I don't want to be king

Chapter 198 Expedition to Yuezhou (two in one)

No matter what, he doesn't want to become neither male nor female, what's the point of living like that.

There is no fun at all, it is better to die directly.

Fleeing all the way in embarrassment, seeing that Master did not catch up, he was finally relieved.

He didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune to meet such a master.

He was originally a young man in Jinji Mountain, and he lived with the head of the family and a group of brothers without a meal, living in nothing.

After all, Sanhe is too poor, and Jinji Mountain is even more remote, there is not even a passing caravan.

The nearby tribes are all poor, and there is no need to rob them at all.

Moreover, Liren and Lianren are quite fierce, and it is uncertain who will rob them in the end.

It's better not to mess with it.

As for the big households in Sanhe, each of them has a lot of money to support their servants and guards. Among them are Huajin and second-rank masters. Their masters can only do some fake tricks, and they are stronger than ordinary people. How dare they go.

The main purpose of their gathering is to protect the gold mine of Jinji Mountain. Although it is difficult to mine, it can be rewarded occasionally.

At the same time, they will also take the initiative to help the salt lords and smugglers transport goods, and they can also earn a little money, which is barely enough.

In any case, they will not starve to death.

It's just that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

Their cottage is on the top of Jinji Mountain. There are only a few dilapidated shacks, which are mainly used to keep out mosquitoes, tigers, leopards, and wolves. Otherwise, it is common for them to be snatched away in their sleep.

The most distinctive feature is their latrine, which is built on the cliff, where you can enjoy the scenery under your feet while enjoying the toilet, and there is no smell at all.

The biggest advantage is that once the toilet door is closed, there are no mosquitoes.

Because mosquitoes can't get up from the bottom of the cliff through the cesspit, unlike in the old forest, squatting for a while, the buttocks are red and swollen, one side is bitten by mosquitoes, and the other side is slapped by hands.

You can't live, you can't die.

That night, when they were the masters of the family, the wooden plank they were stepping on suddenly collapsed and fell straight down.

Below is the abyss, and with the fog, it is impossible to see the bottom.

This is really unexpected.

If they had known, they should have replaced that board.

The head of the family is dead, there is no doubt about it.

If you fall, you can still survive, unless it is a living god.

Obviously, they are not masters.

Just when everyone was about to divide things up and go home to farm, his master Ye Qiu came!
One person went up the mountain with one sword, and it was useless to beat them with a sword. He was kicked, and he didn't recover for a month, and it was hard to breathe.

Everyone was wounded, and he had to endure his aggrieved and carefully serve his master.

Later, his master announced the title of "scholar wielding the sword" in public.

Then start taking them to loot!
Being bandits for so many years, this is also their first robbery!
And it was the salt owl who grabbed it!

This is something I didn't even dare to think about before.

His master's kung fu is really high, and there is no single enemy.

So far, under the leadership of his master, in just half a year, their Jinji Mountain has become famous, and they ushered in a truly good day, eating meat in large pieces, drinking in large bowls, and dividing silver in large scales.

Thinking about it now, he still misses it a bit. After all, it was his master who contributed all the effort. They only followed behind to wave the flag and shout, make a big noise, and move things.

Moreover, under his stalking, he shamelessly called Master, although Master was impatient, he still gave some advice.

He officially embarked on the road of martial arts.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Suddenly one day, the master said that he was going to challenge the world's masters, and then he just left.

There is no explanation.

Then he became the head of Jinjishan, leading a group of brothers to continue to suffer under the name of his master "scholar wielding the sword".

He doesn't have the ability to challenge Yan Xiao like his master.

He was even afraid of Yan Xiao's revenge, so he didn't dare to come out of the mountains.

What a waste of time!

What he didn't expect was that the master would come back suddenly and bring him in front of Prince He.

Jinji Mountain returned to the prince, and he and a group of brothers were also sent to the Sanhe Guard, stationed on Fangniao Island, and became people who lived on monthly money, and married one wife and two concubines from refugees.

You can wake up with a smile in your dreams this day.

The only bad thing is that his immediate boss, Han Deqing, makes things difficult for him everywhere!

This time he dared to punch himself.

My biggest reliance in front of me——Master, can't even support me.

It's really frustrating.

While walking, he shook his head, halfway there, he realized that he came on horseback, but he didn't dare to go back, so he could only sneak back at night to avoid bumping into Master when he went back.

