Chapter 206: Opera
After Chu Yujia became the county guard of Shuiyun County, Shuiyun County was handled by himself, just like his father before.
The Chu family is responsible for the good here, and the Chu family is responsible for the break, and the royal court can't ask.
When the Northwest Army returned from Qianshu, it carried a large amount of booty, in addition to gold and silver, there were some cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry and jade.
All these things were handed over to the Yuedu Dart Bureau to sell, and the money earned was divided into twenty-eight points.
To a certain extent, the Yuedu Dart Bureau has now become a subsidiary industry of Chu Yujia and the Northwest Army, and it can be regarded as a supernumerary organization.
Of course, the Yuedu Dart Bureau also made a lot of money because of its cooperation with the Northwest Army, after all, the most profitable business in the world is to do business with the official family.
After having money, Rong Mingzhi, the guy who had become an iron rooster, finally began to issue various policies to benefit the people, and some of the wounded soldiers who could not continue to fight stayed in the army to do some simple work such as feeding horses, but more chose to return to their hometowns to farm or do some other work.
Whether it is the Northwest Army or the Ye State, the pensions for wounded soldiers and fallen soldiers are very high, and they are also a scale that no one dares to touch.
If it is found that the official dares to take the pension of the wounded and the fallen soldier without permission, it will be a crime to be beheaded.
In addition to the 60,000 regular army in the Northwest Army, there are about 70,000 troops including the Black Guard Battalion, the Feather Eye Battalion, the Modao Heavy Armor Battalion, and the Horizontal Knife Battalion.
After this battle, more than 13,000 people were lost in battle, and 20,000 recruits were not put into the battlefield before, so they were directly assigned to the various armies to fill the vacancies.
After that, the Northwest Army began to recruit soldiers and horses on a large scale, but the recruitment quota of the Northwest Army was also limited, and Chu Yujia always stipulated that the recruitment could not exceed 100,000 no matter what, and 20,000 new troops as reserves must also be included.
Because the performance of the Northwest Army this time can be called ancient and modern, so this time it is very easy to recruit soldiers and horses, and even many people are admired from other places, just a few days, enough places have been recruited, but according to Meng Feihang, the future training will increase the intensity, there must be many people to leave, so those who come will not refuse, and then take its essence to remove its dross, leaving those real elites.
The Northwest Army, as always, adhered to the Tuntian project that Chu Qianwen had left behind, and the veterans gathered together during the war, and after the war, they all scattered everywhere to assist the people in cultivating farmland, building bridges and roads, so as to expand productivity.
And nowadays, for Shuiyun County, the most important thing is the need for a canal river.
Shuiyun County is not without water, but the branches of the big rivers are in the north, not to mention that there are no rivers in the south, but they are all a minority, if you want the people in the county not to go hungry, at least most of the county must have water to irrigate the farmland.
After consulting with Meng Feihang, Rong Mingzhi and others, Chu Yujia decided to let the recruits open up waterways outside of training, connecting many river branches together, so as to facilitate the people to irrigate the farmland.
Originally, Chu Yujia planned to take his wife and children to the desert market after a few days of rest, but when he got busy, he began to have no beginning and no end again.
Half a decade later, Chu Yujia got a rare time to rest, but because the time was too short, he could only take his wife and daughter around Tongquan Mansion to see the scenery in Tongquan Mansion.
A family of three, together with a maidservant Kang'er, came to a place called Dongtian Teahouse.
This teahouse is still relatively famous in Tongquan Mansion, although it is not as elegant and luxurious as Ling Youge, but it also has a unique flavor.
The teahouse is divided into two floors, and the inside is unprecedentedly spacious and clean.
Looking inside, at the innermost end is a stage more than half a person high, at this time someone is acting on it, talking and singing, and the audience below also applauds from time to time.
Chu Yujia hadn't seen a play for a long time, so he walked into it with his wife and daughter, asked for some tea and fruit snacks, and found a position with a better angle to sit down.
The plays staged on stage are very civilian, and the costumes and props are very simple and rough.
At this time, a scene of the destruction of a home by people wearing animal skins is playing out on stage.
This is very similar to what happened to Shuiyun County before, which resonated with many people in the audience.
Before the Northwest Army appeared, Shuiyun County was like this, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the people here live in dire straits every day.
To this day, many elderly people still remember those difficult years.
Just as many people were reminiscing about that period of suffering, a general with a spear and a longbow appeared on the stage, and he took many black-armored and black-robed Ye soldiers to drive away or kill those wearing animal skins.
At this time, the audience remembered the applause and cheers, and the atmosphere in the teahouse quickly became hot.
Seeing this, Chu Yujia also raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and rubbed Yao'er's little head, and said, "Do you know what this is playing?"
"I know, I'm playing grandpa. ”
Chu Yao'er was very smart, and said happily: "This is grandpa's story, I heard Mr. Gu tell me about it." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yujia was also a little surprised.
I didn't expect Gu Cinong to even tell Yao'er about this.
After that, the stage began to perform again, and when they saw the general being pushed onto the execution table, many people couldn't help but cry.
After the death of the general, the men in animal skins made a comeback, and the people fell into misery.
At this time, Yao'er looked up at Chu Yujia in confusion and asked, "Daddy, I don't understand, grandpa is so powerful, why did they kill grandpa......"
"That's not something you should be thinking about. ”
Chu Yujia pursed her lips, and she didn't know how to explain this matter to Yao'er.
This incident is also a scar in his heart, and he is reluctant to mention it to anyone.
Gong Limo took over the conversation, rubbed Yao'er's head, and said, "It's because grandpa is so powerful, some people are jealous of grandpa's talent." ”
Unexpectedly, Gong Limo would say this, Chu Yujia was a little surprised.
At this time, the scene on the stage has changed, because there is a general with a sword on the stage, and this person is nothing more than interpreting the story of Chu Yujia.
At this time, after the appearance of this sword-wielding general, like his father, he led the Ye army to defeat those enemies again, and even assimilated some of the enemies and turned them into his own people.
The general led the people to build a paradise of paradise, and the stage also used a colorful background to set off the joy of the people.
But the good times did not last long, and a group of rough men rushed to the stage and began to bully the people, beating and robbing, causing the people to cry and scream.
The front is indeed the story of Chu Yujia and Chu Qianwen, the two generations of Chu family generals, so what does this mean?
Chu Yujia couldn't help frowning and looked at the men on the stage.
Before he could react, he suddenly heard a loud bang at the gate of the teahouse, and then dozens of Ye soldiers with spears in their hands ran in.
This time it's not acting, the people who come are all genuine Ye Jun.
"Stop, Stop, Stop......"
"Don't act, don't act. ”
Out of the crowd came a man who looked like a man, holding a sword in his hand, and his eyes were like lightning scanning the teahouse.
Seeing this scene, the guests of the teahouse and everyone who staged the show were also shocked.
Many people don't understand what's going on.
Why did so many officers and soldiers suddenly appear?
