In the carriage, four lips were as glue as glue, and it took a long time to separate reluctantly. Pei Ying lay in her lover's arms with a blush on her face, allowing his hands to knead her clothes. She looked up from time to time and kissed his chin full of thorns.
"Get sick, do you miss me?"
"think!"
"What's your idea?"
"When I was so cold that I was about to die of cold, I thought about the warmth in your bedding and I didn't feel cold anymore."
Pei Ying couldn't help but touch his chin lovingly, "But you succeeded, didn't you?"
Zhang Huan pulled his hand out of her clothes, held her face and kissed her fragrant lips, "This is just the beginning, and I still have to put in a lot of effort to truly gain a foothold in Hexi."
Zhang Huan hugged her, opened the curtain and pointed at the wealthy families across the river and said, "Did you see that there is very little arable land in Hexi, but they all occupied it. After the Wei family and I reached a reconciliation, the next thing we have to do is to take back all the land and distribute it to the Xiliang Army."
Pei Ying frowned slightly, and she sat upright and looked at Zhang Huan in surprise and said, "Give up the disease, have you never thought about getting their support? Emperor Guangwu relied on the support of the powerful to finally restore the Han Dynasty..."
"But it also planted the root of the demise of the Han Dynasty." Zhang Huan interrupted her with a smile, "I am also a scholar and a family member. Don't you know that I want to obtain the support of the aristocratic families? When Emperor Gaozu seized the Yang family, he largely obtained the support of Hedong and major families in Shandong. However, at this time, Hexi was vast and sparsely populated, but lacked arable land. The Wei family was powerful. If you want to compete with the Wei family, you must first have a strong army and be absolutely loyal to me. But this cannot be done by saying it. You must give them actual benefits, let them take root in Hexi with peace of mind, and let their interests be closely related to my rise and fall. In this way, only the same thing can be done."
"Land!" Pei Ying blurted out.
"Yes! It's the land." Zhang Huan nodded, leaning against the wall of the car and smiling faintly: "I can't let the soldiers work hard for me, but let their families be exploited by these wealthy families!"
Pei Ying gradually understood Zhang Huan's meaning, and suddenly a thought came from her mind to help him achieve great things. This idea was so strong and irresistible. She lowered her head and thought about it and asked, "You just said you wanted to reconcile with the Wei family. What does this mean?"
"I need time to manage Hexi, and first of all, I have to reconcile with the Wei family. Also, I have received more than 8,000 surrendered soldiers, but most of their family are in Longyou and are controlled by the Wei family. If they want them to truly become my soldiers, they must move their families to Hexi, so I have no choice."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Of course, it is to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit." Zhang Huan patted her face lightly and smiled, "If I guess correctly, Wei Yan should send someone to discuss the redemption of prisoners of war these days. Of course, this is just Wei Yan's temptation. Before he figured out the other party's true intention, no one would easily reveal his bottom line. I am also planning to send an envoy to Kaiyang County. I happened to hear that Mrs. Wei celebrated her birthday, so she used the excuse of her birthday."
