Shaohuashan is used to robbing houses and houses, and what he does is to solve it quickly. Overnight, prisoners from the four walls and the barracks outside the city were returned to the cottage. By the way, a batch of materials and grain were transported from the treasury and granary.

The inside and outside of Huazhou City were replaced by their own troops, and each of the four walls was equipped with a battalion. Lei Zhen of Flying Wolf Ridge, Ni Lin, Fei Zhen, and Xue Can personally sat down. Restore order, maintain law and order, surveillance or control of suspicious persons.

Ouyang Shoutong, Hao Siwen, Shang Ranwei, Chen Da and other leaders turned into pseudo-court officers. Led nearly 10,000 minions in the cottage to carry out training.

In fact, on the city wall, there are 3,000 minions deployed in the city, and there are also 3,000 in Shaohua Mountain. There are at most 4,000 people training outside, but in the past few days, the courts have been changed one after another, and more than 4,000 soldiers of the forbidden army have defected to the cottage, and they are scattered in various battalions. Just take advantage of the time to run in the training openly.

Xin Congzhong led a group of veterans and taught the minions to operate a stone thrower and a bed crossbow. Shang Ranwei, Ouyang Shoutong, Tang Bin, and Hao Siwen led their respective cavalry teams to gallop, and Chen Da, Yang Chun and others led the infantry to familiarize themselves with the new equipment, perform their own duties, and conduct training before dawn.

Outside the city, the dust was flying, shouting to kill the heavens.

The people near the southern city wall were awakened from their dreams, and although they had disappeared for a few days, hearing them again brought with them a sense of being wrong. I turned over and got up, and found that something was wrong, it was not dawn outside.

I just thought that General Zhao of the Imperial City was coming, and I sighed that he was once a son of heaven and a courtier. No one thought it was wrong, and no one thought that Huazhou City had quietly changed.

Uncle Li in the west of the city sells steamed buns and pancakes and other breakfasts, and because of his honesty, the amount is large and affordable, and the business is very good

。 I usually wake up very early. Today is no exception, it is not dawn, and I push the cart out early.

At the intersection, I saw several notices posted on the signboard. The uncle didn't know how to read, but there were two soldiers in iron armor guarding the sign.

"Master Jun, you haven't eaten! Come, how about a taste of this pancake? Uncle Li was enthusiastic and pushed the cart over, wrapped two sheets of thin-skinned and stuffed leeks in oiled paper and fried them, steaming hot and fragrant.

"Oh, uncle, thank you so much."

I was busy all night last night, and the food delivery didn't come. The two Shaohuashan minions are really hungry. One hurriedly took it, and the other found a few copper plates.

"Master Jun, two cakes don't cost money." Uncle Li waved his hand hurriedly.

One of the minions simply shoved the money into his hand: "Hey, you old man still told us this." My brother has an order not to take things from the people. ”

"Brother?" Doubts flashed in Uncle Li's eyes.

"It's General Zhao, Marshal Zhao." Another minion hurriedly picked up the conversation.

"I wonder what is written on the notice?" Uncle Li pointed to the sign and asked curiously.

"Uncle, this is our mission. I'll tell you. A minion ate the cake and shouted delicious, pointed to the notice on the far left and said: "This is not a few days from the Caoyun Yamen, Liu Taishou plans to dispose of the moldy grain in the warehouse and gather the passing caravan to take a look."

In the middle, they borrowed carts of oxen and horses from the wealthy families and officials in the city to load grain. The transshipment envoy will come in a few days, and there is no time to procrastinate. The wording is tough, and whoever dares not to obey will be directly forcibly requisitioned by the government. ”

"Uncle, in fact, these two things have nothing to do with the people." Another minion interrupted,

Pointing to the sign on the far right: "That's the highlight of the day." It is to hire young people in the city to carry food in the form of compensation. ”

"In the form of a fee?" Uncle Li didn't understand a little.

