Chapter 137 Missing old friends(1/2)
Cui Jishu frowned and looked haggard. He and his son were pushed into the tent one after another.
He raised his head and saw Liu Taozi sitting in the upper seat, and sighed sadly.
"Sit down."
Cui Jishu slowly sat aside, while Cui Gang stood behind him.
"I want you to do a favor."
Liu Taozi spoke, and Cui Jishu slowly raised his head. He narrowed his eyes. He was still analyzing Taozi's motives and origins. Maybe he would know the truth now, right?
Cui Jishu quickly recovered and once again put on his original scheming expression with a kind face, "Liu Jun, please tell me."
"You help me dismantle the Cui family and appease the place."
Cui Jishu opened his mouth subconsciously. He wanted to curse something, but his quality stopped him. His lips trembled, "When I came to you to discuss this matter, you refused and said no.
Listen, and now the two largest houses of the Cui family have been destroyed by you, and you can dispatch troops to destroy the rest at any time, but now you want to come to me for help? What on earth do you want to do? Why?!"
"If you help, I can forgive the other people named Cui. If you don't help, I will slaughter them later and leave no chickens or dogs behind."
Cui Jishu suddenly laughed bitterly, "I knew it would be like this."
"Whatever, whatever, what do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple. Count the money, grain and land of the remaining houses, distribute them to the people according to the system, then disperse them, destroy their forts, let them move to various places in Dingzhou, and are not allowed to return to Boling."
"This time the land granting will be carried out throughout the state. The governor does not have such talent. If others are unwilling to do it, Cui Gong can help."
Cui Jishu stroked his beard and was a little surprised, "Implementing it across the state? How brave."
He nodded, "That's right. In this way, the harvest of the whole state can be improved a lot this year. I remembered that King Changshan had mentioned many times before that he would control the farming of mulberry trees in Hebei to solve the problem of money and food shortage. Your
The idea coincides with that of King Changshan."
Cui Jishu said and looked at Liu Taozi again, trying to see some changes on his face.
But disappointingly, Liu Taozi's face remained unchanged. He looked at Cui Jishu calmly, "To do it or not to do it?"
"Do it, do it, of course do it. This thing is beneficial to the temple. The problem of money and food shortage is getting more and more serious. If it is not solved, there will be problems with military pay this year. Besides, Liu Jun has a knife in his hand. I
How dare you disobey?"
Cui Jishu said proudly: "Liu Jun is quite knowledgeable about people, and I am quite good at governing. If the land is granted to a county, it can be done by ordinary people. If the land is granted to a county, a wise man is needed."
People like me, if you want to grant land in this state right now, I have to be the one to do it!”
Cui Gang secretly glanced at his boastful father, and then slowly lowered his head.
Cui Jishu asked: "When will this matter start?"
"There's no rush yet. You can handle Anping's affairs now, and then extend it to the whole county, and then the whole state."
Cui Jishu nodded, "That's fine, but the evidence is conclusive that the second room is rebelling. As the second room, don't I have to act as a prisoner?"
"With Cui Ang in the temple, he won't be able to die, and I'm afraid you won't be able to die either."
Liu Taozi said gloomily, as if he felt sorry that these two people could not die.
Cui Jishu still failed to find out the information he wanted.
However, Liu Taozi had already stood up and motioned for the two of them to follow her.
The three of them just walked out. The school ground was still very lively. Even when they saw Liu Taozi, these people did not stop practicing. Looking at the knights practicing with all their strength, Cui Jishu was amazed. He glanced at Liu Taozi again.
The sword he is wearing, his expression is constantly changing.
Liu Taozi sent the two of them to the gate of the school ground.
"You can go back, I will send someone to contact you."
After Liu Taozi finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Cui Jishu stopped him.
"Liu Jun."
"I can do things for you, but there is one thing. I have to figure out which side Liu Jun is on? I have to know who I am following, right?"
After hearing Cui Jishu's words, Liu Taozi stood up. He looked into the distance for a moment, and then pointed in a direction.
"I'm from their side."
Cui Jishu looked in the direction he pointed. In the distance was a large muddy land, desolate and remote. There were two people, an old man and a young man, struggling to lead a donkey. The donkey's back was loaded with mountain goods. The two of them were heading towards the county town.
