.When Lu Gaoxin was determined, Wu Bingzong was traveling in the south city of Jiyang County...

"General, look, these yards have been cleared, and there are still trees, flowers and plants on the left and right roads!" A personal soldier pointed to the street and said.

These are rows of shady trees, the soil is still fresh in color and is sprinkled with water.

Wu Xingzong looked at it and said that he is now a fifth-rank general and knows the inside story.

The restoration and construction of Jiyang County is quite special. It is said that this is the order of the governor Yu Liangbo, which is called the so-called "contracting".

In the past, the government paid money, and it made a lot of complaints, and there were even criminals who were working on it.

Now it is contracted to merchants of all sizes. Not only does it cost a penny, it can also receive a sum of money to be filled in the county and county warehouses. These merchants cannot directly use public power to recruit people, and must hire people to build them, so many people have food to eat.

Some abandoned and idle lands are taken back by the government and subcontracted to large businesses, and at least hundreds of shops can be developed here... In a year, large businesses and trading companies make money.

Wu Xingzong was speechless and thought to himself that the court's loyalty is really good at making money!

Wherever they went, a large number of counties quickly recovered their vitality.

At noon, there were constant pedestrians on the street, and some people were busy going home for meals. Passersby looked for a restaurant nearby for meals. The aroma of food was floating on the street, making hungry people unable to help swallowing their saliva secretly.

Wu Xingzong has always been extremely burly, and the war horses he rode were very obvious. There were a few soldiers who were also wearing casual clothes but could see at a glance that the soldiers followed him. Therefore, along the way, few people dared to look at him.

Occasionally, someone will look at you, and you will be attracted by the momentum. Soon, you will turn your eyes carefully.

"General, we have a rare trip. The restaurant in front of us heard that there is good wine, which is worse than that."

Smelling the aroma of wine and the aroma of food, several of the personal soldiers who were already a little hungry couldn't help swallowing their saliva and the person closest to Wu Xingzong in front. At this time, they urged them to take a few steps forward and whispered to Wu Xingzong.

Wu Xingzong smiled: "I happened to be a little hungry, so I went to that restaurant for lunch before going back!"

As he said that, he looked at him with a smile: "You can order food and drink, but you are not allowed to overdo it, we have to go back to the military camp in the afternoon!"

"Hehe, thank you General!" the personal soldiers said happily.

Wu Xingzong looked at it, a little bit of a pity. If he was in an ordinary army, he would have a lot of room for his place to be planted. Originally, all the brothers in the village could arrange it.

Unfortunately, it was transferred to the cavalry camp. The cavalry camp was very strict and had a small number of people, so it was difficult to install people even if his little brother Tang Yuan was separated.

Now only these ten personal soldiers are considered their own villagers. No matter how strict Wu Xingzong is, he naturally needs to take care of him.

In the Dacheng Army, the salary paid is different depending on the type of troops and the team.

After each battle, the generals and schools will be allowed to leave some of the spoils according to the level, but ordinary soldiers will receive very little cash.

This is still very common when the Dacheng Army does not deduct wages, and it is very common to have to be detained in the army of other princes.

There are few such situations in the Dacheng Army. Someone dares to do this and will be killed directly. The strict military discipline maintains the basic treatment of ordinary soldiers.

There is no mistake in the military rewards of great military merits. If the soldiers have food, they will not be given land or beheaded, there will be more land and houses. However, whether it is the soldiers, soldiers, or sergeant commanders, they will not directly give money, but are given to the family behind them. Therefore, in fact, there are not many soldiers in their hands.

Therefore, the general must take action.

The group walked for a while and came to the restaurant they mentioned.

Looking up, I saw that the restaurant was only two floors, and it was very repaired. I just stood outside and could smell the tempting fragrance of wine. I smelled the fragrance and realized the wine. Wu Xingzong turned over and got off the horse, and felt hungry in his stomach.

There was a restaurant guy who saw this group of people long ago.

Seeing a few people riding war horses, the leader, although he was in plain clothes, was very high-quality, he knew that he was a financial backer.

"Several guests, look at him, but it's the first time I've been to our restaurant?" The guy greeted him with a smile, but he was polite to Wu Xingzong.

The guy's eyes are very poisonous and he always comes and sees him off. He knows who is the leader of this group.

Wu Xingzong smiled faintly: "Yes, this is my first time."

"You are right here, this guest official! In our restaurant, the signature dishes are the same and the wine is brewed by oneself, and people praise them! Are you here with you? Come in quickly, the small horses will take care of them carefully and give them the best forage!"

"You are very eloquent, this is your reward. You have to take care of several horses for us!" Wu Xingzong threw a small piece of silver over and walked inward.

Several personal soldiers followed him, and the guy hurriedly let them in. After asking, he shouted loudly: "Five people upstairs!"

Go out to take care of their horses.

Upon the second floor, sat down by the window, Wu Xingzong was alone, and the four personal soldiers who came with him opened the table.

