Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 42 Conspiracy is on the rise
"Mr. Gao, don't pledge the salt mine, it's our fate!" When the craftsmen around heard that Gao Jingzong was going to pledge the salt mine, they immediately surrounded Gao Jingzong and prayed to Gao Jingzong.

"I'm also doing this for the good of everyone. We have all suffered for too long!" Gao Jingzong said: "I want to set up a university in Banxian Valley, but all military households, craftsmen, and village households (that is, farmers) in Banxian Valley All children under the age of 12, regardless of gender, can enter the school, and the school also provides free lunch!"

When they heard that Gao Jingzong, the exiled immortal doctor, was going to run a school and provide lunch for free, these artisans couldn't believe their ears.Banished immortals, in folklore, are all immortals who committed crimes in the heavenly court and went down to the mortal world to accumulate merits to atone for their sins.However, Gao Jingzong has explained many times that he is not a god, but a mortal, who can bleed and die, but the people of the Banished Fairy Valley do not believe that Gao Jingzong is a mortal at all, and firmly believe that Gao Jingzong is a god who came down to earth.

This reason is also very good. Whose blood can cure ghost face sores?The ghost disease of ghost face sore is too evil, it can be contagious if it touches it, even if it is far away, it can be contagious by inhaling the exhaled breath of the patient, but Gao Jingzong has come into contact with countless patients, and nothing happened.They believe that this is because Gao Jingzong has the protection of gods and Buddhas.

Secondly, Gao Jingzong can get a lot of things. There are many people who know about this poisonous salt mine, but Gao Jingzong eliminated the poison in the salt in three steps, making this poisonous salt mine a place that can lay golden eggs. golden rooster.Secondly, Gao Jingzong made some small changes in their production, such as the use of moving pulleys, a woman can easily lift ten thousand catties of weight.In their eyes, this is something only God can do.

For thousands of years, it has been the constant long-cherished wish of every parent to wish their children a success.It is their eternal pursuit to make their children stand out.Who doesn't want their children to follow the exiled immortal doctor Gao Jingzong to get a sense of immortality?
Gao Jingzong said: "But it takes a lot of money to run a school. We don't have any for the time being. I sold all the salt mined this year. We exchanged countless grains. Everyone will no longer go hungry in the future. It's so hard." For a long time, adults and children should also add a few more clothes. Tomorrow morning, go to the warehouse to get the cloth, and each of us will have a piece of cloth, and we will divide it according to the head!"

"Wow!" The salt craftsmen exclaimed. Gao Jingzong gave them blood to cure their diseases, and they were already reincarnated Bodhisattvas.Give them a job, that is, Wanjia will become a Buddha, and give them a golden chicken that can lay golden eggs. What is this?Everyone's culture is limited, I don't know how to describe it...

Pledging the salt mine to the Xin'an Business League, the Xin'an Business League absolutely agrees with both hands and feet. They hope that Gao Jingzong will lend them a little more money. If Gao Jingzong can't pay them back by then, they can take the salt mine as their own up.

It's a pity that the Xin'an Business Alliance didn't know Gao Jingzong's real plan at all.Gao Jingzong didn't regard Banxian Valley as a real base for operation at all.

First of all, the Valley of Banished Immortals is too small, and more than [-] people have already filled the valley to its brim.If the population increases in the future, it will definitely need to expand outward, so the difficulty of defense will definitely increase exponentially.Secondly, there is a lack of foundation to become a base here, all kinds of resources are scarce, and raw materials are scarce, even coal and steel are not available, which makes Gao Jingzong very hurt.

As for the base, Gao Jingzong had already thought about it, and that would be Nanyang.In fact, Nanyang can be seen from the naming principles in ancient China. The orientation of this place is the south of the mountain and the north of the river.Nanyang is located in the south of Funiu Mountain and the north of Hanshui River. The whole county has more than 400 acres of irrigable fertile land (17 million mu), and about 2000 acres of middle and weak fields, even with extremely low yields in this era. , It can also produce nearly 200 million stones of grain every year, enough to feed a population of [-] million.

