In Dayong County Yamen, faced with the sudden arrival of Jin Yiwei, the county magistrate Li Yulong was panicked and at a loss.

And such scenes are also being staged in various yamen throughout the county.

The officer thought of what he had said at the city gate before and hurriedly said: "Master, it's better to prepare quickly. The Jin Yiwei over there previously told the commander to send them all to the county government office."

"Come to our county office?"

Li Yulong was stunned again and his shoulders were shaken.

Under the blank gaze of the police officer.

Li Yulong suddenly bent down and clapped his thighs with both hands: "Quick! Let me serve you tea, quick, quick, quick! Call out the county magistrate, the chief registrar, the Dianshi and the people in the sixth room. Let's go to the Yamen Gate and wait.

The mission is coming!"

After that, Li Yulong was already carrying his official robe and ran outside the county government office.

Seeing the magistrate in such a hurry, the officer hurriedly took action.

Not long after, in front of the Dayong County Yamen, the entire county government came out, waiting at the gate of the Yamen with uneasy expressions, looking in the direction of the city gate.

Zhang Hui, who led people into the city, walked very leisurely.

When he and others slowly arrived in front of Dayong County Yamen, he saw a large group of people waiting at the door of the Yamen.

Seeing Zhang Hui and his group of Jin Yiwei in Feiyu uniforms finally arrived, Li Yulong was nervous, but his face was full of smiles, and he hurried forward with his hands clasped together.

"Shangguan is here, and I am sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar. I apologize to Shangguan Haihan. I have already prepared a small amount of wine at the county government office to wash away Shangguan's dust."

As he spoke, Li Yulong held his sleeves and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead due to nervousness.

Behind him, the county government officials also bent over and lowered their heads, fearing to offend the normally murderous Jin Yiwei in front of them, so they sent them all to see the princes of various families.

.

Zhang Hui's face was calm, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

The Dayong County Magistrate was overly nervous.

But he didn't want to think that his identity might only make the courtiers nervous in Yingtian City, but if he left the capital, he would be the living king of hell.

"I'm sorry to hear from you, Lord County. I wonder if General Dayongwei has arrived?"

Zhang Hui got off his horse, looked at Dayong County Magistrate Li Yulong, who was holding the horse for him personally, and asked calmly.

But when the words fell into Li Yulong's ears, they had a different meaning.

Could it be that Jinyiwei wants to make a big move in Dayong County and needs Dayongwei's troops to contribute?

Li Yulong was at a loss, lowered his head and said: "The commander took people out of the city yesterday and went to Dayongsuo in the southwest. According to the usual practice, he should be back soon."

As he spoke, the flustered Dayong County Magistrate quietly took a look at the many imperial cavalry in brocade robes behind Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui smiled slightly: "In that case, let's go to the Yamen and talk. When Dayongwei's people come back, they will naturally come over knowing the news."

Following Zhang Hui's order, the accompanying knights in royal robes rode their horses to the courtyard wall next to the Yamen.

The officers and soldiers dismounted their horses, tied their horses to the hitching posts in front of the government office, and sent people to guard them. The other part of the people went directly into the county government office and guarded various places.

Li Yulong led a large group of officials and enthusiastically surrounded Zhang Hui into the county government office.

"Sir, please take a seat."

Li Yulong led the county's magistrate, chief registrar, and officials to stand under the main hall and looked at the chief's seat under the high-hanging plaque on the mirror.

Zhang Hui, however, smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty County Li is the chief officer of this department. I just came out of Beijing to do things here according to the order. The rules cannot be broken. I don't dare to overwhelm the guest. I'll let the County Lord take the seat."

Li Yulong looked at Zhang Hui's expression and tone and knew that what he said was not polite. Seeing that Zhang Hui and the Jin Yiwei leaders who came in did not sit down, so he had to bend down and return to Dayong County, which belonged to him.

on the seat.

After sitting down, Li Yulong still only dropped half of his butt on the chair.

Zhang Hui saw that the other party had already sat down, so he nodded and took his subordinates to sit down.

The county government officer has already brought tea.

Zhang Hui took a sip of tea, and while putting down the tea cup, he looked sideways at Li Yulong: "Is Mr. Li a native of Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi?"

Li Yulong immediately sat upright, nodded with a smile on his face and said: "Go back to Shangguan, Xiaguan is from Leping County, Raozhou Prefecture."

"Leping County, by the Le'an River, is a good place." Zhang Hui praised it without saltiness.

He knew this place, but had never been there, but that didn't stop him from saying some polite words.

Li Yulong breathed a sigh of relief.

The Shangguan of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town came over and did not say anything else. Instead, he started chatting about these gossips, which at least meant that it was not directed at him, or that he was not the main one.

