Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Wei Xuan suddenly remembered the chat between Wang Meng and himself in Xiangling that day, and said: "Wang Juncheng is young and enterprising. Please pay more attention to your two brothers in the future."

Pei Sheng looked at Wei Xuan with a little surprise. The county magistrate was the deputy of the prefect who accepted the imperial court's orders. He usually stayed hidden from others. When Wei Xuan mentioned Wang Meng at this time, everyone thought of Wang Meng being ordered to go to Xiangling to investigate.

Wei Xuan's expression was calm: "Xuan led his people to Huoshan to suppress the bandits. Wang Juncheng sent 600 elite county soldiers to assist. After the war, he personally led his people to search the mountains in Huoshan for three days."

Wei Su and Wei Le looked at each other and nodded. They also understood why Wei Xuan wanted to talk about Wang Meng at this time. In fact, when the investigation results of the Xiangling case came back, some people suspected that Wang Meng concluded the case in this way. It was the Wei family's instruction, but no one in Hedong could help Huang Heng. Kong Qian and others argued hard, and Yin De liked to keep things quiet, so it became a solid case.

What Wei Xuan is saying now is that when necessary, the Wei family may give up Yin De and support Wang Meng. If Yin De does not do anything, even if Taiping Road does not cause trouble, the Wei family cannot just sit back and watch Hedong continue to rot and say no When he gets it, he will sideline or even expel Yin De. Then the county prime minister Wang Meng is one of the candidates to succeed him.

Seeing that no one objected, Wei Xuan went on to say: "No matter what the prefecture does, our Wei family should open porridge shacks inside and outside the city from now on to reduce the hostility of the people of Anyi towards our Wei family and increase Taiping Road's opposition to our family." The difficulty of infiltrating Anyi."

Wei Su looked at his fourth uncle and then at his second brother. Both of them had sad expressions on their faces. Wei Xuan was right. Disaster relief can reduce the hostility of the people, but with the current situation in Hedong, if the Wei family specializes in If we go alone, I am afraid that all the victims from Hedong will come to Anyi.

If the Wei family stops providing relief because they can't afford it, all the victims will forget that the Wei family once helped them, and instead blame the Wei family for interrupting their relief efforts. When disappointed, they may even engage in vandalism and then join Taiping Road nearby.

Of course, Wei Xuan knew the worries of several elders. He glanced at the people present and said: "Those who are strong and healthy can be recruited to work in the government as guards. Furniture factories and salt ponds can accommodate many people. The elderly and infirm ones can be accommodated." I can’t eat much, so I can save some. In addition, I will find ways to make money, but I need to hurry up on purchasing food.”

Hearing Wei Xuan talk about money, Wei Zheng and Wei He stood up at the same time. Wei Zheng said: "Now the production of refined salt has stabilized. As long as the mining and acquisition of coarse salt are expanded, refined salt will become the property of our Wei family." A money tree can attract at least two to three hundred workers. It is also appropriate to use part of the proceeds from the salt pond to purchase food to provide relief to the victims."

Wei He said directly: "The furniture factory's income has dropped recently. It needs caravans to expand externally, and it also needs manpower."

After saying that, he looked at Wei Xuan eagerly, his mouth twitching, clearly saying, second brother, the project that you promised is more profitable than refined salt, it is time to take it out now, not only can you make money, but you can also resettle the victims, why not do it.

Wei Xuan ignored him and said to Wei Zheng: "Fourth brother, there is still some refined salt left for the slaves to exchange for some war horses, so we can purchase coarse salt in large quantities to expand production."

"Is it urgent?"

"At least half of the members of the White Tiger Hall of the Wei family in Hedong must be equipped with horses, and the escort team must have at least one hundred war horses. The number of the entire escort team must be increased by at least 500 people, otherwise our Wei family will not even be able to deal with Yang Feng.

No, let alone the entire Taiping Road in Hedong."

Everyone gasped again. First, Wei Xuan opened his mouth and asked for two to three hundred horses, including one hundred war horses. In addition, Yang Feng's strength reminded everyone that Taiping Road has become a climate in Hedong, but the Prefect's Mansion is unreliable.

, we can only rely on the Wei family themselves.

Wei Su and Wei Cheng looked at each other, both showing a deep sense of powerlessness. Will the Wei family be able to survive the coming turbulent times? But these mature guys have no good ideas, and there are several small ones.

This guy has some ideas and methods!

Next, everyone discussed the functional changes of Baihutang and some specific details of disaster relief. The details of the expansion of the furniture factory and salt pond were also decided. If the financial resources can keep up, these two places of the Wei family can absorb it.

At least five hundred strong laborers, these strong laborers can be converted into combat power when encountering a major event such as the Taiping Dao uprising. As for disaster relief, everyone could not defeat Wei Xuan, and decided to temporarily separate the camps in Anyi Chenghe and the Wei family manor outside the city.

A porridge shed was opened and the scale gradually expanded.

In the end, the Wei family finally reached a consensus at the core level, that is, before the threat to the Wei family from Taiping Road is resolved, they will focus on improving their own security forces in the short term. At the same time, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, they decided to purchase grain from other counties and prepare reserves starting tomorrow.

Open a porridge shed inside and outside the city to serve the people.

As for the rectification of the northern part of the county, it can only be decided step by step based on the attitude of the prefect.

