Chapter 33 Yuyang Undercurrent
"Keep up, keep up!"
"Crackle!"
"Bastard, who told you to stop! Pick up your backpack and put it on your back! ”
Liu Yuan, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, stood quietly at the head of the city, looking at the army outside the city that was running around the tenfold expansion of Yuyang, and there was no ripple in his heart. A breeze blew, the hair on the corners of his forehead fluttered, and his robes flew off.
The soldiers who were running long distances under the city walls had already undergone Liu Yuan's initial special training, and their strength, endurance, and discipline were all unsatisfactory. But Liu Yuan often said that sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, which was cited by all generals as the most reasonable, so he did not give up this training because they had already reached the standard, but it was even harsher!
The soldiers, dressed in heavy and brand-new heavy armor, carried swords, and carried dozens of pounds of iron burdens on their backs, and circled around the new city, sweating and fogging.
Lieutenant and junior officers such as the chief and the lieutenant commander were also dressed up, carrying a horse whip in their hands, and followed the team, while encouraging their soldiers, they shouted and scolded and even insulted!
"Lord, with such rigorous training, will the soldiers be?"
Guo Jia and the others were all busy because of important matters, only Tian Chou, the Yuyang Order, was not very busy today, and followed Liu Yuan's side.
"Definitely," Liu Yuan didn't look back, squinting at the faintly undulating mountains in the distance, and said with a smile: "You say that the soldiers mutinied, do you know under what circumstances did the soldiers mutiny?" ”
"When I can't stand it anymore." Tian Chou replied.
"You're too general." Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "There are several reasons for the mutiny. The main thing is the collapse of the will. For example, if two countries are at war, and one of them is gone, and there is no possibility of victory, the soldiers at that time may go crazy and mutiny; For example, if the new army is not properly trained, it may mutiniate in the face of setbacks; Or even if they have lost one battle after another, run out of food and grass, and have been hungry for seven or eight days, they may also mutiny. ”
"The more elite the army, the stronger the will of its soldiers, and the less likely it is to mutiny. Now that Yuyang is thriving, the people are well-fed and clothed, the soldiers are well paid, they have meat for three meals a day, they are full of energy and enthusiasm, and they train a little hard, how can there be a mutiny? ”
"What's more, I'm doing it for their good. Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime! In addition, officers at all levels, that is, Xu Huang, Yan Liang and others have trained with them, and there has never been a privileged class, so I can't find any reason to make them dissatisfied, let alone mutiny? ”
After hearing this, Tian Chou thought for a moment and said, "The lord is wise. ”
A few people watched quietly from the city wall, pointing to the training team not far away from time to time, and talking about it, and it would soon be an hour.
At this time, a small servant from the Taishou Mansion came to report, saying that Guo Jia had something important to discuss.
Liu Yuan listened, did not delay, turned around immediately, and looked at the Taishou Mansion to leave.
"My lord."
Taishou Mansion, Guo Jia's face was calm, he bowed, followed Liu Yuan, and strode into the study.
"Fengxiao, usually you kid is smiling, what's the matter" Liu Yuan pointed at Guo Jia with a smile and said, "Could it be that our ghost is also stumped by something?" ”
"Lord, Feng Xiao went to inspect various places this time and found some unusual things."
Guo Jiadao: "Now Yuyang is calm and peaceful, steaming, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but on the way back this time, I was robbed by bandits!" ”
"What!" Liu Yuan stood up suddenly: "Are you hurt?" ”
Looking at Liu Yuan's nervous appearance, Guo Jia's heart warmed, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Jia is fine." The thirty guards sent by the lord to protect Jia are all good hands with one enemy or even one enemy thousand, how can some bandits hurt Jia? ”
Liu Yuan exhaled at this time, and suddenly remembered what Guo Jia had just said, his mind turned, and he couldn't help but say: "Feng Xiao is saying that there are still bandits in my Yuyang?" ”
"How is this possible?"
Liu Yuan's eyes widened even more when he saw Guo Jia nodding, and said incredulously: "Now that Yuyang's policy is relaxed, and the people have hundreds of stones of surplus grain, how can it be better than being a bandit, right?" How could anyone else do this? ”
"What the lord said is true, Jia used to think so, and this time, he only met such a group of people on the way back. In Yijia's opinion, this sprout has just emerged! ”
Guo Jiakan said: "The people will not be bandits for no reason, there must be a reason!" ”
"Jia guesses, first, this group of bandits is just accidental, maybe they came from Youbeiping, Guangyang or Shanggu."
"Second, maybe it's some lazy and unproductive scum, seeing that Yuyang is abundant, they have a thought."
"Third, it may be those who are accustomed to being bandits, used to robbing homes and houses, and getting something for nothing."
"Finally, and most seriously, are those local tyrant families who have been suppressed by the lord and confiscated or bought land at a fair price!"
The more Liu Yuan listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.
"First, if you are a thief, you only need to send an army to exterminate it."
"Second, third, and fourth, hehe, do some people think that the policy is too loose, Lao Tzu's surname is too peaceful, and it is easy to bully?!"
A hint of anger loomed between Liu Yuan's eyebrows. He stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, slapped the table, and said gloomily: "In this case, Lao Tzu will teach them a lesson!" ”
Guo Jia only felt that the temperature of the entire study room immediately dropped by more than half, and the light became dim, so he couldn't help but shiver, and silently prayed in his heart for those who were looking for death.