Li Yulong immediately smiled and said: "It's not that big of a deal. Just walk a little further downstream and you'll reach Panyang City. You can overlook Panyang Lake from Lincheng. It's a rare beauty in the world."

Just when Li Yulong was about to explain what the beautiful scenery of Panyang Lake was like, Zhang Hui suddenly changed the subject.

"What is Mr. Li's opinion on the new policies of the imperial court?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Hui's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the county government in front of him.

Li Yulong, who was about to recite a few lines of ancient poems describing Panyang Lake, was almost choked, and his face suddenly became panicked.

Hongwu's New Deal has been in effect for several years. Even the Emperor Tiangao in Dayong County has known about these things for a long time, and some of the New Deal's methods have already been deployed in Dayong County.

At least now, all land in Dayong County needs to pay taxes.

At the time, His Highness the King of Qin, it took several days for the blood-red water in the Lishui River outside the city to dissipate and return to normal.

Li Yulong's eyes quickly glanced at the county magistrate and chief clerk of this government office, and then immediately said: "Of course it's a good thing. Shangguan may not know that since the New Deal, the villagers of Dayong County have always said good things to the court.

Your Majesty is kind, and the people's lives are now much better than before."

Zhang Hui smiled: "So, Mr. Li County is also aware of the people's sentiments and often interacts with the people outside the city."

Li Yulong smiled blankly: "Although the official is just a county magistrate, he is deeply favored by the emperor. Naturally, he does not dare to forget his job. He relies on the good governance of the imperial court.

, the villagers in this county are farming and doing things as they should."

Zhang Hui nodded: "Before I left the capital, I went to the Literary Selection and Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Rites. The chief officials of the counties in Yuezhou Prefecture were evaluated. County Master Li's evaluation was not low. It can be seen that the County Master is a person who does things, and the people can have

It is also a blessing for the people of this county that Li County respects his parents as officials."

These words are already praising Li Yulong in public.

He was sitting on a chair, bent over, with a smile on his face, nodding his head but not speaking.

At this time, Zhang Hui changed the topic again: "It's just that there are still a few parent officials like Li County Zun. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left Beijing according to the order."

Someone is going to be in trouble.

Li Yulong thought in his heart, pondered for a moment and then replied: "They are all a bunch of ungrateful people. They waste the emperor's kindness and prey on the common people. Such people should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "Li County respects the public and is loyal to the country. I have indeed learned about it in person today. I just don't know what Li County knows about the recent rebellion among the chieftains in the southwest."

Finally, Zhang Hui turned the topic to the business of leaving Beijing.

Li Yulong raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, I came here for that matter.

Li Yulong took a deep breath, but felt that if he really told the truth, the court would not believe it, let alone the Qianhu official of the Jin Yiwei who seemed to be kind, but secretly killed many people.

Already.

"Because the natives on the other side of the chieftains felt that the chieftains were biased and inactive, the natives asked them to share their land and share the same grain as the people in Liufu and Liuxian counties."

After making a concluding statement, Li Yulong told the ins and outs of the trouble among the chieftains in the southwest that had been going on for more than half a year.

After finishing speaking, Li Yulong stared at Zhang Hui quietly.

This is actually what happened, but anyone who hears it for the first time will find it a bit unbelievable.

After listening, Zhang Hui looked surprised.

Who would have known that the chaos in Southwest China that had occurred for more than half a year was actually caused by the natives asking the chieftain to change the chieftain's territory in accordance with the new policies of the imperial court.

At the beginning, the reason for the incident was that when the imperial court implemented various policies of the Hongwu New Deal, its original intention was to stabilize the chieftains, and it did not implement the New Deal to the chieftains for the time being.

This resulted in two counties that may be adjacent to each other on the southwest boundary. One county is undergoing the New Deal reforms, while the other chieftain county is completely unmoved, and everything is as before.

Originally, when the imperial court implemented the New Deal, there was great resistance from the local level.

The people in Tusifu County originally thought that the imperial court was going to increase taxes, so they felt that they were lucky that the imperial court did not implement this in their Tusifu County.

But slowly as time went by, the natives of Tusi Prefecture discovered it.

How come the life of the neighbor's family next door is getting better and better, but the life of my own family is still so miserable, hungry and full every meal, and not taking one meal after another.

Then the natives discovered the reason.

It turned out to be because they did not carry out the New Deal.

Later, I don’t know how the matter spread, but it turned out that the gentlemen in the Tusi Prefecture were unwilling to reform in accordance with the new policies of the imperial court. Naturally, the native people were unwilling.

Under the new and old grudges, this chaos completely broke out.

In fact, no one can blame this.
