Since you're here, let's stay a little longer, it's snowing so much, and it is estimated that no thieves will come. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a few people were roasting around the stove there, Zhu Lin opened a letter, sat on the side and read it carefully. Zhu Lin quickly read the three letters. Li Zhi looked at Zhu Lin, and tears flickered in Zhu Lin's eyes. Li Zhi took a glass of water and put it aside and asked with concern, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Lin nodded and shook his head again. turned around and wiped a handful of tears and asked Zhu Chengli. "Uncle Zhu, how much food do we have? ”

"Young master, it's enough to eat. Judging from the current situation, it can last until the summer harvest next year. And I ordered another batch of grain as a reserve. The first few days have already been delivered. The snow is so big, the next year will be a good harvest year. After Zhu Chengli finished speaking, everyone nodded.

Li Zhi took a letter from Zhu Zheng and read it there. After reading it, I will understand Zhu Lin's mood. Three letters in a row. Tell Zhu Lin to eat less and wear less here on the front line. The brutality of the offensive and defensive battles of Jeseong. After reading it, Li Zhi put the letter aside. said: "I didn't expect the front line to be so bitter. What has the court done? Zhu Lin, what do you think should be done?"

Zhu Lin was also worried. Jeseong is so big, the amount of food to help the victims is not a small number. Looking at the eldest brother's letter, although he captured Jicheng, it was not very stable. The Nu people are still eyeing the north of the Yellow River. From time to time, I come over to harass the grain transport route. Zhu Lin thought about it and asked about the situation. said: "We don't have much food in stock. I can't spare much to give to the front. So be it. Uncle Zhu, buy another batch of grain. Let the craftsmen step up the manufacture of weapons. Make as much gunpowder and guns as you can. Wait for this heavy snow to stop. Let the second brother and Zheng Jiu take people to the front line. Although it is not about destroying the family and relieving the difficulties. But it's a handful to be able to help. After all, the big brother is there. Hey!"

Zhu Chengli knew that something might have happened to the front line. So I nodded and agreed. I turned around and took someone to arrange. Zhu Lin and Li Zhi chatted there.

"Zhu Lin, the slave clan is unparalleled in the world, and the starting power is strong. This batch of people who escort grain and grass must choose good people. It is hoped that the front line can be controlled on the front line of the Yellow River. Otherwise, if Yuan Dashuai is defeated. The speed of the slave iron cavalry is 800 miles a night, and it will not be long before they can break through to us. Even if it's for a little more time for development in the future. Help too. ”

Zhu Lin has been here for a long time. I know the ferocity of the slave people. nodded, and told Li Zhi that he would take this matter to heart. talked with Li Zhi for a while about the current situation. Zhu Lin went upstairs to read. But Li Zhi was looking at the map drawn by Zhu Lin in the study.

The snow kept falling for half a month before it stopped. Fortunately, Zhu Lin's houses here are all brick houses, otherwise the snow can crush the house. As soon as the snow stopped, Wang Guangxu took the students in the school and began to sweep the snow on the roof of the house. Shen Mo and others came to help clean up. It was cold, dripping into ice. Everyone is in full swing there. Zhu Lin was sweeping the snow from the greenhouse with a broom. Speaking of which, there are not many fresh vegetables grown in the greenhouse. Planted some cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, celery and the like. Just for the vegetables grown in these two greenhouses, Zhu Lin took a lot of thought through his old nose. Select the seeds and cultivate them intensively. It's winter. Zhu Lin sent the first batch of furnaces to be produced. I'm afraid that the vegetables in these two conservatories will freeze. After clearing the snow, I just climbed down the small ladder. I heard Zheng Jiu riding a horse there shouting: "Young master, the righteous king is here, waiting for you at the city gate." ”

There's a horse here. Zhu Lin got on his horse and rode towards the city gate. To say that today the sky has just cleared, the righteous king has come. Something must be wrong. Zhu Lin rode to the city gate and saw King Yi with a few followers roasting a fire in the sentry box under the outer city gate. Zhu Lin dismounted and handed the horse to the soldier next to him. and ran to the bottom of the cave at the gate. The righteous king is now in plain clothes. He wore a fur robe with a big coat on the outside. The fire was still there, and it was shivering. Zhu Lin dismounted and walked into the sentry box. After the salute to the righteous king. King Yi looked at the clothes Zhu Lin was wearing and couldn't help pouting. Zhu Lin wore a 'two-and-a-half-foot' coarse cotton jacket. Wearing a locomotive hat. A belt was tied in the middle, and he wore fat crotch cotton pants underneath. Underfoot are a pair of leather boots. How do you look at it, how do you feel the same as the dirt eight roads. It's a bit bloated. "Hey, I said Zhu Lin, you have a lot of money, you make so much money to keep your cubs! The righteous king said teasingly.

"Well, just keep the cubs. Let's see if we can do more. Just wear warm clothes, how can there be so many poor and exquisite. "Zhu Lin and King Yi are familiar with each other. Neither big nor small is the talk. It would have been. King Yi was a few years older than Zhu Lin. No matter how awesome, no matter how mature. There is still a child's heart in it.

