There seemed to be a father and son arguing in the big tent, and there were more than a dozen people next to him to persuade him, and a middle-aged man persuaded: "What is there to discuss, Ergouzi, you are not small, why are you so angry, you actually quarrel with your father." ”

"Uncle Wei, I obviously said that I would join the Mutual Aid Protection Group with you, but my father made his own decision and designated it by the government, and no one knew anyone in this Eighty-One Mutual Aid Protection Group, can I not be in a hurry?"

Li Yanqing recognized the young man's father at a glance as the old man he had seen at the registration office just now, so he gave Zhao Kai a look, Zhao Kai understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Except for what?" ”

Someone recognized Zhao Kai and shouted, "It's Zhao Guanren who is here!" ”

The arguing old man hurriedly stepped forward to wipe away his tears and said, "Zhao Guanren, give me a comment!" My son forced me to stop. ”

The young man jumped up suddenly, "Daddy, what did I say about this, where did I force you, it's clearly something to say......."

Zhao Kai's face sank, and he scolded: "You can talk to your father like this? ”

The young man didn't dare to say any more, he lowered his head with a red face, and Li Yanqing smiled: "I guess there is any trouble, you might as well sit down and talk!" ”

The old man hurriedly put on a few small stools, Li Yanqing and Zhao Kai sat down, the stools were not enough, everyone else sat on the ground, Li Yanqing turned around, and saw a few sheepskins in the corner, so he asked with a smile: "These sheepskins are given by the army!" ”

"Exactly! One per person, our family of five, was divided into five, which is very practical. ”

The sheepskin was the trophy of the Song army's sweep of the tribes in Xipingfu, and after obtaining 500,000 sheepskins, Li Yanqing ordered one to be given to each Song person who returned to the south, and gave them to use when they slept at night.

Zhao Kai smiled and introduced to everyone: "This general is the envoy of the Northwest Third Road, and he is also the commander of the Song Army, you should all know." ”

Everyone suddenly understood, and they were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed, Li Yanqing glared at Zhao Kai, and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, please don't be polite, please sit at will, I'm just chatting with everyone." ”

Everyone saw that Li Yanqing's tone was gentle and smiling, and the fear slowly subsided, and the middle-aged man surnamed Wei said with palpitations: "The Western Xia side portrayed Li Dutong as very vicious, which made everyone very afraid, and now I know that Li Dutong is so gentle." ”

"I killed so many Tangut soldiers, of course I am a devil to the Tangut people."

Everyone laughed together, and Li Yanqing asked the old man again: "Old man's surname, why are you arguing?" ”

The old man sighed, "The little old man's surname is Yang, a native of Suide County, Suizhou, and these are all fellow villagers in Suide, originally it was good for everyone to go back to their hometown together and form a mutual aid group, but I think that it is too close to the border, in case of another war, the family will be in danger, it doesn't matter if I have an old bone, but what about my grandson?" So I changed my mind when I registered today, and I wanted to stay in Guanzhong. ”

Li Yanqing said to his son again: "Now you know your father's hard work!" ”

The young man lowered his head and said for a while: "Although my father is a hard worker, I still want to go back to Suizhou, we have such a good relationship, and we can help each other if we have a little difficulty in the future, I really don't want to be separated from everyone." ”

Everyone also persuaded the old man: "Uncle Yang, we are not afraid, what are you worried about?" Besides, the real war is coming, you can't hide even in Guanzhong, so let's go back to our hometown with us! ”

Everyone persuaded the old man together, and the old man finally agreed, "Since everyone says so, I will also go back to my hometown!" I'll revise it later, and thank you for your persuasion. ”

Li Yanqing smiled again and asked, "Do you have any thoughts or requirements for the future?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to say anything, Zhao Kai smiled and said: "This opportunity is rare, don't worry about it, as long as it is a reasonable request, Li Dutong will consider it." ”

The middle-aged man next to him hesitated and said, "I'll say a few words!" The villain's name is Wei Yun, he was taken captive by the Western Xia for ten years, he has been mining in the mines day and night, it can be described as dark, he has been exploited, the Song army rescued us, my heart is already full of gratitude, I am looking forward to reuniting with my family, it stands to reason that I should not make any more requests, but I feel empty-handed to see my wife and children, it is difficult to say, can you give us a little property, not to say that it is compensation, but to give a little heart to the family. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "I can understand your feelings, I will also compensate you to the greatest extent, the plan I consider is Qingmiao compensation, land compensation and tax-free compensation, Qingmiao compensation is to next year's summer harvest, each person will have a basic ration of two buckets of rice per month, so that everyone will not starve, followed by land compensation, each Song people will compensate 20 to 30 acres of official land, Guanzhong area is 20 acres, outside Guanzhong is 30 acres, and then the second is tax exemption compensation, within five years the government is exempt from taxes, if you reclaim the ownerless wasteland by yourself, Not only can the wasteland be owned by oneself, but it is also exempt from taxes for five years, and finally there is consolation compensation, and the previous sheepskin is a little heart, and when everyone goes home, both men and women over ten years old will give a sheep as a gift to return home. ”

After Li Yanqing finished speaking, everyone in the big tent was very excited, and they kowtowed to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing smiled and said to Zhao Kai: "Actually, my opinion is basically consistent with your suggestion, you sort out what I just said, convey it to every Song Min, let everyone understand, if you have other reasonable requirements, you can also put it forward, and we will discuss it before deciding." ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Remember the humble duty!" ”

Li Yanqing got up and said goodbye to everyone, walked out of the big tent, a group of officials followed him, Li Yanqing walked a few steps, turned back to Zhao Kai and said: "After this matter is over, you will serve as the transfer envoy of Shaanxi Road, and take care of the affairs of salt, iron, tea and wine for me!" ”

Zhao was happy and moved, and said in a deep voice for a while: "The humble position will never disappoint the economic envoy!" ”

.........

