"After Li Chuang won Li Yan and Niu Jinxing, his behavior became really weird, Li Yan's thoughts can still be speculated, but Niu Jinxing's actions are extremely careless, and it is really difficult to guess." Yu Guozhen said again.

At this time, in addition to him, Gao Erzhu, and Wang Qinian, there were also Ji Yan and other middle-level generals of the Tiger Guard in the tent, and they all came to visit whether Yu Guozhen's side was safe. Hearing Yu Guozhen's words, Ji Yan smiled: "The official said too subtlely, just say that Niu Jinxing is a little nervous." ”

Li Yan is a character, it is a pity that he did not stay in Xinxiang at the beginning, he attaches more importance to the people, knows that those who harm the people will be abandoned by the people, and the matter of digging the north embankment of the Yellow River must not be his idea, and he may even try to stop it. However, Li Zicheng is a hero in the rogue after all, even if he uses Li Yan, he can't change his essence, and he will do whatever it takes for the sake of the end. Niu Jinxing is indeed a little nervous villain, thinking about things is always considered from some corners and corners, we can't learn his skills. We don't need to learn his skills, we have enough strength to crush the past in a dignified manner. ”

Yu Guozhen's evaluation made everyone laugh.

Outside his tent, in the shadows with the light on his back, a man smiled slightly.

The man in the shadows thought of Niu Venus's cunning, greedy, and crazy eyes. Although Yu Guozhen has never seen Niu Jinxing, his evaluation of him could not be more accurate.

"But we must always remember that our strength does not come out of thin air, but comes from the tiger guards, from craftsmen, teachers, doctors, farmers and traders, and we must not forget this no matter where we go in the future and what situation we face...... You remember my words. If one day, you forget my words, then we will not have the power. ”

The man in the shadows frowned. Thoughtfully.

"It's because we have the power. Whether it was Li Chuang or Jianyu, they didn't dare to compete with us head-on. We can only use some tricks that can't be put on the table, how can we be helped. Everyone is still focusing on relieving the people, and now Dayuan Island is ready. We strive to bring hundreds of thousands of people to the island within a year! ”

"Can the island feed so many people?" Someone asked.

"Our people's requirements are very low, there is enough to eat, the environment of Dayuan Island is very good, although the development is not enough now, but as long as we support it in the first year, there will be no problem in self-sufficiency next year. I have already asked Xinxiang to prepare food and seeds, and in terms of clothing, the temperature on Dayuan Island is warmer than here......"

The figure in the darkness heard the chatter inside. It's all about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the common people, and Yu Guozhen is worried about eating, drinking, and Lazar, which makes his originally murderous eyes hesitate.

"And it's October. I estimate a month at most. I am afraid that the Bohai Sea will be frozen, and the Yangjiaogou Port in Yangkou will not be able to be used at that time. So we have to prepare for the second way. Most people still have to spend this winter in Shandong. Last year, we harvested a total of 20,000 tons of cotton in Xinxiang, even if all of them were made into quilts, which may not be enough, so firewood for heating is also necessary. Perhaps we can consider making honeycomb coal for heating. ”

People in the dark don't understand what honeycomb coal is, but coal is no stranger. There are also coal mines in Shandong's east, especially in order to develop Tamna, Yu Guozhen took coal nearby, and openly and secretly controlled several large coal mines in Shandong's east. In the past, there was a shortage of labor and limited sales, so there was no large-scale mining, but now it is possible to organize manpower for mining.

In addition, it is also possible to develop discipline in this kind of work.

After talking about his own arrangements, Yu Guozhen discussed some details with the people in the account, especially the repeated reminders about the exhaust gas from the combustion of honeycomb coal will kill people. It wasn't until Dongfang Fish's belly turned white that everyone withdrew from his tent, and Yu Guozhen was ready to rest.

He had barely laid down when he heard the sound of the curtain lifting, and when he looked up, he saw a dark figure standing in front of the door.

"Huh?" Yu Guozhen was a little surprised, didn't Gao Erzhu say that he had caught them all, why are there still fish that have slipped through the net here?

His soft voice immediately woke up Wang Qinian, who was dozing on the side. Wang Qinian resolutely carried out Gao Erzhu's order, and in the past few days, he followed Yu Guozhen closely and did not leave an inch. Before Wang Qinian's eyes were fully opened, the person rushed forward, and the saber in his hand came out of its sheath with a bang, and a flash of lightning flashed in the tent.

The figure didn't expect that this thin-looking young man would have such a fast speed to avoid the danger, but Wang Qinian dragged the knife back, and the saber folded and slashed back.

Seeing that the saber was about to slash the man's neck, it was a "zheng" sound, and the dagger in the man's hand just held the saber. Wang Qinian dragged the knife again, and the man had to retreat, only to hear the sound of brushing, and the man's clothes were torn apart.

The black cloak is cut open, revealing the red garment inside. There was some horror in the man's eyes, under Yu Guozhen's tent, except for Qi Niu, who was known for his martial arts, the other tiger guards seemed to be best at muskets, but he never thought that this ten-year-old boy actually had a good skill!

"Stop."

