Luo Luo Long, now called Pingyi City.

Zhu Ming was talking to Sun Shu alone: "Do you know why you were asked to lead the barbarians here, and didn't recommend you to be a Han official?" ”

Sun Shu replied: "The county wants to expand the land for the Han people. ”

Zhu Ming shook his head: "It's for Huaxia." ”

Sun Shu was puzzled: "How is the difference between the Han people and the Chinese?" ”

Zhu Ming said: "Before the Han Dynasty, was there no China? The pre-Qin Zhuxia was all China. Shang Shi ghost Fang, Zhou Shi Guo, this is to turn into summer. The ghost side can become a state, why can't the barbarians of Lizhou enter China? Most of the villages under your command are shengyi, with only more than 200 Han people. We must teach them to speak Chinese, teach them to farm, and customs and etiquette can be slowly changed. ”

"Yes!" Sun Shu gave up.

Speaking of the country, there is a thing that is outrageous.

Modern gene sequencing found that Emperor Zhao Song was a descendant of the Duke of the Kingdom of Japan, that is, the ancestor of the old Zhao family was a ghost person. Later, rescue archaeological excavations measured the genes of Zhao Bo Peng (the seventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin), who turned out to be the descendants of Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor......

There are two different results, and it is not known which is true.

Zhu Ming advised: "Duoduo communicates with Henan Man, they are familiar with each other, and they can be used as reinforcements for each other." ”

Sun Shu said yes.

Zhu Ming said: "I have asked Taishou to leave more cloth and food for you. When I get back to Lizhou City, I'll send some more hoes and sickles. ”

"Thank you, county." Sun Shu said gratefully.

Zhu Ming said: "If you have relatives in your hometown, you can also bring them here." ”

Sun Shu was overjoyed.

He could have taken chicken feathers as an arrow, pointed at the peasants in his hometown who were struggling to make a living, and said that those were his relatives, and he could get two or three hundred people at once.

After staying in Pingyi City for one night, Yu Wenchang and Zhu Ming continued north.

In addition to Tho Meng's family, there is also a delegation of barbarians, who will go to Tokyo to meet Song Huizong.

The seized Qiongbu Sichuan barbarian materials, such as rhino horn and ivory, were lent to the barbarians as tributary items, and they had to send them back as soon as possible.

Anyway, the barbarians will definitely not suffer, Song Huizong has a good face, and he will definitely double the reward when he is happy.

The stop-and-go army finally returned to Lizhou City.

Lin Yu secretly reported the victory, and made a full appearance on the surface, and personally led the officials to meet him several miles outside the city.

"The two of them are really capable ministers in the world, and they are admired by contemptible." Lin Ji bowed, and seemed to be really a corporal of courtesy.

Yuwen often smiled: "This is all the ability to succeed." ”

Zhu Ming said: "If there is no Lin living in the rear, if there is no Yuwen Taishou front-line dispatch, a certain person will have a lot of strength and can only send out three points." A certain did not dare to take credit, relying on the two officials. ”

Lin Ji laughed and took Yu Wenchang and Zhu Ming's hands, and walked towards the carriage in the middle of the road: "Let's go back to the city to feast and celebrate!" ”

The barbarian representatives were also called, and even the Tho Meng family came to drink.

These barbarians drank happily and kept patting Lin Yu and Yu Wenchang's sycophants.

Who said that barbarians have an upright personality and can't speak softly?

When toasting Zhu Ming, Zhu Man looked restrained again, and he knew that this magistrate was not easy to mess with.

Tho Meng's son Bi Li, known as the first warrior of the barbarians, was actually picked off his horse by Zhu Ming with less than he won more, and he was picked off the horse with one shot when he was hedging on horseback.

Lin is exquisite, and he treats the barbarians quite kindly, and even takes into account Tho Meng's feelings: "Why doesn't General Tho drink?" ”

Tho Meng said: "I have been defeated and surrendered, and I am no longer the great ghost master of the Hundred Barbarian Capital, nor the Huaihua general of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Lin said with a smile: "Before the official family issued an edict to take office, Your Excellency was still General Huaihua. Drink this cup. ”

Tho leaned his neck and drank it all, but he didn't give a good face.

