Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 139 A Big Show Begins
As soon as the Xuanzhi team entered the boundary of Yunzhou County, Zhao Jun received the news.

After carefully looking at the list of entry personnel, he couldn't help rubbing his chin and meditating.

The guards and eunuchs of the imperial guards in this list are quite normal, and they are the basic equipment of the general decree team.

But why do the miscellaneous people here, such as the driver who drives the car, the groom who feeds the horse, etc., look so familiar with their names?
Zhao Jun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quickly found a book as thick as a dictionary in the bookshelf in the study room, opened it, and took out a thin booklet from a vase to compare.

Soon, Zhao Jun's joyful voice sounded.

"I found it! I said, why is it so familiar? Feelings are all masters of the Imperial City Division!
Tsk tsk, isn't this three the groom from the former Kunning Palace?I said at the beginning why he was from the Imperial City Division, but I didn't expect to follow him this time. "

After figuring out the identities of the visitors, Zhao Jun compared them one by one, and finally found that except for one or two normal coachmen and coachmen, the rest of the nine floors were all experts in the Imperial City Division!
I didn't expect the emperor to arrange them all here. What is he trying to do?
Zhao Jun fell into deep thought.

However, the information collected is too little, and he can't draw any conclusions. If it is related to him, he needs to let them investigate the situation on his side. It left a deep impression.

But if you just want to check your own situation, you shouldn't need so many experts, right?
They should have another purpose.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Jun didn't understand it, so he didn't worry about it anymore, the worst would be that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil.

Putting down the two secret books and putting them back in place, Zhao Jun immediately asked Wang Huai'en and the others to inform Li Yi that their proclamation team had arrived.

Over there, Li Yi and others, who received the news, hurriedly made arrangements as soon as they received the news. The actors quickly released everything. The originally bustling Yunzhou City quickly became quiet. The people in ragged clothes are walking feebly.

If you take a closer look, these people are all yellow and thin, and their eyes are numb. At first glance, they look like they have been malnourished for a long time.

Only occasionally there were gravy residues on the corners of the mouth, but they were quickly pointed out by the companions and wiped off immediately.

Most of the shops on the street are closed, only a few shops selling necessities are still open, but they still look deserted, very deserted!

The most popular South Street in the past was completely closed, there was no one on the street, paper money was scattered everywhere on the ground, and white banners were hung outside every house. There is a monument with the words "Military Zone" written on it, which means that the monument is a bit new.

As for the Yunzhou Square in the middle, it was directly surrounded, and there were people secretly guarding everywhere to prevent people from entering, and everyone was lost and did not go inside. The guards also pretended to be passers-by and watched secretly.

In the barracks of Nanyun Campus, a large number of recruits and veterans were put on leave. Except for some necessary garrisons, the rest of the army were a large number of wounded soldiers. The wound is not completely healed yet.

The placement of these wounded soldiers is also very skillful. The outer ones are those who fought against the Tartars and their old wounds have not healed.

When everything was ready, everyone sent the news back to Prince Yun's Mansion.

Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye, as quickly as if I just yawned and the whole world changed. The bustling and bustling Yunzhou City in the past suddenly returned to the way it was five years ago. Many people who received the news and hid at home were deeply moved.

This time, Yunzhou County informed the people of the entire county about the arrival of the imperial court, and asked them to cooperate in acting.

The reason given is that Yunzhou County has light taxes and low taxes, and did not collect such heavy taxes in the past. His Royal Highness Yunzhou told the court that Yunzhou County was poor and could not pay the money. .

If the people from the court this time let them know that Yunzhou County is so prosperous and rich today, then the court will definitely turn its attention to Yunzhou County again. At that time, everyone wants to pay a little bit of agricultural tax and head tax like now Or sometimes His Majesty Yun Wang simply refused to accept it, but it was impossible.

Nowadays, most of the people in Yunzhou County are immigrants, and there are very few aborigines.

But no matter where they come from, they have all paid the heavy tax of the court before, and they also know the feeling of being overwhelmed by the tax.

Now in Yunzhou County, poll tax and some miscellaneous taxes have been basically exempted.

The agricultural tax is also collected only for people with land, and the tax is extremely low. There are very few local fields in Yunzhou County, so the government office of Yunzhou County can only collect one or two symbolically.

That is to say, Nanli County collects taxes according to their original tax, and now it can be said that it is using the tax from Nanli County to donate blood to Yunzhou County.

As for the people who migrated there, they can accept the fact that the tax there will be higher than here, because the land in Yunzhou County is not only less, but also barren and can't grow any food.

Nanli County not only allocated ten mu of land to each person, but also the land was fertile, with three crops a year!
Even with such a high tax, the harvest in one year is far more than the income from farming in Yunzhou County.

Now that the people from the imperial court are here, if they know the current situation in Yunzhou County, maybe the tax that was oppressive before will be crushed on everyone again. Naturally, no one wants to go back to the previous suffering. day.

Therefore, everyone in Yunzhou County responded to this acting activity, and obediently obeyed the government's arrangement and hid at home.

When recruiting extras before, there were still many people who signed up to participate. If they didn't eat too well and were too fat, everyone might have gone to the street to show off their acting skills.

Now I can only look at those homeless refugees who have just arrived and haven't had time to take care of themselves to play their true colors on the street through the county captain Zhu Tuo at home, envious.

When everyone in Yunzhou County was preparing the stage with one heart, the Xuanzhi team, one of the protagonists of the play, finally arrived outside Yunzhou City.

Although Yunzhou City has been expanded to a certain extent, the lack of manpower in Yunzhou County at that time was only a little expansion, and the current appearance is not much different from the city wall in Guannei, which did not attract the attention of the Xuanzhi team.

When the group of people was still five or six miles away from the city, they put on the support of the decree team, and they traveled with great momentum and posture.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Yuan Lijie, the leader of the team, frowned immediately when he saw two guarding soldiers who were either lame or missing hands.

Can't even find two intact defenders in this big Yunzhou city?
Actually let two disabled military households guard the city gate.

At this moment, someone from the side stepped forward and whispered: "Eunuch Yuan should not be underestimated. Although these two people are physically disabled, but the murderous look on their bodies, as well as the sharpness and self-confidence in their eyes, it is obvious that they belong to the superior." Those who have been on the battlefield, and the designation is still the kind of elite soldiers who have won battles!
I heard that Yunzhou County had a fight with the Tartars before, and these two must have been one of the participants.

Now Yunzhou County can only defend the city with wounded soldiers, which shows how tragic the battle was, and it was a last resort if you think about it. "

Yuan Lijie nodded clearly after hearing this, and looked back, the person who reminded himself just now was one of those people in the team who had been arranged by his godfather.

The man who nodded to him nodded back and quickly retreated into the team.

Yuan Lijie then stepped forward and rushed to the two city guards and said loudly: "Please inform Prince Yun's Mansion, I will come from Bianjing to deliver the decree on behalf of the Holy Spirit!"

The two city guards immediately showed a "shocked" expression, and then the soldier who was missing a hand quickly nodded and said, "I'll go to report to the palace."

After speaking, he entered the city in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Yuan Lijie nodded in satisfaction, ignored the flattering smile of the other soldier, retreated into the line, closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of King Yun.
