The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 277: Silly brother, I lied to you
Zhao Yunchu rode his horse on the official road, recalling that when he went out, he pulled Zhao Yundi's sleeve and thanked him movedly: "Third brother, thank you, I will not forget your good..."
Zhao Yundi sighed in the sky: "Don't say it, I feel like my leg will be broken again this time."
Zhao Yunchu was locked at home by Zhao Yuanyan and the princess and could not go out. Thanks to Zhao Yundi's secret co-operation, he picked him up and arranged the formalities along the way.
Zhao Yunchu rushed to Yizhou, resting for a short time every day, and finally arrived with Bai Yutang, who was going to Yizhou with a transfer order.
Bai Yutang has proved his identity and has made peace with Zhizhou and officers. He is asking about the local situation and thinking about how to rescue people smoothly.
The terrain on which the officers are stationed is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid that if one is bad, I will ask those officers to come and burn all the jade.
When Zhao Yun first arrived, he also claimed to be from Tokyo, but there was no order to make people think he was a fake, so he was surrounded at that time. Fortunately, Bai Yutang was on the side when he was reporting. He heard something was wrong, so he called to take a look, only to find out that it was Zhao Yunchu.
"Why are you here?" Bai Yutang thought about it, Zhao Yunchu didn't make any orders, and immediately said, "Are you leaving Beijing privately?"
Zhao Yunchu nodded silently.
If Zhao Yunchu wanted to leave the capital to go to Yizhou, he not only had to have the consent of his parents, but also the approval of the official family, but he escaped, so he didn't care about going to the palace, he was completely private.
"I didn't expect you to have such courage, good! Let's come together!" Bai Yutang was originally from Jianghu, but he felt that Zhao Yunchu did a good job. Yun Yan is in trouble, and these friends are coming to help, let alone disobeying orders, even if the official is lost, it is worthwhile.
Bai Yutang hid it from Zhao Yunchu, and then discussed how to act together.
Because of the official's order, Zhizhou from Yizhou was also present. Although he didn't understand it, he listened carefully, for fear that no one would be able to save him and his official career would be over.
Zhizhou was also tired. At first, when the imperial doctor came to report, he was a little anxious. At that time, he only knew that Zhou Huilin's father was a high-ranking official.
Who knows that someone will soon come with the emperor's order. Only at this time did Zhizhou realize that among the people who were kidnapped, not only Zhou Huilin's identity was important. There is another named Yun Yanhui. It is difficult to describe the imperial doctor Wang, but although this person is only a small official, he is the confidant of Bao Xianggong and the favorite minister of the official family.
This frightened Zhizhou. Such bad things happened within his jurisdiction. Now that people are rescued, and then they are severely disciplined, it can only be said that it is a remedy. I wonder if they will settle accounts in the autumn.
Zhizhou wished he could come up with the best idea to save people and make up for his mistakes.
So with the sincere cooperation of everyone, a consensus was reached. It's best to send someone to contact them first, and use money to replace them first. You have to make up a better excuse. Don't let these people know the identities of Zhou Huilin and Yun Yanhui, otherwise they will be in a hurry. .
Be sure to wait until everyone is safe before attacking, and teach these officers a lesson.
We are discussing here, and suddenly someone came to report and found that a large number of Tu people appeared outside Yizhou City with weapons, looking like they were going to have something to do.
Everyone was startled. They were thinking about how to rescue people quietly, and then teach them a lesson. There is something going on there?
Ask again and let go of half of my heart. Those Tu people were not Liao people, but Miao people from Guizhou.
But Zhizhou couldn't help but jumped into a rage: "What happened to the people in Guizhou, so many Miao people acted under their noses like this, and when they reached the boundary of Yizhou, I didn't know until they went outside the city! What do people want to do?!"
It stands to reason that the Miao people have all surrendered, but due to the perennial instability in the Guangnan area, Zhizhou has no confidence in this, and is worried that the Miao people will turn against them again. At this time, it was really worse.
