Dinner was actually eaten at the Hot Spring Valley Officers' Club, although the kitchen mainly served the dining room, but in later generations there was a special cadre ward, and the small hall left for the general's family was naturally there, I really admired Mao Wenlong, I don't know what he persuaded him, at noon Shen Guangzuo was simply angry, and at night, he was actually dressed in casual clothes for soaking in hot springs, and sat down to eat dinner with peace of mind.

Father and son have no overnight feud, but it hasn't been overnight yet, when Mao Jue came, the old guy glared at him viciously.

It's just that Mao Jue's stomach is short of food tonight, he is still too young, and high-yield crops have given him too much confidence, so that he forgets his roots, after all, Dongjiang is not a rich place, and the development is too fast but he has fallen into it.

Indeed, if you stop corn winemaking, with the grain storage Mao Jue is enough to last until next summer's harvest, but Mao Jue is a little afraid to stop, now the economic chain of Tieyi Town has been rolled out, there is no wine, there is no distiller's lees, what do the livestock of Jishan Pig Farm eat? What do the horses of the caravanserai eat? These hard-to-accumulate side hustles have to encounter a cold winter first, and there are fewer eggs, chicken, pork and milk, in fact, as a high-quality high-protein food, there is no more, and cornmeal is eaten for the army every day? Mao Jue didn't dare to think about it.

Moreover, between the Dongjiang River and Houjin, the corn wine also staged a barometer relationship, Mao Jue once reduced the output of the corn wine, and it was not obvious to send a signal, my family has nothing to eat, come! Hit me!

But it doesn't stop, what if there is a spring barren next year?

"What's wrong? Your uncle is here, you have a cold face all night, what's wrong? ”

Leng Buding came back to his senses, looking at Mao Wenlong's eyes that seemed annoyed, but were actually full of concern, Mao Jue's heart warmed.

Mao Wenlong was killed by the sea of corpses and blood, he is not like Emperor Yang of Sui, unlike Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and now is not the prosperous era of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but he still hides in the Hot Spring Valley Officers' Club for more than half a year to enjoy himself, in the final analysis, he is handing over power to himself!

Dongjiang Town, which he built with his own hands, handed over to his son little by little.

But because of this, Mao Jue was extremely reluctant to throw the problem to Mao Wenlong, and forced a smile, Mao Jue waved his hand.

"It's nothing, I trained those little cubs for more than half an afternoon in the afternoon, and I'm just a little tired, uncle, you eat vegetables!"

"Enough is enough!"

There was already a small mountain in the bowl, Shen Guangzuo couldn't help but roll his eyes, but it made Mao Jue's chopsticks holding the fish and meat freeze there awkwardly, and now he paid attention, I don't know when, Chen Jiaoer sat between Mao Wenlong and Shen Guangzuo, while pulling in a small mouth, and on the other hand, he didn't have time to give Mao Wenlong and Shen Guangzuo vegetables.

She actually got involved?

You must know that at the Mao family's ceremonial dinner, Su Yi and Adriana are rarely served, and Mrs. Shen simply did not serve Mrs. Zhang, although she is qualified, she has an indifferent personality, and she eats the Buddha in the White Horse Temple outside the city.

This woman still has some skills.

Put aside the troubles first, now that the two old ones are coaxed, Mao Jue didn't make a face to Chen Jiao'er, but tried to say something about the wind and snow, and this meal was a happy meal.

…………

After all, the spring famine is next year's thing, and there are still many months to go until next year! And although there is a shortage of food, Mao Jue is not short of money, and now there are as many as three or four million taels of inventory in the silver treasury of Baima Mountain City, which is almost comparable to the real silver received by the Ming Empire in a year, and it is said that money can make ghosts grind! He Mao Jue didn't believe that if he spent a lot of money, he couldn't get food.

However, the source of income and the reduction of expenditure still have to be opened and reduced, after all, Mao Jue's silver is not blown by the wind, and the next day the momentum was fierce early in the morning to the White Horse Mountain City Deputy General's Mansion, and a series of general orders were smashed out by Mao Jue.

Dongjiang Town ushered in the first civil official, Mao Jue has no right to accept the prefect of the county order, but the rules are dead, people are alive, Fan Wenju was appointed by Mao Jue to become the counselor of the Iron Righteous Army, and was sent to the north to specialize in Tuntian, to be honest, Su Changmei is used to managing military quarters, and he is not good at the location reclamation of Tuntian and the local punishment, otherwise the population of more than 200,000 people can at least bite off half of Hamgyong Road.

