ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 127 "The Morning of Burning Willow Villa" (2)
"So that's the case." Ah Zhen nodded, it turned out that the Hussar General is the commander-in-chief of the south.But he asked curiously: "Then if I ask him to draw troops, will he ignore me?" He is also among the three men, so I don't know if Wang Yong will ignore him. If not, he will go to the south of the Yangtze River. Don't make fun of your trip.

"This..." Liu Wanyang was dumbfounded when he saw his question, never thought that he was so ignorant, sighed and said: "Although this Hussar general belongs to the third rank, he is a second-rank military general. , the little brother is the great Sima, and Wang Yong will not dare to disobey if he wants to send his soldiers and horses."

It turns out that Lao Tzu is still one level older than him?Immediately he became curious and asked Liu Wanyang: "Then, who is bigger, my big Sima or your Taiwei?"

His question immediately stunned everyone. Seeing that everyone was at a loss, he couldn't help staring at Liu Wanyang suspiciously.

Liu Wanyang was a little scared by him, and said weakly: "Here, the emperor has no clear order, and I don't know who is bigger with my little brother."

When he said this, Ah Zhen immediately exclaimed: "I'll go, why is there still an official position in this big week that people don't understand?"

Hearing his strange language, the two princesses stepped forward and explained to him: "The Great Sima doesn't know something. The position of the Great Sima has not been used for more than 300 years. Today's title of Taiwei is the former official position of the Great Sima. In addition to leading the army, the current Taiwei is also responsible for many border affairs. The emperor's father did not have a clear order to appoint the chief minister, so it's no wonder that the Taiwei doesn't know who you are older than him." The explanation of the seventh princess immediately shocked Ah Zhen. Mosai suddenly understood, so it was.

The old man of the emperor gave him a position that was useless 300 years ago. There must be some kind of conspiracy. I'm upset, if he is older than the Taiwei, the officials will definitely rebel, but he is afraid that his position is too low and he will not be the chief minister, so he didn't make a clear order.This old man is very scheming.

After thinking about it, Ah Zhen nodded and understood everything.

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Liu Wanyang said, "The generals just now are just one of the many forbidden generals of the second and third ranks."

When he said this, Ah Zhen's head jumped. Those generals who marched from southeast to northwest just now were just one of many, so how many are there?
Seeing him surprised, Liu Wanyang paused and continued: "In addition to Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi, and Zhenbei generals, there are also Dongduhu, Nanduhu, Xiduhu, Beiduhu, Pingdong, Pingnan, and other generals. Pingxi, Pingbei, Zhenglu, Pinglu, Huya, Duliao, Henghai, Pingkou, etc." He read a lot of generals in one breath, and after a pause, he finally said: "There are 39 ranks and above. General."

I rely on!When he said this, Ah Zhen jumped his feet, and he was sweating coldly, but now his face was pale, and there were 39 people above the second and third ranks.How many soldiers are there this week?

Everyone saw that his face turned pale, and they didn't dare to say anything. It was a long time before they saw him wriggling his mouth and asking: "How many soldiers and horses are there in this Great Zhou?"

"As of last month, there were 240 million officers, soldiers and pawns in our Great Zhou Dynasty." Liu Wanyang, the captain, knew the statistics of various states and counties by heart.

Hearing what he said, Ah Zhen murmured suspiciously: "Why is Da Zhou densely populated with only over 200 million people?"

Liu Fengyang listened to Brother Zhen's words and came over and replied: "Brother Zhen, these are only soldiers on active duty. If you look at the recruitment list in the imperial court during a war, you will have to find at least five times as much by then."

When Liu Fengyang said this, Ah Zhen also nodded, why do you need so many soldiers in the Taiping Year?On TV in the 21st century, he has seen these ancient war dramas, and forced conscription is to catch strong men everywhere.Thinking of this, he couldn't help being curious, "Feng Yang, is this conscription going around to catch strong men to fight?"

"Brother Zhen, now that the conscription money is abundant, there is no need to go everywhere to arrest strong men, and when the war broke out, the people on the border were displaced, and their homes were poor and trampled on. Since the imperial court announced the settlement system for soldiers' families, this conscription is a crowded event. Forced conquest." Liu Fengyang said with a smile, Liu Wanyang and the princesses were all nodding beside him, only Wan'er bowed her head and her face was full of sadness.She has experienced the pain of homelessness, and if she could, she would not wish that there would be wars everywhere, dead bodies everywhere, parents losing their sons, and children losing their fathers.How sad this is.

