Chapter Seventy-One: Yangzhou Enters the War

Among the pillars and cornices, the green tile roof, the pavilions and pavilions, and the antique palace, there is only one building that is different. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The round building made of plastered walls and bricks and stone resembles a huge white cake, embedded in the mansion of the Lord's Mansion.

The interior of the circular building is full of mist and temperature at the moment, and he is lying comfortably on a bench made of red sandalwood, slightly closing his eyes and recuperating.

The stone on the side soaked the jibeb in his hand from the hot tub next to him and wrung it out, and rubbed it vigorously on the back of the smeller.

"San Lang, it's almost, it's already clean." The stone is made of a gourd scoop, scoop a scoop of water from the pool, and rinse the back of the smeller.

Smelling it, he jumped into the hot tub with a pop, and instantly splashed the water mist all over the room.

Stimulated by the boiling hot water, he let out a comfortable moan, and then said leisurely: "Stone, you don't know, I haven't taken a bath for more than a month, and now I take a hot bath, it's really refreshing, let me soak for a while." ”

In ancient times, all kinds of epidemics were rampant, and the only preventive measure was to keep it hygienic and clean, and I was imprisoned for more than a month, and there was no chance to bathe. The first time he returned to the mansion, he ordered people to boil water and bathe, and did not give the people in the mansion a chance to contact him.

Dali Temple Prison is a place that does not see sunlight all year round, God knows what kind of epidemic will breed, and before the body is thoroughly cleaned, he does not dare to touch the people in the house.

This kind of bathing process has lasted for several rounds, looking at the whole body like boiled shrimp, showing a red color, the corner of the stone mouth twitched slightly: "San Lang, there are still many people waiting for you outside, this has been washed more than a dozen times, what kind of lice can't be alive." ”

"Let them wait, every day is like a ghost." Wen Wei snorted.

"San Lang, don't you have any intention of selling the bricks and stones produced in our brick kiln?" The stone asked as he sprinkled some herbs into the pool. These herbs are some Chinese herbal medicines, according to the doctor said that it can play the function of killing insects and preventing diseases, and it is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and has done all kinds of measures, if there is an accident again, it can only be providence.

Wen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we don't have enough ourselves, how can we sell to those mercenary businessmen." ”

"When we finish building the greenhouse, we must always find a market for the bricks and stones produced by the brick kiln, and we can't always stop selling them, right?" Stone wondered.

Wen shook his head and sighed: "Then you have to wait, after building the greenhouse, you will start to build a house for the students, and according to Zheng Zhutou's house as a model, build a house for each of the students." After the construction is completed, it will be built for the villagers to go door to door, in short, we will now have a brick kiln, and it is impossible to sell bricks and stones for the time being, so let those merchants rest their hearts. ”

Hearing Wen's grand plan, Shi Shi was surprised: "Ah, San Lang, that's going to build hundreds of mansions!" ”

"Yes, in the future, we will burn bricks to pave the road, our place is a plain, there is no mountain stone to pave the road, so we can only burn bricks to pave the road. With the speed of burning bricks in just one brick kiln, it is a difficult task to accomplish these goals!

Therefore, according to the original plan, only one greenhouse was allowed to be built in a villager's home, and it was not allowed to build more. Wen advised.

"What a waste of money to burn bricks and pave roads! If we build a few more greenhouses, we can make a lot more money. Shi Shi couldn't figure it out, now the vegetables supplied to Baihualou have been sold at sky-high prices, but the taxes and silver have been paid hundreds of times.

"Scarcity is expensive, now we are just cooperating with Baihualou, and we have not yet fully spread the vegetables, and when the villagers' vegetables also begin to harvest, the output will be more, and it will not be so valuable at that time." Wen explained.

"Originally, we could have made a lot of extra money, but the merchants paid taxes at 20 draws, so why should we pay according to the 10 draws of the field tax, isn't this bullying?" Stone said with a displeased expression. Thinking of paying more than 300 yuan of tax silver, Shi's heart was aching faintly, in order to disgust Zhu County's order, he gave not silver, and deliberately used the copper coins that were not easy to carry as tax silver, and 300 copper coins were hundreds of catties.

"Those vegetables are worth a dozen guan at most, but after we share it with Baihualou, we can net a few thousand guan. Since it has become a profiteering, it is also appropriate to pay more taxes and silver, Zhao Tingmei is not distressed, what are we distressed about, that table of vegetable banquet, isn't he the only one who ordered it?

It's all his money anyway, so we don't have to worry too much about it. Wen smiled lightly.

If you want to pick up a girl, you really have to spend a lot of money, especially Xie Lingyun, who is known as the first beauty in the world, this Zhao Tingmei is really an infatuated species. Xie Lingyun has a special identity, although Zhao Tingmei is a prince, he cannot rely on his rights to forcibly occupy it, and his own appearance and talent are extremely ordinary.

In desperation, he had to rely on money to smash it.

However, Xie Lingyun is obviously not the kind of worldly daughter, but I am afraid that in the end, Zhao Tingmei will be sad to lose money. Think about it, a table of vegetables and vegetables banquet actually costs 8,888 yuan, and Wen Du felt pain for Zhao Tingmei.

"San Lang, I heard that you are going to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion again, will there be any danger this time!" Shi followed Wen for the longest time, and knew that he was not the kind of person who cared about money, so he didn't say much and asked questions that he was more concerned about.

Wen sighed and said: "On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and no one can say for sure about this kind of thing." Especially this time, it is said that Li Chongjin also mastered the gunpowder formula, but that thing does not have long eyes, and it cannot distinguish between objects, and danger may come at any time.

