Yanzhou, eerie July. \\\\

The preparations for the imperial examination in the autumn were carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhaowen Academy, and the counties under the two prefectures of Yanqing began to enter the preliminary examination procedures one after another, and the supervisors of Fenglin Academy sent out one after another, the oldest of these invigilators was only eighteen years old, and the youngest was only nine years old. There were forty-one supervising officers in the second phase of the Liutao Pavilion who dropped out of school in July, and Wei Xun sent most of them out this time.

The work of clearing the land of the households and measuring the land was also progressing slowly under the impetus of the government at all levels, although reluctantly, Gao Yao, Han Wang and other powerful people of the Yanzhou family had to pinch their noses and spit out the land they had acquired by cleverly grabbing and annexing in the past few decades as a new mu tax system. In this land reform, the Yanzhou clan suffered a fatal blow even more than Li Wenge's replacement of the Gao family as the town of Yanzhou Jiedu. This reform directly shook the foundation of the power of the four major families in Yanzhou in the northwest of Guanzhong.

In the past two years, the influx of a large number of displaced people has changed the population composition of Yanzhou, and the situation of the original powerful forces has been completely reversed in the past two years, and a large number of displaced people who have lost their land have now accounted for more than eighty percent of the permanent population of Yanqing and Yanqing, and less than half of these displaced people are currently or will be put into agricultural projects for public land reclamation, and most of the others, except for a very small part of them who have joined the army and become soldiers, have entered various government-run or commercial-run workshops, workshops, sheds, camps, and merchants. Strictly speaking, these people have actually been freed from the shackles of the land, and in the near future, they will be transformed into a social class of scale and system, and this system will completely change the basic structure of Yanzhou society......

Although the civil officials of the state town collectively demonstrated to the mayor of the town in panic and indignation, the relatively high level of education and the inertia formed over a long period of time still drove them to perform their duties and share their duties. Many of them may not have the element of anger in their hearts, but they want to let the irresponsible and obedient general see that he is not the Li butcher. Do the people of Yanzhou have to eat hairy pigs?

Zhou Zhengyu, who was also a little politically overwhelmed, was not idle, although Li Wenge took away the financial control over ironwork and carpentry and basic scientific research units, but the big steward of Fenglin Mountain is devoting all his physical and mental energy to another grand engineering project---- at the end of this month. A 1,000-strong battalion of land reclamation will leave Yanzhou and head north to Xiazhou under the escort of soldiers from the Eighth Route Army, and they will build rows and rows of chicken coops on the moist and fertile soil on both sides of the upper reaches of the Wuding River, taking advantage of the favorable geographical conditions of the local area to raise an intimidating and insignificant creature--- earthworm.

After the large-scale breeding and breeding of earthworms has formed a scale. They will build a large chicken farm on the banks of the Wuding River that has never been seen in this era of small-scale peasant economy.

Li Wenge had no plans to develop animal husbandry on a large scale for the time being---- and those who were good at this local party were now alienated from the military and political authorities in Yanzhou, until a thorough class struggle was carried out to break down the barriers of aristocracy and slavery. For the time being, Li Wenge was not prepared to use these people for any production or war purposes. Despite this, the poultry farming project that has been planned for a long time has been in full swing after acquiring the Wuding River, the largest non-seasonal river in the northwest.

A famous phrase uttered by Li Wenge at the meeting at which the project was launched was constantly relayed in the breeding corps of 1,000 men, women, and children, and the shameless traverser exaggerated lyrical in an almost saintly tone: "I have a dream...... At this time next year, every child under the age of 10 will be able to eat one chicken a day

But whether it is Li Bin, Qin Gu or even Zhou Zhengyu, they are not the busiest people at the end of July of the third year of Guangshun. Baidu: UC eBook Of course, the latest person will not be Li Wenge, who is currently in the middle of resigning with his girlfriend and running into the mountains to conduct basic chemical experiments, and the core members of the future Northern Tang Dynasty government unanimously admit that the busiest person during this period is Wei Xunwei, the leader of the Eighth Route Army.

