Under the afternoon sun, the Shenji Battalion walked in the wilderness, on the grassland.

It has been four days since the procedures were completed quickly and decisively left Xingqing Mansion. During this period, Miss Cao did not smile or like to talk, except for occasionally watching the big bird silently from a distance, she ignored anyone.

No one else knows what's going on. It's just that the big goose with a good heart knows that she is not confused but can't figure it out.

Now Cao Qing feels familiar and strange to herself, this feeling is really strange. She didn't know what happened during the "prison", so much so that after she was released from prison, she took the initiative to push the big demon king down, which was obviously the shameless behavior she hated the most before, but at the time she would have liked it very much.

Miss Cao also knew what happened to Wang Yan, the envoy of the Great Demon King to Xingqing Mansion was simply a bizarre deed, he had a lot of compromises and grievances that did not come out, and Miss Cao, who had a Taoist heart, felt that she should feel sorry for him. However, the demon seed in her heart made her smile at the tragedies and grievances of the Great Demon King in Xingqing Mansion.

Overall, these are the current Cao Qing styles. The Dao Heart Demon Cultivator gave her a beautiful appearance of pity and seriousness, and her psychology was also buried with obscenity and blackness.

The big goose is the complete opposite, and under the skin of the flamboyant and hateful faint official, there is a good conscience buried.

These have led to Miss Cao and Wang Yan not talking much, but there is an attraction to each other, which is an essential sustenance, like heaven and earth intertwining, and twins all things.

According to these phenomena, Wang Yan, who has no teacher, has some experience. Whether it is a Dao Heart Seed Demon or a Demon Heart Dao Seed, it seems to be powerful, but when it exists alone, it has great flaws. Only when the two pieces of the puzzle are really combined, the four elephants are also all the elephants. It's like a complete Taiji diagram, which is the real meaning.

So you don't have to try to know that when Dayan and Miss Cao appear together, they are the nemesis of the Ethereal Peak's divine technique "Eight Desolations and Liuhe Sun Changing Dafa".

Wang Yan thought about this, and Miss Cao in the distance had a sense, so she rode over and leaned against Wang Yan to walk.

Cao Qing said: "There have been many mysterious events, why aren't you curious." For example, during this period, the movement of the royal family of the Liao State, the general of Yelu Hongji left Shangjing, etc., in addition, he arranged for you to get into Xiao Yanshan's carriage, and you were almost killed by Song Guo's own people, and so on, it is very similar to eating yourself and making trouble, but you came to drive without making a sound? ”

Wang Yan said: "There will be no truth in many things. Just because it looks like eating more than yourself, it doesn't have to be. He wanted to trick me, but he shouldn't have been able to launch such a big incident, which involved more than one country, so if I guessed correctly, a lot of things happened in our own Song Kingdom during this period. It's just that I didn't get a debriefing. ”

"What are you going to do with me next, I'm still an important wanted criminal in the Song Kingdom?" Cao Qing asked without paying too much attention.

"Leave the work of justifying your name for the future. It's not that hard. As a matter of urgency, it is more beneficial for me that you are in the shadows with this reputation. Wang Yan said heartlessly: "Now it seems that the sky has been changed, I am not sure what the situation in Bianjing is, I will not go to Beijing to report on my work, Miss Cao took the first step, and after secretly entering Beijing to figure out the situation, she told me." ”

"Why do you think it's good for me to have a reputation as a wanted criminal?" Cao Qing asked curiously.

"Your master had a star change prophecy a long time ago. So he must be in Bianjing during this period, and after you really go to see him with the reputation of treason, you can basically judge the general situation. Because if he has something unspeakable, he will only trust you at this time, and then use you. Wang Yan said.

Cao Qing thought about it and felt that it was too obscene, but she vaguely liked the feeling of this heartbeat.

Presumably, she didn't say goodbye, so she quickly left the brigade and entered Beijing first......

Although the Western Xia Xiangyou Military Division has broken the rules recently, there have been 8,000 elite cavalry stationed on the front line of Yongle City in the sensitive area, and there is friction and confrontation with the Funing Army, but there is always no danger.

Regarding the size of Funing County, the broken city wall, less than 600 cavalry, and a cause to be rebuilt, it is false to say that Funing County is not worried about this period.

At the beginning, the common people believed in Wang Yan and had confidence, so although Funing County was not rich, most of them repaired houses, or built new houses, purchased furniture, got married and had children.

Finally, with this hard-won everything, everyone is afraid of losing, so everyone is afraid. Because as long as there is any change, the eight thousand Xixia elite cavalry in Yongle City will only need one day to be able to march under the city of Funing County.

