Chapter 419 The first time in the Tang Dynasty
Wang Jia is on a mountain in the rear, surrounded by more than ten subordinates.
Hundreds of cavalry suddenly launched an attack from the rear, which was his trump card.
"The dozens of people in front are the bait, and Jia Ping'an really went..." Wang Jia's eyes were somewhat confused, "Is this the so-called titan?"
A companion laughed and said: "You think highly of this man, the Tang Dynasty is full of stars, he is a fart for a young man. Wang Jia, do we want to make a surprise attack?"
Wang Jia shook his head, "There will be important people in Chang'an who will cut their tails to survive this matter, so it's not good for us to show our heads again. Those people in front of us are enough."
"People from Zhechong Mansion in Luoyang were swept away by Li Ting, and many of them would go crazy. And when people go crazy, they want to kill their enemies! This is my gift to Jia Ping'an, I hope he likes it."
At the foot of the mountain, the remaining ten or a hundred riders blocked behind. Jia Pingan and others were rushing back, but it was obviously too late.
The thieves shouted happily, the horseshoes were thundering, and the team's pack horses were neighing uncomfortably.
"Where's Xiao Jia?"
Where is my little Jia...Xu Jingzong looked back and found in despair that Jia Ping'an was too late to come back.
"The old man... in those days, he also immediately slashed the knife." Xu Jingzong pulled out the horizontal knife tremblingly, and shouted: "Rush forward!"
Nobody paid any attention to him.
The prisoner tied to the car shouted: "Help me!"
There is probably no way out for this trip, and it is better to live than to die. If you follow these people into the mountains, you can become a hermit anyway!
A hundred knights tore off the cape suddenly, and the burly body caught the eyes of the thieves.
He pulled out his horizontal knife, which was wider than ordinary regulations, and laughed wildly: "Yeye Li Jingye is here!"
"kill!"
Li Jingye charged forward first.
Damn it!
"Li Jingye is actually hiding in Baiqili? Why didn't Xiao Jia tell the old man?" Xu Jingzong said angrily, "Could he be able to kill those thieves by himself?"
Before the words fell, Li Jingye approached the enemy.
Nothing fancy, just a knife.
Another cut!
He slashed vigorously, and the thief kept falling.
Xu Jingzong was dumbfounded.
Wang Jia has been staring at Jia Ping'an, and asked casually: "Did you break Baiqi?"
The companion did not answer, Wang Jia was displeased, "Did you kill the criminal?"
What saves you from fleeing, there is no such thing, just kill them all. The first is to kill the mouth, and the second is to let Jia Ping take the blame. This technique can be called sharp.
"Wang Jia...failed."
A man who was watching the battle slapped suddenly, and the branch beside him broke off.
"Huh?" Wang Jia tilted his head, just in time to see the scene where Li Jingye was on the rampage.
"It's Li Jingye!"
"Li Jingye is so brave? No wonder Jia Pingan dared to take most of his troops to the front to meet the enemy."
"No, this is a trap." Wang Jia pressed the handle of the knife, his eyes gloomy, "Jia Pingan has been hiding Li Jingye, even if Baiqi was attacked in Luoyang, it was just that we expected us to do it."
"Defeated!"
Someone said helplessly: "Li Jingye is indeed a fierce general, one person can disperse more than a hundred people."
"Back then, Xue Wanche was such a hero, he dared to kill more than ten thousand enemy troops with hundreds of horses."
Wang Jia saw Jia Pingan bringing someone back, "It's over!"
The thieves below have already begun to flee.
Jia Ping'an reined in his horse, and glanced across the area.
Wang Jia continued watching with a sneer.
"My arrangement, it's time to move!"
On the edge of the road below, a figure popped up from under a pile of fallen leaves.
Among the falling leaves, Ming Jing exclaimed: "Assassin!"
She leaps off her horse.
As soon as the assassin stood firm, he opened his bow and set an arrow, aiming at Jia Ping'an.
Wang Jia sneered and said, "This time, let's see how you escape from death!"
Scumbag, this kind of method is also trying to kill me... Jia Pingan is staring at this hillside, that is, in the direction of Wang Jia, with cold eyes, without the slightest hint of fear.
The two Baiqi stretched out their hands, and the things in their hands that resembled the suitcases of the later generations scattered down with a clatter.
Shua!
Two long shields stood up in front of Jia Ping'an's body and beside him.
