan, who was excited again, "and tell the doll to come in, and I want to see him." ”

Li Yu entered the cabin, and immediately smelled a foul smell, the radiant Khan when he left Shenyang was now a skinny little old man, looking at him pitifully, Li Yu stepped forward and reported: "Great Khan, the eldest concubine is coming here by boat, there is Asari with someone to escort, it will be about an hour, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry to send me by land to report first." ”

"Doll, didn't I allow you to call my father Khan? Come quickly, and let Father Khan look at you. Lao Khan said to Li Yu with tears in his eyes, Amin knew that the opportunity to get out was coming, so he kicked Li Yu to Lao Khan, said to go out to see, and slipped out to catch his breath.

"Eru, my child!" Old Khan stroked Li Yu's head, and when he touched it, he remembered that this guy didn't keep braids, but he didn't care about it now, "If you don't want to keep this braid, forget it, I won't care about you anymore in the future, I've wronged you too much for most of the year, and I've made so many great achievements, but I'm still a poor bachelor, and in the future, my father Khan will give you your property, Aha, and Erniu will also give it to you, and my father Khan will give you an official job, it must be a big official who is really lacking." In fact, it's not that Father Khan doesn't love you, it's that Father Khan is afraid that you will be pitted by those Baylors, so he won't let you go to any banner, and he wants to keep you by his side. ”
