Chapter Forty-Eight: Qinghe Settles
Qinghe County Ya got people from the capital who said that there was chaos in the city. The specifics are unknown.
Although Shen Wuji is anxious, as the chief catcher of a county, he can't leave the place privately.
Qin Zhao was the new commander of Qinghe County, and when he heard the news, he sent officials to visit. But those who went turned back halfway.
The road to Weidu is only in, and there is martial law in the army! The entire Qin Mansion was anxious. I just hope that Ruoli and Quiet can return safely!
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the head of the city of Qinghe County, one of the native soldiers guarding the city saw in the distance, there were flags and banners. A well-aligned team walked ahead. Everyone carried a halberd.
There are also a lot of carriages in the back, and a crowd of people supporting the old and the young. "Look! Where did that team come from? Close the gates! He shouted to his companions. Everyone hurriedly closed the city gates. Then they all went up to the city and watched.
There was a sharp-eyed soldier who recognized the man who was sitting on the horse. "Isn't that the eldest young master of the Qin Mansion, the great treasurer of Qin?" He said in surprise.
The soldiers at the head of the city shouted: "Is the person who came to be the treasurer of Qin? ”
"It's me, Qin Yisheng!"
"Who is the big shopkeeper carrying?"
"We're all from the capital! Take refuge! The prince and princess are also back! ”
Someone flew to the county government to report.
Soon, the gates of the city opened. Qin Zhao and Wuji took everyone out. "Where's the quiet? Where's my Jing'er? Qin Zhao split the crowd to look for it.
Ruoli got out of the carriage quietly. Her face was still very pale. Bumpy ride. The wound is still oozing blood. "Jing'er, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Zhao took her hand and wept bitterly. "My brother, don't cry. You are the county lord, people look at it indecently! Am I not going home? Quiet comforted him.
Someone in the crowd of onlookers asked: "Lord, you are not an official in the capital, why did you return to your hometown again?" ”
"There are people in the capital who are making trouble, I will bring my fellow villagers and some sergeants here to avoid trouble!"
Quiet was carried to the back hall of the county government in a soft sedan chair. Qin Zhao invited a famous doctor in the county to treat him. He personally poured water for the tea and fed the decoction with medicine. It's embarrassing to make a separation.
Jing Jing called Ruoli to the bedside and explained to him: "This brother of mine is about the same as a girl. Say something that doesn't make sense. Although we are servants of the Lord, we are sisters. You see his soft and weak appearance, not inferior to me, but better than me! Since childhood, we have eaten at the same table and slept together. Not each other. Don't get him wrong, husband. ”
"I found out that Master Qin was wearing an official uniform. It's fun to be able to wear a women's skirt hairpin! Ruoli said jokingly. Quietly covered her mouth and smiled. Qin Zhao's face was flushed. "You husband and wife will team up to bully me, an outsider!"
"Brother, come here, look at you small-minded, I really don't know how you became an official!" She took Qin Zhao's hand and said angrily.
"I'm an official. Uncle Wuji, whatever you say, I'll say it, in fact, Uncle Wuji is the county master. I'm just playing in that chair! He was so proud.
"Then why didn't Shen Wuji justifiably promote the court and file a case?" Ruoli asked in surprise. "Although Wuji is talented, he is a martial arts practitioner and has no fame. There is an iron law in this dynasty, and you can't be an official without fame! So I sang a double reed with Mowgli, which was also very fun! ”
Qin Zhao seems to have a very special emotion for Shen Wuji. There is intimacy between the words. Jing Jing asked him: "Brother, do you think it's really good that you are such an official?" He raised his eyebrows, "Sister, you know me, since I was a child, I have practiced fuqin and acrobatics." The eight-strand article, the book of sages, I don't like it very much. I play the guqin, and you dance the hu dance. I play a puppet opera, you sing poetry, that's a great joy in life! ”
"Can my brother play the piano and sing now?" Silence came interest. Qin Zhao looked a little lost, "Now that I have made this bird county order, I rarely have time to play the piano and dance!" It feels a little rusty! ”
"If you leave, can you play the piano?" Be quiet and ask if you leave.
"When I was young, I studied with the pianist of the royal palace. But I can only understand the rhythm slightly! But if there is a pedigree, you can also draw a scoop according to the gourd. ”
Quiet is a pleasure. "Brother, you give Ruoli your piano score. Let me see your sideshow! ”
"That's fine, it's empty today. We might as well have a small meeting! "His eyes were shining. In the back hall empty field. Set up a paulownia guqin. If you leave your hands and burn incense, start stroking the harp.
Qin Zhao was dressed in a blue light gauze robe. Embroidered red peony, golden phoenix. Wearing a bamboo mask. Long hair is casually draped on the back, fluttering!
Or spinning, or jumping, or soft and elegant, or cheerful and sad. The anger and sorrow of the world are all interpreted in his dance. He sang softly with his lips:
"O beautiful woman! Fly with me,
May I be a winged bird that flies in the sky.
small bridge flowing water,
It's still there,
Yesterday the yellow flower people were haggard.
O twilight drum and morning bell,
My heart is disheartened.
The prosperity is gone,
How many more people can return?
If only I was drunk and you were not drunk,
Play a song of spring and autumn!
