Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 11 Uncle Liu's Past

Lantian County, adjacent to Chang'an in the west, is the hometown of Huaxu, the mother of Fuxi and Nuwa, and the direct ancestor of Emperor Yan and Huangdi.

It is located at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains, southeast of Guanzhong Plain, bounded by Qinling Mountains in the southeast, and adjacent to Zhashui County, Luonan County; bounded by Kuyu River in the west, adjacent to Chang'an and Baqiao; in the north, bounded by Lishan Mountain, and bordered by Weinan .

The climate is mild and the land is fertile, which was planned by the imperial court. The corn planting area is ripe, and the farmland is full of golden light. When August and September are handed over, it is the harvest season.

There was only a middle-aged strong man, but he was very free, and he was patrolling around with a dozen guards. It seemed that he knew almost all the farmers in the fields.

The people who were harvesting would bow down and salute whenever they saw this strong man. Some called Uncle Liu and others called Duwei.

Although the scar on this person's face made people feel fearful, the farmers were not afraid, on the contrary, they showed affectionate energy.

This person is the guard commander of the men's mansion in Kaiguo County, Lantian, Liu Wanquan.

Responsible for all external affairs, and farming taxes among several Zhuangzi.

Datang is a farming society, and it is naturally dominated by farming. Today, the top priority of Datang is harvesting. Before harvesting, it is necessary to worship the heavens and the earth and thank the gods for their blessings.

In previous years, the ceremonies were all presided over by the old gentleman. This year, when the old gentleman passed away, it is natural that the prince should come forward.

But that little man, since Qin Ling was injured, has been recuperating in the mansion, so Liu Wanquan temporarily presided over all affairs.

Early in the morning, after Liu Wanquan led the crowd to perform the sacrifice, all the farmers of the village went crazy and rushed into the fields.

After the chaos at the end of the great cause, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan complied with the will of God and united the war, and achieved this Li Tang Jiangshan, but it was also devastated and displaced people everywhere.

With the destruction of Dou Jiande's army, the world was finally settled, Li Shimin in the autumn of Wude's ninth year,
As the prince of the country, he issued an edict, ordering refugees and refugees from all over the world to return to their homeland,
Allocating fields, granting crops, cultivating people's interest, encouraging mulberry farming, and the world will be safe for a while.

When the people regain their land, they are naturally grateful to His Majesty today.

But the people here have no concept of imperial power, but they treat Li Ping, a man from Kaiguo County, like a god.

Although the old gentleman has only awarded the title of a founding county baron, everyone stubbornly believes that the old gentleman's credit and character are at least worth a founding county candidate.

As for the rank of Hou Ye, how big an official position is, these people have no way of knowing.

Therefore, several villagers of Zhuangzi did not say county males, but directly called them lords.

Almost every household offers tablets, burn incense every day, and kowtow every day.

Without him, because without Li Ping, the county man, there would be no peace and harmony in these villages.

"Captain."

A man at the foot of the slope in the farmland saw Liu Wanquan approaching, he quickly straightened himself, and gave a standard military salute.

That's right, at a glance, you know that this is an old mansion soldier who survived on the battlefield.

Seeing the boss in the past, I respected it. Now that the Tang Dynasty has been decided, the soldiers of the local governments are also disarming and returning to the fields, returning to their essence. Farming is the top priority.

Stepping up to pat the mansion soldier on the shoulder, Liu Wanquan couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Hei Niu, I heard that your mother-in-law gave birth to another big fat boy yesterday. You can't run away from this drink. A certain family is going to visit tomorrow, the newly born nephew."

Liu Wanquan is not good at words, and being able to say such words is already the most affectionate way to express.

The man in the field immediately stood up straighter and said with a happy face:

"When the commander-in-chief is visiting, he must be well received.

It's a pity that the old lord can't see my son.

well! …

My mother-in-law is still a refugee who was rescued by the old gentleman. The assignment and me, even the marriage fee, are all paid by the old gentleman.

My mother-in-law and I look forward to the long life of the old man.

But I never thought that the old injury broke out last month, and it went like this. "

After speaking, the man in the field kept sighing and shaking his head.

Hearing his former subordinates mentioning the deceased lord again, Liu Wanquan recalled the years when there was a lot of smoke,
Heads were flying everywhere, limbs were broken, people turned on their backs...

I couldn't help but sigh:

"If it wasn't for the old man, I'm afraid... I would have gone to Huangquan to report."

"Yeah, back then, the villain was fighting with the thieves, and he looked at the long knife beside him, but there was nothing he could do.

I thought I was going to die, but I didn't want to, the old lord bumped me aside,
As a result, the knife only cut the ankle of the villain. When I got up, the old man had already killed the two thieves.

If there is no old man, I am afraid that he will be killed on the spot.

The villain's parents died early and he was homeless, so the old man brought me to Lantian to settle down.

After dividing the land and assigning my wife to me, I don't know how to repay such a great favor. "

"Yeah, if the old man hadn't used his military exploits to commit the crime of disobeying the military order for me, a certain family would have been beheaded long ago."

"At that time, Captain Du was anxious that our team was trapped, so he led his troops to rescue.

