Huan Rong

Huan Rong resolutely refused to give it, and Xun You couldn't see the original letter in the end.

However, the matter of the Qiang people's refuge cannot be ignored, but must be taken seriously.As Huan Rong said, the army that will be sent to the door is neat, equipped with swords, and powerful in combat power, which is absolutely rare.

From the point of view of later generations, this is a mercenary army.

As long as you give enough benefits, you can fight for Huan Rong.All the Hu people's friendship and tribal in-laws can be left behind.

The seeds planted during the Northern Expedition were repeatedly sent caravans to lure them, and now it's finally time to harvest.

"The Qiang people sincerely seek refuge, and the Duke of Ming can take them in, but they need to be cautious in their actions, and they need to pay more attention to the court."

The relationship between the Jin Dynasty and the Hu people is obvious.

Just last year during the Northern Expedition, he had a big fight with Murong Xianbei.

During this period, there was not much conflict with the Qiang people. After all, it was not a friendly army, but an enemy.If Huan Rong took the Qiang people under his command without saying hello, there was no guarantee of Jiankang's reaction.

A big hat of "colluding with barbarians and intending to rebel" is enough for him to drink a pot.

Although Huan Rong is not what it used to be, no matter how big the label is, he can try to solve it, but it is always good to have fewer troubles.

"I have to trouble Zhong Ren on this matter."

Clenching his fingers, Huan Rong suppressed the instant irritability.

Every time I think of Jiankang, the scumbag father and Queen Mother Chu will flash in my mind, and then I will become upset.This kind of emotion is really not good, and we must try to get rid of it.

"promise!"

Without Huan Rong's orders, Xun You would try to settle the matter.Before the matter is confirmed, Huan Rong's identity is really not suitable for direct contact with the Qiang people.Once the news spreads, it is easy to be caught in the pigtails, and it will be another trouble if it is not big or small.

The two agreed on everything, and the sun had already begun to set.

The smell of broth wafted from the camp, and Huan Rong couldn't stand the groaning, so he asked his servant to bring some plates of sanzi.Xun You spent some time with him, unknowingly ate a bit too much, and burped for the first time.

In this regard, Xun Sheren was very helpless.

Since going to Huan Rong, he has been subtly influenced, and his appetite has increased day by day.The old servant accompanying him was very pleasantly surprised, but to me, it was horrified.

However, the cooks in the Assassin's Mansion are superb, Huan Rong likes to invite people to eat, and Xun Sheren is often a guest.When counting grains of rice doesn't work, the consequences can be imagined.

Every time Xun Sheren put down his job, he would experience a serious ideological struggle.

How about seven full?

How about health preservation?

Swallow it with rice?

Shi Shaozhong Lin also had the same troubles as him.As for Jia Bing, they haven't been together for long, and haven't had many chances to share meals with Ming.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xun You gave up resisting and left with a full belch, his back was very desolate.

Watching him leave, Huan Rong couldn't help blinking.

You can eat like this, as expected, ordinary people in the world of counselors don't understand.

The curtain was raised and then lowered, leaving doubts behind, Huan Rong cleaned his hand and opened his mouth for a closer look.

Seeing the hidden gold and grain provided by Yuan Jin's subordinates, he immediately sneered: "It's really good at hiding."

Who would have thought that these people were in Shouchun, and the gold and silver they looted had been secretly sent out, most of them were hidden in Yuzhou and some were sent to Beidi, which can be described as three cunning rabbit holes.

After going through all the confessions, Huan Rong couldn't help feeling sorry for Yuan Jin.

From the very beginning, the loyalty of these people was questionable. Ten percent never thought of living and dying with Yuan Shi.As long as there is the right time, they are destined to flee out of the city, and even turn their guns to rebel.

If it wasn't Huan Rong who led the troops to besiege the city, they might not have fled north overnight, and [-]% would have other plans.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, and a fire completely shattered the plan.

