This year's priority is to ensure a bumper grain harvest. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info people take food as the sky, and in any case, food is the most important issue. The prosperity of the market, without food, the people can't fill their bellies, everything is in vain.

Geng's face was ugly, which made Burhan's heart rise to his throat. The reason why he was able to pat his chest last year to ensure the food supply of the Dzungar and Tushetu Khan departments, so that the two departments could rest assured in the war, was that the biggest reliance was on this year's summer grain. But the unnaturalness of Geng contempt worried Burhan.

"Geng contempt! Is there any difficulty? ”

It's okay for Burhan not to say anything, but as soon as he said it, Geng Contempt quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Great Khan!" A total of 1.6 million mu of wheat has been harvested this summer, but... It's just that.... ”

Geng was hesitant to see what was indeed going on.

"Geng contempt! If you have any difficulties or troubles, you can tell them, and Ben Khan will make the decisions for you. "Actually, Burhan doesn't like to hide it, if you say something, whether you can solve it is a problem, but if you don't say it, even if you want to solve it, you can't do it.

"Great Khan! Although the summer grain has been harvested, but only forty percent of the grain, because it has just been harvested, the moisture content of the wheat is still too large, and all the grain may have to wait for more than half a month... Or even a month...? ”

In this tentative tone, Burhan roughly guessed something. Burhan was involved in almost the entire harvesting process, and he still didn't know how much moisture the wheat contained? In recent days, the sun has been shining, and it only takes three or two days at most to dry out, so how can it drag on for a month?

"Geng contempt! Are you guilty? ”

"The minister is guilty!" Seeing that Burhan asked for guilt, Geng Shen knelt even lower, and they all prostrated on the main hall. He knew that Burhan was not simply asking for sin, and he needed to know what was the reason for so little.

"Great Khan! The main reason for such a small amount of rice is that the people think that sixty percent of the grain is too much. In fact... That is, a small number of people think so, and the majority of the people are still happy, but it is true that the wheat is a little damp. ”

"Bold! You are too bold. Burhan was furious, and the air in the hall was instantly suffocated, this feeling had only appeared in Toduo back then, but he didn't expect him to have such treatment.

"The minister is guilty! Death to all ministers! The cold breath made him deeply feel the meaning of an officialdom saying: the meaning of accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger.

"Ben Khan is angry, not because you are not doing well, nor because you are interceding for those people. It's that you're not putting your identity right. You are an official, an official of my Hechiti Ministry, and your words and deeds should always be for the sake of the Hechiti Ministry, not to protect those people. ”

Burhan's words made Geng contempt ashamed, eating the king's wealth, and being loyal to the king was a matter of course, but he delayed the major affairs of the Hechiti Ministry because of his soft-heartedness and lack of courage, how could Burhan tolerate such a thing? After all, he is just a scholar. Suddenly elevating him from a clerk to the position of a big Sinong may have hurt him, but there is nothing he can do but let him exercise himself in the crawling and rolling.

He still has high hopes for Geng Contempt, and if he says too harshly, it may discourage his enthusiasm, and Burhan said tactfully: "It is a matter of course to pay rent according to regulations and pay taxes according to law." What's more, it was stated before that within three years, the Hechi Ti Department would provide free farming cattle and other materials, and the farmers would provide labor. In return, 60% of their income needs to be paid to the tribe, and after three years, the agricultural tax is only 1 in 10. Is that how they give back to us? ”

The coldness of Burhan's words made the ministers present shudder. Burhan said this, and the nobles of the Hechi Ti tribe received a terrible signal, that is, Burhan began to get tired of the greedy Han people, and for a time the Han people were attacked by the nobles of the Hechi Ti tribe.

"Great Khan! For those who are cunning, greedy, and untrustworthy, they should be suppressed with iron and blood, confiscated their property, and their filthy heads stuck in the sacred Sulu ingot spear. ”

"Wow!" Dugan's words were not without viciousness, but Burhan was certain that such ideas were not unique to Dugan, a radical.

With the smooth implementation of the strategy of going to the west, more and more Han Chinese were accepted by the Hechiti tribe, and one can see how high the hopes of Burhan had for these Han Chinese, and the excessive participation of Han Chinese made the Mongols of the Hechiti tribe a threat. Although Burhan tried his best to suppress this emotion, if the matter could not be handled perfectly, the contradictions between Han and Mongolia would completely erupt.

"Yes, all those Han people should be killed and their property should be confiscated." "Kill them!" "Take possession of their wives and daughters, and let them be in our **."

The more these nobles talked, the more unreliable and excessive, and if they were not stopped, it would definitely trigger infighting among Han and Mongolian officials.

Liu Dingchen has always been the firefighter of Burhan, and he can always share the worries of Burhan at the most critical moment, which is why Burhan values him so much.

