Chapter 2080 Corruption
In the evening of that day, Song Yan took Cao Jing back to Songjiacun.
Similarly, the news that Song Yan was appointed as the magistrate of the Fifth Rank Prefecture has spread back to Songjia Village. Therefore, after Song Yan returned, the whole village came to pay his respects.
Later, the pig butcher's father-in-law and brother-in-law Chen Chong also arrived.
After dinner, Song Yan called everyone together and said: "Father-in-law, I plan to take my young mother to Liangzhou. After all, I am an official there and it is difficult to come back. Therefore, I would like to ask for your opinion. Don’t come with me!”
"this……?"
Hearing Song Yan's words, the pig butcher's father-in-law showed hesitation. For him, he was already old and had the thought of leaving his homeland. It was indeed not as good as living in Liangzhou thousands of miles away. Feel free to stay in Huangshan County.
At that time, Chen Chong's daughter-in-law showed eagerness in her eyes. She had asked people before that the magistrate was the highest official position besides the magistrate. Even the county magistrate had to salute when she saw him.
If they can get Song Yan's blessing, their family's life will definitely be good. It would be even better if they could arrange an errand for his husband.
After months of hard training, Chen Chong has entered the middle stage of martial arts, and has also shown his prominence in the county. He is highly valued by the county magistrate and promoted to the position of chief catcher.
Song Yan said again: "Father-in-law, if you want to stay in Huangshan County, I will say hello to the county magistrate. With my face, he will only take care of you. If you go to Liangzhou with my son-in-law, I will give you a message." After buying a property, brother, I will also arrange for him to join the magistrate's office or the army, and there is no question of getting an official position in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Chen Chong's wife's face became more and more eager, and she couldn't help but said: "Dad, just agree to it. If my husband can become an official, it will be a good thing for our ancestors!"
Chen Chong was also quite moved. Although he was the head catcher of Huangshan County, he was not an official and did not have any rank. After all, the county magistrate was only at the ninth rank.
The reason why Song Yan wanted his father-in-law and his family to go to Liangzhou with him was mainly because the Wei Kingdom was about to change. From his previous conversation with King Yan, he learned that there was a severe drought in the northwest, and people died of hunger everywhere. It was even more common for the imperial court to exchange children for food. Although there is disaster relief, the food and money distributed have been exploited at every level, and very little has fallen into the hands of the victims. At most, an uprising may break out in March.
You must know that the current Weiguo is a big sieve. Once someone rebels, it will definitely start a prairie fire like a spark.
As for the military in various places, it is also corrupt, and the officers are also corrupt. It is a common phenomenon to eat military pay and eat empty pay. According to the information collected by Prince Yan's Mansion, the most exaggerated military town clearly has 5,000 personnel, but the guarding general for On empty pay, there were only a hundred people in the entire military camp.
Once a local uprising occurs, what will they do to suppress it?
Let those officials go?
"Dad, you have worked hard all your life, it's time to follow Xiao Lang and enjoy the blessings!" At Song Yan's signal, Chen Youniang also began to persuade.
"Yes, dad, let's all go to my brother-in-law!"
Chen Chong also said.
Seeing that his son, daughter-in-law and daughter all wanted him to go to Liangzhou, the butcher's father-in-law could only agree, but he looked a little lonely.
"Father-in-law, we will set off in three days. During these days, you should go and meet those old friends!"
Song Yan said.
After settling the matter with the Chen family, Song Yan planned to take Cao Jing to the master's gate to pay homage to the master.
Although Chen Yuniang had not been teaching him for a long time, Song Yan still had a good impression of her.
The next day.
Song Yan took Cao Jing and quickly rushed to the teacher's gate.
In less than an hour, Song Yan and the two arrived at the foot of the Yunshui Sword Sect mountain.
Everything in the master's school was as usual, and no accidents occurred.
Later, Song Yan and Cao Jing went to the courtyard where Chen Yuniang lived hand in hand.
"Master, my junior brother and I are back to see you!"
Cao Jing shouted with joy on her face.
As soon as the figure flashed, Chen Yuniang appeared. When she saw Song Yan and Cao Jing holding hands together, she couldn't help but said with joy: "Okay, okay, it's really great!"
Catching Chen Yuniang's gaze, Cao Jing couldn't help feeling ashamed, and a blush appeared on her face. She quickly broke away from Song Yan's hand and threw herself into Chen Yuniang's arms: "Master, I miss you so much."
After staying at the Yunshui Sword Sect for one night, Song Yan and Cao Jing left. Before leaving, Song Yan left the revised "Qingdi Gong" to Chen Yuniang. She practiced according to this technique and practiced it to perfection. Reached the late master stage.
His technique originally came from the head of Yunshui Sword Sect. After his modification, it became more powerful. And Chen Yuniang herself was in the late Xiantian stage. If she practiced this technique, it would not be difficult for her to become a master.
After all, troubled times are about to come, and monsters are everywhere. If Chen Yuniang can become a master, her ability to protect herself will be stronger.
Three days passed by in a flash.
Song Yan took everyone on the road in a simple car, and the whole village came to see him off.
As for their house, it is specially left to the village chief to take care of it.
Some distance away from Songjia Village, Song Yan used the power of Taoist Golden Pill to roll them up into the sky and take them flying directly.
Flying with a few people was nothing and did not affect the speed. Therefore, in less than half a day, we returned to Liangzhou Fucheng.
He bought a house in the city and settled his father-in-law's family there.
Originally, he arranged for two servants and two maids, but the butcher's father-in-law refused to take them.
Chen Youniang is the youngest among the three girls, but she is a big woman. Therefore, Cao Jing and Cai Xueji both treat her as sister, but they make her blush.
Unconsciously, it has been a month since Song Yan returned to Liangzhou.
Under his control, not only the entire government office, but also the five thousand troops in the military town fell under his control.
Although he has completely taken control of the government office, he still maintains due respect for Su Bingwen.
This day.
The other party sent the master next to him to hurriedly summon him.
"Sir, what happened?"
Song Yan asked.
"Hey, you'll know just by looking at it!"
Su Bingwen handed Song Yan an official newspaper. The so-called official newspaper is a special newspaper circulated among officials.
According to the description in the official newspaper, uprisings broke out in many places in the northwest. Although the imperial court also sent troops to attack, they did so due to lack of training and lack of pay.
In less than 20 days, nine counties in the northwest were captured, and the size of the rebel army reached about 200,000 people.
To deal with the 200,000 rebels, it would be difficult to do so without an army of more than 50,000.
But there are no more troops available in the northwest, so we can only choose to transfer from abroad.
But it was the same for the entire Wei Kingdom. It was simply unrealistic for the imperial court to mobilize troops from neighboring provinces. However, Liangzhou was located on the border. In order to prevent barbarians, the five thousand troops in the military town were fully staffed.
"Ziyu, if my guess is correct, I'm afraid there will soon be a ban from the imperial court on mobilizing troops to suppress troops!" Su Bingwen said with a worried look on his face.
If the five thousand troops in Liangzhou Military Town are transferred away, Liangzhou County will be in danger. It is simply unrealistic to expect the three hundred city guards to resist the barbarians.
