Mao Jie, Sun Guan, Liao Hua and others chatted with Man Chong and reminisced about the past, and introduced Xu Shu, Tian Feng, Zhao Yun and other generals to everyone.
Sun Guan put his arms around Man Chong's shoulders and said, "Bo Ning! Congratulations! You have become the prefect! When will you be invited to our house for a drink?"
Man Chong was flattered to be recommended by Qin Ge as the prefect of Le'an County. Only he and Mao Jie had this honor in the territory.
Man Chong looked at Sun Guan, Liao Hua and other old brothers, and said with a smile on his iron-faced face: "This position of prefect was earned by my brothers on the front line with their lives and blood. I deserve it! Of course, I will return to my territory." , fill your stomach with good wine and good meat!”
Sun Guan, Liao Hua and others cheered upon hearing this.
At this time, there was joy and laughter in front of the city gate, and all the brothers were immersed in the joy of returning home.
Wei Sanniang raised her head from Qin Ge's arms and saw two beautiful women standing behind Qin Ge, it was Kinderman and Xu Changjin.
Kinderman has changed into a Hanfu, with his hair tied up in a bun, looking graceful and luxurious. After experiencing the spiritual nourishment of the Immortal Nest during this period, his whole body has an otherworldly aura.
Xu Changjin, on the other hand, was wearing national costume and carrying a large and small medicine box behind him.
Originally, after the National War, Qin Ge was supposed to send her back to the Goryeo Civilization Zone as agreed. However, Kinderman took her around the fairy nest, and when she saw the garden full of fairy grass and the paradise-like fairyland.
Xu Changjin was completely defeated, and finally had a reason to convince herself. She decided to stay with Qin Ge.
Xu Changjin's terrifying ability has been confirmed in the national war. Qin Ge was naturally happy to see the success and took her back to Taishan County.
"This must be Sister Xiu Niang! You are indeed beautiful and beautiful. No wonder your husband has been thinking about you so worriedly!" Kinderman was a familiar person and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Wei Sanniang.
Looking at the two stunning beauties in front of her, Wei Sanniang also heard some rumors, but now that she can see Qin Ge, Wei Sanniang is already satisfied.
However, their fairy-like and otherworldly temperament also gave Wei Sanniang a sense of crisis.
Qin Ge also felt a little sorry for Wei Sanniang, and sighed: "I should discuss Shande's matter with you..."
Wei Sanniang smiled with relief and said, "With this sister's meticulous care, my husband can be invincible. I also want to thank you!"
Qin Ge felt a little ashamed and said, "I can't do anything about the general's daughter... Look..."
Before he finished speaking, Kinderman pulled Wei Sanniang aside to chat and introduced the generals of Jizhou to her. Qin Ge's last words disappeared into the air.
At this time, Manchong came over with a face full of joy and said: "My lord! Food and wine have been prepared in the pass. Brothers, the journey has been dusty and windy, snowy and cold. Let's eat and chat with our brothers when we enter the pass!"
Qin Ge no longer worried about his children and said to the generals: "Brothers will have a good meal after entering the pass. All the brothers in Yanzhou and Taishan counties will have a month off to go home and reunite with their relatives! The pass has been prepared. We have collected the carriages and horses leading to various counties, and after everyone has eaten, they can go home! And the brothers from Jizhou can deal with the settlement matters, and after the New Year, we will all gather in the territory on the 20th of the first lunar month!"
As soon as Qin Ge's military order was issued, the entire city gate suddenly boiled. Some people had been away from home for three or four years, and the brothers who survived the battlefield had long since returned home.
Surrounded by the cheers of the soldiers, the city gate in the cold wind suddenly became lively.
…
In Liberty City, the streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. It was already New Year's Eve. As the soldiers from the expedition returned, every family was reunited and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.
Qin Ge has arrived in the territory for seven days. The generals stationed in various places have returned to the territory during these days. While preparing for the New Year, Guan Zhong, Xu Shu, Tian Feng, Man Chong and others summoned the returning generals to discuss the strategy of Qingzhou intensively.
Since He Jin's army is pressing forward step by step, and He Jin himself is very happy to have achieved success, the army is still celebrating the New Year in Jizhou, so Qin Ge needs to use this deterrent force to strategize.
During these days, everyone was so busy that they were knocked out of the strategy room by Kinderman. Only then did everyone realize that the New Year was coming.
Tian Feng's family has been settled. His mother and part of the tribe have already settled in Liberty City and have returned home to spend the New Year with their families.
Guan Zhong was alone, so Qin Ge temporarily arranged for him to live in his lord's mansion.
Xu Shu slapped his forehead and remembered that there was an old mother at home. It was so chaotic outside and he didn't know where to find her.
Qin Ge proposed to bring his old mother back to enjoy family happiness. After all, Cao Cao used Xu Shu's mother to blackmail Xu Shu in history.
Moreover, Jiang Qiansheng's old Yinbi used this to blackmail Tai Shici, and many evil-minded evolver forces also followed suit, causing many tragedies to happen to many famous historical generals. Qin Ge had to guard against this trick.
Qin Ge persuaded Xu Shu that the New Year was approaching and that after the New Year, he would organize people to find Xu's mother.
As a result, Xu Shu said that his mother was already in Liberty City. It turned out that Xu Shu was from Shanyang County, Yanzhou. He just killed a powerful man out of loyalty when he was young, so he wandered around.
When I came out from Mr. Shui Jing's place that day, I immediately went home to visit my mother. Xu's mother encouraged Xu Shu's son to have ambitions in all directions. At that time, it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Xu Shu couldn't let go of his mother. Qin Ge happened to be rising at that time. Xu Shu saw that Qin Ge was powerful and Free Town was stable and strong at that time, so he took his mother to Free Town. It was at that time that he met Qin Ge!
