Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

The Baiyue people's village is backed by Niulan Mountain and faces Niulan River. The land is fertile and the seasons are like spring.

Even in autumn, the greenery has not receded, and there are still many small wild flowers blooming in the fields.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, but neither the farmers returning home nor the women washing rice and vegetables could be seen, and the whole village seemed a little silent.

The slaves nestled in their huts, waiting quietly, maybe tomorrow they will change a master.

In the middle of the stockade, where the nobles lived, some people were lying here and there in disorder. The women's family hid with their children, but they were too frightened to cry out.

Jiang Shiyun entered the village at this time, with hundreds of armored soldiers riding on short-footed horses, came in a mighty way, and went straight to the Tufu in Nongnan.

In the lobby, Lin Fangxu and Nong Yan fought on equal terms, one side had excellent soldiers and the other had more people, neither of them had the upper hand, and no one could do anything to the other.

Nong Anacong was a little anxious, it would not be good for him to hold him for too long, but Lin Fangxu didn't care, he still had time to see if Nong Nan had died.

The eyes are closed, the chest is still heaving, it looks like he is not dead yet, does the anaconda still want to stay alive?

The stalemate battlefield, with the sound of the fierce horse breaking the door, has changed.

The handsome little brother with a long body like jade, riding that pony horse seemed uncoordinated, but with a wave of the red-tasseled spear, he was still imposing like a rainbow.

Lin Fangxu didn't have time to be happy, so he heard Jiang Shiyun blame: "Why did you fight like this? Didn't you let you hold back your temper?"

"Xiaoyun, it's really none of my business this time!"

Lin Fangxu was wronged and complained, and immediately shirked responsibility and said: "The Nong family is too careless, and they don't have a strategy in doing things. It is really unexpected to poison the banquet directly!"

The moment that Jiang Shiyun led people to break the door, Nong Bo knew that he was powerless.

He wants to kill two birds with one stone, and this Master Lin probably intends to do the same. It should be a lie to say that he will use his strength to inherit the Tufu.

The reinforcements have arrived, Lin Fangxu has not forgotten the scapegoat that Nong Ana gave him, and if he doesn't throw it away at this time, when will it be.

"Xiao Yun, you came at the right time for the indiscriminate killing of the anaconda's father. If you capture this thief, you will be able to clean up the house for the leader!"

As for whether Nong Nan would like to ask them for help?As far as he looked like he was going to die, it was up to him whether he wanted to or not.

The regular army of the guards and the native soldiers and slaves of the Baiyue tribe, this is also a battle without any suspense. The anaconda still wants to make a final struggle and lead the people from the Luo tribe to break out.

But under Hong Ying, it was just futile, and in the end he was defeated and captured.

From the time the anaconda was poisoned to the present, back and forth, the battle situation has been reversed several times, and several hours have passed.

However, Nong Nan was not dead at this time, squinting his eyes to look at Lin Fangxu, and said weakly: "Lin..., Mr. Lin... good method!"

Lin Fangxu snorted coldly, and didn't want to give him a look, so he just said to the people next to him: "Huang Baihu, Chief Nong has been poisoned, time is running out, you can give him a ride."

Huang Wanfu, originally named Ah Fu, was Huang Ali's father, a man over half a century old, and a slave of the Nong family who didn't even deserve a surname.

After listening to Lin Fangxu's words, Nong Nan was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart. Nong Yan's rebellious son didn't use a highly poisonous poison, otherwise he wouldn't have persisted till now. .

Looking at the soldiers coming over with wine glasses, Nong Nan always felt that he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember.

"Boss, let's go!" Even in the past few decades, Huang Wanfu still looks at Nongnan with deep-seated hatred.

Xu Shi's hatred was so familiar that it aroused Nong Nan's memory and recognized the person in front of him.

"It's you..., you lowly slave who betrayed the master! A bastard who forgot his ancestors...!"

Huang Wanfu didn't care about the abuse of the dying person, and directly poured down the poisoned wine. After two breaths, Nong Nan died.

The poisoned wine was poured from Lin Fangxu's table, see Nong Nan

After dying so quickly, Lin Fangxu couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "Nong Anaconda, you bastard! What you gave me is highly poisonous!"

"Should you not drink at all?" Jiang Shiyun worried from the side.

"I just dipped my lips, and didn't drink at all." After Lin Fangxu finished speaking, he immediately took out his handkerchief and wiped his lips.

It was already a month and a half after explaining and handling the follow-up matters. Lin Fangxu took Jiang Shiyun and settled down in a stilted building in Nongnan Tufu.

