On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head, and generally speaking, it is the season of spring sowing.

After the matter was negotiated, the whole of Yiquanwu was no longer nervous. The Zhuangke tribe laid down their weapons and began to prepare for the miscellaneous things of spring sowing.

Shao Xun walked around the dock fort.

These fortresses are only dangerous.

The platform where the first spring dock is located, forty or fifty meters high, isolated on three sides, and only one slope can go up and down.

The siege equipment could not be counted on, and it could only be piled up by human life.

Attack up the slope, unobstructed and exposed to enemy bows and crossbows – if they have them – and that's a bloody path.

If the other party uses some more sassal wood and rolling stones, the casualties will be even greater.

When they reached the bottom of the dock fort, they were attached to the ladder ants, and the elite soldiers of a hundred battles were pushed down from the head of the city, and they were either killed or injured - the wall of the dock fort looked like it was three feet high.

It's really not worth a frontal assault.

Either a sneak attack, or a negotiation, the other party will pay some money and food, send a proton, and then promise to send troops to help you fight, and it's over.

The Du family is not a rootless person.

The late Du Pre is very famous, the eldest son Du Xi is Shangshu Zuocheng, and the second son Du Ji is Xinping Taishou, although Du Tan and Du Yin are farming and studying at home, it is easy to get an official - if it weren't for Mi Huang's horizontal intervention, Du Yin would probably be Hongnong Taishou.

With such a family background and such hard power, it is best to be able to resolve it peacefully.

After all, the two who led the troops, one was about to take up the post of Hongnong Taishou, and the other was soon a general in the palace, both were court officials, not bandits, and they still had to talk about some rules.

"I helped you get 30,000 pieces of grain, is it enough?" The commanders of Zhuwu Fort in Yiyang County basically came, and after arguing with them for a long time, Mi Huang came out of the big tent and pulled Shao Xun to talk about things.

"I only need 20,000 grains." Shao Xun said: "You don't need to give enough at once, just send a little every month." The remaining 10,000 Hu, can you exchange it for some ploughing cattle, farm tools, and seeds? ”

"Everyone lacks these things." Mi Huang said: "If you can make a large number of self-made farm tools and weapons, raise silkworms and weave cloth, and domesticate calves, the county can also do it with a spring, Heshui, and Yanggong Sanwu Fort." ”

"Can you think of a way?" Shao Xun asked.

"Try your best." Mi Huang nodded and said, "My new official has taken office, and Du Tan and Du Yin brothers have to give some face." However, Xiao Langjun, are you spreading too much? Many people are doing it to build a dock and store guests, but it is rare to see someone as anxious as you. Just like the Yunzhong Village you just built, first settle two or three hundred households, take your time, take a few years to gain a firm foothold, and then expand a little bit, isn't it? Aren't all these dock forts in Yiyang coming from like this? Yiquanwu even began to be built in the Cao Wei period, which was originally just a separate courtyard and operated by three generations, so that there is today's situation. ”

"The general trend is like this, and I have to be in a hurry." Shao Xun said.

Mi Huang will be skeptical.

Trend? Now the general trend is very good, and Sikong is left with the last enemy, Sima Hao.

"If you really want to get things done quickly, there's only one way." Mi Huang said.

"Please also ask the lieutenant for advice."

"Take a wife."

Shao Xun is stopped, does it mean to sell himself?

In fact, he is not so resistant, the key is that he can't sell it at a good price now......

"Let's weigh it up." Mi Huang said.

Shao Xun only weighed for a second, and then asked, "Dare to ask which women are to be married in Beijing?" ”

Give me the rich woman's address book, hurry up!

Mi Huang was taken aback by Shao Xun's dryness, is it a big event like getting married, does it depend on whether the dowry is rich or not?

He thought about it seriously, and said, "Wang Huifeng is the first choice." ”

"Lieutenant, you're mentioning this guy for the second time." Shao Xun said helplessly.

"It's you, I've mentioned it repeatedly." Mi Huang said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Wang Huifeng is the former crown princess, and she is extremely chaste, although she is widowed, she may not be willing to marry you." If you really let Wang Yifu nod and agree, and Wang Huifeng is forced to marry you, you can steal the fun. After this girl gets married, she will be dedicated to you, serve her in-laws diligently, and take care of the family business carefully. If you're out on the road, she'll even be able to help you manage the Dock Fort, so you don't catch fire in your backyard. Ordinary people, I don't want to introduce it, but I can't help mentioning her sister Wang Jingfeng. ”

Listening to Mi Huang's tone, Wang Jingfeng is a beautiful vase, and he has no ability. Wang Huifeng has the means, and he is a virgin, so he may not be willing to remarry.

Shao Xun shook his head and asked, "What else?" ”

Mi Huang glanced at him and said, "Go and ask the princess to let her arrange a family affair for you." There are many women in the Pei family, and they are also very rich, but if you really want to talk about it, there may not be a widow who is easy to get. ”

When he said the word "successful", Mi Huang's old face flushed, as if this word was not very good.

"Princess......" Shao Xun subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and he might mess things up.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, there's no way." Mi Huang said earnestly: "Do you really want to take root in Yiyang?" It costs a lot to build a dock fort, and there are not many people who have this strength. ”

"How so?" Shao Xun was surprised.

"How not?" Mi Huang said strangely: "I can't afford to build a dock fort in Luoyang, I don't have money to ask for, I want no people, and the money and grain of the East China Sea can't fly to Luoyang." ”

"There are no rich people in the capital?"

"The richest person in the capital now is Wang Yifu, followed by Queen Sheep."

