Chapter 274
Jiang Youchun frowned, although they were all surnamed Jiang, but he never thought that one day Jiang Wenhan would monopolize the forces of the two cities, what he was worried about was that if someone instigated it, wouldn't it be easy for him and Jiang Wenhan to be suspected by the emperor because the Jiang family had too many troops?
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to invite Cheng Hu to come to Rongcheng to help lead the troops, and the minister is willing to only take care of political affairs."
"As long as Cheng Hu is willing, he can, but now there are no people to withdraw from Fancheng, you and him must have someone with soldiers and horses to continue to support there."
"Yes, Nachen will teach Cheng Hu the reinforcements in Fancheng."
Chu Xiuyu nodded and agreed to the matter.
"Chen Jia has made a great contribution this time, I will give you another promotion and make you the lord of benevolence."
"Your Majesty." Chen Jia was hit hard by Chu Xiuyu's thunderous news, and before he came back to his senses, he only thanked him casually.
Who knew that Chu Xiuyu still had the following waiting for Chen Jia.
"I will give you the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County, which is the hometown of Pingyuan Hou, and you can manage it well."
"What? Plain? I? Chen Jia pointed at himself and blinked in disbelief.
"It's you, naturally."
"Nominally?" Chen Jia asked self-deprecatingly.
"No, it's all up to you, it's given to you by me, and it's also close to the outskirts of Beijing, so let's separate it from Shengcheng. You can manage as many soldiers as you want, and you can raise as many soldiers as you want, as long as you can raise them. ”
Chen Jia's three souls were shocked, and he was stunned and didn't know how to reply.
"Chen Jia, don't hurry up and thank you." Jiang Youchun tugged at Chen Jia's sleeve on the side to remind her of her gratitude.
"Your Majesty." Chen Jia finally came back to his senses. "Does the Plains Marquis also know about this?"
"He doesn't know, but I'm sure he'll agree."
"That's right, he's ready to resign, and he must not pay attention to these things." Chen Jia pursed her lips, and her tone was not lacking in playfulness.
Although Chu Xiuyu did such a move that was both inconsiderate and under-beaten in Chen Jia's eyes, he was able to give Pingyuan County to himself, and he could be regarded as being able to stab Jiang Wenhan's heart, after all, this place has been under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family for hundreds of years, but now it has become Chen Jia's territory. What an unexpected surprise.
It's just that the plain has always been Jiang Wenhan's territory, and the people there treat him like a god, so it's still a matter whether he can win the hearts of the people.
"Congratulations to the county lord." Dexi's father-in-law on the side suddenly said hello, which shocked everyone.
"Uh. Rejoice, rejoice. Chen Jia didn't know how to answer, she couldn't imagine that a woman could have her own county territory like a man in such an era. Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
"Haha, do you know why I gave you this land?"
"Why?"
The emperor's words also aroused everyone's interest. This is something that Shenghe has never done for hundreds of years, the emperor gave a non-princely daughter the title of county lord is enough to shock the world, and now he has given her a county land, so that she is not just a county lord with a false name, such a thing, who is not curious?
"Do you still remember what you said when Dexi gave you a decree and told you that you were canonized as the county lord?"
"Back then?" Chen Jia tried hard to recall the scene when he was canonized as the county lord.
"At that time, the county lord was the county lord at the beginning, and asked the old slave what the county lord was. Is it the meaning of giving a county land and letting you be the master? Dexi couldn't help but smile and said, this matter made him laugh for a while, he laughed at Chen Jia's daughter's family and didn't want to marry what kind of good husband she wanted, but she thought about something that only men can have.
Who knows that to this day, this little girl really has her own territory as she wishes.
"I see." Chen Jia recalled that year and laughed too.
"At that time, I really wanted to give you a county of land, but you were young at the time, and I was afraid that some people would say that I would take state affairs as a child's play. Today, you have made several contributions to the country, I have made you the lord of the county, and I believe that no one will say that I am a child's play. ”
"The emperor is wise." Sun Aoting and Jiang Youchun were happy for Chen Jia at the same time. also patted Chu Xiuyu's ass by the way, although Yang Mingyuan did not speak, he also relaxed his tightly locked brows.
In fact, Jiang Wenhan also tried hard to persuade him when he joined the office, and when the war subsided, he wanted to resign. I made him the lord of Shengcheng, he has governed Shengcheng well for so many years, and he pays the most money and grain to the treasury every year, this time he wants to resign, how can I let him go, Zhongyong Marquis will work with him in the future, and we must be considerate of each other, I still think that he is the most unambitious marquis. ”
"Wechen takes orders." Yang Mingyuan's already snow-white face is now even whiter, as scary as a piece of paper.
