Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 261 Hou Fu Sends a Beggar to Assassinate Yuchihuan

Hedong Road, Zhongzhou, Xi County!
The Zhongzhou navy led by Liu Rengui finally returned to Xi County after a day and night of rapid march.

Yu Chihuan summoned Liu Rengui to the Zhongzhou Dudu Mansion to inquire about the situation in Chang'an City.

At the same time, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry sent by Li Er to Zhongzhou also arrived in Zhongzhou.

On behalf of Yu Chihuan, Chu Suiliang met the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry came to Zhongzhou to learn iron smelting technology!

Chu Suiliang didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the craftsmen in the iron-making workshop to explain their doubts to the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry.

The craftsmen dispatched by the Ministry of Industry are from generations of craftsmen. They know everything and are smarter than anyone else.

In the end, these craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry also personally operated the crucibles in the iron-making workshops, and they did not stop until they were fully proficient.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry then asked Chu Suiliang for the method of making the crucible.

Chu Suiliang didn't dare to hide it, so he had to teach them how to make a graphite crucible.

Five days later, those craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry returned to Chang'an City with their personally cast crucibles and blowers!
From the beginning to the end, Yu Chihuan did not invite them to enter the Zhongzhou Dudu's Mansion.

The Zhongzhou Dudu's Mansion is in charge of military affairs at the border, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry will definitely not rush to visit Yuchihuan.

Yu Chihuan has not been idle these days in Zhongzhou, he has been paying attention to the movements of Shuofang Turks!

"Little Governor Yuchi, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have completed their mission and returned to Beijing!"

Chu Suiliang sent the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry away and returned to the Zhongzhou Dudu Mansion to report the news.

"Well, I see!"

Yu Chihuan then discussed with Chu Suiliang the people's livelihood in Zhongzhou.

Through Chu Suiliang's personal inspection, Yuchihuan has a clear picture of the economic situation of each county in Zhongzhou.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and Yu Chihuan is most concerned about farming.

Moreover, when the Tang Dynasty paid taxes, it was mainly grain, and silver and cloth were just currency substitutes!
The sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in Zhongzhou half a month ago have sprouted and are growing well!

According to Yuchihuan's estimation, after two years, both sweet potatoes and potatoes will have a bumper harvest.

After Yuchihuan learned about farming, he began to ask about border defense.

Chu Suiliang told Yuchihuan the information he had collected on the Great Wall.

"Little Governor Yuchi, last winter there was a heavy snowfall in the Turks, and there was a plague. I heard that many people and livestock died, and now hungry people are everywhere!"

Chu Suiliang knew the Turkic situation well through the spying of the Tang scouts!

"Chu Suiliang, let's visit Shuofang in a few days!"

Yuchihuan is the governor of Zhongzhou, in charge of the five states of Hedong Road, including Shuozhou!

Shuozhou is close to the Turks and was the site of the Three War.

Once a war broke out between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Shuofang would definitely bear the brunt and be affected by the war.

"Your officer obeys!" Chu Suiliang accepted the order without hesitation.

Yu Chihuan then sent Chu Suiliang to rest.

Chu Suiliang bid farewell to Yu Chihuan and went back to his study to rest.

Now that the entire Tang Dynasty is booming, the Turks dare not invade the border towns of the Tang Dynasty rashly, otherwise they will be annihilated by the Tang army.

Yuchihuan felt at ease, and he also went into the room to take a nap afterwards.

……

Two days later, Yu Chihuan went to inspect the Bauhinia Coal Mine again!
Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui led twenty generals to protect Yuchihuan's safety.

Liu Rengui is currently leading the military training at the Zhongzhou Naval Base Camp, so he did not follow and protect Yuchihuan.

Chu Suiliang came to the Bauhinia Coal Mine to check out the site ahead of time!
As soon as Yu Chihuan arrived at the Bauhinia Mountains, Chu Suiliang greeted him with officials who supervised the coal mines.

The Bauhinia Mountains are now bare, and coal miners are everywhere at the foot of the mountain.

In addition to [-] prisoners of war serving hard labor, these miners also have many local ordinary people recruited this month!
Moreover, these ordinary people are from good families, and they are guaranteed by the head of the village, so they can be completely trusted!
Chu Suiliang worked hard to protect Yuchihuan's safety.

Da da!

But at this moment, more than 100 ragged beggars ran outside the Zijing Coal Mine.

These beggars were very burly, and although their hair was disheveled, it could still be seen that their faces were ruddy, unlike those yellow and emaciated beggars in the market!

When Cheng Chumo saw these beggars approaching, he immediately led someone to intercept them!

As a result, those beggars were not afraid of Cheng Chumo and them, and even argued with them.

"We are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, why didn't the Zijing Coal Mine hire us to dig coal?"

"That's right, the entire Tang Dynasty has such regulations on the Bauhinia Coal Mine. This is not in line with His Majesty's style of being close to the people!"

"Today, I heard that Yu Chihuan, the governor of Zhongzhou, came to the Bauhinia Coal Mine, so I came to ask for a job to make ends meet!"

These 100+ beggars argue that they want to work in the coal mines!
When Yu Chihuan heard what the beggar said, he frowned and said, "Cheng Chumo, let them come and talk!"

"Little Commander Yuchi, the origin of these people is unknown, it's not safe!"

Cheng Chumo was shocked. He was worried that there might be assassins hidden among these beggars, so he kept them away from Yuchihuan.

"It's okay, let them come over!"

Yu Chihuan said confidently: "In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are countless people who want to kill me, but they don't have the ability!"

Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "Little Commander Yuchi's words are true, I'll take them there in the end!"

Soon, more than 100 beggars stepped into the Zijing coal mine under Cheng Chumo's surveillance.

In order to ensure the safety of Yuchihuan, Chu Suiliang ordered more than 100 government servants to follow.

Once these beggars are unfavorable to Yuchi Huan, Chu Suiliang will do something to these beggars!
Yuchihuan stood at the entrance of the Bauhinia Coal Mine and waited for these beggars!
But just when the beggar was ten steps away from Yuchi Huan, an accident happened!

"Dog officer, take your life!"

Suddenly, the beggar who took the lead took out a dagger from his pocket, and rushed towards Yuchihuan with a murderous look.

Swish!Swish!
And the other beggars also pulled out their sharp swords or short knives to kill Yuchihuan.

All of a sudden, swords, lights and swords were everywhere in front of Yuchihuan!
"There are assassins!"

Cheng Chumo's face turned pale with fright, he immediately swung a horizontal knife and chopped down a beggar!
"Protect Little Commander Yuchi!"

Twenty family generals also drew their swords and surrounded Yuchihuan. Suddenly, the sound of swords, lights and swords colliding everywhere around Yuchihuan.

Chu Suiliang reacted a little slower, but he still drew his sword and said, "Protect the little governor Yuchi!"

Next, more than 100 government officials under the leadership of Chu Suiliang attacked more than 100 beggars!
Yuchi Huan was well protected by the government officials and family generals. The beggars who rushed over were killed one by one, and they could not get closer than ten steps to Yuchi Huan!

But at this moment, a crossbow arrow suddenly flew over the Bauhinia Mountains, and the arrow headed straight for Yuchihuan!

Xue Rengui reacted quickly, and immediately stood in front of Yuchi Huan, slashing at the flying crossbow arrows with a knife and saying: "Little Governor Yuchi, there is a sharpshooter on the top of the mountain, you should hide quickly!"

Yu Chihuan said indifferently: "It's okay, he can't kill me!"

Seeing that Yu Chihuan was unwilling to hide, Xue Rengui had to stand in front of him as a shield!
