Xu Peng welcomed Xu He into the courtyard, and the two brothers talked for a long time.
Xu He took out the things that Elder Jia and his wife had asked him to bring. They were nothing more than salted chicken and duck. With the current situation of their family, it was actually not necessary to carry them all the way. But this was Uncle Jia as a father. Xu He actually carried thousands of miles to bring Xu Peng's concern for his son.
Seeing what his father brought, Xu Peng, a usually quiet man, had red eyes.
"Brother Peng, Uncle Jia doesn't have to be as tired as before. I've left the sugar issue to Qian Yu. He only has to take care of it now. He doesn't have to make and sell it by himself like before!"
"Is it okay to leave it to outsiders?" Xu Peng was still a little worried.
Xu He smiled: "It's okay, our two families don't actually care about the money anymore. No matter how much we earn, it's just a number. Uncle Jia said that he helped you save your wife's money, hahaha!"
When Xu Peng heard this, his face turned red.
…
The brothers talked for a while, and Xu He, who was tired from traveling all the way, went back to his room to rest.
Until night, Ding Ze came to call him and said that Xu Song was back.
Xu He quickly washed and dressed and went to the main room in the backyard.
Before others reached the main room, they heard Xu Song coughing.
His heart tightened, and he quickly walked a few steps to the corridor and bowed: "Uncle!"
When Xu Song saw him, he stood up from his chair happily and said, "Come in, come in!"
Only then did Xu He see his uncle Xie Kun sitting on a chair in the main room, smiling at him.
"Uncle!" Xu He saluted again.
"Liangsheng, come in quickly!" Xie Kun also stood up with a smile.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Song stared at Xu He and said: "Well, he is much stronger and calmer!"
Xie Kun smiled and said: "Mr. Ge, now he is Xu Jieyuan, who is famous all over the Yangtze River. You can't use the old judgment to treat him as a young man!"
Xu Song sighed, yes, when he left home, Xu He was still a scholar. Unexpectedly, just a short time later, he had become the Jieyuan of the rural examination in Nanzhili, and now he has gone to Beijing to attend the examination.
"Sit down, sit down, it's been a hard journey!" Xu Song asked Xu He to sit down.
After sitting down, Xie Kun couldn't wait to say: "Liangsheng, is Hailing okay? I heard that there are many Japanese pirates out this time!"
Xu He nodded and said: "There are indeed a lot of people, but there are only a few hundred people coming to our Hailing!"
"What's going on with the group training?" Xu Song asked.
Xu He then told him exactly what Chen Hua asked him to do for team training.
After listening, Xu Song remained silent, seeming to be thinking about something.
Xie Kun looked at him, then turned to Xu He and said: "This matter is very controversial in the court. Some censors impeached the elder, saying that he supports private soldiers!"
When Xu He heard this, he looked at Xu Song.
Xu Song smiled: "There are too many books to impeach me every day, Ziyu, don't scare him!"
Xu He frowned and said: "Uncle and master, you don't have to worry about this. If my prediction is correct, in less than two years, all the league training in all the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River will be organized!"
"What did you say?" Xie Kun frowned.
Xu He sighed and recounted what he encountered in Huai'an Mansion on the way here.
The governor of water transportation in the Wei Dynasty turned out to be a rebel. It is conceivable that these rebels will only infiltrate the local government even more powerfully!
"The imperial court has mobilized troops from Henan and Jiangxi, so there is no need to worry about the rebels in Hefei!" Xie Kun said.
Xu Song heard this and said calmly: "Ziyu, the thieves in Hefei are not something to worry about, but the real big fish has not yet surfaced!"
When Xie Kun heard this, he frowned: "The elder Ge is talking about the Zhu family, right! His Majesty has ordered Guo Zhu to investigate this matter. It has been so many days since the Ma Liangbi incident happened. I believe that with Guo Zhu's ability , there will be news soon!"
Xu Song nodded without speaking, but asked Xu He: "I am now in the middle of the court, and my eyes are almost blank on the local area. You just said that group training will soon be endless. Has the situation been corrupted to this point?"
Xu He nodded and said: "My uncle must be very aware of the combat power of the local guard station. Judging from the current signs, the White Lotus Sect in Hefei is likely to be a test by the rebels, but even if it is a test, the local police will I’m also tired of dealing with it, and I’m full of ugliness.”
"I believe that the people behind the scenes must have made a decision in their hearts after seeing this. I estimate that a bigger war will break out soon, and the imperial court will have to fight several big battles with the rebels!"
"In recent years, the elite soldiers of the imperial court have been stationed on the southeast coast or on the nine sides, in the heart of the country. Once war breaks out, the old and weak guards will soon be exhausted. At that time, even if the imperial court does not want to allow local groups to hold regiment training, they will not be able to do so. No……"
Xie Kun frowned and said: "Not everyone can handle group training. If your Xu family organizes group training and you have the elder Ge in charge, after all..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
But Xu He already knew what his uncle meant.
It's just that the fact that he is organizing a team training has reached the ears of the palace man, but the palace man is not afraid at all. Why?
First, at that time, I was just like a kid, and others looked down upon me.
The second is that Xu Song is in the court, and with him as the helmsman of the Xu family, he is also afraid that Xu He will cause trouble in Hailing.
But precautions are still needed. No, let Chen Yingzhao send a hundred households to pick peaches.
Xu Song didn't seem to hear the underlying meaning of Xie Kun's words. He was still thinking about other things.
After a while, he frowned and said, "Ziyu is right. If someone takes advantage of Tuanlian's exploits, the consequences may be even worse than those of the Zhu family!"
Xu He said: "But with the financial resources of the imperial court, building a city wall ended up being a completely different city. I'm afraid that by then, all I can do is drink poison to quench my thirst!"
When Xie Kun heard this, he stood up and walked around the room.
Xu He said: "But it's not impossible!"
Xu Song and Xie Kun looked at Xu He in surprise when they heard this.
Xie Kun laughed and scolded: "You're such a good boy. Now that you've won the imperial examination, you dare to say that you're half hiding and half are hiding!"
Xu He smiled and said: "How dare I do this? I just came up with a solution that is not a solution!"
Xu Song nodded and said, "You say it!"
Xu He said: "The imperial court cannot train new troops on a large scale, but it can learn from what Lu Borong and Lu Junmen did in Zhejiang and recruit an elite army!"
Xie Kun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of his disciple Qi Jiguang.
But he turned to Xu He and shook his head and said: "It's useless. The court's money and the recruitment of soldiers are not many. It's okay to fight against Japanese pirates, but it's not enough to deal with rebels."
Xu Song didn't think so: "It's not enough, but at least if there is any disharmony, this person can control the important roads and wait for the court's plans!"
Xu He nodded.
Just as the three of them were talking, Xu Peng walked in and said, "Uncle, the family of Feng Shaoqing from Taipu Temple is here!"
Xu Song frowned and said, "Why did he send people here?"
Xu Peng looked at Xu He and said, "Feng Shaoqing heard that Liang Sheng was coming to Beijing and specially invited him to come to visit him tomorrow!"
Xie Kun snorted coldly: "I just said that Liangsheng has to prepare for the test, and I don't have time to go..."
At this time, Xu Song stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go there. After all, it's meant to be a gift of books!"
