After another three days of busy official business, Wang Xu finally couldn't help it, suddenly dropped the bamboo slip in his hand, frowned, and said: "What's going on, forget if there is no news from Han Meng's side, why is there no news from Changsha?" ”

Feeling the worry in Wang Xu's heart, Xu Shu, who was accompanying her to help review the official documents, couldn't help but smile slightly, and comforted softly: "Husband, haven't you already sent someone to see it?" Wait, I guess there will be news soon. Let's talk about Yi Dian Wei's martial arts, he wants to go, and few people can stop him, so you don't have to worry so much. ”

"Hey!" Sighing, Wang Xu said with some uncertainty: "No, I want to go in person, Dian Wei must not have a problem!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu thought about it and couldn't help but nodded: "It's okay!" Anyway, I don't think you have the heart to review these official documents, so go out and relax! ”

After speaking, the two were about to get up, but the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the study: "General, the guard is back!" ”

"Really?" Wang Xu was suddenly overjoyed, and immediately rushed over and opened the door: "Are you serious? ”

"Hmm!" The guard nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "How dare your subordinates deceive the general?" It was news from the guards at the city gate, and it should be true. That's why I came to report to you at once, and I've heard that there are quite a few people coming! ”

"Hahaha...... It must have been Dian Wei who invited them. Saying that, Wang Xu couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and immediately turned his head and said, "Wife, I'm going to pick up Huan Steps!" ”

Seeing Wang Xu's excited look, Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh "poof": "Okay! Go ahead, I'll review these documents for you! ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Xu didn't have the heart to say more, even if he left quickly with the guards.

As soon as he walked out of the Taishou Mansion, he suddenly saw Dian Wei slowly riding his horse, and there were two young scribes riding side by side. And behind them there was a long procession, several carriages, which looked a lot like family members and servants.

Just when Wang Xu was looking carefully, Dian Wei also found Wang Xu, immediately turned over and dismounted, and rushed over in a hurry: "Lord, I'm back." ”

"Hahaha...... It's good to be back, it's good to be back! I'm worried about what's going on your way, and I've sent several groups of people out to look for you. ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei immediately smiled innocently, and was about to answer, but the two scribes had already walked over. Among them, the scribe, who was taller and had a short beard under his chin, already smiled heartily: "This is a sin. Because I had heard the general's name for a long time, and I was fortunate to be appreciated by the general and warmly invited, I decided to move my family here. can sell land and family property, and bring the old and young with the family, but it has been delayed a lot of time, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu was very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he only smiled slightly, and was about to ask who this person was, Dian Wei had already preemptively said: "Lord, this is Huan Jie, Huan Bo continued!" The one next to him is his younger brother, Huan Su, Huan Boxiu. ”

"Hahaha! I didn't expect Bo Xu and Bo Xiu to come with their families, which really touched me, and I would be surprised. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu was about to take the two of them into the Taishou Mansion, but the public feud said that he suddenly ran out of the mansion: "Haha! Brother Bo Xu, Brother Bo Xiu, you two are really here! ”

"Wenliang! Long time no see! Haha......" The two were also excited when they saw their old friends, and immediately burst into laughter.

Huan Su immediately teased: "General Wang has both ability and political integrity, which is rare in the world. If my brother and I don't come to serve again, won't you preempt us? ”

It seemed that he was used to such jokes, and Gong Qiucheng glanced at Huan Su indifferently, and replied with a smile: "I'm already before you, how can I rob it?" ”

Seeing that the relationship between the three of them was very good, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, but he still immediately interjected: "Wen Liang, you quickly go and buy a mansion for the two of you, settle their families, and the money will be paid by the county government!" ”

Hearing this, the public enemy said that he was about to answer the fate. Na Huan Jie shook his head abruptly and said, "General, no!" How can I wait for the first time to come? We still have to do the affairs of this mansion ourselves, so the general doesn't have to worry about it. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Xu to answer, he had already turned around and walked quickly to the ear of an attendant behind him to say something. After a while, he walked back and said, "General, I have arranged the affairs of my family in my subordinates." ”

Seeing this, Wang Xu had a higher evaluation of Huanjie in his heart, and immediately walked between the two of them affectionately, took the hands of the two Huanjie brothers and said, "Go!" Come with me into the house and talk about it in detail. ”

Everyone walked into the Taishou Mansion with a smile, and Wang Xu, in order to show courtesy, brought Huan Jie and Huan Su to the study of his backyard mansion.

However, when the two Huanjie brothers saw that Xu Shu was reviewing the official document, they were stunned for a moment at first, but then reacted. Huan Jie immediately laughed and said, "General, could it be that this is Mrs. Wang who is famous in Jingzhou?" ”

Xu Shu also came back to her senses at this moment, and without waiting for Wang Xu to reply, she took the initiative to stand up, bowed slightly and said, "The honorable driver said that he was laughing." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Xu, and then continued: "I'll go and prepare tea for everyone, please sit down for a while!" ”

"Mrs. Wang really tortures us, we will be the ministers, how can I let Mrs. make tea! No, no! Hearing this, Huan Jie immediately waved his hand again and again.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Xu Shu couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "You are a guest from afar, and it should be so." After speaking, he bowed slightly, and walked out of the study with a generous demeanor.

