The mulberry garden, which had been quiet for two days, suddenly became noisy, and a group of officers and soldiers came from nowhere, and in addition to carrying spears, they also carried all kinds of other strange things. These officers and soldiers were scattered in the fields outside Zhuangzi, some of them were holding tripods and looking at something like a pipe, while others were holding red and white bamboo poles, sticking them here and there in the ground.

Mixed with these officers and soldiers, there was Hu Lin, who had gone to Huai'an Mansion to file a complaint, and he ran back and forth to point out the direction to the officers and soldiers. The chief of the village was also called out, and the officers and soldiers asked him to tell the location of the fields of each family, and before he could say a few words, the eyes of the officers and soldiers stood up, and the sharp tip of the spear was pointed at his chest, so frightened that he was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, where did he dare to hide it.

Like Hu Lin, the peasants who went to Huai'an Mansion to file a complaint still had the mentality of watching the excitement at first, and followed Deng Kui and others to the scene to watch. After gradually seeing some clues, they began to get excited, took off their torn cotton jackets one by one, and joined the ranks of Qingzhang. They don't understand the principles of surveying and mapping, but they can still do it by helping to support the pole and lift the equipment.

Whoever can make decisions for himself will support whomever he wants, this is the most simple world view of the peasants. They could see that this adult surnamed Su was planning to make decisions for himself, and they were willing to do everything for Lord Su.

"Zeng Gui, what are those officers and soldiers doing in the field?" Zeng Fengxian stood upstairs in his yard, looking at the soldiers of the survey camp in the field outside Zhuangzi, and asked Zeng Gui.

Zeng Gui had already gone out to inquire once, and he reported to Zeng Fengxian: "Master, I have inquired, they are in Qingzhang Tianmu. ”

"Qingzhang?" Zeng Fengxian was a little strange, "Qingzhang doesn't use bamboo poles and tape measures, what do they take a cylinder to look at?" ”

Zeng Gui said: "I stuffed 20 Wen for an officer and soldier, and he told me that this is a method invented by their Su Qianhu, as long as you take a picture of the pipe, you can measure the size of the acre. The officer and soldier had just been recruited, so I don't understand it, but that's roughly the case. ”

"Who is Su Qianhu?" Zeng Fengxian asked.

Zeng Gui said: "It's that Master Su, he is the head of the Ministry of Industry, and he is a thousand households appointed by the Ministry of War." The battalion he brought with him was called the Survey Camp, which was an establishment of a thousand households. ”

"How can it be so big?" Zeng Fengxian was stunned, "Have you inquired, what is his origin, it can't be a child of a noble family, right?" ”

"I don't know." Zeng Gui said, "Those veterans can't splash water at all, oil and salt don't invade, and the recruits don't know much about their officers, they only say that the camp is well fed, and they don't beat and scold the soldiers. ”

Zeng Fengxian was not interested in Franco, he frowned, and said: "Zeng Gui, it is not good for us to let these officers and soldiers clean up here, we have to find a way to stop them, otherwise, let them find out the size of our plot, this is not the matter of Hulin's eight acres of land, it is a big trouble." ”

Zeng Gui said: "Master, or, just like the time in the 8th year of Wanli, find a few people to beat Qingzhang's tolerance and let them get out." ”

"Bastard! You don't have a brain! Zeng Fengxian reprimanded, "Look at how many officers and soldiers there are outside, there are more than 200 people, who are you going to beat?" That's an officer and soldier, not a tolerance, and people have guys in their hands. ”

"This ......, then I can only ask the huge master to do things. Although there were only more than 100 people under the huge master, in the past, thousands of officers and soldiers went to encircle and suppress him, but they were all defeated by him. His people are all good men with one as ten, and it is more than enough to deal with the soldiers brought by this surnamed Su. Zeng Gui offered another plan.

Zeng Fengxian covered his cheeks, and felt painful: "It costs a lot of money to let the huge master come to do things." If we want him to drive away more than 200 officers and soldiers, we won't give some blood, I'm afraid he won't agree. In this way, you should find Zhao Hua first and ask him to talk to the surnamed Su. ”

Chaohe Town is dozens of miles away from the county seat, Zeng Gui led a horse, galloped to the county seat to sign up, and borrowed a horse in the county seat to bring Zhao Hua back to Chaohe Town, the sky was already a little dark. The soldiers of the survey battalion have completed the survey of Sangyuanzhuang and the surrounding area and returned to the town.

"Zhao Hua, the official of Andong County, ask to see Master Su." Zhao Hua rode straight to the door of the inn, jumped off the horse, and said to the soldiers standing guard at the door.

The soldier went in the door to ask for instructions, and then led Zhao Hua in. The small inn in the town also did not have a special living room, Deng Kui drove the innkeeper back to the room to hide, and temporarily changed the lobby of the inn into a public court. When Zhao Hua entered, he saw Su Hao sitting upright in the top position, and Zhou Ruyuan and Deng Kui stood beside him. Zhao Hua hesitated, his knees weakened, and he knelt down.

"The villain Zhao Hua kowtows to Su."

Boss Zhao Hua said reluctantly, and at the same time symbolically kowtowed three heads on the ground.

