Gao Jun didn't want to disturb Liu Mucheng's good dreams, so he lay down beside Liu Wu lightly. I thought to myself, since Xizhou came back, he had only been to the firewood house twice, and Liu's complexion and spirit were much better than the last time he saw them, so he had nothing to worry about.

Later, he has become a high pastoral supervisor, as long as he has a firm foothold in the pasture, it should not be a problem to take care of Liu Yuru's life, and this problem has been reflected in the house, the village is the firewood house that he has worked hard to build, and this end of the village is a unique courtyard, this small courtyard does not need to do it himself, just move his mouth, someone will do it, is it all about the benefits of power?

He knew that when he went to Liu Yuru at night, his behavior and some words were not rigorous, and with a person as smart as Liu's ice and snow, he would never fail to notice it afterwards, but Gao Jun didn't care. And he firmly believes that even if she exposes more horses in front of Liu Yuru, she will not stand up and accuse herself of being an impostor.

As soon as she saw herself, she instinctively called out the word "Hou Jun". But then he carefully explained to himself what Yongye Tian was, and also explained the job field. Hey! Is this woman really stupid? Is it a fake stupidity? Or is it a temporary stupidity of the authorities?

Gao Jun believes: After he showed this side tonight, Liu Yuru will sooner or later be aware or doubt the identity of the tall man he plays. And Gao Jun secretly looked forward to it, what kind of way would this smart woman continue to verify her identity? And whether he occasionally set up a little ** array for her, it can be regarded as a small punishment for her "cruel persecution" of herself in the past. Thinking about this tacit game of each other, Gao Jun couldn't help but smile in the dark.

Liu Wu suddenly asked, "Master Gao, what are you happy about?" ”

Gao Jun was startled by his sudden sound, and when he first came in, he felt that Liu Jiancheng was lying there without making a sound at all, it turned out that this guy had not slept at all.

"Lord Liu, I don't have anything to be happy about, but I'm just thinking about some things in our ranch."

When Liu Wu heard this, he thought to himself, Master Gao used to ignore official affairs, but now in the middle of the night, he actually said that he was thinking about things in the pasture, which was really strange, but he immediately became interested, lay there and didn't get up, turned his head to Gao Jun and said, "What makes Lord Gao so relieved?" ”

Gao Jun has been relieved of one thing for a day, that is, what work will Liu Shi be assigned after entering the ranch, but now in front of Liu Wu, it is not good to say it directly, after all, Liu Yuru has nothing to do with him on the surface, and he is not familiar with Liu Wu, so if he says it rashly, Liu Wu may not know what to think. So he pondered the words and said, "I went to the grass during the day to inspect it, and in just a few moments, I saw many shortcomings. ”

Liu Wu thought, he has always been the de facto chief manager of Liu Zhongmu, Yue Qinghe, Lu Shanglou, and Gao Jun, the three pastoral supervisors have not mentioned any drawbacks in the past, and today Gao suddenly asked, do you have any opinions on your own ministry? I couldn't help but get nervous.

He leaned over the bed and asked, "I wonder what the adults have discovered?" ”

Gao Jun saw that he was a little nervous, and he also knew where the reason for his nervousness was, so he said, "I saw that people were floating in the ranch, and the stewards of other rooms and rooms in the middle of the day actually left their posts to fool around elsewhere, and I don't know how. ”

When Liu Wu heard this, he sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and said with a red face, "What did you see, Lord Gao!" Let's talk about it. It's just because of this heavy snowfall that he only cares about the aftermath, and really neglects to supervise the miscellaneous matters in the field."

"Oh? Could it be that Lord Liu thinks that his subordinates do not keep their duties and leave their posts without permission, and even go to fool around with the new female steward of the grass picking room, such things are also miscellaneous matters? ”

When Liu Wu heard this, his face was sweating, and he stammered, "There is such a thing? I wonder which one the adults are talking about? The lowly duty must be detected, and the severe punishment is a poor discipline of the lowly duty, and the adult must be asked to forgive the sin. ”

"Let's not mention this first, let me ask you, the official of the Wanshi Juwan Regiment was not in charge of affairs when he was not present, and the official had already noticed that he had disappeared for a day, was it sent by Lord Liu or ......"

