Zhao Yunchu rode his horse on the official road. He recalled that when he went out, he pulled Zhao Yundi's sleeve and thanked him movedly: "Third brother, thank you, I will not forget your goodness..."
Zhao Yundi sighed in the sky: "Don't say it, I feel like my leg is going to be broken again this time."
Zhao Yunchu was locked at home by Zhao Yuanyan and the princess, and could not go out. Thanks to Zhao Yundi's secret co-operation, he picked him up and took care of the formalities along the way.
Zhao Yunchu rushed to Yizhou, resting only for a short time every day, and finally arrived with Bai Yutang, who was going to Yizhou with a transfer order.
Bai Yutang has proved his identity, and he will reconcile with the prefecture and the military officer. He is asking about the local situation and thinking about how to rescue people smoothly.
The terrain on which the officers were stationed was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. I was afraid that one of them would be bad, and I would ask those officers to come and burn all the stones.
When Zhao Yun first arrived, he also claimed to be from Tokyo, but there was no order to make people think he was a fake, so he was surrounded at that time. Fortunately, Bai Yutang was on the side when he was reporting. He heard something was wrong, so he called to take a look, only to find out that it was Zhao Yunchu.
"Why are you here?" Bai Yutang thought about it, Zhao Yunchu didn't make any orders, and immediately said, "Are you leaving Beijing privately?"
Zhao Yunchu nodded silently.
When Zhao Yunchu wanted to leave the capital to go to Yizhou, he not only had to have the consent of his parents, but also the approval of the officials.
"I didn't expect you to have such courage, good! Let's come together!" Bai Yutang was originally from Jianghu, but he felt that Zhao Yunchu did a good job. Yun Yan is in trouble, and these friends are coming to help, let alone disobeying orders, even if the official is lost, it is worthwhile.
Bai Yutang hid it from Zhao Yunchu, and then discussed how to act together.
Because of the official's order, Zhizhou from Yizhou was also present. Although he didn't understand it, he listened carefully, for fear that no one would be able to save him and his official career would be over.
Zhizhou was also tired. When the imperial doctor came to report, he was a little anxious. At that time, he only knew that Zhou Huilin's father was a high-ranking official.
Who knows that someone else will soon come with the emperor's life. Only at this time did Zhizhou know that Zhou Huilin's identity is not only important among the people who were kidnapped. There is another named Yun Yanhui. It is difficult to describe the imperial doctor Wang, but although this person is only a minor official, he is the confidant of Bao Xianggong and the favorite minister of the official family.
This frightened Zhizhou. Such a bad thing happened in his jurisdiction. Now that people are rescued, and then they are severely disciplined, it can only be said that it is a remedy. I wonder if they will settle accounts in the autumn.
Zhizhou wished he could come up with a great idea to save people and make up for his faults.
So with the sincere cooperation of everyone, a consensus was reached. It's best to send someone to contact them first, and use money to replace them first. You have to make up a better excuse. Don't let these people know the identities of Zhou Huilin and Yun Yanhui. .
Be sure to wait until everyone is safe before attacking and teach these fellows a lesson.
There was a discussion here, and suddenly someone came to report, and found that a large number of Tu people appeared outside Yizhou City with weapons, looking like they were going to have something to do.
Everyone was startled, and they were thinking about how to rescue people quietly, and then taught them a lesson, there is actually going to be something going on there
Ask again, let go of half of your heart. Those Tu people were not Liao people, but Miao people from Guizhou.
But Zhizhou couldn't help but jumped into a rage: "What happened to the people in Guizhou, so many Miao people acted under their noses like this, and when they reached the boundary of Yizhou, I didn't know until they went outside the city! What do these people think? What are you doing?!"
It stands to reason that the Miao people all surrendered, but due to the perennial instability in the Guangnan area, Zhizhou was very unsure of this, and worried that the Miao people would turn against them again. At this time, it was really worse.
