Wang Xiaoli held down the horse strand and told Jie Qian: "This place is ten miles away from the city, so the army of Zhidao doesn't have to send it for a long time. In this battle, most of the wealth seized from the Jin army was taken away by me, so the army of Zhidao should not be resentful. In extraordinary times,

There is really a shortage of money in our army, and no one can do it.”

Jie Qian said sincerely: "This battle depends entirely on defense, and I almost never fought in the city. After winning, the defense also gave me a lot of cloth and other good things, which is extremely rare. The great kind of defense, remember it in my heart, and then put it in my arms.

Report!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said nothing, waving goodbye to Jie Qian. It is very important to maintain a good relationship with these people around him, which is of great benefit to the future. If you want to develop your power, peace is very important.

When I returned to Xiangyang, it was already mid-April and the weather became hotter. The city was bustling and bustling. Department stores gathered here, and merchants came to do business. Xiangyang has become a nearby central city.

Chen Qiudao took the officials to the outside of the city early to welcome Wang Xiaoli back to the city.

After entering the yamen, everyone sat down. Wang Xiaoliu said: "I have been in Jingmen these days, and I don't know what major things are in the world?"

Chen Qiudao said: "Han Taiwei blocked Wushu's army in Huang Tiandang for dozens of days. The world is talking about it. This time, I am afraid that it will be easy for the Jin army to go south and return north. The defense is in Jingmen, Shengbalisu, one east and one east

West, there were two big wins!"

Wang Xiaolie was curious: "I heard that Han Taiwei's troops were less than 10,000, so it was rare to be able to block the Jin army. I wonder if I have won?"

Chen Qiudao said: "I got the official document the day before yesterday, and the two armies were still fighting fiercely. However, the Jin army's waterway back north was blocked, so it was not that easy to leave."

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "What I mean is that the Jin army fought against big countries with small countries, regardless of whether they were concerned, and drove straight forward, traveling thousands of miles, so how could they go smoothly? With the lessons of failure this year, I think I dare not cross the river easily."

Chen Qiudao repeatedly said yes, and was extremely excited.

Since the Jingkang Incident, the Song army has been defeated in a row in a row in several years, and the morale of the Song Dynasty was greatly affected. At the beginning of this year, Wang Xiao hunted and helped Shaanxi Province, and fought in Jingmen in April, winning two consecutive games, greatly boosting morale. It was Wang

Xiaoliu Shanzhou won, and Chen Qiudao recognized him. He came to Xiangyang and officially served as deputy envoy of the transfer of Jingxi Road. Chen Qiudao's official position was still before Wang Xiaoliu became the commander of Jingxi Road. He did not take office until now. It can be seen that

He originally distrusts Wang Xiaoli. As a general, victory can give people confidence.

After asking about some recent chores in Xiangyang, Wang Xiaoliu said: "After Balisu's army crossed the river, he moved to Jiangxi, Hunan Road, broke through more than ten states, and plundered countless wealth. This victory was really the wealth he received.

Many, except for a small part of them, were transported back to Xiangyang Prefecture by me. With this money, many things can be done."

Chen Qiu breathed out: "That's good. To be honest, Xiangyang is now lively, and the commercial tax collected has exceeded that before Jingkang. It's just that in rural defense, only three dou of grain is collected per acre of land, and the government's taxes are less

Many are extremely difficult. Now with money, many things can be done.”

Wang Xiaoli said: "We have to discuss this matter for a long time. We will discuss it together in a few days, so there is no need to worry. By the way, there are 20,000 porters plundered by the Jin army, and they were taken back to Xiangyang by Senator Chen and placed around. I heard that Suizhou is idle.

Tian Shangduo was settled in Zaoyang and Tangcheng County."

At this time, the officials in Suizhou and Yingzhou had returned to Beijing, and the place was under Wang Xiaohun. The places under Wang Xiaohun were already almost the same as the administrative Southwest Road in Jingxi. Among the local forces, the territory was very large.

Chen Qiudao was born as a Jinshi and was arrogant. After arriving in Xiangyang these days, he saw the prosperity of Xiangyang and realized that Wang Xiaoli had succeeded in local governance. He was very impressed and managed the local area with all his heart. And unlike Wang Ruohai,

Don't oppose Wang Xiaoli's policy.

After talking about government affairs, Wang Xiaoli went to his residence to rest. During the battle between Jingmen, he was nervous every day and was really tired.

Chen Yuyi entered the city, went to the market to buy a cramped bream, two kilograms of eel, and another three kilograms of meat, and made a large gourd wine, and happily carried it home. Today is different from the past, around you

There were two personal soldiers holding things for him.

After entering the door, the residence next to the personal soldiers rested. Chen Yuyi carried wine and meat and swayed into the yard.

Dalang was just studying, and he was playing with cats in the yard alone. Seeing Chen Yuyi coming in with wine, fish and meat, he couldn't help but clapping his hands: "Today is a good day, and wine and meat are in his mouth again!"

