Chapter 279 The daily life of ordinary powerful officials

Busy days always fly by.

Yang Chuan, Huo Qubing, Cao Xiang and Zhi Niang Liu Man were all fifteen or sixteen year old boys and girls. Even in the desolate Shuofang County, they had their own youthful joy.

Teaching, educating people, and taking care of Huo Qubing and Cao Xiang, this life will be more fulfilling and comfortable.

Yang Chuan, who has been a man for two generations, although hiding in the body of a young man, has a heart that has gone through many vicissitudes of life. Watching Huo Qubing grow up day by day, he was inexplicably moved.

Well, it's almost like an old father... ahem, it's almost like a father and brother caring.

There was a lot of fighting and making noises, and in a blink of an eye, the new year turned over, and it was the time of spring again.

Calculating with his fingers, Yang Chuan is now seventeen years old.

Ah, next year, you can...

"Yang Chuan, Guo Xie is asking to see you at the door. Do you want to let him in?"

On this day, Yang Chuan was looking through a volume of maps and thinking about Shuofang County's farm plan. Liu Man quickly came to the back hall and poked his head at the door of Yang Chuan's room.

Yang Chuan didn't even raise his head and said gently: "Let him come in."

Liu Man said "Hey", coughed hard a few times, and asked: "Xiao Langjun, my study has made great progress recently, and I can solve many difficult problems."

Yang Chuan raised his head helplessly, rubbed his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Have you changed into new clothes again?"

Only then was Liu Man satisfied. He stood on tiptoes and pushed out his chest: "Look, Sister Zhi Niang cut it with her own hands. Does it look good?"

Yang Chuan looked at it carefully and nodded: "Yeah, it's quite big."

Liu Man was stunned for a moment, his pretty face flushed, and his legs couldn't help but soften. He groaned and cursed: "I hate it, who told you to look at it? I'm not even eighteen years old yet..."

As he spoke, she ran over quickly.

Uh, I never noticed before that this guy is so promising and can be so shy with just one word...

Yang Chuan shook his head, his hands were busy writing and drawing.

Shuofang County has a vast area and is full of wastes waiting to be renovated. It is about to start reclamation and land reclamation. Many preparations have not been made yet, which makes him very anxious.

"I've met Marquis Changning."

After a while, Guo Xie came to the door of the back hall. He bowed his hands and saluted first, and then stepped in after receiving Yang Chuan's permission: "Marquis Changning, Guo Xie came here to ask, what do you want me to do?"

Yang Chuan raised his head and pointed to a chair below: "Sit down first and take a sip of water before talking."

However, Guo Xie did not sit down and insisted on asking: "The Marquis of Changning gave me a clean household registration and gave me three thousand acres of fertile land. For more than a month, he has not summoned me. Guo Xie felt a little uneasy and felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.

Therefore, I came here today and asked, what do you want me to do?"

Yang Chuan smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you last time that you should be a good person?"

He stood up, stretched, flexed his muscles, and said casually: "If everything had to be calculated for others to do and not do, then the world would be too boring;"

"Sell all the people and animals you have to me, Shuofang County. Even if I am short of money and food, I am not short of that. In addition, let me tell your brothers that no matter how chivalrous and righteous you are outside,

I will never let go of any wrongdoing, and I am willing to find a way for everyone to get a clean household registration."

"People have to eat..."

Yang Chuan looked very tired, his face was a little pale, and his eyeballs were severely congested. He had been so busy recently that he almost couldn't hold on anymore.

Guo Xie looked at Yang Chuan, thought about it again and again, and said, "Marquis Changning, you are different from other nobles."

Yang Chuan smiled and said: "What's different? Three heads and six arms? Or do you eat with a fart swallow?"

Guo Xie was finally made to laugh.

Immediately, he said seriously: "You are the first nobleman Guo has ever seen who treats common people as human beings. Even those undocumented savages, sons-in-law, and other people's slaves, you treat them equally and make them become

Such people are rare in the world, such as military households in the field.

However, Marquis Changning, if you act like this, be careful that others will resent you..."

Guo Xie paused, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then continued: "Someone has already used my people in Chang'an City to buy the head of your Marquis of Changning at a price of 30,000 gold."

But Yang Chuan smiled and said indifferently: "Hey, who is so stingy that he only paid thirty thousand gold? You know, two years ago, Cao Xiang, Huo Qubing, I, and I had our heads hacked by five people.

Bought with ten thousand gold."

"You should know about that, right?"

Guo Xie nodded and said, "I know, and I personally issued that mission."

