Chapter 367: Night Talk

(PS: Chapter 1 is served!) There is also a chapter in the evening. )

The man in the setting sun stood on the ridge, the man on the horse enjoyed the fragrance of rice in the field, the croppers watched for a while, and continued to work with their heads down, and no one noticed that there were two sneaky people in the woods to the east, who quietly left after watching for a while.

Overnight at the farmhouse.

This is an authentic farmhouse, not an independent courtyard of a two-story small building in the Weihou Mansion, nor is it a pavilion and pavilion in the Wang family's mansion where the carved railings and paintings change the scenery step by step, but it is just an ordinary courtyard that can no longer be ordinary.

Because it's too ordinary, it's still shabby.

However, this is one of the few tiled houses in the village. Of course, apart from the halls, most of the roofs are thatched.

The prince was really red and itchy, but fortunately, Xie Shence had already been mentally prepared and said a few common herbs. When the little girl heard this, she immediately looked for it, and thanked Shence for crushing it and using it to soak in water, and the prince was much better after washing it.

At the same time, in the Assassin's Mansion in Suzhou City, a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of a cavalry priest sat opposite a man wearing a three-grade jade belt purple suit.

"Lord Yang, I don't know where Lord Admiral is now?"

Mr. Yang smiled slightly, then took out a letter, put it on the table, and then pushed it to Duan Huai, the assassin of Suzhou, and said, "Lord Assassin, please take a look." ”

Duan Huai picked up the letter, looked at the seal of the Tiqi Division that had been opened on it, opened it cautiously, and then watched.

Just three or two glances, Suzhou Thorn Shi Duan Huai's expression became extremely exciting.

"Ju, actually help the people harvest rice outside the city?"

Mr. Yang smiled: "Then next, Lord Thorn Shi knows what to do, right?" ”

Duan Huai only thought for a moment, and then said: "It's too tiring to drive, I guess I don't want people to disturb me, and this assassin will naturally have arrangements at that time." ”

"So, there's Lord Lao's assassination."

"Don't dare, don't dare. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Admiral care about the people, and they actually deigned to work for the ordinary people, but the officials gave food and clothing, and they were trapped by government affairs, and they couldn't share the worries between His Highness and the Admiral, and they were really ashamed in their hearts. ”

"Lord Assassin Shi is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and he has done his best, which is really too modest."

"Where, where, but where the duty lies"

In another place, in a small building in Suzhou City, a man with a face full of flesh and gold and silver fell into deep thought after listening to the words of the two family members.

"Do you know who those two are?"

"The villain doesn't know."

"I heard that Dou Lao'er's grandson, Dou Liang's kid went to the army, is he back?"

"The villain doesn't look like it, the two are about the same age, but just looking at the two horses, you know that the identity is definitely extraordinary, where can you have it from a few years of army? Unless he became a great general. ”

The short and fat man was silent again, and soon after, he said: "I Huaiyang Dao joined the army, how can it be so easy to be promoted, not to mention whether he Dou Liang has been selected for the Modao Army, even if it is, what can it be?" Huaiyang Dao hasn't fought for many years, what can he do with this big official? ”

A kneeling servant said: "Master, since it is not, it is likely that it is still the most open guess, but it is just a guest who missed the rest." Tomorrow, the villain will test himself, if it weren't for Dou Liang himself or his acquaintance in the army, just come to those few pieces of land. I think it should be okay if your reputation can make those two outsiders dare not make a move, sir. ”

The short and fat man thought for a moment, then nodded, "In that case, then let it go." The above has long been urging, why hasn't this land been taken down for several years. If I can't take it again this year, and I can't drive all the people in Dou Village away, my martial arts family will have a hard time. ”

"The villain understands! Tomorrow we will be able to do this properly. So that the lord can rest assured. ”

The man of the martial family nodded, and then waved his hand to the family to stand down.

With his status and status, it is naturally impossible to know that the two most important guests in Suzhou City help a group of mud-legged people cut rice during the day like Lord Thorn Shi in the Thorn Shi Mansion.

And even if it is the history of Suzhou Thorn, I don't know that Xie Shence and the prince are in Dou Village. Therefore, the Wuda officials naturally didn't know that the two men on good horses were the VIPs of Suzhou Thorn History.

His purpose is to get a piece of land from Dou Village, and then hand it over, and it must be obtained this year.

He didn't care whether the landless Dou Village people could survive or not, he only knew that if he hadn't been able to drive all the Dou Village people away before the first snow this year, then he wouldn't be comfortable living.

This group of untouchable military officials thought so in their hearts. It's just an ant-like thing, and it dares to block its own financial path, and it really doesn't know whether to live or die. I think the flood didn't drown you all a few years ago

However, the martial arts officials thought of Dou Liang's face before joining the army, and the well-behaved and lovely Dou family's informant, so he was angry and annoyed, so he shouted outside the door: "Let the Seventh Lady come over!" ”

Not long after, a woman about sixteen or seventeen years old was brought over, and this woman was the seventh lady.

