The woman was startled again, and then with a smile all over her face, she said sincerely: "Mr. Gu has benefited the village. Your inspection station is really a great merit."

At this time, Zheng Guanyin spoke in a warm voice, and asked carefully: "Ben... I am very curious about the expenses of patrolling the small station, but unfortunately my brother-in-law pretends to be mysterious and doesn't want to tell you directly, but since he brought us here to ask you, I think you can Explain what's going on here."

The woman suddenly smiled, nodded and said: "So what you are curious about is this. Any commoner can say something. The reason why those soldiers don't need to give soldiers more is because they will eat at our common people's home." .”

Zheng Guanyin was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled and said: "So what?"

Gu Tianya chuckled next to him, and said: "It means that all the soldiers' money can be saved without spending any money. When they are stationed at the inspection station, the local people will provide them with two meals a day. You don’t need to pay for food and drink, you can eat wherever you go..."

Zheng Guanyin immediately turned around, fixed her eyes on Gu Tianya, and blurted out: "You are drinking people's blood!"

Unexpectedly, the woman quickly opened her mouth and said in a hurry: "Why is this drinking people's blood? We can't wait for it! If any family can have patrol soldiers to eat, the other women in the village will almost die of envy."

Zheng Guanyin stood there dumbfounded.

I only heard the woman say again: "Although the inspecting soldiers eat for free, they bring their own food when they come to eat at home. To put it bluntly, they just use our stove. We help them cook with Their food, after the meal is ready, our whole family can eat and drink together, where can we find such a beautiful thing?"

She stopped here for some reason, her face suddenly flushed for some reason, her voice became softer, as if shy, and she continued: "After those soldiers have eaten at home, according to the rules, they have to work for the house. There are too many widows in Hebei, and some of the hard work can't be done at all. Moreover, the children in the family are also looking forward to the arrival of the soldiers, and feel like they have a father..."

The three princesses felt sore in their hearts.

It was only then that they remembered that Hebei Road had always been a place short of men. For these widowed women, it was a kind of sustenance for the occasional man to appear in the family.

So, this is good governance.

But Zheng Guanyin still frowned, stared at Gu Tianya again and asked again, "You said just now that soldiers' food and salaries can be saved, so where does the food they bring to the people's homes come from? Each soldier has at least two meals a day , isn’t that a huge expense?”

As expected of Li Jiancheng's hand-in-hand wife, every issue she cares about is on point.

Gu Tianya showed his face and smiled, and said with deep meaning: "The post soldiers worked so hard, patrolling the place to frighten Xiaoxiao, sheltering one side, everyone benefited, because the people were too poor, even if they benefited, they could not repay them, but what about the rich? What about the aristocratic family? ? You have to make fun of it, it’s not too much to take out some food.”

Zheng Guanyin suddenly realized, his eyes brightened, and he said sincerely: "So that's how it is."

At this time, Princess Changsun suddenly heard the words, and said with worry: "This move looks good, but there are also hidden dangers. After a long time, will the pawns be bought by the aristocratic family?"

She said, glanced at Gu Tianya, and said, "Even if you don't get bribed, it will breed greed. For example, after a hundred years, who can guarantee that this system will still be good? Now this system looks good because of you and me. Zhaoning sits in town, but what about in the future? Maybe the leader who sits in the town is the biggest greed..."

Gu Tianya nodded, and said solemnly: "Everything has two sides. It's good at this time, and it's cancerous at that time. So after discussing with Zhaoning, I made precautions against this kind of thing in advance. Every six months, the postman They will be transferred to each other. For example, Miyun County belongs to the frontier, and the postmen at the post station belong to the northern soldiers. After half a year, these postmen will be directly transferred to the southernmost county in Hebei, and then the next time they change defense, they will be transferred to the easternmost county. Since I'm not familiar with the place of life, even if someone wants to buy them, but a little calculation will find it's worthless, because the postmen can only be stationed for half a year, and there is no chance to consolidate one side..."

Zheng Guanyin spoke suddenly, and suggested: "It's better to include the station chief in the transfer, otherwise the transfer of soldiers will not achieve much effect."

Gu Tianya suddenly pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "Even I, the instigator, will have to change defense after five months. Although Gujia Village is my hometown, I can only look at my hometown and sigh after five months."

The implication is that he answered Zheng Guanyin's proposal. He is the head of the station, and he has been working for a month. After another five months, it will be exactly half a year, so he has to follow the rules and leave the Gu family. Village inn to go elsewhere.

