Farmer of Shu Han

Sima Shi passed out from the pain and didn't wake up until the next day.

The first thing he said when he opened his right eye was to ask:

"Feng Bandit, how is Xi Bandit doing now?"

Niu Jin, who had been guarding all the time, quickly replied:

"Please don't worry, the Central Supervisory Army. The scouts in front have just sent back the news that the bandit army is currently setting up camp in Gaodu City. But..."

Niu Jin hesitated for a moment:

"However, Taihangxing seems to have discovered the bandit scout."

Upon hearing this, Master Sima let out a long sigh:

"The western thief is not only going to occupy Gaodu City, but nine times out of ten he will also attack me at Tianjingguan!"

Niu Jin was silent.

The already oppressive atmosphere in the room became more and more heavy.

It seemed that it sank so much that Sima Shi could hardly breathe.

He could only hear him breathing heavily.

Although he knew that Feng Thief was the most cunning of all the generals of the Western Thieves, but before the imminent situation, he would always feel a little lucky, thinking that Feng Thief would be satisfied if he got a high capital for nothing.

After all, Tianjing Pass is a critical pass, and Bandit Feng came in a sudden attack, so he probably wasn't prepared enough to attack easily.

But the news that came back from the front completely defeated Sima Shi's last bit of luck.

It's right to think about it. Feng Zei has led the army for many years and has never lost a single defeat.

How could he fail to see that this is the time when the morale of the army on his side is shaken and the defenses at Tianjing Pass are the weakest?

What's more, this person is famous for his viciousness. If the defenders in the pass know that this person is personally leading the attack, the hearts of the people will be even more scattered.

If it were Sima Shi himself, he would not let this opportunity pass by.

At this thought, Master Sima suddenly remembered something again and asked:

"From Luoyang, is there any news?"

Niu Jin's face darkened even more, and he sighed.

Seeing his expression, Master Sima was a little annoyed:

"Quick talk! It's already this time, what else can't be said?"

When retreating to Tianjing Pass, Jiang Gong on the other side of Zhiguan had sent someone to send news about Luoyang.

It's just that Sima Shi was seriously injured, even if he tried to support the director, he couldn't last long.

However, the situation is urgent now, and the remnant soldiers who have fled back must be gathered as much as possible, and they also want to do a good job of defending Taihang Xing, so as to prevent the western thieves from entering Hanoi unimpeded.

So this has been delayed until now.

After all, no matter how critical Luoyang is, Hangu Pass and Shan County are still holding on.

The Han army will not be able to approach the city for a while.

But the important way of Taihang Xing must not be handed over to Feng thief so easily.

Niu Jin smiled wryly:

"The Central Supervising Army, Luoyang sent someone to send an urgent report, asking the Central Supervising Army to go back and take charge of the overall situation."

In the past few days, Luoyang sent people to urge him every day.

The person in charge of Luoyang affairs now is Sima Zhao.

In terms of mind and means, Sima Zhao is far inferior to Master Sima.

It was the first time I encountered such a chaotic situation, and I was really at a loss.

"That's not a big problem yet."

Sima Shi asserted, "General Niu, please, in my name, send another letter to Jiang Gong, urging Jiang Gong more, so that he is ready to take over Tianjingguan immediately."

Although I know that this is a bit too hasty and even irresponsible.

But Master Sima knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

After talking for a while, another huge pain came from his left eye, which made him start to sweat profusely again.

With his current situation, there is no way to go out to appease the morale of the army.

If Feng Thief was going to beat him, and the commander couldn't show up, the soldiers might flee without fighting.

Staying here for too long will only delay things. It is better to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.

Niu Jin volunteered and said:

"If the Central Supervision Army is worried, why not stay here to repel the thieves."

Master Sima took a real look at Niu Jin, then shook his head and refused:

"No, Luoyang City is much more important than here, General Niu, you must go back with me."

On the surface, Sima Shi was urging Jiang Ji to prepare to take over Tianjingguan.

