Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 7 Forbearance
Seeing that Xiang Liang had nothing to say, Xiang Yu went on to say, "Even though we bear the hatred of the country and the family, the restoration of the country is more important than the hatred of the family, do you think so?"

"That's right!" Xiang Liang replied.

Seeing that Xiang Liang agreed with his statement, Xiang Yu immediately added: "Uncle! We are no longer the aristocrats of the Chu State, but the people who have subjugated the country, and the people who are determined to restore the country and make the family more glorious! The old Goujian, the overlord of Yue, can endure humiliation and restore the country, but we are much better than Goujian now! Why can't we bear the burden of humiliation for the sake of restoring the country?"

After Xiang Liang heard this, he fell into deep thought. Xiang Yu knew that he needed time to give Xiang Liang, so he bid farewell to the two of them.

***********************
After a long time, Xiang Liang sighed: "Hey! It seems that Yu'er has grown up! I'm not as good as it!"

"Brother, why is this so? Yu'er is the next Patriarch of my Xiang Family, why worry about my Xiang Family's prosperity with such a Patriarch!!!" Xiang Le comforted.

Nodding his head, Xiang Liang said to Xiang Le: "Brother Le, with your knowledge and martial arts, Yin Tong, the magistrate of Wu County, will not refuse to invite you into the county government as an official! Why you?"

"I promised Yin Tong that I will be the jailer in the county when my elder brother arrives!" Xiang Le replied.

Xiang Liang heard what Xiang Le said, and said to him: "That's it! Brother Le, how about making an appointment with Yin Tong for me?"

"Naturally!" Xiang Le agreed.

The next day, Xiang Liang, Xiang Le and others entered the city together.

Xiang Le first entered the county government office and told Yin Tong that his elder brother Xiang Liang wanted to meet him.Yin Tong agreed, and Xiang Le went out of the gate to bring Xiang Liang in.

"Xiaomin Xiangliang, I have met your magistrate!" Xiang Liang cupped his hands and bowed to Yin Tong the first time he saw Yin Tong.

Seeing Xiang Liang bowing his hands, although Yin Tong was very happy in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Mr. Xiang doesn't need to be so big! I can just talk about teaching as my peers!"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Xiang Liang even said he didn't dare, and then said: "Courtesy cannot be discarded!"

Yin Tong is a Confucian scholar, when he heard Xiang Liang say that etiquette cannot be broken, he nodded secretly and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Xiang is here?"

"Actually, Cao Min just came back from the north, and my third younger brother is coming to perform his duties! Cao Min heard that Your Excellency is a great Confucian scholar, and admired him very much, so he came here to pay a visit!" Xiang Liang replied without leaking anything.

"Hahaha! You can't do that to Brother Xiang!" Yin Tong was delighted by Xiang Liang's words.

Seeing Yin Tong like this, Xiang Liang knew that this person had a good reputation, and he flattered Yin Tong to the fullest in the ensuing conversation.

Soon, Xiang Liang's meeting with Yin Tong ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

*************************
When Xiang Liang arrived in Wuzhong, he took on the important task of teaching Xiang Yu and others the art of marksmanship and the art of war.

One day, Xiang Liang was teaching Xiang Yu and others to form an army in his study.

Xue Wen came to the study suddenly, and talked with Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang was very puzzled after hearing this, and said to Xiang Yu and others: "You study on your own, and I will teach you when uncle is done with his work!"

"Yes, Uncle!" Everyone clapped their hands together.After Xiang Liang arrived in Wuzhong earlier, he asked Li Qi and others to call himself uncle in order to increase Li Qi and others' sense of belonging.

Xiang Liang and Xue Wen went out, and Xiang Yu lay down beside the wall to eavesdrop at night thoughtfully.

"Why are the belongings at home almost gone? Why didn't you say such an important matter earlier?" Xiang Liang blamed.

Xue Wen explained: "The belongings at home cost [-] and a half taels when they went south, but when they went south to Wuzhong, they spent [-] and a half taels to arrange for the dead soldiers to hide secretly and arrange reasonable identities. Later, when I arrived in Wuzhong, I spent another [-] and a half taels to buy land and build houses for each family; plus Sanye’s banquet and making friends with the rich and county magistrate Yin Tong in Wu county cost [-] and a half taels. After spending [-] and a half taels on stockpiling [-] shi of grain, the family has less than [-] and a half taels of grain left besides the [-] shi of grain!"

"Could it be that my Xiang family has left so little money in the past few hundred years?" Xiang Liang asked doubtfully.Because there is obviously a big problem with Xue Wen's account, the total amount is less than [-] and a half taels, which can be said to be the end of Xiang's savings for more than a hundred years.

"In addition to half taels, there are nearly one million ant nose coins, more than [-] silver coins, more than [-] gold coins, and a lot of jewelry and jade objects!" Xue Wen replied.

"Then why don't you use gold coins to exchange for half taels?" Xiang Liang asked.

Xue Wen was a little stunned, and replied: "My lord, there are not many people in the big clan in Wu County who are willing to exchange half taels for gold coins, because now all the coins in circulation are half taels and gold coins are rarely used, so even if we want to exchange No one wants us to exchange it! In addition, if we exchange it with the government, then our more than [-] gold coins can only be exchanged for half taels ten times the amount at most, which will greatly reduce the value of gold coins!"

"What's the matter? You can't let the family run out of money!" Xiang Liang said helplessly.In fact, Xiang Liang didn't want to exchange gold coins for half taels. The quality of the half taels is very good, but it is the currency of Qin State after all. There are large pimples.

Xue Wen cautiously suggested: "Shouldn't we discuss it after the third master and the others come back?"

Nodding his head, Xiang Liang said, "That's the only way!"

Later, Xiang Liang let Xue Wen go down, and continued to teach Xiang Yu and others the art of war.

What Xiang Liang didn't know was that Xiang Yu overheard his conversation with Xue Wen verbatim.Xiang Yu had the urge to tell his biggest secret, but then he thought that it was just a drop in the bucket, so he became depressed again.

In the next few days, Xiang Liang and other brothers held family meetings every day around whether to change the gold coins into half taels, and they broke up every day.

*********************
In the past few days, what makes Xiang Yu most happy is that his martial arts have made great progress.

In addition to Xiang Yu's improvement in martial arts, Long Qi and Li Qi have also stepped into the ranks of second-rate generals, 82 and 81 respectively.

The most surprising thing is that Xiang Sheng, Xiang Han, Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Jian have also become second-rate generals. Although they are all just starting at 80 points, they also make Xiang Yu secretly happy.

Xiang Yu knew that it was time to start his big plan to close his subordinates, so he called Shang Longqie and Li Qi to his house after Xiang Liang taught the art of war.
