"Lord, in fact, I think it's good to be a housekeeper, maybe you can become the best housekeeper."

Xue San teased.

Zheng Fan was too lazy to take care of Xue San's mouth.

Perhaps, for ordinary people, going to the Li family to be a family is a difficult thing to refuse, the family here is different from the family of ordinary large families, not responsible for chores and housework, but a private soldier, eat the best with the best father and son succession, but also the most loyal to the main family of a group, a bit like the emperor's royal forest army.

It can be said that after entering that circle, after three or five years, it will be the Li family's descendants.

And the Li family, after Xue San's news later, is the largest family in Beifeng County, the people are not very rich, and the heirs have not been prosperous, but it is a real family of meritorious military generals, and the family has inherited the title of Marquis of Zhenbei for generations, a bit like the Mu Wangfu in the Ming Dynasty.

But how could Zheng Fan leave behind his seven "subordinates" and run away to be the head of the house alone?

For those who are not familiar with this world, only these seven "subordinates" can make themselves feel safe.

And even from a personal development point of view, it is much better to be a small boss yourself than to work for someone else.

"When I was camping last night, I went to the officers' tent to eavesdrop on their chat."

"The woman's tent?" Liang Cheng looked at Xue San.

Xue San immediately shook his head, "The old man with the sword will not leave her an inch, and now I am not absolutely sure that I will hide it from that old man, so I chose a middle-level officer's military account, but I heard a lot of news."

At the moment, the life of the Li family, that is, the Beihou family in this town, is not easy.

Because the barbarians in the desert have completely split into a scattered relationship, there has been no large-scale battle-level conflict between the two sides for nearly a hundred years, and at most it is a small fight.

Because of this, the status of the Zhenbei Hou line began to get lower and lower, in fact, they blamed themselves, they didn't know how to play the trick of raising one-handed self-respect.

Then after this generation of Yan monarchs ascended the throne, they have been working on cutting the feudal domains, first weakening the power of the feudal towns below and centralizing power, as if they were planning to use troops against the Central Plains and dominate the Central Plains.

The contemporary Zhenbei Hou has been forcibly asked to enter Beijing by the three holy decrees a while ago, nominally to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, but in fact has been placed under house arrest in the capital.

At present, there are also some people in the Zhenbei Army who are panicking. ”

"So, this time, is the Li family demonstrating?" Liang Cheng asked.

"Almost, the excuse is that two scouts of the Zhenbei Army disappeared in the sphere of influence of that barbarian tribe, and the Zhenbei Army asked to be stationed for a search, but the other party refused.

Next, the Zhenbei Houfu ordered thousands of iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army and killed them directly.

The leader of the barbarian tribe was a little brainy, and wanted to intercept and kill the grain road, who knew that the girl was even more ruthless, and directly used thousands of people as bait, and wiped out all the horses and horses dispatched by the barbarian tribe this time. ”

After Liang Cheng heard this, he nodded and said: "The purpose of deliberately provoking the army is to show the Yan Imperial Court that the Li family still has a strong control over Beifeng County and the Zhenbei Army, so that the imperial court will not dare to attack Zhenbei Hou in the capital;

Deliberately using the people as bait, first, is to achieve huge results in a short period of time, so that this local war that is destined to be unsustainable can end quickly, after all, this war is the Zhenbei Houfu is the initiative of the Houfu, not the intention of the imperial court, and the Zhenbei Houfu cannot afford to delay, the war must start quickly, and at the same time, it must be ended quickly, otherwise whether it is the accountability of the imperial court or the desert barbarians who are slowly united and united, it is not something that the only Zhenbei Houfu can afford.

Second, it is also self-defilement, defiling the lintel of the Li family, making the emperors and ministers of the Yan court feel that the Li family is just a puppet and lower their vigilance.

But anyone who has an antipathy and wants to win that position, at least before the incident, will make a feeling of loving the people like a son to buy people's hearts, and the fact that the Zhenbei Houfu used thousands of people as bait this time I believe that it will spread soon, and the people of Hutou City, including the entire Beifeng County, will have a bad feeling towards the move of the Zhenbei Houfu, but the court will be very happy. ”

"I didn't expect you to understand it so well." Zheng Fan looked at Liang Cheng with some surprise.

In Zheng Fan's impression, Liang Cheng has always been a person who is a man of few words, but this kind of person has a clear understanding of this kind of thing in his heart.

"I have also experienced something similar, the cunning rabbit dies and cooks the lackey, this is an unchanging truth in ancient times.

And sometimes, as long as you stand in that position, no matter how faithful you are to your superiors, there is no guarantee that your subordinates will be equally loyal. ”

"Is it like Zhao Kuangyin?" Zheng Fan said.

"Almost."

Three people, sitting on the mound, chatted while watching the army march ahead.

Zheng Fan got up first, patted his pants, and said:

"Alright, we should go back too."

"Haha, when we go back, we have to think about how to make good use of the establishment of those three hundred people." Xue San couldn't wait to jump on horseback.

"There is only establishment, no money, food, and ordnance." Zheng Fan reminded Xue San.

The imperial court did issue an edict in order to protect the trade routes, but it did not really require each border town to maintain and prepare for the construction of a caravan escort in the city on its own, but asked the military leaders of Beifeng County led by the Li family to send people to each town to take charge.

