Li Zhiwan's Request
Chapter 26 Li Zhiwan's Request
The two major national policies implemented by Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty, were to look good and read, and to transfer nationality to set a sample.
In the early years of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the population of the country was insufficient, so Yang Jian ordered that county and county officials thoroughly check household registration, which is called Dasuo Maangyue.This national policy was implemented from the third year of Kaihuang to the seventh year of Daye.The population of the Sui Dynasty increased from 380 million households at the beginning to 890 million households at its peak in the fifth year of Daye, which also represented the peak of the national power of the Sui Dynasty.
Li Zhiwan helped Li Chongjiu to obtain the Huang Ji, and took advantage of this gap, and obtained the Huang Ji with the number of household registrations that were not included by the government.
Li Chongjiu took out a few pieces of yellow paper from the brocade box, all of which had the appearance of the registered person written on it, so as to identify yellow, small, medium, D, old five and so on.Determining the fifth class is to lose the nationality and set the sample, in order to customize the tax amount, to determine the forced labor, transfer, and taxation of the fifth class people.
The yellow paper was also certified by Lizheng, Baochang, and Dangchang from Taiyuan County, and it was believed to be true. However, on the household registration, it was determined that the nine people were businessmen, engaged in cheap business and did not live in the local area.In the seventh year of Daye, because of the conquest of Liaodong, many households abandoned their nationality and went into exile. They either became exiles or devoted themselves to protecting aristocratic families.In order to make up for the deficiencies of the refugees, the local officials also tacitly agreed to Li Zhiwan's move as long as they were willing to pay taxes, and they would not be held accountable.
But Li Zhiwan said: "However, brother Li, the household registration of your step has not been done yet."
Li Chongjiu was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Is it because of County Magistrate Yin?"
Li Zhiwan and Jian Xue's faces showed that this person was really smart.
Jian Xue said from the side: "That's right, Young Master, you killed Shiai County's township brigade leader, team leader, and team leader three, so Yin County Magistrate has issued arrest documents to all counties."
"It is said in the document that if you are captured alive, you will be rewarded with [-] hangs, and if you kill him, you will be rewarded with [-] hangs. The arrest documents will spread all over Taiyuan, Shangdang, and even the entire Bingzhou in the near future. Unless Brother Li has been in Erxian Zhuang Nei, taking shelter of the red-haired spiritual officer, will be unable to move an inch."
Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the two of them formed a bond when they were in Qiqianzhai.He had inquired about the details of the county magistrate of Yin. The other party was Yin Kaishan, one of the 24 generals of Lingyan Pavilion in history, and the founding hero of Li and Tang in history.In Journey to the West, he is also Tang Seng's father-in-law.
Not to mention the future, even now the other party is also the magistrate of one party, and after the family, I can't afford to provoke him.However, regarding Jianxue's concern, Li Chongjiu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Li will be careful."
Seeing Li Chongjiu's answer like this, Jianxue was hesitant to speak, and Li Zhi said politely: "Jianxue has good intentions. In fact, with Brother Li's resourcefulness, he will not pay attention to this court's arrest. But no matter what. To be reminded is also what a friend should mean."
Li Chongjiu smiled, although Li Zhiwan's words were beautiful, but of course he would not be so innocent that the other party rushed from Taiyuan County to Shangdang County despite the hardships of the journey, just to remind himself a few words.
Li Chongjiu understands the meaning of Li Zhiwan's current solicitation by hearing Xiange, and Er Xianzhuang is also helpless if he is wanted by the imperial court, and only a big family like the Li family can protect him. Li Chongjiu took refuge in the Li family.It seems like a good idea to work for the Li family. According to the historical trend, the investment is low and the return is high. In the future, when Li Tang wins the world, he will be a servant of the dragon, and his meritorious service will be guaranteed.
Li Chongjiu turned his head to look at the big man in Xuanjia standing under the pavilion.All of these people looked dignified and said nothing, obviously well-trained.Maybe Li Chongjiu will join the Li family in the future, and he will be one of them, so let's stand under the steps and stand up.
