Chapter 15 Adults (Part 2) (5.6k2 in 1)(1/2)

At noon, when Gongsun Xun and his wife were muttering about something in the store, the scene outside was actually very lively.

You must know that Liucheng is not a county town, but a purely military city. To the northwest is the Yu River, which is the natural border between the Han Liaoxi County and Xianbei... Of course, if you feel that the word Yu River is a bit unfamiliar

, the Daling River must be familiar to people.

In short, this is an important military support point on the border between the Han Dynasty and Xianbei. Two hundred miles to the east is Yangle City, and behind Yangle City is the famous Liaohe Plain, which is also the essence of the five counties outside the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty.

Xuantu County, the Liaodong vassal state (Changli County), Liaodong County's commandery Xiangping, and of course Liaoxi County's commandery Yangle, are all crowded here.

As for three hundred miles to the south, there is Lulongsai, which is the gateway to Hebei, so of course it goes without saying.

In other words, as long as the two important points of Liucheng and Lulongsai are maintained, the Xianbei people will basically have nothing to do with the defense system of the Han Dynasty... Of course, if someone must want to cross the city and kill by force, then there is nothing you can do.

However, please be sure to refer to Ke Zuitan, an adult from central Xianbei who was trampled to a pulp and his head could not be found.

And since we are talking about a frontier military location, we can generally assume that this is a place with developed commerce and trade... Yes, the Amway's warehouse here is terrifyingly large. Not only does it almost cover the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Liucheng garrison, but it also directly provides food and clothing here.

He and the surrounding small Xianbei tribes conducted some legal transactions or transactions that were generally considered legal by the local garrison.

So back to the present, with the arrival of Aunt Gongsun and the army gathered in Liucheng, leaving aside Han Dang who had been a temporary worker on the Amway, so he was somewhat mentally prepared, the others such as Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Cheng Pu, Lou Gui and others

This time I really learned a lot!

I saw that the Han army and the Wuhuan army who had just finished the big battle came to the Anli in Liucheng to trade. The trading range ranged from tall horses to rusty arrowheads, from large quantities of grain to fresh horse meat and horse bones, from salty

From the salted fish that obviously exceeds the standard to the pure white cloth... almost everything is included.

There are even sergeants from the so-called "free shipping areas" such as Sene, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Guangyang. They don't even want anything, but are rushing to give up some profits. As long as Amway helps deliver money and food directly to their homes.

.

As for Mohu Zang, who was crying bitterly a few days ago, he was jumping up and down now, using his qualifications as a first-level Amway offline, to buy and sell there, and to use his hands to defeat the extremely tyrannical Wuhuan on the battlefield.

You cannot take care of yourself if you are teased by others.

Anyway, after looking around at the door, others couldn't figure it out. Lou Gui, who had worked as an accountant for a few days and had some knowledge, felt that Amway had to take 30% of the spoils of this battle in vain!

However, it was not just Lou Gui and others who were watching this scene. On the high platform used for defense and command in the city, Zhao Bao, the prefect of Liaoxi Province, was also staring at the grand event here with a strange expression.

"Fu Jun..." Liucheng Guardsman is a Sima from another department of Qianshi. He was quite uneasy when he saw this. "Would you like me to lead a team to restrain it?"

"Restrict what?" Zhao Bao sighed. "I'm not one of those famous soldiers who only know how to sit and scream all day long. The soldiers fought with their lives to save my mother, so what if I made a little fortune on the battlefield? Those Xianbei people ripped off their bodies.

What can they do with the dirty leather robes they bring back, wash them and wear them again? It would be safer to exchange them for some food!"

"Fu Jun Rende." General Liucheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides, even if we can restrain the soldiers of our own county, do we still have the nerve to restrain the elites from all over Liaodong who came to help in the battle? As for the Wuhuan people... hum, we can restrain them and just listen?"

This time the Liucheng garrison did not speak anymore... Naqiu Liju was halfway through the pursuit when he suddenly said that it was getting dark and it was not good to fight at night, so he forcibly let go of all the Xianbei soldiers who could have been blocked on the south bank of the Daling River.

