The lady is busy farming

Chapter 1789 There is news

While talking, Chun Zhi had already poured half of a pot into their vegetable bowl, seeing Qiangwei being so generous, Liu's two daughters-in-law gave Qiangwei a grateful look.Life is hard now, and the child has not eaten meat for a long time.

When eating, Qiangwei tentatively picked up a plate of smoked fish in front of her. Although the color looked quite dark from the outside, she did not expect the taste to be really good, not only chewy, but also had a strong smoky flavor.

For this taste, Qiangwei likes it very much, she never thought that the unattractive smoked fish is so delicious.

Qiangwei took a piece and sent it to Xuanyuan Yun's bowl, and motioned him to taste it. It feels good to share her favorite taste.If you can, you can buy some to take back when you leave. Whether it is a gift or a meal for yourself, it is a good choice.

It’s not easy to come out, and I have to bring some local specialties back.

After a meal, Qiangwei was very satisfied. Seeing that they were still drinking, she went to the yard by herself.Looking at the stars in the sky and smelling the strong smell of the sea, Qiangwei actually felt very comfortable.

At this time, the coast still retains the most primitive state, and even the local fishermen have a sense of simplicity.Looking at their current situation, it's hard to imagine that the coastal areas will be full of tourist cities with a strong commercial atmosphere in a few years' time.

If it wasn't for something else, Qiangwei really wanted to stay and play for a few days, and take a look at how the local fishermen make a living by fishing.

"What are you looking at? Do you still want to go to the beach and enjoy the sea breeze?"

At the moment Qiangwei was distracted, Xuanyuan Yun was standing behind her at some point.

"Have you finished eating?" Qiangwei turned around, took Xuanyuan Yun's arm and walked towards the gate, "I ate too much meat at night, let's go and digest."

Of course, Xuanyuan Yun would not refuse Qiangwei's proposal. Although the night was somewhat damp and cold, the temperature here was still much higher than that in Shangjing.

Stepping on the soft sand, Qiangwei couldn't help sighing when she thought about passing through other counties and cities, "The fishermen's life in Weihai County is barely passable. After walking all the way, the life here is relatively comfortable."

Knowing that Xuanyuan Yun had something on his mind, Qiangwei couldn't help comforting her.

"Young girl is right. It looks good now, thanks to the good governance of the previous county magistrate. But now the county magistrate has changed, and it won't be long before this place will be the same as other counties." Walking along the way, they Everyone can see how the passing village is.

Village head Liu has received an order from the county, and the task of miscellaneous taxes has been distributed to every household.It won't be long before Weihai County will follow in the footsteps, and then another group of people will drag their families to flee famine.

"Did you say that the former county magistrate was Wei Zhongxin? Was he the father of Huzai?" In fact, Qiangwei already believed what Huzai said, but now it has been confirmed again.

"Well, the girl is right, it is indeed Wei Zhongxin. Village Chief Liu is still very supportive of Wei Zhongxin. Since Weihai County changed the county magistrate, pressure from all sides has come one after another. I heard that the county is still there. Recruit strong men. This alone is tricky, there is no war right now, why do you need so many strong men?"

As Xuanyuan Yun spoke, his face became much heavier.Although he doesn't have strong evidence right now, just recruiting strong men is a violation of the court's legal system.

"Aunt Liu also said that their family will also share a quota. If no one is involved, they will get money. Two taels of silver per person is indeed a difficult situation for the people right now." Qiangwei said, stretching out her hand to pat He patted Xuanyuan Yun's arm, "There is no war right now, what do you think they want to chop up so many husbands? They say they are feeding the horses with hay. Are there so many horses along the coast?"

"There are not many war horses along the coast, and the soldiers here are good at water warfare. But if it is said that the recruitment of strong men is to consolidate the fortifications, it can be said in the past." Even so, such a large-scale recruitment of strong men is not good for the court and disturbs the normal life of the people. Life is all about making big mistakes.

"Listen to you, is there something tricky about it?" Qiangwei doesn't know much about politics, but she intuitively thinks that the current situation is unreasonable.

"Well, news will come by tomorrow night at the latest. Wait patiently." Xuanyuan Yun took Qiangwei's hand and slipped around on the beach.Just as he was about to go back, Dongfeng appeared in front of him with all his efforts pretending to be a boy.

"Master, the person who inquired about the news is back."

"Say," Xuanyuan Yun was startled, and looked at Qiangwei, "Girl also stay and listen, maybe she can give me a different point of view."

"Okay," Qiangwei didn't refuse Xuanyuan Yun's suggestion, anyway, she came out with him this time, not just for fun.

The young man clasped his fists at Xuanyuan Yun and saluted, "Master, my subordinates are coming from Yancheng. The city lord of Yancheng has been issuing notices to the counties to recruit young men, but they will also arrest some young men along the way, saying that they are repairing the fortifications." , but the subordinates found that all the strong men they caught in private were secretly sent away."

"Where are you going?"

"The subordinates have been tracking for a few days and found a barracks in a mountain depression. Every day there are people in charge of training soldiers. Moreover, the soldiers they train are the young men they have captured in various places. Because they are very cautious around them, the subordinates cannot approach them immediately. Come back and tell the master to decide."

"Arranging troops privately?" Xuanyuan Yun raised his eyebrows, who is so bold, dare to station troops in private, is this a rebellion? "Do you know the general leading the troops?"

"I don't know, but in addition to the soldiers, there are many war horses. My subordinates guess that there should be a strong cavalry battalion among them."

Listening to what the young man said, Xuanyuan Yun and Qiangwei couldn't help but look at each other, no wonder they wanted to recruit husbands.It turns out that there are really war horses to raise.

It's just who is responsible for such a rebellious thing?This is obviously the rhythm of rebellion!
"Is there any other movement in Yancheng? Since the recruitment of young men was ordered by the city lord of Yancheng, although the statement is different, the thing is the same. You turn around and ask people to focus on monitoring the city lord Yan to see who he has been in contact with most frequently recently." Xuanyuan Yun As he said that, his eyes narrowed. It would be absolutely impossible for someone to instigate such a blatant and blatant repair of the plank road.Can he still be the lord of the country himself?
"Yes, whether it's on the side of the mountain or the city lord's mansion, the subordinates have sent people to watch day and night. If there is any movement, we will get news immediately." The young man clasped his fists in his hands and promised with a serious face.

"Well, let the brothers be careful, don't startle the snake." Xuanyuan Yun looked at the young man in front of him, and patted him on the shoulder very satisfied.
