I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 216 Showing favor! Starting a business is hard! The road is full of blue rays!

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

The bright moon hangs high.

On this first full moon night in the 60th year of Taikang, Han Shao spent it in the military camp.

The so-called cohesion of military morale sometimes lies in the accumulation bit by bit in daily life.

The accumulation of sand becomes soil, and the accumulation of rocks becomes mountains.

As time goes by, there will be no hesitation at critical moments.

……

Han Shao returned from the military camp still smelling of alcohol.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the full moon above his head, and suddenly sighed.

"Zhenliaocheng must be very lively today."

Lu Yan behind him joked.

"Does the Marquis miss the two ladies?"

Han Shao glanced back at him and did not deny it.

"really."

In fact, with his current level of cultivation, the distance from Champion City to Zhenliao City wouldn't take long.

It’s just that Han Shao didn’t do this.

Because a bowl of water is really uneven.

Just who to see first after returning is a headache.

A little carelessness can lead to resentment from one party.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to do nothing and just miss it from afar.

Well, pretty good.

Han Shao laughed in his heart and suddenly asked Lu Yan.

"By the way, you have been with me for so long. I still don't know how old you are?"

Faced with Han Shao's sudden question, Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly.

"Back to the Marquis, Yan is twenty-seven years old."

Turns out to be twenty-seven?

Han Shao glanced at Lu Yan strangely.

Perhaps it was because of his successful practice, but this guy didn't look like he was nearly 20 years old at all. Although his handsome face was not as good as that of Han, he was still very outstanding.

After thinking about it, Han Shao said.

"I remember that you are not married yet, right? Do you have a woman you like?"

When it comes to matters between men and women, Lu Yan, a dignified husband, rarely blushes.

"Back to the Marquis, no."

Han Shao smiled when he saw his coy look.

"Establishing a career and starting a family is a major event in life, so you should be prepared for it."

Han Shao said this sincerely.

Personally, Lu Yan is someone close to him, so he should care about him a little bit.

Yu Gong.

Only those who have constant wealth can have perseverance.

Such a close person who has a family and a career is the way to go in the long run.

Only then can you truly feel at ease.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Lu Yan felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis! Mr. Hou is so kind that I can never repay you in this life."

When Han Shao heard this, he laughed and cursed.

"Okay, no need to talk about these nonsense, I have long been tired of hearing it."

"You are Paoze who has followed me from birth to death. Although you are called the main minister, in fact, I have always regarded you as a brother. Why should you be so reserved in front of me?"

As Han Shao said this, he saw Lu Yan panicked and patted him heavily on the shoulder, blocking what he wanted to say.

"If you like a girl from a certain family in the future, tell me and I will make the decision for you."

Lu Yan saw the concern on Han Shao's face, his heart surged, and he hurriedly responded.

"Here!"

When Han Shao saw this, he nodded slightly and walked towards the back office.

After entering the Houya, Lu Yan and other personal guards stopped there.

Just like he had stayed outside the camp in the army before, he stayed outside the Hou Yamen.

However, Bank of China has no such taboo.

Zhong Xinggu, who had been waiting in the back office early, saw Han Shao coming back and came forward to greet him.

"Master Hou."

Han Shao nodded and kept walking.

After entering the study, he stretched out his hand and said.

"Bring it here."

BOC Gu bowed forward and handed over today's report.

Han Shao took the report and glanced at it.

Soon a smile appeared on his face and he praised.

"Li He is good. He did not disappoint me."

When he first arrived in the divine capital, he recruited five people for him, which was an unexpected surprise.

Youzhou is bitterly cold and the writing style is not strong.

There are quite a few brave warriors who can kill enemies in battle just by mentioning a knife.

But when it comes to writing and handling government affairs, there are far fewer people.

These people were either from local wealthy families or had sect backgrounds, and Han Shao really didn't want to use them.

Since these five people have innocent backgrounds, they can be used with confidence.

It can be regarded as a solution to the current urgent need.

Seeing that Han Shao was in a good mood, Zhong Xinggu's expression relaxed a little and he smiled flatteringly.

