On the Tieli Ridge of Yanmen Mountain, on the wall of Yanmen Pass Fort.

Compared with the previous time when Han Shizhong came, the Yanmen Pass Fort is more like. The main body of the wall has been completed, and the stone has been built to the top of the wall. Now the horse face protruding from the wall is being repaired. Huge piles of building materials, piled on top of each other, fell a thick layer of snow on them. There are a lot more people than a few days ago, shouting trumpets and desperately pulling big trees up the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a riding village was also added, which was relied on by the Yanmen Pass Fort on the ridge. If the enemy comes to attack, the main force is directed at the cavalry. Then the Yanmen Pass infantry army attacked, supporting the cavalry with bows and crossbows. If the main force points to the Yanmen Pass on the ridge, the cavalry stationed in the village will attack and copy the enemy's flank.

A critical defense system is more than that. From the riding village to the stone fort of Yanmen Pass. Along the way, small villages should be set up according to the mountain situation, and they can be connected with bows and crossbows with each other, which can be used as support. The main fort on the ridge is equipped with food and equipment, as well as heavy soldiers, as the last support.

When this entire defense system is established, Yanmen Pass can be called a pass. In the planning, the total number of foot riders to be mounted is close to 2,000. As the most important key of the entire three-level defense system. As long as it is stuck here, no matter how strong the enemy is, he will not be able to penetrate into Hedong Road from this direction.

At present, the Yanmen Pass, which is the focus of repair, is only about half completed. Not to mention the Ningwu Pass and the Partial Pass, which have a lower degree of completion.

At this moment, on top of the wall, Yue Fei stood up straight, looking at the large number of refugees from Yunnei Prefecture who came from the mountain road down the mountain. The snow was falling one after another, but the long queue of refugees did not make much noise, just slowly moving forward. At the bottom of the mountain, in an open place, it turned out to be the residence of the construction man. Rows and rows of excavated nests. Now there are a lot of new nests. The people who were rushing to work there were holding on to their hoes, and they all looked at the new batch of refugees in a daze.

The rows of sheds that used to provide food for these people are now on fire. White smoke rose into the air, and the sound of water boiling and rattling became a chord. Under the guardianship of the soldiers. The refugees mechanically walked to the front of the food shed, received some hot water, and a little cold dry food, and sat down on the spot one by one and stuffed them into their stomachs.

A few days ago, the refugees arrived, and Sima in the army selected strong people to participate in the construction. It's also free for a few days. Basically, the people who came were old and weak, women and children, but they could eat for nothing. According to the plan. It should be that after a meal, they will be arranged to squeeze in the nest for a night. On the second day, we continued to walk along the frozen Hutuo River in the direction of Daizhou Daying.

However, this plan was soon changed, and Yue Fei ordered that the refugee brigade from the north would be raised here for two days. After eating two full meals and a little strength, we drove south again. until it shook the whole east of the river.

When this group of refugees arrived, I don't know which of the people who had been working here for a few months found their relatives and rushed over to hug them when they shouted. The cries rang out, and the refugees around them only glanced at them, then numbly bypassed them and continued to walk towards the shed where the food was provided.

Born in troubled times, and in the land of war. What Liao people, Jurchen people, can't tell what tribe people come and go. This emperor, that nobleman, what princess banner shuttles. It is common for wives to be separated, even if they are lucky to be reunited. Who can guarantee the future?

A military officer came in a hurry, walked behind Yue Fei, who was standing in a daze, and whispered: "General." Today, more than expected, 30 stone of grain and rice will be issued, and now the army has less than 600 stone in storage............ Please show the Lord, when will the Daizhou camp have grain and rice delivered? It's good for subordinates to arrange for counting and warehousing as soon as possible............"

Speaking of this, it's okay, but in the end, Sima in the army couldn't help but add an extra sentence: "Now we don't lack anything, but we lack food and rice!" Lord, stay one more day for the refugees who come every day. Just use more than 100 stones! Can't we let us tighten our trousers? ”

Yue Fei glanced back at him and said lightly: "Daizhou Daying, all the rice and grain that can be transported have been transported. Han will be the master of the difficult to count on, the matter of raising food. A decision of its own. The expenditure of the refugees going south will not be reduced, or they will be driven south. On the Hutuo River, you just wait to see the corpses look at each other! ”

Sima Youzi in the army still wanted to argue, but Yue Fei waved his hand: "If you want to strangle your trouser belt, you will also strangle me!" Give a certain amount of money every day, and reduce it by half! ”

Yue Fei said this, what else did Sima in the army say? I had to bow and retreat.

