Chapter 392

The old man is determined to change the situation of people like himself. Although he also knows that only a few small scholars can't make any troubles at all, he is still unwilling to give up that glimmer of hope.

Hearing the young man's question, his expression was a little gloomy, and then he said sadly: "Speaking of it, I am a mountain barbarian from the Central Plains. I just avoided the war many years ago, so that I took root in the mountains and forests. Over time, he became a mountain barbarian in the eyes of his fellow clan."

Seeing that the young man had no objection to his words of rectifying the name of his clan, the old man continued: "Later when the Tang Dynasty was established, Emperor Wude issued an edict to appease him and made various promises. Whether this promise can be fulfilled, the whole family moved into Chengdu. Who knows, the governor of Yizhou at that time did not fulfill his promise, but instead put us under house arrest, and could not go outside the prefecture's boundaries."

When the old man said this, he heard the young man slapping the case angrily: "Old man, I don't need to talk about what happened later, I also know. With your lessons learned, not to mention Chengdu, it is the mountain barbarians in Yizhou and even Shu." , are afraid of the imperial court's appeasement. So that the longer the time, the deeper the guard against the government."

Sighing, not to mention the old man, even other people also sighed a little.

Speaking of this, the young man asked very strangely: "Old man, if the court can fulfill the original promise now, I wonder if the old man can help, let me wait to connect with the mountain barbarians from all over Yizhou."

"What?" Hearing the young man's words, the old man turned pale with shock.You must know that this is not a joke, the things that Wu Denian court promised to them are indeed of great importance, how can a scholar can decide at will. "Hey, you young man, don't talk nonsense like this. However, if you can really fulfill the original promise of appeasement, not to mention making connections, even helping the imperial court to appease our fellow clansmen, there is nothing wrong with it."

Who would have thought that the young man would be overjoyed after hearing the old man's words: "Old man, are you serious?"

"Seriously, how could it not be serious. It's just that, in my life, I don't want to see the imperial court fulfill its promise." The old man sighed a little.It has been 15 years since the first recruiting.And myself, from the prime of life to old age.

The youth was very happy.

However, not everyone is as easy to talk to as the old man.After the old man finished sighing, a few strong men in the room said very dissatisfied: "You, a scholar, know how to boast. Besides, we have been deceived by the official uniform once, so why should we let other people suffer with us?" .”

The young man frowned upon hearing this.

Everyone originally thought that the youth association had nothing to say.Who would have thought that the one who opened his mouth to speak this time was their fellow clan——Qiu Sheng.

"Inspector Luo heard about our situation, and kindly asked me to bring him here to understand our situation. How can you be so presumptuous and criticize him wantonly."

Although Qiu Sheng is young, he is also a scholar after all, and his words in the clan carry some weight.When this sentence came out, everyone in the room was frightened.Obediently, this strange young man in front of him is actually the governor who has made a lot of noise these days.

If piss scaring can absolve them of the guilt of their rude words just now, these people are willing to use their pants to atone for their sins.In fact, they couldn't, so they just knelt down on the ground tremblingly, begging for mercy.

Even the old man knelt down with a look of astonishment on his face at this time. Although he had never bowed his head in such a panic, he did not dare to look directly into the young man's eyes.

"Okay, everyone, get up. I know that the hardships the court has brought to you all these years have made you feel resentful. This is not something outrageous. Yizhou Governor's Mansion turned back on its promises. It is not His Majesty's intention, nor is it The meaning of the court. Luo will explain the crimes of the officials in front of him to His Majesty. The most urgent thing is to help you all to appease the mountain barbarians in Yizhou in one fell swoop."

After being exposed, Luo Yan naturally no longer hides.He called up all the people who were kneeling on the ground, and resolutely said to everyone in the room: "Since I just said that I will fulfill all the conditions promised by the previous court, within three days, Yizhou The government will take action. In order to make you feel at ease, these few days, I will eat and live with you."

Luo Yan has already seen how wary these people are against the government.In order to gain the trust of others as much as possible, he decided to accompany these people by himself, let them look at him, and at the same time gradually enjoy the treatment he deserved at the beginning

The people who had just been called up by Luo Yan fell to their knees again.But this time, nearly half of the people kowtowed and wept.

In the governor's mansion, Chief Shi Yang Rui was in a hurry to get angry.

Yesterday it was agreed to appease the Shanman, but when he got up early in the morning to find the governor, he was told that the governor had brought a student to the city.Right now all the officials in Yizhou are waiting for Luo Yan's order, because they thought that three counties were burned down yesterday, but today there is no so-called pursuit of victory.

This governor's unconstrained style, Yang Rui can be regarded as a lesson.

Think about the big and small officials standing in front of the yamen, Yang Rui is about to let them all go back temporarily.Unexpectedly, at this time, the guard came to report that the student who followed the governor came back and said that he had something important to report to him.

