"You want to kill me, I know, you just want to kill me. There are many thieves in Liangshanbo, and your subordinates are busy suppressing the bandits. The old supervisor was actually thrown into Xunyang City...
I live in a guest house, and there will be rustling of leaves at night..."
Yun Zheng said impatiently: "Are you afraid of the wind blowing the leaves?"
"There are always people walking around on the roof..."
"That's a cat walking around. Are you done with your restlessness?"
"Is it my imagination that the snake fell from the rafters into my tent?"
"Maybe it's a housekeeper snake. I have a housekeeper snake in my hometown. It's so fat that it often falls off the beams..."
"Your hometown is in the middle of Sichuan! There is a custom of raising snakes there. I went to Shandong..." Li Chang lost his composure at the beginning, and his voice became shriller and louder, and by the end he was almost in tears.
, I think he was a Confucian scholar who was pampered by his family since he was a child. He experienced horrible things when he was thirty or forty years old. But after staying in Xunyang for a few days, he encountered everything. He would be torn apart by vicious dogs when he walked on the street.
bite.
Yun Zheng lay on the table and said lazily: "Didn't His Majesty send you a bodyguard? They are all experts and will ensure that you are safe and sound. Besides, I am not stupid. I know clearly that you are sent by His Majesty to monitor you."
My man, what shall I say to Your Majesty if I kill you? Be smart."
Yun Zheng completely lost patience with this extremely suspicious person.
"The best soldiers in the world are either from you or from Di Qing's sect, and your Majesty's bodyguards are not as good as your arrogant generals who crawled out of the dead. They can't stop them.
I know very well that you won’t kill me. If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago. You just want to drive me crazy!”
Yun Zheng looked at the two guards, whose faces were red with anger, and then at Li Chang. He came over and wanted to pat Li Chang on the shoulder to comfort this guy. Unexpectedly, Li Chang swooped behind the guards.
Withdrawing his hand that was stretched out in the air, Yun Zheng rapped his knuckles on the table and said, "Can you give us colleagues some face? Yes, you are right. I can beat you because after beating you
The most I can do is fine you a small amount of money. I don’t care if the Yun family has a lot of money. I’ll spend money to express my anger. But what kind of nature do you have to kill you? Then what the hell is rebellion? My whole family, old and young, are all in Tokyo. You have eighty lives.
It's not important to my dog, why should I kill you?
Since you are supervising the army, you can honestly supervise the army and get some money from them. As long as it is not excessive, it is what you deserve. I will honestly give orders in Tokyo, and you have to be responsible for my general orders.
All those murderous talents must be brought to bear on me.
Go to Xunyang and Xianyuan County with confidence. The Kong family still needs you to persuade them. After all, the Kong family has the most land. Only by convincing the Kong family can we get more land for the Xiang army.
Streamlining the Xiang army is a national policy formulated by His Majesty himself. We cannot ignore it. Once this is done, it will be easy for you to get promoted and make a fortune. As a result, I will not have any chance of promotion in twenty or thirty years. Don’t these things not matter?
Is it worth your life to gamble?"
Li Chang poked his head out from behind the guard and said, "You really didn't tease me?"
Yun Zheng replied irritably: "Now the top priority is to put all our efforts into positioning the Xiang army. Who has time to scare you? To scare you is very simple. Just taking you to the battlefield is enough. That is the real terror!"
"
Li Chang came out from behind the guard and cupped his hands and said: "Well, let's make an agreement first. You will ignore you when you go to the Kong family's house, so I will go to the Kong family. The fields there in Liangshanbo are indeed fertile. I will find a way to get more for the Xiang army."
A little, but can you..."
"Don't even think about it. The land there is not for sale. You can get some money. The land there is not allowed to lose even a penny. Just keep an eye on me. If I, Yun Zheng, enclose as much as you want for me, you can double it.
I take all the blame for it. If I didn't do it, if you dare to reach out and take it, don't blame me for chopping off your hands and feet!"
The mouths of the two guards were twisted. These two were discussing the division of the spoils in front of them. Aren't they afraid that they would report it to the emperor? But if these two were willing to pay some money, they would certainly not talk much. Since the two of them
Having said that, of course I will get rich soon...
Li Chang received Yun Zheng's assurance and finally regained some energy. He planned to go back and take a nap before returning to Liangshanbo to supervise the army. He came back this time under the guise of seeing a doctor and could not stay long.
As soon as Li Chang left, the monkey stepped forward with a smile and said: "Master, this guy is really timid!"
Yun Zheng slapped the monkey on the head and said angrily: "Can you grow some snacks? Whose snake would crawl into a house in the downtown area of Xunyang? Get some centipedes. Throwing centipedes in there is no better than throwing in a snake.
How about going down?"
The monkey said with a bitter face: "The snakes they threw had their fangs pulled out. Centipedes and centipedes are hard to find... But young master, if you don't like him, just kill him. Why do you want to scare him?"
ah?"
"You know what the heck, this is called showing off one's power. If we don't train him, this guy will hold us back when we go to the battlefield in the future..."
After driving away the monkey, Yun Zheng reopened the file and continued to review and approve it. The three doctors in the Ministry of War finally behaved themselves a little after being beaten by him. No matter who was stared at a cup of tea with Yun Zheng's awl-like eyes, he would not be calm.
