Li Xun, who was supported by Wang Juan’s tactics, was completely relieved. The large troops retreated. Except for the two thousand troops who had been instructed by the fleet in advance, they had already set fire. Li Xun stayed two thousand people to respond and divided into small units. Followed to set fire.
Thick billowing smoke rose from all directions, blowing back and forth with the change of the wind direction. Those who had set off the fire all hid to the beach, staying still, and under the cover of the gunboat that could not continue northward at sea.
Looking at the gray sky, Li Xun sighed, as if talking to himself or talking to the people around him, "Unfortunately, this time I don’t know how much wealth I will lose. It’s all on me. I didn’t succeed in defeating the Blackwater Dudu Mansion. , Otherwise, why bother to make such a bad move."
Joining the army was by Li Xun's side. He was very puzzled when he heard Li Xun's words. He said with comfort: "His Royal Highness, why bother to be sad. Even if it is burned, the trees in the Black Water Dudu Mansion will be burned. What a pity."
Others who only knew about war nodded in agreement.
Li Xunlai laughed, "What do you know, there is no Heishui Dudu Mansion. You have to take a long-term view. Now it looks like someone else’s place. When things are over, it will be my Datang’s place. There are many trees that can be used as pillars. There are cherished beasts and medicinal materials on the mountain, and they disappeared all at once.
Do you know how much money was lost? It’s not counted. If the burned development is developed, it may be able to contribute to one-fifth of my Datang, the damn Heishui Dudu’s mansion, play with me in the strong walls and clear the wild, fight with me in guerrilla warfare, isn’t it just seeing The soldiers brought can't adapt to the environment? "
Joining the army was surprised, "So much money? I knew it would be better to let Wang Juan lead the soldiers to fight. I think she can definitely defeat the Heishui Dudu Mansion directly with her ability."
After joining the army, he realized that he was belittling the Tongan County King. Just as he was about to explain, Li Xun waved his hand first.
"Yes, I am inferior to the cuckoo, but cuckoo can never come to command the army. Doesn't it mean that I have her in the Tang Dynasty? That's why they only gave me ideas and didn't come here in person.
This battle must be won, no matter how much resources are lost, and regardless of the number of casualties of the Datang army, not only is it to win, but a result must be produced in a short period of time, and it cannot be delayed. read. "
After joining the army, he sighed and echoed: "His Royal Highness said that I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan should not participate in everything, otherwise others should look at me and burn it, and I would rather lose it."
Li Xun laughed at this moment, "Who said that they don't participate, just don't fight directly. After the shortage is almost the same, Zhang Xiaobao will definitely have a way to minimize the loss. Since they came up with the idea, they have follow-up calculations. ."
"Really benefit from it?" Joining the army doesn't believe it, and it's all burned. What good can it do
"I don't know about others, but Little Treasure will definitely not just destroy it. Maybe it's another trick. Wait and see, then you will know."
Li Xun had no doubts about Zhang Xiaobao's ability, and he looked at the sky as gray smoke, and he was in a much better mood.
…
In the state capital of Jilizhou, Yan Jiang, who became a judge, finally got together with his younger brother. Speaking of the various things after the separation, although they used to communicate on letter paper, they were not as good as face-to-face communication.
His younger brother is now much more honest, and he no longer thinks about corruption and bribery. At the beginning, he was brave because he wanted to use his life to make more money, and then provide it to his family, such as his father and this brother. .
Now he is more worried about whether his actions at the beginning will hurt his family. After learning that his brother had embezzled 60,000 guan and nothing happened, he secretly admired Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s minds, and decided to do more in the future. A good official.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to live a better life, but that he understands that as long as he follows Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to do things safely, don’t look at the money he has now. Once he leaves office, whether it’s high promotion or flat You can get a very substantial reward for mediating other places.
Nowadays, there is not much money, but so is no spending. All the necessities of life should be provided by the state government. The things given by the Zhang and Wang family can only be described in two words, luxury, and want to be a county magistrate elsewhere. Even if you are greedy, you can't be greedy for the various furniture now placed in your home, and you can't be greedy for the daily refined food.
The two brothers reunited after a long absence, and they had endless words. They sat in the Bihaiyinsha restaurant on the main street of the state mansion from the morning until the moment of the lamp.
