Datang Fenghua Road

Han Yue recovered his mind and said solemnly, "Bury!"

"Thick burial?" Wuhou's face was startled, and he subconsciously said: "He came to assassinate you, this is the assassin of the enemy country, and he should be the head of the city to shock the dark night..."

Han Yue shook his head slowly, looked to the south, and said softly: "The war between the two countries is not a personal crime. This old man is the great protector of Goguryeo. Although he is a big enemy in our eyes, he is a national hero of the other country. Such a person cannot be humiliated, and should be buried with a generous burial."

"His Royal Highness!" Marquis Wu wanted to say more, but Han Yue waved his hand to interrupt, he thought for a while, suddenly took off his outer robe and gently covered it with Grandmaster Yu, and said in a low voice: "Take it away, let me The Department of Civil Affairs in the city is in charge of the burial, and when the coffin is put down, this king will go to perform the ceremony of the junior.

Marquis Wu stopped talking, and called a few Paozes to come together. Everyone carefully lifted the corpse of Grand Master Yu, and then went to the Civil Affairs Department in the city.

Han Yue stood on the side of the street with his hands behind his back, staring at the crowd slowly moving away, suddenly he felt a sense of belonging, and subconsciously turned his head to look to the south.

It was at this moment that the sky-shattering cheers suddenly sounded on the south street, but after hearing the roar of hoofs, a few fast horses sprinted frantically.

Immediately, the knight's face flushed with excitement, and he shouted loudly, "Great Tang Wansheng, Koryo Victory, Great Tang Wansheng, Koryo Victory..."

The sound was so loud that it was heard far away, and countless people on the street were watching, and everyone was smiling.

The knight on the horse came all the way, drinking wildly in his mouth, and suddenly found Han Yue standing on the street, he quickly reined in his horse, turned over, knelt down, and said loudly: "I tell you, the great victory in Koryo ahead, our army defeated a million people in Koryo in one battle!" The coalition forces killed 15 troops and captured 30 prisoners. Now the enemy troops in Koryo have fled, and the subordinates have been appointed by General Li Fenghua to come here to win the victory against His Highness."

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "Your Highness, the northern territory of Koryo belongs to us. There are 21 small cities, and the defenders in the cities were all wiped out. The three large cities all knelt down and begged to surrender. Such a record is outstanding. Unexpectedly, Li Fenghua and other six generals did not dare to assert without authorization, and ordered their subordinates to come to ask the prince for instructions, what should we do next?"

A smile appeared on Han Yue's face, and he pondered: "The Koryo border is divided into three parts, the northern border is the weakest, the middle border is second, and the south is the strongest near the capital of Goryeo. Although this battle is a great victory, there are still hundreds of thousands of enemies left. The army fled, and ordered Li Fenghua and others to continue to pursue the south, they are only responsible for fighting, and this king will organize people to collect!"

"Order!" The soldier bowed his hands in a salute, then turned on his war horse, whipped the whip fiercely in his hand, turned the horse's head and ran away.

Hundreds of knights came back to report victory this time. This knight was sent back to give new orders, while the rest of the knights kept shouting in the city.

More and more people flocked to the streets, with joy after the victory of the war on their faces.

Han Yue glanced at the long street, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Folks, the northern part of Goryeo has already returned to the Tang Dynasty, take out your war bonds, and follow this king to harvest the money..."

Chapter 459 Hope from Han Yue

Five days later, in the early morning, North Korea.

The vast snowfield stretches as far as the eye can see, the cold wind blows up the snow on the ground, and hits people's faces like knives. On such a bitterly cold winter day, suddenly a large army appears on the snowfield, like a giant dragon meandering, head and tail Can't look at each other, can't see the end at a glance.

This army is not soldiers going out, but ordinary peasants. Standing in the team and looking around, there are men pushing carts, men carrying burdens, and laborers carrying wooden boxes. There are women carrying packages.

Regardless of gender, age, and age, everyone gritted their teeth and moved forward. Although the weather was cold, the hearts of the people were hot.

