Chapter 409: Auction in the Prison! [Monthly Ticket Requested]

"Meet the general!"

Zhang Liao came to a specially opened camp, and the women inside quickly came over to salute.

After a day's rest and the fact that many women had changed into camouflage uniforms that soldiers were usually reluctant to wear, the entire barracks looked unique.

Zhang Liao bowed his hands to everyone:

"We are busy with military affairs. We will set off to fight tomorrow morning. The Taoist priests will arrange for you to return to your homes in Hedong County. How about it?"

He came here to negotiate terms, but as soon as he said these words, several women wiped away tears:

"General Qi, this little girl's parents were killed by the Huns. I...I have no home..."

These words made Zhang Liao feel sad. He originally wanted to persuade everyone to seek refuge with relatives, but he thought that women were like property. Even if they sought refuge with relatives, they might be sold.

Peaceful times can't stop this kind of thing, let alone troubled times when human lives are like nothing.

Leaving the reception range of the signal tower, Zhang Liao could not contact Lu Bu and others, nor could he talk directly to the court, so he had to say:

"Let's do this. I'll find a place to settle you first, allocate a batch of supplies, and then when this battle is over, I'll ask your Majesty to grant marriages to the soldiers. How about that?"

Many of his soldiers are orphans and have already reached the age of marriage, but they have no conditions and candidates for marriage.

If the problem of singles among soldiers can be solved, the soldiers will be more powerful in combat. After all, the greatest happiness of a soldier is to have a wife and a son.

If you have a daughter-in-law, you will naturally be full of energy to protect your family and country.

Upon hearing this, the girls all had surprises on their faces:

"General, will your Majesty really grant us a marriage?"

"Yes, His Majesty is very open-minded. If there is a chance, he may hold a group wedding for everyone so that you can get married together."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed:

"May I ask General, where should we wait for His Majesty to confer marriage?"

Zhang Liao originally wanted to find a small town nearby for everyone to stay, but he felt it was not safe.

This place is next to the grassland, and the folk customs are already rough. Seeing these thousands of young women, my brain is hot, and I can do anything.

He thought for a moment and thought of a perfect place:

"I wonder if you can still walk some distance. A few hundred miles to the west, there is an oil base. That is the hope of the Han Dynasty in the future. If you can go there, I will give you a chance to serve as an official. "

If you go to the oil base, you will become an oil worker. You can learn modern knowledge and receive a salary. If you make progress in your work, you can really become a manager in the future, and you can become an official.

Zhang Liao's words surprised the girls again:

"General, can't you make us happy? How can a woman be an official?"

"That's right, men are all officials, and women stay at home to wash clothes and take care of the children. If a woman were to be an official, wouldn't it be a mess?"

"I heard that Cai Shangshu specifically proposed that women should not be involved in politics, and the late emperor approved it."

"The general must be worried that we won't go, so he went out of his way to coax us."

"..."

After everyone finished the noisy discussion, Zhang Liao said:

"There is a newly established Han Academy of Sciences in Chang'an, which is responsible for the study of mechanical technology. The chief expert there is none other than Cai Yan, Cai Shangshu's daughter... She can become the chief, and so can you. Learn more, watch more, and pay more attention to everything. It’s all possible!”

The sun had set by now, so Zhang Liao simply asked the officer in charge of publicity in the army to come over and use a projector to play an industry-related documentary for everyone, and then played a promotional video about the oil base.

By the time it finished playing, the girls were all dumbfounded.

Zhang Liao asked:

"Do you want to work in this place? If you go, you can make money on your own, live in a new house, and have access to modern technology... In short, it will start a new life for you. If you want to go, meet at the camp gate tomorrow morning !”

After working hard for hundreds of miles, we started a new life.

Everyone present was moved and said they had to crawl over even if they had to.

"Everyone, get some rest early. I will send a team of cavalry to escort you there tomorrow."

After leaving the camp, Zhang Liao brought out the statue of Zhang Daoling, lit three incense sticks, prayed silently, and told the story of the placement of these girls.

This matter soon reached the ears of the empress, and then Li Yu was called to the statue.

The old mother asked:

"Prepare more clothing and sanitary products that those women need, and have cold-proof facilities in place. In short, take good care of them."

Li Yu did not expect that Zhang Wenyuan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would become a pioneer in liberating women in the Three Kingdoms world:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Lu Bu has already walked the road from Chang'an to the oil base and can pass large cars.

