"I'm not curious about how Sima Dou rose against the trend. I can only be curious about where he got the capital and courage to proclaim himself emperor in the capital and establish a country. And the time to choose was just when Emperor Taining of Dezong was critically ill. There was always a way that he was spying on the court and was calling himself emperor by time, just to anger Emperor Taining of Dezong to death."

Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "After you say this, I believe more and more that the character of Mr. Deng was not made by Lin Xiaobao, but indeed someone else. I think there are many people who have the same idea as you. Everyone has a ridiculous idea of ​​Sima Dou winning time to become emperor. Could it be that the fact is that Sima Dou turned into emperor by pinching time to become emperor?"

Xiao Yi sat down on the soft collapse, "What you mean is that this mysterious Mr. Deng can not only give advice for Sima Dou, but also have a suspicion in the court, and can get the movement of the court at any time."

"There is such a possibility!"

Xiao Yi thought about it for a moment, "I don't remember any official named Deng in the court who had rebelled from the court. No Deng family had rebelled from the Great Wei."

"Not blatantly rebelling does not mean that there is no privately."

"Maybe the pseudonym is used. This Mr. Deng may not be really the surname Deng."

"That's why I asked Lin Xiaobao to thoroughly investigate Mr. Deng's background. There is such a mysterious figure who gives advice around Sima Dou, which always makes people unable to sleep or eat. I hope that the governor of Liangzhou, Liu Zhang, can kill Sima Dou on the horse and let this 'Da Qi' dynasty die directly."

Xiao Yi shook his head slowly, "It is not easy to kill Sima Dou on the horse. Now it is different. Sima Dou is no longer the rebels of the past. He wants territory and population to be populated. As the autumn harvest approaches, the food problem will be solved immediately. On the other hand, Liu Zhang, the governor of Liangzhou, lacks the material support of the court. He is not optimistic about sending troops this time."

Isolated from north to south.

There is no way to keep the resources of the court being transported to the border front line as before.

There is always one trip to the delivery of materials for various reasons.

The most critical section of the official road that communicates between the north and the south is all in the hands of the pseudo-Emperor Sima Dou.

If you want to transport the supplies smoothly, you have to open up another road.

The difficulty of crossing mountains and ridges is purely driven by people.

If the road is blocked, you can only rely on people and horses to carry, so the supplies you can transport are really limited.

The court also wanted to live in the water.

However, the most scarce material in the Northwest is water!

Moreover, for four or five months of the year, the river surface is frozen and difficult to navigate.

The most important thing is that even if you go through the water, you have to go through the territory of the fake emperor Sima Dou.

It's so fatal!

The "Mr. Deng" who gave Sima Dou advice to occupy Hexi, Hedong and Jingjin, and became emperor in Jingjin was really a masterpiece.

This move instantly cut off the connection between the strongest troops of the Great Wei Dynasty and the court.

The current situation is that a small amount of supplies can be transported to the front line.

There is nothing to do with a lot of supplies.

However, Yan Yunge is trying to open a second route to transport supplies to the north by sea.

...

autumn harvest.

The golden rice is harvested, dried, raised ashes, and put into storage!

The yamen clerks and runners, led by household officials, went to the countryside to calculate the population and land, and collect taxes.

From the county government to the county government, every yamen and everyone is so busy that they are not touching the ground.

This is the busiest and most critical moment of the year.

From north to south, all government offices, success or failure of a year depends on whether the autumn harvest tax is collected as expected, whether the local people have a good harvest, and whether the grain in the granary can last until next summer harvest season?

As a responsible county magistrate, Xiao Yi also took his people to the countryside to personally check the tax collection.

The biggest feeling I feel is poverty.

The second is the shortage of people.

A large amount of wasteland has been reclaimed.

To be precise, there is not enough labor to open up the land.

There is a shortage of people in the countryside, and there is also a shortage of people in the yamen.

Collecting taxes and registering the land area is a complex and trivial matter.

There is a lot of pen and ink work every day.

All the officials in the yamen are literate.

But it is just literacy, can read and write.

It is really embarrassing for them to do written work.

Small tables and lots of content.

The writing must be neat, and the words must be written as small as possible and the words must be concise.

This is by no means a job that a clerk who knows hundreds of words can accomplish.

Just writing cannot meet the requirements.

Once written, it is a ball of ink.

The paper was wasted, and the form was not filled in.

Thank God, just when the yamen was busiest and short of people, the thirty scholars sent by Hou Yan Shouzhan from Guangning finally arrived in Pingyang County.

This group of scholars walked out of Youzhou for the first time and came to the south for the first time. The scenery was very different and everything was strange.

I thought the yamen wanted to welcome them and encourage them.

Then, I took a break and started working for three or five days.

But unexpectedly, I was driven to the shelves as soon as I put down my luggage.

Pick up the four treasures of the study and start working day and night.

Huh huh huh huh...

Pingyang County is a demon's cave!

Treat people as animals.

I spend every day in the countryside, working at night, doing paperwork.

The requirements are high.

If there is any mistake, you will be called back and re-registered.

At the beginning, if you are not proficient in your business and have not received any business training, you will inevitably make mistakes in your busy schedule.

He was scolded by the officials of the Shangfeng Mountains, and many of the scholars from Youzhou were scolded and their eyes were red.

Everyone is in a bad temper and wants to go back to Youzhou.

But I can't hide my face.

I have only been here for a few days and I am just making trouble. Isn’t it because I am trying to underestimate the people of Youzhou?

They are from the Marquis of Guangning, representing the Marquis of Guangning, and also the face of Mrs. Yan.

It’s a small matter to lose face for yourself, so you must not lose face for Hou Guangning and Mrs. Yan.

Grit your teeth and fight hard!

Isn’t it just paperwork, the trick is to be “familiar”.

Once you get familiar with it, you can complete the work with your eyes closed.

These scholars are not very talented and not necessarily very smart. They are basically the qualifications of ordinary people.

Thanks to the fact that I have some money and some connections at home, I have the opportunity to study.

It may not be possible to let them do something else.

However, it is not too easy to let them write and do clerk registration work.

From the first day they read, they were writing...

These people have been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years at the shortest time.

For more than ten years, I have no character in my hand, but I am neat and beautiful enough.

It is more than enough to complete the paperwork.

Thirty people devoted themselves to their work, so that the yamen's clerks could take a breath.

...

The lives and work of these scholars have become formal.

The lives of the Yan girls are a bit messy.

The girls from the Yan family who went south with thirty scholars started from Yan Liu and lined up until Yan Eleven.

Yan Yunge is so popular that he is even bigger.

Each face is very good.

They are said to be half-sisters, and they are all strangers.