Several generals and mink hat guards standing behind Yue Fei couldn't help but step forward to explain: "General, in this remote place, the supply is already thin. The general, like the soldiers below, is a liter of rice a day, half a sauce. If you lose it any longer, you will be hungry............ Straight lady thief, we came here to guard the edge. The rice and grain eaten every day are bought with their own money. Until now, the Hedong pacification embassy has not transported a liter or a bucket up! We are not the official army of the Great Song Dynasty! If they can do that, we can drive the exiles south and scare them! ”

This time is different from the chaos in Yandi, most of the generals in the Shenwu Changsheng Army know their arrangements from Xiao Yan to Han Shizhong Yue Fei. Rebellion arose in the states of Yunnei and drove the displaced people south. To shake the east of the river, to shake the beam. And it is used to stabilize the status of the Shenwu Winning Army.

This is due to the changing times. The Shenwu Changsheng Army had the merit of destroying the country, but it was driven out of Bianliang. If you want anything, you just want to be weakened. Shenwu often wins the army, how can there be no resentment? If this is still willing, it can only be said that Xiao Yan has brought out more than 10,000 saints. You don't have to go into battle to fight, you can directly influence the Jurchen Tartars.

Now it is Xiao Yan who independently supports this Shenwu winning army, under hardship and hardship. Compared to when the whole army was in Yandi, it was already a close group with a centripetal force ten times greater than before. In the future, if the Shenwu Victorious Army can develop and grow, and the officers and men in the army marry each other, it will be a new Western Army. And independence is only afraid to be stronger than the Western Army.

Acting like this on the border, the whole army of Shenwu Changsheng felt at ease. As for whether it will be leaked, Xiao Yan, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and even the generals under their command have nothing to worry about. A matter of officialdom, hide it from the top and not hide it from the bottom. There are some things that you can't tell even if you know them. The second is that the stability of this era far exceeds that of later generations, and people in a group are a matter of a lifetime plus how many generations in the future. Things like job hopping. Very few. Moreover, the stability of the Wuchen group was ten times greater than that of the Wenchen scholar group. Wenchen has been promoted and transferred, and he is a sergeant and a general in an army, unless he has achieved the horizontal class level. Otherwise, prepare to eat in this army along with your sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Everyone in this remote place, there is no help from outside, the DPRK and China are cold, and the pacification embassy is only waiting for the Shenwu Changsheng army to sit in their own traps. It is the time to stay close together and try to survive. If anyone wants to go out with his head caught in the door, he will be dragged out in the middle of the night and stabbed seven or eight times, and it depends on his fate whether he can leave a corpse.

Yue Fei didn't follow the words of those generals. Just shaking his head. But I still couldn't help but ponder in my heart: "Lack of food............ But I don't know if Daizhou Daying can solve some problems from Taiyuan Mansion. It's about to be printed, so should we get some of it? If only the pacification embassy could have supplied some, this mess would not have made too much trouble............ If you ignore us like this, I really don't know how it will end in the end! This Shenwu Winning Army must also be the Divine Martial Victorious Army of the Great Song Dynasty! If it weren't for the court's poor treatment, why would this be the case? ”

These words. But it doesn't have to be said. These generals behind him are all afraid that they will not make a big fuss enough!

Several generals squeezed their eyebrows at each other for a while, and one of them stepped forward boldly, and saluted to Yue Fei: "General, vinegar will be sour, and salt will be salty." Say a thousand words and ten thousand, and now we have six hundred stone grain. Not enough to chew for a few days. Isn't it time to get it up? We accompany the master to tighten the belt or anything, and the soldiers dare to ensure that they can endure hardship. But there are so many good horses in the army. It's all a treasure that has been saved hard, spent time training, and has been on the battlefield a few times. When we are hungry for these mounts, what kind of majesty will we have when we go into battle? Please command the Lord. Let's go out and raise food! ”

Yue Fei was silent. This influx of refugees and the strategy of sending troops to raise food. It was agreed upon by him and Han Shizhong a long time ago. Just because of the influx of these displaced people, even if tens of thousands of people starved to death, the princes of Hedong Road to Bianliang could pretend not to see it. It can only be coerced into the influx of displaced people, in the name of the remnants of the Liao people and the Jurchen soldiers and horses, tens of thousands of refugees, thousands of fierce troops, and the name of chaos if there is no food. Raise food from large households in the surrounding area.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, it can be called a big household. Can be a gentry. The connection with officialdom is naturally inextricably linked. Until they all feel the pain. In order to really shake the officialdom and shake the princes!

Yue Fei pondered for a long time, and finally could only sigh in his heart. Your body has fallen into the well, and you still expect your ears to hang? What he did was also for the sake of the whole army. I can't just watch thousands of military horses. And these tens of thousands, or even more, of the refugees in the journey, starving to death?

