On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival passed safely in Duanmu Xuan's chagrin, Mu Yi's laughter, and Situ Yan's worries.

On the day when the second dragon raised his head in February, the imperial court's decree had been transmitted to the border city, Duanmu Xuan was derelict in his duties, but because of his meritorious service in helping the victims, he was only fined for one year, and still stayed in his original position, in order to bring the guilt and make meritorious service, and within a year to rectify military affairs, raise food and horses, and then organize the northwest army.

The Seven Princes, Mu Yi and Duanmu Xuan, with the holy decree to Wu Jin, personally went to Juntun to issue the decree for him. Wu Jin led Situ Yan and the bolt to kneel down to receive the order, Mu Yi glanced at Situ Yan who lowered his head, smiled at Duanmu Xuan, and then began to read, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, today there is a northwest soldier Wu Jin, Puyu Hun Jin, in times of danger, stand up and save my Wu soldiers when they are in danger. ”

"Zhongxian, you can finally rest assured this time!" Duanmu Xuan looked at Wu Jin and Situ Yan, he was happy for the brother and sister from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you Emperor Longen, thank you for your humble order! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! After Wu Jin kowtowed, he received the holy decree with both hands, and his eyes were full of tears. When he was first confiscated, he was already desperate, and when he came to this city, he was even more disheartened, but he didn't expect that after only half a year, he was no longer a military household, and now that he thinks about it, everything before is like a dream.

Situ Yan looked at Wu Jin, who was already crying and sitting aside, and finally put down the heart she was carrying and smiled slightly. Now that Wu Jin has the position of this team leader, she is no longer a military household, and now she has been transferred to a good family, as long as she has another opportunity to abandon martial arts and literature, she has nothing to worry about.

In fact, with Situ Yan's character, she prefers to stay in the army, but she knows that Wu Jin doesn't like it here, so she is dedicated to helping him transfer his household. The team rate was ordered by the Ministry of War to make a book, and the team rate was no longer from a military household.

Looking up at Mu Yi and Duanmu Xuan, she could feel it somewhat. Wu Jin's military exploits may have been secretly helped by these two people, but she has no ability to repay this favor now, so she can only keep everything in her heart.

"Brother Zhongxian, now you and I can finally make friends. You're not going to turn me away anymore, are you? Duanmu Xuan patted Wu Jin, who was already crying, but his eyes looked at Situ Yan, who was unusually calm. Even he was a little moved, but he didn't expect that the most calm person at this time was the youngest Situ Yan.

Duanmu Xuan's words calmed down Wu Jin somewhat, his face was not only red, but he wiped the tears on his face. He rejected Duanmu Xuan not only because of the gap between the identities of the two, but mainly because of this person's idea of beating the little sister, of course, he stayed away, but now he can't, the rate of one team, the commander of the army is a hundred households, Shangguan is the battalion commander, and then the general, and Duanmu Xuan will have to have more contact in the future, and he can't be so prevaricated. I had to smile helplessly and beckoned the two of them to sit down.

"Meng two do not give up, has always regarded me as a brother, originally because I was a guilty body, and the two climbing, I am afraid of inconvenience, now it is finally restored, although with the two good brothers is still high climbing, but I dare not refuse to thank you!"

"Yes, Zichu, me and Zhongxian, the three of us must be brothers for life!"

"Ziheng. Are you sure the three of us are going to be brothers for life? Mu Yi glanced at Situ Yan meaningfully, if the three of them are brothers for life, then if Situ Yan marries Duanmu Xuan, Wu Jin will become the eldest brother. How can they be brothers for life.

Duanmu Xuan was just happy, and he slipped his mouth for a while, but he couldn't change his words at this time, so he could only stare at Mu Yi and smile bitterly. Wu Jin didn't understand Duanmu Xuan and Mu Yi's dumbness, but just nodded. Situ Yan turned around and was about to go to the stove room to prepare tea, so she didn't notice the calculation that flashed in the eyes of the two.

In the stove room, the bolt was squatting in the corner and crying sadly. Situ Yan persuaded a little helplessly, "Bolt, such a good thing, why are you crying like this?" ”

"Miss, you and the eldest young master have finally come out, the slave is happy! Woo! "The bolt is crying with joy, he has guarded the eldest young master for so long, watching the eldest young master suffer so much, if there is no eldest lady, maybe the eldest young master will be a military household for a lifetime, how can he not be happy.

