Yuxi's plan to recruit troops from other provinces went smoothly, and Zhuang Ding was sent through the checkpoints one after another and arrived at Ho City. In just over two months, 34,000 people were recruited. This, of course, is the number of people in the four provinces combined.

Yunqing went to the barracks and came back that day, and said to Yuxi: "Most of these people sent here are yellow-faced and skinny. I had the doctor examine them, and the doctor said that they were not sick, but hungry. As long as they are fed and drunk, they will soon be able to raise them back. "There are also conditions for their people to give benefits to those officials, that is, the people who send them out must be in good health and not sick. So the people who were sent this time are in good health.

Yuxi said: "How many of the people can eat enough now?" The harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than the tiger, not to mention that several surrounding provinces have been suppressing bandits and quelling the rebellion, and the lives of the common people are miserable. Being able to survive is already a big fate, and nothing else can be asked for.

Yun Qing hummed and said, "This time, I recruited 34,000 strong men, plus the 2,800 bandits who came to join the army, and we are still a cut short of 50,000 people." ”

Yuxi said: "Not less than 10,000 people. He Rui, I don't think it's time to recruit troops in the Northwest. The common people had just gone to conscription after two days of peace, and they should have panicked. "For ordinary people, joining the army is equivalent to sending them to death. No one wants to send their son or husband to death. And they are not in a situation where they have no choice, so Yuxi feels that there is really no need to recruit troops in the northwest.

Yunqing felt that what Yuxi said made sense: "It's good to collect some more people from the surrounding area." After a year and a half of training, when the time comes to the battlefield, these people must all be brave and invincible. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Our action is too big, and we have already alarmed those people." Even if you pay double the price, you won't be able to buy people. "The people who bought it were the officials below, and the people above didn't know it at first. It's just that they are facing four provinces, and the action is too big, and these people have already noticed it.

Yunqing said: "How much did it cost to recruit more than 30,000 people?" Yuxi is good at financial management, so the finances are managed by Yuxi. However, Yuxi will tell Yunqing about the items of income and expenses every month.

Yuxi said: "Including the money, a total of 970,000 yuan was spent. Yuxi felt that the money was well spent. It's also that they have loose money now, otherwise they wouldn't be able to act on this idea. This is also why Yan Wushuang envies Yuxi and his wife, who have money in hand and can do anything.

Yunqing said: "It's a bit much. "If you recruit directly in the northwest, you can save this money. However, Yunqing also knew that Yuxi was doing this for the long-term development of the northwest.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "On average, each person is less than thirty taels of silver, which is not expensive." "Thirty taels of silver to buy a strong labor force is not a loss.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "These people have suffered, they can be well fed and clothed when they arrive at the barracks, they should be very obedient." "In the army, not to mention anything else, it is guaranteed to be well fed and clothed. These can be sold, and they will definitely have a hard time at home, and they will naturally cherish such a good life when they arrive at the barracks. Of course, Yuxi is talking about most people.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "It's really obedient." On this hot day, they trained for four and a half hours a day, and none of them made a sound, all of them practiced honestly, and none of them picked on them. "Even the more than 2,000 bandits who came to join the army were all honestly trained and didn't stir up trouble. It is also because of these people's expressions that Yunqing feels that although the price is a bit big, it is still worth it.

The couple talked again and were getting ready for bed. Suddenly, I heard a loud knock on the door outside. Soon, Licorice came over and said, "Lord Wang, Princess, Lord Xu said that there are 800 miles of urgent delivery." "Generally, when there is a war, an urgent mail of 800 miles will be delivered.

Both husband and wife have the same idea, and someone must have attacked the city in the eight-hundred-mile urgency. Yuxi hurriedly got up and got dressed, but the woman's movements were too slow, Yuxi had just put on a dress, and Yunqing had already taken the Qiushui Sword placed on the table and walked out.

As soon as Yuxi's clothes were put on, he saw Yunqing fold back again. Seeing that Yunqing's face was very ugly, Yuxi asked, "Is it someone from the imperial court who called?" It is definitely impossible to carry out the northern captives at this time, and the rest is the army of the imperial court.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No, it's Wucheng that has moved." "When a person who is obsessed with trust hears the earth moving, he thinks that this is a punishment from heaven. In the past, when there was a ground movement, the emperor would sacrifice to the heavens and confess his sins to God.

Yuxi was startled, it turned out to be the ground. However, this news is better than the imperial army attacking the city. When Yuxi heard that more than twenty people had died, he frowned and said, "It seems that this place is moving very strictly." ”

Yun Qing nodded and said, "I have already asked Xu Wu to invite Lord Tan and Uncle Tan to come over." Although Yunqing likes to do it himself, he also knows that this matter is not something he can solve, and everyone must solve it together.

Yuxi snorted and said, "Now what we have to do is to rescue the disaster." If it was too late, the lives of those who survived would be in danger. "There's a lot more to do besides saving those sexual beings. Otherwise, one omission will lead to great disaster.

