"Sister Shuling, look at you like this, can't you wait?" Don't worry, the eldest brother will be back soon, and then I will see how the eldest brother rides a tall horse to marry you back! ”

Listening to Lin Xiyue's banter, Chen Shuling's eyebrows were bent and happy, seeing that Lin Xiyue's childish words were excessive, Yuan's laughed and scolded, Lin Xiyue made a grimace, reached out and picked up a bright and fragrant ginseng fruit from the fruit basket, and ran to the courtyard to fight dogs and have fun.

After the house was cleaned, Zhang continued: "Shuling, what has your father been busy with lately? If it is appropriate, my aunt and your third uncle want to go to the mansion to meet you? ”

"My father is busy with the implementation of the barley tax system and animal husbandry system, and he has not returned to the house for more than a month, and the house has been taken care of by the Yu family... Auntie, actually... I don't care about that family anymore..."The words were so heavy that for a while Zhang was gloomy, and he swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.

Lincheng, the county guard's house.

Yao Qisheng looked at the documents submitted by the counties for the implementation of the barley tax system, and he couldn't help sighing: "Alas... What can I do? What should I do..."

Hearing this, in the pavilion house, Yu Hailong, the mansion, hurriedly ran over: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

"See for yourself!"

Yao Qisheng threw a document to Yu Hailong, Yu Hailong stretched his arm and turned the document over, and after a while, Yu Hailong was full of anger: "My lord, these Diao people are too dissatisfied, the barley tax system is divided into five or five points, and the grain seeds are still given by the official family, they don't care about the good of the official family, but they ask for a year's tax exemption, is it possible that they think that the official family is soft persimmons, so it is delicious?" ”

"Or what do you think?" Yao Qisheng sighed: "A northern barbarian war has given thousands of miles of land in the north to the disaster, if the spring planting is not implemented as soon as possible, if there is a natural disaster in the summer harvest and autumn planting, not to mention far away, I am afraid that there will be a mob in a radius of hundreds of miles in Lincheng..."

"They dare!" Yu Hailong said stiffly: "My lord, I want to go down to the official to say, for these Diao people, you have to be tough, you can't give them face!" ”

"Come hard? How long will we be in this city? You forgot about the civil unrest in the city? ”

Yao Qisheng sat down and took a breath: "Right now, there are still some grain seeds and grain stocks in our official warehouse in Lincheng, you go and sum it up, if it is enough to support spring planting and autumn preparation, and protect the foundation of this year, then order all counties to exempt from the tax amount for one year, and implement the barley tax system for spring planting as soon as possible, this official really can't withstand the civil unrest!" ”

"But..."Yu Hailong still wanted to say something, but he didn't want to ask Sima Zhong to enter the mansion.

Because Yu Hailong and Ma Zhong had a mustard in the civil fight in Lincheng before, the two did not agree, and the meeting for a while made Yu Hailong's face gloomy, and he turned to leave, Ma Zhong didn't care about this mansion, and strode in and said: "My lord, the order of the Xiaowu Emperor Bei'an is here!" ”

"Bei'an General?" Yao Qisheng has been busy with people's livelihood cultivation recently, and he has long forgotten the military order that Lin Xiu transferred back, and after thinking for a while, Yao Qisheng reacted.

"You mean that the Guozi bachelor from Linshui County, Lin Zhongyijun is here?"

"Exactly, this is the joint order of the military department and the official department of the central capital, and at the same time, there are also the capital seals of the three pavilions of the military council pavilion, the Zhongshu pavilion, and the Taifu pavilion!" Ma Zhong said, handing over the military dispatch order branded with fire paint.

Yao Qisheng frowned slightly, and did not turn on the order, but asked: "Where has Lin Xiu's department gone?" ”

"Niujia Village at the junction of Linxiang, it is estimated that it will arrive the day after tomorrow!"

"Oh...."Yao Qisheng dragged, Ma Zhong was a little puzzled by this, he thought for a moment, and said closely: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Ma Dusi, this official is a little confused!"

"Your Excellency, please speak!"

Yao Qisheng got up and took the appointment letter and motioned to Ma Zhong: "When have you ever seen an appointment of a fictitious general with so many central seals?" ”

In this regard, Ma Zhong was stunned, although he was only a magistrate, but he was also clear about some rules for the military transfer, if Lin Xiu was a real famous general, this order was normal, but he was a famous general in Bei'an who was dismissed from his post by six grades, so it was a little weird.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"At present, there are a lot of political affairs in Lincheng, and we have taken care of our own heads, where can we get him as a powerful general... The official had a good impression of Lin Xiu before, this son is the life of the dragon horse, and it is definitely not something that the official can restrain him, and it is rumored in the capital that he is the twelfth level of the marching and jumping level, and it is supported by Qin Yi, the imperial city is maneuvering, and he is favored by His Majesty, so the official thinks about it, he seems to be transferred to the north, but he does not have the situation of the local official system, so..."

Hearing this, Ma Zhong already understood that Yao Qisheng's implication was that he was afraid of getting involved in right and wrong, and he was unwilling to take over Lin Xiu.

"Your Excellency, but the order has been issued... If not..."

"The official doesn't mean not to take it, the official just can't take it!" Yao Qisheng thought for a moment and said: "Before he led the Bei'an general to take up his post, didn't he have a position of military transfer to an official position, it seems to be... What is a thousand cattle to prepare, according to the official position of the central capital, it is also a seven-grade position... As a member of Lincheng, this county guard is only a fourth-grade official, and a newly promoted seventh-grade official is placed in Lincheng, which is really abrupt, so... His name is Bei'an General, and his official is the same as him as a Bei'an official, and he only falls into the seven-rank official service, but his power and his position are not in the official body of Lincheng! ”

"This..."Ma Zhong said suspiciously: "That... What about the more than 1,000 soldiers under his command? ”

"This official can't control it, at present, there is not enough grain in Siye County, and the stability of hundreds of thousands of people cannot be maintained, how can he still manage his thousands of people? Moreover, his name is Bei'an General, so he has to think of a way to solve the crisis for Lincheng, instead of expecting Lincheng to do something for him! ”

When Yao Qisheng said this, he looked at Ma Zhong with deep meaning: "Ma Dusi, this official knows that your son Ma Hansheng and Lin Xiunai County know the same thing, and the relationship is better than ours, but there are some things that the official wants to say in advance!" ”

Ma Zhong was stunned: "Please advise!" ”

"He Lin Xiu is a dragon horse, and he walks very humanely, you want the Ma family to be famous in the city, and climb high roots outside, but you also have to see your own ability, the middle capital is romantic, and the dark waves are turbulent, if you are too close to Lin Xiu, you accidentally pull your body bones, what are the consequences, this official will not say much!"

In the face of the deep meaning of the words, Ma Zhong was speechless for a while, and finally could only retire and leave the house, but just saw the two officials rushing out of Yu Hailong's side pavilion house, Ma Zhong was a little disturbed, and he didn't pay attention, so he hurriedly left.

Niujia Village is a barren village on the southern border of the city. For the sudden arrival of more than 1,000 armor soldiers, all the people in the village were shocked.

After Lin Xiu ordered his subordinates to set up camp, he came to the bonfire to rest, looking at a bunch of babies from a distance, Lin Xiu beckoned, the babies cowered, and the pro-soldier Liu Pan said with a smile: "General, look at me!" After the words fell, Liu Pan took out dry cakes as a guide, and these babies smelled the aroma of eating, so they had the courage to gather around.