The one who was unhappy was no one else but him, Sima of the Liucheng Garrison Department who suddenly realized that he had lost a lot of military merit when he woke up early in the morning!

You must know that if he could coordinate with the pursuers and kill thousands of Xianbei people, he, a Sima of the Thousand Stone Division, would probably be able to turn over and become a Captain of the Two Thousand Stones... That would be like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate!

Then what?

Then everything was gone! Are you angry?

"That's it!" Zhao Bao sighed, turned around and left, followed immediately by a large number of Liaoxi county officials. "Be careful not to let the armor plates and arrowheads fall into the hands of the Xianbei people. As for the salted fish... forget about the salted fish, you have to give it to them.

The Gongsun family has some face."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, the armor plates and arrowheads purchased by the Amway will never be used to aid the enemy!" The Sima from the other department answered very neatly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Bao, who was walking in front, couldn't help but shook his head. Even the few smart accompanying county officials looked back at the other commanders speechlessly... Why do you do this so simply, for fear that the county guard doesn't know?

Do you Liucheng garrison have various connections with Amway?

"Mother!"

Just when everyone was about to follow the prefect to end the inspection, they suddenly heard a greeting from the prefect in front. Everyone looked up and saw Mrs. Zhao walking up to the high platform in person. Although they were confused, they hurriedly

They all bowed their heads to say hello...

It turned out that after the battle that day, Zhao Bao ordered the camp to move forward to Liucheng, and Mrs. Zhao was also extremely courageous. Although she had gone through such a dangerous incident, she still held on and refused to be escorted directly to Yangle.

, instead she said she wanted to thank the sergeant who rescued her in person, and then actually took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter across the battlefield again and returned to Liucheng.

"Mother, why don't you rest in the official residence?" Zhao Bao quickly greeted carefully. "It's very windy on this high platform. In spring, be careful to catch a cold..."

"I won't hide anything from my son, that's all... If I can't finalize something with you as soon as possible, I will always feel uneasy!"

"Mom, just tell me." As soon as he said this, Zhao Bao was naturally speechless.

In fact, not to mention Zhao Bao, the surrounding county officials and officers were all gearing up, preparing to take the opportunity to show off in front of the county governor and the old lady... You must know that anyone who is not blind will understand.

After this battle, there is a high probability that Governor Zhao will be granted the title of Marquis immediately, and he is not very young, so his future will be limitless! And Mrs. Zhao, with just two words from her godson before the battle,

I'm afraid it will also be entered into the history books.

In this case, as a subordinate official and subordinate, what else do you think if you don't flatter me?

"In that case, Yun'er and Yun'er's mother should also come up together!" Mrs. Zhao nodded slightly, but then turned back and shouted to the bottom of the high platform.

Zhao Bao immediately fell into a trance, and all the officials in the county also fell into a trance, because soon they all saw the prefect's wife and the prefect's daughter also getting on the high platform, the latter also holding a raccoon or something like that.

of strange beasts...

By the way, the status of married women these days is very high, and it is normal for them to show up. Even when holding a formal banquet, according to etiquette, the hostess needs to come out specifically to greet the guests. For example, Mrs. Zhao said that she

He wanted to thank the soldiers in person, and then Zhao Bao immediately announced that he would have a feast for the soldiers. This was actually a subtle implementation of this etiquette.

All in all, if Mrs. Zhao, a widow and an elder whose husband had been dead for who knows how many years, comes up, there will naturally be no problem; if Mrs. Zhao comes up, there will be no explanation;

What does it mean for a young lady who has just left the government to suddenly come among so many officials?

Moreover, it seemed that her maiden name was shouted out in front of everyone?!

For a time, many young county officials were very excited, as if they thought of their colleague Gongsun Zan... What a role model he was!

"My son," Mrs. Zhao's next words made these people even more overjoyed. "When you came to Liaoxi from Guangling, you passed by our Qinghe on the way, specifically for Yun'er and Ji, and I brought her here for the purpose.