During this period, the economy was also greatly affected, because under such a situation, many small and medium-sized traders who had initially believed in Funing County and frequently traveled back and forth between Suidejun and Funing County did not dare to come. They do need to do business, but on the condition that they hide in the Suide fortress and let Funing County deliver to their doors.

There are no extra people in Funing County to deliver goods, and they are basically full.

After Wang Yan left, the tone of production could not be changed, so all the security personnel, as well as some old, weak, sick and disabled people, were organized to participate in the delivery of materials.

In this way, the Funing Army has its own tasks and cannot be managed.

As a result, the real loss of the economy was that the door-to-door delivery teams during this period were often robbed by unknown horse thieves in cavalry posture. Many of the output materials of Funing County have been looted, and there have been some casualties.

In the four months since Wang Yan's absence, more than 30 people have been killed or wounded.

Who exactly is the horse thief?

Who knows, they came and went without a trace, maybe the bandits from Sanshan and Qizhai took advantage of this opportunity for the Funing Army to be trapped to make trouble, and it was also possible that Cao Shouyi, who had a grudge against Funing County, made a trick.

In short, the rear is okay now, but Funing County, as the first line, has been in an atmosphere of war and chaos.

However, none of the locals in Funing County have escaped, on the contrary, the population is still slowly increasing. This is because of the policy set by Dayan before: no fugitive households, no tax on personal tax.

This policy is a strategic-level weapon, and it has continued consistently until now, and those who hid at the beginning, or those who took refuge in Sanshan Qizhai are not fools, from the early wait-and-see, to the tentative joining in the mid-term, until now, many people are willing to come to Funing County.

Since there is no accountability for the past, there are tax incentives and support, so who really wants to be a slave in the bandits?

Perhaps it was for this reason that the bandits in Sanshan and Qizhai lost a lot of slaves, and they began to take advantage of the situation to rob the caravan in Funing County. However, this is only a speculation of the county government leadership team, and it cannot really be confirmed.

During this period, everyone has their own problems, but the unified tone is to endure it. Wang Yan, as the son of the prime minister and the county master, also took risks in the territory of Western Xia, and at the same time, rumors spread in the rear of the Song Kingdom, and many news were unfavorable to Wang Yan.

Thinking of this, the young Lu Huiqing stood on the wall of the new city of Funing County, frowning with his hands behind his back, watching the truckloads of ore from the Beishan mining area continue to be transported into the county. By the way, there is also coke cement from Ye Wushuang's factory in Funing County, which began to travel far after being loaded with carts, and continuously transported it to the Suide army in the rear.

The Ye family is indeed awesome, Wang Yan is not capable of pushing the Suide army to use a large number of these things, but Ye Wushuang has, and now she has used various channels from top to bottom to promote a large number of cement to Suide Fortress.

There are no surprises, when the war clouds are thick, it is always the time when the warlords have the least resistance to defraud military spending. Since Wang Anshi's policy is to tolerate and restraint, then defense is the mainstay. And for this reason, Li Shen applied for a large amount of defensive funds for passive construction offensives in various places.

So at the moment when Han Qi is using cement, Suide Fortress and Cao Shouyi, who have received additional funds, do not care about the performance and price of cement, and there is only one thing in life for Cao Shouyi: benefits.

If Ye Wushuang's cement is purchased in an official manner, there will be a large number of "rebates", which is enough, and the special military funds can be used. Even if the cement is a pit goods, Cao Shouyi doesn't care, not to mention that the special cement is really magical and easy to use.

So there is no problem, taking advantage of the current tense situation, Ye Wushuang's Northwest Investment Banking business has grown explosively, and a large number of coke is sold to the folk blacksmiths of the Suide Military Region, so that they can upgrade the quality of forging. In addition, a large amount of cement was sold to the Suide Army officials to share the cake of the extra military expenses.

So there is really no one available in Funing County, Ye Wushuang's production capacity is not enough, the order cannot be produced, and there has already been a labor panic, but all the people who can move, the remaining ones who have been picked by the smelter of the state-owned enterprise machinery factory have been hired by Ye Wushuang.

It was only at this time that Ye Wushuang discovered how wise his uncle was at the beginning, and it seemed that he spent a sky-high price to purchase one hundred and twenty steam engines that were frenzied, and ate half of the production capacity of the Northwest Machinery Factory.

Now it really plays a role, and it is an exclusive, the entire Great Song Dynasty does not even have a steam engine for Han Qi, only Funing County and the Ye family have it.

There are not enough people, only a lot of machines. It is true that labor is much cheaper, but slaves are not allowed to exist in Funing County, and the residents of the Suide Military Region are reluctant to come to work in Funing County at this time.

