Liu Cheng returned, and also brought envoys from the king of Huainan and the king of Liang. The two princes agreed to exchange gold for grain, and when they heard about Liu Cheng's advice, they immediately sent their own envoys.

The autumn harvest had just ended, and it was time for the barn to be full. How can you not do such a good thing as exchanging gold for food. The price of grain was agreed with Yun Xiao, and the cart of grain was sent to Jiangdu City along the official road.

Mountains of rice and noodles were piled up in the camp of Xiangyong, and the families of Xiangyong from near and far gathered in Jiangdu to support the old and the young. Yun Xiao stood on the high platform and began to distribute rice and grain according to the registered people.

"Get in line, line up. Whoever reads the name, come to the front. One by one, everyone has a share, and everyone has so much rice. ”

Yun Xiao took a paper tube and rolled it into a trumpet shape, standing on a high platform and roaring hoarsely. Each family member who came to receive the rice was carrying a small notebook with a red cover, on which was written his name and place of origin.

Zhang 13 stood on the platform and read his name aloud. The person who read the name walked to the side of the rice pile with his pocket, and the villagers filled the bag with a bucket. Each of the family members of the village warrior will be given 200 catties of rice, Yun Xiao calculated. A family of five, with these rice and their own harvest, will not go hungry.

According to statistics, the number of family members of the villagers was actually exaggerated. In fact, the actual number is only two-thirds of the original, only more than 17,000 people. This greatly reduced Yunxiao's financial burden, and the rice and grain were distributed non-stop, and Yunxiao also provided a meal at the time of the meal. The rice and pickles are hard to make, and some half-sized ones are lying on the ground and humming.

Yun Xiao looked sad, and their family followed him out. But when they came back, their families stayed in Yueyang. But he couldn't let their dolls eat a bite of meat. I saw an old woman picking grains of rice from the ground. Yun Xiao scooped a spoonful of rice and put it into her mother-in-law's rice bag.

"Master Hou" The old woman thought that someone was going to rob her of her grain, and instinctively dragged the grain bag. I saw that Yun Xiao was holding a spoonful of rice. I suddenly understood.

Yun Xiao hurriedly helped up the old woman who wanted to kneel.

"This is my cub, follow Master Hou in the future."

The old woman pulled over a tanned offspring. It looks like he is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is very strong. At first glance, it is a good crop handle.

"Old woman, the child has not grown up yet, and we are not eighteen years old here."

"Erdan is sixteen this year, so you can accept it when you are two years old."

This time it was terrible, and everyone nearby took their school-age children to Yun Xiao. The people of the Han Dynasty were simple, and they used to die when they fought with King Wu. It's amazing to send a few pieces of money, where is it like this Hou Ye to send food and money.

The villagers still have rice and grain to take every month, and they can send the descendants of the family to Hou Ye's team with confidence. Although Hou Ye's temper has deteriorated, he always kills people. But he killed those who bullied the villagers. Those officials and soldiers who were killed by heaven were ordered by the imperial court to rob all the food at home, shouldn't they be killed? are all officials of the imperial court, why is this marquis different from those princes or something?

When Master Geng and his apprentices came to Jiangdu City, Yun Xiao was surrounded by thousands of people in the school grounds, asking his own descendants to join him.

After a long day's effort, he promised to hold a recruit recruitment meeting the day after tomorrow, and Yun Xiao was able to get out of the crowd.

"It's been a long time for Geng Lao, there are many things. The villagers were also enthusiastic. ”

"You treat the people with sincerity. The people treat you with sincerity. The Marquis of Lintong can win the hearts of the people in this way, and the pacification of Jiangnan is just around the corner. Lao Yute led one hundred and eight disciples to serve in the Hou Ye's army. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the large group of people behind the old guy, old and young. I have to admire the speed of this group of people pulling the team, and they can pull up such a large number of people in just a few days. It looks like his fleet is just around the corner.

Master Geng praised it. Please take a break. After lunch, let's talk about it in detail. ”

Master Geng's meal was quite good, and he ate seven or eight fist-sized buns. I drank a big bowl of egg and melon slice soup again, and it was smooth. Only then did he put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"The old man roughly calculated the materials, according to the size provided by the Hou Ye. Captain Turtle is six feet six. It is four feet wide and three feet. The timber used, combined with the kind of dry dock you mentioned, is a lot of money. I don't know if Master Hou is prepared. ”

Yun Xiao choked on the question. Anything came to mind. But the matter of wood has been ignored, and there is no wood to make a fart boat.

"Can Yunxiao provide money and food, and the old gentleman will purchase it on his behalf?"

Yun Xiao had no choice but to sacrifice the last magic weapon and smash it with money.

"Hahaha, Master Hou looks up to the old man too much. Hou Ye can know that all wood must have wood. If you make ordinary small utensils, if you make things like palaces and ships, the wood must be compacted and dried for at least one to two years in advance. Moreover, it has not been eroded by wind and rain ants and insects in these two years, so such wood can be used to build ships to ensure safety.

Master Hou asked the old man to purchase, where is the old man going to purchase this large amount of wood. ”

"Uh...... This"

Yun Xiao, a pseudo-professional, was immediately dumbfounded when he met a real expert. With such a large amount of wood, Yun Xiao didn't know where to get it.

Seeing Yun Xiao's sad look, Master Geng said slowly: "The old man knows that there is a lot of wood hoarded in one place, but I don't know if Master Hou dares to take it." ”

"Where?"

