Like Xu Qian, Wang Hou also appointed Sun Tai and Wu Xian as mine supervisors, but Sun Tai was responsible for cutting trees, and Wu Xian was responsible for digging coal.

The only thing that is embarrassing is that Wu Xian's son happened to be unconvinced when he was stretching his tendons today, and he went to challenge his captain, but he was beaten by the kid, so that the baby son who was holding a blue nose and swollen face hugged his fists there to "thank" Wu Xian, who was taken care of by Wang Hou, and his bearded old face was a little stiff.

Fortunately, this guy has more than one son, and the ransom of his son with a coal mine is just an excuse for him.

After a good meal and drink, Wang Hou didn't let the two of them leave any hostages, but actually gave them a lot of silk brocade from Langya County, sending them back and forth happily.

Early in the morning, he followed Wang Hou out to see him off, and saw the two of them leave Longma Village with a large team of men and horses, and they were fast horses, and once again, Jia Xu's old face was gloomy as if someone owed him more than eighty taels of silver.

"Dong Weng is too kind-hearted! These Taishan thieves are capricious, in a sentence Guanzhong dialect, if you have milk, you are a mother! Now that Dong Weng has exterminated the Sifang Cottage, the military power has arrived, and these people have just surrendered, Dong Weng should take this opportunity to recruit their people, at least let them leave hostages! Let them go like this, once Changxi, Zang Ba or Yin Li return to Taishan County in the future, it will be easy to cause repetition! ”

"Don't you leave one?"

Looking at the kid who was still unconvinced by the blue nose and swollen face at the bottom, and waved goodbye to Wu Xian, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth couldn't help twitching again.

"Wenhe, what do you think loyalty is?"

"There is a difference between the top and the bottom, respect and humility are orderly, and the subordinates are loyal to the king!"

"Pull it down! I think loyalty is constant interests! The minister is loyal to the king, because in this framework, the minister's family can be exchanged for a lofty position, the vast field and the glory and wealth, I am loyal to Prime Minister Cao, but also because the prime minister married his second daughter to me, and granted me the official position of the field, Mr. Wenhe is now under me, on the one hand, I tied Mr. Wenhe to this boat, on the other hand, I Wang has a bit of luck, and I also have the opportunity to rise, yes or no? ”

Jia Xu was choked again, what Wang Hou said was not false at all, but what he said was too naked, and he tore off all the flowery words used by Confucianism to cover up this exchange of interests and threw it aside, which made Jia Xu extremely uncomfortable at the same time, but he had nothing to refute.

On the contrary, it was Wang Hou, who stood on the wall with his hands behind his back very confidently, watching the departure of the Taishan thieves below, full of arrogant smiles.

"These irons! The coal in the mountains, and these big trees, are worthless in their hands, no different from the stones under their feet, but in my hands, they can be turned into food, into cloth, into wealth, and I share half of their interests among each person, relying on these, they don't need to fight for that pitiful survival resource, and live a very nourishing life, without me, they have to go back to starve and freeze, even if they don't want them as hostages, how can they be disloyal to me? ”

Not to mention, this Wang Ba's anger made Wang Hou round, but unfortunately, he was not the shocked Jia Poison Shi who bowed his head, but Jia Xu pulled the old face out of his pocket and pulled out the account book, and read it seriously.

"If Dong Weng really has the ability to turn these things into food, then hurry up and change them! The 100,000 stone corn brought from Langya is now only more than 20,000 stone, and if there is no new grain in the warehouse, it may not be able to survive this winter! ”

"Uh......, is that all there is left?"

In an instant, there was no image, grabbing his hair, Wang Hou's flesh was like a grande, and he shouted sadly.

"These pigs' heads are too edible!"

"It's not that Dong Weng is too generous!"

…………

Things still developed in the direction that Wang Hou wanted, even if Wang Hou didn't let the two big thieves Wu Xian and Sun Tai leave any hostages, and did not take the opportunity to exploit their army, but now it is still in Wang Hou's deterrent period, the two of them returned to their own cottage for more than 20 days, 500 trucks of coal, and more than 1,000 giant trees in the mountain, and they were all pulled to the bottom of the mountain in Longma Village.

However, due to the fact that the "liquidity chain" is now somewhat broken, Boss Wang, who is generous, also has to make an IOU.