There is also uncle's internal information: Rest assured to invest, the Songxia War can't be fought now, and Wang Yan can bear it in Western Xia.

As a result, the countless mines in Ye Wu's hands have deployed as many as fifteen modified steam engines. As a result, the population of Funing County has not increased much, but the increase in production capacity is frenzy.

The machine cannot work on its own, and it must have a matching transmission system. Therefore, the assembly of the mine conveyor belt can only be designed and customized by a machinery factory, and then more than a dozen sets are produced at the price of the pit father.

The little uncle in the capital has inside information, I heard that Ye Qinghua ordered one hundred and twenty steam engines, so the little uncle smelled the smell of oil, since there is a steam engine, then the transmission system can make a lot of money, so during this period, Cao Ji's coal yard is also developing various transmission schemes with first-mover manufacturing experience.

Cao Ji's plan can also be used, which is much more mature than the Ye family's own hasty research and development, but it is still not as good as the Northwest Machinery Factory. There is not much difference in the design ideas, but the process quality and other aspects are still lacking in skills, and there are no major problems but many small problems.

Therefore, in the bidding of the Northwest Investment Bank, even if the price of the transmission assembly of Caoji Jingcheng Coal Yard was more than three percent lower than that of Funing County Machinery Factory, Ye Wushuang finally ordered the best quality "Made in Funing County".

Cao Ji's mouth was crooked in this regard, the conscience of heaven and earth, and the things made in the coal yard were indeed criticized as copycats and shoddy in Tokyo, but Cao Ji swore that the transmission system was really a conscience and the most cost-effective, but he failed to get the order?

Fortunately, the machine ordered by the Ye family is not only used in the northwest, but of course the capital will also deploy the largest share, so Ye Wushuang is Ye Wushuang, Ye Qinghua is Ye Qinghua, and Ye Qinghua himself is already inspecting the coal yard, and the future transmission system orders are intended to be handed over to the "Made in Tokyo" with a lower price and closer distance.

On the whole, although Funing County is now panicking and has losses, it still makes a lot of money. The machinery factories and smelters under the key protection of the Funing Army have been awesome, selling materials, machines, and solutions, and making money is called a madman.

Yes, the materials are also making a lot of money, in addition to the various models of Song Iron and Steel purchased by Funing County, Cao Ji in Tokyo also began to purchase a large number of various models of Song Iron and Steel in the smelter in order to enter the high-end manufacturing field and win Ye Qinghua's order.

The young scholar Lu Huiqing swore that only when he came to this Funing County would he know what magic was. In the past, he never dreamed that a county town with thousands of people could have so many finances?

Lu Huiqing is the second year of Jiayou this year, and in view of the confusing situation in Western Xia and the fact that the situation in Western Xia has been confusing for too long, there are many rumors and rumors that his reputation is not good. So he put this young scholar Lu Huiqing in Quanzhi County, Funing County, and came to experience.

As for what to do with Wang Yan and what to do with Funing County in the future, the court has not explained for the time being. Roughly speaking, it means that key counties cannot be left without government for so long.

In a short period of time after Wang Yan took over, Funing County has become a key county in the Great Song Dynasty. Even if Wang Yan intercepted a large amount of money in last year's financial report, it still scared the ministers in the capital, and it was really scared.

It's just that now the war is about to break out, and the situation inside the capital is also very weird, and there is still no annual summary, so the deeds of Funing County have not been publicized.

The people of Funing County are panicked, but the production is still frenzied, but everywhere there will be smoke, there is billowing smoke, as if a monster was born.

Unlike before, when the mining area was full of people, now there are far fewer people, and conveyor belts and steam engines are running at twelve o'clock.

During this period, the little bell will always take Erya's hand and climb the new city wall to look at it from afar. It's almost the middle of March now, and Erya stays here until sunset every day, wanting to see her brother sometime.

Today's sun is bright and lucky, after climbing the city wall, in addition to hearing that there is a company camp-like horn blowing all the way, I also saw a team from a distance approaching Funing County, which is the return of the envoy's team.

"Miss, look, they're back." The little bell had a lot of strength and picked up Erya to watch.

Erya held her little hand tightly and was very excited.

Lu Huiqing, a young scholar who was also on the city wall, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and after watching Shaoqing, he turned around and ordered the whole of Berlin: "Take people to follow this county and welcome the return of the Great Song Dynasty envoys." ”

"The county is respectful, and the sent team has gone to escort the supplies, and there are no extra personnel." All Berlin said embarrassedly.

Lu Huiqing glared at her bald head and took the lead in turning around and going down to the city......
