Chapter 275: The Wicked Sue First

Zhao Lie actually rushed back from Shidao, because he was worried that Alexandra would be a little lonely after giving birth, after all, the only person he was most familiar with was Marta, and the other relatives were in Macau, so Zhao Lie returned to Shidao to accompany Alexandra for a few days.

At this time, the skin of the two children has faded to red, and has become a snow-white color, and even a little white to reveal the blood, and the two big eyes are very smart and very pleasing, but they cry loudly.

Zhao Qin said that his voice is so good, which means that his grandchildren are in good health and full of confidence. Now Zhao Qin's mind is on the two eldest grandsons and eldest granddaughters, and the family revolves around the two babies all day long.

Now the whole family is waiting for Zhao Haiming to name him, which is the right of his grandfather. Li Lin also appeared in the Zhao Mansion from time to time to accompany Alexandra or take care of the two children with Zhao Qin.

Zhao Lie found that Alexandra was in a very good mood, so he put his mind at ease, and returned to the Acropolis after accompanying Alexandra for a few days, where there was a lot of things waiting for him.

The port southwest of the Acropolis could only berth ships of less than 200 tons, so Zhao Lie decided to build a trestle bridge on the deeper boundary three miles to the west.

This time, in addition to the 800-ton and more than 1,000-ton Galen ships, other warships can dock at the port, and now shipping is the lifeblood of Zhao Lie's water infantry army, compared to the official situation of the Ming Dynasty, shipping is much more reliable, except for typhoons, can sail, maintaining Zhao Lie's limited military strength can move to the place where it is urgently needed at any time.

When Zhao Lie was discussing with Huang Lie and others whether the road leading from the Acropolis to the new trestle bridge was ten or eight steps wide, Tang Xianwen asked to see him.

"This is how this He Dongjia arrested Lu Quanfu and his mother-in-law, and this man named Deming ran back and told Lu Quanfu's uncle Luo Dahe, and Luo Dahe took them to the official office to redress their grievances." Tang Xianwen recounted.

After a little thought, Zhao Lie decided that this matter could not be retreated, first, this was a matter related to whether hundreds of thousands of fleeing military households could come back to farm, and now Zhao Lie's expectation for Ding Kou is that the more the better. The second is that this is just a battle for Dingkou, and I am afraid that there will be conflicts in the future at the junction between the guard and them.

After many military families fled, their fields were occupied by these gentry, and because of their obscenity, the successive generals of the guard also retreated, or received the benefits of the other party.

Now most of the acres have been measured and checked. There are more than 16,000 acres of land like this, which is not a small amount, and if you give in here, let such a greedy gentry be bold and strong, and each of them will stubbornly resist the Acropolis, and then do nothing else in the next year.

"Huang Han, Tang Xianwen, you are sitting here, don't delay the Acropolis matter, I will lead the guards to investigate." Zhao Lie ordered.

"My lord, it's just a matter for a few military households. I'll go for it. Huang Han said

"I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, you must know that such a gentleman is extremely greedy for Tian Mu Dingkou, and he uses all kinds of means for these things. I can't wait to make a move, I have to shock such people to make a move, so I'm going to go. Zhao Lie shook his head and said.

Half an hour later, Zhao Lie walked out of the official office, except for the fifty guards who remained, the other one hundred and fifty guards had already prepared two horses and armor and waited.

"My lord, this is Lu Quanfu's uncle Luo Dahe." Tang Xianwen pointed to Luo Dahe.

Luo Dahe saw a tall army general wearing a three-rank official uniform walking towards him.

"The subordinate Luo Dahe is the first thousand military households. The younger brother-in-law, Lu Quanfu, was a military household in the former Zhongqian household, and was forced to leave his hometown to farm for Master He in the past. Now I heard that the adults wanted to return to their hometowns for us and other poor military households, but Master He didn't allow it, and the younger brother-in-law Lu Quanfu and his sister wanted to sneak back, but they were found and arrested by Master He's nursing home. ”

Luo Dahe involuntarily pounced and knelt down. Crying. Deming, Luo Xiao, Lu Hai, and Lu Jiang also cried and worshiped on the ground.

"Everyone, please." Zhao Lie motioned to the guards to help them up one by one, "Since you are Jinghaiwei's military household, you are the people under the command of this general, if there are outsiders who oppress you, etc., this general will call the shots." However, the last question of this general is that this statement is false, if it is to deceive the general, don't blame the military law at that time. ”

"My lord, this matter is true, if there is a lie, the little one is willing to fall to the ground." Deming kowtowed vigorously.

"Okay, in that case, I'll wait with you." Zhao Lie helped Deming up, and in just a moment, Deming's forehead was bruised, which showed how hard he worked.

Luo Dahe grew his mouth in surprise, what, what a great honor it is to command the adults to go in person for the sake of their own broken military household affairs.

"Dad, what do you ask?" Luo Xiao shook Luo Dahe's arm and shouted.

"Adults and small ones can ride horses, but they can't ride well, not fast enough." Luo Dahe hurriedly said.

"Then ride slowly. Let's go. Zhao Lie waved his hand.

Everyone returned to their horses, and brought war horses to Luo Dahe and his party, and the group urged the horses to set off.

In order to accommodate Luo Dahe and the others, the horse team did not move fast, and slowly and leisurely marched north.

After an hour and a half, the team finally felt Hejiazhuang, entered Zhuangzi, met a tenant, Deming hurriedly inquired with him, learned the fate of Lu Quanfu, was broken legs and mother-in-law together with the old man He sent to Wendeng to see the official, He old man also went with the escort of the courtyard.

