"Miss Mu, can you teach us the martial art boxing? I want to try to see if it is suitable for soldiers to learn." Qi Xiuyuan was much more honest than Qi Haoran, and immediately proposed the idea of ​​trying it out.

Mu Yangling understood just after a moment of stupefaction, nodded and smiled and said, "Of course it can, as long as it can help you."

They must learn military boxing in the army, but there are more ancient martial arts. Mu Yangling is not sure that there is no more suitable boxing method in the army. As a general of the army, Qi Xiuyuan obviously knows it better.

Mu Yangling thought for a while and said, "Then I will teach Mr. Qi from tomorrow, and I will leave after he has learned it."

Qi Xiuyuan thought she was going to leave the General's Mansion and go back to Linshan Village, so he smiled and said, "Your Linshan Village has been burned down, why don't you live in the General's Mansion first, and go back after spring comes."

"We want to wait for the folks in Linshan Village to settle down before moving south."

"Moving to the south?" Qi Xiuyuan paused with a smile and asked, "Are you leaving Xingzhou Mansion?"

Mu Yangling nodded, with a bit of reluctance on his face, "Yes, the first snow this year was only a month earlier, and the barbarians went south to hunt grass valleys. I'm afraid there will be a severe drought after summer, and the barbarian offenders will only be worse." Seriously, our family has many children, and my father is afraid that he won't be able to protect us, so he has to go south. Although it will be difficult to leave our hometown, it is better than losing our lives."

"Who said there will be a severe drought after summer?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

Rong Ze also looked over with concern.

Mu Yangling's face was a little embarrassed, "This is my guess, it may not be true."

Qi Xiuyuan slowed down his expression, and asked in a gentle voice: "I don't know how Miss Mu deduced it from."

Mu Yangling said truthfully: "The first snow this year was one month earlier than in previous years, and it fell for five days in a row. Now the snow outside is still a finger deep. My uncle said, according to the older generation According to my experience, there will definitely be less rain in the coming year. If I am unlucky, I am afraid that there will be drought again. But I thought, there is a lot of rain in the sky, and the snow is rainwater. Now so much snow has fallen in advance. , there will be less rain that day, and the river will rise when the snow turns into water in spring, but in previous years, it is the time when the rain is the most in summer, so how can there be rainwater falling?"

Mu Yangling explained the principle of the conservation of rainwater in a simple way. Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Ze laughed when they heard her child's thoughts: "Your child's family thinks a lot."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin believed it.

Fan Zijin said: "Cousin, I think what she said is good, it's better to take precautions earlier."

Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, feeling that his cousin usually looked steady, but he was still a child after all, he believed even such words, but he knew his younger brother and cousin's stubbornness, if he didn't take it to heart, these two boys would have to pester him all day long, So Qi Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Okay, I will take care of it.

As soon as this remark came out, the three children were relieved.

After Qi Xiuyuan saw Director Zhu, he said: "The Mu family will go south in a while, you pack a high-quality Cheng Yi, and give it to them when they leave."

I wish the manager hurriedly responded, "Young master, don't worry, the slave will be ready."

Rong Ze said, "The Mu family wants to go south, but I'm afraid it won't happen in the short term."

"Why?"

Rong Ze described what happened at the gate of the government office today, and said: "Wu Shancai obviously wants to conspire with the gentry for their fields, and will not provide food for disaster relief. The Mu family wants to wait for the people in Linshan Village to settle down. I’m afraid some people will wait if we leave again.”

Qi Xiuyuan's face was filled with anger, "They will take advantage of the fire to rob, they are simply worse than the Tartars."

"That can't be helped, it is impossible for us to interfere in local government affairs."

Qi Xiuyuan looked serious, and asked: "If most of the land in Xingzhou Prefecture is in their hands, do you think we can still receive our military salary next year?"

"..." Rong Ze immediately said: "We must not let them succeed, I will discuss it with my staff."

Only then was Qi Xiuyuan satisfied. These people even evade the national tax, not to mention the tax that involves military pay. They always avoid it whenever they can. Rioting without food.

Wu Shancai thought he could do whatever he wanted because he couldn't meddle in local government affairs? Qi Xiuyuan has never been someone who can suffer losses, so he asked Jiang Ze to lead people to surround the Fucheng that day, under the euphemistic name of arresting Qian Shu, the former magistrate of Mingshui County who was collaborating with the enemy.

Qian Shu lost the city and fled, which can be said to be dereliction of duty, but Qi Xiuyuan can also say that he was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous, and deliberately let the golden soldiers enter the city.

Wu Shancai shut him out of the city gate back then, the debt has not yet been settled, Qi Xiuyuan didn't mind stirring up the water even more.

But Wu Shancai in the government office was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, he slapped the table angrily, "Qi Xiuyuan is too deceitful!"

Wu Shancai was so angry that he said, "Not only did I take a picture of a little boy to make trouble for me, but he even dared to send soldiers to surround my government office. He is trying to rebel. I want to join him and let the Holy Majesty decide for me!"

Master Huang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and warned in a low voice: "My lord, the money tree is still in the government office, we can't let Qi Xiuyuan arrest him from the house, otherwise he will be charged with crimes, and he will definitely be imprisoned." you."

Master Huang didn't think His Majesty would listen to Wu Shancai's one-sided words, after all, Qi Xiuyuan's reason for besieging the government office was very good, and the most terrible person was actually in the government office.

But Wu Shancai's attack on Qi Xiuyuan was all conjecture, without evidence.

Master Huang regretted that Wu Shancai didn't insist on persuading Qi Xiuyuan when he locked Qi Xiuyuan outside the city gate last time, otherwise the relationship between the two would not have been so deep.

Qi Xiuyuan has been here for four years, and he has dealt with the other party for four years, and he understands him better than the magistrate.

Qi Xiuyuan looks generous and upright, but he is the master who never suffers. Wu Shancai offended him, and he can remember this grudge for ten years.

"Then what do you think we should do? Now the government office is full of his people, how can we send them away?" Wu Shancai asked irritably.

Master Huang was silent for a moment, and said: "My lord, why don't you dress up and go out to question him, let Qian Shu go out with you as a yamen servant, and let him leave halfway. As for his family, outsiders don't know it. Lock them up."

"Okay, just do as you said, but I went to ask him what?"

Whether you can see General Qi is a question.

"...Your Excellency, just ask what you said about General Qi just now. It is best to bring the child who questioned General Qi this morning, so that he can explain to Master He Yuanwai and others."

Wu Shancai nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, that kid surnamed Mu is really abominable. Remember, next year her family's tax will be 30% higher, and the village where she lives will be 20% heavier."

Master Huang opened his mouth, and finally bowed his head in response.

Wu Shancai made Qian Shu pretend to be a yamen servant, and took him out swaggeringly. Mr. Huang followed him closely. As soon as he went out, he met Jiang Ze who was sitting on the horse. Wanting Qian Shu to go back quickly, Wu Shancai stepped forward and shouted aggressively: "Jiang Ze, you are just a school captain. Not only did you not kneel when you saw this officer, but you even sat on the horse. It is simply unreasonable."

Qian Shu hurriedly followed behind Wu Shancai.

Master Huang who wanted to hold Qian Shu: "..."
