Chapter 359: Coming forward to stop it, the mystery of the acres
The summer breeze is very hot, blowing ripples on the calm surface of the lake, and it is difficult to bring a trace of coolness.
Li Xuan had a low easel in front of him, and he sat sideways on the grass.
In front of him is a pool of turquoise charming water lake, the whole person is leisurely in the shade of the tree, lightly sketching against the lake.
In a very short period of time, the rippling lake covering an extremely vast area has appeared in Li Xuan's pen.
At this time, a rapid sound of horses' hooves galloped from the west side of the avenue, and instantly shattered all tranquility.
Li Xuan, who had just finished drawing, immediately handed the thin pen to Cheng Yan on the side, and then turned his head to look at where the horse's hooves came from.
Summer rice wafts and exudes the unique aroma of rice.
One after another, sturdy men are rapidly harvesting this large piece of fertile land in front of them.
In a short period of time, hundreds of acres of land have been pushed forward flatly.
More than 1,000 big men, armed with sharp sickles, quickly harvested acres of rice.
The huge horse's hooves trampled heavily on the road, bringing up countless dust, and then in an instant, the stunned stopped.
Immediately, a Tsing Yi guard jumped off his horse, and then walked quickly to Li Xuan.
A bamboo seal was handed over.
Cheng Yan immediately stepped forward to take it, and then quickly opened the seal, took out the tissue paper inside and handed it to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan spread out the tissue paper in front of his eyes, carefully looked at every word on it, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a sneer.
"Sure enough, it's still moving, it seems that they finally understand the king's actions here!" Li Zhu nodded with satisfaction, then took the thin pen from Cheng Yan's hand, wrote a few sentences on the tissue paper, and then put it back into the bamboo tube.
"Tell Xiong Yan that everything is according to the plan, don't be anxious, everything is under control." Li Xuan didn't look back, and then spread out a piece of rice paper again and sketched on it again.
Only this time, what he sketched was a map of the fields of the entire Jinhua County.
If someone who knows how to do it is here, he can see at a glance that the painting that Li Xuan is painting now is definitely not simple.
With a few strokes, the entire area of Jinhua County has been outlined under his pen.
Roads, villages, lakes, and even fields were drawn, and then thin numbers were written on the corners.
No one knows what these numbers represent.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, this is the Xu family's land, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." An unreasonable voice came not far away.
Then he shouted: "What do you want to do, do you want to stop the imperial court's summer harvest, or do you want to rebel?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan put down the pen with some amusement and looked sideways to the east.
Suddenly, I saw Qi Guang, who was wearing a light blue robe, holding a spear, carrying a crossbow, and his face was solemn, and he looked at the family guards who stopped in front of them viciously, his face was savage, and he didn't know which family guard.
Li Xuan picked up the pen and rice paper and walked out towards the place where the quarrel took place.
There, a group of family guards wearing ochre-colored robes were blocking the Wuzhou soldiers led by Qi Guang.
Even if they represent the government, even if they are armed with sharp blades, the family guards on the opposite side still don't let them go at all.
"Take three steps back, raise your shield, set up your crossbow, cross your lance, and stab forward!" Li Xuan was calm, but an extremely cold voice came from behind.
The two parties arguing with each other couldn't help but stop immediately, and the other party's family guard was just about to open his mouth to scold.
At the whole time, they saw that the Wuzhou soldiers who were originally standing opposite them had all retreated like water.
Without hesitation, he raised his shield and crossbow, and the sharp crossbow arrows in the hands of those soldiers were all aimed at them in an instant.
Behind these bows and crossbows, a long lance had already come up directly, and the sharp blade had been aimed at the guards blocking the road, and a trace of blood flashed in his cold eyes.
The air became extremely solemn in an instant.
"Misunderstanding
Ah, it's all a misunderstanding!"
A terrible voice came from the rear abruptly, and then a middle-aged man of medium height, wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Court's Nine Rank Commander Ren Yong, rushed over briskly towards Li Xuan's location.
Seeing the cold color on Li Xuan's face, endless fear had already flashed on the other party's face.
Immediately, he crawled with a rolling belt, and he had already rushed in front of the blade and shield.
Looking through the gap between the blade and the shield, the visitor saw Li Xuan, and his face was full of nervousness: "The prince forgives the sin, just because a lot of the rice in the family is not yet ripe, so before going down, I ordered them not to let outsiders enter and trample at will, so I don't want to accidentally collide with the prince."
"Forgive sins, forgive what sins!" Li Xuan walked forward with a sneer, and his eyes fell on the person who came.
With a chuckle, Li Xuan's gaze swept over the ripe fragrant rice in the distance, and he couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Do you want this king to forgive them for their sins, or for your nonsense and disrespect?"
"The sin of disrespect, when did the subordinate have any sin of disrespect?" The other party's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.
"This king is now the king of Nanchang County, and he is ordered to let Wuzhou not drive and supervise the summer harvest, this king thinks you should know the official documents in the county, so lying to the officials and the prince is a crime of disrespect."
Li Xuan looked at the visitor lightly, and said coldly: "This is the land of Wuzhou, this king can sentence you for the crime of disrespect, and then directly sentence you to three hundred miles."
Speaking of this, Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "This king knows that the local family has a wide connection, and it may be enough to eliminate this crime of disrespect, and this king can let you come like this, provided that all you do can catch up with this king to send you to Muzhou...... Between Muzhou and Wuzhou, it is exactly 300 miles."
"Mushu!" The visitor's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were frightened.
At this moment, he already understood what Li Xuan was going to do.
