There were five candidates, and Lin Dajing was one of them.
He didn't want to come up at first, but thinking about the growth of the wheat seedlings in the past few months, he felt that maybe he could do more things for His Highness as the head of the farm.
After observation and comparison, the difference between the experimental field and the ordinary field is obvious.
Not to mention Lin Dajing, even the other farmers can see the difference.
The result of the vote was expected by all Lin Dajing.
One is because he is really honest and honest, and he is decent; the other is that he keeps learning, and now he knows a lot of characters, and his prestige in the hearts of the farmers is getting higher; the third is that he is valued by His Highness, and the people who are valued by His Highness are naturally valued by the farmers.
In this way, Lin Dajing was promoted to the new Zhuangtou.
He blushed excitedly, and said to Wei Si: "Mr. Ah Zhi, the villain is today thanks to your teaching."
He practiced calligraphy with A Zhi, and under the guidance of A Zhi, he wrote the records neatly and clearly.
If there is no Ah Zhi, he must be blind and unable to do what His Highness told him.
Therefore, he has always respected Ah Zhi as "Mr."
Wei Si had a smile on his brows and eyes, and his usual plain face was actually radiant.
He solemnly said: "Your Highness has changed my name. My surname will be Wei Mingsi from now on, not Ah Zhi!"
Lin Dajing was taken aback, and quickly congratulated him. He was sincerely happy for him, and said with a lot of emotion: "Mr. Wei is valued by His Highness, that's great!"
Wei Si pursed his lips and smiled, and said earnestly: "Your Highness has put so much effort into the farm, and now you are the head of the farm, you must help His Highness solve problems."
Lin Dajing nodded, "Little man, please remember."
After choosing Zhuangtou, Wei Si went to the refugee gathering place again.
The refugees have no houses to live in, so they can only sit on the ground.
Fortunately, in late spring, the weather is not too cold. Most of them have survived the winter on the road, and they are not afraid of the cold spring night at all.
Among the refugees, there are also skillful hands. The householders borrowed axes and other tools, and went up the mountain to chop wood and build huts by themselves.
When Wei Si passed by, Xu Sheng was sawing wood shirtless.
Seeing Wei Si, he immediately put down his work and asked nervously, "Master Ah Zhi, have you met His Highness?"
Wei Si solemnly reminded again: "Your Highness has changed my name. My name is now Wei Si."
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, hurriedly congratulated, and taking advantage of Wei Si's good mood, asked cautiously: "I don't know what your Highness said?"
Wei Si smiled and looked at him.
"I was quite courageous before, and dared to kill that villain with a hoe. Could it be that His Highness is more terrifying than that villain?"
"Master Wei, don't make such jokes. The villain respects His Highness, and he is afraid that His Highness will despise me." Xu Sheng said pitifully.
When the two were talking, the rest of the refugees also surrounded them.
Wei Silang said: "Your Highness said that the paper mill needs to recruit workers, and everyone can do the work. However, our paper mill uses a new method. In order to prevent the method from being leaked, you need to sign a contract of sale. Those who do not want to sign the contract of sale are not allowed to enter." The paper mill can only do some chores."
The refugees were buzzing and talking about it.
Xu Sheng asked: "How about signing the deed of sale? How about doing chores?"
Wei Si explained: "If you only do chores, the monthly salary is no different from ordinary labor; if you sign a contract of sale, not only will you be able to eat and clothe yourself warmly, His Highness will also build a new house for you, and you will receive benefits on holidays. If you are sick, you can Please leave to see the doctor and wait."
After he finished explaining seriously, he said, "Your Highness has always been kind and will not treat you badly. If you have a skill, you can choose to go to the paper mill, or you can choose not to go. His Highness will arrange for you to do something else."
When he first registered, he had already recorded everyone's situation, and some special ones were recorded in his mind.
"Xu Sheng, you said before that you can blacksmith, right?"
Xu Sheng nodded.
The rest of the townspeople also echoed: "Ah Sheng's father and grandfather are both blacksmiths. He has been able to fight since he was a child, and he is very good at it."
Wei Sidao: "Your Highness is going to recruit blacksmiths. If you want to continue blacksmithing, you don't have to go to the paper mill."
Xu Sheng asked: "Do you want to sign a contract of sale?"
"want."
Wei Si reassured everyone, "You don't have to worry, Your Highness said, the contract of sale is only signed for five years, after five years you can choose on your own."
In his opinion, His Highness is still too merciful, five years is really not a long time.
The refugees have not yet realized that only those who have signed the contract are more likely to have access to core affairs and are more likely to be reused by His Highness.
If he, Erbi, Sanmo, and Ayan were not His Highness's slaves, His Highness would not have cultivated them so much.
There is no need to think about whether there is a future with His Highness, or whether there is a future to fend for itself.
Xu Sheng kept fighting in his mind.
He didn't want to be a slave, but he wasn't willing to be mediocre.
It's a pity that the world is in chaos, and he can't go back!
These days, he has been observing the farm.
He saw the thriving wheat seedlings in the field, heard the sound of reading from the school, and smelled the occasional scent of medicine from the medical hall. He couldn't imagine that this was just a small farm.
He envied the easy and peaceful life of the farmers.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Si said, "I'll give you one night to make a decision. I'll register tomorrow morning."
The sunset and the moon rise, the farm is quiet and peaceful.
Lou Yu summoned Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai to discuss with them in the house.
"Mr. Yang, Wang Dayong and others met the rebel army on the road, what do you think?"
Yang Guanghuai's old god is here: "The people are struggling to make a living, and they rise up, which is a sign of troubled times."
"What will happen to Qingzhou?" Lou Yu asked again.
Yang Guanghuai sighed, "Your Highness, the only way to survive the chaos is to recruit troops and increase defense."
He felt that Lou Yu was clear in his heart, but he insisted on telling it through his mouth.
This made him very unfulfilling.
Lou Yu said again: "What Mr. said is very true, but where do the soldiers come from? Where do the weapons come from?"
"Your Highness already has countermeasures, why ask me?" Yang Guanghuai shook his head helplessly.
Lou Yu couldn't help laughing, "Mr. misunderstood me, I was indeed asking for advice."
He said: "I can recruit refugees to join the army, but there are only a few refugees who come to Gyeongju Prefecture; I can also recruit blacksmiths to make iron for me, but iron ore in Gyeongju is scarce, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice."
Yantie official camp is not just for fun.
Manufacturing armaments requires a large amount of iron ore.If there is a mine in Qingzhou Prefecture, Lou Yu doesn't have to worry about it at all. If not, he can't buy it from other places in a grand manner.
Huo Yan suddenly said: "Yangwu Mountain has it."
Yang Guanghuai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Really?" Lou Yu's eyes brightened, and he calmed down and asked again, "If there really are iron mines in Yangwu Mountain, why didn't the imperial court send someone to take it over, but let a group of bandits occupy it instead?"
Huo Yan said: "The local bandits are rampant, and Ji and Qing prefectures are unwilling to take care of them. The imperial court does not know that there are irons in the local area."
"Then how do you know?"
Huo Yan looked calmly, "There is an uncle who knows iron ore."
Lou Yu understood, "Wang Dayong and the others told you."
"Ah."
Lou Yu rubbed his chin, "If I want iron ore, do I have to fight those bandits?"
Yang Guanghuai said: "Yangwu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The bandits have occupied it for many years. Not only are they familiar with the terrain, but they have also set up many traps. If they face it head-on, they may not be able to win."
This can be difficult.
Lou Yu frowned and asked Huo Yan: "Do you know how many bandits there are in Yangwu Mountain?"
"No less than 2000 people."
Lou Yu had a headache.
He currently only has [-] soldiers in his hand, and his weapons and equipment can't keep up. If he directly stabs the bandit's lair, his entire army will definitely be wiped out.
But there is no iron ore, no weapons can be made, and it is even more difficult for Gyeongju to move forward.
At present, it seems that taking down the unsupervised Yangwu Mountain is the most convenient and safest way to obtain iron ore.
He looked at Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai eagerly, hoping that they could give him a good plan.
Huo Yan said: "It is possible to attack with fire, but it is inevitably cruel, and the mountain fire is not easy to extinguish."
It sounds like a simple and rude way of doing things.
Yang Guanghuai said: "It can penetrate the inside, and the inside should cooperate with the outside."
This is a roundabout route.
Lou Yu thought for a while and said, "What if we lead them all down the mountain?"
Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai looked at him burningly.
"Did I say something wrong?" Lou Yu smiled slightly to relieve the embarrassment.
Yang Guanghuai nodded and praised: "This method is feasible, but how to lure them down the mountain?"
Huo Yan continued: "Incentives?"
"In today's world, what can induce bandits to come out regardless of the consequences?" Lou Yu narrowed his eyes and thought.
