The return of soldiers is equivalent to the current soldiers visiting relatives. They can be armoured and military cards, but long halberds and bows must be left in the army.

Northridge.

Under Xiao Yuan's order, Xu Hu also returned to his hometown.

When he came back, it was conceivable that the general returned to his hometown. The Beiling County Magistrate who heard the news hurriedly came out of the city. After seeing Xu Hu, he stepped forward quickly, bowed his hands, and bowed his waist to the end.

"I don't know if the general returns to his hometown and his subordinates are in a position to welcome him. I hope the general will forgive him."

Who is Xu Hu? He is Xiao Yuan’s near guard and is also the general of the Hu Guard. He has outstanding military achievements. If a small county magistrate does not favor him, that would be a strange thing!

At this time, the latter was not wearing armor, but in casual clothes, holding the reins of the horse, followed by two servants and followers, while the Beiling County Magistrate was wearing official uniforms. He knew at a glance that he was a local parent.

Seeing that the county magistrate was like this, Xu Hu was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Mr. County magistrate is so polite."

"Where is there, hurry up, general, please, the emperor has prepared a banquet to welcome the general." The magistrate of Beiling County hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand.

Under his flattery, Xu Hu was invited to the local county government as soon as he arrived in Beiling, and then the county officials and officials began to attend as accompaniment.

This is a situation in the officialdom, which is quite unacceptable to Xu Hu, but the other party was unable to refuse. He could not refuse, so he could only eat this banquet in embarrassment.

The next day, Xu Hu said goodbye to the county magistrate and prepared to return to the village where he gave birth to him and raised him to take a look. As a result, the Beiling County magistrate was shameless and insisted on being with him.

Xu Hu couldn't say anything, so he let him go.

This is a relatively remote village. It has been rampant by the Western Rong before, and Xu Hu's mother killed the enemy here.

However, after Xiao Yuan recovered the twelve cities, most of the indigenous residents who fled here returned to their hometowns one after another.

As soon as he entered the village, Xu Hu discovered many familiar faces.

At this moment, when hearing the news of Xu Hu returning home, almost all the young and old in the village surrounded him. When they saw Xu Hu, people wanted to come forward to say hello, but they all looked scared.

One of the old men was even trembling with crutches, and his old eyes looked at Xu Hu excitedly and said, "Hu Zi, we're back..."

As a result, before he finished speaking, the Beiling County Magistrate reached out and shouted loudly: "Bold and unruly people! This is the general of the Tiger Guard under the command of the lord! How dare you be so rude!"

You know, the county magistrate is wearing official uniforms, and there are many county guards following behind him. They are local parents and officials. In the eyes of the people, they are supreme existence.

Hearing his shout, you can imagine that the old man was shocked and stopped quickly at the same time, he also knelt down and said, "Yes, yes... the villain knows his guilt..."

As soon as he knelt down, the other people were frightened by the power of the county magistrate and knelt down in a hurry.

Xu Hu was so angry that he pushed away the county magistrate and said, "You! Get up!"

The county magistrate was pushed and almost fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to say anything. He kept saying: "Yes, yes, the subordinates knew that they were wrong..."

Xu Hu ignored him, but hurried forward, helped up a group of villagers, then looked at the old man and said excitedly: "Uncle Li, please get up quickly, Xu Hu can't afford it."

"Auntie Wang, get up quickly..."

"Hu Zi...you, you are already a general..."

"So what, you guys, you will always be Xu Hu's fellow villagers. When Xu Hu was a child, he caused trouble in the village a lot, and he relied on the care of all the villagers. Xu Hu always remembers the kindness here..."

He said this, and the villagers in the village were no longer so scared at this time. They couldn't help but gathered around and began to ask about their well-being.

A little boy also grabbed Xu Hu's clothes and raised his head and said in a slight voice: "Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu, I have grown up and I will join the army like you, make contributions on the battlefield, and shine on the family!"

"Okay! The boy is a little ambitious!" Xu Hu smiled cheerfully and touched the boy's head.

This day was undoubtedly a happy day for Xu Hu. Then, taking advantage of the journey back home, he moved his old mother's grave to his ancestral land.

In front of the newly established tombstone, Xu Hu knelt on the ground, holding the new soil, slowly covering the new tomb, and said in tears:

"Mom, I'm here to see you..."

"Now, my child has finally found a wise master and made achievements. It's a pity that he can no longer respect you..."

"Mom, you have worked hard to raise your children, but you have not been able to fulfill your filial piety..."

"Mom..."

As he was talking, Xu Hu was already crying sadly. The Beiling County Magistrate knelt behind him. He was obviously crying, but he used his official sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes and squeezed out a few drops.

After staying in Beiling for several days, Xu Hu was also preparing to return to Qinzhou, but before he left, the county magistrate carefully grabbed him and said, "The general returned to his hometown, and after a few days, how can he see how Beiling?"

I don't understand why he asked this, Xu Hu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is OK, but there are some population problems."

"Yes." The county magistrate followed and said, "General, Beiling needs to develop."

Hearing this, Xu Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "How to develop here, isn't this a problem for the county magistrate?"

"With that being said, the magistrate of Xiaoxiao County is a little slight, and the general is the general of the Hu Guard. If he is willing to put such a word in front of the lord, the prosperity of the Beiling is just around the corner." The county magistrate said again.

"What do you mean?" Xu Hu was puzzled.

The county magistrate quickly explained: "I heard that the lord has planned the county and county in Qin recently. If Beiling can be the county town..."

Xu Hu understood what he meant, and felt a little embarrassed: "But I don't understand this..."

"The general can tell the lord like this..." The county magistrate hurriedly came up.

A few days later, Xu Hu returned to Qinzhou.

At this time, Xiao Yuan also began to discuss the matter with Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo.

In the study room, the three of them were discussing. On weekdays, Xu Hu was originally guarding outside, but today he came in. However, Xiao Yuan naturally would not mind him.

Before Xiao Yuan took office, Qin had twenty-one counties, and now he has recovered twelve cities, which are thirty-three counties.

The territory of the thirty-three counties is still very large. Shangguan Wenruo said: "Under the current Qin county system, we can set up four counties and have about eight counties as one county. What do you think?"

"Yeah..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "There are six counties in Shu. In this way, Qin has ten counties. Can I choose the county town?"

"After discussing with Lord Liu, I have already had a general idea, but these need to be determined by the lord." Shangguan Wenruo said.
