Chapter 258: Borrowing a Knife

The morning light shone on the field, and Xue Bai woke up to find that he was covered in dew.

There is only dew, no love.

The horses also stood up from the ground, snorted, Lao Liang and Jiang Hai took out the buns from their backpacks, and the three of them sat on the ground, gnawed in silence, and continued to march along the river.

In the evening, there are more houses in front, and when you reach the territory of Yuncheng, the road behind can no longer go along the river, Lao Liang is good at finding the way, and inquires about "Gongsun Jianzhuang in Yuanxiangtang on North Street" while walking, and finally knocks on the door in front of a mansion.

"Squeak", the door was opened, and it was Li Shiniang who came out, still holding a wooden sword in his hand, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.

'Huh? How did Captain Xue come? ”

Xue Bai asked, "You were punished by the master for practicing swords?" ”

"Shout, no, I'm diligent." Li Shiniang waved her sword and asked, "You county officials can't leave the country without permission, right?" ”

"Naturally, there is something to do."

If nothing happens, maybe Xue Bai has gone to Luoyang to meet Li Qiniang at this time.

"I'll take you to see Master, but there are all female disciples in our Sword Village, so it's inconvenient for you to borrow a place to stay, so you will stay in a farmer's house outside tonight, right?"

Remember the URL

"Okay."

Aunt Gongsun is dressed as a peasant woman and is planting vegetables in the field. After not seeing her for a few months, her spirit was much better, and when she saw Xue Bai, she couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "Although it is pleasing to see old friends, why did Xue County Lieutenant come to Yuncheng?"

"I heard that there is a group of thieves on Wuyang Erlang Mountain, I want to recruit them and take a trip for this." Xue Bai didn't tell the truth completely, but his attitude was very frank.

Aunt Gongsun was puzzled and asked, "Running so far to recruit thieves?" ”

"There are bad people in the county who are secretly colluding with them." Xue Bai joked: "I'm afraid that after they can't fight me, they will hire thieves to kill them, so they just take the lead." ”

When he uses the word "bad guy", it is easier for Gongsun Auntie and Li Shiniang to understand, although they still don't understand it.

Aunt Gongsun didn't ask any more and said, "But it's too dangerous for you to go to Erlang Mountain alone." ”

Lao Liang and Jiang Hai both straightened their waists and signaled that Xue Bai was not going alone.

"No, it won't." Xue Bai said: "I started to understand them last winter, and they were quite righteous, and they also had some friendship with each other. It's just that I don't know the place well, so I asked Aunt Gongsun to find a local trusted person to lead us over. ”

"Me." Li Twelve Niang said: "I have been to Erlang Mountain. ”

"You can't, it's inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient? My martial arts skills are higher than those of the county lieutenant. ”

Lao Liang also felt that it was inappropriate, and whispered to Jiang Hai: "We take her with us, I'm afraid it will look like a trafficker who plunders and sells his beloved." ”

Xue Bai didn't know how to take a little girl, so he rested in Yuncheng for a night, and the next day Aunt Gongsun arranged a guide to lead him to Erlang Mountain.

Erlang Mountain is not precipitous, but it is next to a lake, named Shiman Lake.

On this day, the men had gone to the Iron Mountain to mine, and some women were fishing by the lake.

Seeing someone coming from afar, it looked like two evil men had kidnapped a rich man. But when they got closer, the women couldn't recognize the two wicked men as their men, and they were all quite sturdy.

"Is Fan Jiao here?"

"Who are you?"

"Please tell him again, and say that the winter has made him think about it, and there should be an answer."

It wasn't until the evening that Fan Gao led the men back from Iron Mountain, and when he heard this, his face was filled with embarrassment.

He sighed a little helplessly and said, "I'll go and welcome him up the mountain." ”

Xue Bai was led by Fan Jiao to climb Erlang Mountain, there is a waterfall in the mountain, which is quite spectacular, but unfortunately there is no water curtain hole behind. Walking across the suspension bridge, you will see a boulder, where Liu Xiu is said to have tied his horse.

Fan Jiao didn't have the heart to speak, walked for a while, and said in a sullen voice: "The scenery here is fine." ”

Xue Bai replied: "It's not as good as Shouyang Mountain Luhun Villa." ”

Although Fan Gao had transported copper materials to the Song family, he had never been to Luhun Villa, so he did not say anything.

