Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 10
The original name of Fanjiadian was Fanjiayan, which was the lake defense dam of Pofutang (Hongze Lake). It was named Fanjiayan because the ancestors of the Fan family paid for the damage.More than [-] years ago, the head of the salt lord set up a cabinet here. With the growing scale of the salt lord organization, it gradually formed a distribution center for salt lords' private salt products. The population increased and gradually developed into a small town.

It is connected to Guishen in the north and Xuyi (an important border town in the Eastern Jin Dynasty) in the south. In addition, most of the cargo ships smuggling Guishen are transshipped from here, making Fanjiadian even more prosperous than Xuyi City.However, due to the outbreak of the "Ghost Face Sore" plague, this place declined instantly.Whether it is merchants traveling from north to south, or long-term private salt users from all over the country, they all refuse to enter the salt lord.

It's a joke, if you don't eat private salt, you can eat official salt, but it's not worthwhile to lose your life if you want to be cheap.The Fanjiazheng Store used to have hundreds of thousands of shops, but now most of them are closed and all the streets are deserted.Even Chen Ji, the head of Yan Xiao, was helpless in the face of the depression of Fan's main store.

Tai'an Restaurant, located on Zhengnan Street in Fanjiadian, used to be the signature of Fanjiadian. It not only provides food, drinks and accommodation, but also has a backyard gambling house and fantou company.Tai'an Restaurant has a very good reputation, and the price is clearly marked, so the business is good, the customers are like a cloud, and the money is flowing.However, affected by the ravages of the plague, there were few customers in Tai'an Restaurant at this time.In normal times, let alone staying in a hotel, even if you want to set up a banquet here, you have to make a reservation ten and a half months in advance, and there may not be a seat.

In the lobby on the first floor of Tai'an Restaurant, dozens of drinkers were drinking and bragging.Usually the hall is full and can accommodate four to five hundred people at the same time, but nine out of ten are empty, which makes the shopkeeper of the restaurant very worried.

"Do you know? Master Lu San is not dead, not only not dead, but also alive and well!" An old drinker brought a shocking news, and the drinkers gathered around one after another, saying in one go: "What's going on, tell me!"

"Early yesterday morning, a family of forty or so in Lu's residence on Qianmen Street left with gold and silver. It is said that they received a summons from Mr. Lu San, saying that he met a miracle doctor who can heal ghost-faced sores?"

"How is this possible? This ghost face sore is very domineering. It's just infected with this ghost disease. It means death but no life. There is no cure. How can someone cure this disease?"

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. There is no way for humans to cure this ghost disease, but what if it is a god?"

"You mean to say that the person who healed the third master is a god?"

"It is very possible. It is said that this miracle doctor is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his hair is not yet fully grown. Even if he started to study medicine in the womb, how many years can he study? These ghostly facial sores have left countless good doctors helpless, but this little miracle doctor not only It can be cured, and he himself protects the body with gods and Buddhas, and he treats those who suffer from ghost-faced sores day and night, but ghost-faced sores don’t infect him, do you think it’s strange?”

"Are there really gods in this world?"

"I don't know if there is, anyway, I haven't seen it, but what's even more bizarre is the treatment method of this little genius doctor. He doesn't give needles or medicine. He just drops his own blood in a bowl for the patient to swallow. This ghost face sore It will heal without medicine!"

"Is the little genius doctor really a fairy?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't be heard by others. You don't know how many people are infected with this ghost disease. The little genius doctor only has so much blood. Even if he is a god, the number of people he can save is limited. I guess Fan's main store Many people have received the news, and they all moved their families to the Wild Wolf Valley in the north, please help the little gods!"

……

At this moment, a man in his thirties who was sitting drinking in the corner sighed, put the money for the drink on the table, got up and left, and a group of guards followed him closely. Discussing, who is this person?
The man sitting in the restaurant was none other than Chen Xun, the eldest son of Chen Ji, the head of Yan Xiao.Lu Yonghua was infected with ghost face sores, and Chen Xun was to replace him as Yan Xiao's chief financial officer.Lu Yonghua knew that Chen Xun was generous and kind on the surface, and treated others with sincerity.In fact, he is a poisonous snake with its claws drawn back, and when people are not paying attention, it kills with one bite.

Even after he recovered, Lu Yonghua did not dare to return to the Yan Xiao Organization, because he was worried about Chen Xun.Chen Xun finally became Yan Xiao's third leader, and he would never give up power easily. In order to keep his power, Chen Xun would definitely choose to make Lu Yonghua never return to Yan Xiao.

In fact, just as Lu Yonghua guessed, Chen Xun, who was in charge of Yan Xiao's financial power for the first time, found out for the first time that Yan Xiao had so much money.

When Later Zhao Shile was in power, he raised his troops to attack Jin. Later Zhao soldiers and horses once attacked Xuyi and occupied Xuyi for a short period of time.In order to prevent Zhao soldiers from occupying Xuyi, the Eastern Jin Dynasty stationed heavy troops in Xuyi.Since the Fanjiazheng Store was right under the eyes of the heavy soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid being taken over by the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the salt owl would give 4000 shi of salt and [-] shi of grain plus [-] million yuan to the troops stationed in Xuyi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty every year.