In the end, even Xu Shu himself felt a little hot-tempered. After all, he had righteously rejected Qin Ge's invitation back then. He was considered a lord in front of a free prostitute.
Qin Ge was speechless when he heard this. Xu Shu was really good at playing and regarded his place as a shelter. However, when he heard that Xu's mother was in Liberty City, he immediately clapped his hands and said: "So, Yuan Zhi and I are very destined! Anyway, I’m free now! I’m just going to wish my aunt a happy new year!”
Guan Zhong followed him out for a walk when he had nothing to do, and took the Jinmaohu with him. The four of them followed Xu Shu's memory and wandered around the Liberty City.
Along the way, the residents gathered around to say hello. It took a lot of effort to reach the place in Xu Shu's memory, but ended up going around in a circle.
Arriving in front of Qin's ancestral hall, Qin Ge was confused. Xu Shu would have placed his mother in Qin's ancestral hall!
"The changes here have been so great! It's turned upside down... In the past, there were brick and tile wooden houses... Now there are buildings, pavilions and pavilions..." Xu Shu suddenly became a little anxious when he couldn't find his mother.
In the past, Liberty Town was a rural town with thatched houses built with stones and wood. Now it has long been a fortified city and a prosperous city. Its prosperity is no less than that of the county town, or even worse, just because it has never completed the task of building the city. , but cannot expand.
"Brother! You are here...the sisters-in-law are making dumplings..." a voice came, and a handsome young man in his late teens, wearing a Confucian scholar's robe, was moving stools with the brothers of the Qin family. and tables, ready for the feast.
Preparations have begun for the Qin family's New Year's Eve dinner tonight, and the Qin family's children are busy happily. This person is Qin Jirang, a direct descendant of the family.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Qin Ge saw Qin Jirang coming over to greet him. He patted his head dotingly and said with a smile: "You brat, you are quite big, a lot taller! Are you naughty? This paragraph What book did you read during the time..."
Among all the brothers, Qin Ge loved Qin Jiyong and Qin Jirang the most. He was only about eight years old when he left, but he had grown into a handsome young man in the blink of an eye.
Qin Jirang shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you are laughing! I have graduated from the college, and I have been evaluated by Mrs. Zheng Xuan and Teacher Fan Qin with perfect honors. Now I am working as a secretary under Mr. Chai Jin. I will soon be able to help my eldest brother to develop his ambitions." Got it!"
"Haha! What a boy! As expected of the son of my Qin family!" Qin Ge praised Qin Jirang.
At this time, Xu Shu no longer had the knight-errant temperament he had before, and became a little lost. Qin Ge knew that he was the most filial person, and sighed: "Free City has been renovated more than ten times. Although it is my ancestral hall, many buildings here are even I'm a little strange! Let's do this, Yuan Zhi, let's have New Year's Eve dinner first, and tomorrow I will organize all the brothers to help you find your mother..."
Qin Jirang's mind was clear, he heard a few words, and roughly guessed the purpose of several people. He thought for a moment and said: "The Qin family ancestral hall and the Qin clan have expanded several times, and all the surrounding residents have moved to other places. Should Master Xu's mother, It will be that old lady Xu...!"
After saying that, I knew I was being rude and quickly changed my words: "Aunt Xu!"
Xu Shu was surprised when he heard this: "You know the whereabouts of my mother!" Qin Ge also cast an inquiring look.
Qin Jirang said with a look of helplessness on his face: "Brother, have you forgotten that Aunt Xu also sued our Qin family? At that time, the clan's territory was expanding and they wanted to acquire land, and this Xu's mother was used as a thorn in the side. As a result, the clan The uncles inside became anxious and violent, but you also publicly decided the case and sentenced those uncles severely! After that, the tribe rebuilt a residence for her and never dared to touch Aunt Xu’s house again! Now she lives with everyone. Together, her house is the third house on the left turn on this street!"
Hearing Qin Jirang mention it, Qin Ge suddenly remembered that such a thing really happened.
Guan Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. During this period of time living in the Free Territory, he had already figured out the distribution of various forces in the Free City.
There are two strongest clans in the territory, the Qin clan and the Yu clan. The other clans are not small in size, and the Yang clan and other noble clans can only become dependents because of their decline.
The most prosperous one now is undoubtedly the Qin family. The children of the Qin family have made great achievements in the national war, not to mention Qin Ge.
Qin Jiwu was canonized as county magistrate, Qin Jizong and Qin Jiben were canonized as county captains, and the five direct descendants of loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame and bravery all served in the military. The lowest, Qin Jishao and Qin Jiyong, were also the governors. This time The Battle of Qingzhou will definitely lead to promotion to county captain.
In addition, Qin Jili assisted Mao Jie in supplying grain and grass during the national war, Qin Jixue took charge of the overall situation of Dongguan County, and Qin Ge invited the two to be appointed as county Cao Shi respectively.
The remaining Wen Liang, Gong Jian and other five direct descendants will be appointed to important positions in the future in a system where Qin Ge is extremely short of scribes.
It can be said that it is a well-deserved famous family. The Qin family's status and prestige in the territory are like gods. According to the behavior of other famous families, let alone land acquisition, even if it is forced to demolish, it will be nothing.
According to the patriarchal law, every inch of this territory belongs to the Qin family, but such a powerful Qin family would actually bow to an ordinary old woman.
This laid a milestone foundation for the rule of law under Qin Ge.
"My lord is truly a god! You have laid a solid foundation for the political system with the law as the god! This is the foundation of all eternity!" Guan Zhong admired sincerely when he heard about the conflict between the Qin family and Xu's mother.
