14. Incident in Chenggu County

At the first moment, Gao Yue realized the seriousness of the problem. After settling down Liu Changqing, he eagerly found Nanzheng County Magistrate Wei Zhiyi from the county government on the east side of the city.

"After this festival, we recruited 2,000 husbands to Micang to open the road. Nanzheng 700, Chenggu 500, Mian County 500, Baocheng 200, and Taurus 100, all of which are evenly distributed. This is not the case in Nanzheng County," Wei Zhiyi said quickly.

Gao Yue frowned and said that Chenggu County is the Baoshui River and there is another iron official. I entrusted him to Weichang (Li Jie) to take care of it. Why did such a big mess happen?

Wei Zhiyi didn't understand why. He said that before, Xingyuan Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture each had their husbands and went to Yuanzhou to build Feng'an City to build a thousand-hu boat. Now they have returned from the service one after another, and each went to the military prefecture and county government to receive the remaining rewards. There was no mistake at such a long distance. There must be something hidden in Chenggu County this time.

At this time, Cai Fengyuan, the general next to Gao Yue, stepped forward and clasped his fists to ask whether to let the capital army commander Gao Gu and the military commander Ximen Can issue an order, and almost the shooting soldiers of our mansion went to capture the fleeing husbands and returned.

"No." Gao Yue raised his hand and said that there must be some conspiracy in this matter. Then he took his hands behind his back and took a few quick steps back and forth in the central hall. "Don't use the local archers in Xingyuan Prefecture to find the envoy Zhao Guangxian in Yangzhou, and transfer three hundred archers from there to wait for my dispatch."

Wei Zhiyi and Cai Fengyuan both understood that Da Yin said this because he did not want to spread the matter locally and cause even greater trouble. After all, this matter is not yet certain.

What's more, Li Jie, the magistrate of Chenggu County, is also the one Dayin loves the most. He is Dayin's true junior brother. He cannot affect his future because of this incident.

That night, three hundred slashers on Xingdao in Yangzhou rushed to the front of the Fucheng Gate.

In the backyard official room, Yun Shao hurriedly put on his husband's clothes. This was the end of summer and early autumn, and he was worried that his husband would get infected with the cold when he was on the way.

At the same time, Sun Tongxuan, the supervisor of Mule House, also arrived. As a local, he was more familiar with the customs and geography, so he was called by Gao Yue. Gao Yue went down the stairs and talked to Sun in a quiet voice. After he had a clear mind, he ordered to set out to the boundary of Chenggu County.

At dawn, three hundred archers were holding torches and standing in Bian Que City southwest of the city. Li Jie, who came to greet him, looked very ugly. He thought about "failed the trust of the head of the roof" - Gao Yue was on the horse, and Cai Fengyuan was wearing armor on his side. Then three hundred archers were standing in the sixth round team, with a horizontal knife on his waist, a crossbow in the front row, and a long arch in the back row, which made Li Jie feel uneasy.

"Weichang, I'm afraid there is a small misunderstanding, it's okay. Let's go to the county party first." Gao Yue stretched out his hand and comforted Li Jie.

Soon, in the Chenggu Gong Party, Gao Yue lived in the hall first, and Li Jie accompanied him sat on the side.

At this time, Gao Yue saw that Li Jie's wife Ge, at the side of the screen in the hall, was looking at her husband with a worried face, as if she was afraid that this would have a great adverse effect on her husband.

No, a gray-bearded Sashi, wearing a patched soap robe, lowered his head and handed the host's name book to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue opened the famous book and saw that the paper had turned yellow and curly. He read a few names and then looked at the seals that were signed afterwards. It was actually the third year of Emperor Daizong's Dali, almost twenty years away from now. He asked the old Zuoshi, "What's your name?"

"Reported to Dayin, his lower position is Huang Wenyu."

"How many years have you been a disciple of the Secretariat in Chenggu County?"

"It's been twenty-three years. When I came to work for my youth, Chenggu County and the entire Liangzhou were besieged by Dangqiang. It was the time when my family donated 50 stones of corn to help the army that I got this foreign official." Huang Wenyu replied honestly.

