Wei Xuan saw that everyone was in a very low mood, and suddenly remembered the chat between Wang Meng and himself in Xiangling that day, and said: "Wang Juncheng is young and enterprising, and I will ask the two brothers to pay more attention on weekdays in the future." ”

Pei Sheng looked at Wei Xuan a little unexpectedly, Jun Cheng is the deputy of the imperial court, and he is usually hidden behind others, Wei Xuan talked about Wang Meng at this time, and everyone thought of Wang Meng being ordered to go to Xiangling to investigate.

Wei Xuan's expression was calm: "Xuan led people to Huoshan to suppress bandits, Wang Juncheng sent six hundred elite soldiers to assist before and after, and after the war, he personally led people to search Huoshan for three days. ”

Wei Su and Wei Le glanced at each other and nodded, the two also understood why Wei Xuan wanted to talk about Wang Meng at this time, in fact, when the investigation results of the Xiangling case came back, some people suspected that the reason why Wang Mengzhi decided the case so was at the behest of the Wei family, but no one in Hedong helped Huang Heng, Kong Qian and others argue with reason, and Yin De is a person who likes to settle things, so he completed the iron case.

Wei Xuan's current meaning is that when necessary, the Wei family may have to give up Yin virtue and support Wang Meng. If Yin De is inactive, even if the Taiping Dao is not in trouble, it is impossible for the Wei family to sit back and watch Hedong continue to erode, and it is impossible to say that Yin De will be erected or even expelled when the time comes. Then Juncheng Wang Meng is one of the candidates to succeed.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Wei Xuan continued: "No matter what the Taishou Mansion does, our Wei family should open porridge sheds inside and outside the city from now on to reduce the hostility of the people of Anyi to our Wei family and increase the difficulty of Taiping Dao's infiltration of Anyi." ”

Wei Su looked at his fourth uncle and then at his second brother, both of them had a sad look on their faces, Wei Xuan was right, disaster relief can reduce the hostility of the people, but now in the situation in Hedong, if the Wei family is maverick, I am afraid that the victims of the entire Hedong will run to Anyi.

If the Wei family stops giving relief because they can't afford it, I'm afraid that all the victims will forget that the Wei family had helped them, and instead complain that the Wei family interrupted their relief. In addition to the disappointment from afar, they will even smash and rob and join Taiping Road nearby.

Of course, Wei Xuan knew the concerns of several elders, and glanced at the people present and said, "Those who are strong can be recruited into the mansion to work and serve as guards, and the furniture factory and the salt pond may contain a lot of people." The old and infirm can't eat much, so I guess some can be saved. In addition, I will find a way to make money, but I have to hurry up the matter of buying food. ”

Hearing Wei Xuan talk about money, Wei Zheng and Wei He stood up at the same time, Wei Zheng said: "Now that the production of refined salt has stabilized, as long as the mining and purchase of coarse salt is expanded, refined salt will become a cash cow for my Wei family, and it can absorb at least two or three hundred workers." Part of the proceeds from the salt pond should be used to buy grain to help the victims. ”

Wei He said directly: "The income of the furniture factory has dropped recently, and the caravan needs to expand externally, and it also needs manpower." ”

After speaking, he looked at Wei Xuan with a blank eye, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and he clearly said again, second brother, the project you promised is more profitable than refined salt, and now it's time to take it out, not only can you make money, but also resettle the victims.

Wei Xuan ignored him and said to Wei Zheng: "Fourth brother, there is still a part of the refined salt left for the slaves to exchange for some war horses, so you can purchase coarse salt in large quantities to expand production." ”

"In a hurry?"

"At least half of the members of the White Tiger Hall of the Wei family in Hedong must be equipped with good horses, and the escort team must reach at least one hundred war horses. The number of the entire escort team must be increased by at least five hundred, otherwise our Wei family will not be able to deal with even one Yang Feng, let alone the Taiping Dao in the entire Hedong. ”

Everyone gasped again, first, Wei Xuan asked for two or three hundred horses when he opened his mouth, including a hundred war horses, and Yang Feng's strength reminded everyone that Taiping Dao had become a climate in Hedong, but the Taishou Mansion was unreliable, so he could only rely on the Wei family himself.

Wei Su and Wei Cheng glanced at each other, and they both showed a deep sense of powerlessness, can the Wei family stand up to the upcoming troubled times? These old guys don't have a good way, but a few little guys have ideas and methods!

Next, everyone discussed the functional transformation of the White Tiger Hall and some specific details of disaster relief. The details of the expansion of the furniture factory and Yanchi have also been decided, and if the financial resources can keep up, these two places of the Wei family can absorb at least 500 strong laborers, and these strong laborers can still be transformed into combat power when encountering such a major event as the Taiping Road Incident. As for disaster relief, everyone couldn't resist Wei Xuan, and decided to temporarily open a porridge shed in Anyi Cheng and Weijia Manor outside the city, and the scale gradually expanded.

In the end, the Wei family finally reached a consensus at the core level, that is, before the threat of Taiping Dao to the Wei family was resolved, they would concentrate on improving their own protection force in the short term, and at the same time, in order to win the hearts of the people, they decided to purchase food from other counties to make reserves, and at the same time, they would start to open a porridge shed inside and outside the city tomorrow.

As for the rectification of the north of the county, we can only look at the attitude of the Taishou, and then take one step at a time.

