My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

A sentence flashed through Mr. Dongfang's mind: The Qin family's existing mineral resources are enough to support Yanyun County's financial expenses.

However, based on his own position, he did not point out that the Qin family had the advantage of the mountains and rivers, but said: "As far as the official knows, many of Yanyun County's unrealistic policies came from Mrs. Qin's mouth. General Qin imitated the beacon fire and played with the princes, and he was willing to give the entire county's jurisdiction to his wife to do whatever she wanted."

Zhou Mu suddenly realized: "I'm just telling you, how could someone cancel so many taxes and spend a lot of money to build a city? It turns out it's just to make Beauties smile. That Mrs. Qin is really extraordinary."

Mr. Dongfang smiled and nodded, murmuring in his heart: Not only is it extraordinary, he is like a god!

Behind all the advanced technologies of the Qin family, she has her shadow.

If the Qin family could mass-produce refined iron and equip all their troops with refined iron weapons, their combat effectiveness would be at its peak.

Without Mr. Dongfang mentioning the mineral veins, Zhou Mu thought of this himself: "Their iron ore and coal mines must come from Yanyun Mountain. Send people to explore that mountain range to find other mineral veins."

"According to reports from people looking for coal mines, the Qin family not only put up thorn fences around the edge of the county government office, but also did this in the Yanyun Mountains. On the high mountains within the radiation range of the county, they planted patches of thorny plants to prevent The nomads in the north are crossing the mountains to carry out sneak attacks, and it is difficult for our people to enter the mountain boundary."

Nowadays, a city wall is built in a dangerous area of ​​Youzhou to resist the invasion of nomadic foreign enemies.

The Qin family didn't have that much manpower to build the city wall, so they found another way to use plants as a defense. It was not unwise.

Zhou Mu clicked his tongue and asked in confusion: "Where did they find so many thorny plants? And the strange thing is that even if they are transplanted in the middle of winter, they can still survive!"

He had seen those fences, and there were many roses and vine roses blooming among them, making the fences lively and beautiful.

These are all varieties that are extremely rare to see in the north, but the Qin family can grow a large circle of them!

"Perhaps they discovered the flower forest in a deep mountain jungle?" Mr. Dongfang guessed casually, and he was also puzzled.

They stared at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Su Yunwan lay on the rocking chair in the courtyard, put away her recreational books, and listened to Qin Junyi, who had just returned.

Suddenly, the comfortable and casual expression on her face froze, she looked at Qin Junyi closely and said, "You mean, my father and your second uncle came to Youzhou together?"

"Yes, I just received the message..."

It turned out that the Qin family's troops first encountered many large and small riots along the way, and then entered the severe winter and heavy snow blocked the road, and were forced to stay in inns along the way to celebrate the New Year.

The Su family, who had been exiled but had not arrived in Youzhou for a long time, was chasing after them all the way. It didn't take long before many frail female family members fell ill, among which the old lady of the Su family was the most seriously ill.

Su's father was a filial son, and he strongly requested to stop the car to recuperate.

The leader of the escort was the emperor, and he knew that Su's father had important matters. If Mrs. Su died of illness on the road, Su's father would definitely hold a grudge, and it was not certain whether he could still be used by the emperor.

He could not bear this responsibility and had to slow down and stop.

Later, they encountered the same difficulties and obstacles as the Qin family's large army, and stopped at the same inn as the Qin family's large army.

Since the Su family were considered in-laws, Uncle Qin intervened forcefully and rescued the Su family from the escort officials.

Dozens of officials were unable to resist thousands of troops, so they had no choice but to stand aside and stare.

In this way, Su's father became Uncle Qin's guest and spent the Spring Festival together in the inn.

After the beginning of spring, Uncle Qin moved several carriages for the Su family to ride. The official followed the team in an empty prison carriage and set off in a grand way. They will arrive in Youzhou soon.

Su Yunwan listened to Qin Junyi's words:...

As early as a few months ago when she secretly went to the capital, she learned that her mother's family was exiled to Youzhou.

She didn't want to have any contact with her natal family anymore, and she also made up her mind to let Mr. Dongfang operate behind the scenes to move the Su family far away from Yanyun County.

Now that the Su family and the Qin family are traveling together, they will definitely come to Beiling Village together.

It's easy to ask the gods but hard to send them away, but there is such a blood relationship.

It would be great if she was just a time-traveling girl who came from the end of the world.

As soon as the idea occurred to her, she rejected it immediately.

If she were an out-and-out time travel girl, she would definitely not be able to adapt to this feudal society that was extremely harsh on women.

Without the love from the past life, he would definitely not be exiled with the Qin family.

Then she should be floating around like duckweed, and she might also make countless enemies because of her cynicism.

Even if she wasn't afraid at all, it would be difficult for her to be in such a peaceful state of mind now.

That's all, soldiers will come to block it, water will come and earth will cover it.

Anyway, all the family affection had disappeared long ago when his father exchanged her for political resources, treated her as an abandoned son, and allowed her to be exiled with the Qin family.

As long as she doesn't want to, no one can kidnap her.

Qin Junyi sat beside her and pushed the broken hair from her forehead to one side: "Wanwan, don't worry, I won't let anyone disturb you."

"Then it's up to you." Su Yunwan smiled, and with his silent companionship, the wooden chair slowly rocked, and she fell asleep unconsciously.

Qin Junyi quietly entered the room, took out a thin blanket, and covered her body.

Then he walked out of the yard and asked Qin Jun to offer him a certain amount of compensation, and moved the few indigenous people of Beiling Village to nearby villages.

Sun Baihu's family, as early as when the conflict between the Qin family and the government intensified, and Qin Mu "forced" him to sell the land and annex it, they took the money and moved the whole family to the site of Shangfeng.

Zhao Lizheng was recruited by Chu Yi as a household clerk, responsible for household registration management, and became one of Chu Yi's important assistants. His family couldn't bear him being alone in the county seat, so they simply moved the family to the county seat.

The remaining families secretly did not want to leave, but they did not dare to mess around in front of the Qin family. In the end, after obtaining more subsidies, they reluctantly left.

Chu Shao saw the Qin family's actions, thought for a moment, and decided to lead the whole family to move to the county seat.

After Qin Junyi learned about it, he asked them to divide the official land in the inner city into private land and gave them generous resettlement fees.

Since then, the entire Beiling Village has completely become the territory of the Qin family.

All the villagers in the outer city of Yanyun County had already moved to the inner city. In the large open space left behind, apart from Qin Mu's newly formed Qianhu Army, there were only Qin Junyi's 8,000 personal barracks and thousands of skirmisher camps that had defected.

These two camps, one close and one far away, were stationed in the village next to Beiling Village, forming a defensive posture.

Many days later, I heard that the weather was calm and sunny, and the Qin family's large army was about to arrive at the border of Youzhou.
