So Li Chongjiu can’t help but wonder that although he is a traveler, it is unreasonable for local politics. Immediately find someone to ask the eye. The county is dying, the county captain is ill, and the main thin Cao is cut down by himself.
So the best thing to say in a county is that Xi Cao is the first of the six Cao’s in Cao County, ranking first in Jin, Bing, Fa and Shi. Five Cao’s are qualified to be the counselor of Li Chongjiu, the county, and ask Xi Cao if it is because he cut down his family, which makes the county and county aristocratic families misunderstand me.
West Cao Dang hurriedly replied that the Duke misunderstood the reason why the aristocratic strongmen resisted coming to the county.
It turns out that in February this year, Yang Guang listened to Pei Ji’s words that all the counties and counties built cities, and all the people moved into the fields in the dock fort of the county town nearby. With this, he lifted his eyes to implement the policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field in view of the increasingly rampant bandits, so that Wang must pull out Wei Dao, so that thieves can rob the young men and pull them.
When Li Chongjiu heard this, he scolded me. It’s really a mess to give up the vast rural areas and move the people to Yang Guang, a town dock. Is this to implement 100% urbanization in Greater China before? If the countryside is abandoned, how many fields are there near the county town to feed these tens of millions of Sui people? You know, after liberation, China was also two farmers to feed an urban population.
Yang Guang’s move not only failed to solve the causes of the civil unrest at the end of Sui Dynasty, but also made such a foolish move, which was equivalent to blindly blocking water and building dams when there was a flood, instead of dredging and guiding such a large Sui Dynasty, which was not far from death.
This is also the reason why those powerful families who live outside the city don’t visit Li Chongjiu. They are facing the imperial decree. If they look for Li Chongjiu in person, wouldn’t they be trapped?
After listening to this, Li Chongjiu didn’t take these strongmen’s families to blame, which would arouse people’s change. Yang Guang’s decree was also worse than that. When Li Chongjiu decided to move himself to keep the gate, the matter of moving people into the city was suspended.
After posting the notice, Li Chongjiu still didn’t see anyone, regardless of whether he condescended or not. He took Xi Cao to prepare to visit several nearby families one by one.
Li Chongjiu doesn’t know this move, but it makes Xicao and other county officials feel that the sun rises in the east. According to the ancient officialdom rules, the herdsmen’s officials in one county and one county are located in this square yamen with four walls and three doors, and they are not easy to go out.
The reason is that the higher the official is, the higher the official is, so that the people feel mysterious and can’t see the truth clearly. Only in this way can the fools fear Hu Fei, while Li Chongjiu is uncharacteristically learning to step on the mud like a county magistrate. Is this what a county magistrate should do? Li Chongjiu was born in a poor family and didn’t understand the rules of officialdom. He just shook his head.
The next day, Li Chongjiu traveled without pomp, and it was already in the middle of winter. The weather was cold and cloudy, and it was less than a few miles. The snow was blowing in the north wind. Xi Cao and others all tightened their clothes and persuaded Li Chongjiu to return to the county seat, but they were afraid to speak after being angry.
In the cold wind, Li Chongjiu still rode ahead. You know, the place where the county seat is located is only a few miles round. Compared with the whole flying fox county, it is just a slap in the face. If you live in the high hall, you will be blinded by petty officials. If you want to go to your hometown in person, you will listen to the local people.
Chapter one hundred and forty Micro township
The north wind blows hard, and all these people are going to back down and see Li Chongjiu’s face fall. Everyone knows that this is the official’s anger. Where can I dare to say two words? If the official is a little softer, it is possible to pinch it occasionally, but if Li Chongjiu is so strong, Feihu County will be destroyed. The Xiancheng family is so murderous that officials dare to disobey.
Gong Cao hurriedly said, "Where is the duke? The humble servants are coarse-handed and coarse-footed. They are used to this cold winter. They are not worried about the duke’s sate. In this case, the humble servants have no two words to clear the way for the duke."
Li Chongjiu nodded and was on his way only to see a line of people frowning slightly behind him.
Gong Cao saw Li Chongjiu’s face and hurriedly said, "The duke is one of our own. He has come to guard when he hears that the duke has come to make trouble."
"One of our own?" Li Chongjiu asks.
