Chapter 80: Chips in Hand
A.D. 185 July Bingchen, that is, the third day of receiving the holy decree, Jiang Qi took Zhao Yun to set off after ordering Xun Yu to guard Shuofang County, Jiang Qi and his party had two battalions of more than 4,000 people, each of whom rode lightly, and could go out of 100 miles in one day, and its speed could only be described as coming and going like the wind.
The cavalry came and went like the wind, but Jiang Qi and his party, who had almost forgotten their hometown for four days, finally saw the kind faces again, maybe they had been outside the plug for a long time, and now Jiang Qi felt that he was a little unkempt, not only was he unkempt, but his body was also full of sheep's flesh, and after crossing the Great Wall, he looked at the Han people on both sides of the official road and looked a little unaccustomed.
Returning to Xihe County, who was not very familiar with the Shili Stone, the first thing Jiang Qi did was to retire from his subordinates and freshen up. The smell of mutton that was cleaned up, and the beard that became unusually rich because of eating beef and mutton meat every day, and then looked at the shadow on the bronze mirror, Jiang Qi finally remembered what he originally looked like.
When night fell, Jiang Qi, who was busy going to Beijing, would not stay in Lishi for too long, so he gathered all Lishi's subordinates together as soon as it was night.
Tasting the freshly brewed strong tea, Jiang Qi only felt that his stomach was much better, and he did not leave the meat of cattle and sheep every day for half a year, and accumulated a lot of oil and water in his stomach.
"Lord, how many people are accompanying you to Luoyang" Shi Tianfeng, who had been drinking for thirty years, asked Jiang Qi first.
"Your Majesty doesn't have a will, Qi thinks that changing the battle will be a taboo for soldiers, and now there are more people who go to it, it's troublesome, just me and Zilong Battalion to go, Zilong Battalion has been expanded by nearly half of the battalion, and you can also use this battle to train recruits, and Zhicai will handle the affairs of the army as a military Sima" Seeing that the time was almost up, Tian Feng asked, Jiang Qi began to arrange the next things.
"Subordinates receive orders" As soon as he heard that Jiang Qi actually wanted to join the army himself, Xi Zhicai hurriedly got up and received the order after a short illusion.
"What's going on with Xihe Tuntian now," Jiang Qi continued.
"Lord Yu, from the beginning of spring ploughing Xihe began to tuntian, since now Tuntian 115 hectares, of which 37 hectares for the military tun, although there is a small disaster this year, but the grain in the field is not bad, if there is no accident, next year Xihe can be self-sufficient" as a captain of Tuntian frustrated back to the court.
"Yes, we will continue to reclaim land next year and strive to quadruple the land, I don't know how many people there are in the county now," Jiang Qi said.
"Back to the lord, at the beginning of Tuntian, there were more than 4,700 households and more than 197,000 people in the six counties of Lishi, Zhongyang, Pingzhou, Lin County, Yuanyang, and Yuanyin in Xihe County, but later there were many displaced people in Hexi, and now the population should be over 250,000."
"Xihe is suffering from wars and serious population loss every year, and now Shuofang, which has just been recovered, can't see any trace of Han people" Thinking of Shuofang's deserted fields and sparsely populated appearance, Jiang Qi's brain hurts a little.
After Jiang Qi finished speaking, Xun You said loudly: "Now that the counties are disturbing, and the displaced people are everywhere, if you have the heart, you should guide the millions of displaced people There will be no problem, the lord is not as good as γγγγγγ"
When selecting the new army this time, he Xun You learned about the situation of the displaced people in the following counties, and if Xihe County planned to help other counties solve the difficult situation of the displaced people, it should not be a problem to recruit millions of people casually.
"No, such a large-scale guide to the homeless, that is a suspicion of trespassing, a burden of impeachment by the official, then no one can afford to bear the guilt, but γγγ the land is fertile, if no one cultivates it, then it makes no sense for us to occupy it, so let's arrange the displaced people who have settled down first." Jiang Qi said.
"The war on the Su side has just subsided, and the people have been moving within for a long time, I'm afraid the people are not very willing," Tian Feng worried.
"That's no way, who wants to leave their hometown, but you can use the lure of profits, so Yuan Hao issued a notice, saying that if you are willing to go to Sufang Tuntian's gift of a cultivated cow and ten acres of Yongye field, the government is responsible for the immigrant residence, and the first year is exempt from taxes."
"If this is the case, there should be displaced people to γγγγγ," Tian Feng said.
"In this way, you will issue an announcement in the army, if there are military households willing to move with the army, each household will give 30 acres of Yongye land, a ploughing cattle, three sheep, a set of homesteads, and tax exemption for three years."
"No," Xun Yu said.
