Chen Er stood at the door of the house and shouted: "Come and see..."
The guards who were passing by the door in the courtyard looked over in surprise and saw Xiang Nan pulling Chen Er in by his shoulders.
Everyone looked away and got used to it. Ergou quarreled with Captain Xiang again.
Lieutenant Xiang is gentle and charming, making people fall in love with him at first sight, but his aura is also distant, and he doesn't like to talk very much. No one dares to get too close to him, except this countryman named Ergou.
, often shouting and gesticulating in front of Captain Xiang.
Xiang Nan has never been angry with him, because this soldier was the first person he met to lend a helping hand after he fought bloody battles at Fanyang Camp in Ankang Mountain.
Xiang Duwei is a man who values friendship.
Lieutenant Xiang, who valued friendship and friendship, laughed in the room: "You don't need to ask everyone to come and see. You can just take a look and answer."
Chen Er sneered: "How can I count if I say it alone? Everyone says beautiful people are called beauties."
Xiang Nan said: "I don't want to be a beauty who will captivate the whole country. I want to be an ordinary beauty. It's enough if you say I can."
Chen Er sneered: "I said you are good-looking, so what?"
Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and touched his face. He seemed to think about it seriously, and then shook his head: "It's not that good. They didn't marry me because of my face."
As Xiang Yun said, they have never met themselves, so there is no deep love that lasts a lifetime, it is just a transaction.
Of course, the reason why he was chosen was because his face could be used, which showed the sincerity of the Xiang family.
If it weren't for him, there would be others in the Xiang family.
He doesn't even know whether to think highly of himself or not to take himself seriously.
But he understood what Xiang Yun meant. Xiang Yun said bluntly this time, don't take marriage seriously. No one takes this seriously. It's not worth the joy and sorrow. Everything is a transaction and benefit.
"What did Governor Xiang say?" Chen Er asked, looking at Xiang Nan's face, "Why do you look unhappy again?"
Xiang Nan said: "It's okay. My uncle can't come to teach martial arts. I can only rely on myself to teach martial arts."
Chen Er pouted: "It turns out it's because I can no longer serve as a general beside the emperor."
Xiang Nan sighed and said: "Yes, we still have to fight and kill in this small place... No, it doesn't even count as fighting."
Chen Er didn't like hearing this: "Compared with just wanting to gain fame by fighting and killing, I think it's not a bad thing not to fight and kill."
Xiang Nan smiled and said: "You think a lot, can you make the decision? You just want what you want."
Chen Er glared and was about to jump when a guard came in from outside: "Captain, the county magistrate sent someone to say that there is a family outside the city who refuses to hand over nano grains. Let us send troops to catch them."
They had just captured the city, and Xiang Nan was in charge of guarding the city with soldiers and horses. Lady Chu's people were responsible for the settlement of the city. The county magistrates and officials were also selected by Lady Chu. The newly appointed officials were busy checking the population and providing relief to the victims.
Busy, noisy, noisy, noisy.
These places were occupied by rebels, and most of them had no government offices. The soldiers and horses showed off their power, and the wealthy businessmen and powerful families relied on supplying these soldiers and horses to show off their power.
Now that the government is established, the first thing to do is to ask the people to fight against the current difficulties. They charge head fees from wealthy businessmen and powerful people from aristocratic families, and ask them to provide manpower to work as laborers. They also lend the abandoned and uncultivated fields to the refugees and disaster victims for cultivation.
.....
If wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families cannot bear this injustice, they will cause trouble.
When they make trouble with the government, they naturally need to be dealt with by the guards.
Chen Er laughed happily: "The opportunity to fight and kill has come."
Xiang Nan said: "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife." He picked up a command talisman on the table and threw it to the guards who came in, "Let Brigadier Yang lead the troops."
The guard grabbed the command talisman and went out in response.
Chen Er crossed his arms and frowned: "I don't think this is right. Jiannan Road only sends people but not troops. They caused trouble here, so they asked us to suppress and arrest people. They looked like they were angry and loved the people and endured the humiliation. We
Then he became a ferocious god that everyone feared."
"That seems to be the case." Xiang Nan said, stroking his chin, "I told you why when I go out recently, everyone looks away and looks wary and fearful when they see me. I think I don't look that scary after all."
Chen Er snorted: "Yes, no matter how good-looking you are, if you have a bad reputation, everyone will be scared when they see you, so what's the use of caring about whether you look good or not."
Xiang Nan asked: "Mrs. Chu is still crowded as always when she travels. No one is afraid."
Chen Er snorted: "You still want to compete with Mrs. Chu's beauty?"
