Chapter 36: Post-War Trivia
On the official road.
It is 20 miles outside the city of Yuan.
"Go back! I am very relieved that Xuanwu County is in your hands, and I hope I can hear your good news in Luoyang. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will not let you down." Zhang Zhen stopped and then said to the general next to Geng Lin: "It's a long way to Luoyang, Geng Wu must protect the safety of adults." ”
Geng Wu clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "General, don't worry, there are these 1,000 soldiers, and there is no one who dares to rob without long eyes." ”
"Feilu, generals, don't leave it at that."
The team that watched the distance disappear at the end of the official road. Zhang Zhen turned over the wolf, and the dust was far away, and a series of generals rode horses to follow.
Sit in Metaverse.
Zhang Zhen walked on the street, mixed feelings, he seemed to be able to see the prosperity of the streets in the past, the merchants who came and went, the hawkers, the farmers who ran, the drunkards, now he thought that people were empty, and the demon of war was really disgusting.
Zhang Zhen was in a state of disapproval, and suddenly, a chaotic scene in the corner of the street attracted Zhang Zhen's attention, and the bustling crowd pointed and pointed at what was being discussed.
"Alas! What a wickedness! Do evil. An old man in his fifties shook his head helplessly and couldn't bear to walk away.
"Nowadays, who is not short of food, and in winter, it will be like a year, and there is no money left!"
"If you can't support it, who wants to sell your daughter."
When I got closer, I saw a row of fourteen~sixteen-year-old women, kneeling on the hard street, the piercing pain made them tremble, it seemed that they should have been kneeling for a long time.
Zhang Zhen knew that this was an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, women had no status, and the idea of the common class was even more serious. One can imagine the fate of these women. Now that Zayuan City has just experienced war, most of the cultivated land outside the city has been destroyed by the Xianbei cavalry, and there is not one out of ten. Selling women is just to survive.
Looking at the women who were like commodities and clearly marked prices, Zhang Zhen was heartbroken and scolded the world cold. In the previous life, this age was the most beautiful age to bloom youth and enjoy campus life, and this scene in front of you? Ay!
Zhang Zhen looked a little unbearable, and just thought that he was already too guarded, a huge Taishou Mansion, and there was no maid yet, so he took out fifty taels of silver from his body and handed it to Liu Yi next to him: "You take this money, now that the Taishou Mansion is just short of some maids, buy them and arrange them in the Taishou Mansion!" ”
"It's my lord! That's what I'm going to do. Liu Yi took the money and went to negotiate.
Zhang Zhen didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the Taishou Mansion, now after the war, there are still many trivial matters to deal with.
Taishou House.
Zhang Zhen sat on the main seat, and Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Tian Yu, and Wang Feng were on both sides.
"Demou."
"The last general!" Cheng Pu came out of the column and responded with his fists.
"Although the danger of sitting on the Yuan has been solved now, but the alien race is eyeing the north, we can't ignore it, maybe this winter will come south to plunder, and your task is to repair the city wall, and now that the people are displaced and hungry, you will hire all of them, let them build an earthen wall on both sides of the northern wall of the Yuan to block the alien cavalry, and prevent the small group of alien cavalry from driving straight in. A watchtower was built behind the earthen wall, and it was also found that the alien cavalry immediately sent the message. Zhang Zhen took a sip of tea, moistened his dry throat, and continued: "Demou, I will hand over all the things of this Zayuan to you, I believe that under the rule of Demou, Zayuan will soon return to its former prosperity." ”
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations." Cheng Pu's echo was sonorous and powerful, he knew how much the lord valued him when he handed over such an important place to him.
"Demou, leave the rations that can last until the autumn harvest, and set up a few porridge sheds for other surplus food, although we don't have much food now, but as long as we persist until the autumn harvest, Linshui Village will get at least 200,000 stone of grain by then, so there is no need to save."
"The Lord is doing a great good." Cheng Pu replied.
"Daiei."
"The last general!"
"Now sitting in the Yuan, the rogues are everywhere, they are all people who can't survive, you help Demou, exterminate these rogues, if they change their evil ways and return to the right, they will arrange to build an earthen wall, if they don't repent, they will harm the people, correct the law on the spot, sweep away the dangers in the county, and be stationed in Zayuan City to prevent the alien army."
"Yes! Lord. ”
"Tian Yu!"
"The last general!"
"Guorang, this is a repeater, a bed crossbow blueprint." After speaking, Zhang Zhen took out two drawings and continued: "Now that the prince and them are away, the responsibility of supervising the production of weapons and armor will be handed over to you. ”
"Thank you for your trust!" Tian Yu hurriedly bowed.
Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "As long as the bed crossbow is made, it will be equipped on Zayuan City immediately, and the repeater must be completed as soon as possible." Oh! By the way, you hold my letter and send someone to Zhen's house in Zhongshan Guo, Jizhou, and he will understand when the time comes. ”
"Yes!"
After arranging things, Zhang Zhen handled some political affairs and returned very late.
Entering the courtyard, more than a dozen maids stood in a row at a loss. When they heard the general who brought them over say that they would be the maids of the Taishou Mansion in the future, some people were happy and some were worried, they were happy that they had heard of the general's deeds before, and they were worried that they still didn't know whether the general who was now the Taishou Lord was as rumored.
Seeing Zhang Zhen come in, more than a dozen people saluted together: "Meet grandpa!" ”
"Oh! You're still there! Let's go down! In the future, I will treat Taishou Mansion as my home! "Zhang Zhen, who was thinking about how to take down Sanhan, entered the courtyard, saw the maid who had been refreshed, and left after saying a word." In the meantime, we have to continue to march into the army, so as to get rid of a piece of heart disease. ”
Ma Jun saw that Lord Taishou had something on his mind, as a housekeeper, he still had the strength of his eyesight, and he skillfully arranged the housing of the women one by one, and this kind of trivial matter naturally could not be worried about Lord Taishou.
More than ten days!
and so that everything is basically done.
Zhang Zhen directly called Ma Jun, explained some of the mansion and precautions, and then led Liu Yi and Wang Feng Cangwolf out of Xuansu County, and went to the Belt Party, there are still two months to go into winter, and it is time to make an end.
......
Since Murong Fu learned that Geng Lin had sent people to take it, Lelang County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County immediately rushed to discuss the minister's affairs.
Benhan Castle, Taishou Mansion Chamber.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Geng is facing the ambition of the wolf son, it is obvious that you can have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy."
"Father, the son originally led a soldier and horse, and took down Geng Lin's head for his father, so that they would know that our Murong clan is not easy to pinch." Murong Fu saw that the person who came out of the list was his son Murong Su.
Just as Murong Fu wanted to agree, one of them hurriedly came out and said: "The king, no, the little prince's identity is precious, and there is no room for loss, and there is a detailed message to say that Zhang Zhen, the general under Geng Lin's command, has the courage to be unstoppable, and taking the land of the three counties is like exploring the bag and taking things, and it cannot be underestimated." ”
Murong Yu was furious when he heard this, you are obviously trying to destroy your own prestige: "Changshi, didn't you accept the benefits of Geng Linpifu, and wanted to secretly collude with him?" I studied the art of war with my father since I was a child, and I was afraid of Geng Lin. Could it be that Lord Changshi deceived me into being young and useless. Hum! If my father doesn't take Geng Lin, I'll come to see you. ”
"Little prince, I've tormented the old minister." Emperor Changshi's persuasion was fruitless, and the other ministers did not dare to say more.
Murong Yu resigned from his father, and rushed to Chenhan in the starry night to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses, preparing to resist Geng Lin's army, but what he didn't expect was that he would wait for a month.
