The expedition team is back. This is an extremely hasty expedition. The main force is Ke Yan's tribe who has just entered the Snow Customs territory and has not yet had time to integrate.
But haste is equal.
As the saying goes: If you make it difficult for me, if it is difficult for everyone, I will not be afraid of it. If you are easy for me, I will make it easy for everyone. I will not be careless.
Under the same prerequisites, everyone, whether they are the attacker or the defender, is actually very sloppy. However, on the Xueguan Customs side, the sloppy rules actually have their own regulations, while on the Naiman tribe, there are many mistakes and omissions.
Facing this kind of opponent, if you don’t play a fast-paced and extremely exaggerated battle damage ratio, no matter what you do, it will be unjustifiable.
The North City Gate of Xuehaiguan is full of soldiers. Since the army went out for the expedition, the defense of the North City Gate has suddenly become a top priority.
The blind man has always been steady in his work. Although he does not think there will be any big problems in this expedition, after all, he has learned from the experience of the first team that went to the snowfield and was pushed back by a wave of flow and lost the snow customs. In front of me, I naturally have to be more cautious.
Fortunately, the news of the great victory on the front line had come back early, and there was great joy inside and outside Xueguan.
The blind man was sitting on a chair in the tower, with a coffee table on his left hand side, with two oranges and a cup of tea on it.
Six Niang was sitting on the chair next to her, crossing her legs and knitting clothes.
"Have the rewards been distributed?" the blind man asked.
"I sent the order last night, and it should be issued this morning."
Basically all the industries in Xue Customs are controlled by the Earl's Palace. When news of the great victory came, some welfare and discount promotions started, and they were all daily necessities such as rice, flour, grains and oils, which can be said to be real benefits.
After a big victory, it is natural to have fun with the people, so that the soldiers and civilians can feel the dividends that the war can bring to them.
Only in this way can they spontaneously support future wars.
The flag of national justice is indeed useful, but the problem is that in the mixed multi-ethnic state of Xuehai Customs, this trick cannot be used.
But in the eyes of a blind person, even if it is tinkered with a style similar to the "Knights", it is actually not bad.
When Liu Bei was in Shuhan, his regime was actually in the style of the Knights.
Adapt measures to local conditions. Under the current situation, it is the main theme for the military and civilians to focus on foreign development as much as possible.
Sixiang put down her work and asked:
"Have you done the work of welcoming the army back?"
"It's done, keep it. "It's very lively."
"Well, after this battle is over, we will be much richer, and A Ming will not have to run around and re-establish the workshop system first. After this winter, everything will be on the right track.”
You don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, especially for such a big business.
Uncle Zheng has always been used to being the hands-off shopkeeper. Fortunately,The demon kings under his hands can support him.
"There have been a lot of refugees coming every day recently, so we have to do a good job of sorting them out." the blind man reminded.
After the Snow Customs area stabilized, the people who had fled and hid in the nearby mountains and forests began to come out slowly. At the same time, there were also some refugees who had fled further away and heard that there was food here. Later, they also moved here.
This is also due to the good publicity work done along the way of the migration. Snow Customs was described as a paradise, so it had a huge appeal to those displaced by the war.
"I know." Siniang nodded, "Anyway, now that there are people everywhere, we will take in as many as they come."
In addition, those who can escape can persist in escaping. , the proportion of the old, weak, sick and disabled is really not large, because the old, weak, sick and disabled cannot survive here at all. Even if there are, then they must be accompanied by young and strong people.
"The reorganization of troops and horses should also be put on the agenda."
"Let's discuss this with the Lord when he comes back. We can make the decision without permission. It's not appropriate."
"My lord has already discussed it with me before going on the expedition, and the basic regulations have actually been decided. In the future, the Xueguan troops will most likely be divided into four towns. There are many Yingkou under the jurisdiction of one town. These four towns are: Yanzi Town, Manzi Town, Jinzi Town, and the Yezi Town that may be established in the future if the snow field is completed. "
Four. After hearing this, my mother reached out to pick up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Is it imitating the Eight Banners?"
