"When a man is born in this world, he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements!"
Countless young people below raised their arms and shouted, expressing their willingness to join the army.
Long before Liang Xiao came, he had already arranged the newspaper.
As soon as the appointment documents arrived in Yanzhou, newspapers immediately spread the news, first telling the people about the Liang Jiajun's selection criteria.
In this way, he doesn't have to wait for thirst to go through the well, he can do it in one go!
Zhuge Ding and Lei Hong were naturally responsible for the selection of the Liang Jiajun.
Mu Qinxue and Jiang Fuxue were in the carriage behind them, looking at Liang Xiao's back with pride on their faces.
This is her brother Jiang Fuxue!
This is her Mu Qinxue’s fiancé!
In the crowd, as the Scarlet Blood Sword, she silently watched Liang Xiao, who looked kindly on Zhan Huo.
But soon, her eyes passed through the crowd behind Liang Xiao and saw Mu Qinxue standing up.
It turns out there is such a beautiful girl...
It must be the daughter of the Marquis of Dingguo, Mrs. Marquis of Lanling, right?
There was a bit of a strange look in her eyes, and then a bit of relief appeared in her eyes.
Maybe, they are the legends of heroes and beauties.
Suddenly, she thought of Bai Longying, who was still recuperating in the mountains, and his young horse.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back at the figure on the high platform.
After a moment, she led the heroines away from the scene.
"Huo'er, big brother is going to find you a home. Do you like it?"
This brave child, like himself, had both parents dead, and only an old man raised him.
He seemed like himself in his hometown.
Sympathizing with each other is often more likely to bring good feelings to others.
His intuition told him that this child would definitely be a general in Dazhou in the future.
He will cultivate it himself.
If Dazhou wants to continue to prosper, it cannot do without the efforts of at least two generations.
Zhan Huo looked at his grandfather, Mr. Zhan.
Mr. Zhan was flattered and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude, and was helped up by Gu Pingxiu.
"Captain Gu, what do you think?"
Liang Xiao looked at Gu Pingxiu, who had been looking at him with respect.
Gu Pingxiu was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded immediately: "Master Hou, I want to recognize him as my adopted son, please do so!"
Zhan Huo looked at the sinister-looking uncle in front of him with a look of fear on his face.
Gu Pingxiu took off the sword from his waist and walked towards Zhan Huo, showing a rare warm smile.
"From now on, I will protect you and your grandfather, and accompany the prefect to avenge your parents!"
Mr. Zhan said anxiously: "Hurry up and call your foster father!"
The young and ignorant child opened his arms to Gu Pingxiu and made milky sounds.
"Father!"
Gu Pingxiu took the child from Liang Xiao's arms, his eyes filled with relief.
Liang Xiao and Xuanwei couldn't help but look happy.
Xuanwei are all elites selected from among the eunuchs.
There are many Xuanwei because their families are poor and their parents have no choice but to send them to the palace to be young eunuchs.
This is a tradition left over from the Wu Dynasty.
But the difference between the Zhou Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty is that the emperor's family will raise these children. After they are sixteen years old, they will find their parents, have a good discussion with them, and let the children choose whether to stay in the palace or not. Go home with a year's worth of rations.
Most children feel grateful for the emperor's kindness and choose to join Xuanwei.
After confirmation, the eunuch in charge of purifying them anesthetized them with "Ma Fei Powder" handed down from the Wu Dynasty and officially purified them.
Of course, this is for male Xuanwei.
Women account for three-quarters of the Xuanwei army. These women have similar experiences to the male Xuanwei, but they do not need to be purified. Naturally, there is no need to ask their parents. Most women who are qualified to become Xuanwei will join resolutely. Xuanwei, to repay the favor of the country.
The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the Wu Dynasty was that after discussions between the Great Zhou emperor and Zhuge Hui and others, they felt that this method was too cruel. However, it was urgent to form Xuanwei to defend the royal family, so they could only be as kind as possible.
The Great Zhou Dynasty established its country based on virtue.
Gu Pingxiu was inhumane, so he would not have any children, and his gloomy appearance was inseparable from years of training and flaws.
Xuanwei has been trained and ideologically influenced, and is only loyal to the royal family.
Liang Xiao is the future prince-in-law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He connects Gu Pingxiu and Zhanhuo, and Gu Pingxiu has no burden.
With people like Liang Xiao helping to guide him, he wouldn't worry about Zhan Huo going astray.
After following Liang Xiao, he no longer calls himself "our family".
The whole family worshiped the adoptive father and son on the spot and received blessings from everyone.
Mr. Zhan asked Zhan Huo to change his surname to Gu, but Gu Pingxiu shook his head.
"We don't care about the name and surname." Gu Pingxiu shook his head and added, "This child is an only child. If he must change his surname, when he has children in the future, the second child's surname will be Gu Hao. ”
Mr. Zhan was a little frightened and insisted again and again.
Gu Pingxiu declined again and again.
The old prefect Dongye Hongji on the side had a calm expression, but the surprise in his eyes betrayed his mood.
He could tell from the weapons he wore that the Gu Pingxiu in front of him was a captain of the Xuan Guard.
Has Xuanwei become amiable and approachable following the Lanling Marquis?
A welcome party for the new governor was changed into a recruitment notification meeting by Liang Xiao.
Yanzhou finally welcomed a new governor.
Under the protection of Liang Jiajun, Liang Xiao's motorcade entered the prefect's mansion.
Dongye Hongji respectfully explained to Liang Xiao the situation in Yanzhou and the arrangements of the officials.
Duan Yunyi has given enough benefits to the Higashikata family, but now Higashikata just wants a perfect handover without making any mistakes.
His niece was prejudiced against Liang Xiao, but he didn't dare to bring it out for fear of ruining the good thing.
"Master Liang, rice merchants in Yanzhou have been evacuating one after another recently, and the price of rice has been rising. If it doesn't rise, other rice merchants will also run away..."
Liang Xiao was thoughtful after hearing Dongye Hongji's report.
"Master Dongye, didn't Yanzhou just experience an autumn harvest recently?"
Higashiye Hongji explained: "I don't know the current situation, but almost all of the rice merchants who evacuated are under the names of those wealthy families..."
After saying that, Dongye Hongji thought of something and added: "It is precisely because the people harvested in autumn and still have surplus grain on hand that we did not pay attention to this matter. We only discovered this matter recently. It turns out that the rice merchant in Yanzhou, Tuoba family, They accounted for a quarter, and several other big families together accounted for a quarter. As soon as they withdrew, other rice merchants followed suit..."
Hearing this, Liang Xiao's eyes froze.
The lower limits of these big families still exceeded his imagination.
"Needless to say, I also know that this matter must be led by Tuoba Jun or Tuoba Lie. After all, other aristocratic families do not dare to break through the lower limit in consideration of their reputation. I will immediately send someone to notify the capital, mobilize supplies as soon as possible, and then contact those rice Let’s discuss it.”
"What if they don't cooperate?" Dongye Hongji looked confused.
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "They must cooperate."
Dongye Hongji looked at Liang Xiao and was shocked.
His intuition told him that Liang Xiao was ready to retaliate against these rice merchants who maliciously raised prices.
The price of rice in Dazhou was determined by the government.
But rice merchants can use the grain on hand to get the government to compromise and negotiate prices!
