Chapter 110 Two Gardens
Shao Xun returned to his manor first.
"Lang Jun."
"General Chen."
Tang Jian was leading the guests to manage the refugees outside the gate. He saw a large group of cavalry coming. After seeing clearly, He immediately stepped forward and saluted.
General Chen? Shao Xun glanced at Chen Yougen.
Chen Yougen was a little embarrassed and muttered: "Lang Jun, they are just calling you for fun..."
"Lang Jun."
"General."
"Shao Gong."
When he heard the last title, Shao Xun felt a little ridiculous.
He is only eighteen years old and someone calls him "Shao Gong"? After taking a closer look, his appearance is somewhat similar to Chen Yougen.
"This is it?" Shao Xun asked.
"Reporting to Sir, this is my eldest brother Chen Jingen. He has been farming in Yuzhou before, and recently brought dozens of villagers to Luoyang to beg for food. Shao Dianji has agreed." Chen Yougen said.
"Shao Dian Ji" is Shao Xun's third brother, Shao Fan, who followed Pei Jin and learned to manage the manor. Shao Xun once said that when Shao Yuan responded to matters, they would discuss them. Unexpectedly, many new people came here after many days.
Actually, this is normal.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and Shao Xun becomes an official, not only his relatives will come to seek refuge, but also his close relatives and confidants will come to seek refuge. Even the slaves will introduce people they know to be slaves...
"Since you are here, let's arrange it in the manor." Shao Xun nodded, and then looked at the erected building not far away. There were piles of tents and he said, "Go and take a look."
Chen Yougen was about to say that his two brothers were also coming, but he had to shut up and follow quickly.
Wang Queer was faster than him, leading dozens of people to clear the way.
There are rice steamers piled outside the tent, and they are cooking corn porridge.
Shao Xun looked at it carefully and saw that it was okay, not full, but not hungry.
“Add some fish soup to the team.” Shao Xun pointed his riding whip at the westernmost tent and said.
There were more than a hundred women sitting there, some with babies, who had fled all the way and were reluctant to abandon them.
The baby was crying loudly because of hunger. The woman was eager to feed her, but there was no milk left, so she could only cry secretly.
In the end, someone was kind-hearted and took the child over, undressed him and fed him.
“No.” Pei Jin, who came in a hurry, immediately sent someone to handle it.
Most of the fish in the pond were caught last year.
When Zhang Fang attacked Luoyang, he spent most of his time in the north of the city and did not come to the west of the city much. However, the manor was barely preserved - maybe it was also because it was slightly far away from Luoyang.
If we catch it again, the pond fish may become extinct.
"Please add more porridge and rice." Shao Xun said again.
"No." Pei Jin went back in person to give the order.
Shao Xun was about to say something more, but he saw that Pei Jin had already run away, so he gave up.
Is he afraid that I will go bankrupt and cause him to lose his job?
Shao Xun sighed, his money was indeed a little tight, and his appetite was still too big.
He walked leisurely.
When the people in the tent saw him, they came out to thank him.
"Where did you come from?" Shao Xun asked, looking at the frightened and undecided faces.
Everyone looked at me and others, and finally recommended a man who had been in his forties for a year to come forward.
"Greetings to Mr. Lang." The man said: "We are all from Taiyuan, working hard in the countryside. Suddenly we heard that the captives were coming, burning, killing and looting. In panic, our family went south, begging all the way, and finally arrived in Luoyang. ”
"Have all the fugitives come to Luoyang, or have some gone to other places?"
"It was a difficult journey, some stayed, some continued, and others joined in on the way. As far as I know, the people who came to Luoyang "It's not too much."
"I see." Shao Xun said, "Now that I'm here, are you willing to settle down?"
The man was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "It's true. . All the guests in Taiyuan, the head of the family, feel that they can’t stay any longer, so they go south. After all, Luoyang is under the emperor’s feet, and it may be safer.”
Shao Xun thought to himself, you are wrong.
Before this year, Luoyang was a place where fighting was very frequent. After Sima Lun, Sima Jiong, Sima Yi died successively, and then Sima Ying was defeated, the place finally settled down.
"Why are you still willing to come here now that you have a master? Do you know that since you have surrendered to me, you will be a guest, but it will not be easy." Shao Xun asked.
"I will not deceive you. If my master is still here, I will not come here." The man said, "Unfortunately, I have died of illness in Hanoi. I am homeless, so I would like to join you."
"Are they all thinking in general?" Shao Xun asked, pointing to the hundreds of people behind him.
“Exactly.”
"I want you to go to Yiyang, but not in Luoyang. How about you?"
"A person who has lost his home has nothing to choose from. I just wish."
" Okay, once the word is spoken, it is settled that we will set off in two days. "Tang Jian."
"I'm here," Tang Jian said loudly.
"How many guests are there today?"
"Twenty-three people."
"Two days later, I will ask Sun He to lead a team, and you will lead Shao Yuan Guests, escort Taiyuan guests to Yunzhongwu."
"By the way, how many refugees are there?"
"Two hundred and thirty. Two households, nine hundred and twelve people." "Okay, send them all over," Shao Xun said without hesitation.
Pei Jin and Shao Fan are jointly responsible for recruiting refugees, and Tang Jian only assists in management. Shaoyuan will continue to send people out to collect people. After bringing back the rough generals, they will be raised and then sent to Yiyang for registration.
