"Morning, General Rufeng!" Xiao Shuan arrived at the barracks early in the morning, greeted Rufeng with a smile.
His Majesty's reward memorial came very quickly.Rufeng made a lot of contributions in this war and was named a fifth-rank general.She is the second female general after Xiao Shu'an, and the women's barracks are discussing this matter hotly today.Wherever Rufeng went, she was heard enthusiastically calling her General Rufeng, even Xiao Jingong was no exception.
Rufeng said embarrassedly: "General, you also made fun of me."
"Why are you joking? This is a compliment. How is it? How does it feel to be a general?" Xiao Shu'an and Lin Xiu have been getting along for a long time, and they have become a lot closer unconsciously. If she was in the past, she would definitely not be like this.
Rufeng was still a little unaccustomed to Xiao Shuan's kindness, so he said restrainedly: "It's... alright. This time it's just my honor. I hope that next time I can make military achievements with all the female soldiers, just like the male soldiers."
Many of the male soldiers have been promoted this time.Qi Jin and Li Ziye were all promoted by one rank, and many soldiers who made contributions were also promoted to official positions.The barracks was full of joy and energy.In contrast, there is only Rufeng on the female soldier side.
Xiao Shu'an nodded in satisfaction: "I haven't forgotten my comrades-in-arms even though I've been promoted. Not bad, let's train hard. There is a chance for you to make contributions."
"No!" Rufeng replied loudly, and went to training happily.About Zhao Duan, Xiao Shu'an still didn't say anything. She wanted to wait until the Zhao country was in chaos before killing Zhao Duan. Anyway, he would be tortured even if he was alive now.

Soon, it was time for the harvest of spring wheat in Zhou State.According to preliminary statistics from the government, this year's grain output in Zhou State is likely to be three or four times that of previous years!People all over the country were happy about the harvest, and the government officials also began to calculate taxes and collect grain.
This year's taxation is different from previous years. According to the new law, taxation is calculated on a per capita basis instead of the family as the unit in the past.This kind of collection avoids the fact that some large families have a large population but hand in very little grain, while some families have a small population and have to hand in the same grain, which is relatively fair.
Moreover, this year's grain is not handed over to the lords in various places, but directly to the government. After the government collects, [-]% of the grain will be given to the lords, and the rest will go to the national treasury.This is the first time that Zhou has collected taxes in this way.Xiao Jingong attaches great importance to this year's grain collection work.Several right-hand men were sent to oversee the work.
The lords must be reluctant to be deprived of most of their benefits, but in the current situation, no one dares to come out to resist.Because this year's food requisition team directly led the army, this shows that Xiao Jingong has already made all preparations, and those who dare to resist will be killed directly.
"You said, can we collect food peacefully this year?" Xiao Shu'an asked Lin Xiu during the meal.
Lin Xiu said without hesitation: "There will definitely be small fights, but there will be no big disturbances. The military power is in the hands of His Majesty and General Chen. The military power of the female soldiers is with you. No matter how the lords raise troops , no one has yet reached the point where they can compete with the country.”
"What if all the lords join forces?" Xiao Shu'an asked.
"Who will take the lead?" Lin Xiudao: "As for the mob, no one can fight. They can't even find a backbone. Mutiny is not a joke. This thing can only succeed. If it fails, there is no way out. Those lords don't have the courage."
"Where's Uncle Liang?"
"What do you think?" Lin Xiu asked back.
Xiao Shu'an thought for a while and said: "I guess Uncle Wang won't act recklessly. If Uncle Wang wanted to mutiny, he would have done it when the emperor succeeded to the throne, and he wouldn't wait until now. The reason why the uncle didn't do it all the time was because he was thinking of Zhou. The rise and fall of the country, I guess Uncle Wang is still not convinced by the emperor, but if he really wants to do something, he will definitely wait until the Zhou country is stable and the country is prosperous. Instead of messing around at this time, grab a mess and get over it."
"That's right." Lin Xiu gently touched Xiao Shu'an's head and said, "The kid has become smarter and learned to think independently. A child can be taught!"
Xiao Shu'an patted Lin Xiu's hand away in dissatisfaction: "You said that I seem to be a fool, and I have been dealing with political affairs before you came, okay?"
Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an who was angry and said with a smile: "It's dealt with, it's just a mess with your brother."
"Lin Xiu!" Xiao Shu'an was really upset. Sometimes Lin Xiu's mouth is really poisonous, and she likes to say some unpleasant things.
But her attitude of admitting her mistake was quick, Lin Xiu immediately covered her mouth and said: "Wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that. It is not easy for my wife and Your Majesty to shoulder the burden of a precarious country. How could I talk like that, it's so heartless!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Shu'an snorted arrogantly, ignoring Lin Xiu.Lin Xiu approached Xiao Shu'an meanly: "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, it's my fault, I'll make you an apology tomorrow, okay?"
