Chapter IX Recruitment of Private Soldiers

"Thank you, Gong Cai." Liu Fan thanked.

At this time, Wei Qi took a step forward, saluted Liu Fan, and said: "It is the luck of the world for the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion to help the people, and the Wei Mansion should give 10,000 gold and 30,000 stones of grain for the Marquis of the Western Qin, and has done its best."

People are selfish, and if Wei Qi is asked to give all the fertile land to the tenant farmers, he is reluctant at all. Being able to take out 10,000 taels of gold and 30,000 stones of grain shows that Wei Qi is still very personable, and he is worthy of being a great Confucian in the future at home.

Liu Fan has lived a new life, and many things have been put down. All he wants is the prosperity of the people, the peace of the world, the conquest of the four provinces, and the congratulations of all the nations.

"Thank you, Brother Wei." Liu Fan returned the salute and thanked him.

Liu Fan had already learned from Liu Yu that although the Marquis Mansion of Western Qin had quite a lot of assets, the grain was less than 10,000 stones, which was far from the moment when the displaced people could not support the grain harvest after Tuntian. Hanoi County and Henan County are still in famine, and it is said that it has reached the point of cannibalism, and if they heard that there was a food supply in Hedong, they would definitely rush to Hedong County in a steady stream. Wei Qi took out so much money and food, and when the time comes, it can really solve the urgent need, if the whole Hedong County is the same as Wei Qi, where is there still a scene of people leaving their hometowns and starving everywhere?

"Although there is land in my hometown of Chenliuyu County, since the family moved to Anyi, it has been cultivated by the neighbors. Now I see that there are many people in the disaster, but there is nothing I can do! Seeing his student Wei Qi so bold, Cai Yong was a little unnatural.

Cai Yong was not from a big family, and after being dismissed and returning to the field, he could only rely on his previous savings and teaching students to live.

But Jiang is still old and spicy, and Cai Yong thinks more than Wei Qian: "Qing knows that the mountain is empty!"

"I can lead the displaced people to build houses, and at the same time to reclaim the wilderness, cultivate the fields, sow in the spring, and harvest in the autumn. How can you sit and eat the mountain empty? Liu Fan said with a smile.

Liu Fan's casual and calm words shocked Cai Yong and Wei Qi again.

Because there was no such thing as Tuntian in this era, the first person to establish the Tuntian system was Cao Cao.

……

When the sun was setting, Liu Fan sent Cai Yong and Wei Qi out of the Hou Mansion.

After Cai Yong and Wei Qi got into the carriage, Cai Yong lifted the curtains on the carriage and glanced at the Marquis Mansion of Western Qin again.

"Boru, Liu Fan has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and he can only set the country and the country, why do you want to abandon the literature and use it, but follow the martial arts." Cai Yong said to Wei with regret.

Liu Fan's vision is far-reaching, maybe Congwu is more suitable for him than Congwen, maybe he has already guessed something? In any case, his talent is only seen in my life. Wei Qi admired his face, and through two hours of conversation, he felt that Liu Fan's knowledge was like the sea, endless. In the face of his gushing remarks, Wei Qi felt like a boat on the sea.

Liu Fan talked to Cai Yong and Wei Qi about the essence of the later theories, and it made people brainstorm when they said it again. It's a lot of touches at the same time, but it's also wonderful.

"I'm only sixteen years old, only one year older than Yan'er." Cai Yong said something slightly meaningful.

Wei Qian was depressed, aren't you optimistic about my diligent and studious brother Wei Zhongdao, why did you change your mind again. But when he thought that his younger brother's identity as a talented man was a joke compared to Liu Fan, he didn't say anything more.

After Liu Fan sent Cai Yong away, he called Liu Yu and told him that Wei Qi would send countless money and food in the next few days, so that he could prepare to receive it. He also told Liu about Tuntian.

"Uncle Liu, you asked Liu Jiang to choose strong people when he settled the displaced people, and promised to use money and food as private soldiers, there is no limit to how much. As for armor and weapons, I'll find someone to do it. Although there was no one around, Liu Fan still lowered his voice and said to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was taken aback, especially when he heard the four words "no limit", what was the master going to do.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, and even throughout the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, almost all of the clans had private soldiers, but they were usually called guardians, diners or private tenant farmers.

