Chapter 29 Conversation

After confirming that Yunfeng had no ill intentions, Geng Liang settled down with his sister with peace of mind.

The small court in Jiangdong was hastily established and the imperial power fell away. It was a deformed product in itself. In the country, there were conflicts between the gentry with the overseas surname and the gentry with the surname Wu headed by Gu Lu Jizhou; there were conflicts between the gentry and the common people and peasants; there were conflicts between the Huaxian clan and the

Tianshi Dao's struggle for power, and the Jing Yang dispute are also showing signs of emerging. The situation is complicated and intertwined.

As Geng Liang himself, he had sympathy for Sima Rui and the kindness of being acquainted with him for more than ten years, he was grateful to his master for raising and teaching him, and he was also constrained by the two brothers and the Wu surname, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.

Tired, extremely tired.

This mission trip allowed him to temporarily escape from the political whirlpool of Jiankang and use it as a means to relax his mind and body. Besides, traveling thousands of miles, reading thousands of books, and experiencing military life was also quite good.

During the visit to the military camp, Geng Liang also tried to argue with Yun Feng to refute the views in his book. However, Yun Feng blocked Geng Liang back with the excuse that his ideas were different and there was no need to talk more. Yun Feng was not willing to argue with him.

He was bickering. Instead of arguing, it would be better for him to see more and understand more. Facts speak louder than words! This approach made Geng Liang helpless, but he couldn't think of anything.

On the contrary, Geng Wenjun felt that everything was new. Geng Liang did not cross the Yangtze River until she was sixteen years old, and she had lived in the gentle and graceful Jiangnan since she was sensible. It could be said that she was a real water town woman. When she first saw the north

It was windy and snowy, and the vast grasslands and vast Gobi deserts made her feel so excited that she couldn't put it into words. In addition, the chilling atmosphere in the military camp also made her very interesting.

Yunfeng did not restrict the activities of the Geng brothers and sisters in the military camp. Therefore, after they were settled, they walked out of the tent and visited the Liangzhou camp on their own.

Gradually, it was getting close to dusk, and smoke began to rise from the tents. The brother and sister walked among the neat tents. Geng Wenjun asked as they walked: "Brother, what do you think of Yunfeng?"

Geng Liang thought for a moment and said solemnly: "This man is a great hero in the world. If he assists the Lord, the world can be settled within ten or twenty years. It's a pity that he can't be used by our great Jin Dynasty." As he said this, he regretfully said.

Shaked his head.

"Oh?" Geng Wenjun said in confusion: "My sister thinks this person is just a lustful, shameless scoundrel. I feel that I am not worthy of my senior sister. Why do you think so of me, brother?"

Geng Liang sighed: "Brother Wei was also confused by his appearance at first. Although he looks like a scoundrel, from his words and deeds, we can see that he is deeply popular, broad-minded, informal, and has a sharp mind. And for Wei

Brother, I can't tell how deep he is. He looks like a white-faced Confucian scholar.

, but you can be sure that his martial arts skills must be above those of your brother, and may even reach the level of your master. In addition, judging from his method of setting up a stronghold and strict military discipline, alas, talents are rare, and he is much better than his brother.

It would not be humiliating for Lingyun to be his wife."

Geng Wenjun muttered: "Anyway, I'm not worth it for my senior sister. You see, he is surrounded by women. He is a shameless person!" After scolding him, he asked again: "By the way, brother again

How can you tell that he cannot serve the Lord?"

Geng Liang smiled bitterly and said: "This person is unwilling to kneel down to receive the imperial edict. He is obviously disrespectful to the Lord, and he also scolds the Lord for being perfunctory. How can such a person be expected to be used by our Great Jin Dynasty?"

Geng Wenjun nodded thoughtfully and said uncertainly: "Then...can I influence him through my senior sister?"

Geng Liang asked: "What do you think?"

