Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 236
Yunzhou City, Lilac Garden.

The Liu family's second wife sat on the platform in the pond like rain, with five piles of ledgers piled up in front of them that were one foot high.

Outside the garden gate, there were hundreds of people waiting in the shade of the trees.

There was a ding-dong sound, which was the sound of the hammer of the timekeeping water clock.

"It's time." Someone shouted.

"Wait a minute." A person came hurriedly from a distance. This person was wearing cropped trousers, a pig belt with a steel buckle, and a silk jacket with an open front on his upper body.Walking from there, he blocked other people entering the park regardless of his sweating profusely.

Everyone took a step back and stepped aside.

This is the deputy general of Yunzhou, a descendant of the Bai family in Guanzhong, Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng entered the garden, raised his hands and cupped his fists: "Second lady, something happened in the east of the city. The patriarch of Nanshiwei sent [-] cows, but [-] of them couldn't work at all. I sent someone to inquire. That's the brown cow from Mohe, this kind of cow was originally a bison, but was later raised by the Shiwei people."

"General Bai, please sit down." Liu Ruyu got up from behind the screen, but Bai Sheng was very anxious: "The cow looks strong, but actually it has no strength, and is lazy. If it eats too much, it will grow fat."

"Then according to General Bai, we should reprimand the people from Shiwei?"

"Well, that's not okay. The Shiwei people used to fight with us along with the Turkic people. Now it's hard to stop fighting. It's not appropriate to turn your face on these two thousand cows. I have no idea."

Bai Sheng just sat down and poured several big bowls of sour plum soup, and then said: "They are not evil, but they clearly stated that the two thousand cows will only charge half the price."

"It's better to accept the price and tell them that they have accepted it this time, and they can't send this kind of cattle next time. If Chang'an needs it, they can send it again."

"Chang'an useful?"

"My Dalang said that many nobles in Chang'an have actually changed their ways to kill cattle and eat meat. But such a big matter is not something that I dare to speak out, or I can ask for orders after sending it to Chang'an."

It sounds ridiculous for a folk girl to ask for an order, but it is different here.

"Well, it's safer to discuss it with someone." Bai Sheng waved his hand to signal the Shiwei people who followed him to go immediately to do so, and let those who were waiting to enter the park come in one by one.

When someone first came in, Bai Sheng was still talking: "I didn't give up the monthly money last month, and these people spend money randomly. I made a rule, half of the money will be deducted and sent directly to their home. Save money They made it here."

"That's right, General Bai is brilliant."

When the two were talking through the screen, the first one to come in was also a general, and the general who reached the fifth rank was considered the last general.

This man cupped his fists at Bai Sheng, and then at the screen: "My department is in charge of reimbursement, and I purchased wool last month...

This man was muttering, and he also handed over the official documents, and those responsible for recording beside Liu Ruyu had already started to calculate and record.

After this report is over, the biggest official in Yunzhou right now is Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng scolded: "You can send someone to pay for this account, what are you doing here to show your merits?"

"It's not a show of merit, it's my department's application to go another fifty miles to the east next month."

Bai Sheng frowned.

Liu Ruyu, who was behind the screen, already knew the population, ethnicity, and battle lines of a region like the palm of his hand. Hearing this, he immediately asked, "Isn't it less than twenty miles away from Shengzhou?"

"Exactly. The general asked to go another fifty miles to the east. The general heard that someone from the tribe on the prairie sent a letter, and the tribe there also wanted to make a deal. The general thought that the Khitan tribe was our sworn enemy, so they won't beat him now. As long as there is money, silk and food, there may be no more fights over there, so go east fifty miles."

Liu Ruyu didn't dare to answer those words, she was only here to reconcile accounts with each battalion, each tribe, and each company every month.

Bai Sheng also said at this time: "Please let the second lady decide."

Liu Ruyu didn't even dare to speak, so why should she decide for herself.Just a folk girl.

After waiting for quite a while, Liu Ruyu did not speak, and Bai Sheng said again: "Only you, Er Niangzi, can decide this matter. And you must nod your head." Bai Sheng only said this, but he didn't say why It must be Liu Ruyu nodding.

"Go." Liu Ruyu gritted her teeth.

Shengzhou is a very special place. It was established in the former Sui Dynasty, but it was occupied by the Turks after the end of the Sui Dynasty. This is a very large piece of land, an important position in the Hetao Grassland.

"Minister, I think so in my heart. There is a word from Chang'an that the minimum amount of wool must exceed 1000 million sheep, and try to reach the wool of 500 million sheep. But right now, Shiwei people have almost no sheep. The Khitan family is a master of raising horses. And this time the Khitan went north, but they didn't touch the Hetao area to rob sheep."

Bai Sheng missed a sentence: "They understand the rules. The Hetao area is right under our noses. If they go to grab it, they won't give us face. So they go north and take a long way, and they will come back some days. But [-] sheep, Disaster."

"With the sheep in Hetao, guesswork is enough." All Liu Ruyu thought of was the purchase quantity that Liumu had confessed.

There is another sentence that Bai Sheng thinks about, that is, to subdue the enemy without fighting.

"Then do it. I will transfer another 500 people to your camp."

"Thank you, General Bai, and I will retire at the end."

The next person who came in was still a general, and he also pulled an elder from a Turkic tribe.Come here to certify an exchange agreement, and report both of their accounts.

Bai Sheng listened for a while, but he didn't understand most of them, so he found an excuse to leave.

Outside the garden, Bai Sheng's soldiers asked Bai Sheng: "General, what should we do if we go east and fight?"

"So, only Er Niangzi can make the decision. I am the master. This is called private soldiers marching eastward. I can't bear it. The Er Niangzi is the master. Whoever dares to attack us is called a defensive commercial line. And behind him there is a wooden Mr. Xiaolang, don't say that there is news that Mr. Mu Xiaolang has been demoted to the people, but you said what happened before the battle, what would I do if I were you?"

"Hiss, you can't escape by ransacking your home and killing your head." The soldier gasped.

Bai Sheng nodded silently: "That's right, don't underestimate someone who can handle such a big matter. Besides, who has the final say in Yunzhou?"

"Of course it's our general."

"Yes, the general is not here, what about things other than military affairs?" Bai Sheng asked again.

The soldier laughed, there are some words that cannot be said, but can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

But everyone understands that Li Daozong is in Yunzhou, and things in Yunzhou, except for military affairs, are decided by Liu Ruyu. It was given by Liu Ruyu.

Li Daozong is not good at internal affairs, and he is also a person who doesn't like to make decisions, and he hates those daily trivial official duties.

So Liu Ruyu began to get in touch slowly on behalf of his hands, and now, he has really taken care of the daily chores in Yunzhou, a fortress town on the border that was not much.
