When the messenger from Hedong County rushed into the city, the news of Jingxing's defeat and death spread throughout the capital like a hurricane.

The second prince was furious, and after the anger was frightened, now the main force of the Yongjun army is still in the northwest and Qinling Mountains to fight against Xiliang and Bashu, looking at the east of the river, there is almost no army to counter the rebellion.

The consequences of Jingxing's defeat dealt an even greater blow to the morale of the Yongjun army, after all, it was Jingxing, who had fought against the six *** teams and was "full of prestige".

The state army won a great victory in Yuan County, and the troops approached Dun County, and the whole Xuan seemed to have returned to the twenty-second year of the Dayong Emperor Qin Heng.

The three princes each led their own forces to fight each other in and around the city, but they were not as threatening to the city as the state army at the moment. The report sent by the Yongjun scouts showed that the Yuan County was on fire, and the city was destroyed.

The Yongjun who fled back to Anyi from Yuan County only had Mengsu, Liancheng and more than a dozen knights of the Yongjun.

In addition, more than 13,000 Yongjun, including Jingxing, were left in Yuanxian forever by the Bingzhou army, which was an unprecedented defeat before the Yushan Imperial Court.

Soon after the news reached the Imperial City, an edict was issued from the Imperial City.

The patriarch of the Huangfu family, who was idle at home, Huangfu Boming was ordered by the second prince to reinstate and serve as a general, with full responsibility for the garrison and military affairs of Yongzhou.

The whole city was under martial law, the forbidden army in the city was mobilized, and the guards stationed in the imperial city were directly doubled.

There are more and more patrolling guards in the streets and alleys, and the entire city is covered with a layer of haze.

The order to requisition the army spread from the hands of a herald who galloped out of the city.

The news of the attack of the state army made all the sergeants in the entire Guanzhong state gather towards Xuxi.

And just when the whole Guanzhong area was rumored and the army was being reorganized for war, the Bingzhou army that they feared was galloping at full speed in Hedong County, rushing straight to the various ferries of the big river, and when they took the ferry, the Bingzhou army was like a greedy snake, turning back and biting the cities of Hedong County.

Wang Rong did not stay in Hedong County for long, but officially issued a series of appointments.

Wang Rong sat in the Jingcheng Pass Guarding General's Mansion, with a military general sitting on the left side, and Huangfujian and several scribes sitting on the right.

Wang Rong looked at the people in the hall and said, "Now that the biggest enemy in Hedong County has been completely eliminated, all that remains is to clean up the powerful families in Hedong County......

Yuan Tiangang didn't wait for Wang Rong to finish speaking, so he quickly got up and asked for an order: "Master Hou, let me go with a sledgehammer, I will definitely hammer these Hedong shrimp soldiers and crabs to death."

Wang Rong saw the smug Yuan Tiangang, his whole face was not good, and before he could reprimand, he saw Wuluo also stand up and salute: "Please give an order from the Hou Ye, I am willing to make a military order!" Sweep away these debris in Hedong County within a month!"

When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said, "I am also willing to make a military order with a sledgehammer!" Half a month, just half a month......"

When Uluo heard this, he said directly, "I only need a week!"

Wang Rong didn't wait for Yuan Tiangang to say another three or five days, he slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Shut up!"

Huang Fujian saw the performance of the two living treasures, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I only heard Wang Rong then scolded: "Two honest critics who don't know the height of the sky, the two of you won this battle, and the whole person is floating, right, I think I am a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and when the heroes and strongmen of Hedong County are all muddy." Sit back for me! Mr. Huangfu, read out the appointment."

Yuan Tiangang and Wu Luo were scolded, so they could only lower their heads and sit back in their seats like two aggrieved children.

Huang Fujian stood up, coughed lightly twice, then spread out the scroll and read in a straight voice: "Appoint Wang Bo as the lieutenant of Hedong County and the commander of the Eighth Division. Appointed Chu Kun as the county guard of Hedong County."

