C192 (2/2)
”Oh …” Can you tell me who is inviting the price hike? ” Yang Lin was a little confused, he did not expect the increase in the price of the grains to be a joint operation.
”Of course you can, he is Liu Can from the Wealthy Class. He sent his hanger-ons around to invite them all to follow suit. ” Lu Jie cupped his hands at Yang Lingong and said with certainty.
”Oh …” ”So that's how it is!” Yang Lin nodded his head thoughtfully. Seems like it was all because of Liu Can, he smiled towards Lu Jie: ”Master Lu, from what you see, does this Liu Can want to earn more money or have some other motive?”
”This …” Lu Jie hesitated for a while, and said as if he made a big decision: ”Lord General, that Liu Can is a large family in Guangyang City, and has always been good to the government. But hearing that the new Guang Yang Tai Shou Jiang Li did not visit him, he had the intention to make things difficult for Jiang Li. ”
”Oh …” It's that simple? ” Yang Lin shook his head in disbelief. Seeing that Lu Jie could not answer her question, he did not pursue the matter any further, and remembered something else, ”Master Lu, have you seen the land tax collection order and the County Magistrate's History employment order that was just announced?
”Reporting to the Lord General, I have already seen it.” Lu Jie laughed, and cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong: ”To be honest, Lord General, even though I have tens of thousands of mu of land, I am still far from those Wealthy soldiers. According to the lord's decree, we are now all County Magistrate's History, why not? I've decided to give the land to my sons and let them do it themselves. I'm ready to rest. ”
”Hehe …” ”You're still young, how can you rest?” Yang Lin laughed, and felt that this Lu Jie was not bad.
”Sixty. Time to rest.” Lu Jie shook his head and laughed to himself: ”Lord General, this kind of family, even if they say they are big, they are not small either. There are only three hundred or so tenants, and they can't afford to raise many servants. With the Lord General's cavalry, we'll be much safer. So, I am prepared to donate two hundred thousand kilograms of food to cavalry of Youzhou to express my intentions. ”
”Thank you so much, Master Lu.” Yang Lin laughed happily, he suddenly thought of an idea and said to Lu Jie: ”Master Lu, cavalry of Youzhou is able to pacify Wu Huan, it's a low and fresh rebellion, and indeed needs a large amount of rations. Someone has invited you not to sell food, can you make a public initiative to call upon all the squire and Scholars to donate food for the cavalry of Youzhou, and encourage them to pacify the rebellion of Urushion and fresh inferior! ”
Lu Jie hesitated for a moment, but still nodded his head and said: ”Alright, I can join hands with a few countryside gentry and Scholars and we can all make an open initiative, and call for everyone to donate food to cavalry of Youzhou. As for the specific amount, it will be 10% per mu of land. ” Although snowflakes started to fall again, Ge Wuka still brought the remaining two thousand men to leave the Upper Valley City, and went to the grasslands to look for the other Wuhuan Tribe members. He was now the Lord Wu Huan, and this was bestowed upon him by the rider general's advisor, the Zhang Banxian.
However, no one in the Urushion dared to underestimate this official's position. The Urushion s who wanted to challenge Ge Wuka's authority immediately shut their mouths, this was, after all, a reward bestowed by the government. Even Ge Wuka was very pleased, he had already led his cavalry on his way that afternoon. Of course, their women, children, cattle and sheep were all kept in Upper Valley County. For their safety, the Military Advisor had allowed them to live in the Upper Valley City.
At dusk, they found a tribe called the Urushion deep within a vast prairie. However, before they could even enter the tribe, the tribe Outpost who acted as guards stopped them and sent a few of them back to report.
Not long later, the leader of the tribe, Wu Qike, and his subordinates arrived. This was the tradition of the nomadic peoples. No matter if they were enemies or friends, they were all soldiers. Because they lacked the most basic sense of security, their enemies and friends were constantly changing.
”Oh …” So it's Young Master Ge Wuka! ”
”Wu Qike, listen carefully. Young Master Ge Wuka has already been conferred the title of Upper Valley County by the Han Dynasty's carriage general, you still haven't dismounted from your horse and kowtowed! ”
The rider beside Ge Wuka raised his head and asked arrogantly. On one hand, they were harassing the Han Chinese nonstop, and on the other hand, they were extremely envious of the Han Dynasty's rewards. Even the Zhang Banxian gave them, the Lord Wu Huan, endless joy.
Wu Qike was a man who was around 40 years old. He had a tall and sturdy stature and great strength. Of course he knew the young master of the old Lord Wu Huan, but he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. But now that he was at Lord Wu Huan, he had no choice but to dismount and kowtow to Ge Wuka.
