Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8001
Plum Blossom Villa.

Luo Xingchen couldn't help but want to rub his eyes, for fear that he might miss it.

The familiar figure standing in front of him turned out to be Grandpa King Wu!
King Wu's temples were a little gray, with a smile on his face.

"Chen'er."

The familiar and kind voice almost brought Luo Xingchen to tears.

"Grandpa, why did you come to Zhongjing?" Luo Xingchen stepped forward and asked.

King Wu took a look at Luo Xingchen, nodded and said: "I accompany your grandma, the Liao Kingdom who came together, um, you have grown taller, as tall as me."

"This little girl is quite beautiful."

King Wu turned his attention to Mo Anbai beside Luo Xingchen, and the smile on his face became wider.

Mo Anbai blushed, looking very shy.

"I met Grandpa Wu Wang." Mo An said in vain.

"Good boy!"

"Chen'er, you guys, follow me into the villa."

King Wu waved his hand, and the two guards who stopped at the door came over leading three horses.

"Get on the horse, this villa is very big, it's better to go on horseback."

"Little girl, can you ride a horse?"

King Wu looked at Mo Anbai.

"Will do."

Mo Anbai got on the horse very skillfully, without dragging his feet in the slightest.

There was a flash of approval in King Wu's eyes.

Although he has no dislike for timid women, he admires women who can ride horses, have martial arts skills, and are free and easy.

The three rode along the road on horseback.

After walking for a while, Luo Xingchen finally understood why King Wu let them go on horseback.

This manor, except for the gate when entering the door, after entering, it is like the wilderness, with continuous roads. On both sides of the road, you can see a lot of pastures. There are horses grazing on it, and there are grazing people watching from a distance. with.

"Grandpa, there is also a horse farm here." Luo Xingchen asked.

"It used to be a group of horse thieves who stayed here. This racecourse was built by them. There are more than 2000 horses in total." King Wu said.

"More than 2000 horses, this horse thief is really generous." Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed with surprise.

"With such a large racecourse and so many horses, it stands to reason that the imperial court should have known about it long ago. Why didn't the imperial court send troops and horses to wipe out the horse thieves earlier?" Luo Xingchen continued to ask.

"Of course the imperial court knew about it long ago, but the local county guards don't want to wipe out the horse bandits. If they are completely exterminated, how can they take the imperial court's money for suppressing bandits?" Wu Wang said.

"It turns out that raising bandits is the most important thing. In this world, bandits come and go, and they can't be wiped out. Many of them are indulged by local officials." Luo Xingchen sighed and shook his head.

"It's not just connivance, there are many horse thieves who are disguised by officers and soldiers." King Wu smiled and said.

"In this kind of world, how can the common people live a good life? It's really miserable." Luo Xingchen shook his head.

"It's all business. The county guards can also use the name of suppressing bandits to increase taxes. The scholar-bureaucrats took the lead in paying taxes. The people saw that the scholar-bureaucrats had paid, so they had to pay the new tax."

"But where did they think that this is all a play."

"When the new tax comes up, the money of the scholar-bureaucrats will be returned in full, and the money of the common people will be divided into three or seven." King Wu said.

"The imperial court takes [-]%?" Luo Xingchen said.

"Scholar-bureaucrats get [-]%, county guards get [-]%, the court, hmph, nothing." King Wu snorted coldly.

This is also in the Liao Kingdom. If it was in Daqi, King Wu might go up and hack the county guard to death.

"They divided up the money, and completely ignored the bandit suppression?" Luo Xingchen said.

"Not only did they swallow the money from the new tax, they also swallowed the money allocated by the imperial court. The garrison guarding Zhongjing has 3 people on the surface, but in fact, there are only 2 regular soldiers. They have suffered a deficit of [-] people. .” King Wu said.

Luo Xingchen was astonished.

This is downright audacious.

"Where's the county guard?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"The former county magistrate was promoted and went to Shangjing to become a bigger official. The current Si Kongxiang wants to do something practical, but it's hard to get back. It's hard to rely on him alone!"

Wu Wangdao.

"Such a person can still be promoted. There is no reason for the Liao Kingdom to survive. The false emperor Tuobakang is a stupid fool."

Luo Xingchen became more aware of the reason why his grandmother Tuobaxian wanted to seize the throne as soon as possible.

If Tuoba Kang was allowed to continue, the power of the Liao Kingdom would be exhausted.

After all, Tuobaxian is still a member of the Tuoba family. If the Liao Kingdom falls, the Tuoba family must be wiped out.

"At first, I was hesitant to go north, but when I learned that the Liao Kingdom was in the current situation, I knew that it would be impossible not to go north."

Wu Wangdao.

"Grandpa, after this time, I'm going back to Daqi." Luo Xingchen said.

"Meet the general here first, you are returning to Daqi." King Wu said.

"Well, that's exactly what I'm here for."

When Luo Xingchen came here, what he wanted was to meet the training generals and see if there were any mistakes.

After all, the recruits trained are to defeat Tuobakang's army, which must not be sloppy.

If there is a general who only knows how to eat, take cards, and has no ability, the new army will be training in vain.

However, seeing that King Wu was here, he was not worried.

A general who can pass the eye of King Wu must have passed.

Along the way, after passing a large grassland, there is a winding mountain road, with a large lawn built on the mountainside and a large number of buildings.

In the distance, a team of hundreds of people came running, shouting chant.

"The deputy team leader, you lead people to train, I'm going to meet them."

The leading general rushed towards the place where King Wu and the others were located.

Not long after, Luo Xingchen also noticed him.

It was a dark-skinned, firm-willed soldier who looked like steel.

"King Wu."

Soldiers meet and raise their hands in salute.

"Come on, Junjie, why did you train this team yourself?" King Wu asked as he got off his horse.

"The captain of this team had a cold yesterday, so I had no choice but to come and take care of it for a day. After tomorrow, their team is recovering, and I will switch back." Lai Junjie said.

"It's never been easy for you to come from Xiajing, but I asked you to come here to be a general and command the war, not to run with a small team."

"Later, you let the deputy team lead the training, and you go back to do your own work." King Wu said.

"Here!" Lai Junjie listened to the order.

After finishing the official business, King Wu introduced both parties.

"Come on, general, can I see how the recruits are trained?"

Luo Xingchen put forward his request.

"No problem, Mr. Chen please."

After getting King Wu's approval, Lai Junjie was going to take Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai to the training ground.

King Wu didn't follow, he left alone to get busy.

After arriving at the training ground, Luo Xingchen found that there were thousands of people training here, and the scene was very lively.

But Luo Xingchen looked at it for a while, but frowned and said: "There is something wrong with this training."
