Huang Chong, a soldier from Nanxiang County, has been in charge for a year, and when it comes to familiarity with Nanxiang soldiers, he is confident that no one can match him.

For the soldiers of Nanxiang County, it is normal to travel sixty miles a day.

That's a lot to be proud of.

If you put aside the skills of fighting on the battlefield, just in terms of marching, this is already the level of elite soldiers.

But it was clear that the elder brother was not satisfied, and from his letter, it was clear that the elder brother intended to take advantage of this time to further test the soldiers.

Li Qiu and Huang Chong glanced at each other, and at the same time thought in their hearts: Brother's requirements for soldiers are really harsh.

Nanxiang soldiers, three meals a day on weekdays, among all the departments in Nanxiang, the food is the best.

Everyone is not allowed to do anything other than training during the day, and at night they are required to go to night school to read and write.

The weapons used were all made of fine iron.

Everyone wears leather armor.

If you change to other counties, let alone a thousand people, even a hundred people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to bear.

However, Nanxiang has a thick foundation, plus there are mines and pastures in his hands, plus the improvement of iron-smelting technology, so there is enough refined iron and enough leather.

It is no exaggeration to say that these thousand people, as long as they go through several battlefield battles, they will be first-class elite soldiers.

And it is a different kind of elite soldier, which is very similar to the Tiger Ben Army Yulin Army when Emperor Xiaowu was in power, that is, the literacy rate is extremely high.

Even the most ordinary big-headed soldier must be able to say at least a multiplication of 3721 or 4832.

Because those who can't learn will be starved and even whipped.

Only now did Li Qiu and Huang Chong understand the truth of this.

For a literate soldier is better than an illiterate soldier, and nothing else, and the mere fact that he can understand all kinds of military orders more quickly is enough to leave the other soldiers far behind.

Not to mention being able to better understand how to position yourself in the military formation, learn to master weapons faster, have higher morale, and so on.

Coupled with the rules of conduct left by his brother, Nanxiang soldiers are more and more different.

But no matter how different they are, if they are allowed to travel 80 miles a day for half a month, according to Huang Chong's estimate, although they cannot reach the point of "stepping on the general", there will be two to three percent of the soldiers who have fallen behind along the way.

Why is my brother so demanding of soldiers?

Li Qiu and Huang Chong were both puzzled.

In January of the fourth year of Jianxing, after the imperial court meeting, it began to reward the soldiers of the Southern Expedition.

Among them, Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, was named the Marquis of Hanxing Pavilion because of the most battles in the south, and sent General An Han, which was in the limelight for a while.

But the most eye-catching ones are not Li Hui, but Feng Yong and Zhao Guang.

Feng Yongqian crossed the county magistrate history, and concurrently served as the lieutenant of the Yizhou Diannong School unchanged.

Zhao Guang led 1,000 people as a Yamen general, and Li Yi and Yang Qian were the left and right deputy generals, stationed in Fu County.

One is the pastoral guard border county, and the other is the town guard border county.

Just wait for the preparation to be completed, and then go to work.

Both of them are not yet in the age of the weak crown, and the Han can hold such local power at such an age, these two are the only ones.

There is another thing that is being carried out at the same time as the reward for meritorious deeds, that is, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty decided to re-inventory the population and acres on the grounds that the population has increased in the past two years.

It only took three days for Nanxiang County to conduct an inventory, and the results were already available.

In just two years, the registered population of Nanxiang County has swelled to 30,000.

This does not include unregistered slaves.

The growth of the registered population in Nanxiang, in addition to the workshop and pasture and other places, the concealed population released by the Li family accounts for at least half of them.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the family has a large hidden population.

Nanxiang County seems to have become the most important foundation of the Li family's six rooms in Hanzhong.

Nanxiang County became Shang County, and Li Qiu, the county magistrate of Nanxiang County, became one of the few Shang County magistrates in Dahan.

Feng Yong, Zhao Guang, and Li Qiu, although their official positions are not big, they are all local real power figures, plus Li Yi, Wang Xun and others, which marks the beginning of the second generation of Han people to officially enter the political stage of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, it also means that the small hill headed by Feng Yong began to show signs.

Everyone in the Xinghan Association was overjoyed and rushed to tell each other, and for a while, it was in the limelight.

Feng Yong spent enough of a month in prison before he was finally able to get out of his cell and see the light of day.

The armor man pushed open the heavy iron door, Feng Yong just walked out of the prison in Jincheng, he felt a flower in front of him, he had to close his eyes, build a pergola with his hands, and stay in it for a long time, he was really not used to the sunlight outside.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw an old acquaintance standing in front of me.

"Hey, Huang Neichuan, why are you here?"

The white and chubby yellow beard smiled on his face, "Feng Langjun, I'm here, naturally I'm waiting for you, who doesn't know that you are coming out today?" You see, everyone is waiting for you. ”

As he spoke, he pointed behind him.

Feng Yong followed his fingers and found that Guan Ji was standing not far away with everyone, but he didn't lean over directly.

The beauty is infatuated in her eyes and full of tenderness.

Feng Yong's heart was full of joy and heart, but Huang Hu stopped in front of him, so he had to forcibly press the blazing thoughts in his heart, "What is Huang Nei waiting for Yong to do?" ”

"Your Majesty has asked someone to draw up a holy decree, please ask Feng Langjun to accept it."

Huang Hu shook the things in his hands.

"Oh-oh? Your Majesty has a holy decree? ”

Feng Yong, who was scratching like a monkey, noticed that there were still several attendants standing behind Huang Hu, and some of them were still holding something in their hands.

"Chen Feng Yonggong listens to the holy will."