Although Tieyi is all in the army, now the military and civilian are completely separated, and it can be regarded as laying the foundation for the smooth flow of political affairs in the future.

Of course, Fan Wenju is not a bare-bones commander, there are still some talented people in Dongjiang, plus there are also some literati in the rebels, the Shen family, the Chen family can also produce a few scholars, and a team of iron and righteous housekeepers will be formed in the morning.

And for Fan Wenju, Mao Jue is quite relieved, he has rebelled, and he has been loyal to Wang Hua'an, the leader of the anti-thieves, so he will inevitably lose the nonsense of other literati to the court, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and more importantly, there is no kind of foolish loyalty to the court.

As soon as the establishment of this Tieyi general management team, he suddenly fell under the weight of Mao Jue's series of instructions, first of all, to increase the purchase of grain stocks from the Li Dynasty economically, and most directly to supplement the shortage of grain stocks.

The second item was given to Yin Shu, asking for silver for silver, manpower for manpower, and then for Lao Tzu to build a ship.

You must know that in addition to the land territory, Mao Jue also has an uncultivated field, the sea!

In these years, the competition in ocean fishing in the West is quite fierce, but in the East, Mao Jue is still the first person to eat crabs, whether it is the Banwu boat of the Li Dynasty or the kind of closed boat of the Japanese people, there is no ability to fish in the ocean, the world's four major fishing grounds, the Hokkaido baths in small Japan, and the four traditional Chinese fishing grounds in the Yellow and Bohai Seas are almost exclusive to him, and there are really as many boats as you can catch as many fish, and the high-quality protein of the fish can save a lot of food.

Think about the future generations, the young man is almost full of four or two meals a meal, after all, there are a lot of dishes, but now, a normal man has to eat at least one pound of grain at a meal, the Dongjiang River is better, and it is not too unusual to eat two or three pounds a meal in the mainland, and the rest of the non-staple food oil and water in this era is too little.

After the open source, it is to throttle, each warehouse strictly checks the bottom of the warehouse, and eliminates waste, and here Mao Jue is a rare black-hearted businessman, some moldy corn that has begun to deteriorate, take a brush and brush it, and then take it to brew.

Anyway, the Mongolian tribes of this era are not the brothers of the Mongolian compatriots in later generations, but the enemy, and it is not too much to pit them with fake wine in difficult times, right?

As if a certain leader had instructed him to do so, in the next two days, the rhythm of the entire Dongjiang River changed again.

Now Tieyi is suddenly rich, starch factories, iron mines, gun workshops, these industrial centers have a lot of population, not to mention, and they have formed a large army of 5,000 shipwrights, going to Xiongjin Shipyard to fill Yin Shu's labor force, not to mention, as long as they were born on the shore of Liaodong Shandong, they are all divided into the ranks of sailors, even women are allowed to go to sea, so there are funny scenes in Tieshan Port one after another.

At this end, the women wore water pants, collected sea rainbow mussels that were not very rare to eat on the coastal reef, and took them to the shore to dry scallops, and on the other side, the boats were like drunk, constantly playing drunk fists, and they saw the sailors on both sides rowing ten meters of fishing boats and seeing that they were about to collide together, they shouted to each other in panic.

"Quick! Quick, you go to the left, I'll avoid it to the right! Hurry up!"

"Okay, that's it!"

Seeing that the two sides reached an agreement, the bow of the ship was also deviated, but there was a click, and there was still a close contact, and the rookie sailor on the ship fell into the sea like a dumpling.

The IQ is impressive!

This head made a lot of trouble, that head, the market in the mainland suddenly became a lot more frequent, this time the master came back, suddenly ordered to reduce the price of seafood by nearly half, dried scallops salted fish and sea eggplant are cheaper than before, originally the family as a soldier and the child to get paid back, only willing to eat a meal of fish, now every other three or five to eat is also not distressed, every household is set off a wave of fish fever, even if the new village on the border of Hamgyong Province, you don't hang two salted fish on the wall, are embarrassed to see people.

