Cai Yan smiled and said: "Husband, you are really smart, just guess, the concubine wants to ......"

Liu Xin smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Then let me guess again, my Zhaoji is not only outstanding in literature, but also proficient in music, what you want to learn should be a certain musical instrument on the grassland, right?" ”

"You can guess all the careful thinking of others, it's really boring." Cai Yan pretended to be angry, but because of Liu Xin's praise in his heart, he seemed to be as sweet as eating honey, and said coquettishly, "What the concubine wants to learn is a musical instrument called '笳' of the Huns." ”

In Liu Xin's eyes, Minchan and Cai Yan can be regarded as artists of this era, one is a dance artist and the other is an instrumental artist. Since you are an artist, of course, you will be keen on the art you love, and it is normal to want to learn the singing and dancing instrumental music of the grassland.

Liu Xin was about to agree, when she suddenly remembered the eighteen beats of Hu Ji made by Cai Yan in history, which was a work that represented her tragic life experience. Although Cai Yan's fate has completely changed due to her arrival, Liu Xin still doesn't want her to come into contact with this musical instrument again, so she can't help but hesitate again.

Cai Yan saw that Liu Xin's face was uncertain, and said coquettishly: "Husband, you are just favoritism, you can promise Sister Diao Chan, but you refuse to agree to the concubine." Oh, I know, no wonder you don't want Sister Minchan to be the maid of the concubine, I'm afraid you have other intentions. ”

When she said this, she completely ignored the fact that Minchan was by her side. Minchan couldn't help but be ashamed, and buried a mantis head even lower.

Liu Xin had to cough twice and said: "Zhaoji, what are you talking nonsense, I'm just worried that you have to take care of Xiang'er again, and you have to accompany Miss Minchan to practice dancing, and then learn what Hu Ji, I'm afraid I won't be busy." If you really want to learn, just ask those Hun girls, and I can't guarantee that they will have a beard with them. However, even if they don't have them around, it doesn't matter, if you're really interested, I'll ask someone to go to the grassland to find a few to come back. ”

"Husband, thank you for the concubine and Miss Minchan. Let's go now, so as not to disturb your business. Cai Yan laughed, pulled Minchan, who was still in a daze there, and walked out, and when she arrived at the door, she turned back and said, "Husband, Sister Minchan is also a big boss, if you don't plan to keep her, just say it earlier, don't delay Sister Minchan's youth." ”

Liu Xin was moved by Cai Yan's words, and blurted out: "Hey, wait." ”

Cai Yan stopped, turned his head and said with a wicked smile: "Husband, you plan to ...... now"

Liu Xin's old face turned red and said, "No." Miss Minchan, Liu wants to ask, you said last time you went to visit Wang Yun, I don't know if you went? Is he satisfied with the job assigned to him? ”

Minchan was first blushed by Cai Yan's repeated jokes, and then heard Liu Xin call them, but she was full of expectations, but when she heard Liu Xin ask about this matter, she didn't feel a little lost, turned around and gave a salute, shook her head and said: "After the folk girl went back, I thought about it for a long time, so it's better to ask the adults to accompany the folk girl when they are free." ”

With such a peerless beauty in front of her, how could Liu Xin not be impressed? Now there is no need to worry about what tricks Wang Yun will play, naturally he has no scruples, and he can clearly feel that Diao Chan does not seem to be resistant to being committed to him, and now he is almost piercing the layer of window paper.

Liu Xin almost blurted out just now, but suddenly remembered Ma Yun. , Ma Yun was really good to him, but he kept getting some women home again and again, and it seemed that he didn't quite match her, so he changed his mouth again.

Some things need to be struck while the iron is hot, Liu Xin changed his words, his mood calmed down, and he said lightly: "I see." That's okay, but in a few days, Liu will personally accompany the girl. ”

Diao Chan only felt that her cheeks were hot, and she agreed softly, but she didn't dare to raise her head from beginning to end, so she hurriedly followed Cai Yan to the flower hall to find those Hun girls.

At this time, Fu Zhu had already drafted an order for Mi Zhu and Yu to turn over, and brought it to Liu Xin for a look, and after getting Liu Xin's approval, he arranged for the meteor fast horse to be sent to the refugee camp in Wu County day and night.

While Liu Xin was building roads in various places, he also paid great attention to the construction of post stations along the way, basically setting up a post station every 30 to 50 miles. It's not enough to build a post station, but also to raise a large number of post guards and military horses, which are very expensive, and only Liu Xin can afford this big deal.

However, all the post stations were used for both military and civilian purposes, not only to convey military information, but also to maintain the roads, and also to provide accommodation services for merchants traveling from south to north. Therefore, most post stations are not exactly a money-consuming play, and there will be a certain amount of income, especially in some more commercially developed areas, where post stations will have a small balance after a year, after cutting out various expenses.

There are more post stations, which not only facilitates the transmission of military information, but also greatly increases the security along the way, otherwise, how many post guards dare to rush at night on such a long distance from Xiangyang to Wu County? Because it was an emergency military situation, the post guard changed people and horses along the way, and in less than two days, the order from Xiangyang was sent to Yu Tuo's hands.

Yu turned over this urgent military information to everyone and circulated it, and even Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong did not hide it.