"Food." Huo Yan said.
Yang Guanghuai echoed: "If there is a large amount of food passing by, the bandits will definitely want to snatch it."
"Even so, bandits are familiar with the terrain and can set up an ambush. Our 4000 people may not be able to hold off 2000 people." Lou Yu sighed.
What's more, even if they go to suppress the bandits, it is impossible to bring all the troops. After all, the Qingzhou government still needs troops to guard against Guo Lian and others.
Yang Guanghuai said lightly: "You can borrow troops."
"Borrow soldiers?" Lou Yu was a little puzzled, "Where to borrow?"
Huo Yan's eyes were slightly cold, "Sir, do you mean the frontier army in Jizhou?"
"That's right," Yang Guanghuai looked confident, "Last year's snowstorm in Jizhou not only displaced the people, but even the border troops were struggling to support them."
Lou Yu's eyes lit up, "You mean, the frontier army is short of food now, and the imperial court doesn't care. If we go to Jizhou in the name of sending food and ask Jizhou to send troops to protect it, then we can use our strength to fight?"
Seeing the joy in his eyes, Yang Guanghuai finally felt a sense of accomplishment, otherwise he always felt that he was useless, and he was really ashamed.
Huo Yan nodded, "This plan is feasible, killing two birds with one stone."
One is to alleviate the plight of the shortage of troops in Gyeongju, thereby suppressing bandits and gaining control of Yangwu Mountain.
The second is to solve the urgent needs of the frontier army and strengthen the defenders, so as to guard the first gate of Daesong and provide a more stable development environment for Gyeongju.
Lou Yu regained his energy and leaned forward, "Let's study the whole plan carefully."
First of all, we must send people to communicate with the generals of the Jizhou frontier army to ensure that the Jizhou army will appear at the right time.
Secondly, we must prepare food, select a thousand soldiers to escort the food, and go to suppress the bandits together.
Finally, it is necessary to determine who will lead the troops.
It's true that when people are in need, they hate few. Lou Yu only has [-] soldiers in his hand, which is too little, too little!
He was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just said lightly: "That's it for tonight. After returning to the city tomorrow, call Li Shu and the others to discuss countermeasures."
Yang Guanghuai left lightly, but Huo Yan stopped at the door.
Lou Yu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Huo Yan fixed a look at him, "No."
Turn around and walk to your own yard.
When they arrived at the residence, Huo Xuan was already sound asleep on the bed, but Huo Qiong was still waiting for him.
Under the dim light, Huo Yan's usually cold face showed a hint of gentleness.
He asked Huo Qiong: "Why don't you go to sleep?"
Holding the medical book in his hands, Huo Qiong tried to open his eyes, "Uncle has to go back to the city tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again if I fall asleep."
Thinking of the bandit suppression plan just now, Huo Yan apologized: "Maybe I will not be able to come to the farm for a long time when I return to the city tomorrow."
He intuitively felt that even if Lou Yu didn't let him lead the bandit suppression, he would definitely let him participate.
Huo Qiong was reluctant: "How long is very long?"
"I don't know either." Huo Yan stroked her bun, "Go to sleep."
The next day, Lou Yu led Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai to the city early, and called Feng Sanmo and Li Shu to discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits.
"Sanmo, I will leave it to you to contact the border guards."
Feng Sanmo: "Follow the order!"
"Once Cheng Da agrees to cooperate, our [-]-grain transport team will start immediately. Huo Yan and Li Shu, you two will lead the troops this time, and we must wipe out the banditry in Wushan, Qingyang!"
Huo Yan suggested: "Uncle Wang and the others have stayed in Yangwu Mountain for a while and are familiar with the terrain of Yangwu Mountain. Why don't you let them go together?"
Yangwu Mountain is not only one mountain, there are many large and small hills, collectively called "Yangwu Mountain".
There wasn't only one group of bandits, Lou Yu and the others were discussing the most powerful group last night, as long as the big ones were wiped out, the rest of the hills wouldn't be a problem.
Wang Dayong and the others only occupied a small hill at that time, but the habit of serving in the army for many years allowed them to touch all the hills, large and small, of Yangwu Mountain.
It will be much more convenient if you take them with you.
Lou Yu nodded and agreed: "As you said. If the trip goes well, all those who participated in the suppression of the bandits will be rewarded."
Li Shu is going to go out for the first time. Although it is only to suppress bandits, he is still very excited.
He said with a silly face, "Your Highness, what about the city defense?"
Lou Yu asked, "What do you think?"
Li Shu thought for a while, then scratched his cheek and said, "It's better to let He Dazhou take over the city defense, he has experience."
"No need," Lou Yu vetoed his suggestion, "Are there any outstanding performers in the army? If so, they can be promoted. Do you want to be the commander of the army for the rest of your life?"
Li Shu's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, I will pick a good seedling when I go back!"
The results of each evaluation in the government barracks are recorded in the record. Li Shu knows very well that there are talents he admires, but he has to do some work to save face, and he cannot directly name them on the spot.
Lou Yu said: "At that time, He Dazhou will be the assistant."
It's true that He Dazhou can't be left on the bench all the time, too much pressure will make people feel chilling, and he needs to be given some hope.
Li Shu happily agreed.
"If you have any other suggestions, feel free to tell me." Lou Yu looked around at several people.
Huo Yan has a family background and has the most experience in marching. He said: "There may be casualties in the suppression of bandits, and a military doctor is needed to accompany him."
"What should we do?" Li Shu was a little at a loss, "We don't have a military doctor."
Not even recruiting.
Who is willing to give up the easy life and go to the battlefield of swords and swords?
Lou Yu said, "I'll ask Chen Chuanbai."
Li Shu: "The old man is too old to stand up."
"His Lilac Hall can always recruit several doctors."
"What if he doesn't want to?"
Nobody is a fool.
Lou Yu was silent for a moment, wondering: "Then you can only lie to one person."
cheat?How to cheat?
In Tianzhuang Medical Center, Chen Chuanbai finished his class and walked outside the hospital to relax his muscles and bones, when he heard a few young boys muttering.
It seems that Master Yang's students are whispering.
He didn't want to hear more, but he heard one of the young men say: "What if the barbarians call?"
"Probably not? Jizhou is still guarded by frontier troops."
"But the frontier soldiers are almost out of food, can they fight without food?"
"Didn't Master say that His Highness wants to send food to the frontier army?"
"But the delivery of food has to go through Yangwu Mountain. We came to Qingzhou and passed there. There are many bandits. Your Highness sent so much food there. What if the bandits rob you?"
"We have soldiers, so we can suppress bandits by the way."
"The suppressing bandits are very likely to be injured. If the injuries cannot be treated in time, the food cannot be delivered to the border in time, and the border troops will not have the strength to defend the city. In the end, they will still be broken by the barbarians."
A few young boys were frowning and sighing quietly, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Chen Chuanbai frowned and went back to the hospital, sitting at the table and began to sigh again and again.
His grandson Chen Xuanshen asked with concern: "Why is grandpa worried?"
Chen Chuanbai told him what happened just now, and at the end he had a sad face: "The frontier army has no food, but the imperial court doesn't care. Your Highness sends people to deliver food, and you have to worry about bandits looting. If the food delivery team is really injured, it can't be treated in time , that would be terrible."
"Grandpa," Chen Xuanshen said calmly, "Did you forget what our family does?"
"you……"
The young man has handsome features and a firm expression: "Grandpa, grandson also wants to contribute."
Chen Chuanbai was shocked.
His grandson has a talent for studying medicine since he was a child, and now he has inherited his mantle and is able to see a doctor independently.
Chen Chuanbai believed in his medical skills, but couldn't bear him to travel long distances and experience swords and swords.
"Grandpa, the doctor hangs the pot to help the world. His Highness sent people to deliver food, which is a kind deed that benefits the country and the people. The soldiers who transport food need us."
Chen Xuanshen is still young and has a passion for it.If everyone shrinks back and everyone is afraid, then sooner or later Dasheng will be occupied by foreign races.
Chen Chuanbai shook his head, "You don't have to go, I'll go."
His old bones have lived enough, even if he is in danger, it's no big deal.
The grandparent and the grandson were at a stalemate, neither of them wanted the other to be in danger, and in the end, all the apprentices in the medical center knew about the trouble.
As a result, young and passionate apprentices also joined in.
Chen Chuanbai couldn't help shouting: "Why are you making trouble!"
"Master, we can help out and accumulate experience!"
It's not every day that someone gets sick in Zhuangzi, and even if they get sick, it's just a minor illness and pain. Except for the last time the bandits attacked the village, they didn't see many people and treated their injuries.
Anyone who has a little pursuit hopes that he can save more wounded.
Of course, they are not cursing others for getting hurt, it's just that the ration team just needs them.
