Seeing that it was only a platoon of Wang Xi that came back, Huang Ling asked worriedly: "Why did you come back in a platoon, Luo Yi?" Have you taken down Lu Ge's forces? ”

Due to the bloody scene last night, coupled with another day's journey, Wang Xi was not in a very good state, and the war was won, but Wang Xi was not happy, looking at Huang Ling and the others, who were very nervous, and said: "We have won, Lu Ge has also been captured, and the second lieutenant asked me to come back and bring new recruits over to build a new camp." ”

Listening to Wang Xi's words, Lu Kui was angry, "You fucking victory, why are you all one by one, as if your father and mother are dead, shouldn't you be happy and excited?" Why, we have a lot of injuries? ”

"Fuck your sister! If I had experienced what happened last night, I am afraid that I would not be as good as I am now? ”

Wang Xi couldn't stand Lu Kui's blow, and said all the words that Luo Yi usually cursed.

"Oops! Sergeant Huang, look at it, I'll just say that Second Lieutenant Luo is biased! You see this guy has military merits, and now he looks down on me. ”

Without waiting for Huang Ling to speak, Wang Xi answered: "There is a fart military merit, this time to subdue Lu Ge's forces, our second army has no military merit at all, do you think we can participate in such a battle?" If there is a little credit, it is also from the medical class, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

won the victory of the army, Huang Ling also put his mind at ease, as for the credit or something, it was not his concern, and he didn't bother to care about the broken things between the four platoon commanders in the second army.

These four platoon commanders, except for Meng Yu's normal point, the other three, they didn't quarrel over a little thing that time, and there were a lot of big fights, and they didn't know how Luo Yi did it, so they never cared about this matter.

Huang Ling finally knew why Wang Xi's team was so depressed, the war was won, but the national army paid a lot of money, with more than 180 direct deaths and more than 400 minor and serious injuries.

It seems that the number of people is small, but for the weak and small national forces, it is more than half of the force, and if there is another war like this, the forces will have the possibility of collapse.

I don't know if it's the sorrow of the dead from heaven again, or the masterpiece of a feng shui master who is looking for the dragon and exploring the vein, the sky is gloomy for all funerals, and today is no exception.

One hundred and eighty-four black lacquered wooden coffins were parked in the central square of Shuanglong Town, and more than 3,000 people came to mourn under the special organization of Huang He.

The whole square was solemn, solemn, but not heavy-bearing, and there was not much crying, after all, not everyone could get the high-level of power to wear filial piety for it.

In addition, every family member of the deceased received a lot of money and food, so most of the bereaved children and widowed families were not too sad, some were just proud and proud, and only some young women would sobble from time to time.

The reason why this funeral is so grand is because the five people who died in the last battle were organized with great importance under Luo Yi's suggestion, and the effect of gathering the hearts of the people was also very good.

Of course, compared with this time, it is a world of difference, when it comes to demagoguery, Luo Yi can't catch up, this group of civil officials and old men, this group of old men said when they discussed: "In ancient times, Sima Yi carried the coffin for Zhang He, and now there are national forces and civil officials who wear linen and filial piety for the heroes of our department." ”

It can be seen that these old men have made a bloody investment in order to unite the hearts of the people, not to mention these mountain people who have not been very civilized, that is, in later generations, the provincial high-ranking officials will do this, and the people can treat him as a god.

However, if that provincial high-ranking official does this, it is estimated that this official career will stop here.

Although the funeral customs of various ethnic groups are different, the martyrs who died in the war are buried in accordance with the regulations of the government, and these martyrs will be buried in the Shuanglong Mountain Martyrs Cemetery.

There are no feng shui masters in the force, of course, everyone thinks that Luo Yi is, because Luo Yi has found both iron ore and Shuanglong Mountain, a treasure of feng shui.

The reason why the people of the power think so is also due to Huang He, the old man's miscellaneous learning, Luo Yi has to admire, after Luo Yi selected the burial place of the martyrs of the national army, Huang He took his seven-star compass and deduced it according to the method of exploring the cave in the ancient books.

In the end, it was concluded that Shuanglong Mountain is indeed a rare treasure of feng shui, and Luo Yi's name as a master can be regarded as being given by Huang He.

