The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

"Sir, a letter from Shanyang County!"

"bring here!"

Xiao Qi took the letter handed over by the guard, opened it and quickly browsed it, then became angry and slapped it on the table!

Seeing this scene, the aides sighed in their hearts. Since the imperial court came to Jizhou, the lord was furious once every three days, and the anger was extremely hurtful. "My lord, is it the news from the imperial army?"

Because only the imperial soldiers and horses in Jizhou can arouse his anger, so the staff asked this question.

Xiao Qi was also very helpless, he couldn't figure out why the empress and the crown prince would stare at his Jizhou with so many state capitals in the world, it was like a dog skin plaster, once it was pasted, it couldn't be torn off.

"A letter from the governor of Shanyang County said that Shanyang County has been controlled by the queen, and she knows the tricks of the official warehouse, and asked the prince to investigate. We have left too many loopholes in this matter, and the prince will find out in a short time. We have transported the food, and they will definitely write to us asking where the food is going, sir, think of a few more reasons in the past few days, so that we can deal with them then."

When the staff heard about this, it gave them a headache. You said that the imperial court came to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion. If you put down the rebellion, you can suppress the rebellion. He doesn’t have to doubt it. The queen led the troops to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion. The ultimate goal is To level them.

"Fortunately, the queen and the prince are members of the royal family. If they were civilians or rebels, I think they must be the most violent group of people in the world. Sir, they have only been in Jizhou for a long time, and they have already shocked the officialdom of Jizhou!"

"The queen and the prince dare to be so unstoppable. It is obvious that the rear is too secure." Xiao Qi gritted his teeth with hatred. He looked at his staff and said: "Sir, I think I am too kind to them. Should I find something for them to do? ?”

The staff's heart skipped a beat, "What does your lord mean—"

Xiao Qi turned his head and looked at the green branches outside the window, "Sir, sometimes the border is too peaceful and it's not a good thing, otherwise some people are too energetic and just looking for trouble!"

The staff member was a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said: "How can you keep your shoes from getting wet when you often walk by the river? Sir, if we contact there too frequently and let the court notice any clues, it will be a disaster!"

The staff didn't want to work hard all their lives, and now they have a family full of children and grandchildren, and the family has a small amount of money. In the end, the family will be ruined, and all the nine clans will be wiped out!

Xiao Qi frowned: "I don't want to take risks with my wealth and life, but in the current situation, if we don't fight back and let it go on, we may not have a good life in the near future!"

Having enjoyed the moment of peak power, now let him return to the days of being at the mercy of others, Xiao Qi cannot accept this result from the bottom of his heart.

The current situation is all due to the short-lived Emperor Mingxi. Before his death, he dared to trick him and chose a fake playboy among the playboys to inherit the throne.

When this old dandy inherits the throne, even the queen and prince are extraordinary, which makes him so passive now.

If there are thousands of mistakes and thousands of mistakes, Emperor Ming Xi shouldn't have chosen this heir!

The staff still feel that this strategy is a bad strategy, and they should not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"My lord, even if some dead soldiers are sent to burn the food and grass of the imperial soldiers and horses, it is better than this strategy."

"Burn food and grass?"

Xiao Qi glanced at him, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

It's just that there are some things that cannot be controlled by your will. Just when the staff thought that Xiao Qi was persuaded and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the imperial court's order arrived.

"Imperial decree?!"

Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Yuncheng in shock.

Xiao Yuncheng urged: "Father, the angel delivering the decree has already entered the city, and will soon arrive at the Governor's Mansion. You should prepare quickly and go to the gate of the mansion to receive the imperial decree."

Xiao Qi and his staff looked at each other. Neither of them could guess the purpose of the imperial edict coming today.

The staff felt that they could not delay any longer and said: "Sir, please go back to the inner room quickly and change into your official robe. I will go to the door of the house to greet the angel group first."

Xiao Qi went into the inner room and changed into his official robe, hurried to the gate of the mansion, and saw that all the masters of the mansion had arrived.

He walked to the front, glanced at the street, and asked Xiao Baoyin who was standing beside him: "Boss, haven't you arrived yet? But there is news, where have you been?"

Xiao Baoyin pricked up his ears and listened carefully, excitedly said: "Father, here we come!"

He had heard the gongs beating as the angels entered the city to clear the way.

Sure enough, not long after, everyone standing at the door of the mansion heard the sound of the gong.

Soon the carriages and horses of the Angel Regiment stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

A white-faced and beardless man alighted from a blue cloth carriage, and when he got off the carriage, he looked at Xiao Qi who was at the front with a smile, "I've seen Lord Inspector!"

