Chapter 400: The Hunter (3)
The man in the darkness seemed to fall into a moment of deep thought, and then he added, "The light crossbow has been modified, and its power is reduced compared to before. ”
"So, you can use it in large numbers?" Jerodon asked.
The biggest problem with the previous light crossbow was that the materials used for the arrows were not easy to obtain, and the process of making zuò was very dangerous.
The man replied lightly, and his white-gloved hand stretched out from the darkness again, holding a token engraved with an eagle in his hand, "The hunter handed it over to you, kill Chu Dingjiang, and bring it back to Anjiu." I want to live, and I can't let the hunter do it. ”
"Okay." Jerew knew that the hunters in his hands would only kill.
These people called "hunters" are very strange, they don't have high martial arts, but they all have super high mental power and amazing bow skills. I don't know when they existed, or what kind of cruel means they used to train them to be so terrifyingly accurate.
The national teacher's name is Xiao Qu, and when Yelu Quancang was not the emperor of Liao, this person was already the national teacher of Liao. He was the youngest national teacher in the history of the Liao Kingdom, and it seemed that God favored him very much, handsome, wise, and powerful, but at that time he was not as mysterious as he is now, and it was because a fire destroyed his face that he became so withdrawn.
Yelu Quancang once checked, Xiao Wai before the twenty years can be described as smooth sailing, it was not long after Ren Xiao retreat a night suddenly caught fire in the study of the National Teacher's Mansion, he stayed up all night to look at the folds, fell asleep on the table, the oil lamp fell crookedly on a pile of folds and burned, the house was full of flammables, and the fire spread to uncontrollable in a short time, and when he woke up again, he found himself in a sea of fire.
It seems that there are suspicious points everywhere, but after checking and checking, I found that all of them were Xiao Qu's "self-inflicted sins and can't live", he had just been appointed as a national teacher, and he was full of energy. Every day to see the excerpt to see the third watch in the middle of the night and do not like people to disturb, the personal servant was sent outside to serve, in the middle of the night, he was ready to fall asleep, so he asked the little guy to serve a bowl of soothing soup, after drinking still no sleep, then looked at the excerpt for a while. It was winter, and the little guy went to the ear room next to him to hide from the wind and cold, and when he was waiting, he urged twice, and he was reprimanded. The little girl had to go back to the ear room and continue to wait, the brazier inside was smoked warm, and one accidentally fell asleep, and he was still scared to wake up when he heard the exclamation next door.
Not long after Yelu Quancang walked out of the secret room, the national teacher sent someone to send a drawing, as well as two craftsmen who supervised the construction of the light crossbow.
If you want to bring back the living Anjiu, the obstacles and troubles that must be cleared are Chu Dingjiang, that person is like a fox, and he is a master of transformation realm. Even if there is a hunter, it is not easy to kill him.
Yelu Quancang looked at the Condor and ordered to be divine.
After dark.
At Mo Sigui's request, An Jiu took Mei's killers to catch those poisoned killers.
Starting from the place where it was attacked yesterday, they searched for a radius of ten miles. Traces could be seen everywhere, but no one could be found, and it was not until almost dawn that the fat man was found in the grass.
The fat man's body was still a little warm, and it seemed that he had just died not long ago.
An Jiu asked the others to follow the traces. She first sent the body back to Hexi County.
In late spring and early summer, the water and grass are abundant, and it is a good time for animal husbandry.
The Liao people are getting busier. After the spring sowing of the Great Song Dynasty, Wu Lingyuan mobilized the men of the county to repair the city wall together, and the women were drunk fish at home.
Drunken fish is the ancestral craft of the Wuling Yuan family. The fresh fish caught is put in clear water for a few days, then washed and put into the wine, and then killed after the fish is drunk, put ginger, garlic, salt and other ingredients to marinate, if it is not too hot, it can be put for ten days and a half months and is not bad. After it is done, it will be sent to the river as soon as possible, and it will be sold.
With the shopkeeper personally taught by Zhu Pianqi in charge, he soon opened up sales.
This kind of thing can only be kept for a few days, but Wu Lingyuan insists on sending it quickly, and does not buy fish elsewhere, and only refines a small amount and sells it at a high price.
Later, he opened a restaurant in Hexi County, and the signature dish is this drunken fish, which is made on the same day, and the taste is more delicious.
Everyone knew that it was the season of truce, and it was safe to travel, so there were literati and scholars from the neighborhood who came to visit and write a poem and taste it for free.
Then everyone knows that Hexi County has opened a free Mongolian school, not only does not need money, but also the government is responsible for the safety of the children, every five days there are special people to send them home for two days, if someone at home comes to see the children, they can also arrange accommodation free of charge. It was Wu Tanhua himself who ran the school, and he had passed the imperial examination, but he could get a salary in the county office.
There are already few children in the county who need to be educated, and even if they are given two meals a day, it will not cost much, but the number of children sent from the neighborhood is gradually increasing, and the pressure is increasing.
The biggest thing Wu Lingyuan does every day is to write excerpts and cry poor, and he has to go to Fu Yin to cry in person every three or five days, our county is poor, there is no one in our county, the city wall of our county has collapsed, and our yamen can't even afford to catch clothes......
In short, although we did not suffer from natural disasters, we suffered from the disaster of war, and the imperial court had to give some subsidies.
Wu Lingyuan is just a small county order, and there is no way to hear it directly, but he also went around crying for poverty in the future, but it has received a lot of results.
The imperial court exempted the entire Hejian Prefecture from paying taxes for six years, and allocated a batch of silver for the construction of the city defenses, as well as a little relief grain.
After Wu Lingyuan inquired about these things and entered Hejian Mansion, he was the first to run to ask for money and food, he was the first county order to cry poor, and he gave Fu Yin a lot of ideas, so he naturally got more than other counties.
After receiving these things, he finally alleviated the embarrassment of Hexi County.
Before that, all the money from Mengxue and the restaurant was from Chu Dingjiang.
Wu Lingyuan assigned things to everyone, and only offered Chu Dingjiang, the god of wealth, and worked harder to persuade the Privy Council to appoint An Jiu as the general of the Self-Defense Army.
Hua Rongtian became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, a general of the army of 2,000 people, and he still had the right to speak, and the Great Song Dynasty did not have a precedent for women to lead the army, so it was quickly approved.
But the number of troops allowed only a thousand.
The Great Song Dynasty has always been the Privy Council in charge of military power, and after determining the dispatch of troops, the generals will know which army they will bring, but no one wants to go to a place like Hexi County, and the Great Song Dynasty is the time to employ people, and it is not possible to appoint a general for a 1,000-person city defense army, so all of them are handed over to the Fu Yin to be appointed and handled, and they can be reported to the imperial court afterwards.
Wu Lingyuan received the right to deal with it on his own from Fu Yin, so Yasuku could take full control of the self-defense army.
On the day he got the appointment, An Jiu couldn't help himself with excitement, "Chu Dingjiang, I have become an official of the imperial court." (To be continued......)
