Chapter 189: Centralization

Let's say that after Gongsun Jian was injured and returned to the general's mansion to recuperate, although he became like this, he still had to pass the New Year, and several maids placed him in the hall, covered with a thick quilt, and there were two stoves around his feet, which was very warm.

Gongsun Jian's fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, accompanied by a burst of ticking sounds, he looked at the maids and servants who came and went, it was so lively, the big round table in front of the hall that could seat more than 20 people had been carried down, and the servants moved up to small square tables one by one, and kept serving food from the kitchen and putting it on the square table.

Gongsun Jian grabbed a maid and asked, "Are there many people in the General's Mansion tonight, why do you set so many tables?" ”

The maid was suddenly grabbed by the young general's arm, and her little red face, which was frozen by the wind and snow, became even more translucent, and there was an indescribable graceful beauty.

"General Gongsun doesn't know that today Lord Yu wants us homeless maidservants who have no relatives to reunite with to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together."

After hearing this, Gongsun Jian smiled and took out a small silver ticket from his arms, "I said why there are so many tables, this is for you, it can be regarded as a reward for your hard work this year." ”

Unexpectedly, the woman waved her hand, and she gave a blessing and said, "General Gongsun, the slave and maid can't be asked anymore, Lord Yu has already given the New Year's reward." ”

"If he gives it to you, you will take it, and save him any money."

At this time, Yu Youjun, Lin Qiufeng and Liu Qingyun, who rushed back from Pingzhou a few days earlier, the three of them appeared in front of the door together, Yu Youjun came over and took the silver ticket of Gongsun Jian and stuffed it to this maid, he chuckled: "Now General Gongsun is the richest person in our general's mansion, you don't want his silver ticket, whose silver ticket do you want?" ”

The maid also covered her mouth and snickered, she was grateful to Dade and glanced at the big people present, like herself, who was homeless and had to be a maid, it was easy to be bullied by the master's family, and even some of them would be played with by the gentlemen in the house, I heard that there was no maid in the Taishou Mansion who had not suffered from the poisonous hands of the prince.

And this group of maids in the General's Mansion she feels that she is the happiest maid in the whole world, the guys on weekdays are not heavy, and those big people have never treated you well, and even some such as Gongsun and Yu Er, they will also shush you and ask for warmth, in addition to the monthly money, when they see you sick and tired, they will give extra money.

When Gongsun Jian heard Yu Youjun say this, he pursed his lips, "Come on, it's good enough that I'm not the poorest, and I'm the richest, pull it down." You haven't given me this year's annual reward yet, where did I get the silver, Uncle Lin wrapped me a big red envelope, and I didn't see you say anything, so I will make others happy. ”

Yu Youjun was dumbfounded, he said "hey", and said: "I didn't expect you kid to be so angry, what's wrong, Lao Tzu, as your top boss, doesn't give you a red envelope, did I violate the law of the Great Zhou or the holy decree?" ”

Yu Youjun said that he was going to punch this kid, and after thinking about it, he would forget if he was injured, so he pointed to Gongsun Jian, whose face was still so sinister, and said: "Don't hold back the water for Lao Tzu, I know what kind of fart you want to fart if you pout, Lao Liu, you calculate how much silver he has for our General Gongsun now." ”

Liu Qingyun came out with a smile, he also stretched out ten fingers with care, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "The disposable silver money is the red envelope that Brother Lin gave him......

Lin Qiufeng couldn't help but let out a "heh" on the side.

Gongsun Jian's mouth was about to rise to the sky, "I'll just say it, in addition to the silver Uncle Lin gave me, I still have fart money." ”

If it weren't for Liu Qingyun, who was also in his thirties, he really wanted to kick this knotted envoy's ass to let him know why the flowers were so red.

Yu Youjun tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Lao Liu, say all, all!" ”

"Didn't you ask me to say silver money, there is so much money for the grandson of the grandson, okay, okay, don't be like this, I honestly say it's not good."

