If the Zhangwu army wants to retake Yongtai County, there are only two roads to go. One is to go upstream along the stream, and the other is to walk the path of today's cavalry camp, leave Minqing County, and cross mountains and ridges. During these days, Sun Yu, in addition to strengthening the city defense, he also set up a card in Qingliang Township, twenty miles away from the north gate, to build simple fortifications. If an enemy comes to the north, he can be warned in advance or send troops from the city to block the attack.

It was not until the second day after Chen Qiba and others re-beshes Putian County that Sun Yu received the news that Qian Renjun returned to Fuzhou and immediately sent all the soldiers of the special forces camp to inquire about the enemy's movements.

To Sun Yu's surprise, Qian Renjun did not immediately attack as soon as he came back, but instead built defensive fortifications downstream. It seemed that he was not going to take back Yongtai County for the time being, but was just guarding against the Jianzhou army from entering the hinterland of Fuzhou. Another mountain road, which was connected to Minqing County, also began to build levels, basically looking across the valley from the level built by Sun Yu in Qingliang Township.

It is now late autumn, and the temperature in Fujian is still good, and the north should be very cold. All the grain has been in the warehouse for a long time. Sun Yu felt that the connection between Putian and Yongtai County should be strengthened to ensure his rule over here.

The new county magistrate of Yongtai County was transferred by Sun Yu from Quanzhou, named He Fan. He was just a eighth rank from the prefecture government office, but now he has been promoted to a county official. Although he has just been taken over here and faces the opponent's counterattack at any time, he can also get it.

"Calling the box lunch, do it. If you rest the mountain road from here to Putian, how many people will be hired, how long will it take to complete it, and how much money will it cost?" Sun Yu remembered He Fan's name once and said that. He always called it that.

"Sir, this project is too big, it depends on what level you want to build." He Fan's forehead hurts a little. This is almost two hundred miles of mountain road. Even if it is simply renovated, it is an amazing project. It is a waste of money and money.

"Soldiers can pass quickly, and it is best to be able to walk on the carriage. You can calculate it." Sun Yu didn't know much about the road construction, especially the mountain roads, which is difficult to do. The cement production is still too small now, and even if it is enough, it cannot be used in this place. This road is purely for the convenience of supporting Yongtai County.

"I'll do it. If the carriage can pass, it's enough. If you don't pursue speed, it's simpler. If the tools are complete, a team of 100 people can build half a mile a day. If there are 1,000 people, it will have to be completed forty days. Of course, it will be postponed when it rains. Each person will have to eat, drink and work every month, and it will be 2 taels of silver. After all, it's a heavy workload, and the total cost is about 3,000 taels. The cost of the tool can be about 2,000 taels, and 5,000 taels can be achieved." He Fan picked up the abacus and fiddled with it, and reported it to Sun Yu for the answer.

"Call 1,500 people, the budget is 8,000 taels, and the completion is completed in a month. Can it be done?" It was already late autumn, so I had to do it before it snowed, otherwise it would delay the spring plowing until next year.

"Sure, there is no problem. I will issue a notice now. At most, three days, and start construction immediately. Oh, sir, this tool may not be enough. Do you think the business can supply it first?" These are all mountain roads, and the road surface must be leveled. They are all big stones and tools.

"Okay, this is no problem. Go to the business bank and call their manager." Wherever Sun Yu's army drove, Jianzhou Commercial Bank must have followed up immediately. The Jianzhou Commercial Bank in Yongde County has been open for several days, and all kinds of goods are complete.

Sun Yu explained to the manager, first go to the commercial banks in other places in Quanzhou to send a batch of emergency responses, and then transport more from Jianzhou. Now Sun Yu feels more and more about setting up a center in Quanzhou. The transportation of materials coming and going is too time-consuming. The areas of Dehua County and Yongchun County are also

If there is an iron ore, it is better to allocate a group of people to the mines in Shunchang County and set up a new iron smelting base.

Qian Renjun from Fuzhou changed his mind. With his current strength, he went to attack the dangerous Yongtai County. The risk was too high. The Jianzhou Army could get military support from Putian County at any time. That would be to move the battlefield between the two sides from Jiangkou Town to Yongtai County, and the other side had a few thousand more troops. Moreover, the terrain of Yongtai County and the city walls were even more difficult than crossing the river, so there was no big grasp of this battle.

Since the existing military strength cannot be solved, I will write to the court and let the superiors decide. If this matter is spread, it will definitely make his career unfavorable, but it is better than concealing the report. After all, Fuzhou is so big, how can he stop Youyou from talking?

In early November, Zhang Wen, Hengzhou, led his troops to conquer Tanzhou, and Zhou Baoquan led the remnants to retreat to Yuezhou. Yang Shifan of Langzhou gathered more than 10,000 elite troops to go south to attack Zhang Wenbiao. The cold north wind brought heavy snow, covering up all the restless movements of the entire Chu area, waiting for the coming year. In addition to Gao Jichong from Nanping, he was originally ambitious and was about to go south to make a vote, but he could only suppress his inner throbbing.

It was not until late November that Zhao Kuangyin received a memorial from Zhou Baoquan's request to send troops. He was really sleepy and walked towards Zhao Pu's mansion immediately. This time, even his younger brother Zhao Guangyi didn't call him, he was the only one.

Zhao Pu was in the study, holding a letter from the Yue Kingdom in the south. He also had a batch of goods to Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu was always cautious about the things sent by the vassal states in the surrounding areas, for fear of being accused of treason. However, this South Vietnam was different. Not only did it not border the Song Dynasty, but their royal traditions were very excellent. No matter who occupied the Central Plains, they would kneel down and lick it, which made ordinary people embarrassed to cause trouble for them. Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to win over the South Vietnamese country. If he attacked the Southern Tang in the future and had the help of the South Vietnamese country, it would be much easier. Speaking of which, since the establishment of this South Vietnam, he had never had many foreign wars. Only when the Southern Tang destroyed Fujian, he took over Fuzhou.

