Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 356 Wei Xian is Here
Xu Qing went in with a sullen face. At this moment, the shouting of slogans on the school field became louder.Xu Qing went to the official residence.Zhuge Yan was also here, seeing Xu Qing coming up, Zhuge Yan rushed over and said: "General Xu, the last general is organizing the second team to practice."

Although he was somewhat skeptical, there was no evidence after all, so Xu Qing couldn't just curse people out arbitrarily, so he asked, "Didn't you say you were going to run away in the morning?"

Zhuge Yan immediately returned: "General, except for the six teams that ran the most yesterday, the other five teams ran four times this morning."

"Why didn't Team Six run?"

Zhuge Yan lowered his head and said: "Oh, please forgive me, the general. In the end, the people of the sixth team can't stand up anymore. I ordered them to rest for a whole day."

Xu Qing was worried for a while: "Oh, no, I ran for so long yesterday, I can't stop, this break is completely ruined."

"General, this last general still knows about it. I told them not to wear armor or carry anything, and walked here twice."

"Well, it's ok, what is it doing now that it's running again?"

"The last general, the last general sees that running while shouting slogans has a great effect on improving morale, and the running is also extraordinary, so I want General Xu to see it. Just now, I asked the sentry to watch General Xu's way back. "

Xu Qing listened to it, but it was good, but seeing the slogan shouted loudly, it's just that the running soldiers walked in a disorderly manner, not thinking about the army of later generations, when they ran, they seemed to be running alone.

However, Xu Qing also forgot, so it is difficult to require his soldiers to be so orderly, as long as they can fight, and they can run raids.However, another thing still needs to be practiced, that is, at any time, any action must be reported.Otherwise, he would be beaten to death without talking, and piss in his crotch.Take it easy...

Xu Qing ordered Zhuge Yan to stop the training, praised him verbally, and gave Zhuge Yan the silver bowl and jade chopsticks that he took from the Baiguan Banquet today, and asked him to go outside to buy pigs and sheep to improve the food for the soldiers.In addition, after thinking about it, Xu Qing proposed to let them run one step after shouting a word, and they should run more neatly.What Xu Qing thought was that this was the Xuanwu Gate. Although there were not many people there, it was the gate of the palace after all. Maybe the old man Li Yuan came here?
reward silver!Appreciate clothes! Add officials and ranks!

Back at the mansion, Zhao Gong was nowhere to be seen, and the food he had brought was also placed in the house without being moved in.Xu Qing frowned, what happened to Zhao Gong, could it be that I treated him better and he relaxed?
At this moment, a person came in yelling outside, Xu Qing heard that it was Zhao Gong, and he didn't know what he was going to do.As soon as the door opened, Zhao Gong shouted: "That so-and-so, yes, you, you and you, go and carry the bag of rice noodles for me...Pfft, master, why are you back?"

Xu Qing asked angrily: "Why, do you still have an opinion when I come back? Who are these people behind you?"

Zhao Gong smiled and said: "Master, there are three boys and five girls in total. I will go and get them back."

Xu Qing asked: "Isn't there still a few days for the eunuch to enter the palace?"

Zhao Gong smiled and said: "That's not Wan Guifei's concern, master, don't worry, these dolls are obedient, and those little girls are all good at needlework."

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Just bring a few eunuchs here, what are those little girls doing? I don't have a place to live here..." Xu Qing said in his heart, what do I want you five girls for? There is a pair of five girls, and there is another five girls at home.

"How can it be? They live in the nearby palace, and these eunuchs and I sleep in the servant's room."

"Well, okay," Xu Qing finally nodded and said to those people: "Okay, you guys work hard here, and I won't treat you badly. You can take as much rice noodles as you can eat, and you can take as much as you want. It's all right. It's done well. With your monthly allowance, you are allowed to go out to Chang'an City to play and save some dowry."

The eight people respectfully agreed and moved the rice noodles away.

"Zhao Gong," Xu Qing ordered, "take those extra rice noodles outside and exchange them for some money, don't buy vegetables, save them carefully, and give these people regular money."

Zhao Gong said suspiciously: "Master, this is given by the palace. The slaves are not hired. What kind of money should I give back? It's enough for them to eat. In my opinion, it's better to buy vegetables with that money."

Xu Qing nodded after hearing the words: "It's good to buy vegetables. You can buy them some meat and vegetables, but we don't need to buy what we eat."

"Why?"

"The emperor ordered that all the emperors and grandchildren should come to learn juggling with me from time to time. As a teacher, I naturally have to charge some tuition fees." Xu Qing replied, "I guess, wait a little later, and I will pay you some tuition fees." Naturally, someone brought the food over."

"Master, you mean, the king of Zhongshan and the king of Lu'an County?"

"Yes, besides his two foodies, who else can there be?"

Xu Qing was estimating in his heart that there are more and more people around him now, and in the future there will be another master coming, and he has to supplement his own money to the soldiers below from time to time, so the money in his hand is getting more and more insufficient.Now Xu Qing's public bank only has a pile of food for the soldiers' daily meals, a little money for repairing armor knives, and occasionally buying vegetables and seasonings. More than 3000 people, adding up to less than 1000 taels.

Last time, there were hundreds of taels that were rewarded, and Zhuge Yan said that he only used a part of it, and the rest was evenly distributed to the usual daily life.The few hundred taels were borrowed from Xu Shiji, and he had no time to repay them, but the training was about to be organized, and it was difficult to move without the money.

Xu Qing returned to the room, picked up his unsteady writing brush, and scribbled down a memorial, a letter from home.The memorial is to ask Li Yuan for money, and the family letter is to ask the family for money. Although the words are ugly, Xu Qing thinks that the words written are true and there is no black circle.

Satisfied, he stuffed it into the envelope, licked it with his mouth, and stamped his big seal, hey, the feeling of stamping is so cool, Xu Qing couldn't help stamping a few more.County uncle. , The general's, the guard's, and the doctor's, the four seals are stamped.

Zhao Gong was called to deliver the letter, but he said that there was a person outside who asked to see him, claiming to be Wei Xian, the order of the Ministry of Officials.Xu Qing looked at the letter in his hand, curled his lips, threw it into the fire, and then let Wei Xian in.

After a while, an official in green robes came in, and seeing Xu Qing, the official burst into tears and bowed down: "Disciple Wei Xian, who has been in Chang'an for a year, forgot to reply to your letter, is really an ungrateful villain, I beg you to forgive me." .”

When Wei Xian came in, Xu Qing took a look at him, and saw that he was already skinny from hunger, and the moment he knelt down, Xu Qing thought he was falling apart.He thought to himself, this Wei Xian has been in Chang'an for a year, but what happened to him made him so emaciated.

Xu Qing stepped forward, helped him up and said, "Wei Xian, you've lost weight... sit down."