He waved his hand. He ordered in a low voice: "According to the previous agreement, go to the big households in the nearby prefectures and counties to borrow grain." Remember, it's borrowed food! When the grain and rice that the court should give us arrives, we have to return it to them, even with interest! It's just a momentary subordination! At some time, you will lead your troops around to make rounds, and if you have the slightest act of captivity and adultery, it will be something that has arisen in any of them. This is from the ten generals to the head of the capital, and even to the battalion commander, and the army is immediately beheaded! You must make all your subordinates clear about this sentence, it is meaningless for Yue Peng to be unpredictable! ”

Saying this, Yue Fei's face was already extremely blue. I felt only a salty smell in my throat. The cold wind blowing on the top of the icy mountain could not hold it back. Wow, a mouthful of blood spurted on the wall.

The surrounding generals were all shocked, and they hurriedly stretched out their hands to help. Yue Fei's invincible name is famous throughout the army, and he fights bloody battles among the ten thousand armies, and he is still calm and calm after several wounds. When will he vomit blood?

Yue Fei waved his hand violently and stood still. The blood stains on his lips were clear: "But if the imperial court can treat my Shenwu Changsheng army like another army, then Fei dares to swear that the army he leads will not dare to demolish the house if he freezes to death, and he will not dare to plunder if he starves to death." Today's act of borrowing food, Fei Shi is deeply ashamed. If there is a violation of military law, the leading army will be immediately beheaded, and he will fly in front of him, just waiting for the national law! Show this heart, learn from it every day! ”

In a gloomy tone, all the generals were deeply moved and fell to the ground: "The last general dares to disobey his fate!" But if there is a violation of military law, the last general and others are also bound to the front of the gate, and the main axe is added, and the last general and others dare not have the slightest complaint! ”

Yue Fei stood straight, facing the mountain wind, and there was only one voice in his chest whistling: "Xianmo, Xianmo, I hope I will act according to my orders, there is no mistake, there is no mistake!" What I do today will only be able to clear my heart in the future before the Tartars are captured! ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Outside a manor in the north of Fanzhi County, the steward of the manor was standing on the wall of the courtyard, looking at the crowd with a pale face.

These people are all ragged southbound migrants. Everything that could be found was wrapped around the body. In winter, it often snows on the roadside of Hedong, but today is good, and only fine snowflakes are floating in the air. By the standards here. It's not cold enough. These southbound refugees are only afraid of one or two thousand people, and in Hedong Road, a place where the population is not prosperous, and the open ground is less than the plain, the hedgehogs are gathered in one place, which is already quite visually impactful.

The crowd surged forward silently, rarely making a sound. Standing on the wall. It seems that you can hear the rustling sound of thousands of people walking through the snow.

In the distance, the Hutuo River was white and bright, reflecting a dazzling light, which made the eyelids of the steward standing on the walled wall jump.

As the steward of the manor located in the township, the most feared scene is to see a large group of homeless people gathering for food in the green and yellow years. Not to mention, these seem to be displaced people who have been driven by fire from the north. There is no belongings in the Great Song Dynasty, only a rotten life. The ruling system of the Great Song Dynasty does not have much deterrent power for them, and in order to survive, it can really burst out with huge destructive power!

It's just a gathering of these homeless people. The roadside land in the east of the river is the border plug near Hudi. Although the Song Liao Chengping in the past few decades, there were not a few tribes active in the prefectures of Yunnei, and the people were strong, and small-scale raids in the south often occurred. It was a merchant who traveled between Song and Liao, selling horses, salt, and tea. Merchants and bandits are not too clearly distinguished, there are many things where the law of the jungle is located, and everyone is used to it.

It's just that compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the two countries at the beginning of the founding of the country, they confronted each other along the border. often fighting to the sea of corpses and blood, for this kind of small fighting, killing and plundering, the officials and people on the edge of the road east of the river said that they were not under much pressure. The people on the edge of the Liao people are strong, and the people on the edge of the Hedong Road are not necessarily weak!

On the edge of the border, the manors in this place are not quite the same as those in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, which are also operated as gardens and are not heavily guarded. It is closer to the north of the ground, the wall is high and thick, there are bows and horses, and some can be used for small-scale fighting, and there are dock walls and fortresses that can be used for small fights.

It is a national policy for the Great Song Dynasty to annex, and the land has been greatly concentrated for more than 100 years. Even if it's on the border. The size of this manor is not small, and it is enough to support a fort of the right size. However, it is somewhat similar to the military village set up in Shaanxi Zhulu, and the people are mostly attached to the tenants by the generals of the military village, relying on the military village for reclamation.

However, the difference lies in the fact that Shaanxi has been engaged in large-scale wars for decades, and the big landlords are basically the generals of various armies. The owners of each village. For decades in Hedong Road, the big landlords were the most common Song Dynasty bureaucrats and doctors.

