Li Zicheng is famous for his murder, and the squires of various counties are in line with the principle that friends of the dead will not die of the poor way, and after they go back, they will try their best to raise food, and prepare to send away Li Zicheng, the evil star, so that he can harm others.

Honest people handed over all the grain in their warehouses, and those who were not honest and had a lively mind called on the people of the county to donate grain to save their lives.

In order to arouse the enthusiasm of the people, the gentry in the county took the lead in donating 30 percent first, and when the people in the county paid the grain, the 30 percent donated by the gentry was returned to the gentry, and the grain paid by the people and rich peasants was transported to the capital city in sufficient amount, and the rest was quietly divided equally by several gentry.

In mid-December, after the grain distributed by the squires in each county was delivered, Gao Yihuan was ready to let Zhao Zhuzi send the grain to Li Zicheng.

At this time, near the New Year, there was a heavy snowfall in the Runing area, the city and the fields were covered, and the Runing Mansion and even the entire Zhongzhou became a snow-capped world, and the land was covered in silver, which was extremely enchanting.

On the morning of that day, a convoy stopped on an official road outside Runing, and the vehicle was loaded with grain delivered from various counties.

Zhao Zhuzi was riding on a horse, the war horse snorted, and exhaled white breath, "Second brother, Li Zicheng only needs 10,000 stones, why does the second brother give 1,000 stones?" ”

Gao Yihuan rode a black horse, wearing a jacket and a cotton hat, and while controlling the horse, he said with a white breath: "I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf." It's only a thousand stones, and I'll give it back. ”

Saying that, the second brother looked at Zhao Zhuzi again, and instructed: "After you arrive in Nanyang this time, you will first deliver the grain, and then go to visit Niu Jinxing and give me the New Year's gift I prepared." ”

The last transaction made the second brother feel that it was more cost-effective, so he decided to maintain this line for a long time and manage the relationship with Niu Jinxing carefully.

However, this intention will hurt the money, and a congratulatory gift will cost the second brother four or five hundred taels of silver.

Zhao Zhuzi nodded, "Second brother, I know." ”

Gao Yihuan continued: "After the matter is done, you let the team come back by itself, and you will go to Xinzheng to meet my father, and let him find an opportunity to talk to Li Gongzi, and quickly find an errand to be released, don't continue to be a staff member."

Zhao Zhuzi understood a little, "Second brother, you gave an extra thousand stones, and you gave Niu Jinxing a gift, it turned out that you were trying to get an errand for your uncle." Second brother, you're really heartbroken~"

"Now that Li Zicheng has become a general trend, after he takes Guanzhong, there will definitely be a lot of people vying to take refuge first. At that time, there was no shortage of people and jinshi under Li Zicheng's command, and my father's student was not very valuable, so he had to take advantage of the fact that there were few people now, and quickly find a place to put him out. Gao Yihuan explained, "You tell my father that it's best for him to go to Nanyang to be an official, if not, then go back to Runing to help me, in short, you don't have to stay with Li Gongzi now." ”

Now that the second brother Gao's power has just begun, there are not many people who can govern him within the army, so there is no need for Li Yan's signboard.

Li Yan is a relatively upright person, the benefits that the second brother Gao has received from him are very limited, the old man has been a staff member for so long, and if he continues to do it, Li Zicheng will be finished.

"Second brother, I understand!" Zhao Zhuzi nodded.

"It's good to understand, don't make any mistakes." The second brother immediately waved his hand and said, "You go." ”

At that moment, Zhao Zhuzi hugged his fists on the horse, and then escorted the mule cart and headed towards Nanyang. As soon as they left, the second brother pulled his horse back to the city.

Approaching the city, there are more people on the official road, and it is also lively.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the villagers in various villages and towns bring their own grain, chickens, ducks, and pickled vegetables to the city to exchange for some copper coins, and then buy all kinds of New Year's goods to prepare for the New Year.