I plan to rest for one night and return to Qujing Fucheng tomorrow.

"I didn't expect that although Huang Wanfu was born as a slave, he is quite convincing in this Baiyue village." Jiang Shiyun soaked his feet, wiped them with a towel, and sighed.

Convincing people... You let him put down the blood-stained scimitar and see if he can convince others?

However, Baiyue's original slaves and poor people really believed in him.

"Since he can convince people, let him lead people to stay here tomorrow. Let's go back first, hand over the memorial, and wait for the court's reply before proceeding to the next step."

Lin Fangxu said, and handed Jiang Shiyun a cup of red date tea to warm his hands.

Jiang Shiyun was full of dislike for this not-so-sweet tea, but he still took a sip and nestled in the soft cushion with his hands.

"My lord, the anaconda is clamoring to see you." Huang Ali said in a low voice, knocking on the door.

"Do you want to go there?"

"I can roughly guess what he wants to say, but... let's go, I'll see what else he can say."

There is a dungeon in Nongnan's Tufu, and the anaconda is locked in it. When Lin Fangxu came, he still pretended to be calm, probably because he felt that he still had a bargaining chip.

"How does your lord plan to deal with Nongmou? Even if you kill your father, it's an internal matter of the Baiyue people, right? Don't lord Lin feel that he has overstepped his role?"

The anaconda thinks that what he said is right. The Yi people in Yunnan and Guizhou implement the chieftain system, and the native officials govern the native people. This is something that the court has approved.

If Lin Fangxu really wanted to kill him, he would be meddling in his own business. Not to mention that the Baiyue people disagreed, even other tribes would also object.

"Poisoning at the birthday banquet, Nong Dalang is such a careless person, is he going to tell me the rules now?"

Seeing Nong Bo's complexion, Lin Fangxu seemed to comfort him again: "Don't worry, although Nong Dalang poisoned this deity, this deity is not a fussy person, and will not kill you."

After all, he looked up to him and thought he would say something extraordinary.

Lin Fangxu felt that he had come here for nothing, and he was a little bit lacking in interest.

Seeing that he turned around and was going to leave, Nong Bo hurriedly said: "Master Lin has spent so much time calculating, isn't it because he thinks that Baiyue is powerful and disobedient?"

Trying to figure you out...? !Oh, you really think highly of yourself!

Lin Fangxu was amused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said flatly: "Continue talking."

"Father is dead, and only the next branch of the Nong family is left. No matter who in the side branch becomes the chieftain in the end, it will not be of much benefit to you. If you don't want to help me get this Tufu, I promise to respect you from now on. , Restrain Baiyue people to abide by the law and discipline, and never act recklessly again."

Seeing that Lin Fangxu's face was calm and he didn't give a reply, Nong Ana gritted his teeth and said, "If your lord agrees, Nong Ana will donate another ten thousand taels of silver to you every year."

In the territory of the Baiyue people, there is a small silver mine with an annual output of tens of thousands of taels, all of which are owned by the Tufu.

The high officials of the Han people have a good face, love political achievements, and are also greedy for money.

Nong Bo thinks that what he said just now can impress Lin Fangxu, who is not a chieftain, not to mention that Lin Fangxu is now holding his own handle, such a person can be used with confidence, isn't it.

If Lin Fangxu really just wants to change to an obedient chieftain, Nong Bo's suggestion is actually very good, but the problem is, he didn't intend to do so!How can it take so much effort to change the toast?

Of course, he is not that greedy for money, after all, his elder brother has sold golden thread tea in the past two years, which has subsidized him a lot.

for

Lin Fangxu didn't express his opinion on Nong Ana's thoughtful suggestion, but only perfunctorily said that he would consider it, and then left.

When Qujing arrived in the capital, there was naturally no waterway to travel, and the road was over mountains and ridges. It was already the end of October when Lin Fangxu's memorial was delivered to the capital.

Speaking of which, Lin Fangxu was able to deliver the memorial directly to the capital without going through the Yunnan Chief Envoy, which was also a privilege given by the emperor. For this reason, he envied a group of civil servants and military generals... Lin Liushou's family members are in full swing!

Lin Fangxu rushed to send over two memorials, one in front and one in back, one thin and one thick.

Near the end of the new year, the big bosses of the Six Departments of the imperial court, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dudu's Mansion are busy finishing up the big and small troubles of this year, such as the settlement of the household department's silver and grain, the statistics and names of the new recruits of the Ministry of Rites, etc.

