Yang Jun said a little embarrassedly: "As I said just now, I saw that my lord was unhappy, so I asked for punishment. Who would have thought that he would be like this." After Yang Jun answered Zhang Fei, he asked Liu Ming doubtfully: "My lord,
, since you are not blaming us, then why is my lord unhappy?"
Liu Ming looked at Yang Jun and said sternly: "Mr. Yang, as for the recruitment of manpower, as early as when I handed over the management of Huxiao Villa, Zhuojun Courtyard and Tianma Ranch to you, I have already given you the opportunity to adapt to local conditions and act expediently.
Rights. So no matter how many people you find, I won’t blame you."
When Liu Minggang said this, Yang Jun was so moved that he knelt on the ground and said loudly to Liu Ming: "My lord has wronged my love for the old man. Even though the old man is so heartbroken, I can't repay him! Only from now on, I will swear to death to repay my lord for his kindness!"
"After speaking, Qi Zhi made a sound.
Liu Ming quickly helped Yang Jun up and comforted him in a low voice: "Mr. Yang, why are you doing this? Your achievements are obvious to all. From now on, we will have to rely more on Mr. Yang's talents."
After Liu Ming comforted Yang Jun, he saw that Yang Jun's excited mood calmed down a little. Then he continued: "The reason why I am unhappy is because Mr. Yang calls us different cavalry and strong cavalry."
When Liu Ming paused, Houde interrupted at the right time: "My lord, please forgive me for my ignorance. I don't know how my subordinates called my lord's cavalry respectively? Aren't they just assault cavalry and strong cavalry? And even if they are called separately,
After calling them names, is the lord unhappy because of them?"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also looked at Liu Ming curiously, wondering why Liu Ming suddenly mentioned it and where it came from.
Liu Ming looked at Houde both happily and angrily. Fortunately, Houde could always answer the question at the right time, allowing him to continue speaking. It was like a modern crosstalk person who could always give him a boost.
What I'm angry about is that Houde is too stupid, and he can't always explain what he says clearly.
Liu Ming sighed in his heart for a moment, no one is perfect. Then he patiently said to Yang Jun and Houde: "The assault cavalry and the strong cavalry are the ones we give to those cavalry with different names and names! There is nothing wrong with this.
!But just now you said that the assault cavalry composed of barbarians and the strong cavalry composed of my people are very problematic. Aren’t the barbarians and my people all members of our Huxiao Villa?
If we cannot treat them as one of our own, how can we expect them to work together with us."
Houde was still a little confused and said: "My lord, although those barbarians surrendered to us, the barbarians are barbarians, and we Han people are Han people. What's wrong with this? Moreover, those barbarians are mostly uncivilized Tatars!
The ancients said: Those who are not of my race must have different minds! Although my lord is kind, he treats them the same as we do. But we must prevent them from having other minds!"
Yang Jun was also a very knowledgeable person. After listening to what Liu Ming said, he immediately understood something. He said from the side: "My lord, what you said makes sense! If we can't regard them as one of our own, how can they be of the same mind as us in the future?"
! Moreover, the barbarians are also a branch of our China, a branch of Yanhuang. It is true that we cannot call them barbarians. From now on, they should all be called people of Huxiao Villa or people of Tianma City."
At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Hou De came to their senses. That’s right! Beware of thieves, and thieves are born. If those foreigners are divided by region and integrated into us, naturally there will be no race. Of course, there will be no race.
He will be loyal to the leader of the region. The eldest brother (lord) is so tall! He easily solved the problem of racial friction and won people's hearts.
Liu Ming looked at everyone's expressions and knew that everyone had obviously misunderstood. Moreover, Liu Ming heard from Yang Jun's words that Yang Jun had clearly misinterpreted his national integration as localism. However, at this time, Liu Ming's
In his head, these concepts were not very clear. Liu Ming vaguely thought: In the modern era of national unification and national integration, there still seem to be many terms with local flavor such as Hunan guy and Sichuan guest.
In this case, if we do it this way, there should be no local separatism and national division, right? Anyway, now I don’t know what to do, so I will explain to Yang Jun and others the importance of national integration. That’s it for now
Let’s do it! As long as the nationalities are integrated, divisions will not occur under the unification of the Han Dynasty. Let them adjust the rest by themselves.
Liu Ming was confused, so he naturally acquiesced to Yang Jun's statement. Skipping this paragraph, Liu Ming asked Yang Jun to continue talking about how he came to the capital.
