After Lin Quan instructed, he went on a parade, and he still had to parade this patrol.

However, the result was not very ideal, and Lin Quan found that in the Xiangyun Mansion, the dark tide was really turbulent. As a defeated person, the Yiren are naturally inferior.

And those Yuren squires either became the magistrate of the county, or assisted the magistrate in managing the place, so they had power.

They have no restrictions on nobles, they can buy and sell land at will, and it is not uncommon for them to sell high and buy low.

Now there is no chaos, it is that most of the Yi people have divided the land, but a small number of people have been annexed, and this group of people, because of the grace of the imperial court, do not have to pay Ding Yin.

In the first year of Jingzheng, in order to pacify Xiangyun Mansion, the sage allowed Yiren to exempt Ding Yin.

There are only a million people in this Yi, and it is not a big problem whether to accept them, as long as they can be stable, it is also a cost-effective deal for the saints, otherwise the swords and soldiers together will not cost this amount of silver.

But it is impossible for the imperial court not to collect the silver from the people all the time, and when the time comes, these people will have no money and no way to live, so they will have no other choice but to rebel.

Lin Quan also disposed of a few inferior gentry, spit out their extra gains, and then directly asked them to cut their meat.

In this way, when he arrived in Lishui City, the magistrate had already changed to Xi Xia, and as for Xi Chun, he made up for a winter official mansion and went to Nandu on an errand.

Lin Quan came to Lishui City alone this time, and he was full of emotion in his heart, remembering the Lantern Festival that year.

But no matter how nostalgic I am, I can't go back.

Xi Xia is too mature compared to back then, with a goatee and Confucian clothes, but he has a bit of a celebrity style.

Xi Xia personally greeted Lin Quan at the gate and said to Lin Quan: "Lord Lin, the boat is tired, and it is hard work. ”

"It's not hard to do things for the saints, it's not hard, Mingfu, please inside."

Xi Xia and Lin Quan arrived in the back hall, and after the two sides bowed and sat down, Lin Quan asked Xi Xia about Yijiao.

Xi Xia told Lin Quan that he had been staring at this matter, and in the fifth year of Jingzheng, there was a kid who accepted apprentices in Lishui City, saying that he had obtained the inheritance of the Yijiao sect leader.

Lin Quan asked if this matter was true or false, Xi Xia said that he had asked Neiying to investigate, and there was indeed such a thing, this kid was inadvertently obtained by the Yijiao Sect Master in the first year of Jingzheng in the Holy Mountain.

"So how is this person's martial arts?"

"It's very difficult, Xia Guan once asked the good players in the county to test it, and no one is the enemy of one move."

When Xi Xia said this, he told Lin Quan that he had also sent officials and soldiers to arrest this person, but later the Yiren from Lishui City came to the county yamen to complain, and Xi Xia was worried about provoking a civil uprising, so he let this kid go.

Lin Quan asked how many disciples there were in the Yijiao now, and Xi Xia said that there were about 10,000 people, but this person did not oppose the imperial court, but only taught martial arts, and the magistrate could only look for an opportunity to take down this person.

"This matter can't be made big, you pay attention to yourself, have you played the court?"

"The lower official has already told Lord Futai." Xi Xia naturally didn't dare to return to the court, he knew that the prefect didn't dare to tell him, and when the time came, the court would really blame him, and the prefect would take the blame first.

Lin Quan looked at Xi Xia and said that he would tell the court, but the court would understand Xi Xia's concerns and would not embarrass Xi Xia.

This is also a polite remark, if the Yijiao did not make a big mess, the court would naturally not embarrass Xi Xia, if the Yijiao really made a mess, then Xi Xia's head and the black yarn on the top could not be saved.

Lin Quan didn't ask about it, but asked Xi Xia what else he was doing. Xi Xia said that there is no more, except for Yijiao, the people's livelihood is still happy under his rule.

Lin Quan said yes and told Xi Xia that he had seen many gentry along the way, who did not remember the benevolence of the saints, the heart of their own wealth, annexed land, and oppressed the good.

When Xi Xia heard this, he also heard the meaning of Lin Quan, and told Lin Quan that there was no such inferior gentleman, but there were some gentry who had a good relationship with him, so he didn't say much. Now that Lin Quan is here, there is still Lao Linquan to persuade him.

Lin Quan asked whose family it was, Xi Xia said that it was the Zhao family, and the problem of the Zhao family was actually not serious, and the Zhao family changed the farmers originally hired from the Yu people to the Yi people, so as to exempt the Ding tax.

His family had some money left, but it was difficult for the families of the peasants who had been laid off.

Lin Quan said that tenant farmers should not be raised until they are sixty years old, Xi Xia said that it is true that the older generation is already sixty years old, and the rest has nothing to do with the Zhao family.

Lin Quan said that he knew, and he would go to the Zhao family to talk to him.

Many people said that when Lin Quan came here in the fifth year of Chengren, they saw that Lin Quan was not a thing in the pool, and now as they expected, Lin Quan has become a very popular minister, even if the three divisions may not be as prominent as him.

Lin Quan listened quietly, and when the dancer was dancing at this time, Lin Quan saw a person with a somewhat familiar face, he thought about it, and he didn't expect that this person had seen it somewhere.