Zhu Lin choked King Yi a little sadly with a word. "Ahem, don't talk about it. Who, pour a cup of tea for this king? A soldier next to him raised his eyes and looked at the righteous king's urn and said angrily: "Your Highness, forgive your sins." There is no tea here, only hot water. I also took over immediately. ”

The righteous king just wanted to get angry. Zhu Lin persuaded that the conditions here were poor. Why don't we go to the guardhouse in the city gate? This point is to be said, there is a sentry box on both sides of the outside and bottom of the city gate, which is said to be a sentry box, which is a blockhouse. Generally, the soldiers on duty change every hour. There were eleven soldiers in one sentry box. Two people in one post. Inside the gates there was a guard's room. The soldiers who got off the sentry went to the guard room to rest, eat and so on. But go through the city gates. King Yi thought about it and put Zhu Lin aside. Kick out all the people in the sentry box. A letter to Zhu Lin. Zhu Lin took a look, hehe, it turned out that the imperial court asked King Yi to urge the Hu prefect to raise grain, grass and ordnance. Because the soldiers recruited by the imperial court a few years ago would go from Sicheng to support the front line. Supplies along the way are the responsibility of the state governments. Governor Hu is in a bit of trouble this time. Let the raised food, grass and ordnance be a lot. King Yi told Zhu Lin on the side that it was said that this was all too little. If it weren't for the sake of not long after the recovery of Sicheng. Estimated will be more.

Zhu Lin shook his head and said I can't help you with this. There is no shortage of food now. And you're not a small number, it's a few thousand stone of grain. Not counting the forage. It was raining, and the drought would have eased a bit. But by the time it rained, the autumn harvest had already passed. From autumn to next year's summer harvest, it will take so long to wait, and it is in the time of green and yellow. Food is definitely in short supply.

King Yi listened to Zhu Lin's speech. Everyone understands the truth. But the court made a decree and had to obey it. King Yi was a little anxious. There is a soft grinding and hard bubble, and Zhu Lin wants to come out a little. Zhu Lin clenched his bite but was unwilling. The righteous king hurriedly said, "If you don't give me food, I won't send people over." Didn't you ask for the former Governor of the Instrument Supervisor surnamed Yang last time? ”

Zhu Lin listened. 'Grunt' in my heart, how could Yang Jianchao fall into the hands of King Yi. Last time, Li Zhi also said that he lived in Li Zhi's hometown. He also said that it was very safe. This is what happened. But now I don't see anyone. I can't promise this righteous king, and I can't make this kid cheat.

"Oh, Your Highness the Righteous King! Last time, I said yes. Someone must send it to me. You can't be a man without being so untrustworthy. What's more, you're still a prince. The prince wants to be true. What's more, the grain, grass and ordnance are not your business, it is the business of Governor Hu, you are just urging. It's okay to give it to you. so many people. ”

When the righteous king saw it, he had to say, this kid didn't get oil and salt. I just don't want to bleed. No, we have to let him bleed. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to my brother. Hey, I can't say it. If it weren't for the secret decree given to me by the imperial court, I would have asked me to raise some of it. I'm not going to wade into these troubled waters. "One yard to one yard, you have to get something out of this matter. This king is also bitter and can't say it!

"You can't still say what you are suffering, you are a prince!"

Zhu Lin didn't let go anyway. See what you can do with me. The righteous king was also anxious. I had to tell the truth. It turned out that not only did King Yi urge Hu Zhifu to raise. The imperial court gave the righteous king a secret decree, and the righteous king also had to raise a part. The righteous king does not care about the soldiers, and the second does not care about the people. All pointed and pulled the tiger skin as a banner. Now let him go and raise food and grass. It is estimated that someone also made him stumble.

Zhu Lin understood as soon as he heard it. The heart said, it seems that your kid's life is not easy either. "King Yi, since you said it. I'm not going to be rude to you. Raising food, grass and ordnance is on me. Your last recital said that you had all the preparations and that you would send them to the front line on the same day. Because you don't know the relationship between Yuan Dashuai and me. It is impossible for me to prepare food and grass for the soldiers behind me. They have supplies from the states and their provinces. But the front line is really gone. How about we partner to escort this batch of grain, grass and ordnance to the front line. Of course, you have to pay for the money. Someone else rushed to send it to me. ”

"If you don't give money, that's what you have planned for a long time. I don't have that much money to buy. The righteous king said cheekily there.

"Forget it. The Righteous King. I won't send it either. Raise your own food and ordnance! Also, you think it's so easy for me to raise some food, grass and ordnance. After speaking, Zhu Lin turned around and opened the cotton curtain and was about to go out.

"Wait, ouch! Forget it, I agreed. As long as you have all the food, grass and ordnance. I'll pay for it. When the time comes, the king will play the court to show you merit. Zhu Lin, this is no joke. You have to be sincere. Don't be able to raise so much food and grass by then. We're going to be done with both. ”

"As long as you can keep up with the money, I have my own way. ”

"Well, you'll have to decide. Money, you know, we have a lot of expenses, and we don't have much money in our hands. I'll take credit first. How about the three-month divider. ”

"No, three months will be worth a maximum of nine thousand taels of silver. Nine thousand taels of silver is not enough to buy even food. Too little. No!" Zhu Lin wouldn't agree. I want to do good things.
