Chapter 469: Tied up
The Tang people are divided into four people, agriculture, industry and commerce.
Change of nationality is the status, farmers can apply for the change of status to become merchants, workers, and scholars on their own, and only those who have studied well, such as the Zhongke Examination, are eligible to apply for change of nationality.
Merchants and workers have the lowest status, and the social status of peasants is lower than that of scholars, and they can get a share of the land, and they have a very high status in the Tang Dynasty, which is based on agriculture, and they can participate in the imperial examination, but merchants and workers cannot participate in the imperial examination, which is very precious, and normally no one wants to change their nationality.
He'er was born as a slave, not as good as even the lowliest businessman, and he understands the preciousness of identity the most, and estimates that the peasants will not be willing, with a sad face.
Li Xueyan has a noble stomach and doesn't quite understand the reason, but she can see that He'er is worried, and after some inquiry, she fell into deep thought, most of the people who work in Qinjiazhuang are farmers, and it is too difficult for farmers to give up their agricultural status and change to a work registration, and even more so for their business registration.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xueyan suddenly asked: "He'er, according to what you just said, farmers are unwilling to give up their identity, and the biggest problem is that future generations are studying, right?" ”
"Sort of, they work hard and make money desperately, just want to send their descendants to study, take a career as an official, become a scholar, change their nationality, they only want to change their hearts, who wants to change more and more?" Haul explained.
Li Xueyan nodded, but smiled, like the brilliant sunshine all over the ground, warm, peaceful, bright, and said slowly: "What if they let their children and grandchildren enter the academy for free?" It's a big deal to expand the academy and expand it. ”
"Let their children go to school for free?" He'er's eyes lit up, and she smiled, and said happily: "This method can be tried, not everyone can read and become a talent, on the list, most of them still can't read, this Taoist ideal must they understand, if they study for free, and promise to arrange a job regardless of their grades after reading, they can not only save a lot of tuition, but also find a job, they will definitely agree." ”
"Arrange work? Why didn't I think that this method is good, anyway, we also need to recruit workers, not to mention those who have read books, it is easier to use, both sides benefit, kill two birds with one stone, I think it's okay, or He'er has a way, let's just decide? Li Xueyan agreed.
"Try it, you can't sit still." Ha'er agreed.
The two of them decided on the contingency plan.
After the meal, He'er put the child to sleep, handed it over to Li Xueyan to help take care of it, and found Jia Youcai and Xue Rengui to explain the two ways, after all, it was the daughter, and the man had to go to negotiate the matter, but the caravan was too important, although Qin Huaidao repeatedly emphasized not to go out of the village, be careful and safe, but Li Xueyan was pregnant and it was inconvenient to go out, and He'er, as one of the hostesses, had to run in person to show respect.
Not long after, a carriage left Qinjiazhuang and headed straight for Chang'an City.
Considering safety issues, Xue Rengui arranged three teams to accompany him to protect him.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at Chang'an City, a group of five hundred cavalry suddenly came out of the woods next to them, all of them were as cold as wolves, holding scimitars, and they didn't look like Tang people, and the faces of the three teams changed greatly, and one of them shouted: "Quickly form a formation, block them, and the carriage will return quickly." ”
"The time has come to serve the young master, fight to the death!"
"Like the Turks, monkeys, go back and report the news, you must send the news back, you can't all kill them."
The other two teams shouted.
The driver quickly turned around and whipped the horses as hard as he could, and one of the team members turned around and ran.
The others drew their swords one after another, staring at the onrushing cavalry.
"Bastard, it's really a Turkic cavalry, how can there be Turks here? Fight! ”
"Fight!"
"Protect the Mistress!"
In the face of the five hundred Turkic cavalry, everyone knew that there were no deaths, but they roared and clenched their swords, no one flinched, cowardly, and quickly dispersed to block the road, with cold eyes and murderous spirit.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
One of the Turkic generals roared excitedly, and pointed his scimitar forward: "Kill them all, not one will be left!" ”
"Kill—"
The five hundred cavalry roared in unison, and they were angry, beating their horses and rushing up, not caring at all about the swords that the guards cut up, and they played with their lives when they came up.
Not to be outdone, the guards tried their best to block it, but in the end there were only thirty people, and under the charge of five hundred Turkic cavalry, a third fell in a blink of an eye.
A large number of cavalry rushed over and went straight to the carriage, and the rest of the guards were shocked, but they were entangled by other Turkic cavalry, unable to free up their hands to support, and their lungs were about to explode, and they were slashing with their lives.
The sword is fierce, and the blood is splashed!
One by one, the Turkic cavalry pulled off their horses and slashed them, and the guards were covered in blood, but they also fell down one after another, unable to get up again, glaring angrily, and not looking at death.
One, two, three......
In the end, the thirty members of the Zhuang team only ran away to report the news, and all the others were killed in battle, none of them were spared, but they also took away more than 200 Turkic cavalry to accompany the burial, but unfortunately they failed to stop it in the end, and the Turkic cavalry surrounded the carriage, and the first general shouted indifferently: "Come out, don't force Lao Tzu to do it." ”
Ha'er has experienced too
After the kidnapping, Zi was a lot bolder, opened the door curtain and came out, his face was calm, his eyes were like frost, he looked at the person in charge and said, "Turks? You are in trouble for your people. ”
"That's a lot of nonsense, hurry down." The other party said impatiently.