The three royal family members were stunned. Yang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, and hurriedly said, "How can that be? You are different from others."

Gu Tianya looked serious, and said solemnly: "If even I am not willing to obey, how can I ask others to obey?"

Yang's face was still eager, and said again: "Sister Xiuning is pregnant, are you willing to leave her in Gu's Village? Even if you are willing, is Miss Xiuning willing?"

Gu Tianya suddenly looked up at the sky, and it took a long time before he slowly opened his mouth and said, "The aristocratic family and the royal family agreed that I would not be allowed to enter the court for the rest of my life, but they also gave a little concession and kept my post as postmaster. , so in this life, my biggest official position is this."

He said as if laughing at himself, and said: "Zhaoning knows my dream, she doesn't want me to have regrets, so she supports me..."

The three royal family members were all taken aback. For some reason, they always felt that these words were a bit hidden, like an excuse, but in fact they had other deep meanings.

They came to Hebei this time, each with different goals, Gu Tianya also knew it well, but they were both keeping silent.

That's why Gu Tianya took them on a tour of the market, explaining the various systems of the station, but in fact, everyone is smart and they don't want to touch some sensitive topics.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a woman walking quickly, with a handsome face, it was General Xiaoqing of the Detachment of Women.

She first bowed to the three royal family members, and then said apologetically: "My princess suffers from morning sickness, so she can't come to greet the three in person. Xiaorou is serving at home, so there is no way to greet them, so the servants can only come." Then, please ask the three nobles to make amends..."

The three concubines chuckled suddenly, and among them, the eldest grandson concubine pretended to be stunned and said: "I was just wondering why I didn't see Xiuning for so long. She is so knowledgeable and sensible, how could she do such a disrespectful thing? It turned out to be morning sickness. This is the first hurdle in a woman's house."

Yang's joked again and again, he said: "The third brother-in-law is really amazing, he did a big thing without getting married, hehe, this is the first time for the whole royal family's relatives."

Both Concubine Changsun and Concubine Yang of Qi Wang are trying their best to mention family ties. After all, as royal family members, this is the purpose of their coming to Hebei.

But Gu Tianya took the opportunity to get away, and said with a smile: "If Xiaoqing comes to pick me up, I won't be with you anymore. Zhaoning has really suffered from morning sickness for a while, and even her temper has changed a lot. It just so happens that your sister-in-law Hey, you can take care of me..."

He paused while talking, then suddenly cupped his hands towards Princess Changsun and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Then he arched his hands towards Yang Shi, and said: "Wife, sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Only on the face was Zheng Guanyin, his complexion became serious, and he said: "May sister-in-law speak alone, younger brother has something to say."

His words startled everyone.

Although there is no defense against men and women in this era, it is still inappropriate for sister-in-law and brother-in-law to be alone. Gu Tianya suddenly made such a request, strictly speaking, it is disrespectful.

Fortunately, Zheng Guanyin smiled slightly, and said suddenly: "I just happen to have something to tell you."

Concubine Changsun was ice-snow and smart, she stretched out her hand to hold Yang Shi, and said with a smile: "Let's go to Xiuning first, and just give her your swaddling baby."

Yang Shi is also not a silly girl, she nodded happily in a very cooperative manner.

Xiaoqing bowed to Gu Tianya and Zheng Guanyin, turned around and left with the two princesses.

Gu Tianya watched their backs from afar, and turned his head only when he could no longer see them. At this moment, his face became more solemn, and he suddenly raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the village. It looked like he was going to a secluded place.

Zheng Guanyin was slightly taken aback, and after a little hesitation, he raised his heels.

Gu Tianya walked all the way, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived outside the village. It was the big river, which was frozen at this time. Because of the wide field of vision, it is difficult to hide people within fifty steps, and the cold wind blows by the river, so few Someone is coming.

Great for conversation.

Zheng Guanyin is a woman like an orchid in an empty valley, and she already vaguely guessed Gu Tianya's intentions in her heart, but she still spoke softly, pretending not to know, and said: "My brother-in-law specially called me here, could it be that there is some secret to tell?"

Gu Tianya didn't shy away from it, and nodded to her directly.

But his tone was obviously a little nervous, and he even had some fear. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said: "Before I say anything, I want to ask something first, sister-in-law, can you tell me how my elder brother is doing recently? "

Zheng Guanyin's complexion turned pale, and the circles of her eyes were foggy, but she insisted on smiling softly, and said in a gentle voice: "He is so strong, he won't fall down easily, the imperial doctor diagnosed him with three years to live, so he insisted on taking three years." After living, even though he often coughed up blood, he kept smiling at his life, and he told me that he was not afraid..."

