Chapter 132 Huo Yunqian

The ass decides the head.

It wasn't just Liu Jingye who came here with the surname Huo, many officials in Fucheng also felt sorry for who was coming.

Although a team of troops had come a month and a half ago, holding tokens to renovate the General's Mansion, there was a lot of noise about the renovation, but at that time the general was still undecided.

I heard that in the past few months, the imperial court has been arguing endlessly over the candidate for General Zhenbei, and the princes of all parties want to arrange their own person to sit in that position.

Now, in the past few years, he has no interest in government affairs and is obsessed with cultivating Taoism and alchemy. He only has a big court meeting every [-] days.He has never expressed his position today, and let the people below make wild guesses, which made people panic.It wasn't until the imperial decree came together with the people that the fire and dust settled, and all the officials in Xiangping City were caught off guard.

In fact, there were rumors before that the Huo family would take over, but the Fucheng officials always replaced him first. How could it be possible? The position in Zhenbei has a better future than the capital, and smart people know how to choose it.

The Huo family has always been a royalist faction. When the power of several princes is fiercely competing, the Huo family no longer needs to add to the cake to make a contribution to the dragon. The century-old family that has always been low-key should not be mixed into the muddy water.

What's more, the Huo family's army is already so prestige in Liangzhou, Jingzhou and other places, how could it be possible to set foot in the north again, which arouses suspicion in the world.

So they believed more that it was the son of General Yan who took over, or someone else.

As for the Huo family, maybe it was some prince who pulled the tiger's skin and pulled the banner to deliberately let the wind out.Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a big event to spread among the people first.

But I didn't expect that the Huo family really came.

When seeing the person, the officials of Xiangping City were still in a daze.

And the person who came was not a side branch, someone knew him, the person who came was Huo Laosan, Huo Yunqian, the eldest son of the Huo family.

All the officials in Fucheng looked at the person on horseback, and those who were familiar with him greeted him while thinking to himself: With just such an ancestor, can he guard it without stopping?Will it still be the same as in the past with the officials and the well water?

Sure enough, he just showed up, and the surname Huo called for trouble, signaling the officials of the Ministry of Rites to directly announce his will.

Huo Yunqian did not enter the city with [-] of his own soldiers, and just set up tents outside the city despite his lip service, not wanting to enter the city to disturb the people.

All the officials in Xiangping City had regrets on their faces, and they felt uneasy if they didn't entertain them well, but they could only kneel down first to accept the order.

The content of the imperial decree is just two sentences: the north is about to open its doors to the mutual market.Everything is subject to Huo Yunqian, the new general of Zhenbei, and the assistant manager of the local government.

Regarding the mutual market, in fact, there have been quarrels in the court for three years. Every year they clamored to resume trade, but they failed to act every year, which made everyone tired.

Because some officials are in the main battle, there are a lot of people.

Another group of officials argued for peace, thinking that the Huns' invasion, including the fierce battle eight years ago, was nothing more than the Huns' severe lack of living supplies, so they had to risk their lives to invade.

A battle requires many years of recuperation, open the country's door to trade, and our dynasty is short of troops and horses to exchange. In the past two years, natural disasters have continued and the people's lives are already difficult, so it is best to resume border trade.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the new general arrived, the exchange market would also be settled.

In the eyes of several senior officials in Xiangping City who knew the movements of the Huo family, this was also a strange place. It was heard that the Huo family was obviously the main fighting faction.

There were also people who reacted quickly, thinking that they would have to sum up with their aides later: perhaps it was because the Huo family was leading the battle that Huo Yunqian was appointed today, taking the risk of making the Huo family's army so prestige in the south, and extending their hands to the north.

After all, regardless of the main battle or the main peace, only the royalist Huo family will try their best to limit the export of important materials such as iron and salt.If other generals take over at the exchange market stall, if there is a lot of iron pot flowing out, it will be smelted into weapons later, which may be a threat to foreign enemies.

Does this also mean that the Huo family is demoted and promoted secretly, and Huo Yunqian's rank as the general of Zhenbei is lowered, but in fact he is even more sacred.

