The cold wind swept through the large clouds of snowflakes.

In the ravines of the dirt road, the blood that flowed congealed into a ruby color, and then covered in snow.

Wooden wheels passed over it, making deep marks, occasionally running over a bruised hand or two.

The carloads of gold and silver goods carried by those families who fled from the wharf were removed from the wharf and sent back to the treasury.

It hasn't been cleaned up for two whole days.

Zhao Yun sat in the hall of Linyu County in a regular suit, and was the first batch of military affairs to resume official documents.

There was only one brazier in the room, which was placed next to the desk.

The sound of Lulu's footsteps came, and Xia Houlan rubbed her hands and walked in, her face full of joy: "I didn't expect that these families in Linyu are so rich." ”

The sight of the goods brought into the treasury and sparkling in the snow is really delightful.

Zhao Yun stopped his pen and handed him the marching kettle on the desk, the water was still hot.

"These families exploited excessively, and drove the people of the city as livestock without giving them a chance to live, and they were naturally rich."

Thinking of some ridiculous things he saw in the county government files and the Jiang family's account books, Zhao Yun's face sank.

Xia Houlan took the kettle and held it in her palm to warm her hands, and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this: "I can make you so angry, these people really deserve to die." ”

Zhao Yun pushed the brazier to Xiahoulan's side: "The dock, as well as those craftsmen and sailors, also ask the son to repair and settle the students, so take a lot of trouble." ”

"Got it, got it." Xia Houlan waved her hand and quipped: "Who doesn't know that Yan Niangzi is the rarest craftsman?" ”

It was not the first time that he had been ridiculed, and Zhao Yun, who was a little immune, pursed his lips and let him go.

Xia Houlan, who found that her hair was small and her skin had thickened, was a little boring: "I found a few good pearls in those things, big and round, and I will send them to you later." ”

After speaking, he squeezed his eyes: "Give it away." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head: "No need, Ah Yan won't like it." ”

As he spoke, he handed a bamboo slip to Xiahou Lan.

Xia Houlan looked at it inexplicably, and the smile on her face gradually condensed.

After a long time, he closed the bamboo slip in his hand and sneered: "It's better to let them die easily, otherwise they should also taste the suffering of these pearl fishermen." ”

"It's ridiculous that the pearl people have collected pearls for nine out of ten lives, and helped these people get a lot of wealth, but they are still unreliable untouchables, why are these people on the top?"

Pearls require pearl people to tie a rope, dive into the deep sea with bated breath, pry the pearl oyster from the submarine reef, and then follow the rope to bring the pearl oyster back to the surface.

In this way, a simple process can lead to extremely complex situations.

Or the aquatic plants that are wrapped around the rope, or the torrents, the cold suffocation...... Maybe it's a fish that swallows boats on the bottom of the sea.

Seeing wisps of blood floating up on the surface of the sea, most of them were just an empty rope or half of the wreckage.

Even in the cold winter, he was forced by the Jiang family to go into the sea to take pearls, and countless people froze to death and drowned.

In Jiang's account book, only the three untouchables were recorded to get a pearl.

It's as if these people are just objects that are worn out at will.

Pity those pearl people, who risked their lives to get pearls to deduct taxes, but also could not exchange for rice to feed their families, and often died of cold and starvation.

Xia Houlan gritted her teeth.

I have to say that the education promoted by Gongsun Yan is very effective.

He now thinks about things he didn't think about before.

After being angry for a while, he suddenly sighed: "I have also become a good person." ”

Zhao Yun smiled and reached out to wrap his arms around his shoulder.

"That's it! I'll go back to the docks. Xiahou Lan stood up, paused, and asked, "Those pearl people?" ”

Zhao Yun brought a piece of paper from the side: "There is Lao Zixiu!" ”

Above is an order ordering the pearl people to suspend winter pearl diving, treat them as residents of Linyu, and distribute relief rice grain.

"Waiting for me right here?"

Xia Houlan raised her eyebrows slightly, tilted her neck and drank the hot water in the kettle: "Don't worry about you, who calls us brothers!" ”

With that, he walked out, but at a much faster pace than he had come.

Growing up with him since childhood, he knows best what kind of temperament he is, Zhao Yun looked at his back and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

In Linyu City, the overall situation has basically been decided.

The remnants of the families in the city shrank and trembled, but the people were very pragmatic and quickly changed their positions after a large sum of rice and grain was dropped.

It snowed heavily for another day, and the sky finally cleared.

After the army entered the city, Zhao Yun was very clear about Gongsun Yan's dedication and importance to Linyu.

He cautiously took advantage of the war, and used his sword to sweep away all the unstable factors in the city during the garrison of the city.

When the corpses in the city are collected, the ban is lifted.

When the people walked out of the gate, they were surprised to find that order had been restored in the city, but many of the families in the city that had been entrenched for a hundred years no longer existed.

Liu Hui took a large number of rookie officials who were crammed out of the branch city and set foot on the road to Linyu.

Compared with the Battle of Linyu, which ended quickly for craftsmen and sailors, Zhang He and Zhang Fei on the Yangle battlefield were unhurried.

Rather than getting Yangle City, Gongsun Yan hoped that the two of them would use Yangle as a place to train their soldiers.

Run in with your subordinates and experiment with new tactics and siege equipment.

Add more reliable siege cases to the martial arts.

Gongsun Yan had already handed over the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" to Zhao Yun.

Among them, the text related to firearms and some historical references was forcibly deleted by the system.

There are more than 60 kinds of equipment in the remaining instrument diagram, and the record is comprehensive, and the whole book can be said to be the culmination of the siege war of cold weapons.

As one of the confidential materials that only Tian Kai and a few people in the lecture hall are qualified to consult.

After Gongsun Yan received Zhang He's loyalty email, he opened up his permission and copied a copy of the messenger to send it.

When Zhang He got it in his hand, he was shocked.

It's like getting a new toy, and soaking in the army craftsman camp day and night, supervising the making of equipment.

began the ultimate torture of the Yang Le guards.

On the walls of Yangle.

A young general stood at the head of the city, his otherwise handsome face covered in blood and mud.

He hadn't been down the wall for days.

He was also a personable young man who made the girls in Yangle City look sideways.

Now his eyes are straight, and he is embarrassed, no different from a homeless beggar.

Previously, he was full of self-confidence, and according to the inheritance of his family's soldiers, he deployed defenses in the city.

But he never expected that the enemy would be so old and spicy and not martial arts.

Yangle City is full of gaps smashed by boulders, and next to it is a large cauldron of overturned boiling gold juice.

The gold juice specially collected was originally prepared for the siege ants to attach to the enemy army, but who expected that the enemy did not talk about martial virtues, and pushed a strange-shaped catapult, which was a wild bombardment.

Stones were thrown and wood was thrown, and even all kinds of humiliating dirt.

The sergeant who was unfortunately stoned to death on the city wall, the blood entrails and the overturned gold juice filth, even in winter, the smell is still unforgettable.

The young guard, looking at the enemy's continuous military camp outside the city, didn't even have the strength to sigh for a while.
