"Nancheng guerrilla general?" In the study room of Liu Mansion, Liu Ruyi was playing with a delicate dagger, with a helpless smile on his face.
"Ruyi, it was originally said that the guerrilla general in Jining City was the one to be appointed. I heard that the Ministry of War had already issued the appointment. But later, for some unknown reason, both the Acropolis and the governor's office got involved, saying that Jinan City was under-prepared.
Then later on, you became a guerrilla general in Nancheng!" Liu Hanyi just hurriedly explained to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly, but her brows fell into deep thought.
Ordinarily, according to Liu Ruyi's achievements in capturing the treacherous son alive, Sun Kewang, the 'enemy of ten thousand people', it would not be an exaggeration to be promoted to a general or a deputy general. But after all, those achievements were made in Zuo Liangyu's army, and
Liu Ruyi herself didn't want to have too deep involvement with Zuo Liangyu. When she arrived in Jinan City, it was not unacceptable to be one or two levels lower!
At present, Jinan city's military equipment is desolate. Except for the guerrilla Xiang Min in the north city, there are still one or two thousand soldiers who can actually fight. The rest depends on the thousands of elites under Ni Chong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong. But Ni Chong is the commander-in-chief after all.
His defense line was stretched very long. In addition to Dezhou, Dongchang, Jinan in the north, Yanzhou, Yizhou in the south, Tai'an, Qingzhou and other dozens of places in the east, they all belonged to Ni Chong's defense line!
Among them, the most important ones are Jinan and Yanzhou. After all, this is the territory of the vassal king. Ni Chong wants to ignore it, but that won't work. And Jining, Qufu and other places under the rule of Yanzhou Prefecture are even more important.
The hometown of the sage Confucius, the birthplace of Confucian culture, how can there be any room for blasphemy?
Liu Ruyi originally thought that if he could really take up the post of guerrilla general in Jining City, he would be able to leave a buffer for future catastrophes, and his mother and family members would also be able to stay away from the battlefield and ensure safety! But looking at it now
, people are not as good as God, what is supposed to come will always come, playing some tricks will have no effect, it is better to use all your strength in the right place!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's worried look, Liu Hanyi hurriedly said: "Ruyi, what's so good about that poor place in Jining? How can it be as good as our Jinan City? Now, you have become a guerrilla general in Nancheng. Our Liu family,
Even if you don’t want to be majestic, that won’t work!”
As Liu Hanyi spoke, he became excited and danced, as if he wanted to vent the depression of the past few days! "Ruyi, when you officially take office in Jinan City, what kind of young master Fang, if he dares to come to us again, I will definitely do it."
I smashed his legs with my own hands! And that pretty boy named Cao, I will make him regret coming into this world! And..."
Looking at Liu Hanyi's excited face, Liu Ruyi's heart was also touched. He slammed the table and praised: "Brother, you said it well! You said it well!"
"Uh~~~?" Liu Hanyi was stunned. Originally, he was just being lewd, but Liu Ruyi said "Okay". Is it possible that his brother really wants to accompany him to be so crazy?
That's not possible? Liu Hanyi touched his big head and asked in shock: "Ruyi, you, what did you just say?"
"Haha~!" Liu Ruyi smiled softly, her voice not loud, but extremely firm: "Brother, this Jinan City belongs to our Liu family! No one can take advantage of us here!"
In the land of China, no matter before, now or in the future, blood and kinship relationships will always be the best link to maintain 'relationships'!
'When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!'
A family controlling an area is by no means a plot found only in novels!
Even in that era of super-developed information, the same was true! When people are superior to others, they are still superior to others. The difference is that the so-called vested interests are just the mutual transformation between power and wealth!
"Ruyi, you, you!" Liu Hanyi swallowed hard and looked at Liu Ruyi's young and arrogant but confident face in disbelief, "You can't be serious, can you? This, this..."
"Haha!" Liu Ruyi smiled, without explaining, and filled a glass of wine for Liu Hanyi himself, leaving Liu Hanyi more time to digest!
"Ruyi? Are you sure?" Liu Hanyi's body was shaking a little!
Liu Ruyi looked into his eyes and nodded heavily, "Brother, I need your help for everything!"