His ambition is to unify all barbarians, no matter how bad it is, he will restore the glory of his ancestors, and he was named the king of loyalty by the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

It was originally good, but the territory of Qiongbu Chuanban was almost doubled in his hands.

was beaten for some reason, and he was defeated.

Lin Yu soothed: "The official family is merciful, after all, General Tho is a prince, and he will definitely be treated twice more favorably when he arrives in Tokyo." The prosperity of Tokyo, the general went to self-knowledge. ”

Tho Meng's son, Ah Fan, hurriedly raised his glass and said, "I still need to take care of Xianggong Lin." ”

"It should." Lin sipped his wine and smiled.

This product plans to take Zhuban on the road, and teach Zhuban how to talk to the emperor on the way, otherwise the matter of stealing merit may be exposed.

The crowd was drunk, and finally the feast ended.

Zhu Ming returned to the back house of the county government and immediately called Bai Sheng: "What has changed in the county office?" ”

Bai Sheng replied: "When the news of Xianggong's victory came back, the county officials became more and more respectful. Mr. Wei (Wei Yingshi) and Mr. Zeng (Zeng Xiaoduan) did not dare to disobey what they were told. However, I went to the countryside to investigate, and the officials were still taking the opportunity to fish the people. ”

"Have you ever written down your name?" Zhu Ming asked.

"It's all written down." Bai Sheng said.

When Zhu Ming led his troops out to fight, he naturally had to recruit people's husbands and apportioned miscellaneous donations. However, these are all articles of association, and it is impossible to expropriate them arbitrarily, and everything depends on the households.

The county officials took the opportunity to make money, and under the banner of Zhu Ming, they went to the countryside to expropriate and extort money.

Zhu Ming did not take Bai Sheng to fight, but only ordered him to investigate secretly.

Who's doing something, write it all down!

Zhu Ming got the list and read it carefully, and after basically sorting out his thoughts, he asked Bai Sheng to step back and go back to the house to see his wife.

"Xiang Gong is tired, go take a bath first, the bath soup has already been boiled." Zhang Jinping greeted him happily and helped Zhu Ming undress with the maid.

Zhu Ming was indeed physically and mentally exhausted, and he drank again tonight, and his home was comfortable, so he fell asleep directly in the bathtub.

Zhang Jinping waited for a while, but didn't see any movement inside, so he came in to check the situation.

found that Zhu Ming was sleeping, Zhang Jinping couldn't cry or laugh, distressed and funny. first touched the temperature of the water, asked the maid to quickly add some hot water, and then rolled up her sleeves to help Zhu Ming take a bath.

"Comfortable!"

Zhu Ming closed his eyes and called, and he woke up when the maid added water.

After taking a bath, Zhu Ming hugged his wife back to the room, lay on the bed and didn't want to do anything, and fell asleep after chatting about the war.

After waiting for a few days, the five barbarians sent representatives to come, and they also had to go to Beijing to pay tribute.

Although these guys are familiar, they are very cunning, and they have been unwilling to send troops before, but when they heard that the Han army was victorious, they hurriedly expressed their position.

not only sent envoys to Beijing, but also gave gifts to Yu Wenchang and Zhu Ming to make amends.

Lin Yu set off with all the barbarians, and this guy couldn't wait to return to Tokyo to see the emperor as soon as possible.

Seeing Lin Ji leave, Zhu Ming said: "Brother Quan Ke, have you ever seen such a traitorous party? ”

Yuwen Chang shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

Zhu Ming said: "I believe him as an official and honest, and I don't believe in anything else." Drinking a few days ago, this guy was too enthusiastic about the barbarians, and he must have something to ask the barbarians for help. ”

"It's just a rush for credit," Yuwen Chang's mind is very sober, "When he arrives in Tokyo, he will inevitably be in cahoots with the barbarians." The work of strategizing could no longer satisfy him. I am afraid that if Tho Meng is forced to surrender, it will also become his personal persuasion to surrender, so that he can better please the officials. ”

"Probably so." Zhu Ming said with a smile, it doesn't matter about it.