"Huh?" Shao Xun's eyes lit up and asked, "How can Queen Sheep be rich?" ”

"After Yang Xuanzhi's death, no one in the Yang family was in the capital, and they all returned to Qingzhou." Mi Huang said: "In the past, Zhao Wanglun was defeated, and the brothers of the Sun family were three clans, some of the goods were confiscated, and some fell into the hands of the Yang family. The goods of the Yang family and the Sun family in the capital are now taken care of by the queen's henchmen, what do you say? ”

The Sun brothers mainly refer to Sun Xiu and Sun Yi.

Sun Xiu is Sima Lun's confidant, and has repeatedly blackmailed Shi Chong, who is at the top of the rich list. His belongings may not have been taken away.

Yang Xianrong can become the queen, mainly because Sun Xiu is in operation - Sun Yi is Yang Xianrong's maternal grandfather.

"Lieutenant, can I borrow money from the Empress?" Shao Xun asked.

"It's better not to." Mi Huang shook his head and said, "After you owe favors, how can you pay it back?" In case the queen wants you to kill ......"

Mi Huang closed his mouth.

said so much, it was completely based on the friendship between the two people, and I couldn't say more.

Shao Xun already understood.

The power of the Luoyang court is now gradually becoming clear.

Sikong occupies one piece, Wang Yan occupies one piece, and those who respect the Son of Heaven should be counted as the third piece.

From beginning to end, Sima Yue failed to fully control the imperial court like several predecessors, and from the beginning he cooperated, cooperated and cooperated.

Inadvertently, Shao Xun was already qualified to enter the whirlpool of the court. Although when others think of him, most of them want to treat him as Lu Bu's envoy.

He silently calculated the assets at hand.

Shaoyuan (the manor of the former Huangfu merchants) has expanded a little, and now there are more than 100 households. The output of this manor is mainly used to support the daily life, study and training of the student soldiers of the East China Sea and Luoyang - all the student soldiers of the East China Sea who were originally incorporated into the Chinese army of the kingdom were stripped off and became the clothes and eaters of Shao Yuan.

Pan Yuan was also occupied. Although Mi Huang asked himself to return it, he kept delaying.

There are dozens of families in Pan Garden, mainly villagers, craftsmen, and servants who followed him to Biyong at the beginning. After someone got married and started a business, they came to the door and asked for a part.

Shao Xun placed them in Pan Yuan to cultivate.

The main owner of Jingu Garden ran back to Leling Kingdom, and he had no intention of coming back. Shao Xun was watching to see if anyone was robbing him, and if there was no one, he would take it directly, along with the nearby fields.

It's not without consequences, but he's ready to take it on his shoulders.

Because the Golden Valley Garden is so high-quality.

It covers a vast area, with mountain springs, artificially built rivers, ponds, orchards, pastures, and a large number of pavilions. The main body is built on the mountain, which is relatively dangerous, and if you spend money to renovate it, it is also an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack dock fort - considering that in the vicinity of Luoyang, this unjust money does not need to be spent, and it is of little significance, but Jinguyuan is still useful.

Spring ploughing is approaching, and some things really should not be delayed, and a delay is often a whole year. He urged Mi Huang to send troops before, also because of this factor.

In an agrarian society, everything revolves around farming.

"Lieutenant, how long are you still here?" Shao Xun asked.

Mi Huang was shocked, he felt that Shao Xun accompanied him to the west this time, mainly to do his own business, and the rest was incidental.

I heard that I picked a thief village in Kinmen Mountain last night.

According to the guide, Jinmen Village is "a solid mountain" and extremely dangerous, with 200 bandits guarding it.

As a result, it seemed that more than 40 casualties were taken, and Mi Huang was shocked when he knew it.

In ancient sieges, it was normal for the attackers to suffer three times more casualties than the defenders, and it was also common for them to suffer five or six times more, unless the defenders were all ready to collapse at the first touch.

Taking the cottage with such a slight casualty undoubtedly encouraged him to continue to do this in Yiyang.

Do you still have time to deter me?

"You've got to stay for five or six days." Mi Huang cleaned up his mood and said: "Pulling back and forth, bargaining, but it's not that simple. Some people can't make the decision, so they have to go back and forth between their own dock fort and a spring dock. Alas, you have something to do. Go back quickly! I take the army with me. ”

As he said the last sentence, Mi Huang raised his voice a little.

Although he is always known as a mediocre general, he is also a general, and he still has the ability to defend himself, but he can't be looked down upon.

"Lieutenant, the owner of the building, Li Chong, is quite a military strategy, and if you have something to understand, you may ask him. The owner of the building, Gao Yi, is skilled, charging into battle, and is brave and unmatched. Although Yang Bao, Huang Biao, Yu An, Zhang Gu and others are not very special, they still have the ability to divide the defense area and defend each other. Shao Xun said: "In short, if you want to arrange troops, you should consult Li Zhong. If you need to kill a general, you can ask Gao Yi. The rest of the people waited, just lead the troops to guard the stockade. ”

"Okay." Mi Huang nodded, and when he was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Langjun, what is the matter with you occupying the land and building a dock and raising so many villagers?" ”

It is the instinct of every warrior or strong man to occupy the field and build a fort, but the scale is not as big as his, which is something that makes Mi Huang difficult to solve.

"The lieutenant thinks, is Luoyang really stable? Liu Yuan fought in Bingzhou, Sima Teng couldn't control it, if he went south, how could he resist? To put it bluntly, I'm afraid. After speaking, Shao Xun saluted and left in a hurry.

Mi Huang frowned, lost in thought.
