When the sky was still dark, the gate opened, and a group of servants started tidying up the yard lightly. Mr. Wang was not lucky enough to sleep in. He would wake up automatically at dawn every day. Hit, and be beaten to death. Thinking about those who were beaten to the ground or dragged to mass graves, none of the servants in the Wang family dared to be lazy.
"Why, this place will be Dayue in the future?" Master Wang said coldly while walking in the yard. The steward following behind him bowed his head and said, "Yes, the news of Yu Wenshu's surrender is confirmed." Master Wang snorted coldly: "Yu Wenshu is nothing more than that." He thought that Yu Wenshu had won Daqi's city, and his troops were strong and his horses were strong. Hu Xueting would be hacked to death. I didn't expect it to be so useless.
"It's a good thing after all to be able to not use weapons." The butler followed Master Wang in small steps with a smile on his face. Master Wang strolled around again to exercise his hands and feet, and finally stopped. The housekeeper hurriedly handed over the teapot and teacup in his hand. Master Wang took a sip slowly, took a rest, and then said: "Go ask Lao San to clean things up."
The housekeeper responded respectfully, and quickly walked out of Wang's house and only walked a few steps to the county government office. He didn't need to knock on the door, and walked in directly. A few yawning yamen servants greeted with a smile: "Butler Li, have you eaten yet?"
Steward Li shook his head and asked, "Has the third master gotten up yet?" The yamen servants laughed: "I've woken up a long time ago."
People in the Wang family are very hardworking. Whether it is Master Wang or his sons, even the third son who has become a county magistrate, after getting used to the rhythm of life of Master Wang, they get up at dawn every day and go to bed early. The yamen was opened.
Butler Li quickly stepped into the hall, and the county magistrate was sitting there.
"Third Master." Butler Li cupped his hands.
"Oh, master, what's the matter?" The county magistrate asked lightly, and the warm soybean milk in his hand was filled with aroma.
"My lord asked me to keep things clean." Butler Li didn't dare to change a single word.
The county magistrate nodded: "Understood." Recently, the Dawang flag at the head of the city has changed repeatedly, from Daqi's flag to Yuwenshu's flag, and before I got familiar with the new flag, it became Hu Xueting's flag again. The world is really chaotic, but this chaotic world is the opportunity to make a fortune. It is too low-level to forcefully buy good fields and shops at low prices, and forcefully sell worthless items at high prices. The county magistrate or the Wang family disdains doing it. , either a member of the Wang family or an in-law of the Wang family, where can the people sue if they are dissatisfied? Go to the county or the capital to sue the imperial court? Not to mention whether there is a "road guide", just say that someone from above came to investigate, how can they investigate? Didn't you ask various officials, squires, and petty officials to inquire? Could it be that my family still speaks ill of my family? The reason why the county magistrate and the Wang family disdain to do it is because there is no room for usurpation.
The Wang family and several in-laws have taken root in the local area for two to three hundred years. What good things in this small county town do not belong to them? Walking down the street, from the ready-to-wear store at the corner of the street to the steamed stuffed bun shop at the end of the street, which one is not owned by them? Walking outside the city, as far as the eye can see, which acre of land does not belong to them? If you catch a passer-by on the street, who doesn't rely on them for food and clothing?
In the small county town, several of them have reached the top, and there is no chance for others to insert a needle, so who can they take by force?
What the county magistrate and the Wang family can do in this chaotic world where the emperor is constantly rotating is to revise the county government's financial books.
There is no need to change the number of acres of land. The major event of registering hundreds of thousands of acres of land as only a few hundred acres was completed a hundred years ago. The royal family is still willing to pay taxes for these hundreds of acres; Change, the account book has never been correct, and every account is satisfactory to them and has no flaws, so there is no need to change it.
What the county magistrate wants to change is the number of people and the number of soldiers killed in battle.
