Chapter 640 God's Help
In the early morning, thick fog filled the entire yard, and no one could be seen a few meters away, as if hiding everyone one by one. Until the sun came out, the mist lightly dispersed and countless strands of sunlight fell, as if covered with a thin layer of veil.
Yun Qing stood in the yard and said with a smile: "I have always heard that the mountain city is foggy, but now I have a deep understanding." The fog is fine, but if the fog is heavy, you can't see people at all.
Guan Tai smiled and said: "Fortunately, during the few days when we attacked the city, there was only mist rising in the morning." If the dense fog rises, the casualties will definitely be greater.
Yunqing raised his head and looked up at the sky, looking at the fiery sun and the blue sky, and said softly: "God is also on our side." Back then, he rushed to raise troops and encountered the warmest winter. Now we need the help of God to attack the mountain city. One time was a coincidence, but Yunqing didn't believe it was a coincidence every time, he preferred to believe that it was God helping him.
Guan Tai nodded in agreement and said: "If you are right, you will be helped more than if you are wrong, so even God will help us."
Hearing this, Yun Qing smiled lightly and said, "That's right, the study results in the past few years have been very good." Under the subtle influence of Yu Xi, Yun Qing would read books to enrich himself when he was busy. As the coach, Yun Qing worked so hard, the generals below did not dare to relax. Therefore, Guan Tai, Du Zheng and others have been working hard to improve their cultural standards in recent years. As long as you work hard, it will always pay off.
Si Bonian came over and reported to Yun Qing: "My lord, Zhifu Geng is out to see you." Zhifu Geng's surname is Geng Zhichou, and he was a Jinshi in Guangzong's 42nd year. Later, when he became an official in Wupin Zhizhou, he was involved in a case and was blamed. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he was dismissed from office and deprived of his fame. After he was released from prison, he took his family back to the mountain city.
Geng Zhifu came here this time to tell Yunqing a good news. More than four hundred miles away from the mountain city is a place called Shijiagou, where there is a silver mine. Geng Zhifu said: "This silver mine was discovered in May last year, and it has not been mined yet." Geng Zhichou told Yunqing when he got the news, and he wanted to show his credit.
What Yunqing and Yuxi lack most now is money: "Is the news true?" The gold mine in the northwest can still be mined for at most two years. Without gold mines, the finances will be even tighter.
Seeing Geng Zhichou nodding, Yunqing asked: "How big is that silver mine?" If it was small, it would be a drop in the bucket. Of course, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, and you have to dig it even if it's small.
Geng Zhichou said: "This silver mine is bigger than Jiangzhu's silver mine, and I don't know the rest for now." A large silver mine does not mean that the amount of silver produced is large. These conditions have to be mined to know.
Yunqing immediately sent Gao Song to take people to check the situation of the silver mine, and if it is true, it will be mined immediately.
A few days later, Yunqing got the exact news that there was indeed a silver mine in Shijiagou, which was not only large, but also had a high silver content.
When Yunqing got the news, he immediately wrote a letter. Letting Yuxi know the good news earlier can also make Yuxi feel lighter, so that she doesn't have to worry about money for the time being.
Before the letter was delivered, Yuxi's letter arrived. A thick envelope contained not only Yu Xi's letter, but also Zao Zao and Liu Er's letters. What surprised Yunqing was that there was a letter from Brother Hao in it.
Yun Qing opened Brother Hao's letter first, and couldn't help laughing after reading it.
Seeing Yun Qing so happy, Si Bonian asked jokingly, "My lord, what kind of happy event is it?"
Yun Qing handed Brother Hao's letter to Si Bonian, and said, "This kid has only studied with Mr. for two days, yet he dares to write to me." up.
Sibenian took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing. The things written on it were like heavenly scriptures, which he couldn't understand.
Yun Qing put the letter away and said with a smile: "After twenty years, I will show this to him. I wonder if he can understand what is written here?"
Spernian had a different idea,
Said: "The son knows how to write letters to the prince at such a young age, he is really a filial child." It doesn't matter what you write, what matters is this heart.
When parents like to hear others praise their children, Yunqing is also a mortal, and naturally he is no exception: "Don't praise him like that, the kid will become complacent if you praise him too much." very good.
