Xu Yi has been a little more relaxed recently. There are fewer people from the counties asking for money and food. After all, the autumn harvest will start in more than a month. This year, the weather is good in all counties, and with the construction of water conservancy, there will definitely be a good harvest.

By then, in addition to being self-sufficient, each county can also turn over grain to the state. And I just got good news today. The sown cotton is growing well. It should start picking next month. By next year, there will be enough

Seeds were spread over a large area.

This year’s task is to feed people, and next year it’s time to solve the clothing problem. Once enough cotton is available, the cost of cotton cloth can be reduced and more people can afford it. After all, cotton cloth can be used more than linen cloth.

"Sir, please help me to reply to the letter." Sun Yu saw Xu Yi gently swinging the folding fan on the recliner. The day was too comfortable, so he walked over and handed the letter to him.

"Sir, this is not an official document, and it is not within the scope of my subordinates' business." Xu Yi took the envelope and looked at it. It had the words "Brother Sun" on it. This is a private letter. He has not accepted this business for a long time. Now. Now

As Lord Sima of Jianzhou, how can I casually accept this kind of letter-writing job? It's so disrespectful.

"How did you charge when you were in Jiangning? How about I pay ten times as much?" Sun Yu sat down and took his salary. He also gave you some extra money. He was too kind to his subordinates.

.

"Chenghui, six cents for a thousand words. If it's ten times that, it's six cents for a thousand words." Xu Yi made a skillful gesture.

"Write it for ten taels of silver first." Sun Yu suddenly felt that this fee seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. It was only six cents of silver for a thousand words. It was hard to earn this money.

"Sir, are you writing a letter or a book? I can write, can you tell?" Ten taels of silver is almost 17,000 words. Who can write so many letters? That's not a big one.

Wow, do you have the patience to read it all?

"What? Do I need to dictate this letter myself?" Sun Yu was also stunned. If I could speak it out, I couldn't finish writing it myself.

"The money we charge is just for ghostwriting. If I want my subordinates to write it themselves, it won't be at this price." Xu Yi shook his folding fan. If he wanted to write with great literary talent, he would have to search for more resources, and this little money would not be enough.

"Anyway, you have to write more than the letter. If you can't write it, one month's salary will be deducted." Sun Yu was so angry when he saw his attitude. He gave you three points of color. You should open a dyeing workshop. If you don't do anything,

The ultimate trick can't cure you yet.

"Hey, my lord, you are being unreasonable. Your subordinate is a state commander, not your personal staff. You are using your power for personal gain." Xu Yi suddenly became anxious. His salary is the highest in the entire Jianzhou, one month.

He has forty taels, which is higher than people like Chen Qiba. He just bought a big house in Jianpu and borrowed a lot of money from a bank, which he has to repay every month. Besides, Li'er's belly is

As things got bigger and bigger, he also hired two maids, and the monthly expenses were also very high.

"Look who wrote it? I said he was on official duty, and he is on official duty." I can't cure you yet. Sun Yu sat down leisurely, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"I'll go, this is too much. Sir, when will you talk to this person?"

Young Master Nanping hooked up with her?" Xu Yi opened it and saw that the article was full of nonsense, but the words were beautifully worded. There were only two words in the whole article, admiration! If he hadn't known that this person was a man, he might have thought it was some girl who admired Sun Yu.

Written by a woman.

"Go away! Others admire my talent, you know? Hurry up and reply." What is hooking up? It's too ugly. You even look for a beauty, you don't even know how to admire me.

"What talent do you have, sir? Riding a sweaty horse with one hand?" Xu Yi took out a piece of paper, spread it out, dipped the brush on the inkstone, and prepared to write.

"Pfft~" Sun Yu just drank the tea in his mouth and spurted out a long gulp. Who did he learn this from?

"Don't stare at me, Zhang Daqiu said." Xu Yi is as steady as a mountain, and there is no trace of disorder on the tip of his pen. This is the foundation.

Sun Yu was so anxious. Last time he was enjoying the cool air by the canal and bragging and telling jokes, this old boy imitated him, and he became even more unruly. Why should my talents be decorated with sweat and blood? The poems are proof of that, even though I copied them.

Yes, but you have no evidence.

"Sir's writing is different. His literary talent is outstanding, as if I wrote it myself." Sun Yu took the letter and looked at it carefully. It was no worse than the letter, and his words were a little more heroic, which suited him quite well.

image.

Xu Yi shook his head. No one else in my family is as shameless as him. What do you mean by writing it with your own hand? You should write it out.

"Sir, the warehouse is almost empty. Are we really going to send out troops?" The supply camp has not been idle recently. Various supplies are divided into two lines, land and water, and are constantly being sent to Youxi.

"Wait a little longer, be prepared, and try not to afford weapons before the autumn harvest." Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, he will have enough food and grass, and it will be convenient to recruit civilians. Of course, he will pay for it. He promised not to assign corvee labor, and he will never break his promise.

