Chen Suowen smiled slightly and said, "Then borrow Feng Xian's nephew Jiyan!" However, the virtuous nephew will lead the crowd to return in the coming year, and the court will definitely reward him, and the old man will naturally ask for credit for the virtuous nephew! After speaking, he glanced at Feng Jian meaningfully, and then drained the wine in the cup.

Feng Jian understood after a little thought, what Chen Wen meant meant that although he led Huluyan to return to the imperial court, if the government had no one to support and help, the benefits obtained by returning to the imperial court would be greatly reduced!

Putting down the wine glass, Chen Suowen stroked his chin and beard, and then said: "Originally, you are a thief, and the old man is an official, it is impossible for the two sides to sit together, let alone sit together and drink!" But you rescued the little girl Lilan first, and now you have the intention of returning to the imperial court, and the official is grateful, so he has to ignore the rules of the imperial court and invite Feng Xian's nephew to a banquet, and he can help as much as possible. ”

Seeing that Feng Jian's face was as usual, he bowed slightly on the seat and said: "Thank you Lord Zhizhou, the little nephew and others never expected to sit at the same table with the adult, the grace of the adult's acquaintance Feng Jian is unforgettable, and the little nephew is willing to obey the adult's dispatch in the future!" ”

Hearing the promise he wanted from Feng Jian's mouth, Chen Suowen suddenly felt comfortable. This Feng Jian is still very lively! It seems that the leader of the thieves who is full of praise from his daughter Lilan is really a little different, and this answer is also leaky.

Chen Suowen then asked: "Listen to the little girl Lilan, you are self-sufficient in cultivating fields and growing grain on the mountain, and the food is enough to satisfy your stomach?" ”

Feng Jian put down his wine glass and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Zhizhou, the fields cultivated by the villagers in the village are located on the hillside, the land is barren, and there are many people and little land, so the per capita ration is a little insufficient. ”

Chen asked casually, "Oh." In this way, the life of your cottage people is still very difficult. I don't know what the solution is for the virtuous nephew. ”

"The little nephew is trying to plead with Lord Zhizhou, please allow Huluyan to buy a batch of grain in Pingdu City and transport it back to the cottage. To solve the urgent need of the cottage! ”

Chen thought for a moment, frowned, and said: "Originally, this is a trivial matter, you only need to send someone to the grain department of the official office with the official letter card (note) to inform you, and someone will handle a large number of official documents for you to buy and sell grain." But unfortunately, at the end of the year, all the departments of the sixth room of the state government have been sealed and stopped working, and at this time, the virtuous nephew wants to buy food in large quantities, I am afraid it is a bit tricky. ”

Feng Jian secretly sighed that he was scheming with someone like Chen Suowen who had been rolling in officialdom for many years. It's like a child fighting an adult, it's not a hierarchy at all.

Feng Jian understood that the suspension of the government did not mean that Huluyan would not be able to buy food, and Chen was obviously saving his hands when he heard it! It's just that the two sides can get to the point and have more chips in their hands.

Feng Jian was not ready to continue playing dumb riddles, he coughed and said: "Lord Zhizhou, the little nephew led more than 10,000 villagers from Huluyan to return to the imperial court, not for personal selfishness, but to let these more than 10,000 people be accepted by the imperial court again. ”

Chen Suowen's eyes lit up slightly, and he avoided talking about it from the beginning until he pinched Feng Jian just now. In the final analysis, I was waiting for Feng Jian's words. The heart said that this kid's patience is still almost in the end!

He learned from the newspaper of the imperial court that Shaanxi had been in a series of droughts, and rice was worth 10,000 yuan, and the rebellion of the hungry people and border soldiers in northern Shaanxi had become like a prairie fire. It gave the Ming court a headache.

Di Bao said that Wang Jiayin led his army to occupy the county seat of Fugu in Shaanxi; Zhang Xianzhong led the peasant army to defeat Du Wenhuan, the general soldier of Yan'an Guard, Shaanxi, and persuaded the officers and soldiers of the eighteen villages in Mizhi County to rebel. and self-proclaimed as the "Eight Kings of Xiying".

The latest issue of the newspaper also said that a large number of Shaanxi thieves moved to Shanxi. Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Wang Ziwei were thieves and others met in Hequ, Shanxi.

Now the imperial treasury is empty, and it is impossible to exterminate these thieves for a while. So he turned to the main strategy of "pacifying" the rebellious thief army.

Now there are also a large number of bandits hidden in the Pingdu realm, if Chen Suowen can appease the large number of bandits that endanger the surrounding areas of Pingdu without spending a single soldier, it will become a major event affecting the surrounding area. When the news came back to the imperial court, maybe even the saint would be alarmed, no wonder Chen Suowen played tricks on Feng Jian from the beginning.

Even if he was scheming, hearing that Feng Jian was ready to lead the crowd to surrender but did not put forward superfluous conditions, Chen Suowen's face also showed a trace of incomprehension, and he quickly covered up the past.

Chen Suowen poured himself a glass of wine, and then said to Feng Jian: "Feng Xian's nephew, the bandits in the Daze Mountain are rampant in all directions, and the official is worried about this matter, the old man just said that as long as the virtuous nephew leads his subordinates to surrender to the Cheng court, the court will definitely try its best to meet the legitimate requirements of the virtuous nephew." ”

Chen heard that this was a temptation and a reminder to Feng Jian that he could make some requests to the imperial court appropriately and reasonably, and the imperial court would normally agree.

