Along the way, the vultures didn't make a sound. Just walking silently, calm and too abnormal. Perhaps, this is the warrior after the battle array, accustomed to life and death. The rest doesn't need to be too much of a concern.

Fortunately, after becoming the heir of the earl. Tuhe was able to keep the jade pendant given by Xiao Yi, the king of Liang, because it was stamped with the seal of the king of Liang. The soldiers of the Star City Mansion who came didn't dare to do anything.

Tu He didn't expect the palace to come back so soon, and there were no more people left at this time. Most of the guests who came had already scattered back home, and there were just the people from Xiao Yi and the Xishu Army left.

Due to the importance of this alliance with the Western Army, Xiao Yi made special arrangements to let the people of the Western Army live in his Liang Palace. You must know that the Liang Wangfu was built according to the standards of the imperial palace back then.

The magnificence is very satisfying to Wei Zhen, who has been in the army for a long time. I've drunk a lot of alcohol today, and I'm in a coma. The efficiency of the officials in Star City was not high, so Lu Ming had no choice but to arrange for Tu He Jin and the Tyrant to live in the palace first.

For this palatial palace, the vultures are naturally full of light. When I learned that I was staying here tonight, I immediately smirked. It was as if Wei had rewarded him for coming to live in the palace.

Tu He was not in a hurry when he saw things, so he simply chatted with Tyrant about the human geography of the northwest.

Eh, our generals say. The south is full of jewels and gold, and there are countless beautiful women with thin waists and white skin in every city. However, because we are soldiers of the imperial court, we can't attack.

Hearing this, Tuhe couldn't help but smile. There is gold everywhere, and this can be, even Donghai City can't do this. Looking at the honest appearance of the tyrant, Tuhe couldn't help but ask, is it true that the soldiers in the northwest are like this?

How much do your generals pay you each year? Tu He is more concerned about this, and the situation in the army is what he is good at.

For military salaries, I will receive five gold coins a year. There was no pay for ordinary infantry, one gold coin for pikemen, two for archers, and three for ordinary cavalrymen. I'm a team leader, so there are five.

On the way here, Tu Hejin already knew that this stupid big man also had at least thirteen levels of Dou Qi cultivation, although the cultivation method was not like his own Absurd Ming Technique and Hua Ming's Great Yang Zhaotian Technique, but with his physique and some unknown bloodline in his body.

fought with Huaming, and the victory or defeat of the two is especially known. In Penal Prefecture, this kind of cultivation has already met the conditions of a general. Although it is not necessary to be promoted to general, it is almost absolutely impossible to achieve a team rate and a military salary of five gold coins.

And what is the pension for your brothers who died in battle? What about the first bounty? Hearing this ridiculously low military salary, Tu Hejin already had a guess in his heart, but he still planned to ask.

Pensions, ranging from fifty to one hundred, I may be able to get a hundred when I die, you know, fifty gold coins in our brothers' families is enough for a family to live for ten years.

Therefore, we are not afraid of death when we fight, and General Wei Zhen has never defaulted on our military salaries and pensions. And we all have the fields given by the imperial court at home.

Although, in Zixin County, on the boundaries of many penal states. The same is true of these government soldiers who have been nailed to the land, taking their pitiful salaries and doing their life's work. However, among the soldiers in Star City, there are many who want to eat and take cards, and even the cavalry privately accept the employment of merchants to compete for extra money.

Zixin County, and many county government soldiers are also mostly home-oriented. In the entire criminal state, as far as the eye can see, there are only three places, Yang County, Lu County, and Nan County, because they often fight with the Yan army, and sometimes even fight with the Xishu army. So there are still a lot of hard bones.

Among them, the 50,000 soldiers of Yang County trained by Huading Mountain are the most elite existence in the Xingzhou army. And, over the years, because Yangjun often fought against the Yan army, he often reduced Yangjun's taxes, and often allocated gold coins to Yangjun.

It is not uncommon for government soldiers to be oppressed, but like Wei Zhen, he bullied the soldiers, and he was able to let these subordinates serve him to death. That's really something to keep an eye on. In other words, the northwest land, the Red River Plain, should be worth paying attention to.

In the geographical chronicles of Emperor Wu's Nine Classics, it is said that the folk customs of this place are simple and heavy, but it is also said that the human nature here is fierce. There are often mutual vendettas and fights in the countryside neighborhood, and human nature is warlike and not easy to manage.

Therefore, when Emperor Wu quelled the Meizu rebellion, although he regarded Xingming City as a line for a long time, he also built a palace in the north of Xingming City. However, after all, it was not made the capital.

Later, the martial arts division divined and measured the meaning of the gods, and Zhongzhou Ruocheng could be the capital. Just as Emperor Wu was building a palace in the city, there was a natural disaster, and the river flooded and washed away the palace. Emperor Wu had no choice but to take Yecheng as his capital.

And Wei Shan also came to prominence at this time because of the suppression of the Meizu rebellion and went to Xingming City to take charge.

As soon as he thought of this, Tu Hejin immediately began to inquire about the folk customs and ethnic gatherings of the Chiping Plains centered on Xingming City. Many of them, as stated in the Nine Classics of Emperor Wu, although the Chiping Plains are still dominated by the Xia people.

However, the various ethnic groups outside the Saiwai conquered by Emperor Wu also forced them to move inward, and many races changed their nomadic habits. began to learn farming, of course, these races conquered by Emperor Wu were actually engaged in farming and building cities.

Emperor Wu, a nomadic Ximei clan, tried his best and spent huge military and financial resources, but he was still unable to defeat them in the end, and finally had to sign a contract. Mutual commerce to the end.

And now the people around Xingming City on the Red Plains are actually at least thirty percent of the people who used to gallop on horseback back in the past. The vultures and kites are actually one of them.

It seems that the vultures have never been respected by others, facing the river in the face of the river, serving tea, serving snacks and so on. It is extremely useful, so he knows everything he knows about the situation in the northwest, and he has no end to it.

And Tu Hejin naturally continued to know everything about this northwest land now, and the night passed in a hurry in the cheerful conversation between the two.

After this night, Tuhe Jin not only learned a lot of details about the Northwest Lands, but also learned another skill that overcame some of his previous shortcomings.

He learned to listen, and he slowly smoothed out the impatience in his heart. learned to face up to the untouchables he would have despised. The tyrannical vultures have never seen the world, and the words they say naturally have a rustic smell.

But now he already knows how to discern and digest this useless information. Few of the nobles were disdainful of this. But the battle of Fort Blue Mountain made Tuhe understand.

The military situation is like fire, and life and death are urgent. Military intelligence is so important that it can often determine the outcome of a war. For the sake of victory in the war, don't talk to a hillbilly, even if it's kneeling or something. Today's Tu He Jin doesn't care.
