When Lu Gao was determined, in the southern city of Jiyang County, Wu Bingzong was traveling

"General, look, all the squares have been cleared, and there are trees and flowers on the left and right of the road!" said a soldier pointing to the left and right of the street.

It was a row of shady trees, the soil was still fresh and sprinkled with water.

Wu Xingzong looked at it and was silent, he is now a five-rank general and knows the inside story.

The restoration and construction of Jiyang County is very special, and it is said that this is the order of the political envoy Yu Liangbo, which is called the so-called "contracting".

In the past, it was the government that paid for it, and there were still complaints, and there were also black officials.

Now it is contracted to large and small merchants, not only does it not cost a penny, but also receives a sum of money to be added to the county treasury, and these merchants cannot directly use public power to requisition the people, they must hire people to build, and many people have food.

Some of the abandoned land will be recovered by the government and subcontracted to large households, which can develop at least hundreds of shops...... In a roundabout year, the big trading company made money.

Wu Xingzong was speechless, thinking in his heart, this court is sincere to all the princes, and it will really make money!

Everywhere they went, a large number of counties quickly recovered.

At this time, at noon, there were many pedestrians on the street, some people were busy going home to eat, passers-by were looking for a nearby wine shop to eat, and the aroma of food wafted on the street, so that the hungry people couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly.

Wu Xingzong has always been burly, the war horse he rode was very obvious, and there were a few personal soldiers who were also wearing civilian clothes but could see the soldiers at a glance, so along the way, few people dared to look at him.

Occasionally, someone cast a gaze, and they would also be taken by the momentum, and quickly and cautiously turned their gaze away.

"General, let's have a hard time getting out, I heard that the restaurant in front of me has good wine, it's better to do it. ”。 ”

Smelling the aroma of wine and food, several pro-soldiers who were already a little hungry couldn't help but swallow their saliva The person closest to Wu Xingzong in front of them urged him to take a few steps forward and whispered beside Wu Xingzong.

Wu Xingzong smiled: "It just so happens that I'm also a little hungry, so let's go to that restaurant and have lunch and then go back!"

said, and looked at it with a smile: "You can order food and drink, but don't overdo it, we have to go back to the barracks in the afternoon!"

"Hehe, thank you, General!" said the soldier, happily.

Wu Xingzong looked at it, it was a little pity, if it was in an ordinary army, there was a lot of room for his own placement, and the brothers in the original township could arrange it.

It's a pity that he was transferred to the cavalry camp, the cavalry camp was strict and the number of people was small, so it was difficult to place people and even split his little brother Tang Yuan.

Now these ten pro-soldiers are regarded as their own villagers, no matter how strict Wu Xingzong is, he naturally has to take care of them.

In the ranks of the Dacheng Army, according to different types of troops, the teams are different, and the salaries and silver are also different.

After each battle, the generals were allowed to keep a portion of the spoils of war according to their rank, but the average soldier received very little cash.

This is still in the case that the Dacheng army does not withhold salaries, and it is very common to be deducted in the armies of other princes.

It is rare for such a situation to occur in the Dacheng Army, and if someone dares to do this, they will be killed directly, and the strict military discipline maintains the basic treatment of ordinary soldiers.

The reward for military merit is extremely rich is that there is no mistake that the soldiers have rations, and the soldiers who do not increase the fields are not given fields, and if there are beheadings, there will be more fields and houses to give, but whether it is a pawn, a soldier, or a captain, they do not give money directly, but give it to the family behind their backs, so in fact, the soldiers do not have many hands.

Therefore, the general still has to take action to open the meat.

The group walked for a while and came to the restaurant they were talking about.

Looking up, I saw that this restaurant only had two floors, and the repair was very atmospheric, just standing outside, I could smell the tempting aroma of wine, smell the fragrance and know the wine, Wu Xingzong turned over and dismounted, and also felt hungry in his belly.

There were guys in the restaurant who saw this guy.

Seeing a few people riding war horses, although the leader was in civilian clothes, he was very high-class, and he knew that this was a gold master.

"A few guest officers, look at the eyes, but it's the first time you've come to our restaurant?" the guy greeted him with a smile, but he was polite to Wu Xingzong.

The guy's eyes are very poisonous, and he always ushers in the send-off, and he knows who is the leader of this group.

Wu Xingzong showed a faint smile: "Yes, this is the first time I have come." ”

"This guest officer, you have come to the right place! In our restaurant, the signature specialty dishes are the same one after another, and the wine is brewed by oneself, which is praised by others! These people are coming with you, right? Come in quickly, the small horses will take care of them carefully, and give them the best fodder!"

"You are articulate, this is a reward for you, and a few horses will be taken care of for us!" casually threw a small piece of broken silver, and Wu Xingzong walked inside.

A few of his own soldiers followed, and the men hurriedly let them in, and after asking, shouted loudly: "Five upstairs!"

They went out to take care of their horses.

Facing the second floor, sitting down in a window position, Wu Xingzong had a table by himself, and opened a table with the four personal soldiers who came.

