Chapter 598: Father and son meet
The beggar Zhongxiang looked at the distant Cheng Hong's army, felt a burst of gratitude, looked back at the young men who were looking at the Tang army in the distance like himself, and shouted: "Brothers, take a good look at the family master, don't make jokes!" ”
"No!" It's a quick learner! I don't know if they learned this promise!
Before leaving, Cheng Hong deliberately gave them emergency training for a few days~ How to put the sentry and the dark pile, how to manipulate the equipment to defend the city, and how to close the door......
At least there won't be a joke about removing the latch and using it as a top bar!
Cheng Hong rode a horse and galloped in front, followed by all the soldiers, Cheng Hong was really like an arrow! After returning to Datang after a thousand years, he finally found a home, and Cheng Hong is absolutely attached to home!
I have been out for nearly a year now, and I am homesick! Especially when I heard that Li Yuanchang at home also tossed a rebellion......
Ay! I don't know what's like at home!
However, Qin Huaiyu was preoccupied and full of doubts about his future!
Qin Huaiyu came out this time and found that as a family of military generals, he couldn't do it, and it was understandable! But he doesn't seem to be very good at martial arts!
At least not as good as his father!
In the past few days, watching the eldest brother of the Cheng family deal with things, the way he comes easily, he doesn't seem to be able to learn it in his life! One was given to the beggar Zhongxiang and the Su Mo chief, but the two of them had to pay for the whole tribe......
And these two people have to be grateful to Dade! The point is not to talk about them, even if they are not aware of this trap......
There is also Chai Lingwu, after an analysis by the eldest brother~ It was a big mistake! Ay! Even Niu Jianhu was beaten up and knew what to do! I don't have any talent for this!
Cheng Hong hurried all the way, returning to his heart like an arrow, and he didn't care about Qin Huaiyu's thoughts at all......
Besides, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Hong have already made arrangements in their hearts~ There are no waste people in the world, only people who have not found the right position!
On this day, Cheng Hong came to the new city, looked up at the city with the Tang Dragon Flag, the city and the big Cheng character, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
When you come, the willows are green, and when you return, the leaves are yellow......
"Into town!" Cheng Hong enters the city......
"Head of the house, head of the house! Shaolang-kun is back! Shaolang-kun is back! ”
Cheng Yanjin stopped turning around, walked out quickly, and asked Cheng Fa as he walked, "Where are you going?" ”
Cheng Fa hurriedly said: "I've arrived at the city gate, I guess it's time to go to the barracks at this time!" ”
Cheng Yanjin turned around again when he heard this, thought about it, and sat back again......
Cheng Hong handed over the waist card, sent the army into the barracks, and immediately rode straight to the city lord's mansion!
Cheng Hong didn't wait for the horse to stop completely, so he raised his legs and kicked down, and when the horse stood two steps firmly, he rushed up the steps, and Cheng An followed behind.
Cheng Hong saw Cheng Fa waiting at the door, and immediately asked, "Ayeke is in the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
Cheng Fa nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the head of the family is waiting for Shaolangjun in the main hall." ”
Cheng An nodded at Cheng Fa, said hello, and immediately ran in with Cheng Hong, who was like the wind......
Zhang Zhu dismounted, pulled the horse's head and Cheng An's mount, and followed Cheng Fa to the stable......
"Ayya! Ayer! Cheng Hong shouted while striding in, and the joy of reunion after a long absence in his voice was almost overflowing!
As soon as Cheng Hong entered the main hall, he saw Cheng biting Jin Dama Jin sitting on the Taishi chair, with a pot of tea next to him, holding "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and nodding from time to time, looking tasteful!
Cheng Hong entered the door and respectfully began to salute: "Cheng Hong has seen Aya!" ”
Cheng Yanjin put down the book: "Hmm! What does it look like to shout and scream! Steady down! ”
"It's saved!" Cheng Hong listened respectfully.
Cheng Yanjin nodded: "Hmm! What's wrong with this expedition? ”
Cheng Hong came to his senses when he heard this: "It's all going well, the only thing that takes a little effort is Anshi City, and the city lord has done his best for Goguryeo."
The rest are just local chickens and dogs, and the army will be destroyed and decayed!
This is also impatience, if you don't wait for a year, Goguryeo itself will have to become a mess!
Moreover, the soldiers and horses on the southern front are much easier to clean up than His Majesty's line! The southern front is mostly Gao Jianwu's supporters, and there is less blood, as long as the army arrives, they surrender one after another!
In addition, the Buyeo king of Baekje escaped from the battle, but the people of Baekje were able to escape, and the mob of Goguryeo did not have many lives in their hands, and the mad people were just an example......
So I discussed with the chief manager, and they were not sentenced to heavy punishment, after all, they were all forced to pick up the sword, they were all bitter, as long as they were not particularly heartbroken, they spared their lives! ”
Cheng Yanjin nodded: "Okay!" This can be done! Although it is said that it will be a success, but there must be a trace of mercy, otherwise people will not be human!
Be in awe of life! If you don't take their lives now, you will ignore the lives of your own people in the future!
