The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The Yang family is a big surname in Handan, and it is not easy to rectify them. Although Handan Rong vowed to give Xun Zhen the rouge horse of Yang Shen, but in the short term, he is unable to start.

He put down Handan Rong and stared at Yang's, looking for opportunities to do something. He only said that this time the food was raised. Although Yang's teeth were gritted and he fought to the end, not a grain of rice came out, but only Handan's, Wei's, Han's The food provided by the family, such as the Le family, is enough for the three thousand soldiers to feed them for more than half a year. With this mountain of grain in hand, new soldiers can be recruited.

Xi Zhi is the lieutenant, and he should be responsible for the task of recruiting new soldiers. Xun Zhen ordered Xu Zhong, Cheng Jia, and Xuan Kang to be his deputy.

At the same time as the recruitment work, the grain-raising work for the remaining counties has also officially started, and this work is still in charge of Handan Rong.

There is an example in Handan County before, but none of the nobility and tyrants in the four counties, including Yiyang and Xiangguo, refused to be recruited like the Yang clan.

Where Handan Rong passed by, the trucks were full of grain, and the grains and rice were accumulated in clouds.

Handan County is the capital of Zhao State. It has been a prosperous city since ancient times. In contrast, the four counties of Yiyang and Xiangguo are not as rich as Handan County. There are not as many powerful households in each county as Handan County. The grain for the lieutenant's mansion is not comparable to that of Handan County. However, the grains received by the four counties combined are still far more than the grains produced by Handan County.

Among them, Xiangguo and Zhongqiu counties received the most grain.

This is because the Xiangguo order Yao Sheng, Zhongqiu Cheng Puhu and Zhongqiu Guan Clan Lu Clan tried their best to cooperate with Handan Rong. This Zhongqiu Guan Clan Lu Clan is the family of Handan Rong's sister-in-law Lu Guang. Of course, the Lu family, who is in-laws, will give full assistance.

Speaking of Zhongqiu Cheng Puhu, Xun Zhen had previously traveled to the county in a small way and heard of his name. He visited the county temple twice and failed to meet him. Handan Rong met him when he went back to Zhongqiu. Not only did he see him, but after returning to Handan He also brought Xun Zhen a piece of news.

After the grain harvested from the various counties was delivered, Xun You, Li Bo and others instructed the officials of the central government to transport it to the warehouse of the lieutenant's residence. Handan Rong and Xun Zhen chatted in the hall.

"The Art of War says: Before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first. The food payer is the most important thing for the army. Whether it is fighting thieves or recruiting troops, you must have food. The emperor of the past emperor said: 'If you give pay, you will never run out of food. Dao, I'm not as good as Xiao He'. Gongzai, your Excellency is my Zhao County Xiao He."

Raising food must and can only be done by local people. If Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Xu Zhong, etc. did this, they would probably be able to do it, but it was definitely not as good as Handan. Rong did it so neatly.

From the beginning of raising food in Handan County to the end of raising food in the entire Zhao County, Handan Rongtong took less than 20 days, which can be said to be very fast.

Handan Rong humbly said a few words and said with a smile: "The lieutenant traveled to the county before, and he was unable to see Puhu in the two visits to Zhongqiu, but Rong met him this time when he went to Zhongqiu, and told the lieutenant's visit to him twice. I told him. He was very terrified and grateful, but because there was no order in the county, as the county magistrate, he had to worry about the affairs of the county and had no time to be separated, so he was unable to return to Handan with Rong to pay homage to the lieutenant."

"A little over half a month ago, I heard from the Prime Minister that the court had appointed a new magistrate to Zhongqiu. What? The new magistrate hasn't arrived yet?"

Although Xun Zhen entrusted the recruiting work to Xi Zhicai, Xu Zhong, Cheng Jia, and Xuan Kang, recruiting was a major event, and the quality of the new soldiers would directly affect the quality of the troops in the future, so he was not idle, and would occasionally meet. I went to the recruiting site to have a look. I spent most of the time in the barracks personally checking and inspecting the new recruits. I am not very clear about the recent changes in the officialdom in the county and various counties.