This manor is also average. The owner of the manor is the Chen family in Hedong, the Chen family was originally a Jingzhao person, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty to avoid chaos and move to Emei, a branch moved to Hedong in the middle of the Great Song Dynasty. Generations are regarded as heirlooms, and there are many people who are eunuchs for officials, and Chen Xiliang, who was once an official to the criminal department, was born during the reign of Renzong. After decades of operation, this branch has changed its hometown from Emei to Hedong.

At this moment, the Chen family, which is serving as an official, has achieved local general judgments, and is not particularly prosperous in official affairs, but it is enough to support the family business. The head of the family, Chen Chai Yin Jinshi, was born in the family and was very early. But because it was the old party, although it was not included in the Yuanyou party monument, he was also disheartened and returned to his hometown early.

This kind of family reputation has been passed down, and there have been Jinshi and the first in all dynasties, and there are families with Dengshi as middle-level officials in the Great Song Dynasty, which is the backbone of the bureaucratic and doctor class in the Great Song Dynasty. Because Kejia married in the same year, there was an intricate relationship in the Great Song Dynasty. and do not make a big move, and make unpredictable political consequences. In the Great Song Dynasty, the position was so solid that it was almost unshakable.

Here in Fanzhi County, a large amount of land is concentrated in the hands of the Chen family. Although the border land of Hedong Road is vast, the slope fields, mountain fields, and dry fields are not very valuable, and those good fields along the Hutuo River have thick enough humus soil and convenient access to water. One acre is counted as one acre, and basically all of them are in the hands of the Chen family. Fanzhi County is bitterly cold and remote, and Chen Chaiyin, the head of the Chen family's contemporary retired township, is in Taiyuan Mansion all the year round, and only sets up a steward in the township to manage these family businesses. Every year, just send the housekeeper to check the accounts, and transport money and special products to Taiyuan for use. When the weather is warm and the border is calm, you may return to your hometown to live for a while.

The head of the village here is in charge of tens of thousands of acres of good land along the Hutuo River. It is the overlord of Fanzhi County. The Great Song Dynasty's personal dependency system is not too powerful, and the Chen family is really a villager, and there are only thirty or forty villagers living in this fortress. Two hundred people. Less than half of the strong. However, there are still seven or eight hundred tenant villagers around, all of whom rely on this place. This steward is in the township, and he is very nourishing, but there is something. A two-paper-wide strip was sent to the county government of Fanzhi County, which is the county honor, and it has to give three points of face.

At this moment, this steward is sweating hot in the cold weather.

Thousands of displaced people gathered in front, and dozens of strong people in the manor had all been on the wall. Although there are tenants around. But in the winter, the doors are cut. At this time, each of them will protect their own house. He is not a generous person on weekdays, who will help him at this time?

If it's just these thousands of displaced people, it's not too scary. The walls of the manor here are high and thick, and dozens of sturdy men who guard the village are all fierce people in the borderland. There are bows and crossbows in the manor. There are also all kinds of sharp blades. A few thousand or more homeless people with wooden sticks will not be able to break the Zhuangzi. Once you have been here for a long time, there is nothing to plunder in the winter but to rob those tenant villages. He provoked seven or eight hundred tenants. It's really impossible to say who will win and who will lose at that time. He laughed in the village and watched the clouds disappear.

And it was a big trouble, there were horse archers and foot archers in the county, and the people in the border areas were fierce. These horse archers and archers mostly protect the goods for the merchants on weekdays. Riding a bad horse with a hard bow. Fighting alone may be stronger than the mainland army of the Great Song Dynasty. A few hundred generals will go out to help under the banner of the county. It's still a righteous rebellion in Pingxiang. Not to mention that there was also a Shenwu Changsheng army of straight thieves in the north, and it also passed by when the military horse along the Hutuo River went north. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the equipment is fine. Equipped with all the horses and horses, it is said that the general is still invincible? The steward also sent ten sheep that day, which was perfunctory.

This is the foundation of the head of the family, and the head of the family can also speak in front of the newly arrived Hedong pacification envoy. A military order came. These horses will have to come and quell the chaos. Looking at the strict posture of the army when they went north, no matter how many times these homeless people are, they can't withstand a blow!

But these calculations. After looking at the knights wandering around the large group of homeless people, they all turned into a cold sweat. These knights wore armor and red cloaks. Riding a high-headed horse, with a snow-bright blade in his hand. Between advance and retreat, it is completely orderly. All kinds of flags are flying and majestic. It is the strong army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the Shenwu army that is always victorious in the north at Yanmen Pass!

If the Great Song Dynasty military horses are behind the scenes, they will promote the livelihood of these wanderers. It's winter again, and it's hard to get news. The Ranger Patrol is stuck in the paths. This Zhuangzi of his own. Silently extinguish people, and when the time comes, it will be reported as a bandit. Who else can do that?

