Like Xu Du, Wang Hou also appointed Sun Tai and Wu Xian as mining supervisors, but Sun Tai was responsible for cutting trees and Wu Xian was responsible for digging coal. Including his men's men's men and tenant farmers, Wang Hou had about 60,000 people, and a small half of the entire Taishan County was in his hands.

The only embarrassing thing is that Wu Xian's son was the one who was not convinced when he stretched his muscles today and went to challenge his teammates. He was beaten to the boy, and he hugged his baby son with a blue nose and a swollen face. He clasped his fists there and "thanks" Wu Xian for taking care of Wang Hou. His bearded face was a little stiff.

Fortunately, this guy is not just this son, but he is just an excuse to redeem his son with a coal mine.

After a delicious meal, Wang Hou did not let the two of them leave any hostages, but instead gave them a lot of silk brocades they had got from Langya County, and sent them to their joy and go wherever they went.

Early in the morning, he followed Wang Hou out to see him off, watching the two of them leave Longma Village with a large group of people. Once again, Jia Xu had an old face as if someone owed him more than 80 taels of silver.

"Dongweng is so kind-hearted! These Taishan bandits are capricious. In Guanzhong dialect, they are mothers! Now Dongwen has wiped out the four-sided mountain villages, and the military power has come. These people have just surrendered. Dongweng should take this opportunity to recruit their troops, and at least let them leave the hostages. The young master of the family is letting them go like this. If they let them go like this, in the future, if anyone of Changxi, Zangba or Yin Li returns to Taishan County, it will easily cause recurrence!"

“Don’t you leave one?”

Looking at the boy who was bruised and swollen from the bottom, waving goodbye to Wu Xian, and was still dissatisfied with his forehead, Jia Xu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again.

"Wenhe, what do you think is loyalty?"

"There is a difference between the top and the bottom, the high and the low are orderly, and the minister is loyal to the king!"

"Take it down! I think loyalty is a constant benefit! I am loyal to the king because in this framework, the family of ministers can be exchanged for a lofty position, vast fields and glory and wealth. I am loyal to Prime Minister Cao, because the Prime Minister married me the second daughter and granted me the official position of land. Mr. Wenhe is now under me. On the one hand, I tied Mr. Wenhe to this boat, and on the other hand, I, Wang, have some luck, and I have the opportunity to rise with me, right? "

Jia Xu was choked again, and Wang Hou said nothing, but he said it too nakedly. He tore off all the gorgeous words Confucianism used to cover up this kind of exchange of interests and threw them aside, making Jia Xu particularly uncomfortable, but he had nothing to refute.

On the contrary, Wang Hou stood on the wall confidently with his hands behind his back, watching the departure of Mount Tai below, full of arrogant smiles.

"These iron! The coal in the mountains and these big trees are worthless in their hands, and they are no different from the stones under their feet. However, in my hands, they can turn into food, cloth, and wealth. I share half of their interests for each person. With these, they will no longer need to compete for the pitiful survival resources and live a very nourishing life. Without me, they will have to go back and starve and freeze. Even if they don't want them to be the only one, how can they be unfaithful to me?"

Not to mention, this turtle-god aura made Wang Hou full of success. Unfortunately, he was not shocked by Jia Dushi and bowed his head, but Jia Xu pulled out the account book from his pocket with his old face and recited it seriously.

"If Dongweng really has the ability to turn these things into food, then change them quickly! The 100,000 stones of corn brought by Langya now only has more than 20,000 stones left. If there is no new grain in the warehouse, it may not be able to survive this winter!"

"Uh..., is that little left?"

In an instant, he lost all his image. He grabbed his hair and Wang Hou was so painful that he was like Grandet, yelling sadly.

"These pig heads are so edible!"

"You are too generous when you take action!"

…………

Things went in the direction that Wang Hou wanted. Even if Wang Hou did not let the two big thief leaders Wu Xian and Sun Tai leave any hostages, they did not take the opportunity to exploit their army. However, they are still in the deterrence period of Wang Hou. The two of them returned to their own village for more than 20 days. Five hundred cars of coal and more than a thousand giant trees in the mountains were pulled to the foot of Longma Village.

However, due to the fact that the "liquid capital chain" is now a bit broken, Boss Wang, who is generous in his actions, has to write an IOU.

