The imperial brother kneels and begs me to marry my daughter-in-law

"The notice was posted, what happened?"

"Why are there so many people around, go over and have a look."

In the busiest place of the first market on the [-]th in Ganzhou, several officers and soldiers posted a notice on the bulletin board.The masses joined in the fun and the crowd was packed.

"Let's go, let's go." The soldiers who had finished posting the notice asked the people to disperse so that a civilized official brought along with them could stand on the high platform and speak.

"Come here and listen." The official shouted loudly, and the common people moved closer, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"According to His Majesty's order, Zhou Guo is now implementing reforms, and the first batch of decrees have come out. Zhou Guo's new law stipulates: abolish well fields, farmland is private, transferable, and tradeable. In the future, taxes will be levied on the basis of head.

In addition, according to Zhou Xin's national law, there will be rules for rewards and punishments in the future.Regardless of common people and nobles, those who have done meritorious service can be promoted and added titles, and those who break the law will be dealt with according to the law.Soldiers who have meritorious service will be rewarded!Those who are excellent in farming will be rewarded!Those who have made meritorious deeds to the country will also be rewarded! "

Because most of the people gathered in the market were illiterate people, the officials explained the key points of the new law to them in the most common language.

"It's true, it can't be a lie! Can you believe it?"

"I don't believe it. I think it's because the country can't recruit soldiers. Let's trick everyone into joining the army."

"That's right, the farmland is private, how is it possible. The lords will not agree, they will not take a stone less grain."

The common people talked a lot and were skeptical about the new law.

The official also heard the people's discussion, and said again: "It's all true! Everything has rules and regulations. Not only here, but also all over the country announced the new law today, and there are also gentlemen who understand the law to explain it to everyone. The local officials have also received the new French documents. They will be announced for you in the near future!"

"It's a lie! I don't believe it! The government never counts on what it says! It used to talk about reducing taxes! But when I returned to my hometown, there was no tax at all, and taxes were raised! The lords of our township don't listen to your government at all! "Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

It doesn't matter this shout, the people echoed one after another.In recent years, the Zhou government has also promulgated some laws that benefit the people, such as tax cuts and other policies.But the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the lords of the fiefs will come or go as they please, which leads to the extremely low credibility of the Zhou State government in the hearts of the people.

Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an were also watching from the crowd not far away, wanting to see the people's reaction to the promulgation of the new law.

"The government has no credibility, and the people don't believe it. How can the new law be implemented?" Lin Zhong said anxiously.

Xiao Shuan also frowned with anxiety.

Lin Xiu originally thought that the government of the State of Zhou had prestige, otherwise how could they recruit so many soldiers every year.It seems that the tyranny is really fiercer than a tiger. Most of the common people are forced to join the army.

"It seems that before the new law is promulgated, the government needs to establish trust." Lin Xiu sighed.

"How to establish trust in a short period of time, the prestige that the emperor has worked so hard to establish has been squandered by these dog officials!" Xiao Shu'an said angrily.

"Look at you, you are always so irritable. Now that a new official has taken office, the government has re-behaved. Let's let the common people know that it's okay, so why are you so angry?" Since Lin Xiu was spotted by Xiao Shuan that day, His words always run against Xiao Shu'an everywhere.It's just that Xiao Shu'an has always been very calm, but today she caught him once.

Xiao Shu'an gave her a blank look: "Do you have a solution?"

"That's natural." Lin Xiu said cheaply, just waiting for Xiao Shu'an to beg herself to speak.She is familiar with the method of moving wood and establishing faith.

Xiao Shu'an didn't speak, and only looked Lin Xiu up and down, making her hairy all over.

"Look what I do?"

"Nothing, I just remembered that night..."

"Stop!" Lin Xiu knew what Xiao Shuan wanted to say as soon as she heard the word 'that night'. "Don't irritate me, I have a bad heart, if you irritate me, no one will make a letter to the government."

"Then do things well before I provoke you." Xiao Shu'an is also used to bickering with Lin Xiu every day.

"Zhou Papi!" Lin Xiu said in a low voice, "Ah Zhong, go and get three pieces of heavy armor, one iron helmet, fifty crossbows, one iron dagger, and three days' worth of food for one person. Come."

"Where can I get it?" Lin Zhong asked straightforwardly.

