after being kidnapped by the general

Yuan Li washed off the blood on his body and changed into clean and tidy clothes.

During the whole process, he was very calm.

If you want to survive in this world, if you want to gain a foothold step by step, and achieve your goals, you can't do without killing people.

It was just a few severely injured people who should be punished. Their screams and blood were not enough to shake Yuanli's will.

In the afternoon, Yuanli was going to go back to the county magistrate's mansion with Chu Hechao.

Before leaving, he called Wang Er to the front and asked, "Your friends are seriously injured. Even if they get medical treatment, they will bleed to death. Will you blame me for this?"

Wang Er's mind tightened, and he quickly cupped his fists to show his loyalty, "What did the eldest son say? I, Wang Er, know right from wrong. They are ungrateful first. I don't have such unfaithful friends. Even if they die, I don't regret it. "

Yuanli looked at him carefully.

Under his gaze, Wang Er actually had fine beads of sweat, and his palms became slippery due to nervousness.This feeling was even more disturbing than when he intercepted the dog official's belongings.

After a while, Yuan Li withdrew his eyes, raised his lips and smiled and said, "Wang Er, you are loyal and courageous, and have a chivalrous heart. I am short of insightful people like you. I don't know if you are willing to follow me." around?"

Wang Er was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, all the tension just now was washed away by joy.He suppressed his joy and tried his best to calmly say: "Of course I am willing to follow the young master."

Yuanli immediately asked the steward to send a horse, a pair of black armor, and a box of gold, silver and jewelry, and he handed all these things to Wang Er, generously.

Among these three things, the most common ones are gold, silver and jewelry.Horses and Xuanjia are not common. Horses are important strategic materials and will not be touched by civilians, while Xuanjia is even more precious. This is iron armor, which is extremely rare.Yuanli had prepared for many years before he got the channel to buy horses, but now, he only has twenty horses and five sets of black armor in his hands.

Wang Er's face flushed with excitement, he was flattered, but also ashamed: "Young master, I don't know how to ride a horse."

Yuan Li looked at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian took the reins of the horse, controlled the horse and taught Wang Er to get on the horse.Sitting on the horse, Wang Er was led around. He gradually got used to the feeling of riding a horse. When he looked down, the companions below were looking at him with envy or jealousy in their eyes. Wang Er's heart slowly rose. Excited and proud.

Yuan Li watched this scene with a smile, and suddenly felt something, looked sideways, and met Chu Hechao's eyes.

Chu Hechao pulled his lips, "Sister-in-law is grand."

Only the elite troops and officers in the army have the black armor to wear, but Yuan Li gave it to a man who couldn't even ride a horse.

Yuan Li smiled gently at him, the corners of his lips were rosy, the corners of his eyes slightly bent for a moment, and then turned his head.

After dealing with Wang Er's matter, Yuanli left Guo Lin and Zhao Ying at the farm, and asked them to transfer the money and goods at night, then rushed back to the county magistrate's mansion with Chu Hechao, who might find something wrong.

Late that night, Yuanli received a feedback from the system.

[The Encyclopedia of Everything System has been activated.The task of obtaining the stolen money from Hanzhong County Sheriff has been completed, and the rewards have been distributed. Please explore by yourself. 】

Yuanli knew that the money had been transferred.

Although he was very eager to complain about the name "Postpartum Care of Sows", Yuan Li still couldn't help being curious about the content of the book.He quietly waited for the knowledge to fill his brain, but after a few seconds, there was no movement.

"Ok?"

Yuanli sat up from the bed, making sure that he had not received any other information like the soap recipe.

He checked the system several times, and what was written was indeed that the task reward had been issued.

Could it be that the system gave him the physical version of the book?

Yuanli stood up and searched, but found nothing.After searching, he found that there was a faint mist in the sky, and Guo Lin was coming in a hurry.

Guo Lin handed over the cargo statistics list to Yuan Li, and told Yuan Li that the four people who were seriously injured by him during the day were dead.

"The five people caught by Zhao Ying have also been dealt with," Guo Lin said. "After the deterrence, the people in the refugee camp have become much more obedient."