There was a row of houses in front of him, Qiao Erwa had just come down from the Iron Mountain, and was chopping wood, and was surprised to see Xue Bai, so he rushed forward directly to bow down, but he only shouted "County Captain", and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xue Bai helped him up and asked, "Are your aunt and Liu Cui okay?" ”

Qiao Erwa's aunt was actually not used to living in the mountains, but he opened his mouth but responded loudly: "Okay! ”

Xue Bai continued to walk forward with Fan Jiao and asked, "Fan Da is not worried about Qiao Erwa's eyeliner sent by me. ”

"It's all bitter haha, I can tell it."

Speaking of this topic, Fan Gao rarely talked a little more, and said: "Diao Geng brought people back, just dig iron to earn a living." I don't do anything wrong to him, and he doesn't owe me. ”

Xue Bai said: "You have a lot of people here, can you feed them all?" ”

"There weren't so many in the beginning, and I only brought back a dozen brothers that year." Fan Jiao said, "Over the years, I have seen more and more grains in the official warehouse, and there are more and more people who come to make a living. There is little money on the Iron Mountain, and those who are willing to live a hard life with me will stay. ”

"What if you don't want to?"

"We will go up to the copper field, and there will be a shaft down there, and there will always be people dying in it, and we will not go, for there is no reason to exchange the lives of the brethren for money. The county lieutenant smiled, we didn't have much ambition. ”

Fan Gao seems to be making a vague statement.

Iron Mountain earns serious wages, but doesn't earn much. He smuggled and sold copper, and he must have had to make some connections in the process, in short, he had shrunk into this mountain den to feed so many people, and he didn't want to do anything more dangerous.

But the world is unreasonable, and even when it comes to smuggling, more head-killing activities will come to the door sooner or later.

Pushing open the door, the two entered a wooden house.

Different from the lobby of the Juyi Hall that Xue Bai had expected, this wooden house was very small, and it was Fan Gao's own living place. As for discussing affairs, maybe just find an open place in the mountains, in short, there is no building a righteous hall in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, there were still a few books in the wooden house, and the one spread out on the top was "The Continuation of the Green Messenger".

"You like to read this kind of story too?"

"A few days ago, I tied up a rich businessman and picked it up from his luggage."

"Do you know how to read? Oh yes, you've been a team leader. ”

Xue Bai put down the book and observed the dirty and messy house, trampling a few insects to death in the process, and found that he couldn't finish stepping on them, so he let them crawl at his feet.

He found that the boss of Fan Gao was not young and had not yet started a family, and his life was not good, but he was not poor, and there was a box of shiny copper coins piled up in the corner, and he didn't even cover the lid, but said that the materials were not rich.

"How can you live such a life in the mountains? Isn't it good to buy a mansion in the city? ”

"How dare you?" Fan Jiao kicked the box, "I can't buy it in this realm, and so many people follow me, I can't ignore it." ”

Xue Bai understood through this sentence that the government here knew that the copper materials in the copper field were smuggled out to make private money, and they just turned a blind eye.

"Do you regret it? If he hadn't lost his team head back then, maybe he would be an official now? Like noble. ”

"County lieutenant, you came here on purpose, if you have something to say, please say it directly, so as not to make me panic."

In other words, Fan Jiao would not be flustered, but what Xue Bai said was unusual.

Xue Bai asked, "Have you thought about it?" Are you willing to do things for the emperor? ”

He didn't ask, Fan had a heart hanging in his head; When the question really came out, Fan Gao was even more embarrassed.

"Of course I have a sincere heart for Datang." Fan Jiao thought about it for two or three months, first held back such a useless sentence, and then said: "But after all, I don't even know which emperor and grandson are supporting the county lieutenant. ”

"So what? Would you like to bypass me and see him directly? ”

"No, I'm a mountain and weed, even if the county lieutenant told me, I don't know which emperor and grandson it is, let alone what I can do." Fan Jiao said: "Let me say this, the gods in the sky are fighting, what is the use of finding mortals on the earth?" ”

Xue Bai smiled when he heard this, and Fan Jiao saw that his analogy was useful, so he became energetic and continued to make analogies.

"The two dragons in the sky are fighting, and the county lieutenant has asked us little chickens and ducklings on the ground to help. If we are really greedy for those two mouthfuls of rice, it will not be enough for the dragon to make a gap between the teeth.

Xue Bai said: "As long as Your Highness can succeed, you have the merit of supporting it, what kind of glory and wealth do you have?"

