Chapter 72: Resignation and imprisonment, so it's not miserable
In the following time, Chen Lingxiao recalled Dian Wei and Lin Huniu, and asked Deputy Commander Zhang to lead 300 infantry and 200 archers to guard Feiying Pass.
The facility was not damaged.
Because, Dian Wei and Lin Huniu led the troops to attack from behind.
On the Hukou Pass, it was handed over to another deputy commander of the Earl's Court to guard, and the strength was similar to that of the Flying Eagle Pass.
However, due to the serious damage to Hukou Pass, it was necessary to temporarily build a checkpoint, and Chen Lingxiao mobilized 500 people to build it.
Of course, when the pozzolana cement and steel bars are produced, they will have to be rebuilt.
Chen Lingxiao returned to the Earl's Court and saw that all the corpses in front of the castle gate were gone.
The huge crater that was blown up by feces, urine and gunpowder was only half filled, and it was when nearly a thousand people were dispatched.
Chen Lingxiao didn't worry about this, he introduced Guo Jia and Lu Ban to his parents.
Then, in the council hall, a meeting is held.
Jian Nanbo, Du Shi, Chen Ruoxi, Guo Jia, Lu Ban, and Dian Wei all participated.
Chen Lingxiao asked Guo Jia to analyze the current situation and the work to be carried out in the next Jiannan Earl's Mansion and so on.
These contents were all determined by Chen Lingxiao and Guo Jia in advance.
The next main tasks of the Jiannan Earl's Mansion are four:
The first is construction, mainly the construction of the Heifengling Basin, Bibo Island, Feiying Pass and Hukou Pass.
The second is to expand the army, first expand the size of the private army to 5,000, which is the maximum number of private troops of the earl stipulated by the Jin State. Then, a sailor was formed on Bibo Island, in the name of pirates.
The third is to tuntian and grain, and all the fertile land originally used to plant mulberry trees in Jiannanbo's fiefdom has been changed to rice, and it is a high-yield hybrid rice.
The seeds of hybrid rice were purchased by Chen Lingxiao from the [Science and Technology Museum].
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and if they rebelled in the future, food was the key.
Once a war starts, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a lot of food, so it is better to have enough food and clothing by yourself.
As for whether the mulberry farmers are willing to switch to rice?
That's not a problem!
Mulberry trees are cut down to compensate them, seeds are provided free of charge, and the rice grown is purchased at a higher price than the market, and then exempted from taxes, so that they can earn more than growing mulberry and silkworms.
In this way, Sannon certainly has no complaints.
Fourth, the development of trade, to provide the Earldom with a large amount of gold coins.
Whether it is construction or army expansion, it is an extremely money-burning thing, and without gold coins, it will not work.
Chen Lingxiao decided to keep all the millions of gold coins left after repaying the debt for the development of the Earl's Palace.
In addition, he has upgraded his rouge gouache products to new formulas and is preparing to launch new products, which will definitely make a lot of money.
After the meeting, everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
This is a one-size-fits-all truth.
Now, when his son proposed to prepare for a rebellion in the future, Jian Nanbo did not resist and acquiesced.
The Earl's Mansion of Jiannan was constantly suppressed by the royal court and forced to a dead end, if it weren't for Ling Xiao, the Earl's Mansion would no longer exist.
Although the current difficulties have been passed, no one can guarantee when the monarch's butcher's knife will be on the neck of the Earl of Jiannan again.
The only way to ensure the inheritance of the Earl's Court is to rebel and succeed!
Du Shi and Chen Ruoxi did not send it to Chen Lingxiao.
Guo Jia, Lu Ban, and Dian Wei are three loyal subordinates to him, not to mention.
......
Three days later.
Jiannan City, outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Click!
The deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a group of majestic and powerful warriors escorted a majestic old man with gray hair and a white beard to arrive.
There were only five of them, but they were followed by 20 tall horses.
As soon as I saw this posture, I knew that it was coming non-stop, and I didn't even have time to change horses at the post station.
"The holy decree has arrived, Lin Tao, the guard of Lingnan County, Lin Guang, and Zhou Feng, the lord of Jiannan City, will receive the decree!"
The white bearded old man jumped off the horse, holding the dust whisk in one hand and a bright yellow scroll in the other, and said sharply.
This old man is a father-in-law who preaches the message.
He shouted loudly as he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.
The four mighty warriors behind him followed in unison.
Everywhere they went, everyone knelt.
When the father-in-law came to the lobby, Lin Tao took Lin Guang, Zhou Feng and others and knelt down.
The father-in-law glanced at everyone, then opened the holy decree and read it aloud:
"Fengtian carried the edict of the King of Jin and said: Lingnan County guards Lin Tao, the implementation of the new policy is unfavorable, and the supervision of subordinates is not strict, so that the general Wang Luo officials and bandits colluded to attack the Jiannan Earl's Mansion and annihilate the whole army.
Lin Tao's crime is unforgivable, and he is now dismissed from his post and investigated, escorted to the royal capital, and entered the Dali Temple, waiting for his fate.
The officials related to this incident sentenced Lin Guang and Zhou Feng, the city lord of Jiannan, to be dismissed on the spot and demoted to commoners.
"Long live my king, long live, long live!"
Lin Tao, Lin Guang, and Zhou Feng prostrate and shouted.
After the father-in-law handed the holy decree to Lin Tao, he said loudly: "Come on, take down the Lingnan County Guard, put it in the dungeon, and wait for us to set off and escort it to the royal capital!"
After sending Lin Tao to prison, the father-in-law took four inner guards and went straight to the Earl of Jiannan's mansion.
He also had a decree to read.
In the city lord's mansion, Lin Guang and the city lord Zhou Feng were sentenced, and their faces were like ashes.
This encirclement and suppression of the Jiannan Earl's Mansion was a complete failure.
They and the three county guards were also severely punished, those who lost their officials lost their officials, and those who went to prison were imprisoned, so miserable!
......
In the Earl's Mansion of Jiannan, the father-in-law came and read the will.
The content of the holy decree is roughly that Jiannan Bo has made meritorious contributions to the Jin State to expand its territory and take Heifengling, and the prince Chen Lingxiao is specially commended for studying in the royal capital Taixue, enjoying high-quality education and helping him become a talent!
As for whether Heifengling would be rewarded to Jian Nanbo, he didn't say a word.
Although Chen Lingxiao had already guessed the content of the holy decree, he still couldn't help but feel sick at this moment.
Obviously he wanted to keep himself in the royal capital as a hostage so that he could control the Earl's Palace, but he called it "helping him become a talent"!
After the father-in-law read the holy decree, he returned to the Jiannan City Station.
Before he left, he left a message: Early tomorrow morning, the prince will follow him into the royal capital.
Jian Nanbo, Du Shi, and Chen Ruoxi were worried that Chen Lingxiao would be bullied and even dangerous.
Even though Chen Lingxiao has been acting like a demon recently, Chen Nan and Du Shi still repeatedly told him to be careful like this!
It boils down to one sentence: the king hides the dragon and crouches the tiger, and he must pick up his tail and be a man!
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
Click!
Chen Ruoxi had just returned from patrolling with a team of cavalry, and the silver armor was still stained with dewdrops.
"Ruoxi, let's have supper together!"
Chen Lingxiao looked at the beautiful sister and said with a smile.
Chen Ruoxi jumped off the horse, a light smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and nodded: "I happen to have something to find you!"
