It really doesn't matter—Lu Wei said in his heart.

Great Xia implemented a monopoly on salt and iron, controlling salt in order to make money, and controlling iron in fear that the people would have weapons to rebel. Just like he wanted to find a blacksmith to make a new iron stove, the blacksmith had to apply to the government for pig iron, and he had to explain in detail to the government the purpose, shape, and size of the ironware.

There are very few iron products in ordinary people's homes, who has a big iron pot, they are heirlooms that can be passed on to their descendants, and the Hu people are even more lacking in iron, they not only lack iron, but even the craftsmen who can smelt iron are pitiful.

If it is really like what Zhang Yuqing said, she has a way to refine fine iron, the weapons of the Baochuan army can defeat the Hu people, and if the Hu people attack again, they will have the advantage of cavalry, so what!

He has excellent soldiers who have trained the soul of a hot-blooded soldier, has strong weapons, and is afraid of Hu people! If he and Zhang Yuqing continue to operate in Baochuan for a long time, in a few years, there will be enough grain and grass, and they will be strong, and even recovering the Lu'er Pass that was ceded to the Hu people will no longer be a dream!

Lu Wei breathed shortly, if he didn't want the wealth and opportunities sent to the door, then God would give them to others!

When the time comes, they will be the ones who will be beaten passively.

"I'm going to write to my mother and ask her to secretly find a skilled blacksmith and send it here." Lu Wei said.

Zhang Yuqing was slightly surprised in her heart, the county lord of Duanshu was hiding in the nunnery, the mountain gate was closed, he didn't ask about the world, and he looked like he was decoupled from the ordinary, but the first thing that Lu Wei needed to think of was not his father Lu Dewen, who was an official in the court, but the Duanshu county lord who was empty of the four majors.

It can be seen that the four major Duanshu county lords are all empty on the surface, but in fact, they secretly have their own forces and people.

"Mining manpower can recruit people nearby and pay them enough." Zhang Yuqing said.

Lu Wei nodded in agreement, "That's what I mean, if you want, you will be fully responsible." ”

Late at night, the charcoal of the stove gradually went out, Zhang Yuqing felt a burst of coolness, looked at the comfortable sky, and said, "It's almost winter...... I heard from the locals who took us into the mountains that every year the Hu people would plunder at this time. ”

The first is that at this time, Baochuan has experienced the autumn harvest, and the people have grain in stock, and the second is that it will soon enter winter, and the climate on the grassland is even worse than that of the summer, and the Hu people want to take the opportunity to grab the winter rations.

"With the Great Wall of Water, the lives of the people should be much better this year." Lu Wei said.

Zhang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she said in a happy tone: "I saw it on the way back!" The people all said that they were down-to-earth this year! ”

Lu Wei also laughed, and said sincerely: "It's all your credit, I want to thank you on behalf of the people!" ”

Zhang Yuqing held her cheeks in her hands, took a branch and stirred the charcoal, and said with a smile: "I am not only for the peace of Baochuan, but also for myself." ”

Lu Wei said sincerely: "I'm afraid you're working too hard. ”

In the dead of night, full of tea and food, and the two separated for a long time, Zhang Yuqing was not as wary of Lu Wei as before, she said: "I used to think that I was very useless, just like a waste, at the mercy of others, I couldn't do anything." ”

Lu Wei suddenly felt distressed, and thought of the poem that Zhang Yuqing hid on the room case, wanting to fly without wings, and wanting to cross without a boat.

Zhang Yuqing's parents died when she was a child, and she was exiled, and the Wang couple who adopted her were not good people, and it was not easy for her to grow up, and she even put down her self-esteem in order to return to the Zhang family.

But when he returned to Zhang's house, he didn't get the love of his relatives. The Zhang family was reluctant to admit her at first, and kept saying that she was not a girl from the Zhang family, but just looked alike, and later Zhang Yuying changed their faces in order to marry the prince, and insisted that Zhang Yuqing was the eldest girl of the Zhang family who was married to him.

If it weren't for that, Zhang Yuqing would have married Wu Jun by now and was in harmony with Qin Se, the son of the Luo family.

She is such a smart girl, she will definitely be able to live a good life with Luo Gongzi.

Thinking of this, Lu Wei felt very uncomfortable.

He couldn't recall anything related to Rodin Young, or his heart would have been soaked in sour water.

"I was bad at the beginning, and I doubted you." Lu Wei said in a low voice.

Zhang Yuqing laughed, waved his hand, and looked relaxed, "You didn't know me at that time!" ”

Lu Wei laughed, he knows Zhang Yuqing now, and he also understands Zhang Yuqing, this is a very good girl, fortunately, it is not too late.

"I feel really good now." Zhang Yuqing said seriously, "I should thank you." ”

Even if she and Lu Wei were married, she is also Lu Wei's nominal wife, not all men are willing to let their wives show their heads, and not all men are willing to hand over financial power to their wives.

If Lu Wei was a wary of her, even if she made salt and smelted iron, Lu Wei could immediately send someone to take over these properties and lock her up in the backyard.

Thinking of this, a warm current flowed through Zhang Yuqing's heart, as if Lu Wei was a big tree behind her, no matter what she did, he could give her shelter from the wind and rain as a backing.

She decided to be nicer to Lu Wei - before Lu Wei and Zhang Yuying hooked up again.

You can't punish him for the crimes he commits in the future.

A few days later, Zhang Yuqing woke up from freezing at night, trembling with a lampstand, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find a bed quilt to add, and when he got up the next morning, he found that there was frost on the ground.