Liu Qingyun saw that Yu Youjun couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he didn't laugh at this envoy, he said carefully: "Song Qihuan just came to the mansion again, but he seems to have something urgent, just said to thank Gongsun Boy on his behalf, give you some gifts and leave." ”

"What gift? Worth the money? ”

Liu Qingyun glanced at the kid, "There are five good land deeds in the Zhongzhou market, fifty feet of cloth, three hundred catties of grain, oil, rice and noodles, and about twenty pieces of various blue and white porcelain." ”

"My good ......"

Gongsun Jian was also stunned when he heard it, not to mention the cloth grain and oil, just daily necessities, and not to mention the blue and white porcelain, but it was worth a few thousand taels of silver, and the most jaw-dropping thing for him was the title deeds of the five best locations, which were assets that some people couldn't change even if they died.

Gongsun Jian, who is used to living a poor life, has never felt so rich in his life, as if he was rich overnight.

Yu Youjun patted him on the shoulder, "I have kept the blue and white porcelain and the title deed for you, the grain, oil, rice and noodles have been put in the kitchen, and the cloth has been distributed to the maids to make some new clothes for the winter." ”

Gongsun Jian tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a stiff smile, "Then what else do I have left?" ”

Yu Youjun smiled, glanced at Liu Qingyun, and the two took out a red envelope from their arms that was no less thick than Lin Qiufeng's, and stuffed it into Gongsun Jian's hand.

"You still have this."

If it weren't for his inconvenient legs and feet lying on the chair, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

At night, the entire General's Mansion is brightly lit, or the entire Zhongzhou City is as bright as day.

After experiencing so many things during the day, the people of the General's Mansion can finally have a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at nightfall.

Gongsun Jian sat on the side of the hall and looked around, he still underestimated the number of square tables in the front yard of the General's Mansion, in the hall sat the generals who were born and died together and the first-class maids of the General's Mansion, and there were no less than seven or eight tables outside the hall, all of which were maids and servants in new clothes.

The Spring Festival delicacies have already filled the entire table, and after the last few hot soups are served, everyone is busy with wine glasses and chopsticks.

Liu Qingyun held the wine glass and asked in a low voice, "When will you go south?" ”

This Liu Qingyun has long been idle in Pingzhou, most of them are literati who dance and write, he is out of place with those civil officials, according to his words, there are a lot of civil officials who have a lot of, and they have to compose a few poems when they drink wine.

Gongsun Jian smiled, "General Liu's deputy jiedu makes it uncomfortable?" This is one of the most high-ranking officials in the entire dynasty, and I don't want to do it yet. ”

"Go, go, what do you know about a little fart, now we want a fart of high-ranking officials Houlu, if there is turmoil today, all forces are emerging in endlessly, there are millions of troops in the south, and there are hungry wolves in Xishu in the west, and now is not the time to enjoy happiness, I am afraid that the soldiers will not have a war, and they will all lose their fighting spirit."

"Don't worry, it won't."

Yu Youjun took a sip of wine and continued: "Since there is no war, and the emperor has not issued an order, I estimate that when Xishu detains Yingchuan Road, see if Tong Yanhai and Pingxi General Liu Feiyi can hold it, if they hold it, we estimate that we will have to go south, if they can't hold it, then we will go to Yingchuan Road for reinforcements, but according to my guess, Song Rong may also go to any of these two battlefields." ”

Liu Qingyun deeply agreed, now the two armies in Beijiang Province are like this, Yu Youjun and Song Rong are a wooden plank, where to make up for the leakage, but Song Rong's plank is too worn, and it can only be repaired for a hole that is not very big, and in the end, it is still up to the Zhongzhou Army to provoke the girder.

"Don't forget, in addition to the holidays, we must maintain high-intensity training every day, our original Huai'an Army's low-level non-commissioned soldiers have been raised by one level, the commander of the army is the standard commander, the standard commander is the tun chief, and the tun commander is not moving, and the training intensity of the Huai'an Army will be upgraded to another level, and the current Zhongzhou Army will be built into an all-round division."

