Chapter 280 0277 [He is really not human! 】

"Your county chief..."

Han Shizhong's words reached his lips and he swallowed them again.

Liu Qi waved his hand: "Nothing, there are just the three of us here, let's talk if we have anything to say. Every time I get beaten, I always scold him behind his back."

"hey-hey."

Wu Jie was immediately happy, and felt that Liu Qi was quite a good person, a forthright man with a true temperament.

"I thought I was brave enough. It wasn't until I met your county magistrate that I realized that there are mountains beyond the mountains and there is a sky beyond the sky." Han Shizhong sighed.

Liu Qi consoled him: "My county magistrate is not a human being. There is no need to compare with him."

These words were not a curse, but a serious compliment to Han Zhen.

He grew up in the frontier army and went to and from military camps as a child. He witnessed his father fighting against the Xixia people countless times.

No matter whether it is a fierce general in the Western Army or the Xixia people, no one can compare with Han Zhen.

Shoes don't fit.

"It's really not human!"

Wu Jie sighed with emotion.

Today's kick, if he hadn't reacted quickly, blocked it with his arms in front of him, and had the soft haystack to take off the force, he might have kicked himself to death.

"The county magistrate actually doesn't know much about boxing or kicking, he relies on brute strength. If he practices martial arts since childhood like us, and has the guidance of a famous teacher, I don't dare to think about it."

Liu Qi's words shocked Han Shizhong and Wu Jie.

hiss!
The two of them just thought about it for a moment and then took a deep breath.

After a moment of silence, Han Shizhong asked: "Is your father General Liu Zhongwu?"

"Yes."

Liu Qi admitted openly and chuckled: "I want to ask why I wanted to join the bandits?"

Wu Jie nodded hurriedly and looked at him expectantly.

"I just can't stand that dog thief Tong Guan and that dog emperor."

Liu Qi snorted coldly and said angrily: "My father has guarded the border army for many years and made many great achievements. As a result, Tong Guan, a thief, not only took the credit, but also suppressed him secretly. In the fifth year of Zhenghe, the Battle of the Ancient Bone Dragon , my father led an army of 12 men and was ordered to garrison Qingshui River, resisting Xixia's [-]-strong army for a month. However, the food and grass promised by Tong Guan, a thief, was never delivered. In the end, my father had no choice but to flee because of the lack of food and grass."

Hearing this, Han Shizhong shared his hatred and said: "Tong Guan, this thief, really deserves to die!"

He hates Tong Guan no less than Liu Qi.

Not long after he joined the Western Army, he made several achievements in attacking Yinzhou and beheading generals first.

The Department of Economics and Strategy reported his merits to the imperial court and asked for an exceptional promotion of Han Shizhong. However, the coach Tong Guan denied Han Shizhong's merits by saying, "You can make contributions to a small school," and he was only promoted to one level. However, those merits, Naturally, Tong Guan pinned him down on Xin Xingzong.

A few years ago, during the southern expedition to Fangla, Xin Xingzong even snatched Fangla away in front of him.

"Now that Tong Guan is stationed in Daming Mansion, sooner or later I will cut off his head with my own hands!"

Liu Qi said something bitterly, then changed his voice and continued to curse: "Tong Guan, that castrated dog, deserves to die, and that dog emperor of Zhao Song is not a good person. He knew Tong Guan's nature, but he allowed him to bully the generals and rob him." Your military exploits are so incompetent that you deserve to destroy the country!"

Well cursed!
Wu Jie applauded in his heart, but he couldn't agree with it on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Qi said contemptuously: "We are all warriors. We can scold you if you want. What kind of heroes are you if you are timid? You two fought desperately, but the result is that the dog emperor doesn't even remember that there are people like you. How ridiculous."

"Look at me again. I am only 16 years old after the Chinese New Year. Now I am the commander of an army with [-] soldiers. When fighting, I can fight as I want. The county magistrate never interferes and there is no guidance from civilian officials. "

Hearing this, a trace of envy flashed in the eyes of Han Shizhong and Wu Jie.

I have to say that it is comfortable to be in the presence of such a general.

"It's getting late, I should go back."

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Liu Qi stood up, patted his butt, and walked straight out of the prisoner of war camp.

Things like persuading surrender should not be done too hastily, otherwise it will be too obvious.

In particular, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie are both strong-willed people.

With the help of Song Huizong, the seeds have been planted. It only needs to be watered frequently, and it will not take long for them to take root and sprout.

Looking at Liu Qi's leaving figure, Han Shizhong looked complicated.

……

……

After resting for two days in Licheng County, Han Zhen led the army to continue setting off and rushed to Yidu County.

Although Jinan Prefecture is also prosperous and has smooth water transportation, its location is too poor and it has no strategic depth, making it unsuitable as the capital.

In contrast, Qingzhou is the choke point of Shandong. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.

Along the way, it had a great impact on Zhao Fujin.

Especially today, I met a group of runaways coming down from the mountains.

Those who escaped were barely clothed and their bodies were so thin that they seemed to be blown by a gust of wind.

Zhao Fujin was kind-hearted and ordered people to give the remaining half of the cooking cakes to those who had escaped.

The scene where dozens of runaways were beaten to a bloody head while fighting for half a pancake was still lingering in her mind.

night.

Zhao Fujin got off the carriage and walked into Han Zhen's main tent.

"Husband."

Zhao Fujin called softly.

Hearing this, Han Zhen stopped his political affairs, raised his head and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Can't sleep."

Zhao Fujin shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Those people today..."

"Fugitive!"

Han Zhen replied.Zhao Fujin, who has lived in the palace for a long time, heard this title for the first time and looked blank.

