"Get get it..."

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the sudden sound of horse hooves disturbed Yang Xianxian's thoughts. The official road saw that there were 150 or 60 knights, all of whom were well-known figures of the Liu family army, such as the Qianmao of the Baoquan Bureau, Chen Huaisheng of the Medical Bureau, Zhang Yingjiu of the Qianmao of the Gunpowder Bureau, Kang Shaodong of the Qianmao of the Gunnage Cannon Bureau, and Chen Tianze, the Counselor of the Liu family army.

"Greetings to Madam!"

Yang Xianxian was a little nervous at first, but she was from a wealthy family. Yang Shaozhong was an official in the Lianghuai Salt Road Censor, and he had seen the big scenes before.

"No gift, please welcome me!"

Although Yang Xianxian's voice was soft and glutinous, she was not humble and acted generously.

Chen Tianze introduced Yang Xianxian about the land reclamation and development of Kuanhe City: "Madam, please see, this place is outside the pass, the climate is bitter and cold. Thanks to the general's money, he built a water truck, dug deep wells, and built a wooden canal. Otherwise, the lady would have seen that the crops here are worse than any crop!"

Only then did Yang Xianxian realize that Liu Ming did so many things in Kuanhe City.

He walked slowly along the official road to Kuanhe City. On the way, Yang Xianxian looked at many people. The people here were also very poor. Many half-aged boys were wearing coats that were obviously cotton-padded and were tattered. The people here were also pale and thin, as were the people elsewhere.

To be different, the biggest difference here is the biggest difference between the people here and other places. The people are filled with happiness and hope for the future. In fact, since they were rescued by the Liu family army, these people have become accustomed to living under the command of the Liu family army.

Ordinary people in Kuanhe City do not have the opportunity to make fires and cook on their own. They live on time like soldiers every day, which is very simple and fulfilling.

When I wake up in the morning, I have to get up and wash up just dawn, then have breakfast, and then start work. I mine what should be mined, what should be reclaimed, what should be reclaimed, what should be built, what should be built, what should be furniture, what should be logged, what should be logged, what should be logged, what should be done, everyone will do their own job, and they will have lunch until noon. After that, I can have lunch, and then rest for half an hour, and then continue to start work until 5:30 pm, finish work on time, and then go to dinner. The next time will be controlled by them.

To be fair, any job in Kuanhe City is not easy and tiring, but if you eat enough, you don’t expect to eat much better. At least you can have enough time and you can drink a bowl of broth every now and then.

In Liu Mingyu's heart, he stopped feeling a little guilty towards these people, but in the eyes of the people, this is not about suffering, it is clearly about enjoying happiness, at least it is much better than when they used to live!

In the past, when they farmed at their homes, they had to worry about drought and beware of officials coming to collect taxes, or taking bribes, or getting rid of them. Not only were the gentry bullying them, officials bullying them, and merchants bullying them, but even military households who were bullied as grandsons in front of civil officials would bully them.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were the most pitiful and vulnerable groups, and they could be said to be bullied by everyone. In order to survive, they had to be more beautiful daughters. Since they grew up (thirteen years old), they would have to apply a pot of ash or mud on their faces, and they would cause trouble if they were not careful.

If the family is destroyed, the family will be destroyed, and the village will suffer.

Now, although the work is a bit tiring, as long as they honestly complete the work with quality and quantity as required, no one will bully them. Especially some older girls and wives, they are also brave, and many people have already found out the treatment of the soldiers of the Liu family army. They usually have four sets of military uniforms and shoes a year, and there are certain rewards during the holidays.

In the future, they will be given a house and can go to school for free after giving birth. The more important thing is that they have military pay, one tael of silver a month, or even more. Eating and drinking are all in the military camp, which means that these soldiers can save at least twelve taels of silver a year without spending money.

If you can marry these military men as your wife, you won’t have to worry about your future life.

However, the problem is that these women are also very helpless. They are crazy about to suggest that they are almost going to do something. These military men who dare to fight against Jiannu head-on but dare not do anything to them. This disappointed these women very much.

Yang Xianxian frowned and said, "The tax is so heavy now, may the land reclamation be worth the loss?"

Chen Tianze sighed, "Madam, I have also reminded the general, but he doesn't care. Those who say that guarding a large area of ​​land will starve to death are fools."

Princess Yan'er smiled and said, "What the implication is that he is a smart person!"

Yang Xianxian stared at Yan'er, and Yan'er was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.

As Kuanhe City gets closer, Chen Tianze said whispered: "Madam, the general is not in Kuanhe City now!"

"Where did he go?"

"Your Majesty summoned the general, and the general went to the capital to meet the saint!"

Yang Xianxian asked with concern: "What is the injury of my husband?"

"It's much better, at least there will be no problems on the road. There are more than twenty imperial doctors at any time!"

Finally entering Kuanhe City, Yang Xianxian was surprised to find that the city was very clean and did more than Daming Mansion City, but there were very few people, and it seemed to be an empty city!

More than a dozen shops along the street are open for business. These shops, breakfast shops, restaurants, clinics, medicine shops, gold and silver shops, pawn shops, tea shops, goods warehouses, and inns have been counted carefully, and there are dozens of them.

"Hey, why are there any shops here?"

"Oh, my wife doesn't know that these stores are newly opened, and all of them sell rice, oil, salt, vinegar, and cloth. Over the past period of time, these merchants have had a very good nose. They suddenly smelled business opportunities. They rented stores in the city and started doing business. If the general hadn't insisted on paying taxes and would have left many merchants, there would have been more shops here."

