Recently, Yunjiuxi discovered a salt mine, just behind the area occupied by the nobles. Because of the occupation by the nobles, no one would have thought that there were scarce salt mines there. Yunjiuxi planned to occupy the backside of Jinlin City, which is close to the coast. , mining sea salt.
She put Lin Wu in charge of the mining of salt mines, and set up equipment to extract refined salt near the salt mines.
"Didn't we accept a group of refugees a few days ago? Let them come over and take charge, and they will be responsible for a separate link!"
"Yes! Master!"
The new mining tools developed by Yun Jiuxi's craftsmen have begun to take shape. They are more efficient and easier to use than the old tools. It's just that I haven't used it in practice yet, so I don't know how it works.
After making arrangements for the refugees, she took them on a trip to the mountains to see the troops in training and hunt some animals for extra meals. Eating vegetarian food every day will leave you with too much to eat, not to mention the cooking skills here. It is already very good to be able to cook something that is not unpalatable.
The newcomer Gu Mingyuan seemed to have a blind worship of Yun Jiuxi, his eyes always exuded a strange light, and he looked at Yun Jiuxi like a fat meal.
Yun Jiuxi didn't notice that Gu Mingyuan's feelings hidden under this enthusiasm were a special and unique emotion. After Gu Mingyuan saw Yun Jiuxi, some memory fragments emerged in his mind one night, which made him want to get closer to Yun Jiuxi even more.
Yun Jiuxi didn't return home all night, so he stayed in the military camp for one night. She saw the stars in the sky among the unobstructed mountains and fields.
"No, something big is going to happen!" Suddenly, she frowned and sternly issued an order to everyone, asking them to enforce it, and any violators would be killed!
"Master, the arrangements are complete!"
"Well, keep your nerves tight, something big is coming!"
Just as others were approaching Jiangnan, an earthquake occurred in Jiangnan. The branches swayed wildly and the house began to shake.
King Liang was overjoyed, "God help me!"
But Jiangnan was not as panicked as he thought. Nothing seems to have happened in Jiangnan, everything is in order. All this was due to Yun Jiuxi's advance prediction. No one was hurt when the house collapsed, at most there was some damage.
Yun Jiuxi arranged the money in advance and everything went into public accounts. Restore production and life as quickly as possible. When King Liang approached, the guards on the city wall had been waiting for a long time. He was greeted by a rain of arrows.
Under such circumstances, Yun Jiuxi left Jiangnan. Departed for Jinlin City.
Five days later, Yun Jiuxi came back and brought back good news. She took down Jinlin's guards. Jinlin was originally managed by the prefect, but the recent earthquake and the arrival of various troops prevented the prefect from noticing in time.
Yun Jiuxi acted very quickly. Before the prefect received the news, she cut off the guard's beam. By the time the prefect came to his senses, the guards had been starving for seven days and were about to starve to death. How could they still fight? In order to be full, do the opposite from bottom to top.
After recruiting the Jinlin guards, Yun Jiuxi disrupted the situation, mixed the people with the people he brought out, dispersed them, and let his own people brainwash them. It didn't take long to think that they would be completely submissive.
As for the court's reaction to the earthquake, it was nothing. Since last year, the entire dynasty has suffered from natural and man-made disasters. This time, the city walls were almost completely collapsed, and even the capital city suffered some damage.
It can be said that in so many years, no dynasty has ever encountered such a big earthquake. In other words, Jiangnan, under the control of Yun Jiuxi, suffered the least damage. Emperor Xuan Lin could not have the extra energy to take care of it. During the winter, his body began to decline and he had been on the bed for a long time.
After the earthquake, there were victims everywhere and turmoil everywhere. It was a headache for the court to suppress the turmoil close to the capital and find ways to provide disaster relief.
Not to mention that with Emperor Xuan Lin's body, Wang Fucai would not let him know this kind of news, so how could he manage it.
Yun Jiuxi asked Gu Mingyuan to help Lin Wu manage the accounts. She led people to arrest many rioters, held a public trial under the city gate, and beheaded them in front of everyone. It shocked many people and made the whole Jiangnan peaceful.
The east city of Jiangnan is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is relatively fertile, but it is rich in minerals, enough to support the use of the entire dynasty, which solves a big problem in Yunjiuxi. After the ore was mined, weapons were refined using local materials, which made up for many shortages.
Before King Liang got close to the city wall, he was frightened by the dense rain of arrows. He led the few remaining men and horses and immediately returned to the station. After seeing the horror of Jiangnan, King Liang temporarily gave up here and planned to turn around and take over the territory of King Jiang around Jiangnan.
King Jiang never expected that his home would be robbed on his way to attack Jiangnan.
Because of the earthquake, rumors began to appear that Concubine Yun Gui was a monster. The story seems to be that Concubine Yun Gui was a spirit in the mountains. In order to ascend to immortality, she relied on her beauty to seduce Emperor Xuan Lin. After entering the palace, she gained only favor and harmed many concubines and loyal ministers.
She relied on Emperor Xuan Lin's dragon energy to practice and became more and more beautiful and charming. As Emperor Xuanlin's dragon energy became scarce, various disasters broke out in the dynasty. Now Emperor Xuan Lin has also fallen, humiliating and harming people every day, and surviving on his essence and blood. It was these two people who led to the end of the entire dynasty, and war broke out everywhere.
There are countless stories like this.
"Master, our goods have been robbed!"
"Where?"
"It's in Yuewang City!"
"Lots of losses!" Yun Jiuxi frowned. This was the first time this happened to her since she accepted Jiangnan.
"That's the refined salt we shipped to the capital!"
"Mr. Yun, this may be a good opportunity for us!" Gu Mingyuan stood next to Yun Jiuxi and said something.
"tell me the story!"
"Qitong City has a very good geographical location, and it is a place where you can advance, attack, retreat and defend. It is a must-pass for traveling from north to south. We have never had a chance. Isn't this just what happened to us?"
"This alone is not enough!"
"The merchants in Qitong City are hoarding goods and driving up prices. We can't stand it anymore. We are just trying to save the people from the fire and water!"
"You do have an idea!"
The corners of Yun Jiuxi's lips curled up, and the depression of losing the goods was swept away. Her goal is to completely capture the south within two years, so that she can have the strength to march into the capital. After all, those princes who are guarding the capital and watching eagerly are not for nothing.
They have been in a stalemate, just waiting for the complete death of Emperor Xuan Lin so that they can enter the capital in a serious manner. But no one else is allowed to get involved.
Therefore, Yun Jiuxi has been living in the south of the Yangtze River for so long without making any big moves. He is just worried that he will be uprooted by powerful forces before he has grown up.
As for King Liang and King Jiang in the south of the Yangtze River, there is nothing to fear. The two men do not have as many men and horses as Yun Jiuxi, and they occupy the most barren land in the south of the Yangtze River. They do not pose much threat to Yun Jiuxi.