The steward was trembling and puzzled. How could this military horse be so lawless? Aren't you afraid that the head of their Chen family will be held accountable? As soon as Wenchen exerted his strength, no matter how strong the army of the Great Song Dynasty was, he had to bow his head to his ears. What is their plan for wrapping these displaced people?

All kinds of thoughts are mixed in one place. While he couldn't help but sway, the steward couldn't figure out what this was. With the shouts of those knights, the group of homeless people who were silently moving forward stopped one after another. Just sit down in the snow. They were huddled together to keep warm, and thousands of pairs of eyes stared blankly at the fortress in front of them, which was one zhang high and more than 200 zhang in circumference, and I didn't know how much grain and rice was stored in it.

After the group of homeless people stopped, they saw a group of knights surrounded by a man who looked like a military general. The steward looked intently, and saw the general riding a horse that was also quite handsome in the north. Although the mane is trimmed, it is still long and thick. At first glance, you can tell that it is a good horse produced in the bitter cold land further north.

The general of the horse wore a red cloak, untied, and when the cold wind blew, the heavy hem was raised. Revealing the armor that the general was wrapped around all over his body. From bottom to bottom, the scales of fine iron are finely braided, polished to a bright surface, and not a trace of rust can be found. On top of each piece of iron, there are also cold forging remnants. It looks spotted, as if it is covered with a layer of fangs.

The steward didn't know anything, but he thought this armor was terrifying. Together, I'm afraid there are not about 30 catties. Plus this big man, if it weren't for this majestic mount, he really couldn't afford it!

This armor is the Monkey Armor. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it came from Qingtang Qiang. The protection is extremely strong, but it is heavy and thick. It is difficult to fight Ruyi if you are not a strong person. It also uses a lot of materials, and forging is time-consuming. In the Great Song Dynasty, it can also be regarded as a militaristic weapon. When the Shenwu Changsheng Army participated in the Northern Expedition, it had never had such good armor. When they all went north to Hedong, Xiao Yan paid out of his own pocket and accumulated from the arsenal over the years. It took a lot of money to get more than 100 collars, and the Shenwu often victorious army is all abnormal in Baoai.

The length of this army general is calculated according to the future generations, which is about 1.85 meters. Long hands and long feet. The palm of the hand is as open as a fan. The thick eyebrows of the Northwest man are deep-eyed. Next to the saddle hung a brass hammer. The copper hammer used by a normal cavalryman, the hammer head is the size of two fists together. No matter how you look at this copper hammer of his, it is also the size of a cold melon. The hammer head cast is pitted, and it makes people's vests chill when they look at it.

The steward of the wall originally wanted to preemptively ask a question, but he was forced by the momentum of such a majestic general. swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but it turned out to be silent.

This military general is familiar with himself, and he raised his hand to the wall with a big grin: "I am Bingyilang of the imperial court." Shenwu Changsheng Army, the former battalion of the First Army of the Left Chamber, made Liu Baozhong. The one inside is up and down, and I am polite here. I came here today, I wanted to discuss something with the top and bottom, but we are serious military ministers of the Great Song Dynasty and the army of the economic system. Can you still eat it? I can say that I am also an ambassador of the imperial court, and I am only one step away from the horizontal class, and I can get a special purpose if I make any military achievements. You're too rude! ”

The steward on the wall didn't think of it again. The first thing this fierce man said when he stepped forward was that he was rude and actually closed the door of the village. I was stunned for a while. You take with you a hundred and ten fierce tyrants, armored men who roar back and forth. and then drove away thousands of homeless people who looked terrible. Can't I close the door yet?

However, this Liu Baozhong was riding on a horse, looking forward to his own self-pride, but he felt that what he said was taken for granted.

He was born as a white soldier, and immediately put on armor and rode heavily. Born with divine power, the white soldiers use many long weapons. He prefers to make a heavy, dull brass hammer. The West Thief Iron Harrier has also touched it. Where the hammer was wielded, I don't know how many Western thief heavy armored knights were hammered to break their tendons and fractures. The head and the foot of the fall horse.

After entering the Shenwu Changsheng Army, he and Niu Gao, who rose later, were called the generals of the army, and they were all famous for their divine power and bravery.

Such a brave man. Xiao Yan naturally wants to receive some training from his side. As a matter of course, it entered the mink hat capital. When he left Yandi, he was released and led the army in the Shenwu Changsheng Army. The Shenwu Changsheng Army was reorganized in Bianliang and perfected its structure. It is divided into left and right compartments, the left compartment is the horse army, and the right compartment is the infantry army. The left wing has jurisdiction over the 1st, 23rd and 1st armies, with a total of 15 horse armies under the command. The right flank was also three corps, and the infantry army also had fifteen commands. Among the horse army, the first army was heavy cavalry, and the second and third armies were light cavalry.

