Hua Xin sent an envoy and took away a lot of property, but this was due to the hard work of Wang Lang and others for more than three months, and it was also Yan Baihu's success in not letting them stop developing the city.

Today, there are more than ten third-level "markets", two "mints", and a unique "fish market" in the coastal city.

The monthly harvest of Huiji City has exceeded 2,000 gold, and with the gradual formation of the market, the business will get better and more prosperous, and the income will increase in the future.

In addition, in terms of military affairs, the three-level barracks and the three-level ordnance factory have also been preliminarily completed, with the support of funds and talents, I believe that in a few months, they will be able to strengthen the city and make perfect preparations for the next step.

Even, even if Yan Baihu occupied Jianye City in the future, Huiji City would still be able to become an important logistics base, providing him with a steady stream of soldiers, military rations, and money.

Of course, after these infrastructures are built, it does not mean that Yan Baihu and other generals and strategists can be idle, but this is because if there are talents to control and monitor, the effect of their facilities is to be bonus, such as the "market", if there are talents to take care of it, its output will be more.

In this way, in order to maximize benefits, Yan Baihu naturally couldn't let Wang Lang and them be empty, even himself, and there was not a day of idleness.

However, Yan Baihu is a military general after all, and because of this, he still stays in the barracks most of the time, but in early November, he had a whim and wanted to go to the market, and he didn't go alone.

"Yuanhime, are you ready?"

After waiting outside the house for nearly half an hour, Yan Baihu's patience was almost exhausted, he never thought that whether it was ancient or modern, this woman would be in trouble when she went out.

"Husband, wait a minute, Yuan Ji will be fine soon."

This time, Yan Baihu was not disappointed, and a few minutes later, Wang Yuanji finally left the room, but Yan Baihu couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw her outfit.

"Why is the husband laughing?"

"Ahem, Yuan Ji, let's go shopping, and it's autumn and it's very hot, why are you wrapping yourself so tightly?"

It can be seen that Wang Yuanji not only wrapped her body tightly, but even wore something to cover her hands and neck, and her face was covered with a scarf.

"Don't blame the husband, since Yuan Ji is already married to her husband and thinks she is a wife, how can she let others watch at will?" Wang Yuanji had a serious face, without the slightest hint of laughter.

"Then according to your meaning, if I don't take you out, I don't plan to go out in my life?"

Yan Baihu said this, but he remembered something before.

At the beginning, in order to develop the city as soon as possible, Yan Baihu did not think about letting Wang Yuanji carry out the task, after all, although her basic attributes are hidden and cannot be viewed, she is also a "military general" after all, so she should also be able to carry out instructions.

But when Yan Baihu made this suggestion, Wang Yuanji immediately expressed his refusal, and was very firm, seeing her like this, of course Yan Baihu was not reluctant. And now it seems that the reason why Wang Yuanji sternly refused at the beginning is probably like this.

"The husband laughed, if there was no husband to lead, Yuan Ji would naturally be able to go out, but he would never go to such a large public."

"Alright, let's go." What else can Yan Baihu say?

After half an hour of hurrying, Yan Baihu and his party first came to the "fish market", but as soon as they got off the carriage, Wang Yuanji fled back and refused to come down.

"It's too fishy here, and it's inconvenient for Yuan Ji to go in, so let Yuan Ji wait for her husband here." Wang Yuanji said.

Yan Baihu was indispensable, so he asked Yan Qing to stay and take care of it, and he took a few guards to enter the fish market to check.

To his surprise, this fish market is basically not much different from the modern fish market, at least its layout is similar, but there is no electrical equipment such as those "oxygen generators".

And because they didn't come at the right time, the fish market was not too lively, but it seemed a little lonely.

However, after looking around, Yan Baihu is still very satisfied, at least the hygiene management inside is not bad, but the fish market, the fishy smell is indeed heavier, and it is not very comfortable to stay for a long time.

In the afternoon, they came to a nearby market, which was much more lively than the fish market, and there was a wide variety of goods.

What made Yan Baihu even happier was that after arriving here, Wang Yuanji was finally willing to come out for a walk, and he seemed to be quite interested, but he didn't want to talk to other people, and he didn't buy anything.

"Yuanji, don't worry, if you have anything you like, tell me directly, and I'll buy it for you."

But even so, Wang Yuanji was still very reserved, until Yan Baihu repeatedly asked for it, and finally made it mandatory, that she pointed out that she wanted to buy a few gadgets, that is, some small ornaments made of bamboo pieces.

This kind of bamboo is not valuable, but it has a bit of elegance, so Yan Baihu bought a few more and put them at home, which can also add some elegance. In addition, when she went to the cloth store, Wang Yuanji became interested, picked out a few pieces of cloth, and said that she wanted to make clothes for Yan Baihu when she went back.

