On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Zi first will bring her younger sister and Xiuniang back to the mansion to live.

This time I returned to the city, almost all the Ya generals, led by Qin Dongyang and Liu Yi. In addition to more than a hundred Ya generals, all the Yidu cavalrymen who were training the cavalry capital were accompanied.

With the protection of these more than 200 people, unless Lin Douyao or Pu Shougao is crazy, openly rebels, and dispatches the imperial guards to attack the Marquis' Mansion, you can be assured of safety.

The captured iron armor was mostly put on the tooth generals, and the remaining mail, leather armor, and cotton armor were given priority to equipped cavalry, and then the sword and card players of each battalion.

Now all the tooth generals, cavalry, and nearly a hundred sword players are all wearing armor, and the number of long-slinging hands is less than 30%. Compared with the armored armor practiced by the imperial guards in Nan'an, there is still a difference, but it is almost the same.

Kong He and Fu Qian and others have negotiated prices with the Zhang family in Tingzhou. When they have enough money after the New Year, they will continue to order weapons and iron armor. Xu Zixian's goal is to replace all the military soldiers in the regiment in the middle of next year, and the newly established water camp will be covered with mail or leather armor.

The aftermath of the war is still there. Wei Yi, on behalf of Fuzhou Weekly Report, came to the town and wrote a special article, which was published before the New Year. Perhaps before the Lantern Festival, the Nan'an delegation would defeat pirates and behead the glorious record of beheading a thousand-level battle will spread throughout the Wei Dynasty.

Xu Zixian became famous again, but this time he did not practice filial piety with his articles, but with his real and proud military achievements.

The comforting envoy pinched his nose and reported his military achievements. No matter how reluctant Lin Douyao was, he had to report it truthfully. He would naturally impeach Xu Zixian. It is said that he was arrogant and illegal, domineering and unprofessing the crime of superiority. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was just a slight breath.

The inspector, the envoy of the Criminal Office, the Grand Governor's Office, and the Fuzhou Prefecture all submitted a special report to the two prefectures, and then transferred from the two prefectures to the imperial front.

On the 26th, Xu Zi first ordered money to be given to all military soldiers. Regardless of the officers and soldiers, they received a generous reward before the New Year.

Each person has a minimum of ten cents of money, which is of course a huge sum of money for the martial arts servants who have saved less than ten cents of money a year ago.

The jubilant atmosphere diluted the sadness of the soldiers who died in battle when they were buried. In addition, the seriously injured Wushang who died one after another in the past few days, a total of 71 people died in battle. For the victory of winning a thousand-level head, the death of more than 70 people seemed insignificant, but for the families of the dead Wushang, it was still an unavoidable sadness.

When the burial was drizzled, people were in a low mood, and many people in the town came to see the dead off.

Xu Zixian chose a high-level place on the bank of the Nan'an River and buried Wu's jungle in a concentrated manner on the banks of the Nan'an River. Of course, these places belong to the Marquis' Mansion.

This place was regarded as a martyr's cemetery, and was buried in a concentrated manner. A few families of martial arts soldiers took their bodies back to the family cemetery for burial. For many families, it is a rare honor to be able to bury their dead relatives and comrades together and to be celebrating them from time to time by the government. They are willing to accept such arrangements.

Many families of the dead Wu Zu were taken to the Yangjiayuan north of the vegetable garden. Most of them were poor families with only elderly, women, and children, and there was no clan care.

There are many clans in Fujian, and it is common for large clans to live in thousands or tens of thousands of people. Some of them are small clans that have not even formed clans. The main reason is that the migration time is too short and it is not a clan migration, so it is difficult to form a situation where large clans live.

In Ganzhou, Meizhou, Huizhou and Tingzhou, Fujian, these are all settlements of Hakka clans. Sometimes the imperial court's government orders are difficult to implement, and many government affairs are simplified to the clan level to implement them. Large clans live together, with thousands of men and more than ten thousand men. The power of clan elders is greater than that of the government.

There are not many large families who have moved out of the country, and there are not many obstacles in governance.

If it were like the four Hakka states, the great clan often had more than ten thousand males, I am afraid that Xu Zixian would not have the opportunity to launch a group training position at all. He could only choose among the great clans, so that he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Those who have no clan to rely on are also many lonely and widowed people and women and children in the family. The Nan'an Marquis' Mansion moved to take care of them, which of course made all the martial soldiers and the merchants and civilians in the town praise each other.

In addition, everyone has given money, and the uninjured martial soldiers not only give only ten s of stakes. Those who have made meritorious, beheaded, and those who have been trapped in the battle will report to the military officers, and the martial soldiers can also report to themselves. Kong He, Chen Zuocai and others have been busy for several days and reported the list of those who have made meritorious soldiers, ranging from hundreds to ten stakes. Everyone has made meritorious soldiers, carrying heavy wallets and queuing out of the enforcer's room.

At this moment, the entire Nan'an and several nearby towns were in full bloom.

The men who are still in their prime are all anxious and red. They have worked hard for a year but can save more than ten cents of money. They used to dig food in the soil like themselves. The partners who have disbanded workers in each town have a net worth of dozens of cents and over a hundred cents at once. This difference is of course the envy and jealous of these middle-aged men.

As for the women, they were even more anxious to jump. Although they were worried about their lives when they went to war, more than 1,600 people died, 71 people, who could say that it was their turn? As long as they did not die, they could enjoy wealth and honor. Who would not want to?

Even if a man dies in battle, he still has money from the family or goes to the stewards to settle his family. The Marquis' Mansion will always support him. As long as the Marquis' Mansion in Nan'an is there, there is no need to worry about not having food and clothing.