God favored Wang Hou. The reason why he captured this Longma Village as a stronghold was because it was not far from Pingyang, and near Kaiyang, close to Yishui. Yishui could flow downstream to Yangdu of Langya Kingdom. Near Yangdu, Yishui converged with the Haihe River. From here to the east is Ju County occupied by Zangba.

There was a busy scene everywhere on the river beach. The giant trees from Mount Tai sent by Sun Tai were tied together with ropes and formed into rafts. Then, during this period, the coal mines and iron ore harvested from Mount Tai, and many tiger skins, deer skins and wild boar skins hunted in the mountains were transported to the rafts by Wang Hou.

This time, Wang Hou also led two 800 troops and reserve troops south of the country with 3,000 troops. Originally, Wang Hou planned to let Jia Xu stay in the village, but the old guy said he would follow him no matter what. He wanted to see how Wang Hou turned these iron ore, coal and wood into food. There was no way, Wang Hou had to entrust the important task of staying behind to Zhuge Lie, the civil minister who had just surrendered, and Zhao Yun, the military general who had just surrendered to take charge.

"After I set off, the village will continue to repair the walls and dig iron. Lao Zhao, you will continue to train troops! Don't start the battle easily, but if someone dares to come to the door, you will cut it to death, don't be ruthless!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

This was the first time he was trusted. Zhuge Lie was excited to be like a young man who had just started working, holding his fists and bowing heavily. As for the old fried dough stick, Zhao Yun, he was a little lazy and answered like he hadn't woken up, which made Wang Hou glar at him in anger.

But immediately, his eyes became gentle again, and he looked at the back. In Wang Hou's eyes, Lu Ji gently held her skirt and bowed lightly.

This was also considered a check and balance of power. The civil and military division was divided, and the wife decided the major matters. However, this time, he threw Lu Ji down and guarded the house. During the farewell of his subordinates, he boarded the raft while the river was not frozen. Then Wang Hou stared at Cao Xiaoniu next to him again.

"Look at others, be more aware of the general situation! You are so willful and have to follow you!"

Cao Hongjie is much more feminine now. He has a lot of deep clothes and long skirt with his hands standing beside a pile of goods. When Wang Hou's questioning, the girl rolled her eyes a lot.

"That's because Sister Lu knew that she couldn't bear to see you, so I just came to see you. Besides, without this lady covering you, can you live so well and lively?"

"Tsk! I am a dignified governor of Qingzhou! Marquis of Duting! I also want you, a little girl, to protect you! You are not afraid...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah!"

It was really impossible to say too much. Before he finished speaking a magical word, the raft under Wang Hou's feet suddenly slammed onto the reef, and the two staggered. The guy stumbled backwards and tumbling into the river. But he knew that he couldn't swim, so he shook his head helplessly. As soon as he took off his long skirt and jacket, Cao Hongjie jumped into the water and pulled the guy's collar and pulled it onto the boat.

Sitting on the pile of coals and watching the Qingzhou master snorting in the water, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh with his head raised. He also suddenly suspected that he had a wrong mind and followed such an unreliable lord.

"Dongweng, rope! Grab the rope!"

…………

This time, it took nearly a dozen tons of goods, and it took another seventeen or eighteen days before entering Chengyang County from Taishan County. However, Jia Xu was still getting more and more confused. How much food can Zang Ba in Ju County have? And even if Zang Ba has food, he could exchange these broken wood and stones with Wang Hou.

In his doubts, Wang Hou passed by Ju County heartlessly, and walked on a stretch of land with a forced ox cart to Wulian Mountain. Then he released the evacuation again, walked through the Lianhe River, and finally arrived at the seaside together.

This beach in later generations was amazing, with houses worth tens of thousands of dollars per square meter, because this is an important port in the north and a sacred place for recuperation, Rizhao City! But now, this place is still a desolate mudflat, with several small fishing villages, a radius of hundreds of miles, and no one can see...

The hot beach sun made Jia Xu's eyes blurry, and Wang Hou was not very strong either. He hadn't drunk water for a long time and his lips were dry. However, standing on the big rock at the mouth of the river, he was always holding a telescope and kept looking into the sea.

I don’t know how many hours I looked around, but in a hurry, a few small black dots finally appeared in his telescope from the sea!
