The general will eat grass

Chapter 68 9 Prince Servants

Feng Jingde immediately led troops to check, and Liu Yong called the head of the bodyguard to come over to protect the Ninth Prince.Caught off guard, Pin Rufan learned from their conversation that he was rescued by the Ninth Prince and his party.His eyes fell on Zhao Yuansong, who was the calmest in the tent, and his fingers were scribing around on the map, studying something carefully.

This man doesn't show his aura, but he has more ideas than the Ninth Prince. He looks like a pampered dandy on the outside, but inside he looks calm and calm.I can't tell why, but this person looks contradictory and has no sense of disobedience. Apart from the general, he is the most conspicuous person in the audience.

Zhao Yuansong doesn't like to study, but he is very interested in travel notes and miscellaneous studies. Through the map, he can see that the agricultural development here is the most abundant. If it is well utilized, at least there will be no refugees in the entire Puyang County.Zhao Yuansong held the map, and his eyes stopped at a place marked with potatoes on the plain. It was not too far away from them. If he guessed right, this kind of potato was the medicinal potato mentioned in Mr. Qin’s Miscellaneous Notes. It can be used in medicine. It is said to have the effects of nourishing the middle and nourishing qi, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney. It is also very easy to cultivate and has a considerable yield.If millet is successfully imported from the south, and this kind of medicinal potato is used to regulate the five internal organs, will there still be people in Beixuan who will starve to death?

To be honest, if His Majesty the Emperor is not suspicious all the time, and the ministers are not all day long, always thinking of tearing down opponents with political disagreements, everyone will work together and focus on building Beixuan. Beixuan will no longer be afraid of the attack from the Xiongnu and Nanyuan!

However, in the face of power, there are always so many people who are blinded, selfish, and disregarding the overall situation.Think about the Zhao family in Wuyang, they always use "the emperor of flowing water, the family of iron." In their eyes, there is no country, only family.

There was a burst of noise outside the tent, Zhao Yuansong came back to his senses, and went out to see the situation.Feng Jingde has already captured that small group of "enemies", they are the personal guards of the third prince, this surprise attack is for food and silver relief.

The Ninth Prince was furious when he heard this. He didn't want to cause trouble for his brother and save face for the royal family, but he was missed by his brother. If that was the case, what else did he care about? I have no idea about that position, no matter how bad his reputation is, he is still a prince.In order to save the innocent people in Puyang and expose the third prince's wolf ambition, the Ninth Prince ordered Feng Jingde to attack with all his strength, and arrested the third prince and sent him back to Beijing.

The brigade turned around and launched an attack on Wusha Ridge.The third prince's personal guards never had any confrontation with the refugees at all, they mostly covered the evacuation of His Highness the prince, and the group of people who came out with the ninth prince had experienced two battles, so it can be said that they had developed their courage. The general's superb tactics of war formation, the two armies confront each other, it is self-evident who wins and who loses.

Before dark, Zhao Yuansong followed the Ninth Prince and stepped into the Wushaling area. The Third Prince and several of his confidants were imprisoned in the place where they imprisoned disobedient refugees. It is said that Liu Xiancheng who followed the Third Prince escaped.Feng Jingde ordered them to be carefully guarded, and the third prince will be dealt with after the ninth prince submits the book and asks the emperor for instructions.As for whether to continue to go deep into Puyang for disaster relief, we have to wait for the emperor's order. From the perspective of national interests, the discovery of refined iron ore is more important.

Zhao Yuansong looked at the refugees who had been forcibly conscripted, and suggested: "If not, let's set up the disaster relief site in Wushaling. Attract people who have lost their houses and farmland and can't survive, and come here to settle down. In the future, the Wushaling Mine may need a lot of wrestlers."

Ninth Prince's eyes lit up, "That's right, let's do it this way."

Liu Yong grasped the key point this time, knowing that Zhao Yuansong was trying to embarrass the Ninth Prince again.Sure enough, when the news got out, the common people praised the nine princes for their selflessness and dedication to the country and the people wholeheartedly.At the moment, he was so happy that he ran to personally supervise the Huotou army to make porridge, and let's give up a meal of rice porridge tonight.When Zhao Shilang saw it, he stopped him and said: "People are not satisfied, you give them such a good meal for the first meal, let alone whether those greedy people will jump out to fight for it? Just say that the rice is used up, If you send out miscellaneous grains and bean porridge, can they still swallow it? Will it cause more dissatisfaction?"

Zhao Yuansong, who was not far away, heard it and was very interested in this theory. He came over and asked, "Then what should be done according to Mr. Zhao's opinion?"

"His Highness Nine saved the refugees, that's why the refugees are very grateful to him." Zhao Shilang walked away with such words.

Liu Yong muttered: "No matter what kind of porridge you give up, it's all thanks to His Highness Ninth Prince. Why do they still complain?"

Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu!The inferiority of human beings can never be wiped out.Zhao Yuansong's eyeballs lightened, and bad ideas came immediately. He told the soldiers: "Go, dig some soil and pour it into the pot, and add miscellaneous grains and beans into it. You don't need to cook them too badly, as long as you can eat them."

Liu Yong was shocked, "Zhao Shishu, how did this happen!"

"Why not? For those who are about to starve to death, these are life-saving food. For those who just want to eat free food, let them eat a mouthful of mud forever. There is no free food in the world. If you want better things, you need to use your hands Go change it. A protective wall is about to be built on the Yingzui Cliff of Yanshan Mountain in the north, and only those who are willing to work can receive the food that is not worth mentioning." Zhao Yuansong puts his hands behind his back and raises his chin slightly. He looks like a bully Little dude. "The porridge needs to be so thick that you can stick chopsticks vertically!"

