Chapter 203: Leisure
After dinner, Liu Han came to the courtyard to announce the end of the training, and two days later, the seven of them will be sent to Gu Wei and Master Gu to do things, and the specific work will be arranged by Lord Gu.
This expected announcement still made the trainees excited, when Liu Han was there, he was still reservedly suppressed, and after Liu Han left, everyone immediately became excited, a kind of excitement that the sky will descend on the big task, and they chatted together.
Shi Kai and the four of them also joined in, chatting with everyone, and at dinner, Liu Han specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone, and he and Mo Qi personally came to toast everyone and encouraged everyone to serve the court at the banquet.
After Liu Han Moqi left, Shi Kailongzheng helped the drunk into the room, and coincidentally, none of the four of them who stayed in Yangzhou Mansion were drunk.
Shi Kai made tea, and the four of them drank tea and chatted in the courtyard.
After chatting for a while, Long Zheng said: "I think the teacher is not too cautious, I see that the ambition of innovation is very strong, where he ascended the throne, he sent Peng Zhu Peng Daren to Chen State to check the land, and then checked Du Zhi Cao, and sent Lord Ju and Lord Gu to Yangzhou to reform the salt tax, the court weather is new, but why is the teacher so cautious." ”
The implication in Long Zheng's words was that Liu Han did not trust the emperor and was pessimistic about the prospects of the new tax system.
To say that in this era, speech is still very free, you can comment on the affairs of the world and the people of the world at will, the emperor is often evaluated and discussed, and it is not a sin to not believe in the emperor.
However, as a protégé, Long Zheng accused Liu Han of not believing in the emperor, which is not a good thing, after all, it is not a sin not to believe in the emperor, but it may affect his career.
"This is where adults are cautious. Luxi said cautiously, his identity is different, he is not only an errand in Yangzhou Mansion, but also an internal guard, and has the responsibility of collecting intelligence.
"The sea is difficult and dangerous, so it's better to be cautious. Ma Ye said lightly and took a sip of water: "I don't think there is anything wrong with the teacher like this, it's better to be cautious." ”
Long Zheng's first sentence was opposed by the two, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, Shi Kai said: "I also think that the teacher is not too cautious, when it is gloomy today, my generation should take this opportunity to clear the sky, for the court, for the people of the world, to sweep away the haze." ”
"It's right to sweep away the haze," Ma Ye reminded: "But we also have to think of the difficulties, now, Yangzhou is knife to knife, gun to gun, Gu Da has impeached Sheng Huai several times, but Sheng Huai is standing, and the problems in this are worth pondering." ”
"What Brother Minghui said is," Shi Kai nodded, but his tone changed: "But if we look forward and backward and are timid, resulting in the failure of the new tax system, we will not live up to the expectations of the imperial court and the expectations of the teacher." ”
"That's right," Long Zheng interjected: "This governance is to be vigorous and resolute, destroy the withering and decaying, and sweep away those snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions." ”
Ma Ye couldn't help but smile and shook his head slightly: "Things in this world are so easy, if it were so easy, the new tax system would have been successful a long time ago." ”
"Yes, Zitai thinks too simply," Shi Kai said, he paid more attention to Luxi, Luxi arrived before them, but he was only a thief Cao, the lowest rank among the four, however, the thief Cao was responsible for hunting down and chasing thieves, and it was not possible to do this position without a little martial arts, this Luxi seems to be the same as Ma Ye, he is a dual cultivation of civil and military, but I don't know how he compares with Ma Ye.
"Didn't the teacher say that every social change has beneficiaries and victims, and the beneficiaries of the new tax system are the court and the people, and the victims are the gatekeeper tycoons, and with the power of the gatekeeper tycoons, they will definitely secretly obstruct them. ”
"I believe this," Long Zheng argued, "that's why we need to use thunderous means to deter them." ”
"In my opinion, the implementation of the new tax system is more important than a stable word," Ma Ye felt his mouth dry and couldn't stop drinking water.
Lu Xi didn't speak again after saying a word, he always remembered Liu Han's instructions, talk less and listen more, but he couldn't be too silent.
"I also think that the teacher means a stable word," he pondered, "In fact, the new tax system is a new thing for the imperial court, and it is also a new thing for the people, and there will be problems in the specific implementation." ”
"This is very true," Shi Kai nodded and said: "The new tax system is a new thing, and stability is the main thing in its implementation, and the court is probably most worried about something happening now. ”
"Brother Minghui, what are the chances of winning this battle against the imperial court?" Long Zheng asked curiously, looking at Ma Ye.