Yang Jun received the order and said: "My lord, that's all Tianma City and Huxiao Villa for the time being. There are no bad changes. After I received your lord's order to come to the capital, I took my lord's three properties and
According to the lord's instructions, I handed them over to Hua Weng and Xuan Gao to take care of. Then, I visited Liu Taishou with a heavy gift, and under Liu Taishou's guidance, I came to the capital and caught up with Zhang Rang, the official of Zhongchang.
Once the joints have been unclogged, there is great virtue here, and the contribution you have made is not small."
After hearing this, Liu Ming nodded and said: "Yes, you have worked hard. Houde, you have also suffered. Everyone has also tried their best. Mr. Yang, later you will mark the merits of Houde and everyone, and we will reward them according to their merits."
After Liu Ming encouraged everyone, he added: "Mr. Yang, we are only temporarily staying in the capital. Why do you want to build such a big house? By the way, how much did you give Zhang Rang as a gift? Don't give too lightly. Then
Zhang Rang has seen the world, don’t let him underestimate us."
Before Yang Jun could reply, the virtuous Liu Ming praised him and said excitedly: "My lord, I can't complain about buying this house. When we deal with these high-ranking officials and favorite ministers, we have to pay attention to face no matter what. If we
If we don’t have our own place, they will look down on us and won’t deal with us. Which of those officials with some influence doesn’t have some property in the capital? What’s more, even if we don’t stay in the capital in the future, this property will still be useful.
. We still need to send people to take care of it here, so that we can keep abreast of the dynamics of the capital and grasp every move of the court. Only in this way can the lord make his official position stable and comfortable. Moreover, we did not spend much money on this property.
I bought it from the widow of an official who was killed by the Yellow Turban rebels, and it only cost two thousand taels of gold, which is really a good deal!"
Liu Ming listened and secretly praised: What a great virtue! These words coincided with the image and packaging mentioned by the consultant he hired when he started a company in Hyundai. It was a bit level. Especially the understanding mentioned later.
It is even more insightful to know the movements of the capital and grasp every move of the imperial court. If this is left to modern times, isn't it necessary to understand the policy direction in a timely manner and know some insider information in advance? Moreover, the price of this house is quite satisfactory to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming opened a small transportation company in modern times. The little money he earned was only enough to buy a house with an area of more than 200 square meters. In ancient times, the house he lived in at Huxiao Villa was not small in area, but compared to
This house was so far away. What a high-minded vision Liu Ming had at that time! What kind of mansion had he seen? When Liu Ming stayed at Liu Yan's place, his horizons were opened. Now this mansion, pool, terrace,
The pavilions and pavilions are all well-equipped, and it is really a bit like the Grand View Garden in Dream of Red Mansions. It really satisfies Liu Ming's little vanity.
As for spending two thousand taels of gold, it is really not exciting for Liu Ming. Not to mention how much money Liu Ming has now, even Liu Ming himself doesn’t know. Let’s just say that Liu Ming has always spent money in RMB and has never used gold.
The concept of spending, and after Liu Ming came to ancient times, he rarely spent money with his own hands! The only concept of gold exchange was to sell a bottle of Maotai wine and get two thousand taels of gold. So after hearing Houde's words, he only spent two thousand taels.
Gold, Liu Ming naturally thought of a bottle of Maotai liquor. For modern people, if a bottle of Maotai liquor can be exchanged for such a big house, who would think that this is not worthwhile?
Hou De saw Liu Ming smiling and nodded slightly. Hou De became even more energetic and said earnestly: "My lord, let's give Zhang the great eunuch Song Deli who will never be underestimated. They are two good horses."
, ten sorghum wine, three thousand taels of gold, and a set of fine furniture. Especially the furniture you designed. Taihe Zhang Rang was very impressed. He forwarded the furniture we gave him to the current emperor. This emperor is very happy.
Hu Zun, Hu Stool, Zhang Rang was highly praised by the current emperor at that time. Afterwards, he asked us for a set of this piece. The happy eunuch told me personally that the Lord's affairs will be covered by this.
He spread his arms."
Liu Ming praised him and said: "Well, Houde has done a good job. After I report my work tomorrow, we can go to Youzhou to take office. By then, you can all get an official position, and you can also help me share some of my workload."
Everyone thanked Liu Ming in unison.