Lin Xiu herself also felt that she was a little sick, she didn't want Xiao Shuan to be unhappy, but every time Xiao Shuan was angry, she felt so cute and moved her heart, and couldn't help but provoke Xiao Shuan with her mean words.I felt distressed when I got angry, so I immediately went to coax him again.It's really tossing myself.
The two of them were flirting and flirting, Chen Yunjian came in such a hurry that the housekeeper didn't even have time to report.
"National teacher!" Chen Yunjian called Lin Xiu in an anxious voice from afar.
Lin Xiu was taken aback for a moment, wondering, "Why is General Chen here, what did you call?"
"No?" Xiao Shu'an didn't know what was going on.
Just as he was thinking, Chen Yunjian had already walked in front of the two of them, and saw him walking in a hurry, his brow was sweating, and before Lin Xiu could speak, he said in a hurry: "National Teacher, something happened, follow me out of the manor !"
"What's the matter?" Lin Xiu asked blankly, but Chen Yunjian couldn't wait any longer, and directly dragged Lin Xiu out, explaining while walking, Xiao Shu'an was completely ignored by him.Xiao Shu'an had no choice but to get up and quickly follow.
"The people of Wu County fought with the government, and several people died!"
"A fight? What's going on?"
Chen Yunjian said: "I don't know the specifics. I just received the news. It seems that the local people are unwilling to hand over the grain to the government. There was a physical conflict, and the two sides fought."
"How many people?" Lin Xiu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.
Chen Yunjian's face was heavy: "I don't know, but there should be quite a few people."
While speaking, several people had already left the mansion, got into the carriage prepared by Chen Yunjian, and rushed to Wu County.
After getting into the car, Xiao Shuan said: "Why would the people not want it? This year's harvest is better than in previous years, but the tax is lower than in previous years. It is completely beneficial to the people. How could anyone be unwilling?"
Lin Xiu said with a sullen face: "It's not that they disagree, they disagree on behalf of others."
Wu County is exactly Wu Zhun's fiefdom. It is not a big place, but it can be regarded as an old clan.I thought Wu Zhun and Xiao Ning were going to hold back some big moves all this time, so be on guard, but I didn't expect him to use other people's hands to make trouble!
Xiao Shu'an came to his senses after he calmed down. Wu County is the fiefdom of Wu Zhun, and the common people are unwilling to hand over the grain, so they just want to hand over the grain to the lord?No one would believe that this was not organized by Wu Zhun!
Lin Xiu didn't have time to hate Wu Zhun, so she murmured: "Clashed with the government, and killed people. Violating the laws of the court, despising the prestige of the government, capital punishment, in essence, these people are rebelling!"
Chen Yunjian said: "The common people don't even know what they are doing, but they are being used by those who want to. Give some benefits, incite emotions, and make trouble. The common people are like this. There are many people, and they are not afraid. !"
Lin Xiu sighed deeply, upset.He knows that this matter is far from that simple, the law represents the will of the country, and these people want to violate the will of the country and the foundation of the country, it is a capital crime...
The few people were silent all the way, and soon rushed to Wu County.As soon as he entered Wu County, he heard shouts one after another.The carriage of Lin Xiu and the others couldn't move for a while.The roadside was full of people, shouting: "Let people go! The government kills people! Why should they kill people!"
Unconvinced officers and soldiers shouted back: "If you don't make trouble, who will beat you? Didn't you kill anyone from the government?"
"My old man was arrested by the government without doing anything. The country is not giving us a way to survive!"
"Yeah, don't give us a way out, we will fight with them! Never compromise!"
The men were all holding shovels and hoes in their hands, and the officers and soldiers were almost unable to stop them, and some people in the crowd stirred up emotions from time to time.I don't know who shouted: "The national teacher is here! Let the national teacher come out and speak!"
"That's right! He wants to change the law! Our Wu clan has been an old clan for many years. Why should he change it as he says? The fief belongs to Wu Fengchang. Why should we hand over the food to the government? We don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
The crowd shouted together, and the voice almost drowned out Lin Xiu and the others.Xiao Shu'an's face was livid, and he wanted to get up and go out to reprimand him, but Lin Xiu held him back.
Lin Xiu got up and got out of the carriage. The officers and soldiers present saw that it was the national teacher who was coming, and hurriedly sent more people to stop the people who were on the way.
