Dozens of cavalry entered the city all the way and dismounted at the county office. Zhang Gongjin, the leader, felt uneasy. Not long after they broke up, Li Shan ordered someone to summon them urgently. Something must have happened.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the county magistrate."
This time, Li Shan, who was sitting upright, picked up the famous general of the early Tang Dynasty without making any gesture of affection. There was no expression on his face, and he stared at Zhang Gongjin for a long time. After a while, he said: "Sit down."
Zhang Gongjin hesitated for a moment and asked: "County Lord, what happened?"
Li Shan glanced over expressionlessly, and Zhang Gongjin immediately closed his mouth and sat to the side obediently... From the first contact to the present, this world-famous young county magistrate has always been gentle and elegant, but everyone still remembers it.
The view of Beijing outside Yanmen Pass.
After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties hurried over and said, "Mr. Guantao County, I am..."
"Brother Yi Zhi has already written. I wanted to visit you on the way south." Li Shanpi snorted with a smile, "Sit down for now."
"Mr. Yan." Zhang Gongjin greeted cautiously.
"Hong Shen, long time no see." The middle-aged man exchanged a few words, then heard Li Shan cough above him, and the two of them became quiet.
This middle-aged man was born in the Fang family of Qinghe. He was the uncle of Li Shimin's most important adviser Fang Xuanling, Fang Renyu. He was also a descendant of the Qin king. The general manager of Xinzhou had been vacant for many years, and it was only this year that Fang Renyu filled it.
The silent atmosphere gradually solidified, and it wasn't until the sun set that a loud announcement came from outside the door, "Lang Jun, Xue Wanche, the recorder of the Daizhou Governor's Office, and Yuanyou, the military officer of Sitian, are here to pay their respects."
Xue Wanche walked into the hall, bowed and saluted, but glanced at Zhang Gongjin from the corner of his eye, with undisguised gloating in his eyes.
Zhang Gongjin's heart sank. Yuanyou was a member of the Yuan clan in Dingxiang, and he had to be recommended by himself to join the army as Sitian.
Li Shan was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked directly: "Have you found it?"
A guard took out the atlas and account book and said, "I found it. It's exactly what it said."
"Sixty-three people, including thirty-two young and middle-aged, moved from Mayi to Dingxiang, Xinzhou in November last year." Li Shan turned over the pages, nodded and said, "I remember these people moved to Daizhou, Dadu, last year.
Although these sixty-three people moved from Mayi, their ancestral home is Dingxiang, Xinzhou."
After flipping through the album again, Li Shan threw it towards Yuan You who looked downcast, "Twelve miles north of the city, there are 150 acres of farmland, right?"
The personal guards held seven or eight members of the Yuan clan kneeling behind them, and Li Shan's suppressed anger burst out, "But he is very smart and is in peace. He waits for them to plant winter wheat, or even wait for fertilization in spring, before taking away their acres.
"
"It's just to seize his land, but he actually wants to capture him as a slave..." Li Shan kicked Yuan You over and shouted: "Zhang Gongjin, this is Si Tian you chose to join the army!"
“What a good eye!”
Xue Wanche on the side laughed so hard that his mouth split open. Zhang Gongjin gritted his teeth and glared at Yuanyou who was on the ground.
"It's just a matter of seizing land and people. If you don't see it, forget it, but you can be caught by someone!" Li Shan sneered: "Not only is it evil, but it's also stupid!"
Zhang Gongjin was also speechless. Indeed, it was too stupid to be caught by Li Shan after doing such a thing...or maybe it was too bad luck.
"Xue Wanche!"
"exist."
Li Shan asked with a cold face: "On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, what did you order?"
Xue Wanche immediately replied: "The county official issued an order to Daizhou and Xinzhou not to treat the relocated residents harshly."
"Zhang Gongjin!"
"The official is here."
“When you are about to do something big, what should you be most afraid of?”
Zhang Gongjin's lips trembled, "The most fearful thing is that the place is unrest and the people are fighting."