Su Hao sat steadily, letting Zhao Hua kowtow to him. When Zhao Hua finished kowtowing his head, he said in a fake manner: "Zhao Yajun doesn't have to be polite, get up and talk." Come and give Zhao Ya a seat. ”

The soldiers on the side pulled over a bench and put it in the center of the hall, Zhao Hua was stunned for a moment, and sat down on the bench helplessly. Other officials ask their subordinates, or let their subordinates stand and talk, if they want their subordinates to sit, they have to be a passable chair, and how can anyone sit on a bench and reply. Zhao Hua sat there, and the whole thing was like a newly enlightened toddler sitting in front of Mr. to listen to the class, and his momentum was a little weaker.

"Zhao Yashi, it's almost dark this day, you came in a hurry, but what urgent business is there?" Su Hao asked in a long voice. In fact, in his heart, he already knew Zhao Hua's intention. When Zeng Gui left Zhuangzi, the spies of the survey camp had already seen it, and this little name could not escape Su Hao's monitoring at all.

Zhao Hua calmed down, looked for a feeling, and then handed over his hand to report: "Lord Su, Tan Zhi County received a report from the villagers that there is a group of officers and soldiers operating in Sangyuan Village, and I don't know what official business they have. I also heard that these officers and soldiers are the brothers of the survey battalion under Master Su, so I asked the villain to come to Lord Su to verify and see if there is anything that needs our assistance from Andong County. ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "Oh, it turned out to be for this." This official received the emperor's holy decree and came to Huai'an to assist Governor Pan in governing the river. This survey battalion is a soldier who surveys the river. Today's incident is because Governor Pan intended to build a channel for the Huai River to enter the sea, called the Northern Jiangsu Irrigation Canal. The brothers of the survey camp are surveying the route of this channel. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhao Hua said this, but in fact, he was even more confused in his heart, could it be that Zeng Fengxian's information was wrong, Su Hao led people here, not Qingzhang Tianmu?

"Master Su, I heard that in addition to measuring the land, the brothers of your department also marked the ownership of each plot, why is this?" Zhao Hua continued to ask.

Su Hao smiled: "Don't you understand this, if you want to repair the channel, you naturally have to requisition land." Land acquisition must know who the owner is, and compensate the owner, don't you say? ”

"Yes, yes." Zhao Hua nodded again and again, "If that's the case, then the villain will disturb the adult's official business, and the villain will go back to report to Tan Zhi County." ”

"Not busy." Su Hao said, "Since Zhao Yashi is here, the official just has something to ask Zhao Yashi." The land dispute between Zeng Fengxian and Hu Lin was handled by Zhao Yayi. Can Zhao Yashi know how many acres of land there are in Zeng Fengxian's house? ”

"This ...... The villain doesn't know. Zhao Hua said.

Su Hao said: "Then the official will tell you, the official asked for the booklet of the grain payment in previous years from the grain chief. It is recorded in the booklet that in the past 20 years, Zeng Feng's family has paid grain for service, and it is calculated according to 1,500 acres of land, does this mean that the Zeng family has a total of 1,500 acres of land? ”

"Uh...... It should be......" Zhao Hua understood that Su Hao was going to shake off the goods now, which was exactly what Zeng Fengxian was most worried about. The account book in the grain chief's hand cannot be tampered with, Zeng Fengxian's family concealed the matter of the field, the county government already knew about it, and Zhao Hua knew it well, and now Su Hao picked this out, Zhao Hua really didn't know how to deal with it.

Su Hao picked up a stack of papers from his hand and said, "This is the record of the surveying and mapping of this official's subordinates in Sangyuanzhuang today, and each plot has been confirmed by someone, and it is accurate." According to this measurement result, the Zeng family's acres of land are as many as 3,472 acres, does Zhao Yashi know about this matter? ”

"This ...... Maybe someone is mistaken, this matter of food payment is not in the villain's charge, and the villain really doesn't know how to calculate it. "Zhao Huahan is raining, who doesn't know that the number of acres of these landlords' fields can't stand up to verification at all, Su Hao checked the Zeng family's acres in just one day, Zeng Fengxian really ran into hard stubble.

Su Hao said: "I guess Zhao Yashi doesn't know. Now the number of officials on both sides has been verified clearly, the nature of this matter, whether Zeng Fengxian took advantage of the flood to forcibly occupy more than 1,900 acres of land, or has he concealed more than 1,900 acres of land for 20 years, can Zhao Yashi go to Zeng Fengxian to ask for verification? Also, how to deal with forcibly occupying land according to the law, and what should be the crime of concealing land, Zhao Yashi should know better than me. ”

"This ...... The villain doesn't understand the law, but the villain can go and report to Tan Zhixian to see how the matter should be handled. Zhao Hua said sneeringly.

"Zhao Yagong, Zeng Fengxian's family Zeng Gui is waiting for you outside the door, so you can follow him to Zeng Fengxian's house. Tell Zeng Fengxian not to have any luck, and give an explanation to the official as soon as possible, and the official can spare his life. It's late, and when the official hands over these materials to the prefect, I'm afraid that he will at least be fined for confiscating all the family property and all the men for 3,000 miles. Su Hao put away his previous indifferent face and said to Zhao Hua murderously.

"Villain...... This is going to talk to Zeng Yuanwai, ah no, this Zeng Feng will talk about it first. Zhao Hua slid down from the bench, knelt on the ground, and said to Su Hao. The fastest reading novel is the big master, read the book, welcome to log in.kanshu.la Read the full article!
