Ye Zhuo has been here for so long, true and false have said so much to get to the point, after listening to him finally spit out such a sentence, Tang Cheng, who put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up, walked to Tu Yezhuo and sat down, looked at him with a smile and said: "During the term of office of this official, I will not guide the Tiancheng army to step into the Longmen grassland, and as long as you can pay taxes in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, the current management method will remain unchanged, and the grassland will still be governed by you and the Xi people." Update the latest chapter so, Patriarch Tuye is still satisfied? ”。

"Oh, Tang County's order is really generous!".

"Yes, this official is indeed generous", Tang Cheng sighed deeply, and the fingers of his left hand struck a rhythmic sound on the desk between the two, "The whole world is not the king's land, this official guards the dragon gate on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it is a matter of course for the people to lead one side, but now he has given up the right to govern half of the people to the patriarch, why is it not generous?" ”。

"Tang County Ling is worthy of being a Jinshi and spit lotus flowers", at this moment of substantive condition exchange, it is really out of place to come back to the previous clumsy trick of getting angry when he disagrees, Tu Yezhuo naturally would not do such a thing, but although he was not angry, the sarcasm in his words was obviously much stronger, "Maybe I should remind you that these things you promised just now have long been enjoyed by your clan, and Tang County Ling has already owned what your clan has already owned in exchange for relief of grain and grass, manpower accumulation, and even taxes after that, Such calculations are too insincere."

Tang Cheng didn't go toe-to-toe with him, "If the patriarch of Tu Ye really has this idea, why did he come to the county seat in the wind and cold?" Why do you have to talk so much nonsense in this county", the hand that knocked lightly on the table raised and shook it gently, "It's not kind to say this now, everything before is not something that you should have for granted, whether it is in the court system or the law, there is no basis for it, in short, what you have before is illegal." It's just that the previous county magistrates didn't take care of it, and they ...... here in this county", at this point, Tang Chengxiao looked at Tu Yezhuo and stopped talking.

Tang Cheng's words are very scoundrels, at least in Tu Yezhuo's ears, but these scoundrel words in his land occupy the name of righteousness, and there is no argument at all, and Tu Yezhuo doesn't want to argue with him, "Tang County Order is easy to say about employing people this time, no matter how much manpower is to be mobilized, the clan should undertake it, and this time the drought is not a grain of grain from the county government, but I hope that Tang County's order can still follow the old example in the matter of tax land", after saying this, Tu Yezhuo also smiled, it was a very confident smile, "As for what autonomy is not autonomous, The clan doesn't care much about this, and if the county magistrate doesn't bother with it, he will come and govern it himself."

"No", when it comes to this specific interest, Tang Cheng will not back down at all, and the threat with deep meaning at the end of Tu Yezhuo was directly ignored by him, "Cash-for-work is the general charter of this office, and all the people in Longmen County will have relief food when they come to work, and the Tang people will treat them equally, so don't you feel a sense of gratitude to the emperor for the loyalty of the court, but it is not that the county does not give it; This disaster relief is treated equally, and how can there be an exception in the payment of taxes? The patriarch can not give food, but the official, as the head of a county, has no right not to pay taxes. There is a world of difference between the two, and they should not be confused. As for the governance of the Longmen grassland, if the patriarch feels cumbersome, but the duties of the official cannot be shirked, it is not hidden, and it is this matter that the Japanese county thinks about every day, and the official firmly believes that the people of the grassland can understand the righteousness, and can they really do the thing of killing officials and rebelling? When he said this last sentence, Tang Cheng laughed and deliberately diluted the strong bloody atmosphere.

After waiting quietly for a while, seeing that Tu Yezhuo didn't say anything, Tang Chengfu tapped his finger on the desk again and said with a smile: "Or there is another way, the patriarch of Tu Ye can go to the court to ask for the return of Rao Lexi, and after leaving the jurisdiction of Longmen, it will not be a problem."

Hearing this, Tu Yezhuo turned his head sharply and stared at Tang Cheng tightly.