Another project strategy is much more obscene, there is also a small winemaking workshop in Baima Mountain City, every day I see the female employees of the winery hiding in the house with a basket of long-haired corn, stealing the man-like snort, the corn kernels that have taken a thorough bath go directly to the steamer, and the wine brewed is placed in a light-colored jar, and it is sold to the Houjin people in the border market as soon as it changes hands, and when I come back from the seaside, looking at those "honest" Jurchen merchants, the bearded Mongolians happily raise their heads and pour white soup after buying wine, and the corners of Mao Jue's mouth twitch again.

In mid-August, it can be regarded as almost busy with the Tieyi military and government, and on this day, Mao Jue finally took some time.

However, his goal was to go straight to the Uiju prison.

Tie Yi is an outlier in the entire Ming Dynasty, even if it is the same in the prison, the two-story small building built by cement is obviously several times more comfortable than the dark and damp Dengzhou Prison, and the windows are bright inside, with beds and tables, but unfortunately, this has become Mao Jue's most famous face project.

Tieyi justice is not sound at all, and there is only one punishment here, that is, mining, petty theft and mining for a year, being a traitor for more than ten years, murderers for a lifetime, prisoners are all in the mine, where are people locked up, and now in the current position, the only few prisoners who have been imprisoned in Yizhou Prison are a few in front of Mao Jue.

"Master General, this is it!"

It really doesn't look like a prison, under the guidance of Mao Yan, the cell door of the room on the second floor is wide open, and a clothesline is still hanging from the iron railing on the second floor to the other side, and several women have dried the newly washed bedding and sheets, and the air is full of the smell of soap.

"General Mao!"

Seeing Mao Jue coming, it frightened these working women and hurriedly saluted in panic.

On the same side, Mao Jue didn't put on any official stands, whoever greeted him, he greeted whomever he greeted, and at the door of the prison, Mao Jue also respectfully hugged his fist inside, courtesy.

"I've seen Mr. Sun!"

In these years, the men of Daming are definitely blessed, the four big men don't do anything about the good days, they get together shaking their heads and babbling, the only thing that is a little different from Yuan Chonghuan is that they don't read any Four Books and Five Classics, they actually read the Catholic Bible in Portuguese.

Seeing Mao Jue's arrival, Sun Yuanhua finally stopped the mass, but his face was full of annoyance, and he stood up angrily.

"General Mao finally has the kung fu to come to see me, the general of the defeated army! The general is so bold that he plundered my dignified governor of Denglai Road to the Dongjiang River, so you are not afraid of the court blaming and asking? ”

It's no wonder that the old man has a belly of fire, obviously he has a lot of firearms, and he has the most elite firearms troops in the Ming Dynasty in addition to the Dongjiang River, but the rebels and the Liao army are of the same origin, and they can't make it out if they have the strength, Dengzhou City is defeated in vain, and it is just a prisoner under the order, and finally the official army recovered Dengzhou, and was locked up by Mao Jue, and secretly transported to Yizhou, here, he has been squatting for more than three months.

If it weren't for the fact that Catholics were not allowed to commit suicide, the old guy would have been so angry that he wanted to wipe his neck.

However, listening to Sun Yuanhua's angry sarcasm, Mao Jue looked helpless and spread his hands.

"Mr. Sun, I'm afraid that the imperial court will not only not ask for guilt, but if you always show up in Daming, you will have to lose your head immediately!"

"Fart, impossible! My grandson has been loyal to the court and His Majesty for so many years, how could he be provoked by a villain like you!"

Hey, this old man really takes himself too seriously, full of helplessness, Mao Jue fumbled up from the package behind him, put an official document on the table, looked over a few times, Sun Yuanhua suddenly slumped back into the chair like a deflated ball, and slapped the table sadly in the strange eyes of his three stupid sons, Sun and Dousun and Jing brothers.

"Traitors are in charge!"

Historically, he Sun Yuanhua was one of the most unjust ministers who died under Chongzhen, the battle of Dengzhou, Sun Yuanhua was indeed at fault, this old guy didn't know people, Kong Youde rebelled, sent Kong Youde's old friend Zhang Tao to fight, and lost thousands of troops in vain, but to say that he was the mastermind of the rebellion, it was absolutely wronged.

To what extent did Chongzhen distrust the minister, he was stunned to believe the rumors of the imperial history, and regarded him, a feudal official and firearms expert who had been an official of the imperial court for decades, as a traitor behind the Wuqiao Mutiny, beheaded Yu Caishikou, and sent an elite army to Houjin while ruining his hope of forming a new Western-style firearms unit.

