Chapter 234: Push Wave
As she spoke, Liu Meibao finished the soup and handed over the bowl, and Lu Yan naturally took it and gave her a bowl.
"I've already told the housekeeper, don't get any more girls in, the little daughter-in-law or something is fine, and there is not so much to do at home, so as not to delay people and disgust me again, forget it, these chores are not interesting, you don't have to worry about it." Liu Meibao waved her hand and said.
"You don't have to worry about it." Lu Yan nodded and said.
After eating, because he was afraid of accumulating food, Lu Yan took Liu Meibao for a walk in the yard.
The night sky in early autumn is very pleasant, the two walked slowly hand in hand, whispering a few words from time to time, Lu Yan did not forget to snub the child with a stomach, touched it for a while and pasted it and muttered a few words, which made Liu Meibao laugh.
"What if it's a son, what if it's a daughter?" She laughed.
Lu Yan's figure was stunned.
"I'm sure I'll have a son." He said.
Liu Meibao was stunned, she was a joke, but she didn't expect Lu Yan's reaction to be a little big.
"Mabel, it's not this time, and it will be next time." Lu Yan clenched her hand and said again, "We will definitely have a son." ”
Liu Meibao's heart was a little sour, those damn big-character posters poked at the hidden disease in this man's heart, and she clenched Lu Yan's hand with her backhand.
"If the prayer curse can be fulfilled, Jiro, we must have a son." She said earnestly, her voice soft but extremely firm, "There are far more people who live because of you, who love and respect you and appreciate you, than those who hate you for taking advantage of you. ”
Lu Yan reached out and hugged her.
The husband and wife quietly embraced each other for a moment.
"Mabel. I've been appointed. Lu Yan said suddenly.
Liu Meibao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up at him.
"Not a demotion." Lu Yan saw her face through the starlight, so he smiled and kissed her on the face, "It's the ethics of the old camp fort." ”
"Is it a flat tone?" Liu Meibao couldn't help asking.
This kind of thing is very common, and in modern society an official gets into trouble. In this case, the promotion will never be done, the most common is the flat tone, or the bright promotion and the dark fall, in short, it still shows that the boss is disappointed with your work. Rightly or wrongly, it's your fault for causing the wrath of the public.
"No, although the old camp fort is nominally a thousand households hall, because of its important geographical location, it is actually on an equal footing with the guard, and enjoys the treatment of a garrison." Lu Yan explained to her with a smile, "And listen to the people above." This old camp fort has been evacuated from thousands of households to set up garrisons, and it will come down before the New Year. ”
For Lu Yan, the garrison is an official position two levels higher, for him, a young man who has only been promoted to ethics, if he wants to become a garrison under common sense, at least he must be promoted to the commander of the guard first, looking at Shanxi, there is no vacancy in the command of the guard for a period of time, so waiting for it may be the end of his life.
Hearing this, Liu Meibao was also happy.
After all, promotion is a happy thing. Especially at this time, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
"You are heavy now, it is not suitable to run around, and everything over there needs to be re-regulated, and I will take you over when I clean it up." Lu Yan said, with a little apology. "It's just that I'm not going to be home to you for a while."
"How can a man's family be bound to a woman all the time?" Liu Meibao smiled, and stopped after speaking, "Can you come back when you give birth?" ”
"Of course." Lu Yan smiled and hugged her again.
Only then did Liu Meibao lean sideways in front of him and rubbed against his strong chest.
Meanwhile. In the mansion in the city, Fat Kang was still lying on the couch, but his face was full of smiles.
"It's just that this kid picked up the bargain." He snorted and said, "Since this old camp fort was transferred away, I heard that there is a meaning of setting up a garrison and defense, and all parties are fighting for the bloody blood, and it will not be settled for a long time. ”
The other men in the room smiled noncommittally.
"The front is the naked temptation, the rear is the turbulent indignation of the people, if he doesn't go, he is a big fool who is rare in a century, if he goes, it will be disgraceful, and in the future, this Hedong Mansion will have nothing to do with him....." One of them said lightly, his eyes sparkling with a hint of pride.
"I heard that Sixth Master Ji, the seventh young master of your family's defense in Luting Fort is going to take over the conduct of this Hedong, it's really gratifying." Another person smiled at Ji Liuye, who had been sitting silently on the side.
What if I went to a guerrilla general, the Ji family is about to turn over again, and sure enough, it is a big cause and a lot of connections.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the sixth master of this season, and they couldn't say whether they were jealous or envious.
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it." Ji Liuye shook his head and looked humble and low-key, "No matter who comes to either side, I'm just waiting for everyone to live a stable life." ”
Thousands of acres of barren land have been reclaimed, and thousands of military households are in hand, and if this day is unstable, I am sorry to God.
This advantage can't be taken advantage of by their Ji family alone, and everyone has contributed to getting rid of this King Lu Yan.
