Chapter 316 Gifts
Han Jian had thought about the spy issue before. But I think there is little possibility of spies among these people. The main reason is that these people are not successful in nature. Even if they come to Jiangdu, they will not be able to penetrate into the Jiangdu court. So where is their value?
But Han Jian has to be careful of some things. If there are really people who are sting and taking advantage of them, they will turn against each other at the end of the battle, then they will be sad.
"Er Niang, why not use these people separately." Han Jian said, "There is no connection between them, and even if there are spies in the future, they will not be afraid. At least they will not disrupt our plans."
Han Song thought about it and nodded slightly. Han Jian said that he was also a way, which was to assign different responsibilities to these people and let them do their own affairs. In this way, even if something happened to some of them or even some of them in the future, it would not affect the daily operation of the entire Dongwang Mansion. And the most important thing is that Han Jian did not hand over all the dispatched tasks to these people, and he would always use some of his own hands. In this way, they would downplay their role in the Dongwang Mansion dispatch system. They could use them, but they would not rely entirely on them.
With manpower, Han Jian has to do now is to find some suitable manpower from the official system of the Dongwangfu and make preparations before the war.
Before this war came, his preparations were already behind. Luoyang obviously had to do more than Jiangdu in preparing for war. But Han Jian also knew that it was not difficult to come from behind, it depends on whether he could play with a system. Luoyang had very few grain reserves and military reserves in the past two years, and some granaries had reached a point where they could not make ends meet due to the deficit of the Northern King's Mansion. This time, if it weren't for the support of the Northern King's Mansion's military supplies, Luoyang would not dare to fight this battle.
Han Jian immediately asked someone to hold a meeting and distributed the manpower. He asked someone to go to the local government to collect supplies earlier, and then started to recruit soldiers and allocate two funds to raise the army. After several meetings, the entire preparation atmosphere for war in Luoyang was very strong. Even some people who had prejudiced Han Jian and those senior officials of the Luoyang faction seemed to have to think about it with Han Jian at this time. After all, Han Jian was the East King, and the East Prince's Mansion was now the last place for the Queen and them. If Jiangdu fell, they either went into exile overseas or had to wait to die.
Han Jianxin also made some reservations after sending everyone down. This was Jiang Du’s biggest preparation before the war.
Having prepared material dispatch, Han Jian was not in a hurry to mobilize the army to the front line immediately. In his opinion, the beginning of a war also required intelligence to ensure it. In addition to the intelligence agency of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, his intelligence system was more important than Mrs. Luo's lineage. Mrs. Luo was a great master in Luoyang. His father was once a famous official under the command of the Western King to dispatch military supplies, and Mrs. Luo also inherited some talents in this area.
In terms of contact with Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Luo had already sent people to support her at any time before Han Jian returned to Jiangdu. Among them, the one who contacted Han Jian the most was Mrs. Luo's capable general, Da Xiliu.
This time when Daxiliu came to Jiangdu, in addition to being responsible for contacting Han Jian and Mrs. Luo, he also had an important task, which was to move part of Mrs. Luo's industries to Jiangdu. After Mrs. Luo defected to the East Prince Mansion, he regarded himself as half of the East Prince Mansion, and his industry gradually moved from Luoyang to the east. Han Jian didn't use much. After all, Mrs. Luo's people could not compare with the land of Jiangdu. However, Mrs. Luo's people involved all kinds of religions and all aspects of Luoyang and even the world's industries. Even if Yang Yu looked down on merchants, he did not dare to offend these business people casually in the face of war, because the entire Wei Dynasty's material dispatch was basically done by these merchants who were seeking profit.
Han Jian did not see Daxiliu in the Eastern Palace, and he was afraid that he would be learned. The Queen had previously investigated the Daxiliu incident, but neither Han Jian nor the Queen informed Han Jian of the concubines about this matter, so even Han Song and others did not know that Han Jian had such a force on hand.
Daxi Liu was dressed in plain clothes, like a farmer's woman, but because she was so beautiful, she would not come out casually without makeup on her daily life, because such a woman would be very annoying when walking on the road and might cause trouble.
At dusk, Han Jian was drinking tea in the teahouse, and Daxi Liu came late. Han Jian wrapped himself in a coat tightly, so he knew that Daxi Liu should avoid people's eyes and ears. Many of the people under Mrs. Luo were from the old subordinates of Xiliang. In addition to Mrs. Luo, these people were also preparing for the restoration of the country. Now the troubled times in the north are about to arise, and the people from the old subordinates of Xiliang naturally felt that this was the best time to restore the country. Recently, there have been many activities, but Mrs. Luo went to the Eastern Prince's Mansion behind his back. Mrs. Luo naturally was afraid that these people who had the same purpose as her would know that even if Daxi Liu came to Jiangdu, they would avoid people. The people brought with them were all cultivated by Mrs. Luo himself, and there were no members of the old subordinates of Xiliang.
