After thinking about it for a long time, Cai Yong agreed.

A few days later, Liu Xiu went north to Zhuo County to return to his hometown.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.

When you become a Jiujiang Taishou, it's time to go home, and it's time to pretend to be forced in front of the villagers. Suddenly, Liu Xiu somewhat understood why Xiang Yu wanted to set the capital Pengcheng.

Half a month later, Liu Xiu returned home, knelt down and said, "Meet my mother!" ”

"My son is back!" The mother said: "My son is too guarded, and he has a chance, so he should go and worship his ancestors!" ”

The words were full of joy.

Liu Xiu looked into the house, and there were straw sandals and straw mats. After becoming wealthy in business, Liu Xiu often sent money to her mother, but her mother was still diligent and thrifty.

"Mother, the family is too shabby, you are too hard!" Liu Xiu frowned and said: "My son has become a taishou, and he has two thousand stones, and his mother should be happy!" ”

"A porridge and a meal, when thinking about it is not easy to come by; A wisp of perseverance, the difficulty of material resources. The mother said, "The world is turbulent, hungry and hungry, and there are many poor and unclothed people, how can I be extravagant, it is better to save money to help the poor!" ”

"The child has been taught!" Liu Xiu bowed and said.

At home, enjoy the joy of family.

In his spare time, Liu Xiu visited various famous artists in Zhuo County, as well as former classmates. When he saw Gongsun Chan again, he was heroic, no longer the naivety of the past, and became a generation of famous generals. In the battle between Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the Yellow Turban Army, the civil war continued; Gongsun Zhan fought with Xianbei and got sick in front of Wei Qing and Huo Qu.

"Long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

Then the two men drank to their heart's content, talking about the past.

"Chaos is coming, Beyoke!" Liu Xiu admonished.

"I know!" Gongsun Chan said.

"I will go to Jiujiang to guard the Taishou, and the mountains are in turmoil, so I borrow troops from Bogui!" Liu Xiu said.

"That's easy to say!" Gongsun Chan said: "When you get to the barracks, you can pick it yourself!" ”

Gongsun Chan is really a good brother.

The next day, when they arrived at the barracks, they selected a thousand elite cavalry, among which was one named Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, a native of Changshan Zhending, is extremely inconspicuous in the Youzhou Army, or in the Youzhou Army, there are too many generals who can fight, and Zhao Yun is mixed in it, extremely inconspicuous.

Five days later, Liu Xiu and her mother went south.

On the way, I met Guan Yu. Guan Yu took refuge here, but the Taoyuan Three Knots did not exist; There are drama Zhicai, Xun Yu and others to vote.

Relying on the name of Jiujiang Taishou, along the way, he has recruited many heroes, as well as poor scholars, talents, and waste wood.

When I arrived in Luoyang, I picked up Cai Yong's family and went to Jiujiang. Along the way, the wilderness ruins, the displacement of people, and the starvation everywhere, the bustling Luoyang and the miserable Central Plains are in stark contrast. The Yellow Turban Army has been pacified, but the world is even more chaotic.

All the way south, recruiting displaced people, Jiujiang is vast and sparsely populated, just to cultivate.

Cai Yong said: "It's time for Xuande to get married!" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Xiu nodded.

Choose an auspicious day and the wedding begins, lasting from morning to evening.

The wedding dress is not the red color of the later generations, but the dark clothes. The red in the black is "Xuan", and the color of the sky is Xuan, which is the supreme color. When he greeted him, he wore a son-in-law and a woman in pure clothes.

The car that greets relatives surpasses the level of Taishou. According to the Han system, when the scholars greet each other, the car and public service system can be passed to the next level, which is not rude, and under Xun Yu's arrangement, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

The people along the road heard the news and greeted each other, and the flow of people was bustling.

The courtyard of Caifu was swept clean, and the lanterns were hung high. Liu Xiu welcomed the bride into the car. Accept the congratulations of the people all the way.

The bride of the Han Dynasty did not have the custom of wearing a red hijab, nor did she have the custom of sitting in a sedan chair, Cai Yan and Liu Xiushou shared a car, and the car had no carriage, only a Xuanse cover. The two newcomers sat on the car, Liu Xiu's face was like a crown of jade, the jade tree was in the wind, the appearance was dignified, handsome and extraordinary, and Cai Yan was even more beautiful, graceful, noble and fragrant, and captivating the country and the city.

In the Han Dynasty, there were seven ceremonies: the chapel, the wo bowl, the opposite seat, the same prison, the closing of the house, the knot of hair, and the holding of hands. With the blessing of the full house, Liu Xiu and Cai Yong completed every step of the wedding step by step.