The Eight Banners system is also divided into Manchu Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners. Eight Banners.
"That's pretty much what it means. The soldiers and horses we have now are indeed complex. Instead of forcibly mixing them together without distinguishing between you and me, it is better to separate them in the system first, and then generalize them. More polishing needs to be done at the level.
Of course, the four towns cannot simply be called that. Names like Huwei, Po Di, Wanjie, etc. can be added. The basic framework must be determined first. We will conduct a new round of integration as needed in the future."
The blind man rubbed his brows and continued:
"Actually, we should cross the river by feeling the stones, step by step, step by step. It’s too late to change.”
“Yes.”
“However, the most urgent task now is to improve your level, Si Niang, have you thought about it?”
Siniang put down her tea cup and remained silent.
"Actually, I haven't thought about it either." The blind man said.
Sixiang said: "I've thought about it."
"Oh?"
Sixiang stretched her body, her figure was graceful, her posture Revealed,
"After all, we have slept in the same bed, and there is nothing we can't say. But I don't know whether he is destined to have me, but it is obvious that I must have him in my life.
p>In ordinary people’s lives, women look to the men who are the backbone of the family, and leave the top men.Liang Zhu is having a hard time.
As a grown-up woman, I can still understand this point.
In this world,
love and vows of eternal love are beautiful;
but in the final analysis,
we sleep together every day in the world. God knows how many men and women are sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams.
Don’t we have to live like this in these days?
"
The blind man reached out and patted his chest and said:
"Why do you sound a little scared when you hear this tone? Our lord was a decent person in his last two lives, but he never had a serious relationship or marriage. Don't be too cruel, it will really hurt our lord's heart. "
"Oh, do you really care about the Lord? "
"How can I? I care about you. Tell me, there is a Hakka living next to our Lord. Even if the person has given birth to a child, his appearance is still good.
Maybe after returning from this expedition, the Lord can capture another vixen in the snowfield.
Don’t play with yourself and make yourself collapse. Even our mistress will have to be replaced by then. If you don’t feel awkward, we still feel awkward. ”
Six Niang smiled “haha”,
The half piece of clothing she had just knitted suddenly shook off on its own, and the silver needle threaded the threads and kept flowing on Siniang’s fingertips. ,
Only two words are left:
"He dares. "
......
"I said, as for you, you should eat and drink. Third Master, I won't let you stay with me. Don't bear any grudge against me, Third Master. Lord, this is for your own good.
Don’t think that you can charm all men just because you are a vixen.
The son next to our master is a famously jealous master. It’s just that he can’t kill his father now and he can’t be a filial son, but he will definitely be willing to let his father be a widower for the rest of his life;
p>
Besides, even if you pass the test of his son, there is still a woman beside our Lord. That woman, in terms of looks, figure, and temperament, none of you can compare with her.
Even if we talk about scheming and means,
You should rest as soon as possible.
The third master just didn’t want to see a fox corpse fished out while freezing watermelon in the well, so he kindly left me here for you. ”
The fox huddled up in a corner of the carriage feeling aggrieved, daring to be angry but afraid to speak.
Why can the black cat stay with Mr. Hirano?
Do you have to stay with this short-legged tiger?
Human,
Oh no,
Monster, too?
A virtue that demons are afraid of is also contrast. Only with contrast can the damage be doubled.
When Hua Ji was still crying secretly in grievance,
In the team. In front, Uncle Zheng, who was riding Pixiu, stretched out his hand to touch the hair on the black cat and said to Liang Cheng, who was riding beside him:
"Have all the envoys been sent to other tribes?"
"My lord has been sent."
"Well, tell me about this when you go back The blind man asked him to continue to follow up. Those tribes that try to support the Naiman tribe must give me some blood."
"Yes, my lord"
Wait. At noon,
the expedition team escorting cattle, sheep, prisoners of war and slaves finally arrived at the Snow Customs Gate. The north gate of the Snow Customs Pass opened wide and a grand welcome ceremony was held for the triumphant soldiers.
