16 The First Letter of Autumn

The spies knelt on the ground and cried, "Great Commander! You must avenge the Second Commander! ”

Black Twist paced back and forth, his eyebrows furrowed.

In a very short period of time, all the 100 spies of the Peony Tiger can be annihilated.

It must have bumped into the regular army of the Chu State!

Maybe it's still the elite of the Chu army!

Moreover, most of the Chu people laid the trap early with overwhelming superiority in troops - otherwise, how could they not run back alive?

It must be known that the Shaohu pirates have been entrenched in the vicinity of Quyang for many years and know every path in the mountains well.

Once, the Chu people also tried to use various tricks to encircle and suppress the Shaohu pirates, but each time the Shaohu pirates were able to escape with the help of their understanding of the terrain.

Besides, Shaohu can be regarded as a first-class brave and resourceful general, how can he not leave himself a way to escape?

Could it be that the State of Chu is going to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress my Shaohu thieves again?

Thinking of this, Hei Jiu couldn't help but secretly sneer: With the size of Shaohu Lake, the encirclement and suppression of Chu State is a joke!

This kind of encirclement and suppression has not been unheard of before.

However, if you want to search for the Shaohu pirates in the vast reeds, you don't have an army of 100,000, don't think about it!

It is impossible to dispatch such a large army for the sake of his own thousand remnants, right?

Unless the King of Chu is crazy!

Hei Jiu suddenly stopped and frowned: "Have you ever seen the corpses of Shaohu and the others?" ”

The thieves who reported the news said in unison: "Return to the Great Commander, there is no corpse, only blood stains on the ground!" ”

Hei Jiao furrowed his eyebrows, but he became apprehensive.

It would be nice if all the 100 people of Shaohu died.

In case there is a living mouth, the location of the Shaohu pirate's lair is confessed.

Isn't it a catastrophe?

At this moment, Hei Jiao is still hoping that Shaohu and the others can die cleanly - a hundred subordinates, if they die, they will die, although they have lost Shaohu, a general, but it is not a pain in the bones for the Shaohu pirates.

I'm afraid that there will be a living mouth! There are traitors!

Hei Xuan pondered for a moment, and said gloomily: "Don't be reckless! ”

"Send more sentinels - if there is any change in Quyang, you must report it quickly!"

"Call all the brethren back, and don't go out of the lake easily!"

The bandits were unwilling: "But the enemy of the two commanders ......"

Hei Jiao's eyes narrowed gloomily, and everyone immediately stopped talking, not daring to say more.

The methods of this great commander are well known...... The last one to raise an objection was still stuck in the tree...... No one wants to be the next to be the next to be the target.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already autumn.

The early autumn winds are not cool, and the scorching sun seems to be able to scorch the earth.

As far as the eye can see, the whole of Quyang County seems to have been covered with yellow beams - on the vast fields, the ears of rice are swaying in the wind, waving enticing layers of waves.

This year's ears of rice seem to be particularly large, and it is obvious to the naked eye that it will be an unprecedented good year.

All the peasants who worked in the fields seemed to have a smile on their facesβ€”in such a good year, the lord only collected tithes!

In the farm, children are playing; On the field, the watermill creaked and turned.

It's a peaceful scene.

It has been more than half a year since Xiong Wuliang came to the fiefdom.

In just one year, the cultivated area of Quyang County has nearly doubled!

Under the joint promotion of waterwheels, fertilization, new farm tools and farm production models, this year's Quyang County will usher in a bumper harvest!

Zhong Hua walked around the fields, seeing that the rice ears were huge, several times the size of previous years!

Old Zhonghua's face smiled like a monkey's ass.

Even by the most conservative calculations, this year's harvest will be more than three times that of previous years!

In terms of industry, it is a huge breakthrough from zero to one!

At present, there are more than 500 full-time skilled workers in Quyang County.

In addition, thousands of farmers are able to come to the factory to work part-time during the busy farming season!

At present, Quyang County already has a series of factories including processing plants, adobe factories, and textile factories!

In terms of business, Quyang County has also begun to prosper!

At present, the main commodities are arrows produced in processing factories and cloth produced in textile factories.

Although there are not many types of goods...... But these are in-demand goods, hard currency!

It is estimated that this year's agricultural tax will not be collected...... But with the smuggling and sale of these goods, the warehouse in the fiefdom is finally no longer empty when Xiong Wuliang first came to Quyang.

Now, even when the son of Mi Liang is lying in Xiaoyi's arms and enjoying a massage, he feels very confident!

There is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart!

"Childe, there is a letter for you." Xiao Yi dodged Xiong Wuliang's hand that roamed back and forth, and said with a flushed face.

Xiong Wuliang smiled with a thick old face, stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube, and pried open the mud seal.

Inside is a roll of parchment.

The son of Mi Liang fixed his eyes - the place where the payment was made was clear, and it was written by the prince Mi Heng.

"My brother,

Farewell to Yingdu, don't come unharmed? Brother wants to hunt in Quyang, and he will come unexpectedly. ”

There is only this short line of words, which is very in line with the straightforward temper of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Xiong Wuliang slapped his head and remembered.

At the beginning, he and the crown prince had an agreement to hunt together in the fiefdom after the autumn.

In the past half a year, the son of Mi Liang has been very busy, and he has long forgotten about this matter.

Now that I read this letter, I remembered that there was such a team building activity.

To be honest, this is a good thing for Xiong Wuliang - the prince is not so much here to hunt for fun, but to support himself.

It can be regarded as telling the entire Chu State plainly - don't mess with Quyang Jun Miliang, there is a prince behind him.

The feeling of having someone behind it...... That's nice!

But......

Xiao Yi probed her brain curiously on the side: "Is the prince going to hunt with the prince?" But...... Is there still prey in the fiefdom? ”

After Xiong Wuliang came to Quyang County, he vigorously encouraged farmers to reclaim land and open up fields.

At the beginning of the reclamation, wild beasts often attacked, and even caused death and injury to farmers, which made people panic.

When Gongzi Mi Liang learned about it, he waved his hand.

Zhong Hua took two hundred Quyang disciples, fully armed, armed with crossbows, and went back and forth in the fiefdom several times like a sieve.

The fierce beasts in the mountains faced the elite troops who were heavily armed and fighting in formation, and I was wrong to call out to my eldest brother.

During that time, every household had meat to eat.

The wild beasts in the mountains and forests are almost extinct.

Don't talk about the jackals, tigers and leopards that make the hunters blood rush the most...... Even rabbits are big enough to have big ones.

Xiaoyi was a little worried: "Childe, do you want to think of any way?" You can't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go home in disappointment, right? ”

Xiong Wuliang smiled.

"Don't panic, you have your own arrangements."

"There are no more beasts, but there are still prey." The son of Mi Liang seems to have made up his mind for a long time, and he looks confident.

Xiaoyi Bingxue was smart and reacted immediately.

"Childe, do you mean-"