Perhaps they knew that there was not much to eat. The two ordered a few cold dishes, warmed up the wine and drank it all the time. At night, the drunk was already drunk, but it was not noisy or noisy, and there was a slightly indescribable one. Smooth.
"Second, I heard that you have been following Zhang Cishi, and you have a good heart. I don't know how much you know about it?" Looking at the brightly lit and bustling scene on the street outside, blowing the wind of early spring, and drinking a big bowl of sober Tang's Yan Jiang became more energetic and asked his younger brother.
The county magistrate Yan Eryan, who was called the second, looked very embarrassed at this time. When he communicated with his brother before, he did not dare to say that he was being spotted and thrown to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to clean up, only that he was spotted by them. , So transferred from another place to Xincai County, next to Baoxin County.
Then he was arranged to Jilizhou, all the way up, from an ordinary county lieutenant to the position of county magistrate, the fungus, ginseng, sea cucumber and other good things brought back by the trustee also said that he performed well, and Zhang Xiaobao alone gave it to him. Yes, in fact, all county magistrates have this treatment.
Hearing the question from my brother, he hesitated, and decided to tell the truth, stood up, said a few words with the restaurant, and soon after, the worker at the Gongfu restaurant brought up a pot of tea.
I poured a cup for my brother, and picked up a cup by myself, and said: "Brother, taste this tip. The fine tip is only a little bit worse than the best tip for the emperor and a small group of important people. You have money outside. Can't buy it."
Yan Jiang froze for a moment, picked up the product, and nodded: "It is indeed better than the one I bought. The package I bought is also fine. Why does it taste different? Did they cheat?"
Yan Jiang, who drank two sips of tea, felt deceived and was angry.
Yan Er smiled, "I have never cheated. The packaging says that a boutique is a boutique. It's just a top-of-the-line product that can be bought and sold. Those that cannot be bought and sold are not counted. If the eldest brother likes it, please take more when you leave. Oh, it's me. Let’s go, I’m in Fuzhong now. I should go back to Yiying County, so I don’t have to keep it for Big Brother."
"Why, I don't give good tea to my brother, saying that I can't buy it. Where did your tea come from?" Yan Jiang clicked his mouth, aftertaste the bitterness and sweetness, obviously happy that his brother is now. Live a good life.
"Deposited in Bihai Yinsha, the eldest brother is now the judge of Jilizhou. Welfare is only high and not low compared to the younger brother. The younger brother will not use his own things to make up, saying that he understands the history of Zhang Ci, and he does.
How could the so-called enemy not understand? It’s a pity that my opponent did so badly. They didn’t recognize me as an opponent. I tried my best to make something. They didn’t look at me at all. To deal with Zhang Cishi, it is nothing more than idiotic talk about dreams. The elder brother wants to know which aspect, and the younger brother listens to what he has learned. "
Yan Er said his original thoughts, and the whole person was a lot easier, as if he had let go of the heavy burden.
Yan Jiang was taken aback by his words, and he started to look at his younger brother again, wanting to see if his younger brother had three heads and six arms, and he dared to fight against Zhang Cishi.
After watching for a while, he lowered his voice, "Second, didn't the letter say that Zhang Cishi was interested in you? How did it change?"
Yan Er smiled bitterly, "How can he look at me? Any inner courtyard in his house is better than me. The emperor is attracted to me, no, the emperor is in love with him, and he doesn’t know me. The officials squeezed into the two of them to make adjustments.
I was not the first one. At the beginning, I was a man named He Yiwei. Now I am a high official in Yaozhou. I am a later one. The emperor wanted to see his abilities, so he kept throwing me beside them. After grinding and grinding, the edges and corners in my heart are also smoothed.
Before coming to Jilizhou, I always wanted to make trouble for them. The result was unsuccessful and I was dissatisfied. I would try to understand as much as possible so that I can write to you about how to build a place.
Don't worry, eldest brother, now that I have given up my previous plans for my younger brother, I am ready to follow them as a good official, so that I won't be messy like before. "
When Yan Jiang heard the words behind his younger brother, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, exhaled, and asked, "Then how much do you know?"
