Chapter 135: Prelude to the Great War

Tens of thousands of people have cleared mountains and forests, and the desolate land around Youxian County has been reclaimed. At the same time, after the farmland was reclaimed, all the supporting ditches were dug. The shops of the Huang family, the Pang family and the Kuai family, donated a cart on the Hunan River to attract river water and irrigate the excavated farmland.

The face of Youxian County is constantly changing.

During this period, a steady stream of grain was also transported from Xiangshui to Youxian.

Every day, the county is changing.

In this era, there is no shortage of trees and forests, but farmland is the most lacking. Clearing mountains and forests is the healthy life that the people yearn for, because with farmland, there is also the foundation of life.

When the people were busy, Huo Yun was also so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

Every day, he had to meet with the gentry of Youxian County and negotiate with them. Although he was very busy every day, Huo Yun's heart was extremely satisfied, because a large amount of money entered the Huo family's treasury every day.

After dark, the study.

Huo Yun was taking stock of today's income, and after calculating it, there was a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Today I made a million dollars, and I earned five hundred stone for grain, which is really good. ”

Huo Yun put the ledger away, with a big smile on his face.

All the farmland, he made a fake book. Through the people arranged by the Huo family, they bought pieces of farmland that had been reclaimed. He then sold the farmland to other people.

The profits earned from the farmland made Huo Yun very satisfied.

Even if someone noticed the problem, Huo Yun was the soil emperor of Youxian, and the Huo family was the soil overlord of Youxian. The squires wanted to buy land, and if they complained, they could only suppress it.

Besides, he was not afraid that these people would sue in front of Liu Xiu.

First of all, the complaint may not necessarily bring him down, because Huo Yun never issued a receipt, and even if the squire gave the money, there was no evidence that he had made a mistake. Moreover, he is not Gou Hongyun, Gou Hongyun has no background, and he is the emperor of Youxian County, covering the sky in Youxian County, if the squire goes to sue, he will have to bear the consequences.

"Someone!"

Huo Yun rolled his eyes and commanded.

Immediately, Huo Yun's butler hurriedly walked in and said, "Master!"

Huo Yun asked, "In the past two days, what has Zhu Biao moved?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Zhu Biao said that he is ready, waiting for the master's order at any time." Zhu Biao also said, this time, I hope the master can give more points to Tianlongling. ”

The corners of Huo Yun's mouth rose, and he said, "A little more, can he eat it?" After a pause, Huo Yun said: "Tell Zhu Biao and let him prepare." If the task is completed beautifully this time, 210,000 stone of grain, I will give him 30%. ”

"Yes!"

The butler nodded, taking it to heart.

Huo Yun asked again, "What is Liu Xiu busy with these days?"

The butler said, "Most of the time, I run to the barracks. In addition, a small amount of time was spent summoning Ma Liangkuai Qi and Pang Tong to discuss things. As for what they are talking about, it is unknown. ”

Huo Yun nodded and said, "Liu Xiu went to the barracks to train troops to deal with Yuzhang County. However, Tai Shi Ci is not a good stubble, and he wants to attack Yuzhang County with a thousand troops in Liu Xiu's hands, which is a joke. However, Liu Xiu's mind is on the barracks, which is a good thing. As for Kuaiqi Ma Liang and Pang Tong, how is the situation of the temptation?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "These three people are not easy to communicate with and are unwilling to cooperate with us." ”

Huo Yun's eyebrows showed a trace of solemnity, and said: "Kuai Qi is a member of the Kuai family, Ma Liang is a member of the Ma family in Yicheng, and Pang Tong is a member of the Pang family, these three people are really difficult to deal with." That's it, since I can't get in touch, I don't care about it for the time being, and I will talk about it when I have a chance later. ”

"No!"

The butler bowed his head and nodded in response.

......

County office, study.

Liu Xiu, Pang Tong Kuai Qi and Ma Liang, the guests and hosts were seated.

Liu Xiu's eyes were serious, and he said with a straight face: "Today, Tuntian has been going on for ten days, let's talk about the recent progress." ”

Pang Tong was the first to speak, and said unhurriedly: "On my side, everything is normal." After all, I was just assisting Ji Chang in handling things, and nothing big happened. ”

Ma Liang said: "The matter of Tuntian has entered the right track. After Gongzi killed Gou Hongyun, I caught a few more typical ones to punish, and everything was normal in Tuntian. ”

Kuai Qi said: "The distribution of food is also normal. ”

After a pause, Kuai Qi said: "Huo Yun sells farmland, and he first asks the people of the Huo family to buy it at a low price, and then he resells it. Because of this, he offended the major families in Youxian. ”

In this case, the three major families have been in contact with the major families in Youxian. Now, the Huo family has been isolated. ”

It's a pity that Huo Yun didn't issue a receipt. ”

Kuai Qi's eyes were sharp, and he said with a straight face: "If you want to take down Huo Yun, you must have enough evidence." Huo Yun, the old fox, didn't take the bait at all. ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Is it possible to plot against the people of the Huo family?"

Kuai Qi shook his head and said, "I have also considered the plan of rebellion. However, Gongzi and Huo Yunxu were wronged by the snake, and I was worried that the rebellion would startle the snake, so I didn't let the Feng shopkeeper Huang and Pang shopkeeper do it. ”

Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Since you can't find a way to rebel for the time being, you don't have to worry about Huo Yun's affairs, just let Huo Yun resell it." He resells the farmland to earn money from the major families in Youxian County, and he will continue to offend the major families. Invisibly, the Huo family has become the object of everyone's jealousy. It's good for us, too. ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "Soon it will be the agreed fifteen-day date, Huo Yun is about to take over the grain, and I believe that Zhu Biao of Tianlong Ridge is also about to be dispatched." The focus now is to cut off Zhu Biao first, get rid of Huo Yun's external forces, and then it will be much easier to deal with Huo Yun. ”

Pang Tong thought for a while and said, "We can't confirm now when Zhu Biao will do it." ”

Liu Xiu said: "After the plan is arranged, wait for him to enter the urn." During this time, keep an eye on Huo Yun at all times, and I believe that Huo Yun will definitely arrange the action. Shi Yuan, you take a break from the affairs of Tuntian, contact Deng Zhan, and prepare for the next battle. ”

"Understood!"

Pang Tong nodded, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Although Zhu Biao is not a famous general, for Pang Tong, this is the first battle, which has a different meaning.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go down and prepare!"

Everyone nodded and got up to leave.

Liu Xiu sat alone in the study, thinking carefully about the whole plan. The current situation is that Huo Yun has entered the urn, as long as he takes the Zhu Biao of Tianlong Ridge, everything will be fine. Without Zhu Biao, Huo Yun is just a fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.

"Huo Yun, Huo Yun, boiled frogs in warm water, you have already jumped in, it is difficult to come out. ”

Liu Xiu got up, took Deng Ai, and went to the barracks again.

The more he went to the back, the more Liu Xiu cared about the combat effectiveness of the army, which was the confidence of this battle
