A new round of centralization reforms was put on the agenda - at this time, there was no longer any opposition in the fiefdom.
First of all, Xiong Wuliang now has quite sufficient reserve officials, and the wealthy families no longer pose any threat to Xiong Wuliang.
Secondly, Xiong Wuliang once again returned to the fiefdom with the power of victory, and the Pingnan sword he brought with him almost blinded everyone's eyes - no one dared to disobey Xiong Wuliang's authority and decree.
Following the 'Academy Order', 'Fraud Check Order', and 'Field Equalization Order', the latest 'Farming War Order' was grandly launched - the main focus is a reward farming war.
…
Huang Xie has been very chic recently, very chic.
Everything in Quyang Academy is stable and going well - the masters of various schools are writing very fast. In order to prove in the annual 'final examination' that the students trained by their own schools are the best students, the masters of each school are They all tried their best.
Of course, the scale of the academy has also been further expanded - after the Second Danyang War, there were two to three thousand new students in the academy at one go.
These are the younger generations of the soldiers who were killed or disabled in the Quyang New Army. They were able to study in the academy because of the military exploits of their fathers.
Huang Xie was suddenly under a lot of pressure... Fortunately, the preliminary work was done well, and the school building was relatively spacious.
Of course, after arranging these new students, Huang Xie leisurely became the shopkeeper - his greatest pleasure every day was walking around the academy with his hands behind his back, enjoying the admiration of everyone.
Although he is not very old, Huang Xie can be regarded as a veritable 'elder' in the academy.
The only thing that makes Huang Xie a little tangled... is that the three-year period is getting closer and closer. It seems... he doesn't want it to end like this?
…
There is a constant flow of shops and commercial ports - after the end of winter, business activities are active again, even far more vigorous than last year.
Various bulk commodities such as ceramics, fabrics, embroidery, and lacquerware are pulled out of the industrial park every day and delivered to shops and commercial ports. They are quickly snapped up by merchants from all over the world... As for the commodities brought by merchants, The most popular ones are all kinds of livestock, followed by precious copper and iron materials.
Song Zhe, who is in charge of business, has a word first - as long as it is livestock, copper and iron, no matter whether it is good or bad, he will buy it!
By the way, Song Zhe's 'debt' to Xiong Wuliang is far from being repaid...
The most dashing one is Xiong Wuliang - this guy now lives in the Marquis Mansion every day, flirting with beauties, big and small, and is extremely happy.
There are people responsible for all kinds of affairs - Qu Yuan, Zhao Huashen and others are very reliable and keep the fief in good order; Huang Xie is in charge of the academy, so if you need funds, just go to Qu Yuan directly.
Shi Er and Song Zhe are also responsible for the industrial parks and commercial shops that can bring a lot of income to the fiefdom. Let me praise Song Zhe by name. In terms of profiteers, he is not inferior to the master Xiong Wuliang.
Xiong Wuliang doesn't have to worry about the army.
After the bloody battle, the Quyang New Army has re-recruited its troops and is undergoing rigorous training day after day under the leadership of Shao Hu - this elite heavy infantry seems to have been tempered and reborn in the Second Danyang War.
Although there were heavy casualties on the battlefield, the overall spirit of Quyang's new army was obviously more ferocious - under the slightly shabby banners, the 10,000 new army soldiers looked more like wolves and tigers.
As for the 'Xiong Cavalry Army', it seems that Xiong Wuliang won't need to worry about it in the short term.
…
Even the large and small affairs in the Hou Mansion are managed by Zhong Hua.
After the second Danyang War, this veteran seemed to have put down a heavy burden, and the smile on his face was obviously much brighter - now Zhong Hua is obviously brisk in his steps, and he no longer frowns with those bitter eyebrows every day. , looks more like an ordinary old man next door.
Zhong Hua was getting older and could not wield a sword because of the disability of his right hand, so he faded out of public view day after day.