Fan Jiao usually doesn't smile, but at this time, he is willing to lose his smiling face, and said: "The county lieutenant will spare us, this box of copper coins ....."

"Do you dare to smuggle with Gao Chong and be unwilling to contribute to the country?!" Xue Bai Zhengse drank, "You already know the matter, do you know what the fate will be if you refuse the emperor and grandson?!" ”

Fan Gao's expression changed and he lowered his head.

Xue Bai said: "You can kill me, but the emperor already knows that I am coming to entrap you, as long as you can bear the consequences." ”

"Don't dare." Fan Gao raised his head, looked at Xue Bai sincerely, and said, "To tell the county lieutenant the truth, my brothers are all untouchables, and they can't ......afford to live when they are involved in the battle for the throne."

Xue Bai asked, "Why don't you listen to how much glory and wealth Your Highness can give you?" ”

"There is no reason to push my brothers to their deaths for the sake of my own wealth."

If you want to be rich, Gao Chong has not promised Fan Gao.

When Fan Jiao was the leader of the team in Huaizhou, he had already seen how despised the gentry and their subordinates. If you really promise to die and wait for the living brothers to become victims, do the magnates care?

I know that I can't do this for the reason, so I just ask the county lieutenant to be considerate and help explain a thing or two to His Highness. ”

Xue Bai looked at Fan Gao's eyes for a while, but he breathed a sigh of relief, because he came to Henan Mansion and wanted to find such a person.

He has been thinking about who can become his supporter at this stage, the clan is always profit-seeking, although he can win over the side clans, he is always easy to sway, the poor still need time to grow, and he can't afford to buy people who are too selfish.

At this stage when Xue Bai has nothing, what he can buy must be the bottom, and the capable and powerful people at the bottom often know how to get together to find a way, and the greedy ones have often been bought by various interest groups...... The rest is what he's looking for.

Xue Bai didn't come to recruit An Fan Prison to deal with Gao Chong and Gao Gao, but now that Gao Shang is dead, the gentry of Yanshi has also realized that his ambition as a county lieutenant is not small. The important thing is that he needs to have his own people and make his own business.

"I can explain it for you." Xue Bai said: "But even if His Highness understands you, you can live well?" Since you smuggled copper and iron, you are destined to become someone else's knife, do you think this matter is seamless? Let me tell you, the sage was furious in the Lishan assassination case, and he has found out that many of your subordinates are fellow villagers with Liu Hua!

Fan Jiao was completely ignorant of things at this level, and he couldn't tell the difference at all.

Xue Bai said: "The emperor and grandson already knew An Lushan's rebellion, and I came to be noble, but now that he has been awarded the head, the traitor can't succeed." But what do you do? If Gao Chong is immortal, in order to avoid implicating the border town forces behind him, he still doesn't take you to blame? You deserve to die for your crimes, the emperor and grandson are lenient, and you can persuade you with good words. ”

What about you? Engaged in the business of killing heads, and he didn't know that he was dying, and he covered his ears and stole the bell in the name of caring for his brothers?!

"I..."

"Even if you tie your head to the waistband of your pants and do things, instead of making a small fuss, you should do the biggest business in the world. It takes the same amount of effort, and the most you stake is a life. Why not be vigorous and famous?! ”

Fan Jiao was confused, and subconsciously refused: "The county lieutenant thinks too highly of me........"

Xue Bai said: "Believe me, Your Highness is completely different from what you imagined. He is the most willing person in the clan to stand by the side of you bitter haha. You have been a team leader, urging taxes, you should understand the disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty, I encountered heavy rain when I crossed Tongguan, the Yellow River was in a hurry, a few fishermen in order to sell a few more Yellow River carp, took advantage of the heavy rain to go down the river, was swept away by the river five people, leaving only orphans and widows on the shore to cry, it is clear that they each earned 50 yuan the day before, and there are still acres of land at home, why do you have to go down the river in the rainstorm?

Blame them for their greed? But when I went to Yanshi County, I watched the lives of peasant households, calculated the taxes they bear each year, and came to a truth: harsh taxes are fiercer than the turbulent Yellow River.