At this time, there was wood from Lord Yama, and Yun Xiao dared to grab it.

"The year before last, King Wu wanted to renovate the palace. After collecting a batch of wood, the new king of Jiangdu planned to rebuild a new palace after his arrival. He took out this batch of wood from the cellar of King Wu, and purchased a lot of the insufficient part from the King of Huainan. Now these timbers are on the construction site of the palace of the Gangdu royal family. If the Marquis of Lintong dared to go to the construction site to get it, the old man would definitely be able to build a sturdy and durable warship. ”

Yun Xiao's heart relaxed, Liu Fei didn't know if he could come out of Xiang Sanqiu's hand and screen himself. Take him a few pieces of wood, also to save him from shipbuilding. Can he still say no?

"What's so difficult about this, wait for Yun Xiao to go and fetch the wood. The old gentleman just waited for the construction to begin. ”

Yun Xiao arranged for Master Geng and his party to stay, and then rode to the new palace of King Jiangdu.

Liu Fei was captured. The message is closed though. However, there was no news from the vassal king for several months, and it was impossible for the news not to spread at all. The manager of the construction site is Chu Ying. But this guy hasn't been seen in a long time. The affairs of the construction site were delayed, and when Yunxiao entered the construction site. There are only a few migrant workers basking in the sun against the wall. Seeing Yun Xiao and his party coming in, they all turned their eyes over, but no one came up to interrogate, it seems that this construction site is really unattended.

Yun Xiao dismounted and walked over to the mountain of lumber. I saw that the wood had been tanned and blackened, and the fractures were full of cracked wood grains. When you put your hand on the wood, it feels very dry. Sure enough, it is good wood, and it should be no problem to build seven or eight turtle ships with these woods.

"Zhang 13, take your people to transport all this wood to the riverside. You can listen to Master Geng's arrangement where to put it. If anyone stops you, say that it is a military order, and those who disobey will be beheaded. ”

"No"

Zhang 13 is no longer the Zhang 13 who was afraid of hitting his head when the leaves fell, he burned the government and killed twenty or thirty people, but he whipped ten whips. It can be seen that this Hou Ye is an extremely protective person, and he feels comfortable with such a Hou Ye. The villagers also straightened their waists in front of the officers and soldiers, and raised their heads high every time they met the patrol posts, and they were no longer afraid of those high-minded officers and soldiers.

On the contrary, those officers and soldiers are now a little cowering when they see Xiang Yong, and they are no longer arrogant in the past. There is no longer even verbal provocation, and they all turn into good babies.

Zhang Shisanyi beckoned. Then his men came to the ox cart. Forty or fifty villagers rolled up their arms and sleeves and came over to carry wood. The migrant workers on the construction site were dumbfounded, seeing that these soldiers were moving wood, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.

"Don't go and tell the steward yet," a migrant worker quickly ran towards a work shed.

Loaded with ten ox carts, Yun Xiao was about to leave. Suddenly, I saw a person running out of the shed not far away.

This guy is very distinctive. Fat waist circumference to catch up with height. It looked like a ball was rolling over.

"Let's do it slowly, where do you soldiers dare to be so unreasonable. Don't you know that this is the palace of the king of Jiangdu? ”

The fat man shouted as he ran. The fat on his body and face swelled up and down. It rolls around like a wave.

Yun Xiao reined in the horse and watched the ball of meat roll over.

"Who are you...... Where...... of soldiers are like this...... So bold. ”

When the fat man rolled in front of the cloud. I can't breathe anymore. Looking at his flushed face, Yun Xiao was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to suffocate here in one breath.

"Bold. This is the Marquis of Lintong, the general of Zhengnan. It's not polite yet. ”

Dai Yu scolded the fat man loudly.

The fat man's heart was shocked, how did this living Hades run to his own land. I heard that a few days ago, the government was washed in blood, and when it came, a fire was set on fire to destroy the corpse. It seems that he has the idea of his own wood, how can this be born? There is no wood, and when the prince comes back, Chu Ying still doesn't pick up his own skin.

"Hou Ye Rongyu, these woods are all used by the king of Jiangdu to build the palace. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Master Hou to take it. "My brand is too small, let's see if the boss's brand can suppress this Hou Ye.

"These timbers have been requisitioned, and the Jiangnan rebellion has not yet been pacified. These timbers are needed to make ships, and you have some obstructions, don't blame Benhou for military law. ”

"Master Hou, the little one is just a little one in charge. He can't be such a big master, but the general's military affairs are small and he will never dare to delay. The small one only asks the Hou Ye to set up a note for the small one, and in the future, my prince will ask the small one to have an explanation, and you have a lot of adults, don't embarrass us small. ”

Yun Xiao couldn't help but re-examine this fat man, it seemed that this guy just looked like a pig, and his brain was shrewd like a monkey.

Since Hanxiong was put on the shelves, there have been four shifts per day and three thousand changes per day. To be honest, the Dragon King is indeed a little tired. But after yesterday's request for votes, I am not tired, because the dragon king feels recognized and respected. If you like Hanxiong, please vote for the Dragon King. In order to thank the friends who rewarded and voted for the monthly ticket, the Dragon King decided to extend the current update speed until the end of September. If there are more than 30 monthly passes, there will still be 10,000 monthly updates for the next month. (To be continued......)
