Reject cannon fodder with the system [Rebirth]

Du Yanshan left Yuanjing with a small amount of luggage. There were only a few clothes and money in the carriage, most of which were books he usually collected.

The Ministry of Households asked Du Yanshan to immediately reduce the number of grooms in order to save the cost of the racecourse.

Most of the grooms were born in poor families. Du Yanshan also knew about the embezzlement of a lot of monthly money from the horse farm by the household department.For this, he felt very guilty. These grooms were all recruited by him, and now he couldn't protect himself and was unable to protect them anymore.

His salary is not much, but fortunately he still has some savings, so he decided to take part of the severance pay for the grooms sitting around from his savings.

On the way to the racecourse, the carriage passed by nearby villages and towns, and he ordered the servants to get off the carriage and buy some fresh fish, bacon and vegetables, put them in the carriage and transport them to the racecourse together.

This meal is everyone's breakup meal.

When Du Yanshan returned to Yuanjing, the battle for the throne had ended.

The throne was eventually obtained by King Li. The first thing the new emperor did after he ascended the throne was to stop all plans to expand the army.For a while, memorials to impeach Du Yanshan were flying all over the sky.

And Shuo Kingdom returned to the previous model, spending money and materials on paying tribute to Dayan Kingdom.

Yan Guo was very dissatisfied with Shuo Guo's small actions in the past few days, increasing the tribute that needs to be paid every year, which is also a warning to the new emperor.

In order to show goodwill to Yan Guo, the new emperor immediately attacked Du Yanshan, who advocated reform, and dismissed him from the position of national teacher. He originally planned to put him in prison.

Unexpectedly, Du Yanshan still had a second move, and the court took out the gold medal of exoneration bestowed by the former emperor.This gold medal was cast by the founding king when Shuo Kingdom was founded. Back then, he listened to the slander and bestowed the death on his most trusted subordinate, and regretted it very much afterwards.Afterwards, he personally designed the graphics, and cast a total of three exempt gold medals.

Forced by the deterrent power of the gold medal of exoneration, the new emperor did not convict Du Yanshan in the end. Rather than allowing him to travel around the mountains and rivers after his dismissal, it is better to continue to let him be a petty official.

After thinking about it, the first emperor responded to Du Yanshan's request and sent him to manage the racecourse.

The racecourse is located in a remote and barren land, and Du Yanshan can be trapped for a lifetime, making him suffer humiliation, and in exchange for the reputation of a new emperor who is benevolent.

The dignified national teacher became a little stable boy overnight, and the news spread in Yuan capital immediately, and became a topic of discussion among the common people in the streets and alleys.

On the day Du Yanshan left the city, it snowed heavily, but many people still came to see him off.His reforms have benefited many poor people at the bottom. The common people remember these kindnesses, but the support of the common people cannot change the emperor's will.

"My lord, can these books be placed here?" Du Yanshan's servant asked.

"Well, let's put it aside." Du Yanshan had just read the secret report from the hidden guards, and he has not yet found Lei Bo's whereabouts.He threw the note into the candlelight, looked at the beating flame, and fell into deep thought.

Lei Bo is extremely skilled in martial arts, yet he has been missing for such a long time without anyone noticing, with neither life nor death, and everything seems clueless. Could it be that there are other forces involved?

In Shuo Kingdom in winter, it gets dark very quickly, and the lamps are needed before dinner time.

Fortunately, the boy's hands and feet were quite fast, and he packed all the luggage.Dong Guoji wanted to give Du Yanshan the good house he lived in, but he declined.Du Yanshan has never paid much attention to food and lodging, and takes it easy.

This young man has followed Du Yanshan for many years, he is smart and smart, and he is more in line with Du Yanshan's wishes, so he will be kept by his side.

After he packed his luggage, he ran to the kitchen to wait and see. When he saw that the food was almost ready, he ran back to the house to inform Du Yanshan, and took Du Yanshan to the big house with an oil lamp.

In the past, the grooms would go back to their own rooms for meals, but Du Yanshan temporarily asked everyone to eat together. There was no table big enough in the horse farm, so they had to move a few tables and piece them together into one.

Before Du Yanshan came, no one dared to sit down, as if he was still that high-ranking national teacher.

"Everyone sit down," Du Yanshan entered the room and sat on the seat arranged for him by Dong Guoji.

After Du Yanshan spoke, the rest of the people sat down.

There are not many fresh vegetables in winter. Most of what the boy buys is cabbage, potatoes, and radishes stored in the cellars of the villagers. There are more meat dishes, such as bacon, sauced duck, and marinated chicken.

This meal was considered quite hearty in the racecourse, especially the fresh and tender crucian carp tofu soup, which made the grooms who hadn't smelled meat for a long time move their index fingers.

Du Yanshan is very self-cultivated, even if he has something to say, he doesn't want to speak it during the meal.He chewed and swallowed slowly, without making a sound, which made a group of rough people sitting beside him very polite.

There was only the rustling of eating at the dining table, and the occasional sound of chopsticks hitting bowls and bowls.

The quiet meal was quickly eaten up.

Du Yanshan's appetite was poor, so he just ate some casually, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and sat quietly.