Although he is still the commander-in-chief of the military camp, Zhong Hua rarely appears in the military camp - for most matters, Zhong Hua delegates his disciple Xiao Hei, who is open-minded and willing to learn, to handle most matters.
Old Zhong Hua himself took care of some household chores and leisurely walked the birds and played with the dogs from time to time - like all old men who are about to retire, he began to enjoy life.
Even Xiong Wuliang commented this way - now Zhong Hua is not like the commander of the personal barracks, but more like the chief steward of the Hou Mansion.
Since everything was taken care of by someone, Xiong Wuliang was very happy. His daily activities were to take a few beauties, big and small, to buy some delicious food in the house, or to hang out in the market.
If the weather is good, Xiong Wuliang will take the big yellow dog Wangcai for a walk in the wild, or he will practice archery with dead tree stumps when he has nothing to do - this is just to pass the time, and with the repeating crossbow around, it is useful for practicing archery. It doesn't seem big anymore.
Of course, Xiong Wuliang's archery skills are really not to be praised - he can only barely draw the weakest bow in the house.
One time Ge Suyi came to the house and happened to bump into Xiong Wuliang practicing archery... After observing three arrows, Ge Suyi silently covered his face and left this sentence with a low emotional intelligence - 'I am five The bow he draws is much harder than the bow in his master's hand. '
Xiong Wuliang didn't take it seriously at all, he just laughed.
Is this the retirement life of the dandy nobles? It’s so cool!
…
In a blink of an eye, three months have passed.
It’s already June – and the weather seems to be getting hotter.
The bronze chariot was ready. Xiong Wuliang put on a light leather armor, shouldered the much-anticipated Pingnan sword, and headed straight to the west camp of the city under the protection of the personal barracks.
There is the training camp of the Knight Cavalry Army.
The three-month period has arrived, and it’s time to test the level of this heroic cavalry army!
The bronze chariot arrived outside the military camp, and from a distance they saw the tall and burly Ge Suyi standing at the door with a respectful face.
"Gesuyi pays homage to the master!" Gesuyi bowed his head and bowed.
Xiong Wuliang smiled and helped Ge Suyi up with his own hands - this Liang Hu man had brute strength but a simple mind. Xiong Wuliang gave these Lianghu people the best treatment, and Ge Suyi devoted himself to Xiong Wuliang.
At present, this outsider seems to be blameless in his loyalty to Xiong Wuliang.
"Three months have passed. How is the training of my knights?" Xiong Wuliang asked.
To Xiong Wuliang's expectation - Ge Suyi immediately looked embarrassed.
The face with three scars was wrinkled tightly together, as if it was a mouthful of shit.
Ge Suyi's lips moved, as if he didn't know how to express his words.
"Is it because the results are not good?" Xiong Wuliang asked, raising his eyebrows.
Ge Suyi raised his arm as thick as a tree trunk and scratched his head. He still seemed to find it difficult to speak... After dawdling for a long time, the arrogant man who was not good at words hummed and said: "Master, you'd better come and see for yourself. .”
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Ge Suyi, stopped talking nonsense, and waved his hand - the personal barracks protected the bronze chariot and drove straight into the west camp of the city.
Ten thousand valiant cavalry troops have already formed a formation, with banners sweeping and swords and shields interlaced, showing an extraordinary momentum.
It is said that the posture of ten thousand cavalry standing together is far greater than the momentum of ten thousand Quyang's new army - it is almost boundless.
Before this new cavalry army even started moving, Xiong Wuliang could already feel its powerful momentum.
Xiong Wuliang clicked his tongue and sighed greatly!
Think about the Second Battle of Danyang... The Qin army had 30,000 cavalry. It can only be said that Xiong Wuliang won in the end because of the season... If it hadn't been for the cold winter, Xiong Wuliang would have been able to resist despite all his clever tricks. Can withstand the powerful Qin army's elite cavalry.
Xiong Wuliang nodded gently at Ge Suyi.
Ge Suyi raised his arms and ordered loudly: "Master has an order - school martial arts begins!"
