Chapter 450

Qingfu County was quite hot at the end of June. In order to avoid the sun at noon, Han Qiaoer hid in the house every day until evening before going to the yard to play.

She was not so delicate before, but life is different now.

"Come on, let's eat bamboo next door."

Little Bamboo Bear yawned, but was obedient. He turned over and finally got up and followed Han Qiaoer lazily.

Walking around the long corridor in the front office, you can see the busyness of the public houses.Han Qiaoer took it for granted, and led the slow-moving little bamboo bear around to the gate of Fang Yankai's yard again.

"Dong dong dong."

"Is Granny Fang here? Our little bamboo seedlings have been ruined by it, and I'm here to eat yours today."

Soon, the courtyard door was opened.

There are not many servants in Fang Yankai's family, and the person in charge is an old couple of the same clan brought from his hometown.The mother-in-law opened the door with a smile on her wrinkled face.

"My sister is here? Mr. Han and A Lang are talking in the yard."

"Hey, the master has some free time today." Han Qiaoer raised the small basket in her hand and said, "This is the ice cheese I brought for you. Eat it quickly, it will melt in a while."

"The little man will prepare some pastries and deliver them to the yard later. My sister will go to the yard first."

The little bamboo bear over there couldn't wait to climb in the direction of the bamboo garden, so Han Qiaoer had no choice but to catch up quickly.

In the gazebo, Fang Yan Kaizheng and Han Chengxu were sitting opposite each other, each drinking herbal tea.

Seeing the little bamboo bear coming, Fang Yankai shook his head and said to Han Qiaoer: "Don't let it mess with my newly planted lychees, I've already cut the edible ones."

"Yeah, it's better that the master's bamboo grows well."

Han Chengxu turned his head and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you girl, it should be called 'Fangzhi County', don't lose your courtesy."

Han Qiaoer hurriedly ran to the gazebo, made a wish, and called out: "Congratulations to Fangzhi County for his promotion, the official fortune is prosperous, and the blessings are so precious."

"By Qiaoer's auspicious words, let's go play."

Fang Yankai smiled, looked at Xiao Zhuxiong's fat body for a while, then sighed suddenly, and asked Han Chengxu: "Are you ready to leave soon?"

"The property hasn't been picked up yet, but it's only a few days away." Han Chengxu patted his knees and sighed: "The courtyard was renovated last year, so I feel a bit reluctant."

Li Xia moved to "Quan Zhijun Lianzhou Affairs", although he has not returned, he has sent the official seal, and asked Han Chengxu to deal with it first.

Now, Li Yong has rushed to Junlian to make arrangements, and soon, Gao Mingyue and Han Chengxu will also be there.

It is by no means a normal regulation for staff and family members to take office, but now that the war is raging, it can only be done on a special basis.

"If I didn't know that Li Zhizhou was deliberately seeking this official position, I would have regarded him as being secretly demoted by the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the leaders of the Miao, Yi, and Bo people in Yunlian Jiyi Prefecture were all hereditary native officials, and they only surrendered in name."

At this point, Fang Yankai shook his head and said, "Since the Yuanfeng period, there have been officials from Zhongzhou who have taken office, but they have no real power. The people's livelihood and military affairs in Yunlian are still in the hands of local officials."

"Simply put, rule but not rule."

"Yes, rule but not rule." Fang Yankai said: "It's like Wu Tong, the inspector at that time, who was a hereditary native official and never obeyed control. Otherwise, why would the Changning Army choose to station in Lingxiao City?"

Han Chengxu said: "What the Changning army couldn't do, my Alang did it, and Wu Tong was suppressed."

Fang Yankai nodded, and said: "If Li Zhizhou goes to Yunlian in person, he will manage it properly, and even change the place of custody to naturalization. But since he hasn't returned, why wait so fast."

