Chapter 88 Turmoil
The autumn harvest is the hope of the year at this moment. However, joy sometimes hides sorrow. Because in such an era, war comes at any time.
The autumn wind blew, and the grasslands in the north were not in chaos. The war in the first half of the year was not until the summer came later. Now I don’t know when the war will suddenly meet again.
The Ziyun Kingdom, now many small countries, city-states are in chaos and completely in chaos. I don’t know who started it first, but I fought here and there, and I feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the other place, and then my ambition is growing freely.
Liu Feiyun looked at the letter Liu Shuhan sent again, which talked about the current situation of Ziyun Kingdom. As soon as the war broke out, the people were displaced. Some people succeeded. For example, some generals from aristocratic families who were respectful at the beginning were good at fighting, at least better than those princes who had just recruited their troops. They were beaten to death in one battle.
But more of it is just a loss-making loss. The siege needs several times. The number of troops on both sides is similar, and the defense obviously has great advantages.
The letter also mentioned that the power of the valley has once again expanded greatly, and the war has brought them a high-quality population, just like when Liu Feiyun was there.
"Oh, even if the valley recruits personnel, how many people can be saved? Only a small part of the selfishness is destined to live a good life." Liu Feiyun sighed, with power and ambitions. When someone's desire is aroused and he will not be bleeding, how can he retreat?
Even if you step into the quagmire, even if you retreat, others will not let you live safely at this time.
In the morning, Liu Feiyun saw Ji Fu who was about to go out and asked, "Mr. Ji, is the autumn harvest still going well?"
"Sir." Ji Fu saluted: "Everything is normal. You can complete the harvest in these few days. Students are also counting the taxes that each household should pay, and it can be completed by the middle of the month at the latest."
"That's good, this matter should not be neglected." Liu Feiyun then smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry. The people are simple, they have enough food and food, and they have a bumper harvest. They will not push and refuse to pay."
"Yes." Ji Fu also smiled and admired: "Everything is all for the blessing of the adults. Everything goes very smoothly after the students go down, and the people are very enthusiastic."
"I just did what I should do. Whoever the people are good to them will be good to them."
"Students understand, students accept it."
In the blink of an eye, the middle of the month was coming. Ji Fu was indeed a rare talent. At least he had outstanding abilities in mathematics. The taxes in the entire county were handled in an orderly manner, and the data statistics were extremely organized.
Unfortunately, Liu Feiyun did not intend to teach him the knowledge of modern mathematics, at least he did not have the intention to do this. Perhaps one day Ji Fu's seriousness and choice would impress him, he might take the initiative to teach.
A day passed, and the autumn wind was blowing on the way to get off work, and it was a bit cool. This was a good time to take a walk.
After dinner, I walked under the flying fallen leaves holding Lin Yuxue's hand. If there were flowers at this time, how romantic it would be.
But at this time, the sunset, the geese flying south, and the lover around Lin Yuxue's face was filled with happiness.
"Brother Yun, this is great. Xiaoxue wants to be like this for the rest of her life and always stays with Brother Yun."
This is what all passionate lovers expect, together for a lifetime.
Liu Feiyun tightly held her hand and promised: "Don't worry, Brother Yun will always be with you, this life, the next life, forever."
"Well, Xiaoxue believes in you."
At this time, women were much simpler than modern people. As long as they identified one person, they would remain unswerving until death.
The sunset overlaps the figures of the two, from dawn to darkness, reflecting the black hair to white hair, and love and sweetness always run through the two.
Unfortunately, Liu Feiyun still has to go to work during the day. He might have been a little curious about his words before, but now, he is boring and really boring in the government office all day long.
Just now the weather is getting cooler, so he finally doesn't have to stay in the monotonous government office.
With Liu Yi, he now has an enemy and only one life, so it is better to have some guarantee in this regard.
The first thing I went to was the mall, which is becoming more and more prosperous and lively. With more and more merchants moving in, he also expanded the scale of the mall from time to time, becoming an independent market.
After entering, there were two worlds, shouting and various fragrances lingered.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of herbal tea." Liu Feiyun said to a boss.
"Okay, it's the county magistrate, come for you." The owner of the herbal tea shop poured him a bowl and respectfully brought it to him: "I haven't been here for a long time."
"The weather is quite hot, and I've been busy lately." Liu Feiyun said, how could he tell the story of his daze in the government office? This would damage his glorious image.
"Sir, I have a lot of things to do every day, and this is all for us ordinary people. I'm here to treat you to this bowl of old man. Thank you for your hard work." The boss is very enthusiastic.
Liu Feiyun did not refuse, and just regarded it as an endorsement fee for himself. Because of his arrival, many people also sat down to have tea with him and greeted him a few words, and he responded with kindness.
