Chapter 86 Advice
"Taoist Master, run quickly! The city cannot be defended!"
The dilapidated city could no longer hold on and collapsed for a section. Then the officials happily entered Danzhou City.
In the newly built Taoist temple in the city, Taoist Xu was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed and muttering something unknown.
"Ashes return to ashes, soil returns to soil, the cause of what was done yesterday is the result today, the Liao people invaded Danzhou City, it is the cycle of cause and effect!" Taoist Xu said calmly:
"Of course we need to bear the sins we committed today!"
"Those group of officials have no respect for the king's laws and no ethics at all. How can they be human beings? Don't lose sight of the truth because of this, Taoist Master!"
"Having said that, we are born as human beings, and God has the virtue of living well. In the eyes of all living beings, there is no difference between Han'er and Liaoren!" Hearing this familiar voice, Daochang Xu opened his eyes and looked back. Although it was
That familiar figure.
"Li Langjun, I haven't seen you for many days, but you are still so articulate!"
"The Taoist Master's words are still so profound and his ideas are so unique!" Li Jia clapped his hands and knocked on the stubborn Taoist priest in front of him. He sighed helplessly in his heart, but said lightly with a smile on his face.
"How late you are!" Xu Daochang shook his head and let out a long sigh, the expression on his face was thought-provoking.
"It's not too late, it's just right!" Li Jia shook the boots under his feet, patted his sleeves again, glanced at the little blood stains on his clothes, and the smile on his face was particularly bright.
"Why doesn't the Taoist priest leave? Don't you know that officials are inhumane, and Taoist priests are no exception!"
"Bah bang bang—" Daochang Xu clapped his hands and sighed:
"I knew your husband would come, how could he leave?"
"Danzhou is of great importance. How can Langjun give up after having been in business for several months? Danzhou has no worries, so Pindao naturally doesn't need to leave!"
"The Taoist master is as awesome as ever!" Li Jia sighed. It was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and his guess was really accurate.
"Mr. Lang is as awesome as ever!" Taoist Xu kept smiling, feeling a little unfathomable.
"Let's go, you Taoist priests like to play tricks. Remember, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties this time. The Taoist priest will have to trouble you!" Waving his hand, Li Jia turned away without hesitation, like a gust of wind, leaving no one behind.
Leave some traces.
"The wolf is ambitious and has great plans. What my uncle said is true!" Seeing Li Langjun leave, Taoist Xu sighed deeply. What his uncle said still kept emerging in his heart.
"But, Uncle Master, the Daizong lineage has been in decline for many years, and it has just cheered up a little today. If it doesn't continue, the demise of the Daizong is not far away!" It's not like he hasn't seen those in the Daizong these days.
The disciples, who followed the army, naturally knew everything about the army. The disciples also put forward a lot of opinions, but he ignored them.
Then I looked at this tall and spectacular Taoist temple. It was even more majestic than the ones in Panyu and Yongzhou. There were dozens of Taoist boys recruited, and the number was hundreds when those from Yongzhou and Qiongzhou were included.
Although he is pure and has few desires, who can give up these things? Gods also need incense.
As for corpses everywhere outside the city and rivers of blood, just recite more rebirth mantras!
"How is it? How many brothers were killed or injured this time?"
Li Wei didn't know when, his arms were covered with stab wounds and his face looked tired. But when he met Lang Jun, he was extremely happy, forgetting the physical pain, and said excitedly:
"Although there are many people this time, they don't have many weapons or armor. The people are evacuated, so the brothers naturally have no scruples. The total number of dead and injured brothers is only more than 200!"
"Oh, the damage is not small!!" Li Jiaming knew that he had to go through battles again and again to gain elite soldiers, but he invested too much and every loss made him heartbroken.
Investing in each soldier, almost ten strings.
"Fortunately, Mr. Lang came to his aid in time. Under attack from both front and rear, the troops were naturally routed and captured thousands of prisoners. There were countless others who escaped and it's hard to count!" Li Wei said happily.
"After this battle, all the young men and women in hundreds of miles around have been destroyed. It is even more necessary to strike while the iron is hot and catch them all in one fell swoop. Once the evil has been eradicated, the spring breeze will bring new life!"
Li Jia seemed to be talking about something too small, and his tone was extremely calm.
"Yes!" Li Wei was stunned for a moment and immediately agreed.
"What's going on with this iron mine? What does it look like specifically?" Li Jia continued to ask.
"Reporting to Sir, this mine is a large open-pit mine, which is very convenient for harvesting. The daily output is tens of thousands of kilograms of iron stone. If the manpower is available in time, it will be easy to double the amount."
Behind him, a short Taoist priest, a middle-aged man wearing a veil and exuding a cold, earthy smell, always held a compass in his hand and reported in a deep voice.
"In addition, we also discovered several small copper mines in Danzhou, which are not very convenient to mine!"
"The unloading of the ridge has been completed well, and the rewards will be distributed as expected!" The copper mine is not important, this open-pit iron mine is the most important. If Li Jia's guess is correct, this is the famous Shilu Iron Mine in later generations.
It is a world-famous rich mine.
"Thank you, Sir!" Taoist Miaoshi was naturally overjoyed and thanked him quickly.
"Mr. Wang, the benefits of iron tools are obvious. Now that iron ore is available, we should organize blast furnaces to make iron as soon as possible! It is better to wait for the furnace than to wait for the furnace!"
Looking at Mr. Wang Ningwang with a solemn expression, Li Jia was a little confused and said with a smile.
"Of course, of course!" Wang Ning also came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Although there is a shortage of blacksmiths, at least there is a supply of copper mines. It is easy to hire a few blacksmiths from Panyu or Qiongzhou. You just need to charge a little more!"
"Mr. Lang——"
"Mr. Wang, please tell me something. There is no need to be so open to me!" Seeing that Wang Ning had something on his mind, Li Jia stopped, looked directly at him, and asked.
"Although Liao people are guilty, their crimes are not worthy of death. Killing too many people will harm the harmony of heaven and earth."
"Why don't you, Sir, educate his people and organize households to bring order to the people? This can be regarded as a good deed!"
"Since your husband is persuading you, Li Jia is also Meng Lang, and reorganizing households is a good way to improve the people's well-being. Just do what your husband said, do you hear me?" Li Jia turned around and glared at Li Wei and said.
"I know, I know!" Li Wei nodded repeatedly, as if pounding garlic.
"It's good that your husband is good at accepting advice and has a broad mind, which is the talent of dragons and tigers!" Wang Ning touched his beard, and his suggestions were adopted, which gave him a different kind of pleasure. This feeling was too comfortable, and the monarch and his ministers were harmonious.
Ming, I guess that’s just the case!
"Miao Zan, Miao Zan!" He waved his hands repeatedly. Even though he was very happy in his heart, Li Jia still looked like he refused. This is the demeanor that a gentleman should have.
"On behalf of the thousands of households in Danzhou, I would like to thank Mr. Lang for his great kindness!"