There is really no end to it. For example, Yang Yan's third participation in the case, this year probably won't be the result of the quarrel. I just hope that it can be stabilized, have a stable year, and continue to quarrel next year.

When the emperor ordered people to take out the two memorials, the officials who participated in the early court did not show it on the surface, but they actually started to scold their mothers in their hearts.

who?Who is so ignorant! ... It's nothing to look for!

"Confucius, please read these two memorials of Lin Dongsheng." The emperor said.

Everyone: "..." Why is it him again!

"Nong Bo, a native of Baiyue, murdered his father and relatives...the first relatives with the surname Nong were killed and injured. The great chieftain, Nong Nan, was poisoned and died soon after he knew his fate. The entrusted minister wrote a letter on his behalf... saying that his son's morals are bad and his temperament is cruel. ,... Fearing that the people of the clan are in danger, I beg the imperial court to take care of them."

"The chieftain system in Yunnan and Guizhou was developed from the county system in the Tang and Song Dynasties. To this day, chieftains are cruel and harsh at home. They rarely rebel against the imperial court, harass surrounding villages, and there are constant fights and frictions between chieftain tribes... I think , the chieftain system should be changed to a system of exile officials, the head of the chieftain should be abolished, and the central government should be appointed as an exile official....And in the areas where the land was reformed and returned to the exile, the number of households should be checked, the land should be measured, taxes should be collected, cities should be built, official schools should be established, and the Yi people should be educated. At the same time, the original tax and service system of the chieftain was abolished, and the tax was levied on the basis of the land, just like other places in the Great Wei Dynasty."

Lin Fangxu's two memorials are closely related, the former is the introduction to the latter, and the latter is the solution to the former.

In the previous letter, Nongnan said that he did not raise his son well, and before he died, he entrusted Lin Fangxu to send a message to the court, asking the court of the Great Wei Dynasty to take over the Baiyue people, and not to fall into the hands of his rebellious son.

In the latter letter, in response to Nongnan's request and the analysis of the disadvantages of the chieftain system, Lin Fangxu proposed a strategy for reforming the land and returning it to the local people, as well as follow-up operations.

Whether Nong Nan really entrusted Lin Fangxu, including the emperor and the big bosses present, didn't care. With Lin Fangxu's means, even if he didn't entrust, he should be able to act as if he had entrusted it.

Everyone is more concerned about the latter. With the current military strength of the Great Wei, it is completely achievable to reform the land and return to the bloc. Everyone is just a little annoyed. Before, they were paying attention to the affairs of Shibo and Yintian, and ignored the barbarians in Yunnan and Guizhou for a while. This kid from the Lin family actually took the lead.

Even Kong Ge regretted it a bit. He was in charge of the Ministry of War. He had heard that the chieftain was in trouble before, and he had considered abolishing the chieftain system before, but he was distracted by other things before he thought of changing his career.

Reforming the land and returning it to the natives deprived the chieftains of their privileges, harmed their interests, and might even harm their lives.

But above the court, the decision-making is made by the Han officials, and no one cares about the opinions of the barbarian chieftains. As long as it does not harm their own interests, everyone agrees with the strategy that is beneficial to the country.

In the end, whoever proposed and whoever resolved it, the emperor recognized Lin Fangxu.

His memorial was approved, and the Ministry of Officials was asked to select Baiyueliu officials for a term of three years, and Lin Fangxu was asked to carry out reforms in Qujing Mansion.

To put it bluntly, let Lin Fangxu try it out first, and don't make too much fanfare at the beginning, and the scope should not be too broad.

After all, in addition to Yunnan and Guizhou, there are Yi tribes in Guangxi, Fujian and other places, not to mention Hami in the Tibetan area. If all the chieftains were to make trouble, no matter how strong Wei was, it would not be able to bear it.

Emperor's reply, sent to Lin Fangxu

When it was in his hand, it was already the end of the year, and the selected officials from Baiyue came with him.

The first official of the Great Wei Dynasty, the rank is the sixth rank, which is equivalent to a Zhizhou. He is not very familiar with Lin Fangxu, but it can be seen that he is a person with ideas.

Lin Fangxu didn't care too much about this, no matter if he had an idea, he wasn't someone who wanted to meddle in other matters.

Lin Fangxu quickly handed over all the follow-up matters, including the anaconda locked in the dungeon.

Afterwards, he hid in the backyard of the prefect's yamen in Qujing, and sneaked out with Fu Lang. Regarding the emperor's confession, Lin Fangxu planned to start again after the end of the year.

