"Although they are all heroic, their origins are very different." Zhang Yanju, as a transfer envoy of Hebei East Road, did not delay government affairs at all, and had a clear grasp of the situation in the jurisdiction. He said to Huyan Gengfen one by one.

Chai Jin is the best known to Huyan Geng, a descendant of the Great Zhou, in the second year of Jianyan, Hu Yangeng also used the pressure of the displaced people to collect summer tax and autumn tax from Chai Jin. Chai Jin is now desperately protecting his family's fields in Hejian and Cangzhou, and the two taxes that should be paid are a lot of money, and he is vain about other requirements.

As early as the Zhenghe period, there were a large number of landless and landless peasants who took refuge in the Chai family as slaves, and when they became slaves, their own land and property were included in the Chai family's door, and they could evade taxes, and the slaves were not Dingkou, so they did not have to serve labor and military service. Although he was still oppressed and exploited by the gentry and the master's family, he still had to work for the master's family, but the two evils were the same, and it was always the court labor that went to a hundred miles to cause more damage.

There are more poor people and homeless people who have fled to granges like Chai Jin, and there are fewer Dingkou under the protection armor set up by Huyan Geng. But although the harm is huge, it is a hidden worry in the future, not a near-term problem. Zhang Yanju is not too worried.

"Chai Jin is here, although he bears the name of a clan, but after all, the remnants of the previous dynasty dare not make a taboo, so as long as we stand on the position of the imperial court, Chai Jin does not dare to carry it."

"What about the Jade Qilin, how about Zengtou City and Zhujiazhuang?"

"Jade Qilin's original name was Lu Junyi, and he was a person from the Daimyo Mansion, and his family's industry dominated the streets of the Daimyo. Since the first siege of the Daimyo by the Jin soldiers, Lu Junyi has moved his property out of the Daimyo. ”

"Such a person should hate the gold thief."

"Before the gold thieves broke the city, he left the Daimyo Mansion with his family, and the clansmen were not harmed by the gold thieves, and there was no mortal enmity with the Jin people."

"What about our army? Is there a mortal feud? ”

"That may not be absent. Lu Junyi sold the property of the Daimyo's Mansion in exchange for silver taels, and bought land in the Hedong Prefectures, but because of the rebellion, he did not receive the title deed and land deed from the government, nor did he enter the fish scale book. Since the pacification and restoration of Hebei, the borderless land has been classified as Baojia, and most of them are the land bought by Lu Junyi. Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing his parents, the resentment in Lu Junyi's heart can be imagined. ”

"What did Lu Junyi do?"

"Return."

"Rebish? Ben Fu only knows that there is a return on the border, is Lu Junyi a traffic thief? ”

"It's hard to say, our army protects the armor, implements the pacification division, protects the armor, and the peasant households have a three-point system, and those who pay enough to appease, leave enough to protect the armor, and the rest is their own, and the mutual assistance of the people is valued according to labor service. Some treacherous people underreported their output to the pacification department, and used the grain they had concealed as a return in exchange for cash. ”

"Oh, the dual-track food system." Hu Yangeng experienced the era of grain stamps, and naturally knew that there were some "private grain dealers" who exchanged small daily necessities for grain in the hands of farmers, and then sold them at high prices in the cities. Lu Junyi probably did this kind of thing. In the case of insufficient food supply, it is natural for some people to take such risks and wait for the grain production to be greatly abundant...... Forget it, it was impossible in the Song Dynasty.

"The only way to make an example of such illicit grain dealers is to kill them." Hu Yangeng said hatefully.

"There are difficulties in punishing him." Zhang Yancheng said, "On the surface, Lu Junyi has no contact with the Jin people, the imperial court fought with the Jin people, Lu Junyi also helped a lot, the famous city was broken, the residents fled, Lu Junyi had a lot of relief, otherwise he would not have gotten the name of Hebei Jade Qilin." ”

"Therefore, if we want to deal with Lu Junyi now, it will seem that our army and the 'village sages' are grabbing food and fighting for territory?"

"Exactly." Zhang Yancheng sighed, "If you have the heart to appease, you need to leave a way out for people like Lu Junyi, otherwise, you will only be afraid of the official ...... The official reputation is in the way. It was easy for Zhang Yancheng to swallow the "official coercion" into his stomach.

Way out? How can there be no way out? It's just not time yet. Hu Yangeng said: "Let's put Lu Junyi aside, what's going on with Zengtou City and Zhujiazhuang?" ”

"In the former Liao, the Song and Liao countries traded with each other, the Zeng family is a Han people in the north, there are quite some contacts in Jixian County, know some nobles of the Liao State, operate a field outside the gate of Jixian County, sit a good business, the Zeng family will build this field into a dock fort, occupy it, this field has become his exclusive business, called Zengtou City. The gold thief also sold ginseng mink skins in this Zengtou market in exchange for salt and iron. The Jin State destroyed the Liao and invaded the Song Dynasty, and this Zengtou City relied on the relationship with the Jin people, opened another field in the Daimyo, and forcibly occupied several dock forts by the Hutuo River. ”

Hu Yangeng thought to himself, if Lu Junyi was doing business on Hebei East Road, then Zengtou City was doing business in enemy-occupied areas. This kind of force is really difficult to deal with. Hu Yangeng asked: "Are the several dock forts on the Hutuo River on the east bank of the river?" ”

The control area under Huyan Geng's command and the area controlled by Jin Bing are roughly bounded by the Hutuo River, and the east is under the actual control of Hu Yangeng.

"There are both the east bank and the west bank, just occupying a few dock forts on the east bank, it will not help, even if the dock forts along the Hutuo River are destroyed, we will cut off the connection between the east and west banks."

"Don't worry about the scorching cold, Kou can go, I can also go, like Zengtou City, who does business between enemy countries, it doesn't necessarily have to be exterminated, you can let it go first, in the long run, what's going on with Zhujiazhuang?"

"Zhujiazhuang is a strong man in the south, when the gold thief occupied the East Hebei Road, he once occupied Leling with Lijiazhuang, Qiaojiabao, etc., claiming to be the lord of the city, to be pacified and restored Hebei, especially to kill Zhang Yiqian's rebellion, the Zhu family withdrew from Leling, according to the village self-defense."

"Leling?" Hu Yangeng faintly had the impression that the defender of Leling City was called Li Ying, and the Marquis of Baojia Yu was Jiao Ting, who was busy fighting with the Jin soldiers at that time, and didn't pay attention, didn't these two people correspond to the characters in the Water Margin? Or is it that the person who left his name in history was played by Shi Nai'an?

"Is Li Ying the owner of Lijiazhuang?"

"Exactly, during the Xuanhe period, he once rebelled with the Liangshan bandits, and after Liangshan was determined by Zhang Xiang, Li Ying did not want an official position, and did not follow the army to the south to conquer Fangla, but returned to his hometown and continued to be the owner of his village."

"It doesn't matter what else, since Zhujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang have it, can there be Hujiazhuang? Is there a Hu Sanniang in Hujiazhuang? ”

Zhang Yanju also heard about Hu Yangeng's not very good hobby, he smiled secretly in his heart, and replied: "There was indeed a Hujiazhuang in the past, but it was broken by the Liangshan thieves back then, and Hu Cheng, the son of the Hu family, went to join the Western Army, and now I don't know where it is." Hu Sanniang...... Calculated from the year Hu Cheng went to the Western Army, this Hu Sanniang's age is not young now, so there is no need to worry about appeasing him. ”