Yes, scholars hate the use of force the most, but the officer in front of him is the one who likes it the most. In order not to suffer the immediate disadvantages, he has to put his tail between his legs and behave like a good man. Therefore, the things Yun Zheng is reviewing now are considered very normal documents, and he will never do it.
Is there any trivial thing to bother him with?
Su Xun went to Xunyang, Yun'er, Su Shi, and Su Che also went to Liangshanbo under the pretext of traveling thousands of miles to see if Liangshanbo was suitable for military settlement. After all, there were too many saline-alkali lands in Shandong.
The sky is extremely overcast today, with black clouds hanging over the city of Tokyo, but not a drop of rain has fallen all day long. It stands to reason that such weather would be much cooler, but without wind, the entire city of Tokyo is as hot as a steamer.
Uncomfortable.
This is the little free time that God has given to those farmers. The wheat in the fields is at the end of the harvest season. If it is hit by rain, the wheat grains will fall into the fields and the year's harvest will be in vain.
The Xiang Army and the Forbidden Army in Tokyo City were dispatched almost empty-handed. They all went to the surrounding farmland to help the people fight for food. This time, just like the beginning of spring, it was the emperor and the queen who took the lead to go to the farmland. The last time the emperor carried water.
Regardless of whether it was stupid or not, it still won a very high reputation for the royal family. This summer harvest, the emperor continued to do it without any teacher, and he was planning to make it a permanent practice.
Yun Zheng and his wife were cutting wheat in the field. God knows if they would be struck by lightning if they did this. More wheat fell on the ground than in their hands, and the nurse had to work hard to pick it up with her daughter behind...
Ge Qiuyan couldn't bend down at all with her bulging belly, so she was playing with scissors cutting wheat ears. Lu Qingqing was also pregnant with a child, but she didn't have Ge Qiuyan's good luck. As a soldier, she had to lead the way.
"In the spring, we have to hunt spring oxen, we have to worship Shen Nong, we have to ask the Dragon King when there is no water, and now we have to harvest wheat. I, the Marquis, have suffered a huge loss. The most ridiculous thing is that what we harvest is not our own wheat, but our own wheat.
It's from Huangzhuang, why do you think the emperor tortures people?"
Yun Zheng took off his coat, folded it and spread it on the ground. He asked Lu Qingqing to sit down and rest for a while. He gritted his teeth and continued to cut with his arms bare. The wheat in an acre of land must be cut today. This is Zhao Zhenxia
Yun Zheng had never heard of Wang Anshi’s reform including this bastard order, saying it was part of the New Deal.
Shi Zhongxin was very proud that his land was right next to Yun Zheng, but this bastard was very relaxed and imitated Yun Zheng, holding a purple sand teapot and sitting on the ridge to drink tea, while supervising him at the same time.
Wives all over the mountains and plains are harvesting wheat.
Lu Qingqing looked at Shi Zhongxin's hundreds of wives, and then at his own pregnant woman, but couldn't say a word.
When Yun Zheng came to the end of cutting the land, Shi Zhongxin followed Yun Zheng with a face filled with laughter and gossiped: "Marquis Yun, hahaha, it is good to have many wives. Your Majesty wants us to get to know the farmers and appreciate the sufferings of the people.
That’s right, these women in the family are well-dressed and well-fed all day long and don’t do any serious work. They only know how to scheme one by one all day long. Now they finally have a place to use. Haha, it’s just an acre of land. One person can pull out a handful of wheat.
It’s solved. I heard that autumn sowing will be done after the summer harvest. Can you and two pregnant women take care of it?"
Yun Zheng threw down the sickle angrily, looked at the clouds in the sky and said to Shi Zhongxin: "Your wheat has been harvested. Madam-in-law does not dare to offend. Give me your concubine for 100 yuan. I will use it soon."
Give it back to you!"
Shi Zhongxin laughed so hard that he waved to his concubines and shouted: "Marquis Yun wants to lend you a hand. This is a matter of honor for the old Shi family. Come here quickly!"
A group of Yingying Yanyan rushed over. Although they did not dare to make a move, they all looked at Yun Zheng's naked chest with blazing eyes. They laughed and helped Yun Zheng cut the wheat. One person helped Yun Zheng cut off a piece of wheat as big as a palm.
The Yun family's wheat harvest has also been finished.
Lu Qingqing put on her husband's coat angrily. She was worthy of being Mrs. Gaoming. As soon as her phoenix eyes rolled around, those women lost their voices. Seeing that these women still knew what was good for them, she changed her face and said with a smile: "There is a new member of the Yun family.
It's best to batch beads and make them into jewelry. I'll send them to my sisters tomorrow."
The group of women also knew what was going on. They thanked Lu Qingqing for the reward with smiling faces and returned to the Shi family's fields.
Shi Zhongxin said to Yun Zheng with a smile: "Little Sixteen and Twenty-Seven are both very good, don't you plan to stay and use them? My sister-in-law and my concubine are both pregnant. It's a good opportunity. The jealous woman doesn't want to be jealous at this time.
Dare to make conditions."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Qingqing's almond-shaped eyes and immediately ran away holding the teapot.
Yun Zheng smashed his mouth and said to Lu Qingqing: "You scared people away..." (To be continued)
