Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 346 Mi Qing's Request (Two in One)

"My lord, this is the list of names for this report!"

Xun Yu respectfully handed the bamboo slips in front of Liu De.

Liu De took it and glanced at it casually and asked, "How many people are there in total? Have those who obstructed Wen Ju been found out?"

Xun Yu replied: "There are 627 people in total, 121 of them are descendants of noble families. We have also found out the noble families who obstructed the sons of poor families from registering. However, this noble family is not popular in Liao City at all. Let's call it a small family. The minister guessed , this small family is also being used by people."

Liu De leaned on the chair, threw the bamboo slips on the case table, and said to Xun Yu: "Without the support of other people, how dare a small family dare to block the policy that the general is bound to implement? Isn't it funny! Continue Check carefully, there must be others!
And this small family will be severely punished, killing chickens and scaring monkeys, this general will show other people what will happen if they violate this general's order! "

"I understand!"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "There is one more thing. Almost all the children of the Zheng family who are of suitable age have signed up for Wenju, and there are more than 30 people."

Liu De straightened his body and raised the corner of his mouth, "The Zheng family? Is the Zheng family showing their affection to me?"

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "I think so too!"

"Zheng Bogui is pedantic and dull. He doesn't seem like such a courageous person. It must be the meaning of Zheng Kui and Duke Zheng!" Liu De guessed, rubbing the stubble under his chin.

Liu De thought for a while and said, "That's it! You don't have to pay attention to the Zheng family, and you can prepare for the exam at ease. If someone from the Zheng family has passed the exam, they will be hired. If they fail the exam, it doesn't matter."

"I understand!"

Xun Yu nodded and said, he mainly came here this time to ask the lord what to do with the Zheng family, because the Zheng family was on the sidelines at the beginning, so Liu De was full of distrust towards the Zheng family, and the result was that although Zheng Bogui It is Liao Chengcheng, but the actual power has been divided by Xun Yu and others.

This time, more than 30 members of the Zheng family applied for the imperial examination, and Xun Yu came here to inquire, because he was afraid that Liu De would deliberately block them and prevent the members of the Zheng family from appearing on the list, as punishment for the Zheng family's duplicity.

If this is the case, it will be harmful to Liu De but not beneficial, and it will also be a blow to the fairness of Wen Ju, but now it seems that Xun Yu is being overwhelmed.

The lord is upright and understanding, not sticking to small details, he is really a gentleman!Xun Yu didn't say anything, but he had already sincerely worshiped him.

"By the way, there is one more thing!" Liu De instructed: "After my big wedding, I will go to inspect various places in Yanzhou. You are ready to go with me!"

"Yes, the minister takes orders!"

Liu De's control over the counties and counties in Yanzhou is not very firm. As mentioned before, many county magistrates and county lieutenants in Yanzhou are held by aristocratic families in various counties. On the one hand, it is also to appease the Geng family and tell them: Me!Liu De, he is not a bloodthirsty person, you just need to rest assured, and do things with peace of mind, I will never treat you badly!
But now it seems that these people have disappointed Liu De too much. Although the guards' surveillance of various places is not very good, but only a small part of the content passed from the place has already made Liu De furious.

These aristocratic families don't know how to repent at all, and are desperately digging their own roots!
If there is a civil uprising, it is not a pity for these people to die, but Liu De still has to clean up the mess. This will be a serious blow to his prestige, and it will also damage his reputation of benevolence and righteousness!
Do they think their corners are so easy to dig?
This tour is to clean up the moths in the localities, and the scholars selected by the Wenju can be filled in various places. Even Liu De is cruel. Going to a position like county magistrate, lack of qualifications, ability to fill in!
With a stable rear, Liu De can focus on the front line. Although the system's task is to pacify Hebei within five years, five years seems not short, but in fact, only four years and four months are left.

Time is very tight, so Liu De set a goal for himself to complete all the work behind Yanzhou by the time of the autumn harvest, that is, in July.

Including farming, conscription, training, cleaning moths and so on.
There are two big events in February, one is Wen Ju, and the other is his big wedding, Liu De thought to himself.

But Liu De forgot that the enemy will not give him a chance to recuperate.

Just as Chen Shuo sent Zheng Kui out of the mansion, the steward of Chen's mansion came to report again: "Master, Mr. Mi is here!"

"Oh? Mi Qing is here? Let him in!" Chen Shuo nodded and said to the old housekeeper.

"Yes!"

Mi Qing came to the living room, saw Chen Shuo, and hurriedly said: "Caomin pays homage to Mr. Aijia!"