The army was afraid that the Miao people would enter the city and harass the people, so they hurriedly stopped them. The other party saw that they were aggressive, and they also took a stance...
Just as this was about to break out, the two sides communicated before the battle, and the misunderstanding was resolved.
Allies!
The news quickly spread to both sides of the formation. Although the language was incomprehensible, because they had the same goal, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Zhao Yunchu couldn't wait to know, why would the Miao people know that Yun Yanhui was arrested
Zhizhou was also very surprised. You must know that with the tough temper of the Miao people, this is really not easy.
At the beginning, the Shi family and the Guizhou government were very unreasonable. In the weak situation, they dared to fight for their lost son. If it hadn't been for the little tiger to be found later, I would have dared to die endlessly.
When Zhizhou knew that the confidant of Bao Xianggong who was tied up the mountain was the same person who rescued Shi Meilan's son, he was relieved.
No wonder Shi Meilanken worked so hard. Miao people are very affectionate, Yun Yan rescued her son, of course she wants to help.
But the question returned to the original point, how did Shi Meilan know
The two sides joined forces, and Shi Meilan said with a puzzled look: "Zhufeng didn't try to report to you? Oh yes, it's not easy for the officials to go to the government."
"What? Liaoman?" Shi Meilan's words made everyone confused.
"Yeah." Shi Meilan brought over the staff member who reported the letter. He had already been bewitched by her. Even if he wasn't bound, he was honest.
The messenger shivered and told the truth about their situation on the mountain. After Yun Yanhui rubbed off the gag cloth, and when he came down the mountain, Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin had already lived in a separate room...
Everyone: "..."
They are here to make up for Yun Yanhui to be tortured miserably by his colleagues, but they didn't expect that they are actually very happy... Can you say that he is worthy of being Yan Ge'er? In fact, it should be the kidnappers who should be worried!
Zhao Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "Alright..."
Although Brother Yan was fine, he didn't regret escaping from Beijing. Until then, who can be sure of the situation. Although Brother Yan was stable enough, he couldn't help but worry.
The arrival of Shi Meilan, and the news she brought, solved the biggest problem. First of all, it was confirmed that Yun Yanhui was in a good situation, and secondly, they didn't have to worry about how to redeem Yun Yanhui - Yun Yanhui had already negotiated it above!
It was really the best choice for him to ask the Miao people for help. If the counterparty of the negotiation is the government, no matter how good the reason is, the officials will doubt it.
Originally, Bai Yutang wanted to find out the terrain, and secretly went up the mountain by himself, to restrain the leader of the staff, and to capture the thief first and the king.
…
When Shi Meilan, Zhao Yunchu and the others met and prepared to act, Yun Yanhui had been on the mountain for more than half a month.
In the past half a month, Yun Yanhui has almost become the most popular person in the stockade.
Zhou Huilin's injury was also healed. Yun Yan would give him some meat from time to time to replenish his body. He couldn't do anything if he wanted to exercise, and he didn't have to work. He had a ruddy complexion, and he estimated that he might have gained a few pounds.
Yun Yanhui, on the other hand, deals with the colleagues in the stockade every day, and learns their language, so he is very busy.
He taught the people in the stockade how to cook, and he also cared about the agricultural life here.
Gradually, Yun Yanhui completely regarded the days of living in the mountains as a field trip. These colleagues who tied Yun Yanhui, in his eyes, are a group of inspection objects and materials.
Among the Tu people in Guangnan, they are very representative. By observing them, we can grasp the living conditions of various Tu people in Guangnan.
The implementation of the chieftain system in Guangnan was actually reminded by Yun Yanhui. Later, he has been more concerned about the policy here. The imperial court hoped to sinicize the Tu people and promote the Han culture, and also planned to recruit the Tu people as officials in the future. It is also important to make real changes to their daily lives. At this point, the policy is far from complete.
Yun Yan returned to strolling in the stockade, chatting with his colleagues, and getting to know the situation.
The leader originally thought that Yun Yan Hui had a bad intentions and wanted to torture him if he wanted to do something in the future.
