In the blink of an eye, five days have passed, and all counties in Hanzhong are in order.

After Shun Lì recovered Hanzhong County, Li Xuan, the assassin of Liangzhou, immediately led more than 50 civil officials to garrison the Nanzheng County Mansion and sort out government affairs.

At this point, Hanzhong County was included in the jurisdiction of Liangzhou Thorn History Mansion, and Fa Zheng served as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong served as the general of Hanzhong, and led the Qin Gong Battalion of the Ministry to enter Hanzhong, and Cao Xing served as the guard of Jiameng Pass, guarding the traffic arteries in and out of Yizhou.

In addition, Pei Qian was promoted to the Taishou of Wudu County, and Yang Ang was appointed as the Captain of Wudu County; Yan Pu succeeded Pei Qian as the general's mansion and followed Li Li.

At the same time, Hanzhong County and Yongliang Prefecture simultaneously implemented the government, abolished the original tax law, changed to the 37 tax system, and strictly implemented the laws and regulations on acres of land, tenants and subordinates. However, all the servants and maids of the families of the eunuchs or the families of the powerful and powerful gentry must be registered, and the families of the princes shall not exceed 300 servants, and the land and real estate shall be verified, and all the fields and real estate beyond the provisions of the new law shall be confiscated and redistributed.

Within 10 days of the implementation of the new law, all counties in Hanzhong took on a new look, and the people in the city praised each other and told each other, and tens of thousands of displaced people settled down in a unified manner, and all of them were allocated houses and land.

Therefore, in the past ten days, the counties in Hanzhong have been very busy, the people are smiling, and the market is extremely lively, but no one dares to make trouble, and the law and order are good.

When Li Xuan, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong and others were busy and dizzy, in the backyard of the county guard's mansion, Li Li and Zhou Yu sat together leisurely and drank tea and talked happily.

"I heard that Meng Qi went to the barracks to find you last night, and asked you to go to Fufeng to intercede with his father Ma Teng?" After taking a sip of tea. Li Li said with a smile.

Zhou Yu's face was a little strange after hearing this, and he shook his head helplessly: "This is indeed the case." However, the lord knew that the last general was too familiar with Ma Teng. He couldn't speak at all, but Meng Qi begged me to talk to Miss Qiying for him and persuade his father to agree to the marriage between the two of them. I said that there was nothing I could do, but Meng Qi was unrelenting and begged each other, and I had no choice but to agree. No, the last general came to ask the lord for help today. I implore the Lord to come forward to resolve the matter. ”

"Ask me for help? Hehehe! Li Li smiled dumbly and said: "This is Meng Qi's family matter, and it is inconvenient for others to interfere." What's more, Gong Jin should know. Ma Teng is my father-in-law, and Meng Qi is still my eldest brother. It's really hard for me to come forward with this kind of thing, I can't use my power to oppress people, right? ”

"Huh?" Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "The lord said that he was laughing." It's really up to you. No one else can solve it. In fact. I knew that the reason why Meng Qi came to me for help was to ask me to ask the lord to come forward, and he himself was embarrassed to speak, for fear that the lord would take the opportunity to make fun of him. In addition, as far as I know, Ma Teng is too principled to persuade him at all, but he only obeys his orders. As long as the lord says a word, this matter can be solved. ”

"Is that so?" Li Li groaned. Pretended to bow his head slightly helplessly: "Well, since it is invited by Gongjin, I will respond to this matter." ”

While speaking, Li Li paused and said with a smile: "Actually, Meng Qi is also concerned about chaos, didn't you see that Miss Qiying was not in a hurry at all?" In fact, Mengxin had already mentioned their marriage in her letters, and entrusted the matter to me. Therefore, even if Meng Qi doesn't say it, I won't sit idly by. ”

"Hey, I see!" Zhou Yu patted his thigh and suddenly realized: "I wondered why Meng Qi would follow the lord to fight with the army, after all, there is no attack mission of the Long Xiang battalion in the army of the Western Expedition this time. Now I finally understand that Meng Qi came this time for Miss Qiying, because he had been relying on the lord's side and not leaving, leaving the Longxiang camp and following the army alone. From this point of view, Meng Qi really has a deep affection for Miss Qiying, but now he wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish and hold the beauty! Hehehe??????"

Li Li smiled and said, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass." Meng Qi is a man of temperament, and he had mutual affection with Qiying three years ago, but was stopped by his father Ma Teng, who beat the mandarin duck and forcibly separated the two of them. In recent years, Meng Qi has been forced to marry two concubines, but he has always been reluctant to marry the main family, in fact, he has never forgotten Zhang Qiying and has always wanted to marry her. When I learned of this, I called Meng Qi to my side, which was intended to promote their good deeds, so that a pair of lovers would not worry about each other; Otherwise, after a long time, these two people may become ill and end up depressed. ”

Although the last sentence is Li Li's speculation, it is also a feeling. Historically, Ma Chao and Zhang Lu's youngest daughter fell in love with each other, and Zhang Lu had already agreed to their marriage, but because Yang Song made a hindrance and slander, Zhang Lu regretted it again. After that, a couple of lovers never had a chance to come together again; It is said that Zhang Qiying never married for this reason, loved and hated, and died depressed. Coincidentally, Ma Chao also died in his early forties, and he also died of depression. However, Ma Chao's death was interpreted as a difficult ambition to be rewarded, and the revenge of exterminating the clan was delayed, and depression became an illness, resulting in an untimely death.

