Sima saw a smile, he couldn't be busy for the time being, and when the taxes and fees were saved, he would naturally have to overhaul them. Li Sima Gui is the official, please take a seat! Zhuang Yi stretched out his hand and led to the middle of the main position.

"Haha...... Then so-and-so will be seated temporarily! Li Kuangyu stepped up to the main table and sat down.

Zhuang Yi followed and sat on one side to accompany him. At this time, Duan Zhongzhong and Zhu Yongji led a group of subordinate officials to come forward to see the end of the ceremony, and sat down behind the cases on both sides of the lobby, quietly waiting for the instructions.

At this time, Li Kuangyu beckoned, and an entourage stepped forward to open it with a small wooden box, took out a volume of official documents and handed it over, Li Kuangyu stretched out his hand to take it, and read: "There are Youzhou Festival teeth to be Zhuang Yi, and Youzhou people are also!" Knowledgeable and reasonable, An Zhen Yeji, resolute and resolute, able to fight habitually, and brave to do things, recently ordered to go out of the fortress, break the Khitan and Pingshan North Hu trouble, chase the Bohai Sea and recover Yingzhou, this great achievement! Tejian is a guerrilla general, a soldier and horse envoy of the Pingliao Army, and an acting battalion and state affairs! I hope you will be diligent in managing the government and reassuring the people on the border! ”

Li Kuangyu's tone was frustrated, Zhuang Yi didn't understand what it meant, but he understood the last two sentences, and quickly got up and saluted respectfully and thanked him, and took the official document of Lu Longjiedu's appointment handed over by Li Kuangyu with both hands.

In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a flood of officials, and the major feudal towns all held a large number of blank confessions, that is, the official appointment certificates stamped with the seal of "Shangshu Military Department's Confession", which could be filled in with their names at any time, and then submitted to the Ministry of War for the record. Of course, this is a military attaché, and the assassin history is through the ministry, and the feudal town is on its own territory, and it can also be appointed and dismissed first and then reported.

Li Kuangyu smiled and nodded, took an official seal wrapped in yellow brocade, handed it to Zhuang Yi and said with a smile: "This is the talisman of the local soldier and horse envoy, you have put it away!" There are also two sets of official uniforms and subordinate official costumes, a number of subordinate generals, non-commissioned military uniforms and equipment, you need to go to Youzhou to get them. This guerrilla general's military officer, ranked seventeenth, from the fifth grade, with Sima of the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, the weight is not light! This is what Jizhou Zhao Thorn Shi fought for you in front of my family......"

Li Kuangyu said that, his eyes looked at Zhuang Yi meaningfully, but he was very disappointed, Zhuang Yi was just stunned, and did not show surprise.

"So...... Thank you, Mr. Li! Thank you Sima Li! Zhuang Yi said that he was not easy to explain this, and it was all tears.

"According to Zhao Tingshi, you are the son of his deceased, but is it true?" Li Kuangyu asked curiously.

When Zhuang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but almost burst into laughter, and immediately understood that this was an identity statement that Zhao Ting made up for himself, and quickly nodded yes. I didn't want Li Kuangyu to be overjoyed when he heard it, and his attitude suddenly became a little warmer, which made Zhuang Yi a little inexplicable, but he quickly understood. Presumably, Li Kuangyu has a good relationship with the Zhao family, otherwise he must be very dissatisfied or even rejected.

After the official conferral procedure was completed, Duan Zhongzhong led a group of subordinate officials to come forward to congratulate. Zhuang Yi returned the salute and thanked him, and invited Li Kuangyu to go to his public house in the back hall to rest, and asked Zhu Yongji and Duan Zhongzhong to accompany him to set up a banquet for hospitality.

The next day is still a rare good weather, the day has just dawned, Shi Dazhong led Xi soldiers 1,000, escorted more than 30 cars of dowry to Xi Wang's tooth tent, Zhuang Yi got up early in the morning to greet and sent out of Liucheng 20 miles, just returned to the palace, Li Kuangyu sent someone to ask, saying that it was the delivery of goods.