Disobeying the military order to retreat, so much love and righteousness, who does not know?
Now that time has passed, the commander no longer mentions that annoying thing. "

"Yeah, it's all over, it's really not easy for me to be able to get together again,
Thanks to the old man who gathered us here and bought these villages, we can live and work in peace and contentment.

correct,

When you go back and pass on all the people in the village, you are not allowed to take the old food for the food that you give to the house.

If anyone uses old grain to fool them, a certain family will never forgive them lightly!
Other Zhuangzi, some will make others talk about it. "

"Don't worry, the subordinates must tell them to know, who dares to do this, the subordinates will cut him first.

Naturally, no one of us Zhuangzi has such filthy thoughts.

It's just that if the rent of the [-] households of the old lord's food town is shoddy, it will be fooled with the old grain, or the bucket that is less than a foot...

But it is unpredictable, here, the captain must check. "

Liu Wanquan, who was about to turn around and leave, was startled after hearing this:
"Da Niu, you're right, you can't help it.

In previous years, when I collected rent and paid food, and with the Lord in charge, I was naturally at peace.

Now that the old man has passed away, I am afraid of those who are pregnant with ghosts, bullying Xiaolangjun when he is young, and pretending to be mysterious.

It was passed down that several village soldiers, fully equipped, would gather in the house when the rent was collected, and a certain family would arrange it in person, and there was no shortage of one person. "

"only!"

The dozen or so guards behind him, along with Jiang Daniel, stood up straight and clung to their promises.

Looking at Liu Daquan who was far away, Hei Niu was very excited.

The Tang Dynasty was martial, and the folk customs were sturdy. Although he had withdrawn from the barracks for a long time, the blood in his body still carried a deep memory of the bone marrow.
Once the command is heard, it will boil and burn in an instant.

It's not just him, but several government soldiers in Zhuangzi are like this.

Even farming and eating, are vigorous and resolute.

It seems that these Zhuangzi are the camp, this field is the battlefield, and the chores in the house are military affairs.

Since ancient times, military orders have been like mountains, and orders and actions are prohibited.

He advanced at the sound of the drum, and closed at the sound of gold. In a fierce battle that year, Liu Wanquan was the captain of Guo Yi at the time. The thieves were strong, and the general gave orders to avoid the edge for the time being.

Hearing the order to retreat, Liu Wanquan wanted to leave immediately.
One of his personal soldiers reported it, and on the other side, a hundred and ten subordinates were trapped in the enemy camp and could not escape.

If you retreat at this time, you will be able to escape the danger, but those trapped soldiers will probably be damaged in the enemy's camp.

The soldiers that Liu Wanquan brought were old brothers who had been with him for many years.
While ordering the soldiers to retreat, they took the guards of the regiment, 50 people,

Turning the horse's head, he rushed back to the battlefield and rescued the more than 100 trapped soldiers.

After the war, the matter was immediately exposed, disobeying the military order, and not retreating in time, which was to kill the sacrificial flag.

Liu Wanquan knew that he could not escape death.

It is also very sad in my heart, the family still needs its own leader,
His wife, children, young and old, and his two younger brothers are young. If he is beheaded, there are still [-] or [-] people in the Liu family. How can they survive...?
At a critical juncture, the Guard Li Ping stood up,
In order to save Liu Wanquan, the old man took the initiative to admit that it was his order that the fifty guards rushed back to save him.

In that battle, the seven heads that the old lord hung on his waist should have been promoted to three levels in a row, and they should have been promoted to captains.

However, in order to save Liu Wanquan, he took the military merit of seven heads to replace the crime of untimely retreat.

Coupled with the general Qin Qiong, who is also the sworn brother of the old man, the matter was suppressed.

So the merits and demerits are equalized, neither reward nor punishment, the old man is still a team leader.

In this regard, the old man thought to open it up, but instead often enlightened Liu Wanquan.

Said that he likes to be a team leader the most, and has been a team leader for decades, and he's used to it.

Being promoted to lieutenant commander was rather uncomfortable.

In fact, this was Gu deliberately comforting Liu Wanquan, how could Lao Liu not know it?
The life-saving grace is like reborn parents, and the old team is the same as Lantian folks. Since then, the two have been inseparable until the old man finally died.

Even the twenty-odd members of his own family lived in other courtyards of the mansion.

The girls and servants who serve are all refugees and refugees arranged by the government.

His two sons and several nephews accompanied Xiao Langjun to enlighten him.

Nowadays, whenever he sees a few children being praised for their knowledge, Liu Wanquan feels proud from the bottom of his heart.

The villagers run by Laoxian Nanzhi can only read dozens of people.

There were only three or four of them in his own house. Although Liu Wanquan couldn't understand the words of the sages and sages, he still felt relieved.

Liu Wanquan felt that as long as he learned the knowledge, there would be a day when he would honor his ancestors.

Continuing to patrol the ditch in the field, the group greeted the people in the farmland while walking.

Groups of children, shuttled through the countryside, playing and laughing.

A guard dodged a trot and ran over to the group of children.

Laughing and calling out to the field:

"Wang Saburo, why do you work so hard, you can't finish it in a day or two, and you don't have any energy left to serve your woman at night..."

That Wang Saburo only cares about harvesting corn, and has no time to answer,

On the contrary, the woman beside Wang Saburo spat with a blushing face.

It caused a group of men to burst into laughter...
