A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 137
Zhou Shaofan, Duke of Yichun County, was named Xiaofan.

The current Youtunwei General, and the Prince Youwei Leader, is now in charge of the Youtunying Flying Cavalry. He is also Li Shimin's confidant.

Huaiyu went with Xu Luoren to meet this man, and on the way he didn't forget to thank Xu Luoren for the horse he sent earlier.

"I like your pipa very much," Xu Luoren was very polite to him, and even took the initiative to get close to him. "Get off duty in a while, come to my place for a drink or two, I have recently bought a few good horses, take a look."

Zhou Shaofan is quite young, less than forty, and looks very refined.

Dressed in a military robe, but very temperamental.

"sit."

At such an age, he is already in a high position, holding an important position, and he is the commander of the third-rank imperial army.He was looking at Zhou Shaofan, but the other party was also looking at him.

A baron is not uncommon in his eyes, but it is very unusual for the other party to win the favor and trust of the prince in less than a hundred days.

He has been working under the prince since Wu Dechu.

Most of these two hundred soldiers were descendants of Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army, and many of them had never even seen blood on the battlefield. Although they were older than Huaiyu, they were all in awe of Huaiyu's achievements and fame.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, if the emperor wanted to kill the feudal king, he didn't need to send troops. All he needed was a signature, and the feudal king was powerless to resist.

Therefore, these codes are called handsome.

Huaiyu simply said a few words, even if he inspected his team.

Huaiyu was a legendary figure who defeated the general and captured the flag on the Longyou battlefield. He was still wearing the scarlet robe official uniform of the morning court attendant. He was refined and refined, but none of the two hundred Shenji Battalion Qianqi dared to be presumptuous.

From the nicknames, it can be heard that the Xu family brothers are a bit stupefied. People in Guanzhong call them Lianwa and Guwa.

It is said that Li Shimin often slept with Zhou Shaofan, and even betrothed to him. Zhou Shaofan also falsely voted for Li Jiancheng for Li Shimin, lurking in the East Palace to lead the imperial army.

"The head of the North Gate usually takes one day off and two off. Erlang should work harder. Beimen is on duty for one day, Qu Jiang is on duty for one day, and then one day off. How about two days off and one day off?"

Salt pickles are given separately.

The welfare subsidies of the officers of Shenjifang, as well as office paper and pen funds, public kitchen and canteen, etc., all have to use this capital to lend and collect interest for self-management.

The [-] capital he had seized for Sanyuan County before has not been returned, and he has to pay interest.

In Qin Wang's mansion, Zhou Xiaofan was not only Li Shimin's confidant, but also he followed Gao Shilian to the Tang Dynasty at first, and later he was appreciated by Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong were from the same city in Licheng County.

"The fifth group of Qianqi will come, and they will be divided into two battalions. One group will guard the north gate, and the other group will be stationed at Qujiang."

Zhou Shaofan gave him four Fan Shangfu soldiers to fight, and Huaiyu simply replaced them with Xu Jizu and the four from the same village. Zhou Shaofan readily agreed to this small request. There are already three in the Qianqi Battalion. Another pockmarked Zhao Da was transferred from the flying rider.

The two battalions consisted of 200 people, very young and strong. Although they were not many, they did have an unusual aura towards that station.

Zhou Shaofan mentioned Qin Qiong with a smile.

"Beef stew tonight."

The camps used to be Li Yuan's emperor Yuancong, but now some have been selected and replaced. Generally, the size of 3 people is maintained, and the fifth division is on duty. 6000 people are stationed at the north gate.

Having said that, Huaiyu immediately understood that the other party was directly confessing to him, that he was one of his own.

However, by the time of the Sui Dynasty, the Dianzhu were no longer as powerful as they used to be.

"Well, one day off every ten days, one day off every nine days."

The second-pole Xu Jizu was very excited along the way, talking to Huaiyi non-stop. They used to be close friends in the same village of about the same age, but now Huaiyi is a sixth-rank military officer, but he is still a big soldier. The other three young people from the same village also I envy their brothers endlessly.

Fortunately, it is the forbidden army after all, so it can't be so shabby.

Tunying selected 1000 people, named Qianqi.

Although his father is now in power, Yuchi Baolin is very polite to Huaiyu, her boss, and not domineering, but Niu Jianwu is much more cordial.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not paid, and only when Fanshang was on duty, the court provided board and lodging, and there was still no payment.

Fanshang imperial army, one stone of millet a month, is more than one liter a day more than the daily ration of Dingkou, an official servant and maidservant.This ration is enough to eat, and can meet the training and on-duty intensity of the training.

Huaiyu's job is the town general of Longyou Hospital, and the commander of the North Gate is to guard the Xuanwu Gate for a long time.Now the specific arrangement in the Forbidden Army is to let him escort the Shenji Battalion.