Lin Xiu was really choked up.Fortunately, my daughter-in-law made a relief with understanding.

"Rufeng, you go with Ah Zhong."

"promise."

"Princess, I have to trouble you." Lin Xiu smiled flatteringly.

"Go ahead."

"You have a good relationship with your cousin, don't you? He's a great general. You ask him to bring a group of elite soldiers over. The ones who don't have officers. I'm going to pick an officer out of it today."

Xiao Shu'an probably guessed what Lin Xiu wanted to do, but he didn't know whether it was feasible or not.But she did.

After a while, Lin Zhong and Rufeng came back, and Xiao Shuan also brought a team of soldiers, a total of two to three hundred people.Not only brought the soldiers, but also brought their general Chen Yunjian.

Now that everything was ready, Lin Xiu didn't delay any longer.She climbed up to the high platform where the officials stood, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet."

The noisy crowd was quiet for a second or two, and then they became noisy again.

"who is this?"

"do not know."

"It's really thin and thin. I guess it will be blown down by a gust of wind."

"Quiet! Listen to me!" Lin Xiu said again. Fortunately, everyone finally gave some face and calmed down.

"I'm Zhou Guoxin's new national teacher, Lin Xiu."

"He is a national teacher. He looks like this. Is such a person reliable as a national teacher?"

Lin Xiu wanted to vomit blood when she heard the comments in the underground, is she so jealous because of her good looks?

Seeing that Lin Xiu couldn't suppress the public discussion, Xiao Shu'an stepped forward.

Xiao Shuan stepped onto the high platform, and the soldiers sang: "Princess Yongning is here!"

The originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet.Common people don't know how to salute, but they still understand the reason to keep their mouths shut.After all, these officials may not be able to do anything to them. A noisy person can be cut down, but a group of people, no official dares.But the princess is different, she is a royal family, if she dares, no one dares to test.

Xiao Shuan stood beside Lin Xiu without saying a word.Looking at the quiet people below, Lin Xiu admitted that she was sour. Is this the difference between people?What is the use of being a national teacher?But it's okay, fortunately, this person is his daughter-in-law and one of his own.Lin Xiu could only comfort herself like this.

"Everyone doesn't trust the Zhou government, I can understand. After all, we did not do well in the past, so His Majesty decided to implement the reform. Today, the Zhou government is implementing the first decree here." Lin Xiu asked Lin Zhong to bring him Take those things on the high platform.

"I asked General Chen to bring three hundred soldiers today." Only then did everyone realize that there were three hundred soldiers standing neatly behind them. "These soldiers are ordinary people just like you. They may have made military exploits on the battlefield, but they didn't have the chance to be promoted. Today, I will give them a chance."

Lin Xiu said loudly to the soldiers in the rear: "Listen, all generals, who can wear the armor of three attributes, bear fifty arrows, put the spear on it, win three days of food, and travel hundreds of miles in the middle of the day, and immediately be named the capital!" Captain!"

Duwei, a fifth-rank military officer, is not a particularly high official position, but for these common people's children.It is a position that has always been elusive.These positions have been occupied by the clan and nobles all year round, and the common people have no chance at all.Lin Xiu's reward is really not stingy, it can even be said to be very generous.

"Tch, I'm playing tricks again. How difficult is it for me to wait for an elite teacher to meet these requirements. Who has ever been a captain?"

"That is, if it is done, maybe they will be convicted, and they will not admit it if they find fault. I don't believe it."

Chen Yunjian was thoughtful when he heard the soldiers whispering.

"Is there someone to challenge?" Lin Xiu asked.

None of the soldiers below was willing to go up.They think that they are just going to be played with, and after working hard for a long time, they get nothing in the end, and maybe they will be punished.

In the team, there was a soldier who was very entangled.The soldier's name was Qi Jin, he was usually reticent and had few friends in the army.He came to join the army because his elder brother died in battle, and there was no male in the family, so he could only make up for him.

He has always performed well on the battlefield, and the generals have praised him a lot.But he has never been rewarded with any official position. He has always been dissatisfied. He is the same person. If a child of a family can do it, why can't he do it?Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!

"I would like to try it!" Qi Jin summoned up his courage and said loudly!