No casualties are better!
The incident got serious and spread to Lin Dajing's ears. Lin Dajing felt that the matter was difficult, so he asked Wei Si again.
Wei Siting understood the cause and effect, and he had a solid idea in his heart, so he directly reported to Lou Yu.
Lou Yu smiled and said, "Anyone who wants to participate can sign up, and we will be screened at that time."
When the news was sent back to the medical center, the grandparents of the Chen family, Huo Qiong, and some other apprentices rushed to report their names.
Lou Yu took the list and handed it to Huo Yan: "There is a military doctor."
Huo Yan looked down and saw the word "Huo Qiong", his eyes showed worry.
He asked Lou Yu: "How does Your Highness plan to choose?"
Lou Yu upholds a fair and impartial attitude, "Each person depends on his ability."
Huo Yan pinched the list, hesitated to speak.
Lou Yu probably guessed what he was thinking, but there were some things that Huo Yan needed to speak out, not him asking.
"I'll tell Wei Si to arrange an assessment."
Lou Yu consulted his relatives who were doctors in modern times and learned some first aid measures.
In his free time, he had already taught Chen Chuanbai.
These first aid knowledge are very practical, and practical ones are needed on the battlefield.
After Chen Chuanbai learned it, he would also go to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic to see patients. After many experiments, he did find out some experience, and he passed on these experiences to the apprentices in the medical clinic.
These apprentices are all reserve members of the military medical team in the future.
This time, Lou Yu hoped to let them feel the small-scale war at close range, and exercise their psychological quality and on-the-spot reaction ability.
Although the apprentices are still young, Huo Yan is only 15 years old, and Yang Ji'an is only 11 years old.
Moreover, if Cheng Da, the general of the Jizhou frontier army, is willing to send troops, the grain transportation team should not be in danger.
After the battle between heaven and man, Huo Yan finally said: "Your Highness, the apprentices are still young, and the food transport team has a long way to go, so it may be inconvenient."
Lou Yu said bluntly, "Are you worried about Huo Qiong?"
Huo Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I'm really worried about her."
He felt deeply guilty about it.
Lou Yu mused, "If the apprentices are not suitable, we can only recruit doctors of the right age from the City Traditional Chinese Medicine Center."
Huo Yan also knew that he shouldn't say this, but he was too scared.
The tragic death of his parents, brother and sister-in-law once became his nightmare, and he dared not experience the pain of being injured or losing a loved one again.
Lou Yu glanced at him, and deliberately sighed: "Huo Yan, you are embarrassing me."
Huo Yan clasped the list with his fingers, fighting left and right in his heart.
Thinking of the scene of Huo Qiong's hard work, the scene of Lou Yu's painstaking efforts, and the soldiers of the government who were about to be in danger, he was still shaken after all.
It is difficult to choose between private and public.
But on second thought, the Huo family were born to take risks.
Justice overcame selfishness, Huo Yan had made up his mind.
Lou Yu said, "It's okay not to let the apprentices go, but the premise is that you must ensure the safety of the food delivery team!"
"I need you to bring them back wholeheartedly! I know it's near impossible, but I want you to aim for this!"
"You are Huo Yan, you are the Huo family, I hope you will not fall into the Huo family's prestige."
Huo Yanqi wanted to answer, but found that his throat was so sore that he couldn't say a word.
The face of the young man in front of him was bright, and his clear eyes were full of trust and kindness towards him.
He asked hoarsely, "The military doctor..."
Lou Yu didn't care much and said, "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. I don't believe that there are not a few doctors in the whole city who are willing to join the army!"
He originally planned to train the apprentices, but thinking of Huo Yan's family ruined and lost several relatives not long ago, he somewhat understood how much he valued his relatives.
And if you think about it carefully, although the apprentice has seen the scene of bandits attacking the village, he is still young and it is inconvenient for him to join the army.
Huo Yan's thinking is not without reason.
He temporarily changed his mind.
This can not only motivate Huo Yan, but also make Huo Yan owe himself a favor.
Huo Yan's chest gradually became hot.
His eyes were dark, and he said solemnly: "Huo will definitely live up to his trust."
Lou Yu smiled at the corners of his eyes, his brows brightened.
"I believe you!"
After changing his mind, Lou Yu asked the medical center to conduct an assessment.
When the final assessment results came out, only Chen Xuancan passed.
Chen Chuanbai is too old, he can't do it; Huo Qiong is too young, he can't do it; the rest of the apprentices are not skilled enough, they can't do it either.
Only Chen Xuanshen met the requirements in all aspects.
Lou Yu already liked Chen Xuanshen in his heart. Let him serve as the team leader of the military medical team, and recruit other doctors as auxiliary staff, which is enough for this bandit suppression.
The team leader made a decision, and now we are waiting for the team members to arrive.
Once Cheng Da had definite news, he would spend a lot of money to recruit doctors from all over the city.
The galloping horseshoes stopped suddenly, Cheng Da dismounted in front of the camp, and returned to the camp surrounded by his personal guards.
He had just fought against a small group of barbarian cavalry, the armor was stained with a lot of barbarian blood, and his arm was also cut by the barbarian.
The personal guard immediately called the military doctor to bandage him.
Cheng Dada sat down with a golden knife, frowned and asked, "Is there any news from the imperial court?"
"General," the deputy general said with a bitter face, "it is said that the treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Households cannot allocate money and food."
"Can't get it out?" Cheng Da slammed his fist on the table, his eyes were fierce, "Can't get it out to make us drink the northwest wind?! Where did last year's harvest go?"
There was resentment in the words of the deputy general: "I heard that the emperor wants to build a Phoenix Terrace for the noble concubine, how can he care about us."
"What platform?" Cheng Da was stunned, "She's not a queen, so repairing the Phoenix Terrace is not afraid of shortening her life?"
The lieutenant also shook his head helplessly, "Who knows."
"Is this for me to watch my brothers starve to death!" Cheng Da punched again, and the desk case cracked open.
If it weren't for the frontier army's habit of farming and farming, they wouldn't be able to last so long.
But last year's harvest was not good, and there was another snowstorm. They really had nothing to eat, and they all tightened their belts to live.
Sometimes a small group of barbarian cavalry plundered the border towns, robbing the people of money and food, and Cheng Da led his troops to drive them away.
Hungry and tired, many soldiers fell down.
If this continues, the barbarians don't need to fight at all, they can just boil them to death.
Cheng Da's eyebrows were frowned, and he couldn't think of a way out.
At this moment, the soldiers came to report: "General, there is a messenger from Qingzhou."
"Gyeongju?"
Cheng Da was deeply surprised, he had no acquaintances in Gyeongju.
Looking at the lieutenant, the lieutenant also looked blank.
The two stared at each other, the lieutenant stared sourly, blinked and asked the soldiers: "How many people are there?"
"One messenger."
The lieutenant general said to Cheng Da: "It's just one person, why not meet?"
Cheng Da waved his hand and ordered to meet the messenger.
The matter is so important this time, Feng Sanmo came here in person.
He was dressed in black clothes, with a calm face, and he entered the camp alone, showing no signs of timidity.
Seeing that he was only a teenager, Cheng Da frowned involuntarily. Didn't he mean the messenger? Why is there a baby?
"Who are you? What are you doing?" he asked gruffly.
Feng Sanmo was neither humble nor overbearing, and saluted: "Feng Sanmo, under the order of Prince Qing's son, came to discuss with General Cheng about the transportation of grain."
Transport food?
Cheng Da regained his energy in an instant, and laughed, "Brother Feng, why don't you sit down and talk about it in detail."
Feng Sanmo sat down as he said, his thin body looked so weak that it was easy for people to let go of their guards.
Both Cheng Da and the lieutenant relaxed, waiting for him to talk about the food delivery.
"Since last year, many disaster victims from Jizhou have fled to Gyeongju, some because of the snow disaster, and some who went south because of barbarian looting. Seeing this, His Highness is very worried."
Cheng Da didn't know King Qing, let alone Prince Qing's son, so he couldn't help asking, "What is he worried about?"
Feng Sanmo said: "Worry about the barbarians going south. If there is a loss in Jizhou, Qingzhou's lips will be dead and teeth will be cold."
"What disgusting words are you talking about!" Cheng Da said angrily, "Is he looking down on Laozi? If the barbarians want to go south, they have to step over Laozi's corpse!"
Feng Sanmo's expression remained unchanged, and he asked instead: "What if Jizhou runs out of food?"
Cheng Da was silent.
This is an indisputable fact, they are indeed out of food right now.
Feng Sanmo cut to the chase, "His Royal Highness naturally hopes that the general will be able to guard the pass, so he intends to send food to the border pass for emergency."
"Really?!" Both Cheng Da and the lieutenant's eyes lit up.
