Fang Jinglong's face was miserable.

What a good day.

He guarded one side by himself, his son became a lieutenant of the horses, and the family had countless amounts of money.

The Fang family's family background is like a spring.

Fang Jinglong felt that he should also enjoy a few years of happiness, and when his daughter and grandson grew up, he would have to give birth to grandchildren and great-grandchildren, what a happy day.

But who would have expected ......

Build a new palace.

He is understandable, patting the emperor's ass, Xiao Fang's consciousness at this point is quite high, but when he saw the scale of the new palace and the money and food required, Fang Jinglong was frightened.

"Iniquity!" Fang Jinglong looked up to the sky and roared.

All the good things have been shattered, my son is not calm at all, his brain disease has relapsed, and he has to stop him.

Fang Jinglong was in a hurry, and he was about to rush out of the hall, while saying: "Prepare the horse, prepare the horse!" ”

Liu Shi was busy stopping him: "The old man guards Guizhou and Jiaozhi, and he has not been ordered by the emperor, how can he leave his post without permission, what happened." ”

Fang Jinglong held the letter and danced wildly in the void: "What else can I do, my home is going to be gone." ”

Liu immediately went to the letter, and when he stared at it, his face was also frightened.

"Master calm down first, will this be the strategy of the successor."

"He still dares to bully the king? The site has been chosen, the scale has been decided, and even the drawings of the building have been played, but he can't build it, that is, he deceives the king, and if it is built, the Fang family will become poor. ”

"Oh my God." Fang Jinglong burst into tears and beat his heart: "Even if the Fang family has mountains of gold and silver, it is not enough for this kid to be defeated like this, no, I want to go to school, I want to go back to Beijing, if I don't return to Beijing, it will be too late." ”

"It's too late." Liu Shi looked extremely calm: "Since the wood has been completed, even if Your Majesty doesn't want to follow the vassal and allow him to regret it, how can the people of the world look at the Fang family?" This was originally a beautiful talk of loyalty and filial piety, but in a blink of an eye, it became a joke. What's more, at this time, the lord in the name of loyalty, and the respect of the government and the opposition inside and outside, if at this time, anxious to return to Beijing, who will not know, the lord is distressed silver, is reluctant. I'm afraid that I will also be ridiculed, the Fang family has reached this point, money is something outside the body, and what is really valuable is fame. It is the loyalty of dying with the Ming Dynasty, being rich and noble, and resting with the country! It is a reputation for planning for the country and making contributions to the country that has been inherited for several generations. Without these, the Fang family is a rootless tree, boundless water, and money, but it has become a bane. ”

Fang Jinglong still couldn't accept it: "But...... You have to keep a little bit, our family, we are going to eat bran vegetables. ”

"It's better to eat bran than to be ridiculed by the world." Liu grabbed Fang Jinglong: "Master, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood." Now, having reached this point, stopping it, instead of helping, will make others look down on it. ”

The implication is that the P he made an appointment with him would be finished with tears.

Fang Jinglong's old tears were majestic, and he said it lightly.

"But what will others think of Ji Fan, people will say that he is a fool!"

Liu frowned: "It's better to be a loyal fool than to be a villain." ”

"......" Fang Jinglong was speechless, so he had to cover his heart: "My heart hurts." ”

Liu said: "Master, the concubine will rub your heart." ”

Fang Jinglong sighed, as if reason told him that it could only be like this: "No, I'll repair a letter to Steward Yang first." ”

…………

Hexi.

A large number of displaced people have already poured into the area, and after careful exploration of the mining area, Jiang Chen identified a large number of minerals that are easy to mine, and then organized manpower to excavate.

A few days ago, because of the presence of a group of Tatars, the Hexi mining area was tense for a while, but then, everything returned to calm.

With mines, there will be people, and with people, there will be a lot of food.

The price of grain in Hexi has skyrocketed, and it is several times that of Guannai.

So, on the one hand, some people began to collect grain from Guanzhong and come here to peddle and resell.

On the other hand, many people who are unwilling to engage in high-level physical mineral excavation have also begun to reclaim in the Lanzhou area.

After all, it is so profitable to grow food. The same pound of grain, planted in Guanzhong, is three copper coins, but when you get here, you can sell at least twelve copper coins.

This is almost turning planting into profiteering.

Some people who saw the business opportunities actually began to move here, how many big clans in Guanzhong, these big clans, the children of the clan are overcrowded, although there is also land, but most of them are just owned by the head of the family, there are many children, the life is bitter, haha, the clan has long been full of complaints.

So simply, hundreds of families of a clan, directly moved here, everyone is the same clan, each other has a response, if you meet a single Tatar, you can also form a village to protect yourself, encountered a Tatar invasion, then have to consider themselves unlucky, back to Lanzhou City.

