When Zhou Huai'an returned to his residence in Jiangling City with some kind of cheerful mind, he was awakened by the greets of Yingying Yanyan and soft words from the inner door.
"The chief governor is well..."
But I haven't come back for a while, and there are many new faces in the back house. Looking at these women in Cui Chang pink skirts, the layers are divided into one, I am afraid that there are not dozens of people.
The skirts, sleeves, countless pink arms and scented shoulders that flew up as they prayed together, and even the air seemed to be filled with some kind of ubiquitous powder, sweat, and hormones. breath,
And Cao Hongyao, who is in the middle of the stars holding the moon, dressed in a pomegranate halo-yellow skirt and aqua-colored silk, is also more like a Huajiao step forward and solemnly said:
"Congratulations to Zhou Lang for his help... Luo Jiangdong's poetry is famous, and his concubine is already well-known..."
Seeing this smiling face, Zhou Huaian's inexplicable thoughts and annoyances will slowly calm down, but only a kind of warmth and quiet peace of mind and steadiness remains.
"It should be the same joy and congratulation... After all, it is you and me..."
Zhou Huaian clung to his forehead with affection.
"Of course, if you appreciate his literary talents and writings, you will have a lot of time in the future to ask for some advice... In addition, I also plan to form a teacher group headed by him to teach a few children in the family to increase their knowledge and literary rhyme. Well..."
"Zhou Lang is really thoughtful,"
The blushing red medicine could not help but nod.
"By the way, there are so many people in my family..."
Zhou Huaian stopped her and continued to ask inadvertently.
"That's what I said to Lang Jun last time. From the people sent by my mother, the concubine selected some to walk among the writers... Zhou Lang felt that there was something wrong with it."
Cao Hongyao in his arms looked at Zhou Huaian's face somewhat carefully.
"No, if you find it easy to use. Of course, you should pay attention to it in the private room..."
Zhou Huai'an didn't take it seriously, stroking her beautiful hair like a waterfall and smiled.
"It's just that my mother asked again and asked... I asked my concubine body, but I was pregnant with... and also returned it, let someone bring something..."
Hong Yao'er's face was flushed to the base of her ears again, and she used a soft voice that resembled a mosquito.
"In fact, Yao'er, for the sake of your body and children, you still have to wait until the right age before you can do the things that work together to fly, the gift of Dun Lun and Zhou Gong."
Seeing her slightly resentful and graceful, expectant eyes, Zhou Huaian said gently and apologetically.
"I don't want you to take the big risk of having a difficult childbearing prematurely; even if you regret the rest of your life, the root of the disease is difficult to break..."
"Since my concubine can't serve Zhou Lang well for the time being, I ask Zhou Lang to take in a lot of good ladies in the house and choose him as a son of Guang."
When Cao Hongyao heard the words, there was both joy and melancholy and cut his voice.
"What's wrong with you, medicine..."
Zhou Huaian was not surprised to stop and look at her in the corridor.
"No... it's nothing, it's all about the book sent by my mother... As a model woman in all dynasties, shouldn't it be the case..."
She lowered her head in a panic, but slipped a few thin books in her arms.
"Actually, the medicine I like and admire... but that's not the case."
After picking up these "Nv Commandments", "Nv Ze" and "Nv Training Book", Zhou Huaian was serious about the red Yaoer who bowed his head and twisted the hanging bun with his fingers:
"She is neither the virtuous and virtuous grandson Wugou, nor the infinitely virtuous Ban Jieyu, nor the frustrated and sad Cai Wenji. It is the red medicine who does not fake his true temperament... There is no need to do anything for this. The role model of our ancestors, but if you make mistakes and change yourself...
"Now what I'm doing is really a great cause of changing the world, taking an unprecedented road of overcoming obstacles, and you don't have to rigidly use the strength of these ancients to force yourself... Everything just needs to follow the current situation and start from the heart. ."
"Zhou Lang is really good to the concubine body, too lenient, and the slave doesn't know what to do..."
Cao Hongyao's eyes were full of water, and he clung to Zhou Huaian's chest reflexively.
—I am the dividing line —
In the frosty and snowy city of Yun City, the cage was blazing and reflected in the brightly lit Jieya Public Hall.
After the Tianping Army stayed, Cao Xiang worked hard to deal with the piles of documents in front of him. It has been more than a month since Wei Bojun had withdrawn. However, after the enemy retreated, the situation and predicament he had to face did not improve or even deteriorate.
Although there was no shortage of materials and costs, the contradictions and problems that had been forcibly covered up because of external threats seemed to burst out all at once. In this month, he has dealt with seven incidents in the army, and personally executed dozens of warriors and officers who violated various regulations.
However in the meantime. There are even people who come to the door to plead and persuade him. There is no need to be so harsh and demanding for the old military officials and soldiers who have been able to defend the city. A few people in the city will die if they die, only these soldiers under the government. , Is the foundation of resisting external humiliation and standing up for a long time.
