.

When Wei Zheng came to see Xiao Buyi, he was dusty and looked even thinner.

However, although it was covered in dust, Wei Zheng's goatee no longer looked so annoying. A glimmer of joy flashed in his slender eyes. Seeing that everyone was getting up to greet him, Xiao Buyi even met the door and whispered: "I'm late. I've encountered some thieves on the road. It's not that easy to get rid of them."

Everyone saw his clothes and dusty face, and his shoes were different, which was very strange. Although they knew that they encountered bandits more than their parents, wasn’t Wei Zheng under Yuan Lan’s arrangement? He should be safe and sound, so why are he still covered in dust?

Xiao Buyi was also full of doubts and turned his head to look at Yuan Lan. He did not meet Wei Zheng in Runan. Yuan Lan said that Wei Zheng had something to do when he went out and did not say where to go. Xiao Buyi was very worried.

He could easily let go of the General of the Right Guard, but he still couldn't let go of the two people he met in Eastern Expedition, namely Pei Xingyan and Wei Zheng.

During the Eastern Expedition, although he was not familiar with the two, and even said that he had met Wei Zheng for the first time, he tried his best to win over the two of them. Although he looked at them in the eyes of others, he was careless. In fact, it proved that Pei Xingyan and Wei Zheng did not let down his trust. The two of them complemented each other, making it very convenient for him to march and fight.

But Xiao Buyi would give his subordinates the greatest autonomy and choice. He said he was just a joke and deterrent to the enemy, but he was sincere to his friends. He missed countless opportunities because of this personality, but he did not regret it.

He is such a person!

Instead of having a difference in the future, it is better to make a decision on the same day. He believes that sincerity is the right way to solve many problems. He has become very calculating and a little cruel. He is no longer the ignorant he wanted to do business, but his attitude towards his friends has not changed, which has made everyone follow him.

Everyone feels that following him won’t be too much pressure.

Xiao Buyi knew that Yuchi Gong wanted to repay his kindness, so he asked him to find Liu Wuzhou. He knew that Hongfunu was pregnant, so he only told Li Jing that he had left Yang Guang. As for what Li Jing did, it was not what he insisted on. He knew that Li Yuan and Li Shimin were all right, but he still wanted to conquer the world with his own hands.

He has become more confident and more independent, but because the hardships over the past two years are unprecedented, and hardships undoubtedly make people mature faster.

If Wei Zheng didn't come to him, he felt that it was nothing, which only means that in Wei Zheng's eyes, he might be a friend, but he was not a person who could dominate the world. But when Wei Zheng came, it made him feel warm and friendly.

It should be his or his. He firmly believes that this day, his sincerity will not be in vain.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yuan Lan coughed, "Actually, this is the case..."

"Don't blame Mr. Yuan for this matter. He has taken good care of me. In fact, I am the one who makes my own decisions." Wei Zheng is such a person. He pointed out other people's mistakes mercilessly, and his own mistakes are not covered. "I followed Mr. Yuan's guidance and fled to Runan all the way. I couldn't wait for General Xiao. I thought I was fine when I was idle. I wanted to go out and find someone..."

Xiao Buyi smiled and took his hand and sat down, "Mr. Wei did something for me silently, which moved me so much."

Pei Bei whispered: "Is Mr. Wei looking for someone to join General Xiao in the righteous act?"

Everyone suddenly realized it, thinking that Xiao Buyi and Pei Bei were in the same mood. Wei Zheng had always been depressed and unsuccessful. However, as a secretary, there would be a few friends. Everyone knew that Wei Zheng had the talent to manage the military. He was a group of people, so he must have known him well.

Wei Zheng shook his head ashamed and said, "I think so, knowing that although General Xiao is quite capable now, it is always good for many people to think of ideas. General Xiao, you don't have to be moved, I didn't find that person!"

Everyone laughed kindly, and Xiao Buyi also laughed, "It's not important whether you find it or not, but I'm extremely happy to have this intention. It's not enough opportunity to find it, so it's better to look for it in the future. In any case, Mr. Wei is fine. By the way, I don't know who Mr. Wei is looking for?"

