"Look here, the roots of the vines must be preserved and then planted."

"This is a serious disaster. First, soak the knife in alcohol to disinfect it. Be careful when cutting. Turn the seedlings on top upwards and bury them in the soil to expose the seedlings."

…

In Liangshan, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong stood beside the terraces, facing many old farmers. He personally demonstrated how to separate a sweet potato seedling with roots. Shi Xiu, a desperate man, threw his arms into battle and cut the sprouts with a knife sterilized by alcohol.

Potatoes, leading many veteran farmers to plant sweet potatoes.

When the weather gets warmer, the sweet potatoes in the cellar are the first to sprout. After the sweet potatoes are planted, a large number of seedlings are raised, and the potatoes also sprout one after another. There has been abundant rain recently, which is a good time for sowing. Thousands of laborers from Liangshan have come.

Three military strategists, including sick pharmacist Xiao Jiasui, Sai Xiao He, Wen Huanzhang, and Xiao Zhangliang and Xu Guanzhong, were present. The flower monk Lu Zhishen, the leopard head Lin Chong, the golden gunner Xu Ning, the dragon slayer Sun An, and Sai Zhijie Bian Xiang were all present.

They witnessed this moment in person!

Just because Chao Gai mentioned it at the military meeting that it was of concern to the people of the world. Not only did they see it, everyone stepped forward to help and planted it with their own hands.

There is strength in numbers!

Hundreds of acres of terraced fields reclaimed in Liangshan were planted in just one morning. More than a thousand acres of land around Chaojiazhuang were also planted with sweet potato vines. Due to the lack of potato seedlings, only about one-third of the land was occupied.

Even so, as long as you take good care of it, the rewards will be amazing.

Chaojiazhuang's decision-makers and generals were somewhat aware of this and were looking forward to it.

As for the outside world, no one knew that this was the beginning of a change in the situation.

Some are happy, some are sad.

The three battalions of forbidden troops stationed outside the city have been under surveillance since the day they arrived. There are at least two to three thousand guards camped on the left and right sides. On the surface, they are accompanying friendly troops, but in fact they are monitoring and keeping an eye on them at all times.

As long as these foreign soldiers dare to cause trouble, they will be suppressed.

If he dares to go to Jeju, Shandong Province and act violently, no one will tolerate him.

Many veterans are stubborn and refuse to change their bad habits. They habitually refuse to pay for meals and are inevitably beaten. They try to bully the people and are beaten until their teeth are everywhere.

Zhao Dujian, a member of Tong Guan's family in the Privy Council, wanted to favor his subordinates, but he was an unjust and unjust man. Not to mention that he was not welcome in Chaojiazhuang, he seemed to be unable to get along in Jeju. He had no excuses and nowhere to vent his anger.

Very depressed.

Cai Qianban, who was sent by Cai Jing, was in a similar situation. He was settled in a luxurious restaurant. He had no worries about accommodation, food and drink, but that was all. There were no privileges, no one to fawn over, and no one-stop service.

It's like sitting on a cold bench, being unwelcome and not knowing when to return.

So these two people were depressed for more than half a month, and they came to the door again: "Mr. Wu, when will King Chao Tian return? Isn't he hiding from us? He is not here every time, and he obviously avoids us on purpose. What is his intention?

"

Wu Yong had just finished dealing with the sweet potatoes and potatoes, and when he saw these two people coming together with unkind expressions, he knew what they were doing when they stuck their butts out.

He had a gentle smile on his face, like he had been friends for many years: "You two are joking! My brother came back from the north. But he received an invitation to go to another place, and he will probably come back in the near future. You two are

They are the upper class people of Bianliang City, and the mountains and plains are full of glory..."

The basics of these two guys have long been found out by Bianliang City and they have a thorough understanding. The one named Zhao still has some background and has some connections with relatives of the emperor. Cai Qianban has followed the trend and has been around for many years.

to this location.

If you know yourself and the enemy, you will naturally have a way to deal with it!

Dealing with such people is nothing more than dragging, bragging, and coaxing.

Wu Yong twirled his feather fan to enjoy the coolness, and with his sharp tongue, he praised the two people's talents, making them dizzy and forgetful.

"Zhao Dujian, as a general, must first restrain the soldiers under his command. He is not gathering people to gamble, and he is not in need of the people. He should train well and prepare for the attack on Liangshan in the near future, and even the Northern Expedition in the future. Master Dujian does not seize the time to train his troops.

, how can you go to the battlefield and make military exploits?"

Superintendent Zhao still knew how to use weapons to some extent, and he also knew some military tactics. He hesitated several times but had nothing to say, so he rubbed his teeth and left.

As for Cai Gan, just give me a wine bag and rice bag!

Wu Yong felt that it was necessary to give some advice and turn waste into treasure! Speaking with facts, he invited this person to visit several market towns in Chaojiazhuang and outside.

Chaojiazhuang is still in the stage of rapid development and has become a famous trade city. With the influx of people from the north and refugees from all over the country, the population continues to grow. There are more troops and hired workers in the city, and the construction of the city wall is coming to an end.

The market towns outside the city are also more prosperous.

The Jinsha River Terminal has been expanding during this period and is divided into civilian and military terminals. Ships of various sizes come and go from the two piers in an endless stream. The grain trade in Bianliang City has slowed down a lot, and fleets full of grain are arriving every now and then.

Arrival trade. Merchant ships laden with goods gathered.

The cattle and sheep livestock trading market not far away is becoming more and more prosperous with the stability. Many poor people from the surrounding areas have come to settle down, reclaim the fertile land in the surrounding area, or accept and help take care of the livestock to form a market.

