There were guests in the house, and they were arranged by Xu Yujian to live in the guest house, and Shen Xi knew that it was normal.

Xu Yujian nodded.

Then, she told Yuan Ye about it.

"If this matter is difficult, Zichang, you naturally don't have to touch your hands. Xu Yujian directly expressed his attitude.

People are selfish.

Compared with an aunt who had just met for the first time and had no feelings to speak of, and an uncle who had not yet met, Xu Yujian was naturally biased towards Shen Xi, if this matter was harmful to Shen Xi, of course she would not let Shen Xi interfere.

After Shen Xi finished listening, there was a slight interest in his eyes.

"Liaocheng?"

He whispered.

After a long time, Shen Xi raised his head again, grabbed Xu Yujian's hand and kissed it on the lips, "Tian Tian, in the end, it is also your uncle, since we have spare strength, we naturally want to help, you can rest assured about this matter." ”

Xu Yu glanced at Shen Xi suspiciously, "Really not embarrassed?"

Shen Xi laughed when he heard this, "Tian Tian, why don't you have confidence in your husband, don't worry, if you are embarrassed, I will never be strong." ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Yujian finally put his mind at ease.

Dinner was served by everyone in the temple.

In order to welcome Xu Huiying's arrival, the county lord of Anyang specially ordered the kitchen to add a few more dishes, although there were only four people to eat, but a full table was placed, which made Xu Huiying feel cramped for this.

After dinner, Xu Yujian took advantage of sending Xu Huiying back to the guest room, and relayed Shen Xi's words to Xu Huiying, so happy that Xu Huiying cried with joy again.

The next day, after dealing with the affairs of the Hou Mansion, Xu Yu saw that he had a word with the county lord of Anyang, and returned to the Hou Mansion of Wuding.

Although Xu Huiying is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion in the end, she is now in the capital, and she has found Xu Yujian here, Xu Yujian always has to talk to the old lady.

The old lady was a little surprised by Xu Yujian's arrival, and after listening to Xu Yujian's words, her face became a little gloomy.

"Your eldest aunt, she is a very good idea, she was going to marry the Yuan family at the beginning, and now she is directly crossing her mother's house to find Sister Tian, and you are the same here, since your husband can get started, my wife can't stop ......"

The old lady snorted coldly after speaking.

The old lady is getting older and older, and her temperament is becoming more and more like a child.

Xu Yu saw that he coaxed the old lady for a while, and finally coaxed the old lady to be happy.

After having lunch with the old lady and the Jiang family in the Hou Mansion, and talking for a while, Xu Yu returned to the Junwang Mansion when he saw it.

Shen Xi came back early today, and not long after Xu Yu returned home, he saw Shen Xi wearing a scarlet official uniform enter the house.

Shen Xi's mood looked very good, and even the corners of his lips kept rising.

Xu Yu was a little strange when he saw this, "Zichang, but what's the good thing?"

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the corner of Shen Xi's lips.

Shen Xi didn't hide, and when Xu Yujian finished stroking the corner of his lips and wanted to withdraw his hand, he grabbed her hand and left a few small kisses on her warm and white fingers, which made Xu Yujian itch and couldn't help chuckling, and then stopped.

"Isn't there a good thing?" Shen Xi said, "Speaking of which, it has something to do with this aunt who came yesterday." ”

Xu Huiying?

Xu Yu was a little surprised.

Shen Xi usually told Xu Yu about the affairs of the court, and of course he didn't hide it at this time, "...... Tian Tian, I have long wanted to intervene in Liaocheng, but I have never found a chance, didn't I just find such a great opportunity this time?"

Last time, Shen Xi and the county lord of Anyang and Xu Yujian said that in the plan for the future, Liaocheng is undoubtedly extremely important.

Originally, Shen Xi thought that if he really couldn't find a chance, he would only take action when Beiyi invaded in the future, but now Yuan Ye and Xu Huiying have sent a great opportunity to him.

Shen Xi was naturally happy.

In fact, since Shen Xi returned to Beijing, he has been keeping a close eye on the news of Liaocheng.

And this attention revealed a remarkable thing.

Since the founding of Taizu, Daliang has implemented the hereditary military status and tuntian system, which can not only ensure sufficient soldiers, but also make military salaries self-sufficient, which greatly reduced the pressure on the imperial court at the beginning of the establishment of Daliang.

However, after more than 100 years of such a system, many different ideas have gradually emerged in various health centers.

First of all, this military household is hereditary.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, the people were not actually excluded from joining the army.

After all, the world at that time could be said to be in chaos, and if you entered the army, you would at least have land to plant, food to fill your stomach, and you would not starve to death no matter what.

But now, when the world has been stable for decades, this situation has changed.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, because there were still wars from time to time, the soldiers in the army naturally had a pivotal position, but with the stability of the Great Liang Dynasty for more than 100 years, now the imperial court is the time to emphasize literature and light military force, coupled with the gradual corruption in the army, the life of military households is becoming more and more difficult.

As far as Shen Xi knows, there is not only a lot of corruption in the current border armies, but also a large number of military households fleeing in an attempt to get their children and grandchildren rid of military status.

Wait a minute.

The situation in Liaocheng is better, because the soldiers of Liaocheng have a strong sense of belonging to Liaocheng, so although there are escapes, they are much less than other border troops.

But corruption is unavoidable.

For example, Yuan Ye's case was framed by someone.

According to Shen Xi's knowledge, among the upper-level generals in Liaocheng who were sent by the imperial court, there were many soldiers who invaded the army and re-served to cultivate, which naturally made the army's food and salary insufficient.

How are the deficiencies sufficient?

Like Yuan Ye, who has obviously paid enough military rations, but was framed for embezzling military rations, he naturally became a scapegoat.

As for the military rations that Yuan Ye handed over, of course, they were used by the upper-level generals to make up for the shortfall.

Speaking of which, this is also because Yuan Ye has no background, so others will directly take him under the knife.

If it weren't for Xu Huiying's request to the county king's mansion......

I'm afraid that this time Yuan Ye will really be convicted.

Shen Xi told Xu Yujian all this, "The guard of Liaocheng is also subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, this time it is not that I took the initiative to meddle in the affairs of Liaocheng, but that the military family of Liaocheng was wronged and found me to be the master, as the Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, of course I can't watch the people below suffer such a wronged ......"

Saying these words, Shen Xi smiled like a cunning fox.