Waiting for the imperial court to distribute the food is not yet known until the year of the monkey, if Qingzhou can really send food to rescue the emergency, that would be a great thing!
Cheng Da was about to respond when he suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Why is it the prince Qing's son who sent the food instead of the prefect of Qingzhou?"
The difference between the two is huge.
Facing Cheng Da's suspicious eyes, Feng Sanmo remained calm and composed: "The court has no food, and the magistrate naturally has no food. Not everyone inside and outside the court is like General Cheng, who is willing to devote himself to guarding Dasheng."
Hearing this compliment, Cheng Da felt refreshed all over. He laughed and slapped his thigh with his palm like a cattail fan.
"The prince generously donated, Cheng is very grateful!"
He wasn't worried that Feng Sanmo was lying to him, he would know if he had any food when he saw it, and he didn't lose anything if he was cheated, and it could boost morale in a short time.
Feng Sanmo said: "It's just that the world is in chaos now. Although His Highness has food, there is no one to use it. His Highness has heard that bandits in Yangwu Mountain are rampant and often rob property and food. He is worried that the bandits will rob the food during the transportation. The consequences will be disastrous. "
Cheng Da understood.
He pondered: "Do you want me to send troops to protect the food?"
Feng Sanmo nodded, "His Royal Highness hopes that the general can send troops to Yangwu Mountain in due course so that the food will not be taken away by bandits."
This makes sense, and Cheng Da, a bandit sufferer in Yangwu Mountain, has also heard of it.
He looked at the lieutenant.
The deputy general asked Feng Sanmo: "Is there any token for the son?"
I didn't ask for the token just because it was unnecessary.Now that troops need to be dispatched, they naturally have to distinguish the authenticity from the false.
Feng Sanmo took out a letter from his sleeve in a calm manner: "The letter is inscribed with King Qing's seal, general, please read it."
The prince doesn't have a seal yet, so he can only use King Qing's.
The seal inscription cannot be faked, Cheng Da and the deputy general believed it immediately after watching it.
Cheng Da asked the last doubt: "Where does the food for the son come from?"
In other words, where did the prince get the money to buy so much food?Didn't you see that the imperial court couldn't afford money and food?
Feng Sanmo said: "The lack of money in the imperial court does not mean that the officials and wealthy gentry have no money; the absence of food in the imperial court does not mean that the rich merchants and landlords have no food."
He pointed to the letter paper, "The two generals may wish to read this paper carefully."
Both of them are military generals, and they didn't see any tricks after watching for a long time.
Both looked up blankly.
Feng Sanmo had no choice but to explain: "This is a new paper produced by His Highness's paper mill. The texture is like jade, far superior to ordinary paper. It is very popular among literati. Some gentry are arty and are willing to buy it at a high price."
Of course, this sentence was to fool Cheng Da, Lou Yu's paper hasn't been sold yet.But Dayuan was at the border, so he didn't know these things at all.
Cheng Da was a rough man, he didn't quite understand how much a piece of paper could sell for, so he summoned his soldiers: "Go and ask for a military adviser."
The military division likes to dance and write, so he must have the ability to appreciate.
Feng Sanmo looked calm, waiting for the military division to come.
After a while, the military division stepped into the camp, his brows furrowed deeply: "General, why did you call me?"
With the famine looming, he had no time to pay attention to other things.
Cheng Da handed the paper in front of him, "Take a look."
When the military adviser saw that it was a letter, he thought it was news from the imperial court. He couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly accepted it.
The letter did say about sending food, but it was signed by King Qing.
military adviser:"……"
His eyes fell on Feng Sanmo's face, and his expression was light: "Where do you get the food in Qingzhou?"
Cheng Da immediately said, "First, see what's different about this paper?"
The military master was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that his fingertips felt as smooth as fat to the touch, and then he looked down, only to feel that the paper was glowing faintly, as moist and smooth as jade.
Cheng Da looked forward to asking: "How?"
The military division took a deep breath, "Good paper, top quality."
He fell in love with this piece of paper instantly, and the way he looked at Feng Sanmo had changed.
"A military division has extraordinary eyesight," Feng Sanmo said, "if this paper sells for a high price, wouldn't it be surprising?"
"It's not unusual, it's not unusual!" The military master held the paper reluctantly, "Where did this paper come from?"
The deputy general said quickly: "It was made by Prince Qing's son's paper-making workshop, and this paper was exchanged for a lot of food before it could be shipped to us!"
He is acquainted with the military division, and he can make the military division so excited, which shows how good this paper is.
Cheng Da and the deputy general believed Feng Sanmo's words completely.
The military division also believed seven points.
After the three discussed, they decided to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to Yangwu Mountain to welcome the food.
Feng Sanmo said: "I will send a message to Your Highness immediately."
All three of them said: "My son's heart is attached to Dasheng, it is the blessing of Dasheng."
Feng Sanmo lowered his eyebrows.
The carrier pigeon flew into Prince Qing's mansion, Lou Yu's spirit was shaken after watching the letter, and he hurriedly ordered to go down.
"Huo Yan, Li Shu, immediately prepare food and order a thousand soldiers. Erbi, immediately post a notice in the city, recruiting doctors to join the army with a lot of money!"
Everyone quickly took orders to act.
The city of Qingzhou became lively again, everyone was discussing the fact that Prince Qing's mansion paid a lot of money to seek medical treatment and join the army.
Many doctors were inevitably moved.
Although it is dangerous to be a military doctor, wealth and wealth are in danger.
And this time I was only going to suppress the bandits, not to fight the barbarians, so there shouldn't be any danger.What's more, they are just doctors and don't need to go to the battlefield.
"Go this trip, there will be 100 taels!"
"My God! This is not a big profit!"
"100 taels! I have never seen so much money in my life!"
Contrary to Lou Yu's expectation, there are quite a lot of applicants.
He thought that 100 taels would not be so attractive.
Lou Yu didn't know much about the personal qualities of Fucheng doctors, so he went to ask Chen Chuanbai for advice and made five appointments.
He handed over the final list to Huo Yan, "Including Chen Xuanshen, a total of six people should be enough."
After all, the soldiers sent by Cheng Da are the main force.
Huo Yan looked at the five names on the list, feeling a little guilty.
If he didn't want Huo Qiong to join the army, Lou Yu wouldn't have to pay the 500 taels.And these 500 taels can be exchanged for more food.
The young man's fingers trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and said hoarsely, "Thank you."
Seeing him like this, Lou Yu couldn't help but reflect on whether he had gone too far.
He patted Huo Yan on the shoulder, looked at him, and said sincerely: "I didn't intend to let the apprentices from the medical center join the army. What I did before was just to test the minds of the apprentices."
They are all reserve soldiers. If they are cowardly and weak, how can they take on big responsibilities in the future?
Huo Yan knew that he deliberately said this to comfort himself, and his heart was even more touched.
"Your Highness, Huo's trip will definitely live up to expectations!"
Lou Yu felt a little guilty, always felt that he was abducting a 15-year-old innocent boy.
On the sixth day of June, the sky was clear.
Lou Yu watched Huo Yan and Li Shu lead [-] government soldiers to Yangwu Mountain with food in front of the city gate of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Whether you can get the mine or not depends on this move.
Yangwu Mountain is located at the junction of Jizhou and Qingzhou, where the mountains stretch and the scenery is beautiful.
It's a pity that there are nests and nests of bandits hiding.
The largest bandit nest is in Heijiling. Compared with other small bandits, they are clearly organized and disciplined. No one dares to stroke their beards in the Yangwu Mountain area.
On that day, in the arms of a beautiful woman from Heijiling University, a servant came to report: "The head of the family, the spies came to report that there was a large team forty miles away, and they were escorting food in the direction of Jizhou. There are many cars!"
The head of the family pushed the beauty away, and asked enthusiastically, "Is it really food? All of it?"
"It should be right!"
"How many of them are there?" The head of the family picked up a big knife and went out with his chest open.
Minion: "About 1000 people."
"So much?!" The headmaster couldn't help but put down the knife, rubbing his chin hesitantly.
If it is an ordinary caravan, there should not be so many people, 1000 people, could it be the imperial court officers and soldiers?
"What do they look like? Do they have weapons?"
"They're all dressed in black, and they're holding sticks in their hands. They're nothing compared to us."
The head of the family turned around to find his good brother to discuss.
They were used to bandits, and everything they enjoyed was snatched from the bottom of the mountain. It was impossible not to be tempted by such a large amount of food.
The second leader was calmer: "If it is an officer and soldier of the imperial court, it is difficult for us to make a move."
"Who cares who the hell!" The third master slammed his fist on the table with a ferocious look, "Since we are going to cross our Yangwu Mountain, we don't have to keep our lives, but we have to keep money!"
four masters
He didn't want to come up at first, but thinking about the growth of the wheat seedlings in the past few months, he felt that maybe he could do more things for His Highness as the head of the farm.
