Chapter 852 The female general who unarmed and married (21)
After Shi Jiang left, the servants tremblingly ran to Cui Concubine's yard and told her everything the nobleman said in the deposed prince's house.
"What did you say?"
Cui Lian stared at the servant dumbfounded. Originally, she had wondered if the general had an affair with His Highness at that time.
Now it seems that there is no personal relationship, it is clearly the enemy who killed his father.
Thinking back to what Jiang said when he left, her back suddenly became wet.
It's not that she thinks too much, but if she thinks about it from her perspective, if Shi Jiang is her father-killing enemy, she will definitely peel off Shi Jiang's tendons to relieve the hatred in her heart.
So, what did Shi Jiang mean by what he said to the deposed prince?
Cui Lian raised her hand, biting her nails fiercely, her eyes were stunned, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After Shi Jiang left the Abandoned Prince's Mansion, he returned to his own mansion.
Feng Linye gave her a mansion in the capital, but Shi Jiang felt that she would not be able to live in this mansion for more than a few days in her life.
Early the next morning, Shi Jiang entered the palace. After meeting Feng Linye, he left the capital with his men.
This made Feng Linye feel relieved involuntarily. After all, when the deposed prince woke up, he had to guard against some things.
Just as Feng Linye breathed a sigh of relief, there were also all the officials in the imperial court.
Every time these great men go to court, they feel unspeakably uncomfortable when a woman like Shi Jiang stands aside.
Now that Shi Jiang is finally gone, they don't have to be so reserved.
Before Shi Jiang arrived at Jingzhou, he received a letter from Chang Qing.
"General, is there something going on in Jingzhou?"
-Seeing how Shi Jiang's face changed after reading the letter from Fei Ge, her guard couldn't help but ask.
Unexpectedly, Shi Jiang laughed and nodded vigorously.
"It's true that something happened, a great thing."
After saying that, he shook the reins vigorously, and with a driving sound, the horse under him shot out like an arrow.
"Go back quickly, General Chang has come back with great news."
Chang Qing was also very excited. He didn't expect that what Shi Jiang said was actually true.
He not only found iron mines, but also copper mines and gold mines in the places designated by Shi Jiang.
This discovery made the hairs all over his body tremble.
With these, Jingzhou no longer needs to be under the control of the imperial court.
In order to send people to mine these ores as soon as possible, Chang Qing did not come back. Instead, he sent people to hire a group of migrant workers to mine.
In addition, he sent a letter to Shi Jiang Fei Ge to clarify the matter.
After Shi Jiang received the news, he rushed towards Jingzhou without stopping.
At the same time, I also replied to Chang Qing that as long as workers are willing to mine, they will be paid enough and their safety will be guaranteed.
As soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, he didn't have time to return to the Jiedushi's residence, so Shi Jiang went to the college first, looked for teachers in the college, and asked for a group of talents who had learned about smelting here.
Of course, Shi Jiang was not prepared to send people to the mine.
Instead, a blast furnace was built in a secret place outside Jingzhou City.
Steel swords are produced and smelted in blast furnaces.
When the soldiers in the army, one holding the previous iron sword and the other holding the new steel sword, when the two swords crossed with force, the iron sword was immediately cut to the ground, and the high and low were separated.
"If it were a knife, I'm afraid half of my arm would have to be given away."
Watching the battle between the soldiers, Shi Jiang's men took a deep breath and said.
Because of the fleets from the north and south, the prospects of the factories outside the city, and the constant flow of refined gold from Chang Qing, Shi Jiang's expenses were not a problem at all.
Even because of the bumper harvest of grain, Mr. Zhao has a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, making him smile.
These grains are all good things that can be turned into money. The more the merrier!
Because Mr. Zhao was happy, Shi Jiang's life was naturally much easier, and he no longer had to stare at him with endless resentment.
Of course, in addition to replacing equipment for the northern Shanxi army, Shi Jiang also did not forget about infrastructure.
Originally they were just roads leading outside Jingzhou City, but Shi Jiang directly began to build the main roads between Jingzhou City and several other cities.
Of course, it is not Guangjingzhou that starts building roads. All the cities that want to be connected to Jingzhou City must also start building roads from their cities to Jingzhou City.
After planning the route, start work on both sides at the same time, and when they meet in the middle, they can be combined together.
In this way, the time for road construction is greatly reduced.
At the same time, the speed of travel between the two cities was increased.
According to the usual mountain roads and dirt roads that are full of potholes and have to climb mountains and cross ridges, it will take at least ten days and a half.
Nowadays, the straight-line road has been built, and it takes no more than five days to walk there, which is really convenient.
Starting from Jingzhou, all cities began to do this.
The road was repaired and more and more horse-drawn carriages came and went.
With trade, the economy of cities everywhere naturally began to flourish.
In just a few years, not only Jingzhou developed rapidly, but also the cities around Jingzhou were led by Jingzhou. Both tax revenue and the living standards of the people in the city have been greatly improved.
Feng Linye naturally received the news sent back by the spy. He pressed his hand on the letter and breathed out after a while.
After all, Shi Jiang did nothing else except doing a very good job in local government affairs.
Therefore, the top priority now is not to target Shi Jiang, but to target the courtiers up and down the court who want to manipulate him.
Similarly, Feng Linye's decision was quickly placed on Shi Jiang's desk.
Regarding Feng Linye's choice, Shi Jiang smiled and didn't say much.
After all, you don't need so much nonsense when dealing with smart people.
However, the news that came back this time was not only about Feng Linye's decision, but also about the deposed prince.
Feng Linqi finally woke up, but the bedsores on his back had rotted into his bones, making it impossible for him to stand up normally.
If he was in a coma, he wouldn't feel the pain, but now, every time he turned over, it would make him miserable.
The physical pain, coupled with the huge gap after being deposed, made Feng Linqi's temper extremely bad.
Cui Lian tolerated his bad temper again and again, and finally she couldn't stand it anymore.
Every day someone gave Feng Linqi a bird's nest to replenish his health.
However, within two or three months, Feng Linqi's body became more and more weak, and finally he began to vomit blood, and then died suddenly.
Just when Cui Lian thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, people from Dali Temple came and put her in prison.
The servants in the deposed prince's palace confessed that Concubine Cui poisoned the deposed prince to death.
Although the deposed prince has been deposed, he is still the prince. Therefore, Cui Lian was sentenced to execution based on the solid evidence.
Seeing the fate of Feng Linqi and Cui Lian, Shi Jiang just sighed with emotion and put the matter behind him.
After all, she still has a lot of serious things waiting for her to do!
