The mountains are stretched, the terrain is high and steep, and a large river passes through several mountains.
The water of the big river is green, and sometimes I see an old man holding a bamboo boat passing by on the river.
Suddenly, the old man standing on the bamboo boat, holding a bamboo pole for rowing, stopped rowing, quickly placed the bamboo pole on the bamboo boat, and then quickly pulled up the head of the fishing net, section by section. Pull back.
When I was almost finished fishing, I saw several big fish jumping alive in the fishing net.
Seeing this, the old man was overjoyed and hurriedly took off the big fat fish from the fishing net and placed them in his own feast.
The 筌箵 is a vessel used by the people living here to hold fish. It is made of bamboo. This 筌箵 has become a must-have item for almost every household living here to hold fish.
Seeing this, the old man was not satisfied because these fishes could not fill his basket.
The trap he made was so big that it could hold at least dozens of such big fish.
I saw that after the old man had finished the fishing net, he cast it into the water, tied one end of the fishing net to the roots of a bush hanging in the water, then picked up the bamboo pole, held the fishing net that had not yet been cast in one hand, and held it in the other. Holding the bamboo pole, he carefully rowed forward, casting down the net in his hand as he rowed.
After rowing a certain distance, the old man saw that most of the fishing net in his hand had been spread out and had reached the end of the fishing net.
Then, the old man carefully placed the bamboo pole on the bamboo boat, holding the other end of the fishing net in both hands and tying it to the roots of the bushes hanging in the water.
After tying it up, the old man had a smile on his face.
Then, the old man stretched his hand into another bamboo basket on his back. However, there was no fish in this bamboo basket. It was filled with stones. After grabbing a handful of stones, the old man put a handful of stones in his hand. The stone was thrown into the water.
I saw waves rising on the water.
The old man did this to scare the fish in the water with stones, so that the panicked fish would swim towards the net he had arranged, so that he could harvest the fish.
The old man's fishing net is a bit simple, but this fishing net has been with him for many years. It was made by himself using small and solid ropes. Over the years, it has been repaired and repaired.
Just as the old man was throwing stones into every corner of the water, he heard the shouts of people and horses coming from the river bank.
Not far from the river bank, there is an official road.
This official road is wider than ordinary roads, and there are many people and horses coming and going, but the old man has not heard such loud noises for a long time.
Hearing this sound, the old man straightened his back. Although he didn't see what it was, he still looked over there with interest.
When the sound was no longer heard, the old man continued to devote himself to fishing.
"Hurry up! Cheer up!"
"quick!"
On the official road, a man on a horse shouted loudly.
This man has a sturdy build, a yellow face, and a thick beard. He holds the horse's reins tightly with both hands.
He was Zhao Jin, the governor of Guangnan Province, and he was followed by his soldiers.
These soldiers looked like there were about three thousand people, all wearing armor, holding spears and knives in their hands, running behind Governor Zhao's horse.
"Everyone, run faster!" Governor Zhao shouted again.
these people
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Among them, only Governor Zhao enjoyed the right to ride a horse, while the others could only run on two feet.
There were about 10,000 people ambushing them in a mountain not far away.
These people were hiding halfway up the mountain, each using weeds, leaves, etc. to cover their bodies and heads.
They are a team from Xitong County built by the people themselves to resist the imperial court.
These soldiers are not all the troops in Xitong County. There are still more than 20,000 people who are still training with the fat general Zheng Tai in Xitong County.
"Brother Xu, this...will they really come from this way?" General He Yuhong asked impatiently.
After listening to He Yuhong's words, Chunxu turned to look at He Yuhong and smiled slightly: "Don't worry. They will definitely come from this road." After speaking, Chunxu asked: "You are here alone, how can your father Are you relieved?"
"Don't worry. I won't die so soon. Besides, my family's revenge has not been fully avenged, so how can I die so soon?" He Yuhong said with a smile on his face.
"Okay. They will be here in a moment. Act as planned."
"good."
On one side, a war was starting outside Nanwang County, and on the other side, the court only received news from Nanwang County at this time.
"According to a letter from the Governor of Guangnan, there was a rebellion among the people in Nanwang County, Yishi Prefecture in Guangnan. According to the letter, no one in the Nanwang County government office survived. The Governor of Guangnan has led all the troops to suppress it. . What do you think of this matter?" Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi asked.
Knowing that the implementation of this law was not good for the people, Du Antong, the governor, boldly said: "I think it must be caused by tax collection. The tax money collected last year was not as much as this year. The tax money collected the year before last was higher than last year." Many people here have complained. After all, the harvest was less last year. But you also know that the harvest in this area was not good last year. This year, so much tax money was suddenly collected. It is understandable for the people to rebel. .”
