The rain in late summer comes and goes quickly, but the streets look very clean after the rain.

Throughout the day, Qin Xiao dealt with a lot of things.

Dealing with things is a technical job. If there is no overall idea, many things will be complicated, which will make people tangled and overwhelmed. On the contrary, if you grasp the essentials of handling things, many seemingly complicated things will become very complicated.

Simple.

Long Rui's arms control covers western Liaoning, and has extended its power to Yingping County. Facing a powerful enemy like the Liaodong Army, there are really too many things to deal with if one has to do everything personally.

But Qin Xiao also gradually understood that the key to overall management was actually how to employ people.

By using the most suitable people to do the most suitable things, many problems will be solved.

To win over the people and let them live a good life, land equalization policy is naturally the most important method. Bai Yulou led a group of people in western Liaoning to inspect the land and divide the land in an orderly manner and implement administrative orders, but this also prevented Qin Xiao from having to spend too much energy on his own.

Spend money on that.

Bai Yulou and others have spent many years studying the land equalization policy, and have repeatedly scrutinized every step and detail. Moreover, these people are indeed ambitious. Qin Xiao knows that as long as nothing unexpected happens, these people will definitely implement it.

The land equalization policy will continue to be implemented.

Although Qin Xiao had a general understanding of Juntian Ce, if he really had to take charge of this matter personally, he really didn't know where to start.

Inspecting land and opening fields, verifying household registrations, distributing fields, and publicizing tax standards all require a lot of energy. Each of these requires professional officials to do practical work. Not only must they try to avoid too big conflicts with local wealthy gentry,

Conflicts of interest, and the need to let the people understand the essentials of land equalization policy, Qin Xiao himself could not handle any of these matters properly.

But Bai Yulou and others handled it in an orderly manner, which made Qin Xiao understand why he needed to understand more than anything, but he had to let the experts do the work.

And he knew very well that there were only three things he needed most at the moment, one was the people's support, the other was money and food, and the third was soldiers and horses.

People's support is the most important thing, and it is also the basis for one's own foothold. With the foundation of one's foothold, one needs to have military and financial power, so that one can have the strength to survive.

The dramatic changes in Kyoto, if there is no strong man to turn the tide, the situation in the world will only get worse and worse, and the disintegration of the Tang Empire will be inevitable.

Qin Xiao naturally hoped to eradicate the Tantai rebel party, turn the tide and reverse the situation, revitalize the Tang Dynasty, and save the people of the world from the suffering of war.

But he also understood that no matter the current situation or Long Ruijun's current strength, he could not actually reverse the overall situation.

Even if you want to get rid of Tantai Xuanye, the premise is that Long Ruijun must survive.

Today is different from the past. There are tens of thousands of people under his command. The future of these people's life and death is in his hands. In the Northeast, there is no way to retreat. If you want these people to survive, they can only overcome all the thorns in front of them.

Cut off.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. It is absolutely impossible for the Liaodong Army to watch Long Rui's army survive in the Northeast. Facts have also proved this.

In the end, only one force from both sides could survive on this land, so Qin Xiao knew that he had no other choice but to go to the end. Either the Liaodong Army would be defeated, or the Long Rui Army would lose its place to survive.

This confrontation has already caused a big blow to the Liaodong Army. The morale of the other side is low, but the morale of his own side is high. Therefore, Qin Xiao also judged that the Liaodong Army will only adopt a defensive strategy at the moment. Huangfu Yunzhao suffered so much.

If you suffer a loss, you definitely don’t dare to act rashly.

It is extremely important to take advantage of this period to strengthen armaments, especially the stockpiling of grain and grass supplies.

It wasn't until dark that Qin Xiao explained many things. Thinking that he hadn't been to Suzaku for some days, and wondering if Aunt Ying had adapted to life here, he changed into casual clothes and went to the street to buy some snacks.

, then went to Zhuque's small courtyard.

The snacks he bought were small specialties from the Northeast, but he was thinking that when Suzaku arrived in the Northeast, he would definitely not leave the courtyard easily and walk around. He might not be aware of the existence of these specialties, so he took some with him and let Aunt Ying taste them.

After all, she is here alone with no one else around, so she must be very lonely.

And Qin Xiao has not forgotten that Aunt Ying must have been preparing medicine for herself recently, and she must have spent a lot of energy on it. No matter what, she should express her gratitude.

When we arrived at the small private school, the sky had already darkened.

The security of Guangning City is under the responsibility of Yuwen Chengchao, who patrols day and night. Ever since Long Ruijun entered the city, the security of Guangning City has actually been pretty good. Although it is impossible to pick up lost items on the road, Long Ruijun has been very careful with the people in the city.

There is no crime, so the people have accepted the existence of Long Ruijun. From the initial vigilance and fear towards Long Ruijun, now there is no longer any hostility.

The small private school is far away from the noisy place, remote and quiet. Almost no one comes to this deserted small private school on weekdays. After dark, it looks even more deserted.

Qin Xiao tied up his horse and arrived outside the fence gate. There was a dead silence in the courtyard. The sound of insects all around could be clearly heard. If it weren't for the dim light shining through the inner window on the left, people would have thought that there was no place here at all.

