"You guys, you're just young and impulsive, you see, just watched a house raid, and you became addicted." Yang Chengzu looked at Jiang Dalang with a smile, his tone was not very respectful, but Jiang Dalang now looked at Yang Chengzu's eyes, and there was already a little more admiration, but there was no unhappiness in it because of the other party's tone. Or for him, a person like this should speak like this, which is in line with his identity.

"Let me participate next time, I can also do it, or help you scold." Jiang Dalang persevered.

"I don't have a problem with that, but I don't want to teach you children badly, and besides, you probably won't have a chance. You understand the reason for killing chickens to show monkeys, but if you kill both chickens and monkeys, then who will lay eggs and who will play for us, don't you say? After all, so many granges, so many tenants, and the people of the palace can't manage it, so they must use the head of the village. Moreover, whether it is the reclamation of wasteland or the organization of production, these are inseparable from the head of the village, and the harvest of the field is good, and the head of the village is contributed. However, they think that this kind of contribution can be as big as the field belongs to themselves, that is, they are not clear-headed. I didn't think about killing all the bosses, I just taught them how to behave. ”

"Yizheng, what do you mean?"

"Zhu Guang is the hardest waist pole among these Zhuang heads, and the one who can make the most trouble. After cleaning him up, the others knew that it was powerful, so they started to use the knife from him. As soon as we went out of the city, those people in the village also spread out to find out the news and smell the smell. When I copied Zhu's house just now, I think the ears and eyes of the other Zhuang heads have also seen it, and we can see their reactions when we walk around again. ”

How would they react? Will you gather Ding Zhuang and fight with us? When Jiang Dalang said this possibility, his tone was unnaturally filled with a little excitement. At his age, the fear of blood is actually far less than expected, and he even hopes in his bones that he will really fight like this, and it will be good to see what the legendary blood is all over the ground and what it looks like if the bones are broken and the tendons are broken.

However, Yang Chengzu's words dashed his hope in an instant. "What you say may be true, but it's not big, after all, they are croppers, not robbers. At this time, if they dare to do this, I can immediately say that they are the same party of King Ning, and the next thing is that the official army will come to raid the house. Those who can be in charge of the Wangfu Grange, at least there are no idiots, they will not use this method to hard top, I think the next thing, most of them still have to talk. This is called a punch open, avoiding a hundred punches. ”

Sure enough, after walking for about an hour, two Zhuangzi heads came to greet them. This time, it was not the young and strong children who were brought, but the women in the village, who also held hot food and soup in their hands, and after meeting, they were also obedient to each other.

Yang Chengzu did not take a tough confrontation like he did with Zhu Guang before, it seemed that his anger was used up in the Zhu family. He was also very polite to these two village heads, and those diets also made the soldiers feel at ease. When eating and resting, the ambassador of the tent room and warehouse began to take the account book and settle the accounts for the head of the village.

The two bankers did not excuse or bargain, but neatly agreed to make up for the arrears. For the silver part, he will find a way to pay for the cash, and as for the grain, he will be loaded into a cart and sent to the government later. Even if someone says that they can't pay it for the time being because of the discrepancy in numbers, they are willing to make a note and borrow money from the palace at a higher interest rate, and use the borrowed money to pay rent.

Yang Chengzu's attitude towards them also reciprocated with lenient treatment, and in terms of tax calculation, he also gave appropriate reductions and exemptions, or installment payments, in short, the two heads of the village left happily in the end, which was in stark contrast to the scene of the Zhu family crying all the way.

In the evening, instead of resting at the Grange, the group chose to camp in the wilderness. Tents were erected, and everyone lit bonfires to heat up the dry food they had brought with them. Yang Chengzu and these officers had soldiers waiting for them, and some people went to catch fish and roast them for them.

Anlu has beautiful mountains and clear waters, the fish is big and fat, and the taste is also good. Yang Chengzu handed a grilled fish to Jiang Dalang, looked at his appearance of eating fish, and asked with a smile, "Haven't you eaten it?" ”

"Nope." Jiang Dalang nodded, and then asked, "Why don't you let these people rest in the grange?" I see that those bankers are very enthusiastic invitations, are you afraid that they will plot against us at night? ”

"They dare! Plotting against the officers and soldiers, are you impatient? It's not like that, it's this unit that just takes this opportunity to practice. A long-distance march is originally a kind of training, although the Honor Guard Division is a royal guard and does not undertake combat tasks, but it is not harmful to be prepared and trained. Let them stay in the wilderness, which is also one of the subjects of training, and only after practicing can they be qualified to become good soldiers. ”

"What, Yi is worried that An Lu will tear up?"

"You kid, why do you come to the spirit as soon as you hear about tearing and killing, don't expect to have tearing and killing. There are only about 700 people in the Honor Guard Division, and the palace is so big, if it is really time for the Honor Guard Division to tear it up, the royal family, the prince, and the princess will definitely be disturbed, which is not a good thing. It's just that since Ning Fan rebelled, we must always take precautions, it is said that he will not divide troops to take Anlu, but Hu Guangshu is familiar with the world, in case he is confused, he really sent a partial division to take it, and it is good to take precautions. ”

What Yang Chengzu thought in his heart was to use this opportunity to train the team, so that in the future, this team would have the opportunity to become the emperor's henchmen and go to various places to undertake tasks. However, this kind of thing is obviously not suitable to talk about here, so I have to use King Ning as a shield.

Jiang Dalang said: "Yizheng, you started to raid your house today, why don't you use these honor guards, but only your people." Could it be these people, they are unreliable? ”

"It's not, they are very reliable, if the guards of the palace are not reliable, then the palace will be miserable? But there is one thing, they are locals, and many of them are related to the military households in those granges, maybe they are relatives of a certain village, and it is inconvenient to start. It's not that they are disloyal to the palace, but they are in a dilemma, it is not good to help anyone, and in the end they have to behave. My people don't even know the language with them, and they don't have anything to do with each other, so naturally they just do whatever they want without any scruples. In fact, collecting taxes is also a truth, why is it difficult to collect taxes in the imperial court? The local officials and gentry are too deeply involved with each other, and even sometimes the gentry support the officials and the army, which is more convenient than the imperial court, how to collect taxes? ”

"That means that if the soldiers and the gentry do not know each other, the tax is guaranteed?"

"You can't say that, even if you transfer troops from other places, it's for a while, not for a lifetime. The gentry always have the means to let these foreign troops have some involvement with them, and then they can continue to do whatever they want. Therefore, if you want to ensure that the tax revenue is paid or that the order is implemented, the first thing to do is to have a force that is loyal to you and obeys your orders. With this team in hand, it is the guarantee that is the foundation, and without this foundation, no saint education will be used. ”
