Chapter 3 [003] An undercurrent under the calm

At noon that day, Liu Yan really took out his savings for a big banquet, and at this time, the Yizhou Army and other officials at all levels guarding Mianzhu County, regardless of the size of the official position, everyone had a share. Everyone was drunk, and the banquet was full of laughter, and the previous tense atmosphere was long gone.

Shen Xian sat on the chairman and ate quietly, while eating, he felt that Liu Yan's trick was really beautiful, he didn't come forward himself, let Shen Xian go to explore the way first, see how the effect was, if it was good, it should be an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and if it was not good, it would be a failed experience, and put the responsibility on her and say that the son was not strict.

The reconstruction of Mianzhu is in full swing amid a false peace that has been compromised on all sides. The next day, Shen Xian gathered the three hundred people who had been beaten by her in the school field, she knew that even if she beat it once, there were people here who were not convinced that she was parachuted to take care of things, but it didn't matter, if she didn't accept it once, she would do it twice, and if she didn't accept it twice, she would not dare to find trouble.

"I know you don't obey me, it doesn't matter, whoever wants to challenge me can come casually, whether you are alone or in a group." Long Han turned the judge's pen and lectured the Yizhou army: "There is only one point, as long as you can't beat me in a day, you have to listen to what I say, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do." ”

"Understood?" As soon as Shen Xian grasped the pen and swung it out, the soldier closest to Shen Xian suddenly felt a fierce momentum rushing towards his face, which frightened him to retreat in a hurry.

"Got it!" The well-behaved Yizhou soldiers shouted.

Shen Xian was very satisfied, so she ordered to carry out the task according to her order yesterday.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you start to do it, no matter how difficult it is, you can slowly overcome it.

Soon, with the joint efforts of the military and civilians of the city, the destroyed city wall was built; The smashed houses and shops in the city have also been reinforced; The grain outside the city is about to be ripe, and although only two-thirds of it is left, it will still survive this winter, plus some of the remaining parts of the treasury.

As for the treasury of the government and all kinds of treasures...... Shen Xian gave some to the Yizhou soldiers who worked with her very well during the inventory, and some of them were taken back to honor her father, and the rest were all re-registered and stored properly and sent to take care of them.

What the? What do you say is the share that has been divided? It's all on the Yellow Turban Thief.

There were some things that Shen Xian knew was wrong, but she had to do them, just like Liu Yan borrowed her hand to beat the Yizhou army. Liu Yan, the new official who took office, came to Yizhou to avoid trouble, and if he wanted to spend the rest of his life in Yizhou in peace and stability, he must first deal with all kinds of hidden dangers in Yizhou.

The Yellow Turban Thieves are only the most undignified, and even the straw bales of the Yizhou Army can suppress them. What Liu Yan is really worried about is the intertwined interests of the scholars in Yizhou.

For example, Jia Long, who exterminated the Yellow Turban thief and welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou.

This state manager can actually mobilize the soldiers and horses in Quanyi Prefecture, especially those soldiers who still obey his words and fight wherever he is told, but they don't listen to the words of the state pastor Liu Yan, which makes Liu Yan secretly frightened.

In the fourth year of Hanzhongping, the war in the world has started, and although the territory of Yizhou is still peaceful, it is still turbulent. The royal clan is cold, you come and go, and the invisible swords and swords are fighting everywhere.

However, for Shen Xian, things are not bad on the whole, the city has been built, government affairs are on the right track, the people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment to rebuild their homes, and the 300 disobedient Yizhou troops under his command have also developed into more than 3,000 Yizhou troops who are forbidden by order.

In the past year, the Yizhou army has challenged Shen Xian countless times, some of them are open and straightforward, and some of them are conspiratorial and secretly engaged in sneak attacks and sacks. However, no matter what kind of battle it was, Shen Xian took it all and won it neatly, and she didn't lose a single battle. After the fight, the Yizhou soldiers were convinced, and empathized, any of them could not get out safely if they were surrounded and intercepted like this every day, but Shen Xian could be so calm every day.