Er Leng Zi's elder brother also has a nickname, but not Da Leng, Han Han or something, but Er Gan Zi. As for the origin of the name, he inherited it from his father.

When leaving the Beimen camp, Huaiyu was not only followed by the four young servants who had come, but also had two more guards from the same village.

"Is there a weekly holiday?"

His father was General Zuowuwei and Qiao Guogong of the Sui Dynasty, his grandfather was General Cheqi of Chen Dynasty and Duke of Wuchang County, and his great-grandfather was General Cheqi of Nanliang and Duke of Liangcheng County.

Later Xu Zhongyi joined the army and became Yuan Cong's forbidden army, and even got the post of military officer, so everyone stopped calling him two hundred and five and two poles, but instead called his son two poles and two fools.

"Duke Yi often mentions you,"

He has a cold and handsome appearance, and is stubborn by nature, but he believes in lecture notes, hates evil like hatred, and is fearless.

The officers do not take turns, but are on duty for a long time, with one day off and two days off.

In this case, every ten days and ten days, he will be on duty for three days on both sides, and then he can take four days off, which is fine.

The father of the two brothers, Xu Zhongyi, worked as an official in Chang'an for a period of time before he joined the imperial army in Yuan Dynasty. His job was that when the governor of Yongzhou in Chang'an was patrolling the streets, he and another person were responsible for cleaning up passers-by with a long pole. He said Wubai'.

Duan Lun gave Shenjifang 75 yuan as the company's capital, and now Zhou Shaofan gave him another 85 yuan for Shenjiying, and [-] yuan was used to lend and collect interest. This is also a very troublesome matter.

"You have never eaten Erlang braised in soy sauce. When we were in Longyou, we ate Erlang's braised horse meat. It was a must. Especially when the horse meat was made into cakes and sprinkled with sesame seeds, the outer layer was hard and crispy, and the inner layer was delicious. The horse meat is tender and juicy, it's absolutely delicious after one bite." Cheng Chumo was drooling as he spoke.

He said that he was only 23 years old, but Huaiyu felt that he was more than 32 years old. He said that he was Yu Chigong's brother, so he believed it more.

Zhou Shaofan was born in the Qi Wang Dian of the Sui Dynasty. This official position has been a very interesting official position since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The rank is very low, but the power is extremely heavy. The imperial court sent a small Dian to the vassals in the town, but they were all from the emperor’s close servants. , but can control the vassals and governors.

Xu Erlianzi was on the Longyou battlefield, with several arrows stuck in his body, he could still take off his pants and piss at the enemy soldiers in front of the battle, even though he was covered in blood, he could still sing a sour song in the camp of sick children.

He complained to Zhou Shaofan, saying that now that he lives in Huaiyuanfang in the west of the city, he will go to the East Palace for early court before dawn, and if he runs at both ends of the North Gate and Qujiang, he will be at a loss.

"Duke Yi is still young and has a good foundation."

He was also given four soldiers from the Panshang government to act as his bodyguards. This was different from the guards who had been drawn out before. It is specially for the military officers of the sect, and they are transferred from Fanshang's government soldiers and guards.

Because everyone hates them every time they yell or even hit someone with a bamboo pole. They call them two poles, and some call them five hundred. The two made up five hundred.

There will be no additional withdrawal of money from above.

Qin Qiong is Zhou Shaofan's old boss and also his current boss, because Qin Qiong is now the general of the left guard and inspector of the Beimen camp, and the commander of the North Gate Forbidden Army is Qin Qiong.

Wu Huaiyu is Qin Qiong's adoptive son. He and Qin Qiong are both subordinates and subordinates, and they are also in the same small circle.

It is good that there are so many fellow villagers in Shenji Camp.

For example, Qin Qiong is the general of the left guard, who inspects the school and camps.Zhou Shaofan was the general of Youtunwei, who commanded the Youtun camp at the north gate.

Nominally attached to the Left and Right Tunwei, but in fact the emperor himself leads the camp, and the officers in the Tunying are all part-time commanders selected from the various guards.

So there is a sum of money from the company, and the rent of the company’s land, which is used as the money of the minister. In addition to office expenses, it is also used for meals in the public kitchen and canteen, and the rest is used as welfare subsidies for the generals and schools.

Qianqi is still affiliated with Tunying Flying Cavalry.

After chatting about family life, Zhou Shaofan got to the point, "Your Highness will tell you to transfer flying cavalry from the camp to form the Shenji Battalion, with a tentative quota of one thousand and a number of thousand cavalry."

Transferred to the capital to do the job of escorting a thousand riders, but the salary is still the same as that of the hospital town general, and there is no additional job field or salary.

Among the 200 thousand riders this time, there are three Longqiao Fortresses. In addition to Xu Jizu, the eldest brother of Xu Erlian, there are also Zhao Changsheng and Zhu Zihe, who are about the same age as Huaiyi.

