Chapter 391: A Good Greeting Gift
"Remember, from multiple directions, follow the prescribed route, and don't dig ......"
"Whichever team digs up the most stuff gets an extra reward."
In the early morning of the next day, a group of uninvited guests came to a mountain bag dozens of miles away from Yingzhou Mountain, and at least thousands of menacing figures were distributed everywhere. Armed with shovels, hoes and other equipment, the team began to dig. The shouts, laughter, and inquiries were as lively as the construction site.
Everyone is fully armed and well-equipped, who is not Chao Gai's pro-army? The reason why he led his team to this volcanic rock area early in the morning.
It was because of Gao Changxian yesterday that Zhao Yan's meeting gift was a few pieces of dog's head gold. The smallest one is as big as a fist, and the largest one is as big as a millstone. It is full of holes, shining gold, soft in texture, and extremely pure.
The most important thing is a few pieces of dog's head gold, which Zhao Yan inadvertently found in this area more than ten years ago. The first is to kick out a small piece, and then dig out a few pieces one after another, and he understands that there is a treasure underground after staying in the Great Song Dynasty for many years.
At that time, Tamna Island was invaded by the Goryeo Kingdom, and Zhao Yan wanted not to cause trouble. Hiding a few pieces of kobolds also buried this secret. It wasn't until the arrival of Chao Gai's army that he suddenly remembered it.
After consulting with the prince Gao Chang, he decided to use this news as a gift. They understood that the puppet was innocent and guilty, and that the Tamna people were too weak to protect this treasure, but instead caused death. It is better to be sheltered and no longer be enslaved by the Goryeo Kingdom. so that their people will no longer starve, and they will no longer be oppressed.
This is a group of people who deserve respect!
Chao Gai was moved, but the chicken thief was still the same, and he swore in the name of Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and launched a poisonous oath. Wholeheartedly helping the Tamna people to become rich and powerful, the sky thundered and the dynasty collapsed, and so on. Unaware of Zhao Yan, Gao Changxian was inexplicably moved and directly said the location.
No, Chao Gai is like a shark that smells blood!
Three thousand guards were on guard in the outer area, and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion were responsible for digging.
Facts have proved that Zhao Yan really did not lie, nor did he make a big fuss.
Exclamations such as "I dug it" and "what a big piece" came and went. The rapid excavation of the team performed its own duties, and it didn't take long for the harvest to be harvested.
Pieces of doghead gold, large or small, were dug up and piled up.
Chao Gai watched the golden hill get higher and higher, and his mood was so good that he burst out. Li Qingwan, Master Li, and Li Qingzhao opened their apricot eyes, and their faces were full of disbelief. Never encountered such a vein of gold that was dug up.
Chao Gai knows why this is the case, caused by a volcanic eruption. Although the volcano was a disaster more than 100 years ago, it also left a fortune.
There is no doubt that this wealth was obtained by him!
Although I don't know how many reserves there are, they are enough to recruit at this stage.
I really don't have to worry about money, and I have achieved financial freedom. How is Chao Gai unhappy? And the price he paid was only to help the Tamna people.
The beginning of mid-September was a historic day for the Tamna people. The contingent of the Celestial Empire transported large quantities of grain, and the materials were distributed one by one in the southeastern region, and doctors treated them, and craftsmen taught them to build houses, survey the terrain, and enclose land in suitable places......
What was talked about yesterday will be implemented today!
For this Gao Changxian, Zhao Yan and the two were very moved.
Chao Gai swore a poisonous oath, and Wen Huanzhang naturally had to cooperate and start to deal with the matter.
In addition, today is also a historic day for Chao Jiajun. In addition to those who continued to build the port, tens of thousands of young and able-bodied laborers were called up. A small part of the land was reclaimed, and the rest began to build the city in earnest.
Pu Wenying, the eunuch of the division, had already led the team to survey the terrain. Yesterday, we started with a solid foundation and built a majestic city with stones mixed with cement.
Gao Changxian, the son of Tamna, was a talented man, not only to learn in person, but also to mobilize his people to help build the city wall or reclaim the fields and sow seeds, or to help in the port, starting from the basics......
The captured Goryeo garrison also came to help!
Jin Yuanyong made up his mind to hug Chao Gai's thighs and performed remarkably. Not only did he come to a sensational speech, which made more than 300 subordinates honest. He also set an example by mining stone and led the team to devote himself to the great cause of building the city.
At this point, the whole of Jeju Island is busy!
The four major water village naval forces in the east, west, south and north have strengthened patrols and controlled more than ten miles of sea areas.
And the mixed sea dragon Li Jun, the short-lived Erlang Ruan Xiaowu, led the officers and soldiers of the navy to complete the rectification, and also set sail at noon on the same day and returned to Shuibo Liangshan.
Also on this day, a group of guests came to Shuibo Liangshan. To be precise, it was the envoy team of Tian Hu, the king of Hedong grass, who arrived.
The composition of the team is very complex, like a caravan. Among them, there are those who push wheelbarrows, there are carts of cattle and horses, there are also those who drive cattle and sheep, and there are even those who ride horses......
More than 300 people, mighty.
From the moment they stepped into Shandong, this team had nothing to hide, and they were under surveillance along the way. After inquiry, it was from Hedong, and the team was led by Fang Xuedu and Dong Cheng. After several military divisions of the Chao family army learned the news, they sent scouts to get in touch with them, and they also had a headache about whether to receive Shuibo Liangshan.
Fortunately, the other party had concerns and was reluctant to go to Liangshan.
That's empathetic! The Chao family army is used by Wu, and Xiao Jiasui's two military advisors are inconvenient. Zhu Wu sat in the cottage, and Xu Guanzhong was responsible for leading the team to greet him.
