I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 135

In the dark of night, everyone was silently busy in full swing.

The same number of iron balls were taken out of each of the baskets containing iron balls under the roof, and then stacked back one by one and put back into the original state.

Wan Jinlan's eyes were a little red when she saw batches of silks, satins, ceramics, rouge and gouache under the shed, these were all silver!

She had estimated that seven carriages would not be enough, but she squeezed them evenly and just put them down, and estimated that there was two thousand catties of iron ore.

After the convoy left, Yu Song and An Xi broke up and restored the shed to its original state, covering it with sackcloth. The height was the same as before except that it looked a little shorter.

The convoy walked back and forth, and Yu Song and the others followed behind to sweep away the traces.

Just in case, Yu Song did not follow back to the cottage after clearing the traces, but turned back to find a place to sleep first, and waited to see the reaction in the courtyard the next day.

By the time we got back to the cottage, it was already midnight.

Finally, this matter was done, Wan Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep in peace.

She worked hard for several days, and this time she slept very deeply.

There were people in the courtyard who slept as heavily as she did.

The guards at the gate woke up and found that they were all sleeping at the gate. Immediately, they felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly counted all the goods in the yard.

When I lifted the sackcloth, I looked at the baskets of iron balls piled up one after another. I didn't feel anything wrong for a while. After counting the baskets, I felt relieved that there were no shortage of baskets.

These few people never imagined that when it was sold, it was obviously a whole ten thousand catties, but in the end it turned into eight thousand catties, and the two thousand catties seemed to evaporate.

Seeing that nothing else happened, Yu Song took out the meatloaf from his bosom, and continued to stare at it while eating and drinking enough water in the water bag.

In the evening, ten more carriages came and delivered a batch of goods. In the early morning of the second day, many strong men came outside the courtyard, nearly a hundred tall and strong men, and there were nearly fifty carriages. After loading the carriages, everyone Set off on horseback.

These people were all ready to go, and Yu Song also went back to the cottage.

Two thousand catties of iron ore were obtained, but there was no news from Wang Shu and Li Dazhuang. Wan Jinlan started to buy other materials everywhere, and started to build a workshop behind the cottage.

As for blacksmiths, there is a father and son in Xiaping village who make a living by blacksmithing in the town.

While Wan Jinlan was busy, the war in the north was over, and the Helan and Basha tribes could not continue to consume. Many of their cattle and sheep were infected with diseases. Because of the several months of war, the clansman also suffered many casualties, and even lost their lives. In several cities, the weather warmed up, and when it was time to recuperate, they fled to the Gula Mountains with their clansmen.

The Liangzhou army began to turn the tide of the battle after the epidemic improved. Liangzhou Mu Liwei was determined to teach the bloody lessons of the two clans who were rebellious, and counterattacked regardless of the cost, even using poisoning.

The effect was remarkable, and the two groups did not dare to offend Liangzhou again within two years.

Of course, the number of casualties of the Liangzhou army is also a shocking number. Not to mention those who died of the epidemic, there were [-] people who died under the horseshoes of the barbarians.

After the casualties were counted, Li Wei reported the situation to the court, intending to ask for a pension.Not only that, but in the memorial, he also asked for credit for those who made meritorious service in this battle.

The good news spread to Kyoto as early as the first time. Emperor Jian'an looked happy, and the courtiers were happy, but he always had hidden worries in his heart.

After the external aggression is resolved, there will be internal hidden dangers.

Emperor Jian'an's face turned black until the paper asking for the pension was delivered.

If it hadn't been for the inspection of Yangzhou's salt tax, many family properties were confiscated, and the treasury was abundant, it would definitely be dwarfed by comparison now.

Emperor Jian'an didn't want to pay, but he had to.

Thinking of the iron mine in Mangshan that Xiao Minghuan had reported, Emperor Jian'an was extremely wary of Li Wei.

When he thought that his courtiers were planning to do something wrong, and he had to pay the other party, he became extremely annoyed.

If King Su hadn't rebelled, he wouldn't have fallen into this situation at all.

Emperor Jian'an has been able to sit firmly on the throne for many years. Naturally, he is not of Yi Yu's generation. After discussing with his confidants, he decided to make Li Wei the Marquis of Zhenxi, and then ordered the Marquis of Zhenxi to enter the capital to celebrate his achievements. Beat King Su.

As for the pension money, this time it was sent to Liangzhou by King Shun to reward the meritorious soldiers on behalf of the emperor.

King Shun passed the news of his death on the battlefield. After missing for half a year, he returned to the capital mysteriously a month ago. All the dignitaries in the capital were inconceivable.

According to King Shun himself, he was dying after being wounded on the battlefield. He injured his head and lost his memory. He was rescued by a woman and rushed back after recovering his memory.As for the village girl, she was naturally brought back by him.

The happiest thing is Concubine Chen Shu.

As for Xiao Minghuan, who had only lost someone in Liangzhou once, and thought that the emperor had no sons to use besides him, he was extremely disappointed.

At this time the two brothers went out of the palace together, Xiao Minghuan wanted to congratulate King Shun for receiving a good job against his will.

There was a faint smile on King Shun's face, and he didn't look that happy.

He knew better than anyone else that the emperor was just using him and Xiao Minghuan as pawns.When he got away from the battlefield, he just wanted to go to Tanzhou to see how the batch of firearms were made.

The letter he received in Kyoto stated the power of the firecracker, and he also imagined that if it could be mass-produced, he would no longer have to look at his father's face in the future.

It's a pity that the old man surnamed Lu escaped, and none of the Chen family and the people he sent out returned. There was no other possibility except that something happened.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return to Kyoto again.

Although he doesn't have firecrackers, he has a batch of machine crossbows that are better than the army's machine crossbows. As long as Da Wei settles down, he has a better chance of winning than the naive Xiao Minghuan.

He never told Concubine Chen Shu about his plan, although he knew that Concubine Chen Shu had been immersed in the palace for many years and was deeply scheming, but if she was completely ignorant, she would be able to deceive the emperor even more.

The two brothers were walking together on the palace road at this time, they seemed to be brothers and sisters, but in reality there was an undercurrent.

"Brother, do you know the maid in Laifei's palace?" Xiao Minghuan knew the news because Wan Qiuyu told him, and Wan Qiuyu got it from Wan Jinlan.

Xiao Minghuan has already verified that the Concubine Lai's Palace has been protected by the emperor in recent days, if there is no trick, how could it be so nervous.

King Shun's face was indifferent: "I still have something to do, let's go first."

How could King Shun not know that Xiao Minghuan was trying to sow discord.In his opinion, Xiao Minghuan is not worthy to be compared with him at all.

Xiao Minghuan is the son of a dancing girl. Now there is no mother and concubine to protect him in the palace, and the government is in decline. He is a poor wag who is begging for mercy in front of the emperor, and he has no qualifications to sit on an equal footing with him.

The maid in Laifei Palace is pregnant, but even if it is born, it is just a baby, so what if it is a male grandson?Babies are fragile, and it is not easy to grow up in the palace without disease or disaster.

King Shun never took the baby seriously, and Xiao Minghuan couldn't see through it at all. Now King Su might be the culprit that made Wei fall apart.If this trouble does not subside, even if you ascend to the throne of God, you will not be able to sit firmly.

Xiao Minghuan clenched his fists tightly, looking at King Shun's back with a cold look in his eyes.
