The commanding envoy's mansion was busy, and the servants and servants were all chaotically called by Li Changyue.

The young master is about to get married, and the family members and servants are sincerely happy.

Su Xiaomei didn't dare to go out anymore, she hid in the boudoir all day long and made wedding clothes by herself, there was joy in her heart, but also complicated, and she resolutely followed Li Chuan to Jinshanwei at that time, although she never regretted it, but when it came to the end, she still couldn't avoid gains and losses.

The two live in the same courtyard, and getting married is just a formality.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is simply a cover-up.

Even if Li Chuan doesn't care, Su Xiaomei, as a person of this era and grew up with Confucian education, how can she be as open as Li Chuan, and it is inevitable to suffer from gains and losses, so she is a little afraid of seeing people when things come to an end.

The maid Ping'er followed Wang Guihua and Wu Niang and a group of other women to decorate the new house, and they were busy with great interest.

Li Chuan was also a little excited, he lived two lives, but it turned out that it was the first time that the flower girl went to the sedan chair.

And in order to make Su Xiaomei feel at ease, he has personally done many things, how to arrange the bride, arrange the route to welcome the relatives, etc., have put forward a lot of requirements, which shows that he attaches great importance to it, which makes Su Xiaomei a little happy.

"Little sister, is it appropriate for me to wear this happy dress?"

Li Chuan twisted his body, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The wedding dress is bright red, and it is too dazzling to wear on the body.

Su Xiaomei smiled: "It looks very energetic, and the clothes are like this." ”

Li Chuan pinched his nose and said, "Okay, if you want to feel spiritual, then I'll wear it." ”

Ping'er said happily: "Master, do you want to embroider two mandarin ducks again?" ”

"No, that's fine."

Li Chuan hurriedly shook his head, the clothes were already very eye-catching, and then embroidered two mandarin ducks, thinking about it was a bit sissy.

accompanied Su Xiaomei for a while, and the family came to report, and Lu Congliang asked to see her.

Li Chuan went to the front yard and listened to Lu Congliang's report on the progress of the statistics of population and acres.

"Several adults are very cooperative, so that the family took the initiative to send the roster, the lower officials have carefully counted, the number of households and population error is not large, a total of about 16,218 households, there are 100,633 mouths, but it is a little troublesome to measure the acres of land, if all the measurements are completed, it is estimated that it will take at least a month."

Li Chuan asked, "How many fields have been recovered?" ”

Lu Congliang replied: "Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and twenty-one acres. ”

Li Chuan glanced at him and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Lu Congliang's face changed, and cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead, he thought that this new commander was too young, and he should not be as knowledgeable as those old oilmen in the officialdom, and it should be no problem to leave some retreat by himself, but he didn't want this commander who had not yet reached the crown to see through his plan at a glance, and he was scared into a cold sweat at that time.

"The lower official is guilty, please punish the adult."

Lu Congliang no longer dared to leave anything to chance, and hurriedly confessed.

"That's it."

Li Chuan waved his hand and said: "This officialdom is like a quagmire, it's not wrong to leave a way back for yourself, and this official doesn't expect you to die on the ground, forgive you for your innocence." How much is the error in the number of acres? ”

Lu Congliang smiled bitterly in his heart, where did he dare to hide it, and said: "It's about seven thousand acres." Several adults have left a little bit of land, and some of the fields occupied by 100 households and sub-100 households have not been recovered for the time being. ”

Li Chuan paced under the hall with his hands in his hands, thinking about the gains and losses.

Lu Congliang didn't dare to scratch, stood aside and waited, his eyes moving back and forth as Li Chuan walked.

After a while, Li Chuan said: "Even if the officials with more than 1,000 households can hand over more than ninety percent of the fields and population, the official is not an unreasonable person, and it is nothing to leave some land, as for those hundred households and deputy hundred households, leave them alone for the time being." ”

"The subordinate obeys."

Lu Congliang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt less of a headache.

Although he was surprised by the land and population that those adults handed over, the remaining 100 households and deputy 100 households refused to hand over the fields and population, which also gave him a headache.

Most of those who took the initiative to hand over the fields were made some kind of deal with the commander.

Those who refused to hand over the fields were all 100 households and deputy 100 households, and these officials were not qualified to make transactions with the commanders, but how could they easily spit out the fat in their mouths, so those 100 households and deputy 100 households refused to hand over the fields.

Lu Congliang was afraid that the commander would not know the severity, so he directly ordered it to be forcibly withdrawn, and those hundred households and deputy hundred households would definitely not be able to sit still, and most of them would cause chaos at that time, and I was afraid that it would not end well.

Fortunately, although the commander is young, he still has some means to do things.

"The recovered fields and military households will be handed over to you for the time being."

Li Chuan instructed: "Tell those military households that from next year, the tax on the fields will be reduced to 20%, and as long as the court does not take back the fields for a day, the tax will not rise again, unless someone replaces the commander of the Jin Shanwei of the official." ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Lu Congliang hurriedly responded, just buying people's hearts, nothing strange.

Li Chuan said again: "Use more snacks, the military household is not having a good time, the official doesn't want anyone to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, the officials also have to support their families, the official can be considerate, but not insatiable." Those who dare to exploit military households will not be spared lightly. ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the lower officials will not disappoint your adults."

Lu Congliang was in high spirits when he heard this, and hurriedly received his order.

Taking care of the recovered fields and military households, although they can no longer reap the benefits, they have real power, which is much better than only doing some paperwork before, which is equivalent to having the functions and powers of two fellow intellectuals and servants.

As long as you do a good job, you are not afraid of commanding adults not to promote themselves.

Lu Congliang is full of energy and ready to perform.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that the reason why he would use him was because this new commander really didn't have any available people under his command, otherwise how could this real power be his turn.

After ten years in Jinshanwei, I finally waited for the opportunity.

Although he kept telling himself to be calm, Lu Congliang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, the desire for power and the taste of his wish made his mood complicated and incomprehensible, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

sent Lu Congliang away, and Li Chuan went out of the city to the barracks again.

It's been five days since the 3,000 soldiers were trained, and it's time to go and see it.

It was lunchtime, and eating was taking place in the barracks.

Lunch is white rice, the dish is fatty meat dishes, although the big pot rice can not pursue quality, but the oil meat is full of use, not only large pieces of fat pork, but also chicken, duck and fish, etc., half of the meat bowls of the soldiers are meat.

Hundreds of years later, people see that fat meat tastes greasy.

But in this era, the first choice of those military strong people is fat and oily fatty meat, and the second choice is lean meat, after eating pork, they will go to chicken and duck meat, and finally fish, which can be seen that it is difficult for military households to eat pork.