Xiao Qi hurriedly returned the gift, "You are so polite, Angel. You have come a long way and it has been a tiring journey. Please come with me to the mansion to have a rest."

"Master Inspector, please!"

"Angels please!"

After entering the mansion, the eunuch who delivered the order drank a cup of tea while the servants of the Governor's Mansion prepared the desk for receiving the order.

The eunuch stood up and said, "Sir, let's do business first!"

"The angel is right, please." Xiao Qi led all the masters and servants of the house to kneel down.

The content of the imperial decree is full of beautiful words, and the focus is at the end, ". Xiao Qi, the governor of Jizhou, is the general stationed in Beizhou to suppress the rebellion. He is in charge of the counter-rebellion in the south of Jizhou, and cooperates with the imperial officers and soldiers to put down the rebellion!"

It's the same thing, the imperial court imitated Emperor Ming Xi when he was in power, and wanted to use imperial edicts to make him submit, it was a big mistake.

When Emperor Mingxi was in power, he dared to resist the imperial edict, but he can still do it now
Xiao Qi felt a toothache when he thought of the imperial soldiers stationed in Shanyang County at the moment.

"Lord Inspector, accept the order!"

Just as Xiao Qi was thinking about it, the eunuch had already finished reading the imperial decree.

Xiao Yuncheng tugged Xiao Qi's sleeve lightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Father, accept the order."

Xiao Qi pursed his lips, and finally reluctantly accepted Ming Huang's imperial edict.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, I accept your decree!"

At this moment, he was in a complicated mood. He didn't understand that he ignored the imperial decree at first. How could he become the governor who had to bow his head to accept the decree after only one year?
Squeeze it.

To say that all these changes were due to the fact that the queen and the prince were stationed in Jizhou, which made him afraid.

He never admits that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is flexible, for the sake of his family, after a fierce struggle, he still chooses to compromise!
After receiving the order, the Governor's Mansion enthusiastically greeted the angel group, and when the angel group was sent away, Xiao Qigang's smiling face instantly darkened.He pointed to the imperial gifts on the desk and said, "Go! Send me all these things to the warehouse!"

The staff stood up and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is something wrong with this, no matter what the imperial gift has to be offered for three days."

"What kind of confession!" Xiao Qi turned his head and glanced at the staff who approached him: "Then the new emperor issued this decree to weaken the troops of my Xiao family, and also to weaken the strength of the rebel army. It kills two birds with one stone, and he has a good idea! "

Let him go to suppress the rebellion, while his queen and prince are not only hanging out in my back garden, but also causing trouble!
Did he go crazy to help the court put down the rebellion, and wait until the rebellion is over so that the court soldiers will attack him directly?
"But the imperial decree has been issued, and there is no way to change it. If you don't punish him with treason, the consequences will not be settled by you and me!" the staff reminded him.

Don't do anything impulsively!
This is also what makes Xiao Qi annoyed, being roasted on the fire makes you have to carry out the emperor's order, otherwise it is a word of 'death'.

"Why am I getting more and more frustrated with my life!"

The more Xiao Qi thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He always felt that he had to do something, otherwise he would not be able to swallow his breath.

The staff member has been with him for more than years, and he still knows a little about the master's character. Looking at his expression, you can tell his unwillingness and his next actions.

Then he began to persuade: "My lord, it is the dream of all men in the world to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. You have realized it, and you are already ahead of ninety-nine percent of the men in the world. Look at Master Yuan of Jingzhou, who occupies The world’s granary has directly become the lackey of the emperor’s old son, and even his son followed the prince to take credit.”

If you are a little more proactive, he believes that the emperor will also release goodwill.

The staff's imagination is very beautiful, but some people are already dominated by desire. How can he understand the advice of returning home?

Going all the way to the dark, not hitting the south wall and not turning back, probably talking about the current situation of the governor of Jizhou.

In the first year of Jianyuan, April th.

Spring plowing began in the northern land.

The troops led by Xia Jing swept all the way, passed through Qing County, and went straight to Liaocheng.

In Liaocheng, she received two letters from Gyeonggi.

Strictly speaking, the original letter was an urgent eight hundred mile letter from Bingzhou. The border was harassed twice by Beidi soldiers and horses, but fortunately they were intercepted by Bingzhou soldiers and horses arranged by Xia Jing in advance and did not attack the Bingzhou border fortress. Cause serious damage.

"It seems that these barbarians are very honest, and the elimination of their two tribes has not made them honest!"

Saying that, Xia Jing looked at Long Yutian: "It's time for us to speed up the gathering."

Long Yutian looked at her seriously: "My lady, what do you want to do?"

