Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 359 Ji! !Good luck! ! !
In Beidi County, a large number of Tang soldiers were stationed in the city near the Great Wall.

The legions in various places can be seen at a glance. The equipment is elite, uniform, and quite the flavor of Qin. It is the northern army of the Han.Those who hold more shields, have a lot of strong crossbow chariots, and are good at guarding, this is the Hexi Army of the Han Dynasty. As for those who are shouting loudly, they look like bandits, they are tall, and they look fierce. Needless to say, this is the army of the Tang state.

The Tang army's combat effectiveness is not the strongest, but it is the most ferocious army of the Han. They are not as good at attacking as the Northern Army, and they are not as good at defending as the Hexi Army, but there is no one they can grab. The Hexi Army can't compare with the sum of it. It can be said that they are digging three feet in the ground, and they will not let anything go.

Tang's army is probably more suitable for generals like Xiang Yu and Liu Chang, but it is not suitable for generals like Zhou Yafu and Zhou Bo.As for Han Xin, anything will do. You can give him a group of Huns, no problem, and you can still fight.

When the chariot surrounded by the soldiers slowly stopped at the gate of the city, several Tang soldiers who were guarding here stepped forward fiercely, with no respect in their eyes. They waved their spears and shouted loudly. Let the groom come down.

"Groom" had a dark face, but he got out of the car obediently.

"This is the captain's frame for your general to come and greet."

"Taiwei? There are too many captains in the big man. Which one are you talking about?"

The soldier asked disdainfully.

"Grand Captain of the Han Dynasty, Marquis of Huaiyin."

Zhou Yafu replied coldly.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and without saying anything, they turned around and went into the city to report.

Watching the soldiers walk in, Zhou Yafu then looked at Han Xin on the chariot. Han Xin seemed to have not noticed the rudeness of these soldiers at all. to train them in the way of the army."

Han Xin shook his head, his face quite disdainful.

Zhou Yafu saw the disdain on his face and said, "The most important thing in a strong army in the world is military discipline. The reason why Qin can destroy all countries is because Qin's military law is strict and its soldiers obey orders, such a fierce and aggressive army. , is not at all the opponent of the strong army, Xun Zi once said."

"Okay. You can save this nonsense to use when writing books in the future."

Han Xin waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Yafu directly.

Zhou Yafu is very depressed, he doesn't know why, the captain seems to be unaccustomed to himself, he is always silent on weekdays, but when facing himself, he is sarcastic and never let go of any one who hits him. Opportunity, no matter what he says, he has to reprimand himself and degrade himself.

Zhou Yafu didn't dare to refute, because he knew that the person in front of him was indeed stronger than him, so he could only hold back his dissatisfaction and hold back the fire.

Han Xin glanced at Zhou Yafu, who had his head lowered, and asked casually, "Have you ever played chess?"

"Ah."

"You haven't played chess at all, you've only been a five pawn. If you've played chess, how can you not know that each piece is useful?"

"The captain said. The Northern Army and the Tang Army can be used in different ways."

Zhou Yafu said thoughtfully, but Han Xin had already stood up, laughed, and got out of the chariot. I don't know when Li Zuoche came with someone, Han Xin smiled and met him, and the two held each other. Zhou Yafu was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw Han Xin being so polite to a person.

Even Father didn't get Han Xin's attention. Could this person know more about the military than Father?

Li Zuoche was already gray-haired at this moment, and his smile was extraordinarily kind. At this moment, he could no longer go to the battlefield in person. Many times, he would formulate strategies in the rear and let the generals implement them by themselves. Li Zuoche and Zhou Bo are different. Yes, Li Zuoche was good at formulating strategies and tactics, while Zhou Bo was good at leading troops to fight.

The two old friends met, everyone was happy, and went into the city with a smile. Zhou Yafu was ignored again.

However, at this moment, Zhou Yafu is no longer depressed, but Han Xin's question is still looping in his mind: Have you ever played chess?
Sitting in the mansion, the two ate tea and talked about the situation outside the Great Wall.