"I've seen the young master." When I saw Han Jian, Daxi Liu saluted respectfully. She and Han Jian were the only ones in the teahouse. It had just snowed at this time, and the weather was very cold, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.
"Miss Xiliu is polite." Han Jian smiled and pointed to the seat in front of him, saying, "Come on, sit down and have tea."
"I dare not." Daxi Liu said respectfully.
Han Jian smiled and said that after a few days, the name of Daxiliu has changed from "subordinates" to "slaves", which is mainly related to Mrs. Luo's gift to Han Jian. Mrs. Luo once wrote a letter saying that in order to show loyalty, she wanted to give Han Jian some gifts, and one of the gifts was Xiliu, the big and small, and because Xiaoxiliu had a task, he could not come to Jiangdu with him. In fact, Daxiliu came first to ask Han Jian to "sign up" it.
"Miss Xiliu is polite. It's easier to sit down and speak, and it's not easy to attract attention." Han Jian personally poured a tea ceremony for the cup opposite.
When Daxiliu heard Han Jian say this, she no longer sticks to her. She salutes respectfully and sits down, but her attitude is still very respectful. She sat down and Han Jian gestures to the teacup in front of her. Daxiliu held the teacup in both hands, but did not dare to raise it in front of Han Jian to drink.
In the past, Daxi Liu was a subordinate of Han Jian, and she was also a member of Mrs. Luo. Although she was respectful to Han Jian in terms of words and attitudes, she was an independent individual after all, and she didn't have to be too restrained with Han Jian. But now she has become a slave. In front of her master, a slave, let alone drinking tea, even standing upright is a transgression. Now Han Jian pours tea himself, how dare she drink it?
"Miss Xiliu, let me explain something to you." Han Jian saw Xiliu like this, and said, "Although your godmother gave you to me, I have no blessing to save you. Just treat it as doing things for me, and I will pay you a reward, and part of the reward is to give you freedom. Doing things under my hands will be easier than your godmother's hands, because I won't force others to do it. If Miss Xiliu feels that she is not satisfied with her errands and can leave at any time, I will not interfere."
When Daxiliu heard Han Jian's words, he looked up and looked at Han Jian with a complicated look.
In her eyes, Han Jian said this beautifully. But a slave is a slave and he can't get rid of his bad family wherever he goes. What she wished in her life was to live a stable life like an ordinary person. She had long ignored the affairs of the world. But even if Han Jian said that she could leave "at any time", she would not dare to leave because some things were not as simple as Han Jian said.
But Han Jian's words were not false. While Han Jian said this, he took out a contract from his arms and handed it to Da Xiliu.
Daxi Liu originally thought it was a task sent by Han Jian. When she took it respectfully and opened it, she stood up from the chair in shock. Han Jian gave her the household registration of her and her sister, and in the household registration, she was no longer a slave, nor a lowly, but a good citizen. Such a document could not be obtained without the approval of several yamen in the court. But Han Jian is now the King of the East and is also responsible for some of the court, so he has such privileges to specifically approve such a household registration.
"Young Master, you are..."
Da Xiliu took her and her sister's household registration, and looked a little confused and moved. She worked for Mrs. Luo for so many years, and even if she recognized Mrs. Luo as her godmother, Mrs. Luo also changed something for their sisters. Now that she and her sister have just been given to Han Jian by Mrs. Luo, Han Jian responded with such a big gift. With this household registration, she and her sister can live a stable life wherever she goes. Even if she goes to Southern Qi and has a formal household registration, the Southern Qi side will properly resettle. In recent years, Wei and Qi have been very active in fighting for refugees on the border and try every means to win some population. In this year, the population often determines the strength of the country.
"Miss Xiliu don't have to be too careful. This is just a gift for you and your sister. As long as you and your sister help me with work for half a year, I will never interfere where you want to go in the future. Even if your godmother asks, I will only say that you and your sister help me with work and will not let her interfere with you." Han Jian smiled, "Will Miss Xiliu say this, I am satisfied?"
When Daxi Liu heard this, he said nothing, knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed Han Jian three times. After kowtowing, he stood up and stood on one side, with blood on his forehead. Han Jian did not expect that his casual help would make Daxi Liu so grateful. Han Jian did not know that Daxi Liu had fought for his household registration many times, but it was left alone every time. Although she had already left the lowly family, because she could not get a formal good household registration, she was just like a savage in recent years, and even had to entertain people in the form of lowly family registration at any time, which made her feel very frustrated.
