Seeing that Li Dingguo's army was getting closer, Zhao Lian lifted up the hem of his official robe and trotted forward a few steps, and knelt down on the ground with a pounce, "The lower official Zhao Lian welcomes His Highness, His Highness, King Jin, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years."

When Li Dingguo saw a civil servant in a scarlet official robe kneeling on the ground, his brows frowning.

Is this civil servant too backbone?

In fact, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, the status of civil servants was far superior to that of military generals.

When a civil servant arrives, even if the level is lower than that of the general, the general must kneel down and salute.

If you can't bear to swallow your anger and serve the civil servants more comfortably, you will be stripped of your pants and beaten up, and your head will be lost.

By then, civil servants can be safe and sound as long as they make up some reasons.

The civil servant frowned and the heads of military generals fell to the ground. This kind of thing was common in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

As a result, the relationship between civil officials and military generals was very distorted and tense, which laid the groundwork for the situation in the late Chongzhen period to get out of control.

Nowadays, the Feng Shui has changed, the position of military generals has risen sharply, but the status of civil servants has declined a lot.

This is also very reasonable. The status of military generals when any dynasty was founded was far higher than that of civil servants, after all, they had great contributions.

Although Nanming was not a complete founding of the country, there was nothing wrong with saying that it would be a new world.

"Get up."

Li Dingguo did not feel any enjoyment at all, so he raised his hand to signal Zhao Lian to stand up first.

"Thank you, King Jin Qiansui."

Zhao Lian looked flattering and pasted it like a dog-skinned plaster.

"Master Zhao, can there be enough barracks in this Xi'an city now for the army to live in?"

In fact, if we know Xi'an Prefecture, there are probably few people who can compare with Li Dingguo.

He started the incident with Zhang Xianzhong in Shaanxi, and then the Northern Expedition was also the main attack of Xi'an by Li Dingguo.

As for the Kuidong army, they naturally have a very good understanding of Xi'an.

The name of the camp is not for nothing.

The reason why Li Dingguo asked this was because he wanted the soldiers to live in a good barracks as much as possible and have a better living environment.

After all, if you leave Xi'an, you will have no decent big city.

I advise you to have a glass of wine, and you will have no friends when you go west to Yangguan.

There is no problem in changing Yangguan to Xi'an when this sentence is put in Ming Dynasty.

Although Jiayuguan is also a city, it is actually pitiful and it is impossible to accommodate an army of 100,000. It is destined to have someone living outside the city.

But Xi'an Prefecture is different. If you squeeze in a large army of 100,000, you can still enter the city.

If you can take a hot shower, it will be so pleasant.

Not to mention that Li Dingguo has not taken a bath for so many days, his body is going to be bad.

Zhao Lian was waiting for this sentence. Hearing the words, he immediately smiled and said, "If you can stay, of course you can stay. When the emperor heard that His Highness of the King of Jin was about to arrive, he immediately ordered people to clear out many barracks, enough for the army to settle down."

"Okay, go into the city."

Li Dingguo waved his hand, and the Ming army headed towards the city gate.

They were really tired and tired.

Now they just want to take a hot bath, have a good meal, and then go to bed.

Just wait until you wake up to sleep the next day.

…

…

However, it was said that Li Dingguo led his troops into the city and was already in decline.

When the sky was getting darker and dusk, the prefect Zhao Lian took the initiative to propose that a welcoming banquet had been set up, preparing to welcome the king of Jin and the marquis to clean up the dust.

This was naturally prepared for a long time. Seeing Zhao Lian looking forward to it, Li Dingguo couldn't refuse.

After all, this is also the other party's will.

He agreed without hesitation.

The reception banquet was set up in the prefect's office, and Zhao Lian specially invited all the chefs of Zuixianglou, the most famous restaurant in Xi'an City.

Seeing Li Dingguo and Kuidong all came to the table to sit down, Zhao Lian also came over and raised his glass and said, "Your Highness, the princes, the marquis have worked hard all the way. The official here welcomes you here and hopes that everyone can enjoy the fun."

After saying that, Zhao Lian drank it all in one go.

"Dance!"

Zhao Lian clapped his palms, and then a group of dancers wearing gauze came in one after another.

"This is Jinghongwu specially ordered by the official to arrange by someone. Please enjoy all the nobles."

Zhao Lian was still very satisfied with Jing Hongwu.

The Jinghong Dance in history has long been lost, and the Jinghong Dance arranged by Zhao Gan is actually just named Jinghong Dance.

Even so, Zhao Lian is still very confident.

He believed that Li Dingguo and others would be very satisfied after watching this Jinghongwu.

"It's like a stunning geese, and it's like a stunning geese dancing."

Li Dingguo nodded with satisfaction.

Although he is a martial artist, his cultural cultivation is not bad.

"Magistrate Zhao is intent."

Li Dingguo was able to see Zhao Lian's sincerity.

Although Zhao Lian is very flattering, his attitude is indeed very pleasant.

"Come on, eat and drink."

Li Dingguo didn't want to wait any longer and moved his chopsticks first.

As he moved his chopsticks, everyone started to move.

"Master Zhao, this time I went to the expedition. Although I brought enough food and grass, I also consumed a lot along the way. I wonder if Master Zhao can add some more?"

When he was slightly drunk, Li Dingguo asked in a deep voice.

There was a routine in the Ming Dynasty that, wherever the visiting army arrived, local officials had to prepare food, grass, wine and food.

This is a very normal thing, and Li Dingguo also mentioned it.

He thought the other party would agree at once, but Zhao Lian looked embarrassed and said, "It's really difficult to be unwilling to be a good official. Guanzhong is already poor and has been repeatedly warned in recent years, and it has long been too late to make ends meet. The official can barely guarantee that there will be no major famine and not starve to death. But the official can't take out the excess food. To be honest, today's banquet was paid out of his own pocket."

Zhao Lian looked sad and almost wiped his tears.

Li Dingguo was puzzled and said: "It is true that Guanzhong is poor and has suffered wars, but hasn't the court exempted Shaanxi from taxes for three years? Can't it be that it can't recover its vitality?"

"His Highness of Jin's king is unknown. This year, the crops are not harvested, and the officials have opened the treasury to provide relief to the victims. It's really hard to do it."

"So that's it, I blame you wrongly."

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "Then this food will be exempted. However, I need to recruit some civilians as auxiliary soldiers. I will just let them come back after I arrive at Jiayuguan."

"No problem, this matter is to be held by Xia Guan, and His Highness King Jin will be relieved."

Zhao Lian patted his chest and promised, "Your Highness King Jin is tired, so you might as well go back and rest early. The official has prepared a maid for Your Highness King Jin to serve Your Highness."

Li Dingguo nodded silently.

After drinking and eating, he really didn't want to stay here anymore, so he got up and walked out.

A group of Kuidong generals also left the seat one after another.

After Zhao Lian sent the crowd away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These guys finally left.