Detaining the imperial court's envoys without asking for instructions, such a daring thing to do, once he gets busy, it is indeed a chilling thing.

The situation in Yanzhou Prefecture was still the same, and Wei Xun, no matter how bold he was, did not dare to send troops into the city without Li Wenge's warrant, although he wanted to. Li Wenge's treatment of Li Hu a few months ago is still fresh in my memory. In this section of military law as a principle, he made his subordinates serve as soldiers. If you want to do something out of the ordinary, you can only find a way to find loopholes and gaps in military law, instead of directly challenging the red threads hanging above Takeo's head without any technical tricks.

On the day when the edict envoy went up the mountain. Wei Xun sent four messengers in succession to deliver messages to Shen Chen, Xifeng Minda, Lu Xun, and Li Hu. The difference is that the messengers sent in the direction of Gyeongju and Hatao only deliver letters, but the messengers sent in the direction of Kiosan and Yooju have the power to dismiss the messenger at the moment. The messenger who sent the letter to Lu Xun was ordered to communicate with Lu Xun's supervising officer before delivering the letter to Lu Xun, while the messenger in the direction of Qiwu Mountain carried with him a full set of honor guards given to Shen Chen by Bianliang.

In the past few days, Wei Xun almost immediately summoned all the officers above the rank of captain and captain of Yanzhou to talk, and what shocked everyone was that this leader of the supervisory army, who had basically not directly participated in combat operations, was able to casually tell each interlocutor's combat experience and meritorious service in the conversation.

In the past few days, two checkpoints have been set up on several roads leading to the Sifang in Yanzhou Prefecture to strictly check passers-by and merchants. In the city, Li Bin's Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Gu's Changshi Office, the Judge's Office of the article, the county government of Fushi County, and the county government of Yan'an County all appeared more or less around the figure of regimental training. Without an order, of course these regiments did not dare to really do anything to these big people, but this kind of surveillance is not so much surveillance, but it is almost a naked threat---- the most obvious example is that Tao Shilang, who announced the edict to Li Bin, never dared to come out after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Even Zhou Zhengyu, the nominal No. 2 person in the Eighth Route Army, is now under the strict supervision of the Military Supervision Department, not to mention the civilian officials in Yanzhou?

The independent cavalry battalion of the security regiment has maintained a state of first-class combat readiness these days, and 300 soldiers and horses patrol around the state every day.

July 31, the third year of Guangshun. Wei Xun convened a meeting of senior officers in the name of the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who stayed in Fenglin Mountain.

The highest rank of the people attending this meeting of senior officers was the guerrilla general Zhi Yuqing, who was the commander of the Tongzhi Duyu Marquis, and in descending order, Ling Pu, the commander of the Yanzhou regiment, was the commander of the training envoy of the Yanzhou regiment. Liang Xuan, the commander of the Yan'an Regiment and the commander of Luziguan, the commander of the Zhiguo School, Lou Shaowu, the commander of the Yanzhou Regiment Training and Supervision Army, and the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Du Yu Housi, and the commander of the Eighth Route Army, Cao Zhiguo, the deputy lieutenant of the fruit. Niu Tieshan, deputy lieutenant of the Yan'an Regiment Supervision Army, Cao Zhiguo, the deputy lieutenant of the Eighth Route Army, and Kang Shishi, commander of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army's Security Cavalry Regiment. The Eighth Route Army Du Yu Hou Si Jia Wedge joined the army Cao Principal Xulu Captain Chongguang, and the Eighth Route Army Security Cavalry Regiment Independent Battalion Supervisor Xuanjie Captain Zou Yi. Zhang Guizhi, deputy commander of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army Security Cavalry Regiment, Captain Xuanjie, commander of the left battalion of the Yan'an regiment, Captain Li Dezhu, commander of the right battalion of the Yan'an regiment, captain Zhang Shaoqiang, supervisor of the left battalion of the Yan'an regiment, deputy lieutenant Sang Peng, supervisor of the left battalion of the Yan'an regiment, and deputy lieutenant Cheng Zhiping, supervisor of the right battalion of the Yan'an regiment. Jiang Guoming, deputy commander of the left battalion of the Yan'an Regiment, Qi Fangzheng, deputy commander of the right battalion of the Yan'an regiment, Zeng Shipin, deputy supervisor of the left battalion of the Yan'an regiment, and Xing Rui, deputy supervisor of the right battalion of the Yan'an regiment, a total of 20 officers.

