Chapter 405: Palace of Three Guards
Chapter 405 The Three Guards of the Palace
From his cautious actions, Chu Nanzhi realized that this kid now felt that he and Lin Jinxiao had become the prince and concubine, and he felt humbled in his heart, so he said angrily, "It's almost dark, and we will meet again when we go on the mountain road." No matter what the danger, you can stay here with everyone today, rest for one night and go back tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter, Princess Zhi."
Ma Laifu smiled stubbornly with a stiff face: "Now there are civilians and sea defense battalion sergeants stationed in the mountains, so there is no danger."
"Laifu, you don't have to have such a relationship with me. The little treasures like you very much. Don't let them feel cold. Since I recognize you as my younger brother, I treat you as my younger brother. This will always be true." It won't change either."
Chu Nanzhi didn't want this silly boy to stick to his original promise and trap himself in the mountains as a hunter for the rest of his life, so he took the opportunity to enlighten him again:
"Now that your brother-in-law is already practicing officialdom in Duanlong Mountain, you don't need to drive away the ferocious birds and beasts in the mountain. Although you come from a poor family, it's not that you don't have talents and learning. You should think more about your own affairs, so that you don't feel like you've failed. Thanks to your uncle for your upbringing."
Lin Jinxiao also opened his heart and said: "Listen to your elder sister Zhi, don't put yourself in prison, you can make Zhu Xiancheng look at you differently, it shows that you are not an ordinary person, a good man should aim everywhere."
Hearing this, Ma Laifu couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
He came from the Chu family, and heard Liu Yun tell a lot about him along the way.
For the sake of sister Zhi, he pointed his sword at the elders of the Lin family, offended the Chang family, and forcibly tied himself to the Chu family for the rest of his life through a marriage contract.
"I appreciate the kindness of elder sister Zhi and brother-in-law. You don't have to worry about my younger brother. My brother-in-law built official roads in Duanlong Mountain for the people of the counties, and issued an order to equalize the land for the benefit of the people. Although I don't have the skills of my brother-in-law, but I also want to use my own ability to do my best to lead the hunters to drive away wolves and beasts, so that the passing merchants will be less dangerous."
Ma Laifu smiled calmly.
"Well, that's fine."
Seeing that he was determined to do so, Lin Jinxiao no longer forced himself, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and asked the fishermen who were still cleaning up the fish: "How is everyone's harvest this year, maybe we can make it to the New Year's Eve?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. Now Peng Dianshi has officially taken over as the magistrate of Haikang County. He has distributed disaster relief silver and rice to each family. We can last for a while."
After the villagers of Sunjia Village finished speaking, they looked at Chu Nanzhi in distress: "This year's fish, I'm afraid they can only be made into dry goods and sold at a low price."
"Don't worry about this matter. The road to Duanlong Mountain is much easier than before, and it's not too far from Luyan Port. You can bring live fish to Luyan Port to sell. As for the fish fry I want, I'll wait for you. When it rains, I will send someone to pick it up immediately."
Speaking, Chu Nanzhi took out two hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Ma Laifu, exhorting:
"I'll pay for all the fish fry and the silver that I caught today. Laifu, you are responsible for distributing it to everyone. The rest will go out and buy more dry food to eat on the way. You can also tell your uncle when you go back. Let him try to transport the fish goods to the north, even if the dry goods reach the north, they can be sold at a better price than in the counties of Pinning State."
After thinking for a while, she added: "I'll think of some ways to see if I can make the live fish live longer on the boat. Right now, the Donghua River area has been cleared. You can go up the river and then turn to Jinglu." The canal goes all the way north, which is much less risky than going out to sea."
When the fishermen heard this, they were all moved and knelt down and said: "In this way, I will thank the princess for her kindness."
Lin Jinxiao felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and felt that he had married a good woman in this life. She not only had foresight in every way, but also knew how to be considerate of the people. With such a good wife by her side, there was no need to worry about governing the state.