What's more, Nanyang has the advantage of Hanshui transportation, and can use water transportation to reduce transportation losses. At the same time, there are a large number of iron and steel mines and coal resources in Nanyang, and food and steel are the basis for development.

The best thing is that if Xie Wan is defeated in more than three months, he will lose the vast area north of Nanyang and Luoyang, and this area will become the master of no one.And Xianbei Murong Jun only sent Wuchang King Zhengnan General Murong Biao to lead [-] Xianbei soldiers to guard Nanyang.What's more coincidental is that Murong Biao's health is not as good as before at this time, and he will die of illness soon.Not only did this guard general not function as a guard, but he was a drag on the Yan army.

Gao Jingzong is currently trying his best to recruit refugees and expand the army.Then took the opportunity to occupy Nanyang under the banner of the Northern Expedition.Gao Jingzong built houses and gave constant property to the refugees in the Banished Fairy Valley, mainly to stabilize the morale of the army and keep them closely united around him.

Gao Jingzong's plan went very smoothly at the beginning, Chen Ying stayed in Xiangu, and continued to deceive Gao Jingzong to owe goods on credit to the Xin'an Merchant League.Yu Bian, on the other hand, returned to Xin'an with the signed cooperation agreement to discuss raising supplies, expand investment in the Banished Fairy Valley, and strive to get the salt mine in his hands.

……

If you want to say that the most difficult thing to deal with in the whole Guishen Zhonghe Jiziying is the owner of Tianjiawu Castle located on the east bank of Pofutang, Qihuoshuai Tianbao.Tian Bao is a leader in the second echelon of the entire ghost beast, second only to the Eight Great Begging Army.There are ten great men under Tian Bao's command, and each Hao Shuai has three or five hundred parts. In fact, Tian Bao can mobilize more than three thousand soldiers.

At the beginning, Tian Bao did not destroy the Jizi camp, except for the big and small thirteen beggars and young marshals on both sides of the Huai River to jointly sponsor him, so he had to give this face.The second is that Jiziying is too poor, even if it is beaten down, there will be no money.Moreover, Jiziying has a lot of hard problems, if it is not possible to knock down Jiziying, the harvest is not enough for him to compensate the resettlement expenses of the deceased trilogy.

Anyway, Ji Ziying also bowed his head and conceded defeat to him. In the arena, people pay attention to killing but nodding their heads.He, Tian Bao, is too deceitful, and I'm afraid the other beggars will have a bad opinion of him.The begging army is only good in strength, the key is that once you start a dispute, you attack the begging army that belongs to the same line as the begging army. Back then, Sima Teng met with all the begging commanders. Survival and death, if you break your oath, you will mobilize and surround them.

In this way, there was no conflict between Jiziying and Tianjiabao.

It was a sweltering day, and the obese Tian Bao couldn't bear the heat, so he jumped into the Pond and swam in a pair of calf pants and shorts.Just after landing, Tian Bao's confidant Pang Wenxi from Fan Yang (because his mother fled and gave birth to him in Wenxi County, so he was named Pang Wenxi, not the Marquis Wenxi of this era) Pang Wenxi said to Tian Bao: Shuai, good news, great news. Those poor ghosts in Jiziying got a lot of money from somewhere, and bought tens of thousands of shi of grain, and they are sending them to their camp!"

When Tian Bao saw that Pang Wenxi was stepping down to look at him, his face was displeased and he said, "What kind of oil do those poor people have? They are all like rocks, no matter how hard they are squeezed, they won't be able to squeeze out any oil!"

Pang Wenxi said: "Commander, you don't know that this is what Xiaodi saw with his own eyes. There are dozens of stone boats parked at the foot of the Huaishui River, and they are transporting food day and night."