Li Yu returned to the B&B and told Zhou Ruotong about the incident, and then the couple rushed to wholesale women's products.

Diao Chan stood aside and came up with an idea:

"It would be great if the world in the book could produce these supplies, so there would be no need to secretly cook them."

Zhou Ruotong said:

"It's not feasible yet. The industrial foundation of the world in the book is too poor and the electricity is unstable. Even if a professional production line is introduced, it will take a lot of time to train workers, and the raw materials still have to be imported from the real world."

Going back, we can build a paper mill with lower technical content, first produce rice paper, and then household paper, and gradually make the world in the book self-sufficient.

At that time, the gods in the book world can also solve the pollution emission problem and earn merit.

For example, we can get the wastewater from the paper mill to the Ashura Realm, or extract the harmful substances in the sewage to make powerful poison gas bombs... We can ask Comrade Lu Yue, the chief chemistry professor, to work hard in this direction, and maybe there will be new gains.

"How can these materials be sent to the oil base?"

Lu Bu is busy now and can't go for the time being, not to mention Liu Xie, every time he leaves the palace, it's a big deal.

Li Yu thought about it and planned to let Liu Xie drive the truck to Chang'an, and then let Sun Facai drive to the oil base, and by the way, see what is missing and get it all there.

Chang'an is not far from the oil base. It only takes a day to drive, and there are outposts along the way, so there will be no danger.

In the next two days, the war in Hedong County was still in full swing.

Zhang Liao sent two thousand cavalrymen with drones and other equipment to escort thousands of girls to the oil base, while Zhang Liao himself led the main force and went south with Cheng Yu to attack Taiyuan County.

In Luoyang, Zhong Yao, Xu Rong and Huang Zhong joined forces to drive out most of the bandits in the city, officially settled in Luoyang, and began to plan the newly established Sizhou.

Huang Zhong also led his troops to take Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass to prepare for the attack on the Central Plains.

As for Henei County in the north of Luoyang, don't worry about it for the time being. Wait until Lu Bu comes to have a good chat with Zhang Yang.

During this period, Xu Huang and Pang De were not idle in Wancheng. They had been holding grievance meetings, occupying territories, and holding public trials to eliminate some evil people.

Liu Biao also wrote a letter to this end, saying that the gentry was the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and asked Xu Huang to be careful. Once the gentry made a fuss, the small Nanyang prefect could not bear it.

After reading the letter, Xu Huang said lightly, "I can't read," and sent the messenger away.

Pang De took the opportunity to take over Xinye County, and gradually encroached on the territory between Xiangyang and Wancheng. Liu Biao, a scholar of pure talk, suddenly woke up and sent 5,000 hu of grain to Wancheng, and never asked about Nanyang County again.

After incorporating Xinye County into his territory, Pang De funded the Deng family in the city on the grounds that he was destined to be on good terms with the Deng family, and deliberately made friends with the third generation of generals in the court.

Well, although Deng Ai was not born for another seven or eight years, this did not prevent Pang De from burning incense in advance.

Xu Huang also asked people to find Wen Pin and Wei Yan, but one of them went out to study and the other served in other places, and Brother Gongming missed a good general.

In Chang'an City, reforms were still going on imperceptibly. Tian Feng's Jishifu had already formed a team of more than 200 people. When they appeared on Zhuque Street in brand new Feiyu suits, they immediately attracted the attention of the people. Some people even asked about the same clothes, but they couldn't buy them no matter how much money they paid.

On the other side, the world of Water Margin and Yue Fei.

Chai Jin has successfully arrived at Zhending Prefecture. Liu Bei took him to learn a lot of modern knowledge and learned to play mobile games, which opened the door to a new world.

Zhang Fei quietly took over the counties near Zhending Prefecture one by one, and took a break from his busy schedule to visit the border between Song and Liao with his soldiers to check the area in advance.

Yue Fei transported a bunch of things to Zhending Prefecture, and then set off on his way home alone, intending to return to Qilin Village to complete his major event in life - engagement.

"Brother Fei is getting engaged, time flies so fast..."

Li Shimin ate the watermelon cheese made by Li Yu, his little face full of envy.

Liu Xie asked:

"Brother Shimin is about to get engaged, right?"

"It's too early. You can't talk about it until you're thirteen at least. Fortunately, sister Wugui is willing to wait for me."