When Wang Bo heard his appointment, his face was surprised, he looked at Wang Rong and said, "Zhong Ming, why did you appoint me as the county lieutenant, no, no, this is absolutely not good."

Wang Rong looked at his brother who refused with a face, and said helplessly: "Hedong County has an important status and a special location

I can be stationed, brother, please."

After Wang Rong finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Wang Bo. Wang Bo listened to Wang Rong's words and had to accept the appointment.

Wang Rong then looked at the people in the hall and said, "The First Division and the Third Division will temporarily stay in Hedong County to help the Eighth Division eliminate the Haoqiang in Hedong County. Men are killed on the spot, and women are centrally managed. You have to control your lower body, and if you let me know that I have violated military law, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Wang Rong had already thought about the disposal of female prisoners, and there were many soldiers in the state army who were still bachelors, and these female prisoners were a good solution.

Everyone in the hall listened to Wang Rong's words, and they all felt a pang in their hearts, they knew that Wang Rong was not just talking, and the military law of the state army inherited from the Zi Lu army, and insulting women not only had to accept serious punishments, but also reported to the whole army, which was simply a shrimp pig heart.

Wang Rong looked at the people in the hall, waved his hand, and said like a fly, "The arrangement is over, what should I do!"

As soon as Yuan Tiangang and Wu Luo heard Wang Rong's words, they took the lead in getting up and ran out as if there was a dog behind them. Wang Bo stayed, he looked at Wang Rong and Huang Fujian, and said, "Zhong Ming, you let me set up the Eighth Division, where did I come from?"

Wang Rong said with a smile, "I asked the First Division and the Third Division to assist you in clearing the Haoqiang of Hedong County, just for the sake of the Eighth Division. You see, these powerful men have many servants, and these servants put down their swords, that is, the peasants who serve the land, the merchants who run the shops, and so on. And when they pick up their swords, they are powerful private soldiers. Now these privateers have been gathered and ready to fight us."

Wang Bo listened to Wang Rong's words, the expression on his face was like eating Coptis chinensis, and he said with a dissatisfied face: "Just those heroic private soldiers? These scum are not even as good as ordinary peasants, and you still want me to adopt them? Zhong Ming, you ......."

Wang Rong still smiled and said, "Brother, the military law of my and the state army is not an ornament, and the soldiers of the eighth division of the state army will be punished accordingly if they violate the military law during the training process."

Wang Bo breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, that's all there is to it."

After sending Wang Bo away, Wang Rong looked at Huang Fu Jian and said, "Mr. Huang Fu, shouldn't we also go back to Zhanghua City?"

Huang Fujian said with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, it's really time to go back, after the battle in Hedong County, we can plan for development with peace of mind."

Wang Rong breathed a long sigh of relief, and he sighed: "If the state is not safe to develop, we can't afford to raise these hundreds of thousands of troops."

Huang Fujian said with a smile: "Master Hou, there will always be a way, I have a lot of minerals and abundant products in my state, and it is not a barren land. If it is properly managed, it will not be a problem to feed an army of 200,000 people with just one state."

Wang Rong waved his hand and said, "Sir, there is no need to say more, let's wait until we go back to Zhanghua City."

In this way, Wang Rong returned to the city with the righteous servants, the wolf riders, the trap and the first climb.

Chu Kun took the civil and military officials who stayed in the city out of the city to greet him, which was the first battle after the independence of the state, and the importance of this battle is undoubted.

The three Dayong courts of Guanzhong, Bashu, and Liangzhou, the six countries of the Central Plains, and the barbarians around them were all concerned about this war. The victory in this battle made these ill-intentioned enemies stop a lot in an instant.

When Wang Bian sat in the study of the Hou Mansion, Chu Kun and Huang Fujian also sat on the chairs.

Wang Bian first looked at Chu Kun and said in a sincere tone, "These days, Mr. Chu has worked hard."

