Dong Ce hesitated for a moment and said, "The last general has the courage to name the land of reclamation as Rock Fort." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You can live fifty households, this is good governance! What does it mean to name a mere fort? Besides, you've got a good name! Rock solid and indestructible! Liu Ruozai waved his hand indifferently, he was the same name after all, and he was very happy to hear that Dong Ce had settled fifty homeless people.

Ji Changfeng also nodded in approval on the side.

"The name, establishment, jurisdiction, etc., of Panshi Fort, this official will be compiled into a book and reported to Datong Town for the record in the next few days." Liu Ruozai looked at Dong Ce and said: "I called you this time, first, to ask about the progress, and secondly, Da Min wants to transport all the things with your money and food this time, but you need to lead the way and bring people to protect it." ”

Dong Ce was overjoyed, he didn't expect Liu Ruozai to be so efficient, and he would put all the materials in order so quickly and prepare for shipment. According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to do this process without a month! Even if it is delayed until the Chinese New Year, it may not be. It can also be seen from this that Liu Ruozai is indeed very concerned about this matter.

He quickly thanked him again.

"Do you need anything else?" Liu Ruozai asked.

"This ......" Dong Ce pondered for a moment and said, "The last general will ask for a group of people from the Lord Xiang and ask for a right." ”

"You say!"

"That's right, the last time I broke the horse thief {one + book} read} the novel ybdu, the last general used one hundred and forty soldiers from Shilipu as a phalanx of foot soldiers, which attracted the attention of the horse thief, and only then did he break it. There are still sixty-six of these soldiers who survived, and these soldiers can survive and have seen blood, which can be regarded as rare old soldiers, and they are quite valuable strength. However, their current establishment is still attached to the bottom of Shilipu, and the last general wants to ask them and their families to be classified as military households under Rock Fort. ”

"What is this, isn't it sixty-six military households?" Liu Ruozai waved his hand: "Given!" Say your power! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Dong Ce thanked him, and then said: "The so-called right is the right to act cheaply. The last general has to train the troops, but sometimes he has to do some extraordinary things to achieve the goal, and the last general asks the lord to grant the last general the right to dispatch the new army at will. ”

Liu Ruozai thought for a moment and said, "Yes!" However, it is necessary not to disturb the people, and before acting, it must be reported to the military garrison and the yamen. ”

Dong Ce said: "The last general will obey the order, thank you for your success." ”

"The last time I broke the horse thief and beheaded dozens of merits, this official has already reported it, and now the general army of Datong Mansion is going through the process, and your new reward and appointment are about to come down." Liu Ruozai said in an unquestionable and disobedient tone: "When your reward is down, start working on that matter!" ”

Xu was because Ji Changfeng was present, but it was inconvenient for him to say it so bluntly, but Dong Ce naturally understood.

Dong Ce didn't ask why, just nodded yes and agreed.

He knew that Liu Ruozai was more proficient in things like ******** than himself, and all he needed along the way was to watch more, listen more and talk less.

And he believes that Liu Ruozai must have been secretly arranged, and it is impossible for a thoughtful person like him not to prepare in advance. When the time comes, it will be thunder and lightning, an irresistible thunderbolt!

As soon as they got out of the gate, Ji Changfeng suddenly took two steps back, fell to the ground deeply, and said, "Thank you Lord Dong for living my whole family!" ”

Dong Ce startled him, quickly stepped aside, and said, "Master Ji, why is this so?" ”

Ji Changfeng's move was really too unexpected. For the reading seeds of the Ming Dynasty, especially the reading seeds with meritorious fame, this kind of gift is generally only available when you see the ruling of the court, that is, the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, or when you visit your own teacher. Ji Changfeng, the general judge of grain and grass, is also a dignified six-grade official, Dong Ce is just a hundred households with six grades, and in turn, he salutes Ji Changfeng almost the same.

At that moment, Dong Ce really had the feeling of losing his life.

Yes, in the Ming Dynasty, it was not a good thing for military generals to receive great gifts from Wenchen.

Ji Changfeng straightened up, looked at Dong Ce, and said with a grateful face: "Master Dong, if you save my younger brother, you will save my whole family!" ”

"Brother Ling?" Dong Ce's mind turned, and he was surprised: "Brother Ling is not Ji Changyun?" ”

"That's right." Ji Changfeng sighed, his face showed a trace of misery, he looked at Dong Ce and hesitated for a while, after all, he felt a sense of intimacy and gratitude.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Five years ago, Neiko died in childbirth, and the child was not saved. My family only has two boys in the next and the second brother, so the responsibility of inheriting the family has fallen on the second brother. That day, when I heard that my second brother and sister were kidnapped by Jiannu, everyone in the family was anxious and worried, but I didn't expect to be rescued by Master Dong......"

As he spoke, he shook again.

