Chapter 116: The Monk (The Third Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Ren Huan's expression was calm, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. {First Reading}
Pour yourself a jue of wine, and after tasting it in your mouth for a while, your Adam's apple moves, swallows it in your stomach, and lets out a long breath.
"Your Majesty has issued an edict ordering me to leave immediately and go to Longchuan to take over the Baiyue War."
When he opened his eyes, he seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Liu Kanyingzhuang, "In three days, I will set off." ”
On the way, Liu Kan had already guessed such an answer.
Ren Huan is leaving!
The reason why Yingzhuang gave a generous gift must be that he hoped that he could stay. After all, in the eyes of many people, Liu Kan is the person promoted by Ren Huan. If Ren Huan goes out to fight Baiyue, he may take Liu Kan away. But in the past few years, Liu Kan has begun to emerge. Especially the battle of Loucang, Yingzhuang began to value this guy who was once useless and a profiteer in his eyes.
He is brave and resourceful, and he is indeed a talent.
At the same time, the location of the building warehouse is very important, and there must be a person who can deter Sihong.
It is not an easy task for foreign officials to do as well as Liu Kan. Moreover, the building warehouse has been opened, and it needs to be stable.
This may be Yingzhuang's idea.
At the same time, out of his love for the brave people, it also made him want to keep Liu Kan.
Liu Kan could only be silent at this time......
I was a little scared, Ren Huan wouldn't really want to take me to Baiyue.
Ren said in a deep voice: "Lord Ying will take over the position of the county guard of Surabaya." However, before Sihong is completely calm, it is still necessary to guard in Yu County. ”
Yingzhuang intervened and saluted, "Yingzhuang understands." ”
After Ren Huan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Kan.
After a long time, he sighed, "Ah Kan, to be honest, I really want to take you away." However, the warehouse has just been opened. Stability must be the main priority.
With your current deterrent power in the land of Sihong, I am afraid it will be difficult to replace it with another person.
Therefore, you have to stay in the building and try your best to cooperate with Yingqiang. I don't want to talk about anything else. There is only one requirement: you must ensure that the grain route from Sihong to Huaihan is unblocked, can you do it? ”
Liu Kan chuckled in his heart and began to calculate.
The so-called line from Sihong to Huaihan is the area between Loucang and Guangling. It's about 300 miles away, which isn't too far. But the problem is that from Loucang to Guangling, you need to go through Hongze. Huaishui, go to Xutai (now the south bank of Hongze Lake, the southern end of Huai'an City) Dongyang, and to Guangling. In particular, the hill is undulating, the situation is dangerous, and there are bandits in it.
In addition, this place is where the old Chu is. In the early days, there were often accidents here when transporting grain.
Now that the Hongze bandit group has been eliminated, and the anti-Qin forces have also been severely attacked, it will be relatively better.
But......
In addition to the road of Xutai Dongyang, from Loucang to Guangling, you can also transfer from Ling County. Go to Huaiyin, pass through Gaoyou Pavilion and go to Guangling.
The journey is relatively safe, but the distance is doubled.
Liu Kan pondered for a moment. He looked up and said, "If I have 2,000 soldiers, I can keep the grain road unblocked." ”
Ren Huan glanced at Liu Kan, looked at Ying Zhuang and said with a smile: "What did I say? This kid is very clever, don't look like a reckless man, but he can do things very safely. I thought that there should be no problem with handing over the grain road from Loucang to Guangling to him. ”
Yingzhuang nodded. Laughed too.
"Akan...... I will call you so. Earlier, Lord Ren promised you 800 armor soldiers. It's already a matter of overreach. The building warehouse is only a town, with 800 armor soldiers. Almost the same as the prefecture. If you add another 2,000 people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make sense.
But what you say is not without reason.
With 800 armor soldiers to protect the building and warehouse, it is indeed a little difficult to have food and land.
In this way, you now have thousands of hectares of land under your name, which can be called a powerful party. I grant you permission to set up a gatekeeper. As for how many diners you can raise, it depends on your skills. That's all I can give you, so might as well you think about it again? ”
Prospective Nurse?
Liu Kan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his eyes widened, and he looked at Yingzhuang.