She is looking for a good family in western Liaoning..."

"Whoever Mother has taken a fancy to, you might as well go back to the official residence and tell me." Although Zhao Bao was a little awakened, he was still a little embarrassed when he saw his daughter standing there holding a cat, her face flushed with shame. "I'll tell you then.

Go and communicate with that person again and ask him to send a matchmaker."

"I have already said it. If this matter is not finalized, I will not be able to live in peace for a day...and this is a beautiful thing, so why should I cover it up?"

"This is what Mother taught you." Zhao Bao was a filial son, and his widowed mother said so. What else could he do besides bowing his head and saying yes?

Seeing that her son had surrendered, Mrs. Zhao said seriously: "Actually, I fell in love with a family on the way here, and I had an idea in my heart at that time. I entered Lulongsai and inquired about this person's background and deeds.

I was even more determined, but I had to delay it because of what happened this time."

"My son will die."

"Listen to me and don't interrupt." Mrs. Zhao said dissatisfied. "But it is a coincidence that I was rescued by this person again. It is also fate... To tell you the truth, the reason why I came to Liucheng

, firstly, of course I want to thank the sergeants who have contributed so much, and secondly, I just don’t want to lose such a good grandson-in-law."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Bao didn't have time to think about it for a while, but instinctively felt that he was a bit out of place.

"Why can't you be anxious?" the old lady asked confidently. "You must know that this person's family is also a high-ranking family, and he is such a hero. If he comes too late, he will be recruited into the court to be an official after making great achievements this time.

What do you think I should do if I am attracted by a certain official from Luoyang? Besides, if the family has a good reputation, they feel that marrying our family at this time would be a bit of a repayment of favor, so they do not want to marry our family.

So what? Therefore, I came to you to finalize this matter quickly, so as to avoid long nights and endless dreams!"

Having said this, how could people around here still not understand? In fact, many young county officials were filled with resentment at this time. Why did the prefect recruit his son-in-law specifically from the Gongsun family?

And Zhao Bao finally came to his senses, but he couldn't help but point to the shop not far away: "Is it this family that Mother said?"

"Is this also Gongsun's property?" Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Very good! His family is indeed as wealthy as the rumors say... Look, how can you miss such a good son-in-law?"

go?"

"My son knows." Zhao Bao replied helplessly. "I'll find someone to talk to him and let his family act as a matchmaker!"

"No need," Mrs. Zhao said domineeringly. "I came here for no other reason than because I just heard in the official residence that his elders were here, so I came up to call you in person... You will take off your official position now."

Please follow me to propose marriage, and we will finalize the matter with me today! Otherwise, your master will feel uneasy!"

Zhao Bao was stunned, and the officials also looked at him sideways... In his age, this was the first time he saw a woman go to the man's home to propose marriage.

"Here!" After a long stalemate, Governor Zhao finally did not dare to disobey his mother, so he handed over his hands and replied as if he had eaten a fly. "Son, I will go change my clothes right now."

Just like that, Governor Zhao and his family walked off the platform, while everyone on the platform looked at each other...

"Our old lady is really a hero among women." After a long time, the other Sima from Liucheng couldn't help but be the first to speak. "Such a vigorous and resolute act is what I was waiting for when I wanted to go to Gongsun's house to sell a good deal.

Even the wind is too late..."

The others all agreed.

On the other hand, the county's top official, Tian Kai, suddenly couldn't help but sigh: "I think back then, Gongsun Bogui and Gongsun Wenqi were both friendly to me in the county, and they were always unscrupulous in getting along with me... But this is just a couple of days ago.

Years have passed, why have I been so successful one after another? When will I be able to stand out?"

The Tian family is also a popular surname in Youzhou, so when everyone heard this, they either burst into laughter or tried to say a few words, but then they dispersed.

On the other side, Gongsun Xun, who had no idea about this, was still talking about some "confidential matters" with his mother in the house... It turned out that after the mother and son decided to pursue the marriage, Gongsun Xun immediately talked about the process.
To be continued...
