A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 263
Sure enough, Li Deju did not escape from Li Jing's palm.

Before Huaiyu and the others were about to set off, he was escorted to the Huaiyu military camp in Weibei. He was indeed escorted, and more than a dozen members of the Li family escorted him.

And it was Li Sanniang who led the detainees.

She was wearing a hunting suit, and she was heroic, still the same as when we first met.

"Sanniang dressed like this, is she going to Yanzhou too?" Huaiyu laughed.

"You have to call me Sister, you can call me Senior Sister, no matter how big or small." Li Sanniang is no stranger to Huaiyu, and she is joking with her acquaintance, and she pushes the sighing clan uncle Li Deju to Huaiyu In front of him, "According to my uncle's order, Erlang was successfully delivered, and now I leave it to you. If he runs away again, it is none of my business."

Chen Sheng stepped forward to salute, Li Deju only had a smile on his face when he saw him.

"The cow doesn't drink the water and presses its head forcibly. How can you do that?" Li Erlang sighed to his former playmate.

Huaiyu stepped forward and hugged the Second Young Master Li, "Welcome Li Changshi."

The job assigned to Li Deju is the history of the army commander of Yanzhou Town, and he is under the seventh rank.Li Deju has the title of three guards, and he is also the seventh rank, but the seventh rank of the three guards can only be regarded as a reserve officer, which is not related to other official positions.Li De awarded a person like Xianyun Yehe, who has been reluctant to formally become an official.

These three guards are paid for their jobs, and they usually want to be a ranger, travel the rivers and lakes, and make friends.

But since he became an official, with Li Jing's official status, the name of Li Danyang's house in Longxi, and Huaiyu's care, it is naturally impossible for him to start as a big soldier.

Shi, the commander of Yanzhou Town, was arranged to be Su Lie's assistant.

Mrs. Zhang was worried about Li Deju, so she asked Sanniang to send it to the barracks in person, and arranged twelve Li family songs as Li Deju's family soldiers.

Those were twelve cavalrymen who fought with Li Jing and had rich battle experience. Even if they were placed in the army, they could at least be the head of the team.

This is the confidence of the wealthy family. Not only did they buy three handsome war horses for Li De Award, but also three pack horses, and the other twelve veterans, including horses, lances, swords, bows, treasures, and treasures.

If it weren't for the fact that she was going to serve in the army, Mrs. Zhang would have arranged for coachmen, grooms, book boys, long attendants, and even maids and concubines to accompany her.

The accompanying items that were full of two carriages were staggering.

"I have delivered the person and completed the errand, so I will go home," Li Sanniang smiled and said goodbye, not forgetting to tell the second uncle that he should work in the army with peace of mind, and strive to make contributions in Shuofang and make his family famous.

"It's a pity that I'm not a man, or I would have joined the army for my second uncle."

After finishing speaking, Li Sanniang got on the horse happily, turned the horse's head and returned to Chang'an with the maidservant, leaving behind Li Dezheng looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a sad face.

Huaiyu couldn't understand this guy.

He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, but Li Deju still ignored him.

"Abbot Lou Guan Qihui, in terms of seniority, he is my nephew,"

Li Deju's haughty head immediately lowered, he crossed his hands at Wu Huaiyu with an unnatural expression, and then bent down, "Li Deju, a famous disciple of Louguan, pays his respects to his uncle and master."

Huaiyu reached out and patted the guy on the shoulder, "Well, after entering the barracks, the only thing left is the superior, Li Changshi."

"Yes, Martial Envoy."

Although Li Deju didn't think much of a governor, but since he worshiped Qihui, the abbot of Louguan, as his teacher, he didn't dare to be rude to his master's uncle.

What's more, although Wu Huaiyu has never been to Louguan, but he has a very high status in Louguan now. Master Huaiyu is greatly respected by Louguan, so naturally he also respects Huaiyu very much.

During the New Year's Eve, Qihui would specially send someone from Louguan to Beijing to give gifts to Huaiyu. Qihui himself has the official rank of the third-rank doctor Jinzi Guanglu, but he dare not despise Huaiyu, the junior uncle of the fifth rank. .

Wu Huai Yudan is very good, and he is favored by saints.

Lou Guan also wanted to get the true teaching of Taoism left by Xiaoyaozi from Huaiyu, and he was very yearning for the legendary book on the origin and flow of Qi body.

Although Li Jing, the father of Huaiyu's merit award, is his teacher, he has to be called senior brother from here, but the identity of the uncle of Huaiyulou Guanshi is also a real deal.

With great reluctance, Li Deju was led into the barracks by Huaiyu's arm. From then on, the unrestrained second son Li became the commander of Yanzhou Town, and was put on a bridle.

He was introduced to Yanzhou governor Shi Weisiren, Yanzhou Sima inspector Yanzhou town soldier Su Lie, Yanzhou Wuyuan county magistrate Zhang Chengde, Yanzhou prefectural military commander Niu Jianwu, etc. Li Deju was still listless.

After a brief meeting, Huaiyu asked everyone to disperse, leaving behind Li Deju and Chen Sheng.