Of course, Yan Baihu himself felt troublesome, what kind of cloth to buy, isn't it good to buy finished clothes directly? But seeing that she is rarely interested, naturally she can't go against her will.

And in the evening, while there was still a little time, Yan Baihu went to the nearby mint, it is worth mentioning that this place is not open to the outside world, there is an army guard, and ordinary people can't enter.

Coincidentally, Wang Lang happened to be here to inspect the work.

In this way, it was led by Wang Lang to introduce Yan Baihu to the situation of the mint, and after that, Yan Baihu considered that Wang Yuanji and Wang Lang had not seen each other for many days, so he proposed to have a dinner together.

During the banquet, everyone's mood was not bad, and Wang Lang's attitude towards Yan Baihu at this time had changed a lot, and they got along quite well.

After dinner, Yan Baihu and Wang Yuanji went back first, but Wang Lang was going to rest at the mint for one night today, because he would continue to inspect tomorrow. This is his job, Yan Baihu is not easy to stop, and he has no intention of blocking.

--------------I'm a dividing line------------

When he returned to the Taishou Mansion, it was already around 7 o'clock in the evening, but Yan Baihu was not resting yet, because Yu Fu had been waiting for him in the government hall for a long time.

"My lord."

"Hey~ Yu turned, don't be polite." Yan Baihu hurriedly held it up, and then asked, "What is there for Xiao Shi to tell me, why do you want to run in person?" ”

"Lord, Hua Xin has news."

"Oh~"

Yan Baihu's heart was shocked, no wonder Yu Fu wanted to run this trip in person, Hua Xin's envoy to Yuan Shu, only Yu Fu and him knew about it, and did not tell anyone else.

"But the good news?"

"There's good news, but there's also bad news, and there's a lot of bad news." Yu Chuan said with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter, you can talk about it."

Hearing him say this, Yan Baihu's heart also sank, but his face still remained calm.

"Yes, my lord. Hua Xin sent someone to send news today, he arrived in Lujiang City half a month ago, hesitated there for a few days, and finally found the way, and met Yuan Shu a few days ago. ”

"The good news is that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to Hua Xin's visit, and he also accepts all the gifts given by the lord."

"Oh, good, but what about the bad news?"

Yan Baihu was not surprised by this, because as far as he knew, in the game, for the order of "goodwill" to give money for free, unless the original relationship was already very bad, otherwise, basically no force would refuse.

"There is a lot of bad news, one is that Ji Ling is just on the march, and Hua Xin can't reach it now; Second, Yuan Shu doesn't seem to have much interest in Jianye City, but has some intentions in Shouchun City; The third is that Yuan Shu is very proud, and he doesn't seem to look good for the lord. ”

"Hehe, this third point is not bad news, what we originally wanted was to make him look down on me, and Lao Capital himself was born as a thief, there is nothing to avoid this, he is the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, and he is really qualified to look down on me."

"However, Ji Ling is not in Lujiang City, it's a pity, as for Shouchun City? Hum! Unless Yuan Shu's brain was kicked by a donkey, otherwise, the fool would not have fought this city now. ”

The reason why Yan Baihu said this is because Shouchun City is a place of four battles, and there are no natural dangers to defend, nor any passes, and almost all of them are plains, which are difficult to defend.

The key thing is that around Shouchun, in addition to Yuan Shu, there are two fierce men.

One is Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general, and he has now occupied Beihai City and is attacking Xiaopei with all his might.

The other is Cao Cao of Xuchang, whose troops are many generals, and he has now occupied Runan, and the next step is likely to be to nail the target to Shouchun's Wuqiu Jian.

At this time, if Yuan Shu also intervened, it is estimated that he will not be far from death.

"Yes, lord, Hua Xin also mentioned in the letter that although Yuan Shu has this will, his military advisor Yang Hong, as well as others, are all opposed, and they are very interested in Jianye."

"Really? That's good news, too. ”

"In addition, Hua Xin also hopes to stay in Lujiang City for another ten days, first, to see if he can wait for Ji Ling, and second, he now wants to use the following methods to constantly contact Yang Hong and others, and wants to encourage them to persuade Yuan Shu."

"Hehe, Hua Xin is smart, this Yuan Shu is stubborn and self-serving, and it is estimated that the suspicion is not small, if he directly convinces Yuan Shu, I am afraid it will be very difficult, but if it is recommended by Yuan Shu himself, the effect will definitely be much better."

"Yes, my subordinates think so too." Yu Fu also smiled and nodded.

"In this case, you can reply to him, let him do things with peace of mind, as long as the core strategy remains the same, how to do it, let him decide for himself, no need to ask for instructions! Also, let him not be in too much of a hurry and be sure to pay attention to his own safety! ”

"Yes! Subordinates will do it! ”
