May.

It's warm and cold.

The climate is getting hotter.

It's just that the air is still a little chilly in the early morning.

It has been more than half a month since Ji Heng told Fusu his idea.

In this half a month, Xianyang City has been very quiet, the people in the city have been out of the city to farm for longer and longer, and the official offices have become more and more busy, among which the busiest is the Tingwei Mansion, with the approach of the limited June, the officials of the Tingwei Mansion are basically shuttling around the major markets in the city during this time, asking about the situation related to the "Commercial Law".

Compared with the hustle and bustle in the city, Ji Heng seems very quiet.

In his small courtyard, a few 'Qin peppers' have been planted, which is a kind of native peppers, which are slightly different from the peppers of later generations, if they are put in later generations, they will only be used as ornamental plants, but Ji Heng is very valuable to these Qin peppers, and he used Qin peppers to fry vegetables for a while.

The taste is acceptable.

This made Ji Heng gradually moved.

Although the taste of Qin pepper itself is not very good, the taste of the stir-fried vegetables is similar to that of later generations.

This is what Ji Heng is very satisfied with.

Therefore, as soon as it was the season to plant peppers, Ji Heng asked the attendants at the door to find some Qin pepper seedlings for himself and plant them in his yard.

Ji Heng hummed a little song while pouring water on Qin Jiao.

Just as Ji Heng was enjoying the quiet rural life, a sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Soon.

The door of his house was pushed open.

Hu Hai strode in, his face full of excitement.

He said: "Ji Heng, the DPRK and China have decided, just three days later, my eldest brother and I will set off for the South China Sea and Northern Xinjiang one after another, reward the army, and distribute the money and grain accumulated in the past half a year to hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the frontier." ”

"I can finally go out on my own."

Hu Hai was excited.

Last time, the First Emperor did nod in agreement.

But in the end, the matter fell to the discussion of the DPRK and China, after all, so much money and grain were involved, and it was immediately opposed by a group of officials in the Shaofu government.

The Datian Order, which is in charge of agriculture, the Taicang Order, the Taicang Order, the Da Nei Order, the Shao Nei Order, the Bang Sikong, the mercenary who is in charge of the project, and the mercenary who is in charge of servitude, all of them oppose it in unison, and they all agree that these money and grain should be used on the soldiers, and under the leadership of Du He, Fusu can be said to have been subjected to unprecedented targeting.

Hu Hai was also present at the time.

In the face of the menacing momentum of hundreds of officials, he didn't dare to say a word.

At that time, the court meeting lasted for three days.

The major economic bureaus all want to keep the money in Xianyang and use it for their own official offices.

The two sides have always been at loggerheads.

Fusu was also forced to be red-eyed in the court, and reprimanded the major government offices in the court, and constantly criticized the major government offices on the grounds of 'the state's policy is like cooking a small fresh, and it is necessary to have a long-term delay'.

Ultimately.

The first emperor handed over the disposal of these money and grains to Fusu on the grounds that there was a lot of money and grain for Fusu.

That's when the matter was completely settled.

It's just that after this toss, it took a long time, and when everything was really arranged, more than half a month had passed.

Ji Heng nodded.

He didn't have many emotional ups and downs.

He doesn't care about the situation in the court, instead of caring about the situation in the court, it is better to care about the vegetable seedlings in the courtyard, at least this is what he can really eat.

Seeing that Ji Heng was so bland, Hu Hai also hurriedly told the situation in the court.

Hear the words.

Ji Heng suddenly stopped and raised his head and said: "This kind of dispute is actually doomed, almost millions of gold money and grain, no matter where it is placed, it is enough to make people blush, the Shaofu is in charge of the world's economy, but it has no right to dispose of these money and grain, and it will be opposed in various ways." ”

"Why is this necessary?"

Hu Hai choked for a while.

He rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Ji Heng, you are so boring, it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to experience it personally. ”

Hu Hai looked quite excited.

Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai lightly, as if he had guessed something, and continued to pour water.

Looked at.