"That's too much. I now know that they have countless money in their family, and they have a lot of shares in the Datang Bank. There are also Shuiyunjian, Haiyunjian, Bihai Yinsha, supermarkets, roads and bridges, and Fleet on the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, sea fleet, and land transportation fleet.
Luzhou is the world of their two families. There are also huge influences in Jinchuan, Tubo. Fengzhou has a large ranch, and Yizhou has a wine field and ski resort, not to mention here.
In addition to these, I also know that their family has a lot of weapons. Not all of them are exposed. I know that the zero seedling team of their two families has begun to form their own teams. They are trained according to the generals, and I know their inner courtyard. Each of his servants has great abilities.
I know the more important thing that others don’t understand, that is, after observing this period of time, I found that their minds were not focused on fighting with Datang officials, nor on running against Datang’s other businessmen. They I want to solve all problems at once, such as... "
Yan Er told his brother what he had learned. He was talking about this, and his mouth was covered by his brother before he was finished.
Yan Jiang looked around nervously, seeing that there was no one else, his face turned yellow, and he leaned to his brother's ear vigilantly. "Second, let's not say what others are going to do. There must be evidence for rebellion, otherwise the misfortune will come out of the mouth. ."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Rebellion? Who rebelled? I didn't say that King Zhang's family would rebel. If they wanted to rebel, they would have rebelled. With the strength of their family, they can at least be rebelled without being directly emperor. Today, Datang is in charge of half of the country.
What I want to say is, for example, they sent people to walk along the sea, as if to find some very good things. From the people in his inner courtyard, they heard a few words from time to time, saying that as long as they find those few things, From now on, I Datang will not have to fear any disasters.
Also, they want to turn all places that can be seen into the land of my Datang, Xinyuan Island is one of them, and there will be more in the future, such as the Bohai Dudu Mansion. In the past, my dynasty could not directly rule, now it will do. , The Heishui Dudu Mansion that is under attack, once it is defeated, they will continue to occupy the north.
Brother, what I want to say is that with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, you don’t have to worry about not having a high official to do it. Wang Juan doesn’t have to worry about losing in battle. Even if there is no legendary magical skills, others can’t hold on with their weapons, Zhang Xiaobao For the construction of places, that ability has reached the level of monsters.
My brother I have studied, and it’s amazing to say that no matter where they go, they can always find local resources very quickly. There are coal mines, iron ore mines, gold, silver and copper mines, etc., as well as various specialty products, such as When I interplanted soybeans and sesame seeds in Xincai County, and then produced sesame oil, it was really different, the taste was good, and the sales were good. "
Yan Er's words stunned his brother.
Yan Jiang knew how powerful the Zhang Wangs were, but he couldn't understand it in such detail. After his brother said, he really knew how powerful the Zhang Wangs were.
"In that way, can they turn stones into gold? No wonder the nine children in their family can be so arrogant, so that they are fourth-rank officials. Asking the case, it turns out that the present-day sage is afraid that they will oppose it."
Yan Jiang's mind is much more balanced, and he no longer thinks about why Xiaobei and others can have such a big official. It belongs to history. It seems that such a thing has never happened.
Yan Er shook his head: "No, no, and that no official, your majesty is..." At this point, Yan Er lowered his voice, "Your Majesty feels that you owe them too much to the King Zhang family, and they do countless transactions. For example, there are the Tracker Association on the Yangtze River, and the Farming Chamber of Commerce and Engineering Team on Jiannan Road.
But the living money they can use has never been much. What the younger brother said is not much referring to the ratio, but it is not really not much. The money for researching all kinds of powerful weapons is from his family, and many soldiers’ welfare is from his family. The money is not the imperial court, roads and bridges, and disaster relief.
Wherever my Datang needs money, his family takes it, and the money is not less. Your Majesty has gained a reputation, has obtained various good technologies, and has obtained territory. Naturally, he will compensate them, so their family’s power is slightly greater. a little bit. "
Suddenly, Yan Jiang, if it weren't for his brother, he really didn't know what was going on inside.
After pondering for a while, he said: "The power is a little bit bigger. For example, Zhang Zhong’s Shangshu, I heard rumors from the capital that his family arranged it by himself, such as my brother’s transfer, and it would be done in one sentence, but in this way, Can his family really support the entire Datang’s flowers? Your Majesty will tolerate Datang’s existence like his family?"