After saying this, Liu Fan turned around and left, he hadn't seen Guan Yu for a day, and he had to contact his feelings.

Liu Fan came to Guan Yu's room, because it was dark, Guan Yu lit candles in the house, and Liu Fan could see a figure kneeling on the bed with a bamboo slip across the wall.

Liu Fan knocked on the door and entered.

"I'm very busy today, I can't drink with Brother Yun for a day, so I'm here to make amends." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Fan confessed to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu hurriedly put down the Spring and Autumn in his hand, got off the bed, and said, "What is the crime of the son?" I heard that the son divided the land and tenants to help the homeless. What a great good is this? I plan to go to Zhuojun tomorrow and stop bothering my son. ”

"Brother Yun said this, but I didn't entertain him well." Liu Fan pretended to be angry.

"Childe invites me to stay, there is wine for a meal, and meat for a meal, how can there be no hospitality?" Hearing Liu Fan's words, Guan Yu hurriedly retorted.

"Haha, even if the hospitality is comprehensive, then let me do my best for a few more days of landlord friendship, I still want to exchange the art of war with Brother Yun in the past few days, so as not to have more regrets in the future." Liu Fan laughed and said without refusal.

"Then I'll bother for a few more days."

Liu Fan said this, Guan Yu was naturally gracious.

"I heard Uncle Liu say that Elder Brother Yun is guiding the martial arts of the nursing home today, how about it, is there any material to be made?" Liu Fan casually talked about a topic and chatted with Guan Yu.

"There are a total of twenty nursing homes in the Child's Mansion, although they are all carefully selected strong men, and their bodies have been set, and if they are trained, they are the elite who go into battle to kill the enemy, but there is a young man named Liu Hai in the Child's Mansion who loves to practice martial arts, as long as he is diligent, he may have great achievements in the future."

There are twenty guards and twenty servants in the Marquis Mansion of Western Qin, and there is not a single maid. In addition, there are Liu Yu and his wife, their eldest son Liu Jiang, and their second son Liu Hai.

Although Liu Jiang is 20 years old, he is more prominent than his father in some aspects, and he is particularly eloquent. Liu Hai is only fourteen years old, and because he grew up with Liu Fan, he was influenced by Liu Fan and loved martial arts very much.

After saying a few more words to Guan Yu, Liu Fan walked out of Guan Yu's room.

When he came to the martial arts training ground, he picked up the overlord halberd and waved it for a while. Liu Fan now needs to abandon the halberd method of his previous life, and like Guan Yu, create his own martial arts.

There is a huge gap between the halberd used in the previous life and the overlord halberd, and the strength and physical characteristics in this life are also very different from those in the previous life. Only by creating a halberd method of one's own can the force be stronger.

……

In the busyness of Liu Fan's running around, seven days have passed.

In the past seven days, he was busy, personally leading the peasants to build houses in the fields during the day, and discussing the art of war with Guan Yu at night, while Guan Yu helped Liu Fan train the nursing homes during the day, and the nursing homes changed from the original twenty to three hundred. The originally empty West Qin Marquis Mansion is about to be full. The money and grain that Wei Qi promised to give Liu Fan have also been delivered.

Just yesterday, Liu Fan had taken in more than 10,000 displaced people, and there was not enough land to survive. Liu Fan had no choice but to go to Anyi Ling Li Lun in person.

Although Liu Fan had only been in the late Han Dynasty for about ten days, his reputation had already spread to the nineteen counties of Hedong. Especially after the two songs were passed out by Cai Yong, they spread frantically to the entire Sili area, and a group of children can be seen singing about Minnong everywhere, or the wall of a certain wine house is engraved with Minnong, and Liu Fan, who brought Minnong to this era, is even talked about by people, and even crowned with the title of Hedong Famous Scholar.

Liu Fan's reputation has been in full swing recently, and Li Lun naturally will not refuse, because Liu Fan is not only the Marquis of the Western Qin Pavilion, the clan of the Han Dynasty, and a famous scholar in Hedong, but I heard that the Taishou Wangyi has also paid attention to Liu Fan recently. Li Lun naturally will not be easily offended. Therefore, Li Lun found three pieces of land about the same size as the original one in Anyi and assigned them to Liu Fan, so that Liu Fan could resettle the displaced people.