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, for acquiring this talented person."

Talent?

That's right.

Being able to serve as an official in a place like the Divine Capital, even if it is just a minor official.

Thinking about it, his ability will not be bad.

Han Shao smiled and looked at Zhongxing Gudao.

"By the way, it's a festival today and everyone has a reward. Is there anything you want?"

want?

A hint of confusion flashed across Bank of China's face with a flattering smile.

For a moment, I really didn't know what I wanted.

When Han Shao saw this, he sighed in his heart.

BOC believes that this guy has very low desires.

Don't like money, don't like fame.

Without those two ounces of meat down there, beauty is naturally not a consideration.

Besides revenge...

After thinking about it, Han Shao said.

"Let's do this. There are a lot of empty houses in the city. You choose a big one."

"I will go back and ask the Helian tribe to send some women and slaves."

"When the time comes, you can pick some people to take care of you."

Helianbu is outside the Champion City, and some methods are necessary to keep it under control.

Recruiting women and slaves is also one of the methods.

It's a pity that He Lian Zhang has no daughter, otherwise, Han Shao wouldn't be able to hold his nose and fill her in the inner house.

When Zhong Xinggu heard what Han Shao said, his heart suddenly warmed up.

He quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Old slave thanks Mr. Hou for his great kindness."

Han Shao waved his hand and helped him up without dwelling on this issue.

After giving the favor smoothly, he asked about other things.

"By the way, when will the ten thousand households and residents of this Marquis arrive?"

Bank of China stood up and responded.

"It will take a while, but we have already passed Zhuojun. I think we should arrive in another ten days."

Han Shao nodded, but he was not impatient.

Migrating people and bringing up their families has always been an extremely cumbersome matter.

Zhong Xinggu said, looking at Han Shao carefully.

"I heard that the people on the road were complaining a lot."

At this point, Han Shao was also helpless.

At that time, people valued their country.

The imperial court ordered them to stay away from their homeland.

What came here was Champion City, the farthest border town adjacent to the grassland.

If you are not careful, you will repeat the tragedy of last year.

What's the difference between this and distribution?

Han Shao sighed and said.

"It's normal to have complaints."

"During the migration process, you need to be watched a little bit, and don't be harsh on the food you eat on the road."

"Let's not let any abuse happen!"

Historically, during the migration of people, there has been no small amount of 'loss'.

One out of ten losses is considered small.

If he is not acclimatized, Han Shao can still accept it.

But if it was man-made, Han Shao couldn't bear it.

After saying that, Han Shao looked at Zhong Xinggu with a sullen face and said with a bit of murderous intent.

"Go and check for me."

"If something evil happens during this process, no matter who it is, kill him!"

After hearing Han Shao's murderous words, Bank of China did not dare to neglect and hurriedly responded.

"Here."

"Old slave, I will send some more people later."

Fortunately, BOC is not idle these days.

He had just intimidated and accepted the surrender of several small sects in the surrounding area.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower.

Seeing Zhong Xinggu's response, Han Shao's expression softened slightly.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was quite difficult for Bank of China Gu, and then he said.

"Let's do this. Tomorrow you select some of your confidants, and I will take you out for a trip."

What are you going out for?

Hunting, of course.

The six doors are the claws of the eagle and the dog.

How can you show your authority when your minions are at a disadvantage?

Hearing Han Shao's words, Zhongxing Gu's spirit was shaken, and he suddenly smiled and said.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Han Shao waved his hand, and then thought of the more than two thousand outer disciples of the Beigu Sect who were used as prisoners.

He remembered that those prisoners were sent over by Dingyang County a few days ago.

Recently, he has been used as hard labor to repair the incomplete city wall. 'Perhaps after these people's temperament is worn down, some more people can be added to the six doors...'

These people have a strong aura of sect and martial arts.

If you join the army, it will corrupt the atmosphere of the army.

It's quite suitable to put it in six doors.

If you go back and cultivate it, you can just fight fire with fire and use it to deal with other sects.

Thinking of this, Han Shao firmly believed in Zhongxing.

