Chapter 915 Official Document
Old Lord Tang gave Wei Zhi a sympathetic look, then bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, Magistrate Tang of Huayang County has discovered a farm in Qingshi County, Suizhou, called Dongxi Farm. There are a large number of tenant farmers there, but only young and strong men are found, not the elderly, children, women, or children."
The emperor sat up slightly and asked, "How many people are there?"
"It's difficult to investigate. They are very wary of people passing by. County Magistrate Tang's men can't get in."
The emperor lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "I'll send someone to investigate this matter. Tell Tang Zhihe not to investigate any further."
Old Master Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
He was also afraid that his son would make the mess too big and it would leak accidentally.
Wei Zhi originally wanted to say something to the emperor, but when he heard this matter come up, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. At this moment, nothing was as important as this matter.
Judging from what they have found out so far, the King of Yizhou has at least 50,000 people under his control.
With 50,000 soldiers and horses, even if he cannot rebel against the capital, if he starts a rebellion, who knows how many people will die.
In comparison, the gains and losses of one or two people's lives seem unimportant.
Wei Zhi can be open-minded, but Yang Heshu is not. In Wei Zhi's eyes, Bai Shan and Zhou Man are no different from ordinary people. Between ten thousand people and two people, he can choose ten thousand people without hesitation.
But in Yang Heshu's eyes, Bai Shan and Zhou Man are his good friends. Even if he will probably choose those 10,000 people in the end, he must feel very uncomfortable.
He felt uncomfortable at this moment. Looking at the documents in his hand, he didn't speak for a long time.
Wantian stood aside, and seeing that it was getting dark, he had to remind him, "Grandpa, grandma is still waiting for you."
Yang Heshu put down the document in his hand, sighed and said, "Have someone prepare the carriage and horses. We will go to Qili Village tomorrow."
"yes."
The message from above was a summons of grace, giving the Bai family two places to enter the Imperial College.
Two months have passed, and he thought the official document would not arrive, but it finally arrived. This means that Lord Wei has no choice, or the situation has become so serious that he is unwilling to stop Bai Shan from entering the capital.
Yang Heshu delivered the official document to the Bai family and said to the silent old lady Bai, "If you refuse, His Majesty will not punish you, but..."
"We will find other ways to summon him to the capital," the old lady knew in her heart that if the person making the complaint was not of high status or the grievance was not strong enough, the court would not take it seriously when it came to the royal prince. After two months, she naturally figured it out, so she sighed and said, "I understand. We accept this decree."
Yang Heshu was silent for a moment before saying, "I have a handwritten letter here. When Bai Shan and the others go to the capital, please bring something back for the old lady."
Old Madam Liu knew that he wanted Bai Shan to rely on the Yang family, and she couldn't help but smile gratefully and said, "Thank you, Lord Yang."
"No, to be honest, it's because we didn't plan carefully enough, which is why there was such trouble."
Madam Liu shook her head. "This is my problem. What does it have to do with you and Master Tang?"
Yang Heshu and Tang Zhihe originally planned to use Bai Shan and Zhou Man to investigate the case privately, and did not intend to expose them to the public. It was a mistake on her side that she forgot to mention this matter to Lord Wei, which exposed herself to the public.
After receiving the official documents, Old Lady Liu was ready to let them enter the capital.
The first person she asked was Master Bai, "Master Wei has sent two quotas. Do you think Erlang should come with you to the capital?"
Mr. Bai was hesitant and decided to ask Bai Erlang first.
Bai Erlang was naturally willing. Although they said that the capital was very dangerous, Shanbao and Manbao had both gone there, and it would be so boring for him to stay at home alone.
And it’s the capital city, it seems very lively and fun!
So Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Bai felt very uncomfortable watching this. Although he was also moved in his heart, he still felt jealous that his son was so outgoing. Why did he always want to run away?
Not to mention Bai Erlang, even Man Bao and Bai Shan, who knew that the journey to the capital would be dangerous, couldn't help but feel excited. They huddled together and whispered, "The capital must be very big and bustling."
“I don’t know how many fun and delicious things there are.”
Even Koko was very happy, and made his presence felt in Manbao's mind. "I don't know how many plants and animals there are that I haven't seen or heard of."
Manbao nodded repeatedly.
Koko continued, "The world outside is even more exciting and vast. Large species like horses and cows can also be purchased and included quietly, without anyone noticing."
Manbao nodded halfway and shook his head repeatedly, thinking that a horse must be very expensive.
She was recently learning about horses with Daji and inquired about the price of a horse. Even if she wanted to buy a foal, it would be extremely expensive. She decided to go to a big city to buy one. It was said that the horses there would be better than those in small places and slightly cheaper.
Although it couldn't read the host's thoughts, Koko knew the host's reason for refusal with the thinnest of its electromagnetic waves, so it said, "Collect creatures to exchange for points, then use the points to buy flowers, use the flowers to exchange for silver, and use the silver to buy the collected points. Host, you haven't spent anything."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "I spent time."
Koko said: "So the host is not even willing to spend time on me?"
Manbao quickly said, "No, no, I'm still willing. I'm just afraid of being a big tree that attracts the wind. Didn't you tell me to be careful since I was a child?"
"I just heard your conversation with Bai Shan. It is said that the capital is four times the size of Yizhou." Ke Ke said, "I think that no matter how much the host grows, it will be difficult for him to grow into a big tree that attracts the wind in the capital."
Man Bao's heart was stabbed. Seeing that her expression was different, Bai Shan reached out and pushed her, "I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?"
Manbao came back to his senses, "What did you just say?"
Bai Shan frowned and looked at her. After a long pause, he said, "I said, my grandmother said that she immediately sent people to Beijing to clean up the yard. My husband and I will go to Beijing later, while she will pack up her things at home. Finally, she and mother will go to Beijing slowly. Bai Er's family sent two servants to follow. Who in your family will go to Beijing with you?"
Manbao was surprised, "Your family has a yard in the capital?"
"There's a small courtyard with two entrances. My father bought it when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. It's been rented out all these years, so we have to send someone to Beijing first to see if we can negotiate with the tenant. If that's not possible, we'll have to rent the courtyard as well."
Manbao nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I have to go home and discuss this with my parents. My fourth sister-in-law is pregnant again, so my fourth brother may not be able to come to Beijing with me. My sixth brother should go with me."
The Zhou family is definitely worried about Manbao going alone with so many people, so they must send someone to follow him. After much consideration, Zhou Liulang is the best person to send since he has no family with him.
So Old Zhoutou called out Zhou Liulang's name first, but he always felt that Zhou Liulang was not very reliable, so he looked back and forth between Zhou Silang and Zhou Wulang.
