Chapter 194: Plan Ahead

(First of all, I would like to bow and apologize to all the book friends.) Because the outline has been revised in the past few days, the writing is a little slower, and it will be updated normally on Monday, and the chapters that fall will be added and filled! )

Li Xin said about Chaoyang Fort, Huang Yu was curious, with her understanding of the geography of Datong Mansion, there is no place name called Chaoyang Fort in the entire Datong territory. After listening to Li Xin tell the ins and outs of Chaoyang Fort, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"It turns out that Chaoyang Fort is the burden that Xiong Kaiyuan threw to Sanwei, but I didn't expect Brother Li to be able to turn decay into magic, if Xiong Kaiyuan learned that the heavy burden had been turned into treasure, I am afraid that he would jump to his feet angrily."

Huang Yu then said worriedly: "There are more than 20,000 people out of thin air, people eat horses and chew every day, with the reserves of three guards, I am afraid that if we can't withstand the consumption in March, we will sit and eat empty, is it possible that Brother Li still has a clever trick?" ”

She said this, but there was a faint dissatisfaction with Li Xin's forcible seizure of various trading companies in Jinzhong, but the dissatisfaction was not that he robbed the Huang family's trading companies together, but because of this, he offended the various trading companies, and it would be even more difficult to ease relations with them in the future.

In Huang Yu's vision, if Li Xin wants to let go of his hands and feet in Jinzhong, he will not be able to bypass the important force of Jin Shang in any case, and it will be a matter of time before he reconciles with it. At present, although the urgent need is solved by killing chickens and taking eggs, it is not a long-term solution.

Li Xin dared to be the enemy of all the trading companies in Jinzhong alone with a general army, and I really don't know if he was bold or ignorant and despised his opponent. Although the national policy of the Ming Dynasty was to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and it was normal for scholars to look down on businessmen, but he, a martial artist who was not born on the right path, needed the help of big businessmen and tycoons very much. In the final analysis, the problem faced by Sanwei is how to open up the source, and only by opening up financial resources can we feed the suddenly expanding population. Only open source can we have enough capital to strengthen the strength of Sanwei.

Therefore, the support of various trading companies for Sanwei is particularly important, but through a series of measures taken by Sanwei in the past, Li Xin's attitude seems to have a certain kind of mustard towards Jin merchants, and he has a plan in his heart. Huang Yu saw that Li Xin was not compatible with this matter, so she turned the topic back to Chaoyang Castle.

She was very interested in Li Xin's election, so she asked a few more questions, but after all, she was seriously ill, her body and energy were not good, and her eyelids were heavy, but she fell asleep after a while.

Li Xin called a few times, and saw that she was not moving, her chest rose and fell regularly with her breathing, a touch of blush was already hanging on her pale face, and her long eyelashes were faintly flickering, and she slept very peacefully.

At this time, it was already dark, and the servants handed in the rice porridge and dry food from the outside, Li Xin saw that Huang Yu was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and couldn't bear to wake it up, so he put the food box on the table of the eight immortals in the house, and then withdrew after a while, went to the hall to spread out the paper and pen, wrote a letter crookedly, dried the dripping ink, put it in his arms, and came to the door to order someone to call Qian Tai. After a while, the gate opened, and Qian Tai appeared with a lantern.

Li Xinyi frowned, "Didn't you say that you should talk through the door according to the rules?" What if there is a plague and it infects you? ”

Qian Tai repeatedly confessed his crimes, and said: "Xia Guan firmly believes that the chief soldier should be safe and sound, and I am afraid that where will I ......come from" In fact, what I thought in my heart was that if you really have three long and two short, if you don't talk about this town in your own house, I am afraid that you will have to be avenged by others, in fact, he and Li Xin are already two grasshoppers on the same rope.

But he still sensed a trace of concern in Li Xin's reproach, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm, if he changed others, who would care about the life or death of these people under them?

"Don't gossip, I have made the plague troublesome for several days, and I almost delayed the major event of our three guards. This is the general's retribution, you immediately arrange for the spear battalion officer Cheng Mingjiu and Gu 14 to carry this recital and hundreds of heads below the Mongolian Tatar Tu County King into Beijing to report the victory! ”

Qian Tai's eyes lit up, if there is a success, there must be a reward, and the battle of the Zhenyu army in Yang and Wei has made great contributions, and I believe that he will also have a credit. He really guessed correctly, Li Xin asked for many awards for many people in this recital.

Now that he has learned of Liu Yuliang's comeback, and his descendant Xiong Kaiyuan has slandered him so much, presumably this family of people is afraid that they will put themselves to death. It's nothing more than Liu Yuliang who has done too much to steal credit for himself, and he feels that he has offended people to death, so he is trying to eradicate himself.

But thinking about it, Li Xin felt that Liu Yuliang didn't seem to be necessary to do this, and he didn't say that he wanted to settle accounts with him, so he always felt a little clueless to do so! But no matter what, if this goods is going to embarrass him Li Xin, he can't stand still, and send seven hundred heads below the diagram, this gift must be enough for Emperor Chongzhen to shock for a while.

Li Xin then said: "There is only one thing that is difficult to do, these heads have to be sent to the Beijing Division in one night!" ”

It is best to send these heads before the emperor officially issues an edict to investigate the three guards, and if it is too late, the effect may be reduced. And from Zhenyuwei to Jingshi, one day and night is the limit of manpower, as for whether he can rush there, it depends on his Li Xin's creation.