More than half a month ago, the state minister Liu Heng once said to him: Zhongqiu has no orders, the people have no rulers, and the court has appointed Wang Jin, a native of Bohai, as the new county magistrate. Wang Jin, a native of Bohai County, Jizhou, was a smart showman when he was young, and he has a long history of reading classics. He is well-known in the state. A member of the party, he was affected and imprisoned for a long time, until now. Bohai County is near the Bohai Sea, in the easternmost part of Jizhou. It is not close to Zhao State, but it is not close. After all, it is in a state, and half a month is enough for him to come to Zhongqiu from Bohai to take office.

Handan Rong sighed and said, "I was about to tell the lieutenant: Wang Jin died of illness and was on his way to take office."

"what?"

"It's a pity. Wang Jin has the name of Minghui, and he was held by the party for many years. He was finally lifted. He was worshipped as the order of Zhongqiu by the court when he started, but he died of illness on the way, and he was unable to display his talents and virtues."

"It's really a pity."

After nearly 20 years of party confinement, the world's famous people have been wiped out, Wang Jin is still good, at least until the day when the ban is lifted and he is worshipped as Zhongqiu Ling. , died in confinement with indignation, sadness and depression.

Xun Zhen didn't know Wang Jin, and had never heard of Wang Jin's name before, so he just regretted his death.

It was November, and the north wind was freezing cold. Although he was wearing thick clothes, it was still freezing cold when he knelt down in the hall. He looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard that had lost their leaves, and said with emotion: "I will go to various counties to raise grain, and I will be in Xiang country. At that time, the State of Xiang ordered Yao Sheng to set up a banquet for me, and hit the chopsticks on the banquet to sing. The song said: 'Life is a lifetime, and it is like dust. '. Alas, life is like traveling for only one life, like the dust is blown away by the wind in an instant. The leaves of the flowers and trees in this courtyard are forced to fall by the north wind, and the spring will be warm in the coming year, but the leaves will be full of branches. , the years are dying and the years are glorious, and once we are gone, we can no longer be proud!"

Xun Zhen once said: "I heard the generosity of the people of Yan and Zhao.

In fact, it is not only the scholars of Yan and Zhao who sang generous elegy, but the scholars of the Han Dynasty mostly have the idea that life is fleeting, and it is time to make achievements and fame as soon as possible.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Your name is 'Rong', why are you afraid that you can't be 'Rong' again?"

Looking into the courtyard, looking at the fallen flowers and trees, Xun Zhen unconsciously remembered the shade of greenery and flowers she had seen along the way when she first came to Zhao County. Although she made fun of Handan Rong in her mouth, she could not help but feel something like "The tree is like this. , how can people be so worthy." When his thoughts were flying away, he saw Xiahoulan walking into the courtyard with his sword in black, and he suddenly remembered Zhao Yun.

Hu Hu has been away from Zhao Yun for several months. The majestic young man kneeling under the pear tree to read a book doesn't know how is he doing?

Xia Houlan took off his shoes outside the hall, entered the hall, bowed down to the ground, and was about to speak, but Xun Zhen stopped him, called him to move forward, and when he came to the desk, he ordered: "For me Research ink."

Xiahoulan opened an inkstone to take ink, poured water into it, and studied it.

After he had finished researching, Xun Zhen had the paper on file, and after a long time of writing, he didn’t know what to write, and suddenly remembered a few lines of poetry, and dipped it in ink: “The hibiscus is collected in the river, and the Lanze is full of fragrant grass. Whoever is left behind, what you think is far away." After writing, he rolled it up, sealed it with ink pad, summoned Dian Wei, who was standing outside the hall, and ordered: "Go and see if the cold plum in the backyard is blooming, if it blooms, pick one and put it away. In the brocade box, if it is not opened, fold a branch and put it into the brocade box, and send someone to send the brocade box and this letter to Changshan Zhending, and give it to Zhao Yun in person."

