Chapter 1077 Change(2/2)
Besides, do you really think the imperial court has endless money to spend?
At the critical moment of reviving the Han Dynasty, we did not want to give up the border areas, but we also did not want to spend more money.
Again, if the imperial court does not have enough materials to support the reclamation in the border areas, then preferential policies must be provided, right?
Otherwise, who will work for you in vain?
Let the local government provide part of the arrow feathers to the border troops, which can be regarded as saving a lot of money.
For this job, the Xinghan Hui who was willing to settle in the border areas was naturally the best choice.
If you can’t even trust the Xinghan Society, who else can you trust?
Do you believe those aristocratic families?
Between a biological son and a bastard, the court still doesn’t know which one to choose?
Besides, the border area is so messy, so just using iron to make some weapons is normal.
As long as it's not making banned weapons.
It cannot be said that weapons should not be banned in the mainland, but should be banned in the border areas, right?
Doesn’t that leave the people in the border areas at their mercy?
This has never been something that a strong man with a strong sense of martial arts would do.
Xu Xun is not yet qualified to participate in the formulation of the national policy of the Han Dynasty.
He was originally worried about how to obtain the iron smelting license from the court.
Now that I heard words from Feng Junhou that might become a subject of imperial discussion, I suddenly came to my senses.
At the same time, I secretly felt ashamed.
My brother has already considered the issue from the perspective of the Han Dynasty's national policy, but he is still just thinking about how to make camp, so ashamed!
With his brother's words, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel confident:
"Brother, what should we do next? Do we want to inform everyone first?"
Feng Junhou smiled, lay back in the chair, and said slowly:
"There's no rush. Don't tell anyone about this matter yet. I want to wait for news from Erlang."
The Erlang mentioned by Feng Junhou is naturally his most loyal younger brother Zhao Erlang.
At the same time, he is also the second person in the Xinghan Association. This person can be said to be very good at handling the word "two".
"Zhao Erlang? He's not in Hanzhong..."
General Zhao passed away half a year ago. At this time, Zhao Erlang has not returned to Guanzhong, indicating that he is most likely observing filial piety.
"In the current national crisis, General Zhao is dedicated to serving the country. How can he make people observe filial piety for too long?"
Feng Junhou sighed first, and then said:
"Erlang sent a letter a month ago, saying that he was going to return to the army, but I asked him to go to Liangzhou first."
"Liangzhou?"
"Yes, Liangzhou."
Feng Junhou nodded:
"Last year we led the army to fight against the Wei thieves at the front, and someone caused some trouble in Liangzhou."
Listening to Feng Junhou's calm tone, Xu Xun's heart suddenly beat a beat faster for no apparent reason.
Feng Junhou sighed:
"This battle has been going on for too long, and you and Hong Lang (Liu Liang) have also left. There are no important figures in the meeting in Liangzhou."
"So the people below did something outrageous."
Xu Xun swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Now his brother can't live without him in Guanzhong. As the second person in the association, Zhao Erlang went to Liangzhou to deal with this matter in person.
As you can imagine, the so-called "some outrageous things" are by no means simple.
Xu Xun didn't ask any more questions and nodded:
"Little brother understands, everything will be subject to brother's arrangements."
He paused and asked again:
"My little brother will be escorting supplies to Jiuyuan soon. I wonder if your brother has any orders?"
"Instructions don't count. I told you about the iron mine and iron smelting workshop in advance, just to let you go back and make some preparations."
Feng Junhou sat up straight, and the smile returned to his face:
"After returning to Jiuyuan, when Huo Shaoxian (i.e. Huo Yi) goes to Jiuyuan to take up a post, don't embarrass others, and hand over what should be handed over."
"Of course, he may also let you serve in the Governor's Mansion. Chang Shi or the Governor's Mansion Guards probably won't be able to escape."
"When the time comes, you can see what your wishes are. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to go back to Guanzhong, you can come back."
When Xu Xun heard this, he was overjoyed and said:
"What's the point of returning to Guanzhong when a man has made great achievements?"
Although he was the staff officer of Liangzhou Army in the past, there are so many staff officers of Liangzhou Army?
Now that you have become a Changshi or a Protector of the Governor's Palace, you have officially entered the ranks of the local governors of the Han Dynasty.
If you are transferred to another place in the future, you will already be qualified to compete for the position of county governor.
If there are people in the court, then the prefect is basically stable.
Someone from the DPRK...
Xu Xun looked at Feng Junhou, his lips almost grinning to his ears:
With the power of his brother, who is an ordinary minister, how many people in the court can be greater than him?
If he is transferred back to the central court instead of being transferred to another place, he will not be able to enter the main hall to hold court meetings.
But at least you can stand on the corridor instead of standing outside in the wind and sun.
Feng Junhou yawned.
Xu Xun understood:
"Brother, please rest first, little brother, please leave."
Seeing Feng Junhou nodding, Xu Xun happily exited.
Compared to Xu Xun who was overjoyed, Zhao Guang, who was far away in Liangzhou, had a gloomy face.
There are a few scars on his face, but although they don't affect his handsome appearance, they add a bit of masculinity to him.
But when his face turned gloomy, these scars seemed to become more ferocious.
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, spare your life! The villain was temporarily blinded by lard, so he agreed to them. It was really not intentional..."
The person kneeling below is a man with scars on his face.
However, this man's scar was much deeper, and the new flesh that had been turned up was in stark contrast to the old flesh, which looked a bit scary.
At this time, this man who looked like a tough man was bursting into tears with a look of regret on his face.
Behind him, there were many people, some of whom had collapsed on the ground, their bodies shaking like chaff.
On both sides of these people were two rows of veterans standing with swords in hand.
Most of the middle and senior management of the Liangzhou Xinghan Hui branch were present.
Zhao Erlang stared at the man below, and after a long time, he said:
"Brother has told me before that some of us may not be afraid of the thieves' swords and arrows made of fine iron, but they may not be able to block the sugar-coated swords and arrows."
"I originally couldn't figure out what this meant, but now that I see your appearance, I finally understand your brother's good intentions."
"Captain You, in the battle at Xiaoguan, when you retreated to cover your comrades, you were hit by seven arrows. All seven arrows were in your chest, none of them were behind your back, but you never took a step back."
"I remember that stab in your face very clearly. It was the thieves who stabbed you in the face with a halberd."
Having said this, Zhao Guang stood up and kicked him bitterly, knocking him to the ground:
"In recognition of your past achievements, we have specially arranged a good position for you in the association. You will get dividends in one year that others may not be able to get in ten years."
"My mother-in-law, is your family short of food or clothing?"
The more Zhao Guang talked, the more excited he became, "If you don't tell me straight away, which brother will bleed and shed tears in this meeting?"
"It's only been a few years? It's only been a few years! You've become like this!"
"Do you know how difficult it is for you to make it difficult for your brother this time? Do you know how many thoughts the court has about the meeting because of this matter?"
Captain You huddled on the ground, not sure whether it was because he was in pain or because he was afraid to move.
He just shed tears and murmured in his mouth:
Chapter completed!
