Hearing Xu Shiyang's question, Xu Er was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a while, this usually very clever young man replied:

"Forget."

Xu Shiyang said with a smile: "Hehe, when you came to me, you were almost 16 years old, and you forgot the name you used for the previous 16 years in a little more than three years?" ”

"Unless the commander gives me a new name, I'll be called Xu Er." The commander of the battalion of the recruits in the predetermined position replied firmly: "The previous name is no longer useful." ”

"Xu Er, don't forget one thing."

Xu Shiyang shook his head and said gently:

"You are a Han person, and the Han people must not forget their ancestors."

Xu Er was silent.

How could he not remember his real name? It's just that since the name was changed to Xu Er, even if the previous person is dead, what is the meaning of that name?

As for the ancestral ......, he doesn't even have a surname, how can there be an ancestor.

"Xu Er, you, Xu Da, and Xu San and Xu Si, those children who followed me for a bite to eat and a way to live, I plan to let you all restore your original names."

Xu Shiyang didn't want to delay too much time on this issue, so he said to Xu Er bluntly:

"In the past few years, you have performed very well, and now that you have grown, I think you have the ability to take charge on your own, so I plan to let you all out, and the next thing is to depend on your own efforts."

"Commander......

Xu Er muttered to Xu Shiyang, his eyes full of confusion.

That should be good news, right? But Xu Er felt that he was at a loss in his heart, and he didn't even know what expression he should use to face this matter now.

In other families, a person like Xu Er, who even gave up his original name, should actually be regarded as a family child, or a righteous son.

In other words, although he is not a few years younger than Xu Shiyang, if you count it seriously, Xu Shiyang should be his father's .......

In feudal times, this was also a very intimate relationship, but the actual political status was not much different from that of a slave.

When Xu Shiyang's real son grows up, Xu Er should continue to be a slave to the young master, for the rest of his life, and for children and grandchildren.

Originally, Xu Er had fully accepted this future, and his companions with names such as Xu Da Xu San and Xu Si had also accepted this destined future.

But now, Xu Shiyang said:

You have behaved well, so you can restore your name, worship your ancestors, pay tribute to your deceased, true father, and you can also have your own children in the future, and the children will inherit your family name and become your heirs instead of the Xu family's domestic slave......s.

This time, Xu Er didn't know what expression to use to face it.

"Forget it, just when you really forgot." Seeing that Xu Er was still hesitating, Xu Shiyang said helplessly: "Give you three days, think carefully about what your name was before, or you can remember your surname, the name is your own use, it doesn't matter if you change it, but the surname is given by the ancestors." ”

"By the way, go and talk to Xu Da Xu San and them, change the original names back, I hope you will become famous heroes in the near future, when the time comes, Xu Da Xu Er's name is really too beautiful."

Xu Shiyang waved his hand, and Xu Er turned around and left in a trance.

When he walked to Xu Shiyang's door, he suddenly turned around and said to Xu Shiyang:

"Commander, my original surname was Feng, my mother called me Tiger Head, and then, there was no big name ......."

"Feng Hutou? It's really not quite suitable. What was the number one in your family? Xu Shiyang asked with a smile.

"I have two older brothers above, and I am the third."

"Haha, I'm also the third, so, what do you think of the name Feng Sanhu?"

"It's up to the commander."

"Very good, Battalion Commander Feng Sanhu, I will report to the recruit camp in three days, and you will get me the recruit training outline!" Xu Shiyang put away his smile and ordered solemnly: "My requirement for the recruit camp is that no matter who you are, if you enter the recruit camp, you will be a qualified soldier after three months!" ”

"Yes!"

……

When Xu Shiyang was busy with the new army and military production, Xu Muhe was presiding over the first meeting of all the representatives of the Wubao in Qingzhou Mansion.

Ah, it's not the first time, but the last time we had a meeting, Qingzhou had not yet been unified, and there were still many Wubao lords in the northern region who were unwilling to obey the orders of the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy.

Now it's different, although there are fewer dock castle owners in attendance than last time (some of the dock castle owners in the alliance were purged by Xu Muhe in the war), they are already fully able to represent the entire Qingzhou.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Muhe, as the envoy of the Qingzhou Festival, found some plausible reasons and carried out a series of rewards and punishments for all the foreign dock castle owners.

The penalty was not severe, and the most one was only fined two cows.

There weren't many prizes either, with the luckiest one getting five pieces of cloth.

Xu Muhe's purpose was not to use these assets, but to establish his supreme political position in Qingzhou through this means.

The effect was very good, and no one dared to question his decision, which was equivalent to acquiescing in the authority of the Jiedu envoy.

Next, it is time to throw out the most important topics of the Qingzhou Wubao main meeting.

Xu Muhe wants to clear the acres!

As soon as these words came out, it was like a round of bombardment in the crowd with several general cannons, and the entire hall instantly boiled!

Some of the dock castle owners were surprised to discuss loudly with each other, some got up regardless of their identities and wanted to ask Xu Muhe for specific details, and some were stunned, as if the whole person was blinded by thunder.

It's a myriad of forms, and the list goes on.

Xu Muhe, who was sitting at the top, seemed to be unconcerned about this, took a tea bowl by himself, and tasted it slowly - this is a good tea given to him by the Wen family, and Jiangbei can't see it.

"Lord Xu, what does this clear field mean?" A peripheral dock lord asked Xu Muhe loudly with unconcealable anger in his tone.

"Lord Fort Lee, what else can you mean by clearing the fields?" Xu Muhe didn't look at him, and replied in a calm tone: "That's what it means, all the acres, hukou, and Dingkou in Qingzhou must be cleared out of the accurate number this year, and then pay taxes according to the regulations, all dynasties have done this, don't you know?" ”

"Xu Muhe! You are not the emperor! Why do you tell us to pay taxes! The man was so excited that he was already at a loss for words.

Xu Muhe smiled coldly: "I am the envoy of the Qingzhou Festival!" With the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, who dares to say no? ”

"Besides, it is a matter of course to pay taxes and pay grain, the court was in trouble for the past ten years, and there was no tax, so this festival envoy will not care, and now that the jurisdiction of Qingzhou has been restored, you still want to evade taxes? Dream! ”

"That's the barren land that our own family has opened up by collecting the displaced people!" The lord of the dock fort widened his eyes angrily, as if he wanted to come up and fight with Xu Muhe.

"Is there a land deed issued by the imperial court?" Xu Muhe sneered and said, "I think it's your private official land!" ”

"You!"

"Privately occupied the official land for more than ten years, kept the good people as slaves, disrespected the court, and contradicted the festival to make the officials."

Xu Muhe put the teacup in his hand heavily, and said in a cold tone:

"You're so daring! I think you'd better go to the prison and calm down! ”

As soon as the words fell, a platoon of armored soldiers poured into the venue, and immediately detained the owner of the dock fort who was arguing with Xu Muhe, as well as all his relatives.

'Here ...... again'

Many people thought helplessly that last time Xu Muhe arranged a knife and axe hand at the meeting, and arrested more than a dozen dock castle owners on the grounds that the war was unfavorable.

This time, it looks like he's going to use the same trick to force everyone to agree to clear the fields.