However, Yang Jun reminded Liu Mingdao: "My lord, do you really think that the Holy Emperor asked you to return to Beijing just to report on your duties?"
Liu Ming said strangely: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean? If it's not a job report, what else could it be?"
Yang Jun smiled and said: "This is to report on one's duties, but it is actually to go to Xiyuan to pay the money for buying an official position. Tomorrow, my lord will go to Zhongshu Provincial Center to report on his duties. If he does not clear the way, Zhang Rang and others will not be able to get the emperor's favor."
Summoned, and after being summoned by the Holy Spirit, if the Lord does not donate money, he will not be sent by the Holy Spirit."
When Liu Ming heard what Yang Jun said, he thought of one word, dark! He didn't expect that ancient times were so dark, so modern times are better! At least they wouldn't be as blatant as in ancient times. Liu Ming shook his head and sighed.
However, things have come to this. You have to find a way to get over this hurdle no matter what, right? Liu Ming helplessly asked Yang Jun: "Mr. Yang, what do you think I should do?"
Yang Jun replied: "My Lord, tomorrow you should go to Zhongshu Province to report on your work. After reporting on your work, you can visit Zhang Rang according to the route we have prepared. Then Zhang Rang will arrange for the Lord to be summoned by the Holy Emperor.
.At the same time, he will also give you some advice on how much you should give to the current saint."
Liu Ming nodded in agreement.
Everyone had finished talking, and it happened that Yang Jun and the others had arranged the reception banquet. Liu Ming led Guan and Zhang to have another delicious meal, and then they parted ways to rest.
The next morning, it was dawn, and Liu Ming woke up after a good sleep. Due to the war and the rush, Liu Ming had not run for many days. He usually just practiced Hua Tuo's Five Animals Play instead of running. Today, Liu Ming was still thinking about it.
Play a set of Hua Tuo's Five Animals Opera.
Just as Liu Ming got dressed, he suddenly felt someone outside the door. Liu Ming asked, "Who is outside?"
"It's me, I'm here to bring you face wash." A female voice answered outside the door.
When Liu Ming heard this voice, it seemed to be Zhang Xiuer's voice. Liu Ming's heart suddenly shuddered.
In the past few months of his military career, Liu Ming has lost the luxury of being served by others at Huxiao Villa. Although Liu Ming has returned to his original simple life, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to simplicity!
This bad habit of enjoying being served will leave an unforgettable mark on your heart even if you quit. What's more, Liu Ming didn't quit at all, but had no chance temporarily. At this time, Liu Ming was captured by Zhang Xiuer
As soon as I mentioned it, I felt a little moved. What was more, I had an inexplicable liking for Zhang Xiuer and hoped to spend more time with her.
Liu Ming opened the door, let Zhang Xiuer in, and asked: "Xiuer, are you healed? Why did you get up so early? You don't have to do this from now on."
Zhang Xiuer put the copper basin on the table, and while throwing a handkerchief in her hand, she said: "Sir, I didn't have any serious illness. I just had a fever due to injury and being exposed to the rain. Yesterday, you asked me to see a doctor.
, I took some medicine and did some exercise and breathing exercises, and the disease was all cured. Since I followed you, I am your maid. Of course I have to serve you, give you face wash, and help you cleanse your face.
Isn't this all my duty?" As he said that, Zhang Xiu had already thrown the handkerchief and covered Liu Mingde's face.
Liu Ming whispered to himself: "Xiu'er, you are so kind."
At this time, Zhang Xiuer had already covered Liu Mingde's face with her handkerchief. She turned her right hand and exerted force, as if she was going to hit Liu Ming's throat.
Suddenly, the voices of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came from outside the door: "Brother, are you up? It's time for us to practice martial arts!" But it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who came together to practice martial arts with Liu Ming.
Zhang Xiuer put her right hand on the handkerchief and gently cleaned Liu Ming's face.
When Liu Ming heard that Guan and Zhang were arriving, he was too embarrassed to continue hanging out with Zhang Xiuer. He quickly got up and went out to greet them.
Since the first time they met Liu Ming, Guan and Zhang were inspired by the saying that "the fists never leave their hands and the music never leaves their mouths". They got up early every day to practice martial arts. This time was no exception.
The three brothers each practiced their own thing. After practicing for half an hour (one hour now), everyone became a little better, and then they stopped with satisfaction.
At this time, Guan Yu saw that Zhang Xiuer had been watching from the side, and his heart moved, and he wanted to give her a try!