Before escaping into the "safe area", even people and cars were captured, and gold, silver and silk grains were hidden for life, and all of them will be included in the state treasury to contribute to the construction and development of Youzhou.

"A man who joined the army actually hid three hundred pieces of gold and a thousand stones of grain."

Fingertips across the confession, Huan Rong looked unkind.

According to the confession, these people took advantage of Yuan Zhen's serious illness to deceive Yuan Jin into being a two hundred and five.

Thinking of the empty villages, the villagers in ragged clothes, a sense of depression fills the chest, which lingers for a long time.Huan Rong suddenly felt that it was too cheap for these scum to be beheaded simply and neatly just to take the blame for Yuan Jin.

"Everything deserves a thousand cuts!"

Just when he was angry, the curtain was lifted suddenly, and a four-headed body holding bamboo slips appeared by the door.

"Brother."

Huan Rong raised his head, the cold light in his eyes hadn't receded, his expression was murderous, a little frightening.

If it were an ordinary child, they would be frightened to some extent, and they might cry on the spot.

Yuan Feng is not the case.

Seeing Huan Rong like this, he frowned first, then suddenly realized, took a step forward, walked to the low couch, put down the bamboo slips, sat upright, and said: "Someone made brother unhappy? Kill him?" That’s it! Brother, it’s not convenient for you to do it yourself, so you can let me do the steps.”

Huan Rong: "..." Baby, I know you are unusual, but do you need to be so extraordinary?

"Brother?"

"nothing."

Even though he felt that Yuan Feng's reaction was a bit wrong, Huan Rong just shook his head and didn't open his mouth to correct it.

Not mentioning his relationship with Yuan Feng, just relying on the current world, such a temper is better than cowardice, innocence and indecision.Even if he is a little fierce, at least he can survive and not be bullied at will.

Huan Rong rubbed his chin, okay, it's not "slightly obvious".

But he's happy to use it that way, so what?

"Are you hungry?" Huan Rong calmed himself down, put aside the dangerous topic, and said with a smile, "A Mi made the mutton soup with her own hands, and it has been cooking for more than an hour."

"I know." Yuan Feng nodded vigorously, "I smelled the fragrance when I entered the tent."

"Do you like steamed cakes or rice?"

"All good." Yuan Feng paused, and asked expectantly, "Brother, can you tell me poetry?"

"Okay, where did you read it?"

Huan Rong waved away the confession, pulled Yuan Feng to his side, and spread out the bamboo slips casually.Looking at the familiar words and phrases, his thoughts drifted away for a moment, so that he missed Yuan Feng's answer.

"Brother tired?"

"A little bit." Huan Rong nodded indiscriminately, and asked Yuan Feng again where he read, and began to explain to him word by word.

Yuan Feng's vocabulary is astonishing, and his comprehension is quite high. No matter how much Huan Rong says, he seems to be able to digest it on the spot.No matter the present or future generations, they are 100% child prodigies.

During the process of explaining, Huan Rong had both a sense of accomplishment and a bit of emotion.

The original body went out to study at the age of ten, and he was familiar with the scriptures of the sages, and he was able to express them perfectly; the child in front of him was only five years old, and he was able to familiarize himself with the national customs and understand the general meaning.

It is no wonder that the Wei and Jin gentry prospered for hundreds of years, and even shared power with the emperor for a time.The humble family could only watch helplessly, until the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it took a long time to turn around.

The so-called surpassing the starting line is by no means empty talk.

The latter has not taken a step yet, while the former has already sprinted for a hundred meters. Such a distance cannot be shortened overnight.

"Are you tired?" After reading three Qin Feng poems, Huan Rong stopped.

"Not tired." Yuan Feng shook his head and said earnestly, "Father taught, "The Book of Songs" enlightenment, and then read "Spring and Autumn". Tai Shigong's "Historical Records" should also be memorized in detail. Before elementary school, you need to be able to memorize the family tree."

