The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 26 Uncle’s Concern

Liu Tai's mind from beginning to end was on how to strengthen the power in his hands, without any thought of going further.

After all, he can now control 2000 people, which is the limit that he can reach if he can fight with nepotism.

If you want to go further, you can't achieve it through hard work. You need to grow a few years older until you reach 16 years old.

Soon, as Wang Zhang arrived with food and grass, Liu Tai naturally received Wang Zhang's order to return to Yecheng!
"Let me go back to Yecheng?" Liu Tai was a little surprised when he heard Wang Zhang's words.

"Isn't this natural? Do you still want to stay here and be the county magistrate?" Wang Zhang looked at Liu Tai and said.

"No way?!" Liu Tai said with some doubts after hearing Wang Zhang's words.

"Don't think about it. Next year I'm afraid this will become the front line for attacking the Shangdang. The entire Han Dynasty's supplies will be gathered here. How can you be stationed here? Even my brother can't secure this position."

Wang Zhang rolled his eyes at Liu Tai and said, "However, if you defended our army's retreat this time, you will naturally be rewarded!"

"What kind of award?!" Liu Tai asked Wang Zhang when he heard this.

Although Liu Tai felt a little disappointed that he could no longer be stationed here, he didn't care too much.

After all, this is not my base, and I have only stayed here for ten days and a half, which is not a deep feeling.

But when it comes to base areas, let alone himself, even Wang Mi doesn't seem to have any intention of establishing a base area.

Therefore, although the relationship in Xuans County is good, if the superiors give orders, then just listen to them.

"Your Majesty rewarded you with one hundred gold, and removed the code of your generation of Sima, making you an official Sima of another department!" Liu Zhang said, "Of course your uncle will not lose you and give you a place in Yecheng. I have a courtyard and will have a place to live in the future!”

"I feel like I can't use this yard. Can I cash it in?" Liu Tai asked Wang Zhang.

"Don't be ridiculous. The hundred gold the saint gave you is not enough. What do you want with so much money?" Wang Zhang said.

"I want to get some pens, inks, paper and inkstones. These things look ordinary, but they cost a lot of money to use!" Liu Tai couldn't help but say.

"In other words, what kind of words do you want your subordinates to learn? How can those big soldiers learn to read!" Wang Zhang shook his head and said,

"Forget it, after I return to Yecheng, I will prepare it for you. Let me tell you first, I will prepare for you at most 50 people."

"Thank you, uncle!" Liu Tai immediately replied to Wang Zhang after hearing Wang Zhang's words.

"Besides, Second Uncle, am I going back to Yecheng soon?" Liu Tai couldn't help but asked curiously.

"It's impossible to play a second game in a short period of time. We have plenty of time. What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Wang Zhang said.

"Well, there is still some finishing work!" Liu Tai said to Wang Zhang.

After hearing what Liu Tai said, Wang Zhang nodded and didn't say much. He just let Liu Tai handle it by himself.

What Liu Tai needs to deal with are the bodies of soldiers who died in the war.

Liu Tai has not done anything these days and has been waiting for the soldiers' coffins. However, these coffins were only crudely made from the surrounding trees. Even so, Liu Tai ordered the soldiers to dig out a large hole and dig out the coffins. Pieces were put down to fill the soil for them, and monuments were erected. Finally, everyone clenched their right hands and leaned on their hearts, remaining silent for a hundred breaths.

"Put it down!" Liu Tai stood up and said to his soldiers, "I can't guarantee that I will lead you to win the war every time, but I can guarantee that as long as I win the war, I will definitely give the coffin to my brothers who died in the battle. You can use it to sleep peacefully.

Although they have sacrificed their lives, we will carry their heroic souls and continue to fight and move forward! "

Although Liu Tai's words were not very infectious, they could more or less feel the importance he attached to the soldiers.

Of course, what they felt most was respect, the kind of respect that Liu Tai treated himself as a human being.

For example, Liu Tai knows how to implement a three-meal system.

For example, Liu Tai established military history.

For example, Liu Tai would actually prepare coffins for the soldiers who died in Xuansheng City and personally erect monuments for these sacrificed soldiers.

It can be said that maybe others can give better than what Liu Tai gives, but the soldiers under Liu Tai's command feel a kind of respect, a kind of respect that seems to be regarded as human beings and not just numbers under the generals. .

Just like this, after Liu Tai held a funeral for the soldiers, the soldiers under his command looked at Liu Tai with even more love.

