Chapter 607

Perhaps, many people would not understand giving up such a good opportunity to leave the dangerous situation in a justifiable way.

Cui Youbo believes that the eldest princess' mother-in-law who intercedes for him may be angry with him for "knowing what to do", but his wife will understand him and help him explain in front of the elders.

So, after Cui Youbo wrote the secret book to the emperor, he wrote a letter to his wife who was far away in the capital to explain it.

Because what he said was from the heart, Cui Youbo wrote extremely smoothly, almost without adding any points.

After writing the letter, he gently blew on the ink-stained letter paper, and when the ink was dry, he carefully folded it, rolled the folded paper into a roll, and carefully stuffed it into a special wood grain cylinder.

This letter box is specially used for Yaozi to deliver letters. He used it when he met Li Rong and wrote to him (actually to Xiao Nan).

At that time, he had a thought, and suggested to his wife, imitating Li Rong's letter box, that he ordered the craftsmen of Cui's family to make a batch of identical ones, keep two for his own use, and send the rest to Yaozifang.

It also stipulates that for all customers who buy kites, Yaofang will give away two letter boxes for free, so that customers can use them for communication.

During that time, Xiao Nan was only busy with the affairs of the college, and neglected the business of Yaofang for a while. After listening to Cui Youbo's suggestion, he felt that it was reasonable, and immediately sent a special mailbox to Yaofang.

After a few days, Hou Erlang reported that the letterbox is very popular because the material used to make the letterbox is excellent, and it is not broken by a knife or an axe. Once it is locked, no one without a key will be able to open the letterbox. The security of the letter.

In this way, even if the kite delivering the letter is caught or shot by someone in an accident, of course this is almost impossible, but there are contingencies in everything. With the mailbox in place, my letters will not be checked by irrelevant people.

Later, some people even went out to buy kites in order to obtain such letter boxes, and the business of kite workshop became even more prosperous for a while.

This time when he came to Shanzhou, Cui Youbo brought not only two kites, but also four pairs of letter boxes like this one. The letters to Jingzhong and Luoyang were also completed by them.

After using it for a long time, Cui Youbo vaguely came up with an idea, but it was not yet mature, and after he had completely cleared up his thoughts, he gave a memorial to the emperor.

Although he didn't want to go back to the capital, he didn't want to be too far away from the emperor, even if he harassed the emperor with secret papers from time to time, lest the relationship between him and the emperor would gradually fade as time passed.

Cui Mingbo stood quietly at the side, watched Cui Youbo finished writing the letter, and saw that he had nothing to do, so he leaned over to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Suchun, what do you mean, they really know how to do it?"

He pointed his finger in the direction of Yaochi, the same sentence, until the day when He Lu really took action, they should be cautious when speaking.

Cui Youbo nodded, and said with some seriousness: "It's almost late autumn now, and winter will soon come. Once winter comes, everything on the grassland will be silent, and the ten divisions that have just been integrated over there need a lot of food, grass, salt and iron... ..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. In the end, Cui Mingbo tried his best to hear Cui Youbo's whisper: "If it were me, I would also choose to do it in winter. You just wait, one month at the earliest, or two months later , there must be movement over there."

Cui Mingbo's expression changed immediately, his lips trembled slightly, and an inexplicable fear came to his heart.

We can't blame him for being timid. When he was born, the world was already at peace. Although there were occasional wars, they were far away from him.

Therefore, all along, Cui Mingbo never thought that one day he would have anything to do with war.

Although Uncle Cui Ze told him some things in advance before coming here, but at that time, he only had a very vague concept of war, and he was more concerned about his personal future and the revitalization of his family business.As for whether it was dangerous or not, he really didn't think much about it.

There is Cui Youbo in front of him, what is he afraid of? !

But at this moment, he was thousands of miles away in the northwest frontier, and the cloud of war was floating over little by little, and a fear suddenly rose in his heart.It's an animal instinct, not guts.

Cui Youbo felt Cui Mingbo's fear, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, he leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "In a few days, King Wei will return to Beijing, you can go back with him!"

Cui Mingbo was startled, but immediately understood, his fair skin was flushed, and his body trembled slightly.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Suchun, since I chose to come with you, I decided to follow you to the end. So, wherever you are, I will be there. I have brothers, and I already have a son—" You don't have to worry about the incense in your home being cut off, and you don't have to worry about your grandmother being left alone.

Cui Youbo looked at his clan brother fixedly, seeing his clear eyes and calm expression, he nodded slowly, stretched out his hand to caress Cui Mingbo's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

In the next few days, Cui Youbo used the same Fang name to hint to several other aides, especially the four students, and he tried his best to persuade them to go back to Beijing with Wei Wang's guards.

Li Yong and the other four little guys shook their heads like rattles, just kidding, what are they doing here?Isn't it just to make contributions?