Seeing this, Han Zhen explained: "People who cannot afford the exorbitant taxes and abandon their property and houses flee to the mountains. They are the so-called households that have fled."

Zhao Fujin asked in confusion: "But...but why did they flee to the mountains?"

"There are many tigers and leopards in the mountains, and the conditions are difficult. Many of the refugees who fled to the mountains did not even survive a year."

"Then why..."

Han Zhen said seriously: "You have to know that as long as there is a glimmer of hope of survival, these people will not abandon their fields and houses and go to the mountains to fight tigers and leopards."

These words made Zhao Fujin's pretty face turn pale, and he asked calmly: "Is this because of my father?"

"Not that stupid."

Han Zhen smiled happily and said in a deep voice: "You have lived in the palace for a long time. I am afraid that the farthest place you have been to is the outer city of Tokyo. There is a deviation in your perception. This is not your fault. It is undeniable that Bianjing is prosperous. Yes, but there is only one Bianjing in the world, and the prosperity of Tokyo City is supported by the hard work of the people of the entire Song Dynasty."

"The pastries and food in the palace are delicious, and Genyue is spectacular and beautiful, but do you know that every bite of food you eat, and every rock, flower, and grass in Genyue is stained with the blood of the common people, which will lead to dozens or even hundreds of common people. Drag the whole family and flee into the mountains!"

"In the entire Shandong area, there are more than a million people who have fled, and now most of them are dead in the mountains. Those people who died tragically from the mouths of tigers and leopards, or froze to death in the heavy snow and cold winter, are all because of your father."

Han Zhen's words showed no mercy at all. He tore the truth apart and presented it bloodyly in front of Zhao Fujin.

Zhao Fujin felt his stomach churn, and he quickly covered his mouth with tears in his eyes.

After a long time, Zhao Fujin calmed down a little, and asked with a tearful tone: "Please tell me the truth, husband, what will happen to the escaped households after they come down from the mountain today?"

Han Zhen replied: "After coming down from the mountain, the officials under my rule will distribute paper clothes, rice and grain to them, allocate fields, rent grain seeds and farm tools. Most of the money and grain I ask from your father will be used on these fleeing households." As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely not die of hunger under the light corvee and meager wealth."

Hearing this answer, Zhao Fujin felt better and said a blessing: "I thank you husband on behalf of my father."

Han Zhen shook his head and laughed: "I didn't do this for your father."

Zhao Fujin said softly: "I know, but under the rule of my husband, these runaways will finally have a happy ending, which can be considered as eliminating father's obstacles."

Han Zhen ordered: "It's getting late, let's go and have a rest."

"Husband, please rest early. Don't strain your body."

Zhao Fujin sighed softly, turned and left,

Before leaving the palace, she naively thought that the world was peaceful and the people were healthy, and she didn't understand why some people always wanted to rebel.

After planning to get married, I would like to advise my husband not to rebel and to be a good minister.

But what she saw and heard along the way gradually made her understand.

I also know how ridiculous my original idea was.

……

February 27.

The army has finally entered Qingzhou and will reach Yidu by tomorrow evening at the latest.

This time, it took three months from the time the troops were dispatched to the time they returned to the city.

For a war, it was quite fast.

At this time, Yidu County is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the lively scene is far better than the New Year.

Jars of boiled white wine and big fat pigs are constantly being transported to the military camp. The military cooks and the civilian helpers are busy preparing for tomorrow's celebration banquet without touching the ground.

In the government office, a group of officials gathered in the lobby and were discussing matters.

Chang Yukun and Xie Ding were also among them.

Zhao Ting was the first to speak: "I propose to select a piece of land in the inner city, recruit civilians, and build a palace as soon as possible."

Although during the peace talks with Zhao Song, Han Zhen promised that he would not Jianyuan and proclaim himself emperor, everyone present knew that this would happen sooner or later.

The past rules and etiquette should also be changed.

Hearing this, Chang Yukun shook his head and said: "The county magistrate has always been frugal, so I'm afraid he won't agree to the construction of the palace."

He has been with Han Zhen for the longest time, so he has more say.

In Chang Yukun's view, Han Zhen was the most pragmatic and liked to spend money wisely and waste millions on building palaces. With his character, Han Zhen would definitely not agree.

Zhao Ting frowned slightly: "If you don't build the palace, it is really against the rules of etiquette. Besides, it will be inconvenient to discuss matters in the future."

We used to be members of the Caotai team, so everyone had no problem with making do with it.

But things are different now. All the land in Shandong has been taken under his control. Even if Han Zhen wants to make do with it, they, the heroes of Conglong, are not willing to do so.

And Zhao Ting didn't lie. Now that the territory has become larger, the number of officials has expanded dozens of times, and it is really inconvenient to always be crowded in the government office.

The government office is too small, especially after recruiting more subordinate staff, it becomes even more crowded.

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Wang Weizhong had an idea flash in his mind and suggested: "The Junchengguan Posthouse has always been vacant, and it occupies a very large area and is beautifully decorated. With only a few modifications, it can be used as a palace. That's it. , it can be considered as making the best use of everything, and the county magistrate should not object."

Guanyi?

Everyone was stunned at first, then their eyes lit up and they all agreed.

Not to mention, Guanyi is really suitable.

Qingzhou was originally the administrative seat of Jingdong East Road. As the capital of the county, the construction of Guanyi was naturally not bad.

Guanyi is located in the southwest corner of the inner city, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, with a total of four courtyards and 28 rooms.

There are pavilions and waterside pavilions inside, and the environment is beautiful.

With a little modification, it can be used as a palace.

"Not bad!"

Zhao Ting was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Dean Yuan, I will leave this matter to your Engineering Academy."

"The subordinate takes orders!"

Craftsman Yuan responded with his hands raised.
