Han official!

Chapter 33 Fu Ji
"I never thought it was Chief Guo who came. We are so rude."

The main door was not open, but a side door was opened. A Tingzuo in his twenties stood inside the door, holding a two-foot sword. His triangular eyes were full of sinisterness. He was obviously a Zhongshan wolf who was not easy to deal with.

Ting Hou stood opposite, with a look of curiosity on his face. He was slightly good at stretching his neck and kept looking at Guo Jie. He was more curious than hostile about the hero Bianhu, who was well-known among the people of Chang'an. He looked at Guo Jie's hands again and again.

I really can't understand how human hands can kill a tiger.

Could it be that Guo Jie's palms were made of copper or iron?

"Little brat!"

Wei Guang was furious: "Brother is here in person, and you actually opened the side door. Who are you looking down on? Today, the Lord will arrest you and send you to serve in the army!"

He had been a riding slave since he was young, and had developed a sensitive personality. He hated being looked down upon the most.

"drink!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from the side of the white cloth covered carriage, and a red shadow rushed over. The red-maned horse was very fast, and before Tingzuo could react, it was knocked over by an iron halberd with the word "卜" on it.

Wei Guang turned his wrist, dragged Tingzuo's body out of the side door, and dragged him to the road at the entrance of Jiashe courtyard.

"color!"

Guo Jie couldn't help but cheer loudly. Wei Guang was indeed the number one man on the southern front of the Han Dynasty. No wonder he had made such an outstanding achievement of destroying several countries.

Wei Guang riding a horse and Wei Guang not riding a horse are completely two different people.

Wei Guang defeated Ting Zuo in a cavalry battle.

Guo Jie, who was fighting a tiger with his bare hands, didn't even see how fast Wei Guang attacked.

"color!"

"color!"

"color!"

Zhang Qian and others looked at Wei Guang riding on his horse with sparkling eyes. They couldn't help but cheer loudly, marveling at Wei Guang's bravery in cavalry. No wonder he kept muttering to let Guo Jie see his cavalry skills when he attacked Yang Di Yuan's house last time.

Wei Guang raised his chin, hummed softly, and shook his hair that was fluttering in the wind.

Extremely proud.

"What are you going to do?"

Ting Hou was shocked and immediately drew out his two-foot sword. The people behind him also hurriedly drew out their two-foot swords. They were shocked and scared, and looked vigilantly at Wei Guang who was riding a red-maned horse, ready to rush out to save people at any time.

"stop!"

Tingzuo lay on the cold ground, clutching his nearly severed right arm. Sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still endured the severe pain and called out to his tribesmen, "Open the main gate and let them in through it."

He often checked for bandits at the Zhicheng Gate, and from time to time he would meet nobles and dukes going out. The moment he lay beside the red-maned horse, he recognized that the horse was Princess Pingyang's Hexi horse.

Princess Pingyang was the emperor's eldest sister, born of the same mother.

Who dares to offend?

"Brother."

Tinghou was about to ask Tingzuo why he had let people in when he saw Tingzuo staring blankly at the red-maned horse. Upon closer inspection, he was horrified to find that it was actually Princess Pingyang's Hexi horse. "Hurry and open the middle gate."

The Tinghou hurried over and opened the main door himself: "Don't be surprised, Chief Guo. I didn't know you were Princess Pingyang's guest. Please come in quickly."

Guests at the Princess's residence?

Guo Jie frowned and glanced at Wei Guang beside him. It suddenly dawned on him that only Princess Pingyang's guests could ride the precious red-maned horse. It was obvious that Wei Guang had secretly ridden the red-maned horse and mistook him for a guest of the princess's residence.

Right.

The red-maned horse is equivalent to the Red Flag sedan with a flag, and it also has a Beijing A license plate. When you go to the countryside, you will definitely receive a high-level reception from the leading cadres you meet.

Guo Jie walked into the main gate of Jiashe courtyard. In addition to Zhang Qian and Wei Guang, he was accompanied by five knights in crimson robes. If he had not seen the red-maned horse, he probably would not have let anyone in.

He walked into Jia Ziguang's Jiashe courtyard and soon saw a flat land. Many servants were feeding horses, retting flax, and reeling silk. It was a scene of a manor where production and life were integrated.

Guo Jie was overjoyed.

If the granary of the manor is found, the stored corn, sorghum and other grains will definitely be more than those in the houses in the neighborhood.

Before wiping out the Jia family of Nanyang, you need to find the granary in the Jiashe courtyard first.

In order to prevent Jia Ziguang from dying together with him, he set fire to all the granaries.

"Wait a moment, Chief."

The guard just wanted to get the people, no, the community ghosts, out as soon as possible: "The clerk immediately fetched the official register and gave it to the guard to count the number of people and see if the number of night watchmen was correct."

Fu Ji was the corvée system of the Han Dynasty, also known as Ming Ji. All males of the appropriate age of fifteen had to be registered and begin to serve corvée, starting at the age of fifteen and ending at the age of sixty.

Those registered with the Fu family stay in their own county for one year and go to the capital or the border for another year. They are called regular soldiers.

In addition, they had to serve for one month, responsible for building city walls, roads, and transporting supplies, and were replaced at the end of their service, so they were called Gengzu.

The members of the Nanyang Jia family will need to serve as soldiers next month.

"Not in a hurry."

Guo Jie chuckled, looking around the courtyard of Jiashe like a corrupt official who came to ask for extra gifts. "It will take quite a while to count the number of night watchmen. What's the matter? I came here and you won't even give me a drink?"

The powerful clansmen were unwilling to perform corvee labor, so every year they would take the opportunity to bribe the officials who took charge of registering the household registers and arrange for their household slaves to perform the heavy corvee labor instead.

The officials accepted the money and turned a blind eye when some people were sent to perform labor service.

"call."

Ting Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was just using Fu Ji to ask for benefits.

He looked at the heroes of Chang'an fighting tigers with his bare hands and felt contempt for them. Not long after he took office, he began to ask for benefits.

The so-called hand-flapped tiger is just a reputation promoted by others.

It's just an empty name.

Tinghou and other descendants of the Jia family could not help but begin to look down on the corrupt official Guo Jie.