His family lived on the south bank of the Xijiang River, which was allocated by the chief secretary. His brothers basically lived together, and the house was built with the "buyout" fee from Jinji Mountain given by the Wangfu.

He distributed the most money, so naturally he built the largest house, with four rooms in the front and four rooms in the back, with walls drawn on both sides, where he lived with three wives and two children.

Two children, one was born to the main wife, the other was born to the concubine, a boy and a girl, one is still in swaddling clothes and the other is just learning to walk, they should be satisfied.

But raising a family is hard work!

The monthly money is only so little, what is it enough for?
Relying on his ingenuity, he learned how to ask for money from the merchants of Fangniao Island, and he received a few taels of silver every month.

The days are really chic.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and it was discovered by Han Deqing in less than half a year.

It didn't count if he beat himself up, and he even expelled himself from the guard.

What to do in the days to come.

After passing through the gate and entering the yard, I saw a child dressed in a short shirt sitting in the living room, holding chopsticks and a bowl, eating with big mouthfuls, looking like he was gobbling.

This is his brother-in-law, the younger brother of his wife.

His face collapsed in an instant, and he is not a rich landlord, so he can stand such a meal!

"came back."

When his wife Liu Shi saw him, she was embarrassed for a while.

"Um,"

Although Jiang Sixi was unhappy, he still held back.

After all, the condition for her willingness to marry him was to help raise her younger brother, "Is there no class in school today?"

When it comes to class, the school is in charge of the meals!

It's a waste to eat when you come back, you're a prodigal, you won't live.

Liu Shiqiang said with a smile, "He has finished elementary school, and the junior high school has not yet been built, so he will have a holiday right now, and he will live at home until the school is completed."

"So it is."

Jiang Sixi thought to himself, this school building might be finished when it is built, if it is not built well, there will always be extra chopsticks at home.

Don't you have to eat yourself poor?

When I think of the father and mother of the two concubines, I have another headache, and they are also the masters who come to play the autumn wind every now and then.

This day is over.

Still have to find a way to make money.

I couldn't stay at home any longer, I was very irritable for a while, after pacing back and forth in the main room, I turned around and went out again.

He has to go to his old brothers to discuss a way out and make some income. It is not a long-term solution to eat a mountain.

Three days later, he turned into a craftsman foreman. According to the most popular saying in Baiyun City, he is the manager of the construction team.

With a dozen old brothers, he specializes in repairing private roads and building houses for others. It is said that this old man has made money.

The first business he took was to repair Chunxiang Building.

The Chunxiang Building was flooded, and the small courtyard behind was basically burned down. He was an acquaintance with the manager of the Chunxiang Building, so it didn't take much effort to persuade the shopkeeper to hand over the business to him.

He asked Sun Xing, an old Taoist priest, to be the intermediary. The two parties signed and pledged, took the deposit, and officially started his real estate career.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Baiyun City finally stopped being so hot, and it was even a little cool at night.

Lin Yi was sitting in the yard, listening to Zixia and Mingyue's financial report, when Qi Peng came over.

Qi Peng waited for Mingyue and the two of them to finish speaking before cupping their hands and said, "The little eunuch Xuanzhi has arrived in Xinguang Town, and I'm afraid he will arrive tomorrow."

"If you don't say it, I'll forget it,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I don't know what the boss thinks, but I think that my brothers can go back obediently, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much."

Qi Peng said, "My lord, after Wadan retreated, King Yong seized the land of Liangzhou, and his army has expanded to 15. It is said that he is preparing to enter the capital Qingjun side together with King Jin and King Nanling."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Where is Lao Ba?
This Han Hui is also very incompetent, and he still can't win Chuzhou. "

Qi Peng said, "The King of Chu is gathering rout troops, trying his best to suppress the bandits, and wiped out two rebel armies. Han Hui is resting in Yuezhou and staying put."

"It's quite lively,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "All of them are quite capable of jumping."

Qi Peng continued, "General Yuan Qing has already arrived in the capital, and Shang Zuo resigned as Marshal of the Army and Horses. His Majesty tried to persuade him many times to stay, but in the end Zhun Zuo was accepted."

"Ha ha."

Lin Yi sneered and said, "Hey, it's really upright and hopeless. Since you abolished your martial arts, it will be difficult to turn around in the future."

Qi Peng said, "What the prince said is true."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "They are making a fuss, we can't just sit idle, Yuezhou and Hongzhou are pretty good, if they can be integrated with Sanhe, what do you think?"

He has no shortage of land, but people and money.