Yuan Feng's voice was clear and crisp, and he listed them one by one with his fingers.

After counting one slap, Huan Rong didn't want to say anything more.

In the eyes of future generations, such an education method is extremely undesirable, is it really oppressing children?

It's a pity that the person involved didn't realize it at all. He read what he should read and memorized what he should memorize. He felt that he had too much free time, so he took the initiative to increase the amount for himself.

play?

Yuan Feng frowned, flapped his eyelashes twice, and disapproved all over his face.

"Feng is no longer a child. Diligence is the most important thing. How can he be obsessed with playing."

Translated, this young master is five years old, and Jiu Lianhuan will do it every minute.Other games are a complete waste of time and are disdainful.

Huan Rong was speechless again.

Children, if you continue to be so elite, it will be easy to have no friends.

"Brother wants me to play?" Yuan Feng looked at Huan Rong, as if to say that as long as Huan Rong said, he would definitely do it.

Huan Rong secretly sighed, stroked the top of his hair, and said earnestly: "I just hope you don't get too tired. For the rest, just follow your usual habits, there is no need to deliberately change."

"promise!"

Yuan Feng smiled, held Huan Rong with his chubby little hands, and said: "Brother is good to me, I will remember it!"

In an instant, it was like a cat's paw brushed against my heart, which only made my heart soften.

Huan Rong shook the little hand back, but Yuu felt that it was not enough, so he simply hugged the child in his arms, patted the child on the back, and looked at the sky at a 45-point angle, he is obviously not a fuzzy...

Children are most sensitive to good and evil.

Huan Rong managed to treat each other with sincerity, and Yuan Feng sensed his kindness, and the barrier erected continued to weaken.

As the days of getting along increased, the relationship between the two became better and better.From time to time, Huan Rong could be seen walking around with the child in his arms, or Yuan Feng was walking around grabbing Huan Rong's sleeve.

Everyone saw it, from initial surprise to habit, and then to seeing it as a daily scene, but in just a few days, it can be said that the acceptance was good.

Xun You was still worried, so he wrote to Jia Bing several times. Instead of changing his mind, the latter persuaded him to accept the reality, and hinted in the letter that raising this child would be of great benefit to Huan Rong.

"The Empress Dowager intends to appease the Yuan family, and there are rumors in the palace that she will be named the uncle of the state. Although Yuan Zhen rebelled, the Yuan family's branch still exists, and a concubine stays in the family. Recently, the Yuan family has made a memorial, asking Yuan Feng to return to the family and be raised by the family members. .”

Yuan's intention is obvious, for the gold and silver left by Yuan Zhen, as well as the title conferred by the imperial court.As for Yuan Feng, it's not like letting him rub his hands when he was brought into the Hui family.

Moreover, with the current medical conditions, five-year-old children are extremely likely to die young, and Yuan Feng may not be able to live to adulthood.

Jia Bing's suggestion is to persuade Huan Rong as much as possible, and Yuan Feng should not be allowed to leave no matter what.When necessary, it is completely possible to turn against Yuan Shi.If the other party is entangled, you can directly "beat" the person away.

Not long after the news was delivered, letters from Princess Nankang followed one after another.The letter confirmed that the imperial court had the intention of conferring titles, and said that the reward for Huan Rong was postponed, and instead there was an attempt to weaken it by taking the opportunity.

"There is a demon in Guanghan, who pretends to be the son of Guiyi of the Han Dynasty, and uses the name of the solar eclipse to claim that the court is immoral. He gathers more than ten thousand people to plot rebellion, and his momentum is not small; Liangzhou Assassins. Yi and Liangzhou Assassins envoys come to the table and ask the imperial court to send a large army to attack."

"Someone in the court accuses Shouchun of suppressing the rebellion and wants to take advantage of Youzhou's soldiers. This is tantamount to taking it away. Azi must guard against it!"

After reading the letter, Huan Rong was unexpectedly not angry, but found it funny.