"His name is Du Ruhui. He is a few years younger than me. His grandfather Du Guo was appointed as the Minister of Works, and his father was also the Chief Secretary of the Chang Prefecture. However, because he was talented, he was not appreciated by the emperor, so he only became an alternate official. He was similar to me at that time. He met at that time. Later, I added a secretary and he added a Wei Yang. It was a brother and brother in trouble. General Xiao, don't look at his young official position, but if you talk about talent, he is far better than me."

Seeing Xiao Buyi's somewhat stunned expression, Wei Zheng asked in confusion: "Does General Xiao know this person?"

When Xiao Buyi saw everyone looking over, he shook his head and said, "I don't know each other, but I think the characters who all Mr. Wei admires must be extraordinary. It's a pity that they can't meet each other."

Although Xiao Buyi didn't know him, he certainly knew who Du Ruhui was. He was a famous minister in Zhenguan who was alongside Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. However, it seemed that he was the right time to come. The famous figures in later generations were all depressed and unsuccessful. Under Yang Guang's halo, they could not play their role.

Du Ruhui was not appreciated by Yang Guang because of his talent. It sounds like a joke, but now Xiao Buyi has long understood that this is really possible.

There are countless knowledgeable people in China, but when they meet emperors like Yang Guang, most of them keep a low profile. If they meet a recognized wise master, some are waiting for others to invite him, while others are proactively recommending themselves. Wei Zheng is grateful to Xiao Buyi for his kindness of knowing his favor. After escaping, the first thought that comes to mind is to win over useful talents for Xiao Buyi.

"Du Ruhui felt that the official position given by the emperor could not be fully understood, so he simply went home to live in vain. I went to find Du Ruhui, but unfortunately he was not here. After waiting for a few days, he still disappeared. He had no choice but to come to Xiangyang." Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "When I set out from Runan, Mr. Yuan was going to send someone to send me along the way, but I was not enjoying my life. Besides, I have been used to being alone for years, so I have been alone. He gave me a lot of money. It was a bit annoying to find Du Ruhui, but he didn't expect that this guy was not here, but the bad luck touched me.

!Along the way, I met two groups of bandits, one robbed my money from the land, the other robbed my clothes, and even my shoes. I went naked and cool down. Later, I saw a dead person on the side of the road, so I took off my clothes from him and buried him in the soil. I had something to hide from the shame and had a place to live. Although he was not very kind, he had no choice but to escape from the bandits. Later, I picked up another one and heard the bandits saying that General Xiao had entered Xiangyang, so I arrived all the way. Alas, the road was stumbled and there was no use for scholars."

Wei Zheng said it easily. But everyone knew that his journey was really thrilling.

Yuan Lan sighed, "That's what I'll give Mr. Wei the money I'll hurt you."

Wei Zheng laughed, "If it would be a harm to me if I would give money, then please ask Mr. Yuan to harm me a few more times."

Everyone laughed, but they didn't expect that Wei Zheng, who had always been serious, would be so funny.

When Wei Zheng saw everyone gathering, he asked softly: "I wonder what you are discussing. Do I have room for participation in my life?"

He was worried that he did not dare to truly gain the trust of Xiao Buyi and everyone. Compared with the people around Xiao Buyi, he was obviously the most qualified and did not seem to have any effect.

Wei Zheng is nearly forty so far and has never had any chance to show his feelings. He is depressed and unsuccessful, and he is inevitably straightforward and does not like anything. Many people do not like talent and do not meet him.

When I was in Yanshi, I felt uncomfortable when I saw Xiao Buyi being young and having a high-ranking official, and I was reluctant to express my feelings. I didn't expect that Xiao Buyi was not angry, but instead used him more. Wei Zheng did not say it on the surface, but was grateful for his kindness and did his best to do his job according to his duties.

During the march, he found that Xiao Buyi was easy-going, easy-going in small things, but never vague in big things, and strict in orders, and he was delighted.

He only thought that he would meet a confidant from now on. Only by hard work can he be able to get ahead. Unexpectedly, the situation quickly took a sharp turn. He faced an unprecedented choice, fled with Xiao Buyi, and continued to hang out in the Great Sui army.

After only a moment of consideration, Wei Zheng made a choice and continued to hang out with Xiao Buyi.

Since the Sui Dynasty was in full swing, Xiao Buyi should have prepared early. This person should seize the opportunity in the troubled times. Who wouldn't he be with him? Wei Zheng fled to Runan, and was shocked by Xiao Buyi's planners. He rushed to Xiangyang to express his sincerity, but he has never been taken seriously. Saying that he is useless is a scholar, which is self-deprecating and temptation. After all, in the troubled times, many scholars like him are despised.