At this time, it was meaningless to enter Hejiazhuang again, and Zhao Lie ordered to continue to go north without entering the village, and drive directly to Wendeng County.

Wendeng County Commander Chen Huaiming is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, he is a person in the first year of the Apocalypse, Wendeng took office to make up for it, spent more than 10,000 taels of silver and countless favors, and has suffered a lot of sins since he took office for more than a year.

The gentry's domineering, the scoundrels of the guard, the Dengzhou Mansion and the mud, every autumn, the Dengzhou Dusi will come to play the swing, so that Wendeng County Labor Army, although he is a small Qipin County Order, that is also a Ming Wenchen, of course, can be full of righteousness.

However, such a ruffian did not come, and secretly let the military households clash with the gentry several times over water sources and acres of land, so that the gentry begged him, and in the end he had to ask for such a ruffian.

Every time such a bad trick is tried, they have caught him, the county commander, who is not afraid of them, but is afraid of the weakness of the gentry.

Alas, such a gentry can't be provoked, many people have people who have been promoted to the jinshi and walk inside and outside the court. Although this place is not the peak of literary style, and the official position he does is not large, it is not something that his small Qipin county order can resist.

No, Master He, a big family in the south, sent an appeal today, sending his tenant Lu to the official because he wanted to escape back to the guard. Therefore, it was sent with discounted legs.

These things, such gentry are ruthless, you say that you can just send them to the official, and you have to discount their legs, do you know that the Ming Law prohibits lynching.

However, Chen Huaiming is just slandering, and the private use of torture instruments is commonplace in the eyes of such gentry, and no official has blamed them for this in the past, not to mention that this person has a reputation for raising people, and he does not kneel when he sees officials. is a proper gentry, and he has no choice but to turn a blind eye.

It's just that this time it's related to such a ruffian as the guard, alas, it's really hard to deal with, I hope the guard won't stand out for this broken military household.

"Lord Chen, this person is a slippery scoundrel, he made a three-year tenant contract with my He family earlier, and now he sees the land assigned by the guard. I was going to turn my back on the Lord, but my nursing home stopped me. He struck the nursing home with a stick in his hand, and my nursing home had no choice but to knock him to the ground. He Qirui's face was majestic, his face was upright, and his tone was unhurried and full of confidence.

"My lord, how can such a slippery person be punished unpunished? From now on, there will be people everywhere who have broken the covenant and forsaken the Lord, and the program will always collapse, and the country will not be a country. ”

Chen Huaiming kept bowing his head on his face, but he was disdainful in his heart. Setting the tenants' rent at 60% is extremely greedy.

For example, in Jiangnan and other places, two crops and three crops a year, even if it is set at sixty percent, tenants can live by harvesting several times a year.

In Shandong, the rent is sixty percent, that is, there is more than half a year to live with wild vegetables and rice bran, that is hard to boil, just like this, the tenant of the pit people, you can also be confident and majestic to say, it is really a copper wall and iron sheet.

Look at the unconscious tenant in the hall and his mother-in-law who is crying constantly, you can see the viciousness of your bastard, phew, what is attacking the nursing home, he is crazy, a person with a mother-in-law attacks more than ten people, these people are also people who study the books of sages, I bah.

"What He Juren said is extremely true, this official will definitely punish such people in peace, but now, this person is unconscious, and this official cannot be promoted to court to judge the case, He Juren might as well wait for this person to wake up before filing a lawsuit." Although Chen Huaiming was slandered in his heart, he was also a member of the gentry, and he knew that there was something strange about it, and he had to help this person.

"Thank you, sir, everything is done according to what your lord says, and everything will be followed." He Qirui had a good attitude at this time.

"Come, put these two criminals in prison." Chen Huaiming was shocked.

The officials on both sides replied and dragged the two away.

"What are the things you said about the division of the land?" Chen Huaiming is very interested in this new thing, without him, I have never heard of it.

"My lord doesn't know that after Zhao Lie, the new commander of Jinghaiwei, a yellow-haired boy, recently took office, he ordered the distribution of acres of land to landless military households, 30 acres for each family, and for military households with less than 30 acres, they made up for 30 acres of land, and in addition, they were also given seeds and livestock to dig irrigation wells for military households."

The more He Qirui said that Chen Huaiming's mouth grew bigger, He Qirui was helpless, image, image, you are a parent official of Qipin County, how can you be so uncontrollable.

"This Zhao Lie also has a bit of a bodhisattva heart, but it costs a lot like this." Chen Huaiming was surprised.

"I can't get down without tens of thousands of taels of silver," He Qirui pursed his lips, looking extremely disdainful, "It's just that he relied on his father to command the Weihai Sea Master, and he got some money from the sea trade in private, recruited some family members, and got this errand by killing good people when he was guarding in Gyeonggi, but he was just a vulgar lucky martial artist." ”

Chen Huaiming glanced at him, oh, vulgar martial arts, vulgar martial arts can open up wasteland for subordinates, but you broke the tenant's legs, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a scholar, I am really ashamed.

"This Zhao Lie doesn't blame the official for sounding familiar, it turned out to be the person who went into battle to kill the enemy chieftain, but, what a person, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

"My lord doesn't know that not only does he give land to the current military households, but the military households who fled in the past can also allocate acres of land, so this kind of military household refuses to rely on the tenant agreement." He Juren said angrily, "This person acts like this, which makes the homes of dozens of gentry in the south of Wendeng restless." ”

"I don't know if there is such a reason, how can people rest assured, and the official will definitely handle it impartially at that time." Chen Huaiming secretly scolded this person in his heart for being rich and unkind, but his mouth was square and square. (To be continued.) )