You just said that the grain in the official warehouse is increasing year by year, and there are more and more people who abandon the fields to make a living. What we see is the same as you, Datang is like a man in the prime of life, sick, the rent adjustment can no longer be implemented, like a patient can't breathe, it seems that the disease is in the lungs, no, the disease is in the brain. His Royal Highness wants to sweep away old diseases and inspire the world, and he needs help. You just said that the gods fight, and mortals can't help, you're wrong. His Royal Highness remembers the precept of Taizong, 'The boat is better than the king, the water is better than the Lishu, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat'. ”

Fan was speechless for a long time.

He may not be able to fully listen to Xue Bai's words, but he can feel Xue Bai's sincerity, and the sincerity of those in high positions to them as untouchables, he has rarely encountered them in his life, such as when Gao Chong persuaded him to smuggle iron and stone, he said, "What is my identity?" I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

"Let's talk about some practicality, you have a lot of strength, but what you lack is the protection of the official, I can give it to you.

Xue Bai said, kicked the box of copper coins, and said, "It's like you have these coins empty, but you can't spend them, are you really doing well?" Isn't it like a rat hiding in a dark hole and stealing food? ”

Fan Gao was still hesitating, and someone outside suddenly shouted.

"Handsome!"

Fan Gao came to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone from Yanshi County is looking for you."

After hearing this, Fan Jiao turned his head and glanced at Xue Bai, a little puzzled.

Xue Bai knew who was coming, and said with a smile: "You will know when you see it." ”

Fan Gao nodded and went out.

He is not a well-guarded place here, Xue Bai came out of the house, beckoned Lao Liang and Jiang Hai, and whispered, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Xue Bai didn't get too close, standing in the mountains and forests watching Fan Gao meet with a person.

Lao Liang, who was born in Tanma, touched the past and listened, it was a small steward of the Song family, named Song Tiangui, who had come to Erlang Mountain to explain the copper material to Fan Gao, but today he came to speak for the noble, for the sake of noble things.

No one knew the reason better than Xue Bai in this matter, and he didn't bother to go over and listen to it more, until a quarrel sounded.

"What's the use of talking to me?! You either hand over the murderer, or go and explain to Gao Langjun! ”

"Steward Song doesn't have to be excited, they are all well-known men, if Gao County Cheng is really killed by us, we will never shirk! But there is something else to be said in this matter......"

Fan Gao also knew that Xue Bai deliberately separated from each other, but they were all officials, and he was a citizen, and he didn't know what to say.

Song Tiangui really shook his head and said, "Fan Shuaitou still doesn't understand, who cares if you have a secret or not?" The important thing is that the Song family has to give Gao Langjun an explanation, understand?

"We didn't kill it."

"Why can't I tell you? Did you kill it, Diao Geng has confessed in front of the people of the county, and Gao Langjun has to avenge his righteous brother in public. ”

Diao Geng is not a murderer, how can he call revenge.

"Still don't understand?!" Song Tiangui spat and said loudly: "If you kill Diao Geng, others will feel that Gao Langjun has taken revenge." ”

"If you don't report it, you don't report it...."

"Handsome, I can't tell him." Diao Geng said, "Damn, I'll just take a trip, the Gao brothers are good, and I won't be afraid of them." ”

Diao Bing said: "I'll go, noble begged for mercy for the handsome man, it's a big deal to give him my life." ”

The crowd was in a commotion, and the men stepped forward noisily to stop the Diao brothers.

"Don't move!" Fan Gao shouted: "A little misunderstanding can't be solved?!" ”

Song Tiangui said: "The Song family gives you so many copper coins every year, it is so difficult to explain ........"

"Poof."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed, and a knife slashed diagonally at Song Tiangui's neck, and plasma gushed out.

It was Jiang Hai who took advantage of the chaos of everyone and stepped forward to finish it directly.

"Jiri!"

The crowd exclaimed, "What are you doing?!" *

Jiang Hai pulled out the machete, turned his head, wiped the blood on his face, glanced at everyone with disdain, and said, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, all a group of girls." ”

When Fan Jiao saw him committing murder in his own territory, he directly pounced on him and wanted to press Jiang Hai down.

Jiang Hai was not afraid of him, threw away the knife, and scolded: "Come on! Little ....."

Yanshi County.

It was the seventh day of the noble day, and things were going well. Although he didn't do anything, he just reminded the Yanshi officials and gentry a few words.

Only Xue Bai didn't react at all, which made him mind very much.

But as far as noble ambitions are concerned, his enemy is not Xue Bai, but the Tang Dynasty, I don't know when this idea came from, maybe it was innate.

