Huayun is the general of Yuhang Yingyangfu, Yuhang Yingyangfu is the only military government in the south of the Yangtze River, reflecting the strategy of the imperial court to control the Quartet, as the only military government in the south of the Yangtze River, the scale of the Yuhang Yingyang Mansion is slightly larger, between the upper government and the middle government, but the grade of the Yingyang Lang general is still determined according to the middle military government, because the scale of the Yuhang Yingyang Mansion is slightly larger, so there are two thousand soldiers who are also farmers and soldiers, but Li Jing is not satisfied with only two thousand soldiers, under his suggestion, Huayun recruited many soldiers, and within a few months, the entire Yuhang Yingyang Mansion has developed to five thousand people

The government soldier system is a very special military system, the registered government soldiers can get the land allocated by the imperial court, and can also enjoy the preferential treatment of exemption from taxes, but at the same time, unless there is a war, the court does not bear the food and salary of the government soldiers, because Yuhang Yingyang Mansion originally only had 2,000 posts, and the extra 3,000 soldiers were actually Huayun's private soldiers, these people would not own the land provided by the imperial court for free, and could not be exempted from taxes

Because of the Changshan Village and the Changshan Carriage and Horse Hang, these 3,000 private soldiers can be well hidden, and will not be known to outsiders, but the food and salary of these 3,000 soldiers must be raised by Hua Yun himself, and Changshan Village has some land that can only barely maintain the livelihood of the villagers, and after the opening of the chūn, the production of the Changshan Salt Farm will gradually become normal, but it will provide some support, but it is not enough to feed the army of 3,000 people, as for the Changshan Carriage and Horse Shop has just started, and with the chaos in the world, business will become more and more difficult to do

Hua Yun was able to have these 3,000 private soldiers, and the biggest help was the Moling Xie family, and the biggest trouble also came from the Moling Xie family

Since last year's trip to Liu Ziqiu's tomb, the Xie family has been secretly supporting Changshan Village, the Xie family is the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, not only has a profound cultural heritage, but also has strong financial resources, with the support of the Xie family, it is not difficult to maintain an army of 3,000 people, but the Xie family also has many eyes and ears, and they have learned the news of Yang Guang's death before Changshan Village, but they have not said it and are waiting and seeing

Just last night, Xie Zhiwen, the son of the Xie family, suddenly came to Yuhang County, and with him came Wei Zheng, the county commander of Yanguan, Wei Zheng also became the county commander of Yanguan through the relationship of the Xie family, he was actually a link between the Xie family and Changshan Village, because everyone deliberately concealed the relationship between Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer, the Xie family did not know that the person behind Changshan Village would be a woman, so Xie Zhiwen came directly to find Hua Yun and Li Jing, and invited Wei Zheng by the way, in his eyes, Liu Ziqiu is not there, these three people can really speak in Changshan Village

The four of them came to the room to sit down, Xie Zhiwen said straight to the point: "The emperor died on the way to the class, I heard that the accompanying sergeants were killed six or seven out of ten, and Liu Ziqiu was also among the western expeditions, I don't know if you have any news of him."

The reason why the Xie family is willing to support Changshan Village is because Xie Wengshan's father and son are optimistic about Liu Ziqiu, to paraphrase a modern phrase, that is, to cultivate him as a potential stock, for this reason, Xie Yun even did not hesitate to marry his most beloved daughter to him, if Liu Ziqiu died in the war, the Xie family would no longer need to support Changshan Village, in Xie Wengshan's eyes, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and Hua Yun are all unworthy figures

In fact, this is also the answer that the three of them want to know, and when Xie Zhiwen mentioned Hua Yun, he blurted out: "Hua is also anxious about this matter."

Although Wei Zheng was also anxious in his heart, he was unwilling to show it in front of Xie Zhiwen, and said with a smile: "The Lord Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will be fine."

Li Jing also nodded and said, "I don't have to worry about the second brother's skills."

Although Xie Zhiwen is young, he has lived in such a huge family since he was a child, and his ability to observe words and observe is naturally far better than ordinary people, and he heard that Wei Zheng and Li Jing's words were perfunctory, and Huayun's performance was the true expression of their hearts, Xie Zhiwen smiled, no longer entangled in Liu Ziqiu's whereabouts, waved his hand and said: " Since you have a lot of confidence in Brother Ziqiu, Xie Mou didn't say much, but Xie Mou also heard that there was one thing, although the Wang family was ruined, but there was a son, Wang Bo, who was in Hebei, took advantage of the chaos to pull up a team, and you also know one or two of the grievances of the two families, I'm afraid that Wang Bo will not give up."

As the news of Yang Wen's death gradually spread, thieves broke out in Hebei and Shandong, and even Lu Mingyue, who had disappeared for a long time, also reappeared, these news, Li Jing and others naturally heard about it, and now Wang Bo has also risen up, and it is normal for the Xie family to be worried, Wei Zheng and Li Jing glanced at each other and said: "Childe, rest assured, the Changshan Carriage and Horse Guild will keep an eye on him, and tell Childe as soon as there is news."

Xie Zhiwen shook his head and said, "My father asked Xie to come and discuss something with you, hoping to be able to station a team of soldiers and horses in Moling Town in case of emergency."

