Although the old village chief said that he was relaxed, he did not dare to be careless, and immediately asked his son Gao Yu to invite Gao Shun to negotiate after Du Bian left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Shun was very curious, why was the old village chief so anxious to find him? asked Gao Yudao: "Uncle, what is the prince looking for me?" ”

"Haha, I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely a good thing. Du Youyi's visit just now is probably about household registration. ”

Gao Shun hurriedly came to the village chief's house.

"Taigong!"

Gao Yuan said bluntly: "Sit! Just now, Du Youyi came here, saying that tomorrow the county magistrate will come in person, I hope you will do a good job of protection, I feel that we should send people to the west for 20 miles to guard to prevent the Huns from attacking and endangering the safety of the county magistrate. ”

"Yes, Taigong! But what does the county magistrate mean here? Gao Shun asked puzzled.

"Take credit!" Gao Yuan said without thinking, this is a common thing in the original border army, and I believe that the county magistrate also has this intention, otherwise he will not need to come in person at all.

"Taigong, how can you deal with it?"

"Adapt!"

"Mrs. Xie!" I am not familiar with the county magistrate, so I can only act according to the situation tomorrow.

The old village chief was very satisfied with Gao Shun's recent performance, but when forming the village protection team, he required the age to be over 17 years old, and the family pillar could not participate, and others could not participate because they were too young, resulting in hundreds of people in the village protection team, and the people in the village were less than ten, so he took the opportunity to say: "Ah Shun, although you give each household 2 stone millet, but you can only solve the current difficulties of each household, whether to relax the age limit of the village protection team members, to 15 years old?" ”

Gao Shun shook his head and retorted: "Taigong is a person who knows soldiers, and the village guards are hovering between life and death, and if they are too young, their physical endurance will not last, and if they are forcibly entered, they will harm themselves and others, and they will not be enough." ”

"It's just that there are too few people in the village, and I'm worried that the loyalty of the village protection team is insufficient, which is not conducive to stability."

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Taigong, I think so, next month the underage can participate in the challenge, as long as they can defeat the existing team members, their physical endurance will reach the standard, so that it can not only increase the number of people in the village, but also ensure that the selected people will not be injured due to their young age, what do you think?" ”

The old village chief was the chief of the border army, and he knew that what Gao Shun said was correct, and it was not good to be too demanding, otherwise it would really harm others and himself; If you succeed in entering the village protection team by challenging the existing team members, you can avoid this kind of damage as much as possible, so you nodded and said, "Okay, just follow your method." ”

After Gao Shun returned, he immediately asked Zhao Xiong to organize the village and the members of the rescued team to ensure the safety of the county magistrate.

The literati of this era paid attention to the six arts, including riding and shooting, and they were by no means the literati who were powerless in later generations.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Xuan led 10 guards to ride to Taiping Village. It is only a little more than ten miles from the county seat to Taiping Village, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse.

The three elders and others arrived in advance and greeted them at the entrance of the village together with the old village chief, Gao Shun and others.

"Welcome to the county magistrate!"

"You don't have to be polite!" Wang Xuan came in the spirit of befriending Gao Shun and others, he didn't want to show off his official authority, he continued: "This official is here, first of all, to issue household registration, and secondly, to meet all the little heroes, why don't the three elders introduce me to it?" ”

"It's an honor, County Magistrate Wang, this is a high hero, this rescue was planned and carried out by him, and he deserves the title of hero."

"I've seen the county magistrate!" Gao Shun immediately stepped forward to salute and greet.

Wang Xuan looked at Gao Shun, his face was still immature, but he was majestic, neither arrogant nor humble, he seemed to have the demeanor of everyone, and praised: "Haha, the little hero is really a talent, and he has made such a great contribution at a young age, which is gratifying!" Congratulations! ”

"County Magistrate Xie praises!"

The third elder introduced: "This is Captain Zhao and Captain Li of the village protection team, both of whom are enemies of ten thousand people, beyond the reach of my generation!" ”

"I've seen the county magistrate!"

"Heroes, thank you." When County Magistrate Wang saw these two people, his heart was even more happy, these two people were even more majestic, a head taller than them, and they were indeed outstanding.

Subsequently, the county magistrate Wang personally issued household registration to each rescued person, and it took a total of one hour to complete the distribution of 255 household registration materials. Through observation, most of the rescued people were Xiongnu hairstyles, which did not seem to be fake, and they were indeed Han Chinese captured by the Huns.

The tradition at that time, "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also!" "If there is no fear of life or death, no one will make a move to cut their hair.