He was a native of Yongzhou, begging with his mother when he was a child, and went all the way south to Huaizhou, in the process of growing up, his hatred for the Tang court has been increasing day by day, so that when he was the hungriest, he gritted his teeth and determined.

"I'd rather die than bite the grass roots to survive!"

At the time, it was probably just talking, thinking it as a crazy idea. It wasn't until he met An Lushan that he really gradually sorted out his thoughts...... He once assisted Li Qiwu in governing Henan when he was the Yin of Henan, so he thought that if he did something, the first step should be to attack Luoyang, and arranging Gao Chong in Luoyang was also for this purpose.

In this long-term plan, the officials in Henan Province who worked hard to collect taxes, and the clans who desperately encroached on acres of land and concealed the population, were all his "helpers".

As for Xue Bai, it was a stumbling block. In this way, there have always been officials who work hard to control the accumulated defects and strive to maintain the Tang court, and those who can be won over must be eliminated, otherwise they will become obstacles in the future.

If Xue Bai resisted, he would naturally be defeated by the general trend, and Gao Shang would not be surprised, but it went too smoothly but made him alert, for this reason, he also dreamed of Linghu Banniang last night.

When he was in Huaizhou, Linghu Banniang was the daughter of Linghu Chao in Hanoi County at that time, but she pretended to be a maidservant and associated with nobles.

Gao Shang is very glad that although he was born a pariah, he has a fairly handsome appearance, of course, he can charm Linghu Banniang, mainly because of his dangerous temperament.

He warned her that the Linghu family would rather not want her as a daughter than him as a son-in-law, but she still followed him desperately...... They gave birth to a female baby, which made the fox family really disagree, and only said that Banniang was a maidservant, but still gave Gao Shang a chance to be a small official.

I heard that Xue Bai probably made a career like this, but he was more attentive, climbing Mrs. Qiu Guo and the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the other.

This time, the daughter of the Prime Minister came to Luoyang on purpose, and brought Jin Wuwei, if it wasn't for Xue Bai, noble would never believe it, the girl's feelings are always spring, he understands.

Thinking about Xue Bai's children's affection, Gao Shang decided to go to Luoyang, and he needed to deal with Xue Bai in person.

As for Yanshi County, he doesn't need to do anything, the collusion of officials and gentry is something that Yanshi can't break.

"Lang Jun, the ship is ready."

"Let's go."

"Whoa."

Tian Qianzhen has gone to Luoyang, and now he is escorted by Gao Shang's side is Kangbu, who is the enemy of 10,000 people in Fan Yang's army.

The two of them didn't have to take their luggage, they had their own residence in Luoyang, and Kang Bu carried a double-plate axe on his back, led the horse and left.

When I arrived at the dock and boarded the ship, before I untied the cable, in the distance, a Song family ran and shouted:

"Gao Langjun, wait!"

"What?"

The steward we sent to Erlang Mountain was killed, and Xue Bai was in Erlang Mountain! ”

"What?" Gao Shang was surprised and got off the boat directly. ”

"But Fan Jiao put back the slave that Song Tiangui brought, and brought a message, saying that when he was imprisoned in Huaizhou, it was Gao Langjun who helped him intercede, and he was willing to use Xue Bai to make amends to Gao Langjun, and write off the previous incident."

Gao Shang was even more surprised and asked, "Fan Gao has already taken down Xue Bai?" ”

"Yes. He said that if Gao Langjun could agree not to pursue the Diao brothers again, he would personally take Xue Bai to Yanshi to plead guilty. ”

"What did Song Gong say?"

After Song Zhiyi reacted to Xue Bai's ambitions, he actually hoped that Xue Bai would die more than noble.

Noble but feeling wrong.

It was so smooth, even smoother than he had thought. In addition, he didn't think that Fan Gao had the courage to kill officials.

"No, it's fake, Fan Jiao told a lie." Gao Shang shook his head and muttered, "Why did Fan Gao tell this lie? It's a trick, Xue Bai's back hand is on the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion......."

"Promise Fan Gao, as long as Xue Bai is killed, the Song family will not be blamed in the past."

At the same time, Song Mian happily replied.

When he got the news, he was discussing things with several uncles, eager to prove that he had no personal relationship with Xue Bai, so he didn't care about any tricks at all.

In particular, the Song family cooperated with Xue Bai to sell counterfeit money several times, and they were even more eager to kill people.

The matter has just been dealt with, and new news has arrived.

"The county order has approved the official document, and you can take down Fenghui Bank."