Yang Xianxian asked, "Do you still need to collect taxes?"

"Yes, the general said that it is natural for businessmen to pay taxes. If you want to do business in Kuanhe City, you will pay taxes honestly. If you don't pay one, you will get out of here automatically and get rid of many businesses."

"I seldom collects commercial taxes in our dynasty. He not only wants to collect them, but also has one or more taxes. Who is willing to do business in his territory?

"There are still people who are willing to do it, and businessmen will not do business that lose money."

In fact, not only merchants and merchants appeared in Kuanhe City, but also a large number of temporary workers. These temporary workers were actually the people who lost their land in the pass. After spring plowing and summer harvest, there was no farm work at all during this period, and even if they wanted to do short-term work, they would not have the chance.

I heard that Kuanhe City needs workers and work on time every day, not only taking care of food, but also giving certain food as a reward. Some of these refugees crossed the walls, or read the Great Wall from the steep mountains and hills, and came to Kuanhe City to work.

Yang Xianxian noticed that there were garbage cans on the street not far away. This kind of garbage can is even higher than most of the later generations. As long as you walk up and step on the pedal with your feet, you can automatically lift the lid.

Liu Fuping explained to Yang Xianxian: "Madam doesn't know. At the beginning, there was also sewage flowing here and garbage was filled with mountains. The general forced everyone to clean up the garbage and make a lot of garbage cans to place it on the roadside. If you want to throw the garbage, you can only throw it into the bin. If you throw it litter, you will be fined. At the beginning, everyone was not used to it, and he still threw it. He was severely fined several times before he could change it. Now, everyone likes this kind of neat and clean environment, and there is no need to supervise. Whoever dares to litter again will definitely be scolded by everyone to be ashamed of it."

"Greetings to Madam!"

"See Madam!"

"Hello madam!"

Wherever Yang Xianxian passed, everyone she met would consciously salute Yang Xianxian. Her enthusiasm and respect from the bottom of her heart moved her.

Of course, Yang Xianxian also knew that her wife, and her support she received today, were brought to her by Liu Mingyu.

Before he knew it, Yang Xianxian came to the military headquarters.

The military headquarters was divided into two parts. After the main hall, it was the backyard. Yang Xianxian took her maid and servants to move the gifts down and began to clean up the room.

...

Just as Yang Xianxian was cleaning up her room, Liu Mingyu also came to the capital.

However, after coming to the capital, Liu Mingyu led his army to station in the military camp where the Tianzi Bureau was stationed, but Liu Mingyu received a large stack of invitations.

There were Hou Xun, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, the ministers of the six ministries, the nobles of the Dukes and Marquis, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Liu Mingyu did not give anyone any face and went directly to the military camp.

Facing Liu Mingyu's ignorance of praise, those noble civil officials found that Liu Mingyu had not accepted anyone's banquet, which meant that he refused anyone's kindness.

"I thought he was so smart? It turned out to be a fool!"

A big shot decided to teach Liu Mingyu how to be a human being. No matter how brave or capable he is, in front of the civil servant, he is a dragon who can lie on his side and a minister who can lie on his side.

Liu Mingyu did not have this awareness. He took a simple bath when he entered the camp, and then slept until he was in the light.

"Liu Fugui, what time is it now?"

Seeing Liu Fugui's desire to speak but stopping, Liu Mingyu asked, "What's going on?"

"Young Master, they haven't sent us supplies yet!"

"Relying on those old men, you're hungry!"

Liu Mingyu said: "You find someone to inform Zhou Yuguang and ask him to buy us some food!"

"yes!"

Fortunately, Liu Mingyu was a saint who was ordered to face the emperor, and no one dared not to give the Liu family army rations, but it was okay to make some moves. Finally, officials from the Ministry of War sent supplies to the Liu family army. Seeing these supplies, Liu Mingyu's lungs were irritated.

Yellowed brown rice, aged grains, and dozens of cannons of stinking sauerkraut.

Liu Mingyu opened the tank head and looked at it. Not only did he cover it with a layer of mold, but there were also some fat and white insects swimming in salt water.

Not to mention eating, Liu Mingyu vomited directly after just one look.

As for wine and meat, there is no trace of it.

Liu Mingyu pointed at the brown rice and sauerkraut and said angrily: "Is this the supply for us?"

Fang Xinyu, the head of the Ministry of War who sent the goods, said impatiently: "It would be good to have these things to give you Qiu Ba to eat. What else do you want?"

"You should eat these things yourself, so my soldiers don't eat this kind of pig food!"

Liu Mingyu kicked a vegetable jar, and the vegetable jar fell down with a bang, smashing it to pieces on the ground. The smelly vegetable juice splashed everywhere, splashing Fang Xinyu all over.

Fang Xinyu's face turned blue with anger. He pointed at Liu Mingyu's nose and roared angrily: "You... are you arrogant! Open your eyes wide and see, is this your place to be wild?"

"Eat all these sauerkraut!"

"I don't eat this garbage!"

"Feed them in!"

After Liu Mingyu said that, the group of old men from the Ministry of War were in trouble. The soldiers of the Liu family army only followed Liu Mingyu's orders. The Liu family army killed C as a group, one on the left and one on the right to form the chief officer, and the other soldiers of the Liu family army formed the minor officials and others.

Another row of Liu family soldiers endured their disgust and grabbed the sauerkraut on the ground, stuffed them into the mouths of these officials of the Ministry of War. If they dared to spit it out, they would continue to arrest and stuff them.

Now these officials of the Ministry of War have suffered serious crimes. They vomited to the point of being in a dim light, and they were spitting to death.
