The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 230

Chapter 240 Two

"Please get up quickly, do you know me?" Chen Ziming looked at Lu Xin in front of him suspiciously. In Chen Ziming's memory, he definitely did not have the memory of this person.

"This subordinate was fortunate to fight with the army division in Youzhou and other places, but he had to leave the army because of his disability." Lu Xin stood respectfully in front of Chen Ziming, and the strong man who followed Lu Xin was still kneeling on the ground, full of emotion. The head is a Han, if he doesn't know who is in front of him now, he will be a soldier for so many years in vain.

"Military Master, this is my brother Lu Wu. He acted recklessly and offended the Military Master. Please see that we have little merit and give him a lighter punishment. I am willing to accept it together." Lu Xin glanced at the man kneeling on the ground. Lu Wu then knelt down to Chen Ziming again to plead for mercy.

"Get up quickly, you are all meritorious soldiers, there is no need to do this, and this time is my fault, how can I punish you." Chen Ziming hurriedly pulled Lu Xin and Lu Wu, both of whom were retired soldiers, Moreover, he followed him to fight everywhere, and now that he landed here, Lu Xin even lost an arm, which made Chen Ziming feel sad and heartbroken.

"Army, please come with me." Lu Xin pushed away the people around him, and led Chen Ziming and others into the real village. Lu Xin would take them to a fairly spacious house, and then he would send people to prepare food and drink while he accompanied With Chen Ziming and others.

"Lu Xin, why is this place so heavily guarded?" Along the way, Chen Ziming found that this village was very unusual. Not only was the outside of the village heavily guarded, but the entire village was built like a military camp, and there were patrols.

"Reporting to the military division, the village was only built last year. As for why the protection is so strict, it is because there is this thing here." Lu Xin said, opening a box in the room, and saw that it was filled with bright yellow stones.

"Gold!" Zhen Mi, who was terrified just now and holding Chen Ziming tightly, saw the box full of things, immediately let go of Chen Ziming, ran to the box, and shouted excitedly, leaving Chen Ziming and Cai Yan speechless for a while.

"Madam is right. It is gold. There is a gold mine in the back mountain of Lu Village. In the name of the county magistrate, we built the village here for the convenience of mining this thing." Lu Xin explained to Chen Ziming.

Zhen Mi's face turned red when Lu Xin called out his wife, but she didn't explain anything. After glancing at Chen Ziming, she walked lightly to Cai Yan's side, and shook Cai Yan's hand from side to side.

"Oh, there is gold here, but this is the land of Fuzhou, there should be no strong enemies, why should we be so strict?" Chen Ziming still didn't understand, it stands to reason that there is no enemy in Fuzhou now, and no prince can threaten it. Fuzhou is right, so is Lu Village's strict defense necessary?

"The military commander doesn't know that although Fuzhou is stable, there are also thieves who make trouble, and mining gold mines is a hard and tiring job, and it is all done by leading sinners. They are also very skilled, so we must guard against them. The rogues outside the village are all made by Those criminals couldn't bear the hardship and tiredness, so they ran away, and then gathered together to make trouble." Lu Xin said to Chen Ziming with a serious face.

"Oh, that's how it is." Only then did Chen Ziming remember that there were many slaves in Fuzhou. A slave, a slave who lives or dies.

Either it was the original natives of Fuzhou, Chen Ziming directly turned them into slaves, or the nobles and people who didn't know how to advance or retreat in Sanhan and Goguryeo, Chen Ziming didn't want them to continue to survive.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Chen Ziming knows this better than anyone else. It is normal for Lu Village to be so defensive. Chen Ziming believes that the situation in other villages in Fuzhou is not much better.

"Are there ordinary people in the village?" Chen Ziming asked Lu Xin with a frown. If the village is full of old men, what kind of village is it called? It is completely a military camp, which runs counter to his original idea.

"Of course, my family members and I are all in the village, but they live in a hidden place, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defense is not bad." Lu Xin immediately explained.

"Very good, how to deal with the gold mines?" Chen Ziming listened to Lu Xin's words, and he was relieved. As long as it was a real village, he would be relieved. As for the current situation, it will gradually get better, and the number of slaves is limited. , After death, there will be no resistance.

"At the end of every month, the county will send people to transport them away, and then the county will resettle them in a unified way." When Chen Ziming asked something, Lu Xin would answer Chen Ziming quickly and clearly, making Chen Ziming look at Lu Xin differently, and at the same time secretly proud of himself, really As expected of the soldiers he brought out, the quality is high.

But soon, Chen Ziming couldn't laugh anymore, because a table of food was placed in front of Chen Ziming and others, which made Chen Ziming very angry and sad.

"Do you usually eat these?" Chen Ziming obviously listened to Lu Xin's orders to prepare the best food, but what was in front of them.

As for the vegetables, they are not browned leaves, but some wild vegetables and wild fruits. They look very green and environmentally friendly, but there is no oil and water at all, which can be seen from the color of the vegetables. There is not much oil in the stir-fry. .

Cai Yan and Zhen Mi also stared blankly at the food on the table, they were born in a noble family, and they had never seen food eaten by such people.

"Military commander, please calm down. This is really the best food here. Please have a good meal. I will send people to the county government office to buy exquisite food for the military advisor." Seeing Chen Ziming's anger, Lu Xin immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up." Lu Xin's performance made Chen Ziming feel extremely sore. Chen Ziming believed that Lu Xin did not deceive himself, and there was no need to deceive him. This was the best food in their daily life.

"Tell me." Chen Ziming put down his chopsticks and asked Lu Xin with a serious face, how could such food support the living? No wonder Chen Ziming saw the look of food on the faces of many people in the village, which was a symptom of malnutrition.

"Fuzhou is remote, transportation is not easy, and only naval warships can travel between mainlands..." After listening to Lu Xin's narration, Chen Ziming finally understood what was going on.

Everything is still a matter of transportation. Fuzhou is mountainous and has many natural disasters. There are few places suitable for farming, and many crops are not suitable for growing here. Therefore, the source of food in Fuzhou today still depends on the mainland.

However, the Navy's combat missions have been very heavy in recent years, and there are few warships, which simply cannot support the food consumption of nearly one million people in Fuzhou.

Therefore, the living standard of the people in Fuzhou is very poor, especially in the mainland, where there is no sea fish to catch, and the meat is very little for a month, and it is all distributed to the elderly, children and pregnant women. As for these old men, they are not qualified to eat meat at all.

"It seems that it's time to open up Fuzhou." Chen Ziming decided that after returning home, he will start to open up the matter of Fuzhou, and hand over the food problem in Fuzhou to businessmen. Those businessmen will bring the most delicious food to the people of Fuzhou, because Fuzhou has a lot of money. There is no problem at all with trading in gold.