Because to them, Liu Tai seemed to regard them as human beings.

After finishing this matter, Liu Tai did not stay in Xuushi County any longer. He obeyed Wang Zhang's order and set off to leave Xuushi County.

Meng Dong did not disappoint Liu Tai and recruited some medical craftsman apprentices from the Wang family, and they were placed in the ninth camp.

This war made all the soldiers see the importance of medical treatment after the war. At least through their treatment, the soldiers' probability of survival was greatly increased, making people feel that they were not fighting in the gate of hell. .

Of course, Liu Tai knew better that a mere medical practitioner could not support the medical system.

Compared with asking a group of talented doctors to go to the battlefield to treat people purely relying on their medical skills, Mr. Liu Tai felt that if prostitutes were well trained and trained and transferred to become battlefield doctors, he didn't know whether they could save people, but it would definitely make the survival of the soldiers a priority. Desire increases.

"I still need medicine..." Liu Tai couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It is better to find a way to purchase the current drugs after going to Yecheng. I really want to stabilize the medical system. An abundant supply of materials is sometimes more important than doctors.

Liu Tai returned to Yecheng. It has to be said that after the initial period of chaos, Yecheng was more or less lively.

Liu Tai asked his soldiers to station outside Yecheng, and then followed Wang Zhang to see Wang Mi.

When Liu Tai and Wang Zhang came, they saw Cao Yi coming out with a sad look on his face. Wang Zhang said, "Dezhi, are you back?"

"Yes!" When Cao Yi saw Wang Zhang, she felt a burst of joy in her heart and couldn't help but said, "Shu Yu, it would be great if you came back and help me intercede with Wang Shuai. This time I was defeated by Gou Xi. , It’s not that I don’t work hard!” “Have you met Gou Xi?!” Wang Zhang couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard Cao Yi’s words.

"I originally just wanted to fight with his brother, but no one expected that he would show up!" Cao Yi couldn't help but feel regretful.

Hearing this, Wang Zhang nodded and said, "When you meet Gou Xi, it's a crime other than war. You should go back and straighten your morale first!"

Liu Tai looked at Cao Yi curiously at this moment, and became slightly attracted to the name Gou Xi. Then he followed Wang Zhang in and happened to see Wang Mi pacing inside.

"Brother, Tai'er and I are back!" Wang Zhang looked at Wang Mi and said involuntarily.

"Just come back!" Wang Mi said and walked quickly towards Liu Tai, patted Liu Tai's shoulder hard and said,
"This time I'll be proud. I'll have a good rest when I get back. I'm afraid there will be a big war next year. Then you and I will go out with the army!"

"There will be a war next year?" Liu Tai was a little confused when he heard Wang Mi's words.

At this time, Wang Zhang turned to Liu Tai and said, "If Shangdang County had always been in the hands of Liu Kun's army, then the Han State would not dare to attack at all, because through the Eight Paths of Taihang, it would not be surprising for Liu Kun's army to attack anywhere.

Therefore, without taking Shangdang County and Huguan, the Han Dynasty would not be able to attack the Jin Dynasty. "

Liu Tai nodded when he heard this and said, "Then when will we attack next year?"

"At least wait until the autumn grain is harvested! We have been fighting for a whole year this year and it is almost winter. Let the soldiers have a good rest." Wang Mi looked at Liu Tai and said, "Wait until next year, when you will be indispensable to perform meritorious deeds!
By the way, I have bought a new house and a maid for you in Yecheng. You can live there for now. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, just tell your second uncle and he will definitely take care of it for you! "

Liu Tai nodded to Wang Mi, and then said, "Speaking of which, I need my second uncle to withdraw a sum of money and food for me, and to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials such as blood replenishing and stopping bleeding, which are mainly used for the injuries suffered by soldiers on the battlefield.

In addition, we need to purchase a large amount of linen, even if it is the lowest quality, to use it to rescue the soldiers. I hope my uncle will support me. "

"Withdraw five hundred gold from Tai'er!" Wang Mi said to Wang Zhang after hearing Liu Tai's words.

"Are we so rich now?" Liu Tai's expression changed when he heard Mi's direct and generous withdrawal of five hundred gold.

After all, gold was considered a very important funerary object during the Han Dynasty, so the use of gold became less and less. Now, gold is not so much a currency, but rather a precious metal with a fairly large denomination.