Liu Baozhong led the front camp. He was also the strongest commander of the First Army on the Left Chamber. Since the Pingyan War, there is no need to be sent. The rank official has been promoted to the rank of Gongwei doctor. is the same as the Chang Sizhao that Xiao Yan tried to win over in the capital. If you go up to the top, you will not rely on grinding, except for the special purpose. It is the so-called rampant official, referred to as Hengban. In terms of rank and rank alone, he Liu Baozhong is no longer as good as the commander of the army in the Shenwu Changsheng Army.

The entire Shenwu Victorious Army. It's just that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are in a horizontal class.

The rampant officials are noble, and now they are all in the forbidden army. Shi Chongyi, who has been in the limelight recently, is an old fat man, and the rank officials are just about the same as Liu Baozhong. I dreamed of going up to the top of the horizontal class. However, because of Shi Chongyi's family background and the title of the founding son, his wealth and power are stronger than Liu Baozhong, a military general who was promoted by fighting.

(Until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, official products were not given indiscriminately, and it may have perished too quickly to be indiscriminate.) Wu Chen has reached the peak of the ambassador's minister, which is already quite good. Whether it can become a horizontal class or not depends on the family background and RP. Or is it like Han Yue and the two in this book have the merit of destroying the country, and they can't say anything if they don't give a horizontal class - Oscar press)

With Liu Baozhong's status, he also used a title for the manager of a manor. In his opinion, it was already enough politeness. If it weren't for General Yue's strict order, this steward would have to change the title of thief and prisoner.

The steward choked on his words and was stunned for a long time. Anyway, I am in charge of everyone, and I have seen the market. can still have the courage to raise his voice to refute: "This General Liu, what you said is unfair!" Hundreds of military horses, plus many homeless people in this life. How can I not close the village and keep myself? But General Liu acted like this, wasn't he afraid of passing it to the Hedong pacification envoy? You must know that the head of my family is an official of the Zhishi Dynasty, and he is in Taiyuan Mansion, and he can say a few words in front of the pacification envoy! ”

Liu Baozhong looked at this steward with an innocent face, and didn't bother to ask his name and surname, and said in surprise: "This person is up and down, but how do you talk about it?" The states of Yunnei were in turmoil, and the princess of the Liao people and Shu raised troops. The Jurchen Tartars went south. Now that the border area has become a mess, we are guarding the border generals, and it is too late to be on guard every day, where can we come to you to make trouble? It's not yet the tens of thousands of displaced people heading south. In such a cold weather, many people have nothing to eat, and it is not enough for us to distribute military rations. Naturally, these people have to forage for food and survive, and they will look wherever there is food. If it weren't for the fear of unrest among these homeless people. Why should we be on guard against this cold wind? What you say makes no sense! ”

The steward was stunned, and the states in Yunnei were in turmoil, and the rumors came faintly. Merchants who sold horses, salt, and tea also brought back news. The walls of some small forts that used to come and go were broken. was coerced to the big stock. It is said that it is the banner of the princess of the Great Liao Shu Kingdom. Some people also swore that they had seen the princess of Shu from afar, a fairy-like person. but he rode on a bad horse, and opened a hard bow. Wiping the forehead with a white cloth is for the Liao emperor Dai Xiao. There was a lot of commotion.

Originally, the steward was still skeptical. Now seeing the thousands of southbound refugees pouring in, it seems that this thing cannot be wrong. Hearing that the Jurchen Tartars are also involved in the south, it is even more like pouring a basin of cold water on the head in this weather. The Liao people were such a strong country, and they were all wiped out by the Jurchen Tartars. Further south, Hedong is now short of the appearance of a major general. But how can it be deserved?

Although Hedong Road has been peaceful for a long time, in the mouth of the old people, the tragic scene of the Song-Liao War is still spread by mouth.

Hundreds of thousands of troops sacrificed their lives to fight, and every night, if there are ghosts crying in the valley, it is needless to say. If you are unfortunate to be on the battlefield, it is normal for the village and town soldiers to be too washy. It is that in previous years, the Great Song Dynasty was in Sanguan until Taiyuan Tun with heavy troops, and in the conscription on Hedong Road, they were all the best in the world. It was just for the army to transport grain and grass. It can serve for many years, and travel in the ice and snow with the mountains. The fields are abandoned, and ten out of ten households are broken!

You must know that this Fanzhi County is behind the Yanmen Pass. If it is the Liao people or the Jurchen Tatars who break through the Yanmen and follow the Hutuo River Valley, it will not take a day to sweep the left near clean!