Hu Hai shook his head and said, "If you don't listen, in addition to telling you about this matter this time, I also want to ask you, are the three tips you gave me earlier really useful?" I've heard that the environment in Lingnan is very harsh, and if your tips don't work, I'll be in danger. ”

Hu Hai's eyes were fixed on Ji Heng.

He looked nervous.

During this time, he asked Zhao Gao to collect the situation in Lingnan, and when he saw the bad situation in Lingnan, he had already retreated, just thinking that Ji Heng had given three tips, which made him grit his teeth and stiffen up, but his heart was still full of uneasiness, so he wanted to come to Ji Heng to confirm.

"Just do what you have to do."

"The rest of the time, you can enjoy the mountains and rivers as you did in the past."

"So it should be fine."

Listening to Ji Heng's words, Hu Hai was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say much about it, just hesitated: "I will bring Zhao Gao with me to Lingnan this time." ”

"Zhao Gao." Ji Heng raised his head, glanced at Hu Hai a few times, and sighed lightly: "This is your private matter, you don't need to ask me, I don't have much interest in these things, I do have some dislike for Zhao Gao, but I don't like it, but I don't like it, but I can't talk about disgust, everyone's choice is different, some people value love, and some people value profit." ”

"What's the difference between likes and dislikes?"

"It's up to you."

Hu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Ji Hengsheng would be dissatisfied because of this.

In fact, he was reluctant to go to Lingnan before, and he didn't know what to do, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to bring Zhao Gao with him, first, Zhao Gao was his foreign teacher, and it was reasonable to take Zhao Gao with him, and secondly, Zhao Gao was good at driving, with Zhao Gao on the side, he would be a lot safer, and third, Zhao Gao was on the side to give advice, if he was really in danger, there were also people to help him.

It was with these in mind that he decided to take Zhao Gao with him.

"You're fine, you can leave." Ji Heng waved his hand, signaling that Hu Hai could go, and just as Hu Hai was about to walk out of the door, Ji Heng seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "If you have a chance, you can bring some fruits and vegetables from Lingnan back." ”

"There are too few fruits and vegetables in Guanzhong."

Hear the words.

The corners of Hu Hai's mouth twitched.

He thinks about Ji Heng in everything, and Ji Heng thinks about fruits and vegetables

However, he also agreed: "Okay, I'll let Zhao Gao bring some when I arrive." ”

After speaking.

Hu Hai left with a puff of smoke.

Come like the wind, go like the wind.

Ji Heng has been watering in the courtyard, and when the vegetable garden in the courtyard is watered, he straightened up, looked at the courtyard that had long been gone, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Hu Hai seemed to be very proud during this time.

In the past half a year, Fusu has offended many courtiers, if it is placed in ordinary times, Du He and others may not dare to express their dissatisfaction at all, but this time the first emperor agreed to Hu Hai's request, so in the eyes of hundreds of officials, it is undoubtedly a signal.

Hu Hai also has a chance!

The officials who were dissatisfied with Fusu's actions before immediately fell to Hu Hai.

That's why Hu Hai is so proud.

Even with a bit of ostentation.

Ji Heng chuckled and said: "Hu Hai, Hu Hai, I don't know whether to say that you are smart or stupid, you could have not been involved, but as a result, you not only got involved, but also fell deeper and deeper, but as the so-called blessing and misfortune, misfortune and blessing, your horizontal intervention has also promoted the current variables of the imperial court." ”

"Huh."

"In the end, it depends on your luck."

"If you are really lucky, you may not be able to surpass Fusu, just like history, to achieve Qin II, but with your current character, I am afraid that it will not be easy to win."

"But who knows?"

Ji Heng retracted his gaze, briefly cleaned his arm, and sat down with Shi Shiran.

Spring in northern Xinjiang is also very different from Xianyang.

Guanzhong is warm and moist, it is the lush and green of the gentle wind and drizzle, it is the land of fish and rice with thousands of rivers, and the heroic and magnificent northern Xinjiang is the grassland with cold weather and no end in sight.