"This matter is not easy to deal with." Zhao Pu opened the letter and saw that it was hoped that the Song Dynasty would put pressure on the Southern Tang court and return the Yongtai County occupied for no reason. Zhao Pu did not know much about the Jianzhou Army and Sun Yu, mainly because Jing'ansi had basically put pressure on the inside this year, and even the Song Dynasty court did not know about the death of Zhou Xingfeng of the Southern Chu.

When Zhao Kuangyin arrived at Zhao Pu's house, he was familiar with the road. It was snowing. The gate of Zhao's mansion was closed, so the door was probably going to hide. Zhao Kuangyin stood at the door, and naturally he followed him and knocked on the door.

The old man who was guarding the door of the Zhao Mansion opened the door and immediately knelt down. The emperor basically came every month, so he was naturally familiar with it.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his foot and walked in, without any awareness of being a guest. When he passed by the door, he said flat. The old man in the door naturally wanted to report, but he would not dare to leave in front of the emperor if he had a few courages.

"The people of the grass have been added to the official family!" The housekeeper of Zhao's mansion saw someone heading to the backyard, so he hurried over to see that it was the emperor on the snowy day. He was naturally more knowledgeable than those who were looking at the gate. When he knelt down on the ground, he shouted, which was a reminder to Zhao Pu in the backyard.

Zhao Pu was thinking about how to talk about this in the court, but was stunned by the butler's voice. The seven or eight boxes of goods were still piled up in the corridor in the backyard.

It was too late for Zhao Pu to hide it. He put the letter in his arms and didn't bother to sort out his clothes and hats, so he left the study. If he could block Zhao Kuangyin before he saw the money and took it to the front yard, the matter would have been over.

As soon as Zhao Pu left the study door, he knew it was too late. Zhao Kuangyin had already entered the backyard. Look

I seemed very interested when I saw the pile of boxes.

"Official family, this is not open!" Seeing Zhao Kuangyin reaching out to unbox, Zhao Pu had an idea and shouted.

"Why? Is there a treasure inside?" Zhao Kuangyin smiled. The shape of the box was obviously not from the Central Plains. Someone must have given a gift to Zhao Pu. He was hit by him. I wonder what Zhao Pu should do. The people below accepted some benefits, but as long as it was not too much, Zhao Kuangyin would not pursue it too much. There would be no fish when the water was clear, but the amount of property in the backyard was obviously beyond his ability.

"Officials, it cannot be opened. These were sent by envoys of the South Vietnamese. I wanted to refuse directly, but the man left his property and ran away. It was snowy and it was difficult to move on. So I will temporarily place it here. I will be ready to send it to Honglu Temple for inventory tomorrow. If the lid is opened, it will be impossible to explain it." Each box has seals, and once it is opened, it will never be restored. Honglu Temple is responsible for receiving diplomatic envoys. After the Honglu Temple counts, it can be used as envoys to offer the property to the state treasury. Of course, Zhao Pu had no such plan before, but now he has been knocked out, so he can only say with a grudge that it is not a good thing to live too close to the imperial city.

"Old Zhao, you have the intention. I am here. What are you afraid of? Open it all." Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, and his followers stepped forward one after another and opened all the eight-necked boxes. Zhao Pu originally wanted to say something else, but when he saw this attitude, he had to hold it back.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at each one, his eyes were almost straightened, and there were rare treasures inside. In the largest box, there were two rare ivory pieces, which were more than five feet long. If he was asked to ask a skilled craftsman to polish it carefully, how many fine products would he have to make. There were many precious corals, night pearls, pearls, dog head gold, spices, etc. in other boxes, which were all in one go. Anyway, when he was inspecting the palace before, he had never seen so many treasures. Later, he got the palace treasury, which was considered to have gained insight.

"Old Zhao, it seems that the South Vietnamese Kingdom thought that you were the ones in the Song Dynasty, and it was such a big deal." Zhao Kuangyin picked up a piece of gold with a heavy hand and bought it very heavily, probably no less than a thousand taels of gold. The value of this piece of gold with a piece of gold with a net worth of more than ten thousand taels of silver, and the South Vietnamese Kingdom is really rich.

"The official family has ruined his ministers. The people of Nanyue are despicable and dare not stand in front of the official family for fear of offense, so they want the ministers to report on their behalf." In this snowy day, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Pu's forehead, and he was suffering in his heart. The thoughts of the official family are becoming increasingly difficult to guess now.

"I have met the official family." Zhao Pu's wife Wei walked over with a food box to greet him.

"Sister-in-law, don't be too polite, please get up quickly!" Zhao Kuangyin saw Wei's clothes, and finally believed Zhao Pu's words just now.

"Sister-in-law, this box was given to you by me. In the past, my sister-in-law took care of me and Guangyi a lot and couldn't thank you." Zhao Kuangyin pointed to one of the boxes, which were worth about ten thousand taels.

"Where did this come from the official family? I can't bear it, it's too expensive." Wei was also knowledgeable. When he turned around, he saw that the pearl agate in the box was worth thousands of taels. As the only mistress in the mansion, how could the affairs in the house be hidden from her eyes and ears? This was to dispel Zhao Kuangyin's doubts.

"I can bear it, I say I can bear it, who dares to object?" Zhao Kuangyin smiled and pressed the last ray of doubts into his heart. Wei and Zhao Pu have been married for many years, so Zhao Pu must have no intention of taking it alone.
