When Chen Wen helped the old man with gray hair and boyish face back to his house, he asked some about the situation in Echeng, and gave timely feedback to Liu Qi when he returned to the county government office.
Liu Qi convened Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Wen Dai, Chen Chun, Chen Xia and other four generals for urgent discussion overnight to discuss specific countermeasures on whether to attack Echeng or Huairou Echeng.
Liu Qi knew that if Echeng was not captured, the local tyrants in Echeng were not defeated, or the powerful people in Echeng were not harmonized, the people of Xinye City would never have peace. For Liu Qi, who was the first Xinye Order, this was absolutely unacceptable.
Things like the establishment of a separate central government in Echeng appeared.
Chen Wen first informed Chen Wu and Wen Dai about the situation in the county and Echeng that he had learned about, and Liu Qi asked them to make suggestions on how to govern the county in the next step and how to deal with the local tyrants in Echeng.
Chen Wu has always been the main combatant, so he naturally proposed to send troops to suppress the local tyrants in Echeng immediately; Chen Wen, however, suggested that he should go to Echeng to investigate the situation on the spot before making a decision; Wendai suggested that Echeng should not be left alone for the time being, and first stabilize the county and consolidate the city's defenses.
Spend the cold winter and wait until next spring to fight again in Goose City.
Chen and Wen each had their own opinions, but Liu Qi naturally adopted them. After thinking for a while, Liu Qi said with emotion: "Under the rule of this county, local tyrants will never be allowed to exist. The lives and freedom of the people cannot be guaranteed, and I am still required to suppress the bandits."
What? Why do you want me to be the county magistrate? What the three generals said is in line with my wishes, but I have an idea to share with you."
"Master, please speak clearly." Chen Wen knew that Liu Qi had an opinion and bowed his hands.
Liu Qi said: "General Wu must strengthen the city's defenses and be on guard against invading bandits at all times. I don't know if I have detained more than a hundred bandits. How good is my attitude towards pleading guilty? How many of them are willing to surrender?"
Chen Wudao: "They are all horse thieves who accept death and do not repent. They would rather die than surrender."
When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy and said with a smile: "That's very good."
Chen Wu was puzzled and said: "They are all stubborn and unyielding people. How can the young master talk so well?"
Liu Qi said: "I would rather die than surrender. I have integrity. It's just that the thieves' integrity is used in the wrong place. They rob homes and homes and trample the people. They can't be considered heroes. Robbery from the rich and giving to the poor, punishing the evil and supporting the weak are the real thieves in Guandong. Talk about surrendering."
The matter of thieves and thieves was handed over to General Dai, who organized the thieves into a strong vanguard, recruited them with good food and meat, strengthened training, and attacked Echeng later in the year."
"Yes." Wen Dai responded loudly, with excitement on his face. This was because Young Master Liu Qi valued him.
Chen Wu also said, "Young master, it's wonderful to bring down the thieves and attack the local tyrants. But why wait until the next year to attack Echeng? Can't we take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory while the morale is high?"
Chen Wen, who was listening, looked at Chen Wu and said with a smile: "Young Master is benevolent and righteous. In this year of famine and war, I don't want to disturb the people."
Liu Qi said calmly: "Brother Wen told me that the people in the city have been robbed by bandits and deceived by local tyrants, and they are tired of the war. When I first took office, I must not resort to violence and let the people in the city live a peaceful New Year. Of course,
, our soldiers must not relax, Goose City cannot fly."
Chen Wu nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Young master is wise, but his martial arts is uncivilized. He needs to be taught."
Liu Qi added: "Brother Wen can take Chen Chun with him tomorrow. The two guards, Chen and Xia, will go to Echeng for three or two days to find out how Echeng reacts to the new Ye Ling's appointment, and to find out the population, city defense and customs clearance of Echeng.
Draw a city defense map and follow the routes to attack the city next year."
"Yes." Chen Wen responded.
Liu Qi looked at Wen Dai and said, "General Dai has something else to do. He is to write hundreds of recruitment lists and post them at the city gates and busy market places. He will announce the vacancies in the county government offices. Anyone with skills will be able to post the lists on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
Go to the county government office for an interview."
After Liu Qi finished speaking, a figure flashed in his mind, and he added: "Every village outside Kuai Ma City must issue an announcement and a recruitment list for the people, and not a single village can be left out."
"Yes." Wen Dai responded resoundingly again, and Chen Wen had already sensed Liu Qi's ambition to recruit troops and talents to prepare for a big effort in Xinye City.
After Liu Qi arranged the arrangements one by one, it was already the crescent moon hanging on the plum blossoms, and the maids in the mansion had already served hot dishes and rice.
During dinner, Liu Qi called Huang Wudie and Huan'er to dine in the same room with Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Wen Dai, Chen Chun, Chen Xia and other four generals. As for the ancient taboo of women not dining with men, Liu Qi
Under the advocacy of the equality concept of men and women sharing the same table, sharing meals, equal work and equal pay, it has long been broken. The naturally forthright Huang Wudie was in high spirits and drank a lot with the soldiers. Huan'er helped her back to her room to rest.
After the soldiers left, Liu Qi took advantage of the wine to ask whether Huang Wudie had obtained the consent of his parents when he left Xiangyang to pursue Xinye. Thinking of Huang Wudie's tearful and pitiful appearance when he quickly caught up with Liu Qi, Liu Qi's heart
He was a little crazy, and his experience with this junior sister Huang Wudie was somewhat legendary.
