In Huangzhou City, when Yang Xuan woke up, the sky was still a little dark.
He put on his clothes and went out.
This is a house belonging to a wealthy family, and Yang Xuan lives in the male master's bedroom.
The bedroom is large, and there is a small room for the slaves outside, so that the master can summon him at night.
Squeak!
The door opened gently and Yang Xuan walked out of the bedroom.
Jiang He'er was sleeping on the bed outside.
After hearing the noise, Jiang Heer turned over with the thin quilt between her legs and murmured: "Don't disturb me!"
The weather was hot and she was wearing thin clothes. When she turned over, the back of her body was exposed to Yang Xuan's sight.
The waist is not too thin, but you can feel the strength contained in it.
The hips are slightly raised, making people feel the surging vitality.
Early in the morning...
Yang Xuan quickly went to the toilet.
Jiang He'er's body suddenly relaxed, then he sat up and covered his face with his hands, "How did I let him see..."
She calmed down, quickly put on her clothes, and then simply dressed up.
Yang Xuan finished washing up, just as Jiang Heer was dressing up.
"You don't look like a maid, you look like a pampered lady."
Yang Xuan teased.
Jiang He'er turned around and saluted, "If you don't clean up your house, it will be embarrassing to go out."
"It's shameful to be ashamed!"
"The person who disgraced his husband."
"Ha! What does this have to do with me?"
"The slave looks up to the sky. When people ask who this person is and find out that she is the maid of the husband, they will naturally think that the husband is slovenly."
"Polite!" Yang Xuan sat down and Jiang He'er came over to comb and tie his hair.
"Actually, I don't care about other people's opinions."
"Then..." Jiang He'er was a little confused.
Girl!
Nature loves beauty.
"However, it is also a good thing to look pleasing to the eye after dressing up."
Jiang He'er couldn't help but touch a strand of hair hanging under her temples, and said happily: "It's just that the powder is almost used up."
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "You can take the makeup from here as you like."
"Not good!"
"The heroine of Jianghu, don't you still take other people's things?"
"yes!"
"But we are conquerors!"
"conqueror……"
The chef here is good, and Yang Xuan was very satisfied with the breakfast.
Jiang Heer was also very satisfied.
"Owner."
Uda came yawning.
"Where's Mr. Han?"
"Mr. Han took people to check the warehouse." Uda was a little dissatisfied. "Everyone in the city should be given one kilogram of grain per day, plus the grain stored at home, they can survive, but they don't have enough to eat. But Mr. Han ordered
Each person is only given half a catty. This is a double reward and a negative reward."
When the old thief heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
The old thief has always wanted to be a real counselor and worked extra hard for this. Cao Ying's main focus was on the New Deal, so there were no tigers in the mountain and the monkey was the king. For a while, the old thief became the only person around Yang Xuan who could discuss matters.
people.
This made him feel more comfortable.
But Han Ji is here.
This man has made suggestions for Yang Xuan several times, and his methods are much better than his.
The old thief is depressed.
Still a little frustrated!
The gap is too big!
But Han Ji unexpectedly went against the rules. Is this a mistake?
"Go and have a look."
Every time a city is conquered, the first thing to be snatched is the household registration list and warehouses.
Jiang Heer helped Yang Xuan change his clothes and asked, "Do you want me to follow you?"
"What can you do if you go? You are a burden!" Yang Xuan straightened his clothes.
Jiang He'er said: "I followed Master to travel all over the Great Zhou Dynasty. The pronunciation is different in ten miles away, and the customs are different in hundreds of miles. But I can understand the dialects of many places."
"What a rare talent!" This person can also be a translator.
"That is."
"Then follow!"
"yes."
Jiang Heer followed Yang Xuan out of the backyard.
More than ten men and women stood in the front yard. After seeing Yang Xuan, they all knelt down.
"I've seen the envoy."
This is the owner of this house.
The male host smiled apologetically and said, "I have two daughters. If you don't want to abandon them, please take them with you and serve them."
Both girls were dressed up, one looked pure and beautiful, the other chaste.
"No."
Yang Xuan nodded and was escorted out of the door.
After going out, he asked curiously: "Aren't you worried about me taking in those two girls?"
"Take it!" Jiang He'er agreed.
"What about you?"
"Me?" Jiang He'er then thought seriously, "I...I'm still me!"
have to!
This girl is really a bit of a middle-class girl.
Order has been restored in the city, and the people are walking close to the side. When they see Yang Xuan, they are even more timid.
"This is Yang Dog...no, Yang Shijun?"
"So young."
"Young people are still young. Our Lei Qi said he was a famous general, but he was defeated by him."
