In July, a series of decrees were passed from the Xuanzheng Hall to the Outer Departments of the Royal Palace, which in turn issued them to all parties.

One of the most important decrees was the autumn harvest, the inspection of the field tax, and the collection of grain.

Emperor Wu's 23-year imperial court had an unprecedented urgency for grain collection, and Emperor Wu did not hesitate to throw out the [grain collection order] of "those who have made great achievements in collecting grain, the official is added to the third class, and the court is awarded the secretary".

The court is Shangqing, this is almost a forbidden area of a first-class old clan, and no one else is allowed to interfere.

In the court, it is considered to be a strict hierarchy, and the three phases are the ministers of Emperor Wu's inner court, regardless of it for the time being, the position of the real power doctor in the outer dynasty is Shiqing Shilu, and there are only a few old clans that can fight with the royal Lin clan to control.

The same is true for the Shangqing under them, although they do not have the profound heritage of those transcendent old clans, but they are also a family that stomps on the Wuguo and shakes three times, and controlling the position of Shangqing is also to maintain the purity of the bloodline of the old clan.

Emperor Wu threw out the [Grain Raising Order] at this time, so that they were helpless, after all, the bloodline of any old clan must be established under the recognition of the court.

What kind of people are the Red Turban Army in the south, they have already heard of it, it is a group of mud-legged people, and they still have an attitude of coercion towards civilians, but for the pampered old clans, there are only four words: burning, killing and robbing.

Compared with maintaining the purity of the bloodline of the old clans, saving their own lives is the first choice of these old clans.

However, if you want to make those mud-legged people unable to be among the top ministers, it is not impossible, as long as these old clans take the position of the leader of this [Grain Raising Order], wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, and it can also increase the voice of their own family in the court, and it may not be impossible to go further.

It seems...... This time, there is going to be a little blood in the clan...... 〗

This has also become the consensus of many old clans.

In the past, it was generally the old clan who controlled the income of the local field tax, and they usually used the means of "concealing the population or acreage" and "falsely reporting the famine" to deceive the field tax, and the high taxes of the people under the rule were not handed over to the national treasury Wancheng warehouse, but went into their own inner treasury.

Therefore, the civilian bottles have no storage grains, and the treasury is empty all year round, and only the old clan eats a mouthful of fat.

But this year, these old clans were moved by the many tempting conditions thrown out by Emperor Wu in order to collect grain and grass......

Of course, although Gongzixin was anxious about the recent rout of the city defense battalion, there was no lack of attention to this matter, but more of it was angry.

At this time, Gongzixin had already comprehended the intention of the eldest prince to ask Zhi Lecheng to persuade the farmer.

"This straw bale must not be able to see so far, it must have someone's guidance...... Unfortunately, he dismissed all the eyeliner I had arranged...... Wait, no! ”

Gongzixin clenched his fists and said to himself viciously: "It turns out that my eyeliner was cut off early in the morning and laid out for me...... Since you can think so far, then the incident of the city defense camp may also be driven by it! ”

Gongzixin was furious, it was really hard to imagine how Lin Yuren's straw bag did this, if it weren't for the intervention of the sixth brother of the emperor, it would not be difficult for Gongzixin to imagine his end, he lost the moderation of the city defense camp, and there was a gap with the old clan, and his prestige in the court was completely lost.

However, Lin Yuren relied on the agricultural persuasion order and this [grain raising order] to return to the court again, believing that he would be no different from the lost dog at that time.

In this way, the sixth brother of the emperor saved a dead end for me...... 〗

Gongzixin was not only happy, but also couldn't help but be deeply jealous of Lin Yuren, usually this straw bag had no other scruples except for the identity of [eldest son], but now, Lin Yuren was able to think so far, but it made Gongzixin have a sense of fear.

Although he knew what Lin Yuren's methods were, Gongzixin was unable to catch up, and now it was just a matter of patrolling the battalion, and the children of the old clan who were originally inserted to eat and wait for death were really a failure, and now in addition to the 1,000 border troops of the third brother Yuyuan, most of the cowardly children of the old clan fled, and the military registration office was burned down, giving these people a chance to have no worries.

Gongzixin has already filled his own guard, as for the usual disciples, when they heard that they were going to fight in the south, they fled one after another, and only less than ten people remained, among which there was a merchant from Boshan, who offered to buy slaves to be included in the city defense camp.

Gongzixin knew that although his father in the palace did not speak out, he must have known about the escape of the city defense camp, and he had no choice but to accept such a strategy.

However, Gongzixin tried his best, but he got less than 500 slaves from Longdi and Yongdi, and there was a difference of more than 1,000 people, but there was no news.

One day in July, Wang Meng, the housekeeper of Gongzixin's mansion, returned from outside the mansion and went to the study where Gongzixin was located with a happy face.

"Your Highness, good news...... Good news! ”

Wang Meng said a few good news in a row, hearing this, Gongzi's letter frowned, Wang Meng has always been calm, it is absolutely impossible to be targeted, and he immediately asked: "But the news of the city defense camp?" ”

"Exactly!" Wang Meng had already walked in front of Gongzixin and said, "Your Highness, the people are all together, Yu Yan, the former commander of Jianyang, brought more than 1,000 people to patrol the battalion, and now Meng has sent people to properly arrange them to be stationed in Nanxiao!" ”

"Captain Yu Yan?" Gongzixin asked, "But are you here in Shanglin Yuan?" ”

Wang Meng nodded: "Exactly, this Yu Yan has already said, but he came on the orders of His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, Meng has seen it, and the soldiers who came are all tall and powerful, and it is definitely not His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan who is indiscriminately filling up the numbers and prevaricating His Highness!" ”

Hearing this, Gongzixin was quite emotional, but he didn't expect that the person who solved the big trouble in his heart was actually the sixth brother of the emperor who had been out of the cabinet for only a year.

If you want to come to Shanglin Yuan to build a new building, Yu Yan should have chosen an elite pawn...... In this way, the help of several times in a row has already made me owe Yu Yan a favor! 〗

Gongzixin thought so, although he thought so, but Lin Yuxin didn't intend to refuse, because he really needed these soldiers!

"Wang Meng, repair a book, and prepare a gift to reward me for the sixth brother of the emperor!"

"Whoa!" Wang Meng responded.

Lin Yuyan received the gift of thanks from the second emperor brother, it was already in late July a few days later, but he didn't care, Yu Yan's more than 1,000 people were the soldiers of the Tunken Army in the Wuyang Army, and this time Lin Yuyan not only brought 3,000 Wuyang Army troops to dispatch, but also mobilized other people in Lin Yuan to ensure the supply of the army.

And it was also today that Han Kui sent over a wooden box, which contained dozens of pieces of paper, each with four large characters with different handwriting - [Defend the Family and Defend the Country], and there were hundreds of red clay fingerprints of different sizes on it.

Lin Yuyan knew that this meant that the task of the scout camp was completed!
