Mr. Song's intestines were filled with regret, but as a gentleman he couldn't show it, so he just waved his sleeves and pretended not to care.
In fact, this name was just a coincidence. In the past, Mr. Song would not have used this word, and "Tao" really didn't mean much. But after I came to Taozhou, or I should say, after getting along with the Zhao family, I felt that those false names did not mean anything at all.
Don't worry, just like a word, there is no difference between good and bad. If you choose an honest name, you will still be corrupt.
To put it bluntly, as long as you feel it is suitable and interesting, it will be fine. For the Zhao family, Taozhou is indeed worth thinking about for a lifetime.
After thinking of this, Mr. Song was about to get up and go back. As soon as he took a step forward, he heard Mrs. Yang's voice: "Sir, don't leave in a hurry. Let's have some fun together later. Come, I'll give you a cup of tea."
Mr. Song stopped. He seemed to feel a little thirsty, so he wanted to drink a cup of tea before leaving.
Zhao Luoyang looked at the bustle at home. No matter what she did, it would be worth seeing it in the end. The things in her dreams were also diluted by this smile.
Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu: "Brother Tao is here, and there will be many more from now on."
Brother Tao was the child that she could not give birth to in her dream. Now he was lying next to her third aunt. Just now she cried loudly. Now that she has Brother Tao, she can have everything she wants.
…
Wang Zeng left Guzang Fort early in the morning and watched with his own eyes the people in the village heading northwest in great numbers.
These people carried the same things as in previous years, some grain, felt tents and bedding. Both men and women drove horses, cattle, and sheep, chatting and laughing all the way, and the team was very long.
There were a few men riding horses back and forth, but they could only scare the bandits.
"Maybe he didn't notice it," Wang Zeng said. "Otherwise, at least we need to bring more food...women also have to stay at home. Otherwise, if we really run into trouble, women will be a drag."
Hu Zheng nodded. He was worried about Wang Zeng. He came here specially to check. Only when he saw everything with his own eyes could he feel at ease.
"Don't be in a hurry," Hu Zhengdao said, "Follow them for a while and see how they do at night."
If you are prepared, you will always show your weaknesses.
Wang Zeng responded: "However, just the food they brought will not make any difference." With so many people, how can they lack food and drink?
Hu Zheng nodded. After all, what he was most worried about did not happen. This was a very important step. The Feng family could find any excuse to lead troops to Taozhou, but because the Grand Master and those people were watching, and Xie Chen was in Taozhou
, this accusation must be found to be more decent, so as not to be criticized by others.
Leaving Taozhou is equivalent to leaving under Xie Chen's nose. When the time comes that these people have contact with the Tubo people, what will Xie Chen say?
Wang Zeng said: "We can prepare for the next step."
The next step is to inform the second prince of Tubo and have his troops prepare to come to Taozhou.
Hu Zhengdao: "How are those people in Fengxia Village?"
Wang Zeng smiled and said: "We are repairing the house. We have pulled out a lot of bricks. I heard that we need to pave the road. The road from Fengxia Village to the village needs to be repaired."
Hu Zheng showed a faint smile: "They really didn't waste their time."
"Maybe they want to rely on the village to make money in the future," Wang Zeng said. "This way the carriages and horses can go much faster. I asked people to go find out the news. They also want to level the road out of Taozhou to make it more convenient.
Merchants come to bring goods."
"Needless to say, merchants, when General Feng comes to Taozhou, the journey will be smooth."
Wang Zeng felt that if the people in Fengxia Village knew about the road they were building today, they would send soldiers and horses in the future. These soldiers and horses would reach the entrance of their village, and they would definitely die without doing it.
Foolish people are fools after all. No matter how smart they are, all they can see is the bowl of rice in front of them. Originally, Hu Zheng felt that he had to do something if he stayed, but now he has no use for it.
But there are some things that need to be told.
"There's a letter from Miss." Hu Zheng said.
Wang Zeng immediately straightened his back to show respect for Miss Feng.
"The young lady wants the lives of the entire Zhao family. If we can capture Zhao Luoyang alive, then we will kidnap her and take her to the capital. The young lady wants to see her."
Wang Zeng responded: "That is Zhao Luoyang's blessing. If it were not for the young lady, this kind of person would probably never see the prosperity of our great capital, Kyoto."
Wang Zeng was smart enough not to ask about the origins of the Zhao family, and what the relationship was between Zhao Luoyang and Miss Feng Er. A woman like Miss Feng Er may seem generous, but in fact she is narrow-minded. It will not be good for her to care about her.
As a result, when the time comes, he will just throw the people in a bundle to the Feng family, so why bother to worry about it.
"These slaves will do a good job," Wang Zeng said. "When the young master comes to Taozhou, he only needs to settle down in the government office, and the rest will be left to the slaves."
Feng Chenghai didn't know how to fight at all, and he was waiting to win military honors in Fujian. Besides, the cavalry and the navy were different. Wang Zeng could almost imagine that when Feng Chenghai entered Taozhou, he would give him some troops and horses and let him do whatever he wanted.
Go and toss.
These soldiers and horses have long been in Wang Zeng's pocket. In addition, he is also thinking about the armaments brought by Feng Chenghai. The Feng family is rushing to give him a future. What can he do even if he calls himself a "slave"? Kneel down.
When I came down and imitated the barking of a dog, he didn't say anything at all.
"Then let's start?" Wang Zeng asked Hu Zheng respectfully, as if he was letting Hu Zheng make the decision.
Hu Zheng nodded, and Wang Zeng couldn't help but want to laugh.
…
If you come to Taozhou these days, the most common thing you will see is that people are busy on Guan Road. They have widened the road by four feet. This way, it is more than enough for two families of cars and horses to pass on this road.
The road is not far away, but it is much easier to walk in and out of Taozhou, and the potholes have been smoothed out, so that they will not be full of mud holes when it rains.
Zhao Luoyang was still dissatisfied, but now that he had no money, he had to do this.
Building a house and repairing land required a lot of money, and Zhao Luoyang even used the money from selling tea one after another.
Niu Daochang and Zhao Xuejing whispered: "Do you think they dare to take the road we built?"
Zhao Xuejing said: "If they don't take this road, can they still make their own way?"
Niu Daochang smiled and said: "That's good, we didn't repair it in vain."
After this time, they may have understood that they have to build the road themselves. The road paved by others looks like a road, and there may be something underneath. How dare they walk with confidence?
The two people were talking when they saw a messenger running towards them: "Battle report, battle report, get out of the way quickly."
"Here we come." Niu Daochang said. He found that at this moment, he was quite calm and didn't feel scared at all, because they had known about this day a few months ago.
"Let's go," Zhao Xuejing turned around, "let's go back and report the news."
You don't need to go to the government office to inquire, they can guess that the battle must have been defeated.