The army was afraid that the Miao people would enter the city and harass the people, so they quickly stopped them. When the other party saw that they were aggressive, they also took a stance...
Just as this was about to happen, the two sides communicated before the battle, and the misunderstanding was resolved.
Allies!
The news quickly spread to the two sides. Although the language was different, because they had the same goal, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Zhao Yunchu couldn't wait to know, why would the Miao people know that Yun Yanhui was arrested?
Zhizhou is also very surprised. You know, with the tough temper of the Miao people, this is really not easy.
At the beginning, the Shi family and the Guizhou government were very insensitive. Even when they were weak, they dared to fight for their lost son. If it hadn't been for the little tiger to be found later, I would have dared to die endlessly.
When Zhizhou knew that the confidant of Bao Xianggong who was **** the mountain was the same person who rescued Shi Meilan's son, he was relieved.
No wonder Shi Meilanken worked so hard. Miao people are very affectionate, Yun Yan rescued her son, of course she wants to help.
But the question goes back to the original point, how did Shi Meilan know?
The two sides joined forces, and Shi Meilan said with a puzzled look: "Zhufeng didn't try to report to you? Oh yes, it's not easy for the officials to go to the government."
"What? A staff member?" Shi Meilan's words made everyone a little confused.
"Yeah." Shi Meilan brought over the staff member who reported the letter. He had already been tricked by her. Even if he wasn't bound, he was honest.
The messenger, trembling, told the truth about their situation on the mountain. After Yun Yanhui rubbed off the gag cloth, and when he came down the mountain, Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin had already lived in a separate room...
Everyone: "..."
They are here to make up for Yun Yanhui and were tortured miserably by the staff. They didn't expect that they were actually very happy... Can you say that it is Brother Yan? In fact, it should be the kidnappers who should be worried!
Zhao Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Alright..."
Although there is nothing wrong with Brother Yan, he doesn't regret escaping from Beijing. Until then, who can be sure of the situation. Although Brother Yan was stable enough, he couldn't help but worry.
The arrival of Shi Meilan, and the news she brought, solved the biggest problem. First of all, it was confirmed that Yun Yanhui was in a good situation, and secondly, they didn't have to worry about how to redeem Yun Yanhui - Yun Yanhui had already negotiated it above!
It was really the best choice for him to ask the Miao people for help. If the counterparty of the negotiation is the government, no matter how good the reason is, the officials will doubt it.
Originally, Bai Yutang wanted to find out the terrain, so he secretly went up the mountain, restrained the leader of the staff, and captured the thief first.
……
When Shi Meilan and Zhao Yunchu's group met and prepared to act, Yun Yanhui had been on the mountain for more than half a month.
In the past half a month, Yun Yanhui has almost become the most popular person in the stockade.
Zhou Huilin's injury has also been healed. Yunyan will give him some meat from time to time to replenish his body. He can't do anything if he wants to exercise, and he doesn't have to work. He has a ruddy complexion. catty.
As for Yunyan Hui, she deals with the colleagues in the stockade every day and learns their language, so she is very busy.
He taught the people in the stockade how to cook, and he also cared about the agricultural life here.
Gradually, Yun Yanhui completely regarded the days of living in the mountains as a field trip. These colleagues who tied Yun Yanhui, in his eyes, are a group of inspection objects and materials.
Among the Tu people in Guangnan, they are very representative. By observing them, we can grasp the living conditions of each Tu people in Guangnan.
The implementation of the chieftain system in Guangnan was actually reminded by Yun Yanhui, and since then he has been more concerned about the policy here. The imperial court hoped to sinicize the Tu people and promote the Han culture, and also planned to recruit the Tu people as officials in the future. It is also important to make real changes to their daily lives. At this point, the policy is far from complete.
Yunyan returned to strolling in the stockade, chatting with the staff, and getting to know the situation.
