Chapter 71 The sincerity of the Guo Mansion

Not knowing the complicated thoughts of the two little beauties at home, Li Yu lies on the bed early and falls asleep. He deals with the banquet all night and watches the scenery with Li Mu for so long. He is indeed a little tired.

Three days after the palace performed martial arts, the coalition forces of the four countries left Handan and returned to various countries.

As the city lieutenant, Li Yu did not go to see him off, but instead sat in the city guards to constantly direct his city guards to search Handan City, trying to find out the details of the personnel of various countries stranded in Handan City. Even if they did not reveal them openly, they would have to figure out their location and personnel, which could be considered as a spy in this era.

After two months as the city lieutenant, Li Yu realized that he had to take care of enough things in this position, from the security of the entire Handan City to the details of every Handan people, he had everything. I really don’t know what else can be managed by the Handan County Government? Is it just to collect household taxes and cut off civil cases? It seems that the household taxes in Handan City have been exempted this year, and the Handan County Government is really idle.

However, although there are too many things, Li Yu has no complaints. He is willing to make money every month, no matter how hard or tired he is.

There were tens of thousands of households in Handan City, and all the households could not be counted for a while. Li Yu led his personal guards to the busy city guard mansion and started shopping on the streets in the name of patrolling Handan City.

The Zhao people were martial, and although their figure was not as tall as that of the Qin people, they revealed a strong aura everywhere. Even the women walking on the streets were generous and decent, which was a little different from the people of other countries.

Handan City attracts fugitives and gold diggers from all countries with its extremely prosperous handicraft industry, and the people of all countries can be seen everywhere. The inclusive Zhao State treats it with its citizens, and even the Hu people are safe and secure. The people of all countries live in harmony and have no prejudice. Compared with the Qin State, which has strict laws and extremely xenophobic laws, Zhao State is more suitable to be a pioneer in unifying the world, so that people of all countries can be more acceptable to them.

He did not ride a horse, but just took a group of guards in regular clothes to walk on the crowded streets. Li Yu, who had been reborn in this era for two years, integrated into this ancient prosperity for the first time.

"Brother Xu, do you think this pottery is better than the other countries?" Li Yu, who held a small bottle of porcelain he had just purchased, knelt in front of a table on the second floor of the restaurant, asked Xu An opposite him.

"I don't know."

"oh."

Only then did Li Yu remember that Xu An had also been in the army since he was a child and had not had many soldiers who had contacted society. The questions he asked were a bit irrelevant.

"General, the restaurant in this restaurant is here to pay a visit." Li Yu was eating wine and food to see the scenery downstairs, and a personal guard guarding outside the door walked into the room and reported.

"Let him come in." Unexpectedly, Li Yu, who was not well-known and exposed, became a little interested.

"The servant has met Chengwei." As soon as the restaurant owner walked in, he knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Please get up."

"Xie Chengwei."

After looking at the restaurant's store, Li Yu saw that although he was wearing a plain uniform, his face was clean and he was quite decent, not like an ordinary restaurant owner.

"I wonder how the store owner recognized me?" Li Yu shook the small wine glass in his hand, but instead asked curiously.

"I dare not deceive the Chengwei, my subordinates are the head of the Guo Mansion. I happened to come to this building to check today. I never thought that I would meet the Chengwei, which is really a blessing for my subordinates." To the young general in front of me, Le Zheng's words were respectful but not despicable.

"It was the head of the Guo Mansion, but I was a little rude." When he heard the other party say it was the head of the Guo Mansion, Li Yu suddenly thought of the famous Guo family in Handan City. It was an iron smelting family that was rich enough to rival a country. More than 80% of Zhao **fang's military weapons came from him. Unexpectedly, the Guo family reached out to the restaurant industry. No wonder they claimed to be rich enough to compete with a country.

"Zhengwei praised me, my master wants to invite Chengwei to come to the mansion to gather. I wonder if Chengwei is free?" Le Zheng took out a cowhide bag from his arms, then took out an invitation from it and handed it to Li Yu.

After taking the invitation made of pure gold, Li Yu opened it and saw two lines of words. The person who signed it was the head of the Guo family. He did not answer whether to go to the banquet. Instead, he asked with great interest: "The head brings this invitation with you?"

"My master is afraid that my family's master will come to invite him too rashly, so he ordered all the officials and shop officials in the mansion to carry invitations with him in case of emergency. He did not expect that the servants would meet the Chengwei first." Without hiding anything, Le Zheng said it out in detail, showing the sincerity of the Guo family towards Li Yu.

After hearing the other party's words, Li Yu suddenly felt a little annoyed. The Guo family shops are all over Handan, and each officer has an invitation, at least no less than a hundred people. The invitation alone costs hundreds of gold. The wealthy family's actions are indeed a cannon to kill mosquitoes, which is extraordinary.

"The great attack Yin is so kind that after erecting the monument, I will go there from now."

"The servant will go back to the house and tell the master."

"good."

When the head of the company left the room, Li Yu handed the invitation to the guard and put it in. It was all money. If he gave all the hundreds of invitations, it would make a lot of money. It would be a waste.

With a little regretful thought, Li Yu quickly eliminated the food in front of him. Although the taste of this food is not as rich as that of his previous life, it is absolutely natural and pollution-free, which is better than anything else.

After drinking and eating, Li Yu slowly walked back to the General's Mansion. However, the Handan City was too big. Half an hour later, Li Yu still got on the horses that his personal guards had been carrying and rode back to the General's Mansion.

As soon as the four** teams left, Zhao State began a new round of military expansion, which increased the military pay by two levels and attracted many people from Zhao State and foreign people to join the army, including many foreign Hu people.

It is indeed the least xenophobic country. Since King Wuling of Zhao, Hufu and Cavalry, Zhao defeated Lin Hu, Lou Fan and destroyed Zhongshan. The number of Hu people in the country suddenly increased, almost hundreds of thousands. In order to better control the Hu people, King Wuling of Zhao did not regard the defeated Hu people as slaves, but gave them equal power with the people of the Great Zhao people, and regarded them as their people, inclusive and conquered the Hu people with an extremely broad mind. This move allowed the Hu people who were included in the territory to quickly pacify the Hu people. All Hu people integrated into Zhao with extremely passionate enthusiasm, and at the same time, the national strength of Zhao State developed rapidly and had strong military strength. In less than a few decades, they became one of the most powerful countries in the world. The cavalry was the most powerful.

This expansion has enlarged 150,000 new young and strong people. The Jinyang permanent army expanded to 50,000 before the Battle of Changping, Zhongmu permanent army expanded to 100,000, while the Wu'an permanent army and Wucheng permanent army guarding Handan each reduced to 40,000. The newly recruited Shangdang defenders also needed to recruit 100,000 permanent army.