When the second brother entered the city, he saw that the crowd on the street was bustling, and the shops along the street had already pasted couplets, and people were in the shops, on the side of the street grocery stalls, bargaining, laughing, shouting, shouting, the sound of firecrackers and the frolicking of children blended together, drawing a picture with the flavor of the New Year.

Gao Yihuan looked at the scene on the street, he was very satisfied, his face showed a proud look, and he rode a black horse and walked back to the mansion slowly.

"Second brother!" As soon as Gao Yihuan arrived at the door, he saw a person who greeted him in surprise and helped him hold the reins of the horse, but it was Zhao Daxian who came from Luyi.

After the second brother Gao saw him, he was a little surprised, turned over and dismounted and gave him a punch, "Daxian, you came so quickly, and your family has also arrived." ”

"When I arrived, I was getting things in the yali." Zhao Daxian replied, and patted the horse again: "Second brother, you are really a god!" When I came out, I became a general, became a guard, and more than doubled the number of people, which scared me. ”

The second brother laughed, "What is this, I will at least get a prince for my brothers to take a look at in the future." ”

A few people walked into the yamen while talking, and saw that it was full of people, all of whom were family members from Luyi, and when they saw Gao Yihuan, they immediately surrounded them one by one and greeted Gao Yihuan.

They are all from the village, and they don't know what the rules are, and the men in Gaojiazhuang died almost the same, and the rest were women, either Gao Yihuan's aunt and aunt, or aunt and cousin, one by one, chattering, making Gao Yihuan's eardrums hurt.

These people surrounded Gao Yihuan, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, asking this and that, only a woman in her early twenties stood aside and did not come, Zhao Daxian couldn't help but ponder slightly when he saw it.

At this time, the second brother Gao was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said a few words, so that they could live in Runing with peace of mind, and fled in a hurry.

As soon as the women saw Gao Yihuan leaving, they surrounded Xinghao, who was sending things, and asked for things to be placed while asking for a daughter-in-law for him.

Luyi will be mostly the front line in the future, so the second brother asked Zhao Daxian to send his family over, and Wang Laohan, who struck iron, and many craftsmen he recruited in Luyi were also sent to Runing for settlement.

Now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and after these people arrive, they need supplies for their families, so the second brother asked Gao Xinghao to prepare some quilts, clothes, pots and pans, as well as food and jerky, and each household will send a copy to let everyone have a good New Year.

The second brother walked back to his room, Zhao Daxian followed, glanced at the second brother Gao, and suddenly said, "This group of aunts-in-law, I don't know that the second brother is busy with affairs, and the chatter around is endless, or my sister is more sensible." ”

The second brother Gao was slightly stunned, and straightened his face, "Daxian, it's almost the New Year, I should have kept you for a while, but there are many things in Luyi, so don't celebrate the New Year in Runing, go back to Luyi as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Daxian was stunned, "Second brother, my butt is not next to the stool yet." ”

The second brother of the high school said, "Let you go back, you will go back first." I have already reported up, you, Wu Shizhao, and Jin Xiangang have all been promoted to captains, and when you leave, take 2,000 people with you, and in the future, the defense of Luyi, Chenzhou, and Xiangcheng will be taken care of by you. ”

Zhao Daxian came out of Gao Yihuan's room, and when he saw that Xinghao had finished sending things, he couldn't help beckoning, "Xinghao, come here, my brother has something to ask you." ”

Waiting for Gao Xinghao to come over, Zhao Daxian looked back at Gao Yihuan's door, and then whispered: "Brother asks you, did the second brother have anything to do with my sister?" ”

Gao Xinghao was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that Zhao Daxian would ask so directly, this kind of thing spread very quickly, and all kinds of news were available, Gao Xinghao looked left and right, and said with a low smile: "Brother Daxian, I don't know much about this matter, Brother Yi knows best, but I seem to have heard a little rumor." ”

Zhao Daxian listened and groaned for a while, "No, I have to find the second brother to ask for an explanation for this matter~"