But everyone is still as close as ever, and has not become unfamiliar because of this. In the words of the second pole, they are still young and have many opportunities to make contributions. Don't worry, they will make their mark sooner or later.

Baiqi is also selected from the flying cavalry, but the number is smaller. Their duties are to serve Li Shimin, and their clothes are embroidered with wild horses and saddles with tiger and leopard patterns.

The Forbidden Army is still nominally subordinate to the Tunwei, and the generals of the Forbidden Army are all generals of the Weifu.

Li Shimin personally selected the captains of the left and right camps of Shenji, namely Yuchi Baolin, the eldest son of Yuchigong, and Niu Jianwu, the son of Niu Jinda.

His father is now very red and purple, and he has just been conferred the title of Marquis of Youwu, Chief General of the Jingzhou Road Marching Army.

Yuchi Baolin worked as a bodyguard in the Three Guards before, and her father was just a deputy guard from the fourth rank in the Prince Qin's Mansion. Although he was good at fighting, he didn't even have a baron, and he didn't have a honor in the Zhu Kingdom. Nothing.

Huaiyu looked at the eight young and strong, and felt that it would not be easy to feed them. Now that food prices are so expensive, raising eight followers is a lot of pressure.

The Zhou family in Runan is also a famous family.

Huaiyu's official military rank is Qianqishi, not General Qianqi or Lieutenant, but Qianqishi or Shenji Yingshi, which means that this is just an errand.

The second-pole Xu Jizu is now only a leading soldier of the Forbidden Army, not even the captain, so Huaiyu asked him to follow her as a personal soldier, which also gave him the opportunity to be trained and promoted.

Cheng Chumo and Wu Huaiyi also went back to the west of the city together, and they each brought four warriors, because they were military officers and had no other part-time job, so they didn't have other defense servants, which made them a little envious of Huaiyu, who had multiple jobs , even this entourage has a few more forceful service.

Prince Kuzhen, who is similar to Prince Qianniu, is a son of a noble and honorable person, and serves as a personal servant and guard.

Niu Jianwu is no stranger to him.

Huaiyu understood that Qianqi was divided into five shifts to go to Beijing on duty in turn, maintaining a scale of 200 people in Beijing, with 100 people in each of the two shifts, which is a bit small.

Yuchi Baolin is in charge of Beiying, which is the garrison of the North Gate.Niu Jianwu took a hundred riders to Qujiang to station, and was responsible for protecting Shenjifang.

There is actually someone in Qianqi who knows him, it turns out that he is the elder brother Xu Erlian, who is also a child of the forbidden army of Longqiao Fort, they have fifty households of the forbidden army in Longqiao Fort, and every time exactly ten people enter the capital to stay in the guard.

Zhou Shaofan started his family with the code of Sui and Qi Wang Yang Hao, and was later implicated by Yang Hao. He was demoted to Jiaozhi with Gao Shilian and became a Sicangzuo. The library really starts.

Zhou Shaofan and Gao Shilian joined the Tang Dynasty from cross-toe, and in the palace of Prince Qin, they were appreciated by Fang Xuanling and strongly recommended by him, and soon became Li Shimin's confidants.

Niu Jianwu also went to eat beef today, still yelling that the beef should be roasted.

Zhou Shaofan came from a famous family, but he also earned the title of county duke himself.

When the Tang Dynasty was an official, why did he have to engage in business operations? How could the government office and the army still operate and lend money!
In the blink of an eye it was dusk, Huaiyu had to rush to Huaiyuan square, otherwise the gate of this square would be locked and he would not be able to return home.

The hidden benefits are still good.

"Thousand riders have already been selected, and the 200 people on duty on the fan are directly transferred from the forbidden army on the current fan,"

They were both surprised and happy that Huai Yu became their new boss.

Zhou Shaofan and Xu Luoren took them to see the selected two hundred thousand horses.

The four generations of grandparents and grandchildren served in four dynasties, all of whom were generals and dukes.

They ride thousands of times, and also give leopard-print robes and saddles.

In the end, Zhou Shaofan also gave 15 yuan to Huaiyu Shenjiying as food profit capital, which was drawn according to the official money standard of the Central Command Army.

That Yuchi Baolin was just like the one printed on his father's mold, thick as a bear, with a face as black as coal, and full of beards.

"Thanks to your elixir, Lord Yi is now in good health. He is in command of Xianyang and guarding the third bridge."

"This braised beef is even better."

Niu Jianwu laughed and said, "If it's really delicious in a while, the cows on my farm will definitely fight and kill one or two in a few days, and then go to my house to eat beef."

"One of my cattle may fall to death." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

Huaiyu looked at these guys and said helplessly: "The cow is a good helper in plowing the fields, there is no need to be greedy for it, roast chicken and goose are equally delicious, even a rabbit and a bastard will do. .”
