The general's wife is sick

In the other room, Ma Menxi was stupefied by Dai Mengyun, "...if the people don't rebel, then the people in Yuzhou will die left and right. They will be crushed to death by the snow in their sleep, and those who are not crushed to death will be starved to death." Those who were not starved to death were forced to death by corrupt officials. If not, Yuzhou is now desolate and troublesome people will continue for decades or even hundreds of years, so resistance is the only result of this matter!"

When the two reached the door, they heard Dai Mengyun deliver his final speech. Xiong Jinghai pushed the door expressionlessly and entered.

"Go on, I'm very interested."

Regardless of who came, Dai Mengyun even refilled a cup of tea for himself, and continued to narrate calmly, "After the resistance, no, I have attracted you. No matter how angry the Holy Majesty is today, he will start thinking about the matter of Yuzhou again, and won the emperor's favor." Pay attention, presumably, these corrupt officials will be replaced from top to bottom, no matter whether the new officials are good or bad, the lessons learned from the past, in a short period of time, there will be no more corruption in Yuzhou, just like a dozen or so The river dam dereliction of duty case years ago."

"Is it worth it for you?" Xiong Jinghai sat down at the table, and Ma Menxi poured tea for him.

Dai Mengyun looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, "Is it worth it? The land of Yuzhou is like a stubborn ringworm attached to this fertile land. If they are not completely removed, they will always take root in this land. Harm to generations of people."

"Okay, your courage and courage are not like that of a rural teacher, but you make me look at you differently."

"I'm the mastermind, and Bai Yihuang just suffered for me. I'm willing to plead guilty. Please let him go." Dai Mengyun looked lonely. Since he was caught by Xiong Jinghai at night, he has been very indifferent until now. Xi said that the general had personally interrogated Bai Yiming, and he pleaded guilty.

"You all go out."

After Xie Kun and Ma Menxi went out, Xiong Jinghai suddenly pulled out his Mo Dao and put it on the table. The collision between the scabbard and the table made Dai Mengyun flinch involuntarily.

"Tell me the truth, I will consider letting you go."

Dai Mengyun swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on his movements, for fear that he would violently strike him at any time. "General, I'm telling the truth."

"After you were admitted as a scholar, you let go of the great opportunity to leave the land of Yuzhou. Instead of continuing to participate in the provincial examination, you returned to this place full of rough people to teach everyone to read and write. Your ambition is really lofty." Xiong Jinghai expressed his doubts sentence by sentence.

"Back to the general, I just want to free the people of Yuzhou from this sea of ​​suffering."

"If you don't tell the truth, then first ask the master if he agrees with the knife!"

Dai Mengyun screamed, covered his head with both hands reflexively, squatted down on the spot, "Ah!"

Xiong Jinghai sneered, watching his movements, he put down the scabbard he held up high, "Get up, I won't kill you, I will save you to deal with the emperor."

After leaving the door, Xie Kun acted like a full-fledged melon eater, "Boss, what's wrong with him, did you scare him?"

"Let's go, let's go to dinner, arrest those corrupt officials after dinner, and serve these masters well!"

Xie Kun was the first to respond again, "Okay, I've wanted to do something to them for a long time, but seeing them dangling in front of my eyes for the past two days, I'm always upset!"

Ma Menxi followed behind the two, and looked at Dai Mengyun's room with some doubts. Xiong Jinghai didn't just come here to scare Dai Mengyun, did he?

Xiong Jinghai moved extremely fast, the emperor was his uncle, and the right to act cheaply was in his hands early on.

Long before Xiong Jinghai came, Dai Mengyun shot and detained all government officials in a house, and locked up all their family members. The mansions of several famous corrupt officials in Yuzhou were all searched, and all the money was registered and recorded, and taken from the people. Use it for the people.

Although Xiong Jinghai had already controlled Bai Yiming, Dai Mengyun and others in the past two days, he did not send people to release these officials for a long time, and he insisted on letting them stay in a difficult environment for another two days before leading them to release them.

"My subordinates will see General Xiong!"

"My subordinates will see General Xiong!"

The detained officials thought that Xiong Jinghai was their savior, so they straightened their clothes and hats and saluted in gratitude.

"You don't have to be polite, I just ask you to change places. The state prison in Yuzhou has been cleaned up. Before the suspicion on you is cleared, please move forward. When the court finds out the truth, it will definitely give you justice. .”

These people were looking forward to the people from the imperial court, but they were greeted by another prison.

The turmoil subsided, and Bai Yiming and Dai Mengyun were taken down without any damage. Xie Kun lamented while drinking and warming up at night, "Is this an opponent? It's too easy!"

Ma Menxi looked at Xiong Jinghai without making a sound, and said, "I just think it's not that they are too weak, but that Dai Mengyun wants to use our hands to end this mess when they hear us coming."

Xie Kun was puzzled, "Ah? Really?"

Xiong Jinghai didn't refute. Ma Menxi said after thinking for a moment, "He wanted to attract the attention of the court, but he didn't trust the officials he sent, so he always responded by fleeing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be encircled and suppressed again and again, and he would be able to do it every time." Let them escape. We came, although it was a surprise attack at night, neither we nor he really hurt anyone, so I guess, when the emperor ordered the boss to come over to quell the chaos, he had already thought of his own ending."

