Seeing Huangfu kneeling quietly in front of him, Chen Mu nodded slightly: "We will be brothers from now on, get up."
For Huangfu, what if he leaves? Will he be an ordinary citizen for the rest of his life? I can feel that Chen Mu is an extraordinary person, and I always feel that following him, I can create a career in the future.
After the rebel army was dealt with, Chen Mu returned to Jiaozhou City again.
The grain transported from Yizhou arrived in Jiaozhou smoothly, and after ten days, the famine was gradually stabilized.
It's already winter now, but due to geographical reasons, Jiaozhou still doesn't feel the slightest bit of cold.
Chen Mu said slowly on top of the city tower: "After this winter, we can open up wasteland and farm next spring. It's time for me to return to Yizhou."
Shi Jun patted Chen Mu on the shoulder: "This time I brought millions of people in Jiaozhou, so I thank Brother Chen."
Chen Mu waved his hand: "It is our duty to save the people of the world, but do you still remember the more than 10,000 rebels? Now that Jiaozhou has not been completely restored, please leave these people to me."
After all, the rebellion took place in Jiaozhou. Even if Chen Mu wanted to use these people for his own purposes, he would have to obtain the consent of Jiaozhou Mu.
Shi Jun waved his hand cheerfully: "Brother Chen does what he wants."
Chen Mu cupped his hands and said, "Well, now that the disaster has been determined, my brother and I should go back to Yizhou tomorrow."
Chen Mu was the benefactor of the entire people of Jiaozhou. During this period, the people in the city were often spooned out porridge by the King of Shuchuan himself.
In the despair caused by death, how could these people not shed tears of gratitude when such a savior suddenly appeared?
That night, all the people in Jiaozhou City held a farewell banquet for Chen Mu.
Now there is no wine, no meat, only gruel. Among countless torches, Chen Mu is standing in the center of many people. Most of the people are looking at this figure with red eyes.
"Your Majesty is really a lucky star sent to us from heaven!"
"That's right, if the prince hadn't come with the food, my child would have starved to death!"
"If it weren't for the prince, I'd probably starve to death!"
"How wonderful it would be if the prince became the emperor of Longxia!"
Many people heard this, Chen Mu was holding the porridge with a solemn expression, but his heart was filled with joy.
In addition to saving these lives, disaster relief also builds popularity.
If one day the world really pushes you to that point, even if you rebel, in the eyes of the people of the world, it will be an act of justice, not rebellion.
As long as you stand on the commanding heights of morality, you will be successful.
At that moment, he looked around at the victims with a red look, then raised the porridge in his hand and said loudly: "As long as I am here, everyone is safe!"
After saying that, he finished the porridge in one gulp.
After that night, in the early morning of the next day, Chen Mu led ten thousand people to the entrance of Jiaozhou City, preparing to get up.
"After this farewell, I don't know how long it will be before I see Brother Chen again!"
The emotion on Shi Jun's face was not a show, men actually fall in love with each other at first sight. Shi Jun had an indescribable admiration and affection for the young man in front of him.
Chen Mu smiled: "The Yellow River and the Yangtze River can meet each other in the sea, let alone you and me. I recognize you as my big brother."
Shi Jun smiled and nodded, then looked inexplicably at Huangfu behind Chen Mu.
Huangfu felt the gaze and couldn't help but turn his head away. After all, Chen Mu had let the news out that the leader of the rebel army was dead.
Shi Jun had a look of understanding on his face, but he didn't reveal anything. He patted Chen Mu on the shoulder and then said meaningfully: "Brother Chen has great ambitions. If one day you really want to ride on the wind, don't forget... I
This big brother!"
Chen Mu's face froze, but he could certainly hear the meaning behind the words. He felt that these tens of thousands of rebels were the biggest gain of this trip. Who would have thought... Jiaozhou Mu gave such a big gift.
However, Chen Mu didn't say anything. He handed over his hand and said: "When there is a big deal, I will never forget my eldest brother."
After saying that, one man mounted his horse and headed back home under the watch of Shi Jun.
After staring for a long time, Shi Jun grinned: "I'm afraid I won't be peaceful for the rest of my life!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and slowly returned to Jiaozhou City.
By the time we returned to Yizhou, it was already the beginning of severe winter.
It snows heavily every day, and almost the entire Yizhou area is covered in heavy snow.
Huangfu has grown up in Jiaozhou, a place where spring is like all year round. Now seeing this vast expanse of snow and wearing a fur coat that he has never seen before, he is as curious as a country man entering the city.
Thinking that Chen Mu hadn't noticed him, he even picked up a piece of snow and put it in his mouth to taste what it tasted like. It was very funny.
"What does it taste like?"
Hearing Chen Mu's teasing words, Huangfu's face turned red and he quickly changed the subject.
"You said that Oda Guishuo set up this conspiracy, but you relieved the disaster and did not rebel. I think that Japanese woman must be very depressed at the moment, right?"
Chen Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What is a conspiracy? It's a conspiracy if both ends are dead ends. We have fallen into someone else's trap."
Huangfu's expression froze: "Why?"
Chen Mu was like a teacher, explaining to Huangfu: "If the disaster relief is successful, does it mean that I have completely threatened the centralization of the Longxia court? If the contradiction between the two further intensifies, the court will definitely try its best to get rid of me. One day
I had to be forced to rebel and cause civil strife in the Central Plains, and then they took advantage of it."
Thinking of that young woman, Chen Mu really admired her to the extreme. It was like playing chess. When someone else makes the first move, they can already see the next four moves. This kind of opponent is the most deadly.
"This plan is really too meticulous..." Huangfu also had a look of amazement on his face, and now he has resigned himself to his fate. He can just hang around under the hands of others. Even if the world is in chaos, he will never be able to participate.
Until noon that day, Chen Mu took everyone back to Shu County.
Today's Shu County is actually more like an industrial city, with all kinds of factories and kilns concentrated here.
In order to satisfy Wang Qiong's military industry, there are hundreds of smelting kilns, and nearly 5,000 workers are busy in them.
Along the way, Huangfu was also amazed. Outside Yizhou, there were only refugees and dead people, but inside Yizhou, there was a group of people full of vitality.
But then, something even more shocking appeared.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Bursts of roaring sounds instantly rang in his ears: "This... what is this!"
Huangfu pointed at the dozens of iron lumps in the distance with a look of horror on his face.
Chen Mu said calmly: "This is called a cannon."
But at this moment, Wang Qiong ran over jumping.
After the cannon was built, Chen Mu readily appointed him as the Director of the Weapon Operation Bureau to manage the affairs of the entire Weapon Operation Bureau.
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, thirty tiger cannons have been manufactured. Do you want to see the power of the thirty cannons?"
