Chapter 242: Is the world changing? Or is the Xiren stupid?

Tuyezhuo has been here for so long, and after saying so much about the truth and falsehood, he finally got to the point. After hearing that he finally said this, Tang Cheng, who put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, walked to Tuyezhuo and sat down, and looked at him with a smile and said, "During the term of office of this official, I will not guide Tiancheng's army into the Longmen Grassland. From then on, as long as you can pay taxes according to the court's constitution, the current management method will remain unchanged, and you will still be led by the Xi people to rule the grassland. In this way, will Tuye patriarch still be satisfied?"

"Oh, County Magistrate Tang is so generous!"

"Yes, I am indeed generous," Tang Chengshen sighed a long time ago, and the finger of his left hand knocked on the table between the two people, "I am the king's land under the sky. It is natural for me to guard the Longmen on behalf of the emperor and lead the people in the general, but now he has handed over the power of governing the lower half of the people to the clan leader, why isn't he generous?"

"The Tang County Magistrate is worthy of being a Jinshi, and he speaks lotus." At this moment of substantial conditions exchange, the previous clumsy trick of being furious after a disagreement is really inappropriate. Tu Yezhuo naturally would not do such a thing. However, although he was not angry, the sarcasm in his words was obviously much stronger. "Maybe I should remind you that what you just promised was already enjoyed by our clan. The Tang County Magistrate used the things that our clan already had for relief, food and grass, manpower was accumulating strength, and even taxes later. It would be too insincere to calculate this way."

Tang Cheng did not confront him, "Why did the patriarch Ruoye really have this idea? Why did you come to the county town against the wind and cold? Why do you have to say so much nonsense in this county?" He raised his hand to the desk and shook it gently, "It's not kind to say this now. You should have everything you have before, either in the court system or in the law. In short, what you have before is illegal is illegal. It's just because the former county magistrates did not take care of the governance of the government, and come to this county..." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled and looked at Tu Yezhuo and stopped talking.

Tang Cheng's words were very scoundrels, at least to Tu Yezhuo, but his scoundrels took over the big name, and there was no argument at all. Tu Yezhuo didn't want to argue with him. "The Tang County Magistrate wants to use people this time. No matter how much manpower is needed to accumulate strength, my tribe will accept it. Moreover, this time, my tribe will not take a grain of relief for the county government. But in terms of taxation, I hope that the Tang County Magistrate can still follow the old examples." After saying this, Tu Yezhuo also smiled, which was a very confident smile. "As for whether it is autonomous or not, my tribe doesn't care much about this. If the county magistrate doesn't bother, I will come to manage it myself."

"No", Tang Cheng would not give in at all when it comes to this specific benefit, and the last sentence of Tu Yezhuo was directly ignored by him, "Work-for-relief is the general constitution of our yamen. Anyone who comes to work in Longmen County will have food relief. Tang people treats everyone equally. You should not be grateful for the emperor's kindness and compassion for the loyalty of the court, but it is not that the county does not give it. This disaster relief is treated equally, and how can we pay taxes? The patriarch can do not provide food relief, but the official

As the emperor of a county, he has no right to pay taxes. There is a world of difference between the two, and it cannot be confused. As for the governance of Longmen Grassland, the patriarch feels complicated, but his official responsibilities cannot be shirked. It is not to be concealed. This is what he is thinking about every day in Japan. I firmly believe that all the people of the grassland can understand the great power, and can really do something to kill the officials and rebel?” When he said this last sentence, Tang Cheng laughed and deliberately diluted the strong bloody smell.

After waiting quietly for a while, seeing that Tu Yezhuo didn't say anything, Tang Chengfu knocked his fingers on the desk again and said, "Or there is another way. The leader of the Tu Ye clan can submit a request to the court to return to Rao Lexi's tribe. After leaving Longmen's jurisdiction, nothing will be a problem."

Hearing this, Tu Yezhuo suddenly turned his head and stared at Tang Cheng tightly.