The Seventh Lady timidly walked up to the military officials and asked, "Are the officials unhappy?" ”

The martial official said viciously: "Slut! If it weren't for the few pieces of broken land in your village, I wouldn't have been troubled by the big officials and took off all my clothes! ”

When the seventh lady heard that it was related to Dou Village, she begged with a crying voice: "Big officials, please let the big officials let go of the slave family, they have done their best, ask the big officials to be gracious."

Where are the military officials willing to listen, if you didn't recommend yourself to the pillow at the beginning, how could you keep the two pieces of land in your family? Not to mention that you are not doing things well, you have also caused this big official to be affected, it's really damned! If it weren't for your slut's hard work in bed, how could this big official let them live well until now.

After a while, there was a miserable cry in the small building, and the guards downstairs seemed to be accustomed to it, talking and laughing, and two of them even took out dozens of dollars to bet on how long the seventh lady could be called this time

After the prince took a hard bath, the girl came over to help pour the water.

Xie Shence looked at the girl's thin body and easily moved the basin of water out, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to be quite strong." ”

The girl said, "That's right! Childe didn't know, but in our village, there were many men who couldn't beat me. ”

"Learned to punch and kick?"

"My brother worshipped a master before joining the army, and he also secretly taught me two tricks."

"Oh? Where did your brother join the army? ”

"Speaking of which, Childe may have heard of it, it's the Modao Army!" The girl's face was full of pride, but then she was a little depressed, and said, "It's just that last time my brother wrote to say that there is not much hope for this year, because our family's field is not enough. The grandmother was anxious about this, so she thought that she would pay off all the rents owed to the military officials this year, and then sell the sunspots, buy two pieces of wasteland, and make up the share."

The prince came out with wet hair, and when he heard this, he asked, "Kuroko? Is that the black donkey? ”

The girl nodded reluctantly.

"This palace will give you a hundred taels of silver."

"That's not going to work! The son's kind intentions are understood, but I dare not accept it. ”

Xie Shence also shook his head slightly towards the crown prince. Such a large sum of silver is almost enough for a family like a girl to eat and wear for a decade or two, and if you get it rashly, it may bring disaster.

And one hundred taels of silver is not enough to thank Shence for buying a medicinal herb for Wang Jiehua.

When the prince saw Xie Shence shaking his head, he also knew that he had lost his words, so he stopped mentioning the matter of silver. Although he grew up in the palace, he also knows the truth of being rich and rich.

"Why does Huaiyang Dao still have land requirements for joining the army?"

Xie Shence explained: "The Mo Dao Army of Huaiyang Dao is a model for Mo Dao in the world, and the selection of sergeants is extremely strict. In addition to the requirement of family size, there are only two or more brothers, and there are also extremely detailed requirements for livestock and land. In the past two years, although the conditions have been reduced, the clearly stipulated rules and regulations must be in order, and they cannot be escaped. ”

Xie Shence did not say it completely, because of the continuous wars in recent years, the land annexation is serious. Not only Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, but Huaiyang Road is no exception.

The serious land annexation has drastically reduced the number of yeoman farmers who own land and property, and it has reached the level of threatening the source of the Modao Army, so the recruitment conditions of the Modao Army in the Great Jin Dynasty will be reduced. However, even so, the number of replenishments brought in each year is still pitiful.

As soon as he thought of this, Xie Shence felt more and more that every Modao soldier who was lost in Hulu Belly Mountain back then was a priceless treasure.

The prince nodded and said, "I just said why Jingying and Yu both like to recruit people from the Huaiyang Dao Mo Sword Army, so that's the case." Only the soldiers selected in this way are the most loyal to my Dajin. ”

In this case, the girl naturally couldn't understand it, so the prince asked: "If your brother chooses the Modao Army, the government will definitely reward him." ”

The girl smiled and said: "Hui Gongzi, it is said that the field will be rewarded, and the household registration can also be moved to the city, not only exempt from taxes and labor, but also rewarded with money and grain every year." ”

Xie Shence said: "The fields are all high-quality fields, and it is not false that the household registration is moved to the city. However, if you want to live in the city, you have to pay for a house yourself. ”

The prince nodded, and his heart was indeed a person who had stayed in Huaiyang Dao for ten years, and he was really familiar with military and political affairs. And the imperial court will give such a great benefit to the ordinary soldiers of the Mo Dao Army, presumably to ensure the loyalty and combat power of the Mo Dao Army - after all, the imperial court has solved all your worries for you, and all you need to do is to kill the enemy for the imperial court.

Because the girl knew that Xie Shence was the son of a big family in Chuzhou City, it was not surprising that Xie Shence would know these things, but just listening to Xie Shence's words, her heart was full of infinite longing.

Xie Shence saw her look in his eyes, so he added.

"It seems that I have heard from my family that those who are registered in Huaiyang Road and Benzhou Road, starting from next year, Modao military families, and those with children can be sent to official schools."

"Really?" The girl stood up happily.

"It should be true."

The girl was so happy that she ran to her parents to tell them the news