Wei Xun, the chief soldier, didn't say half a word of nonsense, and as soon as he came up, he said straight to the point: "The imperial court has sent an edict to appoint certain people as festival envoys, and appoint someone from me Wei as a defense envoy, which is a trick to reduce the power of the lord's army." I have defied the decree and imprisoned the angels. Calling all the brothers here today is to come up with a charter on this matter! ”

"Bird charter---- who dares to have different intentions for adults. Lao Tzu chopped him with a knife! Liang Xuan, the commander of the Yan'an regiment and now the heaviest soldier in the Yanzhou garrison, sat lazily in the corner with his arms in his arms, and replied with a disdainful expression.

"Liang Tongzhi is serious, no one here has any disagreement with adults!" Zhi Yuqing was stabbed by Liang Xuandi's words, and said with a frown.

At this moment, there are twenty officers in the room, except for Wei Xun, only his military rank is general, but he is an outsider seconded from the Zhe family, looking at Liang Xuan's meaning, it is obvious that he has already passed the anger with Wei Xun in advance, and at this moment he is here lukewarmly and cruelly, not to say that he has something to say to him, a foreign general?

Although there are many officers in the room, most of them are old subordinates brought out by Li Wenge from Team C, and only Zhi Yuqing is a newcomer who has become a monk halfway.

Ling Pu said: "You don't have to worry about it, Lao Liang is such a character, he doesn't mean you!" It's just that at this moment, those civil officials in the city are demolishing the corners of the adults, and the court has come to such a non-trivial will, how to look at it as if it has been discussed. The adults rushed to kill the corpses of their brothers in the sea of blood, and it was not easy to earn this family business. What Brother Wei means, those of us who eat big pot rice, should give adults a good look at this family business......"

Zhi Yuqing smiled bitterly in his heart, these words of being a soldier are not rough, Li Wenge worked hard to extinguish the Dingyan army, and the imperial court divided his generals in a blink of an eye. Li Wenge's army is different from the Yang family, no matter how it is divided, it is a family, the meat is rotten in the pot, and the court cannot be divided, if it is true that a few of these officers are counting on high-ranking officials Houlu to want to support troops and occupy a piece of territory and become a feudal town, even if the Eighth Route Army will not disappear, it will inevitably be greatly damaged--- isn't it that Bianliang can rub it as much as it wants?

Fortunately, looking at the current situation, it is difficult to say about the civil officials in Yanzhou, the generals are still relatively united, and the prestige of Li Wenge is still there for a long time, and there will be no changes in this place in Yanzhou for the time being, only the situation of Lu Xun and Shen Chendi, who is leading troops in the field at this moment, is unknown.

Wei Xun glanced at these officers lightly with his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "What Ling Pu said is reasonable, I want everyone to take the charter together, that's what it means!" However, we now have a huge piece of land, and it is really stingy to say that the family business is really stingy, and our charter is to protect the 10,000-year-old foundation of the adult, and to ensure that the thousands of miles of land that we have worked so hard to win will not be taken away by the imperial court in a few words! I'll start with that. If the brothers are unwilling to turn their faces with the court and help the adults together. Say it clearly at this moment, put down the military power and walk, it will not be difficult for us Lao Wei to do it for you. If you want to make tricks in private, don't blame Lao Wei for being ruthless! ”

The words "10,000 years of inheritance", if you hear that people are civil officials. It is inevitable to feel piercing, but fortunately, at this moment, the room is full of generals who fight and kill all day long, but they don't care. On the contrary, they applauded continuously.

