Governor please stay

Chapter 166 All the gifts from fate have secretly marked the price
Outside the city of Xuchang, there are one hideous flagpole after another, with a villain who once caused misfortune hanging from it.The cold corpse swaying in the wind seems to be telling karma, and the cycle is not good.

In the tenant farms in the distance, there was dense cooking smoke, and faint laughter could be heard.

It's the Chinese New Year, and this New Year is going so well in such a "scary" atmosphere... Singing and dancing?
Many people couldn't understand why so many people were hanged, but the rest were still laughing.Maybe it's because most people were crying when they were alive.

In the study room of the other courtyard where Liu Yishou lived in Xuchangcheng, Liu Yishou looked at the thick stack of papers in Wang Wei's hand with strange eyes.

Except for the first page which is written in black, the rest of the paper is covered with bloody fingerprints.It's not cinnabar ink pad, but a genuine "blood book" that exudes a strong smell of blood.

"It's all duck blood, my lord is too worried."

Wang Wei bowed to Liu Yishou and said calmly.Liu Yishou nodded slightly, looked at ten lines at a glance, and found that it was a "thank you letter", which was "written" to him by tenants and homeless refugees in Dongping County, thanking him, Governor Liu, for eliminating harm for the people and giving Dongping A way of life for the poor in the county.The fingerprints on the back are the joint names of these people, thousands of them!
Its writing is sincere, its rhetoric is simple, and its words are implicit. Looking at the font, it is obviously written by Wang Wei.

"It's a bit shameless for you to do this!"

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

"My lord, I wrote this article. The handprints are actually owned by the tenant refugees in Dongping County. They also want to express their gratitude. These are all true!"

Wang Wei grabbed the big paper covered with fingerprints on the back and said, "Master, this is what the people want. Now the county government warehouse is full of gifts from tenants, although they are all insoles, straw sandals, and straw mats. and so on, but there are quite a few of them.”

He excitedly tugged at Liu Yishou's cuff and said, "My lord, this trick of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is really wonderful. In this way, whoever opposes us in Dongping County is against the people of Dongping County! If the people's will is so great, why worry about it?" No?"

Wang Wei's stomach is full of anger!The reason is that those Dongping County aristocratic families who chose to accept the [-]th lease contract actually dismissed the peripheral trilogy on a large scale, with the reason that they "can't afford it".These semi-militarized tribes do not usually farm, and their agricultural skills are very poor, so they can only become potential bandits when they are released.

You must know that farming is a "skilled job", and it is not just a strong laborer who can work in the field without training.The grasp of farming time and cultivation techniques all require accumulated experience.

Of course, these people are now in Liu Yishou's army, but there are so many people all of a sudden, which caused a lot of trouble for Wang Wei, Yu Wentai and others who reorganized Dongping County's troops.

It is quite normal for Wang Wei to complain a few words.This move of the family seems to cut the flesh, but in fact it loses weight. The rest of the parts are kinship, extremely loyal, and are in line with the core parts of the Hebei family.By the way, he calmly expressed his dissatisfaction to Liu Yishou and others.

You cut my flesh with blunt knives, don't you allow me to spit everywhere?

"Let them go, that's not my intention. For thousands of years, poor people have been born as slaves, and no one has said a word of justice for them. You see, I have done so much for them, and I can't wait to make thousands of families become Buddhas." up.

What's miserable is not that they are suffering, but that everyone has become numb to this kind of thing, and I really can't be complacent. "

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh, no joy could be seen on his face.

"My lord, benevolence and righteousness cannot win the world! Those tenants and poor people are just tools used by the big men to change the dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, cooking beans and burning Osmunda has been like this.Ever had a king burn his own? "Wang Wei was a little anxious.

"Forget it, I understand what you mean, I don't know how to behave like a woman."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, motioning for Wang Wei to get to the point.

"My lord, didn't we seize a lot of food, grass, and clothing from the local tyrants and evil gentry this time? I sent a batch to the tenants before, and now...it seems inappropriate. We are also short of it."

"Emergency does not help the poor, now is the sad time in winter, not only to give, but also to give with great fanfare. Let everyone know.

You don't have to think about the rest, just let these people pay back with the rent when they harvest next autumn, and don't add interest.

