A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 723: The Old Department of the Hospital Camp
Xuanyangfang,
Jin Guogongfu Zoo,
Early in the morning, the housekeeper ordered many servants to be busy. Alang was going to set up a table here to entertain some old friends today.

Wu Huaiyu slept in the courtyard of Princess Yang Muyun of Huainan last night. The princess said that she also wanted to have a daughter. She also said that it was the right time to sow the seeds last night. She plowed deeply and carefully for a long time. After sowing the seeds once, it was not enough, so she took a rest and pulled the seeds again. After sowing seeds again, I went to bed in the middle of the night.

When he woke up, Yang Muyun was still sleeping soundly, with a smile on his lips.

After rubbing her face, Wu Huaiyu stood up quietly without disturbing her dream.

When you are young, you have good physical strength and recover quickly. Last night, the old cow was almost exhausted from plowing the fields, but when he woke up from his sleep, he was full of energy again.

After getting dressed and leaving the room, the maid in Yang Muyun's house helped wash and change clothes. He asked the maid not to disturb Mr. Yang, and he went to the side room to see the fifteenth Lang Chengxing brought by the nanny. The little guy got up earlier and was covering the floor. Run, this little guy is over a year old in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Huaiyu coming, he giggled and ran towards him, shouting "yeah, yeah, yeah" and spreading his hands. Huaiyu picked him up and lifted him up high. The boy smiled even happier, the higher he lifted him, The louder you laugh, the bolder you are.

On the other hand, the nanny, wet nurse, and maidservant were watching very worriedly, for fear that something might go wrong. They were responsible for taking care of Shiroro every day, and they were very affectionate.

"Okay, son, you take your time and play."

Chengxing was still a little reluctant for him to leave. When the wet nurse came to pick him up, she even pursed her lips.

Although the Wu family has many children and many children to play with, the house is large and the wives and concubines each have their own homes. He thought that maybe he should select some children of similar age from the orphanage of the Wu family and give them to Chengxing and other children. Come with three or four companions.

Raised together since childhood and accompanying them as they grew up, these children who were born as orphans will eat, live, and even study together with the children of the Wu family, becoming their childhood companions, playmates when they were young, and helpers when they grow up.

Generally wealthy families also have this kind of operation, but usually some slaves who are born in the family will follow the young master since they were young, and they will be the personal attendants and maids who will become confidants in the future.

Of course, the Wu family also had many slaves and maids who gave birth to children, and such an arrangement was necessary, but he felt that by arranging some followers from the orphanage, they would still retain their status as husbands, and when they grow up in the future, they would not just be servants, but real partners. Even if there are outstanding ones, the Wu family can support and train them and become officials. For the children of the Wu family, it is also a help to them that their partners become talented.

Thinking of this, he planned to arrange four peers for each child, four for each of his sons and daughters.
There are many brothers, but these partners are also indispensable. Of course, we must also arrange to train several loyal domestic slaves, and we must choose older children.

After leaving Yang's courtyard, Huaiyu came to the front yard.

As soon as I came in, I saw a familiar figure.

"Xiangguo,"

"Get out of here, you motherfucker, you're so disrespectful," Huaiyu scolded, stepping forward and slapping the other person on the arm, "You bitch, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much."

Xin Zhao is much thicker and darker, with a thick waist and fat face, making him almost unrecognizable.

"Shuofang's mutton is so fat that it will make you fat."

Zhao Xin also smiled and said yes. He stayed in Shuofang for three years. Although he often wrote to Wu Huaiyu to say hello, he didn't see him for a long time.

He was still a little uneasy when he met Xiang Guo, but Wu Huaiyu scolded him, which made him feel relaxed.

"When you return to Chang'an this time, you don't have to go back to Shuofang." Huaiyu said with a smile, "I will arrange for you to go to Lingnan."

"Ah, Prime Minister Wu, what have you done wrong? You want to exile me to the wilderness," Xin Zhao pretended,
Huaiyu laughed loudly, "Don't worry, can I still lose you?"

Zhao Xin used to be a humble businessman from the east and west markets. He followed Wu Huaiyu to build Qianjintang. Later he followed Huaiyu to Longyou and became the backbone of the hospital camp. Later he followed him to Shuofang and took him to Liuzhou. door,
A few years have passed, and this guy is now a sixth-grade general in the Tongjunfu in Yinzhou. People say that there are people in the court who are easy to be officials. Zhao Xin has followed the right person and has made a lot of achievements. Naturally, his official career is still smooth. of.

