16. Xue Hongdu lost his father

The so-called Baojia method is actually a simplification of Gao Yue's painting and anvil base method. Wei Gao asked the households of Xichuan to form Baojia, and then declared their own land. The military government used this as the basis and contracted the tax. Dongchuan and Banan were similar. This method was because Wei Gao believed that "the Shu people were gentle and kind" and did not need to be calculating. In terms of labor, Wei Gao asked each Baojia to be divided into three groups, one for one, and two for another to rest. He also added regular warehouses in each prefecture and county, trying not to allow the people to transport too far. The grain was only collected from hubu rice (supplied to the capital) part, and other parts were allowed to be replaced with cloth. Because the weaving in Shu was developed, this move greatly facilitated the people and enriched the military government's treasury.

In addition, Wei Gao digs well salt in Xichuan, trying his best to be self-sufficient, and uses the well salt field to strictly control the salt price so that the people will not be short of salt.

Wei Gao also raised the fang soldiers of the Fengyi army, the children of Qiongya barbarians, the Xishan Army, the Qingyuan Army, etc., and treated them equally. He ordered that all generals, officials and soldiers in the military camps get married. The man gave him a collar of a familiar colored clothes, the woman gave him a silver clay clothes, and the money was given 10,000 yuan to prepare for the marriage. Some soldiers died and died, but if they were timid and violated the battle, they would be killed.

The children of the soldiers and the dependent Dongman children, Wei Gao, placed them in the school palace in Shu Capital, and promised that if any descendants of the military soldiers who passed the Ming Dynasty exam, they would be rewarded with 200 stagnants of money, and each camp prostitute would be given a piece of color; if some passed the Jinshi exam, they would be rewarded with 300 stagnants of money, and each camp prostitute would be given a piece of color. As a result, the Xichuan army became stronger, Xifan in Huichuan and Nanzhao in Yunnan were all respected by Wei Gao.

The situation has changed and it has risen. Wei Gao is not polite. He and Du Huangshang and Liu Changqing joined forces to greatly strengthen their military equipment in Rongzhou, Jiazhou and other places, open up and rectify the shipping routes, and start operating the Shimen Road to Yunnan, which put great pressure on Nanzhao. He asked someone to send a message to King Yi Mouxun of Yunnan to strengthen his political offensive, saying that the Tang Xiang in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty was on the verge of shattering, and the Uighurs had become half the son of the Emperor of Tang. Yunnan should seize the opportunity to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise after the army wiped out and wiped out the north, it would be too late to regret it!

Yi Mouxun, who received Wei Gao's secret letter, was restless and his idea of ​​returning to the Tang Dynasty was better than the day, but he was afraid of the surveillance of Xifan in his capital. These Xifans were headed by Qishengtuo, named envoys, but were actually spies. On the north side of Nanzhao, there was a stage occupied by Xifan, and in Huichuan, and in the northwest, there was a separatist force of Sanlangzhao, which made Yi Mouxun thrown into a rat and unable to move.

The Xifan Zamp urged Yi Mouxun's younger brother to come to Luo Dong to study and practice Buddhism as soon as possible, which made Yi Mouxun even more anxious.

In the capital of Shu, Zheng Zhi once again volunteered to Wei Gao, saying that he could sneak into Yunnan immediately along the Shimen Road. After seeing Yi Mouxun and Zheng Hui, he would explain the pros and cons to him, so that Yunnan would make up his mind as soon as possible and join forces with us, Tang, to chase Western Fan together.

"Don't worry about civilization, wait for me to attack the west." Wei Gao said this, and then he released Duan Jinyi, the Nanzhao official captured in the Battle of Papaya Ridge, and followed Qingxi Road.

There is no doubt that as soon as Duan Jinyi arrived at Dengtai City, he was captured by Xifan's fortress. The trusted Yunling Dalun Quizang was hidden. It was also Shang Jiezan's eldest son who asked about Duan's identity. He was furious and told Qishengtuo in Yangzhumei City.

Qi Shengtuo immediately came to the palace and scolded Yi Mouxun in person, "Did King Dongri have a strange intention to the god Zanpu!"

Yi Mouxun hurriedly explained that Duan Jinyi was captured by the Tang army in the war, and now I spent money to redeem him. Apart from this, I have absolutely no deal with Wei Gao.

Just as the two sides were arguing, Wei Gao quickly ordered Zheng Shi and Cui Zuo, the chief secretary of the Nishikawa Shogunate, the inspector Cui Ping (son of Cui Ning) and Xue Tao's father Xue Yun, quickly followed the relatively safe Shimen Road to fight to Yangjume City and meet the king of Yunnan Yi Mouxun.

However, Xue Yun failed to make a move. He was seriously ill before. Just as Zheng Wei learned about the situation and was about to take leave for Xue Yun, the person's illness became more and more serious. In the end, he could hardly speak. He knew that he had not had much time, so he led his only daughter Xue Tao to the couch.

At this time, Xue Tao looked at his father who was about to die and suddenly felt that the sky had fallen, and was sad and panic, and cried.

"Don't cry, your mother passed away early, my father, I'm not here before I saw the Xianda Xianda in my life..." Xue Yun sighed and touched his daughter's bun, "After I die, if you have no relatives in Shu, you will probably fall into the family of music. It will be difficult to turn over like that. In my opinion, you might as well recommend yourself as Prince Wei's concubine, and finally you will have a marriage contract, so you will have a settlement in your life."

Xue Tao didn't have the intention of being a concubine at this time, but just burst into tears.

"You have loved to read and write about Zheng Wei Zhifeng since you were a child. This makes me worry about you after my death. Girls must be clean and clean. If they lose their reputation, they will never be reborn... I blame me, I blame me, I can't marry you, and I will die..." Xue Yun murmured, holding his daughter's hand tightly with fear and worry until he swallowed his last breath.

When Wei Gao learned about Xue Yun's death, he was shocked and sad, so he asked the judge Liu Pi to bring 100,000 yuan, to take care of Xue Yun's funeral, and to help his daughter.

In that era, in his career, there were too many people who died in a foreign official residence.

Xue Tao's father is just one of them.

Liu Pi came into the house and after the condolences, he asked Xue Tao, who was wearing white mourning clothes, "Girl, you don't have any relatives here, how can you support a family? You will inevitably become a woman of the news. We might as well mention the old sayings again. You can enter the palace to be the concubine of Prince Nankang. You are bound to be a concubine of Prince Nankang."

"How can I marry someone as a concubine during the mourning period?" Xue Tao burst into tears.

Liu Pi said it was not a problem. As long as you agree with the girl, at most, you can wait 25 months later and you will enter the backyard of the mansion after the mourning period.

But Xue Tao did not agree. After Liu Pi left, she was alone and stayed in the mourning hall with two old slaves. Looking at the swaying candlelight and the dark night outside, her heart was filled with helpless sorrow. When she heard the movements outside, she was so shocked that she couldn't help herself, and her eyes were crying red and swollen.

He was so drowsy that the next morning, Xue Tao woke up from the dream and suddenly felt that his father was not dead yet. All this was just a dream, just a dream.

However, when I opened my eyes, I saw cold cruelty: my father was already covered with a white cloth.

Xue Tao cried again, and then something even more anxious came. The two slaves in her family actually fled over the back wall while she was asleep last night.

"What should I do?" Xue Tao even wanted to commit suicide, so that he could go to Jiuquan to stay with his father and become a filial daughter.

Just as she was stumbled to grab the white silk on the table, the door of the house was pushed open by a creaking sound, and a tall and thin man walked in.
