Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

The prefect wanted to give the order. After all, he also wanted to have a good relationship with the local gentry, but General Luo was not cooperative. There was nothing he could do. After all, once the escape order was issued, he had no one under his command, so he could only let General Luo's men. The soldiers went to arrest people, but General Luo said that his soldiers only fought against barbarians and would not bully his own people. Even if the prefect wanted to give orders, it would be useless, so the matter was dropped.

General Luo refused to cooperate, which caused some wealthy gentry in Gu'an City to have a very bad attitude towards General Luo. They once stopped supporting grain and grass. After all, Anron had surrounded Gu'an Mansion at that time, and the threat from the Hu people was less. The wealthy gentry were no longer afraid that barbarians would come and rob their property, so they thought that they no longer needed to support the Luo family army and let them find food on their own. But suddenly they did not support them, which was not good. They just took advantage of this to say that General Luo I'm sorry for their support over the years and no longer support him.

But this did not trouble General Luo. There happened to be no barbarians around now, and he no longer had to be so tense. So he took his brothers and planted all the land around Gu'an Mansion that had been abandoned due to farmers fleeing. When it is busy, they train troops, and when they are busy, they farm.

In addition, some soldiers were jealous of An Ran's ability to divide the land, so he also left with those people. As a result, the original army of 100,000 had almost left, and only about 10,000 die-hard soldiers were left who were unwilling to leave. Ten thousand people will provide for themselves.

Because they are die-hard people who have been brushed off again and again, they are extremely loyal to General Luo, and there will never be a situation where everyone is farming together and being lazy and slippery. Moreover, they also know that if they don’t farm well, they will have no food to eat in the future and will be eaten by those who don’t. The wealthy gentry who continued to support them laughed at them, and worked hard in their hearts. They had cultivated the fields extremely well. Not only were these ten thousand people enough to eat, but they could also sell the extra to An Ran to make some money and exchange for some supplies. Life turned out to be pretty good.

Of course, Anron also supported General Luo with a lot of supplies.

General Luo was hesitant at first and was embarrassed to take it, but An Ran said that when he started his business with his help, she had promised to repay him ten times a hundred times once he became prosperous. Since he was in trouble now, it was her turn to lend a hand. When helping, make him not want to refuse.

General Luo heard what she said and took it. Otherwise, they would only have food and not much money to buy weapons and equipment. Over time, the armor, swords, etc. would be useless. In that case, such a regular weapon would be useless. The victorious army will automatically lose its combat effectiveness because it has no equipment. Naturally, this is not what General Luo wants to see, so this is why he is willing to accept An Ran's kindness. It is really that he does not want to see a team he has carefully built. , was not defeated by the enemy on the battlefield, but was eliminated by itself in peacetime.

General Luo's problem has been solved, but the gentry in the city, because there is no land around, or even there is land, but the common people with less land have gone to Anron, no one is farming, and they started farming many years earlier than in the south. Abandoned.

Although these families have servants, the servants have to serve them. They have no time to farm. Although Zhuangzi, except for the tenants, their stewards are all their own servants, but they are all stewards, so let them go They are also unwilling to cultivate fields.

Although they had no choice but to reduce the number of servants and send other servants to farm the fields, it was still not enough. Many fields were abandoned and their income was also greatly reduced.

After carrying it like this for a year or two, they really couldn't bear it anymore. Not only did their own income decrease and they felt uncomfortable with fewer people waiting on them, but also the servants who could do leisurely things before now had to do heavy physical labor. They also complained endlessly.

So in the end, they lowered their heads first and approached General Luo. After all, General Luo still had many soldiers who could help them. After all, they usually had enough to eat after planting, and they would not plant too much, and they still had time to help them. kind.

General Luo himself was too lazy to take on such a job, so he sent his soldiers to take on some work and make some money as they pleased after planting their army's fields. Anyway, they were surrounded by Princess Fu'an's people. There is no need to worry about attacks from barbarians. When the farming is busy, the soldiers can go out to earn some extra money. When the farming is slack, it will not be too late for them to train troops.

After hearing General Luo's arrangement, the soldiers under his command were so happy that they all ran to make money.

It has been like this since then. After General Luo's soldiers finished planting the army's fields, they went to take on private jobs to earn some money. Because they were all strong laborers, some had a lot of strength, and they worked for themselves, so these people Being able to work from dawn to dusk, everyone really made a lot of extra money - after making extra money, they went to buy delicious food, drink, and fun things under Enron. Who made business flourish under Enron, and there were many novel things? It makes people want to buy it, so what makes people laugh is that they helped Enron make money.

This went on for many years, and on this day, the people under Princess Fu'an finally sent a letter to General Luo, asking him if he would like to return to the court.

General Luo had decided to return long after An Ran ascended the throne, but he didn't dare to mention it proactively, for fear that others would think he was trying to get ahead and not take him seriously.

It didn't matter if they didn't take him seriously. He was afraid that others wouldn't take him seriously, let alone his soldiers, and the brothers he led would suffer a loss, so he kept watching.

At this moment, An Ran asked him if he was willing to return. Of course he was willing, but if he was willing to do it alone, he had to ask his subordinates for their opinions. After all, they had been walking like this all the way, and there was no way he would be alone at the last moment. After making a decision, he asked his subordinates for their opinions.

General Zheng was the first to express his willingness to return.

"Princess Renfu'an has managed the country so well, why don't she come back? If she really doesn't come back, she will attack us, and we won't be able to handle it."

"Old Zheng is right. It is indeed the case. If you can't defeat the left and right, then you can return. Anyway, it will be fine if you return. You see, she has even tolerated the big and small forces in the north, as well as the deposed emperor and others in the south. No. She may not be able to tolerate us, after all, she has always respected our general."

"Yeah……"

Others echoed.

Since everyone was basically willing, General Luo naturally listened to his subordinates' wishes and immediately agreed to the proposal of An Ran's return.

After returning to An Ran's rule, because the military systems of the two sides were completely different, An Ran was afraid of friction, so he asked General Luo: "I don't know what the general's plans are in the future. If you are willing to continue to lead the army, I believe in your ability. It just needs to be a formality. You may need to go to our military academy to study. If you pass the exam, you can continue to lead the current army with military merit, so that no one will gossip. After all, this is how the army generals here come out. I don't It will decompose your army. With the general's ability, you will definitely pass the exam. Don't worry. It's your choice whether the general wants to guard the border or the imperial capital. If you don't want to lead the army in the future, you can also retire. If you retire, , I see that the soldiers under the general are doing a good job in farm work, and I want you to take your soldiers to join the Royal Engineering Corps. I wonder if you are willing."