"Great Khan! Thousands of miles here just for food! The reason why ordinary people are able to leave their homeland and say goodbye to their homeland is to have enough to eat. At the beginning, the standard set by the Great Khan was that in terms of this year's yield of two and a half stones per mu, each person could save up to 10 stones, which was not simply to eat enough, but malicious tax resistance must be severely punished. However, after all, such people are in the minority, and they must be measured in dealing with them. Being too strict cannot deter those who shamelessly disrupt the people, and being too strict is afraid of intensifying contradictions. If the Great Khan can trust his ministers, the matter will be handled by the ministers. ”

Of course, Liu Dingchen's method of manipulating the problem can be trusted, but he is the left minister after all. There is a saying in the Hechi Ti Department that Aditya is good at planning, and Liu Dingchen is good at planning. It is said that most of the regulations of the current Hechiti Ministry are mostly proposed by Aditya Right Minister, while Liu Dingchen mostly uses stratagems.

With no one available at the moment, he once again experienced the predicament caused by the withering of talent, and Burhan also wanted to take this opportunity to let his subordinates exercise more.

"Alright! The matter was hosted by the Zuo Xiang, and the chief judge of the Grand Judge Yuan was reckless, and the Grand Si Nong listened from the side. Contempt! You should ask the left minister for advice on how to be an official. ”

"The ministers obey the decree of the Great Khan." Several people retreated, and since Burhan had already arranged for the minister to deal with this matter, the nobles of the Hechi Ti Department did not dare to say anything more. For Geng Cong, how could he not know the rarity of this opportunity? Liu Dingchen is both the left minister of the Khanate and the internal guard of the palace, I have heard that the left minister has a good wrist, if he can learn a trick and a half, it will be a great benefit for him.

The matter is much more serious than Liu Dingchen imagined, although only a few people openly resist taxes, but it is precisely because of Geng Cong's cowardice and soft treatment that the vast majority of the people now have a wait-and-see mood.

Liu Dingchen has already learned the general situation in the Internal Guard Mansion, and among all the people, the old man from Shanxi is the most fierce, so Liu Dingchen naturally wants to attack them first.

Before I got closer, I heard a fierce quarrel inside.

"Asking me to hand over sixty percent of my grain is a pipe dream. I was fortunate enough to have planted the grain, it didn't fall from the sky, and it was not impossible to want the grain, but I used money to buy it. ”

Qi Gui really couldn't listen to it anymore, he pulled away from the crowd and said, "Two dogs!" It turns out that you kid has been messing with ghosts, I'm really blind, and I gave you a settling-in allowance at the beginning, you wolf-hearted guy, why don't you want to think about the good of the tribe to you? ”

It's okay not to say it, Qi Gui is even more energetic as soon as he speaks. "Qi Xiucai! You don't quarrel with Lao Tzu here, what qualifications do you have to say Lao Tzu, you traitor? It's okay if you don't help us as a Han Chinese, you actually help the Tatars bully us, you dog traitor. ”

"You... You... The bold two dogs actually dared to insult the court officials. "Ergouzi really made Qi Gui angry enough, since joining the Hechi Ti Department and entering the Internal Guard Mansion as a high-ranking official, Qi Gui has regarded himself as a member of the Hechi Ti Ministry. Like most Han people who were born in Xiucai and did not have the opportunity to serve the country, the Hechi Tibu is a country, and this country is growing, who knows if it will enter the Central Plains or become a hegemon in the future? In short, this is where their dreams come true.

"What are you? You are a traitor, do you really think that you are an official of the imperial court, which kind of imperial court are you? Not a bunch of brutes yet? ”

"You...?" Qi Gui couldn't wait to go up and teach this old boy a lesson, but was stopped by his boss, Liu Dingchen, the leader of the Internal Guard Mansion.

Today, Liu Dingchen didn't want to bully others, he walked to the middle of the crowd and said, "You are the second dog?" You signed and painted your fingerprints at the beginning, what's the matter? Want to repent? ”

The second dog raised his eyelids and looked at the "old man" in front of him who seemed to be a fairy-like bone, looking at Qi Gui's dog slave appearance, such a thing is also a big official?

"Who are you! Lao Tzu is illiterate, so how can he count the signatures? Who knows if you've changed something behind your back? ”

"In that case, there's nothing more to say, let's go!"

Accidentally! Definitely an accident. No one expected that Liu Dingchen was originally sent by the Great Khan to deal with this matter, but he didn't expect Liu Dingchen to listen to the words of the two dogs.

Qi Gui was really worried about his boss, because the Great Khan only gave Zuo Xiang half a month, which was enough time for the wheat to dry and the field to end.

"Lord Zuoxiang! Only... Just let them go? Where is the Great Khan...? ”

Liu Dingchen himself was not in a hurry at all, he said slowly, "There must be someone behind this, and the head of the second dog can't think of such a falling idea." As for the Great Khan, you don't have to worry, the mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Liu Dingchen, who is the cabinet leader of the Internal Security Mansion, knows a little about this matter, and the spearhead of the matter is directly aimed at Meng Lik and Du Gen. This brother of the Great Khan of Burhan, Liu Dingchen knows, Zhi Dacai is treacherous. This is also the reason why Burhan reused the young Zadulo and hid Monlik. And Dugan is even simpler, since losing his rights, Dugan has always looked very responsible. However, if Dugan meets Monrik, two good friends with evil intentions, they will be a pair of beautiful and embarrassed partners. Liu Dingchen didn't believe that Burhan didn't know, but he didn't want to believe it, so Liu Dingchen was ordered to handle this matter.