This is actually a means to weaken the military strength of the other side, there are many cities on the border similar to Hutou City, three hundred here, three hundred there, converted into a lot.

A soft knife cuts meat, and sometimes it hurts more.

But obviously, the Li family didn't plan to really obey orders, as a feudal town, now the owner of the house has also been placed under house arrest in the capital, if he continues to cut off his hands and feet, it will really turn himself into a fish on the chopping board.

Therefore, that woman would say to Zheng Fan that there is only preparation, and there is no horse and military food and equipment to supplement it.

Liang Cheng also turned over and got on the horse, and when he heard Zheng Fan's words, his face showed a look of confidence, and said:

"Lord, don't worry about money and people, if the blind and Siniang can't even do this thing, they themselves won't have the face to continue to follow the Lord."

Xue San interjected at this time: "No, Siniang is useful to keep it, and the blind man can lose it." ”

In the end, they made meritorious contributions, so when they left the team and returned to Hutou City, each person gave a horse.

Oh, and one that, in the eyes of the female general, is useless and a military order,

The captain of the Hutou City Protector is a merchant captain, with an establishment of three hundred people.

The scorching sun is just,

The three horsemen galloped together,

A cloud of dust and sand kicked up.

………………

"Sisters, all the ones on this table are the coils I prepared for you, this is your contract, look at it, I'll burn it now."

Feng Siniang held a handful of deeds in her hand and threw them into the brazier.

It's just that none of these "aunts" standing in front of them said they wanted to leave, and none of them came up to get the money.

The deed's owner's family directly burned it without you paying a penny of redemption money, and sent you to coil, looking at the brothels in the world, such a good mother is really the only one.

Of course, if you want to change to a city in the mainland, there is such a good thing, and the girls are probably eager to flock up to take the money and leave, but this is Hutou City, and they are not some delicate beautiful girls.

Someone knelt down, and under the lead role, everyone knelt down together.

"Mom, can you do without us?"

"Yes, Mom, where else can we go without your protection?"

"Mom, I don't want to go."

In the past six months, the inn has opened, and Siniang has received a lot of "aunts", all of whom are hard-working people who can't live a few days.

This time is different, the world and country where Zheng Fan was before, if you have hands and feet, it is really difficult for you to starve to death.

But at the moment, it's a world where it's really easy to starve to death.

"What's wrong?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Siniang's mouth, "What's the matter with this lifeless and vain person who still relies on me?" ”

"Smack!"

Siniang slapped the table.

Mom's momentum is terrifying!

Siniang treats the girls under her hands well, and the girls under her hands also know that compared to the old bustard in the kiln outside who doesn't take human life seriously, Siniang is simply a Bodhisattva.

But Siniang's royal majesty is also extremely strict, and they are also obedient, once Siniang is angry, they really don't dare to continue shouting, so they have to bow their heads one by one.

"This one by one, private money, there should be no less savings, our price is not expensive, but let's be fast!

At the end of the day, you've all saved a lot of money, right?

Auntie, grandma, and I don't eat alone, tip or anything, and turn a blind eye to it.

It's good now, aunt and grandmother, I burned your deed and wrapped it for you.

Next, whether you continue to stay in Hutou City or go to other towns, whether you want to do a small business or find an honest man to marry, or go out of my door and immediately drill other kilns to continue this business, it's up to you, and you can all go!

Let's not owe anyone anything, don't cry in front of the old lady, your little bit of work is still taught by the old lady, you can deceive the guests, and you still want to deceive the old lady? ”

Having said that, the "aunts" looked at each other, and they all slowly stood up, and began to step forward one by one to take the coils, and after taking the coils, they kowtowed to Siniang again.

An aunt took the coil, kowtowed, and did not hurry to stand up, but asked:

"Mom, this store is opening so well, why is it closing?"

"Off? Who said the old lady was closing? ”

"Why do you have to ............ if you don't close the store?"

Feng Siniang smiled,

Reached

Pointing to his face,

Road:

"My mother will upgrade the industry in the future, and in the past six months, my mother has really had enough!"

The subconscious meaning of this can be translated into another sentence, a sentence that most class teachers will say:

You guys are the worst class I've ever had.

………………

"It's still good to drink red wine."

The blind man put down his wine glass, and there was a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Save a little, not much brewing."

Ah Ming, who had recovered, sat beside the blind man.

In the yard, it was raining, beating on the loquat trees.

"In the future, you can brew more." Blind North said.

Ah Ming turned his face sideways and looked at the blind north, "Are you going to start?" ”

The blind man stretched his waist and said, "That depends on how well you recover." ”

"I'm fine."

Vampires don't recover at the same rate as men, but they both represent a sense of pride.

"No problem, let's get started."

"Oh, the body is fine, but in other aspects, there are two more problems."

"Say."

"The first question, the Lord hasn't come back yet, are you going to make your own decisions?"

"The Lord will come back sooner or later, and what we have done is only a trivial matter, and we still have this self-consciousness and subjective initiative."

"Okay, the second question, I told you the day before yesterday, my body is almost recovered, why didn't you say the start the day before yesterday but chose today?"

"Because it's raining today."

"Huh?"

"I think it's a rainy day, it's good to kill."

Ah Ming stood up,

Looking at the blind man who was still sitting on the chair and squinting,

After a while,

Opening:

"You're scratching."