"Tell me what...the famous general of the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty. Hey! He defeated the famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty Lei Qi, and he will be the famous general of the Tang Dynasty."
The old thief listened to these discussions and felt proud, "Lang Jun, I think we should continue to blockade the city for a few days."
“What’s the lockdown for?”
"I'm afraid they will cause rebellion or escape to report our truth to Bianjing."
"First, we did not go on a mass killing spree. On the contrary, Qiu did not commit any crime. Anyone who was full and made trouble would be killed. Second, Lei Qi knew our true and false truths and there was no need to report them."
"Mr. Lang, you are pitying the people in the city!"
"No, if I want to pity, I will only pity the people of the Tang Dynasty." Yang Xuan smiled at a child standing on the street, looking at him curiously, "However, being kind to them now is not for the present, but for the future."
"The future?" The old thief took out a small book.
Looking at Yang Xuan intently.
Yang Xuan nodded, "This battle is a punishment. After the battle, our army will withdraw. What about later? There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The existence of the Southern Zhou Dynasty has restrained a lot of energy of the Tang Dynasty. As such, it should be destroyed."
The old thief said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"It is difficult, but it must be destroyed!" Yang Xuan said: "Be kind to these people now. When the army marches south for the second time, their will to resist will be weakened."
Just like the Daliao and Song Dynasties in another world, Daliao, which occupied the land of Youyan, began to use butcher knives to teach the Han children of Youyan how to behave. But the more they slaughtered, the stronger the will of those Han children to resist became stronger.
Later, the Liao people became wiser and switched to Huairou.
We are a family... We have created some southern officials and northern officials, and let the Han'er take care of the Han'er. The taxes are not high, and they are even better than the people of the Song Dynasty opposite.
It didn't take long for Youyan Han'er to return home. In the subsequent war to destroy the Song Dynasty, Han'er even became the main force.
Han Ji and his people were inspecting the warehouse.
"I've seen the envoy."
Yang Xuan entered the warehouse and saw that it was full of food. He smiled and said, "Is it enough for the army?"
Han Ji turned around and said happily: "Lang Jun, there are mountains of grain and grass in the city!"
"Oh!" Yang Xuan grabbed a handful of rice and twisted it a few times in his hand.
"I just asked Huangzhou officials. Peng Jing and others had high hopes for Lei Qi and wanted him to hold us back. In this way, even if the attack of the middle army goes smoothly, they still have to worry about being cut off by the Huangzhou defenders.
…”
"This is to drive a wedge into the waist of the army." Yang Xuan thought it was a good idea, "Since it is such a plan, there should be a lot of food, grass and weapons in the city."
"a lot of."
Han Ji smiled and said: "Our left army has 8,000 people, which is enough."
"good!"
With food and grass in hand, don’t panic!
Han Ji put the booklet in his sleeve and said: "There is not much food and grass prepared for this southern expedition."
"Those people thought that Zhou's army would be defeated at the first touch." Yang Xuan felt helpless, "If Peng Jing and others knew that our army did not have much food and grass, he could force us back by just grinding people and heaping lives on them."
"We have run out of food and grass, so we have no choice but to retreat."
"And we have to retreat quickly. Once we are bitten by the Zhou army and the army runs out of food, the whole army will collapse in an instant."
Even if the army is besieged, it will be fine, but it cannot run out of food.
“Food is the most important thing for people!”
An official from the Southern Zhou Dynasty came over and said, "I have met the envoy, Mr. Han. The inventory of the warehouse over there has been completed."
He handed over a piece of paper, and Han Ji took it and looked at it, "I've got it."
The official lowered his head and smiled secretly.
Got it!
Yang Xuan made a patrol and said, "I'll leave this place to you while I patrol the city."
Wu Da was stunned, thinking about Han Jiyang's disobedience and the fact that he was only given half a catty of grain?
Don't care?
Yang Xuan seemed to have amnesia and really didn't care.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang."
Han Ji sent Yang Xuan out of the door with a smile. He turned around with the smile still on his face and said, "Go and have a look."
He led people into the warehouse, pointed at the grain cellar and said, "Clean it out."
The official smiled apologetically and said, "Shouldn't we use the grain over there first?"
Han Ji looked at him and said, "I have changed my mind. Do you think it's inappropriate?"
The official lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
The peasants began to collect food.
The food was slowly brought out.
The faces of several Huangzhou officials were steaming with heat.
The warehouse is well built and even in midsummer, it is not too hot inside.
Han Ji glanced at them and said, "Why, it's so hot?"
"yes!"
The official smiled calmly.
Han Ji grabbed a handful of rice and weighed it in his hands.
"Even now, you still refuse to talk about it?"