"I know that the Tuye clan leader is reluctant to let go." Tang Cheng put away all his previous official accent and smile, and said in a clear voice in response to Tuyezhuo's eyes: "In just a few decades, the Xi people in Longmen have grown from less than 3,000 to more than 20,000 today. The tribe is prosperous and wealth is accumulated. This development speed is many times faster than that of the Raole clan. The root cause is that the clan leader should know better than me. Once he returns to the Raole Xi tribe, he will not only have to contribute cattle, sheep, wealth and goods to King Xi's tent that are far better than the taxes of the state dynasty, but also have to face annexation and fighting within the tribe. Although the ethnic group of more than 20,000 people is indeed not small, it is placed in Raole.

What is the prairie? With a group of more than 20,000 people, it can still protect the Longmen Grassland that everyone covets? And once the Longmen Grassland, the window for Raole to contact the outside world, how can the Tuye clan leader get trade and profit? Therefore, for the Longmen Xi people, the identity directly under the jurisdiction of the court is the real greatest wealth. This identity not only guarantees security, but also guarantees a steady stream of wealth. Once it is lost, everything that the Longmen Xi people will be lost. Over the years, the Longmen Xi people have gained so many benefits from the court and the county government. Isn’t it too much for me to pay taxes if you want to pay the taxes?”

Tang Cheng was almost always singing a one-man show during this period, but it was not until he opened the most important trump card that Tu Yezhuo let out a deep sigh in his heart.

When Tang Cheng leaned against the Tiancheng Bian Army with up to 8,000 people and clearly understood the lifeline of the Xi people in Longmen, Tu Yezhuo had no other choice at all.

"Okay, everything will be done as the magistrate of Tang County said." After a long silence, Tu Yezhuo finally spoke, "However, this is just a personal agreement between our clan and you. Once you leave your post, today's agreement will naturally be invalid. The magistrate of Tang County should pray to the Wolf God not to lose his official position."

"I never believe in the wolf god, but the leader of Tuye wants to think about how to explain to the governor Niu. I believe that what you and I have agreed today is not something that the envoy is willing to hear."

"It turns out that he is a smart person. What Niu Zude wants to hear the most now is the news of the chaos in our clan. He then intervened with the situation. By then, the Longmen County Magistrate should change people."

It was really surprising to say such words from Tu Yezhuo, and Tang Cheng was no exception, but although he was surprised, he was not surprised, "Oh, since there is such a good opportunity, why don't the Tu Ye patriarch give it a try?"

"I also want to do this if thirty or fifty people die, why should I do this trip and get humiliated? Unfortunately, your hands are too ruthless." Tu Yezhuo looked at Tang Cheng and shook his head, "I really want to do this and I don't know how many tribesmen will take to kill the grasslands if I want to do this. Of course Niu Zude doesn't care, but I, the leader of the tribe, cannot help but feel sorry for it. It's just a deal. Since we can talk about why we must bleed?"

"Well said," Tang Cheng laughed, "But there is no way to say this in front of Governor Niu. How is the patriarch going to explain?"

"Why do we need to explain? It is so easy to let the Xi people in Longmen return to Rao Lezhen? I can give up the people under the rule, and the court, who is respectful to the face, do such a thing? Since Niu Zude cannot do this and has no Tiancheng Army to rely on, why should this clan explain to him?" In such naked interest negotiations, the picture is straightforward and terrifying, "It's just a transaction, and in this transaction, Niu Zude needs his clan even more."

Tang Cheng understood the meaning of his words. Longmen Xi did have an advantage in the trade exchanges between them. Because of the huge differences in productivity and trade development levels, Longmen Xi had many channels to obtain Tang goods. However, if he lost the Longmen Grassland channel, it would be much more difficult for Niu Zude to successfully obtain bulk cheap northern goods. The advantage of Longmen Xi people is based on this uneven level of trade development, and this is the root cause of Tuyezhuo's daring to ignore Niu Zude so much at critical moments.

