Fifty delphinium

A grass shack with double flying swallow flags hanging high in front of the door, and a snack bar with a sign that reads 'Northern Flavor'. Two northern men set up tables and chairs in front of the door, shouting loudly: "Shandong big steamed buns, Liaodong hot soybean milk, northern baked cakes." ”

Feng Axe, Xin Fu, Cheng Si, and Du Ming sat down in front of the store and said, "Boss Song, Boss Zhang, come with four bowls of soy milk and four baked cakes, and they should be hot." ”

Boss Song shouted, "It's coming." Freshly baked soy milk, don't be in a hurry to drink it, the freshly baked baked cakes will be hot to hold. General Feng, Captain Xin, Captain Cheng, Captain Du, you four military masters, please use it slowly. ”

Boss Song and Boss Zhang served soy milk and baked cakes.

Feng Axe picked up the baked cake.

Xin Fu also picked up the baked cake and kept changing hands and said, "It's so hot, it's so hot." It's really freshly baked, so hot. ”

Cheng Si said: "Third brother, you slapped all the sesame seeds on the baked cake on the table, it's a pity." The flavor of the baked cake depends on these sesame seeds. Old five, you also take a piece and eat it while it's hot. ”

Du Ming also picked up the baked cake, deliberately slapped the baked cake twice, and slapped the sesame seeds on the table.

Feng Axe said in words: "Old Song, old Zhang." The two of you came here to open a shop, and your life is not bad. ”

Boss Song said with a smile: "You military masters appreciate the light, and the business is not bad." Thanks to the grace of the princess. ”

Feng Axe asked, "Then why are you still thinking about King Yan?" ”

A big hat buckled Song, Zhang and the others were dizzy, and Boss Song laughed and said, "General Feng, where do you start with this?" ”

Feng Axe pointed to the banner and said, "Isn't it clear that you embroidered Feiyan on the flag?" ”

Boss Song suddenly realized, and explained with a smile: "General Feng, this is much worse, it is completely different things. The Yanwang military flag is a swallow with its head upward. On our banner are two swiftlets. The two of us are from the northern Yandi, one is to attract the brothers from the north to taste the taste of their hometown, and the other is to attract the local folks to taste the freshness, and that's it. And our double flying swallow head is downward, which is not at all the same as the Yan army flag. ”

Feng Axe said: "Then you are still homesick!" ”

Boss Song said seriously: "Save some money and have a chance to go back to your hometown to see." If you want to say that you want to stay and settle down for a long time, it is better to stay here. There is no bitter winter here, and the main thing is that there is no war here, and there is no war that can never be fought. When you get older, you want to be stable and peaceful. ”

Boss Zhang hurriedly interjected and interrupted: "Four generals, you eat slowly, what else you need, just command." We won't bother. ”

Song and Zhang went back to the store.

Du Ming nodded and said: "It seems that the princess is really capable, not only can she govern the army, but Yizhou has also been governed by her quite well." ”

Xin Fu said in an unassuming tone: "What is that? It's not a princess yet, she has a lot of money. I want her money, what can't I do? ”

Cheng Si nodded and said, "Yes, our princess seems to have endless money, and she never seems to have bothered about money." ”

Feng Axe said seriously: "I also think it's strange, where did her money come from? One is not taxed in Yizhou, and the other is not paid by Soochow, but her money is always spent. Not to mention that the governance of this large piece of land in Yizhou, even the construction of the Chongwu Peninsula, will also cost thousands of silver taels. ”

Du Ming said: "I said Brother Feng, in our army, the leader is the princess, but the deputy is the eldest brother." is so capable of writing and martial arts, and there is a princess who can't spend enough money, why didn't the eldest brother catch it, but cheapened the simple Doro? ”

Feng Axe said with emotion: "Such a beauty, how could I not think about it? Originally, I respected her as the mother of the first empire, so I didn't dare to have a heart for wrongdoing. Later, when the first emperor died, she transferred me to the flagship. I originally thought that this time I could get close to the water and get the moon first, but I didn't expect her to suddenly come to the water, and then a few of you came to mutiny, and the result was all five feet revealed. She's got along with us. Where to start? ”

Du Ming said: "It doesn't matter what you have in this life, Long Hong can get a big bargain, not only promoted, but also get lotus leaves, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Cheng Si said: "Which of the female soldiers under the princess is not charming? Even Miki, the wooden man, got his hands on the water chestnut. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and when I left my hometown in Nagasaki, the princess gave him four ingots of gold. That's how much it should be! ”

Xin Fu said: "If only the princess could reward me with a female soldier beside her, I will also start a family in Yizhou and not leave." It's the new little widow Lotus Core, who is honest and capable, and her little face is so cute, it's really ......"