"Oh? It is to give money and food. The minion hurriedly added: "As long as you come to help carry the grain, load and unload the escort, not only will you have enough to eat, but you will also be exempted from taxes at home if you have land, and if there is no land outside the city, you will be given money and grain." ”

"In ten days, there are five stones of grain. If you come with a vehicle to help, you will give more, in short, brother..., the people will not suffer. The other minions finished the pancake and shook it with their fingers crossed.

"Ten days, five stone grain?" Uncle Li's face showed joy. The family of the people who live in the west of the city is not very good, Uncle Li has a sick wife in his family, and several children and grandchildren are uneducated, but they have the strength to do it. usually works for the rich to help the long-term workers, and the whole family can barely make a living.

The smile on the uncle's face retracted, and he was a little uncertain: "It's just that there will be such a good thing?" ”

The two minions pointed to the notice and patted their chests: "Liu Fat... Liu Taishou will not, if he is not General Zhao, he will definitely not deceive people. Isn't this a notice posted? The whole city reported that as long as they came to help, there would be money and food. ”

"Yes, yes, old man, I'll go back." Uncle Li finally put his mind at ease. When you are ready to return, inform your family, but the cart is in the way, so you stay.

"Master Jun, help watch the car." The old man shouted back as he ran. The old man had a hunch that Huazhou City had changed, and the old Li family had to seize the opportunity.

"Okay, slow down." The two minions waved to the old man and reminded him loudly.

The shouts here gradually attracted many people who came out early.

Gathered one after another, saw the notice, the responsibility of the two minions, read it out for those who didn't know the words, and by the way, helped sell a pancake city, steamed buns, and copper coins into the bowl to make a crisp and pleasant collision sound.

A similar scene occurred in the vegetable market, at various intersections, as if overnight, as long as there were many people, government notices were posted.

The first to learn the news rushed to tell each other, called friends, and gathered to discuss. In the end, groups of 35 and 781 went to the registration location to register according to the notice. I got my badge and went home with a bag of rice.

The government called for help, and there was a lot of money.

As soon as the news spread, it quickly spread and caused a sensation throughout the city. It was a happy event for those who had no land outside the city, and groups of young people came to sign up, and the elderly drove ox carts and donkey carts to make up the numbers.

The caravans in Huazhou City were called by the government, although they felt that Liu Fatzi's head was cramping, but they each drove the convoy or notified the merchant ships, and gathered one after another. In any case, we will take over the task of reducing business taxes in the future.

This is good news, and it is good news for the people and the shops.

But just forcibly requisitioned, to the rich families in the city, the family is full of malice. It doesn't matter if the government calls for money and food to be donated once or twice, as soon as there is something, it will find the rich, and when there is something, it will find the rich, and whoever it is, it will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, the Liu family, the Wu family and other local forces in the city refused to cooperate. Ignoring the call of the government, he did not give it himself, and stopped others. They want to look at the government and see what Liu Fatzi can do to them?

It turns out how ridiculous people with this idea are.

Liu Fatzi waved his pen, and the government government used picking quarrels and provoking troubles as an excuse

, sent officials to forcibly recruit, clashed with the opposing guards, and almost killed people.

Hundreds of Shaohua Mountain minions, armed to the teeth, arrived murderously, stood on the side of the government, and suppressed the Liu family, the Wu family and other leading birds. not only forcibly requisitioned cattle and horses, but also took away the pigs and sheep in the backyard. Let these rich people taste the taste of the common people and enjoy themselves with the people.

"Bandits, they are simply bandits, bandits are not as good!"

The head of the house, who was targeted by strong measures, was angry and scolded when he was gone. Unable to swallow this breath, they made up their minds to join forces to sue.

"Phew, I'll clean you up after I'm done with this stubble!"

Wang Jin didn't think about letting these guys go easily, but he didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being. On the one hand, they hired vehicles in the city and organized people to go to the countryside to collect grain. On the one hand, a big red banner was put up in Huazhou City to welcome the transfer envoy.