"Erlang is not very interested in military affairs."

"It's boring to fight and kill." Li De praised.

"I heard that Erlang likes Jianghu, what is Jianghu in Erlang's eyes?"

"The world is full of heroes and knights." Li De praised.

Huaiyu shook his head, "It seems that Erlang's world is quite simple. In my opinion, the world is not only about heroes and knights, but also warriors, green forests, reckless thieves, and even street thugs, gamblers, wandering doctors, etc. Divinators, street peddlers, smugglers, green forest heroes, etc., can all be called people in the world.

What is arena?

Dissociated from the mainstream, can be called the arena.

Where there are people, there are Jianghu, and Jianghu is not about fighting and killing. Erlang was born in a famous family, has a noble status, and spends money like water on weekdays. Naturally, there are many people who agree, but eating, drinking, drinking, and being called brothers is not the real Jianghu.

The rivers and lakes are sinister and full of grievances and hatred. In those corners, those who are struggling in the secular world are the people of the rivers and lakes. "

Li Deju was surprised by Huaiyu's view of the world, but he did not agree with it. Everyone is in a different position and sees a different world.

Mr. Li's arena is different from Wu Huaiyu's and Chen Sheng's.

He is a young master, so many of the so-called heroes and knight-errants he befriended were in fact arty, or they just took the opportunity to make friends.

Back then, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Chai Shao and the others also joined the ranger circle in Chang'an, and they were also known as Chang'an Young Heroes, but they were at best young men, the children of honored relatives and aristocrats.

"Erlang, I have an opportunity here to let you get in touch with the real world. If you want, you don't have to stay in the military camp you don't like, and you don't have to accept fighting on the battlefield you don't like."

Li Deju came interested.

"I'd like to give you an errand, if you'd like,"

Huaiyu proposed to let Li Deju travel the rivers and lakes, using his previous network of rivers and lakes to contact the heroes of the rivers and lakes along the road from Chang'an to Yanzhou.

Even those green forest thieves and bandits also contacted those local tyrants and border army rangers.

"What is Erlang going to do?" Li Deju was surprised after hearing this.

"Although the rivers and lakes are far away from the temple, they must be supervised by the court and cannot be allowed to be free." Huaiyu did not hide his plan to recruit some people from the rivers and lakes, whether they were rangers or rogues or bandits, and let them be used by the court.

Those who want to wash their hands in the golden basin can go directly down the mountain to enter the military camp, or work in the yamen, or they can continue to maintain their original status, but they need to be under the jurisdiction of the court, accept the dispatch of the court or serve as the ear of the court.

"The rivers and lakes are dangerous. There are many people who commit crimes. They rob, kidnap, extort, murder, and set fire to others. Many people do harm to one side. We want to clean them up. Erlang, you can be ordered to travel the rivers and lakes, inquire about news, investigate the enemy's situation, contact righteous men and heroes, and assist the court to destroy them."

Hearing this, Li Deju became interested. He was not interested in going to the border to join the army and fight, but he would be interested in holding swords in the rivers and lakes and fighting for justice.

"Walking in the rivers and lakes, you can not only wipe out bandits and thieves, but also investigate corrupt officials, bullies and evil gentry, collect evidence, and then bring them to justice, and give the people a bright future."

"This is good," Li Dezhen applauded, clapping his legs.

He felt that he was very suitable for this.

"You really want to?"

"Yes, very much."

"Well, from now on, you will be the second head of our six-door Shuofang Division, and I will give you the code name of Bullfighting."

Flying fish are not fish, and pit bulls are not bulls.

Flying fish is a strange beast with a fish tail similar to a python, a dragon-shaped fish tail with two legs and four claws, and a fighting bull is a strange beast similar to a horned dragon with a pair of curved horns.

Now the two chiefs under his command, Feiyu Chen Sheng, are now in charge of selecting prisoners from among the prisoners, and then placing them next to the battalion officer to monitor and train them.

The bullfighting Li De Award will be responsible for traveling the rivers and lakes, contacting friends, recruiting heroes from the green forest, besieging villains and thieves, and collecting information on corrupt officials and bullies.

Let them develop their own offline.

There are no too many requests for the time being, so take your time.

Li Deju was very happy with this task, and he didn't care that the principal was only from the eighth rank. He was glad that he didn't have to do things he didn't like, and he could walk the rivers and lakes with another identity.

Everything has been prepared almost, and it is scheduled to start on the second day of February when the dragon raises its head.

Two days before departure, Huaiyu returned to Chang'an first.

Pulling a cart full of gifts, I went to visit various houses that I knew well, and went to inspect my own property, and made some arrangements.

At night, through the small window, chatting with Fan Xianji.Huaiyu was very reluctant to part with him, but now Fan Xuanfu was focused on the child in his belly, but he didn't feel any reluctance for Huaiyu's departure.

"Jiu Niang has it too."

Xuanfu told Huaiyu while eating pickled cucumbers.

Jiuniang Fan Yuzi, small character King Kong, is actually tall and slender, with an oval face, not only good at swords, but also very good at polo.