Wu Yong led Cai Ganban back to the city again and asked with a smile.

"Cai Qianban, how is the development of Chaojiazhuang?"

"It's very prosperous. It's hard to imagine that it's only been half a year." Cai Qianban nodded repeatedly. Although he wanted to talk about a small place in the countryside, he was really shocked.

"Chaojiazhuang is making money every day. Is Cai Qianban interested?"

"Oh, Mr. Wu, this is exactly why I came here, Master Cai..."

"No, no, no, I said you, not the Grand Master. For example, Wang Yuan of this province was originally just a staff member. Because he was smart, he had close business contacts with Chaojiazhuang. He earned thousands of gold a month and managed everything. He was about to take up an official position.

"

During the question and answer, Wu Yong smiled meaningfully and took Fatty Wang as an example. Cai Qianban was horrified and exclaimed, "Oh, such a thing can happen"? He seemed to have seen a broad road, but he couldn't understand it.

"Cai Ganban, you are only in your thirties. Running errands is not a long-term solution. You should think about yourself. As long as you have money, don't panic."

When Cai Ganban heard Wu Yong's words, he felt that his thinking became clearer and made sense. Although there are seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister, subordinates are still subordinates after all. But with real money and silver, it is different. It is managed up and down, buying officials and selling titles.

.

Mr. Wu left in a hurry, and the echoing words made him wake up like a dream: "Brother, to achieve great things, you must have a pattern and not be limited to trivial matters. While waiting with peace of mind, walk around the city more and see more, what is suitable and what is suitable for you?

The money comes quickly, and it will not be too late to discuss it carefully after King Chao Tian returns!"

Cai Qianban repeatedly said yes. At this moment, he had an epiphany!

The reason why Wu Yong left Cai Ganban and left was because soldiers came flying to report. The latest information came from Bianliang City. When they arrived at the underground secret room of Chaojiazhuang, Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong

Wait here.

"Old Wu, come and take a look at this." Xiao Jiasui handed over a note.

Wu Yong took it and spread it out to see that there were only a dozen words on it. Liu Yanqing took more than ten people to bid farewell to the officials and rushed to Hedong to prepare for the suppression of Tian Hu.

"What happened in the morning will be taken action within half a month."

"The imperial court's response was very fast. It took just over a month to complete." Wu Yong folded the note and put it in a special box to seal it.

"Do you want to contact the master and report the situation?"

"It's not necessary. Tian Hu is a grass-headed king after all, so he should have some tricks."

"I also think that Tian Hu has great ambitions but few talents, but he has wise men under his command. Our information has been sent out and we are prepared to prevent him from being destroyed."

"It's better to be like this, otherwise Liangshan will move."

In the secret room, several military advisors discussed matters and laughed constantly.

At the same time, military meetings were also held at the Qinyuan County government offices in Weishengzhou and Qinyuan County on Hedong Road. Since Tian Hu occupied the county seat for three or two months, he was reluctant to leave and did not want to go back to the mountains. He directly occupied the city and the government office served as the headquarters.

"What do you brothers think of the information from Liangshan?"

Tian Hu was sitting in the central seat with a golden sword. At this time, he was not the Caotou King without the arrogance. If something happened, the brothers discussed it together. They took out the information sent by Chaojiazhuang in the name of Liangshan and took a look at the more than ten leaders on the left and right.

.

The intelligence contained detailed information on Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun, as well as information that the imperial court mobilized 10,000 Hedong troops to encircle and suppress them.

"Uh..." A fair-skinned scholar on the left stroked his small black beard and said, "Although Liangshan has never contacted us before, we both belong to the Jianghu Green Forest. The imperial court sent troops to suppress us, fearing that after our defeat, the imperial court would turn around and

We will attack Liangshan. From this we can infer that the news is true."

The first big man on the right nodded in agreement: "I agree with Master Fang's words. The imperial court must be anxious to break through the prefectural government office and plunder the treasury. Recently, minions who have been snooping around have come to report. The imperial army has been mobilized frequently, Zhaode

Forbidden troops are gradually gathering around the city, and they are here for us."

With these two people taking the lead, everyone else in the hall spoke up and expressed their opinions.

"Yes, Military Advisor Fang has long said that attacking the city will definitely alert the court. Liangshan is relatively close to Bianliang City, so it is normal to get the news."

"Shuibo Liangshan is now in a difficult position to protect itself. It encounters Chao Gai, the king of Shandong. You said that Chao Gai wants to make friends with the world's heroes, why are you so desperate?"

"Your family was attacked and dozens of people were killed. Will you be angry and fight with Liangshan? I can only say that Wang Lun, the scholar in white, is short-sighted."

"Now I'm sending someone to send a message to the king. I guess he wants us to support you."

"Hahaha, that's right. Let's defeat the champion first."

…

The chatter and laughter in the yamen were so noisy that the officers and soldiers were not taken seriously.

Tian Hu's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He shouted and waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. He looked at another message on the note and then looked at the scribe on his left.

"Military advisor, the matter of selling private salt..."

"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent," the military man surnamed Fang waved his hand, and then smiled confidently: "We will think about it after we defeat the army."

"Yes, yes, the military advisor is right!" Tian Hu nodded and looked at everyone: "Zhi Niang, what should we do if the court comes to destroy us?"

"What the hell! I'm afraid of him."

"Your Majesty, I, Dong Cheng, am willing to be the pioneer."

"Even so, I am willing to take my children and conquer another city."

There are more than ten leaders, big and small, in the hall. Who wouldn’t have confidence in themselves? Now that they have this opportunity, no one flinches, and everyone shouts to fight and kill.
Chapter completed!