But in fact, even he himself knew that in nine out of ten the Tianjing Gate would not be able to be guarded.

At most, it will delay Feng thief for some time.

Letting Niu Jin stay here, there is no other use except to lose another strong general for nothing.

It's not that he doesn't trust Niu Jin, but that he trusts Feng Zei too much.

Besides, although the road from Gaodu City to Hanoi is only two hundred miles away, it is full of passes.

It is true that Tianjing Pass is the most important in the north, but to the south of Tianjing Pass, there are two other passes that cannot be underestimated.

One is Xingzhen Station, and the other is Wanzi City.

Especially Wanzi City, although it is not as dangerous as Tianjing Pass, where there is a single man guarding the pass, but it is better than being in the southernmost part, next to Hanoi.

Unlike Tianjing Pass, which is close to Gaodu City, it faces the threat of western thieves.

So the only thing he can hope for is that Jiang Gong can make good use of the advantage that Wanzi City is close to Hanoi and the delay of Tianjing Pass to make more preparations.

Abandoning Tianjing Pass and retreating to defend Wanzi City is not the best policy, but ignoring Luoyang for the sake of Tianjing Pass is even worse.

Even if Luoyang is to be abandoned in the end, it is absolutely impossible to give up at this time.

Because of Luoyang, there are still too many important things and characters that have not been dealt with.

Whether Tianjingguan or Luoyang is more serious, Sima Shi can still tell the difference no matter how badly injured or how badly hurt.

I only heard Master Sima sighing long and long: "In the affairs of this world, after all, you can't have your cake and eat it at the same time!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and lowered his voice, as if whispering:

"Hurry up and get ready, return to Luoyang."

Compared with Master Sima who had to retreat back to Luoyang sadly, Shi Bao, who was hundreds of miles away, was much more energetic.

Looking at the villagers who came to reward Master Wang, all of them were accompanied by smiling faces, with a little flattery, Shi Bao also had a kind smile on his face:

"Hey, hey! All the old folks, it's over, it's over, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this!"

While talking, he slipped the pot of "Tan Shi Hu Ju" with his hand, sniffed it, and let out a "tsk".

"This wine doesn't seem to be a good wine for us big men?"

The old man was taken aback: "Huh?"

"The great man's good wine, strong wine, honey wine, rice wine, rose peach wine, smells either mellow, or blazing, or sweet, and there are many."

As Shi Bao said, he sniffed the jug again, and then turned away, with a disgusted expression on his face:

"Look at this wine, it's sour and sour!"

He leaned in front of the old man again, frowned, and asked:

"Are you sure you can drink this wine?"

The village elder didn't seem to have thought that he would encounter this kind of problem, or in other words, he would encounter such a green-skinned rogue-like general.

Didn't it mean that the military discipline of the Han army is very strict?

How did such a person become the chief general in the army?

But seeing the old man's expression froze, Na Na said:

"Returning to the general, Zhangzi County is located in a remote place, the people are poor, the products are scarce, and there are no good things. How can it compare with the land of abundance like Shu and Guanzhong?"

"That's why the wine is weak and the food is hard to swallow. If the general doesn't like it, I'll go back and prepare it again."

The so-called Tanshi pot oar, isn't it just for show?

How can good things be put directly on the street for people to see?

We must have a good discussion behind closed doors.

Do you understand the rules?

When Shi Bao heard this, he laughed:

"Hey, no need, no need, I have known for a long time that the people of Shangdang are poor, how can I bear to be more demanding?"

Hearing this, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The smugglers, the power in Chad, and their inappropriate words are understandable if you think about it.

Just at this time, Shi Bao turned around and pointed at a group of young people in green clothes behind him, then he picked up the tin horn handed by someone, and suddenly raised his voice:

"That's why the imperial court sympathized with the people of Shangdang, and specially sent students from the Royal Academy to re-measure the acres of land, clear up the household registration, and divide the land by dice!"