"Ruyi, your ability is ten times or a hundred times better than that of my brother. The old man also said this when he was alive, Ruyi, you are the hope of our Liu family! No matter what you do, my brother will always be by your side.
Your pawn!" Liu Hanyi shook Liu Ruyi's hand hard, but he let out a long sigh of relief!
You can't write two characters "Liu" in one stroke. At critical moments, the most reliable and trustworthy people will always be your own relatives!
"Brother, are you a little worried?" Liu Ruyi smiled and patted Liu Hanyi on the shoulder.
Liu Hanyi nodded slightly. Although he is usually reckless and likes to do stupid things, he is not stupid. Liu Ruyi's words are easy to say, but to do it is as good as reaching the sky~~~!
Jinan City has more than 100,000 people, not to mention the big landowners, local tyrants and kings, but also the governor's office, the prefect's office, the patrol censor, the commanding officer, etc., more than a dozen large and small offices, thousands of bureaucrats and petty officials, these, and
How to settle it!
Liu Ruyi seemed to see Liu Hanyi's doubts and said with a smile: "Brother, Rome was not built in a day! Everything takes time to accumulate! Maybe, what we lack is just an opportunity!"
Liu Hanyi thought hard and couldn't understand Liu Ruyi's words. He was also a happy person, so he said directly: "Ruyi, whatever you want me to do, just tell me!"
"Okay!" Liu Ruyi praised, "Brother, how are you doing with the food supplies I asked you to collect over the past year?"
Liu Hanyi calculated it and said hurriedly: "Ruyi, I have asked someone to take care of last year's old grain! As for this year's new grain, the Liu family probably still has eight or nine large warehouses!"
The Liu family in Licheng was also in the grain business. The large warehouses Liu Hanyi mentioned were somewhat similar to the granaries of later generations. However, due to the lack of advanced building materials of later generations, the large warehouses of this era were smaller. One warehouse could store hundreds of thousands.
About a kilogram of grain!
These warehouses belong to the lifeblood of the Liu family. They are located in the open space at the foot of Qianfo Mountain and are guarded by more than a hundred servants raised by the Liu family!
Like the wealthy families of this era, generally speaking, except for the grain purchased by the government, the Liu family's warehouse was changed every year, selling old grain and collecting new grain to ensure that the grain inside did not spoil!
Liu Ruyi nodded and said decisively: "Brother, there are 700,000 taels here, you take it first! From today on, the Liu family will give up all business! Everything will focus on purchasing grain! Whether it is new grain or old grain,
As long as I can eat the food and fill my stomach, I want it all~~~~~!"
"Ruyi, this, this, will this be a loss?" Liu Hanyi didn't understand what Liu Ruyi meant.
"Loss money?" Liu Ruyi smiled coldly, "This is not a loss! This is a gamble on life! If we win, our Liu family will be able to take root here and last for a hundred years! If we lose, let the hundreds of thousands of people in Jinan City
Bury with us!"
…………
Ten days later, Liu Ruyi took over the identity, official robe, and official seal of the Nancheng guerrilla general from Shandong Commander-in-Chief Ni Chong. From this moment on, Liu Ruyi truly took a place in the Ming army. From then on, the soldiers under his command
We no longer call Liu Ruyi 'Sir', but officially change our name to 'General!'
According to the practice in the Ming Dynasty's military, every time a new appointment is issued, starting from the actual rank of 1,000 households, the new official must report to the Ministry of War in the capital for registration, just like the official files for the promotion of officials in later generations!
However, the last time when Liu Ruyi was promoted to Qianhu, he happened to encounter a rebellion by bandits from the Central Plains. Liu Ruyi did not go to the capital. But this time, Liu Ruyi had decided to put down his family and life in Jinan City, and obviously he was not prepared to give up to Chongzhen.
Emperor's face!
Fortunately, in this era, money is God!
Liu Ruyi sprinkled thousands of taels of silver, and naturally someone rushed forward to take care of all these details for Liu Ruyi!
Jinan Acropolis, in the study of Commander Jiang Jin.
Yu Dabao looked at the two hundred taels of silver notes in front of him in disbelief, his face was already red with anger, and he trembled: "Sir, this, is this too bullying? Two, two hundred taels? Just,
Just let me, my humble position, wipe that bitch’s ass for that bitch?”
