Chapter 81: Turn Your Face

Thousands of Xiang soldiers, driving ox carts, donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages, pushing wheelbarrows, and even carrying camels on their shoulders, gathered together in a mighty way towards Tianmen Village.

"Xia Gong is really hemorrhaging this time. I saw that whether it is a military tent or cotton clothes, shoes and socks, they are all brand new. Things for tens of thousands of people, they were all provided at once!"

Luo Gang shook his head and said with emotion. "Brother, I really didn't expect that you and Mr. Xia have such a good relationship!"

Xiao Yi dressed up as a teenager again today, but when he heard this, he sneered: "It's not that eldest brother and Mr. Xia have a good relationship, but that Mr. Xia has made it clear that he is disgusted by our new comfort envoy!"

"How do you say this?" Luo Gang said in surprise.

Xiao Yi paused for a moment and said angrily: "Are you a stupid person? Did you follow the eldest brother and the second brother to see Privy Councilor Cui yesterday?"

"Yes, but didn't Privy Council Cui go out to inspect the armies? But Cui Ziyu entertained us warmly! That banquet cannot be obtained without dozens of dollars." Luo Gang smacked his lips.

.

"Hmph, is there a musical troupe singing and dancing during the banquet, so after a few glasses of wine, you don't know what's going on?" Xiao Ao said angrily.

"This is really an injustice to me." Luo Gang shouted, "I didn't even look at them."

Xiao Yi snorted, "Did we suddenly arrive at Daming Mansion? My eldest brother sent someone to inform us several days in advance, right? As a result, Privy Council Cui didn't go out early or late. The day before we arrived,

He's out. He doesn't want to see his big brother, so why not find an excuse to go out?"

"Isn't that true?" Luo Gang murmured: "I signed a contract with the Privy Council and was the pacifier of Hebei. How can I have such a big deal?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Yi continued: "But you still have to thank Cui Fu. If he hadn't come here, Master Xia wouldn't be so generous."

"Is this relevant?" Luo Gang's eyes widened.

Seeing the two bickering, Xiao Cheng laughed loudly and said: "Yuting, what the younger sister said is generally true. Mr. Xia is so generous this time, which is really thanks to Privy Cui. But the eldest brother didn't get it for nothing.

It’s Xia Gong’s stuff.”

"Brother, what can you give Mr. Xia?" Xiao Yi was also a little confused.

"Land!" Xiao Cheng pointed at his feet: "My eldest brother has stayed in Tianmen Village for nearly six years and made great achievements in battle. The Liao people did not dare to come close. The land cultivated by the soldiers and their families amounted to tens of thousands of acres.

Once the whole Guangrui army moved to the town, these lands were rich and fertile. This was not raw land, but fertile land that had been cultivated for several years."

"Isn't this a military camp? After Guangrui's army left, shouldn't it be handed over to the army that came to take over the defense?" Luo Gang said: "The eldest brother gave it to Xia Fuzun. I'm afraid that the pacifier would not let him go.

Cui Ziyu even talked about this matter during the dinner yesterday!"

Xiao Cheng smiled coldly: "Did Cui Fusi not show up and let Cui Ziyu come in with nothing? Yuting, the Song Dynasty's regulations, military garrison land, after three years of cultivation, it was transferred to the private ownership of the soldiers' families. Cui Fuzuo made it private

To take away these tens of thousands of acres of good land from my eldest brother without getting anything out of it is really a huge appetite and a huge honor!"

"It's better to say it's greed!" Xiao Yi said angrily. "I'm afraid he is still thinking of using these fertile fields to bribe the troops who moved to Tianmen Village!"

"Cui Angui didn't want to take out a dime, and the elder brother naturally refused. These lands are the result of Guangrui's army's hard work in the past six years. Although there will be new land allocated to Shaanxi Road, it doesn't take a brain to get it.

, it is impossible to have mature land for Guang Rui's army, it must be wasteland again, and it will take at least a year to turn it from raw land to mature land, and then manage it carefully. If the eldest brother cannot exchange these lands for enough things, he will go to Dingbian City.

What to do? How to stabilize the morale of the military? How to stabilize the morale of the people? For the Guangrui Army, this is a matter of two and one, one and two!"

"I wonder how furious Cui Annuo will be when he hears the news?" Luo Gang said with a sigh.

"What the hell!" Xiao Cheng said flatly: "I hate those people who don't want to pay at all and just want to pick peaches. I also wanted to pick peaches, but at least I gave him real money.

Things. These Xiang troops are just the first group. After they go, they will not come back. They will set up camp wherever they go. Next, Xia Fuzun will move more Xiang troops to take over these lands. Wait until Cui Annuan

When he realized it, everything was a foregone conclusion, whether it was legal or human relations, he couldn't explain it."

"But what should we do with the newly moved troops?" Luo Gang asked.

Xiao Chengchi laughed and said: "If the new army still wants to use farming to solve the welfare of the soldiers, then continue to farm! There are a lot of unclaimed fields around Tianmen Village. Guangrui Army can do that

Things, why can’t they do it?”