"Then I'll leave first, the boss's business is booming." After drinking, I didn't stay for him, there were still many things waiting for him.
"Sir, walk slowly." The boss waved his hand and then continued his business, but he would boast about everyone he saw: "Sir, I just drank tea at my small stall. I am really approachable."
"Yes, our county magistrate is the real parent-official official."
"Come on, let's sit down and try what this tea that adults like."
This is the star benefit, driving consumption.
Liu Feiyun's appetite was wide open, and the fragrance attracted greed, stinky tofu, fried dough sticks, rice cakes... and could not walk any way.
After a hundred steps after the meal, I lived to ninety-nine. The hundred steps here are a slow walk. After a walk around, Liu Feiyun was carrying a small box of pastries in his hand. Could it be that he would come out and take it back to his wife to taste it in the evening?
"Sir." Liu Yi, who was standing next to Liu Feiyun, suddenly approached him and whispered: "Someone is following us behind."
"Can you tell who it is?" The two of them did not show any abnormality and kept their smiles unchanged. Liu Feiyun spoke as if they were normal: "How many people can kill them in remote places?"
"There are five people who discovered it, but I feel that there should be many in the dark, and I only need to protect your safety."
As a professional, this premonition is sometimes very accurate. Liu Yi feels that these people are not ordinary, so it is more important to protect his valley owner.
"Then pretend that I didn't find anything, and then go back to the government office first."
They were in peace all the way, and these people didn't dare to do it directly on the street. After returning to the government office, they locked up in the room. Liu Feiyun thought for a while and said, "Liu Yi, don't take the initiative to find them. They will follow us today, and they should be exposed next time. Taking the initiative will easily lead to exposure. When they come out again, they will arrange for people to see if they can catch them all in one place."
"I understand. When I ask Liu Er and the others to come secretly, they may choose to take action when you go back."
"Um."
He would not neglect his life at all, but he was even more worried that they would suddenly attack his family. He reminded: "Let them strengthen their guards at home, and never let Xiaoxue and the others get anything wrong."
"Don't worry, even if we sacrifice our lives, we will never let the mistress hurt the slightest."
Liu Yi immediately went down to make arrangements because they didn't know which camp this group of people belonged to, and why they followed Liu Feiyun, and they didn't understand when they would suddenly take action. Naturally, the sooner they prepared, the better.
"Is it from the Han family or the Dark Wolf Pavilion?" I just wanted to live a peaceful life, but there were always people who couldn't get along with me.
"I hope you don't force me, otherwise you will do anything..." If possible, Liu Feiyun didn't want to live a hiding life with Lin Yuxue, but he had to force him to kill someone and escape, and he was not without a way out.
When I went back in the evening, I didn't meet that group of people again on the road. Could it be that it was a coincidence that they were not following him? But he believed that Liu Yi was not right to be careful no matter what.
"Is it really a coincidence?" In the next few days, he was also very skilled and brave, using himself as bait, but the person he followed seemed to have disappeared and never appeared again.
After a few times, he did not take the initiative to seduce him, otherwise it would make people feel obvious. It would be better to pretend that he didn't notice their goodness.
It is rainy and rainy in autumn, so there are fewer pedestrians on the road. If there is nothing wrong with this kind of weather, you will generally not go out.
The group of people really disappeared. Liu Feiyun thought to himself that they might have found their whereabouts leaked and retreated decisively.
However, he did not lower his vigilance, but instead asked the valley for help to see if there were any clues and sent more security team members.
Things are always crowded, and the weather just happened to catch up. The rain kept the taxed food from being transported. Then the tax collectors had to settle the tax, which was simply asking for trouble for him.
He was unwilling to deal with these strangers, so he directly handed them over to Ji Fugu, while he claimed to visit the villages and understand the sufferings of the people.
But in fact, I directly found a restaurant and asked for a private room to enjoy the storm and autumn.
"Let's go." A few days later, two days of sunny days were finally there, and the personal tax officials left without stopping. After all, the tax issue is urgent, and the above will not let you delay it.
Ji Fu is now in the same mood as the county magistrate at the time. He is speechless: "Sir, you have left, but Sir, is this really OK?"
"What's wrong? It's not harmful to the world and it doesn't hinder them. Can I still punish them? Besides, I'm talking about investigating the people's situation. Winter is coming soon. I'm asking about the people's lack of it in advance. I'm a good official." Liu Feiyun grasped the standard.
"I believe you have a ghost." Ji Fu said, if I hadn't been able to know your character so that I could have known it. So I said against my will: "Old man is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, so I am good."
"Well, it's almost time. I have nothing to do today. Let's go back and rest early."
"Then be careful on the road, and the students will leave first."