Not to mention the postponement of the award, who will take the lead in borrowing troops can be known without much thought.

With the character of a scumbag, [-]% would not do such a stupid thing.Even if the scumbag father suddenly convulsed, the counselors around him would try to stop it.

After excluding several suspects, combined with the news that Yuan's canonization, the answer is ready to come out.

Queen Mother Chu.

This is seeing that his power has grown too fast, and he intends to take the opportunity to suppress him and take away the fruit by the way?

"It's impossible to treat me like a fool!"

Why do you think it will work?And why do you think he would hand over the state soldiers without saying a word?

Thinking of this, Huan Rong couldn't help but sneer.

"Duke Ming, Your Highness is still in Jiankang." Xun You reminded.

"I know." Huan Rong's voice didn't fluctuate, and the smile on his face was even colder, "If she dares to play against my mother, I will let her know that even if Youzhou is thousands of miles away, even if I have limited power, I can still fight Jian. Kang turned the world upside down!"

Xun You's eyes flickered slightly, and then with a solemn expression, he bowed his hands in salute, and respectfully agreed.

Taihe five years, October

Several heavy rains fell in Huainan, especially in Shouchun. In a few days, the city became almost a whole country.

After the secret passage was opened, the hidden gold was transported out one after another.Half of the silk cloth was destroyed, and the rest was soaked in rainwater. It couldn't be sold in Nandi, so it could only be cleaned and dried in the sun, and shipped to Beidi City for sale.

When counting the hidden gold, Huan Rong took Yuan Feng to see it.He even divided up the gold, silver and jewels in front of him, and collected half of them into the state treasury, and reclassified the rest for his own use.

"Father has something to say, all the gold and silver will be given to brother."

Huan Rong didn't explain, lightly stroked Yuan Feng's hair, and said with a smile: "Even if it is given to me, how to deal with it is up to me."

After finishing the words, he handed over a volume of bamboo slips to Yuan Feng.

"Remember to put it away."

Yuan Feng pursed his lips, and suddenly hugged Huan Rong's leg, almost causing the latter to fall.

"Lang Jun!" The nanny exclaimed in a low voice.

Huan Rong waved his hand, indicating that there is no problem.

"Let go of me first?"

Yuan Feng didn't speak, but used his arms to hug him even tighter.

Huan Rong was helpless, unable to drag the four-headed body to walk, and only waited for him to calm down before bending down to pick him up.

After weighing the weight, Huan Rong deliberately said: "It's heavy again, why don't you see it growing?"

Yuan Feng raised his head and opened his mouth to refute.

Seeing the smile on Huan Rong's face, he opened and closed his mouth, finally lowered his eyes in frustration, puffed up his cheeks, and hugged his neck tightly.

"Brother lied to me."

"No, it's really heavy."

"Liar."

"……All right."

Hearing the child's crying sound, Huan Rong immediately surrendered.

Little did he know that the other party was buried in his arms, his big eyes were bent, and he didn't look like he was crying at all.

Solve the biggest concern, leave half of the gold and silver and five hundred state soldiers, hand over the rebuilding of the city to Wei Qi and Zhou Yan, Huan Rong packs his bags, and sets off to return to Xuyi.

It was autumn harvest, but it rained heavily for days.

Many villagers are still on their way home, so there is no time to collect them.When I returned to the village, I found that most of the rice and wheat were sprouting in the fields, and this year's grain harvest was almost complete.

When he was in despair, news came from Shouchun that Huan's assassin allocated money and food, and hired villagers and refugees to build the city.

As soon as the news came out, no one believed it.

According to the usual practice, laborers must be conscripted to rebuild the city, not to mention giving money and food, it is thankful to take care of one meal a day.The reason why everyone is anxious to return home is that they are afraid of being conscripted into labor.

As a result, the opposite happened. Instead of levying labor, Huan Rong had to hire people with money.

Such a thing is simply unprecedented, it has never been heard of since ancient times, no wonder people don't believe it.

