Chapter 420: Buying People's Hearts

Lin Yubin has been diagnosed with pregnancy, and Lin You is also very happy, especially since this child is still surnamed Lin, he has long wanted to tell Lin Qingwan to make her happy, but Shang Mingjie said that Yubin was afraid that she would worry, so he didn't say it.

But since she went to Liaoying as a hostage, Lin You and Shang Mingjie agreed that it was better for her to be worried, and to worry more about her in order to better protect herself.

Shang Mingjie opened the letter, and sure enough, Lin Qingwan didn't receive his letter, and wrote down what she asked him to do, so he put the letter away and said, "Let's send another letter to my aunt, this time let someone send it in person, and by the way, pack some food and send it." ”

Lin You said: "The border is bitterly cold, and there is a shortage of everything, so I made a list for someone to buy it after a while." ”

Lin Qingwan did not receive the letter, and that time was the most intense time of the war, not only her, but also many people's letters were lost.

Now that the fighting has stopped, the post station is back to normal.

Youzhou and Yunzhou have also slowly settled down, because the Lantern Festival is approaching, and the previously cold market has also begun to be lively.

Lin Qingwan was sitting in a carriage at this time, there were not many people on the street, there was only one stall after ten or so steps, whether it was the flow of people, the type of goods or the size of the stall, it was far worse than Dingzhou, not to mention Jiangnan.

She asked Xiao Shi to push the car window, leaning against the window and looking at the people outside, Xiao Shi said in a low voice: "It's much better now, there was no one on the street some time ago, and I can't buy some oil paper if I want to." ”

Lin Qingwan asked curiously, "What do you buy oil paper for?" ”

Xiao Shi's face was slightly red, and he glanced at Lin Qingwan shyly and said, "The Lantern Festival is coming, I want to make a lantern for the county lord." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, "You have a heart, we'll buy some later." ”

Seeing that Lin Qingwan didn't refuse, Xiao Shi said happily: "Then I'll buy more, in addition to the lanterns, I will also make Kong Ming lanterns, and when the time comes, I will make one for the county lord and my brother, and pray for your peace and joy." ”

"Why did you forget to make one for yourself?" Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "Buy more, let Jiang Qian and them give you a hand when the time comes, the barracks are full of rough men, they definitely don't remember the Lantern Festival lantern appreciation." Let's do more hanging, more festive atmosphere. ”

Xiao Shi happily responded "yes".

The two of them looked out as they spoke, and when they were about to cross an intersection, a man in tattered clothes turned out quickly at the turn, and when he saw the guards around the carriage, his face changed again, and he turned around and ran into the alley, only to bump into an old man carrying a flat burden, and the cabbage in the burden was instantly scattered on the ground, and the man also fell.

Jiang Qian, who is now in charge of Lin Qingwan's safety, didn't want to let people come forward and catch him.

Now there are a lot of Liao people in Youzhou, who knows if there are assassins among them?

The captain has told him that he must not allow danger to appear by the county lord's side.

So he has always been very careful, and the county lord came out to parade the streets to observe the people's feelings, so he picked a lot of good hands in the army to follow and protect.

A few people pounced on them, and soon caught the fleeing man, and the people in the street scattered in a hurry, standing far away and looking at this side, their eyes full of fear and worry.

Lin Qingwan swept their gaze, frowned slightly, lifted the curtain and got off the train, and stood in front of the man.

This is a Liao man, his face is dirty, and there are many grinding cuts on his hands, and Lin Qingwan can see that they are bloody wounds that are grinding out with weapons.

What Lin Qingwan could see, Jiang Qian could see it even more, in addition, Jiang Qian also found that he had a knife wound on his body, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and followed Lin Qingwan tightly and said, "County Lord, it's a Liao soldier." “

Liaoren's face changed, he looked up at Lin Qingwan, and said in awkward Chinese: "I won't kill you, I have no malicious ......."

Lin Qingwan squatted down and looked him in the eye and asked, "Are you a Liao soldier who escaped?" ”

The other party choked, his face changed, and finally he bowed his head ugly and responded, "Yes!" ”

"Why did you come back?"

The word back stimulated him, and he looked up excitedly and said: "My home is here, I, I didn't want to assassinate you, I just passed by and wanted to go home." ”

Lin Qingwan asked, "Where is your home?" ”

He closed his mouth and said nothing.

Jiang Qian pressed his ribs with his fingers, squinted his eyes and asked, "What did our county lord ask you about?" ”

The other party snorted, but still gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Jiang Qian, and Jiang Qian immediately withdrew his finger.

Lin Qingwan waved his hand to the guards holding him, motioning for them to let him go, "Since you're back, let's go to the yamen to register." ”

Lin Qingwan said: "Spring is coming, the land is about to thaw, go to register and divide the field, you are Liao, even if you don't know how to farm, you can learn from your neighbors, no matter how bad it is, you can rent the land to others, so as not to achieve nothing." ”

The man looked at Lin Qingwan in a daze.

