"My lord, a letter from Sanyo-gun!"

"Bring it!"

Xiao Qi took the letter handed over by the guard, opened the letter and quickly browsed it, and then angrily surged up to the table and slapped it!

Seeing this scene, the staff sighed in their hearts, since the imperial court came to Jizhou, the adults were furious once in three days, and they were extremely angry, "My lord, is the imperial court soldiers and horses coming with news again?" ”

Because only the imperial court soldiers and horses in Jizhou can affect his anger, so the staff has this question.

Xiao Qi was also very helpless, he couldn't figure out why there were so many state capitals in the world, why the queen and the prince were staring at his Jizhou, like a dog skin plaster, and he couldn't tear it off when he put it on.

"The county guard of Shanyang County sent a letter, saying that Shanyang County has been controlled by the queen, and knows the catty of the official warehouse, let the prince check down, we have too many flaws in this matter, it won't take long for the prince to know that we have transported the grain, and then they will definitely write to ask us where the grain is, Mr. will think of a few more reasons these days, and then it will be easy to deal with them."

When the staff heard about this, they had a headache, you said that the imperial court came to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, you will quell the rebellion, to level the land, he doesn't have to doubt it, the queen led the troops to Jizhou to quell the rebellion is an excuse, and the ultimate goal is to pacify them.

"Fortunately, the queen and the crown prince are members of the royal family, if they are civilians or thieves, the old man thinks that they must be the most fierce group of people in the world, and the adults have only been in Jizhou for a long time, and they have shaken the officialdom of Jizhou!"

"The queen and the crown prince dare to be so unstoppable, obviously the rear is too stable." Xiao Qi gritted his teeth with hatred, he looked at his staff and said, "Sir, I think I'm too kind to them, shouldn't I find something for them to do?" ”

The staff's heart jumped, "What do you mean—"

Xiao Qi turned his head to look out the window at the branches that already had a little green, "Sir, sometimes it's not a good thing that the border is too peaceful, otherwise some people are too energetic and have nothing to do!" ”

The staff hesitated a little, thought for a while and said: "How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, my lord, if we contact that side too often, so that the court is aware of the clues, it will be a disaster!" ”

The staff doesn't want to work hard all their lives, and now they are full of children and grandchildren, and the family has meager wealth, and in the end, the family will be ruined, and the nine clans will be wiped out!

Xiao Qi frowned: "I don't want to risk my life, but in this situation, if we don't fight back and let it develop, in the near future, we are afraid that we will not have a good life!" ”

Having enjoyed the moment of peak power, now let him return to the days at the mercy of others, Xiao Qi can't accept this result from his heart.

caused the current situation, all blame Emperor Mingxi, the short-lived ghost, who dared to scare him before his death, and picked a fake gentleman to inherit the throne.

When this old gentleman inherited the throne, even the queen and the crown prince were extraordinary, which made him so passive now.

If you want to say that you are wrong, you shouldn't let Emperor Mingxi pick this heir!

The staff still felt that this plan was a next step, and they should not use it until they had to.

"My lord, even if you send some dead soldiers to burn the grain and grass of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, it is better than this strategy."

"Burning grain and grass?"

Xiao Qi glanced at him, pondering the feasibility of this plan.

It's just that there are some things that are not something that your will can control, just when the staff thought that Xiao Qi was persuaded and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the will of the imperial court arrived.

"Holy Decree?!"

Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Yuncheng in shock.

Xiao Yuncheng urged: "Father, the angel who delivered the decree has already entered the city, and he will soon arrive at the Assassin's Mansion, you hurry up and prepare and go to the gate of the mansion to meet the holy decree." ”

Xiao Qi and the staff glanced at each other, neither of them could guess the intention of the imperial court's holy decree today.

The staff felt that they could not delay any longer, and said, "My lord, you go back to the inner room and change into official robes, and the old man will go to the gate of the mansion to greet the angel group first." ”

Xiao Qi turned into the inner room and changed into official robes, hurried to the gate of the mansion, and saw that the masters in the mansion had all arrived.

He walked to the front, looked at the street, and asked Xiao Baoyin, who was standing next to him, "Boss, haven't you arrived yet?" But there's news, where has it been? ”

Xiao Baoyin pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and said excitedly: "Father, here!" ”

The angels entered the city and sounded the gongs to open the way, and he had already heard the sound of the gongs.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the people standing at the gate of the house to hear the gong.

Soon, the carriage and horses of the Angel Regiment stopped at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion.

A white-faced bearded man got down from a green cloth carriage, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he looked at Xiao Qi at the front with a smile, "I've seen Lord Thorn Shi!" ”

Xiao Qi hurriedly returned the salute, "Angel is polite, you have come from afar, and you have been tired all the way, please go into the mansion with the lower officials to rest." ”

"Lord Thorn, please!"