Qian Taiyi gritted his teeth and said: "This is not difficult, a month ago, a group of horse teams with outside the border wall were confiscated, and the lower officials selected hundreds of proficient horsemen from among the guards, one of whom carried several heads, with two horses, and arrived in Beijing at night!" ”

This is really not a solution, Li Xin nodded.

"It's so good, it's going to be arranged immediately tonight, don't delay!"

"The lower official knows!"

Li Xingang wanted to get Qian Tai to arrange, but who knew that Qian Tai still had something.

"My lord, there is still something to report to the lower officials!"

"What's the matter, say, be concise!"

"It's the two red-haired ghosts."

It turned out to be Heisenberg and Albert, Li Xin was slightly surprised, didn't these two people go to visit the site of the iron factory, did they have eyebrows so quickly?

Qian Tai complained to Li Xin: "Those two red-haired ghosts have asked for money and people several times. Fortunately, the number is not large, no more than 100 taels each time, and there are only a few dozen people. But this time, the one who was called the castle opened his mouth widely, and a mouth cost three thousand taels of silver, and five hundred men......"

Speaking of these two red-haired ghosts, Qian Tai reported that while these two people asked for money and things, he kept complaining that these two people were insatiable, and the implicit meaning was that they were suspicious of profiting from them and enriching their own pockets.

Li Xin suddenly asked, "Did Heisenberg and Albert hand in the paperwork?" ”

Qian Tai slapped his head at this time, "Yes, there is, but there are ghost talismans on it, and the lower officials don't know any of them." With that, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Li Xin.

Of course, it was written in English, and although the grammar and diction were very different from those of Lee Shin after a few hundred years, the general meaning could always be understood.

It turned out that Heisenberg and Albert had discovered iron ore thirty miles south of the Acropolis, and the site of the plant was determined here, and the coke needed for ironmaking still had to be purchased from the two coal-producing areas of Hunyuan Prefecture and Datong Zuowei.

This made Li Xin very excited, and after learning a lot of bad news, there was finally good news that made him happy.

"Heisenberg and Albert ask for money for money, for people to give people, for things to give things, don't ask about the rest, let them do it, you just have to report it truthfully!"

Although Qian Tai didn't understand why Li Xin trusted the two red-haired ghosts so much, he still muttered in his heart.

Li Xin didn't close his eyes all day and night, and he was already extremely tired, so he went to the side room on the other side to rest, and finally fell asleep.

Until the third stroke of the moon, the sound of fighting bursts, and the entire Acropolis fell into darkness and silence.

The guards patrolling outside the Yamen of the Ministry of Health were patrolled in groups of three on the road facing the street in accordance with the regulations. Outside the wall of the third courtyard, a black shadow suddenly jumped in, and the subtle sound of landing was almost imperceptible.

It happened that a soldier passed by on his hind feet, listened for a while, and said strangely: "Hey, hey, listen, is there any movement?" ”

The passing soldiers also listened for a while, vaguely as if they were aware of the sound of Suosuo, and after listening carefully, there seemed to be nothing, so they complained: "Our town guards are heavily guarded, how many villains can come in?" Yes, there are also snakes and rats. ”

"Phew, Bah, Bah! You stinky mouth, what is not good, the rats of the town guards have been killed a long time ago! ”

At that time, the guards were still shrouded in the panic of the plague, and people naturally talked about the rat's discoloration, and the soldier was unobtrusive, and immediately attracted the rebuke of his companions.

Just when the night patrol soldiers were talking because of the rats, the black shadow was coming to the outside of the wing where Huang Yu lived, and knocked lightly twice outside the window, only to see the candle in the house lit and the door creaked open.

The black shadow flashed into the room lightly, and saw Huang Yu sitting on the chair, which was an arched hand.

"Childe has no news this day, but he is in a hurry!"

In the dim candlelight, Huang Yu's face already had a faint blood color, and she smiled: "What's the hurry?" It's not good, I'm trying to figure out how to summon you! ”

The black-clothed man who claimed to be a thin bamboo bowed down and asked, "What's the matter with Childe?" But command! ”

Huang Yu glanced at the man in black in front of her, and let out a long sigh instead of asking.

"Uncle Fu and you have followed me for ten years, just like Huang Yu's relatives, and now Uncle Fu has contracted the plague, and life and death are unpredictable, but this time I want you to go far away......"

The candlelight was dim and flickering, and the face of the man in black could not be seen clearly, but his voice was very firm.

"The second uncle treats the thin bamboo like a father, and this kindness is remembered in my heart, but the matter of the son is related to the great cause, and I have to mention it again for my own selfishness!"

Huang Yu didn't say anything anymore, but pulled out two copper pipes from under the pillow.

"Two things." said that he handed over the first pipe to the man in black, "This pipe is handed over to my brother, it has been described in detail, and there is no need for anything else." Then he handed over the second tube, "This tube, but it's going to Jingshi......

Fu Shouzhu put the two copper pipes that had been marked into his arms one by one, and said solemnly: "Shouzhu will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

"Be quick, I will go to Daizhou overnight, and then go to Jingshi, and at this time tomorrow, the second letter must be handed over...... Hands. ”

After that, Huang Yu's face was already tired, "Go quickly!" ”

Fu Shouzhu wanted to speak and stopped, and said goodbye.

"Childe take care!"

A black shadow came out of the Weisi Yamen unconsciously.