The welcome ceremony was followed immediately by rewards for military exploits. For the Keyan people, this was definitely timely rain, especially after they saw that after returning from the expedition, their families had already lived in tents and their food supplies were scarce. After being given enough, the joy, excitement and satisfaction are beyond words.
Next, there will be a series of procedures that Uncle Zheng must participate in.
There will be a grand bonfire party in the evening. Uncle Zheng not only has to show up, but also has to deliver a speech.
After all this was over, Zheng Fan dragged his slightly tired body back to his mansion.
To be honest,
Sometimes attending such political shows is really more tiring than fighting outside.
When I got home, I sat down on a chair in the hall and waited for Mrs. Hakka to bring me a footbath to wash my feet.
Unexpectedly, a wisp of fragrant wind came over, and the smell was particularly familiar.
Zheng Fan raised his head and looked at Siniang who was standing in front of him holding a wooden basin.
Actually, a few days before the expedition, everyone was a little embarrassed because of Xue San's incident, and they also needed some space and time between each other.
The unexpected war against the Naiman tribe made this awkward situation longer.
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Zheng Fan said with a smile.
Ordinary scene words.
Six Niang smiled slightly, knelt down, put Zheng Fan's feet into the wooden basin, and prepared to wash Zheng Fan's feet.
“No need, Si Niang, I’ll do it myself.”
“The Hakka family can wash it, but I can’t wash it?”
“She is the next one. Man, you are not."
Six Niang smiled slightly and said, "I will prepare some midnight snacks for you."
It is impossible to eat well at the bonfire party. Because there are so many places to socialize, even if no one dares to persuade Uncle Zheng to drink, he still has to walk around with a wine glass... Well, it is also very tiring to pat the shoulders everywhere.
Zheng Fan washed his feet and walked into the bedroom. He saw several exquisite side dishes already placed on the small table in the bedroom, and Siniang was pouring wine.
Sit down at the table,
Zheng Fan sighed softly,
He knew that Siniang had something to say to him.
There are some hurdles that you cannot jump over or ignore.
"My lord, I have something to say to my lord."
Siniang handed Zheng Fan a glass of wine.
Zheng Fan reached out and took it. He didn’t drink it, but put it in front of him. He picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. He chewed it and said:
" Well, tell me."
As a master, as a promotion machine, you have to get used to your role.
Six Niang seemed to have drunk some before, and there was a sense of amorous feelings between her eyebrows.
"My lord, during the days when you went on the expedition, I have thought about it for a long time. In the past, I had to live my life.
It may not be possible to live a clear life. How comfortable;
After living in confusion, I understand that it is rare to be confused and feel at ease.
But now, it’s not possible if I don’t understand it. I want to advance.”
"Yeah, I know."
The attraction of regaining strength is something even a demon king can't resist. < /p>
It will hurt, and it will remind you from time to time that it is still there.”
Zheng Fan took another bite of the food,
then picked up the wine glass.
"My lord, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, there is no love between men and women in the slave family towards my lord."
The hand holding the wine glass froze.
"The slave family has really thought about it for many days. The slave family has also thought about whether I should lie to you or to lie to men. The slave family is the best at it.
But the slave family has also thought about it. I still feel that I should tell you the truth.
The slave family really doesn’t love the master. At least, it’s not the feeling between lovers.
The slave family really doesn’t love the master. I also want to look for it, but I can’t find it. I really can’t find it.”
Zheng Fan drank all the wine in the glass.
His face was filled with tears.
< p>I can't see any emotion.Even,
when he looked up at Siniang again,
he found that
he could feel more calm.
Some things, once said, are actually comfortable for both parties.
"There has never been a man in the slave family. Although many parts of the slave family have been used by your master, the slave family has always retained that place."
Zheng Fan I really want to ask, what kind of relationship do we have?
Making friends?
Regular customer?
