Ding Zhuang, who had promised to take over several villages in Bishan, gradually dispersed and found a place for them under the guidance of the officers and soldiers.

The villagers dispersed one after another, and the men also went to the barracks where the army was stationed under the guidance of several officers and soldiers who were responsible for receiving new recruits.

Feeling the sad eyes, Liu Wei stopped and turned his head to look at the person standing in the corner.

"Your Highness!" When Liu Wei turned his head, the figure walked out of the corner and called him crisply.

"Huanniang, it's getting late, why don't you go back to rest?" Seeing the people walking towards him, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said, "It's going to be dark in a while, go back and rest." ”

"The slave family will not go back!" Standing in front of Liu Wei, Tao Huanniang lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and just opened her mouth to speak, her pretty face was already red: "I have been traveling for several days, and His Royal Highness's clothes are dirty and tight, and the slave family wants to stay here and wash clothes for His Highness." ”

Tao Huanniang's words reminded Liu Wei of the days when he had just escaped from Luoyang and lived in Taojiazhuang, and Tao Huanniang helped him wash his clothes every day.

"Don't bother Huanniang, I have a soldier to help me......" Although he was very nostalgic for the life in Taojiazhuang that day, Liu Wei didn't want Tao Huanniang to take care of his life as he did at the beginning, so he hurriedly refused.

"His Royal Highness's personal soldiers are all rough men...... Tao Huanniang raised her head, pursed her lips, and said to him softly: "It's still the slave family to wash the pulp for His Highness, come cleaner!" ”

As soon as he said half of the refusal, he was blocked back by Tao Huanniang, looking at Tao Huanniang's eyes with a little sadness, Liu Wei couldn't continue to refuse no matter what, so he had to nod and said to her: "When the Japanese army opens the treasury tomorrow, there will be new clothes, and this shirt is also torn, so there is really no need to wash it." The king wants to eat bacon, Huanniang and go back to rest, and come back tomorrow to make a piece of bacon for the king. ”

With Liu Wei's promise, Tao Huanniang bowed slightly, and said softly: "The slave family retires!" ”

Nodding at Tao Huanniang, and seeing her walk to the door of the official mansion, Liu Weicai shook his head and smiled, and said to the soldiers standing on the side: "Find some hot water for this king, this king wants to take a hot bath." ”

"No!" Two or three of his own soldiers answered, and trotted to the quarters.

After the soldiers left, Liu Wei reached out and grabbed his collar and sniffed it, and he wrinkled his nose with the smell of sweat. Walking through the woods for more than ten days in a row, I had to be busy with the road every day, and I had no time to wash my body, let alone take off the only piece of clothing to wash it, and it was indeed time to take a good shower and change into a set of clean clothes.

Tao Huanniang, who had just walked to the gate of the official mansion, heard Liu Wei's instructions to several personal soldiers, lowered her head and thought for a while, and walked out of the official compound quickly.

However, she did not return to the accommodation that the officers and soldiers had found for her, but walked towards the treasury not far from the official mansion.

Liu Wei proposed to take a bath, and the soldiers made a fire and carried water, and it took a long time to burn most of the wooden barrels of hot water.

This kind of wooden barrel is not a wooden barrel for carrying water, but a special wooden barrel for the bathing of wealthy families.

The barrel was half a man's height and was made of sturdy and moisture-resistant sandalwood, and it took nearly two hours for the soldiers to burn most of the hot water after Liu Wei's order.

After sending off the villagers and entangled with Tao Huanniang for a while, Liu Wei returned to the main hall of the official mansion after instructing his soldiers to boil water for him, and asked two soldiers to go to the study of Dayang Ling to help him find some classics.

His understanding of the end of the Han Dynasty is only limited to a book of romances he has read in the past, and he has lived in this era for many days, and Liu Wei deeply feels that his understanding of this era is not enough to support him to survive in the troubled times.

A Xu Shu, knowledge and insights have far surpassed him, in the late Han Dynasty, where there are many talents, although there are few people who are stronger than Xu Shu, but it is not nothing.

Surviving and finding a foothold in this era is not as simple as you think. At present, although there is Xu Shu, Wu has Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others, but once he competes with stronger figures, Liu Wei still has no chance of winning at all.

The only way to improve the odds of victory and increase the possibility of survival is to take advantage of your leisure time to make up for some knowledge about this era.

The soldiers who went to look for the classics were all illiterate in big characters, Liu Wei asked them to find some books, and the two of them went into the study to rummage through, and helped Liu Wei carry a large basket of bamboo slips out.

Bringing bamboo slips, a soldier took out a book slip from the basket and spread it flat on the table, while another soldier took off the white candle on the candlestick, dripped two **** in the corner of the table, and stood the white candle on the table.

The dim candlelight shone on the bamboo slips, and Liu Wei leaned down to carefully look at every word on the bamboo slips.

The pro-soldiers who came out with bamboo slips, coincidentally, happened to take out a volume of county chronicles that introduced the folk customs of the Dayang area.

Looking at the words on the bamboo slip word by word, Liu Wei's brows gradually twisted.