"Okay! The strong man please come to the front." Lin Xiu hurriedly invited the strong man to come forward. She was worried that she might be in the cold today.Fortunately, there is still a man of blood. If you dare not step forward to such a big reward, you are really a fool.

"What's the name of the little brother?" Lin Xiu asked kindly.

"Qi Jin."

"Okay, brother Qi is a bloody man! If you fulfill the requirements today, I will keep my promise!"

"Qi Jin will believe in the teacher as soon as he returns to the country."

"Okay, let's take this market as a circle and go around the market for about two miles. You carry these things on your back and walk around the market fifty times. If you complete it within five hours, it will be considered a success. How about it?"

"Qi Jin has no objection." Qi Jin said solemnly.

"Okay, Ah Zhong, give him the things."

Lin Zhong put those things on Qi Jin's back.In this way, Qi Jin put on three layers of heavy armor, carried fifty arrows on his back, and three days' food, and started walking with an iron spear in his hand.

"Time!" Lin Xiu ordered when she saw that Qi Jin had started.

The soldiers behind him took out the hourglass to time the time.

"Everyone can watch here, see if Brother Qi can complete the challenge."

"I think Brother Qi can complete it, but I don't know if the National Teacher will fulfill his promise?" A bold shouted from the crowd.

"The big guy is here to see if I will keep my promise, okay?" Lin Xiu said kindly.

"Okay! We're not leaving, we're here today to see if the national teacher is trustworthy." The big guys said together.

Some people still walked with Qi Jin seriously. Lin Xiu watched a group of people walk with Qi Jin in the inner circle amusedly on the stage, and cheered Qi Jin up from time to time.Tell him to fight for his breath, to win and so on.

However, the remaining soldiers that Chen Yunjian brought before were a little uninterested.Most of them regretted it a little. They thought that no one would go up, and then the national teacher would be ugly.

But they didn't expect Qi Jin to go to this kid. They knew whether this kid could do it.No one doubted Qi Jin's strength, but if the national teacher really did it for this kid Captain, then they would really regret it to death.If I had known it earlier, I would have done it myself.

Lin Xiu didn't care about those spectators, walked up to Chen Yunjian and said, "General Chen, do you think Qi Jin can succeed in this challenge?"

"The national teacher doesn't have to doubt the ability of my soldiers." Chen Yunjian said confidently.

"That's good. I'm really afraid that today's reward won't be distributed." Lin Xiu felt relieved.

"It's just that the national teacher's reward is child's play?" Chen Yunjian somewhat disagreed with Lin Xiu's approach.

"What's the matter? The country is promoting reform. There must be supporters. If you don't give benefits to supporters, how can there be supporters?" Lin Xiu teased.

"How can an official position be rewarded at will, and the national teacher didn't say that there are rules for rewards and punishments. Doing so is definitely not a contradiction?"

"The premise of rewards and punishments is rules. Before the challenge, I have already agreed on the rules of rewards. It is not a random reward. If Qi Jin can complete the challenge, it means that he is an excellent soldier. Whether he is a good captain or not will only be known after he does it. General, seizing opportunities is also a kind of ability. The method of reform is to open up the channel for ordinary people to go to the upper class. If you are given the opportunity and still can't seize it, then you can't blame others.

Today I want the common people and soldiers to know that the country has given them the opportunity to be promoted, but they have to seize it themselves.Don't think that opportunities are always there.There are only so many official positions, so many military achievements, and only so much land.I said that I support land reclamation and cultivation, meritorious service and promotion, if they are not active.Then don't blame the active people for finishing the land reclamation and military exploits.

Qi Jin can be a captain today, and someone else can be a general tomorrow.People who are not active will always be soldiers. "Lin Xiu has a different view.

"It's too utilitarian to do so." Chen Yunjian disagreed with Lin Xiu's words.

Lin Xiu also understood Chen Yunjian's thoughts, so she was not angry: "General, you know that people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. There is nothing wrong with pursuing profits, as long as it is done through legitimate means. And you are on the side of those with vested interests, General." Stand to speak.

Just think about it, general, if you are just a commoner, you can only be a small corps leader if you have made great military exploits.You were born and sold to death on the battlefield, and your parents worked diligently for a lifetime, but in the end you got very little.Can you still say something like 'utility'? "

Chen Yunjian thought about it seriously, and said frankly, "I can't tell."