The leader originally thought that Yun Yan had a bad intentions and wanted to torture him if he wanted to do something in the future.
In the end, Yunyan replied righteously and said: "In the future, our chieftain wants to lead everyone to develop together, I just want to help my brothers. I found that this mountain field is relatively barren and the food harvest is not high, which makes everyone always If you don't have enough to eat, go down the mountain to 'hunt'. However, this situation can't be changed. We Miao people are farming, and now we will first spread the grass and fertile fields, which are natural fertilizers, which can increase grain production."
The official name of the grass is astragalus, also known as safflower. It is a good green manure and is also resistant to cold. It grows very well on the mountain. It can also be used to feed livestock, which is very convenient.
Don't talk about it now, it is still used by many mountain people in China thousands of years later. Moreover, in those days, it had another use besides fertilizing fields. That is to attract tourists to watch every time when the large scale of Astragalus is in full bloom.
The truth of what Yunyan said back is actually half and half. He saw Ziyunying in Miao Village, and saw that people only knew that it could feed cattle and horses, and did not specifically plant it.
Because Yun Da had just passed away, Yun Yanhui didn't talk to Shi Meilan with great interest. He only mentioned that he could collect more grass seeds and spread them in the fields to fertilize the fields.
Shi Meilan agreed, but the time was so short, of course, unlike what Yun Yanhui said, it seemed to have become a routine.
But the information is not developed at this time, who knows what's going on in other people's nests. The leader was startled and a little convinced, after all, the Miao people are now richer than them, but he wondered why Yun Yanhui would tell him such an important thing.
That grass has grown on many hillsides. It has never been poisoned by humans and animals for so many years. Instead, it can be used as medicine. But Fei Tian, but no one has confirmed it. He can't guarantee that people and animals will not die if they eat it, and whether it will increase or decrease production when planted in the ground.
Yun Yanhui saw the leader's suspicion and didn't care, smiled and continued: "I see that there are very few cattle in the stockade, and each one is thinner than the other..."
"No matter how thin you are, you can't eat!" The leader shouted in a hurry.
I don't know how many animals this guy has killed since he was in the stockade. At first, it was from him. Later, it is said that he used his name to swindle in the stockade... It can't be said to swindle, just claim to borrow it, and it will be doubled.
There are examples of leaders in the past, and Yun Yanhui is always boasting about their Miao village. Everyone knows that Shi Meilan is with the Han people, so of course they believe it.
This is not the first time that Yun Yanhui wants to eat this beef. Now that he mentions farming cattle, the first thought of the leader is that he is thinking about his own farming cattle. So much has been said before, it really is just a pretense.
Yunyan replied innocently: "What to eat or not to eat, I mean, there are not enough cattle, everyone can't finish the farm work, can you try to buy new farm tools. The emperor of the Han people is recently promoting a kind of The new farming tools have already been used in our stockade. It can not only till the muddy soil, but also drive the mountains. It is called a plough, and you can use your feet to step the plough into the ground. It looks like this..."
Yunyan gave the leader a gesture of the shape of the plough, and the expert looked at the doorway. When the leader saw this, he felt that it was more reliable and more maneuverable than other grasses.
This is of course, the imperial court has a department specializing in research and improvement of agricultural tools, but all the implementations have gone through countless designs and attempts. Stepping on the plow, I don't know how many poor people it has benefited.
The leader was moved, "You have already started using it? How is the situation?"
This is true. The imperial court introduced new farm tools. Because of the good relationship between the Miao villages, they had already tried them out. Other Tu people have a bad relationship with the government, and even if the court asks them to use it, they will not accept it.
The communication between the two sides is not good at all, the degree of sinicization is not high, and the decree cannot be implemented.
Yunyan replied: "With a plough, one person can plough five or six points of land a day, more than four inches deep!"
Relying on manpower, can you cultivate five or six points of land in one day? !
"Scared!" The leader rubbed his hands, "Where is this government office, do you think you can grab it?"