Liu Qingyun frowned, he opened his mouth, and finally took a bite of food to eat.

Yu Youjun has known him for so many years, how can he not know what he thinks, it is nothing more than whether the new army except for the old Huai'an army will be unconvinced.

Yu Youjun shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, Lao Liu, the first to raise a group of people is to make that group of recruits unconvinced, if they also want to be promoted, then give Lao Tzu good training, maintain a good mentality that can go into battle at any time to kill the enemy, people who are soldiers and fights are nothing more than for power and money, as long as they are willing to work hard, ask for money and people to ask for power, I can give it, if there is that kind of opportunistic people, drive out of the Zhongzhou Army and never hire them, this sentence has always been effective." ”

Saying that, Yu Youjun stood up, originally Liu Qingyun subconsciously lowered his voice, just didn't want others to hear too many secrets, but Yu Youjun's reply was very loud, and the soldiers sitting in the entire hall could hear it.

Yu Youjun raised his glass, "I heard everything I said just now, no matter whether you came first or later, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, give me hard work, and please bring this sentence to the soldiers below, as long as you are willing to work hard, then you have everything, I will do it first as a respect!" ”

"To the general!"

"To your lordship!"

Two different voices came out, the group of people who shouted at General Yu were all old people, and the group of people who shouted at Lord Yu were all latecomers.

For a while, the two factions had a bit of a-for-tat gunpowder smell.

Gongsun Jian drank wine and ignored them, then Lin Qiufeng was a guard-type character and did not participate in the battle between the two factions, the two looked at each other, smiled and clinked glasses.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Yu Youjun was a little drunk, he hugged Gongsun Jian, and asked in his ear, "When did the doctor say your feet will be fine?" ”

"The doctor didn't say this, he just said that it would take a hundred days to hurt my muscles and bones, and after I came back today, Uncle Lin gave me a vein, I can feel that I have made the upper force, it is estimated that I will wait for two more days, and it will not be a problem to walk on the ground, and the doctor is not as good as Uncle Lin."

Yu Youjun nodded, and said to Lin Qiufeng: "Brother Lin, you have worked hard in the past two days, I want to take Gongsun Jian to Dongzhou as soon as possible." ”

Lin Qiufeng said indifferently: "Don't worry." ”

Gongsun Jian was puzzled, he knew that Yu Youjun had said last time that he would take him to Dongzhou to feel the atmosphere of the scribes, at first he thought that General Yu had something to do, and he happened to pick him up by the way, he didn't care, he just went, but now it sounds like he went to Dongzhou for himself.

Gongsun Jian asked, "General Yu, what are you doing with me going to Dongzhou, won't you really feel the atmosphere of a Raushzi scribe?" ”

Yu Youjun shook his head, "Ji Xuefu is there, I'll take you to Ji Xuefu to study." ”

When Gongsun Jian heard this, his hands trembled, and the chopsticks fell to the ground, he picked them up in a daze, and continued to use them without feeling dirty, "Ji Xuefu?" Where are the puppies going to school? ”

Yu Youjun nodded and said, "Exactly, it just so happens that you two old friends can also meet each other, and you can also learn knowledge inside." ”

"Good!"

Liu Qingyun was puzzled, "Who is the puppy?" ”

"A friend of mine! His name is Zhao Goutong, and he said that he was going to Ji to go to the school to practice, and he would be a strategist for me in the future! ”

Gongsun Jian couldn't wait to say, the pair of feet that were a little difficult to stand up were about to get up from the ground, and Lin Qiufeng quietly pressed down his knees, which didn't make him hurt more.

Liu Qingyun laughed, obviously in a very good mood, the Zhongzhou Army now has everything, but there is a shortage of strategists, it is rumored that there are Confucian sages in Naji School to teach, and the students who come out of it, no matter how bad they are, they are also extraordinary in writing and excellent in writing.