"He thinks so much!" Xie Kun shrugged, saying that it doesn't matter, it's better if there are no casualties, and he can still receive the reward when he goes back, and save another sum of money to marry a wife!

"It's you who don't even think about it!" Ma Menxi had nothing to do with Xie Kun. This person only knew how to obey orders and had no ability to think independently.

"Why do I think so much? It's fine if I can fight!" Xie Kun still felt that he was very reasonable.

Ma Menxi is also familiar with his behavior habits, so she is too lazy to talk to him now.

"Quickly deal with the chaos here, and send someone to send a letter to Zhucheng after it's done," Xiong Jinghai said.

"Send a letter to Zhucheng?" Xie Kun asked, "Who send it to?"

Xiong Jinghai took a sip of wine, feeling warm all over his body and heart, got up and left, "Send a letter to my grandmother!"

Looking blankly at Xiong Jinghai's back, Xie Kun couldn't make up his mind, "Didn't General Xiong's mother die early, and she wasn't buried in Zhucheng?"

Ma Menxi knocked on him, "You're so stupid, isn't the old lady of Ji's family in Zhucheng? You, you, use your brain more!"

Xie Kun suddenly realized, "Ah, so it's Ji Liu Shuangshao!"

A fast horse galloped on the official road, and the messenger rushed to Zhucheng in the wind and snow.

Besides, in the capital city, Xiong Jinghai's thunderous means entered Yuzhou to settle the matter within two days, the mastermind of the rebellion was arrested, and the corruption case of all the officials had to be resolved by the Holy One.

Upon learning of this good news, the Emperor Longxin was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to take over the mess and investigate the corruption case.But Yuzhou still needs Xiong Jinghai to sit in the town, otherwise the new officials will not be able to take over the field, and the preparatory work in the early stage will be in vain, so Xiong Jinghai has to stay in Yuzhou for the time being to continue the reconstruction work.

Ji Liu looked at the weather outside the window. Although Xiong Jinghai didn't use his tricks, he had to admit that his surprise attack solved the chaos faster and didn't hurt a single soldier. Xiong Jinghai is indeed a military genius!

If he had known this, he shouldn't have stayed up all night to make so many ointments for him, causing him to use fine powder to cover his dark circles for several days.

Counting in his mind that his grandmother had heard the news that the chaos in Yuzhou had been put down, those soybean seeds would leave soon. Before that, his boot shop was going to recruit workers in Yuzhou.

The first two orders for the boot shop were for military supplies. Now that Xianyige has entered into the Xungui family in the capital, his shoes are no longer aimed at the same group of people, but turned to expand production and focus on civilian boots.

In order to reduce the cost, when he made the boots, he changed the original cowhide on the tongue into ordinary linen, put on the mouth on both sides, made straps, and strung them together with hemp rope, which can not only ensure the fit of the boots but also make the boots fit according to his own needs. Adjust the fit for comfort.

This time I went to Yuzhou to recruit workers for only one job, that is, rubbing hemp rope.

He already knew that the land of Yuzhou was barren, but it was rich in various hemp trees.

There are many kinds of hemp trees that can make hemp rope, many of which are annual herbaceous plants, but the hemp tree in Yuzhou is a relatively peculiar perennial woody plant, with tall plants and strong branches. Very strong and durable.

When there is hemp tree, there are hemp leaves. After cutting off the hemp leaves, remove the leaves, and then soak the stems in clear water or flowing river water until the skin rots. There will be a layer of skin on the rotten hemp leaves. After removing it, Then carry out the process of washing and drying, and then divide it into strands. The thickness of the hemp rope depends only on the number of strands. If the number of strands is large, the hemp rope will be thicker, and vice versa.

It's just that the hemp rope is very rough, and it will hurt your hands if you rub it with your hands. Over time, it is common for the skin to be worn out.

Ji Liu has never seen a machine that can twist rope, let alone make it, so he can only hire people to twist out the finished hemp rope.

The people in Yuzhou are currently short of money, and the government's disaster relief is only for emergency, but he is providing these people with an opportunity for sustainable development, ensuring that even if the snowstorm passes and the relief money runs out, they will not starve to death in the future.

The workshops in the capital have already brought out new apprentices from old masters, and I heard from Feng Shuning that several skilled workers have performed very well.

This time, Ji Liu planned to let them go to Yuzhou to lead the local people to twist hemp rope.

The reason why he dared to let newcomers pass this thing is because before his civilian boots appeared, no one knew what he was going to do with hemp rope. In the past, hemp rope was only used to bind bulky goods, boats, and cars. more.The second is that the hemp rope is too rough, even if it is known that he is going to use it on shoes, no one will take him one step ahead and make the boots he designed.Third, he did not place his hopes on the hemp trees in Yuzhou in winter. After all, the mature hemp leaves in autumn are the best for rubbing hemp rope.

As soon as the news of Xiong Jinghai's chaos arrived, Feng Shuning immediately arranged for people to leave for Yuzhou. In order to make these people leave home willingly, Ji Liu paid three times the current wages.

When Feng Shuning appointed people, he never thought that one day he would not only be able to open popular shops in the capital, but also expand his business territory to other regions. Master!