"It’s Liu Zhang, the two catchers in the yamen, who help with archers."
Finally, Li Chongjiu, the official of the Great Sui Dynasty for a few days, was a little white. After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the government abolished the expropriation system, the county commandants in Yamenli County were all appointed by the imperial official department.
However, at this level, the collectors are still recruiting from the people or the county itself. The so-called Liu Zhang’s two catching heads are between the official establishment of the imperial court and the establishment of the grandfather, which means that without formal procedures, the archers are really supernumerary personnel, and the archers are the modern police officers, and the help is almost the urban management.
Of course, as in later generations, these supernumerary personnel did not have a fixed salary by the court. It was all kinds of gray income that squeezed the people’s hard-earned income. Since ancient times, China’s official system has been so corrupted, and these people have contributed.
Li Chongjiu’s eyebrows are wrinkled. His eyes have not been so shocking since the reform of the official system. How are you going to say that his eyes are also institutional people? That’s not why he is unhappy. When he saw the shout behind him, more than 20 people bowed their heads and said, "Hou is a township to observe the people’s feelings, not to ask them to crowd around."
If we had changed the general official, Gong Cao would have said that the backcountry was unruly. We did this for the duke, but he was also white-tempered. Without saying anything, he rode back and shouted a few words to this group of people. They all showed panic and then they all retreated five or six miles after throwing their fists at Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu took five of his own Gongcao from riding a few yamen offices, so he went to the yamen office. The yamen office was staffed with outsiders just like the archers. The difference is that they beat the thugs and copied the text for six Cao, who sat in the yamen all day, while the archers helped them all day.
Li Chongjiu went to his hometown for a reason. First, he visited the local clan. Second, he urged the grain. Because of the rogue, the grain has not been collected this autumn. If the autumn grain is not collected, the soldiers in this city will be hungry.
Therefore, Li Chongjiu’s first visit was to a family named Zhao in the county. This family of Zhao in Feihu County really doesn’t know if it is the queen of Zhao Wuling, but it is also a common practice for Chinese people to cling to the lintel. This family of Zhao lives in this county, but it is different because the ancestors are a family except the official, while Zhao is a family with a large population.
You know, even after the Great Sui Dynasty unified the North and the South, the control of the imperial court over the local counties and counties in the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty was still insufficient. In those years, Emperor Wen of Sui implemented the stipulation that every great contribution (cousin) must be taxed according to the tax after analyzing the membership.
As a result, the reason for the fiercest resistance in the old Qi area is that many families live together. On weekdays, thousands of people live under the same roof, eating fields and working together, not to mention cousins, who are all living together with some blood relatives, so they can avoid taxation by the imperial court.
This is also a common occurrence in the north, such as Liu Qinghe, Zhang, Wang and Puyang, who are all powerful families. Ordinary clan settlements live in houses, and a scene of fireworks connecting nearly 10,000 rooms can be seen everywhere.
And this Zhao family is a small family of 2,000 people, although it doesn’t have to be counted. If it is a family, then Zhao family is a strongman in the county.
Li Chongjiu went deep into the mountains for two hours and saw a dock fort built in the middle of the mountain. This is the dock fort built by the Zhao family. The location of the dock fort is extremely dangerous and it is not easy to be attacked than the county seat. This time, Wang must pull out thieves to attack Xiancheng, and he has never heard of an adventurous plan to attack the Zhao family.
For such a big family, it is definitely more difficult to chew bones than the county seat. The people here are fighting to defend their homes, and everyone dares to die and is in a high position. It is very unfavorable for thieves to go to encirclement and suppression, and it has become a small peach garden in troubled times
Before Li Chongjiu came to the dock, the plains near here were all flat, and obviously the fields had been harvested. Many farmers, wrapped in soap-colored headscarves, dressed in gowns and trousers and tied with straw ropes, pushed chicken carts with grain from the mountain path into the gate of the dock. These simple mountain people woke up from time to time with their vigilant eyes swept to Li Chongjiu.
Li Chongjiu, when they came to the front of the dock fort, a dozen Zhuang Ding with guns and sticks came in.
Such a trivial matter naturally disdains to be a general’s robe and a little finger. "You, you, you are right, that is, you three hurry up and ask Zhao Wansan to go out to meet you personally and say that the county is coming."
