Hou Dayong judged that the woman was an assassin and the thief would not steal things with a sword. Hou Dayong didn't know what kind of way this woman was. He assassinated many times, leaving too many mystery to Hou Dayong. Hou Dayong wanted to capture this woman alive and check it out. Defense was not a solution after all, and it was difficult for people to guard against hidden arrows. It was inevitable that a hundred secrets would be misleading.

The woman came to the study from outside. The light outside was brighter than that in the room. She didn't see anyone sitting in the darkness, and she was listening attentively to the door. Hou Dayong stood up slowly and moved gently to the door. The woman heard footsteps outside the door, opened the study door, and peeped out. When the woman was about to walk out, she heard a slight sound from behind. The woman reacted very quickly, and she didn't turn around and stabbed her back. Hou Dayong was rushing forward, and the woman's sword had stabbed. Hou Dayong's body dodged for a moment, without changing the attacking movement. The woman's sword stabbed against her body. The woman stabbed the sky with a sword and quickly changed her move, but Hou Dayong was approaching and threw the woman to the ground with a move "hugging her neck and not having her feet".

After the woman fell to the ground, a "ding bell" sounded and the short sword fell to the ground. Hou Dayong and the woman were entangled together, grabbed the woman's hands with both hands, and pressed the woman to the ground. The woman hit Hou Dayong with her knees. Hou Dayong did not expect that the woman was so fast that she was pushed into the lower abdomen.

Hou Dayong felt pain, but he never let go. He pressed the woman's feet with his feet, pressed the woman's hands with both hands, and pressed her whole body against the woman, so that she could not move. The woman resisted desperately, but was forced to hold her strong Hou Dayong firmly, unable to move, and could not use her unique skills. Hou Dayong's abdomen was pushed hard by the woman, knowing that the woman was flexible and tricky, and did not dare to be careless, so she pressed the woman to assassinate. The woman resisted desperately at the beginning, but after many tug-of-war, she was pressed tighter and tighter by Hou Dayong.

After a brief and intense close-fitting fight, the woman was already in a mess and sweat was soaked on her forehead.

There was no light in the study, and the two could not see each other's appearance clearly, but both sides were face-to-face, close to each other's body, and they could spray on each other's face. Hou Dayong smelled a faint fragrance of flowers on the woman.

The two of them fought for a while. Hou Dayong was 1.82 meters tall and weighed nearly 75 kilograms. He insisted on training for a long time and was very physically strong. Although the woman was very skilled in martial arts, she could not perform under such circumstances.

The woman was not as strong as the other party, and was pressed under her body and could not break free. She simply stopped resisting and waited for the opportunity.

Seeing that the woman stopped resisting, Hou Dayong said, "Who are you?"

Because the weather was hot, Hou Dayong was covered in sweat, and the sweat dripped down his cheeks one by one, just dripping on the woman's neck. The woman had never had such an intimate contact with any man, and her whole body was pressed down, especially her chest was constantly squeezed by Hou Dayong, and she felt an indescribable feeling, and there seemed to be a heat flow in her lower abdomen. In order to prevent the woman from attacking her legs, Hou Dayong pressed her legs hard. The woman twisted and twisted just now, and her firm and round body directly stimulated Hou Dayong's sensitive parts, making Hou Dayong feel.

The woman felt something pressing against her lower abdomen, and suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and anxious, "You, you, I'm going to kill you."

"Who are you and what are you doing here? I won't say I'm going to call someone. When someone comes, this posture is not good-looking." Hou Dayong was anxious to know who was going to kill him, so he threatened the woman.

"Don't call anyone, I'm." The woman whispered more and more.

Hou Dayong subconsciously lowered his head and listened. The woman suddenly exerted force and hit Hou Dayong's face with her head, which was right in the middle of her nose. This was lightning-rushing, and it was heavy and cruel. Hou Dayong's eyes were filled with stars and blood was flowing. The woman took the opportunity to break free from her right hand, aimed at Hou Dayong's face, and hit Hou Dayong's left eye hard. Hou Dayong was scattered again. The woman took advantage of Hou Dayong's pain and took a light breath, and pushed Hou Dayong violently. Hou Dayong felt a powerful force coming and was forced to let go of the woman. When she let go, Hou Dayong accidentally reached out and grabbed it and pulled off a piece of cloth.

The woman did not get entangled with Hou Dayong and quickly left the door. Seeing that the woman was missing after she went out, Hou Dayong wanted to capture the woman alive, but found out the truth about being assassinated many times recently. Unexpectedly, she was trapped and not only allowed the woman to escape, but also suffered heavy blows. The last palm that the woman pushed away was really amazing, not as strong as a woman could send. Hou Dayong secretly called unlucky, and she was really unable to steal a handful of rice. She had to call people in disappointment. When the guard heard the scream, he hurried to the study room. After lighting the oil lamp, he saw Hou Dayong's face was bloody. He heard that there was an assassin. He was shocked and searched everywhere in the yard, but there was no trace of the woman.