Xiao Buyi said, "Mr. Wei is really too humble. We are all waiting for you, so why can't there be no room for participation? Except for Mr. Mr., most of them are martial artists. If you want to attack the city, you know nothing about defending the city. Although we occupy Xiangyang now, we are still confused about how to do it in the future. Please teach me how to do it."

Everyone said, "General Xiao said it well, I wonder what Mr. Wei plans for the future?"

Wei Zheng felt relieved when he saw everyone respecting him and said with a smile: "Actually, after hearing General Xiao captured Xiangyang, I thought along the way that General Xiao was very popular with the people and convinced the people. He should implement benevolent policies, store food, and make less enemies."

"We also know the general direction. How do we do it?" Pei Bei asked softly.

Wei Zheng pondered: "If there is chaos today, there are so many bandits in the ground along the way, even more than the people. Everyone is not engaged in production, and the people are in panic. If General Xiao can protect the peace of Xiangyang County, repel the invading enemies, and let the people concentrate on production, if there is another trouble in the future, there will be no worries."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "I think Xiangyang City is actually sufficiently stockpiled, but I ignore this point. In the short term, what Mr. Wei said is useless, but if the real battles are really fought for several years and people are tired of livelihood, I think what Mr. Wei said is a great achievement."

Everyone nodded, "Boss Xiao is talking very much."

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Your flattery is too obvious, please continue to talk."

Everyone laughed, and Wei Zheng was also laughing, and he was in a good mood. "I don't know much about how to fight, but if I talk about how to produce, I will still have a glimpse of the way. I also asked General Xiao to issue a decree to gather the exiled people around Xiangyang County to specialize in production. These things can be done by the county magistrate and a group of officials under him. Wei recommended himself and asked the prisoner to supervise the business."

"This is no problem, but it still needs to be refined. I wonder if Mr. Wei has a more detailed idea?"

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "The first thing is that General Xiao and the county magistrate ordered the people to provide land and oxen to give them the foundation for engaging in agricultural production. The harvest is divided by us and farmers according to proportions. The key to this is two decisions: one is the equal-field system and the other is the rental system, while the basis of the rental system is the equal-field system."

Zhou Muru finally said: "If this method is very good to promote, my father would benefit me at the beginning. I remember that Daye seven years ago. The Great Sui Dynasty had this system, but it was rarely implemented later."

Zhou Muru was originally a farmer and was not unfamiliar with these.

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Many laws are good and continuous progress, but the most important point is whether they can be implemented. Sometimes, those in power are always self-righteous and ignore people's livelihood. Although there are laws, they keep retreating. In fact, the equal-field system and the rent-in-law system I mentioned were implemented in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Dynasties were followed by various dynasties. They were changed intermittently. Emperor Wen was quite enlightened when he was still in the time of the time of the equal-field system, reducing the eternal-field land received by all officials and increasing the number of common people's farming fields. A man Ding received twenty acres of eternal-field land and eighty acres of exposing land, and the slaves were the same. This measure greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people to cultivate land. Emperor Wen then implemented the rent-in-law system to increase the number of labor service and reduce the time of labor service. Each person had to pay two stones of grain to the state every year, called rent.

The man who pays silk, cotton, cloth and hemp can be used as a prescription. The man who does not use the service can take silk instead of labor. It is also called mediocre. The combination of rent and mediocre adjustment can be used complementary. That is, more transfers can be exempted from rent, more labor and no rent and mediocre adjustment, and let the people choose. This can not only increase the country's great wealth, but also reduce the burden on the people. Emperor Wen took the equal land system as the basis and used rent and mediocre adjustment as a strategy for the founding of the country, so that the country can be rich and strong in the short period of time. Unfortunately, the emperor is now in a state of war and the equal land system is not implemented, which shocks the national treasury, the people are frightened, and the people are living in poverty. If I ask me to suggest, please ask General Xiao to implement these two good strategies, divide the land for the people to farm, and reduce the rent and mediocre adjustment in the first year to half to protect the people's lives. In the future, it can ensure peace and worry-free battles."

