Chapter 320: Buying People's Hearts

Yuan Tianlou's subordinates met His Royal Highness the God King" saw Xun Yu, who was dressed in a green shirt, hurriedly walked up to the study on the second floor of Yuan Tianlou, and saw Liu Tai sitting on the desk to approve the documents, frowning slightly, and bowing to Liu Tai.

"Huh? Wen Ruo is here, come here, sit down. Liu Tai responded, raised his head to look at Xun Yu, the corners of his mouth with a thick benefit, although Xun Yu is busy with official business, but he still attaches great importance to the repair of his appearance, in Liu Tai's eyes, Xun Yu is very similar to those noble sons and daughters in later generations, but compared with those sons who can only eat, drink and have fun, they are more mature and more stable.

"No!" Seeing Liu Tai with a hint of ill-intentioned smile in his eyes, Xun Yu was a little apprehensive in his heart, and according to Liu Tai's instructions, he sat opposite Liu Tai, looked at Liu Tai squarely, and said nothing.

Feeling Xun Yu's sharp eyes, Liu Tai, who had a ghost in his heart, pulled his face, smiled dryly, and said, "Wen Ruo, you have twenty and two this year." ”

"No more, no less, exactly twenty-two, I don't know what the lord commands?" It seems that Xun Yu is a little impatient, indeed, after Jizhou and several counties in Hebei fell into the hands of Liu Tai, the territory has nearly doubled, as the head of governance, does Xun Yu have time to talk nonsense to Liu Tai?

"Ahem, I heard that Wen Ruo doesn't have a wife yet, right?" Liu Tai coughed twice in embarrassment, and didn't care about the anxiety in Xun Yu's words, in fact, as the head of the person, it is not very appropriate to ask about this kind of family matter, after all, everyone has **, if you are the main father, you have to take care of private affairs, it is easy to be misunderstood, well, that is, you don't like it.

"No, in the past few years, my subordinates have been focused on officialdom and have not paid much attention to the affairs of their wives and concubines." When Xun Yu said this, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he looked a little weak in catching thieves, could it be that Xun Yu already had a sweetheart?

Liu Tai couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, Xun Yu was uncertain, this can be said to be big news in Northern Xinjiang, he looked at Xun Yu with playful eyes, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why don't you make this king a matchmaker for you?" You and Gongda are also not small, because you don't marry a wife and concubine, resulting in Gongda who is younger than you even if you have a sweetheart, it is not easy to marry, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Gongda, this year Gongda is a full twenty and eight. ”

Xun Yu's face was flushed, to be honest, in a short period of time, Xun Yu really didn't want to start a family, but Liu Tai put a big hat on Xun Yu, which was indeed a little depressing.

"Lord, the matter of marrying a wife and concubine has to go through the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, now that my father is old, and he is in Yanzhou, Yanzhou is thousands of miles away from Huacheng, it is not suitable for tiring travel, and the subordinates look at it, it is better to slow down for the time being." Xun Yu even called out the lord, it seems that he really doesn't want to start a family, or is it a woman that Xun Yu values, which makes it difficult for Xun Yu to talk about it?

"Wen Ruo, you can't be so selfish, you know? Needless to say, this king has already made up his mind, and if Wen doesn't agree, he will agree! Liu Tai saw Xun Yu talking about his father, and he was a little dissatisfied, his face was tense, and he said to Xun Yu in a commanding tone.

"This" Xun Yu looked at Liu Tai's tense face, without the slightest room for negotiation, opened his mouth, his face became blue for a while, white for a while, and he couldn't say anything to refute for a long time.

"Wen Ruo, this king doesn't force you to marry any lady, let's talk about it, as long as you really like it, no matter who it is, this king will find it for you." Just played a big stick, now of course I have to throw carrots, Liu Tai doesn't want Xun Yu to be sad, Xun Yu is Liu Tai's number one in handling government affairs, angry Xun Yu, who will handle government affairs for Liu Tai?

