Xiang Jing's eyes were shining with tears, he turned his head, he didn't want people to see this iron-beaten black man, tears were about to well-up in his eyes, and when he turned his head again and faced Liu Yu, his expression had become resolute: "Brother Jinu, I will never forget your kindness to me Tie Niu in this life, I didn't say it, I'll pack up now, when you go back to Beijing, I'll follow." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly and patted Tie Niu's shoulder: "I may have to stay in Jiankang City for a few days, you go back to Jingkou first, the address of my house has already been told to you, after you go back, you will live in my house first, let my mother and third brother help you settle down and buy land, and then help you talk about family affairs." ”

Xiang Jing laughed: "Okay, Brother Jinu, you are the one who wants to do big things, I won't bother you, is there anything you want me to bring back to your house first, such as letters and the like?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "I'm going home in two days, it's okay, you go back and tell my mother, just say I'll go back in two days." Oh, by the way, after I go back, help me see the Beifu Army brothers who have returned to their hometowns, if anyone has difficulties at home, don't panic in case of trouble, just come to Qili Township, Garlic Mountain Town to find me Liu Yu. ”

Xiang Jing nodded seriously, turned around and saluted Xie Xuan and Liu Muzhi, took the big bag of money, and left happily. Liu Yu looked at his distant back and sighed softly: "What a good brother, Xuan Shuai, is it really good not to take the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition at this time?" ”

Xie Xuan's expression was calm: "You can also see it, they are already starting to make trouble, using these mica cars to make a fuss, obviously to you and Xiang Jing, but actually pointing to our Xie family, at this time, if you insist on the Northern Expedition, it will only make the saint suspicious." Moreover, there is no great chaos in the Qin State, and if we start a northern expedition at this time, it may make Murong Chui and Yao Chang vigilant and try to protect the Qin State. ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Yes, and the family lords of Wu Di are not willing to put another blood on the Northern Expedition, which has little hope of success." Yesterday's military parade and dedication ceremony was actually to win the hearts of these small and medium-sized families, first, so that they could buy a large number of prisoners, replenish the population, and get benefits, and second, let them see the prestige of our Beifu army and know that we are an army that can win battles. In this way, at least the next Northern Expedition will not be so strongly opposed. ”

Liu Yu sneered: "If they support the Northern Expedition, they should call for the Northern Expedition now, instead of waiting for later." Now that the Huan family army in Jingzhou has been dispatched, we are wasting time here. ”

Xie Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Xiaoyu, don't worry. The collapse of the Qin State, that is, a year and a half of things, we also need to repair, you see, today's soldiers, are all people's hearts, they have been in the Beifu Army for almost three years, and they have also experienced a series of wars, born and died, it is time to go home and start a family. ”

Liu Yu looked at Xie Xuan and frowned slightly: "But if a man gets married and has the drag of his family, does he still want to go to the battlefield again?" Xuan Shuai, if you really want to go on another Northern Expedition, how can you recall these soldiers? ”

Xie Xuan looked at Liu Yu and said with a smile: "Can you think of such a thing, there is growth, did Mu Zhi tell you?" ”

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Xuan Shuai, the slave is smarter than you think, these questions, I don't need to say it, he also thought about it, he is afraid that the soldiers will be comfortable when they return to their hometowns, and they don't want to fight and kill anymore." I hope to take advantage of the Northern Expedition now. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "In our Jingkou, the people are strong, and the way to solve problems has always been with fists, not mouths, but there is an unwritten rule, that is, if you become a family member, you can't come out to fight and kill, because you have to be responsible for your wife and children." This principle works for us when we are gangsters in Jingkou, and it also works for the army. If the scattered army returns to their hometown this time, if something happens in the future, they want to be recruited again, what can they do? ”

Xie Xuan said with a straight face: "Although the official order will be announced after a while, since you have thought of this, Xiaoyu, I will tell you in advance." Speaking of this, Xie Xuan glanced around, most of the generals in the audience had dispersed, and more than a dozen people were unraveling the strings of money on the ground, counting whether each hanging money was a full thousand, Xie Xuan glanced back at the guards around him, and said indifferently: "I will discuss some things with Master Liu and Liu Senjun, you tell those brothers to avoid it first, and spread out fifty steps away." ”

The escort at the head of the group gave up his hand and led his men to the sergeants, and soon the stage was empty, and only the three people on the stage remained.

Xie Xuan looked at Liu Yu and said, "Xiaoyu, I remember that when I first met you, you were Li Zheng from Qili Township, Garlic Mountain Town, right." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, because I used to fight hard in the township, and I was angry, in our Jingkou place, it is not easy to collect taxes and levy Ding, mainly with fists talking, so I was found above." Because I have an old mother and a younger brother to raise, and I am not very good at farming and firewood, if I don't take this errand, I am afraid that I will not even be able to pay taxes, so I have been a lizheng for a few years. ”

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "You were rough at the time, but I was afraid that this Lizheng also relied on the help of a lot of Liu Shenjun." ”

Liu Yu's face turned red and lowered his head: "This, Xuan Shuai, you also know that I am a rough person, I don't know a few words, those imperial court decrees, the system when collecting taxes and taxes, or the fat man explained to me." ”

Liu Muzhi laughed: "That's all I can do to help the slaves." What, Xuan Shuai, this time the slave has made a meritorious service, do you want to be promoted after you go back? ”

Xie Xuan smiled: "If you are asked to be a state middle school worker, it is the one that Liu Yi did before, are you willing?" ”

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's nothing good, I see that Liu Yi used to be that official, and he followed the stabbing Shi Saddle all day long, shouting and drinking, it is better for me to be at ease." ”

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "I know that you don't want to be an official in this state capital, so this time, in order to settle the families of these new Beifu soldiers and soldiers in Jiangnan, the imperial court has added overseas Chinese prefectures and counties, and has also set up a special agency to manage these Beifu troops. ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened: "What institution?" ”

Xie Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "From now on, Li Zheng will all be renamed Li Kui, specifically responsible for the taxation of normal households, and the soldiers of the Beifu Army are specially registered, with the name of Qiu, the soldiers of the first army are gathered into a hill, and the military master is Qiu Ba, once something happens, you need to come forward to publicize the army, and try to let the old brothers go to the battlefield again, send slaves, can you do this?" ”