"The officials at all levels in Xihe can be properly equipped, how is the county guard Xing Ji now," Bi Jiangqi then asked Chen Qun.
"All county-level officials are drawn from the army, although there are deficiencies in the past six months, but not bad, as for this Xing Ji is very idle now, except for occasionally going to the government to hang out, he is also interested" Chen Qun got up and said with a smile, after saying that, Chen Qun remembered something and continued: "The lord knows that the new county guard of Shangjun has taken office last month."
"Really? Originally, Ben Hou was still thinking about protecting which of you would go to Shangjun to take over as the county guard, it seems that the speed of the imperial court this time is quite fast, who arrived in Shangjun" Hearing that someone had intervened in his territory, Jiang Qi was slightly angry in his heart.
"Speaking of this person, he still has an old relationship with the lord, and the lord still remembers the long society Zhong Xuan," Chen Qun said.
"Zhong Xuan, Zhong Yuanchang, of course Ben Hou remembers that after the fire of the Changshe, Ben Hou stayed in the Changshe, and at that time, Brother Yuan Chang assisted in taking care of it, and later Ben Hou went out to fight Yuan Chang Brother made the Changshe order" Jiang Qi thought for a while, and then remembered Zhong Xuan, the first son of the Changshe who had a short relationship in the Changshe.
"It's Zhong Yuanchang, Brother Yuan Chang because of the good governance in the Changshe, just removed the county guard, Yuan Chang also went to Xihe when he took office, and Yuan Chang also mentioned the lord at that time, and in the words, Yuan Chang seemed to know what the lord meant to Shangjun, and even invited the army to Shangjun to garrison" Xun You interjected.
"It seems that Brother Yuan Chang is a little interesting, but Qi is just a general, how dare he intervene in Shangjun, it is better to do this, Benhou Baoju Changwen and Zhongzhi went to Shangjun to serve" Listening to Xun You's talk about Zhong Xuan's overtures, although Jiang Qi didn't know what his old friend meant, he couldn't let go of Shangjun with a piece of fat, and then thought of letting Chen Qun and Xin Ping go to Shangjun to get involved in government affairs.
"Subordinates know" Chen Qun and Xin Ping glanced at each other, and got up a little thoughtfully to receive the order.
"Xiahou is walking on the West River, how is the security now" Then Jiang Qi looked at Xiahou Lan, who was in charge of the security of the counties.
"Lord Qiqi, at first there were some small and dangerous parties, among which there were a small number of remnants of Taiping Dao, and later with the assistance of the far wing, it was pacified, and now I heard that the gangsters in Xihe have been incorporated by a group of people in Baibo Valley in the east of the river" Xiahou Landao.
"Baibo Valley γγγ" heard that something seemed to flash in Gu Ming's mind Jiang Qi, but he didn't think much of it.
"Senior brother, do you want to send troops to ask for it, the recruits who have just been trained by the junior brother are lacking the opportunity to train soldiers, if you see the blood, your combat power will definitely improve a lot" Seeing that Jiang Qi was thinking, Tong Fei, who was looking for an opportunity to interject, got up and asked for his life.
"Although Brother Wei is now appointed as a general of the Che Cavalry, but there is no imperial court to order Hedong is not something you can go casually, but you want to fight is not without a chance, after a while, after Zhong Xiao and the third brother change guards, the third brother will return to Xihe to guard Xihe instead of you, and then you will lead the recruits into Shuofang, what should you do when you arrive at Shuofang, and the second brother will arrange" Looking at the junior brother who has matured a lot in the past six months, Jiang Qi was relieved to say the first word.
"When, senior brother, you don't know, I often listen to your good news these days, senior brother doesn't know how much the junior brother regrets not going to kill Hu with you in the first place" Listening to the battle, Tong Fei said excitedly.
Tong Fei thought about how Jiang Qi didn't know, originally Jiang Qi wanted to train Tong Fei to be a general, but now looking at his impatient appearance, there is still a long way to go, and then he said: "Soon, at the latest in March and in January, when the third brother comes back, he will bring back the materials seized in this expedition, this time he has won a lot in addition to the ones sent back before, the third brother should bring back more than 100,000 cattle and sheep this time, and the war horses will not be less than 30,000, in addition, there are a lot of them anyway, at that time, Brother Zijie will be responsible for arranging, it is a pity that these cattle and sheep are killed, it is best to raise them." , as for how Brother Zijie handles it himself"
"The subordinates understand, the war horse is easy to say, leave the stallion and the rest of the army, as for the cattle and sheep owners to see if they can lend them to the people to help raise them, and then return them proportionally after the cattle and sheep give birth in the futureγγγγ okay?" As the god of wealth of the Jiang family army today, Jiang Wei is thinking about how to take care of the money for the army every day, and he has been thinking about the strategy of borrowing chickens and eggs for some days, and now he sees Jiang Qi mention it.