But how is this placed, how is this placed? This news had to be reported to the owner of the family in Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible. It's your own home, and you can't say that you have to fight the idea of oiling the soles of your feet. Take the opportunity to send the message and go to Taiyuan Mansion for a visit. The limelight is over. Come back and clean up the mess!

While sifting the chaff, this steward turned his mind around. Looking at this fierce general, General Liu suddenly felt a lot closer. If the Liao people and the Jurchen Tartars come quickly, their own family will not be able to get out for a while, and they have to count on this group of Qiu Baye to block them at Yanmen Pass! Regardless of these later words, now so many displaced people are coming to the door. You have to discuss it with this Liu General to solve it, right?

At that moment, a smile appeared on the steward's face, and he said affectionately: "General Liu is right." We also have hearts, how can we not feel warm? The army guarded Yanmen, and we should have sacrificed the army. The weather was too cold, so I hid and hid. Thinking about going through the New Year again, but now working as the master, it's all our sin! It was supposed to open the gate of the village and welcome the master in. In a remote village, there is nothing good, it is a wine and tender lamb, when you conspire with the general to get drunk, a group of envoys, hard work, should also be a little bit of a heart to suppress the hand. But now that so many pickled goods are here, I am also guarding the house for the head of the house, and this gate is really unopenable............ If the Lord can disperse these pickled goods, it is good to welcome the Lord into it, and dissipate it for a few days to avoid the cold. ”

This steward's attitude was respectful, and Liu Baozhong listened to it quite well. If it weren't for the fact that there was something big to do, plus Yue Fei's military discipline was strictly restricted. Just these people and horses, they are about to enter the village and disturb them. Some of the benefits are uncertain.

But under Yue Fei's command, if you add ten more guts to him, you won't dare to do these things!

The influence of a group and the person in charge is huge. Even in later generations, in different units, whether the person in charge is upright or not, has a great power to imperceptibly influence the atmosphere of this unit. Not to mention that in this era, the military is already closed and forbidden.

In this era, it is hoped that relying on system building and consciousness will make an army honest and dedicated, and have the courage to fight in public war. That's absolutely unrealistic. The generals fought with their lives, except for a little Huayi, but also for the future wealth. In addition to being able to promise them wealth and wealth, Xiao Yan is lucky to win people. Yue Fei is the commander of the army, and he is a famous general who has brought out the heroic division of the Yue family army through the ages. The system of the Shenwu Winning Army is strict, and the generals do not dare to go up and down half a step beyond the thunder pool. However, it has been in the army for a year, and it is far above the previous group of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now the Shenwu Changsheng army dares to fight, can fight, and the military discipline is strict. It has gradually become the prototype of a number of powerful armies in the era.

Liu Baozhong smacked his lips with a little regret in his heart, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to say anything, in such a cold weather, we are willing to come out for a walk?" Suppress these displaced people? People are also pitiful! Let's talk about it. The Chen family manor is considered to be famous and wealthy in Fanzhi County, so he must always send some grain and grass out so that he can distribute it to these southbound refugees? Wouldn't it be nice to have thousands of hungry people gathered here? You must know that we can't keep an eye on your Chen family from time to time! ”

The steward gritted his teeth. Knowing that it would be difficult to get over without some blood today, he stomped his feet and said, "Since General Liu has spoken, what else can he say?" I made the decision for the head of the house, and took out fifty stone rice grains and gave them to these pickled people. I beg General Liu to do his best and dismiss them as soon as possible. Don't plague us. Once it's over, I naturally have a heart for the general and his subordinates, and when the time comes, please don't dislike the general. ”

In the steward's mind, there were fifty stone of rice grain, and each of these thousands of homeless people had two or three liters, half starved and half full. That's enough for them to last two days. This Liu Baozhong just wants not to let the place erode, how can it be said, a little perfunctory, drive them to the south. What General Liu cares about next is nothing more than a lot of hard work, and how much effort they should do as a Zhuangzi.

This is a big head, a knight who looks like a hundred tigers and wolves, and it makes people feel frightened to look at. There are no hundreds. I'm afraid I can't get over.

However, his manor manages nearly 30,000 acres of the best Hutuo River Valley irrigated land in Fanzhi County, and the annual land rent handled is 11,200 stone grain and rice. As a steward, he is also at least 1,000 stone of rice grain a year. Now the price of grain is high, and the merchants who come to collect grain collect it on the spot will get a price of 410 wen. If the tenants are forcibly conscripted to serve, it will be more expensive to sell them in Taiyuan by water, and after a section of the Hutuo River, they will have to travel by land, and the foot money of one stone will be close to nine hundred wen and one stone. Zu Mo is only 770 Wen, which is much more consistent. I heard that a stone of grain in Bianliang was sold for two or three or four hundred wen. But this can only be dreamed of. Bianliang eats more grain from the south, and Hedong transports grain to the past, the mountain roads are rugged, and the foot money is added, but I am afraid that the big families will not be able to afford it!

