Although Shen Ji's life in Daizhou was not as comfortable as when he was in Bianliang, but with the help of Yang Ye, most of the decrees in Daizhou can be ordered and prohibited.But during the winter solstice, she faced the chaos around Khitan directly for the first time.

That day when she was handling government affairs in the Tongjuan Hall, a soldier came to report in a hurry, saying that the Khitan people from Weizhou had led an army to invade and had a fierce battle with the soldiers from the Pingxing Village. Horses have already begun to be looted in the villages east of Fanjun County.

Shen Ji was shocked, and asked: "How many people came from the other party, where is Yang Wudi?"

The soldier said again: "The deployment of soldiers and horses has already mobilized soldiers and horses to fight against the enemy."

Shen Ji couldn't intervene in military matters, so he could only ask people to inquire about the situation in Fanjun County.She thought about it, but she was not at ease, so she asked someone to go back and tell Li Yunyao that they were ready to move at any time, while she asked someone to prepare a horse, and led Liu Chong and others to prepare to rush to Fanmai County.

Li Yunyao stopped her and said: "I will not stop the officials from going to Fanzhang County, but if you want us to hide elsewhere, we can't do it. We will wait here for you to come back."

Lu Nianchuan didn't say a word, but her resolute expression was undoubtedly the most affirmative approval of Li Yunyao's words.

Shen Ji knew Li Yunyao's temper, so he didn't persuade him too much. He asked people to guard the judgment hall, and then rushed to the front line.

When Shen Ji arrived, the Khitan soldiers and horses had already withdrawn. They were like locusts passing through the border. Wherever they went, there was no grass and no living things for the people.The people finally looked forward to coming to the imperial court to reduce taxes and store up some grain. They thought they would have a good year, but when the Khitan people came, they worked for nothing for a year, and the seeds for next spring's plowing were gone.

With a heavy heart, Shen Ji came to the county government office in Fanwei County, but learned that the county magistrate was not in the county government office, and sent someone to inquire, only to find out that he had learned that the Khitan people had come, and ran to hide in a villa in the city .

Hearing that Shen Ji had come, the county magistrate hurried back to the Yamen without stopping.

Shen Ji said coldly: "When the enemy is attacking, there is nothing wrong with you setting up your family and relatives, but as an official of the imperial court, how can you back down from the enemy now?!"

The county magistrate immediately argued that he just went to inquire about whether the Khitan had withdrawn their troops, and it wasn't because he was hiding because he was greedy for life and fear of death.

Shen Ji knew that this was not the time to question the crime.After waiting in the county office for a while, she received a message from someone sent by Yang Ye, saying that he is also listening to his subordinates' report now, and will come to discuss the matter with her after the report is over.

It was only after dark that Yang Ye rushed over. His armor was still on, obviously he had just returned from the front line.Without any formality, he cut to the chase and said, "This time, the soldiers and horses under the command of the Jiedu Envoy of the Zhongshun Army of Weizhou, totaling 500 people, came to attack. They have a clear purpose, which is to plunder food and people."

Weizhou belongs to the Khitan Xijing Road, and they set up Jiedu envoys following the example of the Tang Dynasty. Although the military is under the control of Xijingdu, the Jiedu envoys in this area still have some soldiers in their hands.

Shen Ji's face sank like water: "If I'm not mistaken, most of the 500 people are Han Chinese."

Yang Ye paused and nodded: "That's right, most of them are Han Chinese, and their ancestors lived in Weizhou and Daizhou for generations, so they are very familiar with the terrain of Daizhou, so when they come to disturb the border, they often feel as if they are in the same place." No man's land."

Speaking of this, we have to mention the official system of Khitan. Khitan implements a bicameral system, that is, "govern the Khitan with the system of the clan, and treat the Han people with the Han system". There is the North Privy Council in the north, which is in charge of the Khitan people, and the South Privy Council in the south, which is for the Han people. palm.However, the North Privy Council has always been higher than the South Privy Council and has greater power.

The state capitals in the southern border such as Yuzhou are under the jurisdiction of the Southern Privy Council. That is to say, most of the officials in these state capitals are actually Han Chinese, not to mention the soldiers. Khitan does not have such a large population. Han people are the main ones.

During the Liu Han regime, Liu Jiyuan and his son had a close relationship with Khitan, and this generation of state also had contacts with surrounding state capitals, so this time the Khitan came to rob Daizhou, and left before Yang Ye led his troops to arrive. They have eyeliner in Daizhou.

Yang Ye has already sent heavy troops to guard each pass, and at the same time he has written a military report to report to the imperial court. As for the resettlement of the people who suffered from man-made disasters this time, he has to discuss further with Shen Ji.

