Dandere General and his Lord

Mo Qiaosheng crossed his hands and saluted, "I also ask the prince to forgive his sins. The master of the slave has something to do with the slave. I really don't dare to delay. Please forgive the slave and retire first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped out of the corner door in two steps, unfolded his movements, rose and fell a few times, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Hua Yu looked directly at the figure who couldn't catch up, and his face sank, "Hmph, the Jinyue Hou is arrogant and domineering, and now people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now even a lowly old slave dares to be so careless to the old man. present."

...

Cheng Qianye was walking along the path in the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion, discussing with Xiao Jin the issue of the refugees' winter resettlement.

There was a slight rustling from the trees on the edge of the fence.

The guards immediately raised their halberds and shouted, "Who?"

A man fell on the wall, and the man fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

It was Mo Qiaosheng.

Cheng Qianye stepped forward and touched the head that was lying on the ground: "What's wrong with Qiaosheng, he came to me in a panic so late."

Mo Qiaosheng raised his head and saw the most reassuring smiling face in the world.

He unknowingly said the fear in his heart, "Master, don't give me back to Weibeihou. I will definitely work hard, and I will be much more useful than that huáng horse."

Cheng Qianye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she pulled Mo Qiaosheng up and waved goodbye to Xiao Jin.

In the eyes of everyone, she took her "boy favorite" by the hand and slowly paced away in the moonlight.

The voice of the lord's voice could be heard faintly in the wind.

"It's so stupid and cute, let alone a horse, even if it's a city, I won't change it for you."

"Hey, are you hungry? Can't you get enough to eat in the barracks? Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Chapter 16

Cheng Qianye, Zhang Fu, and Xiao Jin were sitting in the carriage that went out of the city.

"When will the Weibeihou leave? He doesn't want to stay in our Bianzhou for the New Year." Cheng Qianye said angrily.

"I hate him so much, I have to show a smile to him. Zhang Fu, think of a way to let him go away."

Zhang Fu was slightly surprised: "Master thinks I can do this?"

Cheng Qianye patted his shoulder with a smile: "In my heart, Duke Zhang is omnipotent."

Do you think you are still a white lotus in my heart? This is the kind of thing for a black-bellied man like you to do.

However, Xiao Jin thought: The Marquis of Weibei just bullied Mo Qiaosheng the day before yesterday, and the lord has been brooding in his heart. It seems that the slave's weight in the princess' heart is indeed not low. I just don't know if he... already knows the identity of the princess.

Xiao Jin glanced at Cheng Qianye who was raising the curtain of the car and looking out the window.

Her gleaming white face glowed brightly under the warm winter sun.

Although the princess is a woman, she is free and easy, and her demeanor seems to be not as restrained and delicate as ordinary women. These days, she gradually got used to the status of the lord, and day by day she seemed calm and steady.

For so long, no outsider has discovered the secret of their stealing.

Xiao Jin thought like this: If that Mo Qiaosheng is really favored by the princess and becomes a close person, it is not impossible, but you must help the princess to observe his behavior.

Cheng Qianye looked at the barren fields outside the window that could not be seen at a glance, turned around, stretched out his fingers and clicked on the cases at hand. He attracted the attention of Xiao Jin and Zhang Fu.

"I want to implement a policy to abolish the existing well-field system and adopt the land-granting system."

"The system of granting land? What is the system of granting land?" Xiao Jin and Zhang Fu asked in unison.

In fact, it is not called the land grant system. I have already returned it to the history teacher for the specific name. It is just that I have a little impression of this system, and Cheng Qianye felt ashamed in his heart.

She dipped a little water in the teacup with her fingers and drew a small circle and a large circle on the table.

"Bianzhou is here, Dajin is there. If we want to continue to expand our territory from Bianzhou." Cheng Qianye drew a few lines with his fingertips dipped in water, and opened his five fingers, "We must continue to expand our territory. They recruit troops from the Jin State, and allocate grain and grass from within the country. They travel thousands of miles, and the loss is huge. It means that the people have come to fight, and there will be a shortage of people to grow grain, right?"

Zhang Fu pondered for a while, stretched out his slender fingers, and tapped the small circle.