Of course, there is another prospect that is to be elected as the leader of the team and prepare to conquer Liaodong, which has long been rejected by Li Chongjiu.Therefore, both of them are what Li Chongjiu is unwilling to take now.
After Li Chongjiu thought it over clearly, he would not wait for Li Zhiwan to say the words of soliciting him again, and wait for him to refuse, this would only embarrass the two of them.Li Chongjiu took the lead and said: "That's right, even if this matter is not arrested, I have decided to go south and leave Bingzhou soon."
As soon as Li Chongjiu's words came out, it was tantamount to blocking Li Zhiwan's unspoken words in a disguised form, leaving affection for both sides.
Li Zhiwan was still pondering, but Jian Xue's face clearly showed disappointment, and she couldn't help but whispered: "Mr. Li."
"Bah!" A person on the side suddenly said, "Jianxue, the other party is just a mere bandit, how can he be called a son like that."
Li Chongjiu looked and saw the big man in iron armor standing beside Li Zhiwan, showing displeasure.
"Uncle Changsun." Li Zhiwan said, but the other party stretched out his hand and looked at Li Chongjiu solemnly.
The eldest grandson, Li Chongjiu, heard the other party's surname from Li Zhiwan's words, and couldn't help but think a little bit.
When the Changsun family was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was a prominent surname of the royal family.When Xiaowen was Sinicized in the Northern Wei Dynasty, one branch of the Tuoba family and the royal family were all changed to the Han surname Yuan, while the branch with the same surname Tuoba was changed to the Changsun family.And the other party's name is the Changsun family, and he is walking in the Li family, so it is easy to guess.
Changsun Wuji was still too young at this time, about the same age as himself, obviously impossible, and the other party was a middle-aged man in terms of age, so it must be the eldest grandson Shunde of Li Jiazhong's dog.The other party is Changsun Wuji, the uncle of Changsun Wugou.
Facing the opponent's provocation, Li Chongjiu asked indifferently: "Naturally, you can't be called a son. If you dare to ask, you are from the Changsun family."
The big man said proudly: "That's right, this is Changsun Shunde, you and other little thieves also know the reputation of Changsun."
Li Chongjiu immediately bowed and said seriously: "It really is the Changsun family, disrespectful, disrespectful."
The big man snorted heavily through his nostrils, thinking what kind of eyes the young lady has, such a flattering villain can be regarded as some kind of talent.
I just heard Li Chongjiu say unhurriedly: "I really can't be called a son. I think only the descendants of the eldest grandson's family can be a son. I just don't know why this son deliberately bowed down to be a slave in the Li family. What is your reason?"
"You are just a bandit, how dare you be so presumptuous." Chang Sun Shunde couldn't help being furious when he choked on Li Chongjiu's words.
It's no wonder that Changsun Shunde was furious. He had a hard time submitting himself to the family of Li's family.He was originally an official of the right guard of the imperial court, but unfortunately this time the imperial court conquered Liaodong, he was on the list. In order to avoid the battle of Liaodong, the eldest grandson Shunde escaped from the army and took shelter of Li's family, temporarily commanding this team of Xuanjia Jingqi.
It's just that Li Chongjiu regarded him as a servant even though he was clearly a doorman. How could he not make him furious, but he couldn't refute it, because no matter if he was a doorman or a servant, he would humiliate the identity of the eldest grandson's family.
Eldest Sun Shunde, with his iron armor shaking, the other party stared round his eyes and said: "Little thief surnamed Li, let me tell you, you must not be ignorant of flattery, and let the young lady's kindness towards you be disappointed. You must know that you are the court's criminal. us……"
"Uncle Changsun..." Seeing Li Chongjiu's complexion getting colder, Li Zhiwan immediately stopped shouting, she said sincerely, "Regardless of whether Brother Li is an official or not, he is still a friend of my Li family."
Hearing the words, Changsun Shunde was stunned and took a step back. He could only hold back his anger and said, "Yes, Miss."
"Brother Li, can I take a step to speak?"