Hou Dayong picked up the short sword that the woman fell to the ground. The short sword was extremely ordinary, and the sword had two words "Qingye." Hou Dayong felt the fuss: "Qingye is either the name of a woman or the name of a sword-casting craftsman, but it is mostly the name of that woman."

Chunlan, Qiuju knew there was an assassin. After Hou Dayong came back with blood on his face, he quickly took a towel to wash Hou Dayong. Hou Dayong handed the cloth to Qiuju and said, "This is taken from the assassin. See if there is anything special." Qiuju looked at Chunlan and handed it to Chunlan. Qiuju said, "This is a woman's strapless breast, how could it fall off." The two women looked at Hou Dayong with strange eyes. Hou Dayong hurriedly said, "Catch it in the dark, how could I know what I caught." Hou Dayong was aroused by the woman. When Chunlan changed his clothes stained by nosebleed for him, Hou Dayong hugged Chunlan's waist.

The next day, Hou Dayong appeared in the yamen, and his image of a blue nose and swollen face made people laugh, but no one dared to laugh.

Liang Shouheng had been waiting for a long time. Liang Shouheng said: "After the scale of the blacksmith shop was reduced, the 100 refugees recruited before were good enough to use half of them. The others were only to pay some severance payments and let them leave. Can this be done?" Hou Dayong pondered: "Is there any wasteland in Zhengzhou that can accommodate refugees? How many refugees have not been settled?" "This year, Zhengzhou has set up a porridge farm, and there are a lot of refugees coming, and many refugees have found their livelihoods in the blacksmith shop. After the news came out, now the refugees who are wandering nearby are still going to Zhengzhou." "First of all, the refugees distributed in the blacksmith shop are solved. These people were originally a bit of food, but they have settled down. Now they have nothing to do and want to become refugees. They are inevitably unhappy and are most likely to cause trouble. I saw that there are a lot of wastelands to the north of Zhengzhou to the south bank of the Yellow River. Can the wasteland be distributed to these refugees?"

Hou Dayong arrived in Zhengzhou, and the short-stricken Zhengzhou finance made Hou Dayong very bored. At that time, the Great Zhou implemented the two tax laws implemented from the middle of the Tang Dynasty: the central government set the total tax amount based on fiscal expenditure, and local governments collected it from the local people according to the amount allocated by the central government; local people and foreign households were allocated to the household registration of the current prefecture and county, and the households were set to leave the household according to the amount (mainly land). The tax amount was divided according to the area of ​​land reclamation and the households; each year, the summer and autumn

The two taxes were collected, and the summer tax was settled in June and the autumn tax was settled in November, so it was called "two taxes" (there is also a saying that it was divided into household tax and local tax); the two taxes were paid according to household taxes and other areas, and nano millet was based on the area of ​​the land reclamation. Hou Dayong asked refugees to reclaim wasteland, which can effectively solve the current refugee problem, and on the other hand, it can also enhance Zhengzhou's financial resources. Of course, there are many details here, but after the general direction was determined, Liang Shouheng dealt with the details.

"Some wastelands have a main land, and there are no seeds and farm tools. Now I missed the season again. Even if I handed over the wastelands to them, I can't cultivate them."

"Then, first measure the total amount of wasteland. Distribute wasteland to refugees according to the following principle: all the wasteland without a master is given to refugees; if the wasteland with a master has been desolate for more than five years, it will be used as a landless land for refugees; if the wasteland has been desolate for three to five years, the master will return one-third of the master; if the wasteland has been desolate for less than three years, the master will return half of it. As for the farm tools and seeds, beg for alms from the wealthy households to see how much it can be melted, and then find a way for the rest."

After Hou Dayong set the principles, Liang Shouheng was neat and ordered all counties to measure the wastelands quickly. Each county had a booklet, and more than ten days later, all the wastelands in Zhengzhou were counted. Later, Liang Shouheng found a wealthy man from Zhengzhou and told everyone what Hou Dayong meant, and said: "Anyone who donated agricultural tools and seeds carved his name on a stone tablet and stood outside the yamen to commend him." Although the wealthy man felt very distressed, the defense commander still had some words, so he accepted the donation.

For the gap, Hou Dayong asked the government to advance some of the farm tools, and the government can borrow some of the farm tools from the Fujia iron shop and send them to the refugees. The grain will be collected next year and returned to the government and the Fujia iron shop. In this way, the necessary farm tools and seeds will be finally solved. However, the refugees have not harvested this year, and it will be a long time to survive until the grain will be harvested next year. Some necessary food must be prepared for the refugees to ensure basic living, so that they can finally settle down.