Wu Song, who had just returned from Qilin Village, couldn't help but complain:

"Your Majesty Taizong likes to show off his affection so much. Isn't he afraid of causing public outrage?"

"Brother Erlang, Sister Zhen just called and said that if you don't come home, she will break your dog legs!"

When Wu Song heard this, he didn't even bother to eat the watermelon and drove away in a hurry.

Li Shimin's evil plan succeeded, and he said with a smile:

"A dignified tiger-fighting hero is so afraid of women. It turns out that women are scarier than tigers... Fortunately, sister Wugui is gentle and considerate and never teaches me a lesson."

Mu Guiying pointed out his mistake:

"You've started crying before I even started teaching you a lesson?"

"No way, I haven't cried for two...two and a half days!"

Mu Guiying pouted when she heard this...you're embarrassed to say two and a half days, little Taizong, you're hopeless!

Li Yu came over with a bowl of Bobo Chicken that he made himself, looked at them and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

Mu Guiying quickly raised her hand:

"Husband, we found Fan Zhongyan. After asking for a long time, we realized that he changed his surname to his stepfather's, Zhu Shuo. Unfortunately, his stepfather was a jerk. He sent him to the temple and didn't care about him anymore. He was skinny, sloppy, and dirty. He didn't even have a decent piece of clothing."

Fan Zhongyan was indeed very sloppy. Even the official history recorded that he had lice on his body and was disliked by Emperor Renzong. It was probably related to his living in the temple since he was a child.

Diao Chan asked curiously:

"Doesn't his mother care?"

Mu Guiying sighed:

"In order to support her son, Fan Zhongyan's mother married into the Zhu family as a concubine, with no status to speak of. Unfortunately, Fan Zhongyan was sent to the temple soon after he married, to fend for himself... Whenever Fan's mother asked, the Zhu family said that they gave her a lot of silver to make her feel at ease."

It sounds so miserable... Li Yu asked:

"Did you teach the Zhu family a lesson?"

"You did. We beat them up and smashed the Fan family. Fan Zhongyan met his mother and changed his name on the spot to follow us... The little guy is very stubborn."

"Where's Fan's mother?"

"She was very happy too, but she hated Fan Zhongyan's slovenly appearance and forced him to take a bath three times."

What a real mother... Li Yu was about to speak when Yue Fei, who had not spoken, suddenly said:

"Fan Zhongyan doesn't like to take a bath in the temple, maybe for self-protection."

Yuwen Chengdu's curiosity was aroused:

"Why do you say that?"

"Male homosexuality was prevalent in the Song Dynasty, and temples in the Song Dynasty were places where filth and dirt were hidden. It was difficult for people with good looks to escape the clutches of the devil. Fan Zhongyan deliberately made himself dirty and smelly, so that no one would harass him. Instead, he could study with peace of mind and pass the imperial examinations."

If that's the case, then Fan Zhongyan is really a talent.

But since he has escaped, he naturally has to pay attention to hygiene and can't be sloppy anymore.

Li Yu asked:

"Has he developed good habits since arriving at Muke Village?"

"No at first, he even resisted taking a bath and wearing new clothes. Later, I secretly put the dust-repelling beads on him, and this guy suddenly became handsome, even he was shocked."

The dust-repelling beads given by the empress really made good use of them.

As they were chatting, a container truck drove to the homestay, and all the women's products and clothing that were wholesaled two days ago were delivered.

Li Yu rented the car, agreed with the driver on the delivery time, and drove to the back door of the warehouse, letting Liu Xie drive to the Three Kingdoms world.

Outside Chang'an City, when the super-long semi-trailer appeared on the road, the onlookers were all shocked.

When Liu Xie got off the car, everyone around him knelt down and shouted long live.

This rare miracle is really exciting.

Sun Facai put on sunglasses, drove across the Weihe Bridge with steel beams, and headed straight for the oil base.

In the prison cell of Anyi City, Hedong County, the jailers were holding a small auction.

"Fragrant braised goose legs, two pounds of meat, very fragrant, those who want it can vote by raising their hands, the starting price is two thousand hu of grain or one thousand mu of good farmland, and each bid must not be less than one thousand hu or five hundred mu, start!"

The leaders of the powerful families in the prison cell immediately started a fierce competition.

"My Zhou family offers four thousand hu of grain."

"My Wang family offers four thousand mu of good farmland!"

"Five thousand mu! Can you give me some face?"

"You can't eat your face, ten thousand hu of grain!"

"You are forcing me to turn against you, right? Two salt wells!"