"No matter what the facts are, Feng Xiao, immediately order, closely monitor the hooligans everywhere, the family is strong, as long as there is a little clue, kill-no-pardon!"
The last few words popped out from between Liu Yuan's teeth, and Guo Jia seemed to see a thick blood light.
The next time, the bulletin board in Yuyang City.
"There are bandits rampant, please pay attention to safety on the road of merchants and people, if there are clues, and hope that the Taishou Mansion will inform you, and reward you with fifty gold"
"Wow, we still have bandits in Yuyang?"
One person is unbelievable.
"It's amazing! In these years, there are still people who are thieves, what a hell of a fool! ”
"But no, Lord Taishou issued a decree at the beginning, saying that the thieves and grass can be attributed to the good people, and the past is not to blame, and now in Yuyang, which family is not a well-off life, there are people who dare to do this business"
"That's looking for death!"
"It's not, it's too much to guard the martial arts, and the Wuhuan Iron Rider doesn't dare to take his edge, and now this thief actually slams his neck into the knife."
These remarks soon spread throughout Yuyang City, and people talked about them without the slightest worry.
Inside the inn.
A few newcomers from other places, who were in the dust, were eating meat and drinking wine, listening to the remarks of the locals around them, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"I said big brother, this Yuyang person is really strange, he is not afraid of thieves!"
The eldest brother snorted and said, "I also wonder, now that the grass is overgrown in all parts of the Han Dynasty, and the people are all trembling, the performance of this Yuyang person is really puzzling to a certain family." ”
"Hey, eldest brother, I don't know," one of them said with a smile: "Yuyang Taishou is not a good stubble, you think, the Wuhuan Cliff King, more than 200,000 people, were burned to death by him, and all the new forces were killed by him, and the old and weak women and children were all arrested as coolies." Such a fierce character, where is the turn to get the arrogance of the bandits, he only needs to send an army, and in a few days, he will be wiped out. ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Several people nodded yes.
"This Yuyang environment is so peaceful, big brother, why don't we move to Yuyang for development?" The first to speak.
"Huh" The eldest brother pondered for a moment, patted his head, and suddenly said: "What Xiao Si said is reasonable!" Look at this Yuyang, this city has a unique flavor, not to mention the grandeur, it is the policy that encourages business, and it is also our gospel! ”
"But big brother, let's not talk about selling horses, this salt and iron are all taboo!"
"Hmm"
When several people heard this, they fell into deep thought.
Although Yuyang is a remote place, there are many big and powerful people. At the beginning, Liu Yuan acted vigorously and resolutely, and after the Zhang family was uprooted in an instant, the biggest hero in Yuyang was the Hu family.
The Hu family originally covered an area of 1,000 hectares and had nearly 1,000 private soldiers, but because they were afraid of Liu Yuan, the fields were sold to the political axe at a flat price, and the private soldiers were obediently disbanded, and now they are transforming into commerce.
Liu Yuan saw that the Hu family was obedient, so he didn't take him into the pot.
Hu family, secret room.
"Old man Hu, look"
A voice rang out in the darkness.
"No, my Hu family is not involved in your business." The old man's voice came: "I warn you, don't underestimate Lord Liu, otherwise the family will be ruined, and you will do it yourself!" ”
"Master Hu"
"Don't say any more, let's go!"
The sound of footsteps sounded and faded away.
"Father"
The deep voice remembered again in the darkness.
"Fei'er, do you think there is something wrong with your father's decision?"
"Father, Fei'er is just just"
"That's it! I know what you mean. Do you think that the entire Yuyang and all the families can unite to force Liu Taishou to compromise and retreat, and finally return to the previous state, and the family is still in control of the military and government? ”
"You're wrong! They were all wrong! These people are blind! ”
"You are all blinded by today's loose policies! Liu Taishou is indeed approachable and does love the people like a son, but that is a premise! ”
"What he needs is the voice of the entire Yuyang, only him!"
"Do you remember the Zhang family? Remember how many people died that time? ”
"Liu Taishou first came to Yuyang, without any external help, he was able to pacify the Zhang family, and now he is in power, with nearly 100,000 soldiers, who is still his opponent!"
"The old man is sure that this time, Yuyang will be bleeding again!"
'Huhuhu' heavy wheezing came from the darkness, and the middle-aged man pondered for a long time before he said: "Isn't Liu Yuan unaware, we have a heart or a mind?"
"Smack!"
The sound of a slap.
"Rebel, you want to send the Hu family to the grave?!"
"I'm sure that their little thing has been known to Lord Taishou, and they are dead!"
"Also, in the future, you will call Lord Taishou, if you dare to disobey, the old man will not break your legs!"
"Fei'er, tomorrow, you will go to the Taishou Mansion and tell your lord what happened here, my Hu family, you want to show loyalty to him!"
Taishou House.
"Bonghyo, what's wrong?"
"Lord, a few mysterious people came out of the Hu family overnight and looked out of the city!"
"Hehe, Hu family" Liu Yuan sneered for a while, and said: "Send me to guard, follow carefully, and find out the source!" ”
"Yes, my lord."