Dong Ce hurriedly stepped out of the way and said, "I'm ashamed, it's just in the next part." ”

"Hehe, it's a good part. It is because of his inner heart, not shirking, and not being cowardly, that Master Dong can achieve such a feat today. Ji Changfeng smiled faintly, with a little ridicule in his expression: "Except for you, Lord Dong, the other generals in Jibei Province don't even dare to do this internal thing, they can't do it!" It's really a glybone. ”

When he said this, he couldn't help but have a deep feeling, Dong Ce just smiled awkwardly, but he couldn't interface with it.

"It's me who is abrupt."

Although Ji Changfeng is a civil official, his personality is quite heroic, he laughed and revealed this layer.

"My brother ......" He seemed to want to say something, but after all, he stopped talking, but just sighed: "Forget it, don't mention it." Let's go, Master Dong, let's go to Dongcheng, the materials have been brought out of the warehouse. Go and see ......."

"Old man......"

In Liu Ruozai's study in the back house of the Yamen of Bingbei Road, the old servant retold the scene that had just happened at the door to Liu Ruozai in its original form.

"Ji Damin knows how to repay his kindness, and he doesn't take a shelf, it's right, but he is a dignified six-grade civil servant who salutes a military general, and he inevitably loses his identity. Dong Hanchen didn't dare to be arrogant, and politely refused, well, he did a good job. The young man is ambitious, and what he is most afraid of is arrogance, although this Dong Hanchen is not very old, he is very steady. ”

Liu Ruozai twisted his chin beard and smiled slightly: "It's not in vain that the old man cultivated him in Weimo." ”

When I arrived in Dongcheng, I saw that there were unusually many verbs, and those silver were easy to say, two thousand taels of silver, which was only less than one hundred and thirty catties, and a box was packed. However, 500 stone of grain is the big head, and the entire northern Hebei army is ready for the road, and the horse-drawn carts and ox carts that can be used by Liu Ruozai add up to less than 30 vehicles, which can barely pull 100 stone of grain. In addition, there are more than 50 small carts, which can solve 50 stone of grain, and the remaining 350 stone will have to be figured out by yourself.

In addition, those spears, bows, arrows, cotton armor, battle jackets, knives and axes, etc., also need to find their own way.

"It's up to Master Dong to figure out how to do this, and there's really nothing he can do about it." Pointing to the mountain of materials, Ji Changfeng smiled bitterly.

He secretly said in his heart, this Dong Ce really has to be valued by adults, other generals come to ask for pay and food, and the carts are all empty, and they go back empty. This is good, there are many things that can't be transported away, and the adults can be regarded as tossing all the family resources in North Hebei Province this time, just to support him.

Dong Ce said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Ji, I won't let you make it difficult." ”

He turned around and ordered: "Ma Lin, you eleven people go back to Anxiangdun, pass on my will, and bring out those war horses, one person and five horses, maybe you can control it?" ”

Ma Lin was slightly stunned and said, "It can be, but I'm afraid that if the turnover is not so proper, the speed will be slower." ”

"It's okay, if you can bring it, you can do it." Dong Ce threw his waist card to him: "This is a token, show it to Li Gui." ”

"Yes!" Marin is also the kind of person who doesn't talk much and does practical things, so he took the waist card and took a selfie and left.

Dong Ce confessed to Ji Changfeng: "Master Ji, forgive the sin, the last general's subordinates are too short of manpower, it seems that you have to run by yourself, and you will have to wait for a while." ”

Ji Changfeng smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll work here, you can go yourself." ”

Dong Ce galloped all the way back to Rock City.

All the way through, most of it was desolate, but when it came to the vicinity of Rock Fort, it bloomed with a different kind of vitality.

The large yellow and green meadows spread far away, and some of the people were fishing, some were burning, and Dong Ce galloped back to the rock fort. Everyone rushed up to meet them, not knowing what had happened.

Dong Ce didn't have time to say more, but just ordered Shi Jin to stay behind and send someone to sort out a few dry and sturdy warehouses and clean them up.

Then he hurried back non-stop.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Shi Jin and the others came over with seventy or eighty war horses, mules, donkeys, and other large animals. Seeing this huge herd of horses, Ji Changfeng couldn't help but be shocked, the Ming army has always had few horses, and it is very good to have sixty or seventy cavalry under a garrison, this Dong Ce is just a hundred households but can save such a family business, he is indeed a capable person, no wonder the adults value him so much.

Even if this is the case, it is not enough - the weight of the war horse is also limited, and generally it is best not to exceed two hundred catties, so as not to hurt the horsepower. In this way, there is still not much grain to be transported, and in the end, Dong Ce and Ji Changfeng discussed, the grain will be temporarily transported to a hundred stones, and the rest will be stored here first, and then transported one by one in the future. If it was someone else, Ji Changfeng naturally threw it off with a cold face, but Dong Ce's request, he readily agreed.

One hundred stones of grain, two thousand taels of silver, a hundred spears, a hundred bows, and six thousand arrows. There are five pairs of cotton armor, 200 mandarin duck battle jackets, 100 knives, and 10 big axes.