"Angel please!"

After entering the mansion, the eunuch drank the tea, and the subordinates of the Assassin's Mansion prepared the table for receiving the order.

The eunuch stood up, "My lord, let's get down to business first!" ”

"What the angel said is right, please." Xiao Qi led the master and servants of the whole mansion to kneel.

The content of the holy decree is full of beautiful words, and the last point is to focus on, "Xiao Qi, the assassin of Jizhou, is the general stationed in the north to suppress the rebellion, and the general of the counterinsurgency south of Jizhou, and cooperates with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to quell the rebellion of the traitors!" ”

It is the same, the imperial court learned from Emperor Mingxi when he was in power, and wanted to use the holy decree to make him obey, which was very wrong.

When Emperor Mingxi was in power, he dared to resist the decree and disrespect, and now he can

Xiao Qi thought of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court stationed in Shanyang County at this moment, and he felt a toothache.

"Lord Thorn Shi, take the order!"

Just when Xiao Qidong was thinking about it, the eunuch had already finished reading the holy decree.

Xiao Yuncheng gently tugged on Xiao Qi's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Father, take the order." ”

Xiao Qi pursed his lips, and finally reluctantly accepted Minghuang's holy decree.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the Lord's Order!"

At this time, he was in a complicated mood, and he couldn't understand that he initially regarded the holy decree as nothing, how could it be that after only a year, he had become a thorn in the history who had to bow his head to accept the decree?

Pick it up.

To say that all these changes are because the queen and the crown prince are stationed in Jizhou, which makes him fearful.

He never admits that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he can bend and stretch, for the sake of the family, after fierce struggle, he still chose to compromise!

After receiving the order, the Thorn Shifu enthusiastically picked up the wind and washed the dust for the angel group, and when the angel group was sent away, Xiao Qigang's smiling face instantly darkened.

He never admits that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he can bend and stretch, for the sake of the family, after fierce struggle, he still chose to compromise!

After receiving the order, the Thorn Shifu enthusiastically picked up the wind and washed the dust for the angel group, and when the angel group was sent away, Xiao Qigang's smiling face instantly darkened.

He pointed to the imperial gift on the desk and said, "Go!" Send me all these things to the storeroom! ”

The staff stood up and whispered, "My lord, there is something wrong with this, how can the imperial gift be offered for three days." ”

"What to offer!" Xiao Qi turned his head and glared at the staff who came over: "The new emperor's holy decree is to weaken my Xiao family's soldiers and horses, and to weaken the strength of the rebels. ”

Let him go to quell the rebellion, while his queen and crown prince are not only hanging out in my back garden, but also making trouble!

He was crazy to help the court quell the rebellion, and when the rebellion was over, he would let the court soldiers and horses come and directly slap him?

"But the holy decree has been issued, and there is no way to change it, otherwise it will be punished for treason, and the consequences will not be something you and I can settle at that time!" Staff reminded him.

Don't do anything on the spur of the moment!

This is also where Xiao Qi is annoyed, being roasted on the fire, so that you have to carry out the royal order, otherwise it is a 'death' word.

"Why am I living more and more aggrieved!"

The more Xiao Qi thought about it, the more unwilling he became, he always felt that he had to do something, otherwise he wouldn't be able to swallow this breath.

The staff has been following him for more than 20 years, and he still knows a little bit about the character of the lord, and he can know his unwillingness in his heart by looking at his expression, as well as his next actions.

Then he opened his mouth to persuade: "My lord, learn literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, this is the dream of all the men in the world, you have realized it, you have already led the world in ninety percent of the nine men, you see that Lord Yuan of Jingzhou, occupies the granary of the world, and directly became the lackey of the emperor's old man, and even his son followed the prince to pick up credit." ”

If you take the initiative a little, he believes that the emperor will also release goodwill.

The imagination of the staff is very beautiful, but some people have been dominated by desire, how can he know the advice of the back bank?

One road to the dark, without hitting the south wall and not looking back, is probably the current situation of Jizhou's assassin history.

The first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, April 13.

Spring ploughing began in the northern land.

Xia Jing led the troops and horses to sweep all the way, passing through Qing County and reaching Liaocheng.

In Liaocheng, she received two letters from Gyeonggi.

Strictly speaking, the original letter was sent by Bingzhou for 800 miles, and the border pass was disturbed twice by Beidi soldiers and horses, but fortunately, it was intercepted by the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou arranged by Xia Jing in advance, and did not cause serious damage to the border fortress of Bingzhou.

"It seems that these barbarians are very honest, and they have wiped out their two tribes and not made them honest!"