"Well, it's better to do it after the autumn harvest, otherwise the people of Quanzhou will suffer." Unless the war takes place in Jianzhou, the autumn harvest will always be no problem, but Quanzhou, as the main battlefield, will be troublesome. Even if Quanzhou is captured in the end,

We also have to take into account the people's food problem.

Sun Yu put the letter away and discussed with Xu Yi. If war broke out, he would have to entrust him with all matters in Jianzhou. Especially the matter of mobilizing the people and transporting grain and grass, which could not be delayed for a moment.

"Sir, sir, urgent report!" Yang Qifeng couldn't wait for the soldiers at the door to report, and rushed in directly.

"What's the matter?" Sun Yu was surprised. It should be something related to Quanzhou, otherwise why would Yang Qifeng be like this?

"Quanzhou, news just came that the King of Jinjiang may not be able to survive." Yang Qifeng gasped and said, after receiving the news, he ran all the way over.

"Is the news conclusive?" Sun Yu calmed down and finally came.

"It should be correct that the people in Quanzhou urgently mobilized the people to rush to repair the royal tomb." The location of the tomb of King Jinjiang was chosen last year and has been under construction. At this time, it was not taboo for the big shots to build tombs during their lifetimes. It was normal.

For someone with the status of King Jinjiang, it is normal for the tomb to be built for three to five years. However, recently a large number of civilians were suddenly recruited to work day and night, so something must have happened.

"The order goes down, Youxi, the checkpoint leading to the south from Shaxian County, from now on, except for those who hold the warrant of the governor's office,

Soldiers from the special battalion are not allowed to come in or go out. Arrange your manpower and set up hidden cards on each road along the way to ensure that no one reaches Zhangzhou and Quanzhou." Sun Yu stood up and gave the order to detour to other places except these two roads.

In the past, it would take more than a month. Even if the news had spread by then, it would no longer matter.

"I humbly accept the order!" Yang Qifeng accepted the order, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

"Sir, we are going to work together on a big event." Sun Yu patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, his face a little heavy. No matter how much preparation he had made, this matter was so difficult that it would not be an exaggeration to call it a snake swallowing an elephant.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm willing to die for you!" Xu Yi had a serious look on his face. It's okay to make some jokes on weekdays. This is related to the future of Jianzhou and you, so you can't be careless.

"Be sure not to cause trouble and ensure timely supply of food and grass. I'll go to the military camp first." Sun Yu patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, turned around and walked outside. He had to start moving.

Sun Yu first found Chen Qiba and asked him to go home and talk to General Chen Decheng first. If there was a problem in Jianzhou, he expected him to help. Moreover, if there was any abnormal movement in South Vietnam, he could also contain it.

One or two, let yourself devote yourself fully to the battle in Quanzhou.

"Sir, aren't you coming with me?" Chen Qiba scratched his head. He hadn't told his family about Qiao Niang yet, and he was still thinking about Sun Yu going to help him with the thunder.

"I won't let you go this time. Help me, my uncle, and my aunt take care of things. Just tell me what I arranged for Qiao Niang, and apologize to them later." Sun Yu knew what Chen Qiba was worried about, so he gave it to him first.

It’s a reassurance that if I’m not here anyway, if you keep putting the blame on me, you will definitely not be able to go this time.

"That's done, I'll set off right now." Chen Qiba was happy, this must be good, he just wanted to take the blame, and he immediately ordered a group of soldiers to go with him.

In the large tent of the military camp, Sun Yu called over a group of senior generals, namely Cheng Zhenbei, Bai Yong, Zheng Tu, Zhang Daqiu and Sun Sandao. As for the cavalry camp, they set off last and were led by Sun Yu himself.

"The war is approaching, everyone, success or failure depends on this!" Sun Yu explained the current situation and raised his glass. This was the first time he drank in the military camp.

"Please give me your order!" The generals drank their glasses full of wine and knelt down on one knee to ask for orders.

"Okay, Cheng Zhenbei will receive the order! You can take a group and set off early tomorrow morning to wait for orders at Dajianfeng." That is the southernmost tip of Jianzhou, and five miles away is the territory of Dehua County in Quanzhou.

"I humbly accept the order!" Cheng Zhenbei stood up to receive the order.

"Bai Yong, Zheng Tu, you will lead three and four regiments to station in Youxi County in three days and wait for orders!"

"I accept the order from my humble duty!"

"Sun Sandao, the baggage camp will set off in seven days with the second regiment and the cavalry battalion."

"I accept the order from my humble duty!"

"Zhang Daqiu, the law enforcement battalion will arrive at Youxi first with the second and third regiments. They must not disturb the place and are stationed outside the city."

"I accept the order from my humble duty!"

"Kill pigs and sheep tonight to reward the three armies!" Sun Yu's rule is that before a battle, the soldiers must be given a good meal to boost their morale.