"Gather all the men." Song Mian said: "What about the people of the Yang Firm? ”

"Originally, I thought that I was protecting Du Wulang and went to Luoyang, but in the past few days, we have found out that Xue Bai and his concubines and the female proprietors of the Yang family have all gone to Luoyang, and there are only a few people left to protect the sick 'Xue Bai' in a fake way, but in fact, Xue Bai is not in Yanshi at all."

"Let's go!"

The Song family had to move the Fenghui Bank because their fake copper coins were inside. Once Xue Baiyu dies and the net is broken, it will be fatal evidence.

"The county office investigates the case, get out of the way!"

There are indeed not many guys in Fenghui Bank, and when they see someone breaking in, they don't resist, so they consciously retreat.

Song Mian was very surprised, strode to the backyard, turned his head to look, and saw that half of his copper coin had been melted.

"Why is that?"

"At least it can be seen that this son is not really cooperating with the Song family, harboring evil intentions, search!"

"Search! It's best to find out the evidence of Xue Bai's guilt. ”

"Look at this!"

Everything happened quickly, and Song Mian had not yet found the accounts of Fenghui Bank, and several of his uncles had already handed over a letter.

The letter was written by Yang Guozhong, an important minister of the court, Yang Guozhong is now in the limelight for the saint, Song Mian first looked at the seal and handwriting, and knew that this letter could not be faked.

It's just a letter left behind when moving, but it makes the Song family entangled.

"What to do? If you offend Xue Bai, do you also offend this person?"

"What else can you do if you have already sinned and died? It's nothing more than buying off the Yang Party. ”

"It can be seen that Xue Bai's biggest reliance is really the Yang family."

But when Lu Linghao saw it, he was a little relieved and said, "Don't worry, Yang Shaoqing is still easy to talk to, and the county will explain to him." ”

Song Mian couldn't help but be puzzled and asked, "Does the county order still know Yang Shaoqing?" ”

Lu Linghao stroked his long beard and didn't answer, but he was confident and said, "With this county and noble, you don't have to care about Xue Bai." ”

In this way, the matter is over, and someone from the Song family asked, "What about the loss of the Song family?" ”

"What's the loss?"

"Hachilang died tragically, not to mention, my family paid for 200 hectares of land, but Gao Langjun promised to return it to the Guo family..."

Lu Linghao was still easy to speak, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Now that he is back in charge of the Yanshi County Office, it is time for him to erect his majesty again.

"Xue Bai's evil lies in the liquidation of acres of land and household registration, laboring the people and hurting the money, such as Yu Wenrong's generation bringing disaster to the country and the people."

Yu Wenrong is the prime minister of the Kaiyuan period, the main political achievement is to include households, including fields, simply put, to clear the acres of fields, with tax reduction policies to attract displaced people to return to their hometowns, so that the imperial court has increased more than 800,000 households, clear out a large amount of land, the so-called "Liuhu Dalai" and "Wang Tian Zaili".

Of course, Yu Wenrong was finally convicted and degraded, and died on the way to exile, and his policy has also become a bad government of persecution and returning to the homeless people.

This is Xue Bai's fate, but Xue Bai's official position is not worthy of it.

Lu Linghao groaned and said slowly: "In the name of Qingzhang, in fact, out of his own selfish interests, he persecuted and confiscated, and since this county has found out, he cannot tolerate it...... Someone came, and burned Xue Bai's newly made field book and household book! ”

"Whoa."

In this way, the Song family was relieved, and Lu Linghao meant to make up for the loss with how much hidden land they occupied.

"Burn!"

The brazier had been erected, and with this command, a booklet was thrown into the fire, and in an instant it was engulfed in flames.

In this way, no matter how many people in Yanshi County have fled from their households, the number of households and acres of land will remain unchanged, and the amount of tax on rent adjustment will also remain unchanged

It's not a bad guy.

The smoke rose like a sigh.

The next day, Lu Linghao convened the high-ranking households and made a statement.

"The field book and household book do not need to be rebuilt, and the tax is paid according to the previous old book, and if there is a dispute over the ownership of the land, you can come to the county office with the title deed to solve it.

"The county order is lenient and benevolent, and the government order is light and simple, which is conducive to people's livelihood."

"Yes, the booklet is still burned, no need."

At the same time, a young man named Hu Laishui told Xue Bai about it.

"Burn it, burn it." Xue Bai said, "No need. ”
