Wei and Jin cooks

The bandits in Haierling are very fat. Even if they are divided in half, Zhao Erlang will get a lot of loot.

When Xie Shi went to the army and saw what they brought back, he couldn't help but said: "How many rich nobles and businessmen have they robbed?"

These things are not affordable for ordinary people.

"It's a pity that their boss ran away," Zhao Erlang said, still thinking about the three rabbit nests, "They must have hidden other treasures."

Xie Shi also thought so, so he said: "As for the prisoners, let them draw portraits and send documents to the sea. If they catch the people, they will know where the other treasures are hidden. Moreover, even if they can't catch the people, they will be scared." They don’t dare to come back and cause trouble again.”

Zhao Erlang waved his hand and said to the back: "Bring the prisoners up!"

No one behind him moved. Lu Hu stepped forward and whispered: "General, you forgot, we don't want any prisoners."

Zhao Erlang was stunned and asked, "Why don't you want it?"

Lu Hu: "You didn't even ask for it. The Xiliang army took them all away, and we...we came back."

After sharing so much loot, they happily returned to the army at dawn. Why did they still want to get prisoners?

Xie Shi rubbed his forehead and asked, "How many prisoners are there?"

Lu Hu glanced at Zhao Erlang and whispered guiltily: "About seventy or eighty, right?"

Xie Shi looked at him coldly, "Is that seventy or eighty?"

Zhao Erlang also lowered his voice and whispered: "We haven't counted it either. It should be more than seventy or eighty..."

Zhao Erlang's voice gradually disappeared.

Xie Shi waved over a logistics clerk and said: "Draft a document and go to Luoyang in person for two thousand dollars to ask the Xiliang army to give us half of the prisoners."

He said to Zhao Erlang: "Guardian, prisoners are also property, and they are very important property. Not to mention the distance, the beans in the field are about to be harvested. Even if there are only forty people, how much more work can be done in a day?"

Xie Shi said earnestly: "These are all money."

Bei Gongchun had already called a painter in advance and had him draw portraits of Qiao Sheng and several other escaped bandits.

He called Zuo Du and asked him to hand out the portrait, "Let the soldiers remember that when they go out to practice, they should show off their skills. This group of people has been entrenched in Hai'erling for two or three years, and they naturally know that there are many things in this area." Taiping, it’s impossible to put all the treasures in the bandits’ den, there must be some hidden in other places.”

When Zuo Du heard this, he immediately agreed.

"When you all remember the person, give the portrait to County Magistrate Zhao and ask him to issue the sea arrest documents."

Zuo Ying was about to retreat when Bei Gongchun stopped him and said: "Let the generals come over. The families of all the soldiers have just arrived in Luoyang. Let's divide the spoils among them so that everyone can feel at ease."

Zuodu agreed happily.

Bei Gongchun also divided part of the loot out. After the merits and rewards were completed, he took the divided ones into the city to find Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Erlang knew that he had to hand over part of the loot to Zhao Hanzhang, and Bei Gongchun certainly knew it too, so Zhao Hanzhang received two pieces of loot in one day, and turned out to be... rich.

Zhao Hanzhang walked around the two boxes, and after a moment he smiled and said: "Go and call Fan Ying."

Tinghe immediately went down to invite Fan Ying.

When Fan Ying came over, Zhao Hanzhang still had a pen in her hand. She had been outside most of the day, and she only had time to deal with official documents. She used her pen to point at two big boxes in the hall and said: "This is from Haierling." Go ahead and account for the loot you brought back, select some that are difficult to sell and keep them, and sell the rest if you can, whether it's in exchange for gold and silver, or cloth and food."

Fan Ying opened the box, took a look at it, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, these things are very valuable, so it's not easy to get rid of them."

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his head and finished processing the last official document, put down his pen, stood up and walked down, sighing: "Who says it's not the case, but it doesn't matter, we are about to harvest for the summer, we can take our time, go to the warehouse first, and come back later If there are more Shu merchants and Gan merchants in Luoyang, these things will be more valuable."

"It's a pity to say that, Qingzhou is also a good place. If Gou Xi hadn't blocked our transportation, we would have made a lot of money by giving these things to the merchants in Qingzhou to take them back."

Fan Ying thought so too, and whispered: "How about we go find a way out."

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at her. Although she thought so in her heart, she still suppressed her impatience and said, "Now is not the time. At this time, we should unite and deal with the outside world together."

Fan Ying frowned and said, "But they are not of the same mind as us."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "What does it matter? As long as they don't want to comfort me, then I am willing to coexist with them and fight against foreigners first."

She lowered her eyes and said coldly: "If we really can't coexist, it's not too late to make a choice then."

The choice can be made on a temporary basis, but the preparation cannot be temporary, so the Zhao family army in Zhao Ju's hands is very important, armaments, armaments, money, money.

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help it. Seeing Fan Ying starting to take people to record things, she wrote to Zhao Zhongyu again.

If a hydraulic forging press could be made, the efficiency of the iron-making process would be greatly improved.

There are now two iron mines in Runan. When the time comes, we will find a nearby water source to build a hydraulic press...

In war, we not only look at the formation of the generals and the bravery of the soldiers, but also at the food and armament.

And now most of Zhongzhou is in her hands. There are more than three iron mines on this land, and there are more than just iron mines.

The correspondence between Luoyang and Yuncheng is particularly smooth. After all, the emperor is still the master of the world. He now relies on traffic control to direct Zhao Hanzhang and others.

So Zhao Hanzhang's letter was quickly delivered to Zhao Zhongyu.

Gou Xi knew that Zhao Hanzhang had written to Zhao Zhongyu again, but the content of the letter was unknown.

Rubbing his index finger with his thumb, he pondered for a moment and then asked: "Has Minister Zhao mentioned anything to His Majesty recently?"

"A lot of things were mentioned. I wonder what the general wants to ask?"

Gou Xi frowned and asked, "What is there?"

"Zhao Shangshu opposed recalling Liu Kun, saying that once he came back, Jin would completely lose Jinyang and Bingzhou."

Gou Xi nodded. He already knew about this and asked, "What else?"

Yan Heng raised his head and glanced at him and said: "There is also a letter to impeach Gou Chun, saying that Gou Chun was harsh on the soldiers, devoured the grain and grass, and sent troops to seize the people's wheat."

Gou Xi frowned slightly, "When did this happen?"

"In the past two days, I reported to the general that Gou Chun sent troops to plunder people's food..."

"I was asking when did Zhao Zhongyu write the letter to impeach Gou Chun?"

Yan Heng was disappointed when he heard this and said: "What happened this morning."

Zhao Hanzhang's letter arrived last night. Gou Xi lowered her eyes, what was she trying to do, attack Gou Chun and then him?

Yan Heng gave Gou Xi time to think, and then said after a while: "General, it is true that Gou Chun was greedy for soldiers' food, and it is also true that he sent troops to seize food from the people. General, please punish Gou Chun severely."

Gou Xi frowned and said: "This is Zhao Hanzhang's plan to alienate each other. Mr. Yan, now that Gou Chun is stationed at the border, how can you unsettle him and instead disturb his mind?"