It's a pity that he didn't catch up with the Northern Expedition. If he could follow Su Lie to Youzhou, he might have entered the fifth rank today.

Compared with civilian officials, the rank of military generals is relatively easy to rise. As long as there are battles, the rank can be promoted quickly, and there is no need to endure seniority.

"The imperial court will have to attack Lingnan and Nanzhong with both hands, and both hands must be strong. Originally, I decided to send Brother Fang to Nanzhong, so I considered transferring you to it."

"I will obey Erlang's arrangements," Xin Zhao said with a smile.

The mutton in Shuofang is indeed plump. The tall and thin Zhao Xin who used to run the east and west markets has disappeared. Now he seems to have turned into a strong man on the grassland, black and fat.

Huaiyu revealed the matter. The imperial court planned to station troops in Lingnan. The plan was to add tens of thousands of troops there in a few years. There would be six armies under the six governor's mansions, and [-] would be transferred from the Central Plains.There are also [-] naval patrols, [-] coastal patrols, and [-] Tongjun Mansion, [-]...
When so many soldiers are dispatched, of course, generals and officers must also be dispatched.

"Is this going to suppress the raccoon barbarians in Lingnan?" Zhao Xin was a little excited. The imperial court has been relatively restrained in Lingnan in recent years, and basically did not interfere with Lingnan. Those powerful chiefs and slang commanders who rebelled were all assigned to the local governor. They sent troops to quell it.

On the contrary, the imperial court still strictly controlled the land of Bashu, perhaps because Yizhou over there was a land of abundance. From Wude to Zhenguan, many generals such as Dou Gui and Cheng Yaojin guarded there, and they fought countless battles. , the beatings were fierce, and they slaughtered the tribes at every turn.

Tens of thousands of people from the defeated tribes were demoted as slaves.

During the Wude period, the imperial court actually fought many battles with the Qiang people in Longyou, and Chai Shao and others often fought with Tuyuhun and Dangxiang Qiang there.However, after the Zhenguan Dynasty, the imperial court got along well with the Dangxiang people, and many Dangxiang tribes were gradually recruited. The imperial court also established Jisi Prefecture County, and granted leaders the title of governor, governor, etc., and Tuyuhun did not dare to do anything random.

Previously, Huaiyu and the others had their hospital camp at Yanjing Village in Weizhou, so they started to sweep it away, so that the tribes behind them didn't dare to mess around.

"The Zhenjun under the Governor's Mansion, or the Zhechong Mansion, or the Naval Army, or the Inspection Department, you can go wherever you want. This time I will give you a step up. I will give you a grade five. First, change into a scarlet robe. "

Zhao Xin was very grateful, "Erlang, I have been in Shuofang for the past three years, and I have been able to get one liter a year. Now I am at the sixth level. I feel a little embarrassed."

Fifth grade is a big hurdle.
But now Wu Huaiyu can make him cross over with just one word. "Why are we talking about this?"

While they were talking, someone else came, but they were brothers Chen Xing and Chen Sheng. They were both Runniang's brothers. Chen Xing was the first to follow Huaiyu. He was originally the foreign steward of Li Jing's family who was in charge of purchasing. He followed Huaiyu to Longyou. Go to official career.Chen Sheng originally followed Li Dejiang, but later he also followed Huaiyu and entered six doors.

After the Liangshi capital was pacified, Chen Xing returned to Longyou, while Chen Sheng was at Liumen. They were all very happy to meet their old friends.
Speaking of the hospital camp back then, Chen Xing was very emotional. It seemed like a long time ago, but in fact it was only less than six years ago.

But now he is also in the sixth rank, and is a special general of Weizhou Pingle Tongjunfu. The same Pinglefu that Cheng Chumo originally worked for was also stationed in Zhang County on the other side of Yanjing Village.

It was a good place. There was a salt-producing village on the other side of the river, and Zhangxian County had nine salt roads leading to various places. Especially the trade with the Qiang people's salt, horse tea, silk slave medicine, was very prosperous.

Keeping Chen Xing there was originally to take care of everyone's share of the property.

It guards one of the three major salt fields in Longyou and has a prosperous border trade, which brings a lot of dividends every year to Wu Huai, Yu Cheng, Mo Doulu, Lu Huairang, Ma Zhou, Wu Junya and others. Of course, Chen Xing, Zhao Xin, Hou San and the others also make a lot of money.