"After the Xiongnu retreated, some tribes that were originally in Liaodong and farther north occupied their homeland. Dingling, the defeated general of the Xiongnu's original command, wanted to occupy Longcheng, saying that they wanted to inherit the position of Dachanyu and integrate all of them. The tribes of the people are in chaos right now, and they are fighting everywhere. At present, the Tang Kingdom has built four cities, which are located in "

Li Zuoche seriously explained the situation outside the Great Wall to Han Xin to Yutu.

The Xiongnu Empire fell apart, and there were many forces on the grasslands who wanted to inherit the empire’s legacy and become the next hegemon on the grasslands, but among these people, they probably couldn’t find a second ruthless man like Motun, and they just kept fighting. , Tang Guo also took the opportunity to make trouble, and constantly expanded his influence.

According to the current situation, the two bosses talked about the future situation outside the Great Wall. They predicted that Ding Ling would go south and fight with the tribes such as Fuyu from the northeast. , the location of the city to be built in the future, how to cut and control the flow of land and water outside the plug
Zhou Yafu widened his eyes and listened very seriously.

"Taiwei, I don't understand why this place is far from the Great Wall and there are no other tribes to build a city here in the first place"

Zhou Yafu couldn't help but ask.

"Water source, upstream."

Han Xin didn't turn his head, just said a word, and continued to talk with Li Zuoche. Li Zuoche looked at Zhou Yafu. Li Zuoche knew this young man, but he didn't expect that this young man would actually Being valued by Han Xin, he looked at the young man, took advantage of the gap in the conversation, smiled and said to Han Xin, "Congratulations to the captain, for being a sage!"

"Huh? You mean him?"

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Zhou Yafu, he shook his head disdainfully, and said, "Impossible, I don't have such a stupid disciple."

After Han Xin finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, realized that what he said was wrong, and corrected: "I do have a very stupid disciple, but not him."

Li Zuoche obviously didn't believe what he said. If he didn't take it seriously, it would be impossible to bring him to his side and give him advice at any time. Chang Liu didn't have this kind of treatment. Of course, Chang Liu couldn't sit still. Han Xin wanted him to Stay by your side, ah, before you teach Chang Liu, you will be pissed to death first. Can he sit and listen so obediently?Long gone.

However, Han Xin was reluctant to talk too much about this topic. After the two negotiated a series of strategic ideas for the future outside the Great Wall, Han Xin asked Zhou Yafu to prepare food, and he started chatting with Li Zuoche about other things. .

"Master, I think Yafu is very good. Although he is still a little immature, he is still young."

"It's just the capital of the middle and upper class."

Han Xin said: "I happen to have a person who is familiar with the situation outside the Great Wall, is proficient in the language here, and is a Xiongnu himself. If you use him as an ambassador, it will probably be very helpful for your next strategy."

Han Xin gave an order, and someone brought in the person Han Xin said.

This, of course, is the great witch, grid.

Greg's eyes were full of sadness, but he didn't dare to show it. He forced out a smile, for fear of angering the people in front of him, with a cautious look.

Li Zuoche looked at him and asked, "Are you familiar with the situation outside the Great Wall?"

"Really familiar."

"How many languages ​​do you speak?"

"Basically, all the ministries outside the Great Wall can speak, but they are not very fluent."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Li Zuoche nodded, "You can serve as Tang's envoy."

Ge hesitated, looking at Han Xin beside him in despair.

Li Zuoche frowned and asked, "Why, don't you want to?"

Ge hesitated for a long time before he summoned up his courage and said, "Captain, you promised me that when we defeat Ji Porridge, you will let me go back and farm with peace of mind."

Han Xin nodded, "Okay, then you can go."

Ge was stunned, "Where am I going?"

"Go wherever you want. I won't force others to do things for me. If you want to farm with peace of mind, then go."

Han Xin waved his hand and looked at Li Zuoche, "Let's find someone else to do this."

The two of them didn't pay any attention to Ge, and Ge bowed to the two of them, walked cautiously towards the outside, full of fear, walked past the two soldiers, and walked out of the mansion, at that moment, he only felt His whole body seemed to lighten, he turned around, looked at the mansion, and once again possessed himself to worship.

Grid decided to stay in Northland County.

