A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 108 Staying in Weizhou
Wu Huaiyu wanted to go back to Chang'an.

He doesn't want to stay in Longyou, he hopes to return to Chang'an triumphantly, and then bring Fan Xuanfu to the door to propose marriage, and he is still thinking about the old Wu family in Sanyuan, Weibei. avoid.

"Congratulations on your promotion." Wang Tiefo congratulated with a smile, "We will work together in Weizhou in the future, and the safety of Weizhou depends on General Wu."

The town general of the hospital, who is a sixth-rank post, was indeed promoted, and also served as Sima of Weizhou from the sixth rank.

Huaiyu couldn't laugh.

Originally, Li Shimin sent him to Longyou to inspect the school and conduct medical work. He was a civilian, but now he has become a border guard general.

Chai Shao was about to lead his troops across Longshan Mountain back to Guanzhong, but he didn't take him. After all, he was also the marching staff officer of the camp, the school inspector and the medical staff of the camp.

Wang Tiefo, the governor of Weizhou, is the fourth rank, and Qin Xingqi, the governor of Weizhou, is also the sixth rank. From then on, they will work together in this three-acre land in Weizhou.

"Erlang,"

Cheng Chumo looked like a polar bear, with exaggerated steps, Huaiyu felt that he did it on purpose, and this guy was also promoted.He was originally a general of the Commander's Mansion under Youwuwei, but now he is awarded the commanding officer of Weizhou Pingle Commander's Mansion by Chai Shao. It turned out that the Commander's guard died in Weizhou, and Cheng Chumo took advantage of it.

Following Niu Jinda, this guy first made great achievements in overcoming the siege of Weizhou and annihilating hundreds of enemies, and then defended Longxi City. He fought hard in the prison city and beheaded many people to record his achievements. In addition, his father is now the prince's confidant and upstart in the army. Of course, Chai Shao has to take care of him, so he gave it to him directly This Pingle Commander's Mansion is under the fifth rank of the post of commanding the army.

He was originally a general of the commanding army who had just been promoted to the sixth rank before the expedition, but now he was directly promoted to the commanding army of the lower mansion, and he was also promoted to a sixth rank official.

Now he is extremely frightened, he can walk out of the arrogance of the fifth rank, although he is covered in gauze, he has the aura of a whitebait in a scarlet robe.

There are four military mansions in Weizhou, Weiyuan, Pingle, Linyuan, and Wannian.

Huaiyu's town general is only in charge of 800 frontier troops, while Cheng Chumo, the commander of the government, has [-] troops in charge.

"Be careful of the wound bursting." Huaiyu reminded him.

"It's okay," Cheng Chumo said triumphantly, those swords and arrows were really not in vain.

Seeing him like this, Huaiyu also understands better what it means to be a general who has achieved great success. Cheng Chumo led a sub-battalion of 500 people from the right vanguard to guard Longxi City, plus several thousand strong people in the city. In the end, only his subordinates died. Not satisfied with a team, there are less than [-] young and strong men left in the city.

Those people would die there forever, but Cheng Chumo went up six levels in a row.

Walking out of the lobby, it seemed that everyone was celebrating.

Huaiyu was promoted to the sixth-rank general, and Cheng Chumo was promoted to the fifth-rank commander of the Xiatong Army Mansion.

Wu Huaiyi was also awarded by Chai Shao the post of General of the Weiyuan Command Army Mansion from the sixth rank, and Wu Junwei was awarded the post of deputy general of the hospital town under the seventh rank. The lower ranks are the recorder to join the army, Cangcao to join the army, and Bingcao to join the army.

The eight children and grandchildren of Wu Junren, Wu Junyi, Wu Junbo, Wu Xizhe, Wu Xisheng and other warriors have indeed come to the right place this time. They have made meritorious deeds, and they were all appointed by Chai Shao. Eighty-nine grades.

Even those who followed Huaiyu from the Cheng family and the old Wu family also selected Fubing this time, and a few of them had to be awarded the rank-[-] job of deputy team leader.

In the team of the Huaiyu Hospital Camp, everyone who survived was promoted.

"You are obviously the eldest son of Su Guogong, and you are already a sixth-rank general of the Commanding Army Mansion. You don't need to come to Longyou Battlefield at all, just stay in Chang'an, and you can be ranked as a fifth-rank general in less than ten years. , isn’t it a pleasure to inherit the Dukedom of the country in the future, why take such a risk?” Huaiyu asked.

Cheng Chumo's only right eye blinked a few times, "Although my Cheng family is powerful in Jeju, it's just a local powerful. I, Aye, have made hundreds of battles, and I followed the right Ming Lord. That's why we have today's country. The position of Lord Duke and General, but our family can't compare with those real famous families after all, our family relies on military merit, and if I want to inherit the Cheng family's business in the future, of course I still have to have military merit."

A general's son, if he doesn't fight on the battlefield, is he just like Lu Huairang?