Mid-day.

The weather is getting hotter.

Rustling.

Rustling!

On this grassland more than half a man high, a group of cavalry appeared in the lush weeds.

These cavalrymen seem to have been trekking for a long time, their burly bodies are a little emaciated, their spirits are even more sluggish, their cheeks are flushed with sun, and their bodies are covered with armor, but they are already covered with dust, covering their original color.

Syllable!

A whip was drawn to the horse, and the horse was in pain, and the speed under his feet was a little faster.

At this time, Xianyang no longer had the calmness of Xianyang, his armor was loosely draped, his forehead was full of sweat, and his hair was messy.

A few days ago, he was ordered to investigate the movements of the Xiongnu near Yunzhong County, and after a few days of investigation, he has roughly figured out the direction of these Xiongnu, and is now preparing to return to Yunzhong County to resume his life.

It's just that compared with the high spirits when he first set off, after the devastation of the past few days, the whole person is depressed.

Walked for a while.

The Yiwu finally decided to rest for a while.

"Wu Zhang, drink saliva." A soldier on the side handed a kettle to Yu Ke.

Yi Ke licked his chapped lips, grabbed it and just wanted to pour it into his mouth, but in the end he just lightly dipped it and moistened his lips, Northern Xinjiang is not as good as Guanzhong, and he wants to find a water source in this ghost place, but he doesn't know how much time it takes, so he doesn't dare to waste any water.

Especially now that I'm still on the road.

Even more so.

"Brothers, save some water to drink." Yi Keyi reluctantly threw the kettle back, looked up at the clear blue sky, and couldn't help but scold: "What kind of bird weather is here, cold death in the morning, but heat death at noon." ”

"It's not very far from the clouds, though."

"Hold on and persevere."

Several of the soldiers drank their mouths, and several of them led their horses and sat on the ground.

"Captain Wu, you know that you regret it now, right?" A short young man handed over the kettle, with a playful face: "I really don't know what you think, Chief Wu, how many people can't go back if they want to, you obviously stay in Xianyang well, why can't you think about it, come to the frontier?" ”

"Now this kind of bird day, I am afraid that I can't see the head mile at a glance."

Mike just smiled.

He actually inquired about the situation in northern Xinjiang.

With the cessation of the war, the 300,000 soldiers in the northern Xinjiang were also stationed in several counties in the northern Xinjiang, and a garrison was several years, three years ago, the first emperor issued a decree, allowing them to drag their families and families to the frontier, and gave them very high preferential treatment.

But there were few responders in the military.

They joined the army for meritorious service to the enemy.

I don't want to put down roots in northern Xinjiang.

It's just that four or five years have passed, and the imperial court doesn't seem to want to put them back, and even the number of places to go back every year is very scarce, which also leads to the fact that every time there is a relationship in the army, there are connections in the army, and there are no connections to try to stuff money, just to win that small number of places to return to their hometowns.

When they heard that Yu Ke had taken the initiative to come to the frontier, several people were full of incredulity.

"Captain Wu, how did you think about coming to the border?" Someone finally couldn't hold it back and asked the confusion in their hearts, and the others also looked at it curiously.

But he hesitated.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I followed a man's advice. ”

A word fell.

The four people nearby were silent in unison.

Long.

The short young man hurriedly said, "Captain Wu, have you offended him?" What is the situation in the frontier, it has been a year or two, who still doesn't know? At this time, I suggest you come over, this person is simply bad. ”

"Captain Wu, you've been deceived!"

"This kind of absurd words, can you believe it, Captain Wu?"

Mike frowned.

He didn't open his mouth to retort, just silence in response.

If he said that he was actually serving as an attendant in Xianyang, he was afraid that these people would be even more violent.

"Captain Wu, how shrewd you usually look, why are you stupid in this matter? It's not what it used to be now, the world is peaceful, and there is no war, not to mention enlisting in the army and gaining military merits, after coming in, whether you can go back is a question. ”

"I've been serving for four years."