The climate here is not much different from that of Ge's hometown. At the same time, the area is sparsely populated, and Ge doesn't like places that are too lively.

After walking out of the county government mansion alone, Ge felt a little confused, alone, and didn't even know where to go.

He circled aimlessly in the county town for a few times, and finally stopped in a restaurant.

"guest!"

The shopkeeper came out with a smile, and when he saw Ge, he immediately changed his language and called him in Hun, and Ge replied, "It's fine if you speak Tang language."

"Haha, I thought the guest just came to Tang country. Listening to the guest's words, he came from Jinyang?"

The store owner was very enthusiastic, and invited Ge to come in. In the restaurant, there were many customers at the moment, some were burying their heads in eating, and some were chatting loudly when they saw the unfamiliar face of Ge, and they watched more After a few glances, they chatted again.

"What do the guests want to eat? I have the best meat chickens, pigs, dogs, and sheep here."

Ge groped for the coins on his body, got it in his hand, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I don't have enough money."

"What the guests said, the money is enough to eat meat here for a month!"

Grid was stunned for a moment, "The meat here is so cheap?"

"Haha, Tang's meat is not expensive at all."

"I know, but it wasn't like this before."

"There are many pastures and many cattle and sheep, and now it is not allowed to hoard food and meat, and the price of meat will naturally drop. What will the guests eat?"

Greg ordered one of the famous foods in their store. Looking at the sumptuous meal on the case, Greg couldn't help laughing, "You guys have a lot of tricks here, and I have never heard of many of them."

"Hey, guests, it's different now. There are so many people coming to the restaurant, and there are also many restaurants. Just like before, you can get some food at will, and the customers don't want it. Now this restaurant is not easy to open. It's this cook, and it costs [-] yuan a month."

Ge chatted with the store for a long time, and found that he couldn't finish eating, and invited the guests who were chatting in the distance to eat together. They were not restrained, they sat beside Ge, thanked him for his kindness, and then continued to chat. These People are still very curious about the character. They look like Huns, but they speak with a Jinyang accent, but they are very unfamiliar with the customs of the Tang Kingdom. Who is this person?
Grid didn't say much about his past, but just asked, "I want to live here, but I don't know what to do?"

"Then you have to go to the county office first and apply for household registration here. Where is your original household registration?"

"I don't have a household registration yet."

"Ah, then how did you get in?"

"I came with the army."

Several people immediately understood and came up with their own ideas, "Go to the county government first and apply for household registration. The house here is not expensive. If you are alone, you can buy a small one first. If you have nothing to do, the county government will help you arrange it. of"

After eating and drinking, Ge happily said goodbye to them. Considering that Ge was not familiar with the local area, one of the diners decided to lead the way.

Ge Fangcai came from the county government office, but Han Xin and the others were in the backyard of the county government office, but Ge was going to work in the front hall this time.

"Where are you from?"

"Huns."

"What is your name?"

"grid."

"surname?"

Ge pondered for a long time and said, "Witch."

"What's your specialty?"

"I am proficient in divination, and can estimate good and bad luck. I have calculated the future for many big people. I am proficient in the divination methods of the Xiongnu, the great Han, and even the Western Regions."

The official listened for a moment, then nodded and wrote on the register: "No specialties."

Immediately, he measured his height and other information. In the end, he was required to provide a witness and a certificate of the original household registration. With a sound, the officials immediately arranged an identity for him.

"Wuge, a native of Maling County, Beidi County, Tang Country, a farmer, seven feet six inches tall."

Ge walked out of the county office, holding the test in his hand, and could no longer hide the smile on his face.The guest had been waiting outside the door all the time, and when he saw the grid coming out, he smiled and went forward to congratulate, the two walked and chatted, "It's better now, if it was in the past, if you want to do this, you have to be busy for at least a year or two, Sometimes, they won't do it for you at all."

"It's not allowed to go out at all, and it's not allowed to transfer household registration. Now there are not so many restrictions. With this, you can go wherever you want in Dahan, and you don't have to worry at all. Now you don't have to be punished by Jiang Yang and you don't have to meet the pavilion chief. scared."

"Our King Tang is a saint. After he ascends the throne, it is much easier for us to do whatever we want."