From decomposition to opening, the speed is unbelievable.
It stands to reason that an assassin should be calm and almost ruthless, calm and not startled when the landslide is in front of him... But the target is gone, and the assassin is stunned for a moment.
After losing his target, he had to choose.
Whether to flee or charge up.
Ming Jing came and punched him, the assassin blocked him casually, but Ming Jing got down from her body without a sound.
The assassin had to pay attention to Jia Pingan's reaction while dealing with her, so he couldn't do his best to deal with Ming Jing.
He leapt into the air to avoid the kick.
Bao Dong stretches his bow and nocks an arrow.
Assassin landed, Ming Jing was just about to make a move when he found an arrow stuck in his throat.
"Bao Dong!"
Bao Dong raised his bow and arrow again, looking at the mountain.
"Wang Jia, failed."
Wang Jia's eyes showed a little anger for the first time, "This method of protecting the emperor... If it wasn't for this, he would be dead at this moment! Let's go!"
…
When the weather is hot, the work efficiency of the household department will be low, and there is no good way to achieve high performance.
"Get some medicinal materials for relieving heat, and boil soup for everyone to drink."
Old Gao is also very hot, but as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, he must lead by example.
"Well... has Yang Deli been doing well recently?"
He sat down, only feeling a wave of heat behind him.
The little official said with a smile: "Master Yang has been very law-abiding recently, and he hasn't found any faults for half a month."
"Oh! That's good." Gao Xing felt relaxed and even wanted to take a nap.
After a while he felt more refreshed, so he went to inspect various places.
When we arrived at Cangbu, because of the hot weather, the officials were lazy, and some even took a nap.
"It's outrageous!" Gao Xing said coldly: "How do you manage the warehouse department? Some people are even taking a nap."
Cangbu Langzhong Xiang Changlin panicked, "Gao Shangshu, the weather is too hot."
"Really?" Gao Xing pushed open the door of a value room.
Yang Deli was looking through the account books at his desk, and there were various records at hand. He was so absorbed that he didn't notice anyone coming in.
Needless to say, Xiang Changlin was "extremely ashamed".
"If everyone in Cangbu can do this, I will recommend you to be the Minister of the Household Department next year!"
Gao fulfilled a promise and threw it over, but Xiang Changlin didn’t dare to accept it, “Gao Shangshu, Yang Deli is so...incomparable.”
This person is full of doing things, as if only doing things is the whole meaning of life.
Yang Deli realized it at this moment, and hurriedly got up to salute.
High executives know that they should not be too tough in controlling their subordinates. One has to be tough and the other soft...the hard side is punishment, but what about softness?
Yang Deli is the best soft.
Gao Xing walked out of the duty room, and said in a loud voice: "Yang Deli, the head of the warehouse department, works diligently, and can set an example for the household department. If I can find out some important things, I will definitely ask for credit for him and work hard for his promotion!"
Damn it!
A Shangshu is so embarrassing for his subordinates to get promoted.
Those officials are envious and jealous in various ways, but they are also incompetent in various ways.
Yang Deli's crazy work style... I can't learn it from concubines!
A group of unmotivated idiots... Gao Xing said indifferently: "Whether it is Yang Deli or whoever has made meritorious deeds, I will also work hard for him!"
This is the bait.
Work hard, and if you have achieved results, I swear that I will ask for credit for you. If I can’t be promoted, I will swallow the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
Everyone was shocked.
But no one is as fierce as Yang Delizhen... He was trembling like chaff, so excited that he couldn't help himself...
"Promotion... If you can be promoted, my aunt's spirit in heaven will definitely be happy, aunt..."
He looked left and right, slapped his forehead, and said annoyedly: "Now that I have my own house value, why did I forget to make another memorial tablet for my aunt, and it would be nice to burn a few incense sticks every day!"
He was so happy that he even looked at the account books with sharper eyes.
I want to be promoted!
But... What if Gao Shangshu said it casually?
Yang Deli rushed out with a whoosh, and Gao Xingxing was walking out.
"Noble book!"
Gao Xun turned around, saw that he was a model he had set up, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong?"
Yang Deli asked seriously: "If you find something important, will you be promoted?"
How can there be so many big things for you to find?
Yang Deli's highest record is to find out that he loses thousands of catties every year, which is a big deal.
You should try to find out... Gao Xingxing nodded, "As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I will naturally let it go."