"Huh, how many years have you not eaten meat? My family offers three salt wells, and the slaves inside, and who can snatch it from me?"

"..."

Outside the prison cell, Du Ji listened carefully with his hands behind his back.

Ji Ling, the new Sima of Hedong County, asked in a low voice:

"Bo Hou, for the sake of food, aren't they going too far?"

Du Ji said with a smile:

"General, you don't know, they are trying to curry favor with the court... They have only been hungry for a few days, so they naturally won't be so greedy. They are mainly trying to curry favor with the court through the auction and seek a chance to survive. Anyway, even if they eat up all the food, their family's property is enough to last until they die, as long as they can get out alive."

Du Ji, who came from a poor family, knew all about these things, so he didn't worry about offending anyone at all.

Ji Ling opened his mouth and couldn't help sighing:

"You intellectuals have so many twists and turns, I'm not as good as you!"

As they were chatting, Zhang Xiu's voice came from the intercom:

"The magistrate of Pi County wanted to jump into the Yellow River to commit suicide, but was stopped by us. Now he is preparing to take him to Anyi."

After taking another city, Du Ji was very excited:

"Okay, I'll send someone to take over."

Just after replying, Ma Chao's voice came from the intercom:

"The magistrate of Yang County and the county lieutenant resisted stubbornly and were all killed. A small number of soldiers led by them were annihilated, and the rest surrendered."

Du Ji said:

"Meng Qi has worked hard, I will send someone to take up the post as soon as possible."

The battle of Hedong, which had been planned for a long time, was unexpectedly approaching its end just after it began.

Speed ​​is really important in war!

At this time, Jia Xu had passed Fenglingdu and set up the front-line command post in Puban County.

Tongguan has arranged a new garrison commander. The original garrison commander Zhang He was sent to Taiyuan County to serve as the prefect, and together with Du Ji, he put pressure on the neighboring Shangdang County.

The world of Yue Fei in Water Margin.

Tens of thousands of people finally arrived safely in Qilin Village. The village prepared big pot dishes and pancakes to warmly entertain the people who came from afar.

Due to the full preparation in advance, and the fact that Qilin Village had stored a large amount of food, the logistics support was very good, and the people felt very happy and felt that they had come to the right place.

It was dark when everyone was settled. Chao Gai and others were full and drank enough, so they were able to rest.

The next morning, Lin Chong wore calf-nose pants, bare-chested, and tied a bramble on his back, and strode towards his master Zhou Tong's home.

On the way, many villagers pointed at him, and even Zhao Fujin and others came out to watch.

The apprentice returned to the right path, and the master should be so happy that he cried... Everyone followed behind, wanting to see the touching scene of the master and apprentice meeting.

Unexpectedly, just as Lin Chong arrived at Zhou Tong's door, the gate slammed shut.

Zhou Tong didn't even let Lin Chong in!

Lin Chong knelt down heavily at the door and said loudly:

"I am the sinner Lin Chong, and I have come to apologize to my master!"

Then he knelt straight at the door, like a sculpture.

The people didn't understand, and even the little palace maid Caihua who had gone to watch the fun was full of questions at this time, and asked Zhao Fujin in a low voice:

"Emperor... Principal Zhao, doesn't Mr. Zhou miss Lin Chong very much? Why didn't he open the door for his apprentice?"

Zhao Fujin smiled lightly:

"My foster father is a master!"

"How do you say this? Just say it quickly, or I will tell everyone about you talking about Third Master in your sleep at night!"

Unexpectedly, he would be manipulated one day. Zhao Fujin blushed and whispered:

"My foster father knows that many people in Qilin Village have objections to Senior Brother Lin Chong. If he is allowed to enter directly, many people will feel uncomfortable, so he will give him a penalty and kneel down. When everyone is relieved, Senior Brother Lin will be able to do better. integrated into Qilin Village.”

When Caihua heard this, she suddenly realized:

"If you want to say that, then I understand... When will the third master come back? I'm... I'm worried for you."

Zhao Fujin glanced at this girl:

"You're going to be a concubine for him?"

This time it was Caihua's turn to blush:

"He...he hugged me, so he has to be responsible!"

At the Zhending Mansion Cavalry Camp, Zhang Fei, who was sucking noodles in soup, couldn't help but sneeze:

"I feel like someone is scolding me. It must be Bingzhou kid. If I have the chance to meet him, I will scold him to death!"
