Chapter 399 Two Kings (1)

"Come in," said Wang Ju.

Qiongniang looked at the Poche Army commander Xia Shu and more than 20 other people in surprise.

Wang Ju often met guests, including officials, gentry, people, and soldiers. This was normal. But these twenty or so people were dressed incorrectly, all wearing armor and riding war horses. Her eyes turned around and suddenly she understood.

Of course, she would not ask about it. Wang Ju was even more reluctant to bring outside things to his home. He seemed to want to build a world of Taoyuan in this small home...

Qiongniang poured tea for more than 20 people.

Wang Ju glanced at her with praise. Although this woman was too smart sometimes, she made him feel a little disliked and hesitated. However, she was good at dancing and was very good at picking up customers. She was very good at picking up customers.

Qiong Niang brewed tea, Wang Junu nodded, and Qiong Niang stepped back knowingly.

"Shi Yu, tell me."

"Fang ordered to set up a house in the city..."

"I understand this, you can skip it," Wang Ju said.

Since Li Jiqian's rebellion and lost the northwest, the Song Dynasty has been short of horses. Two or three cavalry battalions have a war horse. If they arrive in the capital, the horses will be handed over to the pastoral supervisor, so the cavalry battalions often become a decoration.

So Shaanxi organized some foreign camps. If the foreigners had horses and were willing to join the foreign army, the court would take out some money to "buy", which would symbolically take out dozens of stakes and turn their private horses into official horses. They would take out some money every year to treat them as horse raising costs.

But in fact, the British army also lacked war horses, so it can only be said that it was slightly better than the cavalry battalions of the various imperial guards.

Therefore, this limited cavalry was stationed together on the four small roads in the border area. First, there were some small grasslands on the border that could be grazed, and second, they could be devoted to the battle in time.

It turned out that there was no Chang'an area, but it was a blessing that Wang Ju and Han Qi, Wang Ju and Cai Ting obtained a large number of war horses at the victory of Dashun City. Cai Ting retained some war horses and set up the Poche cavalry battalion, but he did not dare to set up more. The rest was given to the court and set up in various cavalry battalions. After Han Qi came to Chang'an, in order to be flexible and maneuverable, he also transferred four cavalry battalions to station in the surrounding areas of Chang'an.

The problem is that these cavalry battalions may also have problems with other cavalry battalions, but they cannot know that they are not under the eyes of Wang Ju and Zhang Ju.

Among them, two battalions of commanders, three Dutou, and seven other generals and schools participated in the horse selling case one after another.

The two battalions also set up a house in Chang'an City and bought a concubine to live the life of a young rich man.

The money they bought houses and concubines was not only selling horses, but also some other gray income, such as deducting military pay, horse and grain, etc. However, they had to wait until the person was arrested before they could be investigated.

"Fang instructed my concubine to have a birthday today, and some friends from the camp came to celebrate, which was a good opportunity to capture."

It’s not that you can’t catch people in the military camp, but if you can’t catch people in the military camp, it’s going to be a problem.

"Xia Shu, you have done a good job. Thank you for your hard work during this period. Use this money to give your brothers tea." Wang Ju grabbed a stack of exchanges and said.

"Can't accept it."

"If you have merits, you will be rewarded, and if you have mistakes, you will be punished. This is also the rule in the army. Don't refuse, let's go to Chang'an now." Wang Ju said, calling Quan Er's eldest son to prepare horses.

Fei'er said, "Official, are you going out again?"

"You can go out and do something, and you probably won't be back tomorrow or the next day. You don't have to worry about it."

“Where to go?”

"Chang'an City."

Wang Ju turned over the horse and went south with Wang Shu and others.

"What are you going to do with your husband? He is in a panic."

"Fai'er, you haven't heard the edict, what do you say to convict the case of the officers and soldiers selling horses in Shaanxi? It must be that the cavalry soldiers sold the officials privately and let the court know. The official issued an edict to ask Dalang to investigate."

"These people are going to die," Fei'er said angrily. When Wang Ju bought horses in Huachi, she didn't know much about it, but she saw in Yanzhou that for this horse, both her and Zhu families wanted to pawn the property so that they could buy more horses for the officers and soldiers and increase the number of cavalry. The horse was not obtained through hard work, and these officers and soldiers dared to sell them privately.

"If these people are not good, they are really trying to die..." Qiong Niang thought to herself.

More than twenty horses were galloping on the plains. The construction time of Zhengbai Canal was really long. First, the project volume was large, the difficulty was high, and third, Wang Ju repaired it carefully and had strict quality requirements. Finally, Wang Ju also built some supporting facilities, such as roads, bridges, and those towns. The towns were considered profitable, but these roads and bridges were real people's livelihood.

Going south, large pieces of golden yellow have begun to appear.

Most of the arable land was completed last year, but it was reclaimed by the people just a few months after it was completed.

Now the barley is fragrant and the wheat is golden, and it is a harvest scene.

Some hard-working people planted mulberry trees. At this time, these mulberry trees began to have vitality and were green, but they were newly loaded for a while and had not grown up.

"Ming Gong, I want to thank you. In less than a few years, this place will become a large granary in Guanzhong." Xia Shu said.

"I can't thank me, I want to thank the officials. Most of the money was saved by the officials from the warehouse."

Xia Shu obviously disagrees.

But this is not easy to argue. Could it be that Wang Ju’s contribution is greater than that of the emperor?

"Summer, please remember one more thing: if you want to get it, you have to pay. That is, the canal construction has been completed and all arable land is well irrigated, but the canal workers must continue to repair it, and the arable land is being cultivated and sowed, so that there will be a harvest. Although the ninety battalions of Poches you have placed are exempt from all taxes and the court will give you money, it will be harder than the people if you have to work, train, and fight."

