After Liu Yan went to Xiahezhai Qianqianhuhu, the Baihu Office of Wangjiazhuang was headed by Zhang Yi, the official of the Baihu Household, and the appointment document of Zhang Yi as the official of Wangjiazhuang will soon come down, and the documents for the promotion of others will also be sent down.

Zhang Yi's management ability Liu Yan is still assured, after more than a year, Zhang Yi has also become Liu Yan's descendant, and his loyalty to Liu Yan is unquestionable.

Zhang Yi was originally just a small dun army, but in more than a year, he was promoted rapidly and became the head of a fort, all thanks to Liu Yan's promotion, so after Zhang Yi finished the meeting, he took advantage of the night to return to the Baihu official hall, and said to Liu Yan with a fist: "Xiaguan has come to thank the defense lord." Rest assured, with the lower officials, Wangjiazhuang will only get better and better. ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "I believe in your ability, Wangjiazhuang is our foundation, and the burden on you will be very heavy in the future." ”

Liu Yan knew in his heart that although he was about to be transferred to the Qianhu Institute in Xiahe Village, he could control more resources and territory, but the old base area could not be given up, although the Qianhu City was large, but there were more corresponding gentry and interest groups, and if he wanted to do anything, there would be many obstacles.

Only Wangjiazhuang is a place that Liu Yan himself operated. In the future, it is necessary to deepen management, tuntian, military training, military production, and even business, education, medical care, etc., which can be used as a training base.

Liu Yan beckoned Zhang Yi to sit down and continued: "For the time being, I will temporarily let Zhang Lei, the official in charge of the tun, Zhao Min, the chief copywriter, and others assist you in managing the tuntian and other things inside and outside the fort. ”

In addition, Liu Yan was also ready to wait until he stabilized the Qianhu Office in Xiahe Village, so he would slightly restructure the several sentinels and horses under his command and change them to four levels: team, flag, whistle, and general.

However, even if Liu Yan is promoted now, he is only a defensive officer, and according to the establishment of the imperial court, he can only have a total number of 1,000 troops in his hands.

Fortunately, according to Liu Yan's understanding, the population of the military households in the first thousand households of Xiahezhai is still sufficient, and after hoarding enough money, food and materials, Liu Yan will consider training 3,000 to 4,000 auxiliary soldiers next year, and they will be busy farming and practicing in their spare time. Or, if conditions permit, directly expand the army, which will have to wait until the future depends on the situation.

Zhang Yi clenched his fists and said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely have a good relationship with you, and take care of all parts of Wangjiazhuang together, so as to stabilize the rear for your lordship!" ”

Zhang Yi is this good person, witty and reasonable, Liu Yan just said his own arrangements, and Zhang Yi understood the meaning.

Liu Yan smiled and nodded in approval, and then asked Zhang Yi to go back and prepare some, and a few days later, he came over to take over the 100-household official hall.

A few days later, Liu Yan left Wangjiazhuang with the soldiers and horses of the cavalry sentry and went to the Qianhusuo City of Xiahezhai to take office, and the rest of the outposts will also rush to the Qianhusuo City of Xiahezhai after receiving Liu Yan's order, and the various departments will meet with Liu Yan's headquarters at a place ten miles east of the Qianhusuo City in front of Xiahezhai, and then enter the Qianhusuo City together. Zhang Yi will send some soldiers and horses to the left sentinel to garrison various places in Wangjiazhuang.

This time, Liu Yan planned to take the first step, and after he had a foothold in the city of Qianhusuo in the future, he would take Wang Yunhe over together.

In order to give the greatest deterrent to the soldiers and civilians in the city of thousands of households, Liu Yan and Xu Ming, among the more than 100 people, were all wearing iron armor, and each of them was riding a horse. It doesn't matter if it's a war horse or not, as long as you can carry people. In this way, more than 100 people wore iron armor and war horses under their hips, marching mightily on the official road, and the momentum was very terrifying.

