I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 44 Puzhou, how dare you attack our Youzhou City

"That's right, although culture is important, we must also innovate, otherwise there will be no progress."

Qin Mu nodded, "I'll talk about this matter later, you came to me not just because of this, right?"

"Your Majesty, we still need your advice on the military loan issue."

Wang Shanhe asked respectfully, and put the arithmetic paper into his sleeve casually, "The military settlement requires 300 million taels, divided into daily expenses, armament production, and expansion of the cement workshop."

"Well, you decide on this issue yourself. My suggestion to you is that the cement workshop should be independent. It doesn't have to be controlled by the military. The bank can arrange people to produce it and then sell it to them!"

"Is it right for this businessman to pursue profit?"

"So, you need to find the right person."

The words have been made very clear. If Wang Shanhe still can't make achievements, then there is no need for the president to do so.

A month passed quickly.

The entire Lingzhou City has taken on a new look, and the floating population has also doubled. There are even merchants from Shandong and other places coming from afar.

On the street, notices are posted everywhere, not for the government to arrest people or something.

Rather, a shortage of workers!
"Old man, your son looks so young and is very suitable for sales. How about giving fifty sons a month, and there is an extra share, including food and lodging?"

Sales, which is also a recent name, is a profession.

It was first reported by the bank that a large number of merchants found opportunities and sold them in batches, and the salesperson was the representative of the business.

"There are so many?" The old man was shocked.

In the past, fifty elders a month would not have dared to think about it.

That boy, who was originally an "accounter", that is, in charge of second-hand housing transactions, now seized the opportunity to engage in worker recruitment.

If you recruit a person, you will be paid [-] Wen, and if you work for a month, you will be given [-] Wen. If you calculate it before and after, you will be paid [-] Wen.

This business is definitely profitable, and it has not been invested yet!
"Old man, don't worry, this Lingzhou city is under the control of the virtuous king, who dares to mess around."

"Hmph, I'm going to be a soldier, some kind of worker."

Before the old man could speak, the young people beside him were not happy.

Looking at the posture, the boy felt confused, "Young man, you really don't know the hardships of being a soldier. Your blood is spilled on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if you die. What about your grandfather, what about your father and mother? ?”

"The military is paid for it."

"Hey, what is the money enough for? Listen to me, you're right. Go to the mine and work, and you'll be paid [-] a day, and [-] in three months. You'll still have a chance to get promoted. consider?"

"me."

The young man was dumbfounded for a moment, never expecting to make so much money, looking at the grandfather next to him, he was very troubled.

"Hey, old man, it's a hot day, let's go and treat you to a cup of herbal tea."

The young man was very good at coming and going, once he came and went, the young man agreed, and signed the agreement without saying anything, and he couldn't go back on his word or he would be arrested by the government.

"Remember, we will still gather here tomorrow and take you there."

Things like this happened in various places in five states.

Among them, building roads, digging mines, and digging canals are the most labor-intensive and labor-intensive.

Just because the wages are high, so many people go there.

Lingzhou City has shown strong economic vitality.

Qin Mu was very happy about this, as he treated his own child, growing up step by step.

Ding!
[Random task trigger: Control Puzhou, kill the governor Yang Fu! 】

Suddenly, a long-lost system sound came from my mind.

It's just that he was a little strange, he didn't plan to send troops at all in the near future, why did he trigger the mission?

After much deliberation, there is only one possibility.
Puzhou is located in the middle of Guannei Road and Hedong Road, and also borders Youzhou, and it is the central area between the two roads.

Once won, attacking Chang'an can be said to be the general trend.

From this point of view, the system may be forcing itself to speed up?
"Come on!"

A scale armor soldier ran in immediately, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Immediately let the spies in Pucheng start operations to investigate the situation in the state, especially Yang Fu, to find out the distribution of troops, food and grass, etc."

"Yes!"

Pucheng was originally the target he wanted to attack.

So, the eyeliner was arranged a few months ago, and it has just been left untouched, in case it is exposed.

Unexpectedly, a piece of news detonated the whole city!
Youzhou was actively attacked by Puzhou!

Qin Mu never thought that Yang Fu would be so confident that he dared to attack our Youzhou.

As soon as they arrived in Youzhou, they saw a fire soaring into the sky, and the city was in chaos.

Yue Fei ran over in a hurry, with blood on his face, obviously from the fight he had just experienced.

"My lord, there are more than 1 people in Puzhou's army, most of them are disguised civilians who sneaked into Youzhou, assassinated and burned them secretly!"

"There are more than 1 people, and Yang Fu's entire Puzhou defenders are probably only more than 2. How dare they be so presumptuous!"

Qin Mu was furious, "Prepare for battle! Fight immediately! Protect the people and retreat, arrest the assassins in the city!"

"Yes!"

Yue Fei didn't have time to say anything more, he rushed to the border of Youzhou City with his soldiers and horses, and the eight thousand cavalry swore to die.

"Kill! The people are behind you, and your family is also in the city. Drive these invaders out!"

The mentality of soldiers in Youzhou City is completely different from other places.

They joined the army not to get promoted and get rich, but to defend their homes.

This is also the purpose of the army!

In just over half an hour, there was a sea of ​​corpses and blood on the ground, and the soldiers on the Pucheng side seemed to have no fighting spirit.

The retreat began, but it was very orderly, not the kind of fleeing.

While walking, he fired crossbows and killed many Youzhou soldiers!

Seeing this, Yue Fei thought of a possibility.
"The whole army is on guard, and the shield soldiers are defending. The opponent is harassing and not really attacking. Wang Er immediately leads people to the city to guard against death. The enemy will definitely attack the granary and other places!"

"Yes!"

This person named Wang Er is actually called Wang Ergou, and his name is somewhat indecent, so everyone calls him Wang Er.

As soon as I led people to the gate of the city, I saw fires ignited in four different directions!
"Too bad, the granary was burned, and the virtuous king is still inside, hurry up! Call someone!"

"Extinguishing!"

There were thousands of people, and the water dragons in the city were not enough. Soldiers even used horses and mules to carry buckets filled with water to put out the fire.

At this moment, Qin Mu was not in the city at all, but in the grass on the right side of the pipeline at the border.

Behind them, there are [-] scale armor soldiers, without horses, but with matchlock guns and crossbows!

If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.

"Retreat, withdraw immediately! Youzhou City has been tricked!"

"Sure enough, Lord Inspector is right, this Youzhou City is just too arrogant!"

"Do you really think that Qin Mu can reach Chang'an? I can't make it through Pucheng!"

A group of generals rode horses, followed by thousands of people.