"Of course it will not last long. They are in transition. One is to prevent your majesty from suspicion, and the other is to gradually withdraw from this financial support. For example, here in Gaimu Prefecture, they will find it miraculously. A very large coal mine.
I don’t know how to be so accurate. After I discovered it, I started to contact other people for mining. The same is true for aluminum ore and other mines. If you have money in the distribution of benefits, you can naturally afford the local army.
I heard from the inner court of their family that the tax will be directly managed by the capital in the future, and then sent back, and his family will be evacuated from it at that time. In this way, there is no need to continue to supervise the conscripts, and there is no need to worry about your majesty. "
Yan Er pointed towards the north, and told his brother about the big coal mine found there.
Yan Jiang nodded nonchalantly: "It's really turning stones into gold. You can discover all kinds of mineral resources here, it's amazing."
"The more amazing thing is yet to come, brother, have you heard of kelp?"
"Naturally know, a good thing. Now many school children are eating it. They say that they do not grow their necks after eating. It is also written in the medical classics. What do you mention this thing?"
Yan Jiang has to ask his brother for such a simple question. Look at his brother with his expression.
"Then do you know that kelp can be planted? But do you know that the fungus I usually bring back to my home is grown by their home? Have you seen a place where ginseng is grown? Have you seen any pearls?"
Yan Er asked one question after another. Every time he asked Yan Jiang, he shook his head vigorously, waiting for Yan Er to finish asking. Yan Jiang blinked and said in disbelief: "Don't tell your brother, these They can grow things."
Yan Er didn't directly say affirmative words, but took out a box from his arms, opened it, revealing a necklace made of pearls, and pushed it in front of his brother.
"Big brother, this is a gift from my younger brother to my sister-in-law. Because of the stability of my work in the county, I have given me a reward. This is the three-year artificial cultivation of pearls in Luzhou, and there are more than a dozen bottles of pearl ointment. I never brought it today. Wait for me. Go back and order someone to deliver it to the eldest brother."
Yan Jiang saw the pearl in the box, and he was completely stupid. After a while, he recovered a little. He stretched out and took it to watch carefully. The round shape revealed a brilliant brilliance, especially under the shining of the street lamp. It looks gorgeous and unusual, each one is of average size, about five points.
I haven’t seen a bigger pearl. Although I’ve never owned it, I’ve seen a dozen or so of the same six-point beads together, but it’s different from the string in front of me. It is not easy to find out in the shell.
Today this string is actually raised. If it can be raised, pearls will no longer be as valuable as before. Can pearls be raised too? How did the Zhang Wang family get it
"Can the pearl value fall?" Thinking of this, Yan Jiang asked.
"Nothing. Apart from making cosmetics and jewelry, most of these pearls are sent to the hospital. They are used as medicinal materials. Well, medicinal materials can also be grown. When my brother has time to go to the beach, my brother will tell you where to grow kelp, Zhang Xiaobao and the others. It's called kelp. One of the special seasonings in their restaurant is obtained from kelp."
Yan Er looked very excited, as if he had done all this.
Yan Jiang nodded blankly: "Okay, okay."
…
The stars are sparse and the moon is bright, and the lights are still bright outside.
Yan Jiang, who had returned to his courtyard, had not recovered from the shock.
Today from his younger brother's mouth, he completely knows the details of Wang Wang's family. Now he is not afraid of the huge power of others, but is happy, and his happy head is confused.
He likes to research all kinds of things. Researching things requires a lot of money. If he succeeds, he doesn’t know how much money he will need to supplement. From now on, he just needs to stay with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to get money The problem will not be the problem.
As my younger brother said at the last parting, with Wang Wang and his family, don’t think about other things, do it hard, and be loyal. As the territory gets bigger and bigger, it will inevitably need more officials to hold both Wang and Wang. Home fancy, it is very easy to be a state governor.
I have worked hard, whether for hobbies or for my future status.
Yan Jiang made up his mind, shook his fist, stood up and prepared to go outside to see the beauty of the city that never sleeps in the middle of the street.