"Ah..." An old man suddenly sneezed loudly in a corner of the team. The old man rubbed his nose vigorously, feeling a little tired and tired. He reached out and took out a rice ball from his arms and slowly opened it. Swallowing saliva, he carefully wrapped the rice ball and stuffed it back.

A young man next to him frowned, and finally couldn't help persuading him, and said softly: "Uncle, I think you should eat it quickly, you've already taken out this rice ball three times, and I'll see if you take it back again." Don't let go!"

The old man glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll bear it any longer, eat less food, and save a few cents more. You must be able to calculate in life, and you can't finish the meal in one sitting!"

"Uncle, you..." The young man couldn't help sighing, his face was tangled for a long time, he suddenly took out a rice ball from his arms and handed it over, gritted his teeth and said, "Eat mine."

The old man was a little surprised, his eyes fell on the young man's patched jacket, and he shook his head and said, "Look at your doll's clothes, the family should be poor, so I should keep this rice ball for myself. Although the prince's guys sell it. Rice is cheap, but a rice ball costs two cents..."

He pushed the young man's rice ball back, then carefully patted the rice ball in his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, baby, the lord's guys are very sincere in selling this rice ball, it has meat and noodles in it, and it's also put away. Oil and salt, you can eat one for two days without being hungry, I just ate it last night!"

He stopped here for a while, stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Since he left his family and ran to Liaodong, he must have no choice but to be poor. You can save it, and I will save it, we're here. Eat more, eat one less meal, and save two cents more."

The young man let out a low sigh, suddenly looked towards the front of the team, and murmured, "I don't know if I can make a fortune this time!"

There was some confusion on his face, and he sighed: "The boy bought twenty war bonds, which is my savings from working as a coolie for five years, as well as the savings from my old mother to wash clothes for people, the private storage of my daughter-in-law to stay up late weaving, the whole family's savings. All of this property has been exchanged for bonds, if you lose it..."

He swallowed, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.

The old man was also a little worried, he stood on tiptoe and looked towards the south, his cloudy eyes were both eager and fearful, and he whispered: "I heard the younger brother of the military who ran by on horseback just now that he will reach Anshi in half an hour. The city, I heard that it is a very wealthy city, and now it has been conquered by the prince's army, waiting for us to pack up the supplies."

He suddenly took out two bills from his arms, and said with longing on his face: "I also bought twenty bonds, the old man doesn't expect to be able to turn the book, but only hopes to get back some Korean ginseng, this thing can be brought back to the Central Plains. It's amazing, there is a special pharmacy in the town that buys it at a high price, and a good ginseng can sell two or three pieces..."

The young man swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Boy doesn't want ginseng. I want to exchange some good leather and bring it back, and let my wife make a robe and sell it. It will definitely sell for a good price."

The old man couldn't help but glance at him, and said in surprise, "Where do you want to wear leather robes?"

"That's right, the boy is a member of the Longyou Taoism. It takes more than 1000 miles to go from Chang'an to the northwest. The winter is very bitter, colder than the northeast and Liaodong."

The old man nodded and said, "I am a Taoist from Henan, and the climate is better than yours, so furs are not worth much. But ginseng is very valuable, and one can sell two or three pieces."

The old and the young are friends they met on the road, and they also represent a microcosm of the prosperous army in Liaodong. Countless people come from all over the Tang Dynasty, from all over the world. Although everyone's situation is different, they have one thing in common. .

That is poverty!

And bought war bonds!

"Brother, why do you want to buy bonds?"

The old man suddenly asked a question, a little curious: "Could it be that there is a town building in your hometown, and there are also learned young gentlemen in the town?"

"Uncle, you're really right..." The young man slapped his thigh and nodded, "The boy just listened to Mr. Xiao's instigation, so he gritted his teeth and exchanged all his family property for bonds, and then carried dry food all the way to Liaodong."

