At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 70 Sizhou Trivia
The next day.

At sunset, Cheng De and his party arrived in Xuyi.

Cheng De didn't stop at Hongze on the way.

And Sizhou is just ahead.

Farther away, the sky and the earth seem to be connected together, and the setting sun is slowly sinking to the ground.

At the beginning of night, Sizhou has arrived.

Greeted by Li Shanchang, Lu Wuyong, Yang Zhongkai, He Jiusi, Wei Xiao and others, Cheng De and his party entered Sizhou City.

Afterwards, Cheng De led the army to the military barracks in the school field, and after instructing the soldiers of Sizhou to rest here, he hurried back to the general's mansion.

As for Li Shanchang, Lu Youbu and others, at this time, they wisely did not disturb Cheng De with business affairs.

And Cheng De had a rare spare time.

Outside the study of the General's Mansion, stood Luo Yan, Guo Hui, Ma Xiuying, Luo Gongfu, and Wang Shilin.

In the study, there are only Cheng De and Zhang Qijiu.

"Is everything settled in Haozhou?" Cheng De looked at Zhang Qijiu and said.

Zhang Qijiu didn't hesitate: "Over Haozhou, my subordinates have arranged for a trustworthy person to be in charge of the Qianhu Office temporarily. This person, my subordinates are about to report to the general."

Seeing Zhang Qijiu's serious expression, Cheng De rubbed the center of his brows to get rid of a little fatigue: "Is there any problem with this person?"

Zhang Qijiu nodded: "This person, my subordinates found out, has something to do with the general."

Cheng De was taken aback, "You said this person has something to do with me?"

"Yes, my subordinates also sent people to the village where he lived to inquire, and it is indeed related to the general. It stands to reason that the general should call him cousin." Zhang Qijiu did not hide anything.

Cheng De narrowed his eyes to Zhang Qijiu: "The responsibility of Jin Yiwei's thousand households is very important. However, I trust your vision. How is this person's character?"

Zhang Qijiu pondered for a while, and then replied: "He is filial, but has a ruthless personality."

Cheng De was startled, and was silent for a moment.

"Is there any relative in his family?" Cheng De shifted his gaze to his desk.

Zhang Qijiu lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said softly: "In his family, there is only one old woman and one younger sister. And his father was beaten to death by Yuan soldiers."

Cheng De looked calm, "Why was his father beaten to death by Yuan soldiers?"

"I heard that it was because the Yuan Bing fell in love with his sister, and his father tried his best to stop him, buying time for him, his mother, and his sister to escape. His father had practiced martial arts, but he stopped those Yuan soldiers. However, he was outnumbered and died in the end. Because those Yuan soldiers couldn't find them, they took his father's body to vent their anger, chopped it up and fed it to the dogs. And it was precisely because of this that his personality became ruthless. The point is conjectured by the subordinates." Zhang Qijiu looked a little unnatural.

Hearing this, Cheng De was stunned on the spot.

It didn't take long.

"What's his name? Also, where are the family members?" Cheng De's eyes were calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs.

"His name is Liu Junfeng. His family members are all in Zhongli. They were originally in Xuyi, and they fled all the way to Zhongli." Zhang Qijiu replied.

Cheng De was silent, got up, paced in the study, frowning.

"Replace Liu Junfeng, and Jinyiwei Qianhu in Haozhou will find another person. In addition, send Jinyiwei to Zhongli to bring all Liu Junfeng's family members to Sizhou City, so that the people below remember to treat them well Some, don't neglect them." Cheng De said suddenly.

Zhang Qijiu was startled, looked at Cheng De with doubts in his eyes, "General, this Liu Junfeng—"

Cheng De directly interrupted Zhang Qijiu, and said: "Liu Junfeng, I'm going to meet him. As for how to use him, I'll talk about it later. You ask Jin Yiwei to inform him and let him come to Sizhou quickly city."

"Yes." Zhang Qijiu replied.

"Go down and do your work first!" Cheng De waved his hand.

"This subordinate will leave." Zhang Qijiu lowered his head and bowed to retreat.

Zhang Qijiu came out of the study room, saluted Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan, and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan looked at each other, and entered the study together.

Guo Hui stood where she was, feeling a little lost in her heart.

Seeing Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan coming in together, Cheng Deqiang cheered up, looked at them and said, "What do you want from me?"

"General!" Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan said in unison.

Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan were startled and looked at each other.

"Let's talk about it first!" Ma Xiuying said.

"Let's talk about it first!" Luo Yan said.

Seeing that the two were talking together again, Cheng De suddenly had a headache, and said helplessly, "Luo Yan, you go first."

"General, is this concubine here to ask the general when he will marry his sister into the mansion?" Luo Yan looked at Cheng De and asked.

Cheng De looked at the smile on Luo Yan's face, and sighed softly, "I've wronged you for letting Miss Xiuying be my first wife."

"As long as I can stay by the general's side, even if I don't have any status, I'm willing to be a concubine." Luo Yan said gracefully.

Ma Xiuying opened her mouth and fell silent.

"I hope you will get along well in the future. As for when to marry sister Xiuying and Yan'er, let Li Shanchang and Lu not have to choose two auspicious days for them. Marry sister Xiuying first, and then marry Yan'er after a while Anyway, you are all my Cheng De's women, and the general's mansion will depend on you two in the future." Cheng De said seriously.

"Yes." Ma Xiuying and Luo Yan responded in unison.

