Chapter 10 Women and Heroes 10

Luan Hu was very fast, and not long after he went back, he brought back a lot of people, and a group of people moved things out.

The bandits on the other side were tied together, and most of them had come to their senses, and they shouted and scolded wildly when they saw this scene, but unfortunately no one paid attention to them.

The bandits have been caught, Zhao Yanhuan left someone to guard, and returned directly to Qipai Village, calculating the time, and the people who served the conscription should come back.

Sure enough, Zhao Yanhuan returned to Qipai Village and saw his mother Li Qing waiting at the wall.

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Yanhuan: "The people who served in the conscription have fled back, and they are in the No. 7 village." ”

Zhao Yanhuan nodded and said, "It's good that the people are back, and the next thing is to deal with the county order, this is simple." ”

Although Zhao Yanhuan has a lot of land in his hands, there are too many displaced people who come to defect, and the land on Zhao Yanhuan's face alone is not enough to arrange.

Therefore, Zhao Yanhuan found a few valleys in the mountains that could be cultivated, and established seven cottages from No. 1 to No. 7 to arrange for displaced people.

As for the matter of escaping from forced labor, there is also a reason, originally Qipai Village has always spent money to ransom forced labor.

But this year, the emperor was in a hurry to cultivate the palace, and three waves of conscription were levied in one year.

The first two times he let people ransom for conscription, but the third time he didn't allow anyone to spend money to ransom conscription, and the emperor was rich and couldn't look down on this money.

Moreover, in order to ensure the timely arrival of those who were forced into servitude, several severe criminal laws were added to punish the people who did not accept the forced labor, which was basically a capital crime.

Even the officials in charge of conscription will be punished for not being able to do so, and this punishment is very severe.

The imperial court sent out conscription, took care of their own travel expenses, and took care of their own food, just rushing was enough for many people to go bankrupt.

When they arrived at the place to serve in the conscription, ten people went to five people back, and the dead piled up mountains and reclaimed the sea.

But to the emperor, these dead men were even inferior to ants.

Sometimes Zhao Yanhuan has to admire, the people's endurance is really too strong, so they don't rebel, it really spoils the emperor.

The evasion came back, Zhao Yanhuan didn't take a break, and urgently went to No. 7 Village to appease these people.

Although before leaving, Zhao Yanhuan had already made all kinds of preparations, brought food and clothes, and told them how to escape from servitude.

The petty officials who escorted the conscripts were all Zhao Yanhuan's people, and their families arranged it early and fled back with the conscripts.

Everything was in order, but the mental tension along the way was inevitable, and she went, which helped these people stabilize their minds.

Go up from the mountain at the foot of Qipai Village, over two mountains, there is an open valley, and here is the No. 7 Village.

It snowed heavily in winter, and it was not easy to climb over these two mountains, so Zhao Yanhuan only took Luan Hu alone.

There are thousands of people living in the No. 7 village, and in order to ensure food rations, the mountains on both sides have been reclaimed into terraced fields by Zhao Yanhuan.

When Zhao Yanhuan and Luan Hu arrived at the place, they saw people who had returned from escaping from forced labor waiting at the entrance of the valley to roast together.

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan, these people cheered and came over with bee chrysalis.

"It's the village chief, the village chief has come to see us!"

"The village chief is really here, village chief, we're back!"

"Village Chief, Village Chief!"

The big guy happily surrounded Zhao Yanhuan and squeezed Luan Hu aside directly.

A group of people were talking nonsense, but there were too many people talking, Zhao Yanhuan didn't hear anything clearly, and he was dizzy from the noise.

Zhao Yanhuan hurriedly stretched out her hand and pressed it, and the villagers were accustomed to her gesture and immediately stopped talking.

It was easy to calm down, and Zhao Yanhuan asked: "On this cold day, why do you gather here." ”

One of the villagers immediately said, "Yan Dianshi asked us to come, and he said that if you knew that we were coming back, you would definitely come to see us immediately." ”

Another villager touched his head innocently, and said: "Actually, we are panicked, we want to see the village chief, but we are always not quiet, and Yan Dianshi told us to come here and wait for you." ”

Yan Dianshi's real name is Yan Hua, he is the history of the county government, and he is still a talent who has been remembered by Zhao Yanhuan for several years.

Yan Hua has been a county magistrate for seven years, and the previous county magistrate was a waste, so he handled the entire county government.

At that time, Niumo County was very stable, and the people had a better life.

However, later the county order Zhishi, Gai Xiong, who was born in a family, came, and Yan Hua, who once oversaw the power of the county government, became a thorn in Gai Xiong's side and was marginalized.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to do the work of escorting the people in forced labor.

When Gai Xiong marginalized Yan Hua, Zhao Yanhuan kept showing favor to Yan Hua and throwing an olive branch, and Yan Hua also became Zhao Yanhuan's person a year ago.

This time I was forced to serve, and it was because of Yan Hua that Zhao Yanhuan dared to let everyone escape back so boldly.

Yan Hua also lived up to his expectations and completed the task very well, he first used his connections to become the person responsible for managing the villagers in Qipai Village to serve.

After that, he fled with the villagers, avoided all the officers and soldiers, returned to Qipai Village safely, and hid in No. 7 Village, and everything went very smoothly.

Although these people who had fled back, they were very nervous, mainly because they were worried that the government would find trouble after they returned.

You must know that if you escape from forced labor, not only will you be punished, but your whole family will be punished as a crime, which is equivalent to years of forced labor.

At this moment, they urgently needed to see Zhao Yanhuan, the village chief.

Zhao Yanhuan also knew what they were worried about, and directly reassured: "You can rest assured that you stay here, I have already thought of countermeasures for the affairs of the government." ”

"Don't worry too much, if you don't worry, just tell you when things are taken care of and your family comes to see you."

With just a few simple words, these apprehensive people were appeased.

Zhao Yanhuan is their backbone, they are used to it, as long as Zhao Yanhuan is here, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

When Zhao Yanhuan told them that everything was fine, then they believed it and felt at ease.

After pacifying these people, Zhao Yanhuan went to see Yan Hua.

Yan Hua did not wait at the entrance of the valley, but in the house, he was a person who looked a little weak.

Yan Hua's stature is not high, his face and temperament are very peaceful, and when he looks at it, it gives people the feeling of reliability.

In fact, Yan Hua is indeed very reliable, seeing Zhao Yanhuan, Yan Hua got up and said with a smile: "Yan Hua has seen the lord, and this time he is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Yan Hua is a smart person, and he is the only one who discovered Zhao Yanhuan's intentions.

So he hesitated for a long time before, but after deciding to follow Zhao Yanhuan, he immediately corrected his mentality, gave Zhao Yanhuan a lot of ideas, and also helped Zhao Yanhuan deal with a lot of things that others couldn't handle.

Zhao Yanhuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Yan Hua, who was about to salute, and said, "Mr. Yan has worked hard this time, is there anything in your body that you can't bear?" ”

Yan Hua laughed: "Thanks to the lord's love, but the subordinates are fine, and the lady has already seen the subordinates before." ”