Ma Ye was silent for a while, and his expression was a little solemn: "The outcome is unpredictable, my Dajin is fighting quickly, if the Hu people are far away from the desert and delay the war, my Dajin will be in trouble." On the contrary, if the Hu people are strong and fight against my Great Jin, I think that my Great Jin has a seventy percent chance of winning. ”
Chatting, slowly deviating from the new tax system, to Saiwai and Liangzhou, Liangzhou repelled the Tubo people, and proclaimed a great victory to the imperial court, but in fact it was only a small victory, and the invasion of Tubo was just a temptation.
Chatting and chatting, a few people suddenly felt that it was a pity that they didn't go to the Qinglou, and now they went again, and they felt that it was too late, so the topic naturally turned to Fenghua Xueyue.
The next day, the people in the training institute went to Yingxiao, Shi Kailongzheng and the four of them went to the government with their luggage, Mo Qi would arrange their accommodation, and the others went to Gu Wei in Hucheng County under the escort of Hu Benwei and the county soldiers.
Liu Han finally had some free time, and now he was not worried about Xingyuan's safety at all, and he put on a posture that he believed that no one in Yangzhou would be stupid to come and assassinate him.
So, Liu Han went to Taobao Villa to take a look, and the main project of the villa has been completed, especially the pavilions and trees and bamboo forests on the mountainside and the top of the mountain, which have been completed.
On the mountainside, Liu Hanbu set up a chain of lost traces, this formation has no power to hurt people, just confused, those who don't know this formation, they can't get out when they enter the formation.
At the top of the mountain, at the request of Liu Han, Qingling laid down a small seven love array, this is a phantom array, mainly to hide the entrance of the cave, if someone breaks the chain of maze on the mountainside, to the top of the mountain, then fall into this small seven love array, fascinated by the lake and mountains, unable to extricate themselves.
When Liu Han went, Liu Tie was not there. When the trainees arrived in Hucheng, they only sent five tiger guards and ten county soldiers to escort them on the surface, but secretly, Liu Han also sent Liu Tie to escort them.
Although he didn't think that these gate lords in Yangzhou would be stupid enough to kill these scholars, out of caution, he still sent Liu Tie to escort them.
The main building yard in the front yard and the middle yard has been completed, and the lake pond is being dug in the backyard, and the water is being brought in from the outside.
In fact, all the projects are only ninety percent completed, and the remaining one percent still needs to be arranged by him personally.
After watching Taobao Villa all day, it was getting late before he left.
Galloping all the way, paying attention everywhere, no one followed. He ran through the bamboo forest to the south of the city, and when it was almost dark, he came to the outside of a small village.
The smoke lingered in the village, and his sensitive six senses smelled the faint aroma of food, and quietly walked into the small village, sparing two small courtyards, and he stood behind one of them, and there were three people eating inside.
Take a look around, walk slowly to the door, don't knock on the door, push the door and go in.
When the three people in the house saw him come in, they were stunned at first, Sister-in-law Song hurriedly got up, and Xiuniang and Zhen'er hurriedly got up.
Sister-in-law Song and Niu Fu went to Wu County for a few months, shouldering the responsibility of rectifying the internal guards of Wu County, and then, Liu Han ordered Niu Fu to change his appearance, stay in Wu County, and become the head of the internal guards of Wu County.
"Sit down, and give me some too. Liu Han sat at the table and commanded unceremoniously.
Sister-in-law Song hurriedly asked Xiuniang to bring him a bowl of rice, the rice was pumpkin rice, and the dish was very simple, one fish, two seasonal vegetables.
"I didn't know if the adults were coming, I..."
"Okay, sit down and eat," Liu Han said with a smile: "Actually, I robbed your food, since it was robbing, then you can't dislike it, otherwise it will be too domineering." ”
Zhen'er sneered, Xiuniang also pursed her lips, and Sister-in-law Song smiled, and didn't mind anymore, beckoning the two daughters to sit down.
Liu Han didn't eat much, in fact, with his cultivation, he didn't eat or drink for a few days, and there was no problem at all, but he ate very slowly, and the pumpkin rice was very fragrant and sweet.
After eating, Liu Han put down the bowl, and Sister-in-law Song hurriedly followed and put down the bowl and wanted to get up.
"You eat yours, the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, eat first, it's not a big deal. ”
Liu Han knew that when he first arrived, he scared the mother and daughter a lot, leaving a lot of shadows in their hearts.
