【Daimyo's Mansion】

When he learned that the Jin State actually sent the prince Wanyan Zongyi to come to the canonization, he actually ordered the officials to go out of the city to greet them with the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and let the officials kneel on both sides of the road outside the city gate.

Wanyan Zongyi rode a high-headed horse straight to the mansion, took out the edict of the canonization of the Jin State, and Liu Yu led the ministers to kneel and listen to the canonization.

“…… Syr feuded and was ...... from Chu Shixiu Zili, Yonggong pious ......"

After the edict was read out and the enthronement ceremony was held, Liu Yu fulfilled the emperor's dream, established the country with the name of Daqi, set the capital of Daming, and assured the Jin people that "a certain generation of cultivation of the son ceremony", which means that for generations, the emperor of the Dajin State is the father and the emperor of the Chu State is the son.

After appointing Liu Yu as emperor, Wanyan Zongyi did not stay in the Daimyo Mansion for long, and after disguising himself as a businessman with several officials and a dozen subordinates, he took a cart of ginseng to Kaifeng.

At the end of July, when the corn is growing on the cob, the fields on both sides of the official road are green and lush, and the nearly two-meter-high corn is spread all over the field.

After Wanyan Zongyi, who was riding a tall horse, saw this scene, he turned his head to Han Fang, the governor who was traveling with him to the Daimyo's Mansion, and asked, "Lord Han, do you know what this is?" ”

Han Fang's wrinkled face showed a proud smile, "This thing has a lot of origins, it is said that the production capacity of this thing per mu is eight to nine stones, it can be boiled and roasted when it is tender, and it can be made into porridge after it is ripe and ground into noodles, which is extremely delicious." When the old man was in Yanjing, he was fortunate to receive a catty from a friend and ate it for more than a month. ”

Han Fang's words aroused Yan Zongyi's appetite, "Is it possible to eat this corn now?" ”

When Han Fang heard this, he pulled the reins to stop the horses, came to a cornfield, and found a big buckle on the cob, revealing the tender yellow corn kernels inside.

"Your Highness, now is the right time for steaming or barbecuing!"

"Okay, go get some, let's find an open space and have a full meal first."

After Yan Zongyi gave an order, except for Han Fang, everyone else was busy, picking up firewood and breaking corn.

Dozens of corn plants on the side of the official road were quickly broken off, peeled, skewered with branches, and roasted on the fire, filling with fragrance.

Soon, the corn was roasted, and after taking the fragrant corn handed over by his subordinates, Wanyan Zongyi didn't care about the blackened ash, and opened his mouth to bite down.

Fragrant! Sweet! It's delicious.

Han Fang was also not polite, in front of the delicacy, the literati had nothing at all, rolled up his sleeves and began to gnaw.

Not to mention the others, one by one, like refugees who have been hungry for a few days, gnawing hard.

……

Since meeting Yue Fei, Zhao Yingluo began to prepare for the establishment of a private army. In troubled times, strength is king, and a small private army can resist the rogue bandits, and if it is a private army of tens of thousands of people, it can fight against a large army.

In just half a month, she recruited a group of 1,000 private soldiers, most of whom were refugees who fled to the vicinity of Kaifeng City.

Unlike other private soldiers, her private soldiers don't need to be paid! And absolutely loyal to her.

Are they brainwashed? No, she doesn't play with these imaginary ones.

In order to make these private soldiers loyal to him, Zhao Yingluo asked Feng Jing to directly build a five-kilometer radius town in the northern suburbs of Kaifeng City for them to live in, and the town covers an area of more than 30,000 acres.

Of course, it only took a month for the town to take shape, with brick-paved roads dividing the town into large 12-squares, and each of them was divided into large and small four-squares and nine-squares. Some houses have been built in the core of the town, and the outer walls and larger buildings are nowhere to be seen.

In her plan, the town includes a series of functions such as residences, schools, and shopping streets.

Becoming her private soldier, the family has a life guarantee, and the children can avoid the pain of fleeing, who doesn't want such generous conditions?

It is precisely because of this that those homeless people are willing to die for her.

After organizing the private army, Zhao Yingluo began to systematically train them according to the model of his own military training in later generations, as well as the training methods seen in military-themed TV series.

Of course, she herself was not good at combat, so she was thinking about inviting Yue Fei to teach basic techniques, tactics, formations, etc.

In addition to this private army, she did not fall behind in the matter of farming.

Now that it has reached the end of July, the corn has reached the critical period of grain filling, and Zhao Yingluo, who is not very at ease, took out her free time, and took Jiang Laosi, Feng Jing, and the two maids Xia He and Dong Xue who took care of her instead of Chun Tao and Pothos, as well as more than a dozen strong men with some combat power out of the town, and headed towards the official road not far to the north.

Zhao Yingluo and the two maids rode in a carriage, while the others rode north.

Just as they were about to reach their destination, several farmers panicked and ran over as if they were running for their lives.

Seeing this, Jiang Laosi immediately shouted, "Lao Li, what's going on?" So flustered? ”

The man in his forties who was called Lao Li saw that he was in charge, and he gasped and stammered, "Steward, there is ...... Yes...... There are gold people who steal corn to eat. ”

Zhao Yingluo in the carriage heard that there were gold people stealing corn, opened the curtain, and asked, "How many gold people?" Soldier or civilian? ”

"Good...... It seems to be a civilian. ”

"Let's go! Let's go check it out! Be vigilant. ”

Others either drew their knives or set up bows and arrows, while Zhao Yingluo loaded his own fire gun with projectiles.

It doesn't matter if you are a soldier or a civilian, dare to touch the old lady's corn! If I don't teach a lesson, I will be ashamed of being the princess of the Great Song Dynasty.

Dozens of feet away, Wanyan Zongyi gnawed a few corns in a row, and he was addicted! Just as he was about to eat the last one, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and he looked up to see a dozen people coming down from the pipe, surrounding them.

Wanyan Zongyi was a little surprised, but he was not flustered in his heart, he raised his eyes and asked, "...... you are?"

Before he finished speaking, a delicate carriage slowly stopped on the side of the official road, and then a peerless woman of incredible beauty got down from the carriage, only to see that she was wearing a pale green long dress, the skirt fluttered gently with her movements, although there was an angry expression on her face, but even so he was fascinated.

After Zhao Yingluo got out of the car, she also saw Wanyan Zongyi, seeing that he was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament, not like a golden soldier.

Those well-defined faces are much more handsome than ordinary people, and those deep, soul-seducing eyes are staring straight at themselves.

"Where did you come from? Why did you trespass into my fields and steal corn to eat? ”

Wanyan Zongyi was still immersed in Zhao Yingluo's beauty, and she suddenly came back to her senses after being scolded by her.

"Are you the owner of this field?"

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, "Otherwise?" ”

After Yan Zongyi came back to his senses, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "After finishing Yan Yi, he is a Dajin businessman, who wants to sell some ginseng to Kaifeng, and he was hungry on the way, and when he saw that there was corn, he took some of it, not stealing it." ”
