Chapter 68: Making a Decision

After sending off a few leaders, Li Jing couldn't wait for someone to find Li Denggao's son Li Mao, and talked about it carefully, and finally he was not at ease, and carefully advised, "What I just said, do you understand?" Don't make your own decisions, do me a big deal! ”

According to his age, Li Mao should have been Li Jing's brother, but at this moment, even his own father has followed Li Jing, so he naturally will not have any thoughts, and the concept of a family in ancient times is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord, please rest assured, I will definitely monitor Shen Zheng firmly when I go here, and I will not let him spoil our major affairs, if there is something important, I will definitely send someone back in time to report it."

Saying this, he came over with his ears and listened to Li Jing's secret words, then nodded and turned around and went down the mountain trail.

Li Jing watched in place for a while, until he could no longer see his back, then turned around, called another person to come over, whispered a few words, and asked him to go to Wutai overnight......

"County Zun, this group of soldiers and ruffians have entered the city, and they don't pay for buying and selling things, and there are many complaints in the county, so let's let them go as soon as possible, and kill the strongmen earlier, and send them away." The county officials' staff came to complain early in the morning, which directly dispelled Chen Mengji's good mood.

I saw him put down the combed silk cloth and wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and then he slowly turned around, "What do you want to do, this group of people will stay here for a few more days, and they will transfer the county's treasury silver and go on the road together." ”

Chen Mengji has made a plan, in previous years, he was escorted to the nearby treasury after the autumn harvest, and he went straight to Taiyuan this year, and there were more than 500 young men and women in Chun County who were serving labor to go to Jiexiu County, which was located in the place of war, I am afraid that if there is no guard, they will flee halfway.

In this way, Chen Mengji poured himself a pot of tea while sitting down, "You go to the treasury to urge, you will leave in the next two days, and send it away in the morning, and the official has also calculated a big matter." ”

When the staff member heard this, he was worried for a while, "Dong Weng, the treasury silver is only more than 1,700 taels, and the grain storage is less than 1,000 stones, even if it is counted, this year's tax, the shortfall is about 5,000 stones, and there is a great drought this year, and there are many disasters among the people. ”

You must know that since the Ming Dynasty Zhang Juzheng changed the law, the implementation of a whip law, taxes in various places to pay in silver, Jinzhong this place, has always been hoarded by the army, and the consumption of grain still needs to be transported from other places, the best white rice in the south of the Yangtze River is less than one or two, but to the boundary of Shanxi, it takes three or four taels.

But the imperial court does not recognize this price, plus this year, the southern Jin Dynasty is in turmoil, many places have no harvest, and naturally there is no tax to pay, and this excess nature is evenly distributed to the land of Jinzhong and Jinbei, which is naturally even more unbearable.

Moreover, there is little rice in Shanxi, mostly wheat and millet, and the yield is low, when the new rice is on the market, there are many bullying and oppressive actions in various places, taking the opportunity to make a windfall, and the people have many hardships, and the standard tax of 5,000 stone is not borne by a poor place like Chunxian, and the county's registered farmland needs to pay taxes of only 23/10.

This is evenly distributed on each acre of land, I am afraid that more than half of it is to pay taxes and rent, of which the normal agricultural tax is only one-tenth, and the rest of the bulk is the miscellaneous taxes and landlords' taxes apportioned in various places, and this year's imperial court has increased the burden of the peasants, and this staff member knows the pain of the lower head, but the people are soft-spoken, and there is really no way, so they have to pay more attention to their own Dong Weng.

When Chen Mengji heard this, he sneered, "This official works for the imperial court, who dares to disobey, if he can't pay the tax, he will be directly pulled to the county to play the board. ”

It's just that he doesn't know what he said, and it will be fulfilled soon, in the time and space where there was no Li Jing, the Liukou was partial to the neighboring Wutai County, with tens of thousands of followers, and every family dragged their families to follow the thieves, and the court regarded the people as nothing, and the people naturally regarded the court as thieves.

Seeing that the county respected that he didn't care, the staff also shut up and didn't talk about it, but he was still worried, and after a while, he heard Chen Mengji say, "You go and find the hundreds of households in this county, and I will explain one or two, so as not to miss the tax period." ”

"Yes, Dong Weng, I'll do it." The staff came out, rushed to the back to take a look, and saw that his own Dong Weng didn't care at all, so he shook his head, sighed, and went out.

……

"What? What's the matter with the bullshit county magistrate looking for you? Li Mao went down the mountain in the middle of the night, looked for the mountain road all the way into the county, and opened the door early in the morning to blend into the city, fortunately, he lived in the county in the past, and was very familiar with the environment.

Seeing that the county lord sent someone to invite, Li Mao didn't dare to pay attention to him for a moment, and stayed directly outside the county office, and when he saw him come out at this moment, he hurried up.

Shen Zheng was already on the thief ship at this moment, and he couldn't get off anymore, so he simply accepted his fate and directly told the county zun and him about the 1510, as soon as Li Mao heard it, he knew that the official army was attacking, and he didn't dare to delay in the past two days.

Based on the information collected by the officers and soldiers today, he ordered the sentry who followed Shen Zheng down the mountain that day to go back to the mountain directly to report it.

……

"Five hundred officers and soldiers, three hundred armor, two hundred firearms and crossbows, one hundred of them on horseback," Li Jing sighed and analyzed the information he had just heard, and looked at his own horses on the school grounds, this comparison was almost desperate.

Compared with the elite of the Ming army, their own horses are really not on the stage, if they can integrate their own three or five months of drills, buy pig iron to make weapons and armor, and then mix some firearms, they can't fight, but at the moment, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"Brother, these days, you are getting lighter and lighter, don't you want to be like this, okay?" Li Caiwei looked at her brother with pity, and saw that his face was full of worry and dullness, so she leaned in front of her and asked nervously.

"It's okay, brother is just thinking about some problems." Li Jing shook his head, and secretly said that his vigilance had also been lowered, and he was deceived to his side, only to find out, and when he saw the sad face of his little sister, he quickly squeezed out some smiles.

Li Caiwei saw her brother smiling at herself with a bitter face, and her heart was even more depressed, blaming herself for being useless and not being able to share some of it for her brother, but she wanted to practice the military formation last time, but she was stopped by her brother, so what is the role of her own family?

"Don't worry, there is nothing difficult in this world, nothing can stump me, okay, you go back to the house first, it will be poisonous and tanned skin, but it will not be good." Li Jing didn't want to cause too much burden to his sister at all, and if there was any difficulty, his family would resist it.

Seeing that she was unwilling, Li Jing rushed at her with a tiger face, "Okay, go back to the house first, brother think about it again, and the matter will be solved." ”

"Hey." Li Caiwei tried hard to raise her hand and ravaged Li Jing's face vigorously, trying to make him look like a smile, but Li Jing had no intention of laughing, and her heart was heavy, and after a while, Li Caiwei entered the house sullenly.

Li Jing saw her back, and finally made up her mind in her heart to use poison! Just use the tricks, originally I couldn't make up my mind, but I really used the method of poison, which was not very clever, and it was quite a bit of a trick, but at the moment, there are meticulous works within the officers and soldiers, as long as they can get in touch with them, poisoning is the most effective method.

As long as you do it secretly, when the official army is poisoned, you will lead people into battle, not only defeat the official army, obtain equipment, but also achieve your own reputation, and completely control the military power according to the theory of ghosts and gods, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It was settled, and Li Jing waved his fist, strong and powerful......