That's a great thing......
Keeping a diner is the same as allowing him to have a private soldier. I think that there were 3,000 diners under Meng Weijun back then, and even King Qi had to be a little scrupulous.
Nowadays, under the rule of Great Qin, there is still the style of raising soldiers.
But not everyone can raise a soldier, that must have a certain status, a certain power, and be loyal to Daqin to have this qualification. Liu Kan once inquired privately that under the entire rule of Great Qin, the only people who can raise a high-sounding reputation are those who live long and are old. Other people may be able to recruit nurses in the name of the nursing home, but they must also be cautious and not dare to be too public.
I can raise a soldier!
Liu Kan couldn't help but want to snicker in his heart, but his face had to show trepidation.
If so...... Adults think, how many people can I raise? ”
Ren Huan laughed and said: "Ah Kan, although you can raise a soldier, you must know that this is Sihong, not the Central Plains." Being able to raise thousands of people is already an incredible number. Okay, don't instigate any more, you are allowed to raise a thousand soldiers, but you must ensure that the grain route is unblocked. ”
"The subordinate obeys!"
Liu Kan also knew that what Ren Huan said was not a lie.
"Alright, you can go home first. I'm here to tell you about it. ”
Ren Huan got up and said, "Three days later, you don't want to send me again." Prepare well, your responsibilities are not easy. ”
It doesn't sound very enthusiastic.
But Liu Kan slammed to the ground and slowly withdrew. Ren Huan...... This old Qin general, who is not related to him, but has pulled himself up with one hand, is now going to Baiyue. For the battle in Baiyuedi, Liu Kan does not have too many memories. However, presumably, it is not easy to see each other again after Ren Huan is gone...... Unless, he will return to Xianyang as an official one day.
And Ren Huan looked at Liu Kan, and his mood was equally complicated.
This guy who has been cultivated and paid attention to. From an ignorant teenager, I watched him become a talent step by step. Now to separate. Ren Huan is really a little reluctant. took a deep breath and watched Liu Kan's back go away, and the hustle and bustle appeared, the corners of his eyes. Somewhat moist.
Why is this so?
Ren Huan smiled bitterly, is he already old?
"Old Ren, if you can't bear this kid, take him away."
Ren Huan turned around and slapped Yingzhuang's chest fiercely, "You guy, you can't be cheap and sell well." Your red fire horse has been given away. It's hard to be willing to let people go. That kid is indeed a piece of material, if he can go through some more experience, he will become a pillar of my Great Qin in ten years.
Lord Ying, I handed him over to you! ”
Yingzhuang nodded vigorously.
Three days passed quickly.
Ren Huan counted the people and set off to leave Yu County. Yingzhuang personally sent him out of the land of ten miles. Reluctantly took Ren Huan's hand and said, "Old Ren, this farewell, I don't know when we can meet?" ”
Ren Huan smiled: "When I conquer Baiyue and triumph, you and I will see you again." ”
Good boy. No need for many words. Yingzhuang let go in tears and went his separate ways.
Ren Huan accompanied him, and there were 800 armor soldiers. He didn't rush directly to Longchuan. Instead, we must cross the Huaishui first, and go to Liyang to order the people first.
Due to the death of Tu Suidi, the army of the expedition to Baiyue suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, the first emperor ordered the conscription of the first echelon of military service men, about 200,000 people, to be stationed in Liyang. As soon as Ren Huan and the army converged, they immediately crossed the river.
Daqin has four tiers of conscription for military service.
The first echelon is the convict officer, the son-in-law, and the merchant; The second tier of military service is a man who has been a son-in-law and a merchant; The third echelon is grandparents. A man whose parents used to be sons-in-law and businessmen. And the fourth echelon. It refers to the man whose ground is the left neighbor, also known as the left Lu.
The call-up. It began at the end of the year and will continue until the end of the year.
Ren Huan and his entourage kept going, entering Hongze along Surabaya, preparing to cross the Huaishui and run to Liyang. Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, but nothing happened. On the evening of the second day after leaving Yu County, Ren Huan and others arrived on the bank of the Huaishui River and prepared to cross the river the next day.