But don't say it, Sun Yuanhua, the old man, is really rare in the Ming Dynasty, a few scholars with a big mind and an open eye to see the world, and his courage is much stronger than Yuan Manzi, at least he didn't look for death and life, and threw away the official document that the court convicted him of the first crime, and the old guy snorted angrily at Mao Jue.

"It's the old man who blames Mao Tieyi for you!"

"But Mao Tieyi, what are you trying to do with this old man who wants to hide in the Dongjiang River? The old man can warn you, even if the old man believes in foreign religion, he also knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, if you want the old man to help you do anything rebellion and rebellion, plot against you, even if the old man starves to death, he will not agree!"

These scholars always think of themselves as if they are saints, others are conspirators and villains, his virtue, Mao is shaking his head, waving his hand and saying.

"Don't worry, Mao doesn't have anything to ask you Mr. Sun, Mao will find a place for Mr. Sun, you can live here with peace of mind, in case the court shows you snow that day, you will go back again, will it be successful?"

"You really don't need the old man to do anything for you?"

"Oh my God! Mr. Sun, what's your use? What can Mao ask you to do for me? ”

Seeing that Mao Jue was sincere, he regarded himself as a waste, shaking his head for fear of getting wet, and the old man Sun Yuanhua was so angry that he almost didn't foam.

…………

Finally, after squatting in Yizhou Prison for more than three months, Sun Yuanhua was also released from prison after completing his sentence, and followed Mao Jue's carriage and walked towards Baima Mountain City.

To tell the truth, Mao Jue saved Sun Yuanhua, but he really didn't want to do anything, purely because he felt sorry for this old man in history, as for Sun Yuanhua's experience in forming a firearms unit, is he a modern person of his own? His aiming skills are not as good as his own artillery battery, the old guy's political talent, Mao Jue has Shen Guangzuo and a Fan Wenju to help him, but he doesn't need it, and more importantly, whether it is Old Man Shen or Fan Wenju, they are much more loyal than him, the hypocritical Denglai Dao.

As for where to place Sun Yuanhua, Mao Jue had already considered this, and when he arrived at Baima Mountain City, he went straight to the first place under the command of Mountain City.

There's a big guy there! Yuan Chonghuan! It just so happens that the two of them are difficult brothers, and they are together and they are still a good match.

Even Mao Jue also planned, when Lu Xiangsheng fell in trouble in the future, he also saved it and sent it here, Hong Chengchou defeated the Songjin War, and also saved it, and it was also closed here, as well as Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, and so on for more than ten years, these old guys all kicked their legs and returned to the west, and they can still circle this place as a scenic spot, this is Sun Yuanhua's former residence, there is Hong Chengchou's former residence, and this is still the place where Inspector Yuan personally!

Thinking of those Yuan fans in later generations who lined up to squat in the pit where Yuan Chonghuan pulled, and came to test the feelings and feelings of idols when they pooped, Mao Jue fully exploded with bad taste, and laughed out loud evilly.

Listening to the obscene laughter that came from time to time, Sun Hedou and the brothers Sun and Jing were frightened, and hugged their wives and daughters, for fear that Mao Jue would have a crazy hair, and gave them a cheap green hat on the spot.

The first guard under the rule of the White Horse Mountain City is located on the mountain east of the mountain city, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, Mao Jue got out of the car, the road in the village is too narrow, it is better to walk in the carriage, and he will be locked up here as a collection in the future, even Sun Yuanhua is a little stupid to look at the large dense tobacco leaves in front of him exuding a fragrance.

But at this moment, in front of the eye leaf field, a child ran out, didn't run two steps, and was immediately grabbed by an adult who followed behind, and directly pulled out his pants, and the slap was pulled over according to the child's buttocks, and the snapping sound stopped, Mao Jue, who had a shadow in his heart, subconsciously grinned, reached out and rubbed his ass twice, and then greeted him with big teeth.

"Hit the child on a rainy day...... it's not raining yet! Why are you beating so loudly, it's too much! Just hit it twice!"

"General!"

I didn't expect that the person who beat the baby still knew himself, and when he went up, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Mark the fourth Shao formation commander of the second regiment, Wang Dafa, to meet the general!"

"General, you don't know anything! This rabbit cub is full of nonsense, disloyal and unjust! I can't wait to kill him!"
