Chapter 118

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Ren Ning carelessly taught Lei Er to be the referee.

After consulting the lieutenant general, he rode on Zhuifeng and prepared to leave Yingshan Camp with Xiao Gang.

"Wait, wait!" The two had just arrived at the gate of Daying Gate, when Lei Er's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Ren Ning looked back.

Two large shallow pits were dug one zhang inside and one zhang outside the gate of Daying.The shallow pits are filled with thick seawater to sterilize people or horses entering and exiting.

Lei Er stood beside the puddle with his waist pinched, panting and beckoning, "I forgot to tell you just now that the fried chestnuts in Nanshu City are delicious. Remember to bring some for me when I come back."

"Remember to go to Yuqian Street to buy the kind that is stir-fried with garlic. Don't buy the kind from other streets. The other ones are cooked by hawkers in laziness and then stir-fried. It's not delicious at all."

Ren Ning, Xiao Gang and a few soldiers guarding the gate of the camp stared blankly at Lei Er, who was sweating profusely, with strange expressions on his face.

"Are you chasing after him just to talk about this?" Ren Ning scolded.

Yingshan Daying, with more than 3 people, covers a vast area.

Lei Er didn't have time to summon Ben Lei, so he ran all the way on his two feet in such a hurry, it was not an easy task.

"Why?" Lei Er was puzzled: "As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. If this is not important, what is important?"

Ren Ning and the two were speechless for a while, silently nodded their praises and then rode northward.

In the evening, the two entered the guerrilla general's mansion in a hurry.

"Happy New Year, both young masters." The happy-faced Steward Li greeted him, and exchanged a few words with Ren Ning.

When Ren Ning and the others arrived in Nanshu City a few months ago, the Guerrilla General's Mansion changed a lot.

Guests come and go every day, and the silver and silver tickets are driven into the mansion one by one, and the boxes are moved out, and finally turned into various new commodities.Although the goods shipped to the north will not be able to recover the cost for a while, the nearby Zhennanguan has already begun to generate benefits.

It can be said that this year is the most comfortable year for Butler Li.He no longer has to worry about the supply problem in the mansion as in previous years, and even faintly became the target of all parties in Nanshu City.

The only thing that made him scratch his head was the marriage between the eldest son and the eldest girl.

Time flies, another year in the blink of an eye, and there is no fourth generation in the entire Guerrilla General's Mansion...

Ren Ning was also polite, and asked directly after sitting down: "Housekeeper, is your girl coming back for the New Year?"

Butler Li felt happy and then bitter, "Back to Mr. Ren, the eldest girl has not come back for the New Year, but there is a letter to go home."

After speaking, he ran back to get Li Hezhu's letter.

Ren Ning waved his hand and refused, "This is a letter from your Guerrilla General's House, what do you want me to do?"

In the end, he only wanted the letter written by Yingpan, and at the same time handed the family letter from Uncle Zhongyong's residence to Xiao Gang who was pulling his neck beside him.

Several families chose to cooperate. Although the money has not yet started to make a lot of money, they inevitably have to work part-time as postmen for Ren Ning and Xiao Gang when they travel south and north.

Same as last time, Xiao Gang couldn't wait to read the letter from home, while Ren Ning ate calmly, still did not choose to open the letter face to face.

After he settled down in the guest house, he sat down and read the letter slowly.

This time the letter is a few pages longer than last time, and Yingpan described the situation at home in detail.For example, her little red horse has grown up, which attics have been renovated, and how many acres of land have been bought, etc.

Ren Ning didn't feel bored either, and read slowly.

The second half of the letter talked about some recent events in the imperial capital.

"My lord, the whole of Yunchui has been restless recently. Just as His Majesty closed his pen to prepare for the New Year, a rare earthquake (earthquake) occurred in Qingshi County in the central west."

"The mountain collapsed and the post road was destroyed. The life and death of most ordinary people in the county are still unknown. However, it has been found that at least eighteen iron mines have collapsed on a large scale, and the miners have hardly escaped."