After this person blew the king, he no longer covered his thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother, to be honest, I am actually responsible for buying and selling houses and renting houses in the city. There are many people who come and go, and the houses are sold. It's not like it used to be. I can contact you about any room you want, and I won't ask you too much. You can see if you are satisfied. If you are satisfied, a hundred dollars will be enough."

Ge was not angry either. Under his leadership, Ge saw several houses and finally decided to buy a courtyard in a place in the south of the city.

It is also very convenient to buy a courtyard. After paying the money, Ge took the title deed, looked for Lizheng here, made a testimony, handed over his own test, and it took only one day for Lizheng to record himself in the household registration here. He successfully settled in Maling County and became a real Tang Chinese.

The next day, the county government came to the official again to check his residence, and then asked him what he thought next. Do you need land?
"Let's go here. There is a subsidy for entering the household. If you plan to farm here for a long time, you can be given a first-level title and distributed [-] mu of land. However, you will be able to harvest all the [-] mu of land for three years. You have to pay [-]%. After three years, the [-] acres of land will be yours, and you can pay it according to normal taxes.”

"But I don't have enough money now for food"

"It's okay, it won't make you hungry to farm. Ranglizheng will provide you with a copy of your family's assets. If you can't afford to eat, the county government will give you a subsidy, and you will receive it once every two weeks."

"Grain seeds and farm tools are to be applied for. The cattle are allocated and used by the insiders themselves. You have to contact them yourself."

The attitude of the officials was not very good. They were very cold from beginning to end. After explaining the matter, they left quickly, but Kege was not affected by his indifferent attitude. He just felt very happy. All this, It wasn't as difficult as he thought.

Soon, Ge had his own land, with a full [-] acres, which happened to be the farmland of a big Han family.

He visited the neighbors around him and quickly became acquainted with them. Every morning, the neighbors brought him food from time to time, all worried that he was a bachelor and could not cook well and eat well. With a hoe on his back, he followed the neighbors. They walked out the door and started busy in the farmland not far away.

The sun hangs high, exuding endless heat.

Grid stood in the cultivated field, his whole body was red from the sun, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

Just as he was busy cultivating, a crisp call suddenly came in front of him.

"Would you like to drink some water?"

Grid raised her head, the eldest daughter of the neighbor's house was standing not far away at the moment, holding a pot of water in her hand. Her skin was a little rough, her hands were big, but her smile was very beautiful. At this moment, she was also looking at it generously Grabbing, he raised the pot in his hand towards him.

Ge stretched out his hand, blocking the sunlight above his eyes, and looked at the woman in front of him seriously, with a happy smile on his face.

"Okay."

On that day, Ge put away the stones he used for divination. He felt that he would never use these things in the future.

"Your Majesty! Please cook without any doubt!!!"

Zhou Chang's whole body trembled with anger, his eyes widened, and the crutches in his hand kept hitting the ground.

"Imperial examinations, it's a major event for the country, how could Zhang Budo be so messed up?!"

"He actually asked the candidates to write your achievements, and calculate their grades according to this?!"

"Is he choosing talent for the country or choosing a favorite for you?!"

Liu Chang cleared his throat, "Zhang Budo said, this is just one of the assessments, and it's not just to use this to decide."

"That's not going to work! Does Your Majesty want a group of villains who can only walk and beat horses?! Your Majesty brags about his achievements all day long, saying that his merits far exceed Yao and Shun. Does this sound like what the Holy King said?! Now Your Majesty is again If you are going to select talents in this way, you are not selecting talents! This is just because Your Majesty wants to listen to others to flatter you! How can Your Majesty use public affairs to satisfy your own selfish desires?!"

Liu Chang muttered displeasedly: "This is not decided by the widow."

"Besides, I do have credit."

"In this world, there will definitely be people who have lived very well because of the merits of the few."

ps: Some readers said that they hoped that I could write about the changes of Dahan from the perspective of ordinary people, so I wrote about the bottom-level situation of Dahan from the perspective of grid. I don’t know if you like it or not. You can also write about big men from other perspectives, such as the people of Nanyue, the merchants of Zhao State, and the like.If everyone feels bad, then continue to write around the king.