Several officials were stunned.
"say what?"
Han Ji smiled, "I heard that the officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were greedy. After entering the city, the first thing I did was to have people guard the warehouses. But no matter how much I guard them, I have to ask for your cooperation.
I'm wondering, is there anyone who would take risks and steal food secretly?"
"The army is majestic, who dares?" the official laughed.
"Yes! But there are people who are doing this unscrupulously!"
Han Ji sneered, "A lot of food needs to be distributed to the people in the city every day. Cars come and go. The clerks who keep the accounts seem to be fair and strict, and you who supervise them seem to be loyal to their duties. But why is there 30% less food in the warehouse?"
?”
The official was shocked, "Mr. Han, didn't we check it today? It's no less!"
"Yeah?"
Han Ji said calmly: "I'm afraid you don't know this! I've already asked people to wait with you. During the day, you were waiting inside and outside to pull the grain out, but what came back was not a light truck, but a heavy truck. What did you pull?"
The official's face turned pale.
"What you're pulling is dirt!" Han Ji stood at the edge of the grain cellar, pointed down and said, "After you empty a grain warehouse, fill it with soil and cover it with rice grain..."
The peasants who were carrying it all stopped what they were doing and knelt down.
"Mr. Han, we are just following orders!"
"We've dug into the ground!" a farmer shouted.
Under the huge grain cellar, grain and soil were mixed together, which looked particularly dazzling.
Han Ji turned around with his hands behind his hands.
The officials were trembling all over.
One person knelt down and howled: "I told you not to do it, don't do it, but you just didn't listen, and you said that Tang Jun has no time to care about this..."
"Mr. Han, spare your life!"
The official knelt down.
The accompanying sergeant said: "Mr. Han, do you want to capture it?"
"certainly!"
More than ten officials were captured.
"No need to imprison him!"
Han Ji said: "The envoy originally ordered each person to be given one kilogram of grain every day, but today he went on an inspection and found that only half a kilogram was given out. He was furious and ordered me to investigate closely. No, these grains were found.
Rat."
"Choose a few sergeants with loud voices, take these people to parade, and tell the people in the city that these officials have embezzled their life-saving food!"
In an instant, the expressions of those officials changed dramatically.
"Spare your life!"
The results of more than ten officials parading through the streets were tragic.
"How pitiful!"
The common people stood on both sides of the street, looking at these former superiors, their managers, who were as embarrassed as dogs at this moment, and they couldn't help but feel some sympathy in their hearts.
"The people of Tang Dynasty are too cruel."
"yes!"
The leading sergeant shouted:
"Your Majesty has ordered that the food in the city be distributed according to the registered population, and each person has one pound of food per day. But these dog officials actually embezzled half of it."
The people were stunned.
"Is it a pound?"
an old man asked.
The sergeant nodded, "Of course it's one kilogram. But when the envoy visited the city today, some people said that each person was hungry for half a kilogram of grain per day. This made the king very angry. He ordered an investigation and found out these grain mice."
The old man was startled, and then cursed: "I said hello! This is the life-saving food for my family! Dog officer, my grandson was so hungry yesterday that he howled. I also said that the people of Tang Dynasty were too cruel, but I didn't expect that it was you who waited.
You're doing evil, you bitch, bah!"
A mouthful of phlegm was spat on the official's face.
The official raised his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. This is slander..."
call out!
A shoe flew towards him and hit him right on the mouth!
"Dog officer!"
In the distance, Yang Xuan was watching this scene.
Han Ji was beside him and whispered: "After the city was destroyed, the people didn't know what their fate would be, and they felt anxious and uneasy.
The left army must then advance out of Yongzhou, and Huangzhou behind them must stabilize.
I thought, the only way is to divert the trouble to the east and find an outlet for the people to vent their anger. So I came up with this method to make Mr. Lang laugh."
"Excellent." Yang Xuan nodded, "When the army goes out to fight, the back road must be stable, otherwise there will be fighting in the front and a fire in the backyard, so why fight? I was thinking about how to appease the people, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to dig a hole. What a great job.
good!"
Han Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Lang should have known about the news that I asked you to withhold half of the food, but you ignored it. You don't have this trust, and you don't have my means."
"Xiao Xuanzi, why do these words sound like a conversation between a monarch and his ministers?" Zhuque said.
Yang Xuan also found it interesting, "Thank you for your hard work."
Han Ji said meaningfully: "Lang Jun is thinking about the second southern expedition at this moment, which shows that he has great ambitions in his heart. I am just doing my duty to win people's hearts for you."
This man's plan is much better than mine.
The old thief was a little frustrated, but thought of a question and asked: "What if those officials are not corrupt?"
