Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 201 Circulation

Like Xu Du, Wang Hou also appointed Sun Tai and Wu Xian as mine supervisors, but Sun Tai was in charge of felling trees, and Wu Xian was in charge of digging coal. Counting the two men and the tenant farmers under his command, Wang Hou had almost 6 There are about [-] people, and a small half of the entire Taishan County is in his hands.

The only embarrassing thing is that Wu Xian's son happened to be unconvinced when he was stretching his tendons today, and challenged his boss, but he was cut off by that boy, and let his precious son with a bruised nose and a swollen face sit there Wu Xian clasped his fists to "thank" Wang Hou for taking care of him, his old face with a beard was a little stiff.

Fortunately, this guy has more than one son, and using the coal mine to redeem his son is just an excuse for him.

After a delicious meal, Wang Hou didn't let the two of them take any hostages, on the contrary, he even gave them a lot of silk and brocades from Langya County as a gift, and sent them back and forth cheerfully. go.

Early in the morning, I went out with Wang Hou to see him off, and watched them leave Longma Village with a large group of people. Once again, Jia Xu had a gloomy old face, as if someone owed him more than 80 taels of silver.

"Dong Weng's Tai Zhai has a kind heart! These Taishan thieves are capricious. To use the Guanzhong dialect, if you have milk, you are a mother! Now that Dong Weng has wiped out the Sifang Shanzhai, the military prestige has come, and these people have just surrendered. Dong Weng should Take advantage of this opportunity to recruit their troops, at least let them stay as hostages! Let them go in this way, once Chang Xi, Zang Ba or Yin Li return to Taishan County in the future, it is easy to cause repetitions! "

"Not one left?"

Looking at the boy with a bruised nose and swollen face waving goodbye to Wu Xian, who was still unconvinced, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched again uncontrollably.

"Wenhe, what do you think loyalty is?"

"There is a difference between the upper and lower levels, and the order of the superior and the inferior. A minister who serves the king is called loyalty!"

"Pull it down! Loyalty in my opinion is a constant benefit! A minister is loyal to the emperor because within this framework, the minister's family can be exchanged for a lofty status, a vast land and prosperity. I am loyal to Prime Minister Cao. It is also because the prime minister married his second daughter to me and granted me the official position in the field. Mr. Wen He is now living under me. On the one hand, I tied Mr. Wen He to this boat, and on the other hand, I, Wang, have some luck , follow me and have a chance to skyrocket, right?"

Jia Xu was choked again, what Wang Hou said was true, but what he said was too blatant, and he tore away all the gorgeous rhetoric used by Confucianism to cover up this exchange of interests, which made Jia Xu very surprised. While uncomfortable, there was nothing to refute.

On the contrary, it was Wang Hou who confidently stood on the top of the wall with his hands behind his back, watching the Taishan bandits leave with a proud smile on his face.

"This iron! The coal in the mountains and these big trees are worthless in their hands, no different from the stones under their feet, but in my hands, they can be turned into food, cloth, and money. , each person I share half of their benefits, relying on these, they don't need to fight for the poor survival resources, live a very nourishing life, without me, they have to go back to starve and freeze, even if they don't need them How can they be unfaithful to me when one person is a hostage?"

Not to mention, Wang Hou got rounded up with this bastard, but unfortunately, it wasn't Jia Dushi who bowed his head and bowed, but Jia Xu dragged his old face and pulled out the book from his pocket, reading it seriously. .

"If Dong Weng really has the ability to turn these things into food, then do so quickly! Of the 2 shi of corn brought from Langya, there are now only [-] shi left. If there is no new grain in the warehouse, we may not be able to make it through It's winter!"

"Uh..., is that all there is left?"

Immediately, he lost his image, grabbed his hair, and Wang Hou was in pain like a Grandet, yelling sadly.

"These pig heads are too edible!"

"It's not that Dong Weng you are too generous!"

…………

Things still developed in the direction Wang Hou wanted. Even if Wang Hou didn't let the two big thieves Wu Xian and Sun Tai leave any hostages, and didn't take the opportunity to exploit their army, but it is still in the period of Wang Hou's deterrence Within that time, the two returned to their cottage for more than 1000 days. Five hundred carts of coal and more than [-] giant trees in the mountain were all dragged to the foot of Longma Village.

However, due to the fact that the "liquid capital chain" is somewhat broken now, Boss Wang, who has made a big deal, had to issue an IOU.

