Chapter 303: Is the Corn Tortilla Delicious or the White Flour Cake Delicious?!
After reading the letter, Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu system, listened carefully to the instructions of the secret envoy.
Perhaps such an instruction is more important than the content of the secret letter.
After listening to this, a glimmer of light appeared in his heart.
This matter is not only arranged by Jia Pingzhang, but also the participation of the forces of Liuqiu Island!
The Jinghu system made Lu Wenhuan not only admire the practicality of the objects produced on Liuqiu Island, but also admire their military strength.
Their Lu family also sent a righteous army to Shandong in private------ of course they couldn't play the banner of the Lu family openly.
Therefore, he was very familiar with the war situation in Shandong.
Originally, it was just a group of soldiers, but after their selection and training, they would have such a powerful combat power!
He attributed it all to the weapon.
The pro-soldiers of the Lu family may be the most comprehensive army in addition to the imperial firearms battalion, in addition to military uniforms.
The Lu family also had war horses and Mamluk cavalry from Tianzhu and Cairo, and in the military exercise, he let those cavalry fight with his own soldiers, feeling that he could not only defend the city, but also properly sneak attack and counterattack!
Jia Pingzhang asked him to find a way to falsely report the military situation of the Tatar clique's military reinforcements, and he could use all means.
The Streamers will also send a team to work with them.
Sure enough, after sending off the secret envoy, within a few days several merchant ships arrived, and a group of people dressed in common people's clothes came down, and they carried a lot of luggage with them.
When the officials who took care of the pier saw the gift stickers handed over by those people, they immediately knew that it was the person who had personally asked him to wait for him had arrived.
Without further ado, he immediately brought the leader to the Lu family.
The leader was sturdy, but his clothes and demeanor were inconspicuous, and he naturally had a smile on his face, just like a businessman who had been in business for a long time, and it was close to him.
He was personally received by Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu, and the two discussed for a long time in the secret room, and no one could hear their conversation.
After the man was sent out of the secret room by Lu Wenhuan, he walked out of the side door of the Lu Mansion alone and quietly disappeared into the increasingly prosperous Xiangyang City.
This person is none other than Huang Zu, the leader of the Liuqiu Guard's Special Agent Brigade, and this time, he brought two squads, a total of 200 members, to perform a mission here.
He wants to cooperate with the Lu family group to make some moves.
The Jinghu system made Lu Wenhuan communicate with the Liuqiu Guard, and of course he knew about this team.
In fact, he had a similar team: he selected one out of ten from his own charcoal burning army, and selected 300 people to train according to the appearance of the special agent brigade.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment are basically the same------ even the personnel of both sides are the same, and the cooperation between the two sides to go to the north to start an incident happens to be a secret game.
Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu Formation, learned through a conversation with Captain Huang Zu that this person only knew that it was Zhang Dao who ordered him to cooperate with the Lu family in the east and west roads of Hebei to achieve the goal of disrupting the enemy's rear.
The deeper intention of diverting the attention of the people in the country is not known to this captain.
Of course, Lu Wenhuan would not tell his subordinates about his deeper intentions, so he let the captains of the two sides discuss and cooperate by themselves.
Jia Pingzhang's secret envoy said at that time that it is necessary to make trouble without chaos, and to be dangerous without fighting------ in short, there must be a verbal war, but there must be no real war.
If you just read the secret letter, Lu Wenhuan was really shocked, and even asked him to take the initiative to provoke the Tatar army!
This is not a joke, once a large team of people is attracted, all the cash crops on the Xiangyang Plain will be finished, and what is even more terrifying is that if you start a war, the entire Lu family may be finished------ but if you don't obey Jia Pingzhang's orders, can his Lu family still have a good life?
Jia Pingzhang is a character who prospers with me and perishes with me.
However, the words of the secret envoy made him understand Jia Pingzhang's intentions, and more importantly, he also saw the benefits that his Lu family might want to get!
It was already dark, and he paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and the sizzling kerosene lamp illuminated the whole study as if it were day.
As early as the beginning of Jin's entry into the Central Plains, there was a provincial system in the northern region, that is, the establishment of Xingshangshu Province in other places, but it was short-lived.
The provincial system of the Tatar bandit group was inherited from the province of Xingshangshu of the Jin State.
In fact, they have always been imitating gold to implement the provincial system.
In the beginning, it was, like the Jin State, a kind of temporary agency dispatched by the central government.
Later, due to various factors such as war, the province also began to intervene in local government affairs, and gradually became the highest level of local administrative area.
Up to now, due to the tension of the war, they still use the original administrative divisions, and even the official names and uniforms have not changed.
As long as you can manage the local area and pay them all kinds of taxes.
On this day, Sun Zhizhou's eyelids jumped heavily when he woke up in the morning------ he thought he had thought too much last night.
Now he can't help but think about it more.
Huazhou was originally a state town dominated by dry land, mainly growing wheat, or in the Jin Dynasty, it was considered a fourth-class state, and the taxes at that time were far less than now.
But who knows that after the Great Khan came, where did he care about the first and fourth classes, all of them were paid in full, and those who paid enough for three consecutive years could be promoted, and those who paid insufficient for three consecutive years were dismissed and punished with whipping!
Sun Zhizhou's first two terms were dismissed like this------ Sun Zhizhou was terrified every time he walked through the gate of the state ya, this is the place where the two governors have been whipped, and the screams of the peers seem to be heard all the time.
After Sun Zhizhou's family arrived here, he felt great regret in his heart, if he gave the Hui people more money, maybe he would send a good place for himself as an official------ he looked at the tattered state office, and then looked at the yellow-skinned people on the street, and the only shops were also cold.
His wife has been to see it, and it is a county town that is not as good as Zhongjing Road------ which is not as good as Zhongjing Road!
On their first night at the state office, they ate cornmeal flatbread and vegetable soup, and a few steamed sweet potatoes.
To be honest, this stuff is filling, but it's not very tasty.
Sun Zhizhou shook his head at the dinner table and said: "The Great Khan is a heavenly and auspicious man, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the good food that God gave to the people of the Great Khan------ have you ever known that the corn can also feed the horses------ so how many people's wheat seedlings have been wasted!" ”
The sweet potato is still sweet, and the corn flatbread is too unpalatable.
His wife asked, "Isn't there a lot of wheat here, why don't you see white flour?" ”
Sun Zhizhou shook his head and swallowed a bite of cake with difficulty.
The people are no longer the novelty when they first saw corn------ in the end it is not as delicious as white flour, the white flour has long been levied by the Great Khan, according to the state officials, the entire Huazhou area may not have ten catties!
His son was bitter and didn't want to eat tortillas.
Sun Zhizhou's face was upright, and his eyes were fierce.
"Corn flour is edible for the people, why can't we eat it?! ------ even the Great Khan has eaten it------ you taste it well, is the corn tortilla or the white flour cake delicious?! ”
His son was frightened by him and whimpered and forced that the cornmeal was delicious.
Sun Zhizhou looked victorious------ but he couldn't overcome his stomach and intestines------ it hurt raw, as if the corn tortilla was too hard.
No matter how hard life is, you can still get by------ but if you can't pay taxes, you can't get by.
