When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 408 The middle-aged man begins to appear: Paizhang
  Xuanhua Camp.

After Yao Gong returned, Xin Qu still needed to collect supplies in Yanqing and could not leave Yanqing County Government for the time being.

But all the forces below have begun to operate.

The middle-aged man of the Xin family who had been silent before officially began to appear.

Yao Gong was accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked fierce and had insect bite marks on his face.

If you look closely, his skin is dull and rough, his eyes are cold and mean, and he has a cunning aura. He is dressed simply, and his gray cloth clothes are covered with dirt marks and blood stains, making people afraid to offend him easily.

Even Yao Gong, who was standing next to him, felt uncomfortable when his gaze swept over him.

"Pao Zhang, what's the problem?"

Yao Gong coughed lightly. He had known his father-in-law for a long time.

Paizhang was a child picked up in the grass during the early tribal migration. We don't know where the tribe's bloodline comes from, but he was picked up and raised by an orphaned man named Zhang in the tribe.

After all, Zhang's son died of illness at that time, and he was heartbroken when he saw the boy who was still alive. Without thinking, he drove away the insects and snakes for him, as well as the bears that were wandering around waiting for the boy to die and prepare to eat the carrion.

Yao Gong was only three years old at the time. When he saw his father-in-law, many people in the clan said that his father-in-law would not survive.

Zhang took his father-in-law to seek help from the old witch, and finally survived under the old witch's medical skills.

The two later met several times and hunted together.

But unfortunately, family differences caused the father-in-law to leave with the old witch, and Yao Gong became one of the elders among the Yao clan.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering if you have a chance to be promoted to a scholar-official."

Paizhang's voice was a little clear, which didn't match the ferocious face that was covered with traces of insect bites since childhood.

Yao Gong frowned when he heard this: "What? Do you think it's impossible for me?"

Paizhang chuckled.

"Smiling!" Yao Gong looked ugly, "This time my opponent is the Yourong clan. I have been with the Yourong clan for more than ten years and I know more than you!"

"Yes." Paizhang responded, "I heard from you that the clan leader said that after taking the land of Wei, we will open up Yu County. Then you can become an official."

"It must be me! Otherwise, it depends on you? Don't you know that Shanxi places more emphasis on blood?"

Yao Gong could hear the jealousy inside and felt a little happy.

"Well, they are indeed a bunch of guys who look down on others. You are more suitable to greet them because you are like a dog."

"You!" Yao Gong looked ugly and wanted to get angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Because the father-in-law is not the guy who could beat and scold him before without fighting back.

Even though he is just a sergeant now, standing behind him is one of the few middle-aged people from the Xin family.

Unexpectedly, behind these middle-aged people, there is one person - Shu Dagu who has not returned from the south.

Xin Qu arranged for Shu Dagu to be sent out, but he was busy making preparations for the Western Expedition. Why did he release all these middle-aged men who had lived in Juyongguan for a long time to serve as deputies to Yao Gong and other army commanders?
  Isn't it just to promote them and let them take charge of their own affairs and fully enjoy the release of their own power?

At that time, even if Shu Dagu comes back, he will have to recognize the achievements of these brothers and subordinates.

If Shu Dagu comes back and takes it as his own, then Xinqu can happily applaud.

He doesn't have to worry about these middle-aged men getting into a ball and clinging to Shu Dagu, and he can feel at ease.

In short, there is still an emotional relationship between the common people of the Xin family and the nobles of the Changxin family between Paizhang and Yao Gong.

Unlike Xin Qu and others who had never known that there was such a relative in the west since they were young, the betrayal was unforgettable and the impact is still lingering.

When the two of them talk, it's basically tit-for-tat, yin and yang to each other.

But Yao Gong is a "noble", he has his own reserve and pride.

Therefore, in the few exchanges between the two of them, they were always very angry.

"Just wait! Even if I don't rely on surrender, I can still move forward on my own. As for you... after so many years, you don't necessarily have any progress."

Yao Gong was contemptuous of one or two. He knew that Xin Qu had the etiquette related to the title, and he would dress as he should. However, a dignified sergeant actually wore blood-stained robes and still smelled of it. To this day If you don’t clean it up, what a shame!
  But the father-in-law didn't think so.

Although the clan provided him with a robe, his difficult life in his early years had made him accustomed to wearing it as long as he could.

This is also why Xin Qu arranged for his father-in-law to be Yao Gong's deputy. He was worried that Yao Gong's character would easily get out of control. Although he was not as good as his two cousins ​​Yao He, when Yao Gong became ridiculous, Xin Qu couldn't stop him. .

So, the appearance of Yanzhang was the only difference between Xin Qu and Xin Qu. After all, the merger of the Xin family and the Chang Xin family was a merger of force. In the final analysis, it was the victory of the Xin family.

The father-in-law can still use coercion. Even if Yao Cong doesn't want to listen, he still has to consider the political impact.