Yang Deli's lips squirmed, ten thousand words of flattery, and finally turned into one sentence, "Gao Shangshu... so handsome."
There is a saying in later generations that a man will always be a teenager, which refers to the mentality of a man.
Gao fulfilled the same mentality. Although he knew that Yang Deli's words were mostly against his will, he was also quite happy.
Xiang Changlin was worried that Gao Xing would be displeased, so he shouted: "You are full of nonsense, why don't you go back to work?"
Turning his head, he said with a smile: "Yang Deli has never read a book, and only learned some from his cousin Wu Yangbo in the past few years. He is still vulgar and uneducated, but Gao Shangshu laughed at him."
You want to say that the old man is not handsome enough?
Because it is Yang Deli who is so handsome, the old man is in a happy mood. If it were you, Xiang Changlin, the old man would be ashamed and angry at you!
High fulfillment walks away.
"I'm...why did I make a mistake?"
Xiang Changlin looked confused.
…
"How much is a memorial tablet?"
"This... brand is not worth much, but piety is valuable. You can see that your husband is a nobleman. If you are pious, your ancestors can hear it and receive those incenses."
Yang Deli shook his head, turned around and left.
The man shouted: "Five cents less!"
Yang Deli shook his head again.
The man shouted: "It's ten cents less, it can't be lower."
He thinks the deal is done.
"I'll go home and make it myself."
wipe!
The buddy scolded: "You actually met such a ruthless person?"
Yang Deli returned home, found wood, processed it by himself, but felt a little numb when he finally wrote.
Mrs. Wang came with her daughter Da Ya in her arms.
"Aye!"
The one-year-old girl sounded like a baby, Yang Deli looked up and smiled: "Aye, make a tablet and play with you later."
Wang knows Yang Deli's stingy temperament, "What is this?"
"Tablet."
"That's writing... How about going to the next door? Du He used to be an official, so the handwriting must be excellent."
"Yeah! How did I forget him."
This is the field where the fat does not flow to outsiders.
So Yang Deli had an extra tablet in his value room.
In the morning, he entered the duty room, cleaned it first, then Yang Deli lit three sticks of incense, and muttered: "Auntie eats incense."
Then he started working.
It's not that he has no grades in the past half month, but he is investigating something.
"The flood in Lantian County... actually lost 31 households and 259 people. Huazhou was also hit by heavy rain and floods back then, but not many people died."
Yang Deli then went to the household department.
"I'll look for Lantian's household registration."
The colleagues in the household department are also used to all kinds of strange things of this person, so they provide convenience.
Yang Deli followed the number and found the population of more than 20 households all the way.
"Huh!"
Yang Deli was surprised to find that these twenty-one families were not in the same place.
"That year, most of the drowned people in Huazhou were in one place. Couldn't the whole place be submerged by the flood?"
Yang Deli copied these materials, and then went to ask for leave.
Xiang Changlin readily approved, and Yang Deli went to Dongshi to find a few businessmen from Lantian.
"Did there be a flood in Lantian last year?"
"yes!"
"Can it be big?"
"Not small, but mostly in unoccupied places."
"Ask again, do you know how many people drowned?"
"It is said that hundreds of people were drowned, but unless the entire village is flooded, how can it be possible?"
This is the experience of the bottom people.
Yang Deli returned to the household department to ask for leave again, and then went to Lantian to check the original addresses of the 21 households one by one.
"How could it be submerged here?"
Standing beside the intact house, Yang Deli was full of black question marks.
Back to Chang'an City, he went straight to Changlin.
—In the future, you will not be able to skip the report! This is a warning to Changlin.
He learned his lesson.
"I went to Shangshu to Langzhong."
"oh!"
Yang Deli went to Gao Xing's place very honestly.
"...All the ministers in the court have said before that the weather is hot, and things are slow everywhere, and they must be dealt with severely."
Gao Xing was conveying the resolution of the court to the doctors of various ministries. He looked at the doctors and found that most of them were sleepy. He couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "You must learn from Yang Deli in doing things!"
"Gao Shangshu, Master Cangbu Yang, please see me."
Old man, what kind of mouth is this? Could it be that a while ago I saw Gao Ren working... Gao Xing said indifferently; "Let him in."
stood up to Chang Lin and said: "Gao Shangshu, Yang Deli is about to take leave, and he is back."
"Come back when you come back."