One of them rushed forward, grabbed He'er, lifted it whole, and pressed it violently on the horse's back.
"Withdraw!" The leader shouted.
The rest of the cavalry hurried away on horseback, splashing countless dusts and quickly vanishing.
When Xue Rengui rushed to hear the news, he only saw the Turkic corpses all over the ground, the dead team members, and the empty carriage, and he was immediately furious, and shouted to one person with a blue face: "You go back and tell Madame, activate the intelligence network for me to check, and then send someone over to bring all this place back to the village, and inform the housekeeper to return to the village to preside over the overall situation, and the others will follow me, even if it is the end of the world, I will save people back." ”
"Obey!" The crowd agreed.
……
Li Xueyan was waiting for the news at the gate of the hospital, so anxious that the person who reported the news hurried back and repeated Xue Rengui's words, and Li Xueyan hurriedly arranged for someone to go back to Chang'an to find Jia Youcai.
Shen Mei, the person in charge of the intelligence network, also lived in the courtyard during this time, and was ordered to quickly send out carrier pigeons, and left in a hurry on horseback to track down.
Li Xueyan was anxious, hurriedly came to the academy, and found his father Li Daozong, who was resting, Li Daozong's face changed greatly when he learned the situation, and he asked the doubts in his heart: "How can there be five hundred Turkic cavalry here?" ”
"Father, what do you mean?" Li Xueyan came to her senses and showed an incredible look.
"There must be a demon when something goes wrong, this matter is by no means simple, I will go back to Chang'an immediately, you go back to command, Qin Huaidao is not there, He'er is tied up, everyone is watching you, you must not be chaotic at this time, understand? I'll be back soon. Li Daozong solemnly reminded.
"Understood." Li Xueyan calmed down and felt that things were not simple.
Leaving Qinjiazhuang, Li Daozong galloped on horseback, in the end, he was a general killed on horseback, he didn't lose his ability, when he came to the scene, he quickly dismounted when he looked at the Turkic corpses all over the ground, carefully checked, distinguished, and confirmed that his identity was correct, and his doubts were even more prevalent, and he left in a hurry.
Running all the way, soon into the city.
Non-messenger can not gallop in the city, Li Daozong was anxious, but did not dare to disobey, led the horse and hurried, met Qianniuwei hurriedly asked a few words, soon Nan Yasi found Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin heard that He'er was tied up, the murderer was a Turkic cavalry, and there were as many as five hundred, startled.
Five hundred is not a small number, if it is hidden and taken advantage of the Holy Heaven to go out of the city is a sneak attack, wouldn't it be a disaster? This is a serious dereliction of duty, and he hurriedly said: "You go to Beiya to inform Wei Chigong, I will immediately arrange someone to pursue, notify Fang Xuanling and Li Jing, and then go to face the saint." ”
"Okay, I won't save He'er, when Qin Huaidao comes back, something big will happen." Li Daozong reminded.
"Understood!" Cheng Biting Jin nodded knowingly, when the prince kidnapped him, Qin Huaidao forced Li Erci to kill Li Chengqian, and now someone has kidnapped He'er, maybe this day will change.
The two acted separately, and Cheng Yanjin arranged for his youngest son Cheng Chubi to personally lead people to pursue, while asking his henchmen to inform other old fellows separately, and he hurried towards the imperial city.
When he arrived at the Ganlu Palace, Li Er was busy, put down the notebook in his hand, and asked with some surprise: "Cheng Heizi, you are not on duty, what are you doing here?" ”
"Shengshang, something is wrong, five hundred Turkic cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city, kidnapped Qin Huaidao's concubine He'er, the minister should die, he didn't find this Turkic cavalry in advance, and he was willing to be punished." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said.
"What, five hundred Turkic cavalry appeared to become, what are you Nan Yasi doing? Do I not know when I go out of the city and be attacked by someone? Li Er was furious.
"Damn it!" Cheng Yanjin decisively admitted his mistake.
"You deserve to be damned, you didn't know anything about such a big event in advance, what do you want?" Li Er scolded angrily.
Cheng Yanjin's face stiffened, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, shouldn't the top priority be to catch the murderer and rescue the kidnapped? Even if you are held accountable, you have to wait for the matter to be over, what is going on?
At this time, Li Er shouted angrily: "Five hundred Turkic cavalry soldiers are coming to Chang'an and don't know it, this is a major dereliction of duty, let me trust, hand over the seal letter and military talismans, and go home to reflect on it to see the aftermath." ”
"This ...... Minister...... Obey! Cheng Yanjin felt that a huge conspiracy was looming, but he didn't insist, took out the seal letter and the talisman, and held it in both hands.
Wang De came up to take the seal letter and the talisman.
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Li Er deeply, and suddenly found that he was so strange, so estranged, bowed back a few steps, turned around, and his back was lonely and gloomy.
Li Er took the seal letter and the talisman, his angry expression swept away, and there was a smile that had succeeded in his calculations, and his eyes wandered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