Lin Qingwan smiled with him seriously: "The war is over, this is the sin of the superiors, it has nothing to do with you soldiers, now Youzhou and Yunzhou have been recovered by Daliang, if you continue to live in Youzhou, that is the people of my Daliang." ”

Lin Qingwan said: "In Daliang, you must abide by the rules of Daliang and do your duty for the people, naturally, my Daliang will also shelter you." If you don't want to stay in Youzhou, then leave as soon as possible, or leave by yourself, or bring your own family, but I hope your family will leave with you voluntarily, if they don't want to, please don't force them. ”

Jiang Qian's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Qingwan and stopped talking.

Lin Qingwan had already turned around and helped Xiao Shi's hand to get into the carriage, and finally, she stood on the carriage and looked at the people around her and said loudly: "Folks, I know that there are many people in this city who have Khitan people at home, or have relatives who are Khitans, and there are many people in the younger generations who have the blood of Khitan and Han people, but no matter what nationality he is, he is a Liang person in my Daliang!" ”

"We have no second-class people, third-class people, the people are the same, Emperor Daliang is open-minded, and his policy towards the nation refers to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, no matter who you used to be, whether you were an ordinary herdsman or a Liao soldier who was defeated and fled, now as long as you don't destroy the stability of the Liang State and don't violate the law and harm people, then my Yamen of Daliang will not arrest you! Lin Qingwan said in a deep voice: "I will guarantee in the name of my lord of Daliang County, the Shangshu of the Imperial Academy. ”

In the crowd, an old Khitan couldn't help but ask in a loud voice: "County Lord, can the Khitans really be the same as the Han people?" ”

Lin Qingwan turned her head to look at him and said with a smile: "Of course, can the old man have children and grandchildren studying?" If so, if he is sent to the imperial examination, I can guarantee that the county government will not open the way for him. ”

The old Khitan smiled with a wrinkle on his face, shook his hand and said: "But there are no scholars, but there are two naughty children, and I will let them herd sheep in the future." ”

Everyone laughed kindly, and looked at this side with a much kinder gaze.

Lin Qingwan looked at the Liao man at this time, and said: "You go, remember, if you don't want to stay in Youzhou, then leave as soon as possible, the yamen will often check the household registration, and when you have no identity, you will be driven away as a homeless person." ”

The man hesitated, knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Qingwan and ran into the crowd, and people kindly gave him a way.

Not everyone wants to fight, whether it is the Liang people or the Liao people, for ordinary people, war is the last choice they want.

There are many people on this street who have relatives in the Liao camp, and at this time the Liao camp is broken up and the soldiers are scattered, and there will definitely be people who want to come back.

Lin Qingwan didn't want to play cat and mouse tricks with them, it would take a lot of effort, and if someone really got in and did sabotage, it should be a while later.

At that time, I'll leave it to the new assassin history to worry about, and now it's better to buy people's hearts.

The newly appointed Youzhou Thorn Shi didn't know that he was dug by Lin Qingwan before he arrived, and he was rushing to Youzhou and Yunzhou with the Yunzhou Thorn Shi at this time.

Both of them are a strong man with the ambition of never returning, no way, at this time it is not sure whether Youzhou and Yunzhou can be saved.

I heard that the Liao State is already gathering troops, maybe they will live and die with the newly defeated city.

Lin Qingwan's words on the street instantly spread all over the streets and alleys, as well as the countryside of Youzhou.

Hiding in his home, the Liao soldiers, who didn't even dare to go out, heard the news from their families, and hesitated not to go to Youzhou City, but began to ask their families to pay attention to the situation in Youzhou.

Within two days, definite news came, saying that Liao soldiers had gone to register, and sure enough, they got a new household registration, and they were not questioned, but they were strictly ordered not to fight and break the law.

Many Liao soldiers who were hiding at home or in the homes of relatives were excited, and hurriedly asked their families to go into the city to inquire.

It turned out that a group of fleeing Liao soldiers were chased into the forest, because the Liang army quickly captured Youzhou, and they did not escape.

I didn't dare to go down the mountain, so I hid in the mountain all the time and almost froze to death.

As a result, when I heard the news when I was trading with the people under the mountain, I hesitated for a long time, but I still sent two people to test the newly opened Youzhou Yamen.

The people who went in quickly got a new household registration, and then they walked out unharmed, and went back to find their friends in a daze.

The friends were stunned, and then they took up the courage to go to the yamen to register together, and the officials and Khitans in it registered for them, but they were not allowed to get together, saying that it was to prevent them from bullying people together.

If your home is in Youzhou, it is best to leave your household registration to your own home, so as not to divide the land in the future.

In short, there was a lot of chatter, some of them didn't tell a lot, and they didn't care if they understood it or not, anyway, as long as they knew not to arrest them, they didn't kill them, they nodded again and again, and then took the household registration and ran back to their respective homes.

After waiting anxiously for two days, no one came to arrest them, so they were completely relieved, and then they spread the word outside, asking the brothers who were still hiding in the mountains to come out and register quickly.

Since Da Liang doesn't kill deserters, why are they still hiding in the mountains? Isn't it a living sin?