Chen Jia sighed, I really don't know what Chu Xiuyu thinks, I obviously felt that Chu Xiuyu was also suspicious of Jiang Wenhan before, why is he relieved now? But if you are really relieved, why did you give him the plain of his old nest to himself?
Sure enough, can't you figure it out at will? Or is he pretending to be mysterious?
……
After facing the saint, Yang Mingyuan went to visit his nephews and nieces, and Chen Jia wanted to visit one or two in the palace of Ronghua, but was directly pulled out of the palace by Jiang Youchun. Sun Aoting looked at the two from a distance, could only show a wry smile, and returned to Fancheng by himself.
"What are you doing? Let it go! Chen Jia didn't expect Jiang Youchun to be so cheeky, and he grabbed Chen Jia's arm and pulled him all the way out of the palace gate.
"Why let it go? I'm not going to let it go. Jiang Youchun's voice seemed to be stimulated by something, and Chen Jia felt that something was wrong when he heard it.
"This is the palace, what does the emperor think when he looks back?"
"Your heart is unpredictable, why should I care about it. Let's find a place to solve your meridian problem. Jiang Youchun said seriously, which made Chen Jia depressed.
"He's just worried about me, so where do I want to go?"
Jiang Youchun's performance is more and more like returning to the brother and sister period of the year, protecting Chen Jia everywhere, but worrying about Chen Jia, and discussing everything with her as he did back then. Chen Jia should have felt relieved, but there was a faint sense of loss in her heart.
"Go to the county lord's mansion, you let go and I'll go by myself." Chen Jia worked hard with both hands, and finally broke free, but he didn't want Jiang Youchun to deliberately let go of his hand, Chen Jia used too much force and almost fell backwards. Seeing this, Jiang Youchun naturally pulled Chen Jia back. A princess hugged Chen Jia into her arms, ignoring the strange eyes of others, his feet rose and fell, and she went straight to the county lord's mansion with Chen Jia in her arms.
"You are now the county lord, should you change the name to the county lord's mansion?" Jiang Youchun ran along. While asking in Chen Jia's ear, Chen Jia was shy and anxious.
"Bring me down."
"I said I wouldn't let it go." Jiang Youchun stubbornly continued to carry Chen Jia and rushed towards the gate of the palace.
Alas, Chen Jia closed his eyes and stopped struggling, and accepted his fate.
In these years, people who have no kung fu fight with strong skills. Isn't that a blind man lighting a lamp in vain?
Feeling the obedience in his arms, Jiang Youchun was in a much better mood. The hand also relaxed the force. "We can't delay time, my grandfather told me back then that if you open up the second vein of Rendu, it is best within twelve hours, otherwise the sea of qi will be damaged."
I see. Chen Jia leaned on Jiang Youchun's arms and stopped talking.
When the two arrived at the gate of the palace, they mounted their horses and hurried towards the castle.
When they arrived in the hall of the ancient castle, after clearing everyone, Liuyun Ah Jiu and Xing Luo Qi both stayed outside to protect the Dharma.
After a short rest, Jiang Youchun and Chen Jia did a good job face to face, and finally began the subtle communication of true qi into the body.
Jiang Youchun's true qi entered his body, slowly accumulating and increasing, and little by little, he used his true qi to slowly push through the congestion in Chen Jia's meridians. Every time she pushed through a little, Chen Jia was sore, numb and painful, until cold sweat broke out on her head, but Chen Jia gritted her teeth and didn't snort.
I was busy until midnight before I pushed through a meridian.
"It's too slow." Chen Jia tried to control Jiang Youchun's true qi and push the meridians by herself, but her qi sea could not communicate with her, so it was naturally difficult to complete.
Because of Chen Jia's interruption, Jiang Youchun suddenly lost control of that trace of true qi, and he almost went mad. The true qi in his body was turbulent, a little uncontrollable, and he trembled like cramps all over his body, which scared Chen Jia a lot.
"Big brother. Are you okay? It's all my fault. In a hurry, Chen Jia didn't realize what she was shouting about Jiang Youchun, she only supported Jiang Youchun and looked at Jiang Youchun with a painful face.
Jiang Youchun trembled his body while trying to calm down the chaotic true qi in his body, and it took a stick of incense to finally ease his strength, "It's okay." Let's come again. ”
"You rest and rest, and come back tomorrow." Listening to Jiang Youchun's somewhat weak voice, Chen Jia was embarrassed to shirk.
"It's okay, it's better for the two veins of Ren Du to push through together, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for the Qi Sea." Jiang Youchun stabilized his mind and began the long journey of pushing through the meridians again.
Chen Jia gave up any useless attempts, emptied everything, closed his eyes, and let Jiang Youchun's true qi rampant through his meridians.
"Whew~"
It was close to noon the next day, and it was finally done.