Seeing Xu Shu go away, Huan Jie suddenly turned his head and sighed: "General, I only heard that Mrs. Zun is proficient in battle formations and familiar with government affairs, but I don't know that she is still so beautiful, noble and elegant!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was also in a good mood, after all, Xu Shu always gave him face at critical times, of course he was happy. However, he still said politely: "Hehe, Bo continued to say this, but it is really a prize." ”

As soon as the words fell, the accompanying public feud said that he immediately took over: "Why did the lord say this, the lord mother is a strange woman in the world, and this praise is just right." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the two Huanjie brothers with a smile: "Bo Xu, Bo Xiu!" After getting along for a long time in the future, you will know how powerful the master mother is. You also know that I have rarely been convinced in my life, let alone a woman. But the housewife is different, she is the only woman I sincerely admire! ”

As soon as these words came out, Huan Jie and Huan Su immediately looked at each other, as close friends of the public enemy, of course the two knew each other's details. I was really surprised to hear that the public feud said such things suddenly.

Seeing this, Gong Qiu said that he smiled slightly, and as soon as his voice changed, he continued: "However, this is not as good as the Lord's case, and you will know that what I said is true in the future!" ”

But when Wang Xu heard this, he was worried that the Huanjie brothers would think that he was the kind of person who liked to listen to boasting, so he couldn't help but interrupt loudly: "Wenliang, what you said is not right, don't exaggerate!" ”

Hearing this, Gong Qiu said that he smiled, but he didn't say anything more, and slowly fell silent.

Wang Xu turned around at this time, and saw that everyone was still standing, so he immediately pointed to the mattress in the study and said, "Don't stand, everyone, let's sit down and talk!" Please! ”

"Thank you, General!" Huan Jie and Huan Su were not hypocritical, and sat down with Wang Xu happily.

Smiling and glancing at the two of them, Wang Xu was reluctant to continue to be polite, and immediately turned to the topic: "Bo Xu, Bo Xiu!" I have heard the talent of the two of you say it, and I am also deeply admired, I wonder if there is a good way to build a good foundation for the restoration and development of Lingling County? ”

As soon as these words came out, Huan Jie and Huan Su immediately glanced at each other, they really didn't expect Wang Xu to be so frank and direct, but they also had a good impression in an instant.

Huan Su's personality seemed to be a little more flamboyant, and after a while, he replied with a smile: "General, it's not a secret, we have already learned about your latest decree along the way, and I am also very impressed by my brother and I, and we have also discussed many problems that need to be solved." ”

"Oh? Please also make it clear! Wang Xu suddenly said politely.

Huan Su didn't hesitate, smiled slightly, and already gave up: "First, in our opinion, the general's measures are all temporary measures and have nothing to do with the long-term. Such non-specific decrees can easily cause confusion. For example, if you don't point out how to divide the field and the size of the division, it may be barely implemented now, but after a long time, there will be chaos! However, this question must have been thought of by the generals. Maybe it's going to stabilize Lingling first, and then promulgate it specifically, so I won't say more about it below. ”

"And the second point is that the current decree does not contain how to accommodate the hungry people who have been plundered by bandits. This is very important, if they are allowed to do so, it will not be long before they see many people starving to death, and I hope the general will consider it! ”

"Thirdly, there is no measure to house thieves now, and this aspect can actually be put to good use when there is a shortage of manpower."

"Fourth, the barbarians in the west and south are also under their rule, and the existing decrees will not work for them at all, and will even cause unrest!"

"Fifth, the post stations and river traffic on the official roads of the county should be restored quickly, which is the foundation of economic and production recovery."

"Sixth, a lot of land has lost its owner due to thieves, and if it is not dealt with quickly, there will be large areas of vacant land."

"Seventh, water conservancy projects are now unattended, and if people are not quickly dispatched to take care of them, the consequences of flooding will be unimaginable."

"Eighth, traitors among wealthy landlords should be investigated and dealt with quickly, otherwise the evidence will be lost after a long time."

"Ninth, many wealthy landlords fled in the war, and according to the law, the large tracts of land they left behind should be confiscated and disposed of."

"Tenth, effective measures should be taken to encourage and support workshops and artisans to start production quickly. and quickly opened up trade with other counties to meet the basic needs of the people. ”

After saying ten things in one breath, Huan Su breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "General, in the next time, I will talk about things, if there is anything wrong with the words, I hope to forgive me!" ”

Wang Xu, who had already been able to hear it, was called back to his senses at this time, and immediately shook his head again and again, and sighed generally: "This is completely a good word, what's wrong!" It's just easier said than done. I have discussed most of the issues mentioned by Bo Xiu with everyone, but unfortunately it is difficult to implement them because of the lack of manpower! ”

Hearing this, Huan Jie hesitated for a moment before slowly continuing: "General, in fact, this is only the most urgent problem to be solved, and there are still more problems to be solved if we really want Lingling to get back on track." And it must be done by next spring, otherwise the second half of next year will be difficult. In other words, it's actually only three or four months. ”

As Huan Jie's voice fell, Wang Xu already had a deep understanding of the two of them, and immediately did not hesitate, and said sternly: "Bo Xu, let's do it!" I will appoint you as Hu Cao Peng on the same day to help me quickly stabilize Lingling, how! ”

Huan Jie suddenly nodded solemnly: "General rest assured, I am determined to do my best!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned his head and said, "Bo Xiu, I appoint you as Cang Cao Peng, in charge of the treasury of money and grain, and assist in the dispatch of all parties. ”

"The general trusts him so much, he must do his best!" Huan Su also immediately surrendered to the order.

"Well, that's the case, time is running out now. I don't think it's better for the two of you to go to work right away, how about it? ”

I thought this was a bit abrupt, but when I heard this, Huan Jie and Huan Su suddenly glanced at each other, and laughed together: "It's really a blessing for me to be able to serve under someone as diligent as the general!"