Yunyan has returned to the black line, so why use robbing everything, "No need to rob, you can take the plough ahead of time, and return the government grain after the harvest, which is not expensive. Or rent it - of course, It is more cost-effective to own it.”
The leader doesn't agree with the fact that it should be used for a fee, so he wants to grab it directly.
Yun Yanhui felt that it was impossible to talk to him now, so he didn't persuade him anymore. Anyway, after he got out of trouble, who would call the shots...
……
When the messenger came back, he also brought two Miao people. They led horses and brought a lot of supplies to redeem Yunyanhui and Zhou Huilin.
Knowing that Yun Yanhui ate a lot of food here, when he wanted to return it doubled, he didn't say anything, and took the equivalent of Han Chinese copper coins to repay.
Because these days, in addition to stepping on the plow and the grass, Yun Yanhui also gave a lot of good ideas to the stockade, many of which were immediately confirmed to be correct, and everyone's affection for him greatly increased.
The leader was also quite moved. With the idea of staying on the front line and seeing each other well in the future, he did not take the opportunity to extort him again, but personally sent Yunyan back to them down the mountain.
"It would be great if you were from our stockade!" The leader sighed, "If you hadn't already married, I would have married my daughter to you. I have never seen a person like you in the cat people. , you can't even find it among the Han people!"
The leader does not know Chinese, otherwise he will praise Yunyan and repay his grievances with virtue.
At the foot of the mountain, the leader and Yunyan waved goodbye, and agreed to keep in touch in the future.
Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin went out for a while. When the leader watched them off, he suddenly found that a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared from under the surrounding trees, in the mountain forest, and in the stone ditch in the distance.
And there were Han people and Miao people, and they drowned Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin at once.
Naturally, the weapons of these people did not return to Yun Yan, but to the side.
The leader was frightened and wanted to run away, but felt his body softened and did not obey. At the same time, a familiar woman among the Miao people stood out from the crowd and sneered a few times at him.
In fact, in the face of so many people, the leader may not be able to escape if he wants to escape, not to mention now, after seeing the person in front of him, he knows that he must be poisoned.
"Shi Meilan...you..." the leader said angrily, "You actually took the opportunity to collude with the Han people to exterminate our staff?"
This is the only reason he can think of. To say that Shi Meilan was angry because he had **** the people in their stockade, and went to Yizhou to kill him, and cooperated with the officers and soldiers... Who would believe it?
He was certain that Shi Meilan was either trying to please the Han people or taking the opportunity to control his colleagues, which was really a wolf's ambition.
The leader was poisoned by the Miao people, and it was difficult to move. There were no leaders in the army, and there were traitors. The Han and Miao troops were numerous. With the poisonous Gu brought by Shi Meilan, even those other captives can be unscathed.
To tell the truth, with the scale of these people, using so many people is like killing chickens with a knife. A considerable part of the people inside are still Miao people who are familiar with the mountains and forests... I am afraid that the people in the stockade would never have imagined that they would face such a situation.
Shi Meilan sneered: "People are poorer and places are poorer, who cares about you?"
The leader glared at her: "That is, the Han people are looking for you to partner, and you can't get rid of it!"
"Don't say that, what's wrong with Tusi Shi, obviously you killed yourself..." The leader saw that "Shi Shan" actually came out of the Han camp, and his jaw almost fell.
Yun Yanhui smiled in front of the leader's worsening face: "Silly brother, I lied to you before."
Leader: "..."
Yunyan said back to Shi Shiran, "If you hadn't **** our imperial officials, how could you have made such a big battle? But don't worry, the role of Tali and Ziyunying It's all true, there are really such good things. Other methods are also true, and I have to write a book to implement them all over Guangnan."
"But what about you guys, maybe you won't have the chance to experience it. Exile? Not good, this place is the most remote and the worst environment. Well, let's go directly to Guizhou next door to dig stones and do labor reform..."