When everyone had almost put down their chopsticks, he cleared his voice: "Everyone should know about the late emperor's death..."

The audience was in an uproar, they didn't know about it at all, the remote place of the racecourse was basically isolated from the outside world, only the aunt who needed to go to the village to buy vegetables would occasionally come into contact with outsiders.

Du Yanshan glanced at Dong Guoji lightly. For such a big event as the late emperor's death, messengers would send letters to departments all over the country. After Dong Guoji received the letter, he didn't inform other people. Disrespect, is to be convicted and sent to prison.

Dong Guoji lowered his head in embarrassment. He was full of worries because of Du Yanshan's dismissal, and forgot to inform the other grooms for a while. He didn't expect Du Yanshan to visit suddenly.

"...And I was dismissed from the position of the national teacher. I built this racecourse at the beginning, but now the Ministry of Finance requires me to cut down half of the manpower. I can't protect you. I am sorry for everyone." Du Yan Shan lowered his eyes and looked dignified.

The grooms heard the words and peeped at each other. Since the war horses were shipped out, new horses have not been delivered for a long time, and the racecourse has been worsening day by day.but cut out

Hearing such news today, some grooms were not really surprised. According to this kind of development, the horse farm will end sooner or later.But losing the job means losing income, and no one wants the farm to close.

"Everyone can choose to stay at the racecourse or return to their hometown tomorrow. Those who leave can receive five taels of silver from me as a subsidy, so they don't have to worry about their future life." Du Yanshan continued.

In Shuo Kingdom, where the income is generally low, five taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family to live for a whole year.

There is not much future in staying at the racecourse. With a meager salary every month, it is better to go back to the hometown with money and find another way out.

Everyone at the table quickly made a decision.

After the banquet was over, Shanwu ran back to the hut early, and he secretly brought some food to Shancai.After unlocking and entering the room, he saw Guan Yao throwing all his bedding and pillows on the ground.

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, Shancai?"

Shanwu found that since Guan Yao "recovered consciousness", she was not as lovable as before, and she lost her temper at every turn, and refused to ask him anything.

Guan Yao was molesting alone in the room just now, and after recovering to the third level of martial arts, he has been unable to break through the fourth acupuncture point, which seems to be due to toxin damage.

He couldn't help being a little annoyed, not knowing that it would take a year and a month to recover his previous skills.Now he lives under the fence, although he is living a comfortable life with clothes to eat and mouth to eat, but the food is poor and the clothes are shabby, which is a thousand miles worse than when he was the Zuo protector.

And this annoying bald man calls himself "good money, good money" all day long, how dare he put such a stupid name on his head.

Guan Yao held back his breath and lay on the bed with his back turned.

Shan Wu was confused by his actions, he walked to the bedside with the food in his hand, and said nicely, "Shancai, eat quickly, or the food will be cold."

The tall figure blocked the light of the oil lamp, covering Guan Yao on the bed in shadow.Guan Yao simply closed his eyes and ignored the big man.

"Are you locked in the house all day, are you sulking?" Shan Wu coaxed, "Don't be angry, Mr. Dong Guo, who is difficult to deal with, is leaving tomorrow. Mr. Du seems to be very easy to get along with. I'll try my best to persuade him to take you in at the racecourse, so you can go out and get some fresh air."

Guan Yao opened his eyes, with an unpredictable look in his eyes. Most of the time, he didn't talk to Shan Wu, but Shan Wu kept talking, as if treating him like an ordinary person instead of a fool. look at.

During the days of the Blood Refining Sect, the old leader doted on him because he liked his aptitude, and the new leader later protected him because he liked his appearance.

So what about this bald head?Why should he be so nice to himself?Or did he also fancy something about himself?

At least for now, he is not used to the kindness Shanwu treats him, nor can he bear this kindness.

After a while, Jiang Ting, Mu Nan and Li Yi also returned to the house one after another.

"Shanwu, are you leaving the racecourse?" Jiang Ting asked while spreading the quilt.

Shan Wu shook her head: "I don't want to leave, but..."

"But what?"

"Tomorrow, I will ask Lord Du if he can take Shancai in. If the Lord agrees, I will stay with Shancai. If not, I will take Shancai with me."

"You're really persistent." It's just an outsider who can be treated like this by Shan Wu.Jiang Ting looked at the figure on the bed with some envy, the world is so big, how difficult it is for one person to deal with it sincerely.

"Brother Jiang, will you leave?" Mu Nan sat on his bed and asked timidly.

"I won't go," Jiang Ting replied without thinking.

"Oh," then I won't go either!Mu Nan thought secretly.

"Uncle Li, what about you?" Shanwu raised her head and asked Li Yi.

"... Let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow." Li Yi lay on the bed early.

What about tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow?

Jiang Ting was a little excited when he thought that he could live with Du Yanshan for a period of time in the future.But Du Yanshan came here after being demoted, so he must be feeling uncomfortable.

Such a person will be mixed with a group of low-level rough people like them in the future, he really stands out from the crowd.

Why isn't he a "chicken" in the flock?Unexpectedly, Du Yanshan had an unspeakable feeling.

Thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.
