Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Due to the wanton propaganda of the Pingzhou navy, the common people in Dali also learned about this new thing called honeycomb coal.

Just as Lu Songli, Xie Zhan and others expected, the appeal of affordable honeycomb coal is unparalleled in this extremely cold winter.

After the people learned about honeycomb briquettes, they had a very heated discussion about it.

"Have you heard? Pingzhou has developed something called honeycomb coal, which is very effective for heating."

"Yes, and the key is that they are cheap."

"Governor Lu is truly righteous. He would rather not make any money for the sake of the people under his rule." The people of Dali believe that Lu Songli does not make any money, but then how can he make any profit if he only sells a piece of honeycomb coal for two cents?

"It's a pity that they don't sell it to the public, they only supply it to the people of Pingzhou."

"This is easy. We just need to become citizens of Pingzhou."

"Move to Pingzhou? But the government may not give us a permit."

"Yes, and if we move our family to Pingzhou, the government will not allow us to sell the land. So do we not want our land anymore?" The few acres of land in the family were saved by two or three generations of them through frugality. It would be a pity to abandon them.

"As for farming, you can farm anywhere. Let's wait until this winter is over before we talk about it."

"It's just after the heavy snow, and there's still the winter solstice and the Lesser and Greater Cold to come. It's going to be very cold."

"Indeed, it's not uncommon for people to freeze to death in such cold weather." If you're going to lose your life, who would care about material possessions like land?

Anyway, just survive first.

"I heard that there is a kind of glass bottle sold in Pingzhou. Pour hot water into it and put it in the quilt. It will warm you up, just like a hot water bottle."

"Is this glass bottle expensive?" Hot water bottles are used by nobles.

"It's not expensive, it's very cheap, ordinary people can afford it." The people of Dali discussed the matter of moving to Pingzhou naturally.

In recent years, Pingzhou's many benevolent policies have also made the people of Dali familiar with them. In their hearts, Governor Lu is a good governor, which is why they made up their minds and did not resist and were willing to come all the way to Pingzhou.

Countless people went north and poured into Pingzhou. Qin Heng ordered people to open the city gates to welcome them and set up several reception points.

Officials were quickly dispatched from the rear of Pingzhou to take over, welcome the influx of Dali people, and properly accommodate them.

The Dali government along the way did not dare to stop the waves of people heading north to Pingzhou. They did try to stop them, but the people heading north were very angry and almost caused local riots on several occasions.

At this time, the common people had only one thought: anyone who stopped them from going to Pingzhou did not care about their life or death and wanted to kill their family.

Zhou Da led his troops to maintain order. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the governor's methods of fighting for the world were indeed unique.

Before that, he asked General Qin Heng for orders, saying that he was willing to be the vanguard and lead an army to attack Yongzhou and Chang'an, and he was willing to issue a military order. As long as he was given enough troops and enough food, he would take Chang'an for the general and the governor!

Chang'an was the capital of the Li Kingdom, and the symbolic significance of taking Chang'an was self-evident. But the general refused, saying that this was also the governor's intention.

They didn't care about these formal things. Attacking Yongzhou and Chang'an were too sensitive and would inevitably lead to Dali's desperate counterattack.

By then, the casualties on both sides would be difficult to control. Then the general said,

"I won't move unless the enemy does. If Dali doesn't take the initiative to attack us, we'll have to wait and see the outcome of the Xianbei battlefield." Looking at the Dali people who were swarming in front of him, Zhou Da felt that the governor and the general were right.

Hancheng Tuoba Lian looked tiredly in the direction of the Xianbei royal city Shengle. Previously, he and his second brother Tuoba Jin led all the Xianbei warriors in Yanzhou City to pass through Dali, hoping to bypass the blockade of Pingzhou and return to the embrace of the grassland.

Unexpectedly, their whereabouts were leaked, and they were ambushed by Sun's army. The second brother Tuoba Jin died in that ambush.