The next day, the whole Linhe changed dramatically. In order to make Linhe the most important food base of the Hechiti Department, and also for the convenience of the people, the farmland around the entire Linhe is all over the place, and the corresponding roads are also longitudinal and horizontal, and these roads are different today.

Today, as usual, Ergouzi put on an ox cart and prepared to pull the remaining ten acres of wheat to the scene for threshing. It's okay in normal times, but today is very different, and the government has set up a checkpoint on the avenue.

"Next!" "Come and see your ticket. Well... Let's go! From time to time, an officer leader looked at the tickets in the hands of the people and let them go. Soon it was the turn of the second dog, and the officer came over and said, "Hey! It's your turn, come! Let me see your ticket. ”

"Tickets? What ticket? "The second dog was stunned, and he didn't say that he used to use a ticket to walk, so what's wrong today.

The officer laughed, "What else can I have?" Of course, it's your ticket! From now on, if you want to get on the road, you have to use an entry ticket to open the way, you know? ”

As soon as he heard the word "Zong", the second dog suddenly became angry, and scolded with a wave of his sleeves, "Lao Tzu walks this road on weekdays, and I have never heard of walking to ask for a ticket. ”

"Yo he! I've met a powerful guy today! How dare you play an uncle in front of Lao Tzu? Old! Fence it for me, Lao Tzu wants to see how the ** person will sue Lao Tzu? ”

As soon as the officer shouted, the two dogs were surrounded by bright knives and guns. Seeing this, the surrounding people quickly hid in a safe place, since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, these two dogs hit the left prime minister on the top of the day and thought to be right, he is looking for death.

It was really uncomfortable to be surrounded by knives and guns, but the second dog didn't dare to make any moves, he was afraid that if the military master's hand trembled, the sharp blade close to the tip of the throat would cut through his skin. At this moment, Father Li and several sons drove by with an ox cart, and the two dogs pleaded as if they had met a savior.

"Daddy Li! Help... Help me! ”

Only then did Li Laohan see that Ergouzi's family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the tip of the knife was against his throat, even if it was just one accident, it would kill someone.

The old man glanced at Ergouzi and scolded in his heart: "You deserve it." "These days, Ergouzi is really a little too much, it is the duty of farmers to pay grain according to the chapter, and I don't know what's wrong with this guy, not only did he refuse to pay but also encouraged the blind dates around him to follow him, as if he wanted to become the leader in this confrontation, do you say the court can let him go?

Ay! It's all from a village, and he doesn't want to see Ergouzi die, right?

"I said, Ergouzi, why are you so unpopular? Take a good look at the military master. ”

These words reminded the second dog, and he saw the officer rubbing his fingers, his right foot constantly touching the ground, and his head turned to the side with a full ruffian appearance.

"Master Jun! You see if you let your subordinates take the knife away first, this guy is a bit infiltrating. ”

After all, Old Man Li is a doctor of agriculture personally appointed by the Great Khan, which is much older than his small officer, and the officer is still very polite to Old Man Li, that is, for his sake, the second dog is temporarily out of danger.

The second dog was ordered by Old Man Li, pulled the little officer to the side of the road, took out a tael of silver, and whispered, "Come!" Master Jun, this is a small meaning, just a little wine money for the brothers. As he spoke, he was about to put it in the officer's arms, but when he saw that the officer did not accept it at all, he said angrily, "What do you mean by this?" What about those who ask for food? A few of our brothers have the sun on their heads, and you will give a tael of silver? What can this do? ”

"You...!" Ergouzi itself is a pick, one or two pieces of silver is already a large asset, if it weren't for the fact that the Hechi Ti Department did not have copper coins, he would only give ten cents at most, but I didn't expect this group of Qiu Ba to have such a big appetite.

Old Man Li gently blocked the cigarette pouch a few times, and Ergouzi signaled him to be smarter, and he had no choice but to break the fortune and avoid disaster. Five taels! I bought a road for five taels of silver.

When people saw that the two dogs, who were the most high-flying and fastidious on weekdays, were reluctant to pass with five taels of silver, they were suddenly afraid, mainly reluctant to let go of the silver. When they saw those fellow villagers who had tickets to enter the country, they were even more envious when they drove the ox carts down to work in the fields, and gradually, they felt that having tickets was equivalent to being superior. Some people don't think so, it's a big deal not to walk through the farmland next to it, but who doesn't know that it's not your own farmland, and others can let you walk through it at will? In addition to having to fight, he also had to be caught in the judgment court, not only to be beaten but also to compensate for the losses of others, which is simply more than worth the loss.
