Chapter 257: A Mysterious Woman

The exchange of letters can be regarded as a sign of status. The courtiers wrote letters to the emperor, which were generally called cantatas. In other words, the work report will be opened and watched by the bigwigs of the three provinces, and then it will be sent to the emperor's desk after being instructed. Then it is a matter of wiping the butt with the table legs or sending it to the incinerator.

There are not many people who are qualified to write private letters to the emperor, and Yun Hao happens to be one of them. This not only represents favor, but also represents identity.

For this proposition essay, Yun Hao thought about it for a long time. In fact, the affairs in Jiangnan and the civil uprising in Shu are actually the result of Li Er's wealth to the people. Whether it is Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui's eldest grandson Wuji, they are the result of playing the actual operator. Although in the long run, this is more beneficial to the empire. But the people would not understand the pain of the country, and they only knew that the tax collectors would rob them of their rations and everything they had at home.

“…… The villagers regard the tax collectors as tigers and wolves, and the officials and soldiers as enemies! Treat thieves as relatives! Every time the officers and soldiers enter and suppress, those who run to tell each other do not know how complicated. Or there are many people who help each other, which is a disaster of unbearable taxes.

The people are like water, and the society is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Your Majesty is the one who operates the boat, and he will do the right thing when he responds to the situation. After Yun Hao finished writing, he read it carefully three times. Can't say anything more serious! The emperor is like a tiger, swatting flies on the tiger's head, and using too much force will cause problems.

Ling Jing's efficiency was very high, and he made a sand table with Wang Zhe in just five days. And according to the sand table, the map was depicted. Although in Yun Hao's view, these maps and sand tables are very inaccurate, and can only be called rudimentary. But this has been made with the help of the boat boss who has been running Dongting Lake for many years, and even former and active water bandits.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was no movement to enclose the lake and make fields in Dongting Lake. Eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake is definitely an inaccurate statement, according to the description of those boat bosses, counting the area of the floodway is more than a thousand miles.

Yunmengze is another name for Dongting Lake, and from this name you can know how much water vapor there is. Dongting Lake during the Tang Dynasty did not match the four words of the land of fish and rice at all. Although due to the climate, the rice grown can be harvested twice a year. But the taste of rice in Jiangnan is really poor, and dogs who are never picky eaters don't want to eat it. Eating in your mouth is like eating wood!

Wu Mei beside him didn't want to eat it, but as soon as he complained, he was slapped by the dog. Then the empress could only lower her head and continue to eat, and the dog silently sandwiched a chicken leg and put it into Wu Mei's bowl.

The dog's understanding of women is very peculiar, property! That's right, he is that Wu Mei as his property. It's okay to beat and scold yourself, but it's okay for others to laugh at a few words. Not even the vicious sea! Yun Hao has seen dogs clashing with others for Wu Mei more than once.

Others bully Wu Mei, and dogs will beat others. Wu Mei bullied people, but the dog still went back to beat the person. It's just that after beating the opponent, he will continue to beat Wu Mei when he goes home. And this dog thing never hits Wu Mei's face, and usually attacks the back of the head and buttocks. It is estimated that he was influenced by Yun Hao, and Yun Hao once told the dog. Women can't be too smart, and when they meet someone who is too smart, they will be beaten stupidly and dragged home to ensure a harmonious life.

The dog obviously listened, and according to the strength with which he pumped the back of Wu Mei's head, he definitely wanted to make the beautiful Wu Mei a fool.

Wu Mei has struggled, after experiencing struggle, being beaten, fighting again, and being beaten again. Yun Hao was surprised to find that Wu Mei had the intention of giving up. Now when you are slapped by a dog, you will not jump like a cat with its tail stepped on, but try to resolve disputes in a peaceful way. Dogs also have the potential to move hamsters, and when they encounter good things outside, they have the urge to get them at home.

Yun Hao observed for a long time and felt that he had found the true meaning of building a harmonious society!

For such a strange creature as a woman, many wise people are trying to understand it. From ancient times to the present, countless people with lofty ideals have failed to explain this species from the moral level and the analysis of human nature. Yun Hao felt that since he couldn't understand it, he didn't need to understand it.

The dog's method is very good, maybe this is Wu Mei's best destination. Who dares to say that Wu Mei, who is the empress, must be happier than being a dog's daughter-in-law?

A lot of times, the way things are solved is just outrageously simple. If you are obedient, you will give carrots, and if you are disobedient, you will serve with a big stick. Yun Hao felt that the things in Dongting Lake seemed to be able to be solved in this way.

Wang Zhe held a stack of letterhead in his hand and felt that this young grandfather was crazy. You count on a letter to make these murderous bandits unblinking. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?

"Grandpa! This...... Can it be done? Ling Jing also felt that his own boss was a little taken for granted.

"Writing a letter doesn't kill people, you have to try if it doesn't work out. Maybe there's a windfall! Yun Hao waved his hand, in fact, he only thought it was a temptation in his heart. If those water bandits really want to surrender, Yun Hao will have to weigh it too. Now that the army has not yet arrived, do you really have the strength to control them? Don't look back, Yuezhou City has let the family take it. That's a big joke!