Zhou Muru was quite excited and felt that the regulations were quite good. Sun Shaofang and others were confused, not knowing whether it was right or wrong. They only knew how to receive imperial grain. But they thought that there were so many tricks here. Yuan Lan nodded repeatedly, thinking that the country was rich and the people were strong, and that no matter what they did, it was convenient. Wei Zheng really lived up to what Xiao Buyi wanted. He had the ability to govern the country. He was very good at speaking, but it was difficult to do everything in detail. He considered it.

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he took out a roll of paper from his arms and smiled and said, "This is my writing down the detailed implementation rules on the way to Xiangyang, and I would like to ask General Xiao to take a look."

Xiao Buyi slowly reached out to take it and saw that although the roll of paper was flat, the pages were pieced together, including black and white, and excellent rice paper. Some might be toilet paper. As for the handwriting on it, there were very few ink marks, most of which were written in charcoal, and they were silent for a long time.

Wei Zheng said ashamed: "I have no use for writing any of the things I think about, and I will record the things I find casually. Please don't blame me."

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, stood up long, and bowed to Wei Zheng deeply, "Mr. Wei is worried about the world and thinks about the people. He is in a dangerous situation and does not forget the people. I am here to serve the elders of Xiangyang. Thank you Mr. Wei. Let's go with you to find the governor of Dou County and discuss the plan to safeguard the people."

Dou Yi's copywriting is also full of books.

The breaking of Jindi Pass was shocked to him, which shows that the bandits' power had undergone a qualitative change, from a small fight to the point of threatening the Sui Dynasty. Xiao Buyi entered Xiangyang and was peaceful at the moment. Dou Yi did not regret his choice, but Dou Zhong was obviously different.

Dou Zhong was not in a hurry to return to Yiyang County. Although his property was in Yiyang, his antidote was not there.

Xu Shiji was cautious and knew that he would rather believe in ghosts than believe in the mouths of people like Dou Zhong.

Xiangyang is not determined, and Dou Yi is unstable, so of course this antidote cannot be given to Dou Zhong.

Compared with his life and family, he still chose his life. He thought that his choice was normal. He did not punish him for his own sake, but he did not understand Dou Yi's choice.

"Brother, why do you want to surrender to Xiao Buyi? The wanted official documents here are, why can't you suppress them?"

Dou Yi looked at him, "Fourth brother, why did you surrender to Xiao Buyi in the county? There is a wanted official document, and you caught Xiao Buyi?"

Dou Zhong swallowed his saliva and said with a smirk: "Brother, isn't I forced to do it? Xu Shiji took the poison for me and said that if I didn't take the antidote regularly, I would definitely die of poison within seven days. But you didn't drink the poison. I feel like you saw the clues when I called the city, but if you refuse to open the city, you can still resist with the city and Xiao Buyi."

"You may not regard me as your brother, but I cannot regard you as your brother." Dou Yi sighed softly, "If I don't open the city, you will be the first one to die."

Dou Zhong's face was like red cloth. After a while, he said: "Then please come up with a trick for me to get the antidote. I am in a panic all day long and may die of poison at any time."

Dou Yi looked up and down at his younger brother, "I think you are normal now. Poisoning means detoxification, and detoxification means poisoning."

Dou Zhong frowned and said, "How come you become like a bald donkey, full of mystery. Now..."

"What's wrong now?" Xiao Buyi's laughter came from outside the door, followed by Wei Zheng.

Dou Zhong was startled and turned his head to look over. He clicked. His neck was twisted so hard that he could not turn around. He grinned in pain, "My neck..."

Dou Yi quickly stood up, ignored his younger brother, and saluted Xiao Buyi first and said, "General Xiao, don't know what to do with me?"

The relationship between Xiao Buyi and Dou Yi is very delicate. Xiao Buyi is now in charge of Xiangyang City, but he still let Dou Yi be the governor of Xiangyang County, but he controls the soldiers of the foreign government completely. Xu Shiji calls himself Li Ji. He has courage, courage and loyalty. He has taken out a set in Wagang, and all the lieutenants are convinced. Xu Shiji's main purpose these days is to count the soldiers of the foreign government and to attract and support his own power. Even if Dou Yi wants to attack, he is powerless. At this time, the reputation that Xiao Buyi has finally had an effect, and Yuan Lan lets his subordinates fuel the fire. He makes people promote Xiao Buyi's benevolence and righteousness in the streets and alleys, and now he knows it even more, and he doesn't know that the earth's heart is born.