After observation and comparison, the difference between the experimental field and the ordinary field is obvious.
Not to mention Lin Dajing, even the other farmers can see the difference.
The result of the vote was expected by all Lin Dajing.
One is because he is really honest and honest, and he is decent; the other is that he keeps learning, and now he knows a lot of characters, and his prestige in the hearts of the farmers is getting higher; the third is that he is valued by His Highness, and the people who are valued by His Highness are naturally valued by the farmers.
In this way, Lin Dajing was promoted to the new Zhuangtou.
He blushed excitedly, and said to Wei Si: "Mr. Ah Zhi, the villain is today thanks to your teaching."
He practiced calligraphy with A Zhi, and under the guidance of A Zhi, he wrote the records neatly and clearly.
If there is no Ah Zhi, he must be blind and unable to do what His Highness told him.
Therefore, he has always respected Ah Zhi as "Mr."
Wei Si had a smile on his brows and eyes, and his usual plain face was actually radiant.
He solemnly said: "Your Highness has changed my name. My surname will be Wei Mingsi from now on, not Ah Zhi!"
Lin Dajing was taken aback, and quickly congratulated him. He was sincerely happy for him, and said with a lot of emotion: "Mr. Wei is valued by His Highness, that's great!"
Wei Si pursed his lips and smiled, and said earnestly: "Your Highness has put so much effort into the farm, and now you are the head of the farm, you must help His Highness solve problems."
Lin Dajing nodded, "Little man, please remember."
After choosing Zhuangtou, Wei Si went to the refugee gathering place again.
The refugees have no houses to live in, so they can only sit on the ground.
Fortunately, in late spring, the weather is not too cold. Most of them have survived the winter on the road, and they are not afraid of the cold spring night at all.
Among the refugees, there are also skillful hands. The householders borrowed axes and other tools, and went up the mountain to chop wood and build huts by themselves.
When Wei Si passed by, Xu Sheng was sawing wood shirtless.
Seeing Wei Si, he immediately put down his work and asked nervously, "Master Ah Zhi, have you met His Highness?"
Wei Si solemnly reminded again: "Your Highness has changed my name. My name is now Wei Si."
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, hurriedly congratulated, and taking advantage of Wei Si's good mood, asked cautiously: "I don't know what your Highness said?"
Wei Si smiled and looked at him.
"I was quite courageous before, and dared to kill that villain with a hoe. Could it be that His Highness is more terrifying than that villain?"
"Master Wei, don't make such jokes. The villain respects His Highness, and he is afraid that His Highness will despise me." Xu Sheng said pitifully.
When the two were talking, the rest of the refugees also surrounded them.
Wei Silang said: "Your Highness said that the paper mill needs to recruit workers, and everyone can do the work. However, our paper mill uses a new method. In order to prevent the method from being leaked, you need to sign a contract of sale. Those who do not want to sign the contract of sale are not allowed to enter." The paper mill can only do some chores."
The refugees were buzzing and talking about it.
Xu Sheng asked: "How about signing the deed of sale? How about doing chores?"
Wei Si explained: "If you only do chores, the monthly salary is no different from ordinary labor; if you sign a contract of sale, not only will you be able to eat and clothe yourself warmly, His Highness will also build a new house for you, and you will receive benefits on holidays. If you are sick, you can Please leave to see the doctor and wait."
After he finished explaining seriously, he said, "Your Highness has always been kind and will not treat you badly. If you have a skill, you can choose to go to the paper mill, or you can choose not to go. His Highness will arrange for you to do something else."
When he first registered, he had already recorded everyone's situation, and some special ones were recorded in his mind.
"Xu Sheng, you said before that you can blacksmith, right?"
Xu Sheng nodded.
The rest of the townspeople also echoed: "Ah Sheng's father and grandfather are both blacksmiths. He has been able to fight since he was a child, and he is very good at it."
Wei Sidao: "Your Highness is going to recruit blacksmiths. If you want to continue blacksmithing, you don't have to go to the paper mill."
Xu Sheng asked: "Do you want to sign a contract of sale?"
"want."
Wei Si reassured everyone, "You don't have to worry, Your Highness said, the contract of sale is only signed for five years, after five years you can choose on your own."
In his opinion, His Highness is still too merciful, five years is really not a long time.
The refugees have not yet realized that only those who have signed the contract are more likely to have access to core affairs and are more likely to be reused by His Highness.
If he, Erbi, Sanmo, and Ayan were not His Highness's slaves, His Highness would not have cultivated them so much.
There is no need to think about whether there is a future with His Highness, or whether there is a future to fend for itself.
Xu Sheng kept fighting in his mind.
He didn't want to be a slave, but he wasn't willing to be mediocre.
It's a pity that the world is in chaos, and he can't go back!
These days, he has been observing the farm.
He saw the thriving wheat seedlings in the field, heard the sound of reading from the school, and smelled the occasional scent of medicine from the medical hall. He couldn't imagine that this was just a small farm.
He envied the easy and peaceful life of the farmers.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Wei Si said, "I'll give you one night to make a decision. I'll register tomorrow morning."
The sunset and the moon rise, the farm is quiet and peaceful.
Lou Yu summoned Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai to discuss with them in the house.
"Mr. Yang, Wang Dayong and others met the rebel army on the road, what do you think?"
Yang Guanghuai's old god is here: "The people are struggling to make a living, and they rise up, which is a sign of troubled times."
"What will happen to Qingzhou?" Lou Yu asked again.
Yang Guanghuai sighed, "Your Highness, the only way to survive the chaos is to recruit troops and increase defense."
He felt that Lou Yu was clear in his heart, but he insisted on telling it through his mouth.
This made him very unfulfilling.
Lou Yu said again: "What Mr. said is very true, but where do the soldiers come from? Where do the weapons come from?"
"Your Highness already has countermeasures, why ask me?" Yang Guanghuai shook his head helplessly.
Lou Yu couldn't help laughing, "Mr. misunderstood me, I was indeed asking for advice."
He said: "I can recruit refugees to join the army, but there are only a few refugees who come to Gyeongju Prefecture; I can also recruit blacksmiths to make iron for me, but iron ore in Gyeongju is scarce, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice."
Yantie official camp is not just for fun.
Manufacturing armaments requires a large amount of iron ore.If there is a mine in Qingzhou Prefecture, Lou Yu doesn't have to worry about it at all. If not, he can't buy it from other places in a grand manner.
Huo Yan suddenly said: "Yangwu Mountain has it."
Yang Guanghuai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Really?" Lou Yu's eyes brightened, and he calmed down and asked again, "If there really are iron mines in Yangwu Mountain, why didn't the imperial court send someone to take it over, but let a group of bandits occupy it instead?"
Huo Yan said: "The local bandits are rampant, and Ji and Qing prefectures are unwilling to take care of them. The imperial court does not know that there are irons in the local area."
"Then how do you know?"
Huo Yan looked calmly, "There is an uncle who knows iron ore."
Lou Yu understood, "Wang Dayong and the others told you."
"Ah."
Lou Yu rubbed his chin, "If I want iron ore, do I have to fight those bandits?"
Yang Guanghuai said: "Yangwu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The bandits have occupied it for many years. Not only are they familiar with the terrain, but they have also set up many traps. If they face it head-on, they may not be able to win."
This can be difficult.
Lou Yu frowned and asked Huo Yan: "Do you know how many bandits there are in Yangwu Mountain?"
"No less than 2000 people."
Lou Yu had a headache.
He currently only has [-] soldiers in his hand, and his weapons and equipment can't keep up. If he directly stabs the bandit's lair, his entire army will definitely be wiped out.
But there is no iron ore, no weapons can be made, and it is even more difficult for Gyeongju to move forward.
At present, it seems that taking down the unsupervised Yangwu Mountain is the most convenient and safest way to obtain iron ore.
He looked at Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai eagerly, hoping that they could give him a good plan.
Huo Yan said: "It is possible to attack with fire, but it is inevitably cruel, and the mountain fire is not easy to extinguish."
It sounds like a simple and rude way of doing things.
Yang Guanghuai said: "It can penetrate the inside, and the inside should cooperate with the outside."
This is a roundabout route.
Lou Yu thought for a while and said, "What if we lead them all down the mountain?"
Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai looked at him burningly.
"Did I say something wrong?" Lou Yu smiled slightly to relieve the embarrassment.
Yang Guanghuai nodded and praised: "This method is feasible, but how to lure them down the mountain?"
Huo Yan continued: "Incentives?"
"In today's world, what can induce bandits to come out regardless of the consequences?" Lou Yu narrowed his eyes and thought.
"Food." Huo Yan said.