Later, he had no choice but to retreat to Hancheng with the remnants of his troops. Now they were blocked by Sun's army and besieged in Hancheng.

Tuoba Lian didn't know who leaked their whereabouts, but he guessed that something must have gone wrong in Dali, and there must be spies from Pingzhou hiding among them.

From the beginning, he hoped that his father Khan would send an army after learning the news from his side, and then they would work together inside and outside to break through the encirclement of Sun's army and escape.

But as time passed, Tuoba Lian's heart became heavier and heavier. He cried out in his heart, "Father Khan, my son can't hold on any longer. Please send someone to rescue him."

At this moment, there was another eagle cry, and then things kept falling from the sky. Tuoba Lian looked up,

"what is that?"

"Is it paper?" It was light and yellowish-white, so it must be paper. From their angle, they could see the paper on the eagle's back falling from the sky and scattering into the city.

"Send someone to check it out." Tuoba Lian ordered, his face extremely heavy. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Not long after, the team that went to check came back with a stack of papers.

"Seventh Prince, let's pick up everything we can. I wonder if any of the warriors in the army have picked up anything." Tuoba Lian looked at the pieces of paper. There were pictures on them, all of which were food and objects familiar to the Xianbei people, or inflammatory words written in Xianbei language, such as "Dad, my child and I miss you very much in our hometown: When will you come back?" Tuoba Lian didn't know the intention of Pingzhou's move, but he still subconsciously felt that he needed to get rid of it.

"Go and arrange for personnel to strengthen patrols in the city and deal with these scattered papers."

"Yes." Tuoba Lian didn't know that some Xianbei soldiers had secretly hidden the scattered papers. After reading the contents of the papers, they broke through the defense in an instant and blew up the camp in the cold and hungry winter night.

The final result was that the fortress was destroyed from within by the enemy, and Tuoba Lian and the remaining Xianbei soldiers became prisoners of Pingzhou.

The situation of a large number of people from Chang'an going north to Pingzhou to make a living was reported to the court by local governments, and they asked the court how to respond.

Xie Zhan sighed. The sky is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and the common people have grown feet, so who can control where they go?

"Regent, we can't sell our charcoal at all." Liao Xuewang and others were at a loss as to what to do in the face of the unsaleable charcoal.

Xie Zhan said calmly,

"Then give it away! Give it to the people for free, in fixed quantities and at regular times." Liao Xuewang and other people from the Royal Merchant Group felt their hearts bleed when they heard this, as they were bound to lose all their money.

There is no way. Although Pingzhou has no charcoal, the low-priced honeycomb coal has squeezed out the charcoal market.

After Xie Zhan finished speaking, he comforted Liao Xuewang and others with a few words.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine once we pass this stage." Liao Xuewang and others didn't know what Xie Zhan was thinking at this moment, but since things had come to this point, they could only believe in the promise of Xie Zhan, the regent.

Fan Yang knew that the Regent was trying to snatch people from Pingzhou, but the amount of charcoal they had was not enough to cover the entire population of Dali through the winter.

Faced with this situation, Xie Zhan thought about it and decided to allocate a large portion of charcoal to the people of Yizhou in addition to Chang'an to ensure their supply for the winter.

Xie Zhan believed that after a winter, Yizhou was the state with the least number of people leaving because of its mountainous location and difficulty in traveling, and with the supply of affordable charcoal.

"Send Xu Junfan to do this." Xie Zhan ordered. Fan Yang was puzzled. Some time ago, the Empress Dowager and the Regent were fighting for power, and most of the civil and military officials chose sides and camps. Xu Junfan defected at that time.

But he didn't find any outstanding talents in the other party, so how did he catch the eye of the Regent?

But Xie Zhan didn't say much. Fan Yang thought, OK, Xu Junfan is a clerk in the Cangbu Department, it's ok to promote him to take on this important task.