"The situation is urgent, and there is no time to delay." Han Chengxu said, "Besides, when it comes to the governance of the Miao, Yi, and Bo ethnic groups in Jiyi, Mistress is more suitable than Alang."

"is it?"

Fang Yankai obviously didn't believe it.

Li Xia's wife Gao seldom came out to do things, and gave the impression that she was just a weak little girl, so how could she take care of the barbarians in the mountains on behalf of Li Xia?

"It's okay to speak frankly with Fangzhi County." Han Chengxu said: "The life experience of the mistress... Her ancestors of all dynasties, allied with 37 tribes in eastern Yunnan, and were the lord of the tribes of the Yi people; , Xicuan Baiman, and Dianchi Han people are the leaders of the Bai nationality."

Fang Yankai was taken aback, and said in surprise, "It's not the Gao family of Nanjun, but the Gao family of Dali?"

"That's right, the Gao family has ruled Dali for 50 years, and the mistress has her own means to naturalize the small Yunlian Jiyi land." Han Chengxu said: "And in the name of A Lang, the court official, he also has military power, money and food."

Fang Yankai nodded, no longer worrying about this matter.

"Qing Fu Army..."

"Naturally, we have to take them away." Han Chengxu said, "In this way, Fangzhi County no longer has to worry about military pay. As for the camp, let's use it to resettle refugees."

Now half of the Qingfu Army was taken away by Li Xia, and Liu Jinsuo, Yang Ben, Song He, Yu Tian, ​​Xu Kui, and Mao Yier all went out with the army.

Gao Nianfeng led the reinforcements to Syria;
Wu Ang and Luhu followed Yang Guo to the south to Zhaotong;
In Qingfu County, only Baosan and Xiongshan are left in town, with no more than 500 troops.

Once the situation between the north and the south is opened, Qingfu County is located in the center of Li Xia's forces, and there is no need for too many troops to be stationed, just to maintain law and order.

Li Xia went north in person, and Han Chengxu naturally wanted to transfer the remaining troops to the south, so as to achieve a situation of strength on the outside and emptiness on the inside.

During today's conversation, Fang Yankai could already hear the difference in the situation.

Li Xia's ambition has never been in the small county of Qingfu.

It's ridiculous, but he still competed with him for the power of county lieutenant.

But now that Li Xia was transferred, the official position of a county magistrate fell down easily.

……

When the sun went down, the grandparents of the Han family bid him farewell and walked slowly along the path with the little bamboo bear.

"Fangzhi County, let's go." Han Qiaoer raised her hand and waved.

Fang Yankai smiled, got up, picked up the flower hoe, and tidied the bamboo garden by himself.

"It's a mess." He shook his head and reinserted the bamboo that had been pulled to the ground by the little bamboo bear.

Suddenly felt the reluctance before parting.

Originally, he looked down on the northerners, and he also looked down on the southwestern barbarians... He didn't expect to have such emotions.

With Fang Yankai's intelligence, he also faintly felt that Li Xia was gradually forming a separate regime.

Starting from Qingfu County, his power is rapidly expanding to the north and south. He does not have the name of Tongchuanfu Road appeasement envoy, but he has the truth...

But the word "separatist regime" came to mind again, and Fang Yankai shook his head again.

"That's absolutely not the case. His ambition is Shu Shuai, otherwise how can he leave me to manage the celebration?"

If it is really necessary to separate the regime, Qingfu County, a place with the largest population and the most stable people's livelihood, must retain trustworthy talents.

Thinking of this, Fang Yankai felt relieved again.

Or because the little magistrate's vision is too low, or because he is deceiving himself, who knows?
~~
Over there, Han Qiaoer and Han Chengxu returned to the courtyard.

Han Qiaoer teased the little bamboo bear with the bamboo to attract it to move.He asked, "Grandfather, I heard you talking to Fangzhi County...Why did Brother Li leave Qingfu County to him?"

"He is an official of the imperial court, who else can keep him?"