This is the balance of interests of the nobility.

"Lord, the pain is outside the camp."

Yao Gong was pulled back and looked in the direction pointed by the bodyguard, with a strange expression on his face: "She never left?"

"I guess so." The guard nodded slightly. “Let’s go and meet her.”

Yao Gong nodded. He now has Xin Qu's appointment and related documents in hand, and he is not afraid of anything strange here.

Soon, Yao Gong arrived at the camp where Tiao Ku was located.

She has been camping here for several days, waiting for a response from Yao Gong or Xin Qu.

Lai's and Xuanhua's territories were only separated by a river.

It’s also convenient to get around.

So Tiao Ku was in no hurry to go back.

Finally, when he saw Yao Cong, Tiao Ku, with a big belly, hurriedly greeted Yao Cong beside the chariot.

Yao Gong got off the carriage through the horse stool.

The man next to him jumped down, stirring up smoke and dust.

"Ahem... I said you can't be more solemn?"

"Your road is not well built, and it hasn't been hammered yet." Paizhang glanced at Yao Gong with disdain, then stamped his feet, and there was another layer of smoke, "The roads that are not hammered are closer to the camp. In this place, water must be sprinkled every day to prevent smoke and dust from spreading and damaging the roadbed. You are too fooling around."

"You... OK! What you said makes sense! But, this is a battalion level, a military camp! Not a county... Forget it, I won't argue with you." Yao Gong was disturbed and didn't have much intention to talk. , casually handed the letter of appointment given by Xin Qu to Tiao Ku, who smiled stiffly.

"The clan leader said that the situation in the Lin tribe is unknown, and it is necessary for you to move south to the former residence of the Lin tribe to open up Lai's Township.

As for the issue of pedestrian winter raised by Guibu, the clan leader said that a birch forest camp will be opened in the birch forest area in the north of Linbu's current residence.

All the pedestrians in winter will move out, and the Lai family will have another hundred people. The number of households must remain at thirty-three or above.

As for the list, you make it yourself.

When Xuanhua is established as a town...your land will be converted into bamboo coins, taro or taro vermicelli..."

Yao Gong finished speaking like a cannonball, his face changed from a smile to a frown, and finally he reluctantly said: "The patriarch didn't say when he would arrive?"

"The patriarch didn't have time to come to Xuanhua. He went to Zhuolu."

Paizhang interrupted the topic and said: "So, you quickly arrange for the cultivated land to be measured for me, and then move south as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch up with the construction of the winter camp. This winter will be hard for you."

"This..." Tiao Ku looked at Yao Gong in confusion and asked him to introduce his father-in-law.

"Paizhang, sergeant, chief bookkeeper of Xuanhua County, serves as my deputy and helps organize the land, household registers, maps, etc. in and around Xuanhua County... In short, he was sent directly from the clan."

"It turns out to be the chief secretary, Mr. Zhang. I'm glad to meet you."

Tiao Ku quickly saluted.

"You're welcome. According to the rules of the clan, a township is half a level lower than a town. It's just that townships are more autonomous and more towns are under direct jurisdiction. In the future, small markets will also be under the supervision of towns. Therefore, this person said less, and the chief clerk also Be responsible for co-managing the small market.

Generally speaking, small markets only sell some items that are not suitable for long-term transportation and are relatively commonly used, such as red clay pots, some grains that are not durable for storage, bamboo hats, etc.

There are no markets in each township. You can only go to the nearby market to trade, or go to a big market, such as Yangyuan Market, Changping Market, Yuyang Market, and Luanping Market. The location of separate municipal administration.

I will conduct regular inspections at that time and be sure not to make any mistakes, otherwise the township chief will be dealt with.

The most serious case can be beheaded. "

Paizhang's eyes were cold, but his clear voice spoke words like a cold winter wind, which made Tiao Ku feel goosebumps rising and his hair standing on end.

"Ah haha... definitely, definitely."

"Well, let's talk about the rest. I'll go find a place to be the master's residence." The father-in-law didn't care whether Yao Gong wanted to stay or not, he bowed his hands and left.

"This guy!!!"

Yao Gong gritted his teeth angrily, and then comforted Tiao Ku: "Don't worry about it, he has such a bad character, and has been sinister since he was a child. But the patriarch asked me to give you a message alone: ​​Lin Bu is Lin Bu, Lai's family It's Lai, just follow the arrangements and farm and produce livestock with peace of mind.

In addition, Luan Zhi is very good. He also has many friends and is not lonely.

When Changping has its autumn harvest holiday, he will come looking for you. "

"Many...thank you." Tiao Kugan smiled and sent Yao Gong off before leaving.

I didn't get much discount, but a relocation order.

If you don't leave, Xin's troops will come over.

"I hope the compensation will be satisfactory."

Tiao Ku was a little tired and said to his left and right, "Let's go back."

She was pregnant, and after waiting for several days, her energy was really exhausted.