Just when everyone thought the meeting was over, Wei Su suddenly said: "Zhongdao met a knight in Yang County who was very skilled. Zhongdao has recommended him as the governor of the prefecture. Zhongdao thinks that the world is not peaceful now. I

The Wei family should make every effort to win over this person. Please see if there is a woman of the right age in the clan to marry this person so that he can become loyal to our Wei family."

As soon as Wei Su said this, everyone was very surprised. Others were surprised that Wei Xuan wanted the daughter of the Wei family to marry a light knight. Even if he was a hero like Tong Yuan, the Wei family would not necessarily consider it. Wei Xuan

I was surprised that my father brought such a trivial matter to the family meeting. Could it be that his mentality has changed and he is ready to change the general direction of the family? Is this a signal to everyone?

Looking at the looks cast by everyone, Wei Xuan smiled awkwardly and said: "Sir, Xu Huang is not an ordinary light knight. He is a rare hero in Hedong. His bravery may not be as good as that of Tong Shi, but on the battlefield he is

The lethality will definitely not be lost to that of Tong Shi. What is commendable is that this man is young and knows soldiers. The last time he went to Huoshan to suppress bandits, he was the vanguard. He led the caravan and was surrounded by three times the bandits. He immediately moved the grain truck away.

For the outer circle formation, he led more than 40 light knights to protect the county soldiers and archers, but they did not let more than 400 bandits break through. When Xuan arrived with reinforcements, he immediately judged the battlefield situation, led his troops to break through, and directly attacked the bandits.

The bandits were defeated. If this man can grow up, his commanding ability will be no less than that of today's Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei!"

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise again, especially Wei Tong and Wei Zheng. Wei Tong was surprised by Xu Huang's lethality on the battlefield. He knew that duel and melee were different, and his master Tong Yuan was very capable in duel.

.Looking at the second brother’s comment, Xu Huang would not be assigned to Tong Yuan purely in terms of force.

Wei Zheng was surprised by Wei Xuan's evaluation of Xu Huang's ability as a commander. Among the people present, Wei Xuan was the only one who knew military skills among them all, but he actually compared Xu Huang to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who had fought in the Yellow Turban Uprising. They were famous all over the world before, and their successful suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising made the two of them the most famous generals in the Han Dynasty today!

If Xu Huang can surpass Huangfu Song in literature and Tong Yuan in martial arts, of course he deserves to be the daughter of the family! Especially if Wei Xuan swears that it is too plain to sweep Hedong in a matter of seconds. Of course, he cannot be allowed to think about it until he reaches the level of success and fame that Huangfu Song has. Now is a good opportunity to get up and beg someone, and marrying a daughter is the best way to win over someone. Ordinary nobles and nobles cannot refuse to be the daughter of a family, let alone a warrior.

Wei Ning glanced at his father and asked Wei Xuandao: "Zhongdao, you haven't been in contact with that person for a long time, how did you make such a judgment? What if Xu Huang was just flattering you, but was rude behind him? If you are unbearable, doesn’t it mean that you have wronged me as a family daughter?”

Wei Xuanxin said that one of Boss Cao's five good generals could kill many enemies with a single axe. Now he is naturally better than Huangfu Song and others, but if you give him ten years, you will see his height. After thinking for a while, he said : "If Xu Huang had known how to flatter him, he would have been at least a county captain by now. He was appreciated by the county magistrate and made a pavilion chief at the age of sixteen, and he did not move for seven years! Needless to say, this man's bravery was witnessed with his own eyes on the battlefield. See, how many of my knights have been convinced to lose in daily competitions.

Xuan once went to Huangsha Pavilion where he worked. It can be said that it is the cleanest pavilion Xuan has ever seen. Although he does not go there often, the people below are orderly. Huangsha Pavilion is also famous in Yang County. This is enough This shows his ability to control his subordinates. Although the battle in Huoshan was uneventful, Xu Huang's role in it cannot be underestimated. It was precisely because of his presence that I dared to lead people to take advantage of the plan.

Xuan thinks that he has traveled with Master Zheng for four years and has met countless people, so this person will definitely become a great person!"

"How old is he?" Weining's voice was a little urgent.

"Twenty-three. Seven years ago, when he was sixteen years old, he was appreciated by the then county magistrate and became the head of Huangsha Pavilion. However, the Xu family is just an ordinary family, and he is famous for his martial arts. He was obsessed with this and was not promoted."

When Wei Su saw that Wei Le and his son were both interested in Xu Huang, he couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans?"

Wei Le said with a smile: "Zhong Dao's idea is actually good. If it weren't for the hero Tong, what would our Wei family look like now? If it weren't for him, Wang Yue might have come to kill him for the second time. If this person really had General Huangfu, then Isn’t my talent worthy of that of my daughter from the Wei family?

It just so happens that Zi'er has admired heroes since she was a child, and now that she's older, she talks all day about marrying a man like Brother Tong. If Xu Huang can defeat Tong'er, I think she will definitely not object. "

At this moment, Wei Zheng remembered that he had a sister from home. No wonder his father and brother were very curious about Xu Huang. His sister really liked knights, but after all, Xu Huang was a martial artist. Wei Xuan said that this person would definitely become a great weapon. Who can say for sure what will happen in a few years or more? What's more, the Wei family has many ways to win over warriors, including recruiting them as guests or recommending them as officials. So he is the most passive among the three father and son, but both father and brother have them. My sister happened to like the idea, so it was hard for him to object.
