Chapter IX Recruiting Private Soldiers

"Thank you, Mr. Cai." Liu Fan thanked.

At this time, Wei Ji took a step forward and bowed to Liu Fan, saying, "It is a blessing for the world to save the people of Xiqinting. The Wei Mansion should give out tens of gold and thirty thousand stones of food to the Xiqin Marquis' Mansion, and he has done his best."

People have selfish intentions. If Wei Ji was asked to distribute all the fertile land to the tenant farmers, he would not be willing to give up. Being able to take out ten thousand taels of gold and 30,000 stones of food means that Wei Ji was still very graceful and deserved to be a great scholar in the country in the future.

Liu Fan lived for a lifetime and had let go of many things. All he wanted was the prosperity of the people, peace in the world, fighting against the four barbarians, and congratulations to all countries.

"Thank you, Brother Wei." Liu Fan replied to thank him.

Liu Fan had already learned from Liu Yu that although the Xiqin Marquis Mansion had a lot of assets, the grain was less than 10,000 stones, which far exceeded the moment when the refugees could not support the harvest of food after the military farm. Hanoi County and Henan County were still famine, and it is said that they had reached the point where Yi Zi ate each other. If they heard that there was a grain supply in Hedong, they would definitely rush to Hedong County. Wei Ji took out so much money and grain, which would really solve the urgent problem at that time. If the aristocratic families in Hedong County, or the aristocratic families in the world were the same as Wei Ji, there would be a scene where the people left their hometowns and hungry people everywhere?

"Although my hometown Chenliu County has land, my family has been farmed for the neighbors since they moved to Anyi. Now, seeing the disaster victims everywhere, I can't do anything about it!" Seeing that his student Wei Ji was so generous, Cai Yong was a little unnatural.

Cai Yong was not from a noble family. After being dismissed from office and returned to the country, he could only rely on his previous savings and teaching his students to live.

But Jiang is still old, and Cai Yong is more than Wei Ji thought: "Do you know if you are eating the mountain!"

"I can lead refugees to build houses, reclaim wilderness, cultivate land, sow seeds in spring, and harvest in autumn. How can I sit and eat the mountains in vain?" Liu Fan said with a smile.

Liu Fan's casual and calm words shocked Cai Yong and Wei Ji again.

Because there was no such thing as military farming in this era, Cao Cao was the first person to establish the military farming system.

...

As the sunset gradually set, Liu Fan sent Cai Yong and Wei Ji out of the Hou Mansion.

After Cai Yong and Wei Ji got on the carriage, Cai Yong lifted up the curtains on the carriage and looked at the Western Qinhou Mansion.

"Bo Ru, Liu Fan has the talent of conquering the world and seizing the world, so he can only make peace in the country. Why do he insist on abandoning literature and not using it, but instead follow the martial arts?" Cai Yong said to Wei Ji with regret.

"Liu Fan's eyes are profound. Perhaps Congwu is more suitable for him than Congwen, or perhaps he has guessed something? No matter what, I only see his talents in my life." Wei Ji looked admiration. After two hours of conversation, he felt that Liu Fan's knowledge was like the sea, endless. Faced with his endless remarks, Wei Ji felt like a boat on the sea.

Liu Fan talked to Cai Yong and Wei Ji all the essence of theories later. Once they said it, they made people think deeply. While they were full of feelings, they were also wonderful.

"I'm only sixteen years old, only one year older than Yan'er." Cai Yong said a slightly profound sentence.

Wei Ji was depressed. Didn’t you be optimistic about my diligent and studious younger brother Wei Zhongdao? Why did you change your mind again? But when you think about the identity of your younger brother as a talented man is a joke compared to that of Liu Fan, you won’t say much.

After Liu Fan sent Cai Yong away, he called Liu Yu and told him that Wei Ji would send countless money and grain in the past few days, asking him to prepare to accept it. He also told Liu Yu about the military farming.