"Princess Yiguang said that so many mines have been destroyed, it is estimated that Yunchui's weapons and equipment manufacturing will be delayed in recent years."

Ren Ning touched his waist pocket subconsciously.

Because Nanshu City is not far away, he didn't bring Yunchui map with him when he came out.But he also knew about Qingshi County, which is known as the county of iron mines.

It was full of mines, almost no food was produced, and transportation was inconvenient.

Its south and west are full of high mountains, and its north is the famous foggy wetland.The mined ore has to be transported eastward.

In the early years, the empire had discussed building a north-south road in Misty County to lead to Qingshi County.However, the Misty Wetland is a terrain that is long from north to south and short from east to west. The cost of building roads to the south is really too high, and finally nothing is done.

Trouble!
Ren Ning scratched his head.

A lot of medicine houses in Baihua County were burned down, and now the earthquake has destroyed the iron mines in Qingshi County, and the epidemic in Yunzhong County has not yet subsided.Seeing that the rainy season is coming soon, if the central and eastern counties are flooded...

If he didn't have a modern soul, it would be inevitable to wonder whether it was the emperor's inhumanity that caused God to punish Yun Chui.

really.

"During the epidemic in Yunzhong County, the third prince, Chen Xiuzhu, stayed in Xingluo County to appease people's hearts and became king. This time, the earthquake in Qingshi County, several princes are trying their best to go to rescue the disaster. I heard that there is a lot of noise in the imperial study every day, and His Majesty has not It has not been decided which prince to send there."

Seeing this, Ren Ning was silent.

Earthquakes are just a few days or even a few hours of golden rescue time. At this time, the weather is freezing and the people have nothing to eat and wear. If it drags on, the whole Qingshi County will become a desperate land, which is much more terrifying than the epidemic in Yunzhong County. .

Anger is all about anger, but Ren Ning can't do anything, so he can only continue to look down.

"During the Empress Dowager's birthday, the neighboring countries sent missions to celebrate her birthday, and signed a large number of peace and friendship agreements. However, after hearing that the Xingluo Army was transferred to Zhennan Pass, the Beixiong Empire's army has gone south. "

"The entire upper circle of the imperial capital is worried, and they are worried that the Yanhui Legion will not be able to withstand it."

Ren Ning shook his head hey.

Goose Hui, as the name suggests, wild geese fly north here.

Like Yumu County, it is the two northernmost counties in Yunchui.

In August last year, the Starfall Legion was originally supposed to be transferred to the northern side of Yumu County, while the Wild Goose Legion was transferred to the west of the Yanbian Fortress.

As a result, the emperor changed his mind.

The Starfall Legion arrived at Zhennan Pass, but the Wild Goose Legion returned north to their hometown.

Back in my hometown, it is said that I have the advantage of a favorable location and harmonious people, but the Wild Goose Army can't even stop Xiaonan Feng.Facing Beixiong's army, which was no less than that of Xiliang, no one dared to place too much hope on them.

Imperial study room

Although it was still a New Year's Eve outside, the imperial study room was crowded with people.

"King Beixiong is really shameless. Just after signing the agreement, he sent 30 troops south. He also said that two soldiers were missing and he wanted to come and find someone."

With a whole army of 30, how could they dare to dispatch casually without preparing for a few months in advance.

Finding the missing soldier or something is really too fake.

The King of Qin stood up and said, "Father, you must first settle down when fighting against the outside world. Only with a stable rear can we support the front to the maximum. Now that the earthquake in Qingshi County has caused the lives and deaths of the people in the county to be unknown, they are in urgent need of rescue from the court. There are also discussions in other places. Why don't you decide on candidates for disaster relief first, and open warehouses for disaster relief."

Emperor Changxing's expression was gloomy.

People everywhere are talking about it, what are they talking about?
It was said that the Empress Dowager's birthday last year caused a epidemic in Yunzhong County; seeing that the year that the people were most looking forward to was approaching, a serious earthquake occurred in Qingshi County.

This world is very uneasy...