"It's true!" Luo Gang muttered in a low voice: "But if this happens, will we completely break up with Ambassador Cui?"

"So what if you fall out?" A loud voice came from behind. Luo Gang turned around and saw Xiao Ding and a Confucian scholar with a goatee riding horses and bridles together. "People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

My husband, in Daming Mansion, the first person I went to see was Ambassador Cui Yasu."

"Brother!" Several people shouted at the same time.

Xiao Ding nodded, pointed to the Confucian scholar beside him and said: "Xu Hong and Xu Changsheng, who works beside Xia Fuzun, will go with us to Tianmen Village this time to finalize all relevant matters."

"Chongwen, Yuting!" Xu Hong smiled brightly: "I have admired his name for a long time, and today I finally meet him."

Luo Gang curled his lips and said: "Mr. Xu, you have probably heard of Chongwen for a long time. I'm afraid I just heard about it, right?"

Xu Hong was not embarrassed. Instead, he laughed: "Luo Yuting is really genuine and not pretentious. It's no wonder that he was able to attract the attention of Mr. Xiao, the eldest son of the Xiao family, and he was recruited as the son-in-law of the Xiao family."

When he said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Xiao Ai, who was lowering his head.

Xiao Ao snorted lightly, but a group of horses walked to one side.

"Fu Zun Xia killed two birds with one stone this time." Xiao Cheng smiled and said to Xu Hong, "This is probably Mr. Xu's work too, right?"

"Chongwen is ridiculous. The big idea is for Xia Fuzun to take over. I'm just filling in the gaps." Xu Hong shook his head and said: "Besides, Chongwen, Fu Zun really appreciates Dalang. Even if he doesn't have these lands, Fu Zun

I will strongly support Changqing’s move to the town.”

"So, thank you very much." Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, the Guangrui Army not only has land there, but also houses, and there are also many tools that cannot be taken away, such as stone rollers and mortars.

Ah, wait, Mr. Xu, can you give me a price for these?"

Xu Hong looked up to the sky and smiled: "I'm afraid no one would have thought that the second son of the Xiao family, who is a scholar, is actually a person who is very willing to spend money and money!"

"How can I study with peace of mind if my family doesn't have enough food?" Xiao Cheng sighed.

"Don't worry! Chongwen, I am going this time to implement these things." Xu Hong said: "For Mr. Xia, a good person will do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Since he has already taken action, this favor must be

Fallen."

Xiao Cheng smiled and nodded: "Xia Fuzun is a powerful person. Anyway, we have fallen out with Cui Anzuo this time, so it is better to give this person a little more power."

Xu Hong was slightly startled, and looked at Xia Cheng, but they nodded and smiled in unison.

The team was huge but moved very fast. In one day, they actually covered fifty miles.

When we started to set up camp, the uninvited guests finally arrived.

After hearing who the visitor was, Xu Hong smiled and consciously found an excuse to avoid it.

Cui Jin and Cui Ziyu, the subordinate of the Hebei pacification envoy, Guan Gouji Yiwen, finally reacted after receiving the news and galloped all the way to pursue Xiao Ding.

"Changqing, where are you going to put our brothers' long-term friendship at risk?" When he saw Xiao Ding for the first time, Cui Jin angrily threw the horse whip in his hand to the ground, stared at Xiao Ding, and said angrily

.

Xiao Ding didn't say anything, but just looked at Cui Jin until Cui Jin's face finally collapsed, with a look of decadence on his face, and then he said: "Brother Ziyu, I was the first one to visit you when I arrived at Daming Mansion.

, is Cui Anshi. Even though Cui Gong avoided seeing me, I mentioned it to you Ziyu many times during the banquet yesterday, but Ziyu always talked about him. Xiao has tens of thousands of people under his command.

People move from Hebei to Shaanxi? Isn’t this child’s play? How dare I leave without complete assurance?”

"Chang Qing, please give me time. I will go to my father immediately and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. I will definitely be able to give you whatever Mr. Xia Fu can give you." He grabbed Xiao Ding's hand and said, "Chang Qing

, you and I have been playing together since we wore our pants open, how can you forget these old feelings?"

"Zi Yu! This is a state matter, nothing to do with human relations!" Xiao Ding took a deep breath: "You also know that I am a human being. Since I have promised Master Xia, I will never go back on it. I won't hide it from you,

Xia Fuzun's staff, Mr. Xu Hongxu, is now in my team. This matter is irreversible. And what Xia Fuzun promised me is enough for me to move to Shaanxi safely."

"Chang Qing!" Cui Jin took a step back and said sternly: "Don't forget, my father is the pacifier of Hebei. Whether you go properly or not, you have to have my father's nod."

Xiao Ding smiled slightly: "My move to Shaanxi was officially approved by the government. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching! If I am wronged in the slightest and faced with extra difficulties, I'm afraid those crows at Yushitai will find a new target.