After inspecting the camp of the returned people in Gaoling County, it was already dusk when Li Yanqing returned to Jingzhao City, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, Tang Kai, the chief bookkeeper, greeted him and reported, "Qiyu Dutong, the imperial envoy has arrived in Jingzhao, and he is currently resting at the VIP Station." ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned, Zhao Gou actually sent a messenger here, and he understood after a little groaning, it should have nothing to do with personnel appointments, not so fast, and it was likely to be for the affairs of Western Xia.

"Who is the messenger?" Li Yanqing asked.

"It's Lu Yihao, the new prime minister."

It turned out to be him, of course Li Yanqing knew Lu Yihao, the prime minister of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, who had previously served as the transfer envoy of Yanshan Mansion Road, and was captured by the Jin State because of Guo Yaoshi's reduction of gold, and was gradually reused by Zhao Gou after his release, and served as the prime minister twice.

A month ago, Xu Churen was dismissed as prime minister for improper handling of Xuanzhou peasants' tax resistance, and Lu Yihao took over as vice minister and was appointed governor.

After all, it was the arrival of Xiangguo, Li Yanqing couldn't be too lazy, he immediately urged the horse to run to the VIP post, seeing the arrival of the capital control, the post Cheng hurriedly went in to report to Lu Yihao, and after a while, Lu Yihao greeted him, "I actually want Li Taibao to come to the door in person, I am really ashamed, Taibao sent his own soldiers to say, the old man should go to the palace to see him!" ”

Lu Yihao is very good at talking, he has higher qualifications than Li Yanqing, and his official position is the same as Li Yanqing, but his title is lower than Li Yanqing, so he puts his posture very low.

Li Yanqing hurriedly apologized and said: "Xiang Lu is serious, Xiangguo is coming, there is no Feixin in Tongguan, otherwise I will personally go to Tongguan to greet him, it is rude for me." ”

"Don't blame General Tongguan Cao for this matter, I didn't let him pass on the message, the disadvantages of greeting and sending back and forth are too heavy, I have always opposed it, and I should lead by example."

"Lu Xianggong is right, I have time to clean up the officialdom of the Northwest Third Road."

The two exchanged a few words, Li Yanqing followed Lu Yihao into the inner courtyard, sat down in the hall, a tea boy came in and served tea, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "How is the situation in Lin'an, how is the official family okay during this time?" ”

"Lin'an is now a day by day, 50,000 public rental houses have been built, the people from Tokyo to the south have basically been settled, just the day before I set off, the refugee camp was officially demolished, Lin'an's land trading is extremely hot, together with Pingjiang Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion is also thriving, now the imperial court has been on the right track, this time the official family sent me to Tokyo first, to commend General Zong Lao in Guide Mansion defeated the Jin soldiers, killed more than 8,000 Jin soldiers who crossed the river to provoke."

Li Yanqing nodded and said with a smile: "This time, it was General Yue Fei who made a great contribution, first luring the enemy into the depths, and then burning the warship to cut off his way back, so that the eight thousand golden soldiers were defeated without a fight, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

Of course, Li Yanqing also knew that these 8,000 Jin soldiers were also the Song army of Hebei Province that surrendered to the Jin State, and was called the Han Army by the Jin soldiers, and Wanyan Zongwang, who guarded the Daimyo's Mansion, constantly sent the Han army to harass the banks of the Yellow River, although they were constantly annihilated by the Song army, but they could not shake the foundation of the Jin soldiers, in fact, Li Yanqing was more worried that this winter, the Jin soldiers were likely to attack the south bank of the Yellow River again, and that was the most severe test of the Song Dynasty.

A gloomy color flashed in Lu Yihao's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "There is one more thing I want to tell the Taibao, ten days ago, the prime minister died of an unfortunate illness!" ”

"What!"

Li Yanqing was taken aback, and suddenly stood up, "The handsome man has ......"

Lu Yihao nodded heavily, "The prime minister himself is old, after serving as the left minister, his health is getting worse, and he accidentally blew a cool breeze on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he has been seriously ill, and many treatments have been ineffective. ”

Li Yanqing was very sad in his heart, the Seed Master Dao was his benefactor, if it weren't for the Seed Master Dao's support to him, he Li Yanqing would not be where he is today, for a while, Li Yanqing's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Is the handsome buried in Hangzhou?"

Lu Yihao shook his head, "The official family is allowed to send the Xianggong back to his hometown for burial, and his coffin will be escorted by his nephew Chong Wei back to the west, and it should be almost to Tongguan." ”

Li Yanqing was emotional, he didn't have the heart to say any more, and said to Lu Yihao: "If there is anything, let's talk about it later, I will go to Tongguan to welcome the spirit now!" ”