By the time the banquet was over and Lin Quan returned to his room, the dancer was already waiting for Lin Quan.

The dancer looked at Lin Quan and saluted Lin Quan, Lin Quan couldn't help asking, "You, you are"

"Slave Jin Qiaoli, Lord Lin, I don't know if I take the liberty to ask, do you know the whereabouts of Ye Fuye Shaoxia?"

When Lin Quan heard this, he looked at this Jin Qiaoli and said to her, "You are the disciple of Lady Jinhua. ”

Jin Qiaoli looked at Lin Quan in surprise, nodded, and said that she was indeed a disciple of Lady Jinhua, and asked Lin Quan how she knew.

Lin Quan sighed and told Jin Qiaoli that Ye Fu already had a wife.

Jin Qiaoli's expression was gloomy, and she muttered: "Yes, after so many years, Ye Shaoxia has such a character, and he should have already married a good relationship." ”

Lin Quan looked at Jin Qiaoli and said to Jin Qiaoli: "Life has its own fate, you can't force it, Miss Jin, you better find another wishful husband." ”

When Jin Qiaoli heard this, she sighed, and then said: "Lord Lin, the slave family is already old, what are you talking about, Lord Lin, this time the slave family asked to see him, I hope you can go to the holy mountain and meet him." ”

"I do have this idea, but I haven't had the right opportunity, you tell your sect master, I'll find a time to see him."

Jin Qiaoli nodded, and then said goodbye and left here.

The next day, Lin Quan went to visit Young Master Zhao, and now this Young Master Zhao is already Master Zhao, and the children are ten years old.

"Zhao Xiucai, see you for a long time."

"Lord Lin, you're welcome, Lord Lin, please be old."

Master Zhao's family greeted him at the door, and when they saw Lin Quan coming, they hurriedly asked Lin Quan to invite him inside.

Lin Quan entered the living room, was modest, and then took a seat.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lin Quan looked at the panicked look on Master Zhao's face, and in order to reassure this Master Zhao, he said to Master Zhao: "Zhao Xiucai, you can rest assured, this time I came here is a private matter, not a public matter." ”

"The adults are here, they are shining, to tell the truth, please understand, I, a showman, are not much different from the people of Lu Xiang, the biggest official is also an official like Xi Jingming, but what he makes up is only a small four-life official, such as an adult who is a seven-life official, a small one, I really can't think of it."

When Lin Quan heard this, he thought to himself that if this old man Zhao knew, he guessed the lantern riddle and earned him fifty taels of silver, I don't know how surprised he would be.

Lin Quan told Young Master Zhao and said to Master Zhao: "Zhao Xiucai, now that I am here in civilian clothes, I am here as a scholar, you don't need to be careful." ”

"Even if you are a scholar, the adult is also a Jinshi, a small talent, I am really scared, and I dare not be presumptuous."

Lin Quan saw that Master Zhao was so grinding and deliberately interrupted, and it was difficult to say anything, so he asked directly: "Master Zhao, I came here this time for your family's tenant farming affairs." ”

"Ah, I don't know who committed the crime, but I actually asked you to come in person. I also ask the adults to forgive their sins, and the small ones have no way to discipline them, and there is no way to discipline them. ”

Lin Quan said that it was not a matter of disciplinarianism, but a matter of Master Zhao letting him change tenant farmers.

Lin Quan took a sip of tea and said to Master Zhao: "Everyone understands this kind of thing, but Zhao Xiucai, after all, you have read the book of sages, and now even if you can't be an official, you can serve the imperial court." But even if they are far away from the rivers and lakes, they should also worry about their kings, and now these tenant farmers have no livelihood and have become homeless, idle, and making trouble everywhere, isn't it sad? ”

"My lord, my Zhao family is also a small family, I really can't afford to support so many people, if I don't raise Yi people, then these Yi people will wander around, and it will be easier to make trouble. Alas, I also obey what you said, and treat everyone equally. ”

Lin Quan saw that Master Zhao was blocking himself with his own words, and he said to Master Zhao: "In this matter, Zhao Xiucai, you are naturally not wrong, but this official hopes that you will think more about the court and the world." ”

"The small one is really weak, adult, in fact, I know that there is a person who has a way, that person's surname is He, his name is soft, the word is warm, his He family is a prominent family here, there are a lot of fields, if you are willing to come forward from Linquan people, then you can still do it again."

Hearing Master Zhao say this, Lin Quan forgot that he had asked these squires to help borrow money to buy the land, but this strategy obviously failed.

These squires waited for these people to borrow money to buy it, and then they annexed it again, and then these people owed another amount, so that the fields had not been planted, and they themselves owed a debt.

Lin Quan thought to himself, of course, these squires would like to use their own names to collect a wave of debts.

Lin Quan also has no good way, let these squires not merge, that is basically like letting dogs not eat, what the court can do is to let them merge a little slower and be warmer.

Since this old man Zhao pushed the pot on He Rou, Lin Quan had no choice but to leave and go to find He Rou.

He had a hunch that He Rou's side was not easy to deal with, and he didn't know who these people would push to in the end.