Chu Kun stood up, bowed and saluted, "Master Hou is polite, this is all a matter of humble duty."

Wang Wei waved his hand, motioned for Chu Kun to sit down, then looked at him and said, "Mr. Chu, this time you went to Hedong County to serve as the county guard, the first thing you did was to dispose of the Haoqiang of Hedong County, and then salt and iron."

Haoqiang in Hedong County has already been talked about before, and here we mainly talk about salt and iron.

Hedong County has been famous for its salt production since ancient times, and the most important salt producing area is Jiechi.

There is a history of unpooling

Thrilling legends. "Confucius Three Dynasties" recorded: "The Yellow Emperor killed Chi You in Zhongji, Chi You has a different head on the body, and its blood turns into brine, then the salt pond of the solution, because of its autopsy, so it is named the place of the solution."

"Mengxi Writings" recorded: "Jiezhou Yanze, twenty miles. The long rain, the water of the four mountains, all in it, did not overflow; The drought has not yet dried up. The halogen color is red, and under the version of the spring, it is commonly known as the blood."

According to legend, in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor once fought against Emperor Yan in Hanquan, and defeated Zhuolu. After years of war, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang have shaken hands and made peace.

And Chi You was not reconciled, he relied on his superhuman powers, as well as eighty-one strange, brave, and fierce brothers who ate sand and stones, as well as the heroic and warlike Jiuli people, to fight against Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi.

As soon as the two sides started the war, it was extremely tragic, the horses neighed, the tigers roared, and the bears howled, and the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark. After a difficult war, the Yellow Emperor finally defeated Chi You and captured him alive.

After Chiyou was captured alive, he still struggled desperately, angrily screaming for revenge. The Yellow Emperor was unwilling to forgive him, and was afraid that he would escape, so he did not dare to remove the shackles from his hands and feet, so he killed him in Zhuolu.

Later, there was a record in ancient books that Chi You's body was in a different place, and his blood was the salt of "Nature". Because of the autopsy of Chiyou, the local name was changed to Jie, and the brine pond was called Jiechi, and then it became Xie County and Xie Zhou.

The development of Xie Chi originated from the legendary Tang Dynasty, that is, the Yao Shun era or earlier. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the salt solution was already very famous, and later it was exported to Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places.

Salt solution is made of water brine by exposure to sunlight, with white color and positive taste, and few impurities, so that "out of Qinlong in the west, Fan Deng in the south, Yan Dynasty in the North Pole, and Zhou and Song Dynasty in the east", it has become an important source of national taxation and is known as "the great treasure of the country".

Not to mention iron, since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been officials of mountains and seas, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the handicraft industry was managed by the "Yu" officials, and the Qi State already had iron officials. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, iron officials were set up in Shaofu, and later the institutions for managing iron smelting were expanded, and the organization of officials was also systematized.

However, there are often changes in the establishment, dismissal, and subordination of iron officials. There are more than 50 iron officials in local counties, counties, and marquis, and large iron officials are set up in iron-producing counties to manage iron smelting, casting, and trade. Counties that do not produce iron have small iron officials to manage iron casting and trade.

The appointment of the iron officer was the responsibility of the chief priest or the county keeper. Officials are set up in the government-run workshops to manage production. In the later period of the Qin Dynasty, officials were set up to lead salt and iron affairs, specializing in salt and iron, and prohibiting private ownership. In Hongnong, Hedong, Hanoi, Nanyang, Shu, Liaodong and other counties, even Jingzhao and other counties, a total of 40 counties, all of which are subordinate to Danong. The main casting ironware, where iron is not produced, is also placed in a small iron official, under the county and county.

There are many mountains in Hedong County, not only iron, but also gold, silver and copper, and the most important thing is iron.

Chu Kun looked at Wang Wei and Huang Fujian, and said with a firm expression, "Xia Guan will definitely live up to the expectations of Master Hou and Mr."