"This official knows that the patriarch of Tuye is reluctant", Tang Cheng took away all the previous official tone and smile, and said in an extraordinarily clear voice with Tu Yezhuo's eyes: "In just a few decades, the Longmen Xi people have grown from less than 3,000 people to more than 20,000 people today, the tribe is prosperous, and the wealth and goods are accumulated. Once you return to the Raole Xi Department, you not only have to offer cattle and sheep to the Xi Wang's tooth tent that are far better than the taxes paid by the dynasty, but also have to face the tribal internal annexation and fighting, although the group of more than 20,000 people is indeed not small, but what is it to put it on the Raole grassland? With an ethnic group of more than 20,000 people, can they still keep the Longmen grassland, which everyone covets? And once the Longmen Grassland, which is the window for Rao Le to connect with the outside world, how can the Tuye patriarch still take advantage of trade in the middle? Therefore, for the Longmen Xi people, the identity directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court is the real greatest wealth, this identity not only guarantees security, but also guarantees a steady stream of wealth, once lost, everything existing in Longmen Xi people will be lost. Over the years, the Longmen Xi people have received so many benefits from the imperial court and the county government, it is not too much for the official to pay the taxes he should pay, right? ”。

During this time, Tang Cheng was almost always singing a one-man show. But it wasn't until he turned over the most important hole card. Tu Yezhuo let out a deep sigh in his heart.

When Tang Cheng was backed by as many as 8,000 people, Tiancheng became a border army. And clearly understand the lifeline of Longmen Xiren. Tu Yezhuo had no other choice at all.

"Good. all

The county order said that the local office should be done". After a long silence. Tu Yezhuo finally spoke, this is just a personal agreement between the clan and you. Once you're gone. Today's covenant is void.

Tang County ordered that it should be prayed to the wolf god not to lose his official position."

"This official never believed in the wolf god. However, the patriarch of Tuye wants to think about how to explain to the history of the cow thorn. I guess what you and I agreed on today is not to make your lord want to hear it."

"Sure enough, he is a smart person, what Niu Zude wants to hear most now is the news of the chaos in my clan, and then intervene in the situation, and then the Longmen County Order should be replaced."

It was really surprising to say such words from Tu Ye Zhuo's mouth, and Tang Cheng was an exception, but although he was surprised, he was not surprised, "Oh, since there is such a good opportunity, why don't Patriarch Tu Ye give it a try?" ”。

"Why don't I think that if thirty or fifty people can accomplish this, why should I go on this trip to bring humiliation on myself? It's a pity, your hands are too ruthless", Tu Yezhuo looked at Tang Cheng and shook his head with a sigh, "I don't know how many clansmen's lives will be taken to accomplish this, and the blood-stained grassland?" Of course Niu Zude didn't care, but I, the patriarch, couldn't help but feel distressed. It's all just a deal, so why do you have to shed blood if you can talk about it? ”。

"Well said", Tang Cheng laughed, "But this can't be said in front of Niu Thorn Shi, how is the patriarch going to explain?" ”。

"Why do you want to confess? Is it really that easy to let Longmen Xi people return to Rao Le? Surrendering the people under his rule to others, can the court do such a thing with a clean face? Since Niu Zude can't do this, and he doesn't have a Tiancheng army to rely on, why does his clan need to explain to him? In such a naked interest negotiation, Tu Yezhuo is bluntly terrible, "It's just a transaction, and in this transaction, Niu Zude needs his own family more."

Tang Cheng understood the meaning behind his words, in the trade between the two of them, Longmen Xi did have an advantage, because of the huge difference in productivity and trade show level, Longmen Xi had many channels to get Tang goods, but if he lost the channel of Longmen Grassland, it would be much more difficult for Niu Zude to get a large number of cheap northern goods. The advantage of Longmen Xiren is based on the imbalance in the level of this trade show, and this is also the root cause of Tu Ye Zhuo daring to ignore Niu Zude at a critical moment.

It's really funny to think about it, Tu Yezhuo doesn't care about the history of the > state, but he has to accept the conditions of the county order under his state, and the only difference is that the eight thousand days of army.