"....Sixth master, my family has a batch of goods that are in a hurry to get out of the customs, but I have no choice but to guard against Tartars and Li thieves recently, and I can't go because I am sleepy.." Someone said impatiently.
"Grain, huh?" Ji Liuye glanced at the man, with a hint of understanding, "This is not easy to do, your batch of goods is going to the southeast, and the imperial court has strictly prohibited it, if you want to go over, it will be a rebellion." ”
"What's wrong, we businessmen are just buying and selling."
The voices in the room faded into silence, and as the night wore on, only figures floating in the windows remained.
"These dogs think I'm stupid." Lu Yan sneered, and at this time, there was no joy on his face in front of Liu Meibao, but instead it was cold.
At this time, there were not many people sitting beside him, the generals were Jiang Dashan, Wang Jiu, Fu Laosan and other four people, and the scribes were only Wang Mo and the master.
"I thought that if I promised a good future, I would be able to snatch food from my mouth." Lu Yan sneered, "Do you really think that my Lu Yan's teeth are ornaments?" ”
"Damn, these rats, if I didn't have Hedong Fort to block the Tartar bandits, it would be their turn to eat and sleep soundly." Fu Laosan slapped the table angrily and shouted.
"My lord, the brothers are ready, just waiting for your words." Wang Jiu said.
His voice was low, with a hint of coldness and a hint of bloodthirsty excitement, and it couldn't help but make people palpitate in the dark night.
As soon as he said this, several people in the room remembered a past incident, except for Wang Mo, a newcomer, their faces changed.
Fu Laosan and the others had bright eyes, while the master shivered.
The master couldn't help but glance at Wang Mo, and the meaning of Wang Jiu's words could be heard by smart people.
Wang Mo's face did not change, and he even smiled lightly, as if everyone was sitting idly on an autumn night and chanting poems.
The weather is cool, and he is still shaking a feather fan in his hand, this habit has made the soldiers around Lu Yan give him a lot of nicknames, and he has always believed that there is a master in the front and Wang Mo is sour, and these scholars are very strange.
"My lord, the laws of the court cannot be violated." He said slowly.
The other people in the room looked at him, and Fu Laosan couldn't help but speak.
"So, I have an idea, but it's just up to the adults to see if they dare to do it." Wang Mo continued.
"The only thing in this world is whether you can do it, and you never dare to say it." Lu Yan looked at him and said with a slow laugh.
"Then it'll be easy." Wang Mo stood up with a fan high-five, and said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the master couldn't help but look at him in surprise, in this literati who was more than ten years younger than himself, he saw a kind of arrogance, which was even more penetrating than these martial artists in the house.
The world is very different, the master sighed in his heart, or rather, he is really old.
-----------------------------------…
A few days later, a piece of news spread throughout Hedong Prefecture, the Department of Ethics wanted to check the registers, recount the military households and tuntian, and all those that were not registered were considered ownerless wasteland, and they were uniformly included in the department of ethics for distribution, management, and trading, that is to say, those who concealed and embezzled the military households' tuntian either watched their land fly, or paid to buy it from the Department of Conduct.
The deadline is one month, and those who are sold without bidding will be uniformly distributed to military households according to the population, and the procedures are complete and formal, no matter who is the person in charge of Hedongyi, there is no doubt about it.
As soon as this news came out, the whole Hedong was in an uproar, and the new military households who were worried about whether they had been working in vain were running to tell each other, and the Ethics Department offered attractive conditions for a one-year tax exemption, while the big households were as angry as boiling water.
"This Lu Yan is about to be transferred, this is making money!"
"It is said to make up for the deficit of the autumn grain handed over to the imperial court, who knows if it is really fake!"
"This bastard, this is a robbery!"
"This is going to die!"
The fat man Kang, who was already able to stand up and walk a few steps in the mansion, gritted his teeth.
"From his departure to the next succession, there is still a gap of more than a month in between, I heard the clerk of the Ethics Department say, Lu Yan hinted that except for his own, everyone else is divided equally, anyway, all the official offices are in deficit when they are handed over, this is the usual practice." Another man whispered.
"This can't be done, if we really want him to do it, if we want to come back then, it will take a lot of effort." The others rubbed their hands together and said, their faces hateful and angry.
This reckless man really ate the gall of a leopard, how can he be so nonsense.
"I originally wanted him to leave alive, but he was embarrassed." Ji Liuye said with his hands down, "It seems that we must teach him a lesson, let him know what happens when he is reckless and ignorant!" ”
At the beginning of August of the first year of Tianshun, a wave of protests against Lu Yan's skillful establishment of a private and unreasonable levy swept through Hezhong Mansion.
Not only were leaflets being distributed, more and more shops were going on strike, prices in the city began to rise sharply, and the people of the city fell into an atmosphere of panic.