"Huang Zuoshi, in this way, you are the right-hand man of the county magistrate. Whether it is taxation or recruitment, you have to do it. But this book is still from more than ten years ago. If you don't make any mistakes last time, you can't escape this time."

Huang Wenyu sighed, then looked at the uneasy county magistrate with great concern, and then raised the courage to plead for Li Jie in front of the Great Yin: "Since the country's chaos, many documents have been destroyed. Later, the Holy Lord implemented the new tax law, and the world did not divide the indigenous households and customers, and they were all subject to the same level. In this situation, it was not easy to reorganize the household plan book! This is definitely not the fault of the Lord Li! "

Several other county officials also spoke in unison and avenged Li Jie.

Gao Yue also softened his heart. He sighed and said, "This matter is related to Weichang's future. The reason why a husband escaped was nothing more than a mistake between the household plan book (the official book is the basic book) and the Qaiko Book (the specific list of service) and there was a mistake, which led to repeated service or those who should not be serving but were to be promoted. The households who served were unbearable. One transmission was spread to ten or a hundred times, and they all fled to Tongguanshan."

After a pause, Gao Yue issued a ruling plan - the five hundred husbands who were hiding from Tongguanshan, and the families they took away, Ben Yin did not punish him, but he had to go up to the Mi Cang Road according to the certificate book, otherwise the government would lose his prestige, but Ben Yin could not harm the people themselves. Immediately, Ben Yin asked the Cang Supervisory Office to allocate double the rice and grain from Chiya Pass to the group of husbands to compensate.

There is still something happening today that must not be made public.

Seeing that the county magistrate Li Jie was fine, Huang Wenyu and other assistants were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to thank Dayin for his kindness.

Behind the screen, Ge exhaled a long sigh, turned his back to wipe the tears shed due to concern, and thanked the Bodhisattva for his blessing.

Li Jie felt guilty and wanted to keep Gao Yue in Chenggu County, and he wanted to hold a banquet in person to thank the shed.

Gao Yue just patted Li Jie on the shoulder and said, "Wei Chang, you are too dissatisfied, why should you and I be together in the same shed? Now the road of renovation is urgent. I will go back to the city to issue a certificate to allocate grain. You can persuade the group of recruited husbands who passed through the mountain as soon as possible."

After Gao Yue returned to Xingyuan Prefecture, Li Jie did not dare to neglect and led the three hundred archers, and took Zushi Huang Wenyu and others to ride a horse to Tongguan Mountain 130 miles north of the county.

It took me three days to reach Tongguan Mountain.

This mountain is more than a hundred feet high, five miles in a radius, three levels of water moats, and there are abandoned old city buildings on it. According to legend, it was built by Xiao He. Originally, Xiao He wanted to open a road here to seek to lead to Guanzhong, so the mountain was also called "Tongguan Mountain", where the husbands and their wives and children hid here.

Li Jie, holding the scorching sun, was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He advised the mountain, saying that Da Yin had promised not to pursue your sins and was willing to replenish twice the amount of rice he served. Don’t stay there anymore. There are no food and many beasts, so it would be amazing to be injured.

After much persuasion, the five hundred husbands cried and cried, carrying the elderly, women and children, climbing the trees, and then they came down from the top of the mountain one after another.

Soon, Gao Yue's additional rice and grain allocated to Chenggu County, and Zuoshi Huang Wenyu stood in front of the public office. Each household who gave her husband first gave her 70% of the serving rice according to the portion. After the completion, she brought the certificate back and then received 30% of the rice under her. "You must do it well when you go to the rice warehouse road", "Don't let the women and children worry at home." He said this and soon he sent the family.

When Huang Wenyu was relieved and returned to the public hall to prepare for the commission, he suddenly realized:

I don't know when the middle hall started, but Da Yin Gaoyue sat behind the desk like Bingshuang, his eyes cast like a sword, and he suddenly felt that he had cut half of his body.

Huang Wenyu shivered, and his feet softened unconsciously and almost fell to the ground.
