"Wen Yuan," Zhang Pan said again, "How long can you stay when you come back this time?" Grandma, but I talk to you every day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Liao said: "This time I have to stay longer, how can I have a year and a half." ”

He wants to stabilize and merge the state and pacify the border turmoil, and a year and a half is already the most conservative projection.

"A year and a half? So long. Zhang Pan was taken aback: "Didn't you make a mistake in the army and can't go back, right?" You...... As a state herd, shouldn't he be assigned to herd horses and sheep? ”

Burst! Zhang Liao squirted out a small sip of wine and coughed repeatedly.

The shepherd of the state is the meaning of managing the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven, of course, the Zhou Dynasty also has official positions such as shepherds and shepherds, and it is indeed a herding horse and sheep, and the elder brother is only roughly literate, so it is no wonder that he does not understand.

Zhang Pan saw Zhang Liao choking on wine, and he was even more suspicious: "Didn't I guess right?" Then don't tell your mother, lest she worry. ”

Zhang Liao could only smile bitterly: "Brother, if I am sent to herd horses and sheep, can I bring back so many beautiful wives and concubines?" ”

"That's just as well." Zhang Pan couldn't help but say: "Even the envoy doesn't have so many wives and concubines, by the way, you used to be Guo Envoy's former official, this time when you come back, you must go to visit, so as not to be rude, if you have to be carried by him, it is better, my Zhang family is also you literate and hyphenated, and strong martial arts, you can't be a brother, the Zhang family has to rely on you." ”

Zhang Liao nodded: "When I am free tomorrow, I will go to visit Guo Yuanjun." ”

He knew that Guo Yuanjun in his brother's mouth was referring to Guo Yi, who was too shou of Yanmen, and Zhang Liao was recommended to enter Yanmen County as a county official at the age of fifteen.

The two talked for half the night, and in the end, Zhang Pan finally sighed: "Wenyuan, you have so many brothers and sisters, you can't stay in Yanmen, and now in Yanmen, the Hu people have to loot dozens of times a year, with countless deaths and injuries...... There are still many Hu people in the county, who are rampant and domineering, and they like to rob the women of my Han family the most, and their younger brothers and sisters are so good-looking, if those Hu people know, I am afraid it will cause a big disaster. ”

Zhang Liao squinted his eyes: "Brother, the state shepherd is not a herding horse and sheep, but a shepherd, if these people are disobedient and restless in the state, the master has the right to slaughter." ”

"What?" Zhang Pan was a little puzzled.

Zhang Liao didn't explain much, and said, "Brother, go to sleep." ”

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Liao got up to practice martial arts and practice words as usual, and the women were also used to getting up early, following Gu Caiying and Su Wu to practice swordsmanship, and then they went to be busy, cooking, sprinkling and sweeping, although there were maids and a group of orchids, but Tang Wan and the women also had their own good at, Tang Wan was good at female workers, Cai Yan was good at tea ceremony, Yin was good at food, Su Wan was good at business, this is of course their talent, but it is also the result of Zhang Liao's guidance, especially Cai Yan's tea ceremony, at this time there is no tea ceremony, Zhang Liao mentioned it to Cai Yan once, she came to be interested, and buried in it.

Zhang Liao also encouraged them, Su Wan's way of doing business needless to say, Tang Wan was pondering the spinning and weaving of cotton during this time, this time they came to Bingzhou, specially brought a newly developed spinning wheel, Zhang Liao thought that let her grope out the spinning thread, and promote the cotton, which is also a great achievement, which can not only give her something to do, but also benefit her.

As for Cai Yan's tea ceremony, tea was not popular at this time, but if Cai Yan could figure out how to fry tea and cook tea, tea would inevitably become popular, which would also be beneficial to Cai Yan.

And Yin Yue's food, not to mention, at this time the food is scarce, and the method is single, Yin Yue under Zhang Liao's suggestion, if you can figure out the methods of stir-frying, boiling, etc., as well as pasta, cakes, buns, desserts, etc., it will inevitably be welcomed by everyone, you must know that the Chinese people are keen on eating.

Moreover, whether it is tea, food, or cotton weaving, once it is popularized, it will also be of great importance to the economic development of the region under Zhang Liao's jurisdiction, which can make him far surpass other princes.

Zhang Liao practiced martial arts for half an hour, and practiced calligraphy, and one after another neighbors came to see Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao also affectionately greeted a group of villagers and some small greetings, and couldn't help laughing.

The border land is different from the Central Plains, and the Hu table and chairs are very common, Zhang Liao immediately set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, and a group of orchids presented delicious melons and fruits, which made the neighbors eat happily, and they were even more amazed.

There is no shortage of orchids in the border areas, but most of the women of Xianbei and Xiongnu are more rude and strong than Han men.

Not long after, Zhang Liao's uncle also came with his younger brother Zhang Jian, Zhang Liao was busy to see, but his uncle took his hand, quite grateful for his care of his son Zhang Jian, although he did not ask what his son is doing now, but he could feel that his son was almost reborn growth, and he was very grateful to Zhang Liao in his heart.

When Zhang Liao saw his uncle's appearance, he knew that Zhang Jian didn't tell his father about their affairs, and he praised it in his heart, of course, he didn't care if Zhang Jian said it or not, but Zhang Jian was the commander of the Shadow Division, in charge of intelligence, and he could learn to keep his father tight-lipped like a bottle, which was the greatest maturity, which was what pleased him.

