Mabuya ran like a frightened hare, and the air he inhaled in his lungs was so hot that he couldn't stop coughing as he ran, but he didn't care about it and had no specific goal, only ran and ran, until he finally fell to the ground with all his might. biquge.info As a former warrior of the Kulon tribe, he should not have been such a wolf, but when he remembered the loud fire thrown by the dark army just now, he couldn't suppress his fear.

It's over, it's all over, looking at the direction of the gold mine, Ma Buya flashed a thought, almost all the adult males in the whole society except for a few who ran out separately such as himself, all the army was killed by terrifying means, which couldn't help but make him hate the Great Elder's decision, for such a gold mine to pay the whole company as a generational value?

"Mabuya, Mabuya!" A voice sounded, Mabuya looked back, only to see a person kneeling there not far away, he walked over to look, it was Siti from the same society, but Siti was bleeding from his body, and he couldn't hold on to it when he ran here. "Mabuya, go back, go back, the community, the old man, the child, the devil, run away"

Setty, who was on the verge of dying, said intermittently, but Mabua's heart sank to the bottom - with the production level of the high mountains, without men, the destruction of a clan and a society is just around the corner - what should I do? It is absolutely impossible for the surrounding societies to take in the old and weak women and children who cannot go out hunting, what should we do? Azabuya buried Sitty's body in a daze and stumbled towards the community.

When Mabuya returned to the society, the people who had escaped in advance had already reported the bad news, and the whole society was in a miserable storm at the moment, but Mabuya didn't care about his wife and children who were glad that he was alive, so he hurriedly found the remaining adult men, and there were only seventeen men left in the Silin Society, which was once a Tamsui Taisha, at this time, and five of them were half-old soldiers who could not fight.

"What should I do?" As for the problem of Mabua, many people have thought about it, but they are equally helpless. "We people will never be able to feed these children, can we just watch them die one by one?"

"What else else can I do?" A warrior named Wangsai said sullenly. "At most, each person will bring one more, and the rest can only let the mountain gods decide whether they live or die."

As he was talking, a sudden creepy feeling surged in Mabuya's heart, and before he could react, he heard the women in the club crying loudly, and at the same time a panicked cry came: "Ghost, it's a mountain ghost!" ”

"Not good!" A few men who went out to fight immediately understood. "It was the mountain ghost summoned by the Han people who chased after him." When they rushed out of the hut where the clan was deliberating, they found the palpitating knives and guns under the sparkling torches. "Fight with them"

"I can't help myself." Looking at the appearance of Shengfan who was holding all kinds of strange weapons and was desperate to protect his family, Xie Jiping sneered, but did not give the order to attack, but instead rushed to the interpreter's order. "Sue them to drop their weapons, or the chickens and dogs won't stay!" The interpreter muttered a call, but Wangse didn't believe it at all, and fought hard, but the bronze knife was held by the rattan card, and then two spears nailed him to the ground. "Say it again, drop your weapons!"

Ma Buya grabbed his companions who were about to rush out, shook his head, and pointed to the women and children who were cowering, and the remnants of the Silin Society soldiers looked at the crying children, and put down their weapons in despair, and soon they were tied up.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Xie Jiping's words were not only addressed to these high mountain students, but also to the slave soldiers who had similar experiences. "Just ask you to go down the mountain and set an example for the students on all sides, if anyone dares to fight the court, you will end"

On the way down the mountain, Tan An quietly asked Xie Jiping: "To be an example, you should not leave an inch of grass, what is going on?" ”

"You're just a tendon, so you're the team leader now." Xie Jiping looked back at the night sky stained red by fire. "What does it mean to live rather than die? The society has been burned, can these lonely souls and wild ghosts escape from our palms? "Maybe I think my words sound too shady," Xie explained. Opening a gold mine is not about manpower, the man throws it in, and he is lucky to survive three years, as for the old and weak women and children, there is not much land under the Tamsui Mountain, just detain them to open up the wasteland, and after three or five years, the birth will become several times."

"The amount of grain harvested this year has been counted." Li Jing, who was transferred to the head of the warehouse department, reported that due to the severe drought this year, the people were reluctant to sell, so the amount of grain collected by the manager of the internal government was not enough. "The pacification division of two counties and three roads in Dongning purchased a total of 40,000 stone of rice and 18,000 stone of noodles, the total number of which was 80 percent and 70 percent lower than that of the previous year, but 110,000 stone of rice was imported from Siam, Annam and other places, which was enough to make up for the gap in each warehouse."

"What about the people's food?" Although he spent the same amount of money but did not buy enough food, and even spent more money to achieve external purchases, Zheng Kezang's first thought was the food and clothing of the people, of course, this was not because he loved the people like children, he really didn't want Dongning to fall into chaos because of this, so as to create opportunities for the Qing court. "The people may be fed."