"Then should we give him this house too? Can he still give Brother Li the tax and the source of soldiers?"

Of these two questions, one is naive and petty, and the other is realistic.But in Han Qiaoer's eyes, it seemed to be equally important, so he naturally asked.

"With Xuzhou in our hands, can Qingfu County's taxes and military resources still run away?"

"Will Fangzhi County sue Brother Li?"

"No, he knows who recruited his official."

"Okay." Han Qiaoer said: "But I really can't bear to part with this house, it's hard to find a place to stay..."

Han Chengxu smiled.

He has been wandering for half his life, but this time he went to Junlian, but he didn't think it was wandering.

"Don't be reluctant, I believe that soon, we will go to Chengdu with Alang."

As soon as Han Qiaoer's eyes lit up, she immediately yearned for it.

……

"Sister Gao, grandfather said that brother Li will pick us up to Chengdu soon."

It was night, Han Qiaoer ran to the side hall, only to see Gao Mingyue was still talking to Asha.

"Well, I know, but before we go to Chengdu, we have to take care of Junlian's affairs for him." Gao Mingyue agreed, then turned to look at Asha.

"Auntie said, didn't she?"

Asha was a little helpless.

Years ago, Li Xia was planning to ask her to help subdue the old seedlings in the deep mountains in the south.

Asha did not reject this, but what she rejected was that Li Xia had come up with various regulations.

Such as funding farm tools and cattle, teaching them how to farm, and so on; there are several years of food exemption, and a few percent of the harvest is levied; there is also the establishment of free schools, etc...

This is very different from what Asha had imagined.

She thought that she brought Pluto to various old villages to invite witchcraft... In short, it was full of mystery.

As a Miao Wu, I really instinctively hate those regulations.Therefore, when Li Xia was around, Asha had been avoiding him.

Gao Mingyue is different from Li Xia.

She was born in the Gao family of the "Miaoxiang Country" in Dali, and she knows how the Miao, Yi, and Bo people believe in ghosts and gods.

Recently, she has persuaded Asha to help conquer several old Miao villages in Qingfu.

Not by the order of the Song court, but by Li Xia's name.

Even, every time this matter is mentioned, Asha is already a little excited...

"Yes."

Hearing Gao Mingyue's question, she nodded in agreement, and she was willing to say something more.

"We will make all the Miao people in Gu Rong serve Pluto."

"Thank you, auntie."

What Gao Mingyue can do for Li Xia is to follow the example of the 37 tribes of the Ancestral Huimeng and let each tribe in the land of Junlian have a co-lord.

Recently, she has gradually gained the air of being a housewife. She clasped her hands on her knees and said, "Although the new official has not taken office yet, Jun Lian will definitely be managed well."

……

Han Qiaoer stood aside and listened, but she didn't understand. She only knew that she wanted to convince her brother Li.

A few days ago, she also heard Gao Mingyue say to Han Chengxu, "I will try my best to persuade the tribe, but if any leader, cave master, or village master refuses to obey, I will wipe them out with my troops."

Han Qiaoer felt a little prestige at that time.

"Sister Gao is amazing, no wonder she can be a regular wife." She couldn't help thinking, "I can't do this."

Li Xia didn't know whether the Junlian tribes were convinced or not, but she was convinced by Gao Mingyue anyway... Well, in fact, it has always been.

"I said that Brother Li went to Chengdu after he was promoted. It turns out that this Yunlian Zhizhou is Sister Gao."

Gao Mingyue was slightly surprised when she heard Han Qiaoer's flattery, and found it both funny and satisfied.

In front of those close to her, she was quite naive, so she put on an official air and said, "Then you little girl, why don't you visit Ben Zhizhou..."

Halfway through the conversation, she couldn't hold back anymore, and smiled again.

This time, Asha not only felt that the mysterious aura of Hades had been destroyed, but even Miaoxiang Buddhism was not so solemn...