Lin Xiu continued: "General, do you know why I advocate the rule of law, not the rule of man."

"I don't know."

"Because the rule of law doesn't punish people's hearts." Lin Xiudao: "We can't ask everyone to be a saint. We ask them to live and die for the country, but they can't pursue interests. We can't ask them to be loyal and patriotic, so they make selfless sacrifices.

You and I are all mortals, so why bother asking the people?They just want to live a good life.If you work hard, you will be able to eat enough, and you will be promoted in the military.What's wrong with that?I don't care what they think, I only care what they want to do.

The princes and ministers keep talking about their family and country, how many people are really loyal and patriotic, and give up their lives?Your Majesty is promoting reforms, why do they not agree?Isn't it a word '利'?

There is no shame in chasing profit.It is shameful to force others to be great.General, don't be generous with others. "

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Chen Yunjian gave a wry smile: "I thought that the national teacher and apprentice had their appearance, but today, it seems that the national teacher has real talents and practical learning. Yun Jian feels ashamed."

Lin Xiu said magnanimously: "The general is self-effacing. I am no match for the general when I go to battle to kill the enemy. You and I each have our own strengths."

"Yun Jian sincerely apologizes for her rudeness that day."

"If the general doesn't mention it, I'll forget about it. It's nothing to worry about, the general should not take it to heart. I don't want to have a bad relationship with the general. In the future, I still want to work with the general."

"If there is such a day, Yun Jian will be honored."

"It will be soon." Lin Xiudao: "I have proposed a set of military reforms to His Majesty, but it is still immature and is still in the discussion stage. If the general is interested, you and I will go to Your Majesty to discuss it together. With an experienced staff officer like the general, I am more confident."

"Yun Jian is very happy." Chen Yunjian is also a gentleman, and he has no unfair views on Lin Xiu.

"Maybe, this Qi Jin is the first officer in the military reform." Lin Xiu looked at Qi Jin who was already running in the distance.

Qi Jin originally planned to save his strength and walk slowly, but the chattering of the crowd was too annoying.He simply jogged, but within an hour, he had already completed one-third of the journey.

Seeing Lin Xiu and Chen Yunjian chatting and laughing not far away, Xiao Shu'an felt a little uncomfortable.Aren't these two people against each other?Why are you still talking so happily.

"By the way, Shu'an came to see me that day. I said some stupid things, brother Lin, don't mind, and apologize to Shu'an on my behalf. I really don't know how to mention that day to her." The two became acquainted Get up and start calling each other brothers.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiu didn't understand.

"It was the time when Shu An came to see me on the second day of your wedding." Chen Yunjian lowered her head and reminded her bravely.

"The second day of the wedding..." Lin Xiu began to recall that she seemed to be writing a new law at home on the second day of the wedding.Xiao Shu'an... Oh, Xiao Shu'an said that she was out of the house on business, yet he asked her what she was doing.She said... she said something, but forgot.Do you dare to go to Chen Yunjian?

Lin Xiu suddenly felt that the jealous jar was overturned in her heart. On the second day of the wedding, his wife ran out to find her old lover!He also said he didn't like his cousin!

"Brother Lin?" Lin Xiu remained silent for a long time, and Chen Yunjian didn't understand what was going on.

"Oh." Lin Xiu said awkwardly: "What happened that day, An'er told me when he came back. Brother Chen, don't worry, An'er and I are not angry at all." Lin Xiu deliberately called Xiao Shu'an intimately 'An'er'.He also pretended to know about it.

"That's good, so I can rest assured. I've been worrying about this these days. I'm afraid that you and Shu An will feel unhappy." Chen Yunjian was really relieved.

"No, brother Chen thinks too much. An'er and I are getting along very well. Hey, I'll go over and see, Qi Jin seems to be coming to an end soon." Lin Xiu found an excuse and walked away.

"Yeah. Brother Lin, go and do your work."

When Lin Xiu came back, Xiao Shu'an asked, "Aren't you at odds with your cousin? Why have you been talking to him for so long?"

Lin Xiu deliberately ignored Xiao Shu'an with a dark face, feeling furious in her heart.This woman who cuckolded herself on the second day of her wedding!hateful!

"What are you doing?" Lin Xiu ignored Xiao Shuan and walked straight past. Xiao Shuan grabbed Lin Xiu's wrist and looked around.Lin Xiu turned around and said unhappily.