"Brother Wei has any charter, just take it out. All the brothers are following the adults to crawl out of the pile of the dead, where will there be different hearts? Even Shen Dusi and my master, the stone dares to protect it! Kang Shishi said proudly.

Wei Xun glanced at Kang Shishi and said with a smile: "Those civil officials and adults can't get by, it's just that they think that they elected adults to be festival envoys in the first place." They are meritorious, and the adults are from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and those old men always have a little bit of kindness to the adults. At this moment, there is an incident, and the eyes of these bastards are all staring at Li Xianggong, counting on him to press our lord. Although Li Xianggong understands the righteousness and will definitely not mess around with them, but those of us who follow the adults to eat and eat the mound are not good to just watch with our hands tied up, watching those bastards who hang their bookbags all day long! ”

Zhi Yuqing nodded: "That's right." However, the military law of the adults is strict. It is an iron rule that the army cannot meddle in local affairs. We are helping adults, not adding to the chaos and violating military law, don't joke brothers! ”

Wei Xun glanced at him: "Our family is in charge of military law, how can we enforce the law and break the law?" ”

He paused and said, "I mean, we have to let those civil officials know that in this matter of Yanzhou, the adults are the ones who talk about it, and the four states of Yanqing and Youxia only count if the adults say it." Our adults are not their civil servants, whatever they say, then what? ”

Liang Xuan said impatiently: "Old Wei Te, if you want to say anything, just say it, anyway, there are no outsiders here......"

Wei Xun took a deep breath and said word by word: "I mean, we all jointly draft a document and send it to the battalion to teach the soldiers to sign and press their fingerprints, and at least the officers of the first team should draw a ......."

"What paperwork?" Lou Shaowu asked with some curiosity.

"Persuade the table, let's all support the adult to be the emperor----" Wei Xun said triumphantly. Li Wenge, who was in the yellow robe and was in doom, was looking at the thick pipe fired from clay in his hand with a depressed face, he had to admit the reality, as a tool for making sulfuric acid, the current experimental tools with clay as the main raw material are indeed too primitive, this tube has been kept as smooth as possible when firing, but the condensation result is still so bad, and the continuous experimental failure has made his enthusiasm for the immortal project of making sulfuric acid fall to the lowest point since entering the mountain.

On the contrary, Chen Tuan was still calm and relaxed, meticulously recorded the process and results of the experiment in a booklet, and comforted Li Wenge: "According to what you said, this sulfur essence is the rarest thing in the world, and it is the most finely crafted wine, which is far less than this object to make money." The value of a jar of sulfur essence is equal to the weight of gold, and it has been less than ten days since you buried your heart to make it, and you can't bear it? ”

Li Wenge shook his head helplessly and said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!" This clay firing earth altar jar jar is not a good utensil. Even if you can get away with making dilute sulfuric acid, if you want to increase the concentration, you don't even have a scale, but I'm afraid it's even harder to die! ”

He paused and said, "Colorless glass is the father of experimental science, and this law seems to be inextricable......

Chen Jun didn't understand what he was talking about, the dignitaries opened their mouths to ask, and as soon as the door rang, Luo Yiniang walked in with a letter, walked to Li Wenge's side, stretched out a letter from his sleeve, and said, "The messenger on the mountain ......"

Li Wenge was stunned for a moment, his eyes first stayed for a long time on the crooked four words on the envelope, and then he took the letter and opened it carefully, and looked at it carefully, looking at it, a trace of disdain gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Luo Yiniang asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" The messenger's horse ran out of strength, and it seemed that things were in a hurry......"

"It's nothing, the prince in the east, I've sent me a tui en order...... Li Wenge replied calmly with a faint smile, rubbed the letter in his hand, and threw it into the stove for heating on the side.