As soon as I went out, I met two people, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. There was an indescribable indifference on his face, and the feeling of being easygoing was so outstanding.
No matter how familiar I look, I rubbed my eyes and looked at it carefully with the light of the street lamp. Yes, I know.
"Zhang Cishi and Wang Canjun, why are you two here?" Yan Jiang asked in confusion.
"Yan Pansi, you really want to go for a stroll? Before you came, I bet with Xiaobao. I said that you had a drink with your brother for a day. You should be exhausted. You will rest early and come back tomorrow, but Xiaobao said you will definitely be in the yard. Sit for a while, and then want to come out, don't you think you really came out?"
When Wang Juan spoke, his face was reddened, and he glanced at Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao was proud of his face, and he didn't know what his two bet was.
Yan Jiang didn’t pay attention to other people’s faces. His own face had changed and became extremely pale. He was frightened by the conversation with his younger brother before he came out, and he has not recovered yet. This time he was frightened again. .
This is too amazing, right? Even if I go out or take a rest at night, I can figure it out. I haven't taken a step when I just go out, but someone else's house is blocked at the door.
What else they don't know? No wonder the younger brother is so arrogant and convinced by himself. People do not have the same knowledge as his younger brother. The younger brother does not need to send someone to monitor him. Maybe he will know by pinching his fingers.
Gods, heavens, and the earth, don’t blame others for leading soldiers in wars or doing economic construction. They found that all kinds of mines are so smooth. It can be counted. I can’t blame your Majesty for being so good to them. I want to know their skills. , If it’s not possible, it’s still a national fortune, but the result is sure to be good.
"Master Yan, what do you think? Just right, I have something to say to you. Let's go out and have a look together. To be honest, don't look at the place where the two of me watched the construction, but I didn't have much time to appreciate it. The day is busy, running from east to west, and from west to east."
Wang Juan then called out Yan Jian.
"That is, that is, you two must be very tired, and it is also very hard to calculate." Yan Jiang followed the thoughts just now and said.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were stunned, and at the same time they smiled slightly, without explaining what psychology is, they walked on the street with Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang was a little nervous and excited. He didn't know how to talk to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He looked very bored when he walked out dozens of steps.
Or Zhang Xiaobao said first, "Master Yan, do you want to be an official or a researcher? If you want to be an official, look at the construction of Zhu'a County, as long as you stop greedy for money to do research. I can arrange for you to be a governor in a state."
Zhang Xiaobao's words made Yan Jiang stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and asked, "What if you do research?"
"If you do research, you can’t be a parent officer, you can only be a research officer. It’s not the Ministry of Industry or a military equipment supervisor. It’s a new department that will appear in a short time. The thing to do is to research various technologies. , Other people are busy with the daily management of daily life."
Zhang Xiaobao talked about the things he had considered in the recent period for Yan Jiang to choose.
Yan Jiang knew that Zhang Xiaobao suggested that there will be a department dedicated to doing this in the future, and there will definitely be, and no one in the court can stop it.
What do you want to do? Obediently, as long as you are a research officer, you can no longer control the people. You have to think about it.
Thinking in his heart, Yan Jiang looked up at the bright street lamp on the side of the road, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.
Wang Juan followed the street lamp and introduced: "The electricity used by this street lamp is driven by a wind generator. A tuyere has been found here, and a group has been set up. No matter which direction the wind blows, there are windmills. After that, I usually provide office use and street lights in the state capital, and some businesses who are willing to spend money also received calls.
All these are technological advancements. If the steam engine is well-made and can be used to generate electricity, there is no need to continue to have a vent. Being a parent is a benefit. In fact, researching more advanced technology will also benefit many people.
As for the treatment of technical officials, it is the same as that of administrative officials. At this stage, it is even higher than that of administrative officials. I Datang needs rapid development of technology, leaving other countries far behind, building larger ships, and going. Look for more useful resources overseas. "
When Yan Jiang heard this, he understood what it meant. Wang Juan wanted to make himself a technician. Because he figured out a steam engine, he couldn't help feeling surging, thinking that what he would make in the future could be like this electric light. It also has a great sense of accomplishment to make life convenient for the people.
