The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

Chapter 100 Victory in the first battle, a lot of gains!
"Expanding the army is easy and difficult to raise soldiers. Now that we have come to Lingnan, we have a new understanding of the poverty in Lingnan. Under the premise that taxes cannot support the current officials and soldiers, what will the mother and concubine plan to use to raise soldiers?"

Thinking of the current situation in Lingnan, Li Chengmu is in a state of desperation, not to mention the two heads of the palace.

Xia Jing nodded: "You are thinking about the problems we are currently facing. If you want to solve various problems in Lingnan, it is basically a problem of money. As long as we solve the problem of money, other problems can be easily solved."

Li Chengmu sighed tiredly. This matter is easy to say, but the real difficulty is money. "It would be great if Lingnan was as prosperous as Jingzhou. Letting Yuan Rujiang sit in the position of governor of Jingzhou is really cheap for him."

Xia Jing couldn't help laughing: "There is Jingzhou in the south of Lingnan, so the imperial court will not regard it as your father's fiefdom."

The taxes in Lingnan are pitifully low, and the imperial court doesn't pay much in taxes, and they have to allocate a sum of money every year to raise soldiers in Lingnan.

The frontier state that pays so much money is the turn of King Qian.

The most important thing is that the focus of the imperial court's raising troops is still in the north. The northern peoples are tough and wild, and they often invade the border, which gives the imperial court a sense of crisis.

There are small tribes with tens of thousands of people in the south. Even if they invade the border, it is only a small matter. It is no wonder that the imperial court pays attention to it!
As soon as Yuan Rujiang was mentioned, Xia Jing reminded him solemnly: "Yuan Rujiang is a person in power who should not be underestimated. The Jingzhou jurisdiction is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and South China. The climate in this area is suitable, and most of the geographical terrain It is flat and is a high-yield grain area. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the world's granary.

If there is chaos in the world in the future, then he will be a prince who dominates one side and will become our strong enemy. "

Of course, Lingnan still can't attract his interest at present!

Li Chengmu noticed Xia Jing's frown, and comforted him with a smile: "Lingnan is also very large, and it is currently at a disadvantage, but my son believes in you and my father. Under the governance of you and my father, Lingnan will pass a few days It will take off in the same year."

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing felt relieved, and burst out laughing, "You are quite confident."

Li Chengmu laughed, and when talking about the situation in the world, he was always curious about, "Mother, do you think the emperor still has a chance to move the court back to Gyeonggi?"

Xia Jing straightened her cuffs, leaned on the couch, looked at the cloudless sky outside the car window, and sighed, "How difficult this matter is!"

Not to mention that Beidi soldiers and horses are still stationed in Beijing, even if Beidi retreats to the grassland, when these barbarians retreat, how can they know whether they will destroy the capital.

If the capital is destroyed, where will the imperial court move back?

The capital is being rebuilt, and the world is waiting for new ones. Money is needed everywhere. Where does the court get money for construction?
The reality is cruel. The chances of the imperial court moving back to the capital are slim. Even if they want to move back, it will be possible after many years, when the imperial court's financial resources and force have reached their peak.

Everything is false without money, just like Lingnan's current situation, just like her current situation.

A bucket of rice stumps a hero!

The former thousand strong men were reorganized into Xia Jing's own personal guards. If they were trained well, they would be an armed force that should not be underestimated.

"Lingnan is poor, and my concubine is also poor. If we don't think about it, our team will have nothing to eat tomorrow."

Seeing Xia Jing's expression, Li Chengmu raised his eyebrows and said, "So, what does the concubine mother plan to do?"

Xia Jing giggled, swept away the slump before, and sat up from the couch, "I really have a single business here, if it succeeds, it can temporarily alleviate the team's food problem."

Saying that, Xia Jing took out a parchment roll from the drawer.

After unfolding it carefully, Li Chengmu found that it was a map of Lingnan, and many places in it were marked with black charcoal.

"Mother Concubine, the places marked should be mountains and forests. What kind of place is this? Are there minerals?"

"mineral?"

Xia Jing nodded: "You have a good idea. When I get back, I will send people out to explore the ore veins. The mountains in the south of the Lingnan should not disappoint my concubine."

She remembered that in the last days, she watched a documentary about the history of mining in Lingnan. There are rich mineral veins in Lingnan, especially in the Nanling Mountains.

Li Chengmu was surprised, "What you marked here is not a mineral vein, what is that? Could it be a bandit den?"

Xia Jing snapped her fingers: "Smart, let me do what you want!"

Li Chengmu blushed a little, "Concubine Mu, you are not as boastful as you are."

Xia Jing clicked on a black mark on the map, "Come out this time and end this den."