And he also discovered at the time that this was obviously not the knowledge of a certain person or certain people, but a general view that prevailed among the remaining soldiers and officials of the Tianping Army, in a sense that the law does not blame the public. So in the follow-up and in-depth handling of some things, even he can't help but become helpless.
Among them, when dealing with a treasury officer who robbed and sold army Zi, this accumulated dissatisfaction and backlash made him have to compromise; instead, he gave up the method of killing a hundred, but robbed him of his wealth in order to compensate. Then let him die suddenly in prison and that's it.
From this, he also experienced some kind of trembling called walking on thin ice, or the horrible chill of walking on the edge of a cliff. Because in the face of a certain common position, the old Cao’s tribesmen, the old fangs from the back house, and the new entrants who devoted themselves to a certain common position all used some inaction to show their attitude.
At that time, Cao Xiang was also deeply worried and secretly suspicious. If it were not for the threat of Wei Bojun from the outside, Yunzhou City would still need him as a charismatic leader to maintain the situation, perhaps it was common in the towns. The scene of the soldiers admonishing Yi Shuai.
He finally understood everything that he had brought back to life, the plan and plan to improve people's livelihood, and the biggest enemy he had to face were undoubtedly those who controlled the traditional rules and interests under the old Tianping Army system. General officers. It is also the largest group he needs to rely on and use at the moment.
In other words, he can stubbornly get rid of any obstacles and obstructions that jump out, but he can't eradicate or move them. Behind these clowns, those generals, military households and rich families, are composed of generations of in-laws and interests. alliance.
Therefore, Cao Xiang could only suppress the unrestrained and surging anger in his heart, and afterwards, happily convened a banquet to appease those who should have been punished and paid, and even took out valuables from the treasury. The money comes from the silk, wooing and dividing them in the name of rewards.
At least until the formation of a new dental soldier based on the team he brought back was completed, he didn't even dare to sleep too deeply; even less dare to get close to female sex. And under the bedding, there was a sword and armor to remind myself of the basic principles of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
All of them reminded him of the experience of Li Cuan, the former Gui Guan Jinglue who was writing a book in the large workshop, last time when he was parting in the south. After all, this is also the highest-ranking former court official among thieves.
"Xuan'an, don't you think that since the rise of the Taiping Army, it has been lighter than rewarding goods and paying attention to welfare in kind. Does it always have deep meaning and connotation?"
Li Cuan, who seemed to be quite open-minded and lenient, shook Pu Shan and sighed:
"Since Qianyuan, the world has gradually deteriorated, and why did the towns continue to be self-reliant?... The old man, the army, also served as the subordinate of several towns in his early years, and now he has the opportunity to sit down and reflect on it, which is somewhat clear. Up..."
"It's nothing more than the gradual deterioration of the national system, and the higher-ranking people are beginning to go back and forth for the momentary authority and security. The imperial court is also the same, so is the vassal... ; Yu Guochao and Yu's awe of the system are increasingly dissipated."
"So every time a military commander takes office, he must first use his wealth to reward him, or the army will slaughter his dissidents, and he will be safe for a while. But the soldiers in the town become more arrogant and domineering, and the number of rewards is slightly dissatisfied. Then they will coerce, coerce, and expel the military commander, and even drive themselves away for the ambitious..."
"Such accumulating evils are getting worse and the money needed is exhausted under the rule. However, the imperial court and the military commanders indulge in endless people who want to succeed, and the people's resources and materials under the rule will eventually be exhausted. Such repeated repetition must ultimately be that people Is gradually dying and increasingly exhausted?"
"Since the dynasty has been over a hundred years ago, although there are many capable people with lofty ideals who have worked hard to save them, they have never been able to solve them; but now I have seen in the Taiping army the root causes and opportunities for ending these chaos rulers..."
"Compared to those belonging to the property that are easily distributed and squandered when they move, these divisions, rations, etc., can continue to benefit themselves and their family’s in-kind welfare. Wouldn't they be the long-term maintenance and grace? At all..."
"Once you get used to bearing and relying on the benefits of the long-flowing water in the army, how many soldiers will be tempted by temporary wealth and easily give up these benefits and expectations that can be sustained..."
"After a long time, I am afraid that it is a few of the generals who have different intentions, and they may not be able to get enough benefits and wealth, or rely on personal means to pull away many people..."
"Therefore, the old man thought that this general governor would not only lead the army and govern politics, but was also a character of the generation that people wanted; I'm afraid it was not the reappearance of the story of Taizong Dingding's military soldiers, and the innovation of the old..."
Cao Xiang was thinking about all the things he had seen and heard in the past, and suddenly the thick barrier was lifted, and suddenly a biting chill came into him.
"There is news from the south..."
An old man covered in wind and snow with a pale face was drawn in and whispered to report.
"You said they couldn't directly support it for the time being, but you gave me a guide to a potential foreign aid..."
Then Cao Xiang asked rhetorically with a somewhat uncertain expression. (End of this chapter)