Perhaps it was because they stopped playing polo and practicing martial arts, Fan Jiuniang actually won the lottery and became pregnant before Huaiyu was about to leave Beijing.

Wu Huaiyu's fifth pregnant wife and concubine, he feels that he is quite powerful.

"You go to Yanzhou, take Wu Niang and Shi San Niang with you, and Jianyi and the other 24 sword maids. They can serve you and protect your safety."

Officials who take office in other places can bring their families with them. For example, when a samurai Xun went to Liangzhou, he took his wife and daughter with him. several.

Therefore, many officials, now that they are older, simply take their sons who are a year or two older, and then bring concubines, or simply take concubines locally.

"Yanzhou has not been recovered yet, and it is not peaceful. There will be a war at any time, so I don't take them there,"

"Then you have to have someone by your side. If you go to Yanzhou to buy concubines and maidservants, it's not as good as the ones at home. You can take a few, and you can also bring Rouge. If you have other favorites, you can take them with you. Don't you like Hu Ji, Jialeban is now Persian Sasanian, Fushi Byzantine, Frank, Visigothic, Avar, etc., or Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms in the Western Regions, or Gaochang, Kucha, which one do you like? Orchid choose which one,

If you like Silla maidservants, there are about a dozen of them in our family, so you can bring them along. "

Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My lady, I'm going to take back the frontiers and serve as an official to fight a war. What do you think I'm going to do?"

"Being an official and fighting a war has nothing to do with it. When Erlang is away, he should hurry up and give birth to more children for our family. The family is prosperous, and the first line of work must be prosperous. Look at the old patriarch. He is over 70 years old and 30 years old. You have many sons, and you are still taking concubines to have children, you should learn more."

Huaiyu laughed loudly,
"You're still laughing, but you have to be careful and hurry up." Fan Xuanfu patted his belly and confessed to Huaiyu, "You sow more seeds, our son will have more helpers in the future. Even if you have a daughter, you can marry Getting married."

Huaiyu felt that Fan Xuanfu regarded the children born to his concubines as pure tools, and he might even look at it from the perspective of the Wu family's property, as if the family's cattle and horses gave birth to cubs, increasing their value and making money.

This kind of thinking is very common nowadays. In a big family, the only ones who can really compete are the few sons born by the wife, but under normal circumstances, the eldest son cannot be challenged by other descendants.

Under the strict patriarchal system, the status of the eldest son is just like that of the first wife, unchallenged. This is even more stable than the crown prince's position as the heir apparent. After all, the prince may be rebelled by other princes to pick him off.

But in a noble family, whose second son has the ability to directly seize the heir by force?

The other sons who are really capable, if they can make contributions and make a career, and the official title exceeds that of the eldest son, they usually set up a separate family, and there is no such thing as robbing the eldest son's position as the eldest son, or snatching the family business.

"My lady, I'm leaving Beijing in two days, and I don't know when I'll be back. I'll go to your house tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Xuanfu directly closed the small window, and then a word came, "No, it's getting late, Ah Lang should go back and rest early, I'm sleepy, so I'll go back first."

Huaiyu looked at the closed small window and sighed helplessly. How could this woman have changed after she became pregnant? If it wasn't for the Tang Dynasty, Wu Huaiyu would even wonder if she had empathized with someone else.

Go back to your main room.

As soon as Jian came over, "Ah Lang, which lady should I inform to serve?"

Huaiyu was not in the slightest mood, waved his hand, wash up and sleep.

Jian Yi helped him change his clothes and wash his clothes, and at the same time reported on the situation at home. The fact that Samurai Ke wanted to redeem Chu Chu, a girl from Pingkangfang's brothel, was something that happened.

Because the ransom is 180 guan, which is still a lot of money, Lao Wu's salary and rewards are all managed by the Wu Liu family, and he usually has a little pocket money.

He couldn't take out so much, and Chuchu was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to come back to ask Wu Liushi for the money.

Wu Liu's family can accept Lao Wu's concubines, and even accept concubines from the Yang family, but they don't want him to redeem prostitutes in brothels, which are so expensive.

Is it inlaid with gold, 180 guan?

Converted into copper coins, they all weigh more than 1000 catties.

Eighteen can easily accept a 180-year-old girl from a good family, isn't it better than a brothel girl? [-] guan, you can accept ten golden girls from good families.

Mrs. Wu Liu refused to pay, so Mrs. Wu went to Huaiyi to get the money, but Mrs. Huaiyi said that he had no money, and Mrs. Cheng was in charge of the money. Huaiyu, but Huaiyu wasn't at home, he hesitated and finally didn't have the nerve to talk to Huaiyu's woman.

Huaiyu chuckled a few times, Lao Wu is too old, and he can't stand the temptation of this green tea.

"Tomorrow you ask the monk and maidservant to take two hundred coins and send them to my aunt. If I, Aye, want to ask for money again, you will say that the money has been sent to the county lord."

Qian Huaiyu is willing to do it for Lao Wu, but the premise is that he can get Wu Liu's consent. Whether he can get Wu Liu's consent depends on his ability. Those who don't want to make trouble are restless.