"The grandson can rest assured that because of the sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes planted, there is no problem with food and clothing for the people." Gu Tongshan, who was transferred from the governor of Tianxing Prefecture to the director of the Yingtian Division, reported. "There are also some of them who have won kudzu, and the harvest is good, but the people sell the rice and white flour that they have harvested with great difficulty to pay taxes, and can only eat sweet potatoes and other foods, and the scene is very miserable."

miserable, of course, but who cares, no, Liu Chongxi, the official of the Zhidu Division, said with a wrenched face: "Lord Gu, don't take care of the people first, this clan has spent 280,000 taels this year, and the income is only 21 taels, of which there is a deficit of 70,000 yuan and the expenditure of the inner treasury of the grandson, which is survived this year, what should I do next year?" ”

"Tamsui's gold mine said that there is a monthly income of five hundred taels, will it be better next year?"

"Master Ke only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." Hong Lei explained to Ke Ping and everyone present. "All the proceeds from freshwater's gold mines have been diverted to freshwater iron ore." It turned out that on the edge of the gold mine, the miner found an iron mine, although the vein reserves are not large, the iron ore quality is very low, but if it is vigorously mined, it can double the pig iron production in Dongning, based on the growing threat from the mainland, so Zheng Kezhang made the decision to invest the gold mine income into iron ore mining in the first time. "So I can't count on these six thousand taels, maybe I have to make up for it further."

Of course, the road from the mining area to the wharf, the expansion of warehouses and wharves, the construction of defensive fortresses, the increase in the number of garrisons, and so on all cost money, but Zheng Kezhang just has no money, and he really suffocates the hero for a penny.

"Okay, let's talk about money next year." Seeing the big eyes of the people present, Zheng Kezang was also irritable. "Let's settle the other two things first." Zheng Kezang's so-called other two things are actually connected, one is that the fresh water is drawn from the North Road to pacify the division, and the other is Li Cang's reward. "There is a freshwater pacification department, with Li Cang as the pacification envoy from the five products, and there are five rooms for the police, camps, taxation, salt and iron, and schools." Regarding Zheng Kezang's decision, the ministers naturally had no other opinions, and seeing everyone nodding, Zheng Kezang stood up, but he only took a step and listened to it. "This year, the former king and the national queen passed away one after another, and it is during the national mourning, so the New Year's ceremony should not be held."

What the? The ministers looked at each other, and many people even thought that this was an excuse that Zheng Kezhang was looking for in order to save expenses, of course, some people didn't think so, among them, Zhang Riyao, the director of the Department of Taxation, took the lead in standing up and admonishing: "The grandson, the grandson has just taken the throne, if the great court ceremony is not done, what will the officials think, what will the people think." ”

Zhang Riyao is the son of Zhang Jin, the loyal Kuangbo, and his words represent the thoughts of a considerable number of Dongning officials.

"Qing's loyalty, Yu knows." Who is Zheng Kezang's grievances talking to? "However, the state affairs are difficult, and the cost of a grand ceremony is enough to feed thousands of people, so," Zheng Kezang promised. "When the drought eases, Yu will definitely hold a lively and lively ceremony." Zhang Riyao still wanted to admonish again, but Zheng Kezhang waved his sleeves. "Let's Disperse"

"Shisun, when can Lianniang meet her mother?" Zheng Kezhang didn't want his wives and concubines to see his troubled side, so once he had a headache, he usually ran to Feng Lianniang's Xinzhuyuan to entertain him.

Zheng Kezhang leaned on the head of the bed without an image, and his hand reached out in Feng Lianniang's arms to play with the pair of plump - although he didn't really have the first sword footing, but after his adjustment, Feng Lianniang could already pose in various embarrassing poses according to his mind, but Zheng Kezang's favorite thing was to hold the girl in his arms and gently sniff the fragrance of Feng Lianniang's body.

"Someone is watching, so you don't have to worry about your mother suffering." Zheng Kezhang kissed each other's earrings. "It's just that your mother's heart is not gone, if she knew that you were serving the enemy, what would she think," Zheng Kezhang felt Feng Lianniang's body shake, so he was relieved. "Let's wait for another year or two with peace of mind, and when the rest of the system is over, I will give you a name, maybe she can figure it out."

Feng Lianniang nodded aggrievedly, she had fallen into the clutches of Zheng Kezang, what could she do if she was disobedient, Zheng Kezhang understood the girl's feelings, pulled it out and patted her buttocks: "You are also aggrieved in the courtyard, do you want to take you to the temple fair in Chengtian Mansion for a walk." ”

Feng Lianniang's eyes lit up, and then dimmed: "Don't do it, in case the lady knows"

It is impossible for Feng Lianniang's news in Anping City to completely hide from Chen Xianqiao, although Chen Xianqiao pretended not to know for the sake of Zheng Kezang's face, but this does not mean that Feng Lianniang can pick Zheng Kezhang to take her white dragon fish suit.

"I've wronged you." Zheng Kezhang looked at the girl in a daze, and then gently pried open the other party's teeth and kissed it deeply. "Lianniang!" After a long time, Zheng Kezhang left the other party's lips with a trace of crystal spittle, and asked with pity. "Are you ready?" Feng Lianniang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, but she nodded gently but firmly, and Zheng Kezhang rubbed her head with a smile. "Tonight, I won't leave"
