Chapter 380

When Liu Xiu left the mansion, Huang Hu naturally had to follow him.

Huang Hu was supposed to take his entourage, carrying a drum jar and a gold hammer. At Liu Xiu's command, he did not bring his entourage, nor did he carry a drum jar or a gold hammer. Instead, he changed into a thin black robe and left the prefecture with Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying.

This era is not like the information explosion of later generations. Any leader can easily recognize it, because it can be known on TV or other channels.

Now, unless I have seen Liu Xiu personally, I really don't know him.

So Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying strolled around, but no one recognized them.

When they came to the market, they walked and strolled.

On the roadside, there are all kinds of snacks, jugglers, and many people carrying firewood.

While Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying were wandering, an old man with two loads of dry firewood came over. Seeing this, Huang Hu stepped forward and stood in front of Liu Xiu, keeping the old man away.

"Young master, do you want firewood? It's very cheap. I don't want any money. I only need two liters of coarse cereals. "

There was a trace of hope on the old man's face.

Liu Xiu waved Huang Hu back and said, "old man, why do you want food instead of firewood?"

The old man was quite talkative and said with a smile, "when he sold the money, he went to buy the grain. When he bought the grain, he might be stolen. If you want food, you can cook it when you go home. "

Liu Xiu asked again, "old man, how many people are there in the family?"

"Five people!"

The old man said with a smile, "there is an old woman, daughter-in-law and good grandson in my family. My son is in the army."

Liu xiudao: "the old man's home, rely on you to sell firewood to live?"

The old man shook his head and said, "of course not. The little old man's son also has money in the army. Every month, he would go home and bring back a lot of money. There is enough money at home. Now there is no farm work, so the little old man comes out to sell firewood and subsidize the family. "

Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "old man, I heard that Liu Xiu, a herdsman in Jingzhou, has been fighting for many years, so that the common people are very hard. Is that the same true in your family?"

This words, the old man looked at Liu Xiu's eyes, become bad up.

The old man was very indignant and said angrily, "young master, how do you speak? Although Zhou Mu has been fighting all the time, it's all for Jingzhou. Don't you want anyone to resist the bandits in Jiangdong? It's said that Cao Cao led 800000 troops to kill, which was also defeated by Zhou mu. If there is no Zhou mu, where can Jingzhou have peace? "

"You're a young man. You don't know what to do."

"You, have you never experienced the time when Jingzhou thieves made trouble. At that time, there were murderers everywhere and robbers everywhere. How could there be a good day now? "

The old man gave Liu Xiu a white look and said with courage: "my firewood won't be sold to you. Hum, young man, take care of yourself."

With that, the old man left with dry wood.

Liu Xiu looked at the figure of the old man leaving, but his embarrassed face showed a smile.

Huang Yueying took Liu Xiu's hand and said, "my husband, although there are constant wars, the common people understand." Her eyes also showed a touch of happiness.

Liu Xiu smiles and walks with Huang Yueying all the way.

When passing through jewelry shops, Huang Yueying selects jewelry, while Liu Xiu asks about people's livelihood.

After walking around, Liu Xiu learned a lot about the people's feelings, and Huang Yueying also bought a lot of jewelry, as well as pretty clothes. She was very happy.

Liu Xiu walked around and knew that the people didn't complain about the continuous fighting. However, Liu Xiu also saw that the continuous wars had caused a great burden on Jingzhou.

After all, the cost of a war is considerable.

After Huang Yueying left all her jewelry, Liu Xiu asked Huang Yueying to change her dress. Then they left Xiangyang with Huang Hu and headed for lumen mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying went to see Huang Chengyan and his wife.

After a conversation, Huang Yueying and her mother left.

Liu Xiu and Huang Chengyan left the Huang family and went to the hillside.

At the gate of the mansion, when Pang Degong saw Liu Xiu, he said with a smile, "I just said, how could there be a magpie singing on the branch this morning? It turns out that Xiu Er has come back."

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said, "I'd like to see you."

Pang Degong took Liu Xiu by the hand and said, "go, follow me into the mansion."

The three entered the hall, and the guests and hosts took their seats.

Pang said: "Xiuer, you have defeated Cao Cao's 800000 troops with less than 30000 troops this time. You are famous all over the world. Since then, anyone who mentions Liu Xiu will have to look up to him. "

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "teacher, it's all empty. It's said that it's 800000 troops. That's what Cao Cao said. As a matter of fact, Cao Cao is only 200000 troops. "Pang said with a light smile: "in this war, you did not unite with Jiangdong, relying on the strength of Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao alone, and defeated Cao Cao's army. Although it's 200000 troops, it's a good fight. "

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the teacher is wrong."

Pound Fair: "although the war won, but the teacher has to pour a basin of cold water on you."

Liu Xiu said, "please teach me!"

Pound said justly: "in the past, you wantonly garrisoned land in you County, although you let the people of you County breathe, alleviated the famine in you county. But successive wars have already hindered the development of Jingzhou. "

"Moreover, because of the continuous collection of grain, the Pang family and the Huang family have no spare power to give a lot of grain."

"Third, the continuous campaign has brought great burden to the government and the people. People don't feel bitter, but after all, life is still tight. Even if they don't suffer from hunger, it's quite hard. "

Pound said justly: "I hope that you can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and have a short rest, so that the people can have a rest, and also give the counties and counties a little time to let them have a rest."

At this time, pound raised the same question.

Huang Chengyan said: "Xiuer, I think the analysis of Duke De is correct. Jingzhou has been fighting continuously. Now, we really need to recuperate."

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I will take the advice of my teacher and father-in-law. In fact, Yi Ji and Kuai Liang raised the same question, and I have agreed to order all the armies not to recruit any more and to postpone the war. "

When pound heard the speech, his face showed a bright smile.

It's a wonderful thing that Liu Xiu can stop when he wins.

Huang Chengyan suddenly said, "Xiuer, how many months have you been married to Yueying?"

Liu xiudao: "yes, what's wrong with my father-in-law?" Liu Xiu's eyes showed a strange expression, because Huang Chengyan's tone was very strange.

Huang Chengyan said: "you and Yueying have been married for such a long time. You should seize the time to have children. Although you are young, since you are the leader of the party, you are more secure with children. "

Liu Xiu said with a smile, "don't worry, my father-in-law. I will work hard."

It was strange for Liu Xiu to say these words.

Liu Xiu digs off the topic, and then asks about Pang's and Huang's shops, asking them to benefit the people as much as possible, so that the people can benefit from them.

Towards noon, Mr. pound sent Huang Yueying and his mother to the mountain for dinner.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying left lumen mountain and returned to Xiangyang.

Back in Xiangyang, Liu Xiu began to formulate the policy of recuperation. Since he wanted to do it, he naturally wanted to do it well, so that the people could get benefits from it, so that the people could benefit.

With Liu Xiu's orders, Jingzhou counties began to respond quickly.

For a time, Jingzhou postponed the war, showing the scene of Dazhi.

In late July, the hot summer, although still steaming, but finally a little more cool. At this time, the harvest season has begun.

In Jingzhou, there is a hot scene.

The people reaped the grain, and they had a smile on their faces.

At this time, the Yizhou mission had already entered the boundary of Xiangyang and came to the outside of Xiangyang City.