Liu Han looked at this room, the furnishings of this room are very simple, except that the bed is wooden, the wardrobe, dining table, and chairs are all made of bamboo, which looks very rustic and poor.
Although Liu Han behaved very gently, Sister-in-law Song still didn't dare to slack off, and after eating a few times, she put down the bowl and came to Liu Han's side.
The two of them entered the inner room, Sister-in-law Song carefully lowered the curtain, Zhen'er pursed her lips and glared at the inside dissatisfied, Xiuniang sighed softly and lowered her head to eat.
"You can see that you're having a hard time. Liu Han looked at the room and sighed softly.
Sister-in-law Song didn't speak, just smiled bitterly, the internal guard is not rich, the salary was set hundreds of years ago, the imperial treasury has been empty in recent years, and if she wants to raise her salary, there is no door.
"I wrote a report to the palace, hoping to increase everyone's salary. Liu Han sighed: "However, I estimate that even if the salary is raised, it will be a drop in the bucket." ”
"My lord can be so sympathetic to my subordinates, and my subordinates are already very grateful, alas, for so many years, only my lord has talked about raising salaries for his subordinates. Sister-in-law Song was very grateful, although she also knew in her heart that it was difficult to say whether this would happen or not.
"I came here today to ask you something," Liu Han turned to look at her with a solemn expression: "The rectification of Yangzhou's internal guards has come to an end, what are your plans?"
Sister-in-law Song didn't understand, and looked at Liu Han in confusion, Liu Han sighed when she saw this: "I mean, you now have a chance to break away from the internal guard and start a new life with a new identity, of course, if you are willing to stay, then it's no problem." ”
Sister-in-law Song was very frightened, she didn't know what she had done wrong, poofed, knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my subordinates, my subordinates ,..."
As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Zhen'er rushed in from the outside, and shouted at Liu Han: "What mistake did my mother make, you have to kill her, don't rely on your cultivation to be high, the official will bully people!"
Xiuniang also rushed in, knelt behind Sister-in-law Song, and sobbed: "My lord, even if we want to die, let us die clearly." ”
Liu Han couldn't cry or laugh, he was rarely kind, but he was misunderstood, the fierce reputation of this internal guard is not only afraid of outsiders, but even his own people.
"Anything dead or alive, get up, it's rare for you to be kind, don't force me to change my mind. Liu Han frowned and said.
Sister-in-law Song was greatly surprised, and looked at Xiuniang face to face, both seeing the surprise and loss in each other's eyes.
After working as an internal guard for such a long time, Sister-in-law Song has no savings, if they leave the internal guard, what can they do?
"Get up," Liu Han sighed: "Now I still have some power in my hands, and when I don't have this power, even if I want to help you, I can't help you, I mean, you make a decision as soon as possible." ”
The mother and daughter were completely relieved, and Sister-in-law Song kowtowed to Liu Han, got up and said, "Thank you, sir, let our mother and daughter discuss." ”
Liu Han nodded: "That's it, you discuss, I'll come over again in a few days." ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
Sister-in-law Song gratefully sent Liu Han out, and when she arrived at the door, Liu Han stopped letting them send it, and after he went out, he quickly unfolded his body and soon left the village.
Letting Song's sister-in-law, mother and daughter leave, it was not a whim, but the result of thinking for many days.
There is no doubt that the identities of Song's sister-in-law and daughter have been leaked, although it is the Baigongfang that infiltrates the internal guard, but who else is behind the Baigong? He doesn't know, so Song's sister-in-law and daughter are no longer suitable to work in Yangzhou.
Therefore, either transfer the mother and daughter out of Yangzhou, or let them go.
After thinking about it, Liu Han decided to let them go, of course, the sympathy factor played an important role in this.
The mother and daughter of the Song family were too miserable.
When he arrived at the city gate, the city gate was closed, and Liu Han now had an identity, called out the soldiers, opened the city gate, and rode his horse into the city.
He did not go back to Qin, but quietly went to the Gu Mansion, mixed in the mansion for a night, and enjoyed the warmth of Zhu Niang and Mei Niang.
During this time, he was on a mission in Qin, Zhu Niang Mei Niang was nervous, I didn't know if he was still in Yangzhou, seeing him suddenly came, the two girls were naturally overjoyed, and they were romantic.
Liu Han's internal breath is already masculine, he hasn't vented these days, he has long been interested, this night, the two girls were tossed so much that they almost fell apart, and in the end they couldn't even move a finger.
