In the first month of the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, although the weather has not yet completely warmed, the land of Xizhou, which is located in the bend of the Tianshan Mountains, has begun to show signs of warming. All the sunny places on the hillside are like a woman who has just woken up from a deep sleep, lazily trying to stretch her limbs and start thinking about what is brewing.

The Baiyang River originates from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, has been meandering to the north, the water and grass here are abundant, and the fifty miles along both sides of the river are like a green ribbon, which is unusually dazzling in the great desert of Zhunger.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou, personally led a large army to quell a Turkic rebellion in the Baiyang River valley and returned to Xizhou after the division. Deputy Supervisor Wang Yunda, who was handed over to the river pastor, then came to his eldest brother, and he came with the task of the pastoral supervisor. However, as soon as they met, they were poured a basin of cold water by Wang Da.

"You boy, including your bale shepherd, are no match for the tall when bundled together, where do you want those horses to be raised? Even if my younger siblings all vacate the kang head, it won't be able to fit the four horse legs! ”

"Is this my fault? Gao Jun's kid walks in front everywhere, he has built a stable since a year ago, and now although he may not be able to swallow these two thousand horses in one bite, there are not many left, and I can see through it: this kid is iron-hearted, he wants to spit out a horse's hoof, and I write the word backwards! When Jia Fugui heard the news, Liu Zhongmu didn't mean to stop at all, and he was still building a stable! ”

Wang Da rang the gong and asked on the day of Guo Dudu's class, and Guo Dudu said, I am not biased towards any of the five pastures in Xizhou, and whoever has the ability to receive these two thousand captured war horses will give it to whomever it is.

Doing things is like playing chess, you can't make a wrong step, you have to think of a few more steps forward, Wang Beijia said, "Don't think about these horses, I think Gao Jun's plan is not small, I am afraid that the ranch village will be rebuilt on a large scale in the future, you can think of a way here." ”

Gao Jun has been so happy in the past two days that he can't close his mouth, although the second brick kiln at the head of the village has also burned several kilns. There is no problem with the supply of bricks and labor. But Master Gao still vigorously argued with Gao Yu, Wan Shiju, Liu Wu and others, thinking that they were slow to work. These people didn't care about his words, and they just worked with their heads bored.

Seeing that the total number of livestock in Liu Zhongmu exceeded 4,000, it would not be long before the positions of these people would have to rise with the upgrading of the pasture, at least much tougher than the middle herd of Jiaohe Ranch, what else to say? Do it like an animal!

Liu Wu pulled out all the female group leaders to take care of the group, and Wang Duoding of Shanzheng Village and more than 60 young people in the village were recruited into the ranch and became official personnel of the ranch, and also received official salaries.

Gao Chang couldn't get used to Gao Jun, "Look at you tall man, like a profiteer, you have two thousand horses for nothing, and you are already too fat to walk, and you are not satisfied." ”

"You think I want it? I built the stables day and night to house the horses raised by our ranch, and Uncle Guo didn't ask me, I didn't want it. There was no way, your husband pressed me, so he had to wronged me. ”

"Look at you, you are getting more and more cheap and good. You have collected two little wives, Liu Yuru has to give you two poached eggs to comfort you! Gao Chang said.

Gao Chang didn't say to leave, Guo Beifeng brought back a letter, saying that Chaoyannian Guo Xiaoke had made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and his second son Guo Beifeng was named Qianniu Wei Record, and he was a high-ranking official in the eighth grade. Guo Zhifeng said that he was busy with official business and would not come back in the first month.

So Gao Chang squeezed on that big bed with Liu Yuru, Xie Shi, and Fan Ying as a matter of course, where is there still a place for Gao Jun! Gao Jun was happy with her and didn't drive her away.

Later, Gao Yu couldn't look at it, so he sent someone to pull bricks, ash, and materials, and took out a large bedroom outside the living room of Gao Jun's main house. "Whoever of you thinks about it, who goes to him, anyway, as soon as you push the door, it will arrive, and I won't leave." She said to Liu Yuru and others.

Fan Ying was told on the way back when Gao Jun chased her back that from now on, she could no longer be in front of others, and her senior brother would be long and her brother would be short. The beautiful daughter-in-law newly married after the second senior brother arrived in Xizhou did not reject herself at all, and only repeated the meaning of the senior brother a few times. That day, when I saw Gao Jun and Liu Yuru coming in from outside the courtyard after passing through the hall, I didn't know what to call the two of them for a while, and I stuttered a little between my words.