Yuan Li said indifferently: "If there are people who are dissatisfied with the work-for-relief, let these people leave the refugee camp and drive them out of Ruyang County, and then we don't have to care about their lives."

After this time, Yuanli also realized that his thinking was too simple.

Except for the victims in the farms who have become their servants, most of the victims in other refugee camps know how to be grateful and thankful, and the method of using work for relief will make them feel more at ease when they get food.But there are also some rascals in the market who are extremely slippery and will not change until they die.People's hearts are unpredictable, and the disaster victims are not thoughtless puppets with strings.

There is nothing sad or not, Yuanli just learned some things and wants to turn these things into experience to prevent such things from happening again.

Guo Lin responded, and took out a bag from his arms with an excited expression, and lowered his voice extremely low, "My lord, we found a few books hidden in the silk cloth."

"Book?" Yuan Li was surprised, and quickly reached out to take it.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, books were more difficult to obtain than gold and silver treasures.Knowledge and most of the scriptures are monopolized by scholars and aristocrats, and being able to give books to others is definitely a great arrogance.

These books were tightly wrapped in cloth, such a cherished attitude made Yuanli feel anticipation.

He secretly prayed in his heart, it would be great if there were only a few isolated copies.

Soon, the cloth was unraveled, Yuan Li looked over expectantly, and a smile froze on his face in an instant.

These are three books, the titles of which are "Postpartum Care of Sows", "High-yielding and Efficient Feeding Techniques for Sows", and "Encyclopedia of Breeding Techniques in New Rural Areas".

Yuanli: "..."

Guo Lin asked suspiciously, "My lord?"

Yuan Li took a deep breath, "Go out first."

This system is great.

It turned out that this was the meaning of "ask the host to explore by himself", borrow that batch of goods, and send the reward to him in a reasonable manner.

Yuan Li opened the book and looked at it for a few moments without saying a word, but he didn't expect to be fascinated by it accidentally, and the more he read, the more energetic he became.I could see him nodding repeatedly, showing a thoughtful look from time to time.

Although the name is not very advanced, the content really works!

Yuan Li looked at it, and even wanted to try what it was like to deliver a pig with his own hands.

After the sky brightened, Yuan Li put away the book with a lot of enthusiasm, and set foot on the way back to Luoyang with Chu Hechao and his party.

The road was boring, so he found an interesting topic and asked Yang Zhongfa, "The general returned to Luoyang this time, didn't he bring anyone with him?"

Yang Zhongfa grinned, "How could we not bring anyone with us? This time we return to Luoyang, we will bring a thousand cavalry with us!"

A thousand cavalry, despite the small number, is actually quite a force.It is even possible that Chu Hechao brought so many people back to Luoyang because Chu Hechao planned to come to Beijing to ask for food and directly escort the food back to northern Xinjiang.

Just like the Luoyang Central Army, there are only more than 1 people in the five battalions stationed all year round.

One cavalry can stand up to several infantry, and the cavalry in northern Xinjiang has superb riding skills, and their combat effectiveness will only become stronger.

Yuan Li was thoughtful, "Then why didn't you see these cavalry?"

"They have all been placed in the Tunqi camp. Let the Tunqi school captain raise them for a period of time, saving us food. Of course, Mr. Yuan can't see it." Yang Zhongfa smiled and rubbed his hands, "Mr. Interested in Xinjiang cavalry? Why don’t I take you to the cavalry camp if you have free time!”

Yuanli smiled decently.I thought, do you think I believe it?

Perhaps the cavalry in northern Xinjiang were indeed placed in the cavalry camp, but definitely not all of them.Yuan Song once told Yuan Li that he had seen many strange faces in Ruyang County in the past few days, and they were probably from Chu Hechao.

Although Chu Hechao followed him and left Ruyang, he obviously hasn't given up on searching for the shipment.

Regarding the dog official's money, Yuanli is not going to take it for himself.But he has the right intention to make the best use of this batch of goods, and he is not going to take it out now.

Before that, Chu Hechao's people must not be allowed to find out where the goods are.

