On this trip south, for the sake of safety, we still have to select some of the refugees for team training.
"How many adults are there among these refugees?"
You can become a male at the age of sixteen, and the rich family members are trained from a young age, not only because they need to cultivate their loyalty from an early age, but also because the younger they are, the more solid their roots in martial arts will be.
"If we want to train people to be able to defend against enemies in March, there will be about 350 men between the ages of thirteen and forty-five. Adding the number of people in our current department, the total number of people in the department can be Six hundred and fifty people.”
Xie Miao rotated his fingertips and tapped his chin lightly.
Calculated in this way, the number of villagers and refugees is almost the same as the number of tribes, both about 650.
Hundreds of carts of grain and grass, as well as prohibited items such as salt and iron, would be too big a target if they were placed in one place and moved south at the same time.
People and food cannot go at the same time!
"To be safe, we divided our troops into two groups." She simply made a decision and divided the people and materials into two groups. One pair of troops escorted the people, and the other pair escorted the food and grass.
All factors must be taken into consideration, and precautions must be taken. Apart from the original group of nearly two hundred people, the connection between the four hundred and fifty people and her is not close enough.
She was also afraid that her kind act would bring disaster to the original team.
People's hearts are fickle. If someone rebels along the way or is greedy for food, they should cooperate with outsiders and cooperate with others on the inside.
Then she will become Mr. Dong Guo.
Looking back at Xie Yuanju, she said, "In two months, you go first with the grain and grass, and I will take the farmers and other common people after."
Xie Yuanju agreed with the division of troops into two groups, but did not agree with her allocation.
"I'll be with you, the food and grass will be run by Xie Xiao..."
"No." Xie Miaoxuan interrupted him, "Xie Xiao is brave enough, but not adaptable enough. He is too simple. If he encounters someone with treacherous thoughts, he will easily be led around. Food and grass are too important, and you must lead the team. "
"Can..."
She rubbed her eyebrows and smiled, knowing that he was worried about her.
A smile crept into the corners of his eyes, "This is all my wealth, and it is more important than my life. I leave it to you. I hope you can help me get it to Guo County safely."
There was a light warmth in the girl's glazed eyes, and the dark light in Xie Yuanju's eyes flashed away.
He said silently, "Yes."
Xie Miaoxuan is busy here, and Xie Yuan has not been able to take any time off recently.
Clink the tea cup and put it on the table at hand.
He looked to the side and said, "Elders of the clan, have you thought about it? No matter how high it is, it will be impossible."
Xie Mingde looked at Xie Minger and Xie Mingcai, who were both the third elder.
The three of them communicated silently with their eyes for a moment, before Xie Min'er and Xie Ming nodded.
Xie Mingde stroked his beautiful beard and said, "The clan leader is sure that Prince Zhaoping is willing to send a thousand imperial guards to accompany him to the manor, and will hand over 30% of Xie Qi's property to the clan after that?"
Xie Yuan suppressed the anger in his chest and secretly thought that these old immortals are the masters who will not let go of the rabbit before they see the hawk.
In order to allow them to go with him to the manor, he forced Xie Miaoxuan to take out the property in his hands according to clan etiquette, and he had to pay 20% to 30% before he was willing to leave.
Counting the 30% promised to Xun Xun, he could only take 40%.
It hurt as much as if his heart had been ripped out.
He replied with a cold face, "Yes."
Confirming his promise again, Xie Mingde and the three of them all looked satisfied.
Only then did someone remember to care about him, "Did she really injure your foot?"
"It's that unfilial daughter," Xie Yuan's feet were wrapped with a thick layer of gauze. Even though it had been two days, he still felt severe pain from the wound, and there was resentment in his voice.
"Xie Qi has been operating in Nanhai County for more than ten years, and the wealth he has accumulated should belong to our direct branch. Originally, if she had followed my instructions, she would have arrived long ago, and the clan would not have to worry about repairing the ancestral hall. But she was born with him. My father is also a rebellious man. When he came to Kyoto, a girl actually ran away with Bu Qu! It is simply a shame to my Xie family! If word spreads, all the girls in our Xie family will be humiliated."
"Last time I lowered my dignity and went to pick her up in person, but she actually led the troops to resist and even wanted to kill me, my uncle, in public! Huh! My injury was caused by her! Since she didn't want to listen to my uncle, I think she has to listen to what the clan elders say, so I would like to ask all the clan elders to come forward."
"What? Xie Miaoxuan knows kung fu?!"
"If a girl doesn't learn the three obediences and the four virtues, then a girl will follow the rules! What a decent person!"
"That guy Xie Qi is really a bastard."
Xie Yuan, "It's just because she knows how to do some kung fu, but I don't know how high the sky is. This time the prince leads the army, and the clan takes part in it again and takes off her wings."
"We must bring him back as soon as possible and control him well."
Xie Min'er frowned when he heard that, thinking of what Xie Qi had done, he said clearly, "If you ask me, like father, like daughter, this Xie Miaoxuan is really not a good thing, so kindly let her return to the clan to gain She protected her and promised to look after her as a person who subjugates her father and subjugates her mother. She actually dares to lead the tribe to openly bully the clan leader, and even dares to attack the elders! I don’t know what to say!"
Xie Mingcai then spoke up: "No, the patriarch is her uncle! Anyone who beats or insults the elders is unfaithful and unfilial. If the patriarch hadn't been soft-hearted and sued her to Jingzhao Mansion, she would have committed the ten evils, at least Sentence her to be exiled for three thousand miles."
Hearing what they said, Xie Yuan's brows relaxed a little.
That's the reason. If he hadn't been kind-hearted, Xie Miaoxuan would have been sent to prison.
After they finished expressing their opinions, Xie Mingde supported his beautiful beard, shook his head and said calmly, "She is a girl, and she relies on the troops left by Xie Qi to be unscrupulous. You can use the Zhaoping Hou Crown Prince's imperial army to use it." , I will be able to bring her back to the Xie family this time, and then I will come forward to lock her in the ancestral hall to think about her mistakes and teach her etiquette, justice and shame."
There is a secret room in Xie's ancestral hall specially used to imprison children who are disobedient or have made serious mistakes.
It was cold and damp inside, and there were no beddings, just a futon kneeling facing the wall.
If a person stays there for a long time, his body and mind will basically become exhausted.
Xie Qi was once locked up there for half a year.
After him, no one was imprisoned for many years. This time it was his daughter's turn, which was considered cause and effect.
The matter was almost discussed, and Xie Yuan asked the servant to carry Ruan Jiaozi to leave.
The bone in his foot was injured by Xie Miao's screw nail. It took a hundred days to recover from the injury, but he couldn't wait any longer.
Before leaving, he said, "Your Majesty, it will take some time to mobilize the troops. Xie Qi asked Xie Miaoxuan to learn kung fu. It is best for the clan to bring Buqu with them. All clan elders should prepare. I think the time will be in two days."
Two days later.
Xun Xuan led a thousand-man forbidden army to join Xie Yuanju and five hundred tribes of the Xie family.