"High ...... Your Excellency, Madame......"

Liu Yuru made her laugh with a "plop" sound, and said to Gao Jun, "What a good woman, I let you lie to the family!" Fan Ying's face turned even redder when she heard this, and she turned her head and ran back to the house, her heart pounding. The heart said that he had come from thousands of miles away, and it turned out that he was waiting for this result.

Although when she saw Liu Yuru for the first time, her heart skipped a beat, thinking that she would not be able to be alone with her senior brother in the future, she couldn't help but feel a little lost. But it wouldn't be for her to have another choice. In addition, among these people, only Liu Yuru and himself know the details of this "tall man", there is no doubt that he is one level closer to the Xie family, and he will not be obedient to himself in the future?

She has not been deeply involved in the world, she has been apprenticed to Zhongnan Mountain since she was young, and she has been with her brother for a few years, and she has long regarded Gao Jun as her own relative. Now that the senior brother is no longer pushing her away, he is secretly very happy.

Gao Jun saw that Liu Yuru, Fan Ying and Xie were talking and laughing, as if they had been a family for a long time, so he was relieved. Thinking about the messy things a few days ago, I just don't want him to live, isn't this all in the past? also picked two daughters-in-law and a daughter for nothing, which is really popular!

Soon the official document of Xizhou arrived, Liu Zhongmu was promoted to middle herd, and Yue Qinghe, the pastoral supervisor, was promoted from the sixth grade to the sixth grade, skipping the upper step from the sixth grade and rising two levels in a row. Lu Shanglou and Gao Jun have all risen from the seventh grade to the sixth grade. Liu Wu was promoted from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, and these people were all promoted two levels in a row. Even all the subordinates have their own promotions, and they can't hide their joy. What did you do? Isn't it that there are no firecrackers in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the third is more than three nights to build a stable and not sleep?

At the meeting, Gao Jun said, "There are not enough people, and I am going to let Luo Dedao be in charge of the horseshoe room." ”

After being promoted, Lu Shanglou stopped living in Liuzhong County, and moved his family to Ranch Village, leaving his original wife to watch the old house, and only brought Mrs. Ru to come. Now that Lord Lu was seated, he listened to Gao Jun's words and said, "Lord Gao, is this matter not considered, and you are not afraid of people gossiping about Lord Gao?" Dude is thinking about you. ”

"What do you say about me? Say I'm a relative? Gao Jun has long been approved by Guo Xiaoke, and he has arbitrary power in the appointment of some middle and lower-level officials of Liu Zhongmu.

Lu Shanglou didn't know. Lord Lu only knew that on the eve of being ransomed by himself and leaving Huang Cui Tower, he also went to see Luo Dao once late at night. Xu couldn't swear that he only used his mouth at that time, and Lu Mujian was even more angry, "You TM haven't been willing to use your mouth for me!" ”

Therefore, when Lord Lu heard Gao Jun's proposal, he first raised an objection.

"Hehe, who are you tall, who doesn't know, the brother just said to let you think about it again, at least ask Pastor Yue, at least give it to the people sitting for discussion......"

Wan Shiju said, "I have already talked to Lord Yue about this matter once, and he has no opinion. ”

Liu Wu and Feng Zheng also said, "There's nothing wrong with it, Lord Lu." We also knew that Steward Luo had ink, and he must not be wrong. ”

Gao Jun said, "He dares to make a mistake, see if I don't kick him anymore!" Lu Shanglou said in his heart, it can only be like this, if he changes to his own cronies, maybe Gao Jun, the animal, will one day cut him like beating Wan Shiju, and then it will be even worse. So he nodded in agreement.

At night, Lot stood outside the courtyard wall of Gao Jun's house and called the old woman. Gao Jun happened to be in the house, and came out with a smile and said, "Steward Luo, do you still remember that I won't let you enter the hospital?" Come in and talk. ”

After coming in, Luo Dedao said emotionally, "Master Gao, I want to go, and I don't want to do this stewardship, I'm gone, who will wait for you?" ”

"You don't have to think about it, it's still important to get down to business, the errand of the horseshoe room is not heavy, if you do a good job, I still want to hand over the Yiqing House to you, it's right for you."

