When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

Although Linshan County is located in the border area, it is not directly adjacent to other countries. There is a large mountain range in the middle, and the nearest exit is also near Jianingguan. General wars basically do not affect here, but when the war broke out, life became more difficult. The point is that there is no escape.

Once the war in the southwest area officially starts, many refugees will flood inland. Compared with other border areas, Linshan County is much more stable and not far away, so it has become one of the targets for people to go to. .In addition to the chaos caused by the war, the circulation of goods is not smooth, and people's overall living standards will drop a lot. At that time, the prices of materials that are not produced locally will skyrocket.Rising prices, coupled with the increase in rioters, under the double influence, the people's life will not be too easy.

This is the situation that Linshan County, which does not have direct contact with neighboring countries, may face. Those who live along the line from Jianing Pass to Zhenning Pass will only suffer even more.

It's just that these things are beyond Fang Tianlin's control. What he can do is to protect his own people, and there is nothing he can do about the others.

It's not that modern weapons cannot be manufactured, but the problem is what to do after they are manufactured. Is it really necessary to lead people to rebel?The key is that Fang Tianlin doesn't have many people in his hands. Even if he holds a large number of advanced weapons, unless he can resist thousands of people with his own strength, the Shen family will be like a child wandering the street with gold bricks. Anyone can covet and bully, not to mention with the Shen family's current production technology, it is impossible to mass-produce hot weapons in a short period of time.

It's useless to think so much. Instead, at least take Linshan County first, and face the anger from the two frontier guards, General Gao and General Su. Before the chaos reaches a certain level, doing so is tantamount to Hitting a stone with an egg, even if the Shen family's triplets are blood relatives to the Su family, I'm afraid General Su will put this aside and kill their relatives righteously.

Therefore, these thoughts only flashed through Fang Tianlin's mind like a fleeting moment, without any lingering.He is still sane, taking such a risk may ruin the Shen family, at least now he will not act like this.

After some thought, Fang Tianlin asked: "General Guan, the Shen family has stationed many people in Yanzhou City. Are the fleet and caravan all right?"

"I didn't have it when I came here, but Yanzhou Port is closed, and it is only open at the specified time. There are many fewer foreigners, especially those from neighboring countries. They are all sent back to the country. Take him as a spy and put him in prison."

Fang Tianlin's face sank: "The situation along the coast is so serious?"

"That's not true. Yanzhou Port is quite special. It belongs to the border port. It is a last resort. For Yanzhou City, the closure of the port is no different from cutting off an arm. I'm afraid Zhizhou is so distressed that he can't sleep well at night."

Fang Tianlin also agrees with this point.Port cities rely on maritime trade. Without this income, tax revenue will drop a lot immediately. The originally prosperous market will soon shrink. Seeing that there is no profit, those who come here will naturally Slowly dissipating, Yanzhou City will usher in the most difficult time.

However, since it is a border port, this kind of thing must have happened more than once, but not every governor will encounter it, and the current governor can only be counted as bad luck.

The port is only blocked regularly, and the sea is not completely banned. This news is still within the scope of Fang Tianlin's acceptance, but it is a pity that the effect of the newly opened business road may be greatly reduced.Fang Tianlin didn't regret it at all. With such a relatively safe transportation line, the logistics supply of the Jianing Pass and Zhenning Pass defenders would be more guaranteed, and the chances of the two passes being breached would also be greatly reduced, and the Shen family would be even more vulnerable. Safety.

To fight a war is to fight against the comprehensive strength of a country. If the imperial court can't reach it, it has to rely on the own capabilities of the guards on all sides.

Usually, this newly opened business road will not come in handy, and Fang Tianlin only thinks of it as a precaution.Everyone knew that if the border gates were broken, no matter how remote Linshan County was, they would still be unable to escape the devastation of the enemy. Providing necessary supplies to the border guards was tantamount to saving themselves.

After making the plan, Fang Tianlin's expression returned to normal, and he directly proposed: "General Guan, you came by coincidence, today is the day when Xinghuo Village was completed, and there is a banquet outside, come, come with me to the banquet. By the way, you Are the soldiers under your command brought into the village to use them together, or are they bringing the food and wine to the camp outside the village?"

"Then Guan will be disrespectful." General Guan was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "It is fine for my subordinates to eat outside the village. On behalf of my subordinates, I would like to thank Master Fang for his hospitality."

"General Guan, we are already acquaintances, so you don't need to be so polite with me." When he entered the village, Fang Tianlin had already ordered the cook to prepare a few more tables of wine and food, and it should be ready soon.

The two chatted and laughed as they headed to the central square of the village. The further they walked, the more frightened General Guan became. What he saw along the way just now was beyond his expectations, and the shock was even greater now.