Saying that, Xia Jing looked at Long Yutian: "It's time for us to speed up the retraction." ”

Long Yutian looked at her with a serious face: "Niangniang, what do you want to do?" ”

"Supervising the army, it's time for us to advance at the same time, speed up the land reform in Jizhou, and accelerate the replacement of military and political power in Jizhou." Xia Jing paused and said: "Spring ploughing is imminent, and various yamen notices will be issued to encourage the people to open up the wasteland, but if the amount of land reclamation reaches a certain amount, the government will be exempted from taxes for three years, plus one year of hard labor!" ”

"Exempt from one year of hard labor?" Long Yutian felt that this move was a bit inappropriate, "As soon as this decree comes out, I believe that many people will actively open up the wasteland, but this is the case, if everyone is exempted from one-year labor, then the people will not have to take advantage of the loopholes in the policy, and what if no one comes to serve the labor at that time?" ”

Xia Jing listened to his worries and couldn't laugh or cry: "The prison army is too worried." If this situation really occurs, it can only mean that the people have opened enough wasteland, and in a few years, I believe that the fields in Jizhou will expand a lot. In three years, the tax will also increase considerably. ”

"If the prison guards are worried that there is no one to do the labor, we can hire a migrant worker to do the work, and we can solve the problem of no one to do the labor by paying him every day."

Long Yutian: "Where does the salary come from?" ”

Xia Jing stroked her forehead, "Prison Army, you are really smart and confused for a while, of course, the wages for the laborers are paid by the local squires!" ”

When Long Yutian heard this, he was slightly stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Will they pay this money?" ”

Xia Jing leaned back in her chair and said, "Let them go directly, of course they are reluctant to get this money." But they must have done some unsightly things in the local area, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you can always find out some illegal things, especially the annexation of good people and hidden households, the easiest to make a fuss. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the Dayu Dynasty was not fully controlled now, Xia Jing would want to play the local tyrants and divide the fields, so that all ordinary people can have fields to cultivate and plant.

Not to mention solving the problem of food and clothing, at least it is a great good not to starve people to death in the past two years!

"Niangniang, you dare to think!" Long Yutian gave her a thumbs up, "This kind of touching the interests of local powerful families, this kind of decree is generally difficult to implement, but now we have soldiers and horses outside the city, and I said two more."

If there is no soldier staring at the sidelines, I am afraid that the strong dragon will not be able to suppress the ground snake! ”

Xia Jing was vigorously carrying out the land reform in Liaocheng, and at the same time preparing for spring ploughing.

Ding Daqiang, who is far away in the Gyeonggi area, is also arranging spring ploughing.

"Steward Ding, these hundreds of acres of fields are all used to raise sweet potato seedlings? Even all of our fields combined can't grow so many seedlings! ”

Steward Ding watched as the farmers buried the rapidly sprouting sweet potatoes in a dug pit and covered them with layers of fine soil.

He listened to the tenants' words and explained with a smile: "Last year, we had a trial plant in Gyeonggi for a year, and we got so many seeds to breed all of them, which shows that the queen and the prince want to promote sweet potatoes in the Gyeonggi region." ”

Let the people have something to eat, at least they are so hungry that they are out of shape, walking outside like a ghost, and let the ghost see it, you have to retreat!

"Is it a free promotion?" The questioner thought that if she asked for money to buy it, she quickly left.

Ding Daqiang nodded: "It's free!" Moreover, the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince encouraged everyone to use the newly opened wasteland to grow sweet potatoes and not occupy everyone's fertile land. ”

"If there is not enough wasteland at home, can I reclaim it?" Another concerned about the wasteland asked.

When Ding Daqiang heard this, he smiled: "The queen mother in Jizhou encourages everyone to work hard to open up the wasteland, and the newly opened wasteland is exempt from tax for three years, and if the amount of wasteland reaches a certain amount, you can be exempted from one year of hard labor!" ”

It can be said that such a decree is very considerate of the poor people at the bottom.

The news spread in the Gyeonggi area and boiled over directly.

Families whose fields are not enough to grow should allocate part of their energy to prepare for the opening of the wasteland, striving to open up a sufficient amount of wasteland before the sweet potatoes are planted, and then exempt the family from labor for one year.

"Steward Ding, is this news true? Why didn't I see the notice from the yamen? ”

Ding Daqiang raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet: "The news is the latest received, and when the official document is really received, the yamen will post a notice to tell everyone." But I guess that this news is not far from ten, everyone should be ready to open up the wasteland first, or directly open the land first, and then apply for the title deed after receiving the notice. ”

When everyone heard that eight or nine was not far from ten, they talked about it.

"What came out of Steward Ding's mouth should be true, I'll discuss it with my family when I go back tonight, and see where to choose a piece of wasteland to open up wasteland?"

"Me too, I have to go back and talk to my family. I can grow some sweet potatoes for free, and I can harvest more grain this autumn, and the 20 or so people in my family rely on the food grown in the field, and they can't eat enough and can't starve! ”