But once there is no major war, cultivating here, it is almost the same as making a fortune, not only the price of grain is high, but there are many borderless lands, and if you reclaim it, it will be considered your own, and you only need to exert all your strength.

Therefore, there are many large families who have moved here to farm, and those who come later have to continue to go deep into Hexi to find more fertile land for reclamation.

This place west of the river, all the way through the Yellow River, has a variety of climates, some places, although it is a desert, but some places, there are a large number of water and grass, and there are more places, its soil and climate, no less than the south of the Yangtze River.

With many people cultivating the land, it was necessary to exchange materials, and small market towns formed spontaneously, naturally appeared, where people bought agricultural tools, bought and sold grain, cattle and sheep, and in the market towns, because of the need to supply the needs of the miners, wine workshops began to appear, and some simple entertainment facilities appeared.

People with various accents began to communicate with each other at this time, making this place increasingly prosperous.

Jiang Chen sat in the Broken Guard.

It has now formed the most prosperous town outside Lanzhou.

Around here, only a simple rammed earth was used to build the city wall, but because of this place, it has become the only way for all people to enter and exit Hexi, and most of the people who moved here with their families also passed here.

Many miners rarely have two days off in a month, and they are willing to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads.

Jiang Chen was not at ease at all.

The prosperity in front of you is just the moon in the water.

Once the Tatars attacked, there was almost no danger to defend in this place west of the river, especially with so many fields reclaimed, which was almost equivalent to looking for death.

At that time, the Tatars will only need to arrive to turn all the land here into their horse farms again.

"It's not good, it's not good." Deng Jian hurried over.

Deng Jian is darker, thinner, and uglier.

People can only blame their parents for being ugly, after all, they have nothing to do with society, so his psychology is still healthy.

As Fang Jifan's confidant, his main responsibility is to manage the profits in the mine.

Jiang Chen suddenly rose: "What's wrong?" ”

"Tatars, Tatars, many, many Tatars. The people were frightened and took refuge in the stockade, but fortunately, now everyone has only cultivated and irrigated the land, and they are waiting for the next year to sow seeds, otherwise they will ......."

Jiang Chen's face was blue: "Come with me." ”

He dressed up and rode his horse for dozens of miles to visit.

In the distance, he saw a vast procession.

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

In a few moments, there was a Lanzhou Wei scout from the king of Lanzhou City.

Obviously, His Royal Highness King Su also felt that something was unusual, so he sent someone to investigate.

This...... There are tens of thousands of people, and the team behind them is huge...... God knows...... And how many.

This is definitely the most large-scale military operation in Hexi for decades, these Tatars ...... Lose your marbles?

Jiang Chen took out the binoculars, but suddenly felt strange again.

These Tatars did not even ride horses, but they all walked.

Occasionally, there are a few skinny horses in the team, which are particularly outstanding.

Without horses, on the steppe, the carts would be muddy and difficult to navigate, and therefore, there would be no carts peculiar to the Tatars in the ranks.

They just brought all kinds of their belongings, all of them were ragged and dressed, and some of them even staggered with their feet shaking.

"Not like Tatar cavalry!" Jiang Chen frowned and communicated with the scouts in Lanzhou City.

The scouts had apparently seen the Tatar Iron Riders before, and they couldn't help nodding.

After some time, the man riding a thin horse in the procession came first, and he actually came alone after Chao Jiangchen and the others, and then dismounted, his face was extremely tired, his hair was unkempt, his head was covered with grass clippings, his eyes were bloodshot, he made a salute, and then said in a stiff Chinese: "I am the Ebony Tulu Division...... His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming is only alive, come to attach, save people, three children have starved to death, and the other children are all dying, His Royal Highness the Prince, promise to give us a little food to eat for the people of Emu Tulu, we ...... We ......" he blushed for a long time before he said, "So, here we are!" ”

Jiang Chen was stunned.

To tell the truth, since worshipping under the teacher, he has seen all the winds and waves.

Even if someone told him that his wife, who was thousands of miles away, had done something indescribable with him in a dream and was pregnant, he would absolutely believe it.

What else in the world is unacceptable?

But now......

Jiang Chen was a little confused.

These people ...... Really Tatars?

Shouldn't the Tatars be fierce and ferocious, unwilling to admit defeat, unruly?

But looking at this poor man, with a pleading look on his face, this person, where he looks like a Tatar, he is no different from ordinary people.

Jiang Chen frowned and looked at the Tatar: "How many of you are there?" ”

"More than 4,000 people, on the way, there are people from other departments gradually joining, and the number of people is afraid that there are more than 10,000."
