The war on the southwestern border also affected Zhuzhai.

In particular, the four leaders who fled back to the mountains also had to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers, and all kinds of worries and guards, which made some people in the mountains panic.

When the two got together, the atmosphere in the villages in the mountains was a little tense.

Anne gathered all the leaders to discuss how to defend against the enemy.

Regarding the "rebellion" of the four leaders, Anne also had a reassuring statement, "The four slaughtered officers and soldiers, and they did make a big mistake. However, it is not impossible to make up for it. ”

"We have an idiom at the foot of the mountain, called 'Guilty and Meritorious Service'——"

Before Anne could finish speaking, the head man A let out an "oh" and hurriedly said, "I know! Sir, do you want us to do things for the imperial court, and after making meritorious contributions, we will ask the imperial court to offset their merits?"

I have to say that Anne's literacy work in Zhuzhai is still very effective.

No, even the head man who hasn't read much but is arrogant can casually say a few idioms that are appropriate for the situation.

Anne was very pleased, after teaching for several years, she also truly felt the joy and happiness of "educating the people" and being a teacher.

She felt like this, and I believe that the original owner will enjoy it even more.

Anne suppressed these thoughts for a moment, smiled and said to the leader A, "That's right, that's what I meant. ”

"Now the war on the border has burned to our doorstep, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are not familiar with the mountains and forests, and they are not used to the elephant array of the Buddha country. ”

"I think we need to send troops to help. One is for ourselves, and the other is to build up military exploits in order to gain more right to speak!"

Dozens of leaders listened attentively, they were like elementary school students in the classroom, with great respect and trust for Mr. An.

After going through too many things, especially the plague in Wanhu Town, the leaders have long regarded Anne as an immortal sent by the heavens to protect them.

Even if Anne is a woman and a mountain person, they do not reject it at all, but absolutely trust it.

Anne was afraid that the leaders would not understand, so she carefully broke and crumpled her meaning, and told them little by little.

Amon was the first to react, "Sir, what do you mean by the right to speak, we still want to go down the mountain?"

If they continue to stay in the mountains, they don't have to worry too much about the imperial court.

On the contrary, if they want to go down the mountain, they must negotiate terms with the imperial court.

"Didn't you still want to go down the mountain a few days ago?"

Anne playfully glanced at the number of leaders present, and just when some people were a little uncomfortable, Anne withdrew her gaze.

"Actually, it's right to go down the mountain. Although the mountains are rich in products and are also our roots, wild beasts, insects and snakes are rampant here, the transportation is inconvenient, and all kinds of living conditions are too difficult. ”

"In the past, we didn't go down the mountain, but there was no way out when we went down the mountain. But now it's different, you hold the glass, weaving, coal and even spirits industry, no matter where you go, you can carve out a prosperous road. ”

"Moreover, the mountain road is too difficult to walk, which seriously affects our business. Down the mountain, these problems are easily solved. ”

The previous leaders wanted to go to Wanhu Town to "learn from the experience", didn't they just feel the difficulties in reality and took the initiative to go down the mountain.

It was only the plague incident in Wanhu Town that frightened those leaders, and then the idea of going down the mountain was suppressed.

At this time, hearing Anne take the initiative to mention it, many leaders began to think about it again.

Yes, although the mountain is safe, the conditions are too poor.

If they go to the bottom of the mountain, their business will definitely expand several times, and when the time comes, it will be all white money.

But, Wanhu Town-

"That's why we have to take the initiative to make meritorious service and have the qualifications to negotiate conditions with the imperial court!"

Anne seemed to understand the worries of the leaders, and said with a smile, "We helped the officers and soldiers, quelled the war in the southwest, and we also have the capital to negotiate." ”

"The imperial court saw our strength, so naturally it didn't dare to fool around as casually as Yuan Tingshi, but took it seriously. ”

"The imperial court is not Yuan Thorn History, it will not have so many selfish intentions, but will be more objective and fair. ”

"Let's use the facts to tell the imperial court: our stockades are a barrier in the southwest, as long as there are us, the alien races outside the frontier don't want to step into the territory of the Celestial Empire!"

"We are so important, and the court should be appeased. ”

Changing the land and returning it to the river is the right way and the inevitable part of history.

It's just that Yuan Tingshi is too selfish, and it is impossible to really think about the court and the mountain people, so he is bound to fail.

Anne's words only made the leaders nod their heads again and again.

Of course, they still have concerns.

Anne simply spread her hands and said a little scoundrelly, "If it is really not possible to go down the mountain, we will not have no way to retreat, and we will retreat to the mountain again." ”

Attacking and defending, it's perfect!

The leaders suddenly thought, yes, how did they forget this stubble.

The four leaders who had just "retreated to the mountain" blushed in the laughter of the leaders.

However, after a short period of discomfort, they also joined in the laughter - Ken jokes are also an attitude, and they are accepted by Mr. An and the Zhuzhai brothers again!

"Yes, sir, we all listen to you!" Amon and the leaders exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison.

Anne agreed and began to arrange the rest of the matter.

The elephant array is terrifying, but it is not invulnerable, Anne doesn't have to use her own brain, after reading so many crossing texts, don't you know how to do it?

Animals are afraid of fire, so let's have a fire attack.

If the fire attack is too monotonous, then add firecrackers.

Anyway, glass has been made, and gunpowder seems to be a natural fit.

Anne was full of plans and led a group of leaders to get busy in the mountains.

She is engaged in a career in a hurry, and there is an accident on the An family's side.

"Sister Xue, your brother is going to Fucheng to participate in the poetry meeting, ouch, I've heard, the people who go are all heads and faces, if your brother also goes, he will definitely be able to make some useful friends......"

Yan sat in the hall and frothed at the mouth.

An Xueting held her big belly, her expression was very cold, she didn't even have the patience to listen, and asked directly, "How much silver do you want?"

"Twenty taels, hehe, not much, not much, it's enough to buy your brother a suit, and entangle back and forth!" Yan didn't even notice that her appearance was becoming more and more merchandising.

Zhou stood beside Yan and desperately gave An Xueting a look.

An Xueting didn't seem to see it, closed her eyes, then got up resignedly, went to the inner room for a turn, and when she came back, she was holding two silver cakes in her hands.

After taking the silver, Yan left happily, without even greeting An Xueting with "When will it be produced".

Zhou wanted to stay and say something considerate to his daughter, but Yan didn't allow it, so Zhou had to follow his mother-in-law step by step.

Zhou's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, of course An Xueting saw it.

She also knew what her mother wanted to tell her.

There is no need for her mother to mention it, and An Xueting doesn't want to be the wronged person for the An family.

But, again, she had to succumb!

Because she can't do without the support of her mother's family, let alone break off the relationship with Xiucai's own brother......