After reading the last word on the bamboo slip, Liu Wei grabbed the bamboo slip, threw it to the side, and scolded: "Shameless!" ”

Several soldiers standing in the hall looked at him with indignation on their faces, and they all looked at him with stunned faces, not knowing who provoked him.

"Why is Your Highness worried?" As soon as the bamboo slips were thrown out, Xu Shu's voice came from outside the hall, and then Xu Shu raised his feet and walked into the hall, clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to Liu Wei and said: "I have ordered someone to count the treasury, and there are not many copper coins in the treasury, which is only enough to pay a military salary once." ”

"What about the officials' wealth?" Liu Wei frowned, raised his eyes to look at Xu Shu, and asked him, "Have you confiscated the officials' family wealth?" ”

"Copyed!" Xu Shu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu Wei: "I was really surprised by the confiscation of officials' family wealth, a small county man, and the wealth and goods at home are nearly twice as much as the government treasury!" Not to mention Da Yang Ling's family wealth! ”

"Damn it!" Liu Wei gritted his teeth and scolded hatefully: "If it weren't for the military advisor who reminded the king that indiscriminately killing officials would be detrimental to the future, this time the king would definitely cut them with a thousand knives!" ”

"Why is His Highness Fang Cai annoyed?" Xu Shu didn't answer Liu Wei's words, but asked him: "Since Yuan has followed His Highness, I have never seen His Highness move so much!" ”

"See for yourself!" He muttered at the bamboo slip that he threw to the ground, Liu Wei frowned, and said to Xu Shu: "When I entered the city, I saw that Dayang was destitute, and the officials in the city actually recorded their merits in the county annals!" ”

Walking to the bamboo slip that was thrown on the ground by Liu Bian, Xu Shu bent down, picked up the bamboo slip, and briefly browsed it, before he smiled, rolled up the bamboo slip, and said to Liu Bian: "If Your Highness is worried about this matter, you really shouldn't be!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu said that he shouldn't be angry, Liu Wei frowned, looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Shouldn't you be annoyed if you are so brazen?" ”

"Your Highness, rest easy!" Liu Wei's reaction was a little fierce, but Xu Shu smiled and said to him: "The state can't order it, the officials have their own side, and they all have the power of life and death over the residents in the territory." If the county chronicles are written by me, in order to please the officials, I will not write about the evil deeds, but only the merits. If you don't have merit, even if you make it up, you will make it up. ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Shu said this, completely beyond Liu Wei's expectations, he wrinkled his brows, stared at Xu Shu without blinking, and asked, "If the matter is handed over to the military advisor, the military advisor will also record it like this?" ”

"It must be so!" Xu Shu bowed slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "People live in the world, they must know the rules of survival, for example, Your Highness, although you are furious now, you have not ordered all the evil officials in Dayang City to be killed, isn't it also for the sake of plotting the world in the future?" ”

"What the military advisor said is true!" The corners of Liu Wei's mouth twitched, and he said to Xu Shu with a wicked smile: "Out of his heart, this king really wants to kill them as soon as possible!" The military advisor can send an order tomorrow, and the daily prison only needs to give the Dayang officials some bran and forage to feed their stomachs, and they can't kill them, but they should suffer some living crimes! ”

Just as he was talking to Xu Shu, a soldier in charge of boiling water walked into the hall, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the hot water is already boiling, please go and take a bath." ”

Knowing that the soldiers had boiled hot water, Liu Wei stood up and said to Xu Shu: "I haven't washed my body for many days, and it's really uncomfortable. This king goes and washes, and the military advisor should rest in peace! ”

Clenched his fists and bowed to watch Liu Wei walk out of the hall, Xu Shu raised his heels and walked out of the main hall.

When he arrived outside the hall, he grabbed the soldier who reported to Liu Bian that the hot water had been burned, and whispered an order to him, the soldier nodded a few times, and followed Liu Bian to the Mu room.

In the bath room, a bathtub with half a bucket of hot water is placed in the middle of the room. On the side of the barrel hangs a small cloth bag.

There are more than ten green leaves stuffed in the cloth bag, the leaves are oval, the leaves are thick, Liu Wei took out a piece, pinched it in his hand, fleshy, and felt very comfortable.

Under the service of the pro-soldiers, he took off his clothes and armor, and the naked Liu Wei waved his hand to the pro-soldiers who entered the bath room with him and ordered: "You retreat!" ”

The soldiers responded and exited the room.

Along the bamboo ladder next to the barrel on the wooden barrel, Liu Wei first sat on the barrel, put one foot in the water and took a dip, the water temperature was obviously tried by the soldiers before, it was not hot or cold, just suitable for bathing.

Jumping into the bucket and stirring up a splash, Liu Wei squatted in the hot water, and poured the hot water on his shoulders with his hands, while inhaling comfortably.

was enjoying the comfort and comfort of the body soaked in the hot water, the door of the bath room was gently opened, and through the steaming mist, Liu Wei saw a petite figure holding some things like clothes in both hands, and walked into the bath room lightly.
