Sun Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "What a clever little brother, these broken silvers will give you a drink." ”

Menzi saw that Sun Zhaoyuan was not annoyed with him, and if he didn't put away the silver, he would be embarrassed, so he smiled and put the silver in his personal coat pocket, and welcomed Sun Zhaoyuan to the upper hall of Wang Youming's mansion.

Sun Zhaoyuan entered Wang Youming's mansion, and saw that Wang Youming's house was not extravagant, and it was not even as good as one-tenth of Lin Zihao's courtyard. Thinking about it, Wang Youming doesn't care much about food and clothing.

Wang Youming came to the hall and said with a smile: "Zhaoyuan, are you going to go back to Yunxi Prefecture?" So come and say goodbye to Uncle Wang. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Exactly, these days, I have also tired Uncle Wang, saying that the matchmaker is a guarantee for my family, and I have to do this marriage ceremony well, and I will return to Yunxi Prefecture in a few days, and then manage the miscellaneous affairs of this state by the will of the Holy Lord." ”

Wang Youming said: "That's right, there are some things, just when you are here, I can also discuss with you." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "What's the matter? Uncle just commanded. ”

Wang Youming said: "This matter involves the supply of grain and grass in Yunxi Prefecture. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Yunxi Prefecture's grain and grass supply? ”

Wang Youming said: "Exactly." Yong'an Prefecture is the capital of the adjacent state of Qingqiu Prefecture, and it is the battlefield for the imperial court to defeat the rebellion of the Three Kings. Although the three kings are now shrinking, they are not in head-to-head confrontation, and they want to divide the state and rule with the imperial court. But the Holy Lord's intention is still for me to send troops and horses, take the initiative to attack, and recapture Qingqiu Prefecture. Although Yong'an Prefecture is rich in products and has enough grain and grass, if the soldiers and horses are mobilized, the grain and grass in Yong'an Prefecture will not be enough. I have written to the imperial court to ask for some grain and grass, but the household department said that the grain and grass in the whole country are very tight, and the whole country subsidizes a lot of grain and grass in Yong'an Prefecture every year, and can no longer provide subsidies. I think that only by getting grain and grass from Yunxi Prefecture can the Holy Lord's order be feasible, otherwise the army of my state will not dare to mobilize all of it. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I also said that it is a matter of matter, this matter, as long as my two state capitals write an official document, agree on how much grain and grass Yong'an Prefecture has borrowed from Yunxi Prefecture, and when it will be returned, I can ship grain and grass from Yunxi Prefecture. ”

Wang Youming said: "Okay, then I'll wait for your official document." These three kings' armies are many generals, and my state capital is not as good as them, but if the supply of grain and grass is sufficient, drag can also drag them down. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Uncle Wang, don't be careless, the three kings dare to make trouble, they must have a clear plan." If he had received foreign aid and had added food and grass, then the war would have been a long-lasting affair. ”

Wang Youming was woken up by Sun Zhaoyuan, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, yes." If the Gongsun family of Anbian State and the three kings negotiate with the three kings, as a backup, then the grain and grass can be landed in Anbian State from other countries by sea, and sent to Qingqiu Prefecture in a steady stream. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I guess this rebellion may not be able to be suppressed too smoothly, now today's big event, involving the whole body, all countries want to expand their territory, I hope that the three kings and the Nie Er clan will lose both, they are good fishermen, if they see that the three kings can't support it, they may not be able to lend a hand." ”

Wang Youming hurriedly grabbed Sun Zhaoyuan and said: "Good nephew, then I want you to help with more grain and grass to prepare for the war, if the war burns in Yong'an Prefecture, not only the people of the whole state, but also the officials of the whole state, and even your Sun family and Yu family will be involved in the war." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "I also hope that Uncle Wang can rest assured, Yunxi Prefecture's stock of grain and grass will definitely be transported to Yong'an Prefecture, and the three kings will only dare to shrink now, and will never dare to attack the Nie Er tribe against the guest, besides, if he dares to attack, I, the sergeant of Yunxi Prefecture, are not vegetarians, and I will definitely play the saint, transfer elite soldiers, and come to help Uncle Wang quell the rebellion." ”

Wang Youming breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "With the words of the virtuous nephew, the uncle's heart relaxed. ”

After everything was done, Sun Zhaoyuan was worried that it would take too long, and someone would secretly play it to the saint, but it was not too good after all, and he was afraid that the saint would blame him for not completing the errand, so he took Yu Yinqiao, said goodbye to the relatives and friends of the Sun family and the Yu family, and hurried back to Yunxi Prefecture.

When they arrived at Luyang Mansion, Yao Yungui, Ma Rushan, Jiang Chao, Jiang Sheng, Tan Jiaxing and other officials were already waiting at the city gate.

Yu Yinqiao asked: "These people are really well-informed, and even when we will return to this Luyang Mansion are also clear." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when we set off, it would have been clearly reported by their spies." ”

Several people came to greet Sun Zhaoyuan together, and Sun Zhaoyuan looked at a few people with a smile to see what they wanted to say.