Li Xuan: This is asking for his life.
The Muzhou Tianyin Sect incident was between the ten months, and he was sentenced to Muzhou during the whole time, which was equivalent to being sent to death directly.
Even if there are enough connections to eliminate the guilt, as long as Li Xuan sends people to Muzhou, it is useless for anyone to speak.
"Lord, spare your life! Spare your life!" The other party immediately knelt down in front of the shield, and then said with a handful of snot and tears: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan has no intention of obstructing the prince, but Xiaguan's field, I really don't need your help to harvest it, Xiaguan's family is enough."
"This king has never meant to forcibly enter your house to harvest, so you don't have to act like this."
Li Xuan waved his hand, and the guards around him immediately put away the crossbow and lance.
At this time, Li Xuan pointed to the Xu family's guards on the opposite side and shouted, "Go, get off their blades, and search carefully, if there are any contraband on their bodies, and if there are anything related to the Tianyin Sect."
Hearing Li Xuan's order, Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
With a county king, Benzhou don't drive head-on, even he has been preparing for a long time.
But I was still a little nervous.
Li Xuan looked at Xu Ge again and said softly, "If this king remembers correctly, you should be Xu Ge, the captain of Chengxun Renyong."
"Xiaguan Xu Ge meets the county king Qianqiu." Xu Ge bowed down to Li Xuan in a deep manner.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Jinhua County's official document, you should have also seen it, this king doesn't ask you anything else, you are also an official person, what is the situation in Wuzhou now, this king believes you also know."
"The lower official understands." Xu Ge's face twitched slightly, but although he knelt on the ground, he didn't have the slightest intention of admitting his mistake.
Li Xuan raised his head, looked at his family's countless acres, looked at the rice swaying in the wind among the countless fields, and said softly, "If you don't want this king's people to harvest for you, there is no problem, but the problem at the moment is that the Tianyin Sect will not give you this time.
If you insist on harvesting at home, then three days later, the officials of the county government will come to your house to collect the land endowments, is it feasible?
」
"It's feasible, please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely not delay the summer tax payment of the county government." Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he couldn't believe that the matter in front of him, which originally seemed extremely complicated to him, could be solved so easily.
"That's fine." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then looked behind him: "Secretary Zhou!"
"The lower official is here." Zhou Wei, the official of Jinhua Hucao, immediately stepped forward and responded: "What does the prince command?"
"Check out, how much land does his family need to pay?" Li Xuan commanded lightly.
"Whoa!" Zhou Wei took out the household he was carrying, and then arched his hand to Li Xuan and said, "King Qiyu, Captain Xu Ge of Renyong has 1,000 acres of land under his name, and he collects 67 grains, 667 buckets, and 8,333 catties according to the law." Chinese Net
"Yes, the priest's calculations are quite accurate." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Xu Ge, and said in a cold voice: "After three days, you need to prepare 8,333 catties of new grain, remember that it is new grain, if there is a mistake, this king will directly sentence you to Muzhou."
"The Commander obeys!" Xu Gechang breathed a sigh of relief, more than 8,000 catties of grain, but 30 acres of land, can be harvested in one day.
"Topping, drawing." Li Xuan's expression changed suddenly, and then he looked at Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei was slightly stunned, but quickly took out a drawing from the household tax account book and handed it to Xu Ge.
"What do you mean, sir?" Xu Ge didn't take Zhou Wei's pen at all, but in an instant, his face was furious, and he looked at Li Xuan coldly.
"It is recorded in the household register that there are 1,000 acres of land in your name, what, is there a mistake?" Li Xuan's right hand was raised slightly.
In an instant, the soldiers on the side raised their crossbows, shields, and swords and spears again.
The sharp light stung Xu Ge's eyes at once, and he subconsciously looked at the family guard beside him.
At this time, he suddenly found that all the weapons under the guards of his family had been confiscated just now.
"Lord Wang, you understand what it means to be a lower official, why do you have to be so faceless?" Xu Ge's face sank suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Li Xuan suddenly sneered and said, "This king has been in Jinhua for the past few days, and his responsibility is to urge the townships of Jinhua to speed up the summer harvest, but what about you, you are here to mess with the king of Banben, delay time, and disturb the summer tax. Come, arrest, raid!"
In the end, Li Xuan was already gritting his teeth.
Now he really thinks he is a good talker, and anyone dares to grin with him.
A nine-grade benevolent lieutenant also dares to blow up with him.
"Whoa!" Qi Guang on the side immediately threw himself towards Xu Ge with a cruel smile, and pressed him to the ground in a blink of an eye.
A military general of the Nine Rank Honors of the imperial court can't even beat Qi Guang, who was an ordinary person a few days ago.
"Lord Wang, the prince of the State of Xiaguan, Lord Wang, you can't do this?" Xu Ge struggled and shouted.
"Then let Li Jingye personally come and talk to this king."
A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, he reached out and patted his cheek, and said softly, "If anything related to the Tianyin Sect is found in your home, then the king should ask, is he, Li Jingye, also related to the Tianyin Sect?"
This royal road wants to ask, this is how the British Duke taught his clansmen, is his surname Li or Xu?"
Shu Guogong Xu Gai, the father of the British Duke Li Tao, the father of the British Duke Li Zhen, and the ancestor of the British Duke Li Jingye.
A clan in Caozhou, Shandong, is really bold enough to hoard land in Wuzhou, which is thousands of miles away.
Do you really think that the Xu family has a military god prime minister, so dare not take him, the king of the court, in his eyes, and dare not take the tax policy of the court in his eyes?
Li Jingye is looking for death.