They are about to see the real chapter, but they have to go back to Beijing. In this way, they still have a P skill.

Don't leave, don't leave even if you are killed!

Seeing the resolute attitude of the students, Cui Youbo ordered each of them to write a letter to their families and report the situation here in detail. It is best to listen to the opinions of the elders in the family on how to choose.

Anyway, the four little guys all brought their own kites. It was so convenient to write letters. From Shanzhou to the capital, it took almost three or two days to make a round trip.

The four of them had no choice but to listen to their master's words, and wrote letters to their families that night. Two days later, when King Wei's troops were about to leave, the family's replies arrived one after another.

To say that the parents who can raise such a militant child are not idiots. After reading the son's letter, the fathers and grandfathers of several families are very excited. They are different from women and pay more attention to the future of their son and the prosperity of the family. Therefore, They all expressed their agreement to stay in Shanzhou.

Of course, after all, he is a child of his own family, and as a father and grandfather, he still has to say 'be careful in everything' and 'obey Cui Langjun's command in everything'.

It can be said that the eight people Cui Youbo brought were very bloody. They all knew that the danger was approaching, and after a short period of fear, they all chose to stay with Cui Youbo.

Therefore, when King Wei returned to Beijing that day, he only took away his prince's staff and guards.

After sending off the king of Wei, and receiving a letter from Beijing, seeing that the emperor and the lady supported him, Cui Youbo finally let go of the big stone hanging in his heart.Roll up your sleeves and work harder to prepare for the battle.

First, there is the issue of defense.

Cui Youbo ordered Cui Yanbo, the newly appointed foreman, to recruit river workers and craftsmen to clean, dredge and repair the moat.

The recruitment this time is not a labor service, but a paid employment. However, all strong and mature men can sign up. Each person is [-] Wen per day, including food and housing. At that time, in Shanzhou, Definitely a high salary.

Moreover, in order to let the common people have no scruples and worry that this is a disguised form of labor labor imposed by the government, Cui Youbo simply brought out baskets of copper coins and put them in the recruitment office. Anyone who signed up can receive a month's salary first.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the prestige of Cui Youbo, the new governor. After a month of hard work, in Huangshui, his personal prestige value has reached the highest.

Especially in the past few days, he opened the gate of the state government office and dealt with the complaints of a group of people in a timely and fair manner. Regardless of the background of the defendants and the backers behind them, as long as they are verified, they will all be severely punished.

With an iron fist, the official atmosphere in Huangshui was completely cleared up, and the people's trust and respect for the new governor reached the peak.

Therefore, Cui Youbo recruited hundreds of people in only three days, and some of them came from other counties after hearing the news.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the common people, Cui Yanbo couldn't help admiring: No wonder, some time ago, my cousin didn't care about any general affairs, but he took up the lawsuit with his own hands, so it turned out to be the first time to win the hearts of the people.

With manpower, Uncle Cui let go of his support without hesitation of money. The river workers have fish and meat, hot soup and hot rice to eat every day. Although it is early winter, the moat outside the city is full of activity.

In addition to widening and digging the moat, Cui Youbo ordered craftsmen to repair the city walls, and according to Xiao Nan's reminder, set up forts on several city gates.

Although he didn't know what the 'fort' the lady was talking about, he was convinced that his wife didn't ask anything, and directly handed over the blueprint given by Xiao Nan to the masons, and asked them to build according to it.

At the same time, the expansion of the granary and the storage of grain were carried out.

Cui Youbo even ordered that the grain tax be reduced by [-]% this year, and he also told the farmers not to sell the underpaid grain, but to dig a cellar and store it properly.

Secondly, it is the training of the soldiers.

In addition to drawing soldiers from each household as usual, Uncle Cui also organized idlers on the street, rangers, and prisoners in the prison, and incorporated them into the soldiers to participate in training together.

On the first day when the army soldiers practiced, Cui Youbo spoke in public, and he told everyone, especially those 'unconventional' soldiers, that as long as everyone practiced hard, killed the enemy, and made meritorious service, he would be able to do everything he had done in the past. The pen is ticked off.

But if anyone disobeys orders and starts thinking carefully, then don't blame Cui Suchun for being ruthless.

In this regard, everyone had no doubts, the nine hanging heads were like a billboard, very strikingly reminding everyone: The new governor is not a vegetarian!

Thanks to Cui Youbo's hard work, the whole Shanzhou is busy and actively preparing for the battle.

Perhaps under the influence of Uncle Cui, Cheng Hong also wrote letters to his father from time to time, reminding him to make more preparations.

Time soon entered December.

On this day, Cui Youbo was going to lead his troops with Cheng Hong to attack the other two county towns in order to check the results. Suddenly, news came: Ashina Helu led an army to invade Tang and plunder Xizhou and Tingzhou...