The first is the chapel. The bride and groom worship heaven and earth, the second worship the high hall, and the husband and wife worship each other.

After that, there was the Wo Xu, and the boy and girl brought two basins of water to the newlyweds to wash their hands and faces, and wash themselves. Men and women sit on the table, the next person offers wine and food, three vegetables and one meat, and the newcomer eats a plate of meat dishes, which means that the meat of a livestock is eaten together, and it is for the same prison, and then the cup is drunk, which is called a combination.

The last part of the ritual is that the bride and groom each cut off their hair and wrap it in one place, which is probably the reason for the couple.

Finally, to the cheers of the guests, the two entered the cave room hand in hand, and the wedding was completed.

The wedding feast was opened, and the guests came with joy and drank darkly. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei drank so much that Zhao Yun only drank a few glasses.

It was already dark, and Liu Xiu stepped into the cave room.

The red candle flickered, Cai Yan dressed up in gorgeous clothes, and sat quietly on the couch waiting.

Liu Xiu stepped into the cave room, slightly dizzy.

"Wine hurts the body more, so the husband drinks less." Cai Yan said.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, grabbed her slender waist, and said, "What Mrs. taught me is that in the future, only Mrs. will obey." ”

Cai Yan said: "The husband laughed. ”

Liu Xiuhuai hugged the beauty and laughed: "The beautiful scenery of the good night, how can it be wasted?" Madame, how about we sleep together? ”

Cai Yan didn't avoid it anymore, indulged in it, and nodded shyly.

Liu Xiu hugged her in his arms and walked to the tent.

The candlelight flickered, and the soul was destroyed.

When she woke up the next day, Liu Xiu hugged her wife, thinking back to last night, full of happiness.

…………

When he became the Taishou of Jiujiang, Liu Xiu did not pretend to be forced or tossed blindly, but built a high wall, accumulated grain, and did not claim to be the king. Shuimu College was opened, and Cai Yong was the mountain chief; Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led a battalion of soldiers and horses; It is also to extract the elite and build the Jiujiang camp, Liu Xiu personally led it, and Zhao Yun was supplemented.

It is also to let Xun Yu be the gong Cao, responsible for Tuntian, personnel; It is also Xi Zhicai who is a military advisor and is responsible for military training.

Jiujiang County is located in the south, which is a backward place, with few families and few main forces.

Liu Xiu knows that in this era, the biggest enemy is not Cao Cao, not Sun Quan, not the Yellow Turban Army, but a wealthy family.

Cao Cao suppressed the family, which led to continuous rebellions, and it was extremely difficult to fight the world, but the foundation was also solid; Yuan Shao relied on the family to come to power, but the family continued to fall, it was difficult to reconcile, and it was going to perish; Sun Quan made the families from the north and the local families constantly infighting, maintaining the balance and consolidating the world, but the expansion was insufficient.

Later, in order to become the emperor, Cao Pi compromised with the family and set up the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

For the family, you can only simmer slowly, boil the frog in warm water, and you can't be impatient...... In the absence of a new class, before fighting against the family, it can only rely on the family, and at the same time suppress the family.

…………

In the winter of the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, there was a strong Zhang Tao who made a rebellion, Liu Taishou pacified, killed 300 people, and Jiujiang shook.

Subsequently, the people of Runan entered Jiujiang, and Liu Taishou resettled the displaced people, cleared the land, sorted out taxes, encouraged agriculture, and Jiujiang was safe.

In the third year of Zhongping, the water thief Zhao Ping came to Jiujiang and plundered the county, but was resisted by Guan Yu and others. Killed more than a dozen thieves, took advantage of the situation to lead troops to attack, the water thieves were defeated, more than 10,000 were killed, and the rest of the people surrendered. Liu Taishou's troops increased dramatically in an instant

In the autumn of the third year of Zhongping, the mountains were in turmoil, and 100,000 people went out to plunder. Liu Xiu brought 30,000 elites such as Xi Zhicai and Guan Yu to help, broke the mountain and surrendered more than 100,000 barbarians.

Time is passing, and in a blink of an eye, it is five years of Zhongping.

Five years, five years of farming, Liu Xiu has continuously solved the dangers of Haoqiang, water thieves, and mountain barbarians, coupled with the assistance of various civil ministers, the county presents a great governance, the people in the territory live in peace, the bandits are extinct, and Liu Xiu's reputation spreads all over Xu, Yang, and Jing.