Geng Wenjun was speechless for a moment. At this moment, the aroma of food floated in the air, and he couldn't help but said: "It smells so good. Come on, brother, let's go see what they eat?"

Geng Liang was also curious about the food supply of the Liangzhou Army, so he nodded. The brother and sister walked towards the aroma, walked around the two tents, and saw at a glance many sergeants making dinner, in groups, surrounding them.

Sitting there was an earthen pot and a fire rack roasting half a piece of lamb!

The brother and sister couldn't help but be stunned. This Liangzhou Army was too extravagant. They looked at each other and both quickened their pace and walked forward.

"Several generals, I am the envoy of the court. I wonder if I can have a few words with you?" Geng Liang saluted.

The five people raised their heads and looked at them. The captain waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You two can find a place to sit."

"This...?" Geng Liang became embarrassed. It turned out that the ground was made of frozen dirt, and there was still ice and snow that had not been cleared away in some places. How could they sit down?

When the captain looked at it, he smiled dumbly and said: "Old Li, go to the tent and bring out two pieces of felt to cover the husband and the young lady."

Geng Liang saluted and said, "Thank you very much."

Quickly, the felt was taken out. After the brother and sister sat down, Geng Liang said casually: "The food in the army is not bad!"

"That's right!" A sergeant replied with some satisfaction: "Tomorrow is the New Year, and the general cares about us. He distributed half a sheep to each team and gave each of us 600 yuan." As he said that, he frowned.

Wrinkle turned to him and asked, "What's your name?"

Lao Li said loudly: "Calling for lucky money!"

Six hundred yuan per person is not much, but there are more than 80,000 people in the Liangzhou army! It would cost almost 50 million yuan! Geng Liang couldn't help but secretly gasped, and then asked: "What do the soldiers in the army eat on weekdays?"

"

The Wu Chief took it and said: "Every person has ten liters of grain per day (at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, one liter = 0.2023 liters), and a sheep will be given to each person every five days!"

Geng Liang wondered: "How come your army eats so much?" Although he had never served in the army, he knew that according to the Han system, the full supply of rations in the army should be six liters per person per day. Of course, this is just an ideal.

In most cases, the soldiers do not have enough to eat.

The captain explained: "The general teaches martial arts in the army. Haha~~ The more we exercise, the more we eat."

The brother and sister exchanged incredulous looks. You know, martial arts cannot be taught lightly. How can they be taught to ordinary soldiers?

Geng Liang shook his head and continued to ask: "How does your general usually treat you?"

When this was mentioned, the sergeants became excited, and all of them showed excitement on their faces. Old Li said proudly: "The general has nothing to say to us! He has abolished the world military system, allocated fields to us, and there is no need to pay taxes.

That kind of thing, and the monthly rations are paid out in full!”

When they heard that Liangzhou had abolished the world military system, the brother and sister were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out of their heads. If this was done in Jiangdong, all the soldiers would be gone within three days! After a long time, Geng Liang was incredulous.

asked: "Then why are you still fighting with the army? How nice would it be to go home and farm?"

"Tsk~!" the corps commander said disdainfully: "A person must repay kindness. Although I am a rough man, I also understand this principle. The general is so kind to us, so I will give my life to the general!"

Another sergeant said proudly: "Besides, if we unfortunately die in battle, not only will the pension be increased tenfold, but the spiritual tablets can also be entered into the Martyrs' Shrine, and the bodies will be buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery for future generations to admire!"

Seeing the confusion on Geng Liang's face, the captain briefly introduced the Monument to the Martyrs, the Shrine to the Martyrs and the Cemetery of the Martyrs, and then sighed: "Without the general, Liangzhou might have been enslaved by foreigners! How could we be where we are now?

This kind of life where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and every household has plenty of money?"

"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Geng Liang asked confused.

This time Old Li started shouting, frothing at the mouth, and talked excitedly about Yunfeng's role in the two attacks by the Di tribe and Zhao State. Others also talked about it.
