"I see, I'm overthinking!" Tong Xiaowu walked over from behind Lu Xing and looked at Wu Zhuo, the self-reported school captain in front of him.

The rank of captain is varied, according to the different types of their own troops, the title is different, among which the infantry is the infantry captain, the city wall maintenance is the middle base captain, the city gate is the city gate captain, and the cavalry is the Yue cavalry captain, and the shooting captain is the non-commissioned officer responsible for the archers, and the official rank is seven.

Tong Xiaowu looked around, and sure enough, within ten miles of the south of Huanfeng Pass, there are places where snow melts, and Huanfeng Pass is like this as far as the eye can see from the north, which proves that there are such landforms in the north and a hundred miles next to Huanfeng Pass.

"King Xuan has been coming to Beizhou for more than ten days, and I am waiting for the prince to come to our Huanfeng Pass, but the prince seems to be very busy and has not come.

Princess, you see what this pass looks like, we have less than a hundred people stationed here, if the cavalry of the North Underworld comes, we can't stop it at all, especially at night, his N Trull is a master who eats the emperor's food and doesn't do business, and I don't know what the palace thinks, and let this kind of person be a general, which hurts our Beizhou ......"

This Wu Zhuo talks endlessly, and there are a lot of verbal curses, but he is a straight man, and he can say whatever he wants.

Tong Xiaowu went to the head of Huanfeng Pass, looking north, the continuous hills rose one after another, the mountains here are not so steep mountains, there are no barriers.

On the contrary, because Huanfeng Pass is located in the Leanbei Mountain, although the slope is not very high, it occupies a geographical advantage, but the city walls to the east and west of Huanfeng Pass are damaged, and there are roads between the mountains in the distance.

"What's that place over there?" Tong Xiaowu pointed to the road over there.

"The way for the common people to cross the mountains, over the years, the people of the Northern Underworld have occasionally come from that side, exchanging livestock skins for grain, salt, medicinal herbs, etc., and they will also attack along that side." Captain Wu Zhuo, who was shooting on the side, opened his mouth to explain.

"Princess, we don't have enough manpower, more than a hundred people, it's not enough to patrol shifts at night, and we still have to keep people in the aisle you saw.

But if there are thirty-four people from the north of the underworld, we have no room to fight back, and there are walls on both sides, let's go to the big stone to repair, the pass is not guarded, don't repair it, they are coming, we can only watch, put two arrows, scare and scare.

To tell the truth, fortunately, many tribes in the North are not in harmony now, and they have not gathered troops to march on a large scale, otherwise, let alone Beizhou, even Qinzhou and Jingzhou will have to be taken down by others......"

Tong Xiaowu nodded, looking at the endless boundary in the north, "There are still ten days to go before the New Year, wait for the New Year, the prince will let people come over to repair the city wall, and you will cooperate more when the time comes!" ”

Tong Xiaowu turned around and walked towards the city pass, walked two steps, and suddenly saw a wine jar on the ground, she looked down, looked back at Wu Zhuo, and he quickly explained:

"The night was cold, and the soldiers couldn't bear it, so they drank it at night, all for the cold, for the cold!"

"This is against military discipline, and no matter how cold it is, it is not a reason to drink!" Tong Xiaowu kicked the wine jar, this is not to drink it to keep out the cold, this jar goes down, and the dozen or so soldiers on the city gate have to go back to sleep.

"Hmm......" Wu Zhuo pursed his lips and did not speak.

Waiting for Tong Xiaowu and them to leave and ride away, he shook the horsewhip in his hand heavily, "A woman, she really thinks she is a bean, this Beizhou has been like this for more than ten years, and you are still looking forward to changing when you come?"

The result? Three people came, a woman, came here to take a look, asked two words, said a suggestion that was not salty or light, and then it was gone?

Fart, it's all bullshit, I hate it...... I really hate that I wasn't born in the North Underworld, if I am in the North Underworld, I will gather all the tribes of the M......"

"Shut up, don't talk about it!" The cronies who followed him stepped forward and pulled him, and looked around, Wu Zhuo realized that there were several soldiers around him, and he couldn't say anything.

He angrily shook his horsewhip, returned to Huanfeng Pass, returned to the military headquarters, gathered everyone, and reprimanded loudly.

"Who told you to drink at night, don't you know? What about the large-scale invasion of the Northern Underworld? The New Year is coming, they lack food and clothing, that's a matter of maybe, you all show me your heads one by one, whoever drinks on duty in the future will be dealt with by military law! ”

"Yes," the more than 100 people replied in unison!

Back in Beizhou City, Tong Xiaowu began to look at the local map, and then asked people to make a large wooden plate, pull the soil into the house, and began to make a topographic map.

I did it for a while, and in the afternoon, Mama Zhang entered the house.

"Princess, the county guard of Black Wolf County has already sent the second wave of grain, and now these days the soup porridge is 1,500 catties of rice a day, and more than 10,000 catties of grain have been used in the past ten days."

"Oh, go ahead!" Tong Xiaowu opened her mouth and said, she has calculated, there is not much money, although one or two pieces of silver are enough for ordinary people to eat for two or three months, but compared to the money she spent in the flooding of the two lakes, this is really nothing.

This rice is four taels a pound in Black Wolf County, and only four taels of silver for a thousand catties, and these people only have five taels of silver a day, counting the money for artificially boiling porridge, it is no more than seven taels of silver, and it is only more than two hundred taels a month.

She is full of people in the restaurant in the capital, and she has an income of more than 200,000 taels for a casual activity, and her glass beads, which were bought by those jewelers, are all calculated by grams, and a fifty-gram bead is enough for these people to eat a month's porridge.

So, she can afford to spend this money!

"Counting the cotton clothes, we have spent more than a thousand taels of silver, which is the income of ordinary people for several lifetimes!" Mama Zhang on the side couldn't help but vomit.

Tong Xiaowu laughed, "It's okay, go on, the cotton clothes are also done over there, whoever needs it will be given to whomever you need, the people, it's useful to maintain it, we won't go back in Beizhou in a day or two, it's not good, we have to develop here for a long time." ”

Mama Zhang sighed, nodded, and went out.

Qingxiu's injuries have improved a lot, and now she can get out of bed and walk away, now she is sitting on the side, watching Tong Xiaowu busy, and complaining, "Princess, my body is really fine, just let me go outside the house to help, right?" ”

In the past two days, Qingxiu wanted to go out to help with the porridge, but Tong Xiaowu just disagreed: "When, Doctor Li said that you can, you can go out, otherwise you can recuperate!" ”
