Rao is Kuang Yue gave Han Ming a vacation, and he didn't go out for a walk. All winter, I lay on my stomach in my one-acre pocket house and roasted the fire and read books.

People don't know how lacking they are if they don't study, Han Ming feels this way now, he likes to read some books about the history of Zhongchu, and wants to understand the history of Zhongchu.

When he was raiding his house in the Liang Mansion, Han Ming happened to search the books in the Liang Mansion and filled seven carts.

Books are the ladder of human progress, and for a long time, the collection of books in the Han Mansion has been pitiful. Counting it, there are only four books, and one of them was written for him by the night girl.

When copying Liang's house, Han Ming received a lot of money, and his excitement was overflowing. Everyone else was a little surprised, thinking that Han Ming had enough gold, silver and jewelry from the Seven Great Cheliang Mansions, and even some unwitting officials played to impeach him.

But when everyone learned that he had only transported seven carts of books, many people began to laugh at him, and the Liang Mansion was full of treasures, and he actually took the most worthless things.

However, in the eyes of others, Han Ming's behavior made them give them a thumbs up.

Wealth in the eyes of ordinary people is limited to jewelry, while people full of wisdom seek knowledge.

Knowledge is invaluable.

Han Ming's house is not big, and in the eyes of those big families, it even looks very simple. But Han Ming doesn't care, he has always believed that what is good will never be as good as what is suitable.

He spent a lot of money on several large truckloads of books shipped from the Liang Mansion. First of all, the two houses were combined into one, and many fragrant wood bookshelves were purchased, and the entire study was kept bright and bright, which was very exquisite, and it was a lot of money.

This winter, he stayed in the study, absorbing and digesting the knowledge in the book.

Of course, his battle qi cultivation has not fallen, after all, it is the ability to save his life, and he still attaches great importance to it.

But he found a problem, the last time he was assassinated on Shangjing Street, he used that self-created combat technique "Reverse the Universe".

The power is quite great, but later he found that there was a problem with this combat skill, and he would have sequelae after using it. Every time he made a move, the battle qi in his body was unrestrained and ran around.

For this reason, he almost injured his internal organs, but fortunately stabilized in the back. Since that fight, he has never dared to use this trick again.

It just so happened that he had free time this time, so he also stopped the cultivation of combat skills and concentrated on reading the book.

Ye Die was sometimes infected by him, and accompanied him to listen to Han Ming's interpretation of the contents of the book while roasting the fire in the study.

In fact, she didn't care about what Han Ming said, as soon as Han Ming finished speaking, she forgot in a blink of an eye, the reason why she accompanied him was more to enjoy the quiet time together.

Of course, quiet times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, spring has arrived.

When the branches in the courtyard sent out a new sprout, Han Ming was already busy in the palace.

At the beginning of spring, there are two major things to do, the first is to deal with a series of things related to the border exchanges between Chen and Chu. Then they had to send people to Henghe County, Beifu, and Fufeng Counties to alleviate the absence of officials in several places, and second, to see how the local people were producing and living.

Han Ming is mainly responsible for the affairs of the mutual market between Chen and Chu. As for the defense of Yu County, after careful consideration, he decided to transfer the Shanzi Battalion to Yu County to take charge of the defense of the eastern border.

Making this decision is actually related to Shen Xia, the commander of the Shanzi Battalion, as the emergency rescue force of Longguan in the north, there are really not many places where they can express themselves, which also leads to the combat effectiveness of the Shanzi Battalion is far inferior to that of the border army.

This was shown when the rebels were pacified, which made Shen Xia, as the commander of the Shanzi Battalion, have a dull face.

It happened that this time Shen Xia heard that Yu County in the east was going to be used as a city in the intercity, and the defense force in this area of the Central Chu Territory was very weak, so he definitely needed to send people to garrison it, and just to give the Shanzi Battalion a chance to exercise, he volunteered to propose it to Han Ming.

Han Ming was worried here, and as soon as Shen Xia proposed, the two sides hit it off and settled down immediately.

However, the Shanzi camp is in Beifu County, and if you want to go to Yu County in the east of Zhongchu, you have to pass through at least five counties, and the itinerary will definitely be delayed for a while.

The biggest problem that plagued Han Ming was solved, but a lot of small trivial matters were put on his desk again, which really made him feel nerve-wracked.

