Looking at Feng Longzhi's age, about fifty years old, it is estimated in turn that ten years ago, he was not confused, and he once held a high position in the crown prince's Taibao, and he should be a highly respected former minister, no wonder all the families and heroes want to jointly recommend him to see him.

Thinking like this, Yang Guang's attitude towards Feng Longzhi became more respectful, and invited him to watch the tea on the side, Fang asked him with a smiling face: "The elder is here, I don't know why I want to see this king?" ”

Feng Longzhi didn't get up, he arched his hand to Yang Guang in the seat, and replied: "I waited for the state to gather in the state and ask to see the prince, first, to congratulate the prince on his first arrival in the state, to defeat the Turks and recover the lost territory, and secondly, to send a small gift to the prince." ”

Yang Guang saw that Feng Longzhi was a little reserved, and he was also disrespectful in holding courtesy, but when he heard him say that this trip was to congratulate and give gifts to himself, not to ask for Ding Zhuang as he had guessed before, he couldn't help but feel relieved, hugged his fists and returned a salute, and said humbly: "This king patrols the hunting side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people. When this king had not yet left Beijing, he had heard his father say that the Kanto family was upright and virtuous, and today it was ...... like this."

Feng Longzhi sat and listened to Yang Guang's words of praising the Kwantung family, and he was not humble enough to excuse himself, and then explained to Yang Guang: "The old man just said to His Royal Highness the King of Jin that he wanted to give a thin gift, which is ashamed. Seriously, this is really not a gift, but to pay the rent and transfer to the imperial court in advance for this year. ”

"Why is this to pay a year's rent and transfer to the imperial court in advance?" Yang Guang's heart moved, as if he had an understanding, and asked casually.

"It's only because the state government offices have recently asked me and other families about the abandonment of the famine this spring, and we and other generals have no choice but to prepare this small gift, gather and merge with the state, and come to personally present it to His Highness, in order to show our loyalty to the imperial court of the Kwantung family." Feng Longzhi looked directly at Yang Guang with his eyes and said earnestly.

After talking for a long time, these dozens of representatives of the Kanto family gathered and merged with the state, and they still came for the matter of abandoning the wasteland. At this point, Yang Guangcai suddenly realized.

"The elder is too worried." Yang Guang was patient and persuaded Feng Longzhi, "The abandonment of the famine is related to the people's livelihood, and the state government offices are advising farmers and mulberries according to the law, which is a very common thing, why do you force me to ask?" The elders and the wealthy right of the family have received this heart, but this generous gift can never be accepted, and the elder is also bothered to tell the wealthy right of the family that the Turks have repeatedly invaded, and they are really the common enemy of our Chinese officials and people, recruiting Ding Zhuang to join the army to resist the Turkic invasion, and the root of it is also to protect the territory and the people, and ensure that the wealth accumulated by you for generations is not looted by the Turkic Hukou, and it has nothing to do with abandonment. ”

Feng Longzhi smiled and responded unmoved: "Since the prince first mentioned the recruitment of Ding Zhuang to join the army, the old man might as well tell the truth: Before we and others gathered and merged with the state, we have already paid the one-year rent to the imperial court and transferred it to the state government offices. A few months ago, when His Royal Highness recruited troops on the spot, we remembered that the Turks were rampant at that time, so we did not stop the slaves and customers at home from enlisting in the army, and now the lost land of Baidaozhou has been recovered, and the imperial army has also returned from Liaodong to merge the state, if these people are not strictly ordered to return to their hometowns and return to farming, the old man is worried that in the long run, no one will be willing to work honestly in the fields. ”

Yang Guang insisted on not disbanding the tens of thousands of new troops recruited on the spot, in fact, he focused on the northwest battlefield once reinforcements were urgently needed, and he personally led this new army to aid the northwest, but he did not expect that there were many slaves who were not free in this newly recruited army.

Hearing what Feng Longzhi said, he not only took into account the overall situation of the imperial court's recruitment of troops to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, but also moved out of the master and servant etiquette that had been followed for hundreds of years, and it was indeed not easy for him to refute him face to face. Yang Guang's tone also softened, and explained to Feng Longzhi truthfully: "The elder doesn't know, although the Turks outside the Guanwai have temporarily retreated, but the main force of the Northwest Turks has invaded Guanzhong, once the imperial court has something to do in the northwest, this new army of Hebei is still needed to rush to the northwest to relieve the eyebrows, so this king still retains this new army." As far as this king knows, the area around Hebei has always been a place where the people live, and even if there are 30,000 or 20,000 Ding Zhuang, it will never reach the point where no one cultivates the land......"

Before Yang Guang finished speaking, Feng Longzhi stood up excitedly, interrupted Yang Guang, and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, let me ask, if these people around you run to a foreign country to enlist in the army, what should you do?" Is the rule of master and servant handed down from generation to generation by our ancestors just ignored like this? ”

Seeing Feng Longzhi yelling so rudely in front of Yang Guang, Zhang Xutuo and Xian Yuluo stepped forward in unison, and they were about to force him out of the meeting hall.

"Stand down."

Yang Guangsheng blushed and retreated the two guards, and when he pondered, Fang reluctantly said to Feng Longzhi: "What the elder said is indeed about the etiquette of the master and servant, how dare this king ignore it?" However, in ancient times, there was also a saying that military merits redeemed one's body, in order to take into account the needs of all parties, today the king and the elders made an agreement face to face: in the new army, all those who are in the slave state, unless they have made major military merits, will be listed by the families, and after the king sends someone to verify, they will be handed over to the original owner for good birth. How is it? ”

He claimed to be a dignified vassal king who guarded one side, and in the face of the aggressive questioning of an old minister of the previous dynasty for many years, he was able to take the initiative to make such a compromise and concession, which had given Feng Longzhi great affection, and after the wealthy right of the Kanto family represented by Feng Longzhi got his personal promise, there was no reason not to resume farming.

Unexpectedly, Feng Longzhi heard that Yang Guang had made a compromise to him in person, and although he nodded at him with satisfaction, he made another request: "On behalf of all the people outside the government office, thank you Your Highness for accepting the whole." The old man didn't dare to hope that the prince could make a note and promise to send the slaves of each family back to his hometown, but he begged the prince to behead one person to show his integrity. ”

"Oh?" Yang Guang glanced at Feng Long very unhappily, and asked with three points of curiosity, "I don't know who the elder wants this king to kill, and what crime he has committed, so that the elder wants him to pay for his life?" ”

This person was originally a customer of the old man's family, and his name was Luo Yi. Not only did he enlist in the army without authorization behind the old man's back, but in order to escape, he killed two house slaves who wanted to stop him before he ran away from the old man's house. Such a fierce and evil person, the old man wants His Highness to behead him to show his integrity, His Highness will not refuse, right? Feng Long's eyes showed a cold light, and he gritted his teeth and said.