"Uncle Liu, you ask Liu Jiang to select strong men when relocating refugees, and promise money and food to use them as private soldiers. There is no limit on how many. As for armor and weapons, I will find someone to do it." Although there was no one around, Liu Fan still lowered his voice and said to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was shocked, especially when he heard the four words "no limit" and what the master was going to do.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, even looking at the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, almost all the aristocratic families had private soldiers, but they were usually called guards, diners or private tenants.

After saying this, Liu Fan turned around and left. He had not seen Guan Yu for a day, so he had to contact him.

Liu Fan came outside Guan Yu's room. Because it was dark, he lit a candle in Guan Yu's house. Liu Fan could see a figure kneeling on the bed holding a bamboo slip through the wall.

Liu Fan knocked in and entered.

"I'm very busy today. I can't drink with Brother Yun for a whole day. I'll come to apologize." As soon as I entered the door, Liu Fan accused Guan Yu.

Guan Yu quickly put down Chunqiu in his hand, got off the bed, and said, "What's the crime of the young master? I heard that the young master divided the land and tenants to help the refugees. What a great kindness this is? I plan to go to Zhuo County tomorrow and no longer bother the young master."

"Brother Yun said this, but I am not well treated." Liu Fan pretended to be angry.

"Young Master invites me to check in. Every meal has wine and meat. How can I not be well received?" Hearing Liu Fan's words, Guan Yu quickly retorted.

"Haha, it means that the hospitality is comprehensive, so let me fulfill the friendship of the landlord for a few days. I still want to communicate more with Brother Yun in the past few days, so as to avoid any regrets in the future." Liu Fan laughed and said undeniably.

"Then I'll bother you for a few more days."

Liu Fan said this, so Guan Yu was naturally unable to refuse his affection.

"I heard from Uncle Liu that Brother Yun is guiding the martial arts of the hospital today. How about it? Is there any material to make?" Liu Fan casually talked about a topic and started chatting with Guan Yu.

"There are a total of twenty guards in the Gongzi Mansion. Although they are carefully selected heroes, their bodies have been fixed. After training, they are elite soldiers who go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. However, there is a young man named Liu Hai who loves to practice martial arts. As long as they are diligent in the Gongzi Mansion, they may achieve great success in the future."

There were twenty guards in the Xiqin Marquis’ Mansion, twenty servants, and none of them were maids. In addition, there were Liu Yu and his wife, their eldest son Liu Jiang and the second son Liu Hai.

Although Liu Jiang is twenty years old, he is more prominent than his father in some aspects and is particularly eloquent. Liu Hai is only fourteen years old. Because he grew up with Liu Fan, he was influenced by Liu Fan and loved to practice martial arts very much.

After saying a few more words to Guan Yu, Liu Fan walked out of Guan Yu's room.

When he arrived at the martial arts training ground, he picked up the Overlord's Sphur and waved it. Liu Fan now needs to abandon the halberd technique of his previous life, and like Guan Yu, he creates his own martial arts.

The halberd used in the previous life is very different from the halberd halberd, and the strength and physical characteristics of this life are very different from those of the previous life. Only by creating your own halberd technique can the strength be stronger.

...

As Liu Fan was busy running around, seven days passed.

During these seven days, he was busy, personally bringing farmers and the people to build houses during the day, and discussing military tactics with Guan Yu at night. Guan Yu helped Liu Fan train the hospital during the day, and the hospital changed from the original twenty to three hundred. The originally empty Xiqin Marquis Mansion was about to be filled. The money and food that Wei Ji promised to give to Liu Fan had been transported.

Just yesterday, Liu Fan took in more than 10,000 refugees, and the land he planned to settle was no longer enough to survive. Liu Fan had to go to find Li Lun, the commander of Anyi, himself.

Although Liu Fan only arrived in the late Han Dynasty for about ten days, his reputation had spread to the nineteen counties in Hedong. Especially after the two songs of "Pity Farmers" were spread to the entire Sili area, they could be seen everywhere singing "Pity Farmers", or the walls of a certain wine house were engraved with "Pity Farmers". Liu Fan, who brought Pity Farmers to this era, was even talked about by people and even praised as a famous scholar in Hedong.