The heavens still favored Wang Hou. The reason why he set up this Longma village as a stronghold was because it was not far from Pingyang, and near Kaiyang, it was next to Yishui River. Yishui River could flow down to Yangdu of Langya Kingdom. Near Yangdu, the Yishui River meets the Haihe River, and turning east from here is Ju County, which Zang Ba occupies.

There was a busy scene everywhere on the river beach. It happened that the giant Taishan logs sent by Sun Tai were tied together with ropes to form a raft. Then the coal mines and iron mines harvested from Mount Tai during this period, and many hunting in the mountains Tiger skin, deer skin, and wild boar skin were transported to the raft by Wang Hou's subordinates.

This time Wang Hou also brought two 3000-strong troops and [-] reserve soldiers to the south. Originally, Wang Hou planned to let Jia Xu stay in the stockade, but the old guy said that he would follow. He would like to see how Wang Hou put These iron ore, coal and wood were turned into food, there was no way, Wang Hou had to entrust the important task of staying behind to the civil servant Zhuge Lie and military general Zhao Yun who had just come over to take care of them.

"After I set off, the cottage will continue to build walls and dig iron, and you, Zhao, will continue to train your troops! Don't start a war lightly, but if someone dares to attack you, cut them to the death. Don't be soft!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

It was the first time he was entrusted with such great trust, Zhuge Lie was as excited as a young man who had just started working, he held his fists and bowed heavily, while Zhao Yun, an old fritter, was a little lazy, as if he had not woken Such a reply made Wang Hou give him an exasperated look.

But immediately, his eyes became gentle again, and he looked behind. In Wang Hou's eyes, Lu Ji gently lifted her skirt and bowed lightly.

This can be regarded as a check and balance of power, civil and military divisions, and his wife decides on major matters, but this time, he left Lu Ji to look after the house again, and boarded the board during the farewell of his subordinates. After getting on the raft and heading south, Wang Hou stared at Cao Xiaoniu beside him again.

"Look at others, know more about the general situation! You are so self-willed, you have to follow!"

Now Cao Hongjie is much more feminine, the lotus-colored deep dress and long skirt are standing beside a pile of goods, listening to Wang Hou's questioning, but this girl rolled her eyes greatly.

"That's because sister Lu knew she couldn't watch you, so I came to watch you instead. Besides, without Miss Ben covering you, how could you live so full of nourishment and vigor?"

"Cut! I am a majestic Qingzhou shepherd! Marquis of Duting! I still need you, a little girl, to cover me! You are not afraid... oh... oh... oh... ouch!"

I really can’t talk too much, before I finished the big words of the magic weapon, the raft under Wang Hou’s feet suddenly slammed on the rocks, and he staggered, and this guy fell headlong into the river with a gurgling, you know He couldn't swim, so he shook his head helplessly, and as soon as he took off his long skirt and jacket, Cao Hongjie also jumped into the water with a plop, and grabbed the guy's collar and pulled him onto the boat.

Sitting on the coal pile, watching the dignified Qingzhou shepherd yelling in the water, Jia Xu couldn't help raising his head and sighing. He also suddenly suspected that there was something wrong with his head, following such a Unreliable lord.

"Dong Weng, the rope! Grab the rope!"

…………

This time, nearly a dozen tons of goods were transported, and it took another seventeen or eight days before they entered Chengyang County from Taishan County, but Jia Xu was still getting more and more confused as he traveled, how much food could Zangba in Juxian County have?And even if Zang Ba has food, he can exchange these broken wood and stones with Wang Hou.

Amidst his doubts, Wang Hou passed through Ju County heartlessly, traveled overland with a forced ox cart, and arrived at Wulian Mountain. It is to the sea together.

This seaside in later generations is incredible, the houses are tens of thousands of square meters, because this is an important port in the north and a sanctuary for recuperation, Rizhao City!But now, here is still a tidal flat and desolate, there are several small fishing villages, with a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no personal smoke.

The scorching sun on the beach dazzled Jia Xu's eyes, and Wang Hou was not too strong. He hadn't drank water for half a day, and his lips were dry, but standing on the big rock at the mouth of the river, he was always holding his hand. A telescope, kept looking into the sea.

I don't know how many hours of looking around, in a hurry, finally a few small black spots appeared in his telescopic lens from the sea!