Others couldn't understand it, but Li Shan and Zhang Gongjin knew it well.
To march to the camp, it is necessary to control Mayi and divide Yuan Junzhang's army. But now a large number of foreign people have moved to Daizhou and Xinzhou, and a considerable part of Yuan Junzhang's soldiers are from Shuozhou and Yunzhou. Naturally
They will enter Daizhou and Xinzhou... This was also arranged by Li Shan before.
It is understandable that the aboriginal people reject outsiders, but after all, there is a limit. Once any changes are made and things get serious, Mayi people will definitely be suspicious. Even Daizhou and Xinzhou will inevitably have troubles.
A few years ago, Liu Wuzhou violently attacked Hedong. Pei Ji cleared the country and burned people's food, but ignored the people. A large number of people poured into Xia County and fought with the locals. Eventually, Lu Chongmao gathered people to rebel, Li Xiaoji, Dugu Huaien
, Yu Yun, Tang Jian and the marching commander Liu Shirang were all captured.
Since he made up his mind to move to Yunzhou and the people of Shuozhou, Li Shan has always been very concerned about this point, and he did not hesitate to cut off the head of the Li family of Daixian County.
The greed of the family stems from nature and cannot be eradicated. Li Shan can understand it, but again, there must be a certain degree of restraint.
However, there are few wealthy people in Daizhou, they are all country bumpkins... Li Shan did not expect that Xinzhou would be so courageous.
"Daizhou has chopped off a head, and there will be no more disputes." Li Shan looked at the Yuan clan members coldly, "It seems that Xinzhou will also chop off a few heads."
There was a commotion below, and Yuan You looked at Zhang Gongjin helplessly. He was not going to chop off my head, was he?
At this time, Fang Renyu took a few steps forward hesitantly.
"The General Manager of Xinzhou has something to say?" Li Shan raised his eyebrows. The meaning was very clear. Although I am only a long history, I am in charge of the General Manager of Daizhou. Although you are the General Manager of Xinzhou, you are my subordinate.
Fang Renyu smiled bitterly twice, leaned closer and whispered: "The Yuan family in Dingxiang and the Wang family in Taiyuan are related by marriage. The mothers of Yuanyou's wife are both daughters of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan, and Yuanyou's wife is Wang Xiaoqing's cousin."
Zhang Gongjin also came up and whispered: "He only got it by begging Wang Xiaoqing..."
Li Shan was speechless. What the hell happened to me in the end?
If it weren't for Wang Renbiao being a good friend of mine, Yuanyou might not have been recommended by Zhang Gongjin to serve as Si Tian and join the army, and the Dingxiang Yuan family might not have been so bold?
"Bullshit!" Li Shan cursed in a low voice: "If this matter is handled improperly and other places follow suit, and then wait for Yuan Junzhang's men to enter Daizhou, one bad thing will be a mutiny. Then you two will take the responsibility?!"
"Besides, this kind of thing happens to happen in the hands of someone, and in front of someone, you dare to kill someone with a knife... That's a slap in the face to me, Li Huairen!"
Without waiting for the two men to say anything else, Li Shan stepped forward and said sternly: "The year before last in Qinghe, a certain person personally beheaded the children of the Cui family in Qinghe, saying that those who kill must pay with their lives!"
Yuanyou trembled and blurted out, "Even if the death penalty is imposed, it must be reported to Dali Temple and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment..."
"You are responsible for dereliction of duty, so you should be dismissed from your post." Li Shan said calmly, "Designate the Xiang Yuan clan, and choose someone else to lead Si Tian and join the army."
Behind them, Zhang Gongjin and Fang Renyu breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the previous words, they were really afraid that the Guantao County Duke would chop off Yuanyou's head.
But then, Li Shan said sternly: "A certain person is in charge of the Prefecture General Administration. This matter not only involves civil disputes, but also undermines military and state affairs. The thirteen people captured today will all be beheaded!"