No one can live there.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that it was fortunate that Aunt Ying was very good at martial arts. If she were an ordinary woman, who would dare to live alone in such a remote place.

He gently opened the door, entered, turned around and closed the fence gate, and then entered the courtyard.

He did not conceal the sound of his footsteps, but after all, his cultivation was not weak, so his footsteps were still very light. Before he reached the door, he saw the window with the light on opened, and a mature and beautiful face was behind the window.

Qin Xiao smiled at that side, thinking that Aunt Ying was worthy of being in the sixth level, and her footsteps were so slight that she still noticed them.

He did not go to the door, but walked directly to the window and said with a smile: "Aunt Ying, have you eaten?"

"You're back?" Suzaku smiled faintly and said, "When did you come back?"

Perhaps she lives alone, or perhaps the weather is still a bit sultry, so Aunt Ying's clothes are very casual and light, with a rather thin gray robe draped over her body. Perhaps because of her religious practice, Suzaku's clothes have always been simple, not

I like colors that are too bright, but I like clothes like light gray, especially light-colored robes, which are very popular with Yingyi.

Qin Xiao knew that Zhuque didn't have this gray robe, so he should have gone out and bought it himself.

Anyway, I gave her several thousand taels of silver, which was more than enough to buy medicinal materials.

Although this gray robe is very ordinary, when worn on Auntie Ying, it cannot conceal her good figure.

At this age, she is already a ripe berry, and her body bones are different from those of a girl. She has a curvy figure, bulging breasts, and looks quite plump. In addition, her face is slightly round, and her skin is very supple due to maintenance.

So it looks round and round.

"Back to the city yesterday." Qin Xiao also knew that Long Rui's army was dispatching troops to fight. Many people in the city knew that it was impossible for Suzaku to stay in this small private school without going out. As long as he went to the market, he could always hear the news.

, explained: "But I had to deal with a lot of things yesterday, and I had to meet some people in the house today, so I haven't been able to find time to come over. I had just sorted out the things, so I made time to come over and see the movie.

Is everything okay here?"

Suzaku nodded slightly and said, "You came earlier than I thought." Then he said, "I'll open the door for you."

"No, I'll just go in through the window." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "To avoid trouble." He motioned to Zhuque to take two steps back. Zhuque was a little surprised, but still stepped back. Qin Xiao then climbed over the window and entered directly.

Inside Suzaku's room.

After he entered, Suzaku seemed to hesitate for a moment, and without saying anything, he stepped forward and closed the window.

Qin Xiao looked around, everything was as usual, roughly the same as the last time he came here, nothing had changed.

However, there is a faint fragrance floating in the room. Qin Xiao knows that Zhuque cultivators do not apply makeup and powder. The fragrance in the room is definitely not the scent of makeup, powder and water. It can only be the body fragrance emanating from this mature beauty. After all, she has been taking it for many years.

Various high-quality medicinal materials are used to maintain the body, and the fragrance emitted by the body is also unique.

"Sit down." Zhuque raised his hand to wrap his coat and said, "I'll make you some tea!"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "No, no, no." He put the oil paper bag in his hand on the table and said, "This is a snack. I don't know if Auntie Ying likes it, but I heard that it tastes good. Auntie Ying will try it."

Look, if you like it, I’ll bring it to you later.”

Suzaku was a little surprised, glanced at the oil paper bag, and said softly: "Thank you." After Qin Xiao sat down, he said: "Looking at your spirit, this time the troops are sent out, it should be a triumphant return, right?"

Qin Xiao did not hide anything, and gave a general summary of the results of the battle. Zhuque said lightly: "To be honest, the Liaodong Army has not fought a real fierce battle for many years, but they still thought they were the invincible cavalry army back then. They

I looked down on you so much, and it’s not surprising that you came back defeated." A charming smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "But you released so many Liaodong soldiers, are you not afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"Staying here will only waste my food." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I can't kill them all. Those soldiers are not my enemies, and I don't want them to hate Long Ruijun."

Suzaku's beautiful eyes turned slightly, as if she didn't want to interfere too much in such a topic, and asked: "Then what are you going to do next? Are you going to send troops to attack Shunjincheng? Or... are you going to take some rest?"

"At this time, it is too difficult to attack Shunjin, so there is no need to rush." ​​Qin Xiao said: "Let's rest for a while and replenish food and equipment. We will see the situation there before making a decision."

Zhuque hummed softly and sat down on a chair by the table. He glanced at Qin Xiao and saw that Qin Xiao was also looking at him. He felt a little embarrassed and said softly: "Will you be very busy these days?"

Qin Xiao heard what he meant and said hurriedly: "Most of the things have been arranged today, and many things do not require me to do it myself. I will call everyone to discuss some things tomorrow. After the things that should be arranged are arranged, if there are no other changes, I should be able to

Just free up a few days."

"It will take seven days...!" Zhuque glanced sideways at Qin Xiao, unable to meet Qin Xiao's eyes, but still tried his best to appear calm and said softly: "Although I don't need to stay here all the time every day,

But within seven days, you can't interrupt even one day. If you interrupt for one day, all your efforts will be wasted...!" Under the light, her cheeks turned red, making her look even more charming and charming, and her voice became even softer: "Are you sure nothing will go wrong?