Sibonian shook his head and said: "Certainly not. With the teaching of the princess and the old man, the son will definitely become an upright man in the future." Gao Song is full of hostility towards Yuxi, but Sibonian admires Yuxi very much. Because Yuxi not only handles government affairs well, but several children are also taught very well. Any man who marries such a woman is a great blessing. Of course, a man without enough skills can't subdue such a woman. Fortunately, his prince happened to meet this condition.
Yun Qing said with a smile: "I don't ask too much, as long as he can be like Zao Zao, I will be satisfied."
After reading Brother Hao's heavenly book, and then reading Liu'er and Zaozao's letter, it will be much more comfortable. The last thing I read was Yuxi's letter.
There is a characteristic of Yuxi's writing to Yunqing, what is mentioned in the front is all business matters, and what is said in the back is all private matters. Oak-hee said in her letter that she planned to change the way pensions were paid. In addition to receiving twenty taels of silver, the family members of each soldier who died in battle can also be exempted from tax for six years. In this way, the financial pressure can be greatly relieved.
Yunqing has never opposed some of Yuxi's suggestions, and this time is no exception. Besides, Yuxi also said many other things in the letter. Basically, these are some important things that Yuxi has been dealing with during this period.
Because of Yuxi's move, although Yunqing is often not in the city of pickaxe, he knows all the major events that happened in the city of pickaxe.
After reading the letter, Yunqing is very good, and then took out one of the unopened letters and handed it to Si Bonian: "This is a letter from Master Yang to General Yu. You send someone to deliver it to him."
None of the high-ranking generals in the Northwest did not know about Master Yang. But not many people deal with him. After receiving the letter, Si Bonian asked: "Is there only a letter, nothing?" The medicine made by Master Yang is so good, knowing that the apprentice is injured, he will send some good medicine.
Yun Qing smiled and said: "There is something. Give the doctor what Master Yang sent, and let the doctor keep close to General Yu first." If there is any extra, it will naturally be withheld.
After Sibonian left, Yunqing tore up the previous letter and wrote a new one. Then it was handed over to the guards and sent back to Pickaxe City quickly.
Five days later, Yuxi received this letter from Yunqing. Seeing that a large silver mine was found in Shancheng, and the silver content was still very high, Yu Xi let out a sigh of relief. With this silver mine, her pressure was greatly relieved.
Putting down the letter, Yuxi left the study and went to Master Yang's yard. Before entering the yard, I heard the child crying loudly. Yuxi frowned, how could this nanny bring up a child? It's unreliable, and she cried like this with the hairball.
Only after entering the yard did he realize that the girl was wrong, because it was Master Yang who was holding the child at this time. Obviously, Mao Tuan didn't like Master Yang's hug, that's why he cried so loudly.
Yuxi walked over, and said to Master Yang, "Give me a hug!" It was also Zijin who was determined to be ruthless, and she was willing to leave the child behind. If it were her, how could she be willing to do so.
Master Yang handed the hair ball to Yu Xi, and said: "This kid has been crying for a quarter of an hour, do you want the doctor to come and have a look?" He was worried that the hair ball was sick.
Yu Xi hugged Mao Tuan in her arms, humming a little tune softly, Mao Tuan stopped crying immediately. He choked twice, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep. After handing the child to the nurse, Yuxi said: "The child should be sleepy, and you can't coax him, so he keeps crying." Yuxi has brought three children by herself, so she is very experienced in this aspect.
Master Yang scolded with a smile: "This boy, you really dislike me as an old man!"
Yu Xi smiled and said: "Just got the news, Yu Zhi and Zi Jin have promised to come back after a while. This time, I will never leave again."
Master Yang had a happy expression on his face, and he hoped that the younger generation would be by his side when he was old. Even if you don't do anything, you feel at ease. But Master Yang thought about Zijin's temperament, and asked: "Zijin likes the life in the military camp so much, let her come back, is she willing?"
Yu Xi smiled and said: "Why don't you want to? Could it be that she can leave her husband and children and go to the military camp?" If so, she would be the first to refuse.
Master Yang thought for a while and said, "If possible, let Zijin go to Qianwei Camp!" It's rare that this girl is self-motivated, and Master Yang would not bear to break her wings just like that.
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "When they come back, it's up to them. If Zijin doesn't go to the Qianwei camp, it's okay to let him enter the guard camp of the palace." Xu Wudang's deputy is qualified enough.
Master Yang nodded and said: "It's good to be able to enter the guard camp, it won't waste her martial arts." After finishing speaking, Master Yang said with some sighs: "Zijin is now a fourth-rank Shouwei, and now she is retiring from the army. It's a pity to come out."