"Supervisor, it's time for us to advance in several ways at the same time, speed up the land reform in Jizhou, and speed up the transfer of military and political power in Jizhou." Xia Jing paused and said: "Spring plowing is coming soon, issue notices to encourage The common people open up wasteland, but if the land reclamation reaches a certain amount, the government will exempt them from paying taxes for three years and exempting them from hard labor for one year!"

"Exemption from one-year hard labor?" Long Yutian felt that this was a bit inappropriate. "Once this decree comes out, I believe many people will actively open up wasteland. It's just that. There is a loophole in the policy, so what if no one comes to do labor?"

Xia Jing heard his worries, and couldn't help but laugh: "The supervisor is worrying too much. If this happens, it can only show that the people have opened up enough wasteland. In a few years, I believe that the fields in Jizhou will expand a lot. Area. After three years, the tax will also increase a lot.”

"If the supervisory army is worried that no one will do the labor service, we can hire migrant workers to do the work and calculate their wages every day to solve the problem of no one doing the labor service."

Long Yutian: "Where does the salary come from?"

Xia Jing rubbed her forehead, "Supervisor, you are really smart. I was confused for a while. Of course, the wages for the laborers are paid by the local gentry!"

Long Yutian was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Will they pay this money?"

Xia Jing leaned on the back of her chair and said, "Let them pay directly, of course they are not willing to give up the money. But they must have done some shameful things in the local area, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you can always find some illegal things." matters, especially the matter of annexing good people and turning them into hidden households, is the easiest thing to make a fuss about."

If it weren't for the fact that the Yu Dynasty was not completely under control now, Xia Jing would have wanted to play the game of dividing the land among the local tycoons so that all ordinary people could have land to cultivate and farm.

Not to mention solving the problem of food and clothing, it is a great good not to starve to death for at least the past two years!

"Your Majesty, how dare you think about it!" Long Yutian gave her a thumbs up, "This kind of decree that touches the interests of local powerful families is generally difficult to carry out, but now we have soldiers and horses stationed outside the city, Say two more.

If there were no soldiers and horses staring at the side, I'm afraid that the mighty dragon would not be able to overwhelm the local snake! "

Xia Jing and the others are vigorously carrying out land reform in Liaocheng, and at the same time preparing for spring plowing.

Ding Daqiang, who is far away in the Gyeonggi region, is also arranging spring plowing in his spare time.

"Manager Ding, these hundreds of acres of fields are all used to grow sweet potato seedlings? Even if we add up all the fields, we can't grow so many seedlings!"

Steward Ding watched the farmers bury the soon-to-germinate sweet potatoes in the well dug, and covered them with thin layers of fine soil.

He listened to the tenant's words and explained with a smile: "Last year, we tried planting in Gyeonggi for a year, and we got so many seeds for full breeding. From this, we can see that the queen and the prince want to promote sweet potatoes in Gyeonggi."

Let the common people have something to eat, not least they are so hungry that they are out of shape, walking outside like a ghost, and if the ghost sees it, they have to stay away!
"Is it a free promotion?" The questioner thought that if she asked for money, she would leave quickly.

Ding Daqiang nodded: "It's free! Moreover, the empress and His Royal Highness encourage everyone to use the newly opened wasteland to grow sweet potatoes, so as not to occupy everyone's good and fertile land."

"If the wasteland at home is not enough, can we reclaim the wasteland?" Another person who cared about the wasteland asked.

Hearing this, Ding Daqiang laughed: "The empress encourages everyone to work hard in land reclamation in Jizhou. The newly opened waste land will be exempted from tax for three years. If the amount of land reclamation reaches a certain amount, one year of hard labor will be exempted!"

It can be said that such a government decree takes the poor people at the bottom of society very seriously.

The news spread in the Gyeonggi area, and it immediately boiled up.

Those who don’t have enough land to plant at home allocate part of their energy to prepare for land reclamation, and strive to open up enough wasteland before the sweet potatoes are planted, and then let the family members be exempted from hard labor for one year.

"Guan Ding, is this news true? Why didn't I see the notice from the Yamen?"

Ding Daqiang raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet: "The news is the latest received. When the official document is actually received, the Yamen will post a notice to tell everyone. But I guess this news is very close, so everyone should do their best first. Preparation for land reclamation, or land reclamation directly, and then the land deed can be processed after receiving the notice.”

When everyone heard that it was almost inseparable, they talked a lot.

"What Manager Ding said should be true. When I go back tonight, I will discuss it with my family and see where I can choose a piece of wasteland to open up wasteland?"

"Me too, I have to go back and discuss with my family. I can grow some sweet potatoes for free, and I can harvest more food this autumn. The twenty-odd people in my family rely on the little food grown in the field. Can't die of hunger!"