On the contrary, Cheng Chumo didn't understand Huaiyu very well. He felt that Huaiyu didn't like going to the battlefield very much. Although he made these achievements, this guy seemed to be forced to make contributions. Damn, he envies the dead.Originally, Huaiyu was a child of the imperial army, and his father and brother in his family were not high-ranking officials, so he cherished this opportunity to join the army even more.

"Wars will kill people. Do you know how many people died in the hospital camp this time? When Fuqiang City set off, there were 800 people. After two major battles, more than 500 people died, and more than [-] were seriously injured and disabled. number.

Yesterday it was Chief Chai who came half an hour later, and we will all die in Xinxingchuan. "

But Cheng Chumo just chuckled, "Young generals, if you die in battle, don't you deserve to die? Aren't we not dead now? Aren't we promoted because of meritorious service?"

"There are more than 500 people buried in the ground, and there are more than 300 disabled people who are permanently missing arms, broken legs and blind eyes."

Cheng Chu smiled silently, disapproving.

"I think it's worth it."

Huaiyu thinks that life is valuable, but Cheng Chumo, the eldest son of the Duke, thinks that it is more worthwhile to risk his life for fame.

Ride back to the station.

Someone informed the people in advance of the news, and they were very happy.

The remaining 2000 people can all be selected as Weizhou Fubing.

One hundred acres of land, tax-free, settled in Weizhou.A real one hundred acres will not be given less.

Everyone cheered excitedly.

The first battle of Wushanchuan and the first battle of Xinxingchuan, the merits of the two battles, as well as meritorious service and rewards.

In the battle of Wushanchuan, it was determined to win from the bottom of the battle, but in the battle of Xinxingchuan, although [-] cavalry joined in the end, the numbers of the two armies were still equal. It is also the best.

If you win in the middle battle, you will get four rewards for the first-class meritorious service, for the second and third prizes, you will get three and two ranks, and if you win in the next battle, you will be lowered by one rank.There are also heavy rewards for his special skills such as jumping and swinging, pioneering one, two, and three.

In these two battles, Brother Huaiyu can remember the first class, he can directly win the Qizhuan Xun, and Huaiyi also has the skill of dancing.

The vast majority of soldiers in the hospital battalion can get three ranks of honor after these two battles, a few may get four or five ranks, and only a small number of unlucky ones may only get one or two ranks, or even less than one rank.

The honor book has been handed over to Chai Shao, and the next step is to wait for verification, reporting, and final awarding of honors.

As long as they are still alive and not disabled, they have made a lot of money this time. They have prepared their own food and went with the army, and they have obtained the meritorious service they dreamed of.

Everyone gathered around Huaiyu, and they were extremely grateful to the chief executive who led them to make meritorious deeds.

Only those who were disabled and seriously injured could only lament and cry in Longxi County. Their career dream was over, and they would no longer be able to follow the righteous campaign, no longer be able to seek fame in the battle, and even be disabled for a lifetime.

But after all, they have worked hard for their dreams, just like what many people said when they came, if they don't work hard, they will never be reconciled in this life.

Early the next morning, Chai Shao led his army back east.

Niu Jinda also left. He did not perform well in Weizhou this time, and he was eager to return to Guanzhong to find a place with the Turks.More than half of his right vanguard battalion suffered casualties, and many of the wounded also temporarily stayed in Weizhou for medical treatment.

Wu Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo went to bid farewell to Chai Shao and Niu Jinda. Chai Shao called Huaiyu to come forward and confessed, "I reported to the prince the achievement of killing the special service, and reported to Wu Huaiyi the achievement of capturing the flag and jumping." Gong, with these two great merits, your this product should be able to jump directly to the sixth product."

"I originally wanted to bring you back to Guanzhong, but your reputation as the white-robed chief and the hospital battalion is now spread all over Longyou, and the Turkic people, Tuyuhun, and Qiang also know it. Go, so Tet let you stay.

I entrust all those wounded soldiers to you. They shed blood and died for the country. Take good care of them. "

It seemed that Wu Huaiyu was worried about his use of the hospital battalion as a bait before, and Chai Shao rarely explained a few words again, "Compassion does not control soldiers, everything is for the greatest victory with the least sacrifice. "

"gone!"

"Your bloody sacrifices, I will never forget them, let alone let them down. If I go to Guanzhong, I will invite you for your meritorious deeds as soon as possible. You stay in Weizhou, money, food, medicinal materials, armor, etc., and I will give you as soon as possible." Batiao. Guard Weizhou well, and heal the wounded soldiers. If the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Qiang invade the territory, I will only ask you."

Chai Shao galloped away, looking at his back, Huaiyu understood this great general for the first time, standing in his position, what he wanted to plan was the overall situation rather than just one corner.He is also under great pressure at this time, rushing back to help Guanzhong. If everyone is like Li Youliang, Li Yi, and Zhang Jin, Datang will not be able to defeat Turkic.