Lin Xiu stood on the carriage and said loudly: "Families have their own laws, and the state has their own laws. The government acts according to the law. We will not wrong a good person, nor let a bad person go. Even if you gather here, you will not be able to save your relatives. "
When Lin Xiu was speaking, she kept everyone quiet for a few seconds, but as soon as she finished speaking, someone shouted again: "Don't listen to him, she is on the same side as the government! We can't save anyone if we leave now! "
When the people who were still a little hesitant heard it, they made a fuss again.Lin Xiu said again: "Are you trying to save people, or disrupt order!"
"The state owns the state law, so the national teacher will explain why my old man was arrested!"
"Why are you arrested? Don't you know? The country has implemented the reform for a year! As early as the early stage of the reform, explainers were sent to explain the law to everyone! Why didn't you see someone come out to make trouble when the country allowed you to open up wasteland? Now you have to collect taxes When you come out to make trouble! Are you still Zhou people? If you don’t hand over the food to the country, will you go when the war is going on? When Zhao Guo comes to fight, will you stop it?”
Lin Xiu pointed to the woman who kept yelling and asked, "Why did you get arrested, old man? Don't you know? You are so majestic when you beat your own people! Where were you during the battle of Dongcheng? Where were you in the battle of Lingzhou along the water?" Where? Soldiers are dying on the front line, and you beat your own people in the back. Do you have a conscience? If you are wronged, the government will release you after investigation, but if he himself violated the Zhou law, then you will be punished. Zhou law on crime!"
"All of you are causing trouble here! Interfering with the government's affairs! If you don't know Zhou Fa, I advise you to go back and study it now, and don't be arrested and say you don't understand the law! You are clear about your majesty's determination to implement the new law. How can you make trouble like this?" What effect?"
Lin Xiu's words silenced the crowd, and many people's wishes began to waver.Originally, they were not so resistant to the new law, after all, the new law is beneficial to the people.But Wu Fengchang called the heads of the various families over to give some money, saying that everyone would make trouble and not hand in the food.Hundreds of them made trouble together, and the government has nothing to do with them, the law does not blame the public, and he will not confiscate everyone's grain at that time, and everyone's harvest this year can be taken by themselves.
The big guy obsessively agreed.When the government came, there was a commotion.But everyone was just making a fuss and didn't think about fighting. The crowd didn't know who took the lead in the fight and was holding a sharp weapon. The government officials had no choice but to fight back to protect themselves.Those who came and went once and for all started fighting, and those who didn't want to do anything had to do so. In the end, they were wounded and even killed.
Later, Ganzhou sent more soldiers to arrest all the troublemakers.Most of the labor force from each household participated, and in order to save people, they had no choice but to make trouble here.In fact, everyone regretted it more or less in their hearts. Originally, this year was a bumper harvest year, and everyone should hand it over to the country.They shouldn't be, they shouldn't be obsessed with ghosts.
An old man in the crowd thought about it: "The national teacher's words count. If the person is innocent, will the government find out and release him?"
Seeing that this person looked like the prestigious patriarch of the Wu family, Lin Xiu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old man, the government will never wrong anyone. If he is innocent, he will be released without charge. If he is guilty, the government will definitely follow Zhou's law." disposal."
The old man said sadly: "Since this is the case, the old man will trust the national teacher. I will go back and wait for news. Go back!"
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked back slowly.When the big guys saw him leaving, they all fell silent, and slowly started to walk back.A few people saw that everyone was leaving, and said unwillingly: "Don't go, the big guy will not let you go if he leaves the government at this time, don't believe what the government says!"
The old man knocked hard on the ground with his crutches and said, "Go back! Don't you think it's not messy enough and shameful enough? Whoever makes trouble here again, don't come to the clan for protection if anything happens! If you make trouble again, it won't be the Wu family." people!"
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the old man can see through.As an elder of the Wu Clan, he may not be willing to change his ways, but he can see through the current situation, and he knows that the clansmen are being used by others, and if it continues to make trouble, it will only make things worse.
The crowd dispersed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Lin Xiu and others came to the local government and began to understand what happened.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Shu'an asked Lin Xiu softly after everyone had left.
Lin Xiu frowned impatiently and said, "I can do whatever I can, how Zhou Fa writes, I can do whatever."
Xiao Shu'an was shocked and said: "If it is according to Zhou's law, these people are capital crimes?"
Lin Xiu silently wrote a memorial to tell Xiao Jingong the situation here.
Xiao Shu'an continued: "There are more than 200 people locked up now. Even if some people are innocent, at least half of them will be beheaded. Beheading so many people will arouse public anger. How will the people think of Zhou Fa? They will say that Zhou’s law is harsh! Besides, those people are just being used by others, and they don’t really want to rebel, so there’s no need to be so strict.”
Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an helplessly and said, "What do you think the law is? The laws of the country don't measure their minds. I don't care if they have the intention of treason or not. I only look at what they have done! If they care about their minds, what kind of rule of law is needed?" , the rule of man will be fine."
"Couldn't it be possible to make an exception?" Xiao Shu'an still felt that Lin Xiu was too cruel.
Lin Xiudao: "If Zhou Fa can't stand today, he will never be able to stand up again in the future! They dare to make trouble, isn't it just to give Zhou Fa a blow? The reason why Zhou was in chaos before was because there was no discipline from top to bottom. Nobles are not punished for breaking the law, common people are not punished, this is the reason why the previous Zhou government did not have prestige!
Wu Zhun dared to make trouble because in his eyes, Zhou Guo was still the old government, and it was still a power field where he could do whatever he wanted!And these common people didn't take Zhou Fa seriously! "
Xiao Shu'an was a little angry, and said a little angrily: "What if all the troublemakers today are princes and nobles? Do you dare to deal with them all according to the law?"
Lin Xiu paused and said: "As long as the right to dispose of it is in my hands, even if the person making trouble today is a relative of the emperor, he must be dealt with according to the law."
Xiao Shuan said: "What about me? Is it me who caused the trouble?"
Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an fixedly, and did not speak for a long time.After a long time, she turned her head and continued to write the memorial without saying a word, but from the tightly gripped pen holder and sharp calligraphy, it could be seen that she was angry in her heart.

Seeing that this person looked like the prestigious patriarch of the Wu family, Lin Xiu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old man, the government will never wrong anyone. If he is innocent, he will be released without charge. If he is guilty, the government will definitely follow Zhou's law." disposal."
The old man said sadly: "Since this is the case, the old man will trust the national teacher. I will go back and wait for news. Go back!"
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked back slowly.When the big guys saw him leaving, they all fell silent, and slowly started to walk back.A few people saw that everyone was leaving, and said unwillingly: "Don't go, the big guy will not let you go if he leaves the government at this time, don't believe what the government says!"
The old man knocked hard on the ground with his crutches and said, "Go back! Don't you think it's not messy enough and shameful enough? Whoever makes trouble here again, don't come to the clan for protection if anything happens! If you make trouble again, it won't be the Wu family." people!"
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the old man can see through.As an elder of the Wu Clan, he may not be willing to change his ways, but he can see through the current situation, and he knows that the clansmen are being used by others, and if it continues to make trouble, it will only make things worse.
The crowd dispersed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Lin Xiu and others came to the local government and began to understand what happened.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Shu'an asked Lin Xiu softly after everyone had left.
Lin Xiu frowned impatiently and said, "I can do whatever I can, how Zhou Fa writes, I can do whatever."
Xiao Shu'an was shocked and said: "If it is according to Zhou's law, these people are capital crimes?"
Lin Xiu silently wrote a memorial to tell Xiao Jingong the situation here.
Xiao Shu'an continued: "There are more than 200 people locked up now. Even if some people are innocent, at least half of them will be beheaded. Beheading so many people will arouse public anger. How will the people think of Zhou Fa? They will say that Zhou’s law is harsh! Besides, those people are just being used by others, and they don’t really want to rebel, so there’s no need to be so strict.”
Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an helplessly and said, "What do you think the law is? The laws of the country don't measure their minds. I don't care if they have the intention of treason or not. I only look at what they have done! If they care about their minds, what kind of rule of law is needed?" , the rule of man will be fine."
"Couldn't it be possible to make an exception?" Xiao Shu'an still felt that Lin Xiu was too cruel.
Lin Xiudao: "If Zhou Fa can't stand today, he will never be able to stand up again in the future! They dare to make trouble, isn't it just to give Zhou Fa a blow? The reason why Zhou was in chaos before was because there was no discipline from top to bottom. Nobles are not punished for breaking the law, common people are not punished, this is the reason why the previous Zhou government did not have prestige!
Wu Zhun dared to make trouble because in his eyes, Zhou Guo was still the old government, and it was still a power field where he could do whatever he wanted!And these common people didn't take Zhou Fa seriously! "
Xiao Shu'an was a little angry, and said a little angrily: "What if all the troublemakers today are princes and nobles? Do you dare to deal with them all according to the law?"
Lin Xiu paused and said: "As long as the right to dispose of it is in my hands, even if the person making trouble today is a relative of the emperor, he must be dealt with according to the law."
Xiao Shuan said: "What about me? Is it me who caused the trouble?"
Lin Xiu looked at Xiao Shu'an fixedly, and did not speak for a long time.After a long time, she turned her head and continued to write the memorial without saying a word, but from the tightly gripped pen holder and sharp calligraphy, it could be seen that she was angry in her heart.