Yang Guanghuai echoed: "If there is a large amount of food passing by, the bandits will definitely want to snatch it."
"Even so, bandits are familiar with the terrain and can set up an ambush. Our 4000 people may not be able to hold off 2000 people." Lou Yu sighed.
What's more, even if they go to suppress the bandits, it is impossible to bring all the troops. After all, the Qingzhou government still needs troops to guard against Guo Lian and others.
Yang Guanghuai said lightly: "You can borrow troops."
"Borrow soldiers?" Lou Yu was a little puzzled, "Where to borrow?"
Huo Yan's eyes were slightly cold, "Sir, do you mean the frontier army in Jizhou?"
"That's right," Yang Guanghuai looked confident, "Last year's snowstorm in Jizhou not only displaced the people, but even the border troops were struggling to support them."
Lou Yu's eyes lit up, "You mean, the frontier army is short of food now, and the imperial court doesn't care. If we go to Jizhou in the name of sending food and ask Jizhou to send troops to protect it, then we can use our strength to fight?"
Seeing the joy in his eyes, Yang Guanghuai finally felt a sense of accomplishment, otherwise he always felt that he was useless, and he was really ashamed.
Huo Yan nodded, "This plan is feasible, killing two birds with one stone."
One is to alleviate the plight of the shortage of troops in Gyeongju, thereby suppressing bandits and gaining control of Yangwu Mountain.
The second is to solve the urgent needs of the frontier army and strengthen the defenders, so as to guard the first gate of Daesong and provide a more stable development environment for Gyeongju.
Lou Yu regained his energy and leaned forward, "Let's study the whole plan carefully."
First of all, we must send people to communicate with the generals of the Jizhou frontier army to ensure that the Jizhou army will appear at the right time.
Secondly, we must prepare food, select a thousand soldiers to escort the food, and go to suppress the bandits together.
Finally, it is necessary to determine who will lead the troops.
It's true that when people are in need, they hate few. Lou Yu only has [-] soldiers in his hand, which is too little, too little!
He was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just said lightly: "That's it for tonight. After returning to the city tomorrow, call Li Shu and the others to discuss countermeasures."
Yang Guanghuai left lightly, but Huo Yan stopped at the door.
Lou Yu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Huo Yan fixed a look at him, "No."
Turn around and walk to your own yard.
When they arrived at the residence, Huo Xuan was already sound asleep on the bed, but Huo Qiong was still waiting for him.
Under the dim light, Huo Yan's usually cold face showed a hint of gentleness.
He asked Huo Qiong: "Why don't you go to sleep?"
Holding the medical book in his hands, Huo Qiong tried to open his eyes, "Uncle has to go back to the city tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again if I fall asleep."
Thinking of the bandit suppression plan just now, Huo Yan apologized: "Maybe I will not be able to come to the farm for a long time when I return to the city tomorrow."
He intuitively felt that even if Lou Yu didn't let him lead the bandit suppression, he would definitely let him participate.
Huo Qiong was reluctant: "How long is very long?"
"I don't know either." Huo Yan stroked her bun, "Go to sleep."
The next day, Lou Yu led Huo Yan and Yang Guanghuai to the city early, and called Feng Sanmo and Li Shu to discuss the matter of suppressing the bandits.
"Sanmo, I will leave it to you to contact the border guards."
Feng Sanmo: "Follow the order!"
"Once Cheng Da agrees to cooperate, our [-]-grain transport team will start immediately. Huo Yan and Li Shu, you two will lead the troops this time, and we must wipe out the banditry in Wushan, Qingyang!"
Huo Yan suggested: "Uncle Wang and the others have stayed in Yangwu Mountain for a while and are familiar with the terrain of Yangwu Mountain. Why don't you let them go together?"
Yangwu Mountain is not only one mountain, there are many large and small hills, collectively called "Yangwu Mountain".
There wasn't only one group of bandits, Lou Yu and the others were discussing the most powerful group last night, as long as the big ones were wiped out, the rest of the hills wouldn't be a problem.
Wang Dayong and the others only occupied a small hill at that time, but the habit of serving in the army for many years allowed them to touch all the hills, large and small, of Yangwu Mountain.
It will be much more convenient if you take them with you.
Lou Yu nodded and agreed: "As you said. If the trip goes well, all those who participated in the suppression of the bandits will be rewarded."
Li Shu is going to go out for the first time. Although it is only to suppress bandits, he is still very excited.
He said with a silly face, "Your Highness, what about the city defense?"
Lou Yu asked, "What do you think?"
Li Shu thought for a while, then scratched his cheek and said, "It's better to let He Dazhou take over the city defense, he has experience."
"No need," Lou Yu vetoed his suggestion, "Are there any outstanding performers in the army? If so, they can be promoted. Do you want to be the commander of the army for the rest of your life?"
Li Shu's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, I will pick a good seedling when I go back!"
The results of each evaluation in the government barracks are recorded in the record. Li Shu knows very well that there are talents he admires, but he has to do some work to save face, and he cannot directly name them on the spot.
Lou Yu said: "At that time, He Dazhou will be the assistant."
It's true that He Dazhou can't be left on the bench all the time, too much pressure will make people feel chilling, and he needs to be given some hope.
Li Shu happily agreed.
"If you have any other suggestions, feel free to tell me." Lou Yu looked around at several people.
Huo Yan has a family background and has the most experience in marching. He said: "There may be casualties in the suppression of bandits, and a military doctor is needed to accompany him."
"What should we do?" Li Shu was a little at a loss, "We don't have a military doctor."
Not even recruiting.
Who is willing to give up the easy life and go to the battlefield of swords and swords?
Lou Yu said, "I'll ask Chen Chuanbai."
Li Shu: "The old man is too old to stand up."
"His Lilac Hall can always recruit several doctors."
"What if he doesn't want to?"
Nobody is a fool.
Lou Yu was silent for a moment, wondering: "Then you can only lie to one person."
cheat?How to cheat?
In Tianzhuang Medical Center, Chen Chuanbai finished his class and walked outside the hospital to relax his muscles and bones, when he heard a few young boys muttering.
It seems that Master Yang's students are whispering.
He didn't want to hear more, but he heard one of the young men say: "What if the barbarians call?"
"Probably not? Jizhou is still guarded by frontier troops."
"But the frontier soldiers are almost out of food, can they fight without food?"
"Didn't Master say that His Highness wants to send food to the frontier army?"
"But the delivery of food has to go through Yangwu Mountain. We came to Qingzhou and passed there. There are many bandits. Your Highness sent so much food there. What if the bandits rob you?"
"We have soldiers, so we can suppress bandits by the way."
"The suppressing bandits are very likely to be injured. If the injuries cannot be treated in time, the food cannot be delivered to the border in time, and the border troops will not have the strength to defend the city. In the end, they will still be broken by the barbarians."
A few young boys were frowning and sighing quietly, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Chen Chuanbai frowned and went back to the hospital, sitting at the table and began to sigh again and again.
His grandson Chen Xuanshen asked with concern: "Why is grandpa worried?"
Chen Chuanbai told him what happened just now, and at the end he had a sad face: "The frontier army has no food, but the imperial court doesn't care. Your Highness sends people to deliver food, and you have to worry about bandits looting. If the food delivery team is really injured, it can't be treated in time , that would be terrible."
"Grandpa," Chen Xuanshen said calmly, "Did you forget what our family does?"
"you……"
The young man has handsome features and a firm expression: "Grandpa, grandson also wants to contribute."
Chen Chuanbai was shocked.
His grandson has a talent for studying medicine since he was a child, and now he has inherited his mantle and is able to see a doctor independently.
Chen Chuanbai believed in his medical skills, but couldn't bear him to travel long distances and experience swords and swords.
"Grandpa, the doctor hangs the pot to help the world. His Highness sent people to deliver food, which is a kind deed that benefits the country and the people. The soldiers who transport food need us."
Chen Xuanshen is still young and has a passion for it.If everyone shrinks back and everyone is afraid, then sooner or later Dasheng will be occupied by foreign races.
Chen Chuanbai shook his head, "You don't have to go, I'll go."
His old bones have lived enough, even if he is in danger, it's no big deal.
The grandparent and the grandson were at a stalemate, neither of them wanted the other to be in danger, and in the end, all the apprentices in the medical center knew about the trouble.
As a result, young and passionate apprentices also joined in.
Chen Chuanbai couldn't help shouting: "Why are you making trouble!"
"Master, we can help out and accumulate experience!"
It's not every day that someone gets sick in Zhuangzi, and even if they get sick, it's just a minor illness and pain. Except for the last time the bandits attacked the village, they didn't see many people and treated their injuries.
Anyone who has a little pursuit hopes that he can save more wounded.
Of course, they are not cursing others for getting hurt, it's just that the ration team just needs them.