Lu Huairang stood beside Huaiyu, looking at the Donggui army: "I believe that General Chai will be able to repel Jieli's army during this trip." This guy actually stayed in Longyou, and his current job is Longyou The marching staff inspected the sick children's camp and Sima in Qinzhou.

Zhongzhou Sima, is under the sixth rank.

During the war, I never saw this guy take a step closer to the battlefield. Every time after a battle, this guy popped up. Before he went out to fight, he was the prince's right guard and the governor.

"The chief manager said that I did a good job in assisting you to inspect the sick children's camp earlier, and I had some credit, so this time I will stay and continue to take care of the wounded soldiers." This guy is not at all embarrassed.

This face is indeed thick enough.

Who makes people with strong backgrounds, the emperor is his father-in-law, the princess is his daughter-in-law, the head of the camp is his brother-in-law, Chang Shi is his wife-in-law, and Sima is his biological father. After this battle is over, naturally he cannot be left behind.

The peaches were picked beautifully.

Fortunately, Huaiyu still has some background and ability, but he didn't steal his credit.

Lu Huairang smiled and handed Huaiyu an official document.

"what is this?"

"Your job field, four and a half hectares, I'll settle it for you, and you don't need to worry about anything else. The annual rent for this land is six buckets of millet per mu, and the fodder and foot money are not included."

Lu Huairang's work efficiency is indeed very fast, and he gave Huaiyu a big gift when he came up, and the 450 mu of land was allocated in one step.

Officials of the Tang Dynasty gave land to their posts according to their ranks. If there is a job, there is a land. Generally, they collect rent and don’t need to cultivate and manage it themselves. If this matter is done well, special affairs are handled specially, and the 450 mu of employment land is just waiting for the rent to be collected.

270 stone millet a year, and additional fodder and foot money.

"Thank you Concubine Lu for your help."

"My brother." Lu Huairang took out another piece of paper as he spoke, "This is your Weizhou Sima's share, which is also four and a half hectares. It has been settled for you, and the land is handed over to the local wealthy landlord for rent. If you can collect the rent on time, it will be handed over to you on time in summer and autumn, and it will be shipped directly to Weizhou City." He even took care of the part-time job.

"There is also this one, which is for your elder brother Huaiyi. It is also four and a half hectares."

Huaiyu couldn't help but admire this guy's ability, "Where did Concubine Lu get so many lands?"

"There is no shortage of land in Weizhou, what is lacking is people who cultivate the land. Our job is easy to get, but the key is to have someone to take the lease, especially to let the big households take the lease."

The borderlands are in chaos, and there are many Qiang barbarians. If the land is handed over to ordinary people for rent, there may be some military panic, floods and droughts. At that time, the rent will not be able to be paid, so officials divide There are also unspoken rules for job fields. The best lands are given to Shangguan, and these lands are handed over to local landlords, rich peasants and even powerful people for rent. This can ensure the rent income of job fields. The way to pad it is tantamount to ensuring the harvest in drought and flood.

"There is also this one, which is the [-] mu of land that His Highness the Crown Prince rewarded you earlier. I also helped you fix it. This is Yongyetian."

"This one is the Xuntian you won the Yunqi Weixun before, sixty acres."

"And this one, you are now from the eighth grade. The official Yongye farmland is [-] acres, minus your Yunqiwei's [-] acres, and there are [-] acres. Now there is no land in Guanzhong, especially in Gyeonggi. However, grants are usually granted to border townships, Qinzhou is quite good, if you want, I can handle these procedures for you right away."

Yongye was rewarded with [-] mu, and Xun and Guan Yongye's fields added up to [-] mu. This is another [-] mu, and it is still Yongye. Lu Huairang said he was asking for his opinion, but in fact it was all done for him.

The [-] mu of land in Weizhou is rented, and the [-] mu of permanent land in Qinzhou.

"If you are short of people to farm the [-] mu of land in Qinzhou, I can also help you rent it to a local big family and guarantee the rent. Also, didn't the prince reward you with slaves and maidservants before? What do you want? Do you want Qiang people, Turkic people, Tuyuhun Xianbei people, or others, do you want a couple or two male slaves or young maidservants?"

Lu Huairang's actions made it difficult for Huaiyu to refuse.Although I feel a little ashamed in my heart that Lu Huairang is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is a dignified son-in-law, and his background is so noble, why should he go through life and death again?If it were him, he would not want to go to the battlefield.As for grabbing the peaches, there is nothing to say, the rich and noble families already have such an advantage.

On the other hand, he managed the hospital battalion and managed the wounded soldiers together, which was actually pretty good.The two worked together before and got along very well, now that the other side is helping each other so much, Huaiyu has to thank the favor.

"Go, I'll take you to pick two suitable slaves."

Sima Lu Huairang, the capital governor of Qinzhou, enthusiastically dragged Weizhou Sima Wu Huaiyu to pick up slaves. He said he had a lot of good stuff.
