Chapter 557 The Northerners 2

"Old man Lin, this summer is very dry, not to mention that the harvest in the field has been halved, and the barley tax system is implemented as usual, and the rations of these people who have come to settle here are not enough..."

Li Zheng smiled and whispered, Rao is Lin Mao looked at the people with yellow faces and thin muscles in the field, and said: "Forget it, it's not easy, this season's tenant harvest, the old man, I want to solve it, they just need to keep their own rations, this is about to enter autumn, if you don't hurry up to eat in the first season, I'm afraid it will be sad this winter!" Hearing this, Li Zheng and a group of consuls in the village knelt down and kowtowed one after another, thanking Lin Mao for his bodhisattva heart.

"Third Brother Lin, the county magistrate is here!"

In the chaos, Lin Mao heard the voice behind him, and hurriedly turned around, that Chen Yu was walking quickly, Lin Mao should be in front of Chen Yu: "Old man, you are here!" ”

"Brother Lin, I already know the matter, I don't dare to promise anything else, about the canal to help farming, as long as there are no accidents, I dare to guarantee that before the arrival of winter, the harvest can be guaranteed for another season, as for the barley tax system, I want to find a way to plug the gap in Lincheng, after all, those official farmers dare not dump us now!"

Hearing Chen Yu's words, Lin Mao was also grateful in his heart, although Lin Xiu is now a general, it seems that there is one person who has attained the Tao, and the whole clan has the potential to ascend to heaven, but in the boundary of Linshui Village, it has really become the Lin family's final say, and some orders from Lincheng have come here, first over Lin Mao and Chen Yu, if it is suitable, implement one or two, it is not suitable, and it will sink directly into the sea, who will let them be far away from the emperor, and Emperor Xia Wu of Zhongdu will not manage the barren land of northern Xinjiang at all.

It's just that some things still have to be measured, otherwise if they are too public, they will always invite disaster.

Thinking of this, Lin Mao pulled Chen Yu to a secluded place: "Although Lincheng doesn't order us much now, but the way you should go, you still have to go, it's okay, it's okay, you have to do it, don't let people catch Xiu'er's omissions, and say that we are evil!" ”

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter!"

At this point, Chen Yu seemed to say again, Lin Mao was paralyzed on the bamboo sedan chair, so he could only lean over and say: "Old brother... What do you have to say? ”

Chen Yu nodded: "It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but don't say it... My heart is restless..."

Chen Yu procrastinated, which made Lin Mao a little anxious, and Chen Yu said bluntly: "Shuling, this child and Zhong Yi have been married for two years... But on the heir... There's been no movement yet..."

Hearing this, Lin Mao's face sank, Chen Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing, after all, in this era, the issue of the heirs of everyone's big families is the most important thing in the sect, Lin Mao is now the patriarch of the Lin clan, and his son is the commander of the Bei'an Army.

On the side, Lin Yu saw that Lin Mao was dry, and hurriedly came over: "Lord Chen, family affairs... Go home and say, go home and say! After letting Lin Yu signal the family to lift the bamboo sedan chair, Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, don't forget to go in your heart, I just want to go and see Shu Ling and preach!" ”

Although Lin Mao was unhappy, but when he thought of this, he was also blocked, and after a while, Lin Mao responded to Chen Yu: "Old brother, I am a casual person, not an old antique from other big families, Shuling, this child, we like it in our hearts, she can't stand the grievances in our Lin family, if anyone wants to beat her idea, you have to ask the old man the wooden cane in my hand first, and in addition... Xiu'er and Shuling's future has their own blessings, and I can't interfere with the old man! ”

In the face of Lin Mao's heartfelt words, Chen Yu's heart surged, an old man from a businessman can see the world so thoroughly, I am afraid that the entire northern Xinjiang is only this person.

"Brother Lin, what I just said... Thank you! ”

"It's all in-laws, what to do or not to treat....After a while, I will have lunch at home, and you will go to see Shu Ling again, otherwise you will preach, Shu Ling will not eat again, and the injured person's body, I will not rely on you!"

Lin Mao just sank his face, but as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere changed suddenly, so that Chen Yu's heart knot opened slightly, and then the two of them walked towards the Lin mansion together.

Zhongdu. Zongren's House.

King Jingyan stayed in the ancestral hall all day long to recite and salute, in order to repent, the sect ordered only at noon, at the time of the war, let the latter send soup and vegetables, and fill the stomach Jingyan.

"Goo... Goo..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of partridge birds outside the window, Jing Yan, who was sitting on the mat with his eyes closed, immediately stopped the sound of the song, he opened his eyes slightly, relieved his breath, and let the latter wax pill be shot in through the window, and landed right at Jing Yan's feet.

Jing Yan opened it and looked at it carefully, and then crushed the wax pill, and put the note in his mouth, like chewing rice, swallowing it, and finally Jing Yan closed his eyes and said with shame: "Father, forgive your son's sin of unfilial piety!" ”

In the Zhengde Palace, Emperor Xia Wu stabilized the government, and almost wanted to make great efforts to change the signs of poverty and weakness in the years of Wutai, but the Zhongdu army was defeated under the city of Yanzhou, and the King of Yan returned to Jianghuai smoothly, which made Emperor Xia Wu angry.

"Your Majesty, this battle is not the negligence of our army, all because the previous fierce battle against the Yan army was too long, the good generals and elite soldiers were all killed, and the combat power was insufficient, that Yan Wang Taoguang raised the obscurity for ten years, led 200,000 troops to the west, and now only returned with more than 10,000 remnants, and the strength left to resist the break will be the backbone..."

Du Ruting explained word by word for the defeat of the pursuit of the battle, as an old minister, Du Ruting is very clear about the realm of the capital, and now Emperor Xia Wu really does not dare to toss anymore, and he must take advantage of the opportunity of the future of the Qin King of Hexi to quickly promote the momentum of the foreign minister and stabilize the foundation internally, only in this way can Emperor Xia Wu sit on the throne and Daxia can continue to be authoritative all over the world.

It's just that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, Emperor Xia Wu is even more unpredictable, with the change of circumstances, Emperor Xia Wu has long been in the war, the wind in the secret change of temperament, for the king of Yan, all he thinks is to regret the original kindness, if the heart was ruthless and vicious at that time, in the capital to take the king of Yan, kill him, how can there be a later Jianghuai military disaster?

During this period, King Yan was defeated and retreated, and Emperor Xia Wu sent Li Moran to lead his troops to take over the pursuit of the Bei'an Army, thinking that he could win a big victory and win back some face for the forbidden army in the central capital, but he ended up with a big defeat, and even Li Moran was almost slaughtered by He Qi!

"Whew... Call! ”

Emperor Xia Wu sat on the dragon platform, panting angrily, seeing that the situation was not right, Luo Jinci came out: "Your Majesty, General Li rushed to kill the Yan army, and he was originally nine out of ten, but those thieves and thieves in Yanzhou had trouble behind their backs, causing General Li to ignore the head and tail, and he was narrowly defeated before the victory!" ”

"Humph!"

Emperor Xia Wu snorted heavily: "Defeat is defeat, there is no need to say more, pass on the order, press Li Moran into prison, and punish the guilty in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Li Moran, who was kneeling on the ground at the bottom of the stairs, was paralyzed on the ground, waiting for the imperial guards to drag him away, Emperor Xia Wu looked around at the courtiers: "King Yan fled with him, but the land of several cities in Yanzhou cannot fall into the hands of the enemy, if he can't take it back by victory, do you still plan to let him rebel?" ”