Adding and subtracting the numbers of the foreign population on the books, it asks for more money from the top, and conceals the poll tax from the bottom; the dead soldiers on the books that don't exist at all are used to ask for credit from the top , to be compensated. Every time a boss is changed, who knows that there have been floods, fires and military disasters in this small county before? It's not just writing casually. Even if you can't get a large amount of pensions and appropriations, you can still get some evaluations of "diligence" and "loyalty to serve the country". Tree several plaques.
This kind of trivial matter is actually risk-free, even if the court is bad, it may not be severely punished. Who will stop doing things like concealing the population, falsely reporting famines, and falsely reporting heroes? It's just saving some taxes. It's neither embezzlement nor bribery. It's not even a victim. Most of the time when the king's flag at the head of the city is changing, he will turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and let this matter pass by."Yes." Yu Wenshu said seriously, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of Xuzhou, and said, "Yu Juluo is a stubborn and inflexible person, if he thinks that the old man intends to abandon Yang Yu, or even assists Hu Xueting to fight against Yang Yu on purpose, Yujuluo definitely regards the old man as a traitor, and desperately wants to destroy my Yuwen faction. Why did my Yuwen faction provoke Yujuluo? I can fool him with words, thinking that Yang Xu is powerless to return to heaven, although the old man's heart is in Yang Xuan, But I can only face the reality, from now on I will be a stranger to this old man but have no hatred, that would be the best."
Yu Wenhuaji nodded vigorously, and with a flash of inspiration, he lost his voice and said: "So that's the case, no wonder my father didn't establish a country!" Without a country name, whether it is a rebellious intention to rebel against the generals, or a disheartened and lonely one, basically depends on it. Yu Wenshu explained it.
Yu Wenshu smiled: "You are finally qualified." To be a human being, you must see far and leave a way out for yourself before the overall situation is settled. There is no advantage in establishing a country and proclaiming the emperor, but you have no way out. Whoever is a fool.
Yu Wenhua and his experience of Yu Wenshu's words and deeds, the more he thought about it, the more aftertaste it became, and suddenly something was unclear.
"Father, why did Yujuluo conclude that you did not surrender to Hu Xueting for your own prosperity?" Yu Wenhuaji slowly recalled the conversation between Yuwenshu and Yujuluo. Yu Wenshu said several times, "Why do you want to be rich now" and "Meet your old friends before you die", every sentence revealed the meaning of dying, but Yu Juluo was not surprised, as if he knew it already.
Yu Wenhua and the doubts in his heart gathered together, and there was only one explanation that could penetrate all the doubts: "Could it be that the first letter of surrender written by father to Hu Xueting fell into the hands of Yu Juluo?"
"Yes!" Yu Wenshu smiled.
Yu Wenhuaji held back the shock in his heart, and continued to ask: "Could it be that this was written by father on purpose for Yu Juluo?"
Yu Wenshu looked at Yu Wenhuaji, and smiled faintly: "Yes!"
"Could it be that father is not seriously ill?" Yu Wenhuaji continued to ask.
Yu Wenshu said seriously: "Yes!"
Yu Wenhuaji's mind was spinning wildly, was this just to deceive Yu Juluo?
"Of course not." Yu Wenshu smiled. "The old man said that he is willing to cut him into pieces to protect the blood of the Yuwen clan. Are you sure that the old man is dying?"
Yu Wenhuaji nodded slowly. Suddenly there was a person who was willing to sacrifice his life for the safety of his family. A fool would think that the biggest possibility is that this person has a terminal illness and won't live for a few years.
"Yeah, that's what Yu Juluo thinks." Yu Wenshu smiled. He was able to leave Xuzhou safely today, except that Yu Juluo was bluffed by "Yang Huan is powerless to return to heaven". Time is running out, and killing him will not help.
"Tell me, does Hu Xueting think the same way?" Yu Wenshu smiled.
Yu Wenhuaji nodded vigorously, he must think so too!
He grinned, if Hu Xueting had been deceived, he might not have killed Yu Wenshu.
"My Yuwen valve is very likely to be safe and sound!"