"How did you deal with it in the past?" Shen Ji asked.

No one knows this better than the county magistrate of Fanjun County. In order to make up for his mistakes, he hurriedly said: "First, send people to appease their emotions, and then reduce taxes so that they can regain their confidence. Distribute food relief to empty homes to help them survive this severe winter."

"First count the number of casualties, count those poor people whose food has been looted, and give three buckets of rice to each person, and then the government will come forward to loan rice, each person can loan one stone of rice, and the interest will be collected after the next autumn harvest..." Shen Ji suggested.

As she said that, she looked at Yang Ye again, "If possible, please send someone from Zhizhou to verify."

Yang Ye had no objection to her proposal, but County Magistrate Fanjun heard that Shen Ji had asked Yang Ye to send troops to verify it—verify what?It is natural to verify the casualties and the situation of being looted, in case someone fishes in troubled waters and prostitutes for food relief.

This kind of fact is too common, and the richer the gentry, the more they like to do this kind of thing. They have great power, and they collude with the powerful households in the village to fake their own house being robbed, and no one else dares to expose it.Therefore, whenever natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, when the government provides disaster relief, they can get a lot of benefits from it.

If Yang Ye sent another army to check, these gentry would not be able to reach out to the army, so naturally they would not be able to make fakes.

The county magistrate Fanjun asked Shen Ji hesitantly: "Is it not good to loan rice?"

Shen Ji said: "Doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times is not abnormal, it's just an emergency measure. The next year's harvest will be good, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Naturally, there will be no need to rely on rice loans for a living."

The county magistrate Fanjun did not expect Shen Ji to be so easy to fool. Although she would still distribute relief food, she came up with an idea of ​​"loaning rice", which is tantamount to telling the common people: The government only helps the urgent, not the poor. Three buckets of rice is enough for you to eat for half a month, but if you want the government to support you all the time, it is impossible, you can first lend you rice at a low interest rate, and then repay the principal and interest when you have a harvest in the coming year.

On the one hand, it will not make the people desperate, and on the other hand, it will also invisibly put pressure on the people, so that they will be more concerned about the harvest in the coming year, so that they will not neglect farming.

After this incident, Shen Ji believed that it was imminent to build a military defense project.Fortunately, after half a year of mining and forging, chalk can be supplied in large quantities. Shen Ji asked the imperial court to allocate a sum of money so that people could build a stronger military fort with compound soil according to the formula given by Li Yunyao.

After dealing with these things, it will be the end of the year.

It was the first time for Shen Ji to feel that the new year was difficult, but with Li Yunyao around, she still felt a little comfort.

Knowing that Khitan disturbed the border, Shen Yilu and Yan Shu were very worried about Shen Ji's safety, so they sent three letters from home.The Li family also sent a letter to Li Yunyao. After reading the family letter and eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the couple leaned together and whispered while watching the new year.

"What did the father-in-law and mother-in-law say in the letter?" Shen Ji asked.

"It's all homework, and Jianzhong's marriage was mentioned."

When Li Yunyao mentioned this, Shen Ji remembered that Li Jianzhong had just passed the New Year, and at this age, it was indeed the age to say goodbye.

"Did my brother-in-law agree with me?"

"Not yet, he can't get married now, so it's hard to talk about marriage."

Li's father's official rank is not enough to qualify Li Jianzhong to find a girlfriend, so when he dies, he is still just doing nothing.However, under the influence of Shen Ji, he was able to play with Cao Bing's son, as if he wanted to imitate his grandfather and follow the path of a general.

Shen Ji rolled his eyes, and said: "It's better to let him come here, if he can win Yang Wudi's favor, maybe he can show his fists and make great achievements on the battlefield as he wishes."

Li Yunyao gave her a blank look: "I agree, even my parents may not agree."

Shen Ji thought, that's right, Li Jianzhong is the only seedling of the Li family, he has not yet married a wife and had children, if he is asked to take risks in the front line, I am afraid that the father-in-law and mother-in-law will blame her.

The omission scale has passed the third watch, Shen Ji and Li Yunyao couldn't bear it any longer, so they went back to their room to rest.

When Li Yunyao was about to fall asleep, the system, which had been silent for a long time, went online to remind her that since the military stronghold built with new triadic clay had been completed, she got a reward for contributing the formula.

Li Yunyao thought to himself, according to the system's previous urine behavior, this reward must be obtained in a dream, so he fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, she went to that world again in her dream, and then as if she was guided, she found a book in the vast knowledge base.

"Iron cannon?"

The author says:

Instant noodles: Since you want to open it, then follow through to the end!

Shen Xiaoji: Sure enough, my wife who has the system cheat is the real protagonist.
