Chapter 327 Way to Putian

"As generals, of course we must expand our territory to repay our kindness!" Sun Yu bowed to the north, which was a respect for the king.

"It's just that King Han has suffered. It's time to arrive in Kaifeng." Eunuch Gao is An Jinhai's confidant, so he naturally tends to King Han. He was also unhappy when King Han left.

"I have heard a little about the matter of King Han, but the Song Dynasty is in great power, so we have to compromise." Sun Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. When King Han left, he lost his support in the court. The Grand Tutor Zhou Zong had already been idle at home, and now the queen is no longer there. He is by the side of the king, and only the line of An Jinhai is left.

"Dude, do you say that King Han has gone to the north, who dares..." Eunuch Gao said halfway, but he couldn't bear to continue talking, hoping that he would not have any worries about his life.

"As long as the king of the country is in power and the Song Dynasty does not intend to go south immediately, the King of Han will be fine." Sun Yu understood very clearly that in the short term, the Song Dynasty's edge will mainly target Nan Chu, and that is where he loses his majesty, and he must stand up again there.

Before cleaning up Southern Chu, the Song Dynasty would never do anything to King Han, and add variables in vain.

"How has Eunuch An recently?" Sun Yu picked up a piece of fish. Fuzhou is leaning against the Minjiang River, and Jiangxian is pretty good.

The matter of King Han going to the Song Dynasty was pros and cons for Sun Yu. Although King Han was a helping force, he also kept a close eye on Sun Yu. I remember that when he was in Jiangning, he showed Sun Yu a clear look.

"Not very good. Now Xiao Yi is too arrogant. With the support of Concubine Xie inside and the Prince of Jiang as his aid, Eunuch An is helpless." Eunuch Gao shook his head. There should be other forces behind the Prince of Jiang. Eunuch An is now seeing that the situation is not good, so he has tried his best to avoid Xiao Yi's edge.

"It's okay, go back and say to Eunuch An, "Mr. Sun, I, will protect him from his life. One day, I can come to Quanzhou to retire directly." Sun Yu is now in a strong army, not to mention Xiao Yi, even the king of the country has to give him three points of face.

An Jinhai is the only one who once helped him selflessly, and he was grateful to him.

"This, if one day our family comes here to support our elder brother An, I wonder if the Duke can take it in?" Eunuch Gao stood up and gave a gift to the end. Who doesn't want a way out?

"Of course, as long as you have not committed a sin, your Majesty must be killed quickly, Sun can definitely take it in. Xiao Yi and others are just pretending to be powerful, so they dare not take it seriously." Sun Yu shook his head. These people were tied to the king and took advantage of the situation. He held military power in his hands, and as long as he did not rebel, no one could do anything about it.

"Then let our family thank the Duke of the State first. Go back later and go through Quanzhou to see the house. Quanzhou is a good place. It is as warm as spring. It is a good place for retirement." Eunuch Gao felt that he might as well leave a way out in Quanzhou first, so that he would have a place to go in the future. All his savings are left with him. If something happens, he may not be able to save it.

"If my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, he might as well ask Jianzhou Trading Company to help him with this matter, and he can always help him choose a satisfactory residence." Sun Yu felt that Eunuch Gao had to go back to Jiangning to report his life. How could he buy a suitable residence in a hurry?

"Then I'm thankful for the Duke of the State. I've bought the house and I'll send the money to the branch in Jiangning." Eunuch Gao came out and didn't bring much money. If this house was comfortable, it would definitely not be cheap.

......

A few days later, there was a large area of ​​snow falling in Hangzhou and the logistics was completely cut off. Luo Jixing had to bring a large army to continue retreating. Sun Yu, who received the news, began to mobilize his troops to garrison in various places. The war in Fuzhou will not continue until the spring of the following year.

Jian, Zhang and Quan have raised three totals

150,000 taels, Sun Yu borrowed 350,000 taels from the bank in the name of Zhongyong Army, and the remaining silver was released from the share that Zhongyong Army deserved, and finally solved the soldiers' rewards and pensions.

As for military pay, I can only pay 60% of the remaining pay. The rest will have to be compensated until I have a better amount next year.

Sun Yu rode on the fire and stepped onto the bridge above the Minjiang River for the first time. The wide bridge deck and the solid railings on both sides gave people a sense of security.

"Mr. Marquis, you said that if there was a bridge over there, we could ride a horse and go directly to Quanzhou." The evil dog stood on the bridge and pointed to the mainstream of the Minjiang River ahead and said.

"Don't think about it for the time being." Sun Yu shook his head. With the current construction team, if you want to continue to increase the length of the bridge, the problem is not big. The main problem of water depth needs to be solved. If you want to build a bridge there, the cement columns will be twice as high. Compared with the water construction platform, etc., all need to be equipped. There are too many problems to be solved here.

Moreover, the water flow here is even faster, especially during the flood season, the bridge accidentally sank into the bottom of the river.

Although this road is still 100,800 miles away from the road that Sun Yu asked for, it has only repaired and consolidated the road surface, but it has also increased the speed a lot. However, it took more than half a day to arrive from Fuzhou to Putian. If you don’t spare any horsepower and change your horses all the way, you can reach Quanzhou that day.

Now the new Putian County Magistrate is the one who taught the lenigo to read before, with his surname Liu and his name Chang. Because of his diligence, he was appreciated by Xu Yi and was recommended as the acting county magistrate of Putian. Although he did not make great achievements during his reign, he could barely get the middle and upper-level assessment and successfully became a regular.