"Yes, I didn't come to the northwest in vain this time, and it is rare for God to give us such an opportunity. Bolt, you are also reinstated as a slave now, why don't you take this opportunity to redeem yourself and change yourself to a good status, right? ”

"Miss, the bolt will be by your side and the eldest young master for the rest of your life!" The bolt thought that the eldest lady didn't plan to ask him to change his nationality, and replied a little anxiously.

"This is a good place to be with me and my brother, just like your father. Mr. Li is still the head of Situ Mansion, and it can be a good identity! And this heart of your protector is the rarest of all, and my brother and I will remember it for the rest of our lives! ”

"Miss, is it really possible? The slave has changed his nationality and can still serve you and the eldest young master? The bolt was still a little unconvinced, after all, good things came one after another, and his head would not turn anymore.

"Of course, even if you want to leave, the eldest young master and I are not allowed!" Situ Yan patted the bolt on the shoulder and gave him a firm look.

"Thank you, Miss!" The bolt knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Situ Yan vigorously.

"Okay, don't knock it off, break your head again, who will bring them tea. Bolt, I thank you, I still want to stay by my brother's side to take care of him when he is in danger, your name is my slave and my brother, but in our hearts, you are our relatives and brothers! ”

"Eldest Miss, the Situ family is kind to the slave family, the eldest lady must not be like this, the slave is ashamed!"

"Okay, it's good that you and I know it in our hearts, this tea is also good, you send it to the eldest young master, and by the way, ask if you want to keep food?"

"Yes!"

Of course, this meal has to be eaten, otherwise Duanmu Xuan would not have made this trip, after all, this proclamation was sent by Qin. And Mu Yi insisted on Situ Yan to accompany him, but Wu Jin had no choice, so he had to find a little sister to accompany him during dinner.

"Brother Ziheng, I wonder when the people appointed by the imperial court will arrive?" Wu Jin is more concerned about the fact that although he is now the leader of the team, there is no one under his command to use, and now the two tuns under him add up to less than fifty people. You have to count the families of military households. There is no one and no horses, and it is useless for this team to lead it. And seeing that spring plowing is about to begin, so much military land is not planted, what will he take to hand over military rations during the autumn harvest.

"Zhongxian, just call me Ziheng, this addition of the word brother sounds far away from our relationship!"

"Yes, the three of us have already argued. You're welcome! Mu Yi finally helped Duanmu Xuan say something, and immediately got a kind smile from Duanmu Xuan. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, for the sake of Situ Yan, a little girl, his cousin was willing to do anything. I don't even want to lose face.

"It's okay, Zhongxian has trespassed!" Wu Jin knew that although the two of them were somewhat related to the little sister, after all, the three of them knew each other before, so he nodded and agreed.

"Zichu and I have been thinking a lot about the soldiers. The border city was hit by a disaster this time, and there was already a shortage of people, and if it was 'stacked' again, I am afraid it would be very difficult. Recently, there is no war to fight, and it is not feasible to win over the people who are 'attached', only this 'disobedient' person has to wait for the court to issue a sentence. Nothing else is fine, but at this time, I don't know how long I have to wait. Tomorrow, Zichu will set off to return to Beijing, just to go back to Beijing to help me Zhang Luo in this matter! ”

"There is Lao Zichu to bother!" Wu Jin also thanked him.

"Who made you my brothers? I should go all out in this matter, but don't have too much hope, just pointing at this person who is a fool, I am afraid that the Northwest Army will not be able to make up enough of it within a year! "It's not that Mu Yi doesn't want to help, it's just pointing to the person who is sentenced, after all, it's a drop in the bucket.

"I don't know why I have to collect it all in a year?" Wu Jin didn't know about Duanmu Xuan's punishment, so Mu Yi told Wu Jin and Situ Yan the whole story, and Situ Yan had a little more affection for Duanmu Xuan for offending the powerful for the sake of the victims. Of course, it's just a hint.

Thinking that since my brother was also worried about recruitment, it would be better for her to help think of a way. But this idea also has to be tactful, she doesn't want to show her edge too early, "After the snowstorm, there must be a lot of homeless and displaced people." What a pity! ”

When Duanmu Xuan first heard this, he thought it was just Situ Yan's momentary emotion, but after pondering it carefully, he suddenly realized that these homeless people could not be recruited as military households. I was happy in my heart, but there was a flash of light in my mind, it was not Yan'er, she meant this, just hinted at it, let them figure it out for themselves, and couldn't help but look at Situ Yan, her eyes were full of appreciation and love.

Situ Yan has been watching Wu Jin's expression, she hinted at Wu Jin's words, hoping that Wu Jin can make achievements on the first day of taking office, Duanmu Xuan naturally saw it, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, waiting for Wu Jin to go to enlightenment. Mu Yi also reacted quickly, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes when he looked at Situ Yan.