Zhang Yi, Yue Ming, Zhang Lei, Tan Xiaoda, Xu Le, Bao Xuezhen, Zhao Min and others went out of the city to see them off, as well as the military and civilian people of Wangjiazhuang, also sent out to send Liu Yan and others to the city of Qianhu to take office, many people were in tears, reluctant, Liu Yan was in office for more than a year, for the military households to divide the land and land, so that the military households in the fort to eat enough, the soldiers and civilians are grateful to Liu Yan. They only hope that after Liu Yan goes, they will not forget the place of Wangjiazhuang.

Chu Yunfei, Qian Soap, Chen Jiangshi, Gao Yunshan and others had already returned to their respective workshops first, so they couldn't come to see them off, and Wang Yunhe had already said goodbye to Liu Yan in the Baihu Official Hall, because he wanted to raise a fetus, so he didn't come out to join in the fun.

At this time, Liu Yan looked at the sincere eyes of the soldiers and civilians around him before leaving, and the enthusiasm of the farewell, Liu Yan was also emotional, and repeatedly said goodbye to the surrounding soldiers and civilians, people have feelings, in Wangjiazhuang for more than a year, he has experienced countless life and death disasters, looking at the changes here day by day, and suddenly leaving, Liu Yan is also reluctant to leave, but unlike when he left Dapanbao, Wangjiazhuang is a place, he will often come back.

The sound of cheers finally went away, passing through Wangjiazhuang and other fire road piers and tunbao along the way, Liu Yan and his party went to the city of thousands of households in front of Xiahe Village, and the iron hooves knocked on the loess road, a piece of smoke and dust.

Along the way, he passed through a number of military forts, all of which were deserted, and after those forts were abandoned, he didn't know when he would recover, and Liu Yan's mood couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Looking around, the surrounding soldiers do not have Liu Yan's complicated feelings, they can go to the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village to guard, the soldiers of the cavalry post are all elated, the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahezhai is much more prosperous than Wangjiazhuang, and they can go to Qianhu City with adults, everyone has a light on their faces, full of excitement.

Soon, Liu Yan led his troops and the outpost led by Chen Xun, the outpost led by Wang Yue, the right outpost led by Wang Bo, the guard post led by Miao Shao, and the middle outpost led by Shen Tuo converged one after another, and there were more than 1,100 soldiers in the six sentinels.

Liu Yan's various systems in Wangjiazhuang, especially the division of land and land, high military salaries and high salaries, etc., controlled the hard work of these soldiers in his own hands. According to the situation of the Ming Dynasty, only if Liu Yan is here, these soldiers can keep their family's fields under Liu Yan's protection and enjoy a low-tax welfare system. They are not harassed by the harassment of excessive taxes imposed by the government and the government.

These soldiers' families divided the fields, and in the future, two buckets of grain per mu were levied, although the tax was heavy compared to the early and middle Ming Dynasty, but in the late Ming Dynasty, where various miscellaneous taxes could exceed the regular tax, this simple tax grain. The burden is already very light, and after the military families pay the tun grain, the remaining grain is enough for the whole family to eat and live a stable life.

This series of operations has made Liu Yan's prestige in Wangjiazhuang higher and higher, and it can be said that even if the officers have other intentions, it is impossible for the soldiers below to follow them, and a close interest group has been formed beside Liu Yan.

The army marched towards the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village, Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Shen Tuo surrounded Liu Yan, and everyone was talking and laughing.

Because they have to be stationed in various places, everyone has not been together for a long time, and now they can get together again when they enter the city of Qianhu before entering Xiahe Village, which makes everyone very happy.

Liu Yan looked at everyone with a smile, and saw that only Chen Xun had married among the people, and the rest were still singles, and this problem also bothered Liu Yan. As the saying goes: if you don't make a home, you can't build a business. Liu Yan also began to worry about the lifelong affairs of these subordinates.