"You should also pay attention to those two thousand criminal prisoners. I will say hello to Ding Sheng later. If there is anyone suitable for you, you can directly ask him for someone."

Zhong Xinggu nodded again.

After saying this, Han Shao sent Zhong Xinggu away.

Han Shao, who was alone in the simple and rustic study, frowned slightly.

If you don’t do anything, you still don’t feel like you have too many things to do.

Once I started doing things, I realized that everything was so complicated that it was a mess.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Calculating, it was almost time, and the beacon fort garrison who had withdrawn from the grassland should have arrived.

The next step is to set up a city defense camp.

Just who would be the main general made Han Shao hesitate for a long time.

After thinking about it, Han Shao decided to recruit one of the old pawns who had followed him through life and death.

As for the candidates...

Han Shao tapped his fingers on the desk for a while, and finally circled a name on the paper.

[Jiang Hu].

When it comes to trust, apart from Jiang Hu, there are probably few people in this world that Han Shao can truly trust completely.

Before that, Han Shao wanted him to disarm and return to his fields and enjoy peace and happiness.

It's a pity that Jiang Hu has always been unwilling.

He must use his old bones as a stepping stone for Han Shao to win Qingyun.

Han Shao was both distressed and helpless.

Now we just take this opportunity to remove him from the front line of the battlefield where life and death are at stake.

In addition, Jiang Hu's military position can be promoted to a higher level.

As for whether Jiang Hu was qualified for this position, Han Shao thought about it and circled it on the paper.

Let Liu Yue, the commander of Dingfeng Castle, be Jiang Hu's deputy.

Han Shao could tell that Liu Yue, although a bit indecisive in temperament, was not bad either as a person or in terms of ability.

"This guy named Liu, let him use it first and see if it works. If it doesn't work, then withdraw." '

After making this decision, Han Shao took a long breath and put this aside for the time being.

Thinking about it over and over again, trying to convince Jiang Hu, the stubborn old man, was also an extremely headache.

Thinking of this, Han Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Apart from women, Jiang Hu is probably the only person in the world who can be treated so carefully by Han.

Somewhat depressed, I put down my pen and paper and walked out of the study.

Han Shao stood still in front of the study door for a while, then raised his head again to look at the bright moon above his head.

The moonlight shines down.

The black Chehou brocade clothes on his body seemed to be illuminated by a layer of pure white brilliance.

This year's climate, due to the accident deep in the grassland, is infinitely milder than before.

It is expected that the snow on the way north will also melt earlier.

After the snow melts, the trade route should be open.

The big families and sects could bow to him so easily before, presumably because of this factor.

But now that they had bowed their heads, Han Shao had no intention of continuing to entangle with them for the time being.

After all, the previous attempt to completely monopolize the entire trade route was a helpless choice between the two parties who completely broke up with each other.

Maintaining a superficial peace like this now is what Han Shao really wants.

"Bring Temulun to see me tomorrow afternoon."

For this barbarian merchant who even dared to sell to himself, Han Shao had let him go for so long, and now it was time to put it to use.

I just hope he doesn't let himself down.

After hearing Han Shao's instructions, Lu Yan, who was guarding outside the back office, respectfully accepted the order.

"Here."

Han Shao didn't respond and finally turned around and walked towards his bed.

Seeing this, the maid on the side quickly lit the gauze lamp and lowered her head to guide Han Shao.

On the way to bed.

Han Shao glanced at the graceful figure of the girl in front of him and suddenly smiled.

"I remember your name is Chan'er?"

Hearing this, Yun Chan trembled slightly.

Even with the gauze lamp in his hand, the firelight swayed slightly.

She didn't expect that the Marquis would still remember her name.

He suppressed the shyness and nervousness in his heart and replied calmly.

"Back to the Marquis, my maid is none other than Chan'er."

Han Shao saw this and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."

It was okay not to say this, but Yun Chan became even more nervous when she said it.

He even suddenly remembered some unspeakable scenes in his dream.

Yun Chan vaguely remembered that the Marquis in the dream had a habit of 'eating people'.

After thinking about it for a lifetime, I thought about how I had just peeked at Mr. Hou's figure standing under the moonlight, and there seemed to be something sacred in his handsome face.

