Youzhou City, inside the smelter.

This is the newly built smelting field that Liu Yin recently ordered people, and due to the increase in manpower, it was not long before the rough coal filled the houses in a few days.

Liu Yin took Jian Yong to inspect here.

I saw miners pushing small carts, which were full of pitch-black coal and shiny.

When they entered the house, they tipped the cart over, and the coal and stone were piled on the ground.

In this bitter winter, they sweated profusely.

It turned out that they had already put on cotton clothes.

The big men with their backs and bears on their backs, wearing thick cotton clothes, although they looked a little bloated, but they could no longer suffer from the wind and cold.

A big man stopped the cart and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his eyes were full of relief.

The cotton clothes issued by the house were so warm, and coupled with his constant back and forth, his body was like a steamer, dripping with hot sweat straight down.

If it weren't for this cotton suit, not to mention working, even if you walk around outside, I'm afraid it's very reluctant.

Liu Yin and the others walked into the smelting yard and grabbed a coal stone casually.

Liu Yin's heart moved, and with a slight force, the hard coal stone in his hand turned directly into dust.

Jian Yong was shocked, but heard Liu Yin say loudly: "In the future, these oblivion stones will be processed like this, first crushed into powder, and then mixed with water to make a cylindrical shape, and a few holes must be punched in the middle, and after drying, it will be the finished honeycomb coal." "

"Honeycomb coal?what's that?" Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Jian Yong nodded respectfully.

Liu Yin nodded with satisfaction, patted the coal dust in his hand, and went out.

............

Jizhou, a large camp.

On both sides of the tent, there are seats, and the top is a big man with a tiger's back and a round waist, a tiger's beard, and a length of eight feet. This big man was dressed in a military uniform, and he was talking to the two people below, his words were fierce and his tone was indignant.

I saw a map of Youzhou hanging in front of him, and the big man was pointing on the map, and the two below were nodding or shaking their heads, or arguing fiercely, looking like they were planning something.

While the three of them were discussing fiercely, a soldier burst into the tent, saluted the other two, and then whispered a few words in the big man's ear.

When the big man heard this, his eyes flashed, and the ecstasy on his face could not be concealed, and then he suppressed the excitement in his heart, clenched his fists, and said to the two people seat: "Brother Xianyu, Brother Yan, just now the scout came to report, saying that the prince's son actually defeated Gongsun Zhan's dog thief and guarded Youzhou City!".

When the next two heard this, their faces showed a look of joy.

It turned out that these three people, two of whom were Liu Yu's old subordinates, were fresh in auxiliary and silver. And the one with a face as black as charcoal, a rough appearance, and a person who didn't look much like a Han was another leader of Wuhuan, Yan Rou.

It turns out that Wuhuan is also divided internally, and when Liu Yu was there, he mainly pacified and recovered Wuhuan people, so many Wuhuan people also surrendered to Liu Yu's banner, and this Yan Rou was the leader of this Wuhuan tribe.

I saw that Yan Rou listened, and couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, so she stood up directly.

I saw him slap the table and say: "Then what are we waiting for, immediately order the troops to pull up the camp and go to Youzhou to join the lord's son." "

His words were excited, and because he was too hard, many of the utensils on the table were slammed to the ground by him.

The general sitting opposite him was Xian Yu Yin, and there was also a faint joy on his face, and he said slowly: "Brother, what Brother Yan said is reasonable. The prince of the world has worked hard, outnumbered, must have fought with his life to block Gongsun Zhan's attack, to protect the people of Youzhou no longer trampled by the iron hooves of Gongsun Zhan, we are the old department of Lord Liu Yu, if we don't vote now, how do the world see us, what is the difference between us and beasts?".

Xian Yufu listened, nodded solemnly, and said to the officer who came to report: "Pass the order, and the army will set off immediately, aiming at Youzhou City." "

And when the officer received the order, he went out.

Xian Yufu looked at the map, only to see Youzhou, marked with blood-red handwriting the word "death", under the slight swaying of the candlelight, it was a little terrifying, Xian Yufu's eyes revealed ruthlessness, gritted steel teeth, and sneered: "Gongsun Zhan, your death time has arrived." "

In Youzhou City, in the main hall of the General's Mansion, the crowd was noisy.

It turned out that today was a big day for Liu Yin to invite the wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in the city to discuss the matter.

There are two rows of seats in the main hall, full of luxurious and wealthy merchants dressed in gorgeous clothes and embroidered clothes, and behind each person, there are some entourage. It can be seen that all of you here are famous people in Youzhou City.

At the top of the left row, a middle-aged man is sitting.

This middle-aged man wore a high blue crown, a crown decorated with gold jade and pearls, a python robe and jade belt, and a pair of official boots on his feet, each of which was inlaid with jade as big as a pigeon's egg.

This is the president of the Youzhou City Chamber of Commerce, Fang Hongji.

This Fang family is a wealthy family for generations, and the clansmen are either in business or as officials, and they are also well-known in the north of Gyeonggi.

Fang Hong gradually gave birth to a square face and wide forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, not angry and arrogant, and with the sleek and sophisticated of a businessman, there was always a shallow smile on his mouth, but at this moment, the smile on the corner of his mouth was just a way to hide his inner uneasiness.

Because he is a little flustered in his heart now.

People always have a kind of psychology that covets stability. Although he is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he has seen many ups and downs in the shopping mall for many years, and he has seen a lot of impermanence, but this does not mean that he does not like stability.

So when he learned that Youzhou City had changed hands and a young general came, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made him a little trance.

After all, as soon as Gongsun Chan left, it meant that all the connections he had been operating in Youzhou in the past four or five years had failed.

But when he heard that this Liu Yin was the son of Liu Yu, and recently saw him set up a fang market, he was both comforted and surprised.

The consolation is that this Liu Yin seems to attach great importance to business. Surprisingly, this son of the world had never heard of any talent, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took charge, he would make drastic moves, and there was a great potential for new officials to take office.

But the two people next to him didn't seem to be worried, and saw a rich businessman sitting on Fang Hong's left hand side with an obese body and a somewhat obscene appearance with a happy face, and said to the other person next to him: "This General Liu Yin Liu is really a genius who is difficult to come out of the world, originally the batch of goods in my house was worried that there was no market, and I was planning to take down a few shops, but I didn't expect him to directly set up a commercial market, allowing us to operate in a unified manner, and the shops are all free." "

"You don't know, I sent dozens of families to occupy the positions last time, and there are only ten shop positions, but the sales of these ten shops are actually more than the difference in profit from my next trip to Jiangnan. "

"Isn't this a rare good thing in the world?" said the rich merchant, giggling, but as soon as he smiled, the fat rolled around like a wave, which was very indecent.

The man next to him was a young man, I saw that he was dressed in splendid clothes, his appearance was delicate, and at a glance he knew that he was the son of a rich family, and he also replied with a smile: "Yes, yesterday I had a relative in General Liu's mansion to give me the wind, and this time he summoned us here, which is great good news." "

That Fang Hong gradually listened to the two of them, and disdainful in his heart: these people are really shallow, since ancient times, merchants are untouchables, don't look at their fine clothes and food, they will be poor and white in one day, and they will be raided by these princes and nobles.

Just after eating a little sweetness, I thought that this Liu Yin was a good person, which was too naïve.
