The generals and more than 100 guards followed behind Liu Cun, rode their horses into the heavily guarded Yecheng Chengdong camp, and came to the front of the large-scale general's mansion with blue bricks and gray tiles in the center, turned over and dismounted.

Liu Cun handed the reins to the guards beside him, patted the dust on his body, raised his head and looked at the big pillars on both sides of the fifth-level white marble steps and the beams carved with dragons and paintings above, and whispered in surprise:

"Yuan Benchu's grandson is really a fucking luxury! The Chinese General's Mansion in a mere military camp was so luxurious, it was not inferior to the city within the city of the old nest where he lived...... I'm afraid that the east and west camps in the city and the two large military camps outside the city are like this, how much does it cost to calculate the people's fat and people's anointment? ”

"If I had used this money to equip and train the army earlier, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to beat him, but now I'm cheapening us for nothing."

The generals were stunned for a moment, and then laughed in unison, and all the anxiety and depression were swept away in this loud laughter.

Located in the center of the camp, the general's mansion is indeed spacious and luxurious, not only has a courtyard that is enough to accommodate thousands of people to practice at the same time, and the wing-style barracks on the east and west sides, has a wide and elegant meeting hall and a left and right side hall for the generals to rest, but also has a middle courtyard and a backyard full of flowers and trees, which looks like the courtyard of a wealthy family, rather than the command center of an army.

The generals followed the interested Liu Zheng to walk around the mansion, Geng Wu and Lu Jiu, who had long been familiar with all the arrangements, explained in detail on the side, and from time to time the generals who sighed and laughed and scolded made a slight calculation, and calculated that this general's mansion covers an area of no less than sixty acres, and the whole camp is even wider, with rows of neat barracks built with blue bricks and gray tiles, plus two huge school fields and perfect facilities. It can easily accommodate 7,000 soldiers to be stationed and trained.

Take a tour back to the front room. Liu Cun and the generals entered the side halls on both sides. After a little washing and resting, the guards followed Liu Cun's instructions and placed a total of 36 square low tables in the council hall, and Qingzhou's unique xiaolongbao, white flour steamed buns, rice porridge and soybean milk, braised dried yellow fish, and local melons, fruits and vegetables from Jizhou were served one after another.

In order to entertain more than 50 influential Jizhou businessmen and wealthy gentry, the military chef also specially presented two famous dishes from the Langya army - crispy chicken and white-cut mutton.

These are the most common lunches in the eyes of the officers and men of the Qingzhou Army, which can be enjoyed almost once a week, and if they have made a war exploit, they will be added with better wine and roasted whole sheep. Whether it is the Qingzhou Army or the Langya Army, it has always been like this, but these foods fall in the eyes of foreign soldiers, but they are rare and rare things, and the Jizhou generals Yan Liang, Jiao Rong and Zhang Shuo, who were invited in advance, smelled the tempting fragrance when they entered the lobby, stared blankly at the food that was constantly put on the table, and stopped unconsciously.

Yan Liang glanced left and right, thought about it, pulled Zhao Li, who led the three of them to come, and asked in a low voice, "Is General Che Cai going to greet any VIPs?" ”

The good-natured Zhao Li replied with a smile: "The guests that my lord is about to entertain are all in the camp at this time, and you will be able to see them later, they are all people you are very familiar with." ”

Zhang Shuo, who was tall and handsome, was the first to understand: "Is the general planning to release the Jizhou celebrities and dignitaries who are imprisoned in the camp?" ”

"That's right. I am not afraid of offending the generals, as far as I know. Most of the celebrities and dignitaries in Yecheng were forced to contribute their sincerity to General Yuan Benchu, because failure to do so would lead to persecution from the disciples of the Yuan family and even Yuan Benchu himself......"

"Especially among them, Wang Wan and Ning Jue, who are celebrities who would rather resign and retire and are willing to run a businessman's cheap business, although they are still unwilling to surrender to my lord, but they have also won the respect of my lord, so my lordship specially invited them to return all the confiscated property, and personally apologized to them."

Zhao Li patiently explained to the three of them, but he was facing the most important Jizhou general Yan Liang, who was still unwilling to take refuge in Liu Cun.

Where didn't Yan Liang know the meaning of Zhao Li's words? Shaking his head slightly, he asked Zhao Li again: "The Shuai Mansion has imprisoned Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan Gong, the third son Yuan Shang, the younger son Yuan Mai and hundreds of dependents, as well as thousands of family members of dozens of civil and military officials such as Tian Feng, Xianpei, Gao Gan, Chun Yuqiong, etc., I don't know what the Che Cai General plans to do?" ”

Zhao Li thought about it, and still told the truth: "Don't hide it from the generals, my lord has made a decision late last night, and when Yuan Benchu leads the army to arrive, he will gather the families of the Yuan family and all the civil and military officials of the Yuan family who do not want to stay, and send them out of the city intact and hand them over to General Yuan Benchu and the relevant civil and military officials." ”

"However, don't count on the confiscated property, my lord has already planned, once Jizhou is pacified, he will immediately implement a three-year tax exemption in the entire Jizhou, and Zhang Bang announced the total amount of money confiscated in the previous battles against the rebellious Yuan army, and this huge amount of property will be used for road expansion, farmland and water conservancy construction, civilian education and promotion of industry and commerce throughout Jizhou."

"At the same time, my father-in-law will also invite celebrities and businessmen from all over Jizhou to unite and supervise the use of this huge amount of property for the people."

Yan Liang was taken aback when he heard this, and Jiao Rong and Zhang Shuo were also incredible. Throughout the ages, I have never heard of such a strange thing, and there has never been a precedent for Liu Cun to do so.

If this is the case, not only will it be a virtuous government of the past and the present, but Liu Cun will also be able to establish a high prestige through this move, quickly win the hearts and minds of the entire military and the people of Jizhou, and win the heartfelt support and support of millions of people, and no one will be able to shake his rule over Jizhou from now on.

Zhao Li saw the stunned appearance of the three of them, and said with emotion: "You can't think of it, right? To be honest, when my lord announced this policy last night, all the generals and colonels present, including myself, were equally shocked, but after a short period of weighing, they fully supported my lord's decision. ”

"Early this morning, the generals and colonels of various departments went back to convey the decision of my lord, and the officers and men in the army were shocked and grateful, and a total of more than 680 people took out the gold and silver treasures that they had embezzled after entering the city, and knelt on the ground to ask the military judge to dispose of them, and the scene was embarrassing!"

"It can be seen from this that the benevolence and broad-mindedness of my lord are not himself in his heart, but the thousands of people who have suffered a lot in the whole Han Dynasty!"

After hearing this, Yan Liang and the three of them had mixed feelings, looked at each other silently, and were speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Yan Liang's deputy general and military advisor Zhang Shuo suddenly turned around, looked at the clear blue sky from afar, and let out a long sigh of convincingness: "I only understood today what it means to win the hearts of the people and win the world!" I've lived in vain for the past 30 years......" (to be continued......