"Then my lord," said Rod, "I have always said that I would hand it over to my wife, but she never took over. ”

Liu Yuru said, "The housekeeper finally has a proper errand, and Master Gao and I will definitely let you travel lightly." You bring those account books, I am going to let the sister of the Xie family take them, she was born in a Zhuang family, and she will not be born by hand. ”

Xie couldn't imagine that Mrs. Liu believed in herself like this, so she happily agreed, and secretly determined to take care of the financial pass of Lord Gao. Without the consent of Mrs. and Lord Gao, no one should try to take away a penny.

Gao Jun was playing with the little girl Tiantian in the yard at noon that day, "Come, tell me, what's your surname?" ”

Tian Tian said to Tong Yin, "My surname is Gao, and my name is Tian Tian." It's my mother who said it, and I won't have the surname Xie in the future! After a period of getting along, Tian Tian no longer recognizes Gao Jun, and she entangles him when she sees him free. Gao Jun wanted to go to the kiln to have a look, but Tiantian didn't let him go, so he had to hug him out.

The current ranch village is very different from when Gao Jun first came, some of the people who moved from the village have moved back, and there are also a lot of people from Liuzhong County and Sili Baxiang, and people have seen the benefits of the villagers of Shanzheng Village in the pasture, and know that there will be a large number of people employed in the ranch. As a result, the houses in Ranch Village are becoming more and more crowded, and the streets are becoming lively.

Gao Jun hugged Tiantian and walked down the street, just in time to see Sister Yang Yao holding a shoe and pulling out a person with the sole of the shoe. Gao Jun saw that this person was none other than Jiang San, who sued him last time, and was beaten by Mo County's order last time, and now he is still limping when he walks.

Sister Yang Yao scolded while beating, "My aunt and grandmother are also instructed by others, how could they hurt you!" If you don't want him to have two big money, will you do that immoral thing? You have merit, and you want to eat white food every day. ”

Jiang San muttered as he fled, "It's always you who are involved." ”

Gao Jun just arrived, stood down and asked, "Jiang San, you don't do business, you come to this kind of place every day, do you have money in your pocket?" ”

Jiang San saw that Master Gao wanted to hide, but when he saw people asking, he had to laugh and say, "Lord Gao, you don't remember the villain, and you pleaded for a hundred less, and the little one is very grateful, otherwise you will turn on both sides!" ”

"I don't object to you looking for the Yang sisters, but you have to give her money. If you don't dislike it, go to Wang Lushi in the pasture and ask him to arrange a grass errand for you, just say that I said it. It just so happens that you have this problem right now, and others can't see that you are lame. ”

Jiang San went with tears in his eyes, and Sister Yang Yao happened to hear this, stood by the gate, and said to Gao Jun, "Lord Gao, I also have to thank you, last time it was me who had mud on my eyes and almost hurt you." ”

Gao Jun said, "Sister Yang, don't think about it, I also know that it's not easy for you to live a mixed life." If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I'm still thinking about the old love...... But you can't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I was serious. You know my current wives, one whose mind is more flexible than a crystal bead, an abacus bead who is loud, and another who pulls his sword and stares at me, I don't dare to have any extra thoughts!! ”

Sister Yang Yao was no longer embarrassed, and said with a smile, "How come!" Brother Gao, you have three 'beads' in one breath, don't say it's you, you don't even have my thoughts. She thought for a moment, walked over and whispered, "I don't know if my news is useful to you......"

After hearing this, Gao Jun said, "Thank you, sister, it's so useful!" ”

After finishing speaking, she walked up to the kiln, Tian Tian wanted to carry it on her back, Gao Jun relied on her, and carried it up to the kiln, thinking about Sister Yang Yao's words, and secretly made up her mind in her heart.

The third kiln excavated the foundation on the west side of the two kilns, although it was still a north wind at the moment, but occasionally a southeast wind blew, and the smoke drifted to the north, Gao Jun thought, I don't know how the rich man will scold their brother when he sees it.

After a few words with Gao Yucai, he saw a piece of black pressure coming from the official road in the west, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a large group of small yaks, no less than three hundred. After a while, the cattle herder flashed out from behind the herd on horseback, and shouted to Gao Jun from afar, "Lord Gao, Lord Gao-"

Gao Jun saw that it was the elder brother of Lu Dongzan, the prime minister of Tubo.