Wu Xingzong instructed: "Serve some of the signature dishes here first, and then bring a pot of wine." There are four kinds of this table, a small pot of wine, and the combination of meat and vegetables is up to you. ”

"This guest officer can rest assured, our restaurant is good at authentic dishes, and the wine is an old wine, so that a few people can be satisfied!" said that, he served fruit and tea to both tables, and went to supervise the serving.

Wu Xingzong sat alone, sitting position, it is very convenient to watch the street scene outside, because it is the second floor, the field of vision is very broad, bow down, the traffic is busy, a prosperous scene, all in sight.

When he was looking at it casually, a few teenagers laughed and ran from under the restaurant where they were, although they were dressed in shabby, they were still clean.

In the territory controlled by the Dacheng army, even if the decline has just been calmed down, there is little hunger.

This is mainly a large-scale subcontracted project, which leads to a large number of manpower, as long as he is willing to work, he will not be hungry and full when he was young",...

Wu Xingzong unconsciously recalled his childhood.

At that time, although the world was not in turmoil, the emperor was weak, and the princes in various places went their own way, and they were tyrannical for the sake of war, and they could still have a meal if they had parents, and they could only see luck when they became orphans.

When I was a child, I ate a lot, and at that time, even my own baby was rarely able to eat a full meal, and I ate hundreds of meals like this, eating so much, and I could live smoothly, which was a miracle.

As he grew older, no one was willing to give food, in order to survive, he could only find a way out, and he was stubborn since he was a child, no one wanted him to do things, so he had to gather a few orphans to become gangsters.

The more this is the case, the more unpleasant the county's inspector Li is, always looking for trouble, maybe from that time on, he wants to get rid of his fate one day, and only the high pure master in the monastery is very good to him, every time they come to beg for food, they will always help.

This great kindness of the Supreme Master cannot be forgotten by himself.

Thinking of Master Gaojing, Wu Xingzong sighed slightly, the last time the demon monk assassinated the emperor, and as a result, he carried out a large-scale purge, Wu Xingzong felt that this matter was very right, these demon monks could not be punished if they were not punished.

The people are poor, the monks are rich and fat, even Wu Xingzong knows this very well, the great kindness of Master Gaojing is one thing, and the entire Brahma is another thing.

It's just that Master Gao Jing doesn't know if he has been connected or not, so he has to take time to go back and take care of it.

"This guest officer, this is the wine and food you want" ,..." The sound in his ears made Wu Xingzong come back to his senses, retract his gaze from the window, and look up, only to see a guy putting the wine and food on the tray on the table in front of him, and the mutton fat white wine glass was placed in front of him, and he was about to lift the wine jug to pour the wine, but Wu Xingzong stopped him and said: "I will come by myself." ”

"Yes, what do you have to say to the guest officer, the one who calls the small one is. Seeing this, the man retreated.

Wine and food were served on the other table, and several of the soldiers began to eat

Wu Xingzong carried the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, took it up and took a sip gently, and tasted it carefully, and there was a plate of neat fruit on it, which looked bright.

was using, only to hear the sound of the stairs, a middle-aged man walked in, seemed to be smiling, standing and scrutinizing, sweeping his eyes, he could see Wu Xingzong who was being used.

"This son, but a local?" the middle-aged man whispered as he came to the table.

Wu Xingzong frowned: "Who are you?"

Standing in front of him was a middle-aged man, dressed in green clothes, with a short hair, long and narrow phoenix eyes, a swift walk, and a bit of fairy wind bones, I saw this person smile and salute Wu Xingzong: "The villain is just a Xiangshi, seeing that the son is extraordinary, he is willing to meet the son and ask for a cup of thin wine to drink!"

Wu Xingzong burst into laughter and said, "It turned out to be a Xiangshi, you didn't go to set up a stall, but you came here to beg for wine, I don't know what magical powers you have?"

The middle-aged man looked at him silently and said, "This son said well, how can I ask for a glass of wine in front of you if I don't have the ability, but I have been born with different talents since I was a child, and I have cultivated secrets, but I still dare to ask for a glass." ”

Wu Xingzong laughed, put away his smile for a moment, and said lightly: "It's rare to have courage, then please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" Xiangshi thanked with a smile, and then sat down and greeted Wu Xingzong.

"I don't know...... , Childe's surname?"

"The surname is Wu. Wu Xingzong said, there is nothing to do today, and he came out with his own soldiers to relax in the city, but he didn't want to meet Xiangshi to come and talk.

On weekdays, you won't have the mind to meet each other, but if you have nothing to do today, just see what the other party can say.

Unexpectedly, when the scholar saw it, he showed a shocked expression, hesitated again, and said, "Can you please move the son there to speak?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a place in the corner, which was a hidden place for talking because of the dim light and the absence of windows, and the fact that few people gathered.

Wu Xingzong was originally just laughing and talking, as a pastime, when he saw this person's style, his heart suddenly sank, and he stared at this person at the moment, and only said lightly after a while: "It's up to you." ”

With a sneer, he waved off his own soldiers and got up to go over