If we are still here during the autumn harvest, let these tenants pay [-]% of the rent to the aristocratic family, and the rest to us, and then we will return them in the form of farm tools, understand?
Even if we are short of food, we have no reason to blame those naked people. "

Liu Yishou said sternly, and Wang Wei quickly said that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Relying on relief alone cannot support so many people.Liu Yishou has a big idea, but he doesn't know whether there will be a peaceful environment to implement it in the future.There are so many craftsmen from Luoyang, they are not left idle.The development of agriculture led to the development of handicrafts.

The development of the handicraft industry continued to promote the development of agriculture, and the two promoted each other.Liu Yishou has a big game of chess in mind, and the key point in it cannot be described as good or evil.

Liu Yishou is like this. Although he won't sing the praises of the aristocratic and wealthy families who lie on the toiling masses and suck blood, he will not be a boring knight who foolishly rushes towards the mill windmill.

"Well, find a time tomorrow, and you and I will go deliver some rice, grain and cloth together."

Seeing a figure swaying at the door, Liu Yishou seemed anxious, so Liu Yishou hurriedly sent Wang Wei away.

After he left, chubby Yang Min walked in, holding a document in his hand, and sighed there.

"what happened?"

Seeing the fat man's appearance, Liu Yishou knew that something was not right.

"The governor of Jinan County rejected our proposal to station in Licheng (now Licheng District of Jinan), saying that they have enough soldiers and provisions to defend against Xing Gao.

The official document is here. "

Liu Yishou opened the envelope of the official document, and it said that all the surnames in Jinan County had assembled private troops to form county soldiers, stationed in key cities to defend against Xing Gao, and there was no need for the court to worry about it for the time being.

When Xing Gao really calls in the future and they can't stand it anymore, they will ask Liu Dudu to come out.

This move seems to be "intimate", but in fact it is as slick as a trick.

Liu Yishou raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do they mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. It's just to show us face. I don't want us to use the method of cleaning up Dongping County on them."

Yang Min spread his hands and said helplessly.

Jinan County is no better than Dongping County.Jinan County is a large county with a long history, and there are many big families and surnames everywhere. It has been said since ancient times that those who win Jinan get Qingzhou.

The major surnames in Jinan County include Lin, Fu, Tan, Fang, etc. These surnames have strong capital and are very difficult to deal with.Later, Fang Xuanling, a famous official in the early Tang Dynasty, and Fu Fu, a famous official in the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasties, all came from here.Its background is also incomparable to the local turtles here in Dongping County.

"These people probably saw that we put all the local tyrants and evil gentry in Dongping County on the flagpole, so they felt a sense of sympathy, and things hurt their kind."

Liu Yishou sneered.

Yang Min bowed his hands and said: "The aristocratic families in Jinan County have a better reputation and the land is more fertile, but they may not necessarily suck the bones of the tenants.

However, they would never accept [-]% of the land rent.Give us a soft nail now, probably not because we are not really afraid of Xing Gao, but because we want to bargain with us. "

Yang Min let out a long sigh, these aristocratic families all remember to eat but not fight, and they will never shed tears when the rope is not put on their heads.

"Since they want to be heroes, let them be."

Liu Yishou smiled and said: "You send an official letter to Lin County Sheriff of Jinan County, saying that there are many bandits in Dongping County, and we can't get away from suppressing the bandits with difficulty, let them continue to gather private troops to protect themselves.

After the spring plowing begins, I will see if they are in a hurry or I am. "

Would this be bad?
Yang Min asked worriedly, "What if Xing Gao breaks through Licheng?"

"We'll just take it back. I'm not Yuan Ziyou. If Jinan County loses it, what does it have to do with me, a ruthless pigeon?"

Liu Yishou sneered.

Although he didn't understand what "ruthless pigeon" meant, Yang Min could tell that Liu Yishou didn't take the life and death of a wealthy family in Jinan County seriously at all.

Seems like they'd be better off dead.

"What if they seek refuge with Xing Gao?"

Yang Min asked curiously.

Liu Yishou asked rhetorically, "Everywhere Xing Gao went, did the tenants get [-]% of the land rent?"

"That's not the case. Where he went, the refugees in Hebei became the masters, and the locals, rich or poor, became slaves."

Yang Min still did some work, and many things are not secrets.

"Isn't that enough? The tenants and refugees in Dongping County, in order to keep [-]% of the land rent, will definitely fight with anyone who wants to do something. At that time, we will go to Jinan County by the way.