"Yes, that's what I think. Divide the abandoned land to those refugees on a per capita basis, and encourage land reclamation." Cheng Qianye leaned slightly, "We can post a notice, as long as we are willing to enter our Jin state household registration, and do not move at will. No matter what. Whoever the country is, is granted a certain amount of land. I can also exempt them from taxes in the first year."

She put her hand away: "In this way, our warriors of the Jin Dynasty will expand their territory in the front, and there will be a steady stream of logistical support in the rear."

Zhang Fu's eyes brightened: "This matter is indeed feasible, but many details still need to be carefully scrutinized. For example, how old a man can be granted land, how much each person can be granted, and whether some of the fertile land they receive belongs to the country, and some of them are allowed. Private sale..."

Cheng Qianye was very happy to see Zhang Fu hit it off with him.

However, Xiao Jin frowned and raised an objection: "Land originally belongs to the nobles and the state, and the common people have never been able to privately own it. This move is detrimental to the interests of the aristocratic family, and I am afraid that it will attract resistance from domestic scholars and officials. The foundation is still unstable, and changes cannot be made lightly, and I hope the lord thinks twice."

Cheng Qianye knew that the two people's completely different opinions were caused by their different attitudes towards themselves.

Xiao Jin is more loyal to himself,

Therefore, his priority is the stability and safety of Cheng Qianye's personal status.

Zhang Fu valued the growth and prosperity of the Jin state, so he supported Cheng Qianye to make this kind of change with certain risks.

In any case, these two do have keen political talents, and they can pinpoint the key points of the problem in Cheng Qianye's few words.

Cheng Qianye, who has absorbed thousands of years of knowledge and culture, does not seem to have any advantages in front of these two great talents.

Cheng Qianye patiently explained and discussed with Xiao Jin: "Xiao Sikou is right. At the beginning, we can leave the fiefs of the nobles and nobles in Jin. Bianzhou is a newly conquered state, and there are no owners everywhere. The land. I want to be a pilot in Bianzhou."

"If it is feasible, I will implement this system in the future, but I will expand the territory and expand the territory in the future. In the future, people who have made great achievements in the Jin Dynasty will no longer be awarded land, but will only be rewarded with gold and silver titles. As for the existing fiefs, you say That's right, you can keep it unchanged for now, and slowly figure it out."

Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment: "Bianzhou has a lot to be done. The lord has a very good reputation here, but... you can really give it a try."

Zhang Fu was silent, but he thought in his heart: "I have some misunderstandings. Now it seems that the lord is also an ambitious person, and this pattern... is not small."

When the carriage arrived at the Bianshui River, Cheng Qianye jumped out of the carriage, and Biyun, the maid who had previously bought on the roadside, hurried up to serve.

Behind her followed her sister Xiaoqiu.

Biyun is relatively stable. Although she looks ordinary, she has a delicate and thoughtful mind.

And Xiaoqiu was still young, and after staying with Cheng Qianye for a few days, he gradually regained his cheerful and lively nature, and his waxy little face also looked a little fair and round.

Cheng Qianye liked these two little girls very much, and he often took them with him when he went out, so that their sisters could also come out and let loose, and not be overly restrained by the new environment.

She took Xiaoqiu's hand and asked, "Xiaoqiu, tell me, why don't your parents farm in their hometown and would rather be exiled to Bianzhou?"

Xiaoqiu replied: "I don't have any fields to plant in my family, and all the good fields are occupied by the noble masters. After planting a large piece of public fields for the noble masters every year, they can only be distributed to my family's thin fields on the hillside. I have to do a lot of hard labor and I can't feed my whole family. My youngest brother starved to death."

Biyun replied: "Reporting to the lord, the lord of the previous hometown would arrest people to fight at any time, and there are not one out of ten young people in the village. My father is the only adult man in my family. We left a family of young and old to starve to death at home, and that’s how we escaped with us.”

Biyun lowered his head: "But after fleeing here, I encountered the same war. My mother and father had no choice but to sell our sisters to support my brother."

"If you give your family a piece of land that belongs to you, and only pay 30% of the tax every year, do you think your parents will want to move there?"

"That's for sure, not only my parents, but my whole village will want to move to it. It belongs to my own land. That's what I want in my dreams. My father will definitely take care of it. Make good use of every inch of land. superior."

Cheng Qianye patted her hand, "It will be there soon."

Zhang Fu and Xiao Jin exchanged glances with each other, and saw a kind of relief in each other's eyes.