"It's also worth the hard work," said another ten general.

Especially this tax exemption, plus the payment of money, these two items can earn at least twenty coins a year.

A family planted one or two acres of mulberry fields, and the rest of them were planted with grain. In a few years, the family's life would soon improve, and this was a first-class fertile land.

This is also the reason why Miao Ju saw the appearance of the Poche Army, but they didn’t know what the concept of giving Wang Ju said.

The group entered Chang'an City, and Wang Ju first visited Qian Mingyi.

"Mr. Qian, this is the imperial edict of the court."

Qian Mingyi opened the edict and looked at it, and asked, "The horse sales case?"

"I heard this unintentionally, and I reported it to the officials, who asked me to investigate and handle the case. The Yongxing Army had four battalions of cavalry, two of which were instructed to participate in the case."

"Zi'an, be careful." Qian Mingyi said worriedly.

These are soldiers. They are not gentlemen, and they are not caught well. They become mutiny, and they will be bad at that time.

"Mr. Qian, don't worry, they sold the good horses in the camp to the capital, used this money to build a house in Chang'an City, and each bought two beautiful houses as concubines. The concubine who was instructed by the commander celebrated her birthday today, and was in the city. Please cooperate with Mr. Qian."

"It's easy to deal with in the city." Qian Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

This person is very interesting. Because he is weak and flattered, he was used as a spearhead by Lu Yijian to deal with Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi. Later, when he was a prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, the fake prince came and shouted, "Don't Mingyi afford it?" Then, as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, his face turned red and slowly rose up. Zhao Zhen saw that Comrade Xiao Qian, you know that Kaifeng Prefecture is not good. So he sent it to Caizhou. Zhiping was first appointed as a Hanlin scholar, but was bombed down one, two or three. Then he knew that Yongxing Army and Wang Ju came to repair the canal. As a result, the canal was repaired, and he killed several clerks.

Wang Ju doesn't care. Qian Mingyi is sad. Many verbal officials wrote letters to impeach him weak and incompetent, and he is incompetent in control of Wang Ju. But what can Qian Mingyi do?

Could it be that he led the man to catch Wang Ju?

When he met such a strong subordinate, he could only cry.

Later, Han Qi replaced him, and the little emperor was not bad, so he re-allocated him as a Hanlin bachelor. As a result, one, two, and three were bombarded again.

Then let it go.

The result was that it was exposed to this tragic Chang'an.

Therefore, he asked carefully: "Zi'an, what do the imperial court think about these soldiers?"

"Mr. Qian. Didn't you see it? Do it cheaply."

"Zi'an. It's not yet the season of solemnity." Qian Mingyi said tremblingly.

"Mr. Qian, I know." Wang Ju said perfunctorily.

Qian Mingyi sighed, but he was well-informed. He knew Wang Ju's position in the heart of the new emperor, so how could he dare to commit crimes. He lamented in his heart that Wang Ju didn't know what burden he would add to him, but why did Han Qi in Chang'an, you didn't kill anyone? But he still ordered that more than 30 yamen runners be sent to cooperate with Wang Ju's arrest.

Under the leadership of a ten general, Wang Ju rushed towards the city.

The area of ​​Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was amazing. Even if the city of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty expanded and expanded, it was still far less than that of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.

However, although Chang'an is large in area, it has never lived in the crowd. There are even many farmers in the southern city area growing vegetables and crops. During the Tianbao period, the population gradually became denser, and the Anshi Rebellion came. Later, it recovered slightly and Huang Chao came again. In the end, Zhu Wen couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply burned Chang'an with a fire.

Chang'an has slightly recovered some vitality in recent years, but by the time Li Yuanhao's army came to Chang'an, the city walls were not very perfect. They have only been barely perfected now, but the scale is far less than that of the Chang'an City of the Song Dynasty. Of course, it is still one of the big cities of the Song Dynasty, but it cannot be added with a special character before the big character.

Not very far away, Wang Ju quickly rushed to the house where Fang ordered him to set up.

The house is a bit off, but the environment is good, with green trees and birds singing in harmony.

There were noise and sounds of silk and bamboo coming from inside, probably all of whom were drinking and having fun.

"Punch in." Wang Ju said.

Dozens of people rushed in and several tables of banquets were held inside, and dozens of guests were there. A man in his thirties was hugging a young woman, who looked very charming and beautiful.

"Ming Gong, that's him." Xia Shu said, the man was instructed by Xia, and the young woman next to him was probably the concubine he bought. Wang Ju would not care about the concubines. He looked at these people.

"Who!" Fang ordered.

He didn't know Wang Ju, but he knew Qian Mingyi and immediately bowed: "I've met Mr. Qian, why..."

This situation is not very good, there are so many soldiers and yamen runners.

"Zi'an, read the edict."

"Here," Wang Ju read out the edict and said, "All idle people, please avoid them."

The arrests began, and ten of them were found here, only two were in the military camp.

"Check the property," Wang Ju said again.

"You can't copy it, that's the property of the people," the young woman finally shouted in horror.

"I am the security guard Wang Ju. It is your property. I will not move. Do not stop business." Wang Ju said.

The person was taken to Chang'an prison first.

Wang Ju asked Xia Shu to lead his men and the yamen runners to capture the remaining two. Those two were just Little Luo. Even if they entered the military camp to arrest people, there would be no big storm.

"Report to the court." Qian Mingyi said.

"Mr. Qian, why did the official family issue an edict to let the official do the job cheaply?"

"That's just the word cheap."

"Mr. Qian, then the official asked again, are these people illegal for the injunction?"

ps: It's stuck. Yesterday, I copied this update twice in a row, but it didn't work. Today I still seem to be a little dizzy and slumped. (To be continued)