Even if the head of the family refuses to admit it in the future. It's impossible to say that it's just a year of errand for the head of the house!

He calculated the account in his heart, and even thought about the price of Bianliang grain. I didn't notice Liu Baozhong's strange expression. Rolled his eyes from the bottom to the top and begged him, and only after a while did he speak: "Only fifty stones?" ”

The steward was alarmed, and only then did he wake up from his super-expansion, and immediately subconsciously replied: "Fifty stone is a lot!" The border land is already poor, and our Zhuangzi looks not small, but in fact, we don't have many belongings. General, I will say a word of slapping the mouth, these pickled people, just perfunctory past, starve to death a few, what do you get? ”

Liu Baozhong snorted, raised his horsewhip and drew a circle on their manor: "There is a big Zhuangzi, we have also inquired, and there are four or five thousand stones of grain in storage." Soon the Tartars are coming, and it is hard to give up the good money! Today is a true word, we want 3,000 stone of grain! Did you know that this outcasts are just the beginning? I don't know how many will come in the future! They were all raised by your parents, and you were warm and full of hiccups in the village. I can't bear to watch tens of thousands of people die all the way along the Hutuo River? Straight lady thief, we are not so hard-hearted when we fight and kill men! ”

Liu Baozhong scolded and yelled a few words, and then softened his tone: "It's just that we are preparing for the side, how can we not keep grain and grass?" Now the grain and grass have not been transported to the back. The Tartars and the Liao soldiers are forced at the door, and we have no food to guard a fart! Treacherous and not deceitful, pretty and not hidden, we only ask for this to be borrowed. Take the receipt of our opening with the Shenwu Changsheng Army to survey and cooperate with the customs defense, and go to the Taiyuan Mansion to get it back. The price of grain in Taiyuan is higher than here, and you have saved your foot money, one mile and one outside, how cheap is this? ”

The number of 3,000 stones came out, and it scared this steward like a toad that had been struck by thunder.

Although the Chen family has a lot of fields here, the grain production on Hedong Road is originally lower than that in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the operation is profitable, from the north to change horses and furs to the Great Song Dynasty to sell, all relying on grain. In the Zhuangzi, there are more than 3,000 stones of grain. If he goes out, his house will be empty. Although he is in charge, he is not the family member of the Chen family who wrote the death deed, but the Chen family is powerful, and it is not a matter of a sentence to pick his skin?

And it looks like there is going to be a war again, and this food is even more lifeline! Even if this Qiu Bajun Master keeps saying that he is borrowing, what kind of bird survey and defense. But who can say for sure? If you open the stockade and bring out the grain, others will clap their hands and leave. He could only smash an ice hole in the Hutuo River and sink his house.

Liu Baozhong still refused to give up, and his loud voice was like thunder under the wall: "If it weren't for the appeasement of the embassy for a long time to transport the military rations we deserve, why would we have to suffer so much?" Now I have to prepare for a war, raise food for myself, appease the thousands of displaced people who have come in, and finally have to suppress the place for you, for fear that you gang of thieves and soldiers will not end well! The good words have reached the twelfth point, do you borrow this grain or not? ”

Speaking of which, Liu Baozhong will also show his original face, and the manager on the wall suddenly changed to a better name in his mouth.

The steward also has a heart, and he can't borrow anything from this grain! Storing food in winter has always been unusable. It's the foundation of the town treasury. It is necessary to wait for the summer grain to be harvested before it is spent in large quantities. There is a large area of land, and the families who rely on food to make a profit are all like this. We all know that food is life. On that day, the Yanmen garrison bought grain everywhere, and he was brave enough to sell more than 100 stones. It's all a stone, close to the high price of 770 Wen. Now he doesn't give anything, and all 3,000 stones are moved out! Even if he can be brought out at the Hedong Road Transportation Envoy, he, the steward who opened the village, is dead.

At that moment, he jumped on the wall: "General Liu, you must know that there is a king's law in this world!" The head of our family also sang outside the Donghua Gate. It's not that you can offend just one ambassador! I'm here to persuade each other, and I can get over with a few dozen stones. This status is not easy to come by, so why lose it? If you want to break the village, I will wait to die. Are you afraid that you won't come? ”

Liu Baozhong saw that his cheeks were as tight as iron, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he sneered and turned around and left. Several Zhuang Ding, who had been cowering and watching from the side, hurriedly helped the softened steward and asked, "What is this?" ”

The steward only felt that his whole body was soft, and he was sweating profusely like a waterfall, and he gritted his teeth and spoke: "When it gets dark, send someone to Fanzhi County, go to Taiyuan Mansion, and poke out the matter here!" Look at this Qiu Ba dare not touch our Chen family's manor! ”