Xiang Nan laughed: "Don't dare."
Chen Er didn't want to talk about Mrs. Chu anymore. He made a face when he received a letter of concern from his blood relatives. When he mentioned Mrs. Chu, who had nothing to do with him and was irritating, he kept laughing. If he kept laughing like this, he would get into trouble even if nothing happened.
Well, he still doesn’t know what’s wrong with men!
"Don't laugh, this is such a bad reputation." Chen Er said, "We can't let her instigate us and ruin our reputation like this."
Xiang Nan stopped laughing and said seriously: "But no matter who does it, this is a good thing, right?"
Why do we need to levy money and food from the rich? Because the government has no money and food. If you want people to survive, then you have to steal from the rich and give to the poor. If only the rich can survive, this city will be in chaos sooner or later, and everyone can survive.
Only then can the city be stabilized.
Rich people also know this truth, but in the face of troubled times, few people can do it to loosen their life-saving money and food, so the government can only act as the villain, set the rules, intimidate, and push everyone to live together.
It allows more people to survive, although it is unfair to some people. Chen Er nodded: "It is a good thing."
Xiang Nan looked a little disappointed: "You see, if you want to do something, you can't just have a good reputation. But there are many people who don't see what others do and only listen to their reputation."
His uncle was right. He organized the Xuanwu Dao and saw with his own eyes that many soldiers, generals and generals were selfish. Without the court and the people, he also saw with his own eyes that not everyone was like this, such as Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu is wholeheartedly trying to calm down the troubled times and help the people to end their displacement.
She has a close relationship with Han Xu, and it is undeniable that she also does it for profit, but this profit is used to stabilize the city and protect the people.
She kills wealthy families and brutally punishes officials, not to show off her power, but to maintain order. If she can't control the army, she can't defend the city.
She likes handsome men...
But she didn't like herself.
Xiang Nan reached out and touched her face, and couldn't help but laugh again. Is it because he is not beautiful enough? Or is he not able to bring her enough benefits?
Since there are interests between people, you should choose the people you want to trade with.
Xiang Nan pursed his lips: "I want to write a letter to Mrs. Chu."
Chen Er immediately stared: "You!"
"I want to ask Mrs. Chu whether it's okay to always let me do evil things." Xiang Nansurong said.
Well, it's time to question. Since it's cooperation, we can't let only one party suffer. Chen Er swallowed the rest of his words, but watched Xiang Nan roll up his sleeves, study ink, and pick the pens on the table...
.
"Should you also write a reply to your family?" Chen Er reminded, "Your uncle, your wife..."
Xiang Nan said: "I should write a letter to my wife."
Since everyone is here to put on a show, let’s do it.
"Go find a letter writer." Xiang Nan said without raising his head, "Let my wife know that she is safe and talk about her daily life."
As for my uncle...
Xiang Nan looked at Xiang Yun's letter on the table. Did his uncle and the court originally think of Mrs. Chu in this way? But it doesn't matter. People's hearts are revealed over time, and when things are done, they will recognize a person's true character.
He put away Xiang Yun's letter, spread out a piece of soft letter paper, and wrote the four words "Mrs. Chu" with his pen.
...
...
"Xiang Nan's letter?"
Li Minglou sat in front of the window, looking at the rain falling outside, frowning slightly. Huainan Road had a lot of rain this summer. Don't affect the city defense. After three years of chaos, have the dams not been inspected and repaired?
"Let it go for now, I'm very busy thinking about things now."
The child responded and put it on the desk. Yuanji didn't care. He was concerned about the progress of Xuanwu Dao. These people with past Jiannan Dao sent back the news in detail, and the progress has been smooth.
"Master Song has arranged for the various state governments to conduct a strict investigation on the river embankment, and has also sent inspection officials to see it in person." Yuan Ji continued, "The houses of the refugees are also being inspected to prevent them from collapsing due to rainwater soaking...
.”
Li Minglou nodded: "I can rest assured that Mr. Song will do his job."
Yuanji then started talking about Linzhou: "There are rumors about Madam over there..."
At this point, another child ran in through the rain and fog: "Madam, Madam, a letter from the Governor."
There are many governors in the world today, but there is only one whose name is not mentioned in front of his wife, Governor Wu.
Li Minglou sat up straight, his eyes sparkling: "Why is the letter coming at this time? Let me take a look." He did not forget to say to Yuan Ji, "Uncle Yuan Ji, let me read the letter first."
Then don't be too busy and think about other things. Yuanji swallowed what he was about to say and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's see."
He didn't go away, he still sat across from the desk, waiting to see what Wu Ya'er wrote again.
