As the leader of horse thieves who has been wandering in Shaanxi, Jin, Hebei, Qiyu and other provinces all the year round, Wang Qinian's grasp of the situation can be said to be very keen.

And lately, his feeling is that maybe the sky is about to change again.

Because of his trade from the canal to the steppe this time, he saw many scenes along the way that he had not seen for more than ten years before.

One of the most critical scenes was that he found that the entire Jiangbei displaced people were actively migrating to Qi Province.

No, it's not just the outcasts, Wang Qinian has even seen some dock fort owners take the initiative to take all their subordinates to Qi Province.

Wang Qinian once asked a dock lord who had taken the initiative to migrate why he gave up his land and homeland.

The guy's answer was: Qi Province has a better way to live.

Since then, Wang Qinian suddenly felt that this troubled world might be coming to an end.

So it's going to change, because everybody is fed up with turmoil, fed up with humiliation.

But what can end the turmoil can only be greater turmoil.

Those who can end the war will inevitably destroy the opponent with a greater war, so that peace can be brought about.

Wang Qinian didn't know whether the final result of this change was the Northern Expedition of the Jiangnan Imperial Court, or the surname Xu in Qi Province sitting in the world.

Or, somewhere else in the Central Plains, who will emerge or even a Tartar from outside to sit in the world?

Regardless of the end result, though, escaping is the worst option.

Wang Qinian didn't want these old brothers to live this wandering life as thieves in the end, so he decided to take this opportunity to take a risk and earn a real future for the old brothers of the thieves.

In troubled times, without knowing the final outcome of troubled times, what should a person who wants a future do?

Remain neutral for the time being, of course, and then increase his own strength as much as possible!

The so-called strength is nothing more than money, food, soldiers, and horses.

Money and grain could be obtained by expanding the salt and horse trade between Qi Province and Mengwu. Wang Qinian even wanted to expand production, and when he had the capital, he tried to buy tea sellers from Jiangnan to Mengwu.

If you can establish a channel in Menggu, horses will not be a problem.

But this soldier ......, there are always too many loyal and useful subordinates, and Wang Qinian's most trusted subordinates are naturally the old brothers who are thieves.

Therefore, Wang Qinian decided that no matter what this time, he must take away all the old brothers who were captured by the Qi army, even if three Mugwu strong men were replaced by a thief.

But......

"We don't need so many Muguls." Old man Hu was a little embarrassed and said: "Don't say two for one, even three for one or even five for one, in the eyes of our general, it is also a loss - what use do we use so many Mugultures?" ”

"Master Hu laughed, how could it be useless." Wang Qinian said with a smile: "These Mugwu strong men are all skilled in bowing and horses, and they are used to fight......

"We Han people are the best soldiers in the world."

Old man Hu interrupted him unceremoniously:

"To tell you the truth, our generals have also arrested some Jurchens and Mengwu in recent years, well, there are Khitan, Xi, Goryeo or something, especially this time to fight southern Liaoning, all of them are counted, there are tens of thousands of strong men."

"But what can really be used on the battlefield is only a few hundred people."

Old man Hu shook his head helplessly:

"I'm in charge of this under the general, so I know very well that most of those Tartar strong men will be directly thrown into the mine as mining slaves, and they are of little use."

Old man Hu finally concluded:

"We only want Han Chinese."

……

Qi Province, Quancheng, the backyard of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

Xu Muhe, the governor of Qi Province, was comfortably lying on a reclining chair, surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows, all teenage girls, two of them gently shook the fan for him, and the two girls used bamboo sticks to give him cut fruit pulp, as well as the ...... who rubbed shoulders, beat legs, and pinched feet, and even a beautiful girl sang Jiangnan opera on the stage not far away.

This made the Governor look very lazy.

"Hey, second brother, you're having a really comfortable day."

The younger brother of the Metropolitan Governor, who is now serving as the prefect of Laizhou, but has never worked a day, sat diagonally opposite Xu Muhe, eating small pieces of cut apples, and exclaimed.

"You're not having a bad time."

Xu Muhe smiled slightly, and said in a tone that he knew everything was under control:

"Didn't you raise a litter of nuns on Fulai Mountain?"

"Huh? Aha......, it turns out that the second brother knows ....... ”

Xu Muhai smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Among the three brothers of the Xu family, he is the least politically ambitious, when he was in Juzhou before, he never fought with his two brothers for anything, and it was good to have a dock fort to settle down, and he could eat and wait for death.

But he was also the most dissolute of all – especially since he liked to do things with pretty little nuns in the temple.

In his words, doing this at the feet of the Buddha and Bodhisattva is really unique.

After the Xu family became bigger, in the entire Qi Province, there were few people who could stop Xu Muhai, which made his behavior even worse.

So much so that Xu Muhai has to live directly in various nunnery for half of the year, and those who don't know think that he wants to devote himself to Buddha.

"Of course I know, there are not many people in Qi Province who don't know about this now."

Xu Muhe looked at this younger brother and asked with a serious expression:

"I heard that you are going to send 200 Laizhou watering fields to Fozhu Temple?"

"Haha, how can there be, how can you say that it is given to the temple, it is for the Buddha." Xu Muhai smiled in an indifferent tone and said: "What's more, there are no 200 tilts, half of them are dedicated to the ...... of the Washing Heart Temple."

"Bastard!" Xu Muhe reached out and grabbed an apple that was still on Xu Muhai's head: "Who gave you this right?" ”

His action was so sudden that several of the maids were startled.

Fortunately, most of the maids in the Governor's Mansion were born in the court, and they accompanied the king like a tiger, and they all had some experience in facing this kind of male host's anger.

So the girls all fell to their knees, their heads bowed, so that the Governor and his brother who had made him angry look directly at each other.

Unfortunately, those who really bear the wrath do not have this kind of awareness.

"Second brother, what do you mean by this?" Xu Muhai covered his forehead and said indignantly: "I am the prefect of Laizhou, I should have this right, right?" ”

"What's more, it's not like I'm spending money indiscriminately when I make offerings to the Buddha......"

"Fart!" Xu Muhe said angrily: "Ten thousand acres! 10,000 acres of land you just gave it away with a big stroke! Do you know how much land there is in Quanqi Province now? Do you know how much land a front-line soldier can earn in his lifetime? ”

"The little master of Xixin'an is too much to play with me, can this be the same?" Xu Muhai muttered something in a whisper.

"What did you say!?"

"Didn't say anything." Xu Muhai said very honorably: "I am also the descendant of the Xu family, now the second brother, you are the governor of the capital, sitting in the province, what is the big deal for me to take 200 dumps of land to offer to the Buddha?" ”

"What's more, the ...... of the Washing Heart Temple"

"Xixin Nunnery is only allowed to stay 3 nuns to guard the temple gate." Xu Muhe interrupted him viciously: "All the rest are still vulgar to marry, if you like it, all of them will marry home, so that at least you can have some children and increase the number of members of the Xu family." ”

"Huh?" Xu Muhai thought he had misheard.

So big a temple, only three people are allowed to stay?

"No, second brother, this ......"

"The same is true of Fozhu Temple, all temples in the province, as well as other temples, are only allowed to keep three people to guard the door, each person is allowed to keep ten acres of land to make a living, and the rest of the people are all vulgar."

Xu Muhe said coldly:

"The 200 dumps you gave out can't be counted, they all take it back."
