199. Yiwu County Magistrate Chen Dacheng [1/3]

199, Yiwu County Magistrate Chen Dacheng [1/3]

Yi Yun was stunned by the little girl. Chen Yuanyuan felt funny and scolded: "Young Master, how unreasonable you have made her little sister funny."

She saw that the little girl was wearing could not even cover her chest, and there were holes everywhere. She couldn't help but open the package, took out a change of clothes for her own clothes, and covered the little girl. The clothes were not a silk colored silk dress in the Qinhuai River style, but a relatively ordinary blue cloth dress. Of course, the quality of the fabric was also top-notch. It looked a bit big on the little girl, and the sleeves were long.

She hugged the little girl in her arms, slowly rolled up her sleeves, and found another belt to help the little girl tie her waist so that her wide clothes would not look too fluttering.

Seeing her meticulous and gentle movements, Yi Yun's impression of her changed a little: this woman is quite gentle and kind.

The big sand truck slowly entered Yiwu Oasis. This oasis is not far from the foot of Babao Mountain, next to it is a bare stone mountain. As the little girl said, the land of this oasis is extremely barren, and the soil is only a very thin layer. There are no other plants on the ground except for some weeds and moss. Trees can be seen in other oasis, but there is not a single tree here, and the entire oasis looks like there is no green.

There was a large group of people guarding the gate of the oasis, holding various simple weapons in their hands, and there were two or three officers and soldiers on the city wall. However, they did not care about these people holding weapons, and seemed to be commonplace with such situations.

Before Yi Yun's big sand truck approached, the people guarding the gate became nervous, and someone shouted: "Whose big sand truck is that?"

"The people who drove the car and escort seemed to be officers and soldiers wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers."

"That's definitely not the salt merchant Shi Wenliu?"

Yi Yun smiled and said to the little girl: "Get out of the car quickly and help me open the way."

The little girl nodded obediently: "I have collected your money and can't cheat you, I will lead the way." She jumped out of the big sand cart and shouted: "The one in the car is not Shi Wenliu, but Brother Long Caotian. He is here to meet the county magistrate."

"Long Caotian?" The stupid name made the people stunned. However, they saw that the cart was led by a local girl and knew that it would not be an enemy, so they made it open to the oasis and let the sand cart enter the city.

This city is not small. Although the land is barren, there are more than 40,000 households, connected by roofs and tiles, occupying a huge area, which vaguely surrounds the entire Babao Mountain in the middle. Yi Yun looked left and right and really couldn't find the fields. He only saw a shallow small lake in the middle of the city, and a spring could clearly see water coming out of the lake. That place was probably where corks were excavated...

The county government office is by the lake, which is very broken and looks far less glamorous than Jiashan County. Yi Yun said in his heart: Fortunately, my fiefdom is not here, otherwise I would have really cheated.

After entering the county government office and informing him of his name, a middle-aged scholar came out of the yamen. Yi Yun looked carefully. The man was wearing the official uniform of a seventh-rank county magistrate, but his official uniform was a little broken. He had several patches on it. His face was clear and generous. He looked pretty good: "Secretary Chen Dacheng, why did Mr. Long Caotian come to my county town?"

Chen Dacheng was actually looking at Yi Yun. When he saw Yi Yun wearing a young master's robe, a bird cage with his left hand and a fan with his right hand, his first impression was really not good. He looked like a playboy. A beautiful woman stood next to her. Although this beauty looked as gentle as water, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling like a spring breeze boat, her eyes were lively. She looked smart and smart. This kind of woman was mostly a woman on the Qinhuai River...

Yi Yun hugged his fists and laughed: "Long Caotian's name is just a joke with the villagers. He doesn't want to expose his true identity in public. In fact, I am Prince Jiashan and Zhu Yun."

"Is it a prince?" Chen Dacheng was shocked. He was a seventh-rank county magistrate, but his identity was far inferior to the prince. The prince of Dameng Kingdom had a very high status and was known as "the best emperor". No one except the emperor could be better than the prince. Chen Dacheng looked at Yi Yun carefully, which was not like a fake. He saw that there were ten officers and soldiers around him, which seemed to be fake. He quickly dusted his official uniform and planned to give a big gift.

"Okay, no need to polite!" Yi Yun laughed and said, "We are a casual prince and don't like to pay attention to etiquette."

"What are the princesses who are planning to do here?" Chen Dacheng was a little confused. How could this poor countryside and ruined land, how could he recruit a prince? Could it be... not good! Chen Cheng felt cold in his heart. Could this prince be targeted by Babao Yinshan? But the output of this Yinshan can only barely make the people of Yiwu live, and I dare not and cannot afford to exploit them a cent of money. If this prince had the idea of ​​getting to Yinshan... For the people of Yiwu, I could only fight with him.