The meeting of the strongmen on the two hills has a lot of etiquette, and it is really like that!
"Hehe, Brother Xu, the king is eager for Mr. to vote, and he has visited and invited him many times. I never thought that the world was impermanent, but you threw yourself into Liangshan, unexpectedly. A scribe in his thirties, who was over thirty years old, looked at Xu Guanzhong, who was richly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, with a complicated smile on his face.
He is the number one military master under Tian Hu, Fang Xuedu, erudite and talented, strong in martial arts, and also a man who can write and martial arts. I have also heard the name of Xu Guanzhong, the martial champion of the imperial court and the master of the Daimyo Mansion, and he joined Tian Hu's camp by himself, most of which is related to the other party's repeated refusals, so he has mixed feelings.
Xu Guanzhong had long thought of his reaction to meet the other party, and he could also feel the hostility that was absent. didn't care, with a light smile on his face: "Hey, Brother Fang, it's not that the younger brother has wiped the king's face, but that the old mother is suffering from a stubborn illness." Looking for famous doctors everywhere, I heard that there is a divine doctor An Daoquan on Liangshan. After going up the mountain, the old mother needed to recuperate, so she was invited to Liangshan. ”
"Hehehe, very lucky." Fang Xuedu's pupils shrank, and he stopped talking and turned into a dry smile. A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, this person was really difficult.
The grass-headed king Tian Hu can become one of the four great cowards, and he is not an ordinary person. I have heard about the situation in Liangshan, and I have sent people to inquire about the sale of private salt. The confidant happened to find out that Xu Guanzhong, the daimyo's mansion, had voted for Liangshan. I have repeatedly visited each other and have not come, and it is inevitable that there will be resentment in my heart.
Fang Xuedu, as the number one military advisor, was instructed by his own king before he came. Even if you can't offend, you have to bring up the old things again and say a few sarcastic words. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Guanzhong's explanation came out, the draft he had brewed was invalidated.
Although there are many words, but they can't say it, shouldn't they save the old lady? As long as he dares to say it, he will definitely be ridiculed by the world after it spreads.
Fang Xuedu is also a resourceful person, and after laughing dryly, his face turned full of regret: "Hey, Brother Xu's filial piety is commendable, and the leader of the king of Guizhai is lucky." ”
There was a big black man beside him who was more than eight feet tall and majestic. He is Dong Cheng, the deputy leader of this trip, and he is also a fierce general under Tian Hu, who is quite respected. glared at Xu Guanzhong with tiger eyes, pouted again and again, and wanted to mock a few words, "Xu Gaoren has a good eye, Liangshan is half dead."
It's just that before the man's words came out, he heard Xu Guanzhong's answer, his face became a little embarrassed, and the mockery that was originally in his mouth was forced back.
Xu Guanzhong didn't see it if he saw it, and there was no need to explain that the leader of the king had already left. Instead, he waved his hand modestly and praised in reverse: "The younger brother is only a shallow learner, where can he compare to Brother Fang?" There is a great talent like Brother Fang to assist King Tianhu, and his command is like a cloud. Why be afraid of the fleeing general Liu Yanqing? After gaining a firm foothold, your ministry will definitely do something. ”
"Hahaha, Runaway General, Liu Yanqing? Well said! Dong Cheng was puffed up by this untraceable compliment, and heard the name of Liu Yanqing in the imperial court. It was he who ran away, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Fang Xuedu's eyes narrowed with a smile, as if he enjoyed this compliment. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Dong Cheng, who was traveling with him, and scolded in his heart for being a fool and a reckless man. His face did not show it at all, and after a few polite words, he changed the topic: "Brother Xu, our intention Liangshan should be clear, the war in Hedong is unstable, let's go to see the goods first, and then talk in detail." ”
"Okay, according to what Brother Fang said, please come with my little brother." Xu Guanzhong's posture was very low, and he led the team to the restaurant north of Shuibo.
Today's Beishan Hotel is much larger than in the past, and it is not a problem to accommodate more than 300 people. The most important thing is that there are more than 100 families behind the village store, and a large area of land around it has been reclaimed and planted with vegetables. There are herds of cattle and sheep, and dogs bark, as if it has become a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The rest of the Hedong team was fine, Fang Xuedu looked around with a pair of bright eyes. Not only was he praised for the easy and difficult terrain, but he was also shocked by the people who were casual or greeting.
This smart man immediately thought of this village store, which is estimated to be the stronghold of Liangshan. Those so-called villagers are all people from Liangshan!
Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Gui in the crowd observed the actions of these people either openly or secretly, and the others were fine, but Fang Xuedu was extremely shrewd and was an old fox. In addition, it is clear that these people brought no less than a million pieces of gold and silver.
No wonder I didn't dare to go to Liangshan, it turned out that I was afraid of the black eating black in the green forest.
Li Xiaoer, who is sitting in the Beishan Hotel, is already quite sophisticated, directing the guys to entertain guests, lead horses to take care of them, kill pigs and sheep, and arrange wine banquets.
Desperate Saburo Shixiu and Dryland Hulu Zhu Gui were in contact with these people. Their task is to identify the right people and develop them into dark lines.
Xu Guanzhong didn't care about these trivial matters, and directly took Fang Xuedu, Dong Cheng and a few other gentlemen, all the way around the village, through the village to the lake.
It was located in the middle of nowhere, with a simple dock and a few large ships moored, and there was no one around except for a few sailors on board.
Although several ships are large ships of the thousand-material class, they can only sail in the rivers and lakes because they have no sealed cabins, and at most they haunt the coastal sea and cannot sail far.
And it's perfect for transporting sea salt!