This is the basis for him to be able to talk to Tu Yezhuo like just now, it is the strength guarantee that he can be a real Longmen County Order, and it is also the only thing that Tu Yezhuo is afraid of.

Without the 8,000-day army, he would be nothing in Longmen, and he would not even be able to see the map like the previous county commanders, let alone let him take the initiative to come to the door. This was unimaginable in the previous Longmen County Ya.

In the final analysis, it is a sentence: everything he does in Longmen is based on the alliance with the Tiancheng Army, which is also the most correct thing he has done since he took office, and the best thing is that there is a background of the separation of the military and government of Hebei Province and the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, as long as there are enough interests to bind, even his top boss Niu Zude cannot destroy this alliance with the border army system.

Benefits, bundles! The more Tang Cheng made up his mind in his heart, the sooner the Tiancheng Army cultivated the earth, the better, only the faster and more the earth was cultivated, the deeper the binding of this interest would be.

When Tu Yezhuo left, Tang Cheng didn't send it too far, and as soon as he left the official room, Tu Yezhuo and his subordinates Cudo and others were wrapped in a wind that could cover most of their faces, just like when they came, and left silently all the way.

As soon as Tu Yezhuo left, Yang Jiao and the three of them, who were waiting outside the official room, gathered around Tang Cheng, and Qian Sanscar, who was closest to him, took the lead in asking, "My lord, what is he doing here?" ”。

Tang Cheng didn't directly answer Qian Sanscar's question, but looked sideways at Yang Jiao, "We originally agreed that all the big animals requisitioned from the Tang people would be allocated to the Tiancheng army, and we couldn't let Jia Duwei transfer military horses to pull the carts. As for the animal power required by the headquarters, it will be requisitioned from the grasslands."

"Requisitioned from the steppe?" , Rao is Yang Jiao's mind is alive enough, and he can't help but be stunned when he hears this, "Then how to calculate their relief grain?" ”。

"This winter's drought, Tu Yezhuo sympathized with the difficulties of Ben Ya and resolutely gave up the relief of grain, so Mr. Yang can rest assured that these people only work and do not need food."

Hearing this, Qian Sanscar's eyes suddenly became the size of a bull's eye, and Jia Xu, who was listening to it, felt a clanging sound in his brain, as if he had been smashed with a sledgehammer and was stunned, is this world changed or is it stupid, it is scary enough for the county lord to mobilize them to work, and it is still a waste of no food?

Just when Jia Xu's hammer hadn't woken up yet, Tang Cheng's bigger hammer smashed down one after another, "Jia Lushi, this matter of requisitioning documents will be handed over to you, and after you are busy with these things at hand, I will supervise Hu Cao to sort out the rent and tax amount that should be paid by Xi Min in this county as soon as possible, this is a complicated matter, it is better to start it early, so as not to be in time to use it next year."

"My lord, Xi Manzi...... True...... Do you really have to pay taxes? Under the shock, Qian Sanscar, who was staring at him like a copper bell, stammered when he spoke.

Tang Cheng pursed the smile lines that almost overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his face full of surprise

asked rhetorically in a serious tone: "Xi people are also the people of Longmen, isn't it a matter of course, Sanscar, your question is really weird."

I ask weirdly? Qian San looked at Tang Cheng blankly, this time not only his eyes widened, but he also forgot to close his open mouth.

"Okay", among the three, Yang Jiao reacted the fastest, and his laughter also woke up the stunned Qian Sanscar and Jia Xu, "Tu Yezhuo is so generous, the harvest must be indispensable, I don't know what Mingfu promised him?" ”。

His question also made Jia Xu and Qian Sanscar's hearts brighten, yes, Xi Manzi is greedy, since he can spend such a lot of money this time, and even pay taxes, how much benefit do you have to collect to go back before you are willing to be willing?