With the cobblestone pavement, green brick and tile houses, unified planning, and many local dignitaries in the central square, General Guan has a new understanding of the Shen family.He didn't know much about the situation in Linshan County, but he knew well about the Shen family that Xinghuo Village didn't even have a thatched hut when he came last year. In just a short time, several rows of houses have been built, and there is even a trading street. , I heard that there is a workshop area on the other side of the village. Can this be in a village?

This time General Guan brought a lot of people, and he was accompanied by a lieutenant general and a few low-level officers. The soldiers did not enter the village. He brought these people and his personal guards with him. Fang Tianlin introduced General Guan and his party to the audience. everyone.

Hearing the identities of these people, the expressions of the landowners and squires in Linshan County changed slightly, and there were quite a few people who approached them to make connections.

General Guan never refuses anyone who comes. Of course, it is impossible to make him approachable. Anyway, General Guan's rank is several ranks higher than that of Mo Zhixian, the highest official present. Being too enthusiastic will make people look down upon.

If it wasn't for the Shen family's face, and the fact that the Zhenning Pass guards might have to rely on them to provide material support in the future, there would be no intersection between the two sides at all.

During the meeting, everyone talked happily, if one ignores the words of those who inquired about General Guan's purpose.

After the luncheon, the opening ceremonies of various shops followed, among which the Shen's shop was the most, accounting for half of the shops on Trading Street.Of course, most of these shops belong to Fang Tianlin's family, and there are only a few shops opened by the rest of the Shen family.

When the auspicious time came, all the shops lit firecrackers at the same time, and the whole trading street was so loud that the two people who were so close could not hear clearly unless they spoke loudly.

Not to mention that the people of Linshan County had never seen such a spectacular sight, even General Guan and the others had a look of surprise in their eyes.

"General Guan, please." After going through the opening ceremony procedure, Fang Tianlin led the way.He deliberately didn't tell General Guan about the items produced by the workshop before, just to give him a surprise.

As expected, General Guan was indeed shocked, and joy followed.White sugar is okay, although the price is not low, it is not considered a luxury. Soap can only be used by rich people. Two, this is only the local price. If it is sold to other counties, the price will only be higher.

These only surprised General Guan, but he was not happy. Ordinary soldiers could not afford these things, and it had nothing to do with them. What surprised him was the wide variety of canned food, whether it was vegetables, fruits or canned fish, which were urgently needed in the army. thing.

Zhenningguan has four seasons all year round. Except for the cool winter, the temperature in the other three seasons is not low. Fresh fish and meat are unaffordable, and vegetables and fruits can be supplied when they are not in battle. When marching and fighting, they can only dig wild vegetables and fruits to deal with it. After all, if you are lucky, you can even catch wild game. If you are unlucky, you can only eat dry food.

Those small sea fish are cheap. Unfortunately, the weather in Yanzhou Port is hot, so they can only be stored as dry goods, and most of them are pickled products.These dried seafood are full of fishy smell, and most people are really not used to that taste, but when there is no meat to eat, no matter how unpalatable it is, people will rush to ask for it.

But even for such cheap items, the army can only supply some of them every once in a while, and some troops with a stingy general can hardly even see the smell of meat all year round.

After General Guan tasted the canned vegetables, fruits and fish, the smile on his face no longer changed to a sad one.This looks like a good thing, at least it is much better than those cheap seafood that are dry, hard, and full of salty taste, and the price is definitely not low if you count the cans and bottles. Such things are not affordable for soldiers like them ?

Fang Tianlin knew what General Guan was thinking. Indeed, these canned foods were not cheap. Even if they gave them a discounted price, it would be impossible for the entire army to eat them, at least for now.But these can be used as standing supplies for elite troops, and with sufficient nutrition, their combat power can at least be improved.

After browsing the market from beginning to end, Fang Tianlin led General Guan into his study.

"General Guan, the cost of transporting canned food from our side to Zhenning Pass is too high, and canned meat is barely feasible. After all, the prices in Linshan County are lower than those in Zhenning Mansion, but vegetables, fruits and fish are not worth it. I think otherwise. , I will have someone transport a set of small equipment to Yanzhou City, and you will send someone to protect it, and the canned food needed by the troops will be sold to you at a price [-]% higher than the cost price, what do you think?"

General Guan readily agreed, this time, Mr. Su gave him a lot of authority, like Fang Tianlin's proposal, he can make the decision.

After solving one matter, Fang Tianlin took out a few small paper packages from the desk drawer, which looked similar to a piece of miniature brick, and said, "General Guan, the price of canned food is high, and everyone can't get a copy. You soldiers are tailor-made, you break open and taste."

"What is this?" General Guan was very curious. He had visited the entire trading street just now, but he had never seen this item.

"Try it before you talk."

Fang Tianlin sold Guanzi with great interest, seeing that General Guan was really itchy.But the other party made it clear that he would not tell him now, so General Guan had no choice but to be respectful rather than obedient, and tore open the paper bag. He didn't recognize what it was for a while, so he broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth to chew.