This is a very large sum.After Chen Xun took over Yan Xiao's finances, he felt that Lu Yonghua and Chen Ji were too useless. As for the useless army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, would it be necessary to give them a large sum of bribes?If you don't give bribes to the troops stationed in Xuyi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with the remaining money, Yan Xiao can buy [-] iron armors and [-] bows and crossbows. With these equipment, let alone defending against the attacks of the Eastern Jin army, it will not be a problem even if you take down Xuyi.

There are still three months until Yan Xiao pays tribute to the Jin army. Chen Xun decided to use this time to change the equipment of Yan Xiao's private army and train for a period of time to show the Jin army a little color.Chen Xun was ambitious and was about to do something big. He didn't expect to get the news that Lu Yonghua was still alive at this time.Chen Xun's biggest shortcoming is lack of prestige, so he is eager to express himself.Lu Yonghua is an old man of Chen Ji's generation, and belongs to the pioneer of Yan Xiao. No matter how rebellious Yan Xiao is, he dare not disrespect Lu Yonghua.Once Lu Yonghua came back, even if Chen Ji wanted to keep his position, the elders of the Yan Xiao would force the palace and force Chen Ji to dismiss him.

Chen Xun believes that old stubbornness like Chen Ji and Lu Yonghua are obstacles that restrict the development of Yan Xiao. To make Yan Xiao develop faster and faster, these obstacles must be eradicated one by one!

When Chen Xun returned home, he looked depressed.His wife, Zhou Yaoniang, was careful, and stepped forward to comfort her: "My husband doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"

Chen Xun smiled wryly, "I've never been in a good mood."

Zhou Yaoniang smiled slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze.Usually a woman who can laugh will make people think she is beautiful, and Zhou Yaoniang is the best among them.Zhou Yaoniang slowly approached Chen Xun, and said softly, "I'm going to prepare some food and wine, and I will have a few drinks with my husband!"

Chen Xun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Alright!"

After a short time, Zhou Yaoniang entered the room with some food and wine. Although the ordinary members of the Yan Xiao were poor, their high-level lives were very luxurious.Just a table of food and wine is probably the annual expenses of an ordinary family.The delicacies of mountains and seas in Chen Xun's mouth made him feel like he was chewing wax. He poured alcohol into his mouth from time to time. Although the alcohol content of this era is not high, Chen Xun couldn't stand such a strong drink. It took only half an hour. Xun was slightly drunk.

Chen Xun was slightly drunk, complaining all over the sky, and complained involuntarily: "Father is too useless, all ghosts and snakes will be bribed, and the money we have worked so hard for a year has already gone to seven or eight after management. Now we have nearly [-] brothers and we eat bran and swallow vegetables every day, and we are precarious, is this fair?"

Zhou Yaoniang shook her head and said, "It's not easy for Weng Weng. What we do is a shady business. If we don't manage it up and down, those big men will point their fingers, and we will be wiped out. There is a saying that destroys money, and people are happy when wealth goes away. It's no big deal to spend a little money…”

Before Zhou Yaoniang could finish speaking, Chen Xun interrupted her roughly, and shouted at her: "What do you know, what do you know, you don't understand anything?" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xun fell headlong On the table, a table full of soup and water was scattered all over the floor.

At this time, Wild Wolf Valley Gao Jingzong found that he was in serious trouble. For some reason, his reputation had spread. People suffering from ghost face sores came to seek medical treatment not far away, which is nothing. It's too remote. If it's not for people from Ziying, you can basically walk to Buyelang Valley within seven days.When they reached Wild Wolf Valley, the most dangerous time had passed, and it was no big deal. Gao Jingzong could deal with it by pretending to be a ghost.

But at this time, many people who came to Wild Wolf Valley, like Hu Guang, Ran Yu, and Feng Lei, were not infected with ghost-faced sores. Once they were infected with ghost-faced sores, he would not be able to cure them.

Although he knew that cowpox could prevent smallpox, Gao Jingzong really didn't know how it was done. Later generations would be vaccinated directly. Now he doesn't have the technology to get the smallpox vaccine out.

"Brother Gao, I brought you the ox you wanted?" Ran Yu pulled a big yellow ox with one hand, and Gao Jingzong with the other.It's a pity that this kid, Ran Yu, forgot again that Gao Jingzong's small arms and legs couldn't withstand his tugging at all. No, Gao Jingzong yelled out with an "oh", his voice was as miserable as it was .

At this time, the eyes of the people around were not so friendly to Ran Yu. If he could kill someone, Ran Yu would be delayed enough.

Ran Yu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Gao, I forgot again!"

Gao Jingzong gritted his teeth and said: "No problem, come here, hold him down, don't let him move!"

Ran Yu was like a child who has done something wrong, but he didn't resist.Gao Jingzong picked up the outdoor hand knife that came with the engineer shovel, found a thick sore on the big yellow ox, and used a small knife to pierce the cowhide, and took the yellow thick from the thick sore. , Gently stabbed Ran Yu's arm with an outdoor knife stained with thick yellow.

"Call out when it hurts?"

Ran Yu said that this is just a trivial matter.

Gao Jingzong held a knife and said to Hu Guang: "It's your turn!"

"I drank your blood!"

"That also needs to be stabbed again!"