Yao Yungui said: "Lord Sun is finally back, there is no Lord Sun in Yunxi Prefecture for a day, that is, there is no backbone." The saint also sent an urgent message to ask Lord Sun about the situation, but the lower official was anxious, and hurriedly stated to the saint, thinking that Mrs. Sun had misunderstood Lord Sun, so she ran back to her hometown. The lower officials also vouched for the saints, and they must eliminate the gap and let Lord Sun bring back Mrs. Sun, and now it seems that it is indeed Li Hua, a member of the lower official's family, who has made this miraculous feat, and when he can go home, he must reward Li Hua for his wisdom and praise his wisdom. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said in his heart: "Yao Yungui is really brazen, it was originally an incident that he designed by himself, and now he wants to invite credit, saying that he is reconciled with Yu Yinqiao, but it is his first merit, the saint does not know the joint, maybe he will be rewarded for him, it's really funny." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan arched his hand and said: "If it weren't for Lord Yao, I wouldn't have been able to release my suspicions this time, and I don't know how long this official will stay in Yong'an Prefecture, and this official will thank Lord Yao." ”

Yao Yungui hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Eliminate the misunderstanding for the main official, this is a matter within the responsibility of the lower officials, how can you ask Lord Sun for his gratitude." ”

Ma Rushan said: "This time to go to Longdu Mansion, there is a harvest, I want to come is also God's favor, this season's grain and grass is very rich, the sergeants are stationed in the counties, towns and villages, and do their best to count the grain and grass production, this Longdu Mansion produces a total of 80 million catties of grain and grass, according to the imperial court tax, should pay 8 million catties of grain and grass, more than the usual payment of 2 million catties, 6 million catties more, think of this matter is a great achievement, can be played to the court, the court will be rewarded. ”

After Ma Rushan finished speaking, Yao Yungui, Jiang Chao, and Jiang Sheng's faces sank for a moment, and they instantly withdrew their anger.

Sun Zhaoyuan was very happy in his heart after hearing this, and the errand entrusted to me by the Holy Lord was finally completed according to this stupid method. The rest is to wait for these big landowners to hold on, return the land to the hands of the people, and let the people of this province find a valuable way to live.

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This matter is indeed a great achievement that is beneficial to the society and the country, so it can be seen that there are some omissions in the taxation of Longdu Mansion in ordinary times, and this tax calculation method must be continued in the future." In order to prevent Luyang Mansion from being taken advantage of by gangsters in the future, when the official plays the Ming Sheng, another army will be sent to guard Longdu Mansion, so that the garrison of Yunxi Prefecture can also be strengthened. ”

Yao Yungui said: "Dare to ask Lord Sun, now that it is wartime, all the soldiers in the country who can move have been moved to Yong'an Prefecture, Jiangzhou and Dongzhou, how can there be other soldiers who can move?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "The great imperial court, buckle here, make up for it there, you can always find some surplus soldiers for our state to drive, Lord Yao don't worry, the saint will have arrangements." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan asked again: "By the way, how to deal with Yang Changming's matter now?" Think this person was sentenced to death? ”

Jiang Chao said: "This matter is not in the state capital, the matter is urgent, and a few of us will discuss it." This matter was played by the imperial court, and it was only appropriate to escort all the prisoners to the capital and have the criminal department personally try it, but he didn't want to, but he didn't want to, but the saint said that it was not safe to escort a thousand people, and the surplus troops in all the states and prefectures were transferred to the front line, in case something went wrong, how to do it. He issued a holy decree and let Yunxi Prefecture adjudicate it by itself. With the will of the saint, the lower officials opened a court to hear the case, and finally made it clear that Yang Changming and others did not want to rebel and harm the state capital, but this group of people wanted to return to Huangdao, but they spent too much money on food and clothing along the way, so they had to set fire to lead these people out to fight the fire, so as to steal some money and continue to hurry. According to the motive of this crime, the official compared the law and sentenced each person to the crime of arson and theft, and sentenced each person to five years in prison, and because of the large number of criminals, the Yunxi Prefecture Prison was not enough, so a separate temporary prison was built in Longdu Province to detain them, and the matter was properly handled. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "This case is so punished, and the official also feels that it is appropriate." It is really commendable that such a difficult case has been handled so appropriately by all of you. Are there any other important matters in the absence of this official? ”

Everyone said: "The rest of the matters are trivial. ”

He welcomed Sun Zhaoyuan back to the public office.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when Sun Zhaoyuan returned to the governor's compound, Ma Rushan quietly came to the courtyard to find Sun Zhaoyuan, Sun Zhaoyuan was about to sleep, but he could hear the report from others, Ma Rushan visited, it must be an important matter, and he didn't want to be known by Yao Yungui and others, so he immediately put on his clothes and came to the guest house, where Ma Rushan was already sitting.

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Master Ma, if there is anything important to say during the day today, but you want to come to me alone at night to report." ”

Ma Rushan said: "This matter is still not trivial, it is a place of great importance, and it is still necessary to wait for others to not know before they dare to report to Lord Sun." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Didn't you say Yang Changming during the day?" ”

Ma Rushan said: "Exactly, the sergeant of my Longdu Mansion reported that Yang Changming, who was locked up in Longdu Mansion, was a fake Yang Changming, and the real Yang Changming is now missing." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan was startled in his heart, and suddenly felt that a matter of heart had landed, and he didn't know how to release Yang Changming, and now Yang Changming had fled, which was exactly what he wanted, so he said: "There is still this kind of thing?" ”