Wu Jin is not a clumsy person, although he thinks slower than the two, but he quickly thinks of the stakes, and happily glances at the little sister, and then tells Duanmu Xuan and the others his thoughts.

"Zhongxian, you have a very good idea, but among these people, it is inevitable that there are some gangsters, they are used to idleness, I am afraid that they will not come to act as military households?" Although Duanmu Xuan's words were said to Wu Jin, he wanted to ask Situ Yan to help answer and listen to her opinions.

Wu Jin really fell into deep thought, Situ Yan saw that his brother couldn't think of it, so he couldn't help but mention it again, "These people took advantage of the disaster victims' distress and made trouble everywhere, and they should be punished!" ”

"That's right!" The three men slapped their thighs, of course they understood what Situ Yan meant, that is, to arrest these people to atone for the crime, and then directly sentence them to the army, and then Mu Yi will directly sentence them through the Criminal Department, not afraid that these people will be guilty if they are not obedient.

Duanmu Xuan and Mu Yi are no longer secretly appreciative, and even Wu Jin has found out, is the little sister helping them come up with ideas like this, with such an idea, the more they think about it, the more they think about it, the more it happens. I was afraid that Duanmu Xuan and Mu Yi would mind, so I couldn't help but sweat for my little sister, looked at the two, and saw that there was no dislike in their eyes, but more appreciation, so he was relieved.

"It's just that these people are arrested, I'm afraid it's hard to get together this person?" Duanmu Xuan didn't look at Wu Jin this time, but spoke directly to Situ Yan.

Situ Yan also knew that since she couldn't hide it, she also let it go, "The northwest is bitter cold, and the people are difficult to sustain, if you lure it with profit, that is, one person becomes a soldier, the whole family is not hungry, in addition to 3 buckets of black noodles per month, 50 wen of money, you can also get ten catties of meat every year, a horse of linen, of course, the whole family does not have to serve anymore, in addition to paying taxes, the tuntian planted can also be cultivated, and the output belongs to the military households." If there is more, by each team according to the market price of sixty percent of the purchase, so that not only the military households can have more income, even the team also has more income, once the war starts, these silver money can be used to settle the casualties and family members, reduce the burden of the court, the soldiers will be loyal to the court, when they go to the battlefield, they will have less worries, bravely kill the enemy! ”

"Wonderful! In this way, why worry that no one will be a soldier, and I am afraid that there will be more people who will be in the military than those who are willing to become good people! Duanmu Xuan felt that this idea was too good, he had only thought about it in his heart before, and it was not as comprehensive as Situ Yan thought, but now it sounded like an enlightenment, which made him sober up in an instant.

"Miss Situ, I don't know where you got this idea?" When the holy decree was read just now, Mu Yi felt that this Situ Yan was able to achieve honor and disgrace at a young age, but he didn't expect that his knowledge would be so different, and his good impression of Situ Yan was three points more. I even regretted my original refusal. If such a person can stay by his side, at least he can have a confidant to accompany him in the next few days. However, when I just moved such a thought, I just saw Duanmu Xuan's doting eyes when I looked up, so I had to quietly hide the thoughts that had just risen. After all, he had enough enemies, and if he lost his only brother, he would not only be walking on thin ice.

"The two of you are on the same level as your brother, so call me Xiao Wu in the future! As for this idea, it was just a random thought, just a piece of paper, which made the two laugh! At this time, Situ Yan regretted that she was in a hurry for a while, and she told what she thought and thought in her heart, for fear that it would arouse suspicion between the two, but the words had already been spoken, and it was difficult to collect it, since she couldn't take it back, then she pretended to be stupid and tried to get through.

This time, even Wu Jin didn't believe Xiaomei's words, if it was just talking on paper, how could he think so thoughtfully and comprehensively, but most of his doubts were worried, and unlike Duanmu Xuan and Mu Yi, their eyes when they looked at Situ Yan changed again. I thought she was just smarter and more resourceful than ordinary women, but she didn't want to have the talent to govern the army.

Mu Yi was a little envious of Duanmu Xuan from the bottom of his heart this time, if his cousin could really get this woman's help, he would be even higher than Liang Rengong today.

Of course, the thoughts of the three of them had little impact on Situ Yan, her original intention was to help Wu Jin, as long as Wu Jin didn't worry about these things, she didn't bother to pay attention to it. And the 1,000 taels of the court's decree are now all in her pocket, and she is very happy for a few days. (To be continued.) )
