Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 121 Aftershock (5)

Muddy, turbid, chaotic, and stirred up, this is the pool of water in Cangzhou.The temporary truce agreement reached by the Huang family leading other families and the governor's tacit agreement has begun to become scorching hot, and it will be reduced to ashes in a blink of an eye.

Xu Qing didn't know that the aristocratic family was plotting against him behind his back. He was thinking, should he show his cards directly, or should he use another tactic to delay the attack and return to the warm water state slowly?

When Xu Qing was struggling, someone from Chang'an came.The person who came also brought a letter from Liu Zan along the way, to be precise, it was a letter, a punishment sheet.That letter was a private letter secretly sent by Liu Zan to Xu Qing.

In the letter, Liu praised Xu Qing for doing a very good job.Liu Zan himself is the chief manager of Southern Hebei, and he was also made unable to stretch his hands and legs by those aristocratic families, and was bound tightly.Now that Xu Qing is doing so hotly in Cangzhou, he has slapped Shizu a big ear, making him very unhappy.

The style of the punishment sheet was completely different. Although it was also written by Liu Zan, he severely reprimanded Xu Qing for disturbing the people and hurting the court's face. effect.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, the three-month salary is small, anyway, the entire Governor's Mansion is counted as mine, and I can take as much as I want.

On the surface, it seems that Liu Zan is playing "eighty big boards" against Xu Qing, but in fact he is very supportive of Xu Qing.Xu Qing couldn't help but think that, with the support of the imperial power far away, and the old iron in the near future, if he can't make a fortune, ahem, and start a reform cause, then he will swear not to be a human being!
The four people from Chang'an are Yan Ku, Zhao Lu, Wei Xian, and Han Zibang (starting from Qitai, with the Qixiong Qixiong of Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Warring States as their surnames, easy to remember?). They were selected, but they were quite capable in secular affairs, and they were selected by Xu Qing.

Xu Qing selected about ten people as his disciples, posted a post to them, and agreed to meet in Cangzhou, but unexpectedly only four people came.But no matter, after all, Cangzhou is too far away, "poor mountains and bad waters".In addition, Beijing officials have never been favored when they are released.With a swipe of a pen, Xu Qing assigned the four people to some key positions in the Governor's Mansion. It was only an excuse, and the original people could be emptied, or even emptied.

Among the four people, there is only one Han Zibang that Xu Qing doesn't like, look at that name, hehehe.It's just that Han Zibang is more talented in counting, and he can be regarded as the best among Tang Dynasty people. Xu Qing is not hypocritical and sends him to the household house to prepare for the future clearance of vacant households.

As for dealing with the aristocratic family, Xu Qing made two-handed preparations.On the one hand, it doesn't matter how effective the so-called apology is released through the Huang family.The key lies in another aspect - recruiting and training united soldiers.

Unity soldiers, also called native groups and militia groups, are soldiers that can be formed on a large scale by local governments in addition to state soldiers.One out of ten good households in the United Army is selected, which is between the government soldiers and mercenaries, and can be regarded as a type of militia.When he was in service, he was only given body food and pickles, and he was exempted from taxes.

Usually working at home, you are allowed to hold bows and arrows. When something happens in the local area, you can participate in the local defense tasks, and you can also obey the call of the governor at any time.One person per ten households is a relatively heavy proportion, and the people of Cangzhou will definitely complain.

If the proportion is too low, it is useless. Besides, people are drawn according to their household registration, and they have to go through layers of government, so the quality cannot be guaranteed.So Xu Qing decided, simply, to recruit volunteers.Under the banner of united soldiers, the garrisons in the three counties except Cang County were asked to recruit [-] united soldiers on their own.

The United Army is a militia. As long as there is no urgent war, they spend a lot of time farming at home, and they are not delayed in farming and are exempted from taxes. Therefore, many people prefer to be a United Army than a government soldier.Now that all the autumn grain has been brought to the ground, we can take advantage of the slack in the fields to engage in group training.

Once the three counties have recruited [-] united soldiers, they will have the ability to resist the attacks of ordinary bandits. Even if the private soldiers of all the families in Cangzhou are in turmoil together, Xu Qing will not be hard-pressed.

Sun Tzu said: "A good fighter stands in an invincible position without losing the enemy's defeat." It means that a person who is good at using soldiers must first establish himself in an invincible position before he can seize the enemy. attack its weaknesses.

After training the united soldiers, the threat to Xu Qing from the private soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic family is basically cleared.With political power coming out of the barrel of a gun and the threat of private soldiers gone, the influence of the aristocratic family in Cangzhou has plummeted.When Xu Qing really wiped out the private soldiers and bandits, the common people would no longer use the coercion and lure of the Niao family, but the coercion and lure of the Niao government.

It's a pity that the aristocratic family didn't give Xu Qing the opportunity and time to do that.The order to recruit united soldiers was issued, and before the recruitment started, chaos began in Cangzhou.Groups of bandits reappeared in various villages to cause harm, set up roadblocks, and what's more, gathered on the edge of the county town to harass the county town.

In the Governor's Mansion, two more letters appeared on Xu Qing's desk:

"The Cangzhou bandits are all dispatched, their movements are unknown, and their reasons are unknown."

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, draw the salary from the bottom of the pot, and don't move lightly."