Moving forward, there were a few dead trees, standing alone in a few corners, with birds flying from the tops of the trees. There were several remains of carriages, which seemed to have been burned by someone, and they were completely black.
Cui Jishu looked at it for a long time before looking at Liu Taozi, hesitantly.
"Liu Jun. What's over there?"
"There are people over there that people like you can't see."
"Father!"
"Father?!"
Cui Gang drove the car and called Cui Jishu's name hurriedly.
Cui Jishu was sitting in the car, his eyes widened, and he began to murmur again, seeming to become more paranoid and crazy.
Cui Gang quickly stopped the car, opened the car curtain, and looked at his nagging father. Cui Gang couldn't help crying.
Originally, my father was worried about the affairs in the DPRK, and he was imprisoned these days. He couldn't eat well, didn't wear warm clothes, couldn't sleep well, and was frightened in various ways. Now he turned out to be like this.
"Father!!"
Cui Gang called again, and Cui Jishu suddenly woke up. He grabbed Cui Gang's hand, "Get in the car! Chase! Go to the city gate! Go to the city gate!!"
Cui Gang was at a loss, "Father, I'm going to find a doctor."
"I am the doctor! Listen to me! Drive me the car!!"
Cui Jishu gave the order hurriedly. Cui Gang did not dare to refuse, so he quickly jumped into the car and drove Cui Jishu towards the city gate. Cui Jishu poked his head out and looked at both sides with a nervous expression.
Finally, when he was about to reach the city gate, Cui Jishu hurriedly shouted: "Stop!!"
Cui Gang quickly stopped the car, and Cui Jishu jumped down from the carriage and rushed out quickly. His body was still very clear. Even after running like this, Cui Gang couldn't catch up.
He saw Cui Jishu rushing to the side of the road. The father and son were looking at him in horror. The man hugged the child with one hand and held the rein tightly with the other.
There were tears on the man's face, "Noble sir, I can't give you this donkey. Please."
Cui Jishu's eyes widened and he stared at them angrily, "Who are you?!"
The man shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, we are farmers in Anping. We have no food at home, so we went to get some mountain products in exchange for food."
Cui Jishu's face was ferocious and uncertain.
I don't know how long he stood there, but he suddenly put away all his anger and ferocity, his whole person became a little silent and reserved, and he put away all his emotions.
He got on the carriage, Cui Gang pulled him, and walked all the way towards his house. Neither father nor son spoke.
When the two came to a familiar house, they didn't know whether the slaves had escaped or were killed. The place was in chaos and no one could be found.
Cui Jishu and Cui Gang walked into the inner room.
Cui Jishu came to the leftmost corner of the inner room, bent down, knocked on the ground, then took out the dagger hanging on the wall, inserted the dagger into the ground, tilted it hard, and saw a wooden quilt.
He pushed it out.
The dust on the wooden board quickly fell, and Cui Jishu struggled to tear the board apart and threw it aside.
Cui Gang cautiously walked to his side and lowered his head to look.
Under the wooden board, there were actually shining gold jewelry.
Cui Gang was shocked. He looked in disbelief at his father, who had always demanded honesty and frugality from him.
Cui Jishu looked at the money blankly, and vaguely saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"Master Cui. Nowadays, there are many high-ranking officials and lawless people who prey on the people and do whatever they want. I cannot condone it. I know that you are upright and honest. I specially order you to impeach the lawless people and stop bribery. I, Xu Qing, can raise the issue at any time. I hope you can ask for orders for the people and uphold the principles.
Be straightforward and don’t be partial or concealed!!”
Cui Jishu's lips trembled. He looked again and saw that the young man had already disappeared.
The king who attacked the nobles has disappeared, and the upright and honest ministers have also disappeared.
Only in the soil in front of you, there is golden light shining, and the halo is twisted on it, showing charming colors.
"Cui Jun!!"
A group of people broke into the house and saw Cui Gang who was silently cleaning things. They couldn't help crying. They stepped forward and quickly surrounded Cui Gang.
"Is Mr. Cui okay?"
"Where is Mr. Cui?"
Everyone's faces were full of worry. Cui Gang looked very strange at the moment. In the past, he would have been extremely kind and enthusiastic to these tribesmen, but now, his response was very cold and dull. He saw that
He turned toward the inner room and said, "He's in the room."
These people didn't have time to think too much and rushed to the inner room.
