People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 304 Generosity, the crime of presumptuousness

The entire courtroom was quiet, everyone held their breath and looked at the old man in disbelief.

Li Xuan sat in the courtroom, looking at the others.

A trace of resentment has already flashed in the eyes of some narrow-minded and dark people.

Turning his head to look at Dongyang Jiaoyu, Li Xuan looked serious, and at the same time stretched out his hand and arched in the direction of Luoyang: "Pang Jiaoyu, sir, people who teach rituals should know that such things are saints and queens, or It is the crown prince who can bestow grace, although this king is the king of the county, he must not exceed it in the slightest, otherwise it will be a crime of trespassing and death, I hope you will forgive me."

Pang Jianyi is the teaching edict of Dongyang County, who is in charge of all education and imperial examination matters in Dongyang, and is above the professor of Jijiu.

His words are very heavy, but Li Xuan's words are even more serious.

Pang Jianyi's face became slightly serious. He didn't expect that although Li Xuan's words were polite, but in his tone, he would directly buckle such a big hat.

He wanted to continue to refute, so that Li Xuan could understand the difficulties of people's livelihood, but he couldn't speak again.

If it was for other reasons, Pang Jianyi could still speak, but he could not refute at all due to etiquette.

Seeing that Pang Jianyi had been standing there for a long time without retreating at all, Li Xuan'e didn't pay any attention to him, looked directly at Gu Tan, and said in a deep voice, "Major Gu, there is a third thing to do, which is recruiting soldiers."

Li Xuan looked at the crowd who raised their heads in astonishment, then took out a big tiger head seal from his body, and placed it flat on the table.

Li Xuan said coldly: "This king is now recruiting [-] soldiers in Dongyang as Captain Guoyi of the Kuaiji Prefecture. Those who are proficient in bows, horses, swords and guns are preferred. , The treatment is the same as that of the Zhechong Mansion in Kuaiji, meritorious service is recorded during the war, and those who have meritorious service after the war can directly enter the Zhechong Mansion in Kuaiji."

Li Xuan's words made everyone's expressions change slightly.

Li Xuan's identity as Lieutenant Guoyi of Kuaiji Prefecture was not a secret in their eyes. Before Li Xuan mobilized the soldiers who besieged Liu's farm, he used his identity as a soldier of Kuaiji Zhechong Prefecture.

But Li Xuan was recruiting troops in Dongyang, which made them surprised, but also worried.

Now, although Dongyang City has eliminated the hidden dangers of Tianyin Sect, no one can guarantee when Tianyin Sect will make a comeback.

Once the Tianyin Sect makes a comeback, how can Dongyang City resist.

Gu Tan had already made the preparations for the military service, but now Li Xuan brought it up.

He conscripted away all the soldiers, what about Dongyang?
There was a hint of embarrassment on Gu Tan's face, he raised his head, his gaze was about to look at Li Xuan, but in an instant, he involuntarily fell on the four seals on Li Xuan's body, and his face suddenly became serious.

It was the official seal of the governor of Wuzhou, the official seal of Wuzhou Biejia, the official seal of Dongyang County Magistrate, and the official seal of Captain Guoyi of the current Procuratorate Kuaiji Prefecture.

However, this is only a part of Li Xuan's identity, he is still the current county king, general Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang, and minister of Honglu Temple.

Just from this series of official positions, one can tell how much the emperor trusts Li Xuan.

Gu Tan thought for a while, then cupped his hands carefully, and asked, "My lord said that only fifty soldiers are recruited in Dongyang, but is it true?"

"It's true." Li Xuan nodded, and said: "This king has very high requirements. If Dongyang can have 50 qualified people, it is already extraordinary. For others, this king has already written to Yiwu, Pan'an and Yongkang counties. Let them Each county prepares ten young men skilled in archery and horses, and then recruits some more in the prefectural capital, Wuyi, Jinhua, Pujiang, Lanxi, etc. pawn."

Now under the command of Li Xuan and other places, there are a total of 50 veterans and government soldiers from Yangzhou. Later, 30 people were recruited in Hangzhou. If you count the Kai family fleet, they will also be incorporated into the government soldiers Among the personnel, the elite Zhechong Mansion under his command has more than a hundred people.

In addition, there are 50 people in Dongyang, and about ten people in each of the other counties, which can almost recruit more than 230 people.

The rest is in the state city, and Li Xuan must reserve enough places for Wuzhou state city.

"My lord's request is probably beyond the reach of ordinary people. I'm afraid some children from good families, or even children from aristocratic families, can do it." County Wei Kangyao immediately realized that Li Xuan hadn't revealed his hidden meaning.

In this world, ordinary people don't have the opportunity to practice horse bow and horse. Those who are really proficient in horse bow and horse are all the children of major families.

In addition to recruiting soldiers, Li Xuan is also attracting people's hearts.

No, it's not just that, he is still faintly distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy.

If those families are unwilling to let their children join Li Xuan's command, they will be blacklisted immediately.

Gu Tan is absolutely sure that their black-bellied Nanchang County King will definitely do this.

"Is it possible?" Li Xuan looked at Gu Tan with a half-smile.

Gu Tan smiled wryly, and said: "This is feasible. The lower officials originally planned to recruit some soldiers in the name of the county government, but now it seems that with the arrogance of those people, they may not join the soldiers. It can relieve some pressure on the county."

The people Li Xuan wanted were simply not something Gu Tan could keep.

Even if they are forced to join the conscription army, it will only bring a lot of trouble in the end.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Yu Xiuzhuan has already drafted an official document, and he and Gu Xiancheng will seal it together later."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "There is another thing, that is, the king needs to temporarily recruit the Green Willow Manor as a place for military training. Gu Xiancheng will also sign the document later."

