Chapter Thirty-Six: The Guards

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded, "That's right, but this matter can be arranged by Wen Qing, so you don't need to ask me ......."

Wen Xiangheng said: "There are some general points that I still have to ask His Highness's meaning, Your Highness, now that the mining is already in a thriving state, it will inevitably not attract people to covet it......"

[Coveted? 】

Lin Yuyan pondered the meaning of this sentence, and then asked Wen Xiangheng in a questioning tone: "Wen Qing refers to the bandits?" ”

Wen Xiangheng nodded and said: "Exactly, there are many bandits in Yangdi, I have to pay attention to the point, in the past, the Yangdi was poor, and bandits could often be seen looting, not to mention that after the Yellow Land Canal was dug through, the mining area became a rich land, and these bandits were not moved!" ”

"Your Highness, Wen means that there are now more than 300 households in the caiyi, nearly 2,000 people, of which there are five or six hundred young people, so you might as well form a guard team?"

"The Guards? This seems a bit out of the ordinary......" Lin Yuyan also said.

Wen Xiangheng knew what Lin Yuyan's words meant by being out of line, but he felt that the Weiyi team seemed to be a military force similar to that of the army, which touched the restrictions of the Wu State on private subordination.

However, Wen Xiangheng did not see any fear on His Royal Highness's face.

If so, Wen Xiangheng said with confidence: "The Weiyi team is not what His Highness understands, these people's usual work is only to plough the fields and produce, and practice the phalanx in their spare time, in order to be able to effectively organize and resist when the bandits come to loot, and there is no other action, now I have found a suitable candidate, named Tu Zhong, who is an old pawn who retired from the Fangcheng army in the old days, and has a good ability that can be reused, but if His Highness is not at ease, you might as well send some Zongwei over, so that you can do it." , the security in the mining is also more secure. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan shook his head and said, "No need, it is inconvenient for Zong Wei to leave his side, since Wen Qing already has a suitable candidate, he might as well use it." ”

Wen Xiangheng nodded, but then he changed his words and asked Lin Yuyan: "When is Your Highness going to return to Wancheng, it seems that the southern border is a little unpeaceful, and Yangdi has successively received some residents who have relocated from the southern border, and there are rumors that Deng Guo seems to be in danger in the turmoil of the Red Turban Army......"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan looked at Wen Xiangheng, Lin Yuyan knew about this matter in Wancheng, but what Lin Yuyan didn't expect was that although Deng Guo's national strength was slightly inferior to Wuguo, it was also a country with a population of three or four hundred thousand, how could it be in danger under the offensive of Jing's Red Turban Army? No matter how bad it is, you can resist it for a few years!

Now that Wen Xiangheng has already said this, it must be eight or nine to ten.

This couldn't help but make Lin Yuyan feel a little irritable, after all, today's Wu Kingdom seems to be unable to fight a big war, and the Jin Han clan in the north is eyeing it, although it has the containment of the Jin Wei clan, but if the Jin Han clan annexes the Wu country with lightning speed, what else can the Jin Wei clan do?

Ordered the Jin Han clan to spit out the land of Wuguo?

This is impossible, and the final possible outcome is that the Jin Han clan will divide all the territory of the Wu Kingdom in order to make up for the Jin Wei clan.

Lin Yuyan shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter for the time being, after all, there is still a new field army stationed in the south of Wuguo, we are still defendable, and we don't contribute so quickly, so we don't need to flee back to Wancheng for refuge immediately, I plan to go back at the end of July." ”

Wen Xiangheng also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and only used his Royal Highness's words as an excuse to stay outside Wancheng. Deng Guo is bounded by the big river, and the strength of the whole country cannot stop the offensive of the Red Turban Army of Jing State, and he is afraid of the formation of a new field army of Wu State.

Wen Xiangheng still reminded: "Your Highness is better to go back as soon as possible, when the external troubles are serious, Wuguo has a precedent for the prince to participate in political affairs, at this time, His Royal Highness is not there, I am afraid that Your Majesty and the people will not be able to explain it......"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded.

Not long after, after Li He reclaimed a hundred zhang of land, he put down the Quyuan plow in his hand, handed it over to his eldest son Li Gen, who had been by his side, and went to Lin Yuyan's side by himself.

Before he got closer, he heard Li He's voice: "Haha, the villagers will definitely have a good harvest this year......"

Everyone also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, with these things created by Li Lao, it is difficult for us to not want a good harvest......

Li He waved his hand modestly: "This is not my credit, it is the credit of His Royal Highness the prince of Caiyi, folks, work hard during this time, there will be a good harvest at the end of the year, and every household will be able to eat rice grain at the beginning of spring next year!" ”

"What Li Lao said is, isn't this digging a yellow ditch? The old guys can't do the work of digging and moving the soil, but there are still the people who have been relocated because of the Yellow Ditch, and it is not a problem for us old guys to help them build a house brick by brick! ”

"Tomorrow, I will also let my little brother go with his eldest brother to dig the Yellow Ditch, and strive to complete it as soon as possible!"

When Li He heard this, he also touched his beard with his hand stained with a little dirt and said, "Folks, let's talk here first, and I'll go to His Highness to report the good news......

After speaking, Li He continued to walk towards Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan also saw Li He approaching him with a smile on his face, and also quipped: "Li Jiang looks like this, but he doesn't have the slightest worry......

When Li He heard this, he said with a little puzzlement: "Worried? What did Your Highness say? Being able to see these objects so functional, how could Li He feel worried? It's too late to rejoice! ”

Lin Yuyan smiled: "Haha...... I didn't expect Li Jiang to be such a frank-minded person, I thought that Li Jiang would worry that the agricultural tools such as pestles and pestles he built would be useless because of these few objects......"

Hearing this, Li He replied with a smile: "Your Highness's words are wrong, Li He has been doing those things for decades, although he is handy, but he is also bored, you might as well tell the truth with Your Highness, in recent years, the construction of those farm tools has been completed by my sons, and now with the things that His Highness has taken out, those things are not done, during this time, I plan to make every effort to build a few sets of curved plows, keel waterwheels and plough rakes, and first get out the newly cultivated land in the mining area, At that time, it will be much more useful than building boring rakes. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan and Wen Xiangheng both looked at each other and smiled.
