In the big tent of Hedong Jiechi, Yang held the handwritten letter of his mother Dugu and fell into thought, and with this letter came the 5000 Imperial Forest Forbidden Army specially approved by his father, and the leader was Yuwen Chengdu, who was his childhood playmate. The first thing Yang Er recognized at first sight was the famous Divine Soldier Phoenix Wings Gilding Boring, this thing was too ostentatious in this era, and when he saw it, he knew that Yuwen Chengdu had arrived.

Yang Er and Yuwen Chengdu have known each other since childhood. The Yuwen family also continued the intimate relationship between the children of the clan and the royal family, and this relationship has benefited the Yuwen family, and it has become the first family gate valve of the Great Sui Dynasty in addition to the royal family. It's just that in recent years, Yuwen Chengdu, this kid has been accepted by the retired Great Sui Founding Meritorious Yu Juluo as a closed disciple to practice martial arts behind closed doors, which is relatively rare. Yuwen Chengdu was very happy to appear in front of Yang Er this time, this was the first time he led the army to go out after he had learned something, although he was not going into battle to fight, but it was better to go out of the Beijing division than to be aggrieved every day in the forbidden army camp. What's more, he went to obey orders under His Royal Highness the King of Fa Xiaojin, and the mood was exceptionally happy.

The queen mother's letter was full of longing between the lines, and it also revealed that she didn't like the boss Yang Yong. It seems that his strategy is very successful, and the prince's personality in the heart of the queen mother has collapsed. Father Yang Jian used modern words that is "strict wife", if the queen mother agrees with herself, it will be the greatest help for her to win the heir. Yang Er felt that his plan had been successful for most of the time.

"Your Highness, according to the arrangement of Master Pei, the last general has replaced all the Luzhou Mansion soldiers guarding the salt farm, and now the salt field is under the control of our forbidden army within 10 miles." Just as Yang Er was still pondering, Yuwen Chengdu, who had a rough personality, lifted the curtain and entered. The generals of the Jin Palace's guards who guarded the big tent all knew Yuwen Chengdu, and this kid was quite difficult to mess with, and he didn't touch his bad head, so he let him enter and leave the big tent of the Chinese army, and the connection was saved, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin didn't blame them. When Zhang Zhongjian and Zhang Chuchen had not yet returned to the building, Yuwen Chengdu was the best personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness Chitose.

Seeing Yuwen Chengdu, who was nearly nine feet tall, enter with a sword, Yang Er also smiled and motioned for him to find a place to sit down. Although Yuwen Chengdu has a big nerve and has been close to Yang Er since childhood, he also knows the etiquette of the upper and lower levels. After coming in, he sat down on the couch on the right side of the case and listened to Yang Er's instructions.

"Chengdu! It's been a lot of hard work for you to arrange a change of guard before you have even rested here. How about getting drunk with you at night for your brother? Yang Er said to Yuwen Chengdu easily. Yang Er felt that although Yuwen Chengdu was tall and strong at this time, and his martial arts were extraordinary, his thoughts were very simple like a blank piece of paper, and all he thought about in his mind was martial arts and exercises, and he was boiling his muscles and bones. There is no such thing as his father's flowery intestines. Guide well, this guy will be the most proud cadre around him, this is the second iron boss in the rankings of various generals in the Great Sui Dynasty!. The death of Li Laosi's hand will definitely not happen, and a fool would let such a good brother die?

"Your Highness, Chengdu is busy all the way, and Jin really doesn't drink a drop of wine according to his master's orders! At the middle end of this intersection is the fade bird, and I look forward to seeing His Highness and His Highness have a good drink! Yuwen Chengdu bowed to Yang Er and said.

"Okay, slaughter cattle and sheep at night, and let the brothers of the forbidden army who come here with you drink and relax. Recently, I learned a first-hand barbecue skill for my brother, and I should eat it with my virtuous brother. Yang Er said to Yuwen Chengdu with a smile, thinking that he hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time, and now that he has fine salt, he can just eat a good barbecue.

"There are more brothers, then the little brother will go and talk to the big guy, so that the brothers are happy." Yuwen Chengdu was in a happy mood, stood up, Shi Li finished speaking, and turned around to leave the account.

