The life of the owner of Mao Island has been very chic recently.

It's been eight years since he came to Phi Island, and he thinks he's doing a good job, and with his excellent running methods and that very braggart mouth, he has made Phi Island a paradise. For so many years, he often went deep into the hinterland of Jiannu and fought guerrillas without anything. By the way, some Liao people who fled because they could not bear the brutal rule of Jiannu were appeased, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 people on the island.

Although there are not many Houjin soldiers killed, they can be tactically modified. And the master of Mao Island has repeatedly made trouble, which has also made Jiannu a headache, and people may not come to defend it, and if you don't defend it, people will cause damage in your yard. He knows that he can't win against the Eight Banners, so he will attack your wife and children, and he will disgust you. The reason why the owner of Mao Island is so casual is entirely thanks to Nurhachi's policy towards the Han people.

Nurhachi forced the Han people of Liaodong to move and live in a centralized manner, although this was convenient for his rule. However, a large amount of fertile land in Liaodong was abandoned, and the Han people in Liaodong had no land to cultivate.

Agricultural production has been devastated, leading to annual famines and soaring food prices. As a result, more people who could not survive began to resist and flee. As if that were not enough, Nurhachi also ordered the killing of the unfed. He classified those who had grain or livestock at home as those who had grain, and those who did not have enough grain as those without food, and slaughtered all those who had no food.

Over the years, only a few hundred thousand of the millions of Han Chinese have been killed.

By the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the price of grain had soared to eight taels of silver per bucket.

As a result, the owners of Mao Island had a mass base for fighting guerrillas.

If the lord of Mao Island is a general who is good at fighting, it may not be appropriate. But if you want to talk about money, then he has a lot of means.

He's a good businessman. Phi Dao was strategically located as a necessary place for Northland maritime merchants to smuggle from Tenglai to Japan via Korea, and he was stuck here to ask for money. Most of the food eaten by the islanders also came from these maritime merchants in the north.

Occasionally, I went to the Jiannu territory to walk around, lied about my military exploits and asked the court for money. If you give it, you give it, and if you don't give it, you don't lose anything.

Even in order to get money, he deceived Huang Taiji into negotiating peace, and sent the envoy directly to the capital to ask for a reward.

It is said that if you go on like this, it is very likely that the owner of Mao Island will die well. But his old enemy appeared.

Yuan Dudu.

The loyalties and traitors of these two people have been arguing for hundreds of years, but they have not come up with a reason.

But it is a fact that Yuan Dudu should not have killed the owner of Mao Island, because it did not follow the procedure at all. A second-grade civil official killed a first-rank military general without the emperor's review? Why are you? No matter how low the status of a military general is, you can't do this, right?

At this time, the owner of Mao Island didn't know that a soul that had crossed over changed the trajectory of his life, and at this moment he was lying in the courtyard leisurely drinking tea. There are also two maids beside him, a fan and a massage.

"General, the DPRK is coming!" It was his adoptive grandson Kong Youde who spoke.

He knew about Jiannu leading his troops to fight North Korea, and he had always been very well informed. At this time, North Korea sent an envoy, and it must have been Xingshi to ask for guilt and blame him for why he did not send troops to help.

He saw the envoy of the DPRK with a little headache, and he didn't ask his name, but spoke directly.

"You're here for me?"

"A few days ago, Jiannu invaded our North Korea, even a few cities, plundered the army, and the casualties of our soldiers and civilians were not counted, can the general army know at this time?" The messenger's face was filled with grief and indignation.

"I don't know!"

Well???

The wording that the messenger had prepared was directly choked back!

I don't know? How could you not know!?

"The chief soldier laughed, the chief soldier has great powers, how could he not know about this?" The messenger forcibly organized his language.

"I really don't know, when did you fight? Where's the fight now? Did you get to Pyongyang? Do you need this general to send troops to help? Mao Wenlong stared at the envoy with an innocent face and asked enthusiastically.

"Jiannu has retired."

"I'll just say it. Your king is eloquent and strategic, and his fierce generals are like clouds, how can he not even beat a small Jiannu. Now that Jiannu has retired, what are you doing here with me? Deliver food? ”

It's okay not to mention the delivery of food, but the messenger can't bear it anymore.

"General Mao! Since your unit settled on Phi Island, I have been delivering grain to the island every year free of charge. But when it came to the time when our dynasty was in danger, General Mao not only sat idly by, but was still talking cool things here at the moment! Is this the work of a gentleman? ”

Mao Wenlong hasn't said anything yet, Kong Youde on the side can't bear it, what kind of thing are you, you dare to yell at my grandfather? Immediately he grabbed the messenger by the collar and was about to be beaten.

Mao Wenlong hurriedly stopped Kong Youde and said to the envoy with a pleasant face

"It's not that General Ben doesn't want to help, he really doesn't know about it at all! Now that it's happened, you see what I can do for you, just ask. ”

The messenger's face softened slightly, and he slowly said what he requested. Change food!

"Food? Earlier. How much to change? ”

"The more the merrier."

"Hahaha. Did the messenger come with something this time? ”

"If General Mao agrees, the lower officials will go back to prepare."

"Very good!"

Mao Wenlong is very happy, and he can make a fortune again. North Korea does send him hundreds of deniers of grain every year, but if he fights with Jiannu for that little bit of food, his brain is really in water.

After the envoy left, Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought.

In the two years after the new emperor ascended the throne, his life was still very leisurely. But I became more and more worried. Because he couldn't figure out His Majesty's thoughts, he didn't need to be urged for the annual military salary, but he never defaulted. Although he reported a lot, His Majesty was able to distribute it according to the actual amount. Is it really a coincidence? Otherwise, why would Your Majesty be indifferent when you know that I am fake?

Of course, Zhu Youzhen knew that he was cheating, and the reason why he was indifferent was because it was not time.

Although Mao Wenlong is not very clean, he is really much more useful than Yuan Chonghuan at this time.

"Hooray, the North Korean excerpt." Wang Chengen's respectful voice interrupted Zhu Youzhen, who was reading a book.

Zhu Youzhen took the fold, smiled after reading it and threw it aside.

The content is nothing more than how pitiful he is when he is beaten, and he needs the comfort of Daming's father, and it would be better if he supported him with some more money and food.

"Send 100,000 taels of silver to Li Liang." After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen commanded.

To be honest, he was a hundred unwilling, and he didn't have any affection for these kimchi-loving guys. But at the moment, Jiannu has not been eliminated, and multiple friends are better than enemies. Anyway, the last thing he lacks now is money.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it is the season of wheat harvest. There is no shortage of food.

A few years ago, he requisitioned King Fu's land, and his imperial village was nearly 5 million acres.

Wheat, corn, potatoes, all of the seed are planted.

I don't know who will rebel next?

I'm looking forward to it.

After dealing with government affairs for a while, Zhu Youzhen got up and came to Kunning Palace.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the palace, I heard the voice of the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan.

When I walked in, Zhang Yan and Zhou Yufeng were teasing Zhu Cihong together. After stopping the two from saluting, Zhu Youzhen sat down.

"Let me give me a hug." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hug Zhu Cihong in Zhang Yan's arms.

"Long live the big guys, don't scare the little prince." Zhang Yan hurriedly turned to the side and said something to stop him.

Zhu You withdrew his hand curtly and looked at Zhou Yufeng.

provoked Zhou Yufeng to cover her mouth and snicker.

"In two days, there will be no time to report to the little prince."

"How's that?"

"The imperial sister-in-law has already helped you choose a concubine!"