Yang Chuan nodded, quite satisfied with Guo Xie's magnanimity, and pointed to the chair below for the second time: "Guo Xie, let's sit down and talk."

Guo Xie confessed his crime and then sat down.

Yang Chuan thought for a few breaths and suddenly asked: "Guo Xie, why were you unwilling to recruit your brothers as county soldiers last time? Relatively speaking, you group of desperadoes who have made great achievements on the battlefield are always better than those who were on the battlefield.

Humans and animals, right?”

Guo Xie sighed: "What Changning Marquis doesn't know is that today's rangers in Guanzhong have actually been torn apart. Many of them are called rangers, but in fact they are no more than guards of powerful families, thugs, and traders of human and animal livestock, not even horse dealers;

Who doesn’t have dozens of rangers under every noble man?

It can only be said that there are more and more poor people in the world, and they are getting poorer, but the nobles are also getting richer, and one is more luxurious than the other. In their eyes, the so-called knights are just a group of rabble, doing evil things.

I just do some tiring and dirty work for them.

Even if someone is willing to accept recruitment from the imperial court, once we go to the battlefield, those of us who are not doing our jobs will suffer first and be the target of the charge?"

Guo Xie is a smart guy, isn’t he?

To be able to see the world so thoroughly is considered a heroic figure.

Yang Chuan was silent for a long time and said: "That's it. If you are willing to do it, just go directly to Sima Qian to sign the relevant documents and contracts. If you really don't want to do it, I won't make it difficult for you. Just farm well, have children, and live a good life.

Let’s go and live a small life like a common people.”

As he spoke, he picked up the tea bowl and was about to see the guests off.

Guo Xie finally spoke and asked tentatively: "Marquis Changning, are you really not going to hold us accountable for our past sins?"

Yang Chuan chuckled lightly and said, "Just because you, Guo Xie, can talk about past sins, I, Yang Chuan, will respect you as a good man!"

Guo Xie's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long time, he sighed and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Marquis Changning. This matter involves the lives and fortunes of many brothers. Please allow me to go back and think about it carefully."

Yang Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Master Guo, walk slowly..."

…

The Guo Xie incident was just a small episode, and it could be regarded as an idle stroke of Yang Chuan's impromptu idea. As for whether it can have a good result, it's just a matter of chance.

After a busy morning in the back hall, it's time for lunch.

But Yang Chuan went out on horseback, taking only Sister Bao, two sand sculptures, Tang Yifu and Dongfang Shuo, and letting the half-grown men protect him secretly...

The greater the person's official position, the more valuable his life is.

In order to live for a few more decades, prepare more backup plans and not be shabby.

He walked freely on the broad avenue of Shuofang City and went straight to the area where the Huns lived. He watched the prairie people busy in their courtyards. No matter men, women, old or young, their sheepskin robes were clean, and their heads and faces were clean.

The washing was very clean; besides, seeing the smoke coming out of the chimneys of these Huns' houses, Yang Chuan felt quite proud.

It is actually quite difficult to let these people who only know how to herd sheep and horses work in the fields.

First of all, we need to let them learn to enjoy farming life first, and then we can let them gradually like the peaceful life of farming at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the front, mixed with the laughter of some children.

Riding his horse forward, Yang Chuan turned around a clean yellow mud road and saw a large group of Huns children gathered in front of him, as if they were having some kind of party.

Yang Chuan's face darkened.

During this special period, he allowed the Huns to enjoy life, allow them to eat well, wear warm clothes, and feel the "goodwill of the Han Dynasty"; however, the Huns were absolutely not allowed to gather.

On this point, he had made repeated orders and asked Zhang Tang to personally supervise the matter.

When they got closer, they found that among the group of Hun children were two little women, Zhi Niang and Naren Tuoya. They distributed some rock candy in their hands and actually told stories to them?

These two losers!

You know, one tael of rock candy from his Yang family can be exchanged for a cattle, so he just gave it to others for nothing?

Simply!

Yang Chuan had a strange look on his face, and he didn't say anything after dismounting, and walked over silently.

"Everyone must remember to come to school early tomorrow morning. Whoever comes first will be rewarded with two pieces of rock candy. Do you remember this?"

Narentuoya was holding half a bag of rock candy, smiling like a big sister, and using Hun dialect to confuse people: "When we get to school, everyone can learn to write their own names, learn to count their own sheep, and can also help

Mom and dad count the money."

"Do you know what money is?"

"Look, this is money. As long as you can earn enough money, you can buy a few pieces of rock candy every day. Everyone, tell me, okay?"
