The ass decides the head.

Not only did Liu Jingye come with the surname Huo, but many officials in Fucheng also had relatives when they saw who the person who came.

Although a team of people came as early as a month and a half ago, holding a token to renovate the General's Mansion, the renovation movement was not small, but at that time the general candidate was still undecided.

I heard that in recent months, the imperial court has been arguing endlessly over the selection of the general of Zhenbei, and the princes of all parties are involved, and they all want to arrange their own people to sit in that position.

Now, in recent years, he has no intention of going to politics, indulging in cultivation and alchemy, and only has a big court meeting every 20 days. Jinshang has never expressed his position, and let the people below guess to make people panic. It wasn't until the holy decree and the people came together that the fire and dust settled in a hurry, and the officials of Xiangping City were caught off guard.

In fact, there were rumors before that the Huo family took over, but the officials of the prefecture and city always substituted themselves first, thinking how could it be, the position in the north of the town is better than the great future of the capital, and smart people know how to choose.

The Huo family has always been a royalist, and when the competition between the princes of several parties is fierce, the Huo family no longer needs to be icing on the cake to earn a dragon's credit, and the century-old family that has always been low-key should not be mixed into the troubled waters.

What's more, Huo Jiajun has already had a great prestige in Liangzhou, Jingzhou and other places, how could it be possible to set foot in the north again to cause suspicion in the present.

Therefore, they believe that the son of the previous General Yan will take over, or some other candidate.

As for the Huo family, I don't know which prince deliberately released the rumor by pulling the tiger skin and pulling the banner. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for such a great event to spread among the people first.

But I didn't expect it to be the Huo family coming.

When they saw people, the officials of Xiangping City were still in a trance.

And it's not a side branch that comes, someone knows, and the person who came is Huo Laosan, the son of the Huo family, Huo Yunqian.

The officials of Fucheng looked at the people on the horse, and those who were not familiar with each other were all greeting and thinking: With such an ancestor, can he stop guarding the town? Will it be like the previous few times and the government well water does not violate the river water?

Sure enough, he showed up, and the person surnamed Huo recruited trouble, signaling the officials of the Ministry of Rites to directly announce his will.

Huo Yunqian did not enter the city with 3,000 personal soldiers, and only set up tents outside the city to let his mouth be said, not wanting to enter the city and harass the people.

The officials of Xiangping City were full of regret, and they were not good at entertaining, but they could only kneel down to accept the order first.

The content of the decree is just two sentences: the north is about to open the country to each other. Everything obeys the new Zhenbei general Huo Yunqian, the assistant director of the local government.

As for the mutual market, in fact, there has been a lot of noise in the court for three years, and every year they have been clamoring for the resumption of trade, but there is no action every year, which makes everyone tired.

Because there are some officials who are in charge of the battle, there are quite a few of them.

Another part of the officials were peaceful, believing that the Huns' attack, including the vicious battle eight years ago, was nothing more than the fact that the Huns had to risk their lives because of their serious lack of living materials.

A campaign needs to recuperate for many years, open the country to the market, our dynasty and lack of troops and horses to exchange, the last two years of natural disasters have been difficult, the people's life is already difficult, the resumption of border trade is the best policy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the new general arrived, the mutual market was also decided, and this time it was really not a shouting.

In the eyes of several high-ranking officials in Xiangping City who know the movements of the Huo family, this is also a strange place, I heard that the Huo family is obviously the main battle faction.

There are also people who react quickly, and they want to go back and sum up with their staff: Maybe it is because of the Huo family's main battle that Huo Yunqian will be decided today, and risk letting the Huo family's army have a prestige in the south, and stretch out their hands to the north.

After all, whether it is the main battle or the main peace, only the Huo family of the royalist faction will try their best to limit the output of important materials such as iron and salt. If other generals take over at the stalls of the mutual market, it is like if the iron pot flows out too much, and if it is smelted into weapons, it is afraid that it will be a danger for foreign enemies to raise tigers.

Does this also mean that the Huo family is openly degraded and secretly promoted, and Huo Yunqian's rank as the general of Zhenbei has decreased, but in fact, he has won the sacred heart.