This dozen ZhuangDing naturally surnamed Zhao was shocked when they heard each other shout their heads’ names, but look at these people all wearing long gowns. Obviously, they have status. When they dare not neglect one person’s confession, they will leave when they get back.
Looking at this pair of dog fights, the power of the fox is not good, but Li Chongjiu not only didn’t stop drinking, but also secretly praised it from the bottom of his heart. This is the momentum of the person.
Aside Gongcao said to Li Chongjiu, "The duke seems to be urging food for such a small matter. Just send an office and two helpers. It’s really hard for the duke to travel by boat."
Li Chongjiu laughed. "It’s a trivial matter to urge food. I’m here to observe the people’s feelings. If it’s something, you don’t have to quote me."
Gong Cao took a look at Li Chongjiu, but it was also a deep expression. He told me to say, "It is good for you to do such a small thing as urging food. The duke came to observe the people’s feelings and visit privately for a while. You can’t quote us the title."
Chapter one hundred and forty-nine Sinus Niang
After this drink, there was still no one coming out of the gate for a long time. When the other party couldn’t help but hang up and urged a few words at the door, several Zhuangding were perfunctory and respectful, and they were not invited to go in to avoid the snow.
At this moment, Gong Cao couldn’t help but sell his face in person. At last, several people came out to meet him at the dock gate. I heard that the greeting person from the other side was not the patriarch, and Gong Cao was even more furious and gave an expression of eyes to the office. This meant to show the Zhao family a good look.
The place to welcome guests is the ancestral hall, so all the ethnic groups in the north have the genealogy of repairing families.
Zhao Guzhang is an old man of about 50 years old, who is obviously an accident-prone person. He brought Li Jiujiu and them to deal with the casein. Naturally, he held his breath and said, "Zhao Zongchang, you should pay autumn grain this year in Chehe Township. There are a total of 615 stones. If you can’t pay them at one time, you can pay half of the remaining years before the spring according to the usual practice. In addition, the court raised rural courage to wipe out the thieves. There are a total of 154 people in Chehe Township according to each levy. This can not be wrong."
Chief Zhao stared at it with cold eyes for a long time and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Where does the autumn grain come from? The king of autumn grain must pull it out. Is there any surplus grain in this valley county?"
Do cold hum a word, "Zhao Dangchang, don’t open your eyes and tell lies. What is it that I just saw a truckload of food outside?"
"This is what we Zhao people expect to give you for winter preparedness. What do we eat?" Zhao clan rudely said
I heard that Li Chongjiu’s kung fu was surprised that the other party didn’t give him the slightest face to face. It was obvious that the kung fu was going to tear his face. He hurriedly coughed and gestured that he couldn’t do it any more. The people in the yamen were all djinn-made. When he saw the instructions of the kung fu, he said, "The autumn grain is temporarily suspended, so the rural brave is a civil Zhao clan leader who can’t shirk it."
Zhao patriarch stretched out his fingers and clasped them. At this moment, footsteps rang out from the corridor next to the ancestral hall. A female voice said, "Xiangyong can’t give it to you." Doing kung fu was furious and turned to see the other woman. But at the age of 16 or 17, although she was a coarse cloth Jingchai, she was beautiful in appearance and her hand was full of heroic spirit with a horizontal knife.
"You are a person incredibly dare so presumptuous! Party chief Zhao, I want you to hand this person over to the officer. "
Chief Zhao looked at each other without saying a word. "How did you get out?"
The other party fuels and says, "naturally, it is to help your uncle make a decision."
Listening to the other party’s saying that it was still confusing, but Gong Cao fluttered and sat down on the Hu bed again. Everyone heard that the ancestral hall was faint and heard a lot of footsteps. Chief Zhao angrily said to the woman, "Are you forcing me?"
The woman fuels, saying, "Uncle San, the official forces the people to rebel against this court. If it is not as good as being obedient to the people one day, it is better to give up this broken house and let’s go to Gaojibo to do justice for heaven."
Do when your legs are soft and your fingers are pointing at the dialect, "High chicken coop! You are a gang of anti-thieves in Dou Jiande, Gaokai Road! "
