Chapter 163 Huo Bao's Discovery(1/2)
"You, you, come out!"
Huo Bao pointed two front-lines with a panic look.
The two of them came out with trembling fear and took small steps.
Even if these two people look normal, they don't look right.
Her face is tender and her body is insufficient.
One person's face was black and red, and his face was covered with spots; the other person was ragged and barefoot.
It looks like a child with a miserable life.
"Who did you take?"
Huo Bao asked who was dark-faced.
"My father..."
The man was scared and trembled. After Huo Bao asked again, he whispered.
Huo Bao looked at the barefoot man again: "Who are you going to do it?"
"My cousin..."
The latter didn't know if it was a broken can and said happily.
Huo Bao asked someone to take Ding Book and investigate again, and the young Ding pretended to be more than 90 people.
These teenagers were not old and were frightened and others started to cry.
For a moment, there were a lot of sobs on the school grounds.
Huo Bao frowned.
No matter what the reason for substitution, these teenagers are abandoned by their families.
Once there is a second chance.
Originally, he did not intend to expand the child soldiers, but at this moment he felt a little reluctant, so he ordered Huo Bao: "Take it with me first, you can't ignore it."
As for the Dan Ding who had been listed before, Lao Ding and other 500 people, Huo Bao did not ask anyone to release him immediately, but was temporarily incorporated into the first battalion.
Even if he wants to release him, he will be the queen of Luyang.
Deng Jian took the initiative to give the remaining 2,500 new students and directly gave the water to 1,000, leaving 1,500, and everyone was very happy.
The new head of Shen County was confused and knew the changes in the big camp, but he didn't know that Shen County had changed its owner.
...
The magistrate of Shen County was "invited" to the camp and wanted to cry without tears.
Is Shenxian lost this without even hearing any movement?
He was in his forties and was elegant, not like an official, but like a scholar.
Thinking about the movements these days, the magistrate of Shen County insisted on calming down: "I don't know which general of Zunjia is under the name of the navy?"
Deng Jian was unfair and did not impersonate: "I am Deng Jian from Chuzhou!"
When the magistrate of Shen County heard this, he felt that his eyes were dark.
Deng Jian’s name is not known to the world, but the Chuzhou Army is famous for the prefectures of Huainan Road.
White Dogzi, white-clothed thief, white-clothed army, are all about Chuzhou Army.
Chuzhou has already been a sect of bandits to establish themselves, not under the rule of the court.
The Chaohu Navy came ashore, which was completely different from the white shirts in Chuzhou that entered Luzhou.
This is really the crime of "losing the land", and the crime cannot be punished.
Chuzhou Baishan is also famous for "killing officials".
The magistrate of Shen County looked gray and looked around in a panic. He had no other way, but felt that he had no strength to speak.
Huo Bao said: "How could the magistrate of Luzhou want to poison the old commander? He conquered Ding besieged Chaohu water army?"
The magistrate was shocked when he heard this: "The prefect poisoned the old commander? Where did this come from? Isn't Deputy Chief Yu plotting to rebel and poisoned the old commander? The prefect had no other way, so he had to siege the navy and let them hand over the murderer."
This old governor is a famous general of the world, with brothers all over the court and the country. There is a sworn brother who is no one else, but the father of the queen and the father-in-law of the country.
Now that he has been killed tragically, the prefect is afraid of being implicated, so he has tried his best to kill the murderer.
Huo Baodao: "This is what the prefect of Luzhou prefect has given the confession to the outside world? The old governor has submitted a memorial to retire and recommends Deputy governor Yu to take over. What is the need for Deputy governor Yu to do this? The old governor died after attending the banquet at the prefect's office. The prefect said this, which is suspected of "the thief shouting to catch the thief"..."
The magistrate of Shen County felt suspicious after hearing this.
The prefect's "attack" this time is too hard.
In addition to the majority of the garrisons in the prefecture, troops were transferred from other five counties.
More than 10,000 people were particularly short of enough, and they even offered great support to recruit people.
If not, Shen County would not have insufficient defense and was easily occupied by the Chuzhou army.
The magistrate will hate the prefect.
"I used infantry to intercept the navy, but did not recruit ships. It looked like a bluff, using the reputation to recruit soldiers." The magistrate of Shen County said bluntly: "I'm afraid the magistrate has a second thought and has other plans!"
Huo Bao said: "How many defenders are there in Luyang?"
The magistrate looked entangled and finally replied: "The magistrate brought five thousand Luzhou soldiers in Beiguan Daying, and about more than a thousand Luyang guards... But Luyang is also recruiting troops, and he doesn't know the geometry of new people in the city..."
This is exactly what Huo Bao expected.
Deng Jian glared at the magistrate and said, "In the next three days, the martial law will be strictly regulated in the county... If you seek to live, you should be safe and secure; if you ask for death, you can recommend others!"
The magistrate of Shen County was choked when he heard this.
It’s better to live without dying.
If he could live, who would want to die?
"Abide by the general's order!"
The magistrate was very conscious of his eyes.
...
Luyang, the capital of Luzhou Prefecture, is a big city.
The city walls are tall.
Even if you know that the defenders are short of them, the variables of "scam fraud" are too great.
Then Shui Jin brought a thousand elite soldiers, disguised themselves as common people, and scattered them, and sneaked into Luyang one after another in the afternoon of the same day.
As for Huo Bao, it was Deng Jian who detained it.
"If you want to fight desperately in every county and every place, then what's the use of your father's subordinates? If you follow me, be honest and do things about Shen County, then go back to Chuzhou directly!"
Deng Jian's attitude is very firm.
Huo Bao also knew that his previous things were willful, so he corrected his mistakes: "Don't worry, cousin, my nephew will listen to the arrangements of his elders in the future."
There is no eyebrow on the battlefield, and any accident can happen.
Huo Bao is Huo Wu's only son. If he makes mistakes, the Chuzhou army will have no successor and may not be able to fall apart.
Huo Bao did what he said, handing over the child soldiers to Huo Bao, and following the magistrate of Shen County to check the land pamphlet and the land tax pamphlet.
Shen County has fertile land, but most of the fertile land is concentrated in the hands of gentry and tribes.
Many of these people's lands are exempt from land tax.
Therefore, Shen County’s tax revenue is not rich.
"The land clearance is exempted for three years, and the fields on rivers and lakes are silted in the same way. Why are these fields still free of taxes after three years?"
Huo Bao took the booklet and pointed out his confusion to ask the magistrate of Shen County.
"These fields are next to Chaohu and are classified into counties, but they are actually classified as Chaohu Navy, which is the military farm of the navy's family." The magistrate of Shen County.
After hearing this, Huo Bao pointed to another place: "It is said that Luzhou has three mountains, three rivers and three parts of fields. I Guanshen County, there are no mountains in the territory, but why are there so many mountains and forests in this book?"
Mountains and forests are not tax-free, but they are very few, which is different from land taxes.
The magistrate of Shen County blushed: "I have been to Shen County for three years... These mountains and forests were registered before..."
Huo Bao knew it in his mind that it was the official who had colluded with local gentry to register fertile land into mountain and forest land in order to exempt or reduce taxes.
Even if the Baishan Army operates the military farm in Luzhou, it is not easy to justify the fertile land of the gentry and the people. The silted fields and the acres of land registered in the forest booklets are not considered to be the place to be used.
The magistrate of Shen County was also curious and occasionally glanced at Huo Bao.
The Chuzhou army entered the city quietly.
This day, except for martial law in the city and the city gates were closed, there was no other action.
It did not disturb the gentry and people in the city.
What is the Chuzhou Army’s intention?
To be continued...