Is this another mistake of discovering hundreds of catties of grain? In this way, the old man wants to reward in public, so as to boost the morale of the household department.
Yang Deli came in, and found that Gao Xing smiled very kindly, and couldn't help being excited.
This is Gao Shangshu's affirmation of my work... He said loudly: "Gao Shangshu, Mr. Xiang, I found out that Lantian County sold 31 households with a population of 259 people a while ago. I have a look at the reason. , It turned out to be a flood and drowned. The lower official thought it wrong! In the past, when there was a flood in my hometown, unless it was a major flood, how could so many people die? And no one escaped, which made the lower official puzzled."
Not good... Gao Xun only felt his forehead throbbing.
Just as Xiang Changlin was about to reprimand Yang Deli, Yang Deli had already articulated the problem, "Later, the officials went to Lantian to check. The 31 scattered households were basically just on the side of the flood. How could people be drowned?" gone?"
Look, I've found a big problem, I didn't get promoted this time... Yang Deli was very happy.
Gao fulfilled his lips trembling.
What a crime I have committed! To be the superior of this kind of people...Xiang Changlin cupped his hands tremblingly, "Gao Shangshu, please keep your mouth shut."
It’s not silence, it means that Xiang Changlin still has reason... Gao Xing nodded, “That’s it, don’t say anything about this matter.”
Xiang Changlin felt that he had scored, so he was about to scold Yang Deli, but found that he was embarrassed.
"You are..."
You didn't tell others, did you?
Xiang Changlin only felt the thumping of the little heart, just like the sound of being kicked into the water by the little lady next door when he was young.
Hidden households have been a chronic disease since the former Han Dynasty.
What is a hidden household?
refers to the people who are not in the household registration.
These people are not registered, so they will naturally not pay taxes, and they will not be subject to labor.
According to later generations, this is tax evasion!
And one of the achievements of local officials is to clean up hidden households. The more hidden households you clear out, the greater the credit.
Since the former Han Dynasty, few people who cleared up hidden households had good results.
Most of those hidden households are in the hands of aristocratic families and dignitaries. They farm the land and pay rent all day long. They seem to have lost their household registration, but compared with the official taxes paid, their lives are already very happy.
This is also the reason why the people took the initiative to seek refuge.
What are in the hands of the aristocratic family and the powerful, you go and try to grab it?
The so-called existence is reasonable...
You want to say this is unreasonable, but whose world is this?
All the doubts ultimately come down to one question: whose world is this?
This is the world of aristocratic families, the world of powerful and powerful people, so the matter of hidden households exists in all parts of the Tang Dynasty openly.
Now Yang Deli has found out that someone violated the regulations and accepted his beloved as a hidden household.
But Yang Deli didn't think there was any problem at all, he only saw credit and waste... So under Xiang Changlin's nervous gaze, he smiled and said: "Xiaguan just told others about it."
"who?"
Give Chang Lin his hands at Gao Xun, "The lower officials have overstepped."
Gao did not move, and acquiesced Xiang Changlin asked Yang Deli here.
Does something seem wrong? Could it be that the credit is so great that Gao Shangshu wants to share some of it? Pingan said that being an official means hello, me, hello, everyone, so... let's give them some.
Yang Deli endured his distress, "Tell several people."
Xiang Changlin sat back relaxed.
One person may still keep his mouth shut, but several people...according to the urinating nature of those officials' gossip, it has already spread.
Afterwards, those aristocratic families will treat Yang Deli as an enemy, and even he, a warehouse doctor, will not be able to escape.
Yeah life is so hard...
Knelt down suddenly to Chang Lin, "Gao Shang Shu."
There is no such thing as kneeling in Datang, so kneeling to Chang Lin is particularly precious and important.
Gao Xing was thinking about this matter, thinking about how to minimize the impact of the matter, and seeing him kneeling down, he frowned and said, "What's the matter? Get up!"
Looking up at Chang Lin, "Gao Shangshu, I beg Gao Shangshu to get the subordinates to go elsewhere, the Ministry of Finance, Duzhi, anywhere, even if it is a master job."
this…
Someone was forced by his subordinates to take the initiative to demote him!
This is the first time in the Tang Dynasty!
What did i do wrong? It seems not? Could it be that this merit is too great, and Xiang Langzhong is worried that I am the master of my meritorious service? Yang Deli looked bewildered.
Recommendation: "The Great Master of the Heavens is Fierce"
