The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 519 Princess, You Are Too Smart
The captives squatted on the ground, eating happily, with a bowl of polenta in one hand, a pancake with mixed noodles in the other, and a piece of bacon for dinner.

Although it is not a delicious food, it is already excellent for all soldiers.

The captives hadn't eaten such a good thing for a long time, let alone had such a full meal.But they were all thinking in their hearts how they should choose what Mo Wen said just now.

They are all people who deserve to die, no matter which choice is better than death.

You are not afraid of death anymore, are you still afraid of making a choice?
Then, a prisoner suddenly stood up after eating, and said loudly: "I want to go home!"

The voice was loud, but he lacked confidence, and the expression of bravely going to death showed that he did not believe that the Dongming people would let him go home and return the money.

Although ten copper coins are not much, it is enough to keep him from starving to death on the road.

Dongming Ziyu gave Wang Feng a look, Wang Feng waved his hand, and two personal guards brought over a basket full of copper coins.

This was exchanged with Dongming Ziyu's own money, not the account of the army's salary.

The personal guard counted out ten copper coins and handed them to the man, "Here, I hope I won't see you on the battlefield in the future."

The man hesitated for a moment, then quickly grabbed the copper plate and said, "No, I want to go home to see my old lady. My old lady misses me, and she is blind from crying!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Dongming Ziyu.

As if afraid of being caught back, he ran away like the wind.

When one came out, the second came out, "I want to go home too, I miss my wife and children."

After finishing speaking, he took a copper coin and left.

The third one came out, without saying anything, silently took ten copper coins and left.

The fourth, fifth...

Seeing that there was a long line of people receiving copper coins, but no one wanted to stay.

Dongming Ziyu frowned slightly. He didn't really expect these people to stay, but their departure would affect his next plan to some extent.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, as long as someone takes the money and leaves, it will soon spread among the Beiling army, and these people may not all go home."

As soon as she finished speaking, a prisoner stood up and said, "I've thought about it. There is no one in my family. I want to stay and open up wasteland to farm. Going back to Beiling in winter will also starve and freeze, and there is no way out!"

A person who was hesitating also stood up, "I want to stay, I can do whatever I want, my father is from Dongming, my mother is from Beiling, I will work for whoever feeds me and keeps me warm! "

Zhou Haiyang was worried all the time and left. Isn't this a disgrace to King Xuan?
Seeing that the two of them were going to stay, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, you go and get new cotton clothes, take a rest, and arrange suitable errands for you tomorrow, and you will have your military salary this month."

Hearing that there are new cotton clothes and military pay, some people also choose to stay.

For them, food, clothing, warmth and money are the most important things.

Although the majority of people left and only about 100 people stayed, it was not bad.If you really treat them well, you will stay more next time.

At this moment, An Yi appeared, and said to Dongming Ziyu, "My lord, there is a small group of soldiers from Beiling counterattacking in Mo Town, and they realized that Skyfire was used by us to confuse them."

Dongming Ziyu asked, "How is the situation?"

An An said: "It's all settled. They climbed up from the north wall. They shot a thick bow and arrow onto the wall with a giant crossbow, and then climbed up with that bow and arrow."

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "The earthen wall is still not strong, and the wall is too low."

Zhou Haiyang also frowned and said: "The last general has also applied to the higher authorities for many times to raise the city wall, but the prince knows that the military pay is often in arrears, let alone raising the city wall."

Mo asked: "Even if the city wall is raised, it's too late now."

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes fell on the icicles under the eaves, his eyes lit up and he said, "I have a temporary solution."

Dongming Ziyu knew that his little princess was paying attention again, so he looked at her with bright eyes, "Say it."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled slightly, pointed to the icicles under the eaves, and said: "Use snow to raise the height, then melt the snow into water, pour it on the snow, and it will become an ice wall, even those who are exhausted can't climb it. "

"Haha! Princess, you are so smart!" He laughed secretly, he had been in and out of Linzhou with Shangguan Ruoli for more than a month, and he was very familiar with him.

However, his smile suddenly faded because he received the ice-like eyes from his prince.

"Ahem, err, this subordinate will send a letter immediately!" After speaking, he ran away.

"Oh! The general has been on the border for so many years, why didn't he think of this!" Zhou Haiyang was also very excited, and immediately ordered the soldiers to add snow to the city wall of Qingcheng, and then melt the snow water to pour the ice wall.

Now the captives were also put to use, and immediately joined the labor.

Dongming Ziyu hugged Shangguan Ruoli, and sighed: "Li'er is indeed smart! This king has never thought of this problem!"

If the art of war and petroleum brains and other things are because Shangguan Ruoli knows the advanced civilization of more than 1000 years, but this is because she is really smart.

"Of course, how else would I marry you!" Shangguan Ruoli flattered me very much, "When the snow melts, the business of the trade city should also be completed. Let's expand the scope of the city and use the taxes collected and the sale of land. The money is used to build a stronger stone wall on the outside. This way the city is divided into inner and outer cities, and the inner city of the government is relatively safe.”

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Okay, this king will explain and write down this matter."

After arranging the defense of Qingcheng, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli returned to Mozhen with a thousand personal guards before dark.

The soldiers are very mobile, and there are many people to help. The city wall of Mo Town is already being raised.It was getting dark, but everyone was enthusiastic and had no intention of stopping.

After finally regaining their homeland, they must protect the fruits of battle.

Dongming Ziyu said to Wang Feng: "Let's assign some people to help."

"Yes!" Wang Feng took the order to allocate manpower.

The guards were very excited to recover two cities in just three days. Not only did they win more with less, but they also did not lose a single brother.

This is the first time in their fighting history, how can it not be exciting?This will surely go down in the history books.

"Princess! Concubine is back!" Piaorou and Sassoon, dressed like two bears, stomped their feet at the door and watched, and shouted happily when they saw Shangguan Ruoli and his group come back.

Shangguan Ruoli quickened his pace, seeing their red noses and green eyes from the cold, he smiled and said, "It's so cold, why are you waiting outside?"

Piao Rou said: "The prince and the princess are going to fight, we are not at ease."

Sassoon also said: "That's right, there was also a fight here today."

"My lord and concubine have worked hard, the food is ready, and the hot water has been boiled." Piao Rou made way for Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli to go first.

Shangguan Ruoli entered the courtyard, but found that the gluttonous Ruhua didn't come out to welcome him, so he casually asked, "Where is Ruhua?"