Only the Grand Governor Du Antong could answer the questions asked by Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, and the other officials could not find a word to say for a long time.
Seeing that he was the only one who dared to answer so many officials, Su Yunqi, as the left prime minister, loved and hated the governor.
Love, love that he dared to answer his own questions; hate, hate that his answers made him very unhappy, almost accusing himself in front of all the civil and military officials of not being able to cure the country.
"Captain Du, when you say this, you mean that the measure implemented is unreliable, right?" Su Yunqi asked pretending not to be angry.
"Yes." Governor Du Antong said boldly: "People's lives are already difficult. If we do this again, it will be difficult not only for the local officials but also for the people."
Seeing Du Antong caring so much about the people, Su Yunqi didn't know what to say to prove that his measures were good, so he had to use money from the treasury to prove it first.
"Cen Shangshu." Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi called out.
"The official is here." Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, responded.
"Tell me, how much money does the treasury have this time?" Su Yunqi asked.
Cen Wenxing: "Back to Prime Minister Zuo, according to yesterday's statistics, there are 22 million silver coins in the national treasury."
This amount of money is much less than the money in the national treasury in the first year of Dechang, but it is a little higher than last year, which was the eleventh year of Dechang.
After hearing this, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, looked at Du Antong with a stern look on his face: "You just said that if you implement this item, it will embarrass the local officials, and it will embarrass the local officials even more. But you know that if this item is not implemented, the treasury will lose money." How much more can be collected? If Governor Du is dissatisfied with the actual actions, then
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Next time the treasury is short of money, can you please ask Governor Du to come up with a solution? "
As soon as the left prime minister Su Yunqi said something, the governor Du Antong stopped saying a word.
Seeing that the civil and military officials were speechless, Su Yun, the left prime minister, stood up and said, "You have nothing to say, do you? I'll just tell you a few words. Although this method may seem cruel, it is the only way to collect taxes." The most effective method. If a county is in chaos, it cannot represent the true nature of this method. This method is not good. If a county is in chaos, just suppress it. Speaking of which, if you all try your best, this country will not be reduced to what it is now. situation."
Looking at the officials who were still silent and with their heads lowered, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi sighed: "Okay, let's withdraw from the court."
…
"I'm coming."
"Prepare."
Chunxu's words made the villagers who were lying in ambush concentrate. They looked at the approaching soldiers with their ears waiting for orders.
Seeing that it was almost done, Chunxu shouted: "Do it!"
At the sound of words, Governor Zhao Jin, who was riding ahead, pulled the horse and said, "Hey!" After the horse stopped, just when Governor Zhao Jin wanted to see where the sound came from, he felt a vibration on the ground.
Then, I saw big rocks rolling down.
Seeing this, Governor Zhao Jin subconsciously pulled his horse back. After taking a few steps back, before Governor Zhao Jin knew what was going on, these rolling rocks blocked their way.
It’s not impossible to go there, but people have to walk there, which is a bit more difficult.
Just when Governor Zhao Jin had this idea, he saw arrows flying towards this side.
The dense arrows hit many soldiers.
"Be careful!" Governor Zhao Jin shouted and pulled out the long knife.
As soon as he pulled it out, an arrow flew towards him. Fortunately, he acted quickly and cut the flying arrow in half with his long knife, saving his life. Oh no! It should be said that it is life.
"Brothers! Charge!" Chunxu shouted, then pulled out his sword and ran down.
All the brothers ran down with him.
Seeing so many people, Governor Zhao Jin panicked a little, and began to speculate, wondering if this was the group of unruly people from Nanwang County.
Before he could think more, a sword struck him. Fortunately, Governor Zhao acted quickly and saved his life.
This time, he didn't have time to shout, and he started to have sex with the man on horseback.
This man was Chunxu. Knowing that the villagers couldn't defeat this big guy, he went to fight with this big guy in a governor's battle.
Thinking that they must be the unruly people from Nanwang County, Governor Zhao stabbed them with a long knife. When Chunxu was hiding, Governor Zhao shouted: "These are the unruly people from Nanwang County! Cheer up!" If we win, we can go back and eat delicious food!"
When you mention this, it is more effective than any words of encouragement.
I saw these soldiers using all their strength and slashing at the group of armored soldiers with the spears and knives they held in their hands.
Just had a chop. Ouch! What armor is this! Why is this long knife missing?
In the face of life, regardless of whether the knife is sharp or not, save life first. These soldiers slashed at them with the knife again. However, after what they had just experienced, these soldiers did not dare to use the knife to attack their armor anymore. Cut off the areas not covered by armor.