Time and space have changed, and now everything has changed. Ma Teng's father and son all served under Li Li's command, and his wife and children and the clansmen were not wiped out. Li Li couldn't be sure whether Ma Chao was depressed because of Zhang Qiying, but in line with the principle of being prepared, since this kind of thing happened to him, he would definitely not sit back and watch this kind of tragedy happen, and he would definitely try his best to fulfill the lovers.

Because, in the current chaotic situation, in the context of the social background of male superiority and inferiority of women, there are really few young lovers like Ma Chao and Zhang Qiying who are in love with each other, affectionate and righteous. Even Li Li is envious, although he has many wives and concubines, but there are really not many wives and concubines who have really gone through the whole love journey with him from acquaintance to love, and then to marriage, not even half of the thirteen wives and concubines. The reason why most of his wives and concubines follow him is mixed with various reasons, and it is by no means simply because of love; For example: seeking security and dependence, seeking a stable life, unexpectedly contributing to the couple, and factors such as power and wealth, etc. However, he and his wives and concubines have established an unbreakable deep relationship after marriage, which is a typical marriage first and then love.

―――――――――― small dividing lines――――――――――――

"Yesterday Xiaozhi mentioned a person to me, thinking that he was extremely greedy and regarded wealth as his life, but this person was by the side of the lord and served as the chief in charge of grain and grass, which made Xiaozhi very worried." Zhou Yu said softly while sipping tea.

Li Li's expression changed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he chuckled: "Gong Jin is talking about Liang Cao engaged in Yang Song?" ”

"Exactly." Zhou Yu nodded in response, and said with a smile: "It seems that the lord has already noticed it, so Xiaozhi and I don't have to worry, presumably the lord has already made arrangements for this." ”

Li Li bowed slightly, pondered and said: "Yang Songqi is extremely fond of money and greedy, I know all of this. Originally, I also planned to behead this person when I recovered Hanzhong, so as to prevent future troubles, and I could also use this to appease the hearts of Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and others, killing two birds with one stone. But this war is so smooth, it is undeniable that Yang Song should be the first to take the lead, and the ability and means shown by this person for money and wealth are also amazing, and people have to be impressed by him. If in a peaceful and prosperous world, this person is definitely an out-and-out corrupt official, with deep scheming and vicious methods, especially good at referring to deer as a horse and reversing black and white, which is absolutely unusable.

However, in troubled times, anyone who has a skill can use it. When used correctly, such scheming people can often unleash great potential, even astonishing and breathtaking. After returning to Chang'an, I will send him to Dunhuang County to lead the trade with the Western Regions, so that he can deal with money every day, and I will set a clear amount of trade revenue and expenditure for him at that time.

At present, the monthly income of Dunhuang Rongchang is 300,000 taels, and based on this, for every 10,000 taels of income increased per month, he will be rewarded with 100 taels, and the more he earns, the more rewards he will receive, and vice versa. At the same time, I will secretly order Fan Yong to send people to keep an eye on him, so that he should be able to do a lot of things, and maybe bring us unexpected gains. Of course, if he tries to sweep away the place, there is only a dead end waiting for him, his parents and children are in Chang'an, where can he run! ”

"Well, the lord is clever!" Zhou Yu looked stunned, and exclaimed: "This is really the most suitable position for Yang Song, he loves money like life, is smart and decisive, but he has a lot of eyes and is good at drilling." It is really suitable to put such a person in the Western Regions to deal with the merchants of the Western Regions, and make the best use of their talents! ”

Li Li smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "It's too early to say at this time, and the results can be seen later." This matter has been put aside for the time being, I wonder how the officers and men of our army have gotten along with the prisoners of war in Yizhou in the past few days? ”

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "They get along very well, they almost get together, they mix together every day, and even their daily exercises are put on hold." These days, the food of the prisoners of war in Yizhou is excellent, two meals a day, one meat and one vegetable, and one jar of wine for five people every night, which is almost catching up with the food treatment of our generals. They will leave in a few days, otherwise it will be a long time, and I am really worried that they will be reluctant to leave and do not want to return to Yizhou to reunite with their families. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused and said respectfully: "However, the appearance of the Yizhou generals is not very good, they are all held in solitary confinement, no one talks to them, and they stay in the cell all day long, so anxious that they go around." Especially Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and Zhang Ren, who was captured by Han Shengsheng earlier, had a very big temper, but fortunately no one paid attention to them, no matter whether they were looking for death or scolding, the soldiers guarding the cell did not answer, and they were about to go crazy. ”

"Well, okay, all I want is the effect." Li Li bowed his head in response and said with a smile: "From tonight onwards, you and I will act separately and set up a banquet to entertain a Yizhou general every half day, so that they can feel at home, as if they have walked from hell to the clouds. Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, and Zhang Ren were personally entertained by me, and I had a good talk with them, and it was best to turn enemies into friends. Giving people roses, hands have fragrance, people's hearts are flesh long, and there has never been a hard-hearted person in the world. After the reception, I personally went out of the city to see them off and let them return to Yizhou, and then it was time for us to return to Chang'an. ”