Yuan Li smiled and said: "Then thank you, Mr. Yang first."

On the way back, everyone didn't rest on the way, but returned to Luoyang faster than before.Yuan Li got off his horse first, and still had some strength left, striding into the palace of the Prince of Chu in high spirits.

Yang Zhongfa sighed in Chu Hechao's ear, "General, Young Master Yuan is really talented. He has already achieved this level at a young age. If he is taught well, it will not be difficult to become a famous general in the future."

He also heard about Yuanli's one against four. If Yang Zhongfa told him, he still felt that Yuanli was a little soft-hearted, and he should have hacked those four to death on the spot.However, Yuanli was still young, and his performance was already applauded, which made Yang Zhongfa feel a little regretful for a while.

Chu Hechao got off his horse neatly, tapped the side of his leg with a whip, and sneered, "I'm afraid he's more than that."

After speaking, he stepped into the mansion.

Yang Zhongfa looked at Chu Hechao's back, wondering, General, what does this mean?

He rubbed his chin thinking about this sentence, but he didn't figure it out for a while, so he turned around and walked to his home.

Yuanli rested in the mansion for a day, and was arrested by Yang Shi the next day to start housekeeping.

Yuan Li refused, so he temporarily took over.After spending half a day looking through the books of the Chu Palace, he was completely dumbfounded by the financial chaos in the Chu Palace.

The Prince Chu's Mansion has many shops and fields in Luoyang, and the fiefs also receive taxes every year.Logically speaking, it is also Zhongding's family. It should be rich and not short of money.But after reading the account book, I realized that the Chu Palace is full of loopholes, and the annual tax revenue is filled by local tycoons and officials in Youzhou, so it can only maintain the superficial prosperity!

Yuanli drank a cup of strong tea, got up and went to Yang Shi with the account book, and told her about the situation of Chu Palace.

Yang's face was unexpectedly calm, she pulled Yuan Li to sit down, patted Yuan Li's hand, "My good boy, you have worked hard on these ledgers. Mother knows that with your intelligence, you will be able to see these problems." .”

She sighed softly, "Since Feng'er fell ill and I had no intention of taking charge of the mansion... the situation has become more and more serious. Li'er, I know that you have great ambitions and will not stay in the mansion forever. But trying to take charge of a wang's mansion is not good for you. If you want to make friends with these rich and famous people, you must know what they eat, what they wear, what they do every day, and what they talk to. Is your mother right?"

Yuan Li pursed his lips and smiled, "Madam is right."

Yang said softly: "There is no need to count on taxation for the things on the ledger, as long as the mansion is safe, it will be of great help."

Yuanli is a smart man, he understood Yang's hint.I'm afraid Yang also knows that they are located in Luoyang, which is thousands of miles away from Youzhou. Even if they want to rectify it, they have no choice but to let it go.

Yuan Li nodded, and said implicitly: "There are many old slaves and their children in the house. I'm new here, so I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with them."

Yang's tone was light, but she was extremely firm, "Just do it, who dares?"

With Yang's support, Yuanli completely let go of his hands and feet, and vigorously began to rectify the inside and outside of Chu Palace.

Within a few days, the masters of Chu Palace felt obvious changes.

The servants in the mansion have become more diligent in doing things, and the servants of each courtyard will never wander around in other courtyards once the application time is over.When serving people, he lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, behaved well, and all parts of the mansion became clean.The stewards of the shop and the farm all tensed up, and respectfully handed in the ledger again.

At first glance, the Chu Palace seems to have taken on a new look.

Even the king of Chu couldn't help but secretly said to Yang Shi when he looked at the neat servant when he was having breakfast, "Ma'am, our family has married a good daughter-in-law."

Yang covered her lips and said with a smile: "Master, don't let Li'er hear what you said."

The King of Chu stroked his beard and whispered, "I know."

After the Prince Chu's mansion was rectified, Yuanli planned to return the housekeeping power to the Yang family.But early this morning, Wen Daoyuan received a message from someone sent by Chu Mingfeng.

Chu Mingfeng wanted to meet his "wife" Yuanli.