Later generations may think these women are cruel, but if they are asked to run around for survival all year round, the elderly and children cannot afford medicine when they are sick, they usually save food and clothing, and do not have enough food and clothing, and do housework all year round during wind and rainy days, and men betray blood and sweat, and they may think that being a martial arts servant is a more cost-effective thing.

However, the Nan'an regiment training did not plan to recruit troops. Before Xu Zi returned from the capital, the water camp could only prepare. For one thing, Xu Zi had to decide in Nan'an first, and each military soldier must be recruited by Xu Zixian himself. Secondly, rewards the military trainer, and rewards, and treatment of the wounded. The money spent more than 30,000 yuan. Of course, the money given by the Shang people and the Fuzhou Prefecture was not enough. The Nan'an regiment training also consumed a lot of money.

In addition, the wharf has not been completed yet, Xu Zixian ordered Fu Qian to imitate the hydraulic yard truck, and there are a lot of money everywhere. The matter of recruiting one or two battalions of naval troops and military soldiers can only be discussed slowly.

Fortunately, there are enough talents now, and the abilities of officials such as Li Yi are continuing to improve. Officers such as Qin Dongyang have been tempered by the war. Xu Zixian himself has gained a lot of experience from a keyboard strongman to a practical leader. From the Battle of Hekou to the Battle of Jiangdi, after the two wars, how could Xu Zixian gain less than other officers?

On the 27th, when Xu Zixian was about to go, he summoned all the officials and officers under the Marquis' Office to sign the signing room.

There are so many people in the hall.

Civil and military personnel sat together, dozens of people crowded together, and the huge signing room was a little crowded.

From persuading Li Yi to recruiting Fu Qian and others in the exam, then inviting the great scholar Wu Shizhong, and then including Qin Dongyang and other military generals. The current Nan'an Marquis' Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes more than half a year ago.

"Is it still sending money outside the hall?" Xu Zi sat down first, and heard the clanging sound of counting copper coins, and asked without any sense of laughter: "I haven't sent it yet?"

"The military officer has been sent to the first level of the team. Now the military servant has not been sent yet." Kong He smiled and said, "But before the evening, he should have sent it all."

"Everyone can have a good New Year." Xu Zixian smiled and said to everyone: "Are you the same?"

Everyone laughed, and Fu Qian laughed the most prominently in the crowd. He made great contributions. Although the hydraulic car had not been successful, he also made contributions to the hard work and the one-legged car before. Xu Zixian specially rewarded him with a hundred stale money. For Fu Qian, who had often been unable to expose the pot before, it was also a huge sum of money.

As long as the hydraulic large yard car is developed, it will at least receive a reward of more than 1,000 guan. Fu Qian is even more excited about this.

Qin Dongyang was also full of joy. He was a young man and had not yet returned the money when he was appointed as the Dianwei of the Marquis. His home was dilapidated, and the courtyard walls and houses were in trouble, but he had no money to repair them.

In the past six months, I have accumulated a lot of money, but it is still not enough.

In this war, Qin Dongyang was recognized as the best in the military officers, so Xu Zi first gave 200 stagnants of money, which was also a huge amount of wealth for Qin Dongyang now.

He was able to work in the Marquis' Mansion and become a formal military officer in the court. He had hundreds of taxes of money at home, and the elderly could be nurtured and the children could wear warm cotton jackets. There were constant meat and fish every day. When Qin Dongyang sat at the head of the military officer, the expression on his face was also very happy from the bottom of his heart.

Only Liu Yi was careless, and his money rewards were as much as 200 trump cards. He used two long swords in Xinzi Camp to kill at least dozens of people. Of course, the rewards were not cheap. However, Liu Yi seemed to love gambling the most. Xu Zixian strictly prohibited Wu Zu from gambling and drinking too much. Liu Yi still drank alcohol, but he could only ban him. His money was mostly to ask the servant to go to nearby towns and Fuzhou City to buy good wine. The more or less money, it was meaningless to Liu Yi.

Chen Daojian also received a reward of dozens of tons. In addition to supporting his grandmother, he only bought some necessary daily household items, and the rest of his money was used to buy books.

In addition to official duties, Chen Daojian was the only assistant official who could not study. Even Wu Shizhong admired him very much. As the saying goes, if Chen Daojian had not intended to take scientific examinations, Wu Shizhong would have wanted to bring Chen Daojian into the wall and become a formal disciple.

Wu Shizhong's status was relatively transcendent. He usually did not handle chores in the Marquis' Mansion and only taught apprentices in Mingtang.

At the end of the year, many Wumen disciples who lived and studied returned home one after another. Wu Shizhong came to attend the meeting when he was free. Otherwise, he would of course not come or not for such a military and political meeting.

Looking at the grand occasion of the talents in front of him, Wu Shizhong was also surprised. He had been in the capital, and the residences of the princes and marquis were mostly clear-headed guests. How could there be so many talents who could do practical things?

Even the residences of the left prime minister and the right prime minister, most of the talents recruited were ordinary and there was nothing to be considered.

Liu Zhiyuan had several capable strategists around him, and there was Li Gu around King Zhao in Fuzhou, and the rest were all mediocre.

However, Xu Zixian gathered so many talents quietly here, and it was amazing that talented people gathered together.

"It's a happy event to summon all of you." Xu Zixian took a stack of documents from the front of the case and said with a smile: "Last night, the Grand Governor's Office and the Pacifier Office used seals together. Maybe Lord Lin also felt that it was meaningless to press it again... Congratulations to everyone."
