The Lord's Mansion of Zhuyang County.

Since the death of the first emperor, for a long time, the Xiao family, the lord of Zhuyang, has never left the mansion.

Her feelings for the former emperor are complicated.

As cousins, she hated, hated their family.

But when the former emperor Yongtai died suddenly, Xiao felt sad again.

She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't want to leave the house.

After sending the emperor away, she closed the door to thank guests and cultivate her self-cultivation.

There was a lot of commotion outside, and she didn't even ask.

Yan Yunge was worried.

Mother Xiao is in a very wrong state.

She tried to comfort her, but her words were too pale, and she didn't know much about the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation.

Xiao Shi smiled at her, "Don't worry about me, I just miss the bits and pieces of life in the palace when I was a child." ”

Yan Yunge asked, "Does my mother miss my grandfather and grandmother?" Do you want to go to the grave? ”

Xiao shook his head, "Don't go!" ”

Hundreds or thousands of spirit cards suffocated her.

Facing her parents' tombstones, she was devastated.

Every sacrifice, every tomb sweeping, is an ordeal.

Because, the spirit of the dead is whipping her conscience, whipping her soul.

Why not take revenge?

Xiao Shi smiled bitterly, "Everyone is dead, and I didn't even leave a last word before I died, who should I seek revenge?" Look at this world, it's a mess, and the entire Xiao family has been retributed. Hey......"

A sigh!

"Mother doesn't have to worry, the situation won't be bad forever."

Xiao Shi shook his head, "This winter must be very cold, and the imperial court is still leviing forced labor to transport grain and grass at this time, and people will die, and a large number of people will die." The emperor is in a hurry, in a hurry! But God is tossing again, either drought or freezing, and he is determined not to let the Great Wei country be stable. And in the court, a ** thief, no one reminded the emperor. This winter, I am afraid that the anti-thieves team will grow even stronger, and more people will be displaced and join the anti-thieves! ”

Yan Yunge thought for a moment.

Since comfort is pale, it is better to tell the truth.

Yan Yunge said: "Conscription makes people miserable. Recently, the news from the mountain village is all about conscription. Every family is scraping together money and planning to redeem the conscription. Moreover, the government also targeted the group of homeless tenants, and wanted to levy forced labor among the homeless tenants. This matter is very noisy.

Tens of thousands of people, whose household registration is not in Gyeonggi, are not in the case of levy. However, the imperial court stipulated that if the homeless tenants had settled in the capital for more than three years, they should be under the jurisdiction of the local government, and the government could levy forced labor on the homeless tenants.

The villa can't openly confront the government, and they are just tenants, not the villagers of the villa, and they are free and good citizens in terms of identity. On the side of the villa, there are people crying every day and calling their fathers and mothers. I can't come forward in this matter, and I will be exempted from tens of thousands of people from forced labor in one go, and the government and the court must hate me to death.

However, this winter's weather is abnormal, extremely cold, as long as you are alive, you can feel it. At this time, the imperial court requisitioned hundreds of thousands of people to transport grain and grass, and if they did not prepare in advance, not only would they die, but a large number of people would die, and maybe there would be chaos. ”

Xiao Shi's brows furrowed, and she said another thing, "Jin Wuwei has not yet found out the truth about the explosion of the Military War Bureau, which shows that this matter is deeply buried. ”

"It's also possible that Jin Wuwei is not as good as it used to be. I have found clues, and I can't find anything down. Hell yes! ”

It has been some time since the bombing of the War Bureau.

Jin Wuwei has not yet found out the mastermind behind the scenes, and Jin Wu Zheng Gang has eaten and scolded several times.

If he still can't find anything useful, he doesn't have to do it.

When the time comes, Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi will be able to change his name justifiably.

Zheng Gang is under a lot of pressure, and it can be said that the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry.

Two days ago, he dared to come to the county lord's mansion to harass him, and was finally driven out by Yan Yunge with a sharp arrow.

Idiot!

Xiao Shi looked at the gloomy sky, his face worried.

If you think about it carefully, since the first emperor killed the princes and kings of the world, it seems that the national fortunes of the Great Wei Dynasty are going downhill.

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

Since the killing of the princes and kings of the world, nothing has gone smoothly in the court.

The man-made disaster has not gone yet, and the natural disaster has come again!

Like, like a punishment.

punished the Son of Heaven for his perverse behavior, killed his clan relatives, and displaced the people by military disasters!

"Could it be that God is really punishing the Great Wei Dynasty?"

Yan Yunge looked up at the sky, "If my mother is worried, do you want to invite the adults of Qin Tianjian to come to the mansion as a guest and test the good luck?" ”

Xiao laughed to himself, "That's it! If it's really a curse, there is nothing this palace can do. ”

Yan Yunge said solemnly: "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Even if it is really a curse, there will always be an end to it. ”

Xiao Shi let out a "hmm", noncommittal.

She was afraid that she would not be able to wait for that day.

……

Those who have money can only redeem and pay for servitude, and those who have no money can only go to the government to report on time.

Hundreds of thousands of people set out in batches to escort grain, grass, equipment, and cotton clothes to the northern frontier.

The cold wind howled.

On the day of Minfu's departure, countless people stood on the hillside to see each other off, crying bitterly.

This farewell may be a farewell.

The court is so ruthless!