Yang Er saw that Yuwen Chengdu was out of the account, so he called a general outside the account and instructed him to arrange the wine and meat. The general of the family ordered the account to be arranged. At this time, Pei Yun was full of money, and his face was slightly panicked.

"Tell Your Highness that the Marquis Yu who was sent to Lincheng, Jizhou to visit Master Li, has returned." Seeing Pei Yun's flustered expression. Yang Er knew that something must have happened, so he got up and asked:

"What, didn't Li Chun find it, or didn't come to see me after seeing my handwritten recruitment letter?" Yang Er's face looked extremely displeased. Don't you give King Jin's face, or who dares to hold on to it!

"Your Royal Highness, the Marquis Yu in my account is very neat and old, and there is no one in the world who dares to detain the prince without long eyes. But people are indeed detained. Pei Yun had a bitter look on her face, and she almost cried.

"Mr. Pei, you don't have to be like this, sit down and talk slowly." Yang Er's voice softened and said with a little comfort.

"Your Royal Highness, my Marquis Yu and four guards rushed to Lincheng to find that Li Chun, Li Chun was quite moved when he saw the prince's recruitment documents, and immediately said goodbye to his wife and returned with my Marquis Yu. But I don't want to encounter a mountain bandit in the official road in the Taihang Mountain in the blue sky and daylight, and the leader of the mountain bandits actually recognized Li Dajiang and did not let go, so he had to invite the master craftsman to go up the mountain, saying that he wanted the master craftsman to reorganize the walled wall for him. My Yuhou cadre said that he couldn't say anything, and he didn't dare to be tough, so he had to abandon Master Li and hurriedly return to report the news, alas! The lower officials are not in a good position, and they have failed the orders of the prince, so please ask the prince to punish the crime. Pei Yun was about to kneel down after speaking.

"Oh! That is the ringing horse? Whoever dares to withhold this king. Did Yu Hou see it clearly? "Yang Er knows that this Taihang Mountain Garden is vast, the mountain shape is dangerous, and it has been a place where bandits have gathered since ancient times. If it's good, most likely it's because you have met the purple-faced king of the majestic sea.

"Your Highness, the leader of the mountain bandits did not register his surname, but my Marquis Yu and his entourage all saw a big road flag behind him, and there was a word "Wu" in the center of the flag, and the weapon in the hand of this leader was very unique, the same as the divine weapon in the hands of General Yuwen. Pei Yun replied, with a slightly soothing expression on his face.

Yang Er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, there were only two generals who made boring in this Great Sui Dynasty, one was the general of Yuwen Chengdu, and the other was Wu Tianxi, the king of the mountain. Could it be this Wu Tianxi? There is a Wu character on the banner, it seems that it must be him. Hehe! All right!

"Call Zhai and let the general come in." Yang Er was overjoyed, but also wanted to confirm here, because he now has a plan in his heart to join the Wu family brothers, this is a gift from God to my fierce general! In order to be stable, he hurriedly asked people to find Zhai Rang, who was born in Green Forest Road, and wanted to confirm it from his mouth. Because Wu Tianxi seems to occupy Tuoluo Village, whether it is in the Taihang Mountains of Hebei Province, I really can't remember.

"Lord Wang, what is the matter with calling your subordinates?" Zhai Rang quickly entered the big tent and asked in a hurry.

"Let me ask you, are you familiar with the green forest road in this Hebei area?" Yang Er looked at Zhai Rang standing in the tent with expectant eyes.

"Lord Wang, there are many heroes in this green forest road, each dominating one side and not intruding on each other, but each side has one or two heroes who carry the handle to deter one party. In the green forests of the east of the river, everyone knows my Zhai Rang's name. I also know the names of heroes such as Hebei and Shandong. Who does the prince want to inquire? Zhai Rang proudly said the rules in the green forest. It's like this Hedong Green Forest Road is the one who carries the handle, Zhai Rang has no one else.

"Do you know Tuoluo Village?"

"Don't you know, that Tuoluo Village is in the east of Qinshui Hebei boundary, is the only way for my Hedong to Hebei, and it also belongs to the Taihang Mountains, and the heroes in the cottage only rob the rich, the giants, and the corrupt officials, and the people have no crimes. The king of Tuoluozhai is very good, his name is Wu Tianxi, and he is good at making a half-moon mixed gold pistol weighing 200 catties, and he is more than a long zhang. Heroes are incomparable, and they have the courage of ten thousand people. Zhai Rang replied.