He could have picked on what he didn't do, but if he didn't do it, these things would be on Kuang Yue's desk, and when he thought of Kuang Yue, Han Ming might as well do it.

Here Han Ming is worried in Shangjing, and Cui Ying has already opened the shop and started trading.

I have to say that Cui Ying's achievements today are inseparable from her own ability. Before the beginning of spring, she had already sorted out everything clearly, and the source of goods, customers, and funds were all ready. According to Cui Er's statement: the store is bright, the silver is tinkling, just waiting for the guests to arrive, and the money is panicked.

Although everything has been done, Cui Ying did not leave. The Jiangzhou market is large, and she Cui Ying came early and has already seized most of the advantageous positions. But if you do this, other businessmen will have opinions, after all, she can't swallow such a big market alone, so she has to share some porridge with others.

This is the unspoken rule of business, and people who want to eat all the cakes in one bite will definitely choke in the end. Only by sharing the cake with everyone can you eat comfortably and eat more.

She stayed, just to make deals with other big businessmen who were belated, to make a step by herself, to share a part of the profits, her next step was to transport the medicinal herbs, and when the time came, she had to cooperate with these merchants, otherwise she would not be able to eat.

Jiangzhou City is not big, the city wall is only one zhang high, there is no moat, just this configuration, a well-equipped bandit, I am afraid that they can be defeated.

But after planning, Hong Jian, the county guard, strengthened Jiangzhou City back and forth throughout the winter, and then sent a force to garrison there.

The general stationed there was Hong Jian's nephew, named Hong Shenchou.

Speaking of Hong Jian, Han Ming was fortunate to have seen this person, or when Kuang Hua ascended the throne, hundreds of officials entered the court to report on their work, at that time it was just a quick glance, and he was attracted by the depressed temperament of this elegant person who was not confused, as a man, Han Ming knew that Hong Jian must be a person with a story.

Hong Shenhou is just the opposite, he is a typical gentleman. Originally, the Jiangzhou city guard was not him, but his wife wanted to exercise him, so she asked Hong Jian for a position as the Jiangzhou city guard.

couldn't hinder his sister's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Hong Jian arranged for Hong Shenchou to come to Jiangzhou.

But what Hong Jian didn't expect was that most of the merchants who came from Jiangzhou were businessmen, and the businessmen were profit-seeking, and when they learned that Hong Shenchou was the city guard of Jiangzhou, the people who came to visit the city the next day broke the threshold of the city guard's mansion. A group of people are entertaining and giving gifts, these days, Hong Shenchou has never been sober, happier than the gods, completely forgetting how much he didn't want to come in the first place.

"San'er, come, take a drink. On the city wall, an elderly veteran on duty handed a new recruit a jug of wine.

The recruits just arrived, they didn't understand anything, they were more timid, and they didn't dare to take it. But looking at his expression, he wanted to drink a little, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

"Uncle, is it okay to drink while on duty?"

The veteran smiled, "It's okay, you just came, you don't understand a lot of things, and you will get familiar with it after a while." ”

"This ......," the recruit wanted to drink and was a little scared.

"Eh, young man, you see that we work so the city wall every day just to prevent someone from attacking, but I have been a soldier for twenty years, and I have never met an enemy. Besides, this is an inter-market, not a war, and no one will come, so you can relax and take a drink. The veteran said as he handed the wine over.

When the recruit heard the veteran say this, he also let go of his courage and took the flask and drank it. Perhaps it was the first time he was on duty, mixed with a little fear, and the recruits drank a little too much.

After a few cups, my head was a little dizzy. He pointed out of the city and said to the veteran: "Uncle, look, there are a lot of ants out there." ”

"Ants, what ants?" the veteran was amused by the recruit's words, but he didn't expect the recruit's egg drinking to be so bad, and after only a few sips, he was already drunk and talking nonsense.

He looked in the direction the recruit was pointing, trying to see what the ant was talking about.

This look immediately scared the veteran. He pointed out of the city and stammered, "Soldiers...... Soldiers, the enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, send ...... quickly"

Before he could finish a few words, a sharp arrow shot directly through his head and took him away.

The recruit was stunned, and while he was still confused, countless arrows had already shot him, instantly shooting him into a hedgehog, and the unfinished wine was also sprinkled all over the ground, mixed with blood.

An hour later, the city of Jiangzhou fell.