"Wang Canjun, will my steam engine be used by the people soon? I will continue to improve and try to make it smaller and more usable. What benefits can the people get from it?"
For a moment, Yan Jiang felt that he was great and could apply the things he made to the people.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also admitted that Yan Jiang’s ideas were great, but they could not directly use the steam engine on the people according to Yan Jiang’s statement.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan and said to Yan Jiang, "Master Yan, the steam engine is good, but it can't be used on the people right away."
"Where is it used?" Yan Jiang was surprised.
"It is used on warships. I want to say that Master Yan has also heard about it. We have a very powerful water weapon called a gunboat. Wherever we go, the gods and ghosts retreat, but the speed of the ship is still too slow and it consumes manpower. , A lot of space is wasted.
If you put the steam engine on it, the speed of the ship will become faster, saving space for the oars, and being able to carry more shells, so you can hit whoever you want. "
Zhang Xiaobao bluntly explained to Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang opened his mouth, sighed, and said, "It turns out to be used to kill people. The emergence of technology is not meant to benefit the people immediately?"
"Well, it is used to kill people. If someone refuses to accept it, they will kill. If they do, it is a deterrent. It does not directly benefit the people from the people's livelihood.
Good technology must always be used in the military first, even if the creator of this technology didn't think so at the beginning. For example, when our family made firecrackers, they were actually prepared for future shells.
Now you go around the territory of Tubo and say that you are from Datang, to see if anyone dares to be disrespectful to you? You go to Silla next to you to see if they dare to expel you and look down on you? "
Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that Yan Jiang would give up being a technician. Such talents would not be easy to obtain, especially since Yan Jiang's thinking is what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan need most, so he gave examples when persuading him.
Yan Jiang lowered his head to think about it, then raised his head to look at the people passing by on the street, nodded and said: "Don't dare, they are already scared, especially Silla, your Jilizhou is so close, you can fight on both land and water. In the past, coupled with Wang Canjun's character that will repay him, they dare not.
Just as the Wang Cunjun commanded the Yizhou logistics camp to kill the Tubo people, you kill me, I slaughter your village, I want to come to Tubo today to die in battle, starve to death, and hundreds of thousands who ran to your hands. Together, the slaves should be enough for one person and one village. "
"Do you think Master Yan clearly?" Wang Juan asked Yan Jiang with a slight smile when he heard Yan Jiang talking about himself.
Nodded, Yan Jiang's eyes became firm, "I want to understand, I will be a technician, and I will strengthen my Datang army first."
Hearing his answer, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to give Yan Jiang a little confidence, Zhang Xiaobao said: "Master Yan, in fact, the steam engine can not only be used on warships. If it is the mainstream of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, civilian transportation and manned operations are also possible. Try it on a warship.
If it is easy to use, we will immediately put it on a civilian boat, and then it will be more convenient to travel between north and south. Mr. Yan should have heard of Huayuan Express, which is actually under our control. With the fast boat, it will be more convenient Deliver goods and letters to those who need it. "
Perhaps he was numb with fright. Hearing that Datang's most powerful letterhead delivery organization was also in charge of the Zhang Wang family, Yan Jiang did not show any surprises anymore, with a smile on his face.
"I know, the letter my brother wrote to me is the way to go. At the beginning, my brother was afraid that his letter would be found by you, so he didn't dare to go to the official post. Unexpectedly, the other way to go is still under your means. , I must study the steam engine well."
Wang Juan had an idea, and added: "Master Yan, in fact, there is still one time we haven't said it. After all, that matter needs too much money to support, but I can promise that as long as you get the steam engine up, it won’t break frequently. , Can drive heavier things, then we will spend a lot of money to do it."
"Can you talk to me first." Yan Jiang was curious.
"That thing is called a train, why is it called this name, because it needs to ignite steam and drive on two tracks. The speed is very fast. It can go out at least 1,000 kilometers in an hour, oh no, it can go out seven or eight. Shili is very convenient for both manning and sourcing."
Wang Juan almost told her and Zhang Xiaobao the speed of the train at that time. An hour was two hours, and there was no problem with the more than 1,000 kilometers of road.