Liu Wu's face flickered brightly and gloomily, and he spoke loudly, and suddenly his face turned red, "He is Lord Yue's brother-in-law, and he is a subordinate official...... Xia Guan is really embarrassed! ”

"May I ask Lord Liu, what is the difficulty when you say it is difficult! Did you ever feel difficult when you received your money? ”

"This, this," Liu Wu, a man in his forties, was asked by this twenty-year-old boss with a little unbearable face, and the whole posture was about to cry, Gao Jun already knew that he was still a pragmatic official, and he couldn't bear to run too much, "I know that in the entire ranch, Lord Liu can be regarded as diligent and public, try to look at the officials here, how many are willing to stay here?" Lord Liu doesn't have to be so upright, now there are only you and my brothers here, you are the elder brother, you have been working as a pastor for many years, how many shortcomings there are in this ranch, you must know better than anyone else in your heart, you might as well explain to the younger brother, you and my brothers work together to eliminate these shortcomings one by one, and it is the top priority to expand the Liuzhong Ranch. ”

Listening to Lord Gao's words, Liu Jiancheng's heart was hot, he had worked hard all these years, and he had suffered no less crimes, and he was arranged around by Lord Yue, but he was like a child daughter-in-law, not only that, but even Lord Yue's brother-in-law and the Wantuan official who held a position under him did not put himself in his eyes, so that he had been really struggling to maintain, and it was indescribably difficult.

Fang Gao Jun just said a few words, it seems to be a combination of grace and power, with the meaning of wooing, how to go on his own road in the future, if he doesn't express a position, I am afraid that in the future, in addition to Yue and Wan Zhiliu, I will have to add Gao Daren. So he hurriedly said, "Lord Gao, the lower officials have always been in charge, just because no one is in charge, and they don't know how to be clever and flexible, the operation of the pastoral ministry is difficult, and the adults are interested in cultivating, how dare the lower officials not only look at the adults!" ”

At the next 1510, he poured beans into some of the problematic bamboo tubes in the pasture and told Gao Jun about them. Liu Jiancheng said, "These days are the time to harvest grass, and that Wan Shiju wants to go to other counties, because he is in charge of the forage." ”

Before you know it, the sky is bright. Seeing that Liu Wu was still unsatisfied, Gao Jun said, "Brother Liu, don't you feel hungry?" Do you know where to eat nearby? ”

It was the first time for Liu Wu to confide his heart to his boss so happily, and he was in a very happy mood, and immediately said, "I know that there is a tavern behind the village, and I usually don't go home, I often go there, and the taste is okay." ”

"Let's go there and talk while we eat."

So the two came out and rode to the village, and Gao Jun saw Luo Dedao, Luo Quanzheng and Muramasa's daughter-in-law standing on the side of the road, as if they were a little entangled. When I got closer, I heard the woman say, "I am not familiar with you, why do you say that I will go?" And I went to Liuzhong County, I haven't been there since I was so old, what should you do if you sell me? ”

Erluo started to do what Lord Zhang Luogao ordered early on, and he didn't eat anything, and he didn't know which woman in the village was neat and tidy, so he had to ask the village to go, and when he saw Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law at the village house, he immediately let her go, and the village was not easy to refuse, but he secretly glanced at his daughter-in-law, and said in his heart that the two of you were already misbehaving, how could you hand over a good daughter-in-law to you. signaled the village aunt to stir up the matter herself.

Who knew that Luo Dao saw that Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law had clear eyebrows and was young, so he insisted on her going, thinking that it would be good to laugh with her a few more words on the way.

Since he suffered from the heartwarming feet of the tall man, the Liu family no longer dared to have his thoughts, but it did not prevent him from finding compensation elsewhere.

The three of them were entangled, and Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law suddenly saw Gao Jun coming from behind the two, and blurted out, "This is not Hou ......" Seeing that the person who came was wearing an official robe, Leng Buding glared at himself, his heart trembled, and he swallowed back the words behind.

Erluo turned around and saw Gao Jun, and said to Qian'er, "Lord Gao, Lord Liu, morning." ”

"Why haven't you left yet?" Gao Jun asked.

Luo Quan replied, "Steward Luo saw that this girl was a Mali person, and the purchased items would definitely satisfy Mrs. Liu, so he wanted to take her to Liuzhong County, but this girl refused to go, so she was discussing." ”

"You two idiots! If I were her, I wouldn't go with you, so why should I find her a companion and then set a thank you, can you talk about it? ”

Gao Jun's words reached the heart of Chen Jiu's daughter-in-law, and when he heard the sentence "Mrs. Liu", he thought that there was no lady surnamed Liu in the village, could it be Liu Yuru? Look at this tall man again, just now he secretly glared at himself and didn't call him, there must be a meaning that he can't let her say clearly, and he sees that he is Hou Jun except for his pale face and a small mole on his forehead. I wanted to take this opportunity to find out. didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he said, "No, I'm still afraid that the two of them will sell me, or let my sister-in-law be my companion, so I have to think about it." ”

Gao Jun said, "Exactly, with the help of the two of you, you can do a good job of purchasing, and when you come back, you will tear half a piece of cloth and make clothes, which can be regarded as the official's thanks, okay?" ”

"That's pretty much it...... In addition, you have to set a car, and the horse can't be ridden. I said yes and went. Gao Jun nodded, and said to Lot again, "When you come back, remember to bring that woman back with you." ”

The three of them then took Chen's eighth daughter-in-law and drove to Liuzhong County.