But I feel that no matter what I say now, there will be a sour air after being issued a good person card, so I'd better keep silent.
Tsk,
How should I put it,
this feeling now.
"My lord, do you think that the reason why the slave family approached the lord and the gang leader joined that one at the beginning was because they wanted to use this method to advance themselves?"
Zheng Fan shook his head,Said: "No."
"The Lord really hasn't thought about it this way?"
"Really not."
Zheng Fan gave this answer It came out very firmly.
Because Siniang has no need to do this and has no reason to do so.
She is not a flower vase, nor is she an old madam who only knows how to open a red curtain.
She has the ability. In fact, whether it was in Hutou City or the subsequent moves to Xueguan, she was actually in charge of the family's business. The blind man was more responsible for other aspects. .
She can rely on her own ability and ability to make a living just like Liang Cheng, Xue San, and A Ming.
Since Liang Cheng and the others were able to advance step by step before,
There is no reason why she can't.
And from the beginning, Zheng Fan was "fearful" of Feng Siniang. Although he would appreciate Siniang's beauty and charm, he really didn't think about having the opportunity to kiss Fangze.
Because it was too scary, Zheng Fan didn’t dare.
If it hadn’t been for Siniang’s own initiative at that time, Uncle Zheng would never have taken that step on his own.
Of course, when I heard these words, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I really didn’t mean to blame anyone. I kept enjoying myself, but in the end I had to blame the other person;
What is the difference between this and the two-skinned man who sincerely persuades the lady to be a good person after the prostitution?
Where is the face?
However, that slight discomfort is unavoidable, because people always add some fantasies of their own to their own lives, their own future, and some beautiful things.
It is difficult for people to be truly satisfied. It is an instinct to want to go to Long and look forward to Shu.
“My lord, many times, the Nu family themselves don’t know what their situation is. The Nu family is not like A Cheng San’er and the others;
They have a past; At the beginning, they had their own experiences, they had come step by step, changed, matured, and experienced little by little.
But I only had the experience of the slave family. Does the Lord understand what I mean?"
Zheng Fan nodded.
He understands, because for example, the story of the blind man Liang Cheng Aming actually had a beginning and happened. They have a more complete context.
As for Siniang, most of the comic plots are about running a brothel in different cities with different backgrounds in different eras. Her most classic image is leaning on the railing on the second floor of the brothel. Looking into the distance.
The scenery in the distance may be the romance of Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty; it may be the revelry in Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty; it may be the drunken life and dreams of the Republic of China;
It may also be the neon background The traffic is busy.
She is very smart, but in fact she is very confused. She seems to be looking for something. Gradually, she seems to have forgotten what she is looking for and just keeps looking.Ah look for it.
Sixiang stretched out her hand,
touched Zheng Fan’s face,
Then,
she put her face close to it Come here,
The breath of each other blows on each other's face, itching slightly.
"My lord, I don't know what the so-called love between a man and a woman is. I feel that, my lord, you are not the man I love."
Zheng The uncle suddenly felt some signs of angina pectoris;
But he still smiled,
remained calm,
maintaining his demeanor and asked:
"Then what kind of man do you like?"
When Si Niang heard this,
a look of sadness immediately appeared on her face,
and then He stepped back,
throwing the wine bottle in his hand directly on the ground.
Fortunately, the floor was covered with carpet, so the wine bottle was not broken, but the wine spilled all over the floor, surrounding , immediately filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
Sixiang stretched out her hand,
pushed her black hair from her temples,
and said sadly:
"In the eyes of the slave family, , Men are all turbid things. When you get close to them, you will feel that they are smelly. They can only be regarded as rats crawling around in the smelly ditch, not even human beings.
My lord. , I don’t have the same admiration for you as a woman does for a man. I didn’t lie about this.
The master asked me before what kind of man I like;
In fact, I don’t have any love at all. There is no choice.
Because,
In the eyes of the slave family,
there is only one man in the world,
"

Good night everyone.
