Wang Yan's incident made Lu Chen grief.

With the arrest of the generals of the county army, there was also a shortage of officers in Pingzhou County, Lu Chen thought about it for a long time, and after some investigation, he decided to appoint Liu Quan as the captain of the military academy in Pingyang County.

The moment the latter received the royal order, he couldn't believe that it was true, and hugged and cried with his wife, and his wife sobbed and said: "Daquan, you have followed the king and fought for so many years, and now you have finally come out, and our family of three will have a good life in the future." ”

"Hey, hey." Liu Quan smiled innocently and said: "What is it to join the military academy, I will continue to work hard, and one day, I will be promoted!" ”

"You can't be like the previous General He......"

"Huh? Don't worry, since the king appointed me as a lieutenant in the army, it means that the king trusts me, how can I live up to the king's grace!? Liu Quan said loudly.

"Good, good ......"

Liu Quan made a meritorious contribution this time and soared into the sky, and then, Lu Chen eliminated the establishment of the border army and assigned its 30,000 soldiers to the Pingzhou Army.

After dealing with all this, on this day, Lu Chen took Xue Ling and Princess Shaoyang to Qinghe County Mansion first, and then went to the border city to have a look.

The current border city is no longer in the desolate and barren state of the beginning, but tall buildings have been built everywhere, many dilapidated earthen houses have been renovated and rebuilt, and the people have money, and the places where they live are also brick and wood structures.

Of course, this is only a phenomenon in the city, and the villages are generally still thatched huts.

But this also completely shows that the economic development of the border cities is no longer the same.

"Oh, friend, this restaurant just opened today, it's an authentic Tusi chef, would you like to come in and try it?" As he was walking, a Tusi man wearing an exotic hat put his hand on his chest, saluted Lu Chen and the others, and said politely.

The trade between Tusi and the Wind Country, especially the border towns, was a gathering place for Tusi people, and restaurants and other shops owned by Tusi merchants can be found everywhere.

And if you want to do business in the Wind Country, being proficient in the Central Plains language is naturally a necessary lesson, although the Tusi language is not fluent, it can also be heard clearly by Lu Chen and others.

He looked up at the newly opened restaurant, its decoration style, full of exotic style, and was thinking about whether to go in and have a look, but at this time, the Tusi man suddenly said in disgust:

"Oh my God, where did this come from, let's go! How windy country, there are such people everywhere! ”

As he spoke, he waved at a rickety old man.

It turned out that at some point, an old man with gray and messy hair, holding a rotten stick and a broken bowl, came to the front of the restaurant.

Driving away the beggars, this is nothing, but his tone and words made Lu Chen unhappy for a while, and he couldn't help but say out loud: "What? Are all you Tus rich? ”

"It's not, but we don't have so many beggars in Tus, I have met several of them when the restaurant opens today, and the border city is so rich, there are business people everywhere, how can there be so many beggars, it's incredible."

The Tusi man shook his head and said, his tone was awkward, but listening to Lu Chen's ears, he couldn't help but gasp, yes, the border city is so rich now, why are there so many beggars?

He is a king, don't look at this as a trivial matter, but it can't help but cause him to think deeply.

He couldn't help but look at the beggar, only to see that he was wearing tattered clothes, trembling, and a little inconvenient to move.

But what about his family? What about his children? It's okay for an old beggar like this to say, but why does the Tusi say that there have been many of them?

At this time, the beggar also began to club, and went away weakly.

Seeing this, Xue Ling's heart softened for a while, she was just about to say something, but Lu Chen suddenly found that there was a small sign hanging around the beggar's neck, and that brand was so familiar.

"The old man stays."

Lu Chen shouted, and when the beggar heard this, he turned around tremblingly, leaned over, and said suspiciously: "Childe, is it...... Are you calling an old man......" Obviously, he didn't believe that a richly dressed rich boy would call him out.

Lu Chen took two steps forward, pointed to a small sign hanging with a thick rope around his neck, and asked, "Old man, where did you get this sign?" ”

"Is Childe talking about this?" The old man picked up the small sign around his neck with a thin and withered hand, and in his old eyes, there was a look of pride, and he said, "This is my son's last relic." ”

"Oh?" When Lu Chen heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "I wonder if the old man can show it to me?" ”

"Of course, of course." The old man hurriedly said, the look of pride in his eyes became more and more obvious, this was the pride of his son.

After slowly taking it off, Lu Chen reached out and took it and looked at it carefully.

Seeing this, Liang Xiao couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Childe......"

Lu Chen glanced at him, then handed him the small sign and said, "Look at it yourself." ”

Liang Xiao took it, Zhao Chuan also came up curiously, after the two of them read it, Zhao Chuan said in surprise: "This, this is the military card of my Central Army......

The small sign, with patterns on both sides, is engraved with small characters on the fly's head: The Third Corps of the Pingzhou Army Infantry Army...... Li Dashan.

Seeing this, Xue Ling and Shao Yang also understood, and Xue Ling said in a low voice: "Husband, after our soldiers died on the battlefield, the state didn't have a policy to give their families a resettlement fee of one hundred taels, but, why do you still beg for this old man......"

You must know that one hundred taels of silver, at that time, was completely enough for such an old man to live, and he didn't need to come out to beg at all, as long as it wasn't big fish and meat, one tael of silver was enough for him to eat for a month.

Thinking of this, General Lu Chen returned the card to the old man, and asked quietly: "Old man, are you sure this is your son's relic?" ”

"Of course!" The old man was in a hurry, and the baby seemed to hold the military card tightly in his arms.

Seeing this, Lu Chen asked tentatively: "Then Li Dashan died on the battlefield, but he sacrificed for the country, my country, doesn't there be a corresponding decree, once verified, won't the government give some resettlement to the families of the martyrs?" Isn't it for you? ”

"I also heard that the state has such a decree, but I went to find the official master, but the official said that I had already received the ......" The old man said, shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "Hey! Don't talk about that......"

......Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately narrowed his eyes, he secretly wrote it down in his heart, but said to the old man on his face: "Old man, you are my family member of the heroic martyrs, you don't deserve this crime, I invite you to a meal, right?" ”

"No, no, no, son, it's a shame for the old man, if the son is pitiful, it will be ...... to reward the old man with two steamed buns."