Old man Huang admired Luo Yi's feng shui attainments so much, because when Luo Yi chose the cemetery, he didn't take anything, just walked around.

Luo Yi could only reluctantly accept that he had become a master all of a sudden, just thinking that it would be better to do less in the future, if he really met an expert in this area, he would definitely be finished as a novice in feng shui.

Why did he choose Shuanglong Mountain to build a martyr's cemetery, he can only be stuffy in his heart, and he can't tell them that Shuanglong Mountain will be a martyr's cemetery in the future!

Due to the urgency of time, Huang He prepared to bury these martyrs on the second day after Lu Di returned, because after taking Lu Ge's forces, he, the mayor, and Zhang Guangzhi, the deputy mayor, had to go to Lujia Dazhai to participate in the discussion of how to merge Lu Ge's forces with the national forces.

As soon as they left, the top five high-level forces were not there, and although the ceremony could be held, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

That's why the burial ceremony was arranged in such a short time, and the coffins of the martyrs were all purchased from the villagers' homes at a high price by the Ministry of Commerce, which were prepared by the villagers for their elderly elders, especially the families of servants.

For the preparation of the elders for the burial, in this era, it is estimated that no one has a servant who prepares early, and I don't know what they think, in this kind of thing, no matter how poor the servant, as long as there are thirty elders in the family, there must be a coffin of good wood in the family.

If you are too poor to prepare, when the elders of the clan go west, they will directly sell their sons and daughters, and they will have to get a decent coffin no matter what.

Since the power also knows a little about Feng Shui with Huang He, just like last time, Huang He, dressed in a Taoist robe, holds two leaves of yellow table paper in his left hand, on which are the scriptures he copied from ancient books, and whisk dust in his right hand.

Looking at it from a distance, there is really a bit of the posture of the fairy wind bones, stepping on the gossip steps, circling around the coffin, walking slowly, chanting obscure scriptures as they walk, and waving a few times from time to time to whisk the dust.

Although everyone heard it in a fog, at such a moment, everyone was solemn, and no one cared about the meaning of the scriptures.

After the Yellow Crane scriptures are chanted, they go to the villagers to pay tribute to the martyrs, and the families of the deceased kneel beside the coffins and kowtow to the villagers to thank them.

Because of the large number of people this time, this link alone took up more than two hours, and at this time the sky was also drizzling, but the ceremony did not stop and continued to go down.

After all the ceremonies were completed, one hundred and eighty-four elders or brothers of the deceased, holding the leading chicken, walked towards Shuanglong Mountain, and the drenched yellow crane shook off the dust and shouted in his mouth: "Answer the crowd in place, send the heroes into Longshan!" (Answer: refers to the local coffin bearer, which is still used in Yunnan)

Reed sheng, copper drum and other musical instruments sound in unison, a tragic and mournful sound, spread all over the world, in today, the family only men, can accompany into Longshan, women need seven days later, can enter the mountain to pay respects.

After Huang He and his group of people diverted into Longshan, the officials and people of various ministries also dispersed, and most of the officials knew in their hearts that today was just a show.

The matter is also over, everyone is in a hurry to go home to change into clean clothes, feeling soaked, and now that it is the cold winter season, no one wants to stay here for long.

As soon as Huang Xun returned home, he met Liu Yong, the Minister of Commerce, who had just returned from Baini Town, and when he came back, the ceremony was half carried out, and he did not participate.

Now I came here, mainly to report to Huang Jing the result of going to Gao Xinlun to buy grain this time, after all, the Ministry of Commerce is now only a subsidiary department of the Ministry of Finance.

"Uncle Liu Yong, you're back! The result? ”

"Lord Huang, you should just call me by my name! After all, I am your subordinate officer. ”

"Uncle Liu, this is not an office place, in private, the elders and young still have to talk about humility, look at your face, is it possible that something has gone wrong."

"Alas! You still go to change your clothes first, in the cold winter season, it is easy to catch the wind cold, and things are not in a hurry. ”

"Haha! Then, Uncle Liu, you sit down first, and I'll come when I go. ”

After changing his clothes and coming back after a while, Liu Yong told him what he had been going to from the beginning.

Liu Yong's trip was not very smooth, because the road was also newly opened, and it took more than ten days to go back and forth.