It's really funny to think about it. Tu Yezhuo doesn't care about the governor of Guizhou, but he has to accept the conditions of the county magistrate under Guizhou. The only difference is that the eight thousand days of army formation is formed.

This is the basis for him to speak to Tu Yezhuo like he did just now. It is the ability to be a real Longmen County Magistrate, and it is also the only thing Tu Yezhuo is afraid of.

Without the eight thousand days of army, he would have nothing in Longmen. He would not even see the map like the previous county magistrates, let alone let him come to the door on his own initiative. This was something that the Longmen County Office had never dared to think about in the past.

In the final analysis, it is just one sentence: everything he had in Longmen was based on an alliance with Tiancheng Army, which was the most correct thing he had done since he took office. The most wonderful thing was that Hebei Road and Youzhou Grand Governor's Office had a military and political separation. As long as there was enough interests to tie it up, even his immediate boss Niu Zude could not destroy this alliance with the border military system.

Benefits, bondage! Tang Cheng made up his mind. The faster the Tiancheng Army should promote the land cultivation, the better. Only when the land cultivation is faster, the more the bondage of this kind of interests will be deeper.

When Tu Yezhuo left, Tang Cheng did not send him far away. As soon as he left the office, Tu Yezhuo and his men, Kuduo and others, were wrapped in a whirlpool that could cover most of their faces, leaving silently all the way.

As soon as Tuyezhuo left, Yang Jiao and the other two were around Tang Cheng, they surrounded him. Qian Sanchuang, who was closest to him, took the lead in asking, "Sir, what is he here to do?"

Tang Cheng did not directly answer Qian Sancca's question, but looked at Yang Jiao, "We originally agreed to allocate the large animals recruited from the Tang people to Tiancheng's army. We can't let Jia Duwei transfer the army and horses to pull the cart. It's not easy to worry too much about these people's relief grain. Both sides will pay half of each. As for the animal power required by the headquarters, it is changed to recruit from the grassland."

"Recruitment from the grassland?" Even though Yang Jiao was very dedicated, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "How do they calculate the distribution of their relief grain?"

"This winter's drought is severe, and Tu Yezhuo is sympathetic to our corps' difficulties and resolutely give up the relief of grain, so Mr. Yang can be assured to recruit the food. These people only work and don't have food."

Hearing this, Qian Sanchuang's eyes suddenly became as big as a cow's eyes. Jia Xu felt a clang in his head, as if he was hit hard by someone with a big hammer. Is it because the world has changed or the Xi people are stupid? It is enough that the county master can mobilize them to work. It is still a waste of food to do it?

Before Jia Xu woke up, Tang Cheng's bigger hammer was immediately smashed. "Jia Lushi, I'll leave this document to you. After you finish these things at hand, I will supervise the Hucai to sort out the rent and tax amounts that the Xi people in the county should pay into a book as soon as possible. This is a complicated matter, it's better to start early, so as not to be unable to use it next year."

"Sir, Xi Manzi... really... really want to pay taxes?" In so shocked, Qian Sanca, who stared at him like a copper bell, stuttered.

Tang Cheng pursed the smile patterns that were almost overflowing from the corner of his lips, and asked in a serious tone with a look of surprise: "The Xi people are also a commoner in Longmen. Isn't it natural to pay taxes? Sanscar's problem is really strange."

I asked strangely. Qian Sancca looked at Tang Cheng blankly. This time, not only did his eyes widen, but his mouth was also forgotten to close.

"Okay", Yang Jiao reacted the fastest among the three. His laughter also woke up the dazed Qian Sansca and Jia Xu, who were stunned. "Tu Yezhuo is so generous, and the harvest must be indispensable. I wonder what Mingfu has promised him?"

His question also made Jia Xu and Qian Sancca feel enlightened. Yes, Xi Manzi is greedy. Since he can pay such a large amount of money and even pay taxes this time, how many benefits do he have to collect before he can be willing to accept it?

