During the Chinese New Year, the Su family was very lively, with many relatives and friends coming from nowhere.
The visitor was a guest, and Su Ce was tired of dealing with it.
Everyone in the surrounding areas knew that the Su family was going to Chang'an. Su Ce was still the founding uncle of the country. He had achieved Taoism alone, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
Many people had this idea, but Su Ce didn't accept any of them.
The reason is very simple, I can’t believe it.
The Su family was small, so these people rushed to get together, not because they were loyal to the Su family, but because they had an opportunity to "flex their ambitions" in Chang'an.
The last time the head of the Su family came over, it was for arrangement and genealogy, and for the opportunity. Su Ce just agreed. In the future, anyone who goes to Chang'an to study can come to the Su family.
As for bringing someone along, Su Ce refused outright, earning a reputation as a cold-blooded person.
Su Ce understood a truth early on: ambitions are as high as the sky, but destiny is as thin as paper. In Hangzhou, a founding county uncle is very big. In a place like Chang'an, where princes are everywhere, a founding uncle may not even be able to enter the circle.
Rather than bringing these ambitious people with them who may not cause any trouble in the future, leading to the destruction of their families, it is better to refuse at the beginning.
Some people also begged Mr. Su, but Mr. Su just said it haha, and even told Su Ce in advance, saying: "If you don't have a life-and-death friendship, no one should use it."
This sentence also woke up Su Ce. The brothers in Fengsui Fort all had official status, and Su Ce couldn't call them. However, some of the cavalrymen who led the battle in the decisive battle were not doing well.
How dare Su Ce forget those comrades who followed him forward and fought fiercely.
A letter traveled five thousand miles and arrived at the Dingbei Governor's Mansion in one and a half months. Li Ji helped make contact.
At the end of April, a group of cavalry came from the Su family. They were called cavalry, but if you look closely, you will find that these people are more or less inflexible.
What Su Ce wanted was not elite cavalry, but those chosen by those who followed him into battle.
Although these people can also be used, which of these people with sequelae can still go to the battlefield? In the eyes of others, they are the worst options, but in Su Ce's eyes, these people are the people he trusts the most, because these people have been
He put his life in his hands without hesitation.
Mr. Su's scrutinizing gaze disappeared amid the laughter of Su Ce and these people drinking happily.
He knew that his son was really happy.
When Su Ce saw these people, there were tears in his eyes. With a letter, these people came. At the same time, they also sent their family members to Su Ce's fiefdom in Chang'an.
Twenty riders, what's wrong with the injured ones, I raise them. Others despise them, but Su Ce doesn't despise them.
After this battle, there were more than 20 knights, but everyone else recruited elite soldiers. Only Su Ce did not look for those elite soldiers, but only these wounded soldiers.
Many people laughed at Su Ce behind his back for not being sensible and not hiring more elite soldiers, but those in front of him didn't dare to say anything wrong, and they all had to give a thumbs up and praise Su Ce for taking care of his comrades.
When the whole family moved, it almost wiped out the capital that Mr. Su had saved for more than ten years.
It was not until early June of the 11th year of Longsheng's reign that the Su family arrived at Chang'an.
At the emperor's feet, dragons and pythons are entangled.
For people from small families, when they first arrived in Chang'an, they were mesmerized by the bustling capital city.
Surrounded by eight rivers, thousands of boats are sailing.
This is the center of the empire's territory and the center where the empire's politics, military and culture gather.
Under the shocking sound of Lifu trumpets, a boatload of rice supplies from the south were transported ashore from the dock outside the city. Camels, horses, mules and donkeys pulled carts to transport the supplies needed by Chang'an City from Jiumen and divert them. Go to various cities and towns.
The imperial city is located due north of Chang'an City. The palace city surrounds the imperial city and occupies one-fifth of Chang'an City. The remaining area is Waiguo, which is often referred to as Chang'an City.
Chang'an City is a strange place for the Su family. The city is too big, eighteen miles wide from east to west and twenty miles long from north to south.
No wonder the sixteen guards in Nanya always complain that they are not enough. Of course, this is also because there are four guards among the sixteen guards: the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards. The left and right prison guards are responsible for guarding the gates of the capital, and the left and right Qianniu guards are responsible for The emperor's guard of honor.
The other twelve guards are the backbone fighting force.
The defense of a city is not only the city walls, but also the streets. Chang'an was originally the place where the Great Qianlong prospered, and even now it still has the attributes of a military city that cannot be erased.
One hundred and eight squares, each square is like a small city.
The roads in the city are wide, and giant watchtowers six feet high are dotted about every mile.
Watchtowers, square gates, city walls, and city gates all need to be defended.
Therefore, the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya seem to have many people, but only half of them are in office. 120,000 people entering Chang'an City will not make much splash.
The Beiya Forbidden Army is also called the Sixth Army of the Emperor, consisting of two armies each: Yulin, Longwu, and Shenwu.
The South Yamen and the North Yamen interspersed with each other to guard the imperial city and the palace city.
Su Ce and his party went straight to Su Ce's fiefdom, which was right next to the Wei River, and sealed a hundred households. Only when Su Ce arrived did he realize that this was not a blessing.
Before Su Ce came, officials from the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War brought a hundred households from Su Ce's food town to Su Ce's fiefdom. There really were only a hundred households, each with one person per household.
Even though he was still young, Su Ce's face darkened when he saw the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War leaving with relaxed smiles on their faces as they threw away their burdens.
Su Ce doesn't even want to give up this title now. This is not a title at all. This is trying to trick Su Ce to death.
A four- or five-year-old baby is called Yiding?
The youngest is three years old, and the oldest is only twelve years old, not even a grown man.
With a total of 150,000 people, these children are Su Ce's food. This is a big hole that can bury Su Ce alive.
This is the first time in Su Ce's life that he has been tricked so miserably.
However, we can't blame the Ministry of Household Affairs for tricking him. He didn't have any power in his family. Moreover, he came so late and all the older ones were picked away.
There are simply twenty personal guards and family members to help, so the four members of the Su family will not have to carry a hundred children.
Although he deceived Su Ce in this regard, he did not deceive Su Ce in other aspects.
A Earl's Mansion located in Chang'an City, and a year's rations for a hundred households were given to Su Ce in real terms. The Ministry of War also gave Su Ce his salary for the past six months and a pile of copper coins.
This place used to be a village, and the people in the village were moved to Chang'an City by the Chang'an County Government, freeing up the place for Su Ce.
The guards' family has kept the small village very clean. There are quite a lot of houses. It can be seen that this place used to be a small village with more than 200 households.
Among them, the courtyard of the landlord's house used to be the one where Su Ce's family lived, and the guards also chose to live around the Su family's house. Of course, every household is now filled with a bunch of children, some of whom are guards of their own homes, and some of the government officials. Soldier orphan.
"Alang, it's very late, go to sleep!"
"You go to sleep first, I want to figure things out!"
In the empty room, Su Ce looked at his wife sleeping on the earthen bed with a blanket spread out, and his heart felt extremely sad. This was also called Count.
There wasn't even any furniture at home. At this time, Su Ce remembered that he had an earl's mansion in Chang'an City.
It's not impossible for a small family of three hundred to live in the Earl's Mansion, but Su Ce doesn't want to.
Su Ce was a man of two generations. Now that he calmed down, he realized that someone was trying to give him a blow.
The soldiers of the government live and die together, but if the upper echelons were really monolithic, then the current emperor would not be able to sleep.
The water in Chang'an was very muddy, and Su Ce was prepared in advance, but Su Ce didn't expect that while the water was muddy, it was also very deep.