Chen Shuo warmly took Mi Qing's hand, and invited Mi Qing to sit down, "We've known each other for more than 40 years, so we don't need this ritual! You continue to call me Brother Chen, you are still my little brother!"

When Mi Qing heard this, his heart also relaxed, and he said with nostalgia: "When you came to Dongyu, I was only a teenager. Now, I have reached the age of knowing my destiny! I have to say, really old!"

Chen Shuo pointed to his ear and said, "Why, are you getting old now? I haven't gotten old in my past years. Why are you 12 years younger than me?"

"Brother, you still have the same demeanor!"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Shuo stroked his beard and said, "Suo Ran is not convinced by the old, but the old man still wants to say that the world is really dominated by young people now, and young people today are much better than our generation!"

Chen Shuo was quite comforted, and said to Mi Qing: "Xun Yu is only 33 years old, and he is in his prime. He manages Yanzhou in an orderly manner, with high efficiency, and is very good at discovering talents, making the best use of them. This child has the talent of a prime minister." !"

"As for Xu Shu, Xi Zhicai, Jian Yong, Xu Guangqi, and your Mi Zhu, they are all heroes of the moment. Seeing them, this old man seems to have seen the bright future of Yanzhou!"

Chen Shuo hadn't chatted with his old friend like this for a long time, and it was hearty and enjoyable.

Mi Qing also said with emotion: "Back then, my elder brother and Brother Shang came to Dongyu together and stayed in Dongyu for 50 years, trying to keep Yanzhou intact. Now the world is in chaos, and General Cheqi pacified Yanzhou in just two years. , sitting on the throne of the Lord of Yanzhou, who would have expected that?"

"What my younger brother said is true, the lord grew up under the watchful eyes of the old man, and he is used to being carefree. Brother Shang only wanted the lord to be happy, so he didn't ask for more, after all, Liu Gan is there.

But, who would have expected that the Hu people would suddenly attack Dongyu when Brother Shang took me and the lord to Liaocheng. In the first battle that year, Liu Gan died at the gate of the city with dozens of iron arrows in his body. One dares to step forward! "

Chen Shuo recalled the past, and when he thought of Liu Gan, his eyes turned red. In fact, Liu Gan was their hope back then. Liu De was far behind his elder brother!
When Mi Qing heard this, he also sighed, "Brother also experienced that battle in the city back then, it was extremely tragic, blood flowed like a river, like Shura descending.

When the body of General Liu Gan was moved to the Liu Mansion, all the people in the city wept bitterly along the way, and even the migratory birds in the sky also wailed. 180 arrows were pulled out of General Liu Gan, and none of his body was intact. General Liu Gan is really a hero in this world! "

"Back then, Liu Gan was only 20 years old! Now the lord is also 20 years old, and 12 years have passed like this!"

Chen Shuo let out a long sigh, without words, for him, recalling such a thing was too painful, and his second son also died on the battlefield.

Seeing this, Mi Qing also changed the subject, and said to Chen Shuo, "When I came here, I saw Zheng Kui's carriage. Has he seen my brother?"

Chen Shuo said: "I never thought that Zheng Kui would come. He hoped that when Ying'er got married, Zheng Bogui's youngest daughter would come to Liu's residence together as Teng's concubine!"

"Brother agreed?" Mi Qing suddenly asked excitedly.

Chen Shuo glanced at Mi Qing suspiciously, wondering why Mi Qing was so excited.

He said: "Originally, the old man wanted to refuse, but it would be beneficial for the daughter of the Zheng family to marry the lord, so the old man didn't explicitly refuse, but just replied that he was thinking about it."

Mi Qing persuaded: "Zheng Kui, the old fox, has a good plan, but you have to be careful, brother. Zheng Kui will marry his little granddaughter. Although it is Miss Ying's dowry, I'm afraid she won't marry her What kind of help, on the contrary, may be against Yinger! The Zheng family has a very rich heritage."

Chen Shuo also thought of this. Although he is Liu De's uncle, he is also Chen Ying's grandfather!People are selfish, and Chen Shuo is no exception.

And Chen Shuo asked at this time: "There have been a lot of gossips, but I don't know what happened to Brother Qing?"

Mi Qing was a little embarrassed at this moment, but he still said: "To tell the truth, brother, did you come here today to ask for something?"

"Don't know what?"

"My younger brother also has a daughter. I want to marry Miss Ying as a concubine to Liu's residence together as Teng's concubine. I hope my elder brother agrees!"

Chen Shuo was taken aback, and then smiled wryly: "I forgot, you also have a young daughter who is naturally beautiful. Mi Zhu is an important minister under the command of the lord, who controls the money and grain of Yanzhou. She is graceful, generous, honest and elegant, and everyone praises her ability .