Gu Tan frowned slightly, and asked subconsciously: "Isn't the lord leaving Dongyang tomorrow?"

"This king's departure does not mean that the soldiers of the Kuaiji Mansion will also leave, they still need training." Li Xuan said with a serious voice, "Besides, Dongyang's affairs are not completely over yet, so we will temporarily leave some of our staff behind. Now, let's see if there is any chance."

Gu Tan immediately understood the Shangxi Gold Mine.

Based on his understanding of Li Xuan, Li Xuan's temporary refusal to take action against the Shangxi Gold Mine may be due to ulterior motives.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's words changed, and he said with a worried face: "Gu Xiancheng, although the summer harvest will start in a few days, but I still want to go to the fields to see, I don't know where in Dongyang the grain is available." Harvesting has already started, this king will go to have a look, and the people from Hucao Yamen will also go with him, this king wants to see your usual method of collecting taxes..."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a while, and then said: "This king will leave for Zhoucheng tomorrow, if I don't go to the fields to have a look, I'm somewhat worried."

Gu Tan stood on one side, without any hesitation at this time, he immediately cupped his hands: "I will obey the order, and I will make arrangements immediately."

Li Xuan nodded, his eyes fell on the box on the side, and then looked to one side: "Yu Xiuzhuan, Mr. Zi'an, Mr. Bixing, the three of you, together with Hucao and students from the county school, will Should the properties of the yellow books on both sides be compared and put into storage? Before evening, this king wants a result."

"Follow the order!" Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Du Bixing, the three of them cupped their hands at the same time.

Xi Ying, the school inspector Cao Canjun below, Cheng Zipu, who was in charge of helping, and a group of county students all agreed at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a complex expression: "Even if these things are obtained from the Liu family's house copying, they may not necessarily be accurate. They can only be so for the time being. In the future, you should be cautious about collecting taxes from early households. If you don't lock the mistakes and omissions, it should be handled by Gu Xiancheng himself."

"I will obey the order." Gu Tan cupped his hands again.

Li Xuan stood up from the case of the county magistrate, and then an official from Dongyang County who was present said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, you should know that the summer tax this time is heavier than in the past, and the sky is cloudy again. Rebels are making trouble, and you can’t be harsh on the people, so for the sake of the overall situation, I ask you all to restrain your hands and feet. If there is anything, you can talk about it after Xia Harvest... If someone insists on going his own way, then don’t blame me for being cruel, just remember.”

"This subordinate obeys the order." The people present were immediately awe-inspiring, and now they dare not underestimate any words of Li Xuan.

The king of Nanchang County had only been in Dongyang for two days, and he had caused horrific killings that ordinary people could not imagine.

At this time, who dares to be careless.

But really, no one dares to act recklessly?

Li Xuan's eyes gradually became faint.

……

In the backstage of the county office, Li Xuan was sitting alone in front of the bed reading history, at this moment, Li Zhu's voice sounded at the door: "Mr. Lang, please see Cheng Zipu for the Dongyang wine offering."

"Please come in." Li Xuan put down the book in his hand, closed it, and put it aside, then looked up to the door, and then saw Dongyang Jijiu Cheng Zipu coming in from the door.

Behind him, followed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman in a green skirt, who looked a little baby fat and in her prime.

"I've seen the prince!" Cheng Zipu cupped his hands to Li Xuan, and then introduced from the side: "This is the little girl Cheng Yan."

"Cheng Yan has seen the prince!" The woman Cheng Yan leaned over slightly, with a pretty face and clear eyes, which did not match the baby's fat face.

Cheng Yan was the woman who was engaged to Liu Dao back then.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, looked at Cheng Zipu and asked, "Why did you bring your daughter here today, sir, is there something else?"

Cheng Zipu said with a wry smile: "Reporting to the lord, this official has no choice but to write a letter of resignation on his own initiative, so in Dongyang City, there have been a lot of gossip about the official and his daughter, so I temporarily let my daughter To avoid the limelight, I hope the lord can take her to the state city, my brother-in-law is in Wuzhou Prefecture, serving as a soldier Cao Canjun, so please ask the lord to take the little girl to the state city together."

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Cheng Yan's head, and an entry popped up immediately.

[Cheng Yan, 17 years old, from Dongyang, Wuzhou, father Cheng Zipu, Dongyang County Jijiu, a quiet person, likes to read! 】

【Can tease】

Li Xuan looked at the two words [Ke Tiao], and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart. These two words haven't appeared for a long time.

Well, now even if it's just for these two words, Li Xuan wants to keep her.

Although the distance from Dongyang to Zhoucheng is not far, if the woman walks alone, it is hard to avoid accidents, so letting her follow Li Xuan is also for safety.

"In Wuzhou today, although it looks calm, there are turbulent waves in the dark. No one knows when a big change will happen. It is right for you to think more about it. This king agrees." Li Xuan smiled. What was promised, but a small thing.

"Thank you, my lord!" Cheng Zipu bowed slightly, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I am taking the liberty to ask if I can ask for a job as an internal official clerk for my little girl."

Li Xuan raised her brows, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that the master is worried about the Liu family, and that's why... Well, Ling Qianjin will stay with me first, temporarily acting as a secretary and sorting out documents."

Liu Dao is still in the Shangxi Gold Mine, watching Dongyang all the time.

Although Li Xuan no longer took Liu Dao seriously, the Cheng family was still worried.

Considering that the Cheng family had decisively signed the divorce papers with the Liu family, Li Xuan finally agreed.

"Thank you, my lord." Cheng Zipu heaved a long sigh of relief, and turned to look at Cheng Yan.

For a moment, his expression was full of sadness and guilt.