"The ultimate official will never guide the Tiancheng army to never set foot in the Longmen grassland, in addition, the grassland affairs are still governed by the Xi people according to the old practice, except for tax collection, the county government does not interfere in it", a sigh, Tang Cheng was quite regretful, "Manpower is sometimes poor, after all, the strength of the county government is too weak, and it can only be so!" ”。

That's it...... That's all! Qian Sanscar can't describe how he feels, Tianchengjun can really kill the Longmen Grassland casually? As for the autonomy of the Xi people, this is even more ridiculous, those barbarians live in tents and run with water and grass, and they don't even have a fixed place to live all year round, so how can they manage it if they let the county government manage it? With such an idea as the county government, people can't manage it if they break their legs. Not to mention Longmen, that is, the imperial court's treatment of the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion and the Songmo Governor's Mansion, the gathering place of the Khitans, and what room is there in the Wei Du Governor's Mansion and the Haidu Governor's Mansion of the people, aren't they all left to their own affairs?

What is the difference between agreeing to these two conditions and not agreeing? The county zun used such a condition to fool the three-year-old milk child in exchange for so many tangible benefits, and it was actually "only like this", which is too greedy.

At this moment, he heard the bell ringing outside, Tang Cheng was worried about the original chicken soup that Zheng Lingyi repeatedly explained when he went to the yagong at noon, and there was no urgent official business at hand at hand, so he didn't stay longer, "Everything is also known, if you have something to do, go back and rest if you have nothing to do, these days are really tired", after speaking, he waved his hand to the three of them and walked to the back of the ya.

He left, leaving Jia Xu and Qian Sanscar, you look at me, I will look at you again, and then the two of them turned to look at Yang Jiao.

"No, there will be blessings in the land of suffering, the people of the Tang people in Longmen have suffered for many years, and finally waited for the blessing of Tang Ming Mansion, and the reincarnation of heaven is not happy after all", looking at Tang Cheng's back, Yang Jiao shook his head with a smile, "If I hadn't seen it myself, I really didn't believe that a person of this age could do such a thing, I would wait and do it with all my heart, so I want to see where I can go after all."

After Yang Jiao said this, he deliberately explained to Qian Sanscar, "Tiancheng Army is in charge of the central contact, you must be careful and careful in this matter, and there must be no mistakes", after emphasizing, he didn't explain anything and walked leisurely.

"Boss, what do you mean by Mr. Yang?"

"You and I are just errands, why do you want to do so much", Jia Xu slapped Qian Sanscar on his face in confusion, "It's right to follow Tang Xianzun, you just need to remember this."

…………………………………………

Because of the guidance of the strong county and the establishment of the political style of the new land of Longmen County, coupled with the extraordinarily busy during this time, the local clerks in the east courtyard gradually developed a new habit, although the Shangya is no longer late, and the bell of the Sanya is not in a hurry to leave, more or less always stay and wait for a while before leaving, so as not to have any urgent official business, and today is no exception.

After Jia Xu walked into the official room of Hu Cao in the East Courtyard, he didn't go to the judge of Ben Cao, but went to the side of a scribe's book case nearby, "Prepare a proclamation for Xi Min's recruitment."

During this time, there were a lot of things like writing proclamations, and the scribes were already accustomed to it, and when they were about to write after taking the bamboo paper, they suddenly raised their heads and asked with a confused face, "Who did the recorder just say that this proclamation was written for?" ”。

"Xi Min", just these two words suddenly made the open office room instantly quiet pin drop can be heard, whether it is busy or idle scribes without exception, without exception, there is a look of ghost on their faces, except for doubt.

The performance of these scribes made Jia Xu feel a lot of comfort in his heart, "The Xi people on the Longmen grassland don't know, what is it?" ”。

"Yes", the clerk who had woken up agreed and peeked at Jia Xu's face, he wanted to see if the master who had joined the army was joking with him.

Give Xi people a proclamation! In the face of such an unheard of thing, the poor scribe could not find a better explanation than a joke......

…………………………………………

Just when it was about to get dark that night, Jia Gongcha, who had gone to the state government to urgently submit the documents for relief, came back with the news that the relief grain was about to be shipped. It was also on this night that 1,100 people from the first part of the Tiancheng Army, who were thinking about their family's land, rushed to Longmen County.

At this point, after dealing with the affairs of the "backyard", Tang Cheng's Longmen County Exhibition plan has finally reached the stage where everything is ready, and his changed ideals are finally about to take the first step in practice.