Jiang Jin glanced at Yu Dabao dissatisfied and shook his head slightly, 'This fool is really blind. Is it possible that I, the master, still want to share the five thousand taels of benefits with you?'
However, after all, he was going to run errands and he was his confidant. Jiang Jin had to comfort him no matter what, "Dabao, hey! You said you have been with me for some years, right?"
Yu Dabao hurried forward, bowed and said: "Sir, no more, no less, it is exactly thirteen years!"
"Thirteen years!" Jiang Jin also had some feelings, but then his chubby face turned serious, he slapped the table hard and cursed: "Tell me, what the hell do you do for a living? I took the richest Xiying
The town is for you, you, what the hell did you bring to me? Ah~~! Now, I see you in such a state of desolation, so I gave you a job! You are still so damn picky! Aren’t you,
I don’t want this job anymore!”
"I don't dare to be humble, I don't dare to be humble!" Yu Dabao had never seen Jiang Jin lose such a temper. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed as hard as he could!
Seeing Yu Dabao's forehead bleeding, Jiang Jin sighed, and helped Yu Dabao up and said: "Do your work well, don't think about useless things all day long! For now, let's bear it for now. When the time comes, you will be as famous as you are.
day!"
Yu Dabao was stunned for a moment, but seeing Jiang Jin's confident look, his eyes lit up, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir, for your cultivation, thank you for your cultivation!"
…………
At this time, Liu Ruyi's three thousand soldiers had already settled down in the Nancheng camp!
Although Liu Ruyi now has a guerrilla rank, in fact, the military uniforms of his officers only have more than 1,000 sets from Qianhu Shi. Most of the remaining soldiers wear linen clothes made of coarse cloth. This is a good idea.
The good thing is that everyone thought these people were just Liu Ruyi's domestic slaves. In addition, Liu Ruyi and his team were very low-key. They rarely went out except for practicing in the camp, so they didn't arouse much suspicion!
At night, with the moon and stars sparse, Liu Ruyi held Xiao Zixin's hand and walked slowly on the tall city wall of Jinan South City.
The autumn wind was already a bit cold, and Xiao Zixin couldn't help but shiver as the breeze blew by. Liu Ruyi hurriedly hugged Xiao Zixin into her arms and used his own body temperature to warm her.
Xiao Zixin was a very quiet woman. She leaned gently on Liu Ruyi's shoulder, and the slight dimples that appeared at the corners of her mouth betrayed her mood.
For a long time, neither of them spoke. Xiao Zixin mustered up the courage, gently pulled Liu Ruyi's hand, and said with a smile: "Ruyi, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Ruyi smiled and looked up at the deep night sky, "Zi Xin, I'm wondering whether people have an afterlife? Are what I see now real?"
"Haha!" Xiao Zixin couldn't help laughing, and her mood relaxed. She gently hugged Liu Ruyi's arm and shook it hard, "Ruyi, maybe you are dreaming? Dreaming that you are Zhu Bajie, and then marry
Got a beautiful wife!"
Although the story of Journey to the West has not been spread, Liu Ruyi often told Xiao Zixin and other girls some of its dirty jokes, such as "Zhu Bajie made a big fuss in Gao Laozhuang", "The Supreme Treasure was trapped in Pansi Cave",
"Two or three things that Tang Monk and the Mouse Spirit have to say" and so on, although it is not a pure novel, it can make the beautiful woman smile!
Just as Xiao Zixin finished speaking, her face turned red. She obviously realized that she had been led astray by the man in front of her!
Liu Ruyi obviously did not have such awareness. He closed his eyes, gently hugged Xiao Zixin's slender waist, and breathed in the faint fragrance of the beauty in front of him, but his mind had already crossed time and space, heading straight for the vast northern border!
At this moment, Huang Taiji has probably ordered the expedition, right?
At this time, Xiao Zixin suddenly exclaimed and shook Liu Ruyi's big hand vigorously, "Ruyi, look! That's a shooting star~~!"
Liu Ruyi looked in the direction of Xiao Zixin's finger, and sure enough she saw a spark streaking across the night sky, leaving a wonderful arc!
Xiao Zixin quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and was muttering something unknown.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile lightly, what should come will come sooner or later!