Yan Jiang, who had long believed that he would not be surprised, couldn’t help but widened his eyes again. "If you walk eighty miles an hour, wouldn’t it be faster than the eighty-mile express? Zhang Cishi, Wang Canjun, can you go there earlier, fine? Tell me in detail to the next official?"
If this kind of argument is replaced by someone else, Yan Jiang thinks he will sneer and deceive the ghost? An hour is seventy to eighty miles, and it is only forty to fifty days from Datang to the other side. How could it be possible
But Wang Juan said this. Thinking of the two's ability to pinch and count, it should be possible even if they think it is impossible.
For a while, Yan Jiang couldn't help but curiosity in his heart, and had to drag Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to find a place to talk in detail.
Zhang Xiaobao swept towards the side of the road and saw a large stall in front of him, light blue smoke from the grilled meat skewers, and bowls of rice wine being sent to various tables by the buddies from time to time. Many people ignored the cold of spring. He ate and drank there and said to Yan Jiang:
"For example, going to the front to taste the meat skewers is considered a check. If they dare to use bad meat, then I will ask Xiaobei and the others to come back."
Yan Jiang knew that Zhang Xiaobao was joking, and he knew from his brother during the day that the people of Jilizhou had regarded Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan as gods. No one would violate any regulations made by two people, let alone The meat was spoiled when roasting.
I remembered the situation when Xiaobei and others found him with the appearance of a small adult, and said with a smile: "Well, if Zhang Cishi really finds Xiaobei and the others, this person will think carefully about his own thoughts even if there is nothing wrong with him. When I came out, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to cover up."
"Children, you know the nonsense. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have met such a powerful person as Master Yan. Let's go, I'll treat you today."
Zhang Xiaobao was also very happy to hear people boast about his younger siblings.
"That's natural, who made Zhang Cishi rich." Yan Jiang walked over and sat down at a table that no one occupied. He ordered a pot of hot tea, which was warm, and he chose a few grilled skewers. The individual began to talk about the train.
…
Jilizhou is a peaceful place, and the seaside of Heishui Dudu’s Mansion, Li Xun had a good time. He also ate grilled food, or seafood.
Take two bites, sip some warm wine, and look up at the fire that hasn't been extinguished by the moonlight. It looks very pleasant.
"His Royal Highness, when does it need to be burned?" The army grilled a fish, sprinkled a few of the seasoning provided on the boat, sniffed beautifully, and asked Li Xun next to it.
"Don’t worry, didn’t the letter from Xiaobao and the cuckoo already mentioned it? It’s until the people in their Black Water Metropolitan Mansion ran to the beach. The past few days have passed. I believe they will also find it impossible to put out the fire. Wait until then. Let's surround them, and the people who need to pass on the ice arrange it?"
Li Xun looked as if he had made the plan.
Joining the army replied: "It has been arranged, and they have already set off. They really won't run further north, or are they running west?"
"If the place is farther north, we don’t need to worry about it. When the time comes, the fire will be extinguished. Heishui Metropolitan Government is ours. Don’t think that they can adapt to the environment further north as well. If they run west, it’s better. The imperial court can send another member to train troops."
Li Xun didn't worry that Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao would make a mistake. They froze to death in the north, and ran west, where did they go? Turkic? When the time comes without Datang sending troops, the Turks will kill people, catch them, and then send the living people to the capital, unless they want Datang's army to enter the grassland now.
Joining the army was still a little worried, but didn't say anything, and handed the grilled fish to Li Xun's front, "Your Majesty, taste this fish."
"Don't eat, I don't worry about your craftsmanship. It's not as good as me. I have learned how to say with Xiaobao for a while, huh? A boat is coming over there, take a look."
As Li Xun was talking, he suddenly noticed that there were lights appearing on the sea. The kind of light bulbs that were driven by water to generate electricity were not found anywhere else. At first glance, they knew that it was the ship of King Zhang's family.
He didn't look far, but waited a full half an hour before the boat approached. The people on the boat took the springboard, changed to the boat, hurried to Li Xun's approach, and took out a letter from his arms.
"The prince of the county, my little prince and little lady wrote a letter about the follow-up development of the burned place, saying that you should organize it first, and when the day gets warmer, they will come and join you."
"Look, there really is a plan?" Li Xun said to the army happily.