Chen Yuyi cursed: "You are a foodie! Where is your mother? Let him deal with it earlier."

Dalang said: "In recent days, my mother has to raise silkworms and go with her neighbors to pick mulberry trees. I heard from them that they would have to go back before they could set the sun."

Chen Yuyi put down his things and sat down on the chair next to him. He said, "I have worked hard for you in the past two years. From now on, you don't have to work so hard. You can stay at home with peace of mind. Mom takes care of the housework, you can study with peace of mind and don't have to work hard anymore.

”

Dalang smiled and said, "Dad said so, is he promoted? If you increase your salary, your mother will naturally not have to work hard."

Chen Yuyi smiled and said, "How have you been studying recently? Come on, I'll take the test."

Dalang said: "I recently borrowed a book called "Records of the Grand Historian" and I am reading it. But Dad, I heard everyone say that Xiangyang is different from other places, and has built many schools. Once you enter it, you can learn it.

There are many abilities, it is not difficult to find a life job."

Chen Yuyi said: "What do you know about your child's family? Those are schools that people can go to. After studying, you can come out to find a job. Our family is different. You have to study classics and history, and you will be admitted to the Jinshi in the future and become an official! Don't think

Those messy things, just read with peace of mind!”

Dalang curled his lips and didn't say anything.

At this moment, I heard the voice of my wife outside the door and the neighbor's wife. Soon, my wife came in with a basket filled with mulberry leaves.

Seeing Chen Yuyi sitting there, his wife said, "The official is back? This time I went there, but I heard someone say that you won a great victory in Jingmen, and the Jin army lost their armor and fled eastward.

.”

Chen Yuyi nodded: "Yes, this time it is much more prestigious than the beginning of the year when aiding Shaanxi. In Shanzhou, Lou Su, tens of thousands of soldiers, more than ours. If you are not careful, you may suffer a defeat. Jingmen is different, Jin

There are only tens of thousands of troops, and if they can't be defeated on the battlefield, they can only escape."

His wife said, "It's said that these ten thousand people crossed the river from Huangzhou and broke dozens of states, and they were unstoppable. You Jingmen won, but you made great contributions to the country! Just now walking on the street, many people bought wine.

Buy meat and celebrate it.”

Chen Yuyi said: "Yes, since Jingkang, this battle has been fought happily! When I came back, I bought wine and meat. You can clean up and we will celebrate tonight. Also, my salary has increased this time.

You don't have to work hard in the future."

"How much has it increased?" My wife's eyes lit up when she heard about the increase in money.

Chen Yuyi said: "From now on, I am like the other generals, and I am fifty-year-old. Our family of four is full of wine and meat every day, and these are enough. In the future, you can live a peaceful life at home, and you don't have to

Work hard.”

January 50 guan is definitely a life of a superior person in this era. My wife stood there and calculated how much things she could buy in 50 guan, but she couldn't calculate it for a while. She shook her head and said, "Even if it's going to rise."

Money should be diligent. In the past one or two years, many people have been raising silkworms. When I have nothing to do, I also follow others to pick mulberry leaves and raise silkworms to weave them.”

Chen Yuyi said: "In the past, when we raised silkworms at home, we always had a maid. If we were just alone, how could we be busy? Don't do it anymore. If you are fifty cents a month, why can't you buy silk silk? Thank you for your hard work for so many years, you

It's time to take a break."

The wife smiled and didn't say anything. She put the picked mulberry leaves in the place where the silkworms were raised and placed, and then she came to see the wine and meat brought back by Chen Yuyi.

The head-reducing bream is a specialty in this area. My wife has learned it a long time ago. Just looking at the eels I bought, it was a bit difficult to say: "When I was in Luoyang, there were eels around. I just didn't eat them, but I didn't know how to make them."

Chen Yuyi said: "A few days ago, in Jingmen, the Jiezhijun invited a drink. There was a plate of dragon eel, which was very delicious. I asked how to cook, you learned to do it. Defense doesn't like officials hiring people, you have to learn a few more dishes.

You can eat well at home.”

In addition to weaving cloth, women in this era also had to know how to cook. Of course, ordinary wealthy families hired female envoys at home, and the hostess could do as long as they could command. My wife was born in a wealthy family and she didn't cook and cook in person before.

Chen Yuyi was demoted to Chenliu for drinking, and his life was so hard that he learned to go to the kitchen. After arriving in Xiangyang, Chen Yuyi gradually got used to this kind of life and kept urging his wife to learn new dishes.

His wife didn't argue with Chen Yuyi. She was a woman who couldn't do the bloody job of killing eels. She called Guo Dalang and asked him to kill eels with Erlang. She was there to deal with the fish and prepare to stir-fry the meat.

Chen Yuyi watched from the side, the whole family was busy, but he was leisurely.

This kind of fireworks has a strange magic that makes people feel the warmth of their homes. Chen Yuyi was born in a family of officials, was smart since he was a child, and was a young Jinshi. If the Jin soldiers had not gone south, they would have never experienced this kind of life. In recent years, after