In the past few months, under Chen Xun's leadership, many lonely male and female military families inside and outside Wangjiazhuang have also reformed families and formed new couples. Liu Yan also asked the officers to lead by example. Those who are not married should get married quickly, and those who have already married should have more wives and concubines and raise children, but these subordinates are still single, and Liu Yan has asked many times about this matter.

Liu Yan said: "By the way, have you found a suitable family?" How long has it been since this happened, and one by one they are still so single? ”

Except for Chen Xun, the rest of the people rode their horses back to the team on the grounds of restraining the soldiers, so that Liu Yan couldn't help but curse twice into the air.

Chen Xun on the side said with a smile: "Don't worry, adults, I see that a few of them haven't met the right girl, this kind of thing can't be rushed, you still have to take your time." ”

Liu Yan snorted, and then said: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, before the Chinese New Year this year, several of them must get married!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yan rode his horse to the front of the team to inspect, leaving only the stunned Chen Xun.

From Wangjiazhuang to the city of Qianhu is only a few dozen miles away, 1,000 or hundreds of people are very fast, and in the afternoon of this day, they arrived outside the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village.

Outside the south gate of Qianhu City in front of Xiahe Village, Dai Jingbin, deputy Qianhu of Qianhu City, and a group of officials warmly greeted Liu Yan and his party.

Speaking of Dai Jingbin, Liu Yan, a former subordinate, became his top boss, I don't know what his mood is at this time, but presumably with Dai Jingbin's tactfulness, he should have adjusted his mood at this time.

In fact, after hearing that Liu Yan was determined to be the defender of the former Thousand Households City of Xiahe Village, Dai Jingbin was very insomnia for a few days, but his role changed quickly. Dai Jingbin soon carried rich gifts, and went to Wangjiazhuang with a smile to find Liu Yanla's relationship, and there was only one sentence in a thousand words, that is, he hoped that Liu Yan would help him more in the future.

For Dai Jingbin, of course Liu Yan will reuse, he has no acquaintances in the Qianhu City in front of Xiahe Village, and Dai Jingbin, who is familiar with the details of the Qianhu City, can assist him, and related matters can be carried out quickly. With Liu Yan's power at this time, presumably Dai Jingbin will never be like before, but will treat Liu Yan as his father as respectful. 33

From afar, Liu Yan heard Dai Jingbin's hearty laughter, and he, together with a cadre of officials from Qianhu City, strode up to meet him.

Looking at the thousands and hundreds of people brought by Liu Yan, Dai Jingbin and the others were all taken aback, thinking that Liu Yan was silent in Wangjiazhuang, when had he developed so many strong families, no wonder he could be beheaded and promoted, and he was promoted to office like a rocket, and he really had a certain amount of capital, not his official fortune. You must know that when he was on the Yaoshan Mountain Road, Liu Yan brought less than a thousand people, and now there are many of them, a thousand or hundreds of people!

Dai Jingbin was still wearing the military attache from the fifth grade, which was a deputy thousand-household official uniform, which was one level lower than Liu Yan's thousand-household official uniform, and at this time, I saw Dai Jingbin quickly greet him, and said with a smile: "The lower officials and others are here to greet each other, and it is really hard to defend the adult saddle horse." ”

Dai Jingbin diligently served Liu Yan to dismount, in the past, the boss in the city of Qianhu served him like this, Liu Yan was also very happy in his heart, he smiled and said: "Brother Dai, these days are good in the city of Qianhusuo?" ”

Seeing Liu Yan call himself like this in front of everyone, Dai Jingbin felt a light on his face, and he said again and again: "Entrusted to Lord Hongfu, the lower official is very good, but the adult is so loved, it is really a torture to kill the lower official."

Liu Yan knew that although Dai Jingbin had a rough expression, he was very good at talking, and he had already learned this when he went to see Zhang Hailin.

Liu Yan exchanged a few words with Dai Jingbin, and then saw the officials of thousands of households behind him, Dai Jingbin understood, and said diligently: "My lord, the lower official will introduce you to you." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