On such a cold day, hundreds of thousands of people were to be conscripted to go to the cold frontier.

I didn't have enough food and clothing along the way, and I had to get up early and rush in the dark.

Could it be that the officials of the imperial court don't know that many people will die on this trip?

Aren't these people the people of the imperial court?

However, it was the people of the Gyeonggi area and several nearby state capitals who were requisitioned.

These conscripted men had already served their conscription in accordance with the laws of the imperial court this year, so why did they have to serve a second conscription in the same year?

What do you say to deduct the next year's conscription, even your life is gone, and the deduction is a fart.

Everyone's face is sad, and everyone's heart is cursing.

The overseers of the imperial court are still urging constantly, making every citizen's heart desolate.

Yan Yunge sat on the carriage, which stood on the hillside.

She could only sigh when she looked at the endless ranks of people.

Serving in conscription, without half a penny of wages, you have to send grain and grass to the front on time.

Otherwise, it is seriously engaged in military law.

If it is lighter, maybe it will be forcibly left in the army to do logistics, and it will not be able to return to its hometown until it is gracious from above.

She asked Ah Bei, "How many people are serving in the villa?" ”

"There are about a thousand people. It's all those people who spend money very loosely on weekdays, and when it comes to death, let alone five buckets of rice, they can't even take out half a bucket of rice. If there were only a few dozen people in such a situation, the lodge could lend them food. However, there are too many people, thousands of people, and Mr. Han said that he does not suffer from inequality, and he did not take the initiative to lend food to these people for fear of problems. ”

Yan Yunge nodded, there are thousands of people, there are too many people, it is right not to take the initiative to borrow food.

Nirvana Villa is not so rich that it is just barely maintained.

In addition, people's hearts are complicated, locals, foreigners, and homeless people......

Once the handling is not done correctly, it may lead to various contradictions.

Han Qizong's concerns were right.

In other words, he may take the initiative to borrow money and food to those who have no savings at home.

……

Beginning of winter!

Time officially entered the winter of the fifteenth year of Yongtai.

In a few months, it will be the first year of Taining.

This winter, as officials from the Qin Heavenly Prison put it, were unusually cold.

There is floor heating burning in the room, and I don't realize it.

As soon as I walked out of the door, the cold wind brushed and poured into my neck.

From head to toe, inside and out, it's cold.

There is a kind of coldness that peeks through the cracks in the bones.

Yan Yunge went to the garden pond to fish, maybe the fish was smart, maybe it was too cold to move, in short, after two hours, she didn't catch a single fish.

Wake up early in the morning and the pond is frozen.

The ground with standing water has been transformed into a snow and ice surface.

If you take a careful step, you will have to fall on all fours.

In such cold weather, there is no way to work outdoors.

Yan Yunge has already ordered Han Qizong that this winter, the villa will not open up wasteland or dig ditches.

I really can't stop some diligent people, so let them go.

Do more manual work, weave more, and make cotton jackets, which are in great demand.

Shaofu's inventory was insufficient, so he actually found Yan Yunge to buy cotton and linen cloth, and also made ready-to-order clothes.

It's big business!

It's just that......

"Shaofu is really out of stock? There are so many looms and so many embroiderers in Huangzhuang, but they can't meet the needs of Shaofu? ”

"It was very cold at the border pass, and several generals went to the imperial court one after another, saying that there were not enough cotton clothes and bedding at the border pass, and a large number of cotton clothes and bedding were urgently needed. There are a lot of stocks in Shaofu, but most of them are silk and satin. When fighting at the border, you can't use silk and satin. I heard that there is a huge textile workshop in Fugui Villa, and there is a large amount of cotton stock, so Miss Yan Si should do me a favor, the price is negotiable. ”

Yan Yunge hesitated, "Adults can't find cloth for supply?" ”

Shaofu official: "The little inventory in Buzhuang is not enough for Shaofu to plug his teeth." Don't hide it from Miss Yansi, in the entire Gyeonggi area, your Fugui Villa is the most convenient and closest one. Farther away, it will go out of Gyeonggi, and it will be too far to transport cloth from the south, and the freight will be expensive.

And the time is too long, delaying the major events of the imperial court, and the official can't eat and walk around. Miss Yansi, we have worked together for many years, and this time you have to help the official no matter what. ”

Yan Yunge asked him, "I don't know how much cloth Shaofu needs?" ”

The Shaofu official hurriedly said: "Three thousand pieces of cotton, ten thousand pieces of linen, and 10,000 sets of linen garments first." This is the first order, with more to come. ”

Yan Yunge frowned, this is a big order.

She said to the Shaofu officials: "What is the price, how to settle it?" ”

"The market price is 20% off, one hand is delivered, and the other hand is paid."

Yan Yunge shook his head, "The market price is eighty-fifty percent off, pay fifty percent of the deposit first, and pay the remaining fifty percent of the payment when it is delivered." In addition, Shaofu wants to give me a little time to stock up. ”

"Given the money, the official can fight for it. The stocking time, up to ten days, can only give you ten days. It's not that the official is harsh, but the urgency from above, and the official can't help it. By the way, I heard that this General Hou Yan of Guangning also gave the imperial court a book, asking for money, food, cloth and cotton clothes. ”

The corners of Yan Yunge's mouth twitched.

Yan Shouzhan didn't ask the court for money and food, that was a strange thing.