Stone, if you hear the news of my accident, take Xiaohua and them back to Yanshen County to find Old Man Mei, he will always take care of you. ”

"San Lang ........." Hearing Wen Wen's tone, Shi's heart trembled slightly.

Wen interrupted the stone's words, and said with a slight smile: "This bathhouse is very good, build one for the village, and build one on the brick kiln." In fact, you don't have to be too nervous, in the past nearly a year, we have experienced strong winds and waves, and when we encounter such small difficulties and small dangers, we will not be able to move over.

Don't worry too much about your home. ”

As soon as Wen finished the instructions, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and a cold voice came in through the door curtain: "Wen, you come out for me." ”

As soon as he heard Tan Fengyi's voice, he smiled helplessly and said, "Fengyi, wait a minute, I'm almost done washing, and I'll come out immediately." ”

"An hour ago, you said the same thing, if you don't come out, I'll break in." Tan Fengyi said in a cold tone.

Tan Fengyi is angry for a reason, whose bath will be calculated by the hour, even if the woman takes a longer bath, it will already be considered a long time to spend half an hour. Although she already knows a lot about smelling too much about the problem of being clean, it is still a little unacceptable that it takes several hours to bathe at a time.

Under Tan Fengyi's threat, Wen finally walked out of the bathroom.

Seeing that there was no repentance on his face, Tan Fengyi said angrily: "Are you planning to drown inside?" ”

"Sir, you haven't eaten tofu yet?" Xiaohua was still holding a bowl of white jade tofu in her small hands, and she looked at Wen Xuan with tears in her eyes. Since she knew that Wen had entered the house, Xiaohua had been holding this bowl of tofu and waiting for Wen to come out of the bathroom, and it had been a long time.

"You really have the ability to take a bath once from noon to evening." The little nun Jingyuan sighed in admiration.

"You're a nun, you know the essence of bathing." Wen snorted softly.

"According to the laws of the army, those who do not return to the camp at night without orders will be decided. How do you always like to challenge my brother's bottom line. Tan Fengyi frowned.

Wen stepped forward and squatted down to take the tofu in Xiaohua's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and thought it was a protein supplement, and stroked Xiaohua's face with his hand and said, "Xiaohua, hurry up and go to sleep, Mr. still has something to do." ”

"Sir, you haven't been home for a long time." Xiaohua pouted dissatisfiedly.

Wen looked at Xiaohua's hopeful eyes, and sighed: "Mr. is born to work hard!" ”

"Let's go." Tan Fengyi urged.

"Fengyi, are you planning to go to Yangzhou with me?" Seeing that Tan Fengyi also packed a bag, she was puzzled.

"Of course." Tan Fengyi affirmed.

"Thanks to Fengyi's love, but this time I went to Yangzhou, along the way, my safety should be worry-free, and I don't need Fengyi to protect me. Feng Yi can still stay in the house to take care of one or two, and she can also avoid the pain of traveling and traveling. Wen thanked him.

Tan Fengyi snorted lightly: "I know that you asked my senior brother to set up a note, and your safety can be worry-free." But I didn't go to Yangzhou this time to protect you. ”

"Ahh It's not to protect me, what are you doing all the way to Yangzhou? Wen wondered.

"The first time you fought, you blew up the Yanshen City Wall, and three thousand bandits suffered heavy casualties as a result. The second time, you burned the city of Zezhou, leaving tens of millions of people homeless. This time I went to Yangzhou, who knows what you will do, I have to supervise you, it is a city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Tan Fengyi said solemnly. A fire in Zezhou caused more than 100,000 people to lose their homes, and Yangzhou is an important town in the south, where hundreds of thousands of people make a living in the city.

Wen Qi said: "You think I am a villain butcher?" ”

Tan Fengyi snorted lightly, acquiescing to the correctness of Wen's words.

"Tan Fengyi, you ........." Tan Fengyi's contemptuous attitude made the nerves of anger violent.

Fortunately, I don't know martial arts! Otherwise, this demon girl would have been given to the Fa a long time ago.

is obviously a demon girl of the White Lotus Sect, but she also gave birth to a bodhisattva heart of the world, and she thinks about how to stop herself from doing bad things every day, those real bad guys, why don't you see this demon girl to take care of it, this is obviously bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, seeing that you don't know martial arts.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, Mei Yiqi next to him hurriedly spoke: "Brother Shi, time is running out, you are ready to go." Although His Majesty allows you to go back to the fiefdom to arrange the affairs of the palace, he also orders that you must return to the camp tonight, and you will go to Yangzhou with the army early tomorrow morning.

Brother, along the way, please take care. ”

After Mei Yiqi squatted down to give a salute, she took a bag from the handmaid Zhu'er and handed it to Wendao: "Brother Shi, there are some commonly used medicinal materials in this package, as well as some silver taels and a change of clothes, which should be kept properly." ”

"Sir, are you going out again? Will it take a long time to come back? Hearing that she was about to leave again, the tears that Xiaohua had been holding in her eyes finally flowed down her little face.

"Xiaohua is good, don't cry, Mr. will go back when he goes." Wen squatted down and gently hugged Xiaohua, and gently wiped Xiaohua's tears with his hands.

Outside the Jue Mansion, more than 100 students have been fully equipped, and hundreds of torches have rendered the night into a halo. I don't know if it is at this moment, there are hundreds of pairs of eyes in Guanlou Village, silently staring at the fire-lit Jue Mansion.

"Let's go, the goal is Yangzhou." Wen rode on his horse and shouted.

"You're not going to the marching camp?" Tan Fengyi wondered.

"Following the army, the movement is slow, Your Majesty ordered me to rush to Yangzhou as soon as possible to join Pan Mei's troops to stabilize the situation, it seems that the battle situation in Yangzhou is in danger." (To be continued.) )