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but praise: "I can't imagine that Lord Liu is in Xiangyang, but he has a deep understanding of what happened in Xuzhou, no wonder he can have such achievements today." ”

Mi Zhu had palpitations in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "If it weren't for the two gentlemen to remind them in time, when the lord's letter arrived, it would have caused a big disaster." Mi will definitely report what happened here to the lord as it is, and strongly recommend the two gentlemen to the lord. With the talents of the two gentlemen, the Lord Guild will be entrusted with important tasks. ”

Zhang Hong waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness." They are used to being idle, but there are a few acres of thin fields and a few thatched huts are enough. ”

Gan Ning said on the side: "It's not too late to discuss these things slowly. Since the lord has an order, he wants to execute Zhenrong on the spot to thank Wanmin, so he asks Lord Yu to behead him, and Gan personally holds the knife and sends him on the road. ”

Zhang Zhao already knew that Gan Ning was the captain of the navy under Liu Xin, so he couldn't help but wonder: "How could General Lao personally do the execution?" ”

Gan Ning said disapprerovingly: "There has been no war recently, and life has been uneventful, so it's good to have a chance to kill someone to relieve boredom." ”

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were stunned for a while, such a person can also be a captain of the navy, Liu Xin is really informal in terms of employing people.

Xu Sheng, who had been speechless, suddenly said: "If General Gan is in a panic, why don't you go to Guangling and his party?" ”

Gan Ning said angrily: "You think I don't want to, but the lord said clearly in the letter that we are not allowed to attack Guangling without authorization." To tell you the truth, Gan is still being punished for his crimes because of the last unauthorized use of troops last time, but this matter is absolutely impossible. ”

Zhang Hong nodded and said: "Lord Liu's consideration is still relatively thorough, if you can't defend Guangling, it's better not to, lest the tail be too big." ”

Xu Sheng arched his hand and said: "You all misunderstood, Xu did not persuade General Gan to use troops against Guangling, but persuaded General Gan to lead his Mengchong giant ship to Guangling along the river and bring those innocent people here." ”

This night, Gan Ning and the others were busy clearing out the soldiers that Zhenrong brought from Pengcheng, and Mi Zhu was not idle. Together with Yu Tuo, he settled Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's families and led them to visit the refugee camp. Zhang Zhao and others were amazed by the various systems and good living order of the refugee camps. It is said that after the catastrophe, there was a great epidemic, so many people fled from Xuzhou to the south of the Yangtze River, gathered on this small riverbank, not only did not cause an epidemic of epidemics, but also did not appear to be unaccustomed to the water and soil, which is very rare. Next, Mi Zhu also introduced to them the resettlement of these people, as well as the future prospects that Liu Xin planned for them.

Zhang Zhao and the others originally planned to wait for the war in Xuzhou to gradually subside before returning to their hometown, but now after listening to Mi Zhu's statement, they can't help but feel that as long as they follow the path designed by Liu Xin, the life in Jiangnan will only get better and better, and they suddenly started to stay and see it later.

Xu Sheng followed Zhang Zhao and them for a few days, and also developed a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and now after listening to Zhang Zhao's analysis, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he remembered the more than 100,000 Pengcheng people who were still stranded in Guangling and the local people in Guangling who were devastated by the Rong, so he came up with this idea.

In Xu Sheng's view, the navy has so many big ships, and it is enough to pick up and drop off more than 100,000 refugees, and it is enough to make four or five round-trips. He didn't know that these ships of the navy were built by Liu Xin with all his might, and there were many highly secret secrets in them, in case of leaking secrets, it was a big deal, how could so many ordinary people be allowed to board the warships?

Gan Ning knew the power of it, and rejected Xu Sheng's proposal without hesitation, saying: "At most, the naval warships will serve as escorts, and ordinary people will never be allowed to board the ships!" ”

Mi Zhu is also a native of Xuzhou, seeing that the people in his hometown suffered this catastrophe, he had long been unable to sleep and eat, thought about it for a while, and felt that Xu Sheng's proposal was really feasible, and couldn't help but say: "General Gan, the ships that transport the people do not need to be provided by the navy, only need the navy to provide escorts." ”

Yu chuckled and said, "Is Lord Mi the idea of fighting those ships that were held hostage by Ji Rong?" ”

A few days ago, the people of Xuzhou wanted to come to Jiangnan, and they also took those merchant ships and fishing boats, and if they were lucky, there would also be sailors who sneaked across the river to escort them. However, the people crossed the river spontaneously, and the merchant ships and fishing boats were also found by themselves, although after crossing the river, Mi Zhu would additionally subsidize some money and goods for those boats, but in terms of organization, it seemed a little messy. Now the opportunity has come, because Zhenrong has bound these ships together, and can transport those Xuzhou people in an organized and large batch.

After Yu translated this, Gan Ning naturally understood what Mi Zhu meant, he was also a little tempted, hesitated, and said: "It is not a problem to be escorted by the navy, but it is necessary to gather those people first." Otherwise, a large number of ships will be moored on the opposite shore for a long time, which will inevitably cause misunderstanding among Liu Miao and others, and in the event of a conflict, it will violate the lord's strict order not to use force. ”

Mi Zhu said without thinking: "Without further ado, Mi will go to Guangling in person, organize the fleeing people, and cross the river in batches!" ”