"The areas around Yecheng are very rich, and these Yecheng aristocratic families are also smart!" Wang Mi said with a smile, "They can at least buy peace if they give me money, but if they don't give me money, then forget about my incompetence."

Liu Tai looked at Wang Mi's posture and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was obvious that Wang Mi must have blackmailed local aristocratic families, large and small. Regarding this, both Wang Mi and Wang Mi's men felt that it was natural.

Even though the local aristocratic families were reluctant to part with the money, they didn't think there was any problem. After all, this was the normal characteristic of officers and soldiers in this era.

On the contrary, it is strange that Liu Tai wants to follow the line of the regular army. Even if Liu Tai wants to maintain his regular army system, he still needs Wang Zhang's support. What.

Liu Tai wants to make money, but he doesn't have the right talents at the moment. After all, even a businessman is a very good talent for a wealthy family, and it's not like a doctor, craftsman, or technician. Such people are not suitable for a wealthy family. would take it too seriously.

And Liu Tai himself is even less likely to let go of military power and get some money. If this is the case, it is putting the cart before the horse.

It is better to find ways to save more food. At least in this era of war and chaos, food is the hardest commodity in this era, and farming is the most promising thing.

Compared with what business methods need to be studied, finding a base for farming is the most important strategic decision.

But Wang Mi may betray the emperor later, but he is truly convinced by Liu Yuan. Liu Tai knows that as long as Liu Yuan is still alive, Wang Mi will never take the initiative to rebel, so he should not think too much and continue to train himself. His subordinates!

When he met Wang Mi and asked for some money, Wang Zhang took Liu Tai to his mansion.

It can only be said that this mansion looks quite open, and when we got inside, we saw the female envoy Yingying Yanyan, wearing clothes that were not considered thick, at least in this season that was gradually entering winter, it made people feel... There is a different feeling of pity.

"Why are there so many women in my yard?" Liu Tai looked at Wang Zhang with some confusion.

"They're just some maids. If you want to play with them, just play!" Wang Zhang glanced at the maids and said to Liu Tai, "Second uncle found these specially for you in Yecheng, just to play with them!" To prevent you from being harmed by wine and sex in the future!”

"Uh..." Liu Tai scratched his head in confusion when he heard Wang Zhang's words. Did the family have such a good time?
Wang Zhang knew that although Liu Tai was born into a poor family, the problem was that his father rebelled and got everyone involved in the poor family, so the education Liu Tai received when he was young was not complete at all.

And what is the so-called poor family? It means having land, family education, horses, maids, and even a housekeeper.

However, due to the failure of the rebellion, Liu Tai followed him and others to wander around. Even though Liu Tai gradually stood out with his natural power and agility, Liu Tai ultimately missed a large part of his humble education.

These missing poor education may not be very important to Liu Tai, but they are still very important to Wang Mi and Wang Zhang.

With Liu Tai's talents in military strategy, both Wang Mi and Wang Zhang believed that Liu Tai would be their military help in the future, which Wang Mi and Wang Zhang had to pay attention to.

After all, it is rumored that how the last fierce man on the battlefield holding Fang Tian's painted halberd turned against his adoptive father has entered the history books.

And what Liu Tai is most afraid of at this age is falling in love with someone else for no reason and making a big mistake.

What's more important is that Liu Tai is still too young at the moment, and he doesn't know that love is not important in this world. What is important is that he understands that marriage is a tool that can bring benefits, and it is also the key to political alliances.

For men from aristocratic families, if marriage cannot bring you value, then continue to improve yourself and wait until the right person appears.

Just because he was afraid that Liu Tai wouldn't understand this, he, as his uncle, naturally had to help complete the education in this area.

At first, I and others were homeless and had no training conditions, but now that they have the money and power to take over Yecheng, they naturally have to make up for their shortcomings.

Not to mention that the education of the family members is all one set, after all, even if you want to learn these things, it is not that easy, but at least there is a simple version, so that Liu Tai will not stumble on beauty like the nouveau riche in the future!
A 13-year-old is still a minor in modern times, but in ancient times, he could already be regarded as an adult.

Liu Tai looked at these Yingying Yanyan, but he did not refuse the hard work of his two uncles. He only stayed at home for a day, then decisively escaped from Pansi Cave and moved to the military camp.

Although I am not aloof from women, 13 years old is a bit too early.

Uncle, I know you are anxious, but can you stop being so anxious!