Wan'er was in a low mood, and Ah Zhen immediately felt the sympathy with her.

"Wan'er" Ah Zhen walked up to her, gently held her little hand and called out.

Wan'er was originally listening to the conversation quietly, but when she heard her husband calling out, she was held by her hand, and raised her watery eyes to gaze at him affectionately.

"I haven't slept since last night? Tired and hungry." He said with a smile.

When Wan'er heard this, all the sadness in her heart dissipated and exclaimed: "Whatever husband wants to eat, Wan'er will do it immediately."

Ah Zhen felt her sadness fly away, tightly held her tender little hand and said, "No need, just tell the servants to get it done."

When he said this, Liu Fengyang and his group's stomachs started to growl. They were disturbed by those generals all night, and they haven't eaten a single drop of rice until now.

The steward next to him listened to Zhenye's words, and asked cleverly: "My lords, madams, princesses, young masters, and misses, this old slave has arranged meals in the inner hall, and I invite you to eat in the inner hall." The steward is extremely respectful Bow down to invite.

"Okay, let's go, let's eat." Hearing what the manager said, Ah Zhen immediately smiled, holding Qianyun in one hand and Wan'er in the other, and walked towards the inner hall without even waiting for the princess. Seeing their husband in public, the two wives didn't shy away from it. Although they were extremely ashamed, they were as sweet as honey in their hearts.

In the morning of Burning Willow Villa, the white snow was still floating, but everyone at the dining table in the inner hall was chatting and laughing loudly. It turned out that the formality of the two princesses disappeared under Ah Zhen's ridicule.Seeing that the two princesses are so amiable, everyone let go of their hands immediately.Qin Yu and Qin Xiang had never had a meal like this before, they were not allowed to talk when eating in the palace, seeing them chatting while eating without any pretension, it was a lot of fun.Immediately, I felt a deep admiration for them, there are many rules in the palace, every walk and stop are all polite, how can they be so comfortable like them.Although the two of them felt strange, they felt extremely happy. Although they didn't strike up a conversation, it was even more joyful to listen to everyone chatting with Da Sima. There is no shying away from what can be said, thought-provoking words, and street dirty words, which are sometimes laughable, sometimes contemplative, and sometimes shameful.

"Feng Yang, what is your ideal?" Ah Zhen swallowed the meat in his mouth and looked up.

Liu Fengyang was stunned when he heard Brother Zhen's question and said, "Ideal? Well, earn all the money in the world."

At this point, all the female relatives covered their mouths and chuckled, Ah Zhen said with a face full of disdain: "Feng Yang, why do you earn so much money? Can you spend it all?"

"I don't know. When I was very young, everyone taught me to make money. When I grow up, I will only make money." Liu Fengyang didn't lift his head and gnawed on his pig bone. He didn't understand why he made so much money. .

Ah Zhen was dumbfounded by what he said, and there are still people who don't know what to do to make money.

Yang Yang next to him answered for his second brother: "Brother Zhen, the second brother was taught to be a businessman since he was a child, and these shops are entrusted to him to manage, and the money in the treasury is indeed inexhaustible in a few lifetimes."

When Yang Yang said this, Ah Zhen tilted his head and couldn't help sighing secretly, yes, he can eat as much as he can eat, and wear as much as he can wear. The monthly money earned by so many shops is like a river that keeps rolling in, and his bank is probably piling up. It's like a mountain.

"Yang Yang, you are not too young anymore, it's time to find a husband-in-law." Ah Zhen stared at Liu Yangyang and said.

These words made Wan Yang and Feng Yang unstoppable to nod their heads and said: "Brother Zhen is talking about, does Brother Zhen have a suitable husband and son-in-law? I can make arrangements for my eldest sister." Brother Zhen is not an ordinary person, people who know him must be It's not an ordinary person, maybe his eldest sister can marry a god like Brother Zhen, and he will wake up laughing when he sleeps.

When Liu Fengyang said this, all the female relatives covered their mouths and smiled coquettishly.

"Second Brother" Liu Yangyang was so ashamed to get under the table when he heard his second brother talk like this.

Qianyun and Liu Yangyang are good friends, seeing her like this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "Yang Yang is also 17 years old, it's time to find a husband-in-law." Said that she had already covered her mouth and giggled non-stop up.

When Qianyun said this, Yang Yang's face flushed, and tears welled up in his eyes, "You all bully me." She stomped her feet and tightly covered her red face, turned and ran away in shame.