Especially the centurion who was beaten by Shen Xian at the beginning, his name is Jia De, and he is a distant relative of Jia Long, and he is extremely arrogant in the army, and no one dares to provoke him, but unfortunately he ran into Shen Xian, a harder master, and after being beaten many times, he was finally convinced, and only Shen Xian was the first to look forward, and he no longer dared to stir up trouble.

After packing up the three hundred people, Shen Xian began to think of ways to expand her people. It stands to reason that unless the border is stopped, the imperial court will not allow local troops to respect themselves. But now that the royal family is in decline, the binding force on the local government has been greatly weakened, so those who have money and land have begun to find various reasons to secretly recruit soldiers.

Shen Xian's reason for recruiting troops was very simple - in order to exterminate the Yellow Turban bandits roaming around in Yizhou.

Most of the people stationed soldiers are for this reason, and there are very few because the security on their own territory is so good that there are no bandits at all, and they have to create a bunch of bandits to deceive the court in order to garrison the soldiers, and the shameless Cheng dΓΉ made Shen Xian breathtaking.

Although most of the Yellow Turban thieves in Yizhou were scattered by Jia Long, there was still a small group circulating around to cause trouble, and the counties were deeply affected by it, and they all wrote to the state pastor to ask them to send troops to quell the chaos. So Shen Xian took the opportunity to recruit troops, expanded her 300 people to about 3,000, and took them around to fight a small group of yellow turban thieves when she had nothing to do, all for actual combat training. Most of the Yellow Turban thieves who participated in the uprising were poor people, the kind who couldn't even afford to eat, and basically had no combat effectiveness, and they surrendered after being scared and frightened by the Yizhou army with weapons.

After surrendering, Shen Xian will decide whether these people will stay or go according to the situation, if they are forcibly arrested or forced by others, there are still family members at home, and this kind of education will be put back home to farm.

However, sometimes there will be some vicious people who specialize in robbing homes and killing people and stealing goods, most of these people have human lives on their backs, Shen Xian interrogated them clearly after they were caught, and all of them were handed over to the counties and counties to go through legal procedures and severely punished.

Liu Yan went to the court to say that Shen Xian had made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, and gave his "youngest son" the official position of lieutenant, and asked Shen Xian to temporarily take the position of Taishou of Guanghan County on the grounds of lack of manpower in Yizhou, and also gave Shen Xian his own state pastoral seal to Shen Xian to take charge. With this seal in hand, coupled with the more than 3,000 Yizhou troops held by Shen Xian on the grounds of quelling the chaos, Shen Xian's actual power in Quanyizhou was almost equal to that of Liu Yan and Jia Long.

Shen Xian felt that Liu Yan had cultivated her probably just to contain the power of the Shi clan. After all, the struggle is cruel, and if you don't pay attention to it, your life will be in danger, and your son is precious, and your daughter is worthless.

But it doesn't matter, she finally has her first batch of people.

The days gradually passed in Shen Xian's daily thrift and use to make money to build a city and train troops. The effect of this year is very significant, the new Mianzhu County is the best illustration, the people in the city also look much healthier than when Shen Xian first came, and from time to time you will see groups of children running over laughing and running over on the street.

Having children represents hope.

Shen Xian likes to go to the streets to patrol, greet and chat with the people, and keep abreast of people's livelihood problems to facilitate solutions, which has become her daily habit later.

Today is no exception, even though Shen Xian has decided to skip work, she still hasn't given up on patrolling. Walking out of the house with red sleeves all the way, the master and servant slowly walked towards Yun Laishun.

Shen Xian is very popular with the people in the city, especially the children, and everyone has to line up for the beautiful brother to touch his head and raise it high after meeting her. Shen Xian always tried her best to meet the children's requirements, she seriously hugged them one by one, patted the head of the last child and told him to study hard, and then continued to walk to the restaurant with red sleeves.