Speaking of going to Lingnan, Chen Xing was happy, "There are also Wu Junwei and Xu Siye in Zhang County, so don't worry,"

Wu Junwei was one of the many sons of the clan leader, Warrior Leng. He was born as a bastard and had a low status. He followed him very hard in Longyou. Now he is the general of Hospital Town, not to mention Xu Siye, the father-son soldier of Miyuan Longqiao, Huaiyi. My companion, who also went to Longyou as a follower of Huaiyi and achieved meritorious service, went round and round and now became a soldier of Pingle Tongjun Mansion.

These two people did not return to Beijing this time and were still in Longyou.

"Let's go to the Leopard Room. I'll have people prepare good wine and food."

"It's early in the morning, and you're drinking?" Chen Sheng said with a smile.

"You can also have morning wine in the morning."

The Wu Family Zoo is a common name, and the official name is Leopard Room.In fact, Wu Huaiyu thinks the zoo is very good, but everyone thinks it is too ordinary.
Some people say it should be called Haw Leopard Square, others say it should be called Elephant Square, and still others say it should be called Eagle House.

Later Huaiyu named it Baofang, but no one knows the real reason for this name.

Of course, the leopard room does not only have leopards, but there are many leopards in the Wu Family Zoo, including golden leopards, black panthers, white leopards, and snow leopards. Of course, the main ones are golden leopards, also called Chinese leopards. They are subdivided into North China leopards, South China leopards, and Northeastern leopards.

As for the black panther and the white panther, they are actually variants.

Of course, there are ocelots, which are not actually leopards.

Among those lions, tigers, bears, leopards, eagles and dogs, it would be nice to set a table to entertain old friends, drink, eat and chat.

"Hahaha, you guys don't even wait for me to drink."

Before the person arrived, the voice came first, Cheng Chumo strode in with a loud voice, and beside him was the Prince Consort, Wanchun Prince Consort Doulu Huairang.

I haven't seen Cheng Chumo for a long time. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, but he is in good spirits.

Huaiyu stood up to greet him, "You guys are finally back again."

Cheng Chumo guarded the tomb of his mother Ding You for three years, a full 27 months, and now Xiaoman has come out. Another friend An Yuanshou is still in Liangzhou to guard his mother Ding You.

"Today our hospital camp brothers are reunited. We must not come back drunk." Huaiyu smiled and hugged everyone.

Soon, Fatty Wu Junya, Laohou Housan, Wu Junren and Wu Xizhe all came, and so did Ma Zhou.

Hospital Camp.

I think back then, Wu Huaiyu was the general manager of the hospital camp, Doulu Huairang was the long history, Ma Zhou was a member of the army, Wu Junwei Bing Cao joined the army, Zhao Xincang Cao joined the army, Chen Xing, Wu Junren, and Wu Xizhe all joined the military, and Wu Junbo, Hou San, and Liu Er were the leaders. They are all team leaders.

"Where's Huaiyi?

Wu Huaiyi also fought side by side with their hospital camp and was the general manager of the cavalry camp. Later he became the general of the Weiyuan Tongjunfu. Cheng Chumo was the commander of the Pingfu Tongjunfu.
"Isn't it because Huaiyi became the governor of Guangzhou and has no time to care about us?" Doulu Huairang joked.

"He will be here soon. Just now my brother-in-law said that the saint summoned him temporarily."

About half an hour later, Wu Huaiyi came and brought Wanda with him. Wanda was the third son and eldest son of Wang Hua, the Duke of Yue. When Huaiyu and the others were in Longyou, he was the magistrate of Longxi County and followed him. Cheng Chumo held on to the dangerous city and almost died.

Now he has become the Marquis of Yingchuan, a fifth-rank Wei governor.

"Dalang, you're late. You'll be fined three drinks," Cheng Chumo stood up and shouted at them, "County Magistrate Wang, you'll also be fined three drinks."

"Okay, we will punish ourselves with three cups." Wu Huaiyi looked at these brothers who fought together in Longyou and was very happy.

Wanda also came up without ceremony and drank three glasses of wine first.
"Brother Chu Mo, do you still remember the time in Longxi City? At that time, there were only a few hundred people left in the city who could fight. If you want to take three hundred brothers out of the city to fight to the death, I will personally beat the drum for you at the top of the city. Just when we are all determined to die,
He, Brother Qingyang, appeared on the other side of the river holding a hospital flag,"

Cheng Chu said silently, "Remember, I will never forget that scene in my life, so we will be good brothers for life."