"Measure the acres of land, clear the household registration, and divide the land by dice," Shi Bao raised his voice again, "If there is a registration, there is land, and if there is no registration, there is no land!"

"Although the Han Dynasty is an old state, its destiny is to be renewed! The emperor of the Han family is sympathetic to the suffering of the people in the world. Today, a new policy is being implemented. The tax for the small is merged into the land tax, and the tax for the small is included in the mu." The officials, the common people, and the common people all pay taxes according to the number of acres of land!"

"Those who dare to obstruct the New Deal, the masterminds will be punished, and the accomplices will be relocated!"

"Whoever dares to conceal the truth about the farmer's mother will have no membership!"

The impassioned voice turned into murderous intent.

It was like thunder rolling in the sky, passing over the sky of the eldest son city, deafening.

The ordinary people who were forced to come to welcome them, as well as those ordinary people who hid in a corner and watched secretly, were all stunned.

As for the old folks standing in front of Shi Bao, they were even more astonished.

I don't know if I was frightened by what Shi Bao said, or because Shi Bao's voice was too loud.

"General, general! General, this matter is very important, and the general is the first eldest son, so if he doesn't know the situation of the eldest son, how about..."

A village elder reacted the fastest, and jumped directly at Shi Bao's feet, hugged Shi Bao's thigh, and persuaded in a trembling voice:

"If you don't think about the long-term plan first, think about it long-term. After all, the eldest son and the common people are in chaos. People's hearts are unstable. The immediate priority is to appease."

Compared with the people who are at a loss and don't know why, these old folks know what the words "spreading into the mu" mean.

I also know what the phrase "regardless of officials, officials and common people, pay taxes according to the number of acres of land" represents what it means.

After all, Shangdang is next to Hedong, and they are very clear about what happened in Hedong these years.

This is simply going to destroy the foundations of the major families for hundreds of years or even hundreds of years!

As the saying goes, it is more difficult to touch interests than to touch souls.

At this moment, Shi Bao's words are no longer touching the souls of these people, but taking their souls away.

No wonder the old man hugged Shi Bao's thigh desperately, desperately persuading him.

This person started, and the rest of the people also reacted at once, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, pleading earnestly:

"General, what Feng Gong said makes sense!"

"General, the people's hearts are not stable, how can we call it a government? And why push the New Deal?"

"It's really too hasty."

...

The villagers begged together and pleaded for the people. If it was changed to the past, it would be the people's will.

Those who are officials, even though they are parents' officials, but if they really want to go against the will of the people and go their own way, arouse public anger, they will lose their positions at least, and their lives at worst.

But Shi Bao doesn't like this at all.

In other words, the central court of Ji Han behind him has enough confidence, and the iron fist of Han feudalism is also hard enough.

I saw that Shi Bao's face turned into a sinister smile:

"Feng Gong, I respect Feng Gong because of your age."

"But if you want to coerce public opinion and coerce Shi, then you have the wrong idea."

The Feng family of Shangdang originated from Feng Ting, the king of Huayang five hundred years ago.

That is to say, Feng Ting, the prefect of Shangdang in South Korea who dedicated Shangdang to Zhao Guo and finally triggered the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping.

"Two months ago, from the bandit Wei to the eldest son, it seems that someone from your Feng clan led the way?"

"I heard that after Wei thief entered the city, it was you Feng who took the lead to help Wei thief appease the people."

"I've even heard that when the bandit Wei entered the city, your Feng family immediately sent a lot of money and food to finance the bandit?"

The more Shi Bao said, the more anger appeared on his face, he kicked Feng Taigong away who was holding his leg, and then kicked the jug to pieces:

"Master Wang is here, one of you has to think long-term, and the other says that the people's hearts are not stable."

"What? Could it be that Master Wang is not as good as Wei thief?"

Shi Bao's sudden rage frightened the villagers again.

Feng Taigong even snotted and burst into tears:

"General, you are wronged! My Feng family has been rooted in Shangdang for hundreds of years. There are many branches and leaves. Although they have the same surname, they do their own things."

