The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

There were some small tribes that the Han people didn't know about. These foreign businessmen ran over and helped Mr. Pang draw up a detailed topographic map of the Tatars.

Shen Dongsu flipped through the papers piled half as high as a person, because these messages were oral narrations from foreigners.

An officer in the army who understood foreign languages ​​translated and wrote down some of the information, which was a bit confusing.

In order to receive the reward, they spared no effort, as big as how many horses, sheep, and slaves a certain tribe had.

Where is the water source? The place where the tribe draws water, the pasture where the seasons change.

Which tribe's daughter marries into the king's tent, half of the tribute will be waived, etc.

It's as small as which tribe secretly raises rabbits, which tribe grows herbs that can cure livestock...

Shen Dongsu searched carefully and found something useful in the information. There were more than a dozen Han slaves in the Chetu tribe, including a tall and thin Han man.

He didn't have to do hard labor to take care of these slaves, and he always entered the tent of the general of the Chetu tribe.

The foreign merchants went there several times, but they didn't understand what the Tatars were shouting. They secretly gave food to Han slaves, and only then did they find out the name of this man from them.

His surname is Lu and his given name is Yunzhou.

When she saw the news, Shen Dongsu's first reaction was to bring Li Nianyu.

Li Nianyu, who had lost weight and had heavier dark circles under his eyes, said to Shen Dongsu sadly and anxiously:

"What kind of eating utensils does the princess want to make? Just find a craftsman. I have reached a critical point in my research on gunpowder and cannot live without people."

Shen Dongsu raised the piece of paper to him, and Li Nianyu continued helplessly, looking at the boss who stared at him with a confused look on his face:

"This is not me! Lu Yunzhou is dead, killed by Prince Ling himself."

Of course Shen Dongsu didn't know about him. Although he looked like a skinny monkey, he was definitely not the Monkey King, so he naturally didn't have the ability to clone himself.

She coughed lightly and asked, "I know it's not you. I just want to ask, who do you think this person could be?"

Li Nianyu started to shake his head violently, then shook it slower and slower, frowned, and guessed: "Do you think it could be Mo Xiujin?"

"Bang!" Shen Linzhong, who came to deliver baked glutinous rice cakes, dropped the plate in his hand.

He strode forward and asked eagerly: "Is there any news about Xiao Pan?"

Shen Dongsu sighed softly: "Not sure yet."

She asked Li Nianyu again: "Are you sure that none of your former colleagues will pretend to be you?"

Li Nianyu was stunned: "Ex-colleague?"

"They are your fellow spies! There are eight if not ten spies sent by the queen to Youzhou, right? Is it possible that they are pretending to be you?"

Li Nianyu was anxious and panicked, his face turned red: "I haven't contacted these people since I came to Youzhou..."

Shen Dongsu hurriedly raised his hand:

"I'm not doubting you. I want to doubt you. Will I give you the gunpowder? Let's discuss the matter. If you think about it carefully, who else could pretend to be you?"

Li Nianyu shook his head clearly: "If you are the Queen's spy, you don't have to pretend to be someone else."

Shen Dongsu thought the same thing. The queen's spies seemed to be arrogant and a little brainless.

In this way, it is more likely that this person is Brother Xiaopan.

She was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Jia Si to bring the foreigner who had spread the news.

This time, I will directly reward you with ten catties of tea, ten catties of sugar, ten catties of salt, one hundred catties of grain and ten rolls of linen.

Arrange a bunch of rewards, and then ask him to go to the Chetu tribe again to contact Lu Yunzhou.

At first, this foreigner wanted to refuse. The road was blocked by heavy snow and the Tatars were very strict. It was a narrow escape in the past.

However, Princess Ling gave too much!

This year, the clan has given birth to more cubs and more women. With these things, they can survive the cold winter.

The foreigners have been doing business with the Han people for a long time, and they have learned to be smarter. They raised their hands, waved five fingers, and said bluntly:

"Give me another fifty pounds of salt."

Shen Dongsu suddenly remembered that when she first traveled through time, she did business with Ling Moxiao.

She remembered that she was selling finished medicine to Ling Moxiao. She also extended her finger in the same way. She originally wanted a hundred taels of silver, but Ling Moxiao directly gave her a thousand taels.

When Ling Moxiao looked at her at that time, was it the same feeling she felt when she looked at this alien now?

Fifty pounds of salt means nothing to her.

But for this foreigner, he was willing to risk his life to explore the northern Xinjiang tribe.

She nodded heavily: "Okay! Come here, give him another fifty pounds of salt."

In this way, this foreigner returned to the tribe with two large carts of rewards, and set off for the Chetu tribe before the next snow fell.

Shen Linzhong originally wanted to give him a token or something, otherwise what would happen if Mo Xiujin didn't trust him?

Shen Dongsu stopped him because he was not sure that this person was really Brother Xiaopan. Moreover, foreign businessmen had been there before, but he had not contacted him yet.

Either he is not Brother Xiaopan, or he has other plans and does not want to contact Youzhou for the time being.

Of course, anyone else would definitely come up with the third guess, which is that the Han betrayed Daxia and became a slave of the Tatars.

There are many such people, and many captives end up helping the Tatars.

But Shen Dongsu and Shen Linzhong have no such idea at all, because if this person is Brother Xiaopan, there is no way he will betray Daxia and Youzhou.

Both of them firmly believed that if it was really Brother Xiaopan, he must have other reasons why he didn't contact Youzhou.

Shen Dongsu thought of the letter from home. Sister Ayuan was traveling with her master. She would definitely want to see Brother Xiaopan.

If she comes to Youzhou and her life or death is uncertain, how should she tell Sister Ayuan the news?

Shen Dongsu only worried for a while, because there were too many things she needed to do.

Ling Moxiao was not in Youzhou City, and Mr. Pang was busy with the military affairs, so she had to share half of the government affairs.

For most of the day, she sat in her office at Moon Gate, meeting with officials from all over the city.

Some come to ask for instructions on the resettlement of the refugees, some come to ask for manual mining or city wall construction, some come to ask for supplies, some come to complain about any official who is not cooperating...

If Youzhou City is a smaller version of the Great Xia Dynasty, then she holds the job of prime minister.

The Duke of Zhou would eat a piece of meat three times, but she did the same. She drank a cup of tea and heated it up when it was cold, and let it cool down when it was hot.

Shen Linzhong was originally only responsible for making salt, but later added the responsibility of resettling refugees, which was not difficult for him.

The refugees do not have high demands and are docile and obedient. He is from a farmer's background and knows much more about the needs of the refugees than the officials.

I don't know if Mr. Pang saw that he was doing well or because he just couldn't spare any manpower, so he was given more and more errands.

Until that day, Mr. Pang came to tell Shen Dongsu in person that there was something wrong with the base at the seaside, and someone who could calm things down was needed.

Shen Linzhong was invited to go. Shen Dongsu was puzzled at first, why didn't so many officials use it?

Mr. Pang said with a smile that Shen Linzhong, as the brother of the princess, had an excellent reputation among the people. Letting him go would be more easily accepted by the people than sending officials.

Shen Dongsu asked his eldest brother for his opinion, and Shen Linzhong had no objection to it. He was very happy to be able to help his sister.

Not to mention going to the base, he is willing to go to a more dangerous place.