Heaven still favors Wang Hou, the reason why he laid this Longma Village as a stronghold is because this place is not far from Pingyang, and near Kaiyang, next to Yishui, Yishui can go down the river to the Yangdu of Langya Kingdom, and near Yangdu, Yishui and Haihe River meet, from here to the east is Ju County, which is occupied by Zangba.

There was a busy scene everywhere on the river beach, and it happened that the giant trees of Mount Tai sent by Sun Tai were tied together with ropes, and they formed a raft, and then the coal mines, iron ores, and many tiger skins, deer skins, and wild boar skins that were hunted in the mountains during this period were transported to the raft by Wang Hou's command.

This time Wang Hou also took two 800 troops and 3,000 reserve soldiers to the south, originally Wang Hou planned to let Jia Xu stay in the village, but the old guy said that he would follow, he wanted to see how Wang Hou turned these iron ore, coal and wood into food, no way, Wang Hou had to leave the heavy responsibility of staying behind, entrusted to the Wenchen Zhuge Lie and the military general Zhao Yun who had just taken refuge in the custody.

"After I set off, the cottage continued to build the wall, continued to dig iron, and Lao Zhao, you also continued to train the troops! Don't start the war lightly, but if someone dares to hit the door, cut it to death, don't be soft! ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

It was the first time to be entrusted with this, Zhuge Lie was excited, like a young man who had just joined the work, he was a little trembling and bowed heavily with his fists, as for Zhao Yun, the old fritter, he was a little lazy, and he replied like he didn't wake up, which made Wang Hou glare at him angrily.

But in an instant, his gaze became gentle again, and he looked behind him, and in Wang Hou's gaze, Lu Ji gently lifted his skirt and bowed lightly.

He can also be regarded as a balance of power, the civil and military families are separated, and the big things are decided by the wife, but this time, he threw Lu Ji down to look after the house, and in the farewell of his subordinates, he boarded the raft and went south while the river was not frozen, and then Wang Hou stared at Cao Xiaoniu beside him with heavy eyes.

"Look at people, know a lot! You're so willful, you have to come along! ”

Now Cao Hongjie is much more feminine, standing on the side of a pile of goods in a lotus-colored dark dress with small hands, listening to Wang Hou's criticism, this girl rolled her eyes widely.

"That's because Sister Lu knows that she can't look at you, so I came to see you, besides, without Miss Ben covering you, can you live so full of moisture and life?"

"Cut! This official is a dignified Qingzhou pastor! Du Tinghou! I want you little woman to cover it! You're not afraid...... Alas...... Alas...... Alas...... Oops! ”

I really can't say too much, I didn't finish a big word about the artifact, the raft under Wang Hou's feet suddenly slammed into the reef, and the two staggered, and the goods fell into the river upside down, but I knew that he couldn't swim, so he shook his head helplessly, and as soon as he took off his long skirt and coat, Cao Hongjie also jumped into the water, and dragged the collar of the cargo to the boat.

Sitting on the coal pile, watching the dignified Qingzhou Mu fluttering and screaming in the water, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh with his head raised, and he suddenly suspected that he had made a mistake in his head and followed such an unreliable lord.

"Dong Weng, rope! Grab the rope! ”

…………

This time, nearly a dozen tons of goods were transported, and it took seventeen or eighteen days to enter the territory of Chengyang County from Taishan County, but Jia Xu was still getting more and more confused, how much grain could Zangba in Juxian County? And even if Zang Ba has food, he can exchange these broken wood and stones with Wang Hou.

In his doubts, Wang Hou passed through Ju County without heart or lungs, walked a land route with a forcibly requisitioned ox cart, arrived at Wulian Mountain, and then released the row again, walked the Lotus River, and finally arrived at the sea.

In the future, this seaside is incredible, and the houses are tens of thousands of square meters, because this is an important port in the north and a sanctuary for recuperation, Rizhao City! But now, it is still a tidal flat and desolate, out of a few small fishing villages, within a radius of 100 miles, there is no human habit.

The blazing beach sun made Jia Xu's eyes glaze, Wang Hou was not strong, he didn't drink water for a long time, his lips and skin were dry, but standing on the big stone at the mouth of the river, he always held a telescope and kept looking into the sea.

I don't know how many hours I looked at, and in the midst of the fire, finally a few small black dots appeared in his telescope lens from the sea!
