Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 25 Cuihua feels sorry for the family property

"what--"

Li Huan looked at the scene that was gradually coming under control and couldn't help but yawned:
"Qu Bing, are there any omissions? Go back and have a sleep first, and then go and receive the families of these savages tomorrow."

Just as Huo Qubing was about to nod, Sima Qian, who had just left, suddenly walked over quickly and handed over his hand to report:

"Junhou, I heard the two men say that Lanhua and Qingping are still tied to the beams in the village."

"Huh?" Li Huan was stunned for a moment, trying to say something, but sleepiness hit him.

Li Gan next to him immediately clasped his fists and said, "Junhou, let me lead someone to rescue these two people?"

"Where is the scout army? Where is the scout army?"

Li Huan suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty!"

The scouts came running from a distance and bowed in obeisance: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Earlier you said there was a single-plank bridge twenty miles away. Has it been burned down?"

"Reporting to the Lord, I saw that all these savages were trapped in the mountain col, so I didn't burn the single-plank bridge."

Li Huan nodded and looked at Li Gan: "Okay, then you can go, but be careful and don't be careless. These people have lived in the mountains for generations and will always have some powerful means of self-protection."

When Li Gan heard this, his heart warmed up, and he clasped his fists with an excited smile on his face: "Don't worry, Lord, I will bring you back early tomorrow morning."

Li Huan yawned again and waved.

After watching Li Gan, Sima Qian and others go away, Li Huan asked Huo Qubing:
"Why don't you grab it? I thought you would take the initiative?"

"What's the point of some finishing work?" Huo Qubing said with pride: "A real man should go north to fight the Huns..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Stop, what do you call Junhou? Will these two words "Brother Huan" break your teeth?"

"Hehe!" Huo Qubing smiled cheerfully: "Brother Huan, I heard from uncle that your Majesty may attack the Huns in autumn. Will you go?"

Li Huan rolled his eyes: "You want me to take you there?"

"Can I?" Huo Qubing's longing eyes were like Cuihua's eyes when she wanted to give birth to a son for Li Huan.

Li Huan felt a chill running down his back: "Don't act like a spoiled brat. If you want to go, just ask your uncle to take you."

"My uncle refused to take me there." Huo Qubing was a little angry, as if he thought of some bad memories:
"But if you, Brother Huan, lead troops on an expedition, then my uncle won't be able to control you."

"Let's talk about it then." Li Huan really had no intention of conquering the Xiongnu in the north.

His strength is not in battle.

Well, you can’t say you follow your heart, right?
In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Liu Che half-squinted his eyes and listened to what an embroidered messenger was reporting.

"That night, he captured 820 slaves without any bloodshed. That night, he went deep into the mountains and forests overnight and moved out the people inside.

There are a total of more than 2000 people. Sima Qian suggested setting it as a county, and then moving [-] people from Anyang County to live together, so as to ensure stability. "

"Having the [-] troops stationed by Qubinger is the greatest stability." Liu Che waved his hands indifferently:

"Then what is Marquis Anyang's attitude towards Li Gan?"

The embroidered cloth messenger reported respectfully: "I have never accepted him as a disciple, but I have allowed Li Gan to stay with me."

"Other dignitaries, has anyone let their heirs pass away?"

A smile appeared on Liu Che's face.

"Reporting to your Majesty, no, Li Gan is the third son of Li Guang. He was not favored at home and was even ostracized, so he was selected to go to Anyang Marquis."

"Why did Li Guang devote all his attention to this?" Liu Che laughed nonchalantly: "During the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, if he had some brains, he wouldn't be unable to become a marquis now.

Okay, keep watching, and if anything happens, report it at any time.

However, you must not interfere with the affairs of the Marquis of Anyang, I value him very much.

Let Sima Qian stay there for a while and record everything clearly. "

"Here!"

The embroidered messenger shrouded in darkness calmly retreated...

"We should choose a village chief..." Sima Qian kept chattering: "But among these people, there is really no one suitable.