Gu Tianya roared suddenly, as if he didn't want to listen to this, but he just opened his eyes angrily and said, "I'm asking how is his health recently?"

This is simply an extremely disrespectful act, not at all like the calm and unusual Gu Tianya.

Zheng Guanyin obviously stood on the spot in a daze, and subconsciously replied: "He coughs up blood and coughs every day, but he insists on taking medicine, and the cough is not too severe..."

"Fortunately!"

Gu Tianya let out a long breath.

It wasn't until this moment that he bowed his hands and saluted, and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back just now, so I started yelling."

Zheng Guanyin smiled gently, and said: "I am very grateful that you can do this. This shows that you care about your elder brother very much. You are indeed the good brother-in-law he admires most."

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, as if turning a deaf ear to these compliments, instead he suddenly changed the subject, and said in a thoughtless way: "Soldiers at the post station are changed every six months, those who are the most northern in Hebei are transferred to the southernmost, Transfer to the westernmost point, and as the head of the post station, I also have to abide by this rule..."

Zheng Guanyin's pretty face was puzzled, and she couldn't figure out why he said this all of a sudden, but after all, she was very intelligent, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "I see, so it's you because of your elder brother!"

"Not bad!"

Gu Tianya nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "After half a year, I will go to the southernmost part of Hebei, and after another half year, I will go to the most eastern part. According to this transfer method, I will change places every six months until the sixth transfer. At that time, my post station should be in the southwest of Hebei."

Zheng Guanyin nodded repeatedly, and said: "The southwest direction of Hebei Road is the closest place in Hebei to Chang'an. If you go fast on horseback, you can get there in three days."

Gu Tianya let out a 'hmm', and then said slowly: "I have let the wind out in advance, and soon everyone will know the rules for the transfer of postmen of the Detachment of Women, and as the postmaster, I should be rewarded for following the rules. I have been mobilized six times in a row before I approached Chang'an. This matter lasted for three full years. No one can see through my intentions. Although you can see through, sister-in-law, it is because I specifically reminded you..."

Zheng Guanyin's tone became a little hasty, and she couldn't help but said: "You have worked so hard, and the layout is so far away, what is the meaning behind it? Why do you want to approach Chang'an?"

In fact, she already had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it directly, she was afraid that her guess was just a fantasy, which would make her even more disappointed.

But Gu Tianya suddenly smiled, and looked at the frozen river in front of him with his hands behind his back. Although he only said a soft sound, it sounded like thunder on the ground to Zheng Guanyin's ears.

He only heard him say: "I found a man who looks exactly like my elder brother."

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "I have a younger sister who is a Taoist wonder, she told me that my elder brother doesn't have to die..."

Zheng Guanyin is so intelligent, only these two sentences can already hear countless hidden meanings.

But seeing the delicate body of the princess trembling, she suddenly covered her small mouth with tears in her eyes, and said, "Find someone to replace your elder brother? Secretly replace him? Did you? Did you? Brother-in-law, you didn't lie, did you? Everything you said It's all true, right?"

Gu Tianya smiled, turned to look at her and said, "So I have to transfer six times in a row."

……

... This chapter is a super big chapter with more than 6000 words. Today, my youngest daughter has a fever and is crying, so the landscape can't be updated, but I still post a two-in-one two-in-one, and the number of words exceeds many authors.I beg everyone to understand, my child is only over one year old, I can't calm down when listening to her crying, I can only wait for the child to heal before I release it to everyone, I am sorry.

Chapter 121 [Three years later, I will bring my cavalry into Chang'an]

I Have a Backstage in Datang Chapter 121 of the main text volume [Three years later, I will take an iron cavalry into Chang'an] with a plop.

Zheng Guanyin fell to his knees in the snow.

A majestic princess, and also the eldest sister-in-law of the royal family, no one could believe that she actually knelt down and kowtowed to her brother-in-law.

What's even more strange is that Gu Tianya didn't evade, but with a serious expression on his face, he accepted Zheng Guanyin's kowtow.

One is sister-in-law.

One is brother-in-law.

One person kowtowed.

One person bears it.

Bang, a ringing head.

Bang, another ringing head.

Bang, another ring...

From the beginning to the end, the two remained silent, the one who kowtowed was willing, and the one who received it took it for granted.