"Oh? It's a coincidence, and he's a master of the hammer, I'll stay for a while to see if it's his hammer weight or my strength! Yang Erxin was overjoyed and didn't talk yet. That Yuwen Chengdu didn't know when he had come to the tent, and he happened to hear Zhai Rang talking about Wu Tianxi. As a young man, he immediately had the intention of fighting.

"Since Chengdu is going to meet, King Wu has a chance." Yang Er said to Yuwen Chengdu. "There are also green forest roads in the green forest, and there are rules, that is, if you go to renovate the village, you will not be embarrassed by him. Presumably, there will be good hospitality, and there is no danger of life for the time being. This is for Pei Yun to hear.

"Mr. Pei, first put aside the matter of rescuing Li Chun and exploring the trade route to the south, and I have my own arrangements. And you and Zheng Fengchi and his son discussed selling salt to the north and exchanging more good horses. When I get back to 10,000 horses as soon as possible, I'll be useful. Yang Er said to Pei Yun.

"This king plans to leave for Beijing tomorrow to meet his father, and many matters need to be notified to his father's consent, and we can only show our skills if we have an edict, otherwise, even if this king decides, it will be suspected of exceeding the system, and it will be unfavorable to this king." Yang Er paused, the action here was too big, and in order to prevent the princelings from making noise and gossip, he had to go back. Yang Er thought for a while and said:

"Chengdu and I will return to Beijing tomorrow, and your 5,000 men and horses will be handed over to General Li Jing under the command. General Li Jing divided the 5,000 men and horses into patrols along the lake and set up checkpoints at intersections, and arranged training for the surplus soldiers. General Laihu'er will walk with this king tomorrow. General Zhai asked you to change the people of your headquarters to General Liang Shitai, and your personal soldiers and horses are enough to take care of the people. General Liang Shitai's 1,000 soldiers from Luzhou Prefecture were handed over to Pei Zhushu for management, and you will still be the king's general tomorrow. When this king is not there, Pei Junshi will preside over the overall situation, can you hear it clearly? The Chinese Wu all nodded yes, and each made preparations.

"Strategist, master bookkeeper, please stay, I have a word." Yang Er stopped Uncle Pei and nephew who was about to leave the tent.

"Pei Gong, you are a big local household, do you know where coal is produced?" Yang Er didn't know if there was such a thing in this era, so he just asked tentatively.

"Coal? What is coal? Er Pei glanced at each other, puzzled.

! It seems that there is no such thing as coal in the Sui Dynasty, at least no one knows, Yang Er thought to himself. But he was not reconciled, and then said: "Well, it is a black stone dug out of the ground, which can be burned and can be used as a substitute for wood. Yang Er explained while analogy, trying to be as popular as possible.

"But what about the black stone?" Pei Yun suddenly reacted, he thought it should be this thing. Pei Shiju on the side also nodded at this time, he also thought that it was this stone.

"Yes, it's Blackstone." Yang Er estimated that nine times out of ten, coal was called black stone in the Sui Dynasty.

"Oh, I have seen the black stone, but the origin is far away from here, Jinyang to the north and the Turkic border Lou Fu, Ma Yi two counties have this kind of black stone, the locals do not use, but the Turkic merchants in the middle of winter when they go south, there is this kind of black stone in their bags, one for the wild road to sleep in the open for warmth, but also used this stone in exchange for Han salt iron, but because of its burning black smoke, inhalation into the body makes people faint, and not easy to ignite, not as flammable as wood. Therefore, the Han people do not like this thing. Since then, there has been less trafficking from the north. Pei Yun said slowly. Yang Er couldn't help but nod his head and secretly praised, the wise man who still doesn't read the dead book has a wide range of knowledge, and basically finished saying the views of people in this era on coal. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, it is a pity to abandon such resources, just like the beggar with the golden bowl. But now it's different, I'm here, and I can't use the good stuff under my feet. Since ancient times, Shanxi has been a big coal mine! Many of them are still shallow open-pit coal mines. There are also many iron mines in Shanxi。。。。。 Yang Er felt that he had a feeling of picking up a treasure and making a fortune, and with the blessing of this feeling, it was called "cool and crooked"!