When Qiusheng walked into the back office, Yang Rui rushed over and asked him eagerly, "Why did you come back alone?"

Yang Rui has been an official in Yizhou Governor's Mansion for many years, and Qiu Sheng has seen him countless times, but he has never seen such an abnormal expression.Forced by Yang Rui's majesty, Qiu Sheng replied honestly: "The governor has a letter for me to give to Chang Shi. As for him, he is talking with the naturalized mountain man in the city."

When the word naturalization was mentioned, Yang Rui was startled.The root cause of why the mountain man could not be appeased was here.

But now Luo Yan actually ran over on his own initiative, with such courage, I'm afraid that the Shanman incident could really make a fuss.

Opening Luo Yan's letter with an unquestionable tone, Yang Rui smiled wryly.

"I am in the place where I have returned to the mountain man, and the strategy of recruiting begins from then on. All the conditions for recruiting that day must be fulfilled within three days. Don't be afraid of the difficulty and perfunctory. I am in the mountain man, waiting quietly good news."

A few short words, stamped with the governor's seal and Luo Yan's private seal, became extremely important.

Holding the piece of paper in his hand, Yang Rui stood still for a while, and when he came to his senses, he ignored Qiu Sheng who was still by his side and walked straight to the front office.

At this moment, many officials in Yizhou have been waiting in front of the Yamen for more than an hour.If Luo Yan hadn't taken down the three county magistrates yesterday, I'm afraid they would have gone to the tea shop on the other side of the street to have tea by now.

Frightened by the majesty, after basking in the sun for so long, when he heard Yang Rui from the Qianya: "All the Caos of the governor's mansion and the chief officer of the Chengdu mansion stay here, and the others go back and wait to be summoned." These people were really relieved in one breath.

Today's hurdle should be considered over.

But the people who were summoned were not so relaxed.Trembling into the front office, he found that the person sitting in the hall was not Luo Yan at all.

In the official system of the Tang Dynasty, when the governor is away, the long history can act as the agent for all affairs.Yang Rui was sitting on the chief seat at this time, which meant that Yang Rui was in charge today.The uneasiness in my heart was finally suppressed, and I hurriedly greeted Yang Rui, and everyone looked at Yang Rui eagerly.

"I called you here because the governor has something to do." Yang Rui was not polite.Luo Yan's letter didn't leave him any leeway, and he also knew that doing what Luo Yan ordered was the beginning of the real opening to appease the mountain man, so he didn't dare to be perfunctory. "Hu Cao cooperated with the Chengdu government to find out the dossiers that have been used to appease the mountain barbarians over the years. Cangcao and Fa Cao, after the dossiers are found, will immediately fulfill all the conditions they promised."

As soon as Yang Rui said this, there was an uproar in the front office.

"Mr. Lang, this is not a joke. You must know that the imperial court promised quite generous conditions in order to appease the mountain man..." Hu Cao stood up and said bravely because of his high status among the six Caos.

As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard Yang Ruiyi beat the case: "Of course I know that the conditions are not low, but the governor has ordered that compensation must be started within three days. If you feel that you can't do it, you can only change some." People did it."

Words are not heavy.

In fact, everyone understands it in their hearts.All the consolation funds issued by the imperial court over the years have been misappropriated for other purposes.Now that compensation is really needed, not to mention that the amount is so large that it can definitely empty out half of the treasury of Yizhou. They alone will lose a sum of money from now on.

But since Luo Yan said these words, I'm afraid he really can only follow Yang Rui's orders.

They all knew who Yang Rui was, and it was impossible for him to be the vanguard in this kind of thing.Now that he can say the above words so forcefully, it means that there is absolutely no room for turning things around.

So these people can only nod submissively.Seeing this situation, Yang Rui's face looked a little better, and then he said gently: "You should know that recruiting the mountain man was a matter that was decided at the beginning of taking office at this time. Since it has been delayed until now, it means that the matter has come to an end." It's a foregone conclusion. Do your best and be calm; perfunctory, you will die."

Looking around for a week, Yang Rui declared again: "Remember, there are only three days." Then he said nothing and walked to the back office.

At this time, the officials in the lobby looked at each other with bitter faces.

"Mr. Hu Cao, we are busy this time." The county magistrate of Chengdu prefecture bowed his hands to Hu Cao and said somewhat depressedly.Finding the dossier is definitely not an easy task, and the compensation will start in three days, so there must be one day for Cang Cao and the others to prepare.

For them, there are only two days.

But Fa Cao smiled narrowly at Cang Cao, "This time, you accountant, you're going to cut yourself off."

 After resuming the update, I wanted to apologize, but it was hard to say anything.There is no continued stable update, and it is not hard to speak.I owe everyone an apology, which will be repaid sooner or later with the next update.