Heaven has the virtue of a good life, since they have all surrendered, then spare their lives, lest they be killed again! ”
Cheng Hong nodded: "Yes!" ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "Oh! That's right! Huaiyu didn't come? ”
"It's coming, it's coming! In the barracks and Cheng An are busy! Am I not in a hurry! I'll run over first! After Cheng Hong finished speaking, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.
Cheng Biting Jin pretended to sink his face: "I don't have any stability!" Cheng Fa~ instructed the kitchen to make something delicious, and you went and called Huaiyu! ”
Cheng Yanjin saw that Cheng sent out, and turned his face: "Huaiyu has been with me for a long time, hey!" This boy is a good boy, but he is too loyal.
I want you to take him by your side to teach him well, not to mention taking advantage of anything, at least you can't suffer! The Qin family is the only seedling, and nothing can happen! ”
Cheng Hong nodded: "Yes, I also thought about this matter, Huaiyu's character is not mixed with officialdom, and the Yiguo Mansion is still pointing at him!" I'll talk to him later. ”
Cheng Biting Jin nodded: "That's good, that's good!" ”
Cheng Hong scratched his head at this time: "That, Aya!" ”
"What's the matter?"
"There is indeed something, it is estimated that Huaiyu should come back in a while, are you coming over with the book?"
Cheng Yanjin looked at it and became angry: "What's the matter? Lao Tzu is reciting "Spring and Autumn" backwards! You kid didn't practice home? ”
Cheng Hong swallowed a mouthful of spit: for the first time, I knew that this was a book turned upside down......
I have seen it for a long time, I have seen it for a long time!
"What do you see? Don't go to greet Huaiyu yet! ”
Cheng Hong clenched his fists: "Order!" ”
Cheng Yanjin looked at Cheng Hong who walked out, and shook his head with a smile: "You don't have a big personality!" ”
Cheng Yanjin picked up "Spring and Autumn" and looked at it twice, but it was still on the side......
The dinner party was a lively event, and Cheng Hong specially called Qin Huaiyu over: "Huaiyu, we are all meritorious heroes when we go back this time, it is estimated that Your Majesty will definitely reward you lavishly, have you thought about what you want to do?" ”
Qin Huaiyu shook his head bitterly: "Big brother, don't you know, this is the road of the official, you are taking the lotus step by step, I guess I will fall before I leave!"
I thought about it, and when I got back, I would be an idler, so as not to get into the mess! ”
Cheng Hong looked at Qin Huaiyu, who was drinking alcohol: "Huh!?" How can a big husband be so unidealistic and unambitious? If you haven't figured out where to go, the eldest brother can recommend one to you here~"
Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up: "Really?" Big brother, what's the location? ”
Qin Huaiyu heard Cheng Hong say the location, it was definitely suitable, otherwise he would not have opened his mouth! is young, if you can have some careers, who wants to be a rice worm!
Cheng Hong smiled: "Don't worry, this deal can not only allow you to make a career, but also make Your Majesty look down on you!" ”
"What's the matter?" Qin Huaiyu became interested.
"Look at our Datang, among all the departments, which department has the most people and the most serious deficit?" Cheng Hong said while tearing the chicken for a long time, unaware that Cheng Yanjin was already standing behind him!
Qin Huaiyu saw it, and was just about to say hello when Cheng Yanjin stopped him! When Qin Huaiyu heard Cheng Hong's question, he thought about it for a while!
Originally, all the tax revenue was spent on disaster relief, construction, and the DPRK and China......
In the early years of Zhenguan, there was even a period of time when the entire Tang Dynasty was in deficit, until Cheng Honglai ......
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Biting Jin thought it through their minds~ It seems that there is really no deficit that is too serious!
Cheng Hong threw away the chicken bones in his hand and said slowly: "Post station!" The entire Datang is the most money-losing post station! The annual horse money plus the official's rice, as well as the official's salary, plus the messy maintenance, people eat horses and feed them......
This is where Datang's deficit is most serious! ”
"Stinky boy~ The post station can't move! If so, how will the decree be reached? ”
Cheng Hong turned around: "Aya?!" ”
Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down!
"Listen to the meaning of what my son said just now~ It seems that the idea of hitting the post station?"
Cheng Hong nodded, this post station was originally a money-making thing, but I don't know why it has been in deficit year after year! Don't ask him to run a deficit, self-sufficiency should always be achieved! But it's hard to even be self-sufficient!
"Tell me what you think!" Cheng Yanjin is also interested! Cheng Yanjin knows that ~ his eldest son has something in his head, but sometimes the imagination is too ethereal, and he still needs to press it himself!
Cheng Hong said: "The deficit of this post station is nothing more than two aspects~ one is the repair of houses, and the other is that people eat horses and feed!"
Now what leads to it is ~ the entire Tang River Qinghai Yan, life is getting better and better, the rice in the former post station is not enough for a small landlord's income for a year!
This person's heart is unbalanced, and he is a little less attentive to doing things! I heard that the post stations in some remote places have been turned into vegetable fields! There are not many houses left~
Anyway, there are no people to go, so it simply becomes a vegetable patch, and it can also be subsidized for some household use! As a result, the more you get to the end, the more unsustainable it becomes! ”
"So what?" Cheng Yanjin asked, and Qin Huaiyu also looked at Cheng Hong with a curious expression.