After arriving in Baini Town, things did not go well, Gao Xinlun took a few gifts from the power to find people to build relationships and prepare for his promotion.

Bainizhen was taken over by Li Wenwen at the time of occupation, and Li Wenwen was an insatiable master, and he was still not satisfied after accepting the benefits given by the forces, and he also wanted to get a piece of the pie from the transactions between the forces and Dali merchants.

In the end, the price of the goods of the national forces fell by more than two percent, and Liu Yong knew very well how short of food the national forces were, so in the end he could only reluctantly agree, but it also showed that only this time, how to trade in the future had to go back and discuss with the high-level of the forces.

Looking at Liu Yong's frustrated face, Huang Jing said with relief: "Uncle Liu doesn't have to worry about this, this is a trivial matter, the low two achievements are two percent, anyway, our cost is not high, these goods Luo Yi also said, if you can't do it for a long time, you can sell more, just sell more." ”

"Alas! The old man was also convinced, thinking that when Luo Xiong asked you to directly become the minister of finance, managing the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Taxation, and the Ministry of Warehouses, the old man was still a little unconvinced.

However, since the last time you only used a dozen pairs of shoes and clothes, you sent Li Wenwen away, the old man finally knew how wise the commander was, and then this time the old man set a good price for the goods, and gave you two percent of the benefits, the old man is ashamed of his trust in Commander Luo! ”

Knowing that the old man is very proud, but the more proud he is, the more he will blame himself for this kind of thing, Huang Xun feels that he has to enlighten the old man well, but he can't let the old man blame himself.

"Uncle Liu, at this time, at that time, you don't have to blame yourself, in fact, you matter, I will go to this result, and the last time, it is Luo Yi's credit, regardless of the shoe design, the production of clothes, positioning, and pricing are all completed by him, and I am just the last to take the handle."

"Haha! You don't have to comfort the old man, Luo Yi has the ability and the power is clear, the son of a master! You Huang Jing is not bad, rest assured that the old man can think about it, but he is a little unwilling, Li Wenshu is an old thief, and if there is a chance, the old man will let him spit out all the food he eats. ”

Seeing that the old man figured it out, Huang Xun was also very happy, when the power is really employing people now, there are not many people who can read and write, and those who can do business are even rarer.

"I'm not comforting Uncle Liu, what he said is true, now that they have set a price, then we will sell it to them at this price and strive to buy more grain.

Once when discussing things with Luo Yi, Luo Yi said that even if the forces take down the Lu Ge forces, they still need food very much, and they will need it more than before, because the Lu Ge forces are actually the same as us.

So take advantage of the fact that the goods can be sold now, sell more, if the workshop is not enough to hire more, we trade with them mainly in grain, new grain seeds, new vegetable seeds, etc., we do not need copper coins, although copper coins are very good, but as Luo Yi said, what the forces need now is only grain and population, and the rest are like chicken ribs. ”

"Don't worry! I will try my best to do it, by the way, the man's clothes that Luo Yi made out of the goods, the businessman is not very happy to ask for them, and the women's clothes are all good for men's shoes, women's shoes, and high heels. ”

"This is normal, I guess Luo Yi himself knows that strange clothes are so easy to accept, all ethnic groups have their own clothes, even if Luo Yi makes this kind of clothing comfortable to wear, the people who buy it are limited, take your time!"

"Alas! It can only be like this, but I have to admire Luo Yi, this kid, I don't know why he has so many strange things in his head, the women's clothes he and her sisters made are really beautiful.

These goods, Dali businessmen are very willing to buy, it is estimated that most of them are still sold to places like Qinglou in Dali!

This matter is over, the old man said goodbye! ”

"Uncle Liu won't stay for a while?"

"I heard from my subordinates just now that each ministry wants to elect someone to go to Lujia Dazhai tomorrow with Lord Huanghe, and I have to go back to the Ministry of Commerce to arrange it."

"Okay, Uncle Liu, you go slowly, I won't send it."

Looking at Liu Yong's distance and the gradually bustling streets, Huang Xun couldn't help but think of the scene a few months ago, looking back at the past, the forces had grown from just germinating seeds to now small seedlings.

Today is not only a sad day, but also a happy day, the power has the hearts of the people, the Ministry of Commerce trades grain, Huang Xun now believes that the national power will one day grow into a towering tree.