No casualties are better!
The incident got serious and spread to Lin Dajing's ears. Lin Dajing felt that the matter was difficult, so he asked Wei Si again.
Wei Siting understood the cause and effect, and he had a solid idea in his heart, so he directly reported to Lou Yu.
Lou Yu smiled and said, "Anyone who wants to participate can sign up, and we will be screened at that time."
When the news was sent back to the medical center, the grandparents of the Chen family, Huo Qiong, and some other apprentices rushed to report their names.
Lou Yu took the list and handed it to Huo Yan: "There is a military doctor."
Huo Yan looked down and saw the word "Huo Qiong", his eyes showed worry.
He asked Lou Yu: "How does Your Highness plan to choose?"
Lou Yu upholds a fair and impartial attitude, "Each person depends on his ability."
Huo Yan pinched the list, hesitated to speak.
Lou Yu probably guessed what he was thinking, but there were some things that Huo Yan needed to speak out, not him asking.
"I'll tell Wei Si to arrange an assessment."
Lou Yu consulted his relatives who were doctors in modern times and learned some first aid measures.
In his free time, he had already taught Chen Chuanbai.
These first aid knowledge are very practical, and practical ones are needed on the battlefield.
After Chen Chuanbai learned it, he would also go to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic to see patients. After many experiments, he did find out some experience, and he passed on these experiences to the apprentices in the medical clinic.
These apprentices are all reserve members of the military medical team in the future.
This time, Lou Yu hoped to let them feel the small-scale war at close range, and exercise their psychological quality and on-the-spot reaction ability.
Although the apprentices are still young, Huo Yan is only 15 years old, and Yang Ji'an is only 11 years old.
Moreover, if Cheng Da, the general of the Jizhou frontier army, is willing to send troops, the grain transportation team should not be in danger.
After the battle between heaven and man, Huo Yan finally said: "Your Highness, the apprentices are still young, and the food transport team has a long way to go, so it may be inconvenient."
Lou Yu said bluntly, "Are you worried about Huo Qiong?"
Huo Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I'm really worried about her."
He felt deeply guilty about it.
Lou Yu mused, "If the apprentices are not suitable, we can only recruit doctors of the right age from the City Traditional Chinese Medicine Center."
Huo Yan also knew that he shouldn't say this, but he was too scared.
The tragic death of his parents, brother and sister-in-law once became his nightmare, and he dared not experience the pain of being injured or losing a loved one again.
Lou Yu glanced at him, and deliberately sighed: "Huo Yan, you are embarrassing me."
Huo Yan clasped the list with his fingers, fighting left and right in his heart.
Thinking of the scene of Huo Qiong's hard work, the scene of Lou Yu's painstaking efforts, and the soldiers of the government who were about to be in danger, he was still shaken after all.
It is difficult to choose between private and public.
But on second thought, the Huo family were born to take risks.
Justice overcame selfishness, Huo Yan had made up his mind.
Lou Yu said, "It's okay not to let the apprentices go, but the premise is that you must ensure the safety of the food delivery team!"
"I need you to bring them back wholeheartedly! I know it's near impossible, but I want you to aim for this!"
"You are Huo Yan, you are the Huo family, I hope you will not fall into the Huo family's prestige."
Huo Yanqi wanted to answer, but found that his throat was so sore that he couldn't say a word.
The face of the young man in front of him was bright, and his clear eyes were full of trust and kindness towards him.
He asked hoarsely, "The military doctor..."
Lou Yu didn't care much and said, "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. I don't believe that there are not a few doctors in the whole city who are willing to join the army!"
He originally planned to train the apprentices, but thinking of Huo Yan's family ruined and lost several relatives not long ago, he somewhat understood how much he valued his relatives.
And if you think about it carefully, although the apprentice has seen the scene of bandits attacking the village, he is still young and it is inconvenient for him to join the army.
Huo Yan's thinking is not without reason.
He temporarily changed his mind.
This can not only motivate Huo Yan, but also make Huo Yan owe himself a favor.
Huo Yan's chest gradually became hot.
His eyes were dark, and he said solemnly: "Huo will definitely live up to his trust."
Lou Yu smiled at the corners of his eyes, his brows brightened.
"I believe you!"
After changing his mind, Lou Yu asked the medical center to conduct an assessment.
When the final assessment results came out, only Chen Xuancan passed.
Chen Chuanbai is too old, he can't do it; Huo Qiong is too young, he can't do it; the rest of the apprentices are not skilled enough, they can't do it either.
Only Chen Xuanshen met the requirements in all aspects.
Lou Yu already liked Chen Xuanshen in his heart. Let him serve as the team leader of the military medical team, and recruit other doctors as auxiliary staff, which is enough for this bandit suppression.
The team leader made a decision, and now we are waiting for the team members to arrive.
Once Cheng Da had definite news, he would spend a lot of money to recruit doctors from all over the city.
The galloping horseshoes stopped suddenly, Cheng Da dismounted in front of the camp, and returned to the camp surrounded by his personal guards.
He had just fought against a small group of barbarian cavalry, the armor was stained with a lot of barbarian blood, and his arm was also cut by the barbarian.
The personal guard immediately called the military doctor to bandage him.
Cheng Dada sat down with a golden knife, frowned and asked, "Is there any news from the imperial court?"
"General," the deputy general said with a bitter face, "it is said that the treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Households cannot allocate money and food."
"Can't get it out?" Cheng Da slammed his fist on the table, his eyes were fierce, "Can't get it out to make us drink the northwest wind?! Where did last year's harvest go?"
There was resentment in the words of the deputy general: "I heard that the emperor wants to build a Phoenix Terrace for the noble concubine, how can he care about us."
"What platform?" Cheng Da was stunned, "She's not a queen, so repairing the Phoenix Terrace is not afraid of shortening her life?"
The lieutenant also shook his head helplessly, "Who knows."
"Is this for me to watch my brothers starve to death!" Cheng Da punched again, and the desk case cracked open.
If it weren't for the frontier army's habit of farming and farming, they wouldn't be able to last so long.
But last year's harvest was not good, and there was another snowstorm. They really had nothing to eat, and they all tightened their belts to live.
Sometimes a small group of barbarian cavalry plundered the border towns, robbing the people of money and food, and Cheng Da led his troops to drive them away.
Hungry and tired, many soldiers fell down.
If this continues, the barbarians don't need to fight at all, they can just boil them to death.
Cheng Da's eyebrows were frowned, and he couldn't think of a way out.
At this moment, the soldiers came to report: "General, there is a messenger from Qingzhou."
"Gyeongju?"
Cheng Da was deeply surprised, he had no acquaintances in Gyeongju.
Looking at the lieutenant, the lieutenant also looked blank.
The two stared at each other, the lieutenant stared sourly, blinked and asked the soldiers: "How many people are there?"
"One messenger."
The lieutenant general said to Cheng Da: "It's just one person, why not meet?"
Cheng Da waved his hand and ordered to meet the messenger.
The matter is so important this time, Feng Sanmo came here in person.
He was dressed in black clothes, with a calm face, and he entered the camp alone, showing no signs of timidity.
Seeing that he was only a teenager, Cheng Da frowned involuntarily. Didn't he mean the messenger? Why is there a baby?
"Who are you? What are you doing?" he asked gruffly.
Feng Sanmo was neither humble nor overbearing, and saluted: "Feng Sanmo, under the order of Prince Qing's son, came to discuss with General Cheng about the transportation of grain."
Transport food?
Cheng Da regained his energy in an instant, and laughed, "Brother Feng, why don't you sit down and talk about it in detail."
Feng Sanmo sat down as he said, his thin body looked so weak that it was easy for people to let go of their guards.
Both Cheng Da and the lieutenant relaxed, waiting for him to talk about the food delivery.
"Since last year, many disaster victims from Jizhou have fled to Gyeongju, some because of the snow disaster, and some who went south because of barbarian looting. Seeing this, His Highness is very worried."
Cheng Da didn't know King Qing, let alone Prince Qing's son, so he couldn't help asking, "What is he worried about?"
Feng Sanmo said: "Worry about the barbarians going south. If there is a loss in Jizhou, Qingzhou's lips will be dead and teeth will be cold."
"What disgusting words are you talking about!" Cheng Da said angrily, "Is he looking down on Laozi? If the barbarians want to go south, they have to step over Laozi's corpse!"
Feng Sanmo's expression remained unchanged, and he asked instead: "What if Jizhou runs out of food?"
Cheng Da was silent.
This is an indisputable fact, they are indeed out of food right now.
Feng Sanmo cut to the chase, "His Royal Highness naturally hopes that the general will be able to guard the pass, so he intends to send food to the border pass for emergency."
"Really?!" Both Cheng Da and the lieutenant's eyes lit up.
