This time, the emperor sent Sun Chengzong to come, which was already enough to give Yang Fan face. Considering that Sun Chengzong was old, he could only rush to Liaodi by carriage. The road was bumpy, and the few riders on the side were fine, but the old butler who drove the carriage complained all the way.

"Master, what does the Holy Lord mean this time? You are a military secretary, why did you send it as a herald...... What's the matter? "The old housekeeper has served Sun Chengzong since he was a child, so naturally he has something to say.

Sun Chengzong in the carriage took a sip of tea and said, "Old Han, guess what, what can make the saints excited?" ”

The old butler shook his head and said, "Master, I'm stupid. How can you guess this. Sun Chengzong snorted, but his heart was actually open. This successive years of natural disasters, grain harvest, Xu Guangqi mentioned a crop called potatoes a while ago, it is estimated that eighty percent has something to do with this kid. I don't know if that potato really has a yield of 4,000 catties per mu as Xu Guangqi said. If there is, it is really a treasure related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the war in eastern Liaodong has subsided slightly, the drought in the northwest has continued year after year, and the number of mobs has become more and more, showing an uncontrollable trend, and even Zhu Youzhen has a headache every day and can't sleep. It was pacified a few times, but within a few days, there was another riot.

As for the other one, Sun Chengzong couldn't guess. In the mind, is it possible...... Divine eye? He had tested the head of the reckless Gurtai, and he was not wrong. But the wound on the forehead was a terrible, deep wound, as if it had been penetrated by something. He had his wounds examined, and he was astonished by the results. The wound is smooth and pierces the skull, unlike other sharp weapons, as if it has been ...... A...... I can't even say it, I can only make an analogy, something so strong that the power of thunder and lightning breaks through.

said that Sun Chengzong's eyelids jumped, but he had a heart, this Yang Fan according to Zu Dashou, the master of the mountains and wilderness, it is very likely to be similar to the Taoism of Maoshan number. Of course, it's just speculation. During the Jiajing period, after the first emperor was obsessed with alchemy and caused great disasters, the court has always been secretive about alchemy and Taoism, and did not dare to mention it again.

"Sir, it's here."

Sun Chengzong lifted the curtain and found that Yang Fan and others were waiting at the bottom of the mountain. Passing through Linghe City, there were already scouts to pass the news, Yang Fan was engaged in the granary, the silo building, as soon as he heard that Sun Chengzong had arrived in Linghe City, he hurriedly called a few ancestors to go down the mountain to greet him.

Sun Chengzong came this time, dressed in civilian clothes, not like he was coming to arrest people.

"Remember?" Yang Fan looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile, greeted him, and gritted his teeth to remind Zu Runze.

Zu Runze, who was surprised that Sun Chengzong came alone, was suddenly startled and said, "Ah? What the? ”

"How much grain and grass? Yes! ”

"Five...... Forty thousand stones, forty thousand stones! Zu Runze hurriedly stepped forward, made a junior salute, and said, "Sun Shangshu." ”

"Okay, this is not official business, so you don't need to give the old man an official tone." Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and walked in front of Yang Fan.

"Alas, alas, Uncle Sun, let me introduce you, this is Yang Tou'er. Bah...... Yang Fan, Yang Fan. Zu Runze slapped himself in the mouth.

"Yang Tou'er? Does Yang Xiaoyou want to be a mountain king in this thirteen peaks? Sun Chengzong quipped. Yang Fan led the way in front and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Old Sun said it was funny." Thanks to the brothers, I will take care of affairs here. ”

"Hmph, I don't say that I am not the king of the mountain. Calling brothers and sisters, isn't it pulling the mountain or what? Sun Chengzong sneered.

"Look at what Elder Sun said, but Yang Fan has been lifted. There is no official and half-position below, just a civilian, and it is not appropriate to be called an adult. can only be commensurate with these brothers of the common people who were born and died. Yang Fan explained.

Sun Chengzong nodded and stopped. Seeing a few blast furnaces under Pingding Mountain, he asked: "Yesterday, the old man saw the bright and swaying high wall in Linghe City, and later asked the soldiers guarding the city to know that it was your kid who made a name for himself." Cement, this is where cement is burned? ”

"Yes."

Sun Chengzong carried his hands behind his back, and made it look like a leader inspecting. Unconsciously reminded Yang Fan of the history museum where he worked before, and if he came to a small leader casually, he would have to be very busy. "Yes, when we have work another day, then the Great Wall should also be repaired. I heard Zu Dashou say that with this cement, it can not be repaired for 30 years. Very good, very good! ”

Yang Fan's face darkened, and his feelings were robbed......

"What? Looks like you don't want to? Sun Chengzong saw Yang Fan's unnatural face and sneered.

Yang Fan took Sun Chengzong and continued to walk forward, and Zu Runze behind him followed in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, why don't you want to." Uncle Sun really cares about Da Ming and thinks about everything for Da Ming. ”

"Runze, I'll talk to Yang Xiaoyou, don't come to make trouble." Zu Runze saw that the horse was patted on the horse's hooves, smiled, and stopped talking.

"If the Great Wall built with this cement can really block the iron horses of Mongolia and Jurchen, why not carry this cement to Shanhaiguan in person. I was afraid that the iron cavalry of the foreign enemy did not stop me, and blindfolded myself. Yang Fan extended Sun Chengzong to an original pavilion.

Sun Chengzong felt that Yang Fan had something to say, so he smiled and said, "What do you mean by this?" By the way, the old man asked you, did you really release the 4,000 gold soldiers? ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "It's time to change grain and grass." ”

Zu Runze, who poured tea on the side, smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I changed the grain and grass, and it was 40,000 stones." ”

Syllable!

Sun Chengzong slapped his palm on the stone table, glared at Zu Runze, and shouted, "You don't interrupt." Yang Fan, let me ask you, do you know what you're doing? 4,000 gold soldiers, you let the tiger return to the mountain like this. ”

Yang Fan picked up the bowl, took a sip of water, and said, "I only know that if there is no more grain and grass, these seven thousand brothers on the mountain will starve to death." There will be no food this winter. ”

"Confused! If there is no food, the imperial court will naturally collect it. You released 4,000 gold soldiers like this, so that they could have a chance to breathe, and then come to kill our soldiers and people, so that they can do everything they can! ”

Yang Fan sneered and said, "In your eyes, our people of the Ming Dynasty are so worthless? I don't care how much impact these 4,000 prisoners will have if they are released, if they have food and grass, they will not starve to death. As for the rest, I don't care. ”

"Humph! You don't care? Do you know that you want to release prisoners privately like this, but you have to kill your head! Now those officials in the capital can't wait to eat you! I've got ready early, and I'm waiting for you to go back to Beijing! ”

Yang Fan took the kettle in Zu Runze's hand and poured water for Sun Chengzong, "So Sun Lao is here to catch him in the next return to Beijing?" ”

"They don't move the old man, it's a saint. The Holy One wants you to return to Beijing immediately, anyway, you can't escape this catastrophe. Sun Chengze turned his gaze to the mountain in front of the pavilion, "I haven't climbed it for a long time." Yang Fan, are you interested in climbing? ”

"Sun Lao wants to climb the mountain, and he will naturally accompany him below." Yang Fan said with a smile.