Just when everyone thought that the meeting was over, Wei Su suddenly said: "Zhong Dao met a chivalrous man in Yang County, and he is very skilled, and Zhong Dao has been recommended as the post assistant of the Taishou Mansion. Zhong Dao thinks that the world is not peaceful now, and my Wei family should spend efforts to win over this person, and you should see if there is a woman of appropriate age in the clan to marry this person as a wife, so that this person will be loyal to my Wei family. ”

As soon as Wei Su said this, everyone was very surprised, and Wei Xuan, who was surprised by others, actually wanted the daughter of the Wei family to marry a light man, even if it was a hero like Tong Yuan, the Wei family did not necessarily consider it. Wei Xuan was surprised that his father brought such a small matter to the family meeting. Could it be that the boss's mentality has changed and he is ready to change the general direction of his family, is this to give everyone a signal?

Looking at the gazes cast by everyone, Wei Xuan smiled awkwardly and said: "My lord, Xu Huang is not an ordinary light man, he is a rare hero in my Hedong, his bravery may not be as good as Tong Shi, but his lethality on the battlefield will definitely not lose to Tong Shi." What is commendable is that this person is young and knows the soldiers, the last time he entered Huoshan to suppress the bandits, he was the vanguard, led the caravan to be surrounded by three times the bandits, he immediately put the grain cart as a peripheral circle formation, and led more than 40 light warrior guards The county soldiers and archers did not let more than 400 bandits break through, and waited until Xuan arrived with reinforcements to judge the situation on the battlefield for the first time, and led the troops to break through the bandits and directly defeat the bandits. If this person can grow up, his command ability should be no less than that of today's emperors Fu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei! ”

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise again, Wei Tong and Wei Zheng were especially so, Wei Tong was surprised by Xu Huang's battlefield lethality, he knew that heads-up and melee were different, and Master Tong Yuan belonged to the kind with strong heads-up ability. Looking at the second brother's evaluation, Xu Huang will not be assigned to Tong Yuan purely from the point of force.

Wei Zheng was surprised by Wei Xuan's evaluation of Xu Huang's commanding ability, among the people present, Wei Xuan was the only one who knew the soldier among all the people, and he actually compared Xu Huang to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, these two were famous all over the world before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and the successful suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising made the two of them one of the best generals in today's Han Dynasty!

If Xu Huang can suppress Huangfu Song and compete with Tong Yuan, of course he is worthy of being a family girl! In particular, Wei Xuanxin swore that it was too dull to sweep Hedong, only in the blink of an eye. Of course, you can't let the family get up and beg for others when they reach the high degree of fame of Huangfu Song, now is a good opportunity, and marrying a girl is the best way to win over, and ordinary wealthy scholars can't refuse to be a family daughter, let alone a martial artist.

Wei Ning glanced at his father and asked Wei Xuan, "Zhongdao, you haven't been in contact with that person for a long time, how did you make such a judgment?" If Xu Huang is just bent in front of you, but the queen is vulgar, wouldn't he have wronged me as a daughter? ”

Wei Xuanxin said that one of Boss Cao's five good generals, how many enemies he killed with a plate axe were frightened, and now he is naturally better than Emperor Fu Song and others, but give him ten years, you look at his height, thought about it and said: "If Xu Huang can bend his will, he should at least be a county lieutenant now." At the age of sixteen, he was appreciated by the county magistrate as a pavilion chief, and he didn't move for seven years! Needless to say, this person's bravery has been seen with his own eyes on the battlefield, and how many light men under my command have lost in the competition on weekdays.

Xuan once went to the Huangsha Pavilion where he served, it can be said that it was the cleanest pavilion Xuan had ever seen, although he didn't go often, the people below were orderly, and the Huangsha Pavilion was also famous in Yang County, which was enough to show his imperial ability. Although the battle of Huoshan was not shocking, Xu Huang's role in it should not be underestimated, and it was precisely because of him that I dared to lead people to make plans.

Xuan Zi thinks that he has been studying with Master Zheng for four years, and he can be regarded as reading countless people, and this person will definitely be able to become a great weapon! ”

"How old is he?" Wei Ning's voice was a little hurried.

"Twenty-three, seven years ago, when he was sixteen years old, he was appreciated by the county magistrate at the time and became the head of the Huangsha Pavilion, but the Xu family is just an ordinary family, and he is famous for his martial arts, so he was obsessed with this way and was not promoted."

Wei Su saw that Wei Le's father and son were both interested in Xu Huang, and couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans?" ”

Wei Le smiled: "Zhongdao's idea is actually good, if it weren't for Tong Daxia, what would my Wei family look like now?" If it weren't for him, Wang Yue might have come to the door for the second time at this moment. If this person really has the talent of General Huangfu, isn't he worthy of my Wei family's daughter?

It just so happens that Zi'er has admired Daxia since she was a child, and now that she is older, she talks all day long that she will marry a man like Brother Tong. If Xu Huang can get through, I don't think she will object. ”

Wei Zheng only remembered that he had a younger sister at home, no wonder his father and brother were very curious about Xu Huang. My sister's temperament really likes chivalry, but after all, Xu Huang is a martial artist, Wei Xuan said that this person will definitely be able to become a great weapon, who can say what will happen in a few years or more than ten years? What's more, there are many ways for the Wei family to win over martial artists, recruiting guests and recommending them as officials. So he is the most negative of the three father and son, but his father and brother have ideas, and his sister also happens to like it, so he can't object.
