Chapter 524 What I Can Give You!
Ji Town, Dongping Street, Liu Mansion.

Because of Liu Ying's power in the once luxurious Liu Mansion, ordinary people are not allowed to pass through the streets in front of the door, and the domineering Liu Ying is not even allowed to open shops on both sides of the street.

The reason is to prevent others from spying on military secrets.

As for why those merchants were forced to move out or resold to the general's mansion at a low price under the persecution of General Liu Ying, but the servants of General Liu Ying's mansion took over those shops, not to mention opening a medicine store.

Even restaurants and tea houses were opened, and General Liu Ying didn't say anything about military secrets.

That's another story.

However, the current Liu Mansion has changed owners. After taking over Ji Town, Yuan Tan first used it as his temporary residence.

After the government office of General Jizhen was vacated, it was relocated there.

And the Liu Mansion was vacant, and the current owner of the Liu Mansion was a nobleman from Ye City.

Anyway, according to the people who lived near Liu's mansion in recent days, this nobleman used to be a first-class official in the court, but he is now the prime minister's confidant and adviser.

It's just that I don't know why I resigned from the official position, but came to this Ji Town to find the leader Qihou.

There are rumors in the market, some say that the prime minister is worried that Qi Hou has too much power in the foreign army, so he sent this confidant to be the supervisor of the army.

It is said that the prime minister was worried that Qi Hou was too young to make mistakes, so he sent this confidant to advise Qi Hou.

There are different opinions.

But when people saw it, this nobleman had lived in the Liu Mansion for more than half a month.

But Qi Hou never saw the messenger once.

The original intention of spreading gossip also faded away.

After all, the biggest news in Ji Town now is the land equalization order that is in full swing.

Although because of the news of Wuhuan going south, the promotion of the Land Equalization Order has been temporarily slowed down.

But the vacant unowned fields around Ji Town have been distributed first, and a group of soldiers have already obtained the title deeds.

It is said that when they got the land deed and saw their handprints on the land deed with their own eyes, many hard-working men shed tears.

Even the soldiers who had not yet been assigned a field were crying.

Which of the men who join the army these days really has such an ambition to kill the enemy for the country?

Most of them are still throwing food in the land. They really can't survive, and they will take this road when they have to.

And Yuan Tan also took advantage of this to completely control the morale of the soldiers of Ji Town in his hands.

If anyone wants to attack Yuan Tan now, these soldiers of Ji Town, especially those who have not been allocated fields, will definitely fight to the death for Yuan Tan!
If Qi Hou is gone, who will divide the land for them?
At this moment, according to the rumors in the market, the noble man who came from Yecheng and shouldered the great trust of the prime minister was also Jushou who came to join Yuan Tan at the order of the Patriarch.

He was sitting peacefully under a pine tree in the courtyard, holding a scroll of letters in his hand, and was reading with great interest.

But the book boy who came to Yecheng with him was much more impatient than the calm master.

Seeing that more than half a month had passed, Qi Hou hadn't even seen his master's face, the book boy couldn't help but wander around in the courtyard anxiously.

Going all the way to Jushou couldn't take it anymore, when he put down the letter and looked up at him, the little book boy finally stopped.

"Ju'an, you turn around there, can you turn Qihou around? I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Jushou said, looking at his book boy angrily and funny.

Seeing that the master finally took care of him, Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly: "Master, the master told us before he came, we must convey our family's meaning to Qihou, but now Qihou doesn't even see us face to face. , Could it be that you don’t want to give our Ju family a life?”

Although he is a servant of the master in name, Ju An is different from other servants in that he is the son of the Ju family.

He and the Ju family are co-prosperous entities, so they are naturally worried about the safety of the Ju family.

The Ju family is not living a good life, and his Ju'an will not have any good fruit to eat, so how can he not be worried?

Ju Shou sneered when he heard the words, and said: "You little book boy, you have a lot of eyes, don't think about it here, if you have this skill, why don't you make a cup of tea for me, come and go, and don't be an eyesore in front of me."

Seeing that Ju An hadn't left, Ju Shou sighed helplessly, and said, "What kind of person is Qi Hou? If he really doesn't want to see me, he can directly find a guard to send a message, or directly send you My master and servant drove them out, could it be that we two scholars who are powerless can still deal with Qi Hou's personal guards?"

Hearing Ju Shou's words, Ju An was taken aback.

Ju Shou said slowly: "Since Qi Hou didn't drive us away, it means that Qi Hou still has the intention to talk to us, but what to talk about and how to talk about it depends on what Qi Hou wants. We only have to obey orders."

"Yes, but aren't our Ju family and the Yuan family both prosperous and suffering?" Ju An originally heard Ju Shou say that Yuan Tan was still willing to talk, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But after hearing what Ju Shou said in the second half, it seemed that the Ju family could only obey Yuan Tan's arrangements and could not resist at all, but his heart was cold again, and he couldn't help asking.

Jushou nodded, shook his head again, shook his index finger and said: "One is prosperous, the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged. This is a good saying, but the relationship cannot be seen so simply. Our four families in Hebei are like branches and leaves growing on a big tree. The same, if the branches and leaves fall, will the big tree wither?"

Ju An subconsciously shook his head.

Jushou smiled lightly: "When the branches and leaves fall, the big tree will only look depressed. As long as no one cuts it down, new branches and leaves will grow again when the spring breeze passes next year, but if the big tree falls, our branches and leaves will have nowhere to live. "

Seeing confusion appearing in Ju An's eyes, Ju Shou was powerless to support his forehead, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what are you going to do with the master telling you these things, you go and make a cup of tea for the master, don't be an eyesore in front of me, go and go."

Only then did Ju An nod repeatedly, and quickly turned around to make tea in the room, but just walked out of the courtyard, and turned back after a while.

Seeing Ju An come back here again, Ju Shou became more and more helpless, if it wasn't for the fact that the book boy had been with him for almost ten years, he would have scolded him directly.

But when Jushou raised his head and saw the visitor beside Juan, Jushou got up quickly, bowed and said, "I don't think that you will come in person, Jushou is far away to welcome you."

After Ju An led Yuan Tan the way, he also knew that he could not listen to the following conversation.

Quickly brewed new tea for the two of them, and left.

Yuan Tan glanced at Ju Shou with a half-smile, and he came much earlier than Ju Shou thought.

As early as when Ju Shou was talking about tree trunks and leaves, he had already walked to the courtyard.

After all, he arranged the doorman of this mansion, if he didn't speak, who would dare to inform Jushou?

However, what Jushou said made Yuan Tangao take a look at Jushou. After all, he was one of the four Hebei advisers, and Tian Feng was tied for the first echelon of Hebei advisers.

The knowledge is indeed extraordinary.

Looking at Jushou, who was nearly 40 years old, Yuan Tan said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, sir. When I came, I didn't ask the servants to inform me. Seriously, I was rude."

As Yuan Tan said, he picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and then looked at Jushou, without any further delay, he said straight to the point: "I won't be polite to Mr. Jushou, I have already understood the reason for your visit. , is nothing more than asking me, what is the road for the family, and I can tell you today."

Yuan Tan got up slowly, pointed to the direction of the Northland outside the courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "Beyond the Great Wall, the grassland, this is the new road I prepared for the aristocratic family."