Yunchan's legs felt a little soft for some reason.

"My maid understands."

When Yun Chan said this, she felt her face turning red.

Fortunately, with the cover of night, it shouldn't be visible.

Thinking like this, Yun Chan gradually felt a little calmer.

It's just that she still underestimated the keen insight of a man who was about to ascend to the sixth realm of immortality.

Han Shao didn't expect that the maid couldn't help teasing him, and he suddenly lost interest.

To be honest, this maid named Yun Chan can be said to stand out among the other maids in the mansion in terms of appearance alone.

It's just that it's a little young and hasn't bloomed yet.

It's a little less flavorful.

It's a pity that with Yu Xuanji here, Han Shao is not very interested in being that dragonfly [that has already been standing on top] for the time being.

He just wondered how Gongsun Xinyi would put such a woman beside him.

Could it be that they are digging a hole for Naigong?

You must know that these female waitresses are slaves, and their masters can take and take away from them.

Han Shao was moved in his heart, so he spoke to test the situation.

"Who did you serve in the general's mansion before you entered the mansion?"

Hearing Han Shao's words, Yun Chan seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly explained in a panic.

"Back to the Marquis, my servant has never served anyone else before..."

As he spoke, his face turned red and he whispered.

"Maid...maid is clean..."

Han Shao was stunned when he heard this.

Who asked you if you were clean?

He just wanted to test whether she was Gongsun Xinyi's close maid.

Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Suibo arriving.

Yu Xuanji was in sight, wearing a plain white dress, leaning against the window.

Caressing the snow-white jade rabbit in her arms, she looked away at the bright moon in the sky.

At first glance, it looks like a concubine and fairy who has been banished to the mortal world from the moon palace.

The beauty is breathtaking and captivating.

Even Han Shao forgot to argue with the little waitress for a moment, and appeared next to her after a few steps.

Seeing Han Shao come back, Yu Xuanji's empty eyes gradually gained focus.

Then she showed a bit of passion and charm.

Just when he was about to say something, he saw Han Shao suddenly twisting the pair of snow-white rabbit ears, lifting them up and throwing them away away.

When Yu Xuanji saw this, a flash of distress flashed in her eyes.

And said sorry to Yu'er.

Then he was picked up from the waist.

When he realized what he was doing, he was already on the bed.

"Farewell...Mr. Sir, I haven't bathed yet..."

Han Shao lowered his head and took a sip and said.

"Time waits for us not."

soon.

Waves of wonderful sounds were played between heaven and earth.

As a maid, Yun Chan stood quietly outside the door and curled her lips secretly.

'A witch, a vixen...'

Muttering in her heart, Yun Chan also raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

In the bright moonlight, a floating cloud gathered and took shape.

She couldn't help but think of the cicada slave raised by Mrs. Gongsun.

Every time spring comes, the cry is like scratching the heart and liver, which is really annoying.

……

The next day.

Han Shao stood up refreshed, then dressed and washed under Yu Xuanji's service.

This should have been the job of the maid in the mansion.

But Yu Xuanji felt that this was one of the few things she could do for Han Shao, so she was extra attentive.

The movements are also extremely gentle.

Han Shao did not refuse, but just allowed her to do what she did.

After everything was done, Han Shao accompanied Yu Xuanji to have a brief meal before getting ready to go out.

Seeing Han Shao change his previous lingering in the back house, Yu Xuanji felt relieved, but at the same time, she felt a little empty.

"So early?"

Women are contradictory.

Not only do I think about my husband's great career, but I also want to be by my side all the time.

As everyone knows, how to have both fish and bear's paws?

Han Shao laughed.

"It's difficult to start a business, but it's the time to start a new business."

As he said that, he added with a smile.

"Time waits for us not."

Yu Xuanji blinked and then thought of the pun in Han Shao's words.

Cheeks slightly red.

The moment his eyes flashed, Han Shao didn't dare to look any further.

His figure became weak and he disappeared into the sleeping room of the back office.

……

　More than 200 words have been added, and they are also free.