Gao Jun and Liu Wu went to the restaurant for breakfast. Gao Jun remembered what Liu Wu said to him at night about the problems in the procurement of horse grass, and decided to go to Weifu to investigate.

So he brought Liu Wu, brought Feng Zheng, and the three of them came out as usual, Liu Wu had already explained to Gao Jun at night, although the area occupied by Liuzhong Ranch was the largest among the five horse farms in Xizhou, and the northwest of the horse farm almost crossed to the adjacent Jiaohe County, but there were only 1,900 horses raised, which was a level of lower herding, and the pasture in Jiaohe County was classified in the hierarchy circle of the middle herd because the number of horses exceeded 3,000.

Just as military merit is determined by the number of enemies' heads, the level of the pasture depends on the type and quality of the horses raised, and also depends on the number of horses. Even the rank of the pastoral supervisor, the deputy pastoral supervisor and all the officials below the supervisor level are one level shorter than the Jiaohe herd in Linxian County.

Because Liu Wu was the oldest of the three, he pretended to be a shopkeeper, Gao Jun and Feng Zheng pretended to be buddies, and the three of them rode off on horseback, Liu Wu was a little panicked, "Lord Gao, Xia Guan has never been a shopkeeper, why don't you come, which business do you see has no old buddies?" Seeing that Gao Jun didn't follow, he made up his mind to look at Gao Jun's eyes more in case of trouble, Liu Wu had Shangguan to look up to it for the first time in these years, and he also had the heart to follow Master Gao from now on and do things well.

The supply of winter forage grass in Liuzhongmu is borne by the grass merchants in Jiaohe County. Speaking of which, just because Jiaohe County is located on the north side of the mountain, the climate and soil are very suitable for the growth of alfalfa, and the flat land of the valley is full of wild alfalfa.

Along the way, Liu Wu talked as he walked, doing his best. Therefore, Gao Jun also knows that before the autumn of each year, it is the time to harvest the alfalfa all over the mountains, and the wild alfalfa has nearly grown at this time, and the nutrients have reached the maximum. If the harvest is delayed, once the wild alfalfa flowers fall and the seeds are set, the nutrients in the stems will also be lost.

It is to harvest at this time, and find a cool and ventilated place to dry slowly. This thing cannot be left to the sun, and it will not be able to be sunburned like firewood; It is necessary to toss it every once in a while to prevent mold and rot.

Tossing and turning several times like this, picking out the weeds, it will take a month. Until the water in the stems and leaves of the wild alfalfa has been dried, but the stems and leaves are still green and green, the horse is also the most fond of eating, chewing sweet and sweet, and will not make a stomach, it is a winter must-have in the pastures. Dan to sell to the pasture, good condition can be exchanged for two cents per load. Don't underestimate these two cents, you must know that the price of goods in the Tang Empire is quite low, and a load of polished rice is only six or seven cents.

Gao Jun and Feng Wu were led by Liu Wu out of the northwest valley of the pasture, and happened to see an ox cart parked at the door of the grass picking house, and an old man held the reins of the ox, waiting for more than a dozen women to jump out of the car.

Those women were also convicts who had committed serious crimes in various places and were sent to Lingnan, jumping off the ox cart while chattering, and some were still gagging, shouting and scolding. Gao Jun saw that Liu Yuru was also mixed in, and his figure was really a pearl falling in the gravel pile, which was very conspicuous, and he could see it at a glance. She was pinching the corners of her skirt with both hands and jumping down the car very carefully, not noticing Gao Jun.

A girl of eighteen or nineteen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was reaching out to hold her. The heart said that this must be the ranch that brought them from the village together on the first day of work. I don't know what kind of work a pampered woman like her will give her, whether she can afford to eat it. I had the heart to go over and speak, thinking that it was inappropriate for me to have too many eyes, so I ruthlessly took the two of them out of the valley.