Lu Wei has disappeared.

The guards who stayed in the Dusi Mansion reported to Zhang Yuqing that the scouts in the military camp had discovered that the Hu people had assembled an army and marched towards Baochuan.

Wang Chunniang's face turned white, "Didn't you say that if we pay tribute to the Hu people, they won't fight Daxia?" ”

"Before, it wasn't every day that they broke in and looted and slaughtered the people!" Zhang Yuqing shook her head, she estimated that it was the Great Wall of Water that blocked the robbery of the Hu people and made the Hu people dissatisfied, so she had to lead the army to the city, even if she didn't fight, she had to deter and intimidate Daxia.

Zhang Yuqing comforted Wang Chunniang, "Don't panic, there should be no big deal." ”

If it is really a big army pressing the border, it is very likely that Baochuan will be lost, and Lu Wei should evacuate the people first.

Now the city is still quiet, which means that the situation is not too bad.

However, intellectually thinking so, Zhang Yuqing was still a little panicked in his heart, and when it was almost noon, he heard the guard who went to inquire about the news come back and reported, "It is Duo Mu Yi, the first general under the Hu prince Wu Ke, who leads the troops!" ”

After hearing this, the clerk trembled, his face was colorless, and his beard was shaking, "How is this good!" It's over, it's over! ”

"Do you recognize this general?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The clerk was about to cry, "This person is one of the most famous generals in Hu, our Great Xia has fought against him many times, and we haven't won once!" There are rumors that many will fail! ”

In the past, the officers who had experienced a hundred battles in Great Xia were all beaten by many trees, not to mention Lu Wei, who came out of the rich nest of the capital and had no experience in leading troops!

It's impossible to win!

Zhang Yuqing looked at him frustrated, and said coldly: "If you say that you will lose if you say more, I will ask someone to throw you to that Duomuyi!" Eat the grain of Great Xia, don't extinguish the ambition of Great Xia! ”

The clerk immediately stopped talking, his expression was still unconvinced, and he felt that Zhang Yuqing's little girl's family understood the cruelty of war, and where did they know the power of the Hu people.

Who wouldn't be a fool!

"Where is Lord Lu now?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The guard said, "At the city gate." ”

Zhang Yuqing immediately ordered the guards to drive, she changed into an inconspicuous gray cloth dress, and went to the city gate.

Lu Wei was standing on the city tower watching the enemy's situation.

Hu Ren also knew that there was a new capital division in Baochuan, whose status was quite noble, the son of the county lord, and the rich and noble son who grew up in the capital. Duo Mu Yi did not bring many soldiers this time, only 10,000, his purpose was mainly to scare Lu Wei and make Lu Wei kneel to the Hu people from now on.

Winter is about to begin, and the Hu people have no plans to invade Great Xia at this moment. Duo Mu Yi is in his early forties, with a scar running through his forehead between his eyebrows, he has experienced a hundred battles, is experienced, and ruthless enough, which is a sharp weapon against Lu Wei.

Lu Wei's face sank like water, watching Duomu Yi riding triumphantly on his horse, arrogantly and provocatively making an insulting gesture towards the Baochuan City Gate.

"Just these people?" Lu Wei asked coldly.

The adjutant next to him said: "There are indeed only these, the scouts have explored for hundreds of miles, and there is no trace of the activities of the Hu army." ”

Lu Wei laughed, his smile was cold, he was flattened by Hu Ren!

The Hu people wanted to beat him to his knees with only 10,000 people.

At this moment, when the tension was raging, Hu Ren first sent a herald over, ran to the city gate, and shouted in the not very proficient Daxia dialect.

Lu Wei understood that the Hu people were very angry that they had dug the Great Wall of Water, which caused the Hu people to not be able to enter Great Xia for this period of time to plunder.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents.

Great Xia and the grassland signed a peace agreement in the early years, and the two sides are brotherly countries, Lu Wei, your little Dusi, dug the Great Wall as soon as he came, which was clearly disrespectful to the brother country of the grassland and violated the agreement.

Hu Ren meant to let Lu Wei fill in the ditches and pits that had been broken through within five days and restore them to their previous state, otherwise they would break through the city gates, kill all the Baochuan men, and snatch all the Baochuan women back to the grassland......

Lu Wei listened to the Hu people's clamor expressionlessly.

Zhang Yuqing was walking up the city tower when she heard Hu Ren's rough and straightforward words, and she almost stumbled.

"Why are you here?" Lu Wei saw Zhang Yuqing unexpectedly.

Zhang Yuqing said: "Don't worry, come and take a look." ”

Lu Wei raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid I'm useless, you will be snatched to the grassland by that group of barbarian Hu people?" ”

Zhang Yuqing raised his chin and squinted at Lu Wei, "I'm smart and beautiful, I went to the grassland, and Emperor Hu Ren can't make me a concubine?" ”

Lu Wei's wheat-colored face that was sunburned by the northwest sun was still stubble, and he still did not lose his handsome nature, he reached out and pinched Zhang Yuqing's face, and laughed, "That's really a pity, you can only be my daughter-in-law in this life, and you have no chance to be Huren's concubine!" ”

Zhang Yuqing covered her face and glared angrily.

Kick your nose in the face, ah, this is! Is she too good to Lu Wei and dares to attack her?

"Sons!" Lu Wei put on a steel helmet, and shouted like thunder, "Follow me into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

Sweetheart Theatre:

Lu Wei: I already have a skin-to-skin relationship with Zhang Yuqing.