Zhuang Yi found Duan Zhongzhong's father and son and Zhu Yongji to go with him, about the price, at last night's banquet, it was negotiated according to the normal market price, a war horse was five yuan, one stone grain was three money, a bundle of raw hides was ten pieces of money, and there was a stock of cloth, Zhuang Yi did not plan to change it, so he left. In this way, a total of nearly 5,000 war horses and 1,000 bundles of raw hides, worth about 27,000 yuan, will be exchanged for grain, about 9,000 stones.

However, this time, Li Kuangyu only brought 1,000 stone of grain, plus the storage in the government treasury, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need, and the rest will be settled in installments after the summer and autumn harvests next year, so that the food shortage crisis in the coming year will not exist.

Having said that, Zhuang Yi doesn't like this, food in troubled times is as expensive as a treasure and an important reserve material, which is equivalent to Tai'a holding it upside down, and the lifeline is completely pinched in the hands of others. Therefore, after the restoration of social order in Yingzhou, agricultural production will be an important event in the future.

Three days later, Li Kuang was proud to take a large number of war horses and raw skins to say goodbye, and after Zhuang Yi sent them away, he convened a meeting of his subordinates to discuss the problem of self-sufficiency in food, and finally decided as follows:

The first is to immediately set up 48 townships under the rule of Wenying Prefecture, expand the reclamation of barren fields, and increase the planting of winter wheat before the winter snow comes; The second is that the 2,800 people left behind by the Pingliao Army, except for one battalion that rotates to defend the city every day, all the rest participate in the reclamation according to the establishment units, and the land reclaimed is used as the army's tun field. Yan County and Juluo are guarded and captured, and they can be cultivated nearby. The third is that the ironsmith workshop stopped repairing weapons and armor and went all out to build agricultural tools. In addition, the insufficient part was sent to Pingzhou to buy nearby.

It was already early winter, and it was not suitable for the caravan to travel far, so Zhuang Yi decided to lead by example and personally participate in the upsurge of reclamation, despite the opposition of his family and subordinates.

This day was the first day of the reclamation movement, Zhuang Yi brought Bian Wu and other fifty personal guards, and just went out with farm tools, a soldier guarding the city gate came to report, and the people of the Cui family came to the door with great momentum!

Zhuang Yi didn't care much about it, the goods were in hand, of course, there was no reason to return them, and if he wanted to return them, he would use other goods to return them in the coming year. But now that people come to the door, they always have to see each other and give an explanation, so they go to the main gate of the government and wait.

After a while, I saw more than ten knights guarding an old man in a green robe in his fifties, led by the fat butler, and went straight to the mansion from the other end of the long street. At this time, the fat housekeeper had already seen a group of people wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying farm tools under the towering gatehouse of the mansion, instinctively thinking that they were farmers, and were about to scold and make way, when he suddenly saw Zhuang Yi in front of the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately whispered to the old man.

The old man in the green robe was stationed on the horse and looked at the newly renovated mansion curiously, and when he heard the fat butler explain Zhuang Yi's identity, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and was very surprised to see him dressed like this, smiled at Zhuang Yi, turned over and dismounted and walked towards Zhuang Yi.

"Yingzhou has been remodeled, the government has a new look, Zhuang Jun has made a young man, and the new official has taken office, which is really gratifying! A certain is the big shopkeeper of Cui's firm, known as Cui Laoba, and the name Cui Zan is, to congratulate the Zhuang military envoy! Cui Zhan, the old man in the green robe, stepped forward quickly, smiled and bowed.

"It turned out to be the big shopkeeper of the Cui family! So gracious! Seeing that the person who came was humble and polite, Zhuang Yi felt good, smiled and said: "Since you came in person, this is easy to do!" Tell the truth, shopkeeper Cui! You're not using people properly! It's a miracle that this stupid pig-like guy is still alive as a deacon for receiving goods in this chaotic place outside the gate! ”
