Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 373

Chapter 376
As a county lieutenant who was promoted from the grassroots, Xiao Nuo understood the role of craftsmen quite well, this kind of practice with ulterior motives would be extremely dangerous to the community.

It is not too terrible for a city to lose its craftsmen. If a country loses its craftsmen, they may not even have a hatchet in the future, and they will not even have shoes and socks to wear.

Xiao Nuo smiled wryly: "Did you hear the news, where are these craftsmen going to move?"

Jia Ding Bing said: "I have already inquired clearly. They are all going to Wei State. The officials from top to bottom have been bribed. No one will stop them at all."

Xiao Nuo said again: "Don't they know the consequences of these craftsmen moving away?"

"Who cares about this? Most of these craftsmen have some wealth. Although they don't have much land or real estate, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. These craftsmen can take away the floating wealth, but can they also take away the house?"

"It's wrong!" Xiao Nuo shouted loudly: "Such a short-sighted person is really wronging the country and the people!"

Although Xiao Nuo was not prepared to participate in the rebellion against Jin, the serious consequences of this matter were no less serious than rebellion.

Xiao Nuo said: "Quickly invite Mr. Qian!"

Xiao Nuo is a county lieutenant, he also hired a staff member for money and grain.

After a while, Mr. Qian came.

Xiao Nuo took a deep breath, looked at the staff and said: "In Mr.'s opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Master Qian said: "You can't deal with this matter!"

"Can't deal with it?" Xiao Nuo said, "Why?"

Mr. Qian said: "It's very simple. Those who can bribe Dongyang County's top and bottom officials, and those who cannot be bribed will find opportunities to get rid of them. If Qian's prediction is not bad, there must be a very powerful person behind him. Since this person has such a Strength, you can easily buy all the officials in Dongyang County, it is not something that you can provoke, this matter cannot be resolved, but it is the most likely to cause death."

Of course Xiao Nuo knew that the officials should protect each other, and they will give you a sip of soup. If you violate this rule, it will cut off everyone's money. Corrupt officials will not tolerate a clean official among them.

Could it be that keeping upright officials also sets off their greed and establishes their anti-image?
Xiao Nuo said: "Is this the way to be a minister?"

Master Qian said: "If the envoy is really unwilling...you can send your confidants to Beijing secretly. Report this to the top, do your best, and obey the destiny!"

Xiao Nuo nodded and said: "It should be so!"

……

The south city of Jiankang is where the general supervisors and craftsmen of the state of Jin gathered together. At the beginning, the lights were brightly lit, and there were countless people carrying burdens, bags, and caring for their children. Pedestrians in carriages and horses go to Xuanyang Gate (built in the Eastern Wu Dynasty), Lingyang Gate, Guangyang Gate, and Jingyang Gate.

At this time, the defenders of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were as unmoved as if they saw the "air".

Even if some pedestrians are in a hurry and fall to the ground, the defenders will take the initiative to help the fallen people up.

At this time, Chu Suanzi got a secret letter in the Xianyang Palace of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After reading the letter,

Chu Suanzi's face turned livid and he shouted, "Come on!"

A palace lady bowed and said, "Queen Mother!"

"Quickly go to Ai's family and order the King of Wuling to lead the five cities to seal the gates immediately!"

After issuing the decree, Chu Suanzi felt that her lungs were about to explode. Regardless of the Queen Mother's majesty, she dropped several expensive objects in Miyagi in succession.The Empress Dowager Chu lost her composure for the first time in more than ten years. A palace maid was afraid that a fire at the city gate would affect the fish pond, so she ran to tell Sima Dan.

Not long after, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Mother! What's the matter?"

Hearing his son's voice, Chu Suanzi came back to his senses.She fixed her eyes on the messy bedroom, and her anger immediately dissipated.

Chu Suanzi took a deep breath and said, "Mother, don't be nervous, the emperor!"

Since the establishment of the shadow, she has had an invisible force, and can silently observe the entire Jin Dynasty, all movements inside and outside the court, and she has become accustomed to controlling everything.

However, Jin Nu and Tie Nu brought people to Jiankang City to wipe out the Shadow's headquarters, and even the shadow branches in other places were attacked by unknown forces and suffered heavy losses.

Because she lost her shadow, she became blind and deaf now.

Especially this feeling of being invisible, intangible, and making people play with applause made Chu Suanzi very uncomfortable.

Chu Suanzi quickly calmed down. Her shadow team was not like the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, and there was a special Jinyiwei yamen. All the shadows existed in secret, and as for the branch, it was even more secretive.

But Ran Min can be far away thousands of miles away, if he is flat, he will be flat, if he is dead, he will be destroyed.

The strength that Ran Min showed made Chu Suanzi shudder. What secrets did Ran Min not know?Since Ran Min can use this method to eradicate the shadow, he can also eradicate other people, including himself of course.You must know that although Chu Suanzi doesn't go out of the palace often, he can kill himself.

In the past, Chu Suanzi was not afraid of death. His son was a sick child. Since he was born, he almost had to rely on drugs to hang himself, and he might die at any time.