Individual officials wondered: Which prince does the Huo family like?They follow behind, and they will never stand in the wrong team.

The magistrate looked at Huo Yunqian and his eyelids twitched, but what he thought was that thanks to what he had heard from the capital, he had cut off his tail ten days ago.

At this time, Liu Laozhu didn't know that Wang Lizheng was dead, and the table was full of people who had seen him for the last time.

As for the above, regardless of whether the officials really welcomed the new Zhenbei General or not, the common people in the city were really happy when they heard the surname.

This time, there is no need for yamen servants to flock to the outside of the city to welcome the Huo family army into the city.

Or else it has to be a big city, where there are many people who are well fed, and when they are full, they will be interested in listening to Mr. Shu's story about the heads of the Huo family fighting the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and they are more concerned about politics.

Mrs. Xu thought: If this was in Erdaohe Village, no matter who came, if they dared to let them put down their work in the field to meet them, they would curse secretly: I can’t even eat enough. Is it sick to go out and offer flowers?Even the radish tassels should be kept for use at home, so I don't have the time to talk about those ligelen.

Fortunately, she had heard a few words about Huo Jiajun from Zhao Dashan, otherwise she would not have much confidence in the new high official.

Mrs. Xu was about to leave the kitchen, thinking about sending her third child to take her granddaughter out to watch the excitement. If she was lucky enough to live broadcast the face of an ancient general, the click rate would not be soaring. Unexpectedly, Liu Laozhu found it Come.

Liu Laozhu squatted by the stove pit with tears in his eyes: "The real surname is Huo, why is Dashan's letter so accurate, I heard that it is really going to be a mutual market."

Mrs. Xu: "...then why are you crying?"

Ah, I see, I am feeling that the boot finally fell down.

The one who was sent was not a good general, and the Liu family's eldest son's false military service might not be exposed.After all, they are not good people, who cares about their own business?

But all this was in vain, and Wang Lizheng was offended and couldn't turn back.

If a good general came, from leading the villagers to fish and making troubles to now being tired and cold and urinating frequently, everything that Lao Zhu was busy with would seem to be meaningful, but the matter of the Liu family might be exposed. .Finally, when the dust settles, it is inevitable to have complicated emotions.

"Don't cry, this can be regarded as being completely down-to-earth. You will go forward and lead everyone to make money. I guess before we get to the village, the villagers will hear the news of the mutual market. Are the messengers faster than us? Our village is The place you must pass by, everyone will understand your painstaking efforts when you look at the house again. When the time comes, welcoming you will be as imposing as welcoming the general outside. If not, I will ask them to beat the drums to make up for you."

Liu Laozhu wiped his face vigorously and thought to himself, what the elder sister said is the most correct, we can't fool around anymore, the only way left now is to be good to the villagers, earn himself some achievements as a village official, and strive to make up for it by revealing the truth in the future instead of being lenient. serious.

Now that the stone has fallen in your heart, be optimistic.

After Liu Laozhu figured it out, his smile was uglier than crying, and he stood up and paid Mrs. Xu.

He took out a large string of copper plates, remembering that when he went back to the village to do business, he would have to give change to people, so he tied the string of copper plates to his waist again, reached into his belly, and exchanged them for scraps of silver less than one tael. past:
"Sister, please pick some fine grains and fine noodles for everyone to prepare for the journey. I mean, you pick some good preparations. Don't pay for the rations of your family of three out of your own pocket like before. What is that for? Eat I should pay for the money. If Tian Xin is rare, you can buy it with confidence. If she is rare in food, others can be rare, so the boys can satisfy their greed. You can see the arrangement."

Liu Laozhu continued: "When I came here, I searched and searched, because I didn't know how much it would cost to purchase, and I thought it would be a little cheaper. Right now, what should be purchased has been bought, and there is still money left in hand, so let's Just eat something good, preferably with a bit of meat and oil. These guys don’t even have a penny for running errands. You can’t go out with me on the first trip. Who would dare to go out with me next time."