Are you really not going to write to Your Majesty to request immigration? "

Li Huan leaned on the wicker chair. He was now sitting on the empty platform of the newly built wooden building. He had a wide field of vision. He could see the palace maids who had deliberately exposed themselves with a glance.

This is a deliberate provocation, and it is also a compromise and recognition of fate. Everyone hopes that they can be favored by the king.

It seems that it is also the contagion of Cuihua. These ten maids all hope that they can give birth to a son for the prince.Sima Qian didn't dare to look at them because he knew very well that these were the women of the princes.

Even if it is not now, it will be in the future.

But inadvertently, after following Li Huan's gaze, he coughed in fright:
"Jun-junhou?"

"What do you think of Lanhua and Qingping?"

"A woman becomes the village chief?" Sima Qian shook his head: "I'm afraid not."

"The two of them were almost killed, and the people in these two villages have hatred in their hearts. I think they are the most suitable candidates."

The speaker was Li Gan.

He emphasized: "Junhou needs people who hate these two villages in order to manage them well."

Huo Qubing went to train troops now, so he naturally talked more.

Otherwise, when Huo Qubing was around, if he said one word, Huo Qubing would be laughed at ten times, and he could even be ridiculed in different ways.

"But, what if someone deliberately made things difficult?" Sima Qian traveled to many places, but he had never seen a woman as a village head.

Li Gan didn't care: "Whoever dares to make things difficult will be killed. Since ancient times, killing has been the best way to establish authority."

Li Huan suddenly felt that Li Gan's anger was quite strong. Could it be that it came from Li Guang?

He used to be an ardent fan of Flying General Li Guang, but he also knew that Li Guang had two big black spots.

One is to kill those who surrender, and the other is to kill Ba Lingwei.

Li Huanke didn't really care about these things.

As long as Huo Qubing's troops were stationed nearby, those people who came down the mountain would not dare to make any move.

"Just do what Li Gan said."

Sima Qian thought for a moment, then nodded and left.

Li Huan half-squinted his eyes and hummed a tune, while Cuihua waited on him to make tea.

When Huo Qubing comes back in the evening, he can bring back game meat.

The construction site in the distance is beginning to take shape.

The pile of fired bricks outside the brick kiln is quite spectacular.

In half a month at most, these relocated people can build their own houses.

The iron-making furnace designed according to Li Huan's requirements has already produced the first batch of molten iron.

The red hot molten iron, while baking and aching the human skin, flowed into the mold made by Li Huan.

One after another, the rough embryos of an iron plow began to appear.

The craftsmen, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately polished it with enthusiasm, put it on the plow, and started plowing the land.

So, the wasteland that had just been cleared of weeds and swept by a fire was quickly reclaimed, accompanied by the lowing of cattle and the excited shouts of craftsmen.

Most of the savages who still had resistance in their hearts could not remain reserved for long after discovering that the imperial court had such a magical plowing tool, so they all gathered around the craftsmen.

The craftsmen knew very well what Li Huan was thinking, so naturally no one would despise or humiliate these people who had just come down the mountain.

He even taught these people step by step how to operate the Quyuan Plow.

When eating, it's all a buffet at a big table.

Hundreds of large pots were filled with all kinds of fresh dishes. For tofu alone, ten large pots were made according to different methods.

This way of eating immediately made Cuihua feel sorry for her family property, which was really a waste.

Especially those savages, holding an earthen urn bigger than a human head.

After eating the first jar, I was still unsatisfied.

I ate the second jar.

Then someone went to fill the third jar.

Someone even went to fill the fourth jar.

This bottomless pit of food even shocked Li Huan.

Even Cuihua ignored the previous suspicion and found the oldest one among the palace ladies and began to discuss countermeasures...

Li Huan really didn't expect that Cuihua would reach a consensus with these love rivals Gong'e under such circumstances...

Thus, the check-in and attendance system was conceived in this way...
