Chapter 587 Let’s Go to Xizhou to Pull Coal Slag Together!

"Uncle frowned and said nothing, changing the subject?" Yan Yu was a little puzzled: "Uncle is not happy? Then why not reject the marriage directly? Come to think of it, Dad, Brother Cheng is actually okay, right? When Master Gu Feng asked for my eldest sister for his son, Uncle patiently observed for a while. Is there something wrong with Brother Cheng that we can't see?"

Yan Lao Er thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of your grandmother Tian's face, it's not easy to refuse." He said earnestly: "Dabao, you have to understand the heart of a father. Which stinky boy who is eyeing his daughter is not pleasing to the eye? Besides, your uncle should not have any plans to marry now."

Hearing Yan Lao Er's words so decisively, Yan Yu wondered and asked, "Why is that?"

Yan Lao Er: Why else, Cheng Lezhou passed the exam to become a scholar!

"Your uncle is a scholar, and Cheng Lezhou is also a scholar. How can your uncle still act like a father-in-law? After this year's autumn examination, your uncle may consider him if he passes the examination. Think about it carefully, is this the truth?"

Yan Yu:...

He asked seriously, "Dad, if you can't pass the examination, you can only choose a future son-in-law from those below the level of Tongsheng? Illiterate people are given priority?"

Yan Laoer was almost furious: "You dead girl, what are you talking about? Why don't you feel ashamed!"

"What are you ashamed of!" Yan Yu raised her chin and looked very satisfied: "I am a child and I don't care about what I say!"

Yan Laoer was speechless, pointing at her and was speechless.

Yan Yu said with a smile: "Uncle is not like you, Dad, who is afraid of not being able to control his son-in-law? Hahaha! Which kid doesn't bow his head in front of uncle? Uncle's aura, wow! Brother Cheng, not to mention that he has just passed the examination for a scholar, even if he passes the examination for a juren, a jinshi, or gets lucky and passes the examination for a champion, he will kneel down!"

"Don't worry, Dad!" Yan Yu patted his chest and promised: "If any of your future sons-in-law don't obey, you don't have to do anything, Xiaoyaer and I can take care of them."

Yan Yu thought about his sister's little strength and laughed even more happily. It's great that he doesn't worry about his sister being bullied by her brother-in-law!

Yan Laoer wiped his sweat and suddenly felt a little sorry for his future son-in-law.

Regarding Yan Qianchu's marriage, the father and daughter talked for a while and then let it go. In the end, it was Old Yan who made the final decision.

"Look, your mother scolded you. You dare to make your own decision on such a big matter as robbing Xizhou and killing Beirong. What would you do if your uncle didn't help you clean up the mess?" Yan Laoer felt that although he and his wife were far away, they were connected in heart, and he immediately stood up again.

"It's because of my uncle that I dare to do it!" Yan Yu continued to read: "Mom said that Jiuxiao can send letters home, so my uncle can know... Instead of sending the letter directly to my uncle, it will be passed through my family. Well, it is indeed feasible. A trained eagle recognizes its home, which is reasonable, isn't it?

In this way, our communication with my uncle will be much faster, and the situation in Xizhou will be synchronized with my uncle as soon as possible. According to the information collected so far, Xizhou has been preparing for many years. It has money, people, and even equipment and horses. It is only a thought away from taking action!"

Yan Yu sighed: "It's too dangerous! Dad, you are really ignorant and fearless. If it were now, would you dare to make a fuss like before?"

Yan Laoer said nothing.

That must be... he dared not!

This King Qi is like a firecracker now, with a little spark, it can explode!

"I will go back and draw the map of the city now, the distribution of infantry, granaries, silver vaults, etc., and the number of people in each camp that we inferred from rice, flour, vegetables and meat..." Yan Yu counted on his fingers.

Yan Lao Er added: "It's okay to draw the city more carefully, but the blurry spots outside the city, otherwise if your uncle asks, how do we know where the King Qi hides his private soldiers, it will be difficult to explain."

Yan Yu nodded fiercely: "Well, I know, I should write more about the difficulties of the investigation process. These are all places we have been through, and the number of people is really inferred from the number of materials transported. This is the number, after being confirmed by Jiuxiao, it is closer to the actual number, hehe!"

...

Yan Huaiwen walked in the city of Huju, strolling aimlessly.

The snow that had not been cleared yet was creaking under his feet.

The shops on both sides of the street were doing decent business, with many people from other cities coming in and out, most of them were poor, pulling sleds of different sizes but very similar.

Billowing black smoke rose from the houses on both sides, accompanied by noisy conversations, bringing a bit of excitement to the snow-covered Huju City.

All the coal brought back from Xizhou had to go to Huju.

But the destinations were different.

The batch bought by the prince was transported back to Yongning after a short rest in Huju.

The prince was kind and righteous, and left a part of it for Huju before leaving.

When Master Tian knew that this was the coal that Yan Laoer had fought for with his face, he did not refuse at all and accepted it frankly.

The coal, cattle, sheep and other things brought back by the militia could not be seen in the light for the time being.

They were brought in bit by bit from the mountains by taking a detour to the border defense.

The whole process was handled by Yan Huaiwen, and the coal was quietly put into the government warehouse, and the cattle, sheep and furs were directly taken back to the military camp next to Xiaoan Village by the militia.

He personally sent the soldiers from Xizhou and the poor people who had been abducted by Beirong for many years to the quarry.

The former were put in shackles and shackles.

Work!

The quarry had many ways to deal with disobedient prisoners.

The quarry, which had been completely shut down due to the cold, started to operate again.

The manager was originally very nervous, fearing that they would be caught renting out the relatives of the exiled criminals. Unexpectedly, Yan Huaiwen not only did not pursue the matter, but also sent so many strong and healthy workers for free.

He was so happy that he closed his eyes and ears.

After Yan Huaiwen showed him the master's private seal in private, the last bit of hesitation disappeared.

No matter who they are, what else can be said since the master has agreed.

Start chiseling the stone!

Knowing that those men, women, old and young were all abducted Guanzhou people, the manager and his men gathered together to study for a long time.

They roughly guessed what happened.

When Yan Hushu said that the government office would be responsible for the food rations of these people and would deliver them regularly, the manager of the quarry refused on the spot and said that they would take good care of these people and would not let them do any work. They should stay in bed for the winter and take good care of their bodies...

Yan Huaiwen returned with satisfaction and sent three carts of coal the next day.

As for the coal slag that was brought back one after another,

The prince did not take credit for himself, and told the king of England everything that happened during the coal purchase.

The king of England did not know whether he did not take the coal slag seriously or had some other thoughts in mind, and handed the coal slag transported back from Xizhou to Yan Huaiwen instead of Master Tian.

Yan Huaiwen's way of handling it was also unique.

He handed over official documents layer by layer, stating that the coal slag was fought for by the prince and his brother for the people of Guanzhou, and it should not be enjoyed by one village or one city alone. The people of all cities in Guanzhou can take it for themselves. Those who are interested can come to Huju to join and go to Xizhou together.

Pull coal slag!

I don't know what happened to the house. I woke up in the morning and planned to have a meal and start working. After eating, I felt sleepy! ! ! I thought I would sleep for a while, and when I opened my eyes again, it was 5 pm! ! ! Then I ate again, and I felt sleepy again after eating! ! ! I slept until 10 o'clock. If I hadn't set the alarm, I wouldn't have gotten up. Maybe it's because I didn't get enough sleep recently, and my body wants to make up for it by staying at home. ╮(╯▽╰)╭~