Qujing's annual festival is different from that of the capital city, and also different from that of Wuyi County.

Probably because of what happened to the Baiyue people, the chieftains of other tribes became even more in awe of the mansion lord, and one after another imitated the Han people and posted posts inviting him to attend the tribal gathering.

But Lin Fangxu refused. Firstly, he didn't want to have too many interactions, so as not to be difficult to do in the future. Second, Lin Fangxu was very cautious. He couldn't forget the rude provocations of these chieftains when he first came to Qujing.

Of course, the ultimate goal is that Lin Fangxu prefers to play with Jiang Shiyun at home rather than pulling pine needles, stepping on flowers, singing folk songs...

In the warm winter sun, we read the letters written by Lin Xiaomu together.

In fact, it should not be called a letter. After all, it is a thick stack, and ordinary books are not as thick as him.

The three-year-old child doesn't know many words, and the letter paper is basically filled with ghostly symbols, only his father, mother's father, and his own name are written in a decent way.

Lin Fangxu held Jiang Shiyun who was sitting on his lap with one arm, and struggled for a long time with a page of paper in the other.

I really don't understand what is meant by the fact that there are five branches growing on this stick, and there is a red writing brush that is not very straight and too slender behind it.

Jiang Shiyun took a look and guessed: "A hand and a brush? Are you saying that he has started to practice calligraphy?"

"Is it a red writing brush? It doesn't matter if you are learning to paint." Jing Fulang reminded Lin Fangxu suddenly realized.

Lin Xiaomu, who was far away in the capital, was holding a custom-made red-tasseled pistol in his hand. He was wearing a red exercise uniform. He was well-raised by Shang Daoyu, with a chubby face and a firm expression.

He is showing the few marksmanship he just learned to his uncle and cousin.

Uncle said that if the two armies were to fight, apart from anything else, their bravery and courage would surely surpass each other.

So every time Lin Xiaomu swung a gun, he would shout loudly, thinking that he was unparalleled in momentum.

In the eyes of Lin Fangqin and Lin Xiuhao, it was an indescribable Coke, the little guy with fat hands and legs, he was waving unsteadily and unsteadily, but he still had a serious face, and there was a childish voice, "Hehe...haha!"

Lin Xiuhao was already holding back his laughter, his face was flushed, his shoulders were shaking, Lin Fangqin was smiling, and watched the little man play until the end, finishing with a majestic finish.

Immediately took the red fox cloak, wrapped the person around, and hugged him.

"Uncle, uncle just taught me this. I learned it after only two days of learning." Lin Xiaomu said a little proudly.

"En... yes, Xiaomu is very talented, and he practiced well." Lin Fangqin praised with his eyes closed.

"Really...?" Lin Xiaomu was a little happy, thinking that although his uncle didn't practice martial arts, he was very discerning.

"I wrote to my father and my father about my martial arts practice, and I also said that the weapon I chose is the same as my father's, which is also a red-tasseled gun."

Grandfather said that Mu's father was stronger than his uncles, so Lin Xiaomu took it for granted that the red tasseled spear was the most powerful weapon.

Lin Xiuhao listened for a long time, and now he was a little surprised: "You can write letters! How many words do you know?"

Lin Xiaomu blushed, and said a little embarrassedly: "Of course I can write! I already know quite a few characters..."

Lin Fangqin wanted to run a tea house since he was an accountant, and his husband wanted to run a tea mountain and make tea by himself.

Now Jinsi Tea has gained a reputation, and Nan Ziyou's tea payment has also been settled, earning a lot of money.

Therefore, Lin Fangqin planned to realize his dream and came to the capital during Chinese New Year, planning to open the unique Jinsi tea house here.

After all, there are not many people in Wuyi County who can afford golden silk tea, and apart from the [-]% given to the emperor, there is not much left over to sell to Nan Ziyou.

Lin Fangqi, who participated in this year's examination, and Lin Xiuhao, who was sneering and clamoring to learn more, also came together.

In the autumn examination, Lin Fangqi got [-]th place, and he felt that he was quite sure of taking the examination this year.

Lin Xiuhao also passed the boy's examination. He got the first place in the provincial examination and the government examination, and the third place in the college examination. He was very discouraged because he didn't get three grades in primary and secondary schools like his uncle.

Therefore, he did not take part in this year's provincial examination because he felt that even if he took part, he would probably fail to understand Yuan, and Lin Fangqin was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