As a result, Yunyan replied righteously and said: "In the future, our chieftain wants to lead everyone to develop together, I just want to help my brothers. I found that this mountain field is relatively barren and the food harvest is not high, so everyone is always hungry. , go down the mountain to 'hunt'. However, this situation is not impossible to change. We Miao people are farming, and now we will first spread grass seed fertilizer, which is a natural fertilizer, which can increase grain production. "
The official name of the grass is Ziyunying, also known as safflower. It is a good green manure and is also cold-resistant. It grows very well on the mountain, and it can grow well by itself, and you don't need to worry about it. It can also be used to feed livestock, which is very convenient.
Not to mention now, it is still used by many mountain people in China thousands of years later. Moreover, in those days, it had another use besides fertilizing fields. That is to attract tourists to watch every time when the large expanse of Astragalus is in full bloom.
The truth of what Yun Yanhui said was actually half and half. He saw Ziyunying in Miao Village, and saw that people only knew that it could feed cattle and horses, and did not specifically plant it.
Because Yun Da had just passed away, Yun Yanhui did not talk to Shi Meilan enthusiastically about this, but only mentioned that he could collect more grass seeds and spread them in the fields to fertilize the fields.
Shi Meilan agreed, but the time was so short, of course, unlike what Yun Yanhui said, it seemed to have become a routine.
But the information is not developed at this time, who knows what is going on in other people's nests. The leader was startled and a little convinced, after all, the Miao people are now richer than them, but he wondered why Yun Yanhui would tell him such an important thing.
That grass has grown on many hillsides, and it has never been poisoned by humans and animals for so many years. Instead, it can be used as medicine. But Fei Tian, but no one has confirmed it. He can't guarantee that people and animals will not die if they eat it, and whether it will increase or decrease production if they are planted in the ground.
Yun Yanhui saw the leader's suspicion and didn't care, smiled and continued: "I see that there are very few cattle in the stockade, and each one is thinner than the other..."
"No matter how thin you are, you can't eat!" The leader shouted in a hurry.
This guy, since he was in the stockade, has no idea how many livestock he has killed. In the beginning, I asked for it from him. Later, it is said that he used his name to swindle in the stockade... It can't be said to swindle, just claiming to borrow it, and it will be doubled.
There is an example of the leader, and Yun Yanhui is always boasting about their Miao village. Everyone knows that Shi Meilan is with the Han people, so of course they believe it.
It wasn't the first time that Yun Yanhui wanted to eat this beef. Now that he mentioned farming cattle, the first thought of the leader was that he was thinking about his own farming cattle. So much has been said before, it really is just a pretense.
Yunyan replied innocently: "What to eat or not to eat, I mean, there are not enough cattle, and everyone is always unable to finish the farm work. Can you try to buy new farm tools. The Han emperor has recently introduced a new farm tool, We have already started using it in our stockade. It can not only plough muddy soil, but also drive mountains. It is called a plough, and you can use your feet to step the plowshare into the ground. It looks like this…”
Yun Yan returned to the leader to show the shape of the plough, and the expert looked at the doorway. When the leader saw this, he felt that it was more reliable and more maneuverable than that kind of grass.
This is of course, the imperial court has a department specializing in research and improvement of agricultural tools, but all the implementations have gone through countless designs and attempts. Stepping on the plow, I don't know how many poor people it has benefited.
The leader was moved, "You have already started using it? How is the situation?"
This is true. The imperial court introduced new farm tools, and because of the good relationship between Miao villages, they had already tried them out. Other Tu people have a bad relationship with the government, and even if the court asks them to use it, they will not accept it.
The communication between the two sides is not good at all, the degree of sinicization is not high, and the decree cannot be implemented.
Yunyan replied, "With a plough, one person can plough five or six points of land a day, more than four inches deep!"
Relying on manpower, can you cultivate five or six points of land in one day? !