"of course."
Outside the pavilion is a flower field, Li Chongjiu and Li Zhiwan are running side by side on the flower field, and there are undulating mountains in the distance.Li Zhiwan pointed to the distance and said, "Brother Li, why is it that when we meet again this time, we are far less harmonious than when we were in the cottage?"
Li Chongjiu said: "In the cottage, I was a man and you were a woman, but in the mortal world, you are the legitimate daughter of the Li Clan, and I am a wanted bandit. I have different identities, and my opinion is superior."
Li Zhiwan looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "Yes, that's why I asked you to talk alone. Don't treat me as the Li Clan's legitimate daughter, and don't worry about hurting my face. Let me ask you if you are willing to join the Li family?"
Li Zhiwan looked at Li Chongjiu seriously, begging with soft words in her tone, Li Chongjiu looked into her sea-like blue eyes, but almost agreed.
Li Chongjiu pointed to the distant mountain and said: "Miss, look at this mountain. When I was a child, I always wanted to know what was behind the mountain. When I encountered water, I always wanted to know where the water went. The beauty of life lies in the infinite possibilities. The Li family is like sailing in a boat, although it is much faster, but it loses the fun of exploration. Can you understand?"
Li Chongjiu turned his head, and saw Li Zhiwan's eyes flashed brightly.Li Zhiwan said: "I'm right, Brother Li is really a person with extraordinary ambitions. I understand. Although I regret that my family missed a talent like Brother Li, but I am grateful for having a confidant like Brother Li today. Happy."
Seeing what Li Zhiwan said, Li Chongjiu reciprocated, raised his arms and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Miss San, you are the first person to appreciate Li."
"Believe me, I'm definitely not the last one." Li Zhiwan smiled sweetly, her delicate and beautiful color actually overshadowed all the flowers in the flower field.
Li Chongjiu felt a little burned by this smile, and said quickly: "Then I will take my leave, Miss San."
There was a trace of reluctance in Li Zhiwan's eyes but she still said: "Okay, but brother Li, please remember that no matter when the Li family is the next choice, my sincerity will not change."
After speaking, Li Chongjiu got up and walked out of the pavilion, and took the reins from the big man Xuanjia.Li Zhiwan stood in the pavilion, watching Li Chongjiu ride his horse away.
Eldest Sun Shunde said from the side: "Miss, this person is so ignorant of flattery, he swept my Li family's face away."
Li Zhiwan smiled and said nothing.Jian Xue smiled slightly at the side and said: "Miss, I don't think that this person looks down on our Li family."
Li Zhiwan looked back at Jian Xue and asked, "You little girl, what do you think?"
Jianxue stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss, what do I think? I guess, Li...Li Chongjiu has a crush on Miss, but he thinks he is not worthy of Miss because he is a bandit. If he becomes an official in my Li family again, But as a domestic servant, it is even more difficult to have the opportunity to be with the young lady."
"That's why, that's why I think he wants to make a fortune on his own, and in the future he will be able to achieve something in the right family, and then he will marry the young lady."
Jian Xue said with such a smile.Li Zhiwan shook her head after hearing this.
On the other hand, the elder Sun Shunde sneered and said, "The toad wants to eat swan meat, it's wishful thinking."
"Let's go!" Li Zhiwan got on the horse.Jianxue rode her horse to catch up with Li Zhiwan and said, "Miss, I feel that you are a little different to him. In the past, it was rare for the young lady to say a word to you when the children of the aristocratic families talked to you. Today, you actually came to invite this little thief in person. What's wrong with you?" Talk alone. Isn't that different?"
Jian Xue saw Li Zhiwan's eyes turned sideways, she quickly stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss, do you really let this little thief go?"
Li Zhiwan said angrily: "He insists on leaving, so I can't ask him."
"After that, Miss and her will have no chance to meet again? The world is so big, there are thousands of roads, and there are not many chances for the two to meet again."
Li Zhiwan was silent for a while and said: "If he is really capable and can stand out, we will definitely see you again."