Adou ran out to make trouble at this time? Didn't you see that I was going to reunite with my fiancée? It's really uninteresting!

Feng Yong reluctantly saluted, ready to listen to the order.

"In the first month of the fourth year of Jianxing, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty said that Feng Yong had repeatedly offered strange ideas...... Accumulate meritorious deeds, give the Marquis of Guannei, and send food to the capital of Yue Qiong ......"

Feudal marquis?

Feng Tu was stunned for a moment, he thought that this was the will of the long history of Qianyue, but he didn't expect to be a marquis?

His first reaction was not to thank Adou, but to look at Guan Ji.

Does this mean that Lao Tzu can straighten his waist and go to Guan Xing to argue, so that he can marry Guan Ji into Lao Feng's family?

Huang Hu finished reading it in frustration, waited for a while, and didn't see Feng Yong's order, he felt strange in his heart, and looked at Feng Yong, only to see that he was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.

He also thought that Feng Yong was stupidly happy, and he felt a little comforted in his heart at the moment, it seems that even if Feng Langjun is a son of a master, he is not exempt from vulgarity!

After all, the title of marquis is something that many people can't dream of, and it's understandable to lose his temper for a while.

Huang Hu thought happily in his heart, if His Majesty and the Empress knew that Feng Langjun was so happy and stupid when he heard that he was made a marquis, they must be very satisfied, right?

"Feng Langjun, take the order?"

Huang Hu quietly reminded Feng Yong.

"Oh, Minister Feng Yong takes the order, thank Your Majesty Longen."

Feng Yong took the decree.

Huang Hu motioned to the attendants behind him to step forward, pointed to the things in their hands and said, "Feng Langjun, look, this is the Marquis Seal, Purple Grant, Double Seal White Jade...... All of them are exclusive to princes. ”

Zhao Guang, Li Yi and others in the distance all flashed with extremely envious eyes, Feng Hou!

And it was canonized with real merit, not from the lord.

The name of the elder brother Dahan Shilangjun seems to have been implemented.

Guan Ji is with a look of honor, and at the same time a little proud in her heart, the man she likes is really the best.

Feng Yong looked at the things in the hands of the waiter, and thought to himself, I can't finish it alone.

Huang Hu saw Feng Yong's expression and knew what he meant, so he immediately said in a low voice, "Feng Langjun is not in a hurry, Your Majesty deliberately ordered the slaves and maids to wait here to announce the decree, just to let everyone know that Feng Langjun is a person that Your Majesty values. These things will be delivered to the house by the slave and maid later. ”

Feng Yong heard this, and hurriedly said, "That's really annoying Huang Neishou." ”

At the same time, I thought, Adou's face is big enough, and I don't know if he is making up for the relationship between the two sides?

"It should be, it should be."

Huang Hu waved his hand, then looked at the people who were looking at this side with a blank eye, and said with a smile, "Then the slave and maid will take a step and stop being the wicked person who prevents Feng Langjun from getting together with his friends." ”

After that, he led the servants to leave.

"Brother, the marquis, the marquis!"

Zhao Guang was the first to rush over, and he was so excited that he circled around Feng Yongtuan, swinging all over his body, as if he had made a marquis.

"My brother first got the position of the head of a county, and now he has been made a marquis, which is really a great joy!"

Li Yi was more steady, although he forcibly pretended to be calm, but his eyes revealed his excitement.

Wang Xun and Yang also came up at the same time and congratulated one after another.

Feng Tujiao was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be forced in his mouth, "Where is it, it is not my intention to seal the marquis, I hope that the Han family will prosper!" ”

Speaking of the Xinghan room, I think of the agreement with Guan Ji in Yang'an Pass, and when I think of the agreement with Guan Ji, I think of the customs of that day in prison......

Feng Yong looked at Guan Ji, only to see that Guan Ji was also looking at him with affection, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he only felt that the beauty at this time was a little more brilliant and amorous than before, which made the heart of a certain turtle flutter so slightly.

"Brother Dazhi, I can't wait."

Yang Wan, as an upright Hu man, has even begun to learn to talk big and pat on the back.

Feng Yong laughed when he heard this, "What ambition is not ambitious, it is all Your Majesty's wrong love." ”

Although it was Zhuge Old Demon's idea to seal the marquis, since Adou and Zhang Xingcai chose to send the chief manager of the palace to announce the decree at this most special time, they threw an olive branch to themselves, so they still have to give feedback.

"Besides, how can your brothers be willing to be left behind? I'm just lucky to be one step ahead, and when everyone calls each other kings together in the future, wouldn't it be wonderful? ”

"Speaking of which, doesn't the younger brother have to call the elder brother the prince first?"

Wang Xun, an honest man, also joked.

When they heard this, they laughed together.

Liu Liang, who came out of Zongzheng Mansion two days earlier than Feng Yong, first heard about Feng Yong's appointment as a Changshi, and forcibly comforted himself that it was a place of chaos.

When he heard that Feng Yongde had sealed the inner marquis, the bowl in his hand could no longer be held, and with a "horn click", it fell to the ground and was speechless for a long time.

I don't even know when my own adult will walk in.

Liu Yan sighed, picked up the bowl, put it on the table, looked at his lost son, and finally said, "You don't care about the affairs of the house for the time being, let your grandmother take care of it first." ”

"Your Excellency...... Why is that? ”

Liu Liang was shocked.

"Why?"

Liu Yan was expressionless and stared at him coldly, "If I have another son, believe it or not, I can break your leg today?" ”

Liu Liang's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he did not speak.

"Your aunt is friendly with the queen mother, and she will hand over the affairs of the house to her, presumably neither the queen nor Feng Yong will pursue this matter again." 8)