Yu Wenchang returned to the state office, rewrote a good document, and wrote a letter to relatives and friends in the capital to explain the situation.

Zhu Ming returned to the county office, called the county lieutenant Chang Qizong, and threw out the list given by Bai Sheng: "Follow the map, and arrest people." ”

"What is this?" Chang Qizong secretly said that it was not good in his heart.

"Under my guise, I did the things of the common people, and in the name of war, I was tyrannical," Zhu Ming stared at Chang Qizong, "Do you want me to arrest you and interrogate you?" ”

Chang Qizong hurriedly said: "The county is respectful, it has nothing to do with me at this time. ”

Zhu Ming said: "Arrest the person and hand it over to the state court." There is a scholar named Chen Huan, who has made great achievements in this battle, and I have discussed with Taishou that he will replace Li Chao as the county government secretary! ”

"Yes!" Chang Qizong's scalp tingled when he heard this.

He was born as a local official and controlled the county government for many years, and Li Chao was his confidant.

Now I have to arrest Li Chao with my own hands and make room for Chen Huan to be the director. If it weren't for the fact that he had an official body and it was too troublesome to move, I was afraid that Zhu Ming would arrest him together.

Chang Qizong bowed down and exited the county hall and found that his vest was full of cold sweat.

The magistrate, who has just won the battle, is definitely not easy to mess with.

Once Zhu Ming is angered, he will be charged with being a barbarian, that is, the county lieutenant may be cut with a knife, who made Chang Qizong not from a Jinshi background?

Yuwen often waited for half a month, so that Zhu Ming had time to sort out the county government.

It's almost done, set up a family banquet, and invite Zhu Ming and his family to dinner.

"Returning with a big victory, it would be a waste if you don't do anything," Yuwen often poured wine for Zhu Ming in person, "South of Hanyuan Town, north of the Dadu River, those familiar with the people should be organized." ”

Zhu Ming smiled: "I have this intention. ”

Yuwen often said: "There are also five tribes of barbarians, they are also familiar, the court has not canonized the ghost master, and the people should be organized!" ”

Zhu Ming said: "I'm afraid this is difficult, and I have to fight." ”

"It's okay to be pretentious." Yuwen often said.

"That's easy." Ju Ming raised his glass to taste the wine.

The five tribes belong to a special existence, their customs are close to those of the Han Chinese, and there is no canonized leader. They are similar to toasts, but the leaders are elected. The name is the common people of Lizhou, and they do not make up households to pay taxes. Without the qualification of tribute, doing business is like a mutual market.

The whole thing is not like one or four.

Zhu Ming and Yuwen Tong didn't want to fight, the core territory of Qiongbu Chuanban was the river valley area, as long as there was a military advantage, it was very convenient to deal with. However, the five tribes lived in the mountains, and when they went to conquer, the officers and soldiers had to be busy crossing the mountains and mountains.

The best thing to do is to make up the households.

No matter how many people they hide, the household belongs to identifying themselves and acknowledging that they are citizens of Lizhou!

Zhu Ming called Chen Huan over: "You have become the priest, and now I will give you an errand to make up a household in Hebei." There are no Han names and surnames, and they are given names. With the officials and village soldiers, carefully measure the land. ”

"I understand below." Chen Huan gave up.

Zhu Ming asked, "Do you really understand?" ”

Chen Huan said: "The county respects me and asks me to bring the township soldiers, which has a saying. ”

Zhu Ming nodded approvingly: "Understanding!" ”

Organizing households and people is only one aspect, in the process of implementing the policy, it is just right for Chen Huan to cultivate the team.

Which official was disobedient, so he directly arrested and replaced.

In particular, the former officials do not need to be literate and can be replaced by village soldiers at any time.

When Chen Huan has his own team, the county government will no longer be the monopoly of Chang Qizong's family.
