"Master, someone outside reported to his house, saying that he had destroyed the Xianbei cavalry and wanted to see the master," a family member ran to Tao Qian's study and said to Tao Qian, who was reading.

Tong Yuan didn't say that he was a bandit in the cottage, otherwise no one would dare to inform him and not say anything, and it was estimated that the guests of the Tao Mansion would send them to prison.

"The people of Panlong Village, they are quite good at doing things, tell them to wait for me in the front hall, and I will go over later," Tao Qian said to the famous family.

Tao House, Front Hall.

"Tong Dangjia's recent is very majestic, destroy the cottage, the Xianbei cavalry has won a complete victory, I don't know if there is a noble cadre in my mansion today" Tao Qian said to Tong Yuan and Xiao Yuan in an official tone.

"Lord Thorn Shi is really tormenting us, I am just a low-level pariah, where can I take on the word 'majestic'" Tong Yuan made a look of panic and waved his hand and said again and again, "It's just that the group of bandits and Xianbei people have gone too far, and my brothers and I really can't stand it, so I did such a thing, and I hope that Lord Tao will forgive me for my trouble."

"Okay, when the Xianbei people invaded, I also learned about your usual behavior, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people if you can do such things" Then Tao Qian said with a gloomy face, "But Tong Master, your number is a little beyond the range I can bear."

"What do you mean?"

"Control the number of people to five hundred, and the rest of the people are all dismissed, and I can allow you to haunt the boundaries of Upper Valley County, of course, this requires you to have the same style as before."

Xiao Yuan, who was standing behind Tong Yuan, sighed softly, but did not express any opinion.

"Alas, okay, I'll go back and make arrangements" Tong Yuan sighed and said, "But my lord, many of my brothers are lowly or even slaves. How can you survive if you leave the cottage?"

"I'll give you 1,500 places to get them out of the lowly ranks, and at the same time, I will also order Shanggu County to draw you a piece of arable land for them to produce," Tao Qian thought for a while and said, "As for you to hold the official position of a soldier, it can be regarded as compensation for you, and you don't need to manage anything, usually take your men and horses to help Shanggu County manage the security, I don't want to see another bandit den in Shanggu County."

"Lord Xie raises love," Tong Yuan and the two bowed to Tao Qian.

"Alright, let's go down"

"Master, it seems that this Tao Qian thinks that we have two thousand people" When Tao Qian proposed to give 1,500 places, Xiao Yuan already understood why Tao Qian would propose a condition that was not a condition for Xiao Yuan and them.

"Yes, Yuan'er, it seems that we are all 'fans of the authorities', if we are based on our two records, Tao Qian may have underestimated that 2,000 people, but it's okay, it's cheaper for nothing" Tong Yuan laughed.

"yes, I was blinded"

--------------------- Dividing Line-----------------------

Since Xiao Yuan and Tong Yuan came back from Tao Mansion that day, Panlong Village has entered a period of rapid development, and who cares about the extra 200 people. Do you want Tao Qian, the assassin of a state, to check how many people are in a bandit's den one by one?

Xiao Yuan doubled the expansion on the basis of the original Panlong Village, and Xiao Yuan handed over the production method of mineral salt to Mi Zhu.

Although the Mi family did not dare to sell mineral salt openly, just by secretly selling it, the Mi Zhu family's wealth expanded rapidly.

With Mi Zhu's continuous financial support, Xiao Yuan even played the loser to the extreme, not only raising the food treatment of his brothers to a level that is difficult to match in this era, but also secretly creating hundreds of heavy armor, nearly a thousand light armor and all kinds of equipment.

In the past few years, Li Xianming has secretly retreated to the rear, revealing Tong Yuan and Xiao Yuan, which has made Tong Yuan, Xiao Yuan and others more and more prestige in front of the original bandits in Panlong Village.

In 176 AD, Xiao Yuan learned that Xianbei was about to invade Youzhou on a large scale under Qiu Dunyan's inform, and sent Tong Yuan to inform Tao Qian, but the inaction of the imperial court made Xiao Yuan feel deeply powerless, and in the face of the invasion of tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry, Tao Qian could only continue to implement the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness.

After the looting, Tong Yuan, in the name of Xiao Yuan, distributed the food prepared by Mi Zhu to the refugees in advance. This move made Xiao Yuan's prestige in the eyes of Youzhou people increase day by day. It has also increased the number of people in Panlong Village rapidly.

'Those who have parents in need of support at home will not be accepted'

'Those who have a wife and children at home and need to support them will not be accepted'

'If there is a brother in the family, only one person will be accepted'

But even after Xiao Yuan was screened over and over again, the number of people reached three thousand, which was the maximum limit he could bear now. After all, the Mi family does not support him without hesitation now.

In August 177, the imperial court sent Tian Yan, the general of the Xianbei Zhonglang, to send troops to Yunzhong County, the Xiongnu Zhonglang generals Zang Min and Nandan Yu to send troops to Yanmen County, and Xia Yu, the captain of Wuhuan, sent troops to Gaoliu County.

Xianbei is becoming more and more rampant.

Until 178 AD, Xiao Yuan was with Xiao's father and Xiao's mother when they were having dinner when they got a piece of news, which made him shoot the case and shout the word 'good' three times in a row.

Emperor Ling announced the world and opened the West Mansion for the first time.

"Ridiculous, confused," Tong Yuan paced back and forth in the conference hall, cursing incessantly.

"Master, since you already know the ending, why care about the process" Xiao Yuan called everyone back to the cottage after getting the news of Emperor Ling's betrayal, and sat in the cottage lobby at this moment.

"Alas," Tong Yuan sighed heavily.

"This time I went to Luoyang, and my family asked Brother Yan and Brother Li to prepare for long-term preparations, and it is estimated that we will send troops when we come back this time" Xiao Yuan looked at the next two and said.

"No"

"Let's go, master," Xiao Yuan got up and walked towards the outside of the lobby.

Luoyang, Beijing

"Marquis Zhang, I don't know if what we are asking for is... Tong Yuan reminded in a low voice behind Zhang Rang.

"It's really ingenious, how can there be such a treasure in the world"

At this time, Zhang Rang was staring intently at the glass dragon on the table in front of him, and his hand was still caressing, so that Zhang Rang turned a deaf ear to Tong Yuan's words.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye" Tong Yuan called lightly twice

"Ah, oh, what did you just say" Zhang Rang suddenly woke up, straightened his meter and asked Tong Yuan, but his eyes were still on the glass dragon.

"Master Hou, I don't know if the position of General Pingkou that my lord asked for"

"Well, General Pingkou," Zhang Rang sighed lightly, and then said, "This is just a three-grade miscellaneous general, how can it be worth such a treasure, don't fool me?"

"How dare Weichen, because my lord's group of brothers and family members were harmed by that Xianbei person, and my lord only asks for one thing, that is, to lead the army in Youzhou, and hope that Hou Ye will be favorable" Tong Yuan winked at Wen Chou behind him after speaking.

Wen Chou willingly took out a pair of glass cups from the package and presented them to Zhang Rang, saying, "This pair of glass cups is specially dedicated to you by our lord Zhang, and I hope that Hou Ye can say a few good words for my lord in the court."

"Yo, I didn't expect you to have this red heart to serve the country, yes, yes, what's the name of your master" Zhang Rang picked up the pair of glass cups and kept playing with them in his hand

"Xiao Yuan"

"Okay, you go back and listen to the letter, I will speak well in front of the emperor for your master" Zhang Rang's hand did not stop, just signaled the little yellow door beside him to send off the guest with his eyes.

"Wechen thank the Hou Ye"