The first letter was handed over by Anhe, and the latter letter was written in beautiful font and written by a woman, and it was sent by Huang Shimei.

"Hmph..." Xu Qing slapped the letter in his hand on the table heavily, and said with a long breath, "It's good to clean it up once..."

"Brother Xu, what's the matter?" Xun Xueer came out with a bowl of ginseng soup, scooped up a spoonful with a small spoon, and fed it to Xu Qing.

"It's nothing, some people are making trouble..." Xu Qing never discussed business matters with Xun Xueer, took a sip, took Xun Xueer into his arms, and moved his hand around.

There is a small warehouse in the Governor's Mansion, which contains many ginseng and medicinal materials left over from the past. Xu Qing can eat Xun Xueer's finely cured tonic soup and tonic every day, and he is very energetic at night, and his g2 is hard.

After eating this bowl of ginseng soup, Xu Qing's evil fire began to rise again, and his eyes glowed green.In the past, Xun Xueer would have held back her embarrassment and asked Xu Qing to ask for it, but now, she touched her belly and whispered in his ear: "Brother Xu, the Tiankui didn't come this month..."

When Xu Qing heard this, his head exploded, and the "work" in his hands quickly stopped, and he said in surprise: "Tiankui didn't come... What?! You..."

Tiankui is menstruation, if menstruation does not come, isn't that pregnant?

Xun Xueer nodded, smiled and said nothing.Xu Qing was happy, the evil fire in her heart disappeared, she quickly hugged Xun Xueer, and put her face very purely close to Xun Xueer's stomach, to listen to the fetal movement.

Xun Xueer laughed like a silver bell, and said, "Brother Xu, I don't know if it's true or not..."

"Really, what I uploaded can still be fake!" Xu Qing curled her lips, sticking to Xun Xueer's belly, listening to it with a lot of enjoyment.Inside, there is just a small life.And the blood flowing slowly on that little life is my blood!
"Upload?"

"Yeah, I uploaded several Gs!"

"Brother Xu just said things that Xue'er couldn't understand..."

"Don't talk about you, no one can understand what I say." Xu Qing felt the breath of life in Xun Xueer's body, feeling infinitely emotional.

child!blood!reproduce!

Passing on genes may be the original desire of all living things.This desire made Xu Qing feel his connection with the world more strongly, a sense of down-to-earth running through Xu Qing's whole body, and a feeling of epiphany colliding in Xu Qing's mind.

The original Xu Qing subconsciously regarded traveling to the Tang Dynasty as a dream. Although the dream was very real, Xu Qing still felt that one day he would suddenly wake up.After waking up, everything around him will disappear, and he will turn back into the hard-working student with nothing.This gap is suffocating...

Xu Qing just realized today that this is life, it has never been a dream!Modern, there is no going back!After understanding this, Xu Qing's heart felt inexplicably smooth, and he swore secretly:
Buy a house, buy a big house!Be a landlord, be a big landlord!Earn a huge family business and have a group of sons. If the family has a big business, it is easy for the children to become playboys? !It's okay, a dandy is a dandy, I just want to spoil my sons!
Go, my little tadpoles, you no longer have to struggle under the covers, writhe on the wall, live with the sweat on your hands, go and become human!
Occupy the world!

The heroic words filled Xu Qing's heart, but they disappeared all of a sudden, and were deeply buried by Xu Qing.

"Xue'er, I love you..." Xu Qing said with emotion.

"Brother Xu..." Xun Xueer put down the ginseng soup and snuggled up next to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't speak, kissed Xun Xueer's forehead, and said in his heart: "Aristocratic families, there is another reason to deal with you. I have to rely on you to earn my son an inheritance..."

Reports of bandit attacks from all over the country quickly spread to Xu Qing's desk, and the county was in a hurry and asked Xu Qing to send troops to wipe out the bandits.For the first two days, Xu Qing only said that the counties organized their own defenses.On the third day, the state soldiers stationed in the counties were asked to assist in the defense.On the fourth day, the bandits besieged Haixing County. The county magistrate Wang Yi led his strong men to resist, but was hit by a stray arrow and died unfortunately.

The magistrate of Haixing County died, and Haixing County was in danger!
Xu Qing was furious and sent troops to suppress the bandits.Since Qi Tai led some soldiers to Nanpi to control Yu's family, Xu Qing only had more than [-] troops.However, Xu Qing still gathered all the troops, and one of them was ready to fight the bandits to the death.The common people talked a lot, saying that Governor Xu is a good official, and regardless of the danger, he wanted to save the people of Haixing.

Everything was developing as expected by the family, Xu Qing couldn't help it.All kinds of private soldiers on the ground in Cangzhou gathered 5000 people, and 3000 people attacked Haixing. After the death of the Haixing county magistrate, 3000 people ambushed between Cangxian County and Haixing to support the troops.

The other 2000 people took a detour to lie in ambush in Cang County, waiting for Xu Qing to lead troops out of the city, occupy Cangzhou City, capture Xu Qing's family members, and force them to submit.In this way, it is Lu Jing's plan to draw salary from the bottom.

Once these two strategies were put forward, almost all the families agreed in unanimous agreement.They really can't bear this assassin, they must get rid of him quickly!And Lu Jing also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the "strict" boss Wang Yi and take advantage of the situation.

Also, the most important thing is to take this opportunity to avenge the big enmity between him and Xu Qing.