A lot of military rations were used when the porridge scene was opened, so they could not be used more. After privately liberating the military rations, some impeachment complaints were sent to Chai Rong. After Chai Rong asked about the situation, he did not blame Hou Dayong and kept the impeachment complaints for the first time. Hou Dayong had no better idea about how to raise food. Suddenly, he thought that there were many temples in Zhengzhou and the temples had a lot of land and said, "Can you ask for some food from the temple?"

Liang Shouheng was a little embarrassed: "There is food in the temple, but there is no such example."

"Buddhism takes compassion as its own heart, and it is natural to use food to help victims. Which temple in Zhengzhou is the largest and has the most land."

"Kaiyuan Temple has the most products and the incense is extremely popular."

"Kaiyuan Temple is the temple where monks hang the orders. Okay, start collecting grain from Kaiyuan Temple."

"The abbot is a famous iron rooster. It is afraid it will be difficult to get food from him."

"Kaiyuan Temple has treacherous slander. This matter has not yet been broken. I am not afraid that he will not interfere with him." Hou Dayong is a modern soldier and does not believe in Buddhism. The impression left on him by Wanshou Temple was too bad, so he had no good feelings for the temple, so he asked Liang Shouheng to invite the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple to the yamen.

The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple did not know what the defense envoy sold in the gourd, so when he arrived at the yamen, he said, "Amitabha, what instructions does the defense envoy ask Lao Na to come?" Hou Dayong was cold and said, "Kaiyuan Temple hides thieves and intends to assassinate me. Today, please ask the abbot to find out why the thieves live in Kaiyuan Temple."

The abbot of Kaiyuan Temple is profound in Buddhism and is highly respected on weekdays. After becoming the abbot, no one spoke to him like this and said, "Lao Na has told the police about all the information he knows, and there is no hidden at all. Why do you still have this question?"

"It's important, I'm going to ask the abbot in person today."

Seeing that Hou Dayong was unreasonable, the abbot was angry, but he had to talk about his relationship with the monk Limijiao, saying that he was not aware of his behavior. The monk was just living in the temple temporarily.

After listening to the abbot's speech, Hou Dayong smiled and said, "I know that monks don't talk. Come and give good tea to the abbot." Hou Dayong chatted with the abbot for a while and said, "Northern refugees have come to Zhengzhou now. Zhengzhou has been opening a porridge site for liberation of the army, but there is not much military ration. Kaiyuan Temple produces a lot of food. Can some food be distributed to help refugees? The Buddha has the virtue of being a good person. The abbot will definitely support it." Then, Hou Dayong explained in detail the plan for how to resettle refugees to the abbot.

The abbot only realized the real purpose of Hou Dayong's invitation to him. Just now, he was just a cover to pursue the monk and said, "Although Kaiyuan Temple has a little thin field, there are many alms on weekdays and no accumulations, so I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."

Seeing that the abbot was silent, Hou Dayong said, "The Buddha cut his flesh and feeds the eagle and sacrificed his life to become a Buddha. Why can't you Buddhist children give out some food to help the victims? Is it because you are in the temple and your heart is outside the temple? If you don't have food, you may not be able to leave the yamen today. I want to check carefully what the thief monk has to do with you."

Buddhism enjoyed a very high social status during the Five Dynasties. The abbot had never encountered such a naked threat. Hearing Hou Dayong scolding the thief monk in front of him, he was both angry and surprised, but when he met such a fool, he had no choice but to do anything. The abbot said: "Ten stones of grain come out of Kaiyuan Temple."

"Two hundred stones cannot be less than this number."

"The entire temple is less than 100 stones."

"Okay, I'll send the soldiers to search the temple, leave a hundred stones for the temple, and take the rest."

Seeing that Hou Dayong made up his mind to get grain from the temple, the abbot said, "It can be at most one hundred stones."

Hou Dayong refused to rely on it, and the two bargained and reached an agreement of 150 stones for Kaiyuan Temple. The abbot was from Zhengzhou. He was from a poor family when he was young and often had no meals. He had a similar paranoid desire for food and money. Although he was abbot in Kaiyuan Temple, he had no worries about food and clothing, he still liked to save money and food. Now he was forced to hand over 150 stones of food. He was extremely heartbroken. When he left the yamen, he felt that Hou Dayong had a bruised nose and swollen face was really hateful.

After Kaiyuan Temple released the grain, Hou Dayong asked people to beg for alms in several other temples. In the end, nearly 800 stones of grain were raised, and finally the food problem of refugees was temporarily solved.

When the refugees were assigned food, agricultural tools, seeds and land, they gathered outside the yamen and insisted on seeing the defensive envoy. When Hou Dayong came out, all the refugees present knelt down to thank him. And this scene was all seen by the uninvited guests last night.
