Chapter 605: Rely on(1/2)
『PS: Zhao Bing's incident is just an introduction, let me tell you slowly."
————The following text——
"I have so much land in my house?"
When leaving the Xinxiang Marquis Mansion, Zhao Yu handed the contract signed by Zhao Bing to Ding Wu casually.
As long as this contract is present, all the fields and forests of Zhao clan in Luyang belong to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Bing can no longer threaten Luyang County Government with these.
"It's almost the same." Ding Wu solemnly accepted the contract and said casually: "When Duke Yin was in charge of the county government, the township marquis' mansion had almost 20,000 acres, all of which were transferred to the township marquis' mansion during the years. The accumulation of small amounts and gradually the number of people became more and more."
"I see."
Zhao Yu nodded suddenly, because logically speaking, local nobles only have the privilege of "food households" and there should not be much land. It is probably just as Ding Wu said, it is the land slowly collected by Zhao Yu's ancestors. After all, the privilege of "food thousand households" is like a chicken that can lay golden eggs. No matter how poor Luyang County is, it will not be poor in the village marquis' mansion.
"By the way, the captain won't regret it, right?"
Ding Wu was in a good mood and was a rare joke.
Of course, although it is a joke, there is no lack of temptation. After all, as far as he knows, the Marquis of Luyang Township has more than 20,000 mu of land in the local area, and they are all fertile land. Although the total arable land area in Luyang County is more than 100,000 mu, a considerable part of it is not fertile land. In other words, the more than 20,000 mu of land in the Zhao family in Luyang is of great significance to the county government.
"Oh."
Zhao Yu smiled, but didn't explain anything.
Could it be that he would explain to Ding Wu that as long as he nodded, Chen Lang, the governor of Yingchuan County, would privately allocate him 50,000 acres of official land?
Hearing Zhao Yu's chuckling, Ding Wu seemed to understand something and completely relieved.
He said to Zhao Yu seriously: "I will thank the Duke Liu and the people of Luyang for their gratitude to the Duke, but I don't know if this matter will cause trouble to the Duke?"
"trouble?"
Zhao Yu looked up at the road ahead.
He, a Yingchuan commander, ran to Nanyang County and took away 20,000 acres of land from a village marquis in Nanyang County. How could this be without trouble?
There is no doubt that people like Wang Shangde, Wang Yan and others will definitely come to him.
But compared to the past, Zhao Yu could have a stance that was not afraid of Wang Shangde.
As for whether this matter would arouse the anger of the old man after being found out by Master Chen, we can only say that it should not be too pedantic to think about this. Considering that Zhao Yu did not make any profit in this matter, he handed over all the fields stolen from Zhao Bing to the Luyang County Government. Master Chen would not punish him at all. At most, he would just ask the truth.
When he was in charge, Zhao Yu told Taishi Chen the fact that Zhao Bing "corrupted the reputation of the Zhao clan in Luyang", "oppressed the good people", and "threatening the government". According to his understanding of Taishi Chen, the old man would only turn a blind eye - although this old man was devoted to the country and seemed very stupid and loyal, in fact, the old man was very clear about good and evil in his heart, but his position made him unable to make inner choices in many things.
Compared to being blamed by Master Chen for this matter, Zhao Yu cared more about whether the old man would find his connection with the Zhao clan of Luyang from all kinds of clues, so as to see through his true identity.
Although even if Master Chen saw through his true identity, he would probably not harm him, Zhao Yu believed that the old man Jieshi would not give him any more opportunities to tamper with him. He would definitely transfer him to his command as a general, and take him with him, Zhao Yu to fight south and north, completely cutting off some of his thoughts.
Therefore, Zhao Yu had to communicate with Liu Yi, Xu Xuan, Ding Wu and others in advance and unify his ideas, that is, Zhao Yu was invited by Liu Yi to deal with Zhao Bing.
In this way, Grand Master Chen should not doubt anything anymore.
"I understand." Ding Wu nodded and said, "Please allow me to go back to the county government first and transfer this contract to Mr. Liu by the way."
Given that he was not accompanied by county soldiers as a guide this time, he had to do it himself to send the contract to Liu Ying.
Of course, considering the importance of this contract, Ding Wu was not at ease to hand it over to ordinary county soldiers - this was the reason why he did not mention the black tigers around Zhao Yu sent them to Liu Ying on his behalf.
Zhao Yu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll meet in Zhengxiang tomorrow. I happened to go to Zhengxiang to see your family. I heard that there is another person in your family."
"Ah, Ma gave birth to her another fat boy."
Ding Wu smiled, then said goodbye to Zhao Yu, and turned back to the county government.
Zhao Yu, along with Niu Heng and Jingnv, went to Zhengxiang.
An hour later, Zhao Yu and his group arrived in Zhengxiang.
Shortly after Zhao Yu sent the Black Tigers to report in advance, Ding Lu took Feng Bu and Zuxing two good brothers out of the village to welcome Zhao Yu.
Under Ding Wu's leadership, Zhao Yu casually visited Zhengxiang.
Just like when he fled to Luyang a few years ago, Zheng Township was still a village in Qudong and a village in Quxi. Quxi Village is Zheng Village. Zheng Luo was born in this village; Qudong was a refugee village, and in recent years he mainly relied on building Jinggongqu for the county government.
However, due to the obstruction of Ruyang County, Jinggong Canal has temporarily been suspended, and Ding Lu, the people who make a living by building rivers and canals, have lost their livelihoods. According to Ding Lu, the people in Qudong Village now make a living by hunting.
In view of this, Zhao Yu comforted Ding Lu and said: "I will solve this matter... I went to Ruyang this time to solve this matter."
Ding Lu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Are you sure?"
Zhao Yu smiled.
grasp?