The Xie family is the biggest financier in Changshan Village, without the support of the Xie family, Hua Yun and the others would not have been able to secretly establish such an armed force, and the Xie family's request was reasonable

Li Jing said with a smile: "This is easy to know, so I will transfer a thousand soldiers and horses to secretly enter Moling Town, and we must ensure the safety of the Xie family."

There are many children of the Xie family, but they are all scholars, and they can have such a soldier and horse to ensure safety, Xie Zhiwen naturally feels a lot more at ease, but when he was leaving, Xie Zhiwen said something again: "The north is gradually chaotic, and the Xie family's business will definitely be affected, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to give more support to Changshan Village in the future."

Xie Zhiwen's words are not false, there has indeed been turmoil in the north, in addition to the three emperors in Longxi, Chang'an, and Luoyang at the same time, there are more than a dozen bands of thieves, large and small, among which the larger ones are Lu Mingyue, Wei Xiaofei, Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang and others

Some local officials were also uneasy, Ma Yi Yingyang Fulang killed Liu Wuzhou, Taishou Wang Rengong gathered more than 10,000 troops and established himself as Taishou, which had the intention of separating one side, and Wang Shichong, the palace supervisor of Jiangdu, was entrenched in Huainan, and also began to recruit troops and horses, gradually showing dissent

The Xie family has their own source of news, but Xie Zhiwen just said it lightly and did not talk about it deeply, but all the people present are smart people, so they naturally understand what he means, which not only adds a touch of sorrow to Hua Yun's already worried mind, but also makes the two thousand private soldiers in Hua Yun's hands become a hot potato, if there is no financial support from the Xie family, these two thousand people will not be paid, and these people have undergone strict military training, and they must not be disbanded rashly, once disbanded, it is difficult to say whether these people will become thieves

This is Hua Yun's biggest trouble, he must do his best to keep these two thousand private soldiers, or find a way out for them, fortunately, Xie Zhiwen is here to just throw stones to ask for directions, and there is still room for maneuver, but Li Jing and Wei Zheng are thinking more far-reaching than Hua Yun, they have already considered finding another source of wealth to reduce their dependence on the Xie family

……

Liu Ziqiu was far away in the West China Sea, the road was blocked, the news was not smooth, he didn't even know that Li Yuan had supported Yang Gao, Liu Ziqiu was also eager to know the situation in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, but the news couldn't get through, and he was helpless, but Liu Ziqiu's most important task at present was to stabilize the situation in the West Sea, and he even ordered to cut off the connection with Longxi and adopt a policy of closing the country

Closing the country to the outside world in the course of Chinese history is definitely not a compliment, nor is it a good strategy, but Liu Ziqiu can only do this, although he eliminated Murong Fuyun, but there is still a long way to go to fully control Xihai County, at this time, stability is the overriding thing, and the influence of the outside world on Xihai must be reduced

Time is like a river flowing unhurriedly and flowing continuously, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed, and the ice and snow covering the West Sea wasteland have gradually melted, and the green grass has stubbornly drilled out of the soil, quickly covering the earth with a layer of green, and the grazing season is coming

Due to the defeat of Murong Fuyun, Xihai lost a large number of people, but there are always two sides to things, and there are bad things and good sides, and the loss of population also makes the originally tense pastures of Xihai become richer, and various tribes are destined not to quarrel over pastures, which will be a calm and peaceful grazing season

The ice on the West Sea Lake has completely melted, the blue water seems to be inlaid in the grassland, a sapphire shines, the sky is also blue, the white clouds are scattered, the wind blows through the clouds in the sky, and from time to time changes various shapes, the green grass on the lakeside ripples with the wind

Liu Ziqiu took Lin Qiaoer's mother and son and Yang Qi to stroll by the lake, and when he saw such a beautiful scenery, his worried mood also relaxed, and he couldn't help but chant loudly: "The sky under the mountain is like a dome, covering the four fields, the sky is vast, the wind blows the grass, and the blood of the cow and sheep boy is low, and the hero sè is for me, the river and the sea echo, the mountains and the lonely water, and the water is running vertically and horizontally, highlighting the edge."

Although Jin Bo is sinister and cunning, he does not lose his talent, and he often recites poems at home, and he is smart and intelligent, and over time, he can also hear some meanings, and now when he hears Liu Ziqiu chanting this "Song of Ele", he can't help but look at Liu Ziqiu with admiration: "I didn't expect that the king was actually full of civil and military strength."

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and smiled: "This poem is not written by me, it's just this situation, this scene, borrowing other people's poems to express my emotions, one day, if there is no dispute in the world, I really hope to herd horses and sheep in this wasteland."

Most of the poems that Jin Bo usually sings are wind flowers and snow moons, Lin Qiao'er doesn't know that this is the poetry of his predecessors, but it is understandable, since the events of that night, the relationship between Lin Qiaoer and Liu Ziqiu has made a breakthrough, although Liu Ziqiu affirmed that it was not her own doing, she still leaned on Liu Ziqiu's arms and said softly: "Even if it is not made by the king, it is extraordinary to read it from the mouth of the king."

Liu Ziqiu laughed and was about to explain to her, when she saw Ji Rentai Pegasus coming and said loudly: "The princess Qianyu is here."