For the first time, Liu Qi was presented with a brocade robe and cloak, and when he met Zhang Hu in front of the Prince's Mansion, Chen Sheng went wild, Huang Wudie fought side by side with Liu Qi, and threw pear blossoms and rain needles, which was regarded as a killing spree; this time when Xinye took office,
Fighting against the Black Mountain bandits at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, Huang Wudie once again worked with Liu Qi to suppress the bandits, and even scattered the pear blossom needles like a goddess scattering flowers. Huang Wudie had let go of killing bad guys and had no worries anymore.
He is more ruthless than Liu Qi...
Liu Qi naturally had a special affection for Huang Wudie because of the love between men and women as comrades-in-arms established in life and death adversity. Liu Qi put on the tiger skin cloak that Huang Wudie had made when he left Xiangyang and strolled in Huang Wudie's yard.
A gust of cold wind blew into his neck. Liu Qi was mostly awake. Looking up at the cold moon, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel excited. At this time, he slipped into his junior sister's hut. If he couldn't control it, he pushed down Miss Huang, the pampered daughter of his master Huang Zhong. The consequences would be
What will happen?
Liu Qi was thinking a lot and was pacing outside the courtyard where Huang Wudie lived. When he was in a dilemma, he still didn't have the courage to push open the ajar door of the small courtyard. He sighed and was about to walk back when he heard a soft call: "
Master, why don't you come in and sit down?" Then the door creaked.
It was Huang Wudie's familiar voice. Liu Qi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the sound. He suddenly turned his head, but was stunned to see that Huan'er was standing next to Huang Wudie. He suddenly felt a sense of loss and resentment in his heart. This boy
Wen Dai really didn't know how to do things, so how could he arrange for the two girls Huan'er and Huang Wudie to live in the same room? Such an arrangement would completely put an end to Liu Qi's bad ideas.
"Junior sister, Huan'er, I won't go in. I just can't sleep. Let's take a walk. Why haven't you slept yet?" Since there was no chance to be alone with Huang Wudie or Huan'er tonight, Liu Qi was just stunned for a moment.
Then he regained his appearance as a gentleman.
"We sisters can't sleep either, sir, please." Huang Wudie smiled and welcomed Liu Qi into the room, and Huan'er quickly found a seat.
Liu Qi sat down, and Huang Wudie asked with concern: "Sir, why can't you sleep?"
Of course Liu Qi would not say that he couldn't sleep at night and thought about women. He said perfunctorily: "I am a bit useless as a county magistrate. The city is in a depression. I am thinking about how to let the people live a good life."
"The eldest son is a good official. He worries about the people day and night. You should take care of yourself." Huang Wudie said, took Huan'er's hand, and said: "Young master, you men all have things to do. I just talked to Huan'er.
My sister thought about what she should do. I think the people in this city are so pitiful and lack food and clothing. I want to continue my old business and open a clothing store to sew some winter clothes for the people for free. Sir, I think
Is it ok?"
Huan'er also continued: "I am also thinking about opening a clinic next to Sister Die'er's garment shop to provide free medical treatment for the people and alleviate their pain. Do something practical for the people, so that the people will be grateful to the gentleman for his kindness, and the county will slowly
There is life.”
"This..." Liu Qi was stunned, suddenly so touched, what a kind-hearted woman.
"Sir, tell me, is that okay?" Huang Wudie asked anxiously when Liu Qi didn't express his position.
Liu Qi thought for a moment and said: "Okay, you can open a government-run clothing store and government-run clinic next to the county government office. It's just not appropriate to open it for free. It's always uneasy to use free things. You can charge high prices.
Collect money."
"What? Young Master, you don't know how to make money from people's unconscionable money? Why do we want to make so much money?" Upon hearing this, Huang Wudie was so angry that she wanted to beat Liu Qi, but was stopped by Huan'er, who couldn't understand the always benevolent Young Master.
Why did Liu Qi become so snobbish and indifferent to the welfare of the people?
"Stupid, if you make more money, you can make more good dowries, hahaha..." Liu Qi laughed happily. Facing two beautiful and enamored women, Liu Qi suddenly felt very happy to be reborn in the Three Kingdoms.
"I'll hit you..." When Huang Wudie understood Liu Qi's joke, he smiled and chased Liu Qi, which made Huan'er envious and felt a sour taste in her heart.
…
The next day, under Liu Qi's instructions, Wen Dai led his own soldiers to escort him and built two simple wooden houses connected together next to the county government. One of them was branded "Fengwudiefei Garment Shop".
Huang Wudie went to the county town to purchase the items in the shop, as well as the family property. Naturally, Huang Wudie took charge of the ready-to-wear shop.
The other one is branded as "Hua Tuo's Disciple Medical Shop", borrowing the name of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, giving full play to the celebrity effect, implying that Huan'er will continue to carry forward the noble medical ethics of the master Hua Tuo and help the people free of charge.
The two shops were connected and connected internally. Wen Dai sent several guards to guard them secretly. Huang Wudie and Huan'er were sitting happily in the shop, talking, laughing and taking care of each other. There was a big red notice outside the shop, of course, it was free.
Serve the people without taking a penny.
The clothing store and the medical store have been open for several days. A few people occasionally stopped to watch, but no one entered the store. Huang Wudie and Huan'er were very enthusiastic and depressed. They were so dedicated to doing good things for the people, but no people paid attention to this matter.
It's so weird.
When Liu Qi returned home after inspecting the city defense, he stopped by the garment shop and saw Huang Wudie with a bitter face. He smiled. Huang Wudie glared at Liu Qi and complained: "Sir, I am doing business in the garment shop I opened in Xiangyang."
If you are prosperous, you can sew and mend and subsidize your family. How can you see the misery of the people in the city and refuse to take any money, but no one cares about it? "What's the point? "
Liu Qi smiled mysteriously again and replied: "Junior sister, you don't understand this. Don't you know there is no free lunch in the world?"