With his current status and identity, he can almost be said to be a crusher when he arrives in Ruyang. So what if the county magistrate Wang Dan is a member of the tribe of Grand Master Wang?
Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, the golden signboard of Grandmaster Chen did bring him too many conveniences.
"Don't worry."
"Then I'll wait for good news from the young master."
After chatting for a few moments, Ding Lu took Zhao Yu and his group to his house, and called out his wife Ma and met Zhao Yu.
After a few years, Ma was very excited. After chatting with Zhao Yu for a few words, he ran to the kitchen, probably to cook a sumptuous meal to entertain Zhao Yu and his party.
By the way, compared with previous years, Ma has shown a little bit of old age. Her black hair has already appeared a few traces of gray. It is probably too difficult to raise four children, but her face is filled with a happy smile, especially when she faces the four children in her family.
This made Zhao Yu feel inexplicably moved, even though he couldn't say it specifically.
During dinner in the evening, Zhao Yu and Ding Lu and others talked about Zhao Bing's affairs casually, and also talked about his forcing Zhao Bing to sign a contract to transfer the land, which made Ding Lu feel very happy.
He said to Zhao Yu: "There is nothing nearby who doesn't hate him... Except for the beginning, the nearby villagers only called him "Young Master Zhao" and did not admit that he was the village marquis. It is estimated that this incident made Zhao Bing resent."
"I see."
Zhao Yu was slightly surprised.
He thought about the people of Hou Lin who was in the camp today. He didn't care at that time. Now he remembered that Hou Lin and the others had never called Zhao Bing "Queen Hou" from beginning to end. No wonder Zhao Bing wanted to drive people away. It seems that the conflict between the two sides had already intensified.
After dinner, while Jingnu took Bier to help Ma and her children wash dishes, Ding Lu talked with Zhao Yu about the issue of "Luyang Zhao Family's famous title", as if he wanted to ask Zhao Yu whether he could regain the famous title of Zhao Family in Luyang.
In Ding Lu's words, although Zhao Yu temporarily obtained more than 20,000 acres of land from Zhao Bing, only if Zhao Yu completely regained the title of "Luyang Township Marquis", they and even the people of the county government and the entire Luyang County can be completely relieved. After all, Zhao Bing still has the privilege of "fooding thousands of households". Who knows whether this guy will take revenge?
Zhao Yu also felt a headache about this matter. After all, it was not easy to get back the more than 20,000 acres of land and get back their MG and privileges.
Whether or not he will come back from the land is one thing, and whether it will lead to the exposure of his true identity is another matter.
Zhao Yu also wanted to borrow the development of Jin State for a period of time, but he didn't expect to break up so early.
He thought for a while and said to Ding Lu: "Wait until I come back from Ruyang first... If Zhao Bing was restless in Jieshi, I would deal with him again."
Seeing this, Ding Lu couldn't say anything else, so he nodded.
That night, Ding Lu made several rooms in the village for Zhao Yu and his group to live in.
The next day, around Mao, Ding Wu, the Luyang County Wei, came to Zheng Township.
After staying at Ding Lu's house for breakfast, Zhao Yu and his group bid farewell to Ding Lu, Ma and his wife, and continued to Ruyang along Jinggong Canal.
Two days later, Zhao Yu and his group arrived in Ruyang County.
After entering the city, Zhao Yu ordered Gong Jiao to take Jingnu and Bier to the inn in the city and settle down, while he took Niu Heng and He Shun all the way to the county government.
A moment later, a stinger came to the county magistrate Wang Dan’s house panting and said anxiously: “Prince, Prince, Prince, there is a branchman who informed him that Yingchuan Commander Zhou Hu was outside the county government office and asked to meet with Prince.”
“…”
Wang Dan opened his eyes wide in shock.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Zhao Yu and Tai Shi Chen has not spread, at least Wang Dan doesn’t know about this, but even so, Yingchuan Commander is also a big official and deserves Wang Dan’s careful treatment.
Not to mention Wang Dan, he also learned that the "Yingchuan Commander Zhou Hu" was a hero who defeated the rebels twice in Kunyang and Xuchang, and was a real "tiger general" in Yingchuan County.
"What did Zhou Hu come to my Ruyang County this time to do?"
Wang Dan felt a little incredible. After all, Ruyang County belongs to Henan County. What did Zhou Hu go to his Henan County for nothing?
The only thing he could think of was the rebellion in the Yique area.
As far as he knew, the rebellion in Yique area was quite fierce. Because his Henan commander Li Meng had not led his army back to Henan County, no one suppressed the rebellion in Yique area, so the group of "Yique thieves" were quite fierce.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and prepared to go out to greet the Yingchuan commander in person.
At the same time, Zhao Yu was standing at the entrance of the county government office, looking at the horizontal plaque above the county government office with nostalgic eyes. After all, nine years ago, he had often traveled to this county government office, whether it was for him to work for relief for Luyang or for the Zheng family in Ruyang.
Just as he was feeling emotion, he saw a bloated figure from the corner of his eyes, hurriedly walking towards this side, and turned around and saw that it was the county magistrate Wang Dan and Wang Fengzhong.
"The lower-ranking official Wang Dan, the magistrate of Ruyang County, will pay homage to the Duwei of Zhou."
He walked quickly to Zhao Yu panting, and Wang Dan bowed and bowed.
Zhao Yuxu made a comeback and said with a smile: "If you are the magistrate of Wang County came out to greet him, Zhou Hu is ashamed."
“Where…”
Wang Dan was about to say a few flattering words when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ding Wu standing behind Zhao Yu, and his face immediately became a little unfair.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled slightly: This Wang Dan is still very smart.
He smiled quietly and said, "Mr. Wang, let's talk about it later when we go to the yamen, how about it?"
"well."