Tan Tuo, Han Jianming and others got the news and came over immediately. Hearing that the ground was moving very strictly, Tan Tuo said: "Lord, princess, you must do your best to relieve the disaster." Not only that, but we also have to deal with the disaster site. Otherwise, it is easy to cause a plague. "It's the hottest season, and if the carcasses of those animals are not properly disposed of, they can easily cause the plague.

The group discussed until dawn, and finally Yuxi ordered Han Jianming and asked him to go to Wucheng for disaster relief. Originally, Tan Tuo took the initiative to ask for help, but Tan Tuo was old, and he needed to take care of the affairs in Ho City, so Yuxi didn't agree. As for An Zike, he happened to be not feeling well in the past two days. So only Han Jianming is suitable.

Although Han Jianming is Yuxi's eldest brother, he has taken over hard errands in the past two years. However, Han Jianming never complained, because he knew that all the Yuxi he did had in his heart. Although it is a little hard and tiring, Han Jianming thinks it is worth it. However, Ye obviously doesn't think so.

When Ye heard Han Jianming say that he was going to Wucheng for disaster relief, he cried: "That place is too dangerous, you can't go, master." "No one can say for sure what is going on here, in case the old man has an accident on the side of Wucheng, who will their orphans and widows rely on when the time comes.

Han Jianming said with a cold face: "What are you crying about, I just went to the disaster relief, what danger can there be." Take good care of my mother and children at home, and I will be back in a month at most. "Ye knew that he was going to do something dangerous, and although he was worried and sad, he never stopped him. I don't know how I changed my attitude this time.

The Ye family couldn't be Han Jianming's master, and at this time, the Qiu family happened to be doing morning class, and she didn't even have anyone to ask for help. Ye could only endure the anxiety and worry in his heart and sent Han Jianming out of the house.

After sending Han Jianming away, Ye did not go back to his own courtyard, but went to the upper courtyard. couldn't wait for Qiu's family, so Ye's family told Li's mother about it. After finishing speaking, tears fell: "Why is the princess so ruthless, she does all kinds of dangerous errands for the master, where to care about a little brother and sister love." ”

Seeing this, Mother Li persuaded her: "Don't worry, madam, the master will definitely be fine." After a while, the master came back safely. "If Li's mother says that Ye's is caring, it will be chaotic. If her life is really in danger, how can the princess send her lord to die.

Ye wiped his tears and said, "How long will it take for my mother?" Hearing that there was still a quarter of an hour, Ye sat down and waited.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiu walked out of the temple wearing a tie robe. looked at Ye's red and swollen eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" It is definitely not a trivial matter that can make Ye cry.

Hearing that his son was going to Wucheng to rescue people, Qiu's Amitabha Buddha said: "Ming'er is going to do good deeds, you should be happy, what are you crying about?" Qiu's current thinking is very different.

Ye was choked and coughed.

Qiu Shi waved his hand and said, "If you are not feeling well, you can rest in the yard and don't run around." Also, the body is important, and the affairs in the mansion can also be handed over to the housekeeper. "If she hadn't been able to help, she would have wanted to go to Wucheng with Han Jianming.

Ye got up, bowed to Qiu's blessing and said, "Mother, then I'll go back first." "Fortunately, she knows the Qiu family's temperament, otherwise she would definitely think that she wants to seize power.

Regarding the Wucheng movement, Yuxi did not block the news. So the next day, the whole of Pickaxe City found out about it. Someone is spreading rumors behind his back, saying that Yuxi Peony Chicken Si Chen, so Wucheng will have a ground movement, which is a warning from heaven to Yunqing.

When Yuxi heard this rumor, he was no longer indifferent to what he had been before. immediately ordered all those who spread rumors to be arrested and severely punished, and as for those behind the scenes, they were caught and directly beheaded.

Two days later, the excerpt from Wucheng was delivered. Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief after reading the excerpt, and said to Tan Tuo: "This time the ground movement is not in Wucheng, it is in a small town sixty miles away from Wucheng. Moreover, the time of the ground movement occurred in the afternoon, so the casualties were not severe. "If it were at night, the number of people who would have died would have doubled.

Tan Tuo also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the Earth Movement Center was not in Wucheng: "God bless." "If the center of the earth movement is in Wucheng, the casualties will definitely be heavy. And in small towns, where the population of the town is small, there will be a lot fewer casualties.

Yuxi put down the fold and said, "Fu Minglang is doing a good job this time. As soon as Fu Minglang got the news, he gathered people and rushed to the town, never thinking that his life would be in danger when he went to the town. It was also because Fu Minglang arrived in time that the victims were properly settled, and those unclean things were quickly dealt with.

Tan Tuo said: "Master Fu is a talent. "It's a pity that the princess is not at ease with Fu Minglang, otherwise she will have another pillar of talent when she is transferred to Ho City, and they can be more relaxed.

Yuxi was very satisfied with Fu Minglang and said, "It is indeed a talent. "As for whether to transfer to Ho City, Yuxi hasn't thought about it yet.