Fortunately, the student soldiers are all literate, and some can also do arithmetic. They may not be very good at management, but at least they have management.
In troubled times, talent is most valuable.
The first batch of Donghai student soldiers studied for more than two years and finally came in handy.
The second batch of Luoyang student soldiers has been studying for less than a year and has to continue.
In addition, the third phase of recruitment is available this year.
From a rough analysis of the current situation, Luoyang will usher in a rare period of peace.
How long this period of peace will last is hard to say, but at least there will be no war this year. What will happen next year remains to be seen, no one can guarantee it.
The period of peace is precious. If you don't make good use of it, you will have to pay the price in the future.
After leaving Shaoyuan, Shao Xun ran from the west to the east of the city like lightning and stopped his horse outside Panyuan.
Another Dianji came out of the manor, named Pei Gong, followed by his eldest nephew Shao Shen.
"Lang Jun."
"Second uncle."
The two of them saluted one after another.
After Shao Xun returned the gift, he felt a little uncomfortable.
The Pei family is everywhere. Can’t I live without your Pei family?
That's all, stop complaining, I will have to borrow money from Concubine Pei later...
"How many people have been taken in?" Shao Xun looked at Pan Yuan, who was once very familiar with him, and was very surprised. Feeling.
No traces of the war can be found here. Only the two sentry towers originally built still clearly told him that he had fought here.
"One hundred and ten households, 451 people, mostly from Taiyuan, and a few from Xihe and Pingyang." Pei Gong replied.
Fourteen-year-old Shao Shen wanted to answer, but couldn't, so he scratched his head anxiously.
"How many days have you been raising?"
"Today is the fourth day."
"Two days later, you summon the bankers and send them all to Shaoyuan , handed it over to Tang Jian and Sun He."
"No."
Shao Xun pulled his nephew over and asked, "Have you been able to study hard recently?"
"You worked hard... You really worked hard." Shao Shen said immediately.
“Why do some people say that you ride horses all day long and assassinate straw men with a broken gun?” Shao Xun asked.
“Huh?” Shao Shen was dumbfounded.
Is there a craftsman around me? Still suing?
"If you eat well, your strength will be useless, right?" Shao Xun slapped him on the ear and neck, and said: "It's not that I won't let you practice martial arts, but you can't be partial. You are too much of a student. If you leave, If you don't know a few words when you go out, it's not only embarrassing for you, but also for me. From now on, I will study essays in the morning, practice martial arts in the afternoon, and review my homework in the evening. I can only bow my head and respond.
Shao Xun had lunch in Pan Yuan, and then met with the guests of the village - all old acquaintances.
"Piyong said goodbye and saw Lang Jun again." Someone cried: "Luoyang was beaten and killed, and there was almost no way to survive. If Lang Jun hadn't taken him in, I don't know where he died suddenly."
“Three years ago, Lang Jun defended himself here from the enemy, and now he is famous all over Luoyang. We follow Lang Jun, and we are doing the right thing.”
“Lang Jun, please don’t abandon me. "
Everyone was talking and shouting.
In fact, most of the farmers in Panyuan have gone to the East China Sea. That was what happened when Sima Ying's army threatened Luoyang. Two and a half years have passed in a flash.
Shao Xun looked at these familiar faces and said warmly: "In troubled times, getting together is fate. If you follow me, there is no reason to give up. It's a good life to work here, and no one will ask. No one will tax you, so you can rest assured. If you have relatives or acquaintances, you can introduce them to this place. There are many people, but there is a shortage of people."
He plans to recruit the third batch of student soldiers this year and place them in Panyuan.
There are fifty or sixty farmers here, who grow and harvest their own crops. Apart from paying rent to the manor, they have no other burdens, which is quite comfortable.
However, the number of bankers is still a bit small. It would be best to expand to more than 100 households. Anyway, there is a lot of abandoned farmland around.
The student soldiers will be supported by them from now on.
Shao Xun recalled it carefully.
In the second year of Tai'an (302), he began to take care of the first group of teenagers.
There were originally one hundred and fifty people, but now there are only a hundred or so people left.
Some people went home, some died in the battle, and some died of illness.
Among the hundred or so people, the young men over fifteen years old supported themselves with nearly 600 soldiers in the first building of the Silver Spear Army, which was their bottom line.
Yesterday Wu Qian told him that there are currently 62 student soldiers and officers in the first building. This year, more than 20 people have reached the age of 15. In addition to those who continue to "further study", there are still 19 people Available.
The most outstanding person among the nineteen was named Xu Yu, who was proficient in writing, good at archery, and good at riding horses.
Shao Xun thought for a while, and while Sima Yue did not come to Luoyang and had the final say here, he continued to gather the wool of the Jin Dynasty, built a second building of the Silver Spear Army, and temporarily organized three teams and one One hundred and sixty-eight officers and soldiers.
He no longer serves as the owner of the first building concurrently, and Jin San is appointed instead. Wang Queer, the commander of the training team, is brought back to serve as the owner of the second building.
Wu Qian is still responsible for recruiting soldiers. He must complete the recruitment as soon as possible and start training.
Every minute before Sima Yue returns to Luoyang is precious.
His return means uncertainty, and Shao Xun hates uncertainty.
He left Pan Yuan early the next morning. After entering the city through Jianchun Gate, he first went to a tailor shop to pick up things, and then went straight to Sikong Mansion.