Seeing Ma Xiuying bowing her head shyly, and seeing Luo Yan's red ears, Cheng De smiled.

With these two women, he was already very content.

"Sister Xiuying, go back and have a good rest. I still have something to ask Yan'er." Cheng De looked at Ma Xiuying and said gently.

"Yes." Ma Xiuying replied softly.

After leaving the study, Ma Xiuying took Guo Hui back to her resting room.

At this time, only Luo Yan and Cheng De were left in the study.

"Yan'er, you have worked hard these days." Cheng De showed guilt on his face.

"General, I don't work hard, I can help the general, it's too late for me to be happy!" Luo Yan said with a smile.

Cheng De grabbed Luo Yan's hand and said, "Tonight, I'll go back to your room to sleep."

Luo Yan was taken aback, her face flushed, "...um."

"It's getting late, you go to the room and wait, and I'll go to you after I've dealt with the matter." Cheng De smiled.

"Concubine. Resign." Luo Yan blushed and left the study.

"Wei Luofu and Wang Shilin, come in!" Cheng De said.

These two people were specially called by Cheng De.

Wei Luofu and Wang Shilin followed suit.

"My subordinates pay respects to the general!" Wei Luofu and Wang Shilin bowed and saluted.

Seeing the calm appearance of the two, Cheng De looked at them with satisfaction: "You have worked hard these days, and I believe you have gained a lot."

"Subordinates are responsible, so I dare not talk about hard work." The two hurriedly said with their heads bowed.

Seeing this, Cheng De didn't say much, but remained silent for a while.

"Do you know why I called you over?" Cheng De said to Wei Luofu and Wang Shilin.

"This subordinate doesn't know." The two of them shook their heads with puzzled eyes.

"I intend to train the two of you. When one comes to Sizhou City, you will work under him." Cheng De said.

Looking at the puzzled faces of Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin, Cheng De added: "Luo Guanzhong, the director of the Sizhou Propaganda Department, is a great talent, but he should be on his way now. I want to tell you What’s more, I only entrust this Sizhou Propaganda Department to people I can trust. And you are the people I trust the most. I hope you will remember a few points.”

Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin showed excited expressions on their faces, and they turned their eyes to Cheng De one after another, waiting for the next sentence.

"First, this Sizhou Propaganda Department, you must cooperate with Luo Guanzhong. But remember, everything he does must be recorded in detail and handed over to me."

Seeing Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin nodding, Cheng De continued: "Second, the main purpose of the Sizhou Propaganda Department is to let the Sizhou army understand that food, military pay and other supplies are given to them. I, Cheng De, let them understand that I am their only object of allegiance. Wherever I point, they will fight. This is especially important!"

Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin realized the importance of this matter, and they patted their chests and said: "General, please rest assured, the two of us will definitely complete it with all our heart."

"Thirdly, the Sizhou Propaganda Department has another duty, which is to teach the generals of the ten household heads and above in the Sizhou Army to read. The two of you will assist Luo Guanzhong in this matter. When he arrives, I will talk to him. He explained it in detail." Cheng De looked at Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin and said.

"The last point—" Cheng De paused for a long time, while Luo Gongfu and Luo Gongfu held their breaths and concentrated.

"Sizhou Propaganda Department, we need to make up more stories and send people to tell the people under the Sizhou Army. We must let the people understand that only our Sizhou Army is the only army that can give them hope in life. Only I, Cheng De Only in order to let them live and work in peace and contentment, I will talk about this with you after Luo Guanzhong arrives. Telling you now is to make you all prepare in your heart." Cheng De said slowly.

"Yes, what the general said, we both wrote it down." Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin said.

"This thing has to be done, but this book must also be read. Don't waste your studies. Song Lian is in Sizhou College. If you have any doubts about learning, you can ask Song Lian for advice. Or you can also ask Luo Guanzhong for advice. They all He is a great talent." Cheng De stared at Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin and warned.

"Yes." The two said in unison.

"Luo Gongfu, have you finished writing the book silently before?" Cheng De looked at Luo Gongfu, his eyes full of expectation.

"Reporting to the general, my subordinates have finished silently writing "Historical Records" and "Han Feizi". These have been bound into a book, and I will send them later." Luo Gongfu replied.

Cheng De walked up to Luo Gongfu, patted Luo Gongfu on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job! As for the book, it's the same as sending it tomorrow. Tell me what reward you want!"

Luo Gongfu heard the words, pondered for a while, and then said: "I hope the general can build a bookstore in the general's mansion, so that the subordinates can read the books in it at any time. I heard that the general has taken Huai'an Road. There are probably a lot of books on Huai'an Road, which may be used to enrich the General's Mansion."

Cheng De's face froze, "I agree to your request. In addition, I will reward you with ten taels of silver. Also, you will be responsible for the book pavilion. I will write to Li Sanqi and ask him to collect it on Huai'an Road. Collect the books, and then send someone to transport them back to Sizhou City. Moreover, Sizhou College also needs a library, and when the time comes, someone will copy a copy and send it to Sizhou College."

"Thank you, General. This subordinate must be in charge of Haoshuge. The general's heart is Sizhou College, which is the blessing of Sizhou College's students!" Luo Gongfu laughed.

Cheng De said with a smile: "It's late at night, you two go down and rest!"

"Yes." Luo Gongfu and Wang Shilin replied.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Cheng De hastily closed the door of the study and hurried towards Luo Yan's house.

The next day, Cheng De felt refreshed, and his recent fatigue disappeared without a trace.