Feng Axe interrupted him impatiently and said, "Don't be so unproductive. If we could know where the princess's money came from, and we got the money, what kind of girls can't find it? ”

Feng Axe mentioned a key issue, Xin Fu, Du Ming, and Cheng Si were all silent and fell into deep thought.

Cheng Si said in a low voice: "We don't know where the princess's money is, but one person probably knows." ”

Feng Axe, Xin Fu, and Du Ming immediately came up and asked, "Who?" Who is it? ”

Cheng Si said: "It's the one who gambled with us last night." ”

Xin Fu said: "Is that the idiot who gave us money to spend? No way. A few of us clearly let him drill, but he still didn't look back, lost all the money and didn't understand what was going on, and pretended to be very chic, put the money on the table, and walked back with his head straight. ”

The four laughed.

Du Ming said seriously: "Not necessarily, Zhou An really knows a thing or two." ”

The three of them said in unison, "Oh-"

Du Ming said: "First, Zhou An and the princess, water chestnut they are very close, and water chestnut often calls him Uncle Zhou, and their friendship is not shallow. ”

The three nodded in agreement, "Hmm." ”

Du Ming said: "Second, Zhou An has been in Yizhou for more than 20 years, he claims to be the local protector of Yizhou, and he knows all about local affairs, so the princess will not hide it from others." ”

Feng Axe nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”

Cheng Si squinted and whispered, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." You see, Zhou An came from over there. ”

Xin Fu smiled: "It seems that Zhou An didn't eat breakfast. He lost all the money for food last night. ”

Cheng Si added: "I heard that once he lost all his money and had no food to steal sweet potatoes for dinner. ”

Feng Axe said with a heart: "Then we have a chance!" Boss Song, we're all done eating, let's put away the bowls. Today, Big Brother is in for a treat. ”

Feng Axe put the silver money on the table.

Boss Song cleaned up the bowls, took Feng Axe's money, and went back to the store.

Fifty-one years of peace talks

Zhou An walked over and smiled: "The four of you are having breakfast, right?" ”

The four of them said in unison, "General Zhou, please take a seat." We just ran out. ”

As they spoke, the four of them stuffed the biscuits in their hands into their mouths and chewed loudly.

Boss Song came up and asked diligently, "What does General Zhou want to eat?" ”

Zhou An said with a big grin: "I have already used it." ”

Zhou An made a snort and said, "I'm very full." Go ahead and get busy with yours. ”

Boss Song smiled: "Yes, General Zhou, please take a seat, and the villain will serve at any time." ”

Boss Song returned to the store.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled secretly.

Five people sat around the table.

The dining table had been cleaned up, except for the sesame seeds that had just been scattered on the table.

Feng Axe said with a smile: "I heard that General Zhou developed Yizhou, and he worked hard. ”

Zhou An said loudly proudly: "I don't dare to be a high meritorious, but I really have a lot of hard work." The first group of people sent to Yizhou by Governor Lu was me, Zhou An. ”

Xin Fu said: "Please ask Senior Zhou to talk about the experience of coming to Yizhou at that time, so that those of us who come after us can have a long experience. ”

Zhou An said: "When our first group of soldiers first arrived, Yizhou was really desolate. There is no port, no wharf, and of course no grass huts and houses. Everywhere you see is lush grass, all kinds of flowers, and towering trees. Walk dozens of miles to see a company. It is said that it is in the community, but in fact, there are only four or five households, and there are only ten households. ”

Cheng Si smiled and whispered to Du Ming: "It seems that Zhou An really didn't eat breakfast, and he has already looked at the sesame grains on the table three times." ”

Du Ming smiled and nodded silently.

Xin Fu deliberately asked: "Then how did these docks and these families get more later?" ”

Zhou An said: "These wharves and houses were built by us in accordance with the instructions of Governor Lu. Later, it all came in handy. The number of ships increased one by one, and people also came one by one, saying that the Central Plains was in constant war and could not live, and they wanted to find a stable place to live a stable life. People who came said that Yizhou was not war-torn, the climate was good, the land was fertile, and it was really a paradise to avoid chaos. So there are more and more people, and it is getting more and more lively. ”

Cheng Si whispered to Du Ming again: "Zhou An looked at those sesame seeds three more times, it seems that he is really hungry." ”

Du Ming nodded, smiling silently.

Feng Axe asked: "Governor Lu Dadu developed Yizhou, built so many projects, and helped so many people live and prosper in Yizhou, it must have cost the imperial court a lot of silver taels, right?" ”

Zhou An shook his head and said, "Governor Lu was just an ordinary squire at that time, how could he use the imperial court's silver taels?" Those silver taels are all produced in Yizhou. ”

Feng Axe, Xin Fu, Du Ming, and Cheng Si were all surprised by this.