"A few years ago, I followed the general to crusade against the Huns, but what was the result? The battle was won, but the people were still here, and even the two or five hundred commanders and captains in the army strongly suggested that you move your family here. ”

"Do they really think I'm stupid?"

"If you move here, will you have a chance to go back?"

"It's just that when is this day a head, this day is too bitter."

said.

Yuan's mood also went down.

After a few years here, they have actually understood.

The court probably didn't want to let them go back.

Especially after His Majesty ordered the construction of the Great Wall, many soldiers became field soldiers and directly took root in several counties on the frontier, how could he not understand the situation?

He would rather be the most tired flint pawn than a field pawn.

He wants to go home!

He believed he could go home.

It will definitely be able to !!

The rest of the people also had dark eyes.

In recent years, they have eaten and slept in the open air, always listening to the order to gallop around to prevent the invasion of small groups of the Huns, the Great Wall is still under construction, but the Huns are not dead at all, most of the Huns have indeed fled hundreds of miles away, but there are still small forces of the Huns near the northern Xinjiang, and they are disturbed by the south from time to time.

It's annoying.

They have also been fighting the Huns.

It's just that this kind of life is not what they want, and if they have the opportunity, they want to go back.

Yu Ke felt the atmosphere around him, and said firmly: "I believe what this person said, the army is my opportunity, you don't have to be so sad, the court will not forget you, and you will definitely be able to go home." ”

Hearing Yu Ke's words, Yuan couldn't help but mock: "Captain Wu, you haven't been here for a long time, and you don't know anything about the situation on the frontier, and when you stay here for a while, you will know how ridiculous your thoughts are now." ”

"The world has changed!"

"The world doesn't need so many soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy."

"What Your Majesty needs is a field pawn who farms in Yunzhong County, Shang County, and Yanmen County."

Yi Ke shook his head and said, "Since you said that the world has changed, why can't the situation in Northern Xinjiang change?" It is true that the imperial court needs more border soldiers, but it may not be impossible to put us back in the future. ”

"I believe what the gentleman said."

Hear the words.

Several people looked at each other, their eyes full of sneers.

They only feel that they are deceiving themselves, if the imperial court wants to put them back, they will have released them a long time ago, as for the introduction of various policies to let them move over with their families?

Be quiet a little.

Yuan seemed to think of something, and said worriedly: "When I went on a mission this time, I seemed to have heard about one thing, that is, something happened in Guanzhong, Chief Wu, since you just came over, you should have heard about it, what happened in Guanzhong?" ”

Yu Ke nodded and said, "I do know that when I came here, a major event did happen in Guanzhong, that is, the ship full of salt and iron sank, and the amount of salt and iron was huge enough to affect Guanzhong's livelihood and production throughout the year. ”

After he spoke, the surroundings were full of exclamations.

"What?"

"And this?"

"What happened in the end?"

“.”

Yuan and the others looked anxious.

They are all from Guanzhong, if this kind of big thing really happens, I am afraid that it will be difficult for their family this year, especially if they are not at home and lack young people, there may be big problems in the family this year.

"You don't have to worry, the matter has been settled." ”

"Shaofu transported a large amount of salt and iron from Aocang, and before I left, the shortage of salt and iron had been completely solved, and even there was a surplus in various places, in this regard, the imperial court also improved the quality of salt and iron, and did not increase any price."

Hear the words.

Yuan and the others breathed a long sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that the matter would not be resolved.

If the government can't solve it, what will happen to their family's livelihood?

Yuan asked again, "Chief Wu, are you sure the government has made a move?" Is this matter really settled? This can't be a lie, there are only a few old and weak people in my family, if it is not resolved, this will kill people. ”

Yu Ke nodded affirmatively: "Can this still be fake?" ”

"How could I lie to you about this? I can't do this kind of thing, what I said is true, and the eldest son is still responsible for this matter. ”

"You may not imagine how serious this is how serious it is."

"The entire Tingwei Mansion has been punished."

