Xiong Wuliang seemed to be unaware of the faint confrontation in the air, and said with a smile: "The combat strength of the new army has been achieved, but it cannot be left without an owner - today, I want to choose a main general for the new army in Quyang!" ”

Zhong Hua and Shaohu are all in good spirits!

Here it comes!

Xiong Wuliang stretched out his hand and pointed: "General Shaohu, this Hou wants you to be the chief general of the 'Quyang New Army', are you willing to take on this important responsibility?" ”

Peony Tiger was stunned, and then overjoyed!

To be honest, although he has been holding his breath and wanting to compete with Zhong Hua, he also knows in his heart that most of the positions of the main general belong to Zhong Hua.

Zhong Hua: Who is that? This old thing has followed the old monarch Xiong Wei to fight all his life, and he has done the Savior three or four times alone-he is Xiong Wuliang's hardcore cronies who can trust his life.

And what about yourself?

Although all his achievements are no worse than Zhong Hua, after all, he came late, and he has only been defecting to Xiong Wuliang for more than two years.

To be honest, even if Shaohu is Xiong Wuliang, he will not let himself be the commander of the 'Quyang New Army'.

Now it is beyond Shaohu's imagination! Xiong Wuliang actually appointed himself as the chief general!

The man like the eight-foot high-speed iron tower of the peony tiger couldn't help but be moved, and he bowed down suddenly, like a wall with chest hair collapsing: "The lord is so trusted, the last general will repay him with his life!" ”

Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly and encouraged: "General Shaohu, keep working hard!" ”

"I see all the credit for you!"

Shaohu was grateful, and Zhong Hua on the side seemed to be angry......

Xiong Wuliang turned his head to look at Zhong Hua again, and said with a smile: "General Zhong, do you remember the eight hundred personal soldiers of the old prince?" ”

Zhong Hua was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to have a feeling: "How can the old ministers forget each other......"

"At that time, the old minister led 800 Quyang personal soldiers, protected the old prince, and fought dozens of battles large and small...... Most of the eight hundred siblings of the past have passed away, and the old prince is also ......"

After Zhong Hua was sad for a moment, he seemed relieved: "Now the little lord is a marquis, and the fief has expanded to three counties, and the population under his rule has grown from more than 10,000 to more than 200,000 today...... At present, there are enough 10,000 people in the 'Quyang New Army', and they will no longer be miserable in the past! ”

"If the old prince has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely applaud and cheer!" Zhong Hua revealed his true feelings.

Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Since General Zhong remembers the eight hundred soldiers back then, is he still willing to follow the story of his father?" ”

In Zhong Hua's somewhat surprised gaze, Xiong Wuliang smiled and said: "General Zhong, please be the commander of Benhou's pro-army battalion, rule 800 pro-soldiers, and serve Benhou around!" ”

"Would you like to?"

Zhong Hua choked up!

Thinking of Xiong Wei's 800 parts, he was even more moved: "The lord trusts the old minister so much, and the old minister will repay him with all his might!" ”

looked at Shaohu again, and there was no anger in his eyes, and he was even a little proud.

You see! In the end, the person the Lord trusts the most is still me!

Don't look at the many soldiers you have under Shaohu, but only I, Zhong Hua, can follow Xiong Wuliang at any time!

Xiong Wuliang arranged the second general, and seeing that the two of them had no opinions now, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and secretly applauded his wit - Xiong Wuliang, worthy of you!

……

It may be that there are a lot of deaths this year, and this year's winter is particularly cold.

In the great war between the Qin-Chu Alliance and the Qi, Wei and Han Kingdoms, the total casualties on both sides were as high as more than 200,000.

But at this moment, the fiefdom is a peaceful and peaceful scene.

Although it was a cold winter, the people under Xiong Wuliang's rule had enough thick clothes and solid houses made of cement.

Qu Laohan, who lived in a farm on the outskirts of Quyang City, was wrapped in thick clothes, and together with a few friends in the farm, he went to Quyang City to buy New Year's goods.

Stepping on the solid cement pavement, Qu Laohan showed a comfortable smile.

In the winter of previous years, the roads in the countryside were full of potholes, and it was torture to travel long distances against the wind in the cold winter months.

But this year, the road is very easy!

As soon as the group entered the city, Qu Laohan said goodbye to everyone, and in the envious eyes of the rest of the people, he went straight to the door of 'Quyang Academy'. After some rounding, Qu Laohan was led into a warm side room by the gatehouse.

After a short while, a teenage young man rushed in with surprise on his face, and when he saw Qu Laohan, he couldn't help but have red eyes and threw himself to the ground: "Dad! ”

Old Man Qu stood up a little awkwardly, helped the young man up, looked at it for a moment, and then let out a long sigh of relief—this kid had a ruddy face, and he was even fatter than when he was at home...... It seems that the life in the academy is indeed a fairy life of being well fed and clothed.

Qu Yang straightened his chest and reported to Qu Laohan with some pride: "In the past month, I have learned more than forty words, ranking first among everyone!" ”

"Mr. Huang praised me very much – he said that I was very smart. He also said that after I finished one year of study, I could choose to stay in the academy and continue to learn from him. ”

"Oh, by the way—Master Huang isn't very old, only two years older than me...... You may not believe it – many of the students are older than Mr. Huang! But we all have a lot of respect for him, he's really knowledgeable! ”

“……”

Qu Laohan listened to his son's words, but he didn't fully understand them, but one thing was for sure - Qu Yang, a kid, was living well in the academy.

And what kind of 'Huang Fuzi' is still very optimistic about Qu Yang's kid.

Qu Laohan was very pleased.

"Dad brought two pieces of dried meat from home, you find a time to send them to your Huang Fuzi......" Qu Laohan trembled and took out two blackened pieces of smoked meat from his sleeve, handed them to Qu Yang, and told with a straight face: "You can't eat secretly!" ”

Qu Yang hurriedly refused: "Dad, you can take it back and eat it yourself." ”

"Master Huang said, we don't want to do this in Quyang Academy."

Qu Laohan's face stiffened, and he was about to fight: "Bastard boy, don't talk nonsense - this is the rule of respecting teachers, do you understand?" ”

"If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful that I beat you!"

Qu Yang hurriedly shut up and honestly took the two pieces of dried meat.

After another greeting, Qu Laohan left the academy and went straight to the market—although it was winter, the market was very lively.

Compared with most of the peasants who were struggling with hunger and death in this era, the peasants in Xiong Wuliang's fiefdom were more affluent.

First of all, under Xiong Wuliang's agricultural technology reform, the yield per mu of the fiefdom was very high, and Xiong Wuliang has always maintained the 'tithe' agricultural tax rate, so that every household has a large amount of surplus grain in their hands.

Moreover, after finishing their farm work, the farmers in the fiefdom usually go to the 'industrial park' to work for a short time to earn some extra income to supplement their families.

If he has a bright mind, he can also set up a stall on the side of the road, provide some tea or food to merchants who come from afar, and earn some small money.

The Hou government also encourages these small livelihoods – as long as they pay taxes as required, they will be protected. Some merchants from other places do not know the rules to find trouble, or flirt with the women who run small stalls...... Grab them all and dig up the sand!