"Hey" sighed helplessly, looking at Liu Tai, Xun Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Liu Tai: "Since the lord insists on forcing him, his subordinates will not hide it, but this woman is from the Shenhou Mansion, and it is very likely to become the master mother of her subordinates, so her subordinates don't dare to think about it." ”

Liu Tai looked at Xun Yu, and felt that Xun Yu wanted to force himself back, and there were only a few young ladies from the Gongsun family who could become Liu Tai's internal woman and stay in the Shenhou Mansion for the time being.

In fact, all Liu Tai plans to be a matchmaker for Xun Yu, or because of Gongsun Qian, because Gongsun Qian's son-in-law brother, the official beautiful man Xun Yu, Xun Yu not only has a first-class family background, but also looks better than Pan An, and there is no need to say much about his ability, he is the number one person in the huge Northern Xinjiang Mansion, such a man, who doesn't like it? It is inevitable that Gongsun Qian's heart will be rippling.

"Say, whatever can be given to you, this king will decide for you." Liu Tai's face looked very flat, and his eyes looked at Xun Yu tightly, except for Gongsun Dan, the other three women, Liu Tai can give it to Xun Yu, even Gongsun Yu is no exception, because he can't accept Gongsun Yu, Liu Tai has no bottom in his heart, after all, Gongsun Yu looks too childish.

Xun Yu and Liu Tai looked at each other, not letting it at all, they could withstand Liu Tai's sharp gaze, it seems that Xun Yu has matured a lot in recent years, and after a while, I saw a smile suddenly hanging on the corner of Xun Yu's mouth, and said to Liu Tai: "My subordinates are interested in the Gongsun family."

Liu Tai tightened his heart, he was afraid that Xun Yu would say Gongsun Dan, so he looked at Xun Yu without blinking, and looked at Xun Yu all over his body. ”

"Third Miss Gongsun Qian" wiped her sweat, and under Liu Tai's gaze, Xun Yu finally said her sweetheart, but it looked like a big battle?

"Huh" Liu Tai exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at Xun Yu, and said with a thick smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you have a lover, you should eventually become a family, it turns out that your kid and Qian'er have long been embarrassed." ”

Xun Yu, who had just gasped for breath, suddenly lifted it in one breath, his face flushed, and he was embarrassed to say that the word annihilation made Xun Yu embarrassed.

"Hahaha Okay, this king won't tease you, in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated all over the world, and it just so happens that this king can announce the good news to the subjects of Northern Xinjiang, and hold a big wedding with Qing and Gongda at the same time in three months, which can be regarded as a joy and a joy." Liu Tai burst into laughter, stood up, patted Xun Yu's shoulder and said.

Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival was not common in this era, and it was not a fixed festival, the prevalence of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the main festivals in China.

Regarding the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are roughly three kinds: it originated from the ancient worship of the moon, the custom of singing and dancing under the moon to find a couple, and the ancient custom of worshipping the land god in the autumn newspaper.

After the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang regime, Liu Tai set the Mid-Autumn Festival and several festivals as statutory festivals, during the festival, the Northern Xinjiang Government will distribute moon cakes and zongzi to some refugees or people living in poverty, so that the people can feel the happiness brought by the festival, of course, the most important thing is to let the people feel the love of the Northern Xinjiang regime for the people, so that the people can support the Northern Xinjiang regime to the greatest extent.

"Report to Lord Guo and Lord Xun for urgent matters" Xun Yu just wanted to speak, and the guards downstairs pushed open the door and shouted softly to the study upstairs.

"Huh? Let them in. Liu Tai frowned, the two of them should be dealing with government affairs during this time period, why did they come to him? Could it be that something is going on again?

After a while, I saw Guo Jia and Xun You hurriedly walking up to the study on the second floor, and saw Liu Tai and Xun Yu standing in front of the desk.

"What??" Originally, Liu Tai was still a little dissatisfied with Xun You's appearance in such a hurry, but when he heard Xun You's words, his expression suddenly changed and he stepped forward and asked Xun You: "What happened, how could Huangfu Song's 180,000 army be defeated so quickly?" ”

"Your Highness, this is also a natural disaster, and the crime is not a war." Guo Jia took a step forward and said for Xun You, it seems that Guo Jia's expression is very tired, it seems that Guo Jia has been tired enough in the past few days.