Hit the local tyrants, divide the fields, and let those miserable tenants and refugees stand up and call the shots. "

Seeing the brilliance in Liu Yishou's eyes, Yang Min rolled up his sleeves and made a big salute.

"My lord is far-sighted and considerate every step of the way. I admire you so much."

"Okay, you don't need to flatter me, just go and reply to the official document. When those people come to beg us on their knees again, you should write a letter to scold them for being such bastards."

Liu Yishou clenched his fist tightly and said.

……

The "shanty town" in Xuchang City looks very shabby, and some refugees who moved to the city live here.The reason why they were taken in was not because of the kindness of those aristocratic families, but because of the chores in the city, which also required many people to do.These people lost their arable land and were unable to cultivate the land, and became the group of people who "work to make money".

Now these people's families are all young and strong who joined the army and joined the army led by Liu Yishou.

There was no government or military affairs to be done today. Liu Yishou asked Jia Chunhua to accompany him, took Wang Wei and Yuan Shikang with him, and asked his subordinates to push a few flatbed carts of rice grains to "send warmth" from door to door.

Those who give away their children, those who sing praises, and those who are worried that the aristocratic family will counterattack after Liu Yishou leaves, different people have different ideas.

But one thing is certain, these military families all worship Liu Yishou as a god.

"My lord, the old woman just now is blind and wants to give the insole she sewed by herself to the lord. What does this mean? It is popular!"

Walking out of the "shanty town", Wang Wei was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

It is indeed popular.

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and did not speak.

"Recently, many refugees from Jinan County have come to join us. Not only can we drive Xing Gao away, but we can also crack the earth and become king!

My lord, why not plunder the land to the south!Yang Kan has not been interested in paying attention to us recently, and I think it will be no problem to win Rencheng.At that time, there will be a wider space for us to move around, and we can play however we want! "

For a while, Wang Wei froze up.

But this is obviously too big a step, and it will be pulled.

Liu Yishou shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, go get busy, I still have something to do."

Wang Wei looked at Jia Chunhua, who was graceful and charming, with a rather warm and pleasant temperament, and secretly sighed in his heart, his master's backyard really has all kinds of types, thanks to him he can still control it.

If it were a lecherous one, I'm afraid he would have died young because of too much intercourse.

Wang Wei, Yuan Shikang and others ran away in a hurry.After they left, Jia Chunhua took Liu Yishou's arm calmly and asked softly, "Does Alang have something to say to my concubine?"

"Yes, because I have never been able to empathize with the desperation of poor people.

I haven't suffered much since I was a child. When I grow up, you understand, I can do whatever I want to make a living or even live a good life, and it won't be a big problem.

The kind of poverty, the dark life, has always been a little distance from me. "

In the southwest, there is a saying that "the sky is not sunny for three days, the land is not three feet flat, and people are not three silver coins".Therefore, the source of soldiers in the Southwest has always been hard-working and able to fight fierce battles.

The Beifu soldiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were mainly exile soldiers, and the exile soldiers were displaced and suffered all the sufferings of the world. Naturally, their combat effectiveness was not comparable to those pampered and pampered young master soldiers.

Numerous examples are enough to prove that soldiers from poor backgrounds are more resistant to fighting, and there is no need for explanation for their strong combat effectiveness.

"Actually, seeing so much today, I am also very moved. If there was a famine in my hometown, if someone like A Lang stepped forward, I am afraid that my parents, brothers, sisters and relatives would not die."

"They should all want to pay their hearts out for A Lang to repay A Lang's great kindness."

Jia Chunhua said very seriously.

Liu Yishou looked into her gentle eyes, and after a long time, he shook his head, sighed and did not speak.

All the gifts from fate are secretly priced.

Liu Yishou murmured something silently in his heart, it was meaningless to say it, and it would only increase troubles.

"Back when Wu Qi led the army, he loved his soldiers like sons. One day, a soldier's mother saw Wu Qi sucking the abscess on her son's body, so she lay down on the ground and cried loudly."

Liu Yishou told Jia Chunhua a story, of course, only started.

"Why is that old woman crying? The commander is very kind to her son."

Jia Chunhua asked suspiciously.

Liu Yishou shook his head and said, "It's nothing, she probably remembered something sad.

Let's go, today is still Chinese New Year, cook something delicious tonight, and call everyone. "