"Little ...... Childe, you're too talkative. Red Sleeves couldn't help but say after watching it for a long time: "Every time I go out, I have to deal with those children." ”

Shen Xian glanced at her lightly: "This is called loving the people like a son, you don't understand." ”

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so start with the hearts of the people in Mianzhu.

Besides, the children are so cute, all of them are bun faces, and they are so soft when pinched~

Shen Xian was silent on the surface, but her heart was a little rippling.

Red Sleeves was picked up by Shen Xian when she took people to the surrounding villages to clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, her parents died in the Yellow Turban Uprising some time ago, and there was a mess and I don't know who did it, no one carried this pot, only bitter Red Sleeves A lonely and helpless girl. Shen Xian saw that Red Sleeves was indeed pitiful, and it happened that she also lacked a maid by her side - those sent by Liu Yan were too unclever and could only do rough work - so Shen Xian took Red Sleeves home.

Liu Yan has always cared about this kind of issue, Shen Xian registered Red Sleeves in the mansion, and after signing the deed of sale, Red Sleeves officially became a person from Liu Mansion.

As a personal maid, of course Red Sleeves knows that Shen Xian is a girl, but this girl speaks simply, works neatly, is also clever, and the most important thing is that she regards Shen Xian, who took her home, as a benefactor and is very loyal.

For Shen Xian, this is enough.

Red Sleeves didn't know the purpose of Shen Xian's going to have a big meal, and Shen Xian didn't say anything about this deepest buried secret, and she never planned to say it. She casually found a reason to prevaricate.

Yun Lai Shun is a new restaurant opened after they came to Mianzhu, taking the meaning of "guest like Yunlai", although the name is vulgar, but the dish is good. Shen Xian is a glutton, she used to think about some delicious meals, but after the crossing, the standard of living declined rapidly, in addition to the lack of money, the most important reason is that some very ordinary vegetables in later generations have not yet been transmitted to China during the Three Kingdoms.

For example, scrambled eggs with tomatoes...... of tomatoes.

Shen Xian worries every day about how to make infinite deliciousness into limited dishes, and the chefs in Liu's Mansion can only make basic dishes, and they don't have a sense of honor as a royal chef at all.

Until Shen Xian came to Yunlaishun.

The master of this house, Fu Cliff, is a talent! The taste of the dishes made is simply according to Shen Xian's standards. Shen Xian immediately asked the shopkeeper to match, and discussed with the master for a whole afternoon on the issue of cooking, and the two hit it off at first sight and became friends. Since then, Shen Xian has taken a lot of care of Yun Laishun, and Yun Laishun has become the first high-end restaurant in Mianzhu, and the dignitaries and dignitaries have banqueted guests. In return, Yun Laishun's shopkeeper treated Shen Xian as a guest, and every time he came to the door, he was grandly welcomed to invite him to a seat, in addition to the price concessions, etc., the two sides were mutually beneficial and very happy.

But today's Yun Laishun atmosphere is not right, no one greets him at the door, and no one comes to receive him when he enters the house. Shen Xian frowned, her eyes swept over the lobby, and found that the room was much colder than usual, only a few juniors and shopkeepers gathered at a table in the corner and kept bending down to say something.

Out of love for the people under her rule, Shen Xian opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing Shen Xian's voice, the shopkeeper immediately looked up at her in distress, but Shen Xian's attention was attracted by the person sitting next to her.

It was a young man in his early twenties. His long black hair was tied in a ponytail, he wore a brocade robe painted gold and embroidered red, his chest was open to reveal a large honey-colored strong chest, and his handsome face was an arrogant and uninhibited smile, and he was not a serious person at first glance. After hearing Shen Xian's words, the man turned to the side and leaned over to look at her.

With the man's movements, a crisp jingle sound was heard not far away.

Bell? Shen Xian looked at the man and raised her eyebrows.