Of course, Feng Jian is not stupid, he is most concerned about the identity of the cottage villagers, so he asked: "Lord Zhizhou, the little nephew led the crowd to surrender, how can the identity of the cottage villagers be re-converted into a private household?" ”

Chen Suowen said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew still remembers the people in the village, which the official still appreciates, and the matter of the villagers you mentioned is also simple to change from thieves to private households." ”

He twisted his beard and continued: "Our official office cabinet and yellow book room should still keep the identity records of all the people in your cottage, and when the imperial court rewards the will, you will hand over the list of people in the village to the official office cabinet and yellow book room, and let them re-register, and the people in your cottage will naturally restore their household status." ”

A big stone in Feng Jian's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and what he thought was difficult to do, what he heard by Chen could be solved in a few words!

What Chen heard was worried about how to settle more than 10,000 bandits after Feng inspected the city, and it was definitely not a trivial matter for more than 10,000 people to have food, clothing, housing and transportation, although the imperial court would give some subsidies, but most of them had to be raised by Pingdu Prefecture itself. I want to raise enough supplies and money to house more than 10,000 people, and I have to make my hair gray a lot!

What he was worried about was that Feng Jian opened his mouth and pushed the problem of eating and drinking more than 10,000 people to himself, Pingdu Mansion couldn't support so many idlers, but he couldn't push it out, so he had been entangled in this matter.

So Chen Suowen asked tentatively: "Virtuous nephew, after Huluyan returned to the imperial court, the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are a big problem, and the imperial court is unable to bear it for a while, I don't know what your plans are." ”

Feng Jian said: "My lord, after Huluyan is returned, the villagers in the village still live in Huluyan, and the little nephew can not be appeased and cared for by the imperial court." On the contrary, they must follow the rules of the imperial court, serve as a conscription, and pay money and food. ”

Rao is eyes widened in shock as the officialdom became a fine figure that Chen heard, and he asked urgently, "Are you sure what the virtuous nephew said?" ”

Feng Jian nodded and said: "What the little nephew said is true, but Huluyan is not self-sufficient now, so he has to ask the adults to reduce or exempt one or two taxes." ”

Chen Suowen was overjoyed in his heart, and said repeatedly: "This is no problem, when the time comes, the official can call the shots, and meet you Huluyan people for three years of taxes and servitude." ”

"Although the virtuous nephew does not require the imperial court to bear more than 10,000 additional burdens of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the people, but for the surrendered people, the imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and all kinds of rewards for the virtuous nephew cannot be shirked, and the old man will also try his best to play the imperial court to reward you for the fashion of sharing worries for the imperial court!"

After speaking, he still felt a little apologetic, and looked at Feng Jian's somewhat surprised expression, and he felt a little worried.

When Chen heard about the burden that he thought was difficult to solve, Feng Jian not only threw it at him, but also took the initiative to assume the obligation of serving conscription and paying money and food.

Of course, as a household to serve as a civil servant, it is necessary to pay money and food, but Chen Suowen can't understand that these people can't eat enough, how can Feng Jian take the initiative to solicit burdens on himself?

Chen Shuowen naturally couldn't understand why Feng Jian was burdening himself, but as a traverser, Feng Jian knew that in two more years, this Pingdu City would suffer from the scourge of Kong Youde's rebellion. At that time, even the Lord Zhizhou in front of him was killed by the rebels, and everything he is doing now is to prevent Kong Youde's rebellion and eliminate the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people in Pingdu.

There is no doubt that the agricultural system implemented by the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association ensures that the farmers have food to a large extent!

These prophetic things can only be held in the heart and cannot be declared, in fact, the old fox Chen Suowen feels that it is good to owe himself, and it is inevitable to deal with Chen Suowen after returning to the imperial court, because if he owes himself, he will open the door to some things!

Looking at Chen Suowen's slightly contemplative expression of stroking his beard, Feng Jian felt that Chen Sowen's mentality had changed, and he had become a loser.

Feng Jian was secretly proud, he wanted nothing to make the old fox's previous tricks useless, in order to achieve his intended goal, he was ready to throw out a shocking news that Chen heard again.

"Lord Zhizhou, after Huluyan surrenders to the imperial court, as long as Lord Zhizhou provides enough armor and blades for Huluyan's guards, the villain guarantees to subdue all the bandits in Daze Mountain within a year, so that Lord Zhizhou will not worry about the Daze Mountain thieves who will cause trouble in all directions."

Daze mountain thieves have caused disasters in all directions, it has always been the most headache for the magistrates of Pingdu, and the methods of exterminating and appeasing have been exhausted, but they can't solve this stubborn disease, and now this Feng Jian is boasting that it can be solved, it's really unbelievable!

Chen Suowen's heart jumped suddenly, and his hand suddenly pulled down more than ten beards, Chen Suowen didn't care about the pain, and looked directly at Feng Jian and said, "Are you sure to solve the many bandits in Daze Mountain?" The old man knows that there is a group of bandits on the main peak of Daze Mountain, and the power is stronger than your Huluyan, so this matter is no joke! ”

Feng Jian said: "The little nephew is not boasting about Haikou, the guards under the little nephew have been strictly selected, and they have been continuously trained. Just recently, the little nephew led his guards to easily defeat several powerful bandit forces around Huluyan one after another, so the little nephew is confident that as long as Lord Zhizhou provides enough weapons and blades for the little nephew's guards, it will be easy to exterminate the many bandits in Daze Mountain. ”

Since you dare to boast, what's the harm in believing it once, Feng Jian just opened his mouth to ask for armor and blades, and he can bring out a batch of weapons and armor from the arsenal to equip Feng Jian's men and horses, so that their bandits can fight each other, no matter whether they win or lose, the imperial court is the beneficiary!

The letter plate stipulates: "The county officials shall not leave the county government lightly except for the inspection of bridges, post shops, surveys of disasters and injuries, examination of corpses, arrest of thieves, copying of documents, etc., and shall send officials with letter plates if there is an incident." ”