White Crane Fly! ”
Let's dance at the end of the song. If you get up from the high-five. "Good, good! This song should only be in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times! Brother Zhao, the song and dance is really like a fairy descending to earth! Jing'er, you two are a must! ”
Lying quietly on the bed, he smiled slightly, "My brother is a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance." is still Zhuge Liang, who is very smart. We are together to assist you, just like the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, assisting Shu Han. Ruoli laughed, "I can't be Uncle Liuhuang, it's enough to be Emperor Dashun!" ”
Quiet and disgusted: "This idea is even wilder and weirder. Shun is one of the five ancient emperors, besides, who is Empress Nuying? My brother, I can't be your concubine! ”
Ruoli smiled: "If you don't want to be a concubine, you can always be handsome!" ”
"Do it handsomely! Please seal my emperor! Quietly teased.
"Then give a handsome title, can you do it?"
"Do. Do it! "Quiet and happy smile.
"You guys make trouble! Fragrant! Is there still a stinky handsome? Qin Zhao was amused by these two "naughty boys".
Quietly said: "We brought so many people, Qinghe County is not big, shouldn't we think of a way to arrange it?" ”
Qin Zhao said: "Since you have named me a fragrant handsome, there must be generals and soldiers, and then, the soldiers must have military supplies and grass." Someone has to go to the reclamation and open up the wasteland. Aren't people sent away? ”
"Great idea!"
The next day. Qin Zhao came to find Wuji.
"Uncle Wuji, I discussed with Ruoli and Jing'er yesterday, and I am going to form a team to protect the territory and the people in this county. What do you think? ”
"That's a good idea. But this man needs more food, where does the military supply come from? “
"There are large areas of uncultivated wasteland outside the county. In normal times, troops can be trained while reclaiming land. In wartime, you can wear armor and kill the enemy! ”
"Yes, so what's the name of this team?" Mowgli asked.
Qin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Xiliu Camp!" The most famous troops of the Han Dynasty were named after this. ”
"Okay, then gather the squires of each town to discuss a specific plan."
"Without further ado, send the county officials to inform you immediately!" Qin Zhao immediately ordered to go down.
In a few hours, the leaders of the towns were all there. In the hall of the county government, there were two rows of seats. Quiet, also with the support of Ruoli, came outside and sat on the soft couch.
Qin Zhao briefly explained the situation. After everyone listened, they began to talk about each other. Old Lady Qin stood up.
"It's a good thing, and now it's a troubled time. If there is no arm, the safety of the villagers is not guaranteed. I propose that in addition to the willow battalion, there should be an additional patrol battalion. The main duty of this battalion is to stabilize the place and catch thieves and criminals. If there is a battle, you can fight together! ”
"Then it costs money to raise soldiers, where does this food and silver money come from?" A squire asked Old Lady Qin.
Qin Yisheng stood up and arched his hand, "Ladies and gentlemen, my Yisheng ticket number is that there are semicolons all over the Central Plains, and all the income is used as military expenses, which is enough for all the sergeants to pay for ten years!" ”
Everyone picked up their thumbs. This one took the lead, this one five thousand, that one ten thousand, and donated millions of silver dollars.
At this time, someone proposed, "This county raises soldiers, and it does not comply with the system." One day the court settled, which was suspected of rebellion. So we have to come up with a foolproof solution. ”
Qin Yisheng smiled and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago. It's easy to solve. Ruoli is the emperor's clan relative, and he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Works. Although the Ministry of Industry does not have soldiers, the ranks are equal. Can also lead the troops. It is called the Great Shangshu, and the Qinghe Festival is the envoy. ”
Ruoli hurriedly excused himself: "I'm just a free king, look at the farming is still reluctant, let me govern the army, I can't do it!" ”
Quietly smiled and said, "Husband, don't shirk!" With me and my brother shaking a fan for you, you can rest assured! All the squires agreed.
Ruoli said: "Then I'll be in it for the time being!" If there is a good candidate, I will let Xian immediately! ”
Next, it is time to set up the official government. Qin Yisheng is the counselor of Shangshu Mansion, and Qin Zhao is the head of the Xiliu Battalion. Shen Wuji is the head of the patrol battalion. Each of its subordinates has a general.
"Why doesn't the princess have a title?" A squire asked.
"The princess will also open a weaving and dyeing workshop to make military uniforms for the soldiers." Ruoli explained.
"After opening the weaving and dyeing room, the girls in Qinghe have something to do! On weekdays, weaving and spinning and cutting clothes. In his spare time, he also practiced military affairs, which was prepared. Quiet said.
"Then set up a women's camp. It's called Camp Red Shirts. Qin Zhao said.
"That's a great idea!" Everyone said in unison.
"Now we have the Kingdom of Qi in the north and the Kingdom of Jin in the south, and they are all eyeing my Great Wei. Therefore, the necessary fortifications should be strengthened immediately. My Wei capital is in chaos, if they know about it, they will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob. If necessary, send out a report to keep an eye out for their movements. Do know yourself and know your opponent before you can strike first. Quiet said.
"As it should be!" Qin Zhao said.
Ruoli said to Wuji: "General Shen, you immediately select four shrewd and capable soldiers in your patrol battalion. Sent to the State of Qi and the State of Jin respectively. Let them carefully explore the movements of the two countries. "Mowgli took the order and went out.
After the matter was discussed, the big guy was left quietly to eat in the inner house. Everyone couldn't excuse themselves, so they went.
The feast is very simple, fish, chicken, duck, and some vegetables and fruits. But everyone was in a good mood.
Qinghe was originally just a small county town, but now it has become the station of the Jiedu envoy, and everyone is a little excited.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. If you stand up and salute, "I am only a shallow learner, thanks to everyone's love." We must do our best to benefit one party. I also hope that all the squires can work together. ”
"Obey the order!"