Looking forward to the people of Xiangyang now from eighty old men to eight-year-old children, they all know that General Xiao has come to Xiangyang City now, and the people are worried. Good guy, this general flattened Wagang, defeated Li Shanfei, defended the frontier, and defeated the Turks. He was invincible in battle and attacked! Such a person is still very kind and righteous in Xiangyang. The army entered the city without any offense. That is really God favored Xiangyang City. The streets and alleys are talking about Xiao Buyi. Even if he is loyal to the Sui Dynasty or has the intention to rebel, he dared to fly into the fire. Dou Yi cooperated with him and gave Xiao Buyi the greatest convenience in his actions. Now the two of them seem to be abnormally integrated at least.

Xiao Buyi first grabbed Dou Zhong's head, and Dou Zhong was shocked. He didn't dare to move at all, but just shouted, "General Xiao, I've been doing my best recently. Brother, save me!"

Xiao Buyi used his wrist to stumble and rubbed it. He had already twisted Dou Zhong's neck back, and Dou Zhong made a sound. Then he realized that his neck was moving freely again, and he couldn't help but feel surprised. "I didn't see that General Xiao has such a doctor's method. He is really a good minister and a miracle doctor who helps the world."

Xiao Buyi said lightly: "Actually, my trick is not a magic doctor's method. I hate blood. In the past, when I deal with disobedient people, I usually twisted my head with both hands, one to this side and the other to that side, just twisted it hard, and the person's neck bone was broken." When he spoke, he signaled Dou Zhong's head. Dou Yi was frightened and said hurriedly: "General Xiao, I am the most obedient."

Xiao Buyi nodded, put down his hand, and smiled and said, "By the way, Lord Dou, people are tired recently, I wonder what good plans are there for you?"

Dou Zhong burst into cold sweat and offered advice: "General Xiao, the troublemakers are not convinced, just fight more, and they can spit out everything."

Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at him coldly, Dou Zhong smiled, "I'm just throwing bricks and attracting jade, my elder brother must have a better way."

Dou Yiwei frowned, "Well, General Xiao, the people are actually at ease. It's just because bandits have been rampant recently, so the people are not willing to farm. If General Xiao is in Xiangyang and slows down his work, I suggest reissue the equalization order and then apply for rent and mediocre adjustments. It takes a year and a half to prepare, so that the general can worry about everything, but he just doesn't know..."

When he said this, he wanted to speak but stopped. He thought that Xiao Buyi had taken Xiangyang, but he was mostly ambitious and eager to expand. Although this suggestion was good, he would probably not obey it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Buyi said: "It seems that the heroes have similar views. Master Dou see if the implementation plan above is feasible."

He handed over the roll of things that seemed to be waste paper. Dou Yi took them in amazement, flipped them over twice, his eyes lit up, and continued to flip them gently. After looking for a long time, he put down the roll of paper and sighed: "General Xiao is indeed a talented person. He has a profound study of the two systems of the Great Sui Dynasty. If he can promulgate, the blessings of Xiangyang, the blessings of Jiangnan, and the blessings of the world! Dou thanked General Xiao on behalf of the people.

Xiao Buyi smiled and pulled Wei Zheng over, "I don't understand these. These are all thought by Mr. Wei Zheng. Since the county magistrate did not object, I asked the county magistrate Dou to lead the county magistrate and the assistance of Mr. Wei, and officially began to issue the equal-field order and rent-in-law regime in Xiangyang County to summon the scattered people. I wonder what the county magistrate wants?"

Dou Yi looked solemn and bowed long, "General Xiao is determined, and the people of Xiangyang are blessed. I will devote my efforts and do my best." Fang Shan.

Standing near the square mountain, the mountain breeze blows, Zhang Xutuo's face is even more sad.

He had been a while and looked a few years older. He was famous and intimidated the thieves, but he was not happy.

The moment he knew that Jindi Pass was captured by Wagang bandits, he was a little unbelievable, and he also had an unknown meaning. The bandits became stronger and stronger as the battle became stronger and tired, and the Sui army became more and more tired. He knew that he had no choice but to have no choice. He is now over fifty years old and knows his destiny, but in his heart, he doesn't even know his ending, so how can he know his destiny?