Nowadays, the biggest thing in Putian County is to complete the roadbed of Chidao. What Liu Chang has to do every day is to handle government affairs in the yamen, and to stare at Chidao and see if the officials below are doing their work with their hearts.

As soon as he left the city gate, he happened to meet Sun Yu and his party. Liu Chang quickly stopped the carriage and hurriedly got out of the carriage to salute.

"Yes, the progress of the construction of the Chidao exceeded expectations, so continue to work hard." Sun Yu dismounted. The Chidao along the way was in full swing. He saw it all, and Liu Chang had also done a lot of work.

"This is what my subordinates should do. The Duke of the State is so negligent. Now I will go to the city to prepare for a banquet." Liu Chang did not get the news in advance, and was preparing to inspect the construction site outside the city.

"It's okay, I will solve the problem. Just do your own thing." Sun Yu didn't care whether there was anyone to receive him, just do your job well.

"How can this be? The Duke of the State is rarely coming here. The subordinates should do their best." After Liu Chang said that, he walked quickly into the city. This is a rare opportunity. He has to have a good contact with the Duke of the State.

Putian County was originally Zhang Hansi's base camp, but it was well managed and had a good foundation. Later, the Zhongyong Army attacked this place and did not cause damage to the city. Now the city is peaceful.

It was already past mealtime, and Liu Chang took Sun Yu directly to the largest restaurant in the city. The shopkeeper who was already preparing to rest saw this attitude and hurried to the kitchen to give instructions. The entire restaurant suddenly became busy.

"Mr. Grandpa, let's go to the second floor with elegant seat?" Liu Chang made an act to ask Sun Yu to go upstairs.

"No, it's good to be in this lobby." Sun Yu was about to finish his meal here and continue on the road. There was no need to go upstairs, just eat some with his brothers in the lobby.

"Dude, I heard that I, Putian County, will be stationed in 10,000 people?" Liu Chang has been worried about this recently. Although Putian is considered rich, it is a small county town after all. There are so many people stationed there, for fear of chaos.

"Well, they will build camps outside the city and don't usually go to the city." Sun Yu pointed

Head, he knew Liu Chang's worries. The officials in this place have always been inconsistent with the powerful generals in the army. If all of them settled in the city, Liu Chang would probably have a split headache.

"This is fine. Do I need to provide any supplies for my Putian County?" Liu Chang's heart was halfway through, but he was afraid that the army would ask for it all day long.

"You only need to provide the place. Everything in the army needs is uniformly supplied by the baggage regiment, which is not in line with the place in principle. However, it is not ruled out that there are other needs in the army, but you will buy it with money." The money and grain of each regiment were allocated by the Loyal and Brave Army. Now, except for the Second Regiment, other regiments are stationed in the Chidao County from Fuzhou to Zhangzhou planned by Sun Yu, in order to reduce the transportation cost of materials.

After hearing this, Liu Chang, who had already had some resistance to the large-scale garrison, suddenly smiled. These loyal and brave soldiers were all rich people. If there were more than 10,000 people to spend near Putian, even if they could go out for camp on holidays, it would be an incredible source of wealth.

"Is money and food shortage in the county now?" Sun Yu picked up the chopsticks, stewed the fish head that he had just brought up, and picked up a piece of it and put it in his mouth.

I have collected too much money and food before, and now I have to carry out construction of the road here, which must be a bit tight.

"It's okay. Now it's slack farming, so it's not much money to hire a private servant. But if we continue next spring, the expenses will be much greater." Although Liu Chang was not a capable official, he was quite diligent, and the tricks here had long been estimated.

Now it is a slack farmer. If you hire a private servant, you can only pay ten cents a day. Some people are willing to come and bring their own tools. But once you have farm work to do, you won’t be able to invite anyone even if you want to do ten cents or fifty cents.

"The above has not yet officially notified the matter of Chidao. It is only started during the slack farming period. We must not miss the farming period." Sun Yu thought of this and felt that he should still leave a formal document. Now that the food shortage is serious under the rule, he pointed to next year. He must not delay the farming period because Chidao.

"If this is the case, there is no big problem." Liu Chang expressed that even if there is some deficit, he only needs to reduce some expenses and fill it after the autumn harvest.

Just as Sun Yu was halfway through the meal, he suddenly started to make a noise outside. He couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and looked outside. With his ears, he naturally understood the reason.

"My little lady, I, Master Li, like you. That's a blessing you have cultivated in your lifetime. Don't you know what you are like." A man carried a sword and a few followers and stopped a young woman in the street.

"Bah, I'm shameless, I want to go home, let go!" The woman was a little bit arrogant and cursed directly.

"Yoyo, so exciting? Why don't I go back with you?" Mr. Li approached and smelled it. It smelled a little fragrant, and said in a very intoxicating way.

"My man is at home, and you will definitely break your legs when you go." After the woman said that, she was about to walk over from the side, just thinking that she had met a few drunks.

However, Young Master Li refused to give in and directly dragged the woman to his arms. The followers beside him started to cheer and drove away everyone around him who pointed at him.

Sun Yu didn't plan to interfere, but just thought the other party was just talking, but he didn't expect to start fighting.

"Mr. Li, what are you doing? Will you be able to rob a girl in broad daylight?" Liu Chang felt that the person surnamed Li was slapping him in the face. If he didn't show up, he might not be able to be his parents.

"Oh, who do I think I am? Isn't this our parents, Lord Liu. I'm having nothing to do and looking for some fun, why does Lord Liu want to get a share of the pie?" Mr. Li was not afraid at all, but instead made fun of him and even touched the woman's hand.