He also exhorted everyone emotionally: "Go back to the county and go farming and fishing. If you encounter difficulties, go to the county magistrate Peng. If he can't solve it, you can directly report to the state government. I will see you in a few days." A policy order was issued to give you the privilege to report to the higher level, and to set up a special office to accept the grievances of civil cases reported from various places."
These words not only shocked the fishermen of Haikang County, but also Chu Nanzhi.
Leapfrog petitioning was not an easy task in her era, let alone this era of strict feudal ethics.
It makes people angry to think of those officials in Haikang County who specialize in concealing their ignorance. Although Lin Jinxiao's move may not completely eliminate the low-level officials' style of deception, it can be regarded as a bold appeal to the common people. channels.
After Lin Jinxiao explained everything, he ordered the guards to prepare a lot of torches for the fishermen to use on their way.
After sending away Ma Laifu and the fishermen of Haikang County, Chu Nanzhi gave the Zhang family and the villagers of Tong'an Village a half-day vacation, telling them to go home quickly and pay back the rent owed to the Qi family before returning to work in the restaurant tomorrow.
It was already evening, and the setting sun on the horizon reflected on the water, creating golden ripples.
Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao strolled hand in hand by the pond, admiring the surrounding scenery. The quadruplets kept frolicking around them. This kind of pleasant time made Chu Nanzhi feel extremely comforted.
If you put aside the bad things about Jingling City and the Posthouse, this kind of life is really satisfying.
Although it's a bit boring, I can always find some ways to have fun.
When a person has a spiritual support, even the boring days can become interesting.
It's just that if you don't think about those bad things, you are destined to be unavoidable. The high place is very cold, and the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. As a criminal policeman who has been in the police force for many years, she knows it best, and she has to think about these things.
Lin Jinxiao looked at her gloomy expression, but he didn't know if it was because of Ma Laifu or the post house.
He stopped suddenly, and first told Sang Qi to take the little treasures to the side to play, and then looked at Chu Nanzhi's gentle smile and said: "What's the matter, why are you suddenly unhappy again?"
"Not really."
Chu Nanzhi slowly shook her head: "Lin Dalang, have you ever thought that although the imperial court appointed you as the governor of the state, it made Tang Yao's son the governor of the state, and did not allow you to take over the military power of the state like last time?" , Tang Ru is the queen mother's son-in-law, the captain's son-in-law, and his heart must be for the queen mother's party, if it is time to use troops, it may be difficult to get things done with the palace's personal guards alone."
"No problem."
Lin Jinxiao did not take it seriously and said: "Although he is the governor of the state, he can't control the military power of the state capital alone without the order of me, the governor."
After thinking for a while, he smiled evilly, "Sanlang and You'an have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion this time, and when the defense of Haining County is a little bit more secure, I will arrange them all into the Dudu's Mansion. "
"I think Li Sanmu is a shrewd person."
Chu Nanzhi reminded.
"Indeed, this kid will judge the situation, and it is a bit of a waste of talent to stay in the county government."
Lin Jinxiao nodded understandingly: "Chen Chuan and the Haiphong Battalion will be included in the personal guards of the Royal Palace in the future. To defend Luyan Port and the coastal defenses of the counties, new candidates need to be appointed. Let Li Sanmu take over the new Haiphong Battalion. "
"Well, this can only be limited to the Tang Confucian Dudufu."
Chu Nanzhi's clear eyes suddenly revealed a hint of deepness: "But you still have to have an army that you can deploy yourself. The guards brought by the Haifang Battalion and Yin Jiaerlang are only 3,000 people, and even one guard The number of people is not enough, according to the ancestral system, foreign princes can set up three guards."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao immediately interrupted her words: "You cannot set up three guards. If you set up three guards, you will definitely attract the suspicion of the court. I feel that I, Lin Jinxiao, want to support the army and respect myself. I am afraid that even the commander-in-chief will The government will also take more precautions against me."