"Scare!" The leader rubbed his hands together, "Where is this government office, do you think you can grab it?"
Yunyan has returned to the black line, so why use robbing everything, "No need to rob, you can get the plough ahead of time, and return the government grain after the harvest, it is not expensive. Or rent it - of course, it is better to belong to your own family. Good deal."
The leader didn't agree with the fact that he had to use it for a fee, so he wanted to grab it directly.
Yun Yanhui felt that it was impossible to talk to him now, and he didn't persuade him anymore. Anyway, after he got out of trouble, who would call the shots among the staff...
…
When the messenger came back, he also brought two Miao people. They led horses and brought a lot of supplies to redeem Yunyanhui and Zhou Huilin.
Knowing that Yun Yanhui ate a lot of food here, when he wanted to return double the amount, he didn't say a word, and took the equivalent of Han Chinese copper coins to repay.
Because these days, in addition to stepping on the plow and grass, Yun Yanhui also gave a lot of good ideas to the stockade, many of which were immediately confirmed to be correct, and everyone's goodwill towards him increased greatly.
The leader was also quite moved. He had the idea of staying on the line and seeing each other in the future, so instead of taking the opportunity to extort him again, he wanted to personally send Yunyan back to them down the mountain.
"It would be great if you were from our stockade!" the leader sighed, "If you hadn't already married, I would have married my daughter to you. I have never seen a person like you among the cat people, but not among the Han people. I can't find it there!"
The leader did not know Chinese, otherwise he would praise Yunyan and repay his grievances with virtue.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the leader and Yunyan waved goodbye and agreed to keep in touch in the future.
Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin went out for a while. When the leader watched them off, he suddenly found that a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared from under the surrounding trees, in the mountain forest, and in the stone ditch in the distance.
Moreover, there were Han people and Miao people, and they drowned Yun Yanhui and Zhou Huilin at once.
Naturally, the weapons of these people did not return to Yun Yan, but to the side of the staff.
The leader was frightened and wanted to escape, but he felt his body softened and did not obey. At the same time, a familiar woman among the Miao people stood out from the crowd and sneered a few times at him.
In fact, in the face of so many people, the leader may not be able to escape far if he wants to escape, not to mention now, after seeing the person in front of him, he knows that he must have been poisoned.
"Shi Meilan... You..." the leader said angrily, "You actually took the opportunity to collude with the Han people to drive out all of our staff?"
This was the only reason he could think of, to say that Shi Meilan was angry because he tied up the people in their stockade.
He was certain that Shi Meilan was either trying to please the Han people or taking the opportunity to control his colleagues.
The leader was poisoned by the Miao people, and it was difficult to move. The Liaoning group had no leader, and there were traitors. The Han and Miao troops were numerous. With the poisonous Gu brought by Shi Meilan, the other captives can also be unharmed.
To tell the truth, with the scale of these people, using so many people is a bull's knife to kill a chicken. A considerable part of the people inside are still Miao people who are familiar with the mountains and forests... I am afraid that the people in the stockade would never have imagined that they would face such a situation.
Shi Meilan sneered: "People are poorer and places are poorer, who cares about you?"
The leader glared at her: "That is, the Han people are looking for you to partner, and you can't get rid of it!"
"Don't say that, what's wrong with Tusi Shi, you obviously killed yourself..." The leader saw that "Shi Shan" actually came out of the Han camp, and his jaw almost fell.
Yun Yanhui smiled in front of the leader's worsening face: "Silly brother, I lied to you before."
Leader: "..."
Yun Yan returned to Shi Shiran and said, "If you hadn't tied up our imperial officials, how could you have made such a big battle? But don't worry, the roles of Tali and Zi Yunying are true. Yes, there are really such good things. The other methods are also true, and I have to write a book to implement them all over Guangnan."
"But as for you, you may not have the chance to experience it. Exile? Not good, this place is the most remote and the environment is the worst. Well, let's go directly to Guizhou next door to dig stones and do reform through labor... "