Ling Jing looked at Wang Zhe, who had no choice but to go out with a letterhead. Yun Hao is right, writing a letter will not kill people. The relationship between his housekeeper and the water bandit is okay, and he shouldn't be beheaded.

Sure enough, the housekeeper of Wang Zhe's family took Yun Hao's letterhead and left happily. In less than two days, he returned to Yuezhou City. His face was flushed, and he looked like he was being served with wine and meat in the water bandit cottage.

The Water Dragon King actually replied, which Yun Hao did not expect. Yunhao believes that good communication is a good way to solve problems.

Of course, the content of the reply letter will definitely not be that I have grabbed enough, decided to put down the butcher's knife, return to the government, and go home to farm. I just repeatedly emphasized my last resort and my remorse, hoping that the government would understand. In a word, in view of the bad year, Lao Tzu has to grab a few more years.

After Ling Jing finished reading it, he shook his hands helplessly. It is clear that this is the beginning of mutual deception, and there is no real meaning of reconciliation between them. It was just a pastime for the commanders of both sides before the start of the war.

Yun Hao read the letter for a long time, thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "This letter is a little strange! ”

Ling Jing and Wang Zhe took the reply from Zhang Shisan, the Water Dragon King, and looked at it for a long time, and their eyes were almost seeing the mosquito coil circle, and they didn't see the reason.

"Grandpa! This letter is formatted in a proper and polite ......! Nothing seems to be a problem! ”

"It's here!" Yun Hao said with a smile.

“……!” Ling Jing and Wang Zhe still don't understand.

"It's too standardized, it's too polite!"

The two suddenly realized!

Although it is not excluded that there are individual cases of forcing into Dongting Lake, they are willing to go to the sea and dare to be water bandits. Basically, there will be no learned people, and the level of education of these bandits will be. Wang Zhe has a relatively strong voice, and less than 10% of the people are semi-literate. The rest are all fucking illiterate.

This letter is indeed a strange thing at first sight, just the two brushes of the Water Dragon King Zhang Shisan. Wang Zhe still knows psychologically, this kind of high-level official document, even if it is copied, it can be copied wrongly, let alone create independently. So behind this article, there must be a capable gunman. And such an important exchange of official documents, Zhang Shisan can be safely handed over to this gunman to handle, which shows that this person's status must be extraordinary.

"There must be well-educated people in the water bandit cottage!" Ling Jing came to a terrifying conclusion.

If you are not afraid of cultured hooligans, you are afraid that hooligans are cultured. This sentence is not to say, a group of fierce bandits are mixed together. No matter how cruel they are, how good they are at smashing and robbing. But they all belong to the rabble, and the generals in the court always have a cultural advantage over them. Moreover, the generals can turn this advantage into victory by all sorts of intrigues.

Now it's different, and a clever mind has emerged from the rabble. It's like a herd of rhinos led by monkeys. They have enough destructive power, and if they have a smart brain, ...... consequences.

"Do you know this man?" Yun Hao looked at Wang Zhe, who was carefully studying the letterhead, and asked.

"There doesn't seem to be such a person, at least the villain doesn't know. But...... This letter ......! Wang Zhe said with some words in mind.

"What's wrong with the letter?"

Yun Hao took the letter and read it carefully!

"The format of this letter is true, but you can read it. Isn't it a little showy! Wang Zhe pointed to the words on the letter and said.

"Words? You mean that it was a woman who wrote this letter? Yun Hao raised his head, looked at Wang Zhe in a daze, and said.

"Quite possibly!"

"Women?"

A learned woman suddenly appeared in the water bandit cottage, it was too sudden. The enigmatic woman made the three people in the study speechless.

In winter, the water in Dongting Lake is not as abundant as in summer, but the wind and waves seem to be much stronger than usual. There were very few cargo ships of all kinds passing by, and there was no one to rob, and the hard life of the bandits began.

However, there are always some unwillingness, and they will wander around the rich Yueyang City. If you have something, you can rob something, and if you don't have something, it's good to tie up a ticket. Anyway, according to the principle that thieves do not go empty, they must not return to the cottage empty-handed.

Zhang Shisan leisurely inspected his water village, since Zhang Zhongjian came with the Japanese people. Their water village has become the largest force in Dongting Lake, and they have been operating grain and grass for many years. Zhang Shisan, who is in the rising stage of his career, is naturally very proud.

Two big men carried two children tied like zongzi into the water village!

"Gui five, Ma six! You two boys, whose children are you robbing again! Zhang 13 asked with a smile.

"Yo! Big boss! These two children were kidnapped from Yueyang City, and I heard that they were the children of merchants who came from the north. This time, I can't say I want to make a profit! The man named Gui Wu said with a fist.

"Not bad! Not bad! Zhang 13 praised the two subordinates who were ready to continue to inspect the water village, and suddenly saw two children. My heart moves!

"The two children went to Madame, and this morning they said they were looking for a maid. Coco's is here, you two brothers went to the account room to get two pieces of money, and I Zhang Thirteen didn't let you run away in vain. Zhang 13 walked up to him and looked at the two children carefully. The little boy was older, probably twelve or thirteen years old. The little girl is only eight or nine years old, and she is handsome, and she looks like a little beauty.