The old man said with emotion: "I also listened to what Mr. Xiao said, but the old man's family has no money, and the bonds are exchanged with materials. The old wife and daughter-in-law of my family weave and draw yarn, and the cloth made suddenly cannot be sold. The old man and I The two sons were also dismissed for no reason by the kiln opened by a big family in the county..."

He clenched his fists and sighed: "I thought the sky was about to fall, and the old wife and daughter-in-law at home cried and died, thinking that this year they were going to starve to death, but the little gentleman who built the town suddenly came to tell him that he could use materials. Exchange bonds, guaranteed to give three times the return, the old man did not sleep for several nights, and finally he gritted his teeth and exchanged everything in the house."

He suddenly looked at the young man and said with some envy, "Speaking of which, your family is rich, brother, and you can buy [-] bonds. It's not like I have to be forced to change it because I can't stand it."

The young man's face turned red, and he said embarrassingly: "The boy's bonds are not all bought with copper coins, most of them are exchanged for materials."

A woman next to him laughed and said, "You don't need to blush, little brother, it's not ashamed at all, you ask each family on the road, which one is not a bond for materials? If you really want to eat and drink at home, Who would grit their teeth and come to Liaodong..."

The young man naturally understood the truth, and the redness on his face slowly faded. He glanced at the woman and found that she was alone with a small package on her back.

The woman laughed and said, "The slave family is a widow. The man has a tuberculosis that has not been cured. He leaves two babies to be raised. They all say that women can't show their faces, but what should I do if I don't show my face? I dare to go anywhere."

"Then you are here in Liaodong, what about the children at home?"

"The eldest child is ten years old and is studying in the primary school in the town that was just built. She eats, drinks, and wears clothes. The little one was not taken care of at first, but there was a kindergarten in the primary school. The little gentleman in the town heard that I I want to come to Liaodong, I patted my chest and promised to help me take care of the baby, and said that doing this would increase his credits..."

With a smile on her face, the woman suddenly looked around, lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "You don't believe me, that little gentleman in our town has a long history, and the slave family saw more than a dozen girls in luxurious dresses come to him. As soon as they met, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying that the concubine in the palace had sent him to serve him to help him. As a result, the little gentleman was very angry. .And a small box was thrown out the door, and fell to the ground, revealing the white silver..."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, the young man's eyes were straight, and he muttered: "The empress in the palace sent someone to serve him? He even gave him a box of silver for him? It's so good, could it be that your little gentleman is a prince?"

He was a little stunned, subconsciously swallowing saliva.

The woman was a little proud, and said more and more mysteriously: "The slave family also saw a group of guards secretly hiding in the town, for fear of being discovered by the little gentleman, these guards used money to buy the rags of the common people. When I noticed it, I used a stick to beat it away..."

She looked around the crowd and said proudly: "Our little gentleman is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and he is just a doll who has just taken off his crotch pants in the village. As a result, people are more stable in speaking and doing things than adults, and they are full of belly. knowledge……"

The young man suddenly interrupted and said loudly: "The young gentleman in our town is not very old, and he is full of knowledge. Our land in Longyou Road is barren, but the seeds brought by the little gentleman can still grow in the sand. It is said that Next year, I can harvest [-] shi per mu, so I don’t have to worry about running out of food in the future.”

Speaking of their town, everyone started to interrupt, even the old man coughed and helped the little gentleman in his own town to gain fame, and said loudly: "The little gentleman in the old man's town is very powerful, and there are less than two people here. Yue, built a kiln, burned red bricks, and then searched for soil and came back, saying that it was done with some kind of laboratory method, but it turned out to be a treasure for him, and now he has started to build a porcelain kiln, and it will be very valuable to burn in the spring. The china..."

He grabbed a handful of snow, held it up and showed off to the crowd: "Do you think this snow is white? The porcelain that the little gentleman wants to burn is even whiter than this. I heard that a piece of porcelain can be sold for at least forty or fifty cents. , the most cost is charcoal fire and labor, and the soil is worthless at all.”