Liu Yong couldn't figure out what kind of demon Zhao Yuansong was doing, so he ran to report to the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Yuan Song has a good idea! In this way, we can save part of the money for building the protective wall. It can be used to buy more food, and it can also provide food for more refugees. A bowl full of porridge mixed with sand will not kill anyone. If you don’t want to suffer, you can go back to farm, all voluntary, and they don’t take advantage of it if they want to make trouble!” Provide the refugees with a way to survive, and there is strong force to suppress them, how can Wei Hu’s generation appear? What about forces?

The Ninth Prince really admired Zhao Yuansong for having a good brain.

At dawn the next day, the little eunuch beside the third prince led the way, and Zhao Yuansong and others entered the mine area.Two and a half miles away from the commander's tent, a landslide caused by the earthquake exposed the rust-red ore in half of the mountain peak. Half a mile away from the landslide, there is a shallow cave, which was opened by the order of the third prince not long ago. mine.

The depth of the hole is less than ten feet, and there is a layer of metallic luster on the stone wall, and there is a smell of rust in the air.Feng Jingde picked up a piece of ore scattered at the entrance of the cave, and hit it hard against the cave wall. Sparks flew everywhere, and there was no need to smelt it. Zhao Yuansong knew that this vein of ore could be said to be the refined iron of refined iron.

Zhao Yuansong walked into the cave and touched the mountain wall, and suddenly thought "It would be great if it was my own!" The idea of ​​smelting pure iron can be called a magic weapon, and it can be armed for the Tiangang Army, isn't it? Even more invincible.Zhao Yuansong suddenly approached the Ninth Prince and whispered in his ear for a long time.The Ninth Prince's eyes first disapproved, then hesitated a little, and finally became enlightened, and finally agreed with Zhao Yuansong's idea.

No one knew what they were discussing. Seeing Zhao Yuansong's smile, everyone guessed that he must have another plan.On the same day, the suspended mining work started secretly again, and truckloads of refined iron ore were transported to another hidden place for hiding.Feng Jingde quickly discovered the clue, and asked Zhao Yuansong, Zhao Yuansong winked at him cutely, "General, the third prince has been mining for so many days, but there is still half a car, and he has not smelted into iron ingots. At most, he has a private mine." The sin of the mine veins. So what, this place is quite close to Jishui County..."

Did Zhao Yuansong want to put a bigger hat on the third prince, help His Royal Highness completely eradicate the Jiang faction, and gain some benefits for himself by the way?

In terms of the loyal and patriotic nature of the Feng family, Feng Jingde only wants to be loyal to the emperor, and does not agree with starting to stand in line now.But in the future, the imperial power will change again and again. The Xiongnu will go south, the Nanyuan will raise troops, and the whole people in Beixuan will be in dire straits. Only when Tiangang is stronger, can more people be protected.

Feng Jingde acquiesced to Zhao Yuansong's approach, and turned around to supervise the defense arrangement of Wushaling as an excuse. In fact, Feige sent a letter to Feng Jingyan, who was dealing with the matter of removing armor and returning to farming in Jishui County, asking him to send someone to extract iron ore stone.

When Feng Jingyan got the news, he ordered soldiers immediately. In order to cooperate with Zhao Yuansong, they had to be more secretive.Feng Yulin, who was writing a book for his son and scolding his daughter for being unfaithful, filial and benevolent, almost slipped off his chair when he heard that Zhao Yuansong had brought dozens of carts of refined iron ore.This, this is really good!With the god soldiers made of refined iron in hand, not to mention the scimitars of the Huns, even the sabers of Da'ao, they can go up and fight directly.

Dozens of carts of fine iron ore, at least to say, can arm a vanguard army!Ah hee hee, ah hee hee hee, what a disgusting broken daughter, she can go wherever she likes, and when her brother finds her back, just give her a hard whip.Ouch, fine iron ore, magic weapon, my vanguard!

Feng Jingyan watched Feng Yulin throw away the family letter, and shook his head helplessly while holding the secret letter with a twitching face, thinking to himself: No wonder Feng Cuier is so disobedient, it turns out that no one cares about motherless children.

"The second young lady is really a man of gods. First, the vajra rattan armor and fire bombs, then the trade with Xiyi, and then the refined iron ore. What else can he bring us back?" Feng Yulin used to watch Zhao Yuansong has thousands of things that are not pleasing to the eye, and looking at it now, well, this little dude is not only smart, but also very skilled. The most important thing is that he often makes good things for the Tiangang Army, and he is about to turn the Tiangang Army into this piece of land. The most powerful army on the mainland.

In Wushaling, the refugees were appeased. Many people devoted themselves to the work of building the protective wall, and a small number of them were willing to return to their hometowns.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Suddenly, the soldiers beat the gong and rushed back from the sentry tower half a mile away, attracting a group of refugees to shout in panic.

Zhao Yuansong and the Ninth Prince got out of their tents at the same time, "What's going on?" Zhao Yuansong stopped the soldier who was beating the gong.

"My lord, there are Huns attacking from the north."

"Ah, run away, the Huns are coming!" The refugees who confirmed the truth panicked. They ran south from the newly formed defensive wall in the north, shouting constantly, and collided with the soldiers who had assembled urgently. The scene was very chaotic.