The lord is wise, and the Mi family is highly valued. As long as Mi Zhu is practical and loyal, the Mi family will have no worries for three generations!And why? "

Mi Qing said: "My elder brother's words are from the bottom of my heart, my younger brother knows all about it, but the little girl has always admired the lord, and has never had the chance to see her. My brother has no choice but to come to find my elder brother."

After hearing what Mi Qing said, Chen Shuo thought about it for a while, and finally sighed: "Since you have made up your mind, how can I refuse, it seems that Zheng Kui is going to promise him too!"

"Brother."

Mi Qing wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to say it.

Chen Shuo picked up the teacup, and Mi Qing knew that it was time for him to go back, so he bid farewell to Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo sat in his seat and thought for a long time. He didn't wake up until the old housekeeper came over.

"Master, what exactly is Mi Gong thinking?" the old housekeeper asked.

Chen Shuo stroked his gray beard and said, "Mi Qing is also thinking about his Mi family, and wants to improve. Of course, what he said may be the truth, but he didn't tell the whole thing to the old man!"

"Then Miss Mi's entry into the backyard may not be beneficial to Miss in the future, why does the master help him?"

Chen Shuo shook his head, but did not answer.

It's night, Zheng's mansion.

"Master, young master!"

The butler of the Zheng family came to the backyard and said happily to the father and son who were talking in the backyard: "Don't drive me, my lord agrees!"

Hearing this, Zheng Bogui said happily, "Father! That's great! You still have a way!"

Zheng Kui squinted his eyes and said: "As the old man expected, General Che Qi's marriage with the Zheng family is beneficial and harmless, and as Miss Chen's dowry, she is headed by Miss Chen in name, and will not harm Chen. The interests of the Chen family can actually boost the prestige of the Chen family, which is exactly what we expect, the higher the status of the Chen family, the better! The higher the status, the better for us!"

"Father is wise!"

Zheng Bogui bowed down.

"Okay! Bogui, go and prepare the dowry for the old man's little granddaughter! Even though I'm Teng's concubine, we can't leave empty-handed!" Zheng Kui waved his hands.

"Yes!"

At night, Qian also learned that Zheng's daughter and Mi's daughter were married with Chen Ying as dowry, and they became Liu De's concubine Teng.

Along with her was Cui Xi'er, who had just become the daughter of Chen Shuoqian, and a woman from the offshoot of the Chen family.There are four people in total.

Qian put down the embroidery in his hand, looked at the brightly lit room, let out a long sigh, and then felt lonely.

But Liu De didn't know about the series of things that happened. He was rushing to the farm station outside Liaocheng. According to reports, Xu Guangqi had organized a large number of refugees to reclaim the land, and the seeds could be planted around February [-].

Since Xu Guangqi received Liu De's order, he started working non-stop, organizing manpower, building houses, and moved to the residence where Tuntian was located, which was already his second home.

When Liu De saw Xu Guangqi, it was Xu Guangqi dressed up as a farmer, wearing sackcloth and rolling down his trousers, reclaiming the land with the refugees.

Xu Guangqi was called several times by the little official, and only then did he know that Liu De was coming, so he hurriedly followed the little official to Liu De, and said: "I pay my respects to the lord!"

Liu De looked at Xu Guangqi who was already tired and sweating profusely, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and asked, "How is it? Is the reclamation going well?"

Such a hard-working little bee is certainly worthy of Liu De's encouragement, mainly because Xu Guangqi has done a great job!
Xu Guangqi pushed Liu Dela to the side of the field, pointed to a large field and said: "My lord, all the fields here have been reclaimed as farmland, but irrigation is very troublesome. I am now improving the earliest waterwheels. Cars can help people!"

"Is there any difficulty for me to help you solve?" Liu De rolled up his sleeves, took a bamboo hat from Dian Wei, and said to Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi said to Liu De: "I need a lot of farming cattle, and making waterwheels also needs a lot of money and craftsmen!"

"You dare to say it! Yanzhou's finances are tight right now! I'm afraid your batch of waterwheels will cost a lot!" Liu De snatched the hoe from Xu Guangqi, picked it up and walked forward, saying to Xu Guangqi .

"Since the lord appointed me as the captain of Tuntian, then I will do him a good job, and the lord also said that he would fully cooperate with Tuntian!" Xu Guangqi was not repelled by Liu De's words, and what should be fought for must still be fought for.

Liu De nodded and said, "You're right. Farming is a major event. It must not be sloppy. Money and goods must be fully supported. However, we do not have many cattle in Yanzhou. I am thinking of a way!"

After Liu De finished speaking, he hit the ground with a hoe.