Yu Guozhen shouted, Wang Qinian put away the knife and grinned at the man, but the tip of the knife was still pointing at the other party, obviously as long as Yu Guozhen gave another order, his knife would not hesitate to cut over.

"Who are you, you've been out there for a while, haven't you?" Yu Guozhen said: "Assassin? ”

"Nanhai Bo, what you just said to your subordinates, is it sincere or false?" The man spoke, and through the veil, his voice changed slightly, but Yu Guozhen still heard that it was a woman's voice.

"Who do I need to show the fake?" Yu Guozhen sneered: "It was the person who was arrested just now, there is no doubt that you should have been sent by Li Chuang, right?" I'm not Li Chuang, I broke the embankment of the Yellow River, my conscience is uneasy, and I want to pretend to deceive in front of the people, did he tell the people that he was late and failed to save the people from fire and water? ”

The words were sharp, but the female assassin was speechless.

In order to end the war as soon as possible, King Chuang had to make this decision, when the emperor overthrew the Zhu family, the world was peaceful, and King Chuang would inevitably give an explanation to the people in the disaster area. It's not like Nanhai Bo, who clearly has the power to make the world peaceful, but he is huddled in a corner of the cape, intoxicated with his own glory and wealth, and is willing to throw out the title of Nanhai Earl from the imperial court......"

"Stinky!" Hearing this woman's sharp counterattack, Wang Qinian was angry, and the other person was clumsy and stupid, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only scold.

"Crooked." Yu Guozhen sneered: "What do you know, what you said must have been taught to you by others, you don't understand it yourself, and now you parrot out, right?" ”

The woman snorted, "If it's crooked, dismiss me!" ”

"After Li broke into Beijing, even if he became the emperor, let me ask you, how will he deal with the eight million victims in the Yellow Flood Area this time? Where he started, how did he deal with the thousands of hungry people in the land of Ganshan? How is his talent compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, and how is his subordinates compared to Liu Ji, Xu Da, Song Lian and others? Zhu Yuanzhang peeled the skin and grass, but he could not put an end to corruption in the world, and he could not suppress the world with factory guards, and he could not calm the war in the world. ”

"Nature is the way to practice the teachings of saints......"

"I know, you must have been sent by Li Yan, and only he, who can't read the sage books halfway, will naively think that there is really any way of sage education that can cure the world's chronic diseases." Yu Guozhen sneered again: "The three people in the world suffer the most, one is the squire, the second is the officials, and the third is the imperial court tax. Does Li Yan know how to deal with these three? He himself will be a clean official, but what about others, like Niu Jinxing, if Li Zicheng wins the world, Niu Jinxing will have to get a prime minister, do you think that Niu Chengcheng will not be corrupt, will he not condone his subordinates to collect scrapes for him? Will the squires of the world willingly hand over the fields they have plundered to the people to cultivate? ”

This woman walked in all directions, not completely uninformed, and heard Yu Guozhen talk about the three most bitter diseases of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and only felt that each of them spoke to her heart. Some questions that were only vaguely felt wrong became clear in Yu Guozhen's rhetorical questions one by one.

"King Chuang is wise, and he will never let the likes of Niu Venus ...... ......"

"King Chuang is wise, Niu Jinxing offered a plan to dig the north embankment of the Yellow River, and King Chuang responded." Yu Guozhen didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and then said again.

"You...... If you say that, do you have a way? ”

"I naturally have a way." Yu Guo raised his chin: "Li Yan has been to Xinxiang, at least in Xinxiang, he can see if my method is effective." ”

The woman's heart trembled again, Li Yan had mentioned the matter of Xinxiang, but he mentioned it as a counterexample at that time. Whenever he talked about it, Li Yan would say, Xinxiang is better than other places, but it's a pity that Yu Guozhen has this talent, but he is a tiger player, but he works for the imperial court. Even if she takes Xinxiang as a counterexample, Li Yan can't say anything wrong with Xinxiang's governance - in the past, she only thought that this was Li Yan's heart and mind, and she praised people's strengths and deprecated people's faults, but now she wants to come...... Could it be that Yu Guozhen governed Xinxiang very well, so that Li Yan really couldn't find a fault?

"You've seen my guards, and now there are all the guards behind you, are you going to continue to risk stabbing me, or are you going to lay down your weapons and be captured?" Yu Guozhen said suddenly.

The woman looked back and was surprised to find that there were indeed dozens of tiger guards behind her, and with her ears, she didn't even find out when these tiger guards arrived. What makes her even more frightened is that these tiger guards are no longer cold weapons in their hands, one musket after another is aimed at her, she is no stranger to this kind of weapon, even if she is agile, it is impossible to get out of the fire of dozens of muskets!

Unless she can restrain Yu Guozhen, but the thin boy in front of Yu Guozhen has made it difficult for her to resist!

"You lied to me, what you just said was a delaying tactic!" Embarrassed and indignant, the woman snapped.

"Do I need to delay the army against you, didn't I shout to stop Qi Nian, you are now a dead man." Yu Guozhen pouted: "My reputation has always been acceptable, but I am not a treacherous rogue, you still have three times to choose now." Three, two, one......"