A group of women accompanied their mother in the back hall, Zhang Liao was in the front yard and a group of people were bragging about the old days, and suddenly the elder brother Zhang Fan hurriedly ran in, panting and said: "Wen ...... Wen Yuan,Guo ...... Outer part...... The envoy is here. ”

"What's the panic?" Zhang Liao's uncle first snorted, and then asked, "Who is here?" Outer part...... What the? ”

"It's Guo Yuanjun! Guo Taishou! Zhang Pan looked flustered.

The people in the garden were quiet all of a sudden, they didn't know anything else, but they still knew about the Yanmen Taishou Guo Yi, it was their parents.

"Huh?" Zhang Liao's uncle was also dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly asked, "Is Guo Envoy Junguo coming to our house?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Pan glanced at Zhang Liao strangely: "Guo Yuanjun said...... said that he came to meet the general of Zhengbei and the pastor of the state...... Uncle, what is a state pastor? ”

At this time, Zhang Pan suddenly felt that what his younger brother said was not simple, and the official functions that could be ranked with the general were simple?

"And the state pastor?" Zhang Liao's uncle couldn't help but be puzzled.

Zhang Liao got up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Uncle, brother, I'll go to meet Guo Yuanjun first." ”

"That's how it should be, go together, go together!" Zhang Liao's uncle was busy.

When he reached the door, he saw a carriage parked, and a middle-aged scribe of about forty years old stood in front of the carriage, with a dignified appearance and considerable grace, and a boy of more than ten years old beside him, although he was young, but his eyes were attentive.

Zhang Liao hurriedly descended the steps, hugged his fists and saluted: "I don't know if the envoy is coming, Zhang Liao is far away." ”

The middle-aged man was Guo Yi, the Taishou of Yanmen, and when he saw Zhang Liao, he smiled gently, and said politely: "Guo Yi has seen the general of Zhengbei and the pastor of the state. ”

Behind Zhang Liao, his uncle and Zhang Fan, who were about to salute, stayed there all of a sudden, a little dry-mouthed.

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Make Jun the benefactor of Zhang Liao, don't do this, just call Wen Yuan, it should be Zhang Liao who came to visit, and I don't want Jun to come here, it's really rude." ”

Guo Yi is a native of Yangqu County, Taiyuan County, and his personality is quite heroic, haha smiled: "Wenyuan, so you and I don't have to be polite, I received the imperial edict a month ago, I was really surprised, I don't want my disciple to have such a great talent, the age is weak, so he has been appointed as the captain of Jinwu and Sili, and now he is the general of Zhengbei and the pastor of the state, it is really unbelievable, I am very proud in my heart." ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Zhang Liao is young, his wisdom is shallow, and he will help you a lot in the future." ”

Guo Yi laughed: "I have heard Wang Yanyun say that Wenyuan's ability is the best at fighting, he fought in Kanto, and then beat Li Dao Guo Yan, almost invincible, and he did not abandon his previous suspicions, and saved the prince's family, they are very grateful to you, and praise me for knowing people, which makes me quite complacent." ”

Yanyun mentioned in Guo Yi's mouth is Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling, Wang Yun and Wang Gai's father and son were killed, but the rest of the family members were rescued by Zhang Liao in Beique Jiadi, except for Wang Yun's youngest son Wang Ding fled in a hurry and died in the chaos, the rest of the family members were saved, Wang Ling is one of them, Zhang Liaoen's move of revenge did make their Wang family grateful.

Zhang Liao smiled, he didn't want to mention Wang Yun's matter, Guo Yi also noticed it, and immediately changed the topic, and said: "Now Wen Yuan is the general of the expedition to the north and the pastor of the state, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he will definitely attack the foreign race, stabilize my state, and protect my people." ”

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "If you dare not do your best, you should encourage the envoy." ”

Guo Yi laughed: "Wenyuan is good at fighting, this time the state is stable, just around the corner, if there is a sending, I will not give up." ”

Zhang Liao liked Guo Yi's bold personality, hugged his fists, invited him into the house, looked at the children beside him, and said with a smile: "Envoy, is this Ling Gongzi?" ”

Guo Yi said: "It is the dog Guo Huai." ”

Guo Huai? Zhang Liao's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but look at the child, and the child respectfully saluted Zhang Liao: "Guo Huai has seen General Zhang." ”

"Haha! Good! Zhang Liao laughed and picked up the child: "What a Guo Huai, the future is limitless." ”

How could he not know that Guo Huai, who was a first-class general in the Later Three Kingdoms, had fought against Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Wei, and had repeatedly broken the Qiang Hu.

I didn't expect to be met by myself, this is a top reserve of talents.

Guo Yi couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Zhang Liao liked his son so much, and said: "He still has to carry more dogs in the future." ”

Zhang Liao laughed: "That's right, why don't I accept him as a disciple?" ”

Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Very good! Very good! ”

Behind Zhang Liao, his uncle and brother Zhang Fan came back to their senses, immediately understood something, and was ecstatic in their hearts, they knew that their Zhang family was going to produce a general, or rather, a general had already been produced! The two of them were so excited that they could hardly control themselves!
