"How can this be true? How can it be true? Tian Feng, a common man, has gone too far to bully me!"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, there is still room for recovery."
"To calm you down, Tian Yuanhao has nothing to worry about. This matter is more important to the Wei family in Hedong."
"Stop talking about it. Han Fu's eyes were sinister and he glared at several close advisers. If it hadn't been for them, he would not have sent Tian Feng to Hedong to borrow troops, and he would not be in the current predicament. There are five thousand Wei clan in Hedong. The expeditionary army killed the rebels from all over Jizhou, and the nobles from Zhaojun and Julu all over the place worshiped him. Han Fu's situation was already very embarrassing, but now another dragon came across the river, and the power in his hands could be said to have dropped again and again. .
"The Zhao family, the Lu family, the Qi family, the Zhang family... are all now attached to the expeditionary army. The original expeditionary army of 5,000 people has now expanded to more than 30,000 people. If it continues to develop like this, the land of Jizhou will I'm afraid the owner will change." Han Fu felt uneasy. He trusted others so much that he led the wolf into the house. Now it was too late to say anything.
"The messenger hurried into the tent. Han Fu's face was gloomy. There really was no good news in the past two days. The soldier held up a silk book with both hands, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and said loudly:
"Qinghe County urgently reported that the Wei expeditionary army captured thousands of former Yellow Turban bandits and handed them over to the custody of the county government. They did not want the thieves to mutiny late at night, so they cooperated with the expeditionary army inside and outside, quickly occupied the outer city, and surrounded the county government without attacking.
"What?" Han Fu's eyelids twitched and he snatched the silk book. After reading it, he threw the silk book into the brazier beside him angrily.
"It's too much to bully others, it's simply too much to bully others!" Several counselors nearby looked at each other. Seeing this, Qinghe County is afraid that it will be lost. And this is indeed the case. There are nine counties in Jizhou, Anping, Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Qinghe, Zhaojun, Julu, Bohai, and Wei, three counties have now been occupied by the Wei expeditionary force. They are Zhaojun, Julu, and the newly captured Qinghe County. Qinghe County, the county seat. Xu Huangduan is sitting on the saddle. On the top, with his hands folded in front of his chest, a Pangu ax shone brightly in the sun behind his back. In front of him, more than a dozen patriarchs and elders of local wealthy families came to greet him.
"The Wang family of Qinghe donated five thousand stones of grain, a hundred horses, horses, and some iron tools."
"The Zhou family in Qinghe donated three thousand stones of grain and one hundred pieces of hemp and silk each."
"The Wu clan of Qinghe donated three thousand stones of grain and five hundred horses."
"At the gate of Ximen's City in Qinghe, middle-aged scribes sang loudly. The nobles who were read their names all raised their heads and held their chests high, looking proud. Tian Feng's face behind Xu Huang did not change. Compared with a few days ago, this He looked thinner and a little more resolute.
"Brother Yuan Hao, it's me, Wang Min.'
"That is Tian Maocai, he is worthy of the name of a famous scholar in Jizhou."
"I heard that this son served in the Taiwei Mansion in his early years and was never reused. So, Brother Zhou and him are still colleagues."
"Ah, haha, yes, yes." A middle-aged man from the Zhou family shrank his neck in embarrassment. Back then, he had been running against Tian Feng a lot. Now that Tian Feng has become so successful, he is afraid of being recognized, and he also secretly hopes that Tian Feng will be able to do it. Ignoring any past grudges, I took him with me to fly together. After several giants of the expeditionary force entered the city, the people lined up at the city gate in an orderly manner. One of Tian Feng's deputies was skillfully holding a loudspeaker made of copper pipes and shouted:
"We're recruiting, we're recruiting, the Wei family is recruiting. The people were moved after hearing the news. This is the moment they've been waiting for. As for the names of Xu Huang and Tian Feng, just listen to them, but they can't be eaten.
"The blacksmith comes first. There is no limit to the number of apprentices. The monthly salary is ten bushels of food. There are those who are proficient in iron forging and pig iron smelting. After passing the examination, the salary will be raised to fifteen to twenty bushels. Those who are capable will work more, and the more they work, the more they will get. , Weishi provides free housing, and you can move your family with you.
"Five hundred carpenters, no apprenticeship required, monthly salary ranging from fifteen to twenty bushels."
"mason
"Elders who are proficient in a skill can also pass the assessment and receive a residence permit in Anyi. If you are interested, please go to the guard office for detailed consultation. Guard office in the city. Xu Huang is sitting at the top, next to him is Tian Feng, who is dressed in Confucian clothes, and his face The solemn Yang Feng came down. A group of family members crowded together. The old man at the head bowed respectfully and asked:
"General Xu, what is the significance of this transaction?" Xu Huang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. His tired eyes were filled with blood. Hearing the old man's voice, he gestured to Tian Feng beside him, and then continued to drink alone. .
The old man understood and looked at Tian Feng. Tian Feng was prepared and took out a list calmly.
"Similar to Zhao County and Julu, the income can be divided according to each donation. This time Qinghe County captured the rebels and divided them equally. Twenty-four thousand hectares of land were obtained by the Wang, Zhang, and Zhou clans, and the three iron mines were The throne belongs to the Lu family, and the copper mine is handed over to the Qi family for mining. All the nobles here are mixed with joy, but in general, the effort is proportional to the reward. No one stands up to oppose it. Even if they are unhappy, they have to hold it in their hearts. There are also some people. I regretted that I was too stingy when I promised to donate money, otherwise I could get more today. After everything settled, some people got up and left, while others stayed where they were. Waiting for all the irrelevant people to go away, they kept drinking alone. Xu Huang, who was drunk, spoke:
"Duke Zhou, please take a seat." The remaining Zhou family members did not dare to express their gratitude, so they bowed their hands and sat down opposite Xu Huang.
Xu Huang took out a drawing from the wooden box next to the low table.
"This is a straw shed designed by Young Master. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It can grow fruits and vegetables in the severe winter. There are also some vegetable seeds. Please take a look at a few things you need to pay attention to when planting these vegetables. Zhou The whole group looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
"You can grow fruits and vegetables in the harsh winter."
"Not bad." It was Tian Feng who answered. He glanced at his former colleague hiding behind him and said without changing his expression:
"This is a test. If you, the Zhou family, can't grow it, we have no choice but to find someone else to cooperate with." The patriarch of the Zhou family frowned slightly and tentatively said:
"I wonder if the papermaking technology obtained by Julu Zhang can be used." Tian Feng's face darkened, and he sneered and warned:
"Julu Zhang has hundreds of disciples, and he has made great contributions in preaching and cultivating the profession. The papermaking technology was given to him to help him promote academics. If it is used for other purposes, haha... Patriarch Zhou is determined to want this papermaking technology."
"Uh, this... no need, no need, the art of growing vegetables in that straw shed is quite good." Tian Feng snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"That's it. Winter is about to come, and then Clan Chief Zhou will realize how wise your decision today is." At this time, Xu Huang rarely spoke, and said in a sonorous tone:
"Seventy percent of the fruits and vegetables from the straw shed must be sold to the Wei family at a fair price. You can sell the remaining 30% by yourself. If you have no objection, just withdraw first."
"Seventy, seventy percent!" Zhou's group immediately exploded. Xu Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to pick up the Pangu ax behind his back.
Seeing this, the Zhou clan leader hurriedly stood up and said:
"Just, according to General Xu's words, 70%, I will personally send someone to Anyi by then.
