Chapter 154: Rewarding the People

Half an hour later, in a family near Bao'en Temple in the small east gate, Chang Yu stood in front of the door and turned his head to ask a Jinyi guard captain next to him: "This is it?" ”

"Lord Huichang, this is it, the brothers have been monitoring for almost half a month."

"What's wrong?" Chang Yu asked again,

"Under house arrest, stay at home"

"Okay, go in and kill," Chang Yu said lightly.

Captain Jinyi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Kill them all?" ”

"No, only kill Zhang Xiong" said and turned to leave, and suddenly said: "Check Zhang Xiong's relatives in the army, kill them all"

"Yes, Master Factory Governor" Captain Jinyi immediately waved his hand and rushed in with a few companions, and soon a miserable scream was heard.

I want soldiers and soldiers, food and food, money and money, even the traitor I will kill first, if you can still take Taiyuan blind Li, Lao Tzu will obey you! Chang Yu walked slowly on the streets of Taiyuan, with a sneer on his face, followed by the entourage of the twenty eunuch army.

As he was walking, suddenly a group of people and horses came from the opposite side, half a hundred, and he walked towards the south with a fierce momentum

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked, but it was a person from the Jin Palace, and the King of Jin was heroic and handsome on the first batch of brown horses. If it is in the future life, it will inevitably cause fans to go crazy.

Obviously, Zhu Xianxuan also saw Chang Yu, and the horse walked over slowly, because of the hangover last night, his face was very pale.

"Where did Grandpa Chang come from in this hurry, where are you going?"

Chang Yu smiled slightly and bowed to him: "I just killed someone, and I'm going to go out of the city to breathe."

Zhu Xianxuan raised his eyebrows, but an exclamation came from the carriage behind him: "Murderous ......" immediately poked his head out, but it was the county lord Zhu Zhi'e

"This king heard that General Zhou's soldiers were training outside the city, and he wanted to wait and see, since Chang Gonggong also wanted to go outside the city to breathe, why don't you go together?"

Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "The place where our family wants to breathe is in Nancheng, and it is not easy to get along with the prince."

"Is there anything to be seen in the South City?" Zhu Xianxuan asked with his head sideways.

"There are people, there are refugees, there are porridge sheds, does the prince want to watch the people first, or watch the army?" Chang Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Xianxuan rode on the horse and was silent, and glanced at Chang Yu half-loudly: "The king of food and salary has also donated, success or failure is in this move, the affairs in the city are chaotic at the moment, the king wants to do his best, if there is someone who can help, the factory official will order."

He called Chang Yu the factory company, which showed that he was doing business.

This young man is good, Chang Yu secretly praised in his heart, knowing that going out to find something to do is much better than crying and begging for Buddha in the house.

Chang Yu pondered for a while and said: "Military affairs must be not proficient in the prince, that is the general soldier of Zhou, the full-time of the general soldier, the government affairs are handled by Governor Cai, and the governor of Sun Mansion, as for let's do what we can, the prince is well-connected in the city, you might as well contact some wealthy businessmen to make a donation, once the food and salary in your hands are sufficient, the people's morale will be greatly boosted."

This can be had, Zhu Xianxuan nodded slightly, and then explained to the steward on the side, asking him to immediately contact the rich and noble in the city to gather in the palace tonight.

After explaining, Zhu Xianxuan looked at Chang Yu and smiled: "Grandpa Chang said that he could do his best, this king wants to know what Grandpa Chang is good at?" ”

"We don't have any skills, only good at co-ordination!" Chang Yu smiled.

"What is co-ordination?" Zhu Xianxuan asked with a smile.

"It's extortion," Zhu Zhi'e's disdainful voice came from the car.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly, the county lord understands me.

In the end, Zhu Xianxuan did not go to the west of the city to see Zhou Yuji training troops, but turned his horse and went to Nancheng with Chang Yu.

The two rode side by side, with few words along the way, Zhu Xianxuan's brows were twisted into a circle, looking at the large number of refugees pouring in from the south, his face became more and more ugly.

"Father-in-law Chang, estimate how many refugees there will be?"

Chang Yu pondered for a while: "From Jiexiu, the north of Fenzhou, Jiaocheng, Qingxu, Jinyuan County (now Jinyuan District), Qi County, Taigu, Yuci (now Jinzhong City) The people of the six counties should not be bad."

Zhu Xianxuan's brows tightened: "Why don't you mention Wenshui, Pingyao County?" ”

"These two counties are too close to Jiexiu and Fenzhou, and too far from Taiyuan, but the tentacles of the thief army have arrived, and there will not be too many refugees who wish to trek here."

Zhu Xianxuan was silent.

There are two city gates in the south of Taiyuan City, which are divided into big south gate and small south gate.

