Feng Zhong objected eagerly: "Old Tang, don't talk nonsense. You don't know where I am from? And there are only four people in the family. They are satisfied with living in the brick house Yun Qi mentioned. Those big houses are not good enough...

"

"What can't you live in? Yunqi is almost the same as us, can't he live in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind? Don't look down on yourself so much. The brothers in the camp are saying that Yunqi is like the county magistrate now, and you are the county magistrate after the county magistrate.

"Cheng, the county magistrate doesn't deserve to live in a good place?" Tang Hui's smile did not diminish.

Feng Zhong smiled awkwardly, pointed at Tang Yu and shook his head: "You, Old Tang, are the county captain, right? In addition, Master Cao's book is neat, but Yun Qi is different from us. He is destined to do great things, and I enjoy the blessings with him.

.

There will definitely be talented people coming to Hefei in the future. It won’t be a big deal for me to help out for the time being. If I can live in that new-style house in the future, my wife, children and children will be very happy. They can grow vegetables in the front yard and raise chickens in the back yard. The sewage will be discharged directly into the sewage tank. Just think about it.

It’s a beautiful thing.”

Tang Hui flat-mouthed and retorted: "I don't think so. I will follow Yunqi when he lives in the Marquis Mansion. I don't care what talented people come in the future. I don't believe he will drive me away."

Feng Zhong stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are alone. However, there are only a few sentries in the Hou Mansion now, and there are more and more people in the city. Should we get some maids and servants to take care of you? It will save you the trouble of running to my house every day to eat."

"I think it will work."

Tang Wei agreed seriously, saying that he didn't believe Long Xiang could control it if he found a few young women to hang around in the Marquis's mansion even though he hadn't married yet.

Long Xiang saw the two of them singing and harmonizing, and finally involved himself in it, thinking that your plan to rush the marriage was probably agreed upon.

I am only eighteen years old now. It turns out that twenty-eighties in the world are single, so there is no need to be so anxious, okay?

"Uncle Zhong, Uncle Wei, what are you talking nonsense about? Our footing is not yet stable, how about we build Hefei well first?"

Tang Hui shouted: "Don't worry about this matter. There is nothing wrong with finding a few people to cook. Old Feng was right just now. Now all the horses in the city have been given to Master Cao. How far can we walk to eat every day?"

?Won’t going back and forth waste time?”

"this..."

Long Xiang was speechless. He also gave his mount to Cao Xing's cavalry. Only when he went out to inspect the environment, he would have his horse ready in advance and he would walk in the morning and evening to exercise.

After Feng Zhong and Tang Hui made the unilateral decision, they took Cao Xing, who was watching the show, out of the Hou Mansion.

When Long Xiang wants to choose his confidants, his first choice is the key members of the military. Most of them now wear multiple hats and work with Feng Zhong and the others to take charge of Hefei's military affairs.

In the end, there were three officers, six captains, eleven fire heads, as well as Feng Zhong, Tang Hui, and Cao Xing, a total of twenty people who received Long Xiang's training.

The identity numbering system was officially implemented in Hefei in early May. Cao Xing distributed symbol codes from door to door according to the order of entry into the city, requiring people to find a way to mark them on their clothes when they went out to work in the south gate.

The common people used their wisdom to mark, embroider, or smear with charcoal, and the font sizes were also different. They felt particularly proud to accept the inspection with the number, because it was a symbol of the official residents of Hefei.

Under the operation of Feng Zhong and Tang Wei, more than a dozen young girls moved into the Hefei Marquis Mansion one after another. She cleaned the house, did laundry and cooked, so Long Xiang no longer had to walk more than half an hour to Feng's house for food.

As for Feng Zhong and Tang Wei's scheme, it was nothing in Long Xiang's eyes. Firstly, most of these girls were thin, and secondly, they were generally only thirteen or fourteen years old. They really couldn't speak out what they thought.

Long Xiang was as steady as an old dog, which made Tang Hui, who also lived in the house, puzzled. Is there any hidden disease in him? Or does he really want to marry me before he can remarry? Long Yuan had never had such a problem before.

It’s midsummer in June, and it’s noon.

The main hall of the Marquis Mansion in Hefei was extremely cool, and Long Xiang was leaning on the table to finalize the house plan.

Because there was only Longxiang in the city and Cao Xing could write, all the precious paper and ink found were sent to the Marquis Mansion for safekeeping.

Unless it is a particularly important document, Long Xiang generally does not use paper to record it. After all, the paper and ink he picked up will be less when used. He has to wait for craftsmen to come to the city and build a workshop before these luxuries can be continued.

Hefei is developing slowly and has a sparse population. Long Xiang dare not call in businessmen for the time being. He is afraid that the big outside forces will care about him and he will have to work hard for several years to pick peaches.

With 300 men defending Hefei City, it would be easy for them to be taken away by a wave of enemy high ground incisors.

While Long Xiang was tracing the line, he suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps.

Following Tang Wei's shouting, the voice was very unfriendly to the maid.

"Bring me a bowl of cold water quickly."

"General, wait a moment..."

Although Tang Wei was a rough man, he was usually very compassionate. He always spoke softly to the maids in the house, but today his tone was very harsh, which obviously made the little girl in the palace uncomfortable. There was a tremor in his reply tone.

Long Xiang lay on his back and asked, "Uncle Wei, who made you unhappy today? Why do you feel so angry?"

"Hmph, who else could it be? I've known Lao Feng for more than ten years, and he actually spoke for Cao Xing today. I'm really pissed off."

Tang Wei sat down on the ground.

Long Xiang was still focused at first, but when he suddenly heard a conflict between his left and right hands, he immediately stopped what he was doing, got up and walked over to Tang Wei's position.

Taking the water brought by the maid, Long Xiang also sat cross-legged in front of Tang Hui, and then handed the bowl to him with both hands.

"It's hot and it's easy to get angry. Please take a sip of water first and then talk to your nephew about why you had a dispute."

Tang Huigudong drank a bowl of water, wiped the sweat from the corner of his mouth, and explained angrily: "It's not a matter of detail. He helped Cao Xing cover it up and prevented me from taking the mastermind back for interrogation."

"More than one person can do this? Please tell me in detail." Long Xiang was surprised when he heard this.

Tang Hui said slowly: "I don't know the exact number of people, but the number will definitely not be small. My people have been checking at the south gate for the past two days and captured three refugees who wanted to sneak out of the city.

They were sophistical at first, but it turned out that my whip didn't recognize anyone. Finally, one of them couldn't stand the whipping, so he revealed that their master was in Kiln No. 5.

Yunqi, if you can be called master, can you have fewer followers?"

"Hey... we have a big shot coming to Hefei?"

Long Xiang slammed the floor and asked: "Although Mr. Cao comes later, he is also very loyal to his nephew. How could he cover up the innocent uncle? Uncle Zhong will not harm us, right?"

Tang Wei moved his body and said with disdain: "It's not like that guy is well-spoken. He is probably a scholar who studies. Cao Xing wants to keep him as a helper to reduce some of the burden on himself."

"There is a reason for everything. Uncle Wei should know the situation in Hefei. Cao Xing's work is indeed heavy..."

Long Xiang nodded slightly and said to himself that Hefei is in short supply of educated people now. If they weren't some treacherous and evil people, he would very much like to keep them here.

Tang Wei snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if Cao Xing wants to use it. At the very least, he has to find out the details before he can feel at ease. That guy sent people to test the identity number many times. I was afraid that he had some sinister purpose, but both Lao Feng and Cao Xing stopped me from taking him."