Yi Yun saw Chen Dacheng's eyes turn from initial surprise to faint hostility. He didn't know what happened. He shook his fan and smiled, "I came to Yiwu because I wanted to spend the money on him." After that, he reached into his arms, took out a few silver notes, put them in Chen Cheng's hand, and smiled, "There are 200,000 taels of silver here, I plan to use them all in Yiwu."

"What?" Chen Dacheng was really shocked. He had just been holding it up and collapsed with a "slap". He took three steps in a row and said blankly: "Are you here to spend money? Not here to grab money?"

"I'm dizzy, what's the point of shaving in this poor place?" Yi Yun khan: "Hey, be more reliable, why should I come here to shave money?"

Chen Dacheng was sweating: "I have seen many royal relatives, one can save money more than the other. No, this is not a problem for royal relatives. Dameng Kingdom has become ill and blind, and most of the officials are experts in scavenging money... A playboy prince like you, who comes to our remote place, what else can you do besides scavenging money?"

"Empiricalism kills people!" Yi Yun shook his head and said, "I don't care whether others scratch it or not. Anyway, I came here to spend money."

Chen Dachengqi said: "How should the prince spend money when he comes here?"

Yi Yun smiled and said, "Recruiting troops!"

"Scared?" Chen Dacheng was sweating profusely.

"Although Yiwu County is small, there are more than 40,000 families. How can we get out thousands of second-level soldiers? First-level militias can also get out one or two thousand people? I plan to spend all the 200,000 taels of silver bills and recruit as many soldiers as I can, and get them back to be my personal guards in the royal palace." Yi Yun smiled and said, "Please please help me issue an announcement to recruit soldiers."

Chen Dacheng looked suspicious, shook his head a few steps, "No, I won't help you."

"Damn, why?" Yi Yun was furious.

Chen Dacheng said seriously: "I have witnessed countless corrupt officials and playboys since I was a child. These people don't do serious things all day long, and they know how to harm the people. You must be unhappy when you come to Yiwu to recruit soldiers. Are you planning to use Yiwu to help you harm the people in other places? We Yiwu people will never help you! The people here will never cheat others."

Chen Dacheng was excited and shouted, "I also heard that the court often deducted military pay, and the owed wages did not be paid for several years often, which caused many military households in various places to flee. These deserters were even sentenced. It was too much. We Yiwu people are not that easy to deceive, so we will definitely not be fooled by you."

"I'm dizzy, I'm not such a person!" Yi Yun knelt.

Chen Dacheng became more and more excited as he spoke: "How did I know you are not such a person?" He suddenly shouted to the outside: "I passed my order. If a prince comes to Yiwu to recruit soldiers, all Yiwu people are not allowed to join the army. Even if I, Chen Dacheng, was executed for being disrespectful to the royal relatives, the Yiwu people must not join the army."

I was so shocked that this guy not only didn’t help me, but he did it worse. Yi Yun was shocked.

Chen Dacheng shouted out, and several yamen runners in front of the yamen immediately started shouting loudly and reposted his words to the people on the nearby streets. When these people heard that it was Chen Dacheng's order, they immediately wandered around the city and started shouting everywhere. Chen Da became an honest official. After Ren Yiwu County Magistrate cared for the people and never embezzled a piece of money. He was the parents of the people. His order was really effective. Even if he was killed, the influence he left was enough to prevent the Yiwu people from joining the army.

The little girl who led Yi Yun into the city and said that he and Chen Yuanyuan were good people also turned against Chen Dacheng at this time and shouted: "The county magistrate said you are bad people. I don't want your money anymore, and I will give you the clothes." She actually reached out to take off her clothes...

Now it’s a big trouble! Yi Yun’s head hurts, why did I get so mean?

"Tsk, if I don't ask me to recruit soldiers, I won't recruit them anymore. Who is happy to ask for soldiers here?" Yi Yun also got angry and pulled Chen Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Let's go, let's recruit soldiers in another place. Tell me where are there poor mountains and rivers nearby, and are rich in troubled people?"

Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were wide open, as if she had something to say, but as soon as Yi Yun held her hand, she immediately lowered her head obediently and walked out of the yamen next to Yi Yun. Until she walked far away, she whispered: "Prince, I can't say it just now, there is no one else to say it. There is really no poverty in the Jiangnan area, and it is the poorest and most evil here..."

"I care about him. Since the people here do not cooperate, the forced melon is not sweet. At worst, I can recruit soldiers from Sichuan." Yi Yun spread his hands.

The two had to board the big sand truck and drove towards the city gate under the escort of ten soldiers.

When he arrived at the city gate, Yi Yun was about to say "Dou Bean Bow" to Yiwu Oasis when he suddenly saw a group of people running over the mountain road ahead, one by one, and he was bleeding. It was obvious that he had a fierce fight. The group of people blocked his group on the mountain road at the beginning. The young man who was leading the manure slashing shouted: "Shi Wenliu is here, bringing more than 5,000 people to grab the mine. Everyone is ready to fight!"