The villagers are still waiting and watching, and some refugees can't survive, so they sign up with the mentality of giving it a try.I thought it would be good to give half a steamed cake, but unexpectedly I got two steamed cakes, a bowl of broth, and even a thick coat that day.

One person is like this, ten people are the same, and hundreds of people are like this.

When the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Looking at the desperate fields, looking at the families waiting to be fed, finally some villagers gritted their teeth and rushed to Shouchun together.

Last time, they were captured by servants, full of anger and despair; this time, they took the initiative to go on the road, in order to save the money and food of the whole family.

"Even if the conscripted husband, as long as the food is given, the family can have a full meal, I will admit it!"

There are not a few people who embrace this kind of thinking.

When they arrived in Shouchun, they saw the notice posted on the wooden board, and after listening to the clerk read it out, they knew that it was not conscription, but real employment, so they all froze on the spot.

Until the clerk recorded his name, pressed the cash register on the paperwork, and followed the team to receive the steamed cake broth, his expression was still stunned, as if he was in a dream, and he couldn't believe it at all.

Since the notice was posted, the officials and the state soldiers did not care much about the villagers who saw such behavior.

The refugees who arrived first finished their day's work and received their wages. They smiled and shook their heads while looking at the villagers.

"A few days ago, we were not as good as them."

unreal.

This is the most intuitive experience for everyone.

Counting down from the previous dynasties, how could there be such a thing, and never had such an official.

Regardless of the lack of money and food, the whole family can survive after all.What's more, the civil servants made it clear that anyone who participated in the construction of the city, as long as they performed well, the state government would distribute additional grain.

It is called the state government office, and everyone knows who actually pays for it.

As a result, Huan Rong's love for the people and benevolence and virtue spread throughout Huainan, and then throughout Youzhou.

This caused a strange phenomenon. Outside of Youzhou, especially in the northern areas controlled by Hu people, it was widely rumored that the governor of Youzhou was tyrannical and tyrannical, and liked to boil people.

After the Northern Expedition, it was even more brutal, killing people and setting fires at every turn.Shouchun City was burned down by him, and then the people were conscripted to serve hard labor, which shows his cruel temperament.

In Youzhou, especially in Shouchun and Xuyi, one counts as the other, and everyone gives a thumbs up when they mention the new assassin. Who dares to say "no" to Huan Rong? add.

Still say?

Believe it or not, young and old, surrounded and kicked!

In the land of overseas Chinese, Hu people often invade the border, so the folk customs are naturally a bit tough.

Even if they didn't before, when Huan Rong took office, he implemented "education" in the prefectures and counties, and the Qin and Han styles gradually revived. Not to mention the Jin people, even the Hu people would be surprised here.

Looking at the man with arms thicker than his own thighs, and the aura of opening a fight at the slightest disagreement, doubts will arise inexplicably.

Is this still a weak Han Chinese?

Not to mention others, but the Qiang tribe who defected to Huan Rong was startled as soon as they entered the city.

The leaders and warriors led their horses and walked down the street, looking at the shops along the street and the people passing by, full of doubts.

According to the conditions proposed by Xun You, the five hundred Qiang people stayed outside the city, and only the leaders and guards were allowed to enter the city.Convinced that the other party is sincerely seeking refuge, he will set up another camp and allow the Qiang people to move in.

Not only Qiang people entered the city, but also servants sent by Qin Jing.According to the agreement between the two, these servants will stay in Youzhou for three months to help Huan Rong train his troops.

Hearing the news, while Huan Rong was happy, he couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.

After looking at the pigeons and goshawks on the shelf, Huan Cishi turned his head, opened the silk cloth and folded it again, and repeated this three times, but he was still unable to write, and finally attracted A Mi's strange glance.

"Lang Jun?"

"fine."

With a sneer, Huan Rong stopped moving.

Disappointed not to see someone, even a little bit missing?

Definitely can't admit it!
