Chapter Seventy-Five: Sending Troops Back to Their Hometown

Guanqing smiled and said lightly, "The old man is angry, which leads to blood stasis in the brain, which prevents blood circulation, which will lead to fainting, fortunately it was found in time, otherwise there will be life-threatening worries."

Hearing this, the man suddenly turned around, surprised and delighted, knelt in front of Guanqing, kept kowtowing, and thanked him, "Mr. is a great favor, the villain has nothing to repay, if Mr. needs the villain, the villain will never shirk even if he dies"

Saving lives and helping the injured has always been regarded as his own responsibility, but I saw him smile slightly, slowly helped him up, and said lightly, "It's just a gesture, but right now, I just need your help"

The man looked grateful, slowly bowed his hand, and said, "Sir, please speak"

According to the intelligence of King Liang's people, most of the men will be conscripted to participate in the war, and he can't understand why this person didn't go, so he was very puzzled, and said, "As far as I know, all young people who have reached the age of eighteen will be included in the army by local governments, why didn't you go?" Could it be that he became a deserter? ”

Hearing this, the man waved his hand again and again, the name of the deserter, that is a big crime of the Jiu clan, he can't afford to carry it, and hurriedly said, "Sir, this is wrong, in the territory of Yuzhou today, if the conscription has been completed for five years, if there is no war, he will be sent back to his hometown."

King Liang was also stunned, since the inheritance of the Great Liang, he had never heard such strange talks, and Guanqing asked again, "Why is this?" As far as I know, it is very difficult for any militia who has been recruited to return to their hometowns before they are fifty."

King Liang also understood this, because this was the ancestral law of the Liang Dynasty, once the militia was over fifty years old, it was considered the age of the sixtieth year, and if they stayed in the army, it would only increase the burden, so they would be allowed to return to their hometowns.

Another point that needs to be elaborated on is that in peacetime, there is generally no large-scale collection of troops, and even if soldiers are recruited, one or two will be selected in the family of the second or third son, leaving one person to continue the incense.

If it falls apart today, and all the princes are planning the world, Qi Lehou would make such a ridiculous move, they don't understand.

The man knew everything, and said frankly, "Don't hide it, sir, this move is exactly the rule set by the Hou Ye?" ”

King Liang and Guanqing were confused, and they couldn't figure it out, although Qi Lehou didn't have the ambition to compete for the world, he had to at least protect himself a little, in this world, who would be afraid of many soldiers.

According to him, the soldiers and horses are in half, and while they are sent back, they are recruited at the same time, for example, he could have had 100,000 soldiers and horses, but after he did this, there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses.

King Liang kept shaking his head, he felt that Qi Lehou must be crazy, because normal people would never do this, after all, this time is different from the past.

He really couldn't figure it out, kept shaking his head, and then began to ponder, at this time, Guanqing spoke again, and asked, "In this case, why are there still very few young people in the city, and there is not one in ten?" ”

When they came, they rarely met young men on the road, and this person and several people in the pharmacy were the first young people Liang Guanqing saw, and he was quite puzzled.

The young man sighed in a low voice, "The two of you don't know, once we and the grass people receive the official conscription announcement, they will be afraid, and the battlefield that kills people is a nightmare for civilians such as us, and no one will want to go, so when the five-year period expires, everyone is relieved, and they will flee for their lives with the old and the young, and they dare not stay in the city for a long time, for fear of being conscripted again."

Hearing this, King Liang and Guan Qingcai nodded, what the man said was good, but anyone who has something to do with it will try his best not to be a soldier, and even some people, even if they go bankrupt to dredge up the relationship, they will not let their son become a soldier.

At noon, the man had always been hungry, so he arched his hand and said, "Two benefactors, please take a moment, I'll go and prepare some lunch."

King Liang and Guanqing did not refuse, but nodded in response, this man has been in the army, and wants to know a lot of secrets, he wants to take the opportunity to investigate, and when he understands, he can go and meet this Qi Lehou.

After a while, the man brought four or five corn nests, and in addition, there was only a pot of hot water, not even pickled vegetables, and the family situation was really miserable, much worse than any previous farmer.

King Liang didn't dislike it, he picked one up directly, chewed it slowly, and handed it to Guanqing at the same time.

After the man put down the nest, he picked up two and ran directly to his mother, broke a piece, and sent it to the old mother's mouth.

After a mouthful, he gave another mouthful of hot water, and the corn nest was very hard, and the old man easily choked and choked.

After the old mother was full, the man walked to the side of King Liang and Guanqing, picked up a nest head with both hands, and chewed it vigorously.

Seeing this, Guanqing couldn't bear to ask, "Brother, since Qi Lehou is willing to send troops back to his hometown, he is also a good official who understands the people's feelings, why is his family so dilapidated?"

When the man heard this, he put down the nest in his hand, and sighed, "In this world, what are the good officials, the officials don't know that the people are dead, the people don't know that the officials are rich, if the officials are willing to help the people, how can Yuzhou end up in such a field?"

Yuzhou, since ancient times, is a rich land, not as good as the land of fish and rice of Liang Mu, the king of Liao, but it is also rich in products, although the drought has been going on for many years, the people are not like this.

Liang Guanqing frowned, it seems that Qi Lehou's reputation for only caring about his own pleasure is true, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the people at all

At this time, Guanqing began to talk again, "Then according to what you say, the people are in panic all day long, and this Hou Ye has never opened a warehouse to release grain?" ”

The man sighed again, "The benefactor still doesn't understand my words, and I'm not afraid of the two of them talking nonsense, I'll tell the truth, that Hou Ye is obsessed with wine all day long, unfortunately, a few years ago, he had a serious illness, and he searched for famous doctors and never found a cure, but I am afraid that time is running out, and it was at that time that he sent troops back to his hometown.

The man knew that there were some things that he couldn't say, but the two mothers who saved him didn't have any malice, and he wasn't afraid, so he said it directly.

Hearing this, Liang Wangqing looked at each other and smiled, this Qi Lehou cherished his life, and he was afraid that time was running out, so he was so free, and now they wanted to win over Qi Lehou, maybe they would just start from here.

King Liang has some eyebrows in his heart, but there is still one place, which he has not yet figured out, that is, Qi Lehou's method of sending troops back to his hometown.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it, and Guanqing said lightly, "Brother, isn't this Qi Lehou afraid of causing public anger if he is so blatantly soliciting beauty?" ”

"It's hard to say about this matter, but after all, he is a giant, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, just looking forward to his soul returning to the West as soon as possible, at that time, life will be much better"

King Liang smiled bitterly, this Hou Ye is really a wretch, not to mention it, and he was scolded and cursed behind his back.

Since the time of the Liang Dynasty, Qi Lehou has been a taciturn person, who does not ask about the world, and his strength is at the bottom, and others say that one is one, and he does not argue with others

Among the princes of Bailu, he is a well-known good man, and the princes also like to associate with him, but now, it seems that this good old man is not very good.

King Liang and Guan Qing smiled, after this cursory understanding, she felt that they could already go to see this Qi Lehou, and by the way, they could also inquire on the way.

At that moment, he said goodbye to the man and walked into the long street, King Liang couldn't understand the method of Qi Lehou to send troops back to his hometown, and he always felt uneasy.