Sitting at home every day waiting for refugees, until the Year of the Monkey!
Besides, when refugees come, they still need resettlement, and resettlement requires money!
Why not just go there and turn them into people under your own rule!

"I will arrange porters to inquire about Hongzhou and Yuezhou now."

After Qi Peng finished speaking, he pushed the wheelchair and left.

Lin Yi said to Xiao Xizi, "Call those old men over here."

"Yes."

Xiao Xizi came back after going to the conference.

After waiting for about half an hour, the old men came together one after another.

Lin Yi asked Qi Peng to speak briefly, and the eyes of all the old men lit up. Shan Qi said directly, "Taking Hongzhou and Yuezhou will add another barrier to my three peace, which is really the right thing to do!"

Lin Yi interrupted, "What took it?
This is called suppressing bandits and maintaining the law of the court. "

"My lord said so,"

Chen Desheng sighed, "Yuezhou and Hongzhou are lands of fish and rice. They are rich and Taobai. Since there is a rebellion, the world's taxes have been reduced by three points. It is really a pity."

Lin Yi said, "Then it's settled. If you don't have money for the expedition, you can continue to borrow."

"My lord, don't worry,"

Shan Qi smiled and said, "As soon as the news of the expedition is released, there will naturally be people begging for money."

When Sanhe went on an expedition, every time the Chief Secretary lost money, it was the gentry and landlords who made the money.

After seeing the Chief Secretary's announcement, Sanhe was overwhelmed, especially those folks who had been to Daxicheng, and knew what it meant.

This time I went to Yuezhou and Hongzhou!

It is a completely different concept from the last time I went to Shiwan Dashan!

As long as your brain is active and your hands and feet are diligent, it is impossible not to make a fortune.

As for defeat, they never thought about it.

Lin Yi himself didn't know that these people actually developed the mentality of Sanhe being number one in the world, including those refugees from Yuezhou and Hongzhou.

They are more active in preparing for the battle than the officers and soldiers of the Sanhe Guards.

The most anxious person was Bian Jing, a craftsman on the road construction site, who ran away immediately.

The supplier conference hadn't even started yet, and Sanhe's big and respectable households had already assigned their quota, and they began to actively stock up before the order came down.

Bid rigging!
Lin Yi gritted his teeth angrily.

But they couldn't kill them.

They are all his own creditors, what can he do!
But the efficiency is nothing to say, it only took half a month to prepare the supplies for the expedition.

However, this time the supplier had more Lianren and Liren, and they provided a thousand ponies.

For them, this is a costless business. They capture wild horses that live in water and grass, and after a trip, they can drive dozens of them back, and then domesticate them in a unique way and sell them to locals and foreign merchants.

They have been doing this business since they settled in Baiyun City.

The most irritating thing is the Qian people. If they don't give money, they will not move.

They also ask to be suppliers.

Lin Yi yelled and yelled at me, eating my way and drinking my way, and receiving monthly money every month!

Moreover, the sons and daughters are still raised by themselves at school.

Even their residences were built with their own money.

How dare you say such a thing!

Not an iota of conscience.

He called the leader of the Guizhou people over, and said both good and cruel things, but he still only recognized money, not people.

He also took out the slogan he had painted on the wall to explain things: if you pay, you will get rewards; cooperation and win-win; development is the last word.
Lin Yi wondered if this was the simple and honest tribal man he knew back then?

Why are they all caught in Qian's eye now?
The overall situation is the most important thing, let's coax him first, and finally gave 1000 taels of silver.

The big deal is to settle accounts after autumn!
Sooner or later, let them know how much they have eyes with the prince!
What a sinister world!

Unlike the last attack against Ayuren, the commander of the expedition this time was Zhang Mian, who was promoted by the navy. After all, he was the only general in Sanhe who had been recognized by the court.

Although He Jixiang is still the coach in fact, he is just a supporting army and can only act in secret. He cannot appear in front of outsiders openly, and he can only be Zhang Mian on the surface.

After all, it is necessary to block the mouths of the world.

On the day of the army's expedition, He Jixiang hurriedly led the army northward before he had time to encourage morale in front of the officers and soldiers, because the [-] civilians had already left three days ahead of them.

He has to catch up quickly.

Many of these civilian husbands are martial arts masters, and they are lawless, so he has to keep an eye on them.

Moreover, all the luggage is with the civilian husbands, and if they can't catch up, [-] officers and soldiers will starve to death on the way?

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass, and they went too fast.

These folk husbands are becoming more and more unruly and shameless.