I believe that the money and food in the bandit's den should be able to last for a while.

Li Chengmu looked at the map, then at Xia Jing, the concubine mother really had a good idea.

Coming out with the personal guard team can solve the food problem, exercise the team's combat ability, and clean up the banditry in the Lingnan area. It really kills multiple birds!
"Father has been suffering from financial difficulties all day long, why didn't he think of asking the guards to suppress the bandits?"

Xia Jing raised her head from the map and glared at him: "He can compare with me! How can I say that your cleverness followed me?"

Li Chengmu: "."

Lingnan has beautiful mountains and green waters, and the people are very poor, but the forces of all parties are not poor.

The first bandit den is located in Duandou Mountain.

Duandou Mountain, the mountain lives up to its name.

From a distance, its shape looks like a man who is poking up his buttocks and preparing to do somersaults, and the bandit den is on the top of his buttocks, which is also the top of the highest mountain.

It is said to be the top of the mountain, but in fact the top of the mountain is very flat, but the road up the mountain is very steep, which also makes Duandou Mountain easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The team stayed in a dense forest about ten miles away from Duandou Mountain, and asked everyone to bury their pots and cook to fill their stomachs first.

The spies reported back in the evening, and the team entered the range of Duandou Mountain in the afterglow of the sunset.

The road up the mountain is a canyon, and the bandits set up a total of three sentry posts on this road, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to touch the mountain.

But this time maybe Xia Jing and the others were lucky, because after the heavy rain two days ago, the stream in the canyon soared, causing the sentry to temporarily withdraw to the top of the mountain.

This situation greatly facilitated Xia Jing's personal guards.

Groping all the way in the dark and slowly approaching the top of the mountain, there are five people on duty at the last sentry post on the top of the mountain.

Ding Dazhuang is now the squadron leader of the guards, with a team of 100 people. He selected five guards with good skills from his team, and they slowly approached the sentry post.

With the lights in the dark, Xia Jing's mental power was released, and she clearly investigated the situation of the sentry post.

Ding Dazhuang led five guards and quickly rushed into the sentry post to deal with several people. When one of them wanted to shout, Xia Jing, who had been paying attention to them, blocked his mouth with a supernatural power, making him want to shout but not shouting.

The team went to the top of the mountain, and the bandit den with three or 400 people was solved in a surprise attack by a thousand guards.

On the front lawn of the cottage, more than 200 bandits who surrendered voluntarily were tied up, and all other bandits who resisted were hacked and killed.

Except for the guards at Qianping who guarded the bandits, the guards were all searching for supplies.

Xia Jing led the two maids into the hall, looked up and saw the plaque on the door, "Loyalty Hall, the name is well chosen, but what you can do is not about loyalty!"

The furnishings in the lobby are all rough things, the only valuable thing may be the tiger skin on the first place.

Hongmei walked over to look at the tiger skin and exclaimed, "I never thought there would be such a good skin in this remote village."

Xia Jing stepped forward to look at the tiger skin, and said rather disgustingly: "I'm so old, the tiger hair has lost a lot of hair, even if I give it to me."

I really don't understand how the temperature is so high in Lingnan, the bandit leader of Tundou Mountain sits on the tiger skin and doesn't get hot sores on his buttocks?

"Princess, don't you want this tiger skin? Sitting on it is really majestic."

"You like it when you go back, be careful that your little butt gets sores from the heat."

Hongmei: "It's really possible."

Baimei covered her mouth and snickered.

"Hey, there's a back door here." Xia Jing found the back door, raised her foot and walked towards the back door.

After going out the back door, the back door is not the backyard they imagined, but directly to the back mountain, the top of the mountain is very windy.

"Like the weather in Lingnan, it's very cool to live on the top of the mountain, and there are no mosquitos at night when the mountain wind is strong."

Hongmei persuaded: "Princess, the back mountain is dark without lights, let's go to the front."

Xia Jing walked around randomly, released her psychic powers, and checked the surroundings, but found nothing.

Several people re-entered the lobby, exited the lobby, and began to explore other places.

After searching the entire cottage, no hidden secret rooms were found.

Coming to Qianping again, Fang Ji took a step forward to report: "Princess, we found a dungeon in the cottage, where many people were imprisoned. Women, what do you think should be done?"

Fang Ji, tall and well-versed in martial arts, is the squadron leader of Xia Jing's personal guards. Like Ding Dazhuang, he has a hundred guards under him.

"Women?" After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jing understood the role of these women, "Just open the prison door and let them out. From now on, she will go or stay according to their own wishes."

"How many materials have we confiscated this time?" This is what Xia Jing wants to know most.