"The former Tingwei Meng Yi was directly dismissed, and when I left, I didn't hear any news, as for the other officials of the Tingwei Mansion, as well as the salt officials and iron officials under the rule of the Shaofu, they were all punished, and the scale of this punishment is unheard of."

"You haven't heard it now, but when you go back this time, you'll hear the news."

Hearing Yu Ke's words, Yuan and the others looked incredulous.

Meng Yi?

They weren't very familiar with Meng Yi.

But they know too much about Montessori.

Yuan said: "Meng Mengyi? ”

"I seem to have heard of this name, is he our general"

Yi Ke nodded and said, "It's the general's brother." ”

Hearing that it was Meng Tian's younger brother, several people couldn't help but gasp.

Immediately, I felt that my scalp was numb.

In fact, they never thought that the imperial court would punish them so severely, and it was Montessori, and the imperial court would be dismissed like this?

And the whole Tingwei Mansion?

Several people's eyes wandered, and there was a sense of unreality.

People in this status will also be punished? This is something they simply did not dare to think about in the past.

Yu Ke sighed: "The government's movement this time is indeed very big, and even several notices have been posted, explaining the cause and effect of this incident clearly, as for why the court lieutenant is punished, it is the court governor's mansion is derelict in its duties, did not take precautions in advance, and is also a little slack in political affairs." ”

"If the people of Tingwei's Mansion could prevent trouble in advance, maybe there would not have been hundreds of deaths, and Guanzhong would not have suffered this catastrophe, let alone cause turmoil in Guanzhong, this incident had a great impact, so in the end, Meng Yi Tingwei was also implicated and convicted."

Yuan opened his mouth wide, still a little incredulous.

Long.

It took a few people to come back to their senses.

Shocked and undecided: "According to what Commander Wu said, it is reasonable, but the government is so strict with the law, why does no one take care of us?" According to the law, we only need to serve for two years, and even if we serve in conscription at other times, we don't have to go to the frontier anymore, but we have clearly been here for four or five years. ”

"Why didn't anyone tell the court?"

"What's the problem?"

But he didn't answer.

He couldn't give an answer, but he thought about it in his heart, and felt that maybe the position of Taiwei was vacant, and the last Taiwei in Daqin was Wang Ben, but Wang Ben started to lie on the couch a few years ago and no longer dealt with political affairs, but the official position of Taiwei has always been retained.

At present, the Marquis of Tongwu has died of illness, and the position of Tai Lieutenant is still vacant.

It's just that Meng Tian should know about the situation in the army, why didn't he report it to His Majesty?

He couldn't think clearly.

The five of them rested for a while, turned over their horses again, and drove towards Yunzhong County.

It's twilight.

The five of them finally returned to Yunzhong County.

Seeing the tall Great Wall in front of them, several people's eyes were full of excitement.

He grabbed the horse's belly fiercely, shouted 'drive', and drove towards the city gate at a gallop

I have been running on horseback for several days, my palms and ankles have long been worn out, and my armor is not lowered, and my whole body is already sticky, so I am also eager to return to the barracks to repair.

Dada!

With the sound of horses' hooves flying.

The figures of the five gradually fell into the eyes of the city sergeant.

After some inspection, the five of them managed to enter the city, but before they could tell the news of what they had found, they heard a piece of news.

The eldest son is here!

Hearing the news, Yuan and the others looked slightly different.

Yi Ke secretly clenched his fists.

He knows.

There is nothing wrong with your own choice.

There is really going to be a change in the army, he is already in the army now, and he knows more news than others, as long as there is no problem, he should surpass many people in the army.

"Chief Wu, did you know that the eldest son would come?" Yuan asked in a low voice.

Yu Ke shook his head, his eyes flashed, and said, "How can I know the whereabouts of the eldest son?" However, the gentleman who gave me advice was indeed very close to the eldest son. ”

"The military is really going to start changing."

"Here's our chance!"

I don't know how to write about the army, so I write very slowly.

This part will pass quickly.