This day is the day when Liu Kan and Ren Huan agreed to pay the gold.
The spring flood has passed, and the Huai water is rolling eastward.
On the riverside, the willows are gently dancing in the wind. But on the surface of the river, there is a light veil-like mist, which makes people feel a lot of sorrow.
Ren Huan returned, looking in the direction of Xiangxian.
I've spent five years in Surabaya...... I have also entered middle age. Half of my life has passed, but I want to stay away from my homeland.
Baiyue?
What exactly does it look like!
I don't know if I can see the magnificent Qinchuan for 800 miles.
"Cross the river!"
Ren Huan put away his mood and waved his hand and shouted.
At this moment, a long neighing of a fierce horse came from afar. Immediately after, the sound of hurried horses' hooves, clattering, came from far and near.
Ren Huan turned his head to look, but saw a war horse as red as coals, flying like lightning.
It's the ground, it's flying......
Immediately, a young man as majestic as a lion rode his horse and whipped his horse, "Lord Ren, let Lord walk slowly, let Lord walk slowly!" ”
Is it Liu Kan?
Ren Huan was stunned, and said in his heart: Why did he run here?
However, there is still a warmth in my heart. As soon as he knocked the horse's belly, he urged the horse forward and met it.
"Ah Kan, you didn't want to go to Yu County to deliver the gold today, why did you come here?"
Liu Kan looked a little tired, panting and said, "I felt the county yesterday, but I heard that the adults had already set off, so I rushed over." The gold has been sent to the hands of Lord Ying, and other matters are handled by Tang Li and Cao Shen. I just think that if I don't see adults anymore, I will regret it in this life...... Over the years, Kan has been cared for by adults, and he has achieved today's achievements.
Today, the adults will travel far away, Kan has nothing to repay, and he will give a small profit. ”
Ren Yan frowned, a little unhappy in his heart, "Give a gift......
Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Kan take out a piece of wooden tablet in his hand, and handed it to Ren Huan with respectful hands, "I know that the climate of Baiyue is different from that of the Central Plains, and food is easy to perish." In addition, Baiyue poisonous miasma is everywhere, if you are not careful, it is easy to be contaminated with miasma. Judging the food of Tang Li them, they have traveled far away, and now there is a local plant called rue vanilla, which is harmless to eat, and can also avoid miasma.
In the past few days, I have researched a kind of military ration called the marrow cake, which can keep it from rotting for ten days in a hot climate.
If you add rue herb to it, you don't have to worry about the miasma. Moreover, it also has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, disinfection and pain relief.
It's just that this rue herb only grows in Baiyue, and Kan can't process it anymore.
The only way to do this is to ask the adults to pick them by themselves and knead the rue herbs into minced juice according to the method of making the pith cake I booked.
On top of the wooden tablet, I have indicated the shape of the rue vanilla, so it will not be too difficult to find.
My lord, you can take care of yourself when you go to Baiyue. Kan will definitely pray for the adults in the building and wish them a triumphant return. As he spoke, Liu Kan's eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, and his voice was a little choked.
Holding the wooden tablet in his hand, Ren Huan's eyes were moistened......
He jumped off his horse and stood in front of Liu Kan. It's a little shorter. I think back then, when I first saw this kid, he was just as tall as himself. Ren Huan took a deep breath and hugged Liu Kan hard.
"Boy, work hard in the building, give you ten years, if you can't catch up with my title, then when I come back, I won't spare you."
Ren Huan, now among the twentieth rank of military merit, enjoys the fourteenth class, which is the right watch.
This sentence also expresses his expectations for Liu Kan.
"Okay, let's go back......" Ren Huan turned over and got on the horse, glanced at Liu Kan again, and smiled suddenly, "Boy, remember, give me some peace." ”
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and crossed the river with the people.
Liu Kan stood on the riverside, savoring the words before leaving.
Let me settle down? I guess I'm worried that I'm going to get into trouble. But Lord Ren, you let me catch up with your knighthood for ten years, but do I have ten years?
Liu Kan let out a long breath, and on the riverside, his hands were folded, and he bowed deeply again.
Peace be upon you!
