Chapter 587 Lets go to Xizhou to pull cinders together!
"Uncle frowned and said nothing, and changed the subject?" Yan Yu was a little confused: "Uncle is not happy? Then why don't you refuse the marriage directly? Having said that, dad, second brother Cheng is actually okay? At the beginning,
Mr. Gu Feng proposed to marry the eldest sister for his son, and the uncle patiently observed it for a while. Is there something wrong with Brother Cheng that we didn’t see?"
Yan Laoer thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of your Grandma Tian's reputation that I can't refuse her outright." He said earnestly, "Dabao, you have to understand the heart of a father. Who is eyeing his daughter?"
Do brats look good to you? Besides, your uncle probably has no plans to get married now."
Hearing what Yan Laoer said so categorically, Yan Yu asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Yan Laoer: What else can you do? Then Cheng Lezhou was admitted as a scholar!
"Your uncle is a scholar, and Cheng Lezhou is also a scholar. How can your uncle take on the arrogance of his father-in-law? Wait until after the autumn of this year, and your uncle will be admitted to the Juren Examination. Maybe you can consider him. Think about it carefully, is this the truth?
"
Yan Yu:……
He asked with a serious look: "Dad, if you never pass the examination as a scholar, your future son-in-law will have to be chosen from a boy student or younger? Illiterates will be given priority?"
Yan Laoer almost fell down in anger: "You damn girl, you can say whatever you want, you don't know how to be ashamed!"
"Why are you so embarrassed!" Yan Yu raised her chin, looking very proud of herself: "I am a childish child!"
Yan Laoer was left speechless. He pointed at her and was speechless.
Yan Yu said with a smile: "Uncle is not like your father, why are you afraid that you can't suppress your son-in-law? Hahahaha! What kid can't bow his head in front of the uncle? The aura of the uncle, tsk tsk! Not to mention that the second brother Cheng has just been admitted as a scholar.
That is, in the future, if you are admitted to the Juren or Jinshi examinations, or if you are lucky enough to be the top scholar and come back, you will have to kneel down when you should!"
"Don't worry, Dad!" Yan Yu patted her chest and assured, "Which of your two future sons-in-law is disobedient? Xiaoya'er and I can take care of them without you taking action."
Yan Yu smiled even more happily thinking about her sister's little strength. It was so good that she didn't have to worry about her sister being offended by her brother-in-law at all!
Yan Laoer wiped his sweat and suddenly felt a little sorry for his future son-in-law.
Regarding Yan Qianchu's marriage, father and daughter talked about it for a while and then put it down. In the end, it was Lao Yan who made the final decision.
"Look, your mother told you, you dare to make the decision on your own for such a big thing as robbing Xizhou and killing Beirong. How can you deal with it without your uncle to help you deal with the aftermath?" Yan Laoer felt that although he and his wife were far away,
But my heart was connected to my heart, and I immediately became nervous again.
"I only dare to do it if my uncle is here!" Yan Yu continued to read: "Mom said that Jiuxiao can send letters home, so we can let the uncle know... instead of sending the letter directly to the uncle, but through
It is indeed feasible to change hands at home. It is reasonable for a tamed eagle to recognize its home, isn't it?
In this way, the communication between us and the uncle will be much faster. The situation in Xizhou will be synchronized with the uncle as soon as possible. Judging from the information collected so far, Xizhou has been preparing for many years. We need money, people, and even equipment, military horses, etc.
Everything is ready, and there is only one thought left before taking action!"
Yan Yu sighed with emotion: "It's too dangerous! Dad, it's true that the ignorant are fearless. Now, do you dare to make as much trouble as you did a while ago?"
Yan Laoer remained silent.
That must be something you don’t dare to do!
This King of Qi is like a firecracker now. If there are any sparks, it will explode!
"I will go back now and draw out the map of the city, the distribution of infantry, granaries, bank vaults, etc., as well as the number of people in each battalion that we can infer from rice, noodles, vegetables and meat..." Yan Yu counted on his fingers.
Yan Laoer added next to him: "It's okay to be careful with the paintings in the city. Those outside the city are blurry. Otherwise, if your uncle asks, how do we know the location of the private soldiers hidden by the King of Qi? It's hard to explain."
Yan Yu nodded fiercely: "Well, I know that we need to write more about the difficulty of the inquiring process. These are the places we have traveled, and we can really estimate the number of people from the quantity of transported materials. This is the number. After confirmation by Jiuxiao, it is closer to reality.
,hey-hey!"
…
Yan Huaiwen was walking in Huju City, wandering aimlessly.
The snow that had not yet been cleared was crunching under my feet.
The shops on both sides of the street are doing pretty well, and many people from outside the city come in and out, mostly Kuhaha, pulling sledges of different sizes, but very similar.
Rolling black smoke rose from the houses on both sides, accompanied by noisy conversations, bringing a bit of excitement to the snow-covered Tiger City.
All the coal brought back from Xizhou will be sent to Huju.
The destination is different.
The batch that the prince bought back was rested briefly in Huju and then shipped back to Yongning.
Prince Renyi, before leaving Huju, left part of it with Huju.
Mr. Tian knew that this was the coal Yan Laoer had fought for at the expense of his face, so he accepted it calmly without any hesitation.
The coal, cattle, sheep and other items brought back by the militia will not be seen for the time being.
It was a little tossing in from the mountains, bypassing roadside defenses.
The whole process was handled by Yan Huaiwen. The coal was quietly put into the government warehouse, and the cattle, sheep, and leather goods were directly brought back to the military camp next to Xiao'an Village by the militia.
The Xizhou soldiers he brought back and the poor people who had been kidnapped by the Beirong for many years were all sent to the quarry by him personally.
The former wears shackles and anklets.
Work!
The quarry is full of methods for treating disobedient prisoners.
The quarry, which had been completely shut down due to the cold weather, is now in operation again.
The stewards were originally very worried, fearing that they would be caught renting out the relatives of the exiled prisoners. Unexpectedly, Yan Huaiwen not only refused to pursue the matter nor asked any questions, but also sent so many strong white workers.
I am so happy that my eyes and ears are closed.
After Yan Huaiwen showed him the elder's private seal in private, the last trace of hesitation disappeared.
It doesn’t matter who they are, if the master agrees, what else can they say?
Chisel the stone!
Knowing that those men, women, and children were all kidnapped Guanzhou people, the steward and his subordinates gathered together to study for a long time.
They roughly guessed what happened.
When Yan Hushu said that the rations for these people would be delivered regularly by the government, the stewards of the quarry refused on the spot and said that they would take good care of these people and would not let them do any work.
In winter, take good care of your body...
Yan Huaiwen returned home satisfied, and the next day he sent someone to deliver three loads of coal.
As for the cinders that are being pulled back one after another.
The prince was not greedy for merit and told the King of England exactly what happened to the coal buying group.
The King of England didn't know whether he didn't pay attention to the cinders, or he had some other thoughts. He passed the cinders transported back from Xizhou to Master Tian and handed them over to Yan Huaiwen for handling.
Yan Huaiwen's method of handling it is also unique.
He handed over official documents to each level, stating that the cinders were the prince's intervention, and his younger brother had spoken out to fight for the people of Guanzhou. It should not be exclusive to one village or city. People in all cities in Guanzhou can get it for themselves. Those who are interested can come to Huju.