Individual officials pondered: Which prince does the Huo family like? They follow behind and never get on the wrong side.

The prefect looked at Huo Yunqian's eyelids and moved, but he thought that thanks to listening to the words of the capital, he had already broken his tail ten days ago.

At this time, Liu Laozhu didn't know that Wang Lizheng was dead, and the last person who saw him was actually a full table.

And above, regardless of whether the officials really welcome or fake the new general Zhenbei, the people in the city are really happy when they hear the surname.

This time, there was no need for the government service organizations to flock to the outside of the city to welcome the Huo family army into the city.

If you don't say it's a big city, there are many people who have enough to eat, and when you are full, you have the heart to listen to the story of Mr. Storyteller telling the story of several heads of the Huo family who spilled their blood on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he is also more concerned about politics.

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: If this is in Erdaohe Village, no matter who comes, if she dares to let them put down their work in the field to greet them, she will secretly curse in her heart: I can't eat enough, is it sick to go out to offer flowers? Even the radish and tassel flowers at home must be kept useful, how can they have the leisure to pull those ligeren.

It's a shame that she heard a few words about Huo Jiajun from Zhao Dashan, otherwise she wouldn't have much confidence in the new official.

Mrs. Xu was about to leave the stove room, thinking about sending the third child to take her granddaughter out to see the excitement, in case the shit luck could be broadcast live to the face of the ancient general, the click rate must not swish, but I didn't expect Liu Laozhu to find it.

Liu Laozhu squatted by the stove pit with tears in his eyes: "The real surname is Huo, why is Dashan's letter so accurate, I heard that it is really going to be a mutual market." ”

Mrs. Xu: "...... So why are you crying? ”

Ah, I see, I feel that the boot has finally fallen.

The one sent is not a good general, and the matter of the eldest son of the Liu family who is faking military service may not be exposed. After all, they are not good people, who cares if they are in the same stream?

But all this was in vain, and he offended Wang Lizheng and couldn't turn back.

If a good general comes, from leading the villagers to fish and make trouble to now being tired and freezing and urinating frequently, everything that Lao Zhu is busy seems to have become meaningful, but the matter of the eldest son of the Liu family will be exposed. When the dust finally settles, it is inevitable that I will have mixed feelings.

"Don't cry, this can be regarded as completely down-to-earth, you will lead everyone to make money without moving forward. I guess if we don't wait for us to get to the village, the people in the village will be able to hear about the mutual market, and the herald soldiers are not faster than us? Our village is a must-pass place, and when you look at that house again, you will definitely understand your painstaking efforts. When the time comes, it is no worse to greet you than to welcome the general outside. If it's bad, I'll have them beat the drum to make it up for you. ”

Liu Laozhu wiped his face vigorously and thought, what the eldest sister said is the most right, you can't fool around anymore, there is only one way to be good to the villagers at the moment, to get a village official for yourself, and to strive for leniency in the future.

Since the stone in your heart has landed, let's be optimistic.

After Liu Laozhu figured it out, he laughed more ugly than he cried, and when he stood up, he paid Mrs. Xu.

He took out a large string of copper plates, remembered that he had to give people change when he went back to the village to do business, and then tied this string of copper plates back to his waist, put his hand into his belly and took it out, and exchanged it for less than a tael of broken silver and handed it over:

"Sister, please pick up some fine grains and noodles for everyone to prepare more for the journey, I mean you pick some good preparations. Don't pay out of your own pocket to prepare rations for your family of three like before, what is that for? I should have paid for the meal. Tian Xin is rare, you can buy it with confidence, she is rare to eat, others can also be rare, just let the boys also satisfy their hunger. Look at the arrangement. ”

Liu Laozhu continued: "When I came, I picked and searched, and I didn't know how much it would cost to buy goods, and I wanted to save a little is a little. Now that the stock has been bought, and there is still money left, then let's eat something good, and it is best to bring some meat and some oil. These boys don't even have any money for running errands with your old three. I can't go out with me on the first trip, and when I look back, I think it's all potato flavor, and who will dare to go out with me next time. ”