"I want to have a private interview with Gao Yingxing, I wonder if it's convenient?" Wang Xuan asked Gao Shun after he was busy.

"On the orders of the county magistrate." Gao Shun was very curious about the purpose of the county magistrate's visit.

In the humble house of Gao Shun's house, Wang Xuan sat on the edge of the bed, and Gao Shun stood respectfully on one side.

"Gao Hero really admires me, the four walls of the family are still worried about the imperial court, attacking the Huns in the west, rescuing the Han people, building a village protection team with their own strength, and protecting the peace of our Han border. Wang Xuan couldn't help but admire, he didn't expect Gao Shun's family to be so poor, and the assets he had were not used to improve his life, but to form a village protection team.

"County Magistrate Wang praised falsely, the people of my generation should be worried about the world first, and happy after the world."

"Haha, that's a good point, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world! Brilliant in writing, noble in character, strong in martial arts, resourceful, and talented! I will definitely recommend you to the Taishou and the Imperial Court. "Wang Xuan is really happy, if he is strong in martial arts alone, he will not attract the attention of the scholars, there are many reckless people, if there are noble morals, literary talents and wisdom and bravery, it is rare to find a martial artist, Wang Xuan decided to pull him into the family's circle of interests.

"County Magistrate Xie praised, we and other grass people have no great ambitions, we are only willing to base ourselves on our hometown and ensure the safety of one party!" Gao Shun didn't want to enter the court as an official, and that kind of deceitful environment was not suitable for him.

County Magistrate Wang was even more happy, he was not carried away by the temporary victory at a young age, and he was not fluttered by his praise, and it was even more rare to be able to stick to his nature; And he also knows that without strong family support, it is difficult for a good family to gain a foothold in the imperial court, ability is only one aspect, and relationships and financial resources are more important. So he said: "I will not recommend you to enter the court, I am also a native of Bingzhou, and I recommend you to be an official in this state to ensure the peace of my border with the state; When I turn around, I will write to the clan uncle in the court, and report your merits to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"County Magistrate Xie is kind, it's just that my family is poor, and you can see it, there is really no money to be an official." Gao Shun refused without hesitation, according to the tradition of this era, whoever is recommended will be labeled as a series of people, Gao Shun doesn't want to find a person with such a low level as a backer.

"Gao Hero is too worried, my Wang family can still come out with a small amount of money."

"Could the county magistrate be from the Taiyuan royal family?" The big family that can call itself the royal family is none other than the Taiyuan royal family.

"Gao Hero knows my home?"

"The prince's master Wang Yushi is a household name in Bingzhou, and it comes from the Taiyuan royal family, how can I not know?"

"Haha, Wang Yushi is my clan uncle, and my clan uncle will report to Your Majesty, and it will definitely attract Your Majesty's attention."

Gao Shun didn't want to refuse too obviously, so he had to change the topic and wanted to see Wang Xuan's attitude, so he said: "County Magistrate Wang, these more than 200 newly registered people are a heavy burden for us, and I hope the county government will give assistance." ”

"Haha, although Gao Yingying can rest assured, this is a trivial matter, the county government does not have so much money and food at present, so my Wang family will pay 300 yuan, and then send it." Wang Xuan regarded this as one of the measures to make a good deal with Gao Shun.

"County Magistrate Xie Wang, this can only solve temporary worries, not a long-term solution."

"Then I decided that the wasteland and ownerless land around Taiping Village and to the west of it can be cultivated and planted at will, and they will be exempted from paying taxes for 5 years, and the Han people who will be rescued in the future will be handled as long as they are registered in Taiping Village, how about it?"

Gao Shun hurriedly thanked Wang Xuan. This is a chicken rib for others, and for him, he can legitimately include the thousands of square kilometers of land west of Taiping Village into his name; And Wang Zishi has an upright personality and a good reputation, and it is a good move to use it as a backing, Gao Shun accepted Wang Xuan's kindness.

"Gao Hero doesn't have to be polite, I will write to my uncle as soon as I return to the city, you just have to wait here for news; At present, you have to work hard to train the village protection team, which is your starting capital. Wang Xuan pointed.

"Yes, County Magistrate Wang!" For Gao Shun, it is still wishful thinking to rely on the prince's division at present, and he doesn't know what his attitude is, so he can only wait quietly for the result.

Wang Xuan was very satisfied with Gao Shun's performance, as long as he accepted the recommendation of the Wang family, he would be a member of the Wang family's forces, and for him personally, he was also a good foreign aid; If Gao Shun achieves great achievements in the future, the more he will be valued personally in the family, especially if he knows people in a reckless manner, he will be able to achieve his good name.
