Chapter 896: Redress of Grievances (Fourth Update)
Tianluo Fort is very close to Ningxia, as a border town, the fort is a necessary fortress, Ye Chunqiu inquired about the situation here when he came, this fort is close to Ningxia, it is the faΓ§ade of Ningxia's border defense, and it is quite passable to repair, but after the inventory of Tuntian, there are still signs of disrepair. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Almost any fort is the seat of a thousand households, don't look at it is just a small city, the architectural pattern inside, but although the sparrow is small, the high wall within a radius of one mile, but there are thousands of households, the defense office, the middle camp, as well as a barracks for the soldiers and an arsenal, the thousand households here heard that the Qin sent to come, but also surprised, busy is anxious to come out.
Since the New Deal, the so-called Zhongguan almost has full power, to a certain extent, the Zhongguan set up by Liu Jin's New Deal is actually the prototype of the later tame, governor, and supervisor, and because of this, although many people are dissatisfied with the imperial court, they only hold a grudge.
This Tianwolf Castle's thousand households are surnamed Zuo, with a single name and a martial character, Zuo Wu heard that Ye Chunqiu's father and son were coming, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly went to the fort to greet him.
There are two gates in the fort, and Zuo Wu took a few hundred households to see Ye Chunqiu, so he bowed down respectfully and said: "Your majesty, Zuo Wu has seen my lord." β
Ye Chunqiu dismounted, looked at the tall city tower, and a few arrow towers, and said slowly: "This is the Heavenly Wolf Castle, how many people are stationed......
Zuo Wu led everyone to stand up, although he still didn't know why Ye Chunqiu asked like this, he still said: "There are nine hundred and seventy-three households at the full amount. β
Ye Chunqiu heard the flaw in his voice, and then said: "You are talking about the full amount, so what is the real amount?" β
Zuo Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Eh...... My lord, there are only three hundred and twenty-six households, and ...... Most of them are not in the city. β
Ye Chunqiu also had some understanding of the things in the guard, so he said, "Yes, where did the people go?" β
Zuo Wu said hesitantly: "Du Tuntian has gone, and now there are only more than thirty households in the fort. β
Ye Chunqiu didn't pursue this matter, but said, "What if the feudal people attack?" β
Zuo Wu smiled bitterly: "This is a helpless thing, my lord, now...... Didn't you re-measure the military field? He glanced at Ye Chunqiu cautiously before he said, "There is a grievance in the lowly, please call the shots." β
I didn't expect to come to shout injustice when I encountered such a cheating head here: "What grievances do you have?" β
Probably it was the contradiction between himself and Zhou Dongdu that gave Zuo Wu the courage, and Zuo Wu said: "My lord, the military land of Tianluo Castle is only more than 9,000 acres, this is Ningxia, most of them are inferior fields, adults know, 9,000 acres of inferior fields, originally up and down the household, it was all hard to maintain, all rely on some money and grain allocated by the top, but now, it ...... The lieutenant measured the acres of land, but said that we have 27,000 acres of land in Tianwolf Castle, my lord, this extra nearly 20,000 acres, and it did not fall from the sky, brothers are bitter, the court now thinks that the Zhongguan has made a contribution to cleaning up the official field, and the whole is praising him, thinking that he has increased taxes for the imperial court and saved expenses, and now the allocated money and grain are not only gone, but we are asked to pay the money and grain, saying that we are too rich, and we want to make up for the lack of emptiness in the treasury. Now it is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, relying only on these 9,000 acres of land, which is not enough to pay the money and grain to the imperial court, this is to force people to death, the lieutenant also said that if the lowly does not pay the grain on time, it is greedy for ink, and the whole family will suffer, and the lowly will ...... Humble...... I really can't live. β
How could Ye Chunqiu not know these things? So Ye Chunqiu and Ye Jing glanced at each other, Ye Chunqiu looked at Ye Jing's jaw, Ye Jing understood, and stepped forward and said: "I am the imperial history of the patrol, what grievances do you have, but if you ask, I will avenge you." β
Zuo Wu nodded, and first entered the Heavenly Wolf Castle with the new army of Zhenguo, with no hair on his mouth and no firm work, then Zuo Wu obviously also felt that Xiao Ye Zhongguan was not very reliable, and this Da Ye's imperial history, it sounded like his official position was lower, but he had such a long beard, and his temples were still a little spotted, but he had some appearance, so he welcomed Ye Jing to Qianhu.
Ye Jing began to inquire about the case, but at this time, Zuo Wu was stumbling and refused to speak, just now he was still crying out for injustice, but now he was still hesitating, Ye Chunqiu followed to accompany him, seemed to understand his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Father, it should be promoted." β
Ye Jing suddenly realized, so he had no choice but to say, "Come, ascend to the hall." β
Under the order, everyone in the Zhenguo New Army shouted together, and dozens of guards of the Zhenguo New Army were lined up, Ye Chunqiu reminded him well, the military attaches in these places are actually the best at observing words and feelings, whoever has a big shelf, whose official is big, if you are casual, he will be suspicious, not to mention that this time it is the middle official who is suing, and he already has a burden in his heart.
Ye Jing was not polite, with a straight face, after being promoted, he began to inquire about the case, and ordered someone to record Zhou Dongdu's bad deeds.
Ye Chunqiu took the time to go out, this Heavenly Wolf Fort already had a garrison, but now that the fort was empty, it was naturally very unkind, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest.
Ye Chunqiu called Wang Shouren to discuss, and gave a few instructions, Wang Shouren understood, so he led people to start inspecting the defense in this small fort, where was there a lack of the city in various places, which place had collapsed, and even took people to explore the terrain nearby on horseback.
It didn't take long for the guerrilla general Qiu Yue to arrive, Qiu Yue heard that Xinqin had arrived at the Heavenly Wolf Castle, and hurried to see Ye Chunqiu, and saluted very respectfully: "Why did your lord move here?" β
Ye Chunqiu snorted and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's better to be careful." β
As soon as he heard that it was better to be careful, a trace of coldness quickly flashed in Qiu Yue's eyes, but he still remained silent, and said, "Oh? Be careful, adults are ......."
Ye Chunqiu said with a faint smile: "Of course you have to be careful, then Zhou Dongdu will report it, this official is here to investigate his bad deeds, but just take a peek at the leopard, he is already shocked, like a person like him, who knows if there will be a fish to die and the net will be broken?" What if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry? Although there are a lot of guards brought by this official, after all, the one surnamed Zhou has been entrenched here for many years, hating guerrillas, do you say yes? β
Qiu Yue's face was a little more relaxed, and he smiled with a rare smile: "What the adults said is true." β
Ye Chunqiu suddenly squinted his eyes, looked at Qiu Yue and said, "Qiu Guerrilla, you also have some friendship with that surnamed Zhou?" Could it be that he asked you to test the official? (To be continued.) )