Feng Axe asked Zhou Andao in a low voice: "Yizhou is a remote island, where can you get silver taels?" ”

Zhou An said in the tone of a senior: "You are bad at saying this. There is a jade mountain in Yizhou, and the mountain is full of beautiful jade. ”

The four of them opened their eyes wide and said, "Oh, Jade Mountain—the mountain is full of beautiful jade. ”

Zhou An said: "There is also a gold mountain in Yizhou, and the mountain is full of gold. ”

The four of them were even more surprised: "The gold mountain is gold all over the mountain?" ”

Zhou An said more energetically: "In addition to the Jade Mountain and the Golden Mountain, there is another silver mountain in Yizhou. ”

The four of them nodded and said, "Of course there are silver coins everywhere in the silver mountain?" ”

Zhou An said ostentatiously: "Yes, there are silver coins everywhere. ”

Feng Axe asked in a serious whisper: "Since the mountains are full of beautiful jade, gold, and silver money, what are you still working hard to farm and do?" Everyone goes to dig for gold and silver, and they can't eat it all. ”

Xin Fu whispered to Du Ming again: "Lao Zhou is paying attention to the sesame grains again. ”

Du Ming impatiently pushed Xin Fu away and asked Zhou An directly, "General Zhou, have you also dug up a lot of gold and silver?" ”

Zhou An said: "How can I dig gold? Gold and silver can only be obtained by the superintendent himself. ”

The four of them looked at each other and nodded, and said, "It turns out that the chief has to go and get it himself." ”

Zhou An continued: "Before taking gold and silver, the governor needs to pay homage to the mountain god, and tell the mountain god that the gold and silver are taken to create land and property for the people, and to purchase the necessary utensils. After praying to the gods, the mountain gods allow it, and the governor can go and take it. If others dare to steal, they will be dragged away by wild dogs, and their bones will be lost. ”

Feng Axe nodded secretly, knowing in his heart.

Feng Axe further asked, "Oh, I see. So General Zhou also took it from the chief of control, right? ”

Zhou An's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Of course. Every time the governor took the money, he would call me, and as soon as he dug it, he would get the gold and silver back. ”

The four of them looked at each other, nodded to each other, and decided to work Zhou An.

Du Ming asked Zhou Andao again: "I heard that in the last battle with the Yan soldiers, General Zhou was very brave and made great gains. ”

When Zhou An heard that he was asked to talk about the battle with the Yan army, his eyes lit up, and he said energetically: "Of course. You see, at that time, the Yan army was stationed on the top of the back mountain, and there were three or four hundred people. ”

Zhou An stuck out his tongue, dipped his saliva with his fingers, and drew on the table.

Cheng Si whispered to Du Ming: "Obediently, Lao Zhou drew this circle and eliminated five sesame seeds." ”

Zhou An continued to dip his saliva on the tip of his tongue, and said while drawing: "This is a road, leading to the port. The port had five warships of the Yan army. I, as for me, was in ambush in the middle of the night in the woods beside this path behind the camp. ”

Cheng Si counted in a low voice: "Eliminate six more, destroy four more, and eliminate five more." ”

Zhou An continued to paint and said: "That night, I attacked the Yan army camp three times from here, here, and here. Yan Jun didn't sleep well all night. At dawn we lay in ambush here, this, this, several places. ”

Cheng Si continued to count down: "Three, two, one, there are no sesame seeds on the table, only three are still on the table." ”

Xin Fu gloated and whispered, "Lao Zhou didn't get these three grains a few times. ”

Xin Fuxue Zhou An said: "'That night, I didn't eat a single grain from here, here, here'. ”

Cheng Si also learned from Zhou Andao: "'We are ambushed here, this, this,' and we haven't eaten." The three sesame seeds are still in the seam of the table. ”

Zhou An pondered: "At this time, at this time, ......"

Cheng Si snickered and whispered: "The three sesame seeds sewn by the table, see how he destroys them." ”

Zhou An pointed his finger at the table and said, "At this time, let's wait, wait, wait, wait......"

Cheng Si gloated and whispered: "It seems that he can't eat these three sesame seeds." ”

Zhou An anxiously rubbed his thighs with his hands and said, "What should I do at this time, what should I do?" ”

Zhou An suddenly had a flash of inspiration, he slapped the table hard, and said proudly: "Yes! Right! At this time, the princess's fleet arrived, and the Yan army desperately fled to the port, so I led the team to pursue them with victory, and they were all arrested here, here, and here. ”

The skills were shocked, Zhou An slapped the table, and the three sesame seeds jumped out of the crack of the table together.

Cheng Si watched with regret as the three sesame seeds were eliminated by Zhou An one by one.