"Brother just look at it, anyway, the spoils are all for you, if you still find the younger brother to cry poor in the future, the younger brother can ignore it, hahahaγγγ"
"Hahahaγγγγγ"

Mountains and ridges are staggered, trees become forests, looking at the mountains and mountains from afar, a Xiongguan descends from the sky, firmly guards between the two mountains, Xiongguan blocks the road, and is invincible.
"Mother, is it the world's No. 1 hero? The child has never seen such a magnificent level! Looking at the checkpoint from afar, a handsome young man sitting on horseback about seven feet tall shouted to the carriage on the side, this young man was about sixteen years old, his face was like a crown of jade, his temples were like a pile of crows, his eyes were bright, and he looked like a beautiful son.
"Have you arrived?" Listening to his son's shouting, the curtain of the car full of dust mites slowly rose, and then a soft voice sounded, and then a beautiful woman appeared in the world, the young woman was about thirty years old, her skin was like condensation, her shoulders were sharpened, and her eyes were full of elegance.
"Mother, my daughter also wants to see γγγ" When the young woman lifted the curtain of the car, a cute little head with a step in her arms also stretched out, and as she stretched out her head, the little girl looked curiously at everything outside the car.
"Uncle, did you go to the capital after the tiger prison, but my nephew looks no different from us in the countryside? There are still people fleeing everywhere," the little girl had just finished speaking, and a young man sitting on the wheel of the car continued, the young man who was a coachman was about the same age as the young man on horseback, but the two were very different in appearance, one was well-proportioned and had a jade face, and the other had a big waist and a strong appearance, of course, the two also had something in common, that is, they also had an unforgettable attraction.
"Qi'er, Chu'er, it's not like you're messing around in the capital, the person you see when you look up in Luoyang may be a high-ranking official or nobleman, if you get into trouble, it won't be a trivial matter, you know?" Seeing Luoyang close in front of her, the young woman couldn't help but remind her son and nephew who had been naughty since childhood.
"Auntie, don't worry! As long as others don't offend children, children won't make trouble," the handsome boy smiled mischievously.
"Uncle, when I came, my grandmother told Chu that Chu listened to her uncle and aunt everything, but this time my uncle and mother want my nephew to visit Luoyang, and my nephew is the first time to go to a prosperous place" The sturdy young man also echoed and smiled.
"Is it fun for my grandmother to γγγ grandmother's house?" Hearing the words of the two brothers, the little girl in the car also asked in a lively manner.
"You three, all right! I haven't been home for more than ten years since my mother got married, and this time I stayed in Luoyang for a few days, and there are a few cousins in your uncle's family who should be the same age as you, and you will not be lonely when the time comes" Looking at the appearance of the three children, the young woman couldn't help but smile and said.
As he spoke, one big and three small, one cart and one horse soon walked in front of the Tiger Prison, close to the checkpoint, the moving carriage slowly stopped, and followed by the carriage that entered the customs lined up in a long queue waiting to enter the customs.
Tiger prison pass as the capital to Shandong first fortress, this level has always been heavily defended, generally in the morning three quarter of the hour switch, three hours of the unitary three quarter of the retreat, the city gate no matter who calls the door will never open, even if the messenger into Beijing misses the hour will only be hung into the pass.
Of course, the time for the Tiger Prison to open and close the city gate will change with the situation, just like the gate will not be opened when it is closed in a war, and even if the checkpoint is opened today, the soldiers guarding the city gate are sweeping the streets and blocking all the cars and horses that pass the gate.
"Uhγγγ mother, how long will you have to wait?" asked the little girl in the carriage with a drowsy look as the carriage stopped for more than an hour, and with the neighing of the branches of the trees.
"It's strange today, usually the release time of the tiger prison is very regular, I'm afraid there are special circumstances today, Ya'er is sleepy and sleeps in her mother's arms for a while," the young woman lovingly caressed the young face of her daughter in her arms.
"Uncle or don't you want my nephew to inquire about the situation," the strong man sitting on the wheel heard the young woman's words when he was bored, and hurriedly asked for instructions.
"Mother, the child will go too" As soon as he heard his cousin's instructions, the handsome young man also came to his senses, and hurriedly jumped up from the wheel.
Seeing that the hour was not early, the young woman slightly bowed her head in agreement, but at the same time she agreed, she did not forget to remind the two brothers who loved to cause trouble: "It's okay to go and see, but your brothers must not cause trouble." γ
"Okayγγγ" The two brothers hurriedly agreed, regardless of whether they really listened to it or not, and with the promise, the two brothers disappeared in a blink of an eye.