Wu Xingzong ordered: "Put some of the signature dishes you have here first, and then a pot of wine. There are four kinds of wine on this table, a small pot of wine, and the combination of meat and vegetables is up to you. If it is not enough, I will call you again."

"Don't worry, this restaurant is a very good restaurant. The wine is aged wine, so it's worthy of you to satisfy your meal!" As he said that, he served fruit orders and tea on both tables and went to urge the serving.

Wu Xingzong sat alone, and the seating position was very convenient for viewing the street view outside. Because it was on the second floor, the view was very wide. When he lowered his head, he was busy and bustling. The prosperous scene was full of sight.

While watching casually, a few teenagers laughed and ran over from the restaurant where they were. Although they were worn out, they were still pretty clean.

In the territory controlled by the Dacheng Army, even if the decline had just been pacified, there was little hunger.

This is mainly a large number of subcontracted projects, which leads to a large number of manpower. As long as he is willing to work, he will never be hungry and full when he was young."

Wu Xingzong recalled his childhood without realizing it.

Although the world was not in chaos at that time, the emperor's power was in vain, and the princes in various places were in charge of their own affairs. They were levied and had a meal for war. If they had parents, they could have a meal. If they became orphans, they could only depend on their luck.

When I was a child, I ate a lot. At that time, even my children had a lot of food. I ate a hundred families like this and could survive smoothly even if I ate so much.

As he grew older, no one was willing to give him food. In order to survive, he could only find a way out. However, he was naughty since he was a child and no one was willing to ask him to do things. He had no choice but to gather a few orphans to become gangsters.

The more this happens, the more disliked the inspector Li in the county and always made trouble. Perhaps it was from then on that time that he wanted to get rid of his destiny one day, and only Master Gao Jing in the temple was very nice to him. Every time they came to ask for food, they would always help him.

I cannot forget the great kindness of Master Gao Jing.

Thinking of Master Gao Jing, Wu Xingzong sighed slightly. The last time the demon monk assassinated the emperor, he carried out a large-scale purge. Wu Xingzong felt that this was right. It would be impossible not to punish these demon monks.

The people are in distress and the monk is rich and fat. Even Wu Xingzong is very clear about this. Master Gao Jing’s great kindness is one thing, and the entire Brahma Sect is another thing.

But Master Gao Jing didn't know if he had been implicated, so he had to take time to go back and take care of him.

"This guest, this is the wine and food you want." The sound in his ears made Wu Xingzong come to his senses, and he took his eyes away from the window. He looked up and saw a guy put the wine and food in the tray on the table in front of him. He put the white wine glass of mutton fat in front of him. He was about to lift the wine pot to pour wine, but Wu Xingzong stopped him and said, "I will do this myself."

"Yes, the guest official has any instructions, just call the young one." Seeing this, the guy stepped back.

There were wine and food on another table, and several soldiers started to eat

Wu Xingzong carried the wine pot and poured a glass of wine himself. He picked it up and sipped it gently. He savored it carefully. There was a plate of neatly paired with fruits, which looked bright.

Just as I was using it, I heard the stairs ringing, a middle-aged man walked in, smiling and standing and looking at it, he could see Wu Xingzong who was using it.

"This young man, is a local?" the middle-aged man came to the table and whispered.

Wu Xingzong frowned: "Who are you?"

Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man, wearing a blue robe, with a short beard, narrow eyes, vigorous steps, and a bit of fairy-like charm. He saw this man smiling and bowing to Wu Xingzong: "The villain is just a minister. Seeing that the young master is extraordinary, he is willing to meet him and ask for a glass of wine to drink!"

Wu Xingzong smiled sneeredly and said, "It turns out that he is a monk. You don't go to set up a stall, but you come here to ask for wine. I wonder what magical powers do you have?"

The middle-aged man looked silently and said, "This young master said it well. If you don't have the ability, how can you ask for a glass of wine in front of you? It's just that I have had strange ideas since I was a child and have practiced secrets, but I still dared to ask for a glass."

Wu Xingzong laughed loudly, stopped his smile for a moment, and said lightly: "It's rare to have courage, so please take your seat."

"Thank you, young master!" The young master said thanking with a smile, then sat down and met Wu Xingzong.

"I don't know..., the young master's surname?" After carefully facing each other, the young master asked.

"The surname is Wu." Wu Xingzong said, "I have nothing to do today, so he brought his personal soldiers out to relax in the city, but he didn't want to meet a monk who came to chat with him."

I don’t have the time to meet each other on weekdays. If I have nothing to do today, just see what the other party can say.

Unexpectedly, the accuser looked at it and showed a shocked expression. He hesitated again and said, "Can you please move there and speak?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a location in the corner. Because of the dim light and no windows, few people gathered, which was a hidden place for talking.

Wu Xingzong was just a joke, treating it as a pastime. When he saw this man's behavior, he suddenly felt a stern in his heart. He stared at this man and said lightly for a moment: "I'll follow you."

He sneered, waved his personal soldiers back and stood up.