She was a helpless woman with no hope at that time, but now it is different. Her son's health is getting better and better, and he is very smart, and he matures earlier than ordinary people.

All of this is not too important now, the important thing is what can I fight against Ran Min?
"Mother, mother?" Seeing Chu Suanzi's dazed look again, Sima Dan understood that his omnipotent mother encountered a problem at this time.

"Queen, don't scare Erchen, don't scare Erchen, what happened, isn't there still Erchen?"

Hearing Sima Dan's words, Chu Suanzi felt very relieved.

She gently stroked Sima Dan's head, and said lightly: "The emperor has finally grown up, and knows how to cherish her as a mother!"

Thinking that Sima Dan always needs to face setbacks, and only through setbacks and ups and downs can he truly grow.

Chu Suanzi said: "Actually, it's nothing, but I don't know what method Wei Guo has adopted. Our Dajin will be Jianjiafang Office, Nufang Office, Right School Office, Left School Office, Middle School Office, and Zhenguan Office ( Management of ceramics and sculpture) More than three to seven thousand craftsmen from the Six Departments will come out collectively tonight!"

Sima Dan showed a worried look. In fact, he didn't realize the danger of these things, but when he saw Chu Suanzi's face was not good, he deliberately pretended to say: "Mother, what should I do?"

"If there weren't these craftsmen, it wouldn't be terrible at first!" Chu Suanzi said: "But Wei Guo not only poached the craftsmen who were going to be prisons, but even the craftsmen of the people were caught by them. I'm afraid starting tomorrow , Our Dajin can’t even make a brick, a tile, or even a piece of cloth or clothes.”

"How dare you do that?" Sima Dan said angrily, "I will decree that these rebels will be punished!"

"The emperor must not!"

Before Sima Dan finished speaking, Chu Suanzi interrupted, "This will only make Jiankang more chaotic. Ran Min likes to fight with his back when doing things, but Ran Ming never fights uncertain battles. The father and son are closely bonded." , there must be someone behind!"

Sima Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is it okay to let them go like this?"

Chu Suanzi said: "Stop them first, and then slowly think of a way. These people have weaknesses. Since they are willing to serve Wei Guo for money, they are naturally spineless. Keep them cold for a few days, and you will naturally feel scared."

After hearing this, Sima Dan nodded repeatedly.

……

Sima Xi, King of Wuling, succeeded King Zhe of Wuling and was granted the title in the first year of Taixing.At the beginning of Xianhe, he worshiped Sanqi as a regular servant.Emperor Kang ascended the throne, added servants and special advances.At this time, he himself was in charge of the general of the town army.However, it is in name only.The Eastern Jin court was also frightened by the chaos of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, and military power would never fall on the clan.As a clan, Sima Xi naturally couldn't lead the army alone. Whether he was the General Zuo in the early days or the general of the Zhenjun later, they were all empty positions.

However, in this time and space, by mistake, Chu Suanzi had no one in his hands, so he mentioned the prince of the clan, who was known for his martial arts, to the general of the army.Now Sima Xi not only controls the soldiers and horses of the five cities of Jiankang.Jiankang Five Cities refers to the center of Miyagi (Taicheng).To the north is Baishilei (Baixia), Xuanwu City, to the south Langye County City, and to the west is Stone City.

In terms of establishment, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses in the five cities.

But after Sima Xi took office, he was so angry that he scolded his mother. These Jiankang generals have become addicted to eating empty pay these years, and they dared to eat nearly [-]% of the empty salary under the eyes of the emperor.

实际这五城兵马仅实有三万一千720三人。就是这三万一千720三人中，16岁以下，包括50岁以上那些连枪都拿不稳的兵居然占了一万3000人。

The rest of the young men were skinny and skinny, and besides standing in formation and pretending to be intimidating, they were useless at all.Sima Xi was also secretly frightened. To protect the capital's key areas, such troops and horses might not be able to win even five thousand elites.

It's no wonder, whether it was Wang Dun's rebellion or Su Jun's rebellion, they all defeated the imperial army in the early stage. If Wang Dun hadn't died of illness, what would have happened.

In desperation, Sima Zhaoxi gritted his teeth and eliminated the old and weak in the army, leaving only [-] soldiers and horses that could be used, and stepped up time to practice.Fortunately, Chu Suanzi played the magical skill of wedding dress, allowing the four major gentry families in the south of the Yangtze River to form a new army for the court.

The new army was split into two by Chu Suanzi, of which more than [-] troops were added to the defenders of the five cities of Jiankang, and the other [-] new troops were transferred to Dantu.

After more than a month of training, the soldiers and horses of the five cities finally have some appearance.

This is just a bit of appearance. It looks like the formation and march are very organized. In fact, when encountering a real big battle, even Sima Xi has no idea.

As the prince of the clan, Sima Xi did not dare to share food and lodging with the soldiers, lest someone say he had ulterior motives.He stayed in the palace of the prince in the city, went out of the city at dawn to train the army, and returned to the city at night.

Here Sima Xi was as tired as a dog, fell asleep on the bed.

In the middle of the night, I received a report from a close servant: "The Queen Mother has an eloquence..."