"What's wrong? Cousin made you angry?" Xiao Shu'an asked with concern, seeing that Lin Xiu didn't speak, he explained: "I saw you talking and laughing with cousin, I thought you didn't go over there if you didn't have any grudges. He is Didn't he be rude to you again?"

"What can you do if you are rude?" Lin Xiu said angrily.

"I can vent my anger on your behalf." Xiao Shu'an comforted her gently.But Lin Xiu's ideal is not like this.Xiao Shu'an asked Chen Yunjian to vent his anger, how can he vent his anger?Could it be a fight like that between lovers?Xiaofen punched Chen Yunjian a few times, and Chen Yunjian grabbed Xiao Shuan's wrist, hugged her into his arms, and said, "You hurt my heart." 'Then the two started flirting with each other... Hey!Lin Xiu felt cold just thinking about it.

"You don't need to worry about it!" Lin Xiu put down a sentence, stepped onto the high platform by herself, and ignored Xiao Shu'an.Xiao Shu'an couldn't figure out why his cousin made Lin Xiu so angry.Lin Xiu was not angry at the excessive humiliation at the wedding banquet last time.It seems that this time it must be more excessive.

It's inconvenient because there are too many people now, and she will have to go to her cousin later, so she has to give a good warning!

"It's the last lap! It's almost the end of the run!"

Qi Jin is already on the last lap.The crowd started to get excited.They cheered and shouted.

"Brother Qi! Come on!"

"It's the last lap! Let's see if the National Teacher means what he says!"

"That's right, let's see what the national teacher said!"

"50 laps! It's over!" With the last count of the soldiers, Qi Jin completed the challenge.People are already tired and sweaty, and their lips are chapped.

"Help him around quickly and give him some water. Drink it slowly!" Lin Xiu instructed.

After five or six minutes, Qi Jin calmed down.The crowd surrounded him, all waiting to see the result.Seeing that Qi Jin had rested, Lin Xiu said loudly on the high platform:

"This official is ordered by His Majesty to carry out reforms. He is in charge of the country's political affairs and has the right to promote and demote rewards and punishments. Now I appoint Qi Jin as the captain! From the fifth rank! Qi Jin, follow up quickly." Lin Xiu said what Xiao Shuan had prepared before. Military attache accessories were presented to Qi Jin with both hands.

With tears in his eyes, Qi Jin said excitedly, "Thank you, Master Guo!" After fighting in the battlefield for so long, he finally got an official job, "In the future, I can support my parents!" He cheered happily.

"That's great! The national teacher really counts what he says!"

"It seems to be true, not a lie!"

"Everyone be quiet, listen to me!" Lin Xiudao: "The government establishes trust, and Qi Jin deserves to be rewarded for his meritorious service. Don't be envious, everyone will have a chance in the future. The new law stipulates that you can open rice paddies, buy and sell land! In the future Tax by head, everyone can have surplus food!

There are also soldiers who fight on the battlefield, regardless of common people and nobles!Promote according to merit!From now on, as long as you have military merits, you will be the next Qi Jin! "

"Common people can also be promoted! I want to join the army too! I want to be a general!"

"I'll go too, I'll go too! If I can be appointed as an official and rewarded with a title, even if I die, I am willing!"

The people were enthusiastic for a while.

"The new law has been promulgated in all counties and counties, and they are also equipped with special officials. If you don't understand anything, if you want to know more about it, go to the head of the village where you belong, and they will explain it to you." When the new law was enacted, Lin Xiu suggested that His Majesty train a group of bachelors to study the content of the new law.When the new law is promulgated, let them go down to the townships and counties to popularize the law to the local people.

"Great! I have to go back and ask."

"I'm back too!"

"Everyone go back and have a good understanding. Those who should open up wasteland, and those who are willing to join the army, the better days will come in the future!" Lin Xiu was very happy.

Seeing the common people scrambling to go back to inquire about the content of the new law, Xiao Shu'an couldn't help but admire Lin Xiu's ability.No problem seems to be a problem for Lin Xiu.

After the people left, Lin Xiu came down from the high platform and passed by Xiao Shu'an.

"Humph!"

Xiao Shu'an: "..." Where did she mess with this ancestor?