"Natural disasters? Hasn't Sanfu's plague been subsided? "When Huangfu Song was ordered to return to the division to quell the rebellion of the Qiang people, Liu Tai asked Huang Zhong of Bingzhou to send a large number of medicines to treat the plague, accompanied by a lot of medical personnel, the effect and remarkable, after the medical personnel arrived in the Sanfu area, less than a month later, the momentum of the plague was curbed, and millions of people in the Sanfu area were treated, in Liu Tai's view, since the plague in the Sanfu area has been contained, what other disasters can threaten a large army?

"This time is different, although the plague has been contained, but there has been an outbreak of plague and locust plague, after all, the plague of locusts is common, mainly for the crops planted by the people, and the plague is different, the borer will not only swallow the food in the crops, but also swallow the military food, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the treasury of the Han Dynasty is empty, Huangfu Song's 180,000 army to levy the Qiang people's food is still the Son of Heaven to scrape together, now the plague is over, the army that attacked the Qiang people's grain and grass, almost lost, even if Huangfu Song has the ability to reach the sky, It is also impossible to raise enough food and grass in a short period of time to meet the needs of the army. Guo Jia's face was ugly, when the 180,000 army ran out of food and grass, the end can be imagined, the Han army was not the Yellow Turban Army composed of peasants, but the Qiang rangers who killed people without blinking.

Liu Tai didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the military map hanging in the study, in the northern Xinjiang, especially in the Shenhou Mansion, the military map is one of the most important tools when holding meetings, so it is equipped with many copies, in Liu Tai's study, how can there be no military map?

"How many men and horses did Huangfu Song's army lose?" Liu Tai came to the map of the military division, pulled out the terrain picture of Xiliang, and asked Guo Jiafa, who followed behind him.

"According to the intelligence, it is about 70,000, most of which are Xiliang cavalry, and the soldiers and horses of Huangfu Song's headquarters have not lost much, and because of this, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song began to quarrel between the two sides, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo led the army to retreat to Longxi to collect grain and grass on the spot, but due to the disaster, there is no surplus food in the people's homes." Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile, the biggest pain of the coalition army is this, if one team loses a lot of money, and the other team only loses a few soldiers and horses, the commander between the two sides will inevitably be pimpled.

"Dong Zhuo is the general of Huangfu Song, how dare he argue with Huangfu Song?" Liu Tai frowned, and asked out loud with a little puzzlement.

Guo Jia touched his nose, smiled awkwardly and said: "According to the news from the Xiliang army, the reason why Dong Zhuo suffered heavy losses was because of Huangfu Song's improper entry into the army.

"How could Huangfu Song be so confused?" Liu Tai frowned, a little depressed, Dong Zhuo was dismissed from the position of Liangzhou pastor, he must have been very annoyed in his heart, Huangfu Song actually deducted Dong Zhuo's grain and grass, didn't this force Dong Zhuo to exploit the ordinary people?

Shaking his head, Liu Tai was a little helpless, if this was an internal war in the Han Dynasty, Liu Tai would definitely not interfere too much, but this time it was a war between the Han and the Qiang people, so he had to take care of it, frowning, Liu Tai looked at Guo Jia and said: "Give Huang Zhong an order, immediately allocate enough 200,000 troops to eat one month's grain and grass to Beidi County, let Huangfu Song or Dong Zhuo lead the army to Beidi County to get grain, well, transfer three times the amount of grain to Sanfu County through Beidi County for disaster relief, remember, to publicize it, let the people of Sanfu and Xiliang know, These grains were all donated by my northern Xinjiang, and they have nothing to do with the imperial court. ”

Beidi County is only separated from the Yellow River by Bingzhou, although Liu Tai wants to pull Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, but he will not hand over the grain to the Xiliang official mansion and send it to Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo's Longxi camp, because if the local officials send it to the Longxi camp, the corrupt officials along the road will stretch out their hands, and they will definitely not even be able to send half of them to the Longxi camp.

"No!" Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You are all resourceful, naturally they understood Liu Tai's intentions in an instant, and they were speechless about Liu Tai's means of sparing no effort to buy people's hearts.