"You try." Jiang Youchun's voice was full of tired weakness, Chen Jia's heart rippled, and a complicated feeling called distress filled Chen Jia's mind.
Chen Jia tried hard to communicate with the sea of qi, and sure enough, after a few weeks of cultivation, a faint trace of true qi appeared in the sea of qi.
"It's already done." Chen Jia shouted in surprise.
"That's good."
Hearing Chen Jia's words, Jiang Youchun's heart finally settled, and he fell asleep on his back in the center of the living room.
"Big brother." Chen Jia shook Jiang Youchun for a moment, but saw that he was breathing evenly and had fallen into a deep sleep.
He must be exhausted.
Chen Jia called out to Liuyun and Ah Jiu, and lifted Jiang Youchun to the sofa.
"Master, is Master Hou out of strength?" Liuyun looked at Chen Jia with some concern.
"Well, I'm all responsible." Chen Jia nodded, looking at the slight slag on Jiang Youchun's face, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"He really didn't mean to, right?"
"Am I taking it too seriously?"
Liuyun looked at Chen Jia, who was muttering to himself, glanced at Ah Jiu, and the two flashed out of the gate of the ancient castle.
"We're love, right?" Chen Jia sat on the ground, leaned his head on Jiang Youchun's chest, and tears slowly slipped down.
"I admit that as long as you are good to me, I am very excited, if you don't love me, don't be good to me anymore, okay?"
……
After Jiang Youchun woke up, he saw Chen Jia sleeping next to him, got up and carried Chen Jia to the sofa, covered the futon for her, and reluctantly left the castle.
"Master Hou." Liuyun chased all the way.
"Liuyun, what's the matter?"
"Master Hou did a good job, in fact, the master was already tempted yesterday."
"Really?" Jiang Youchun was ecstatic, and he turned around and wanted to go back.
"No!" Liuyun hurriedly stopped. "If Master Hou really takes care of his master, he may be entangled in the eyes of his master."
"How so?"
"The master has always disliked to be too close to people, and he likes to do many things himself, as long as the master continues to care about the master, he will definitely wait for the moment when the master changes his mind."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Youchun thought about it, this was indeed the case, he was ruthless, and turned to leave.
……
The news that Chen Jia was named the county lord was well known to everyone under Chu Xiuyu's holy decree, but the good news is that in the saints and the cities, they were all praises with relish, and Chen Jia almost became a model for saints and women.
Shenghe had just experienced the autumn harvest, and he was not afraid to continue the war, and the non-attack of Wuji Kingdom made Jin Anguo also stop. Although there is no sign of peace talks on either side, even a brief peace is what everyone is looking forward to.
Chen Jia did not build the county lord's mansion again, Jiang Wenhan did not seem to reject it after learning that Chen Jia became the county lord of the plain, he took the initiative to move his mother and the family in the old mansion to Shengcheng, and gave the huge old mansion to Chen Jia as the county lord's mansion, Xu Cheng Ying and the children made him change, Jiang Wenhan took the initiative to withdraw his people from the plain.
Those who stayed, Chen Jiadu handed them all over to Ah Jiu and Xingyi to understand the situation one by one.
In Chen Jia's words, it is necessary to do a good job in the census, because he is worried that the people will not be convinced, Chen Jia has set up a system of contract soldiers, let Xing implement it, and make it clear that people here are not allowed.
Chen Jia went to the stone house after staying in the plains for a few days, she wanted to quickly recover to her peak, and only the stone house was the fastest. Liuyun and Ah Jiu accompanied him, and the rest of the Feifeng organization and Xingluo Qi were all in charge of all aspects of affairs in the plains.
It may be that Chen Jia's census and household registration certificate have gradually settled down for these plain people, from the continuous frustration at the beginning of recruitment, to the successful recruitment of desirable teenagers in only three months.
Contract soldiers are not a lifelong system, and after enlisting in the army, they can also get a lot of military pay every month, and some young people are beginning to be eager to try.
"Xu Wei, have you ever practiced, why do you think that kung fu is not worse than ours?" Xing looked curiously at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
"Of course, back then, we also competed with the teenagers of the Wuji Kingdom on behalf of Shenghe." Xu Wei unfolded a sunny smile.
"Oh, then why didn't you fall under the command of the Plains Marquis."
"I was too young before, but this year I can easily reach the age of sixteen, and the plain has become the domain of the county lord again." Xu Wei did not hide it.
"I see, but you look more than sixteen, much more stable than the average teenager, why didn't you want to enlist in the army before?"
"It's just that people haven't figured it out yet." Xu Wei looked up at the sky. "You don't know, we were all slaves originally, the servants of the Jiang family, and almost the entire plain county was the slaves of the Jiang family."
"What?" Xing looked at Xu Wei incredulously. (To be continued.) )