"In the end, my official's responsibilities will never guide the Tiancheng army and will never step into the Longmen Grassland. In addition, grassland affairs will still be governed by the Xi people according to the old rules. Apart from tax collection and adjustment, the county government will not intervene." Tang Cheng sighed, "Manpower is sometimes poor, but in the end, the county government government has too weak strength, so that's all!"

That's all... it's all! Qian Sancca couldn't describe his feelings. Tianchengjun could really kill the Longmen grassland at will. As for the autonomy of the Xi people, it's even more unresolved. Those barbarians lived in tents and chased water plants, and they didn't even have a fixed residence all year round. How could they manage the law if they asked the county government to manage it? Even with such a trick of the county government, people could not control it. Not to mention Longmen, what is the court's office for the governor of Raole and the Songmo governor of the Khitans, and the Bohai governor of the Wei people, who were all allowed to cook by themselves?

What is the difference between these two conditions and not agreeing? The county magistrate exchanged for the many real benefits of fooling three-year-old baby with such a condition, but it was "only this". This is too greedy.

Just then, he heard the ringing of the scattered yamen bells outside. Tang Cheng was thinking about the raw chicken soup that Zheng Lingyi repeatedly explained when he was in the yamen at noon. At present, there was no urgent official business at hand, so he stopped leaving. "I know everything. If you have something to do, be busy. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest. I am really tired these days." After saying that, he waved his hands to the three of them and walked to the yamen first.

When he left, Jia Xu and Qian Sancao were left to look at me and I would look at you again. Then the two of them turned over to look at Yang Jiao at the same time.

"When the best comes, there will be blessings in the land of suffering. The people of the Tang people in Longmen have experienced many years of hardship and finally waited for this blessing in Tang Ming Mansion. The reincarnation of heaven is unhappy after all." Looking at Tang Cheng's back, Yang Jiao smiled and shook his head, "If it weren't for what he saw in person, I really don't believe that a person of this age can do such a thing. Let's do it with all my heart. At least I have to see where I can go."

After Yang Jiao said this, he specifically explained to Qian Sancca, "You are responsible for the contact between Tianchengjun. You must be careful and careful in this matter. You must never make any mistakes." After emphasizing, he did not explain much, and then took a leisurely step.

"Boss, what does Mr. Yang mean?"

"You and I are just working on business, why do you think so much?" Jia Xu slapped Qian Sanca, who was confused on his face, "It's right to follow Tang County Zun, you just need to remember this."

Because of the strong county magistrate's guidance and the establishment of a new political style in the Longmen County Government. In addition, the time was particularly busy, the civil servants in the East Courtyard gradually developed a new habit. Although the Shangyao was no longer late, they did not rush to leave when the bell rang. They had to stay and wait for a while before leaving, so as not to have any emergency official duties, and today is no exception.

After Jia Xu walked into the office of Cao's house in the East Courtyard, he did not go to the Cao Jushi. He came to the desk of a civil servant, "I planned a Ximin recruitment notice."

There are so many things like writing pronunciations during this period. The clerk has long been accustomed to it. When he took the bamboo paper and was about to write it, he suddenly looked up and asked in a confused look, "Who did the recording master just say that this pronunciation was written to?"

"Xi Min", just these two words immediately made the slightest fall in this open office room. Whether it was busy or idle, the civil servants stared at each other without exception, with a look of a ghost on their faces besides being confused.

The performances of these civil servants gave Jia Xu a great comfort in his heart. "The Xi people on the Longmen Grassland don't know, why are they stunned?"

"Yes", the clerk who had woken up agreed and looked at Jia Xu's face. He wanted to see if the recording officer was joking with him.

I sent a press release to the Xi people! Faced with such unprecedented things, apart from joking, this poor civil servant really couldn't find a better explanation...

Just when it was about to dark that night, Jia Gongmaster who went to the prefecture yamen to submit the documents for relief came back and brought back the news that the relief grain was about to be shipped. It was also on this night that the first 1,100 members of the Tiancheng Army, who were thinking about his family's Tiantu, rushed to Longmen County.