Dian Wei Yingnuo went away with the letter in hand.

Xun Zhen smiled and asked Xia Houlan, "You came to Handan with me, and have been away from home for a few months. Do you have any correspondence with your family? Would you like to write a letter from home and send it together?"

Xia Houlan left the desk, returned to the hall, bowed again, and replied respectfully, "Lan Yu often has letters from his family, and he just sent a letter from the family the day before yesterday, so don't bother the lieutenant."

Xun Zhen nodded and asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

"More than 200 people were summoned today. Mr. Xi and Mr. Jiang ordered me to ask the lieutenant. I wonder when the lieutenant will go to the camp to test Sha Tai?"

There were too many refugees, and it was getting to the end of winter. The refugees lacked clothing and food. Seeing Xun Zhen recruiting soldiers, almost all the refugees from the whole county flocked here. , background, strength, courage and other aspects of the requirements are very high, but since the recruitment, every day can recruit hundreds of people, ranging from one to two hundred, as many as two or three hundred.

Xun Zhen only plans to recruit 2,000 new soldiers this time. After all, he was only a Lieutenant of the State of Zhao, and he already had more than 2,000 cavalry under his command. Huangfu Song is the state shepherd, and his subordinates are only more than 10,000 paces.

More monks and less porridge, which is not good for the refugees who are recruited, but it is good for Xun Zhen, so every day after recruiting soldiers, he has to personally inspect the new soldiers recruited that day, and then eliminate a large part from Zhongsha, leaving only the strongest and the best. OK. But even so, in less than 20 days of recruiting, more than a thousand new soldiers have been recruited. It is estimated that in half a month or less, the number of soldiers will be enough.

In the afternoon when Handan Rong came back, he delivered the grain and chatted with Xun Zhen for a long time. At this moment, the sun was setting, and it was already dusk.

Xun Zhen got up and said, "Go now." Xiao Xiao said to Handan Rong, "Gongzai, you and I will go together, the food for the recruiting is all recruited by you, you are a great hero of this recruiting, you have to go. Look at the new recruits."

Handan Rong Yingnuo ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The three of them left the hall and went outside the hospital.

Handan Rong remembered something, and asked as he walked, "Lieutenant, when Gongda and I delivered the grain, I heard Gongda say that the lieutenant distributed 30% of the grain raised in Handan County last time to the Prime Minister's residence?"

"Yeah, there are more and more refugees in the county, the prime minister's house is short of food, and there is no way to provide relief. It's okay if you don't get relief two months earlier. The refugees can barely get some food from the wild fields and the forests near the mountains. , Now it's deep winter, the forest and fields are frozen,... Look at the weather, it's gloomy, maybe it will snow in a few days, the life of the refugees is not easy, if it snows again, the county government If there is still no relief, a large number of people will be frozen to death, starved to death, and there will be a large number of people who will be thieves. Therefore, I will give you a third of the food you raised in Handan County to Xiangjun for him. Relief for the displaced people in Handan County. This time, I will give him a third of the food you raised, but instead of helping the displaced people in Handan County, the prime minister will give it to the counties, and each county will give relief to their own county. Refugees."

"The lieutenant is kind and generous. It is a blessing for the refugees."

"If the refugees were really lucky, they would not leave their homes and become refugees. Cao Gui said: 'Meat eaters are contemptible'. The reason why there are so many refugees in the county is the fault of the politicians! I hope that in my lifetime, one day, I can see that the people of the world have their homes, and the people of the world have their own food."

Xiahou Lan admired Xun Zhen's sympathy for the common people despite her high position, and said, "The lieutenant can definitely see it."

The three of them were talking and went out of the courtyard. Before they reached the gate of the house, they saw two guards and guards leading several people in from outside.

Xun Zhen looked at them and recognized who these people were. She was overjoyed immediately, hurriedly hurried to meet them, and laughed and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