It wasn't until Zheng Guanyin was about to kowtow for the tenth time that Gu Tianya stopped him suddenly, saying in a difficult voice, "Sister-in-law, that's enough."

Zheng Guanyin's body froze immediately, her pretty face turned pale, her eye circles were red and she asked, "Am I only allowed to knock nine times?"

Gu Tianya nodded, sighed and said, "Little brother can only accept your thanks nine times, and I will never take the tenth kowtow. If sister-in-law is unwilling to agree, I can give you back the nine kowtows just now..."

What she said was nonsensical, but Zheng Guanyin's face was miserable. She raised her head subconsciously, with deep loss in her eyes, and said bitterly: "Are you only willing to keep nine people? You can obviously keep more people."

Seeing her like this, Gu Tianya felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he held on to his heart and said: "Five sons and four daughters, there can only be nine, and one more is not acceptable."

As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Guanyin, and said solemnly, "It is already my best ability to keep nine children. If I continue to look around in Shu, I may not be able to keep any of them."

"No!"

Zheng Guanyin was obviously unwilling to give up, and hurriedly said: "If you can keep it, you will definitely be able to keep it! As long as the Women's Army can march straight in after three years, they will definitely be able to protect the entire Prince's Mansion with their strength!"

Gu Tianya let out a long sigh, shook his head bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, you are a smart person, you should know that the Detachment of Women must never approach Chang'an."

With just this sentence, Zheng Guanyin's complexion suddenly turned ashen.

She fell to the ground with blank eyes.

The snow on the ground was cold, but the fear in her heart was colder.

There was deep disappointment in her eyes, and suddenly tears rolled down her eyes, as if she was muttering to herself: "Yes, the Detachment of Women must not act rashly. If you act rashly, everything will stop."

Gu Tianya sighed again, and said: "Once the Women's Army approaches Chang'an, it will definitely cause panic. The aristocratic family is so vigilant, they will immediately withdraw their hands, and the Li family has been planning for a long time, looking forward to this battle. The aristocratic family can't afford to lose. The family must be moved..."

Zheng Guanyin still sat down on the ground, continued to murmur blankly, and said: "Yes, I can't afford to lose. Your elder brother has endured for more than seven years for this plan. He bet his reputation. On his own future, he was not a prince at that time, and he was not terminally ill at that time, but he had already decided to sacrifice himself to let the Li family get rid of the countless debts of the family. If I beg you now, let you and Zhaoning go out The Detachment of Women, that will destroy his plan and make him feel that life is worse than death."

This is a knot that no one can untie.

If the Detachment of Women is dispatched three years later, it is true that the Prince's Mansion can be saved in the fight, but if the Detachment of Women wants to respond in time, they have to advance to the vicinity of Chang'an.

Once the army is deployed in this era, it is difficult to hide from the eyes of those who are interested. The aristocratic family will definitely find out, and the Tiance Mansion will also be vigilant. At that time, the two parties will hesitate, and the Li family's plan may come to naught.

Therefore, the Women's Army must not approach Chang'an.

Only in this way can the two sides have no worries, and when the time comes, they will fight and achieve the grand plan that Li Jiancheng has been planning for seven years.

For this grand plan, many people have to make sacrifices.

Gu Tianya suddenly said again: "There is one more thing, sister-in-law, we must keep it top secret, and we must not leak a little bit of information. For example, on my side, even Zhaoning will hide it, otherwise, with her heart, she will be desperate Sending out the army, in that case, it is still bad..."

He paused as he spoke, looked at Zheng Guanyin, and said: "As for you, sister-in-law, you have to keep your mouth shut. Even when you are facing my elder brother, you must not reveal the slightest bit."

Zheng Guanyin was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Why do you even hide it from your elder brother?"

Gu Tianya said Chang'an, and said bitterly: "If you don't hide it from him, is he willing to retreat in the face of the battle? He has already decided to sacrifice himself, so he let go of everything. If he knows that he can live, and his Those guards died for him, and with the honesty of the eldest brother, he is likely to do some bad things, for example, he will disperse the guards, and this will arouse the vigilance of the family."

Zheng Guanyin blurted out, and said: "Those guards are the soldiers of the family, and the Li family's plan is to wipe out the family's military power."

Gu Tianya glanced at her, and said with a wry smile: "The guards I'm talking about are not those guards that the aristocratic family put together their forces!"

Zheng Guanyin woke up immediately, and said: "I understand, the two thousand loyal guards in the Prince's Mansion you mentioned."