At this time, porridge sheds were built near the two gates, and there were more than 10 steaming cauldrons under each shed, and there were rice porridge and soup in the country, and the porridge was a whole grain and a bone broth to warm up.

Every porridge shed has been surrounded by water, the officials and soldiers are maintaining order, and the faces of the refugees who have braved the wind and snow to travel a long way here finally have some warmth.

Under the bulletin wall, there were more people around, and the smiles on the faces of the refugees were even stronger.

Queue up, register, pick up tools, and then soldiers take them to construction and expand the moat.

Zhu Xianxuan's arrival caused a commotion, the horses were beautiful boys, and the fancy clothes and incense cars were pompous, which soon caused the crowd to discuss.

"Who is this young man, how good-looking he is?"

"Young man? You didn't look at the jade python robe, and the age is young, as expected, this is the prince, the king of Jin in Taiyuan City" The person with a little insight said, and immediately caused the people around to exclaim, it turned out to be the little prince.

"Wow, look, there's a beautiful woman coming out of that incense car, isn't it a princess?"

"What kind of concubine is the king, I heard that the little prince is only married but has not yet married, you see that the woman is a little similar to the little prince, and it is estimated that it should be the county lord."

"Wow, how do you know everything, what are you doing?"

"I look at the appearance, this little brother sees that your Yintang is black, do you want to ......?"

"Black your uncle, I haven't washed my face for a few days, of course black ......"

Zhu Xianxuan got off the horse, Zhu Zhi'e got out of the car, and as the identities of the two were exposed, the crowd became more and more lively, and Hula all gathered around, wanting to see the prince and county lord of Taiyuan City.

With a smile on their faces, the two of them squeezed their way through the crowd under the protection of their attendants, walked under a porridge shack and looked at the pot, then picked up a spoon and began to cook for the refugees.

The king of Jin and the county lord were cooking in the porridge shed over there, and the news exploded outside the southern city in an instant, and the curious refugees began to flock to the porridge shed.

Under a porridge shed not far away, there was almost no one, Chang Yu drank a bowl of hot soup, and another bowl of it, slowly walking towards the south moat and drinking.

The moat was only a mile from the city walls, and the water was shallow and frozen, and many people came and went directly from the ice.

Standing by the moat, Chang Yu frowned and looked around, reached out and pulled out the steel knife from Chunxiang's waist, jumped into the river, and then thrust it hard.

There was a click, and the ice splattered, but the tip of the knife was only a few inches in.

Chang Yu continued to exert force, and kept pounding more than a dozen times in a row, and finally saw the water, and after a little measurement, it was more than 20 centimeters thick.

With an exhalation, Chang Yu walked to the shore again and dug the dirt by the river with a knife, it was very hard!

The brow furrowed even deeper.

"I'm afraid of the previous discussion, it's difficult to make a difference" A voice came from behind him, Chang Yu turned around and saw a particularly thin person, Governor Cai Maode came, followed by Mao Wenbing, the superintendent, and Lin Gang.

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "I didn't expect the frozen ground to be so hard" said and looked at the Fen River in the west of the city, there was a military horse along the river heading south, it should be Zhou Yuji who transferred troops to the front line again, looking at the direction of due east, sighing in his heart, his original plan to dig another trench a few miles south of the moat may be stranded.

"But you can't give up because the project is short and difficult, you might as well build two lines at the same time, while expanding the moat, and digging a trench a few miles south of Taiyuan City outside the moat, and do as much as you can before the thieves come to the city." Chang Yu's eyes were full of determination.

"Xia Guan has always been puzzled, at this time the weather is cold, digging trenches to divert water into ice, there is not much obstacle to the thieves, they can still step on the ice and easily attack the city" Lin Gangzhong shook his head.

"The main purpose of digging trenches is not to keep the infantry of the thief army from approaching, but to prevent their cavalry and artillery from approaching easily, and if the two armies cannot easily get close, it will be more difficult for them to attack the city."

Cai Maode explained, Lin Gangzhong nodded slightly.

"Even the infantry governor will not let them easily approach the city wall" Chang Yu looked at the ice of the moat, smiled strangely, and then said to Cai Maode: "Governor Cai, please send some old and young women from the refugees to cut down trees in the mountains to the west."

"What do you do with logging? Refugee camps? Cai Maode wondered.

"That's second"

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "You go to someone first, and our family will leave a pass first."

Cai Maode no longer asked, his eyes looked at the long line of refugees who were rushing to Taiyuan in the distance, and his face was sad: "Hundreds of thousands of lives in one city!" ”

"So, let's either die in battle or surrender" Chang Yu looked at him with a smile.

"Will the factory governor descend?"

Cai Maode also smiled, and even Mao Wenbing and others behind him also smiled.

"Our family will only surrender," Chang Yu's eyes were full of coldness.

Cai Maode and the others laughed.