Fang Ji had a serious face, and when he mentioned the seized supplies, his eyes lit up with a smile: "More than two thousand loads of various grains, two boxes of silver ingots, fifty gold ingots, more than ten thousand copper coins, and twenty pieces of cloth and satin. horses, and the rest are some weapons, farm implements and ironware."

Xia Jing laughed when she heard this, "Oh, that's all?"

A smile appeared on Fang Ji's cold face, "Finally, we found out that these bandits had raised fifty horses at the stables in the back mountain."

"There are still horses?" Xia Jing was taken aback, she really didn't expect a group of bandits to be so rich.

With this batch of supplies, her personal guards will not have to worry about food shortages for at least three months.

In particular, he earned fifty horses for nothing. You must know that there are not many horses in the south.

Now in her private property, there are only more than 20 horses, and these horses were bought along the way when she was recruiting young men.

Fang Ji had light in his eyes, "The subordinates never thought that there would be so many horses in this humble bandit den. It's really a windfall."

Xia Jing nodded excitedly: "Well, it's a surprise, it's just convenient for us to transport these supplies back."

After cleaning up the spoils and transporting them to the foot of the mountain, it was already dawn.

Everyone rested in place, ate some dry food to fill their stomachs, and then set off again.

Li Chengmu looked up at the rising sun from the east, and sighed regretfully in his heart. He thought he could watch the sunrise on the sea today, but who would have thought that his mother and concubine would bring everyone to raid the bandit's lair.

However, the win is a good harvest.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.

Arriving at Linhai Town with the bandits and supplies, Xia Jing arranged for some guards to guard the supplies at the inn, but she led the others to the beach more than ten miles away before dawn the next day.

Today she not only wants to watch the sunrise, but also wants to go to the sea to pick up good goods.

"Are there many fishing villages by the sea?" Xia Jing asked the guide she found from the town.

The guide smiled and replied: "Back to the princess, the fishing villages by the sea are not densely populated. The distance between the villages is about ten or twenty miles. Except for the in-laws, there is almost no communication between the villages. Of course, contact with outsiders is very important." It's even more impossible."

If he didn't know that the person in front of him was the princess, he wouldn't even want to talk to this group of foreigners.

Xia Jing nodded, the distance is too far, if there is no relative relationship, who would want to walk with people from other villages, it is human nature.

The magnificence of the sea shocked the mother and son. As the red sun jumped out from the sea level, it was so golden that the whole sea was covered with a layer of golden light.

The waves coated with a layer of golden light are beautiful, magical and shocking.

Li Chengmu became very popular in poetry, and he wrote three poems in a row to express his surging emotions. He followed Xia Jing on the white sand to catch the sea.

This beach is very flat, and the surrounding terrain is also flat, which is very suitable for building a sea salt drying base.

Xia Jing asked Ding Dazhuang to go to the yamen in the jurisdiction to inquire whether this beach is a private territory, if not, then it will be confiscated and belonged to the Qian Palace.

Whoever wants to buy this piece of land in the future may have no chance.

"Mother Concubine, what are you requisitioning this beach for?" Li Chengmu caught a big crab and wanted to run over to show off, just in time to hear Xia Jing's order to Ding Dazhuang.

"Salt it."

Xia Jing didn't hide anything from her own son about what she would do next.

"Salt?" Xia Jing looked at the sea in surprise, "How do you dry the salt?"

"Pfft!"

Xia Jing couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help raising her hand to tap his forehead, "Of course it's in the sun, how else do you think you can do it?"

Li Chengmu covered his forehead, "Of course my son knows that he is drying in the sun, what I mean is how?"

Xia Jing gave him a detailed explanation with a smile, "In fact, sea salt drying is very simple. When thinking of high-quality refined salt, it is nothing more than a few more processes."

Li Chengmu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "According to what my mother and concubine said, don't we own a golden mountain?"

As long as there is water in the sea, the mountains of gold and silver will never dry up.

"Well, when the Yantian is completed, I plan to give half of the shares to the mansion."

Now that she is nominally the concubine of King Qian, her whole body of honor and disgrace will be hung in the palace.

If Xia Jing wants to live a comfortable life in her later years, then only when Prince Qian's Mansion is strong can she live the life she wants to live.

Li Chengmu knew that it was the most difficult time for the palace, "Concubine Mu, this is your idea, I have no opinion on how you deal with it."

Xia Jing gave him a thumbs up in satisfaction, "My son cares about the overall situation the most."

The mother and son chatted while walking, and Xia Jing didn't stop until a large piece of algae appeared in front of her.

Li Chengmu also stopped, "What's wrong with the concubine mother?"

Xia Jing pointed to a large piece of dark green algae in front of her and said, "Ask someone to gather all these algae to the shore and spread them out to dry."