Yuxi thought for a while and replied: "You can't have both. And I think that Zijin is able to be where she is today, thanks to half of Yu Zhi's credit." Yu Zhi and Zijin are at the same level.
After saying a few words, Yuxi was ready to leave. Master Yang stopped him, then walked into the room and took two pieces of paper and handed them to Yu Xi, saying: "This is the prescription I made, it has been tested, and the effect is very good." The formula passed down He can't take it out, but the formula he made himself doesn't have this restriction.
Yu Xi picked it up and looked at it, one part was for hemostasis and the other part was for speeding up wound healing. Yuxi immediately bowed to Master Yang: "Thank you on behalf of the soldiers." With these two formulas, many people will die in the future, and many people may not have to become disabled.
Master Yang didn't take any credit, and said: "Girl Han, I developed these two prescriptions for you." The lives of those soldiers have nothing to do with him. Because of Yuxi's special care, he wanted to use these two prescriptions to repay Yuxi's favor.
No matter what the reason is, these two prescriptions were developed by Master Yang, so no one can take away his credit.
The discovery of a silver mine in Shijiagou can only be concealed from ordinary people, but not from those who are interested.
Yan Wushuang got the news in the fastest time: "A big silver mine was discovered in the mountain city?" Zhou Jinpeng felt that he couldn't defend the mountain city, so he transported all the gold and silver treasures he had accumulated over the years. All the wealthy households in the mountain city also left. Yan Wushuang thought that Yunqing would get nothing this time, just like capturing Shanxi and other places, but he didn't expect that this person actually got another silver mine.
Gao Dongnan nodded and said: "According to the information obtained, the silver mine in Shijiagou is three times that of the silver mine in Huangyan Mountain in the northwest, and the silver content in the ore is also very high." The problem is that the silver mine in Huangyan Mountain was already It has almost been mined by Ji Xuan, but the silver mine in Shijiagou has not been mined yet! This gap is not generally large.
Yan Wushuang asked: "Can it be destroyed?" If it is destroyed, everyone will lose it.
Gao Dongnan shook his head and said, "Now the silver mine is heavily guarded, and our people can't get close!" Even if there is no heavy guard, the silver mine is not something they can destroy. This is a mine, nothing else.
Meng Nian skipped over the matter of the silver mine and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of well salt in Shu. Now all of these well salt have fallen into the hands of the Northwest Army. It is even more powerful for them." Salt tax accounted for a large proportion. These well salts will also generate a large amount of income for Yunqing and the others in the future.
Yan Wushuang said: "Having captured Shu, Yunqing's next goal must be Jiangnan. The ridiculous thing is that Yu Baojia hasn't realized his situation yet." As for the olive branch he threw out, Yu Baojia didn't take it.
After saying this, Yan Wushuang sneered again: "You must wait for the Northwest Army to hit the door, and then you will know how to be afraid." It is a foregone conclusion to ask him for help when you get to the door, how could he send troops again!
Meng Nian said: "My lord, if Jiangnan falls into Yunqing's hands, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us." They also purchased a large amount of grain from Jiangnan last year. If Jiangnan is occupied by Yunqing, then don't even think about buying a grain of grain from Jiangnan. Furthermore, Yunqing's strength will definitely increase if he occupies Jiangnan. Relatively speaking, they also fell into a disadvantage.
Yan Wushuang snorted coldly and said, "If that wasn't the case, why would I send people to lobby again and again. We have enough sincerity. Since he is unwilling to cooperate, we can't force it." Seeing Meng Nian's tangled expression , Yan Wushuang said: "Yu Baojia may not be able to see the crisis here, but Yu Chunhao will definitely be able to see it." When Yu Baojia took the initiative to propose cooperation, they had the final say on the conditions.
Meng Nian hummed and said, "I hope so." Seeing Yunqing's growing power but being unable to stop it, this feeling is really terrible.
Yan Wushuang recalled what happened back then, and said with a complicated expression: "I never thought that my biggest enemy would be Yun Qing." He used to think that Yun Qing was brave and staid, so he didn't look down on Yun Qing at all, and was not recognized by Yun Qing. It is pure luck that the people of the Song family can survive after being killed. Unexpectedly, he was not only lucky to survive, but also his worst enemy in the future.
Meng Nian said: "Who says it's not!" (To be continued)