Waiting for the imperial court to distribute the food is not yet known until the year of the monkey, if Qingzhou can really send food to rescue the emergency, that would be a great thing!
Cheng Da was about to respond when he suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Why is it the prince Qing's son who sent the food instead of the prefect of Qingzhou?"
The difference between the two is huge.
Facing Cheng Da's suspicious eyes, Feng Sanmo remained calm and composed: "The court has no food, and the magistrate naturally has no food. Not everyone inside and outside the court is like General Cheng, who is willing to devote himself to guarding Dasheng."
Hearing this compliment, Cheng Da felt refreshed all over. He laughed and slapped his thigh with his palm like a cattail fan.
"The prince generously donated, Cheng is very grateful!"
He wasn't worried that Feng Sanmo was lying to him, he would know if he had any food when he saw it, and he didn't lose anything if he was cheated, and it could boost morale in a short time.
Feng Sanmo said: "It's just that the world is in chaos now. Although His Highness has food, there is no one to use it. His Highness has heard that bandits in Yangwu Mountain are rampant and often rob property and food. He is worried that the bandits will rob the food during the transportation. The consequences will be disastrous. "
Cheng Da understood.
He pondered: "Do you want me to send troops to protect the food?"
Feng Sanmo nodded, "His Royal Highness hopes that the general can send troops to Yangwu Mountain in due course so that the food will not be taken away by bandits."
This makes sense, and Cheng Da, a bandit sufferer in Yangwu Mountain, has also heard of it.
He looked at the lieutenant.
The deputy general asked Feng Sanmo: "Is there any token for the son?"
I didn't ask for the token just because it was unnecessary.Now that troops need to be dispatched, they naturally have to distinguish the authenticity from the false.
Feng Sanmo took out a letter from his sleeve in a calm manner: "The letter is inscribed with King Qing's seal, general, please read it."
The prince doesn't have a seal yet, so he can only use King Qing's.
The seal inscription cannot be faked, Cheng Da and the deputy general believed it immediately after watching it.
Cheng Da asked the last doubt: "Where does the food for the son come from?"
In other words, where did the prince get the money to buy so much food?Didn't you see that the imperial court couldn't afford money and food?
Feng Sanmo said: "The lack of money in the imperial court does not mean that the officials and wealthy gentry have no money; the absence of food in the imperial court does not mean that the rich merchants and landlords have no food."
He pointed to the letter paper, "The two generals may wish to read this paper carefully."
Both of them are military generals, and they didn't see any tricks after watching for a long time.
Both looked up blankly.
Feng Sanmo had no choice but to explain: "This is a new paper produced by His Highness's paper mill. The texture is like jade, far superior to ordinary paper. It is very popular among literati. Some gentry are arty and are willing to buy it at a high price."
Of course, this sentence was to fool Cheng Da, Lou Yu's paper hasn't been sold yet.But Dayuan was at the border, so he didn't know these things at all.
Cheng Da was a rough man, he didn't quite understand how much a piece of paper could sell for, so he summoned his soldiers: "Go and ask for a military adviser."
The military division likes to dance and write, so he must have the ability to appreciate.
Feng Sanmo looked calm, waiting for the military division to come.
After a while, the military division stepped into the camp, his brows furrowed deeply: "General, why did you call me?"
With the famine looming, he had no time to pay attention to other things.
Cheng Da handed the paper in front of him, "Take a look."
When the military adviser saw that it was a letter, he thought it was news from the imperial court. He couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly accepted it.
The letter did say about sending food, but it was signed by King Qing.
military adviser:"……"
His eyes fell on Feng Sanmo's face, and his expression was light: "Where do you get the food in Qingzhou?"
Cheng Da immediately said, "First, see what's different about this paper?"
The military master was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that his fingertips felt as smooth as fat to the touch, and then he looked down, only to feel that the paper was glowing faintly, as moist and smooth as jade.
Cheng Da looked forward to asking: "How?"
The military division took a deep breath, "Good paper, top quality."
He fell in love with this piece of paper instantly, and the way he looked at Feng Sanmo had changed.
"A military division has extraordinary eyesight," Feng Sanmo said, "if this paper sells for a high price, wouldn't it be surprising?"
"It's not unusual, it's not unusual!" The military master held the paper reluctantly, "Where did this paper come from?"
The deputy general said quickly: "It was made by Prince Qing's son's paper-making workshop, and this paper was exchanged for a lot of food before it could be shipped to us!"
He is acquainted with the military division, and he can make the military division so excited, which shows how good this paper is.
Cheng Da and the deputy general believed Feng Sanmo's words completely.
The military division also believed seven points.
After the three discussed, they decided to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to Yangwu Mountain to welcome the food.
Feng Sanmo said: "I will send a message to Your Highness immediately."
All three of them said: "My son's heart is attached to Dasheng, it is the blessing of Dasheng."
Feng Sanmo lowered his eyebrows.
The carrier pigeon flew into Prince Qing's mansion, Lou Yu's spirit was shaken after watching the letter, and he hurriedly ordered to go down.
"Huo Yan, Li Shu, immediately prepare food and order a thousand soldiers. Erbi, immediately post a notice in the city, recruiting doctors to join the army with a lot of money!"
Everyone quickly took orders to act.
The city of Qingzhou became lively again, everyone was discussing the fact that Prince Qing's mansion paid a lot of money to seek medical treatment and join the army.
Many doctors were inevitably moved.
Although it is dangerous to be a military doctor, wealth and wealth are in danger.
And this time I was only going to suppress the bandits, not to fight the barbarians, so there shouldn't be any danger.What's more, they are just doctors and don't need to go to the battlefield.
"Go this trip, there will be 100 taels!"
"My God! This is not a big profit!"
"100 taels! I have never seen so much money in my life!"
Contrary to Lou Yu's expectation, there are quite a lot of applicants.
He thought that 100 taels would not be so attractive.
Lou Yu didn't know much about the personal qualities of Fucheng doctors, so he went to ask Chen Chuanbai for advice and made five appointments.
He handed over the final list to Huo Yan, "Including Chen Xuanshen, a total of six people should be enough."
After all, the soldiers sent by Cheng Da are the main force.
Huo Yan looked at the five names on the list, feeling a little guilty.
If he didn't want Huo Qiong to join the army, Lou Yu wouldn't have to pay the 500 taels.And these 500 taels can be exchanged for more food.
The young man's fingers trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and said hoarsely, "Thank you."
Seeing him like this, Lou Yu couldn't help but reflect on whether he had gone too far.
He patted Huo Yan on the shoulder, looked at him, and said sincerely: "I didn't intend to let the apprentices from the medical center join the army. What I did before was just to test the minds of the apprentices."
They are all reserve soldiers. If they are cowardly and weak, how can they take on big responsibilities in the future?
Huo Yan knew that he deliberately said this to comfort himself, and his heart was even more touched.
"Your Highness, Huo's trip will definitely live up to expectations!"
Lou Yu felt a little guilty, always felt that he was abducting a 15-year-old innocent boy.
On the sixth day of June, the sky was clear.
Lou Yu watched Huo Yan and Li Shu lead [-] government soldiers to Yangwu Mountain with food in front of the city gate of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Whether you can get the mine or not depends on this move.
Yangwu Mountain is located at the junction of Jizhou and Qingzhou, where the mountains stretch and the scenery is beautiful.
It's a pity that there are nests and nests of bandits hiding.
The largest bandit nest is in Heijiling. Compared with other small bandits, they are clearly organized and disciplined. No one dares to stroke their beards in the Yangwu Mountain area.
On that day, in the arms of a beautiful woman from Heijiling University, a servant came to report: "The head of the family, the spies came to report that there was a large team forty miles away, and they were escorting food in the direction of Jizhou. There are many cars!"
The head of the family pushed the beauty away, and asked enthusiastically, "Is it really food? All of it?"
"It should be right!"
"How many of them are there?" The head of the family picked up a big knife and went out with his chest open.
Minion: "About 1000 people."
"So much?!" The headmaster couldn't help but put down the knife, rubbing his chin hesitantly.
If it is an ordinary caravan, there should not be so many people, 1000 people, could it be the imperial court officers and soldiers?
"What do they look like? Do they have weapons?"
"They're all dressed in black, and they're holding sticks in their hands. They're nothing compared to us."
The head of the family turned around to find his good brother to discuss.
They were used to bandits, and everything they enjoyed was snatched from the bottom of the mountain. It was impossible not to be tempted by such a large amount of food.
The second leader was calmer: "If it is an officer and soldier of the imperial court, it is difficult for us to make a move."
"Who cares who the hell!" The third master slammed his fist on the table with a ferocious look, "Since we are going to cross our Yangwu Mountain, we don't have to keep our lives, but we have to keep money!"