"General, the old man has never supported Wei thief!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Shi Bao nodded, "If that's the case, then please ask Mr. Feng to please himself?"

"Self-certification? How to prove yourself?"

"For example, which branch of the Feng family supports the Wei thief? Who is the head of the family? Where do the people live?"

Shi Bao slowed down his voice, and said persuasively: "Even if Mr. Feng doesn't know how many manors they have, he should have heard where their property is probably located?"

When Feng Taigong heard this, his face changed drastically, and he looked at Shi Bao with eyes full of horror.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I will send someone to investigate."

"I will not wrong a good person casually, nor will I let a bad person go."

After finishing speaking, Shi Bao stood up straight, raised the iron horn again, and shouted loudly:

"What I said today, all the people in the city can bear witness to it!"

After a pause, he continued:

"From today onwards, the government will begin to investigate the traitors. If you have helped the thief, within three days, those who voluntarily come to surrender can reduce their crimes as appropriate. Those who dare to conceal and not report will be regarded as the same as traitors!"

"Furthermore, the common people, if there is a report of illegality, the report is attached to the traitor, and the land will be rewarded depending on the merits!"

Feng Taigong was already sluggish and lifeless, his limbs limp and limp on the ground.

Many other villagers were also trembling.

There are also some people whose eyes are rolling around, not knowing what they are thinking.

Seeing the reactions of these people in his eyes, the corner of Shi Bao's mouth twitched slightly, showing a hint of a smile.

This smile happened to be seen by Feng Taigong who just raised his head.

A few days later, Feng Taigong understood what a wolf's smile is.

"This general, if the report is illegal, can you really reward Tian Tian?"

A timid voice sounded from nowhere.

"Of course! As I said, what I said today can be witnessed by all the people in the city."

"I want to report the Feng family. He must have lied to the general. Those members of the Feng family who followed the thief, before they escaped, returned all the estates to Mr. Feng's family!"

"Nonsense! Who? Who is slandering my Feng family!"

Feng Taigong, who was still limp on the ground, jumped three feet high when he heard this, and turned to the direction of the source of the sound with a red face:

"Who? Stand up!"

But I don't know if someone really slandered her, or if she had been under Feng's power for a long time, the person who spoke did not dare to show her head.

Seeing that no one answered, Feng Taigong turned back and said to Shi Bao anxiously:

"General, general, this is really slander!"

Shi Bao smiled all over his face and said in a warm voice:

"I know, I know, the Feng family is a big family in the Shangdang, and it's normal to have one or two unworthy people."

Feng Taigong was full of gratitude: "Thank you, General!"

"Hey, didn't I say that? I won't just wrong a good person."

Shi Bao said solemnly:

"Since someone has slandered Mr. Feng, let's start with Mr. Feng's room first, and return Mr. Feng's innocence!"

"General?"

Feng Taigong looked at Shi Bao in disbelief.

Shi Bao supported Mr. Feng, smiling all over his face: "Mr. Feng, please!"

Taigong Feng trembled, rolled his eyes, and passed out on the spot.

"Hey! Feng Gong? Feng Gong, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Bao shouted: "Come on, hurry up, help Feng Gong go back to rest."

"Also, you, lead people, follow up, and you must investigate carefully, Mrs. Feng, who is being rebellious, don't let Mr. Feng be slandered!"

"Here!"

Feng Taigong, who was dizzy with his eyes closed, jerked his body violently, tilted his head, and really passed out.

"Come on!"

"General?"

"Go, announce to the whole city, and inform the people of the two things of the investigation of the rebellion and the distribution of the stalls into the mu."

"Here!"

"Don't forget, if you report illegal activities, you will be rewarded for reporting illegal activities."

"clear."

PS: Kindly recommend a new book "My Son Cao Ang Has the Pose of a Great Emperor".

To be honest, it is strange for me to recommend a book by Cao thief in a book that is mostly Shu fans. Don't you worry that it will have the opposite effect?
