Chapter 354 Hello Gongjin, My Name Is Kong Ming! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Late at night, the noisy Chang'an City finally calmed down. In the Weiyang Palace, the copper pot for cooking mutton had been removed and replaced with a huge Chang'an city defense map.
Every time a family was exposed, Zhuge Liang held a small colorful flag and placed it at the location of the family.
Sun Facai lit a cigarette and pretended to be at the side. However, he did not follow the counselors to analyze the battle situation or anything else. Instead, he concentrated on staring at the marked houses on the map.
If nothing unexpected happens, all the houses with small flags will be emptied, and the people inside will either go to quarrying or mining. If they are lucky, they may build roads or cultivate fields, but there is little hope.
After all, the people in Chang'an area now rely on these jobs to fill their stomachs, and they cannot let prisoners take away their jobs.
"Which house does Teacher Sun like? I can reward you."
Liu Xie came over with some newly baked prune and vegetable sesame cakes for everyone to have a midnight snack.
Sun Facai looked around and finally felt that the house he lived in now was good. Although it was a bit small and he had only moved in three times, it seemed humane because of its small size.
The houses of the officials whose houses were raided tonight were quite large, with the largest one nearly a hundred acres, but what was the use of such a large yard? In the end, it was discovered by the court.
Let's wait until the conditions are ripe and build a modern villa with a reinforced concrete structure, solar energy on the roof, and two diesel generators in the basement, so that there will be sufficient power anytime and anywhere.
When the time comes, Brother Yu will prepare all the toilets, furniture and appliances, and build a modern villa and courtyard in the Three Kingdoms World. That can be called enjoying the time-travel life.
Thinking of this, Sun Facai put the remaining half of his cigarette into the ashtray, took a bite of the still hot plum and vegetable sesame cake:
"Let's keep it in the original courtyard. If we don't change it, moving it around will take away all the feng shui of our house... Hey, this sesame seed cake is good, the outside is crispy and delicious."
He put a few on a plate and sent a little palace maid to deliver them to Cai Yan in the next hall.
It was not peaceful tonight, so many people took their family members to Weiyang Palace to stay temporarily.
While he was busy, Xun You's voice sounded from the intercom on the table:
"All enemies in the city have been cleared. All cavalry have entered the Northern Army camp and will go out early tomorrow morning."
Marching at night is prone to accidents, and we don't know if there are any remaining rebels in the city. The best way is to patrol again tomorrow to confirm that there are no problems before retreating to the cavalry camp outside the city.
It just adds some sense of security to the people of Chang'an, so that they will not be preoccupied with avoiding disasters and delaying their life and production.
Jia Xu picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Are the supplies enough?"
"enough!"
"Then take a rest. If a mouse comes out in the middle of the night, I'll let you know."
"Here!"
After ending the call, Jia Xu asked Guo Jia from Beigong again:
"What's going on? Isn't it finished yet?"
"There are only a few people left who are stubbornly resisting. It will be over soon... Can you ask the city defense troops to quickly collect the corpses on the street? The Secrecy Bureau's car came to pick me up, but it was blocked by corpses."
At this moment, there are at least two thousand corpses on Zhuque Street. Horses can pass through, but forget about electric-driven four-wheel sightseeing vehicles. This thing cannot move forward at all.
Jia Xu said:
"It's ongoing, don't worry, Zhuque Street will be opened soon, and water will be sprinkled to clean the street in the middle of the night. Tomorrow morning, Chang'an City will be clean again."
While they were chatting, Ma Chao led Zhou Yu and Cheng Lian in.
All three of them had a great time killing, but relatively speaking, it was Zhou Yu's first time on the battlefield, and he was not very familiar with spears, so his results were obviously not as good as Ma Chao, the god of death.
The Ma family has been guarding Xiliang, and the blood of fighting and fighting is flowing in their bones. After coming to Chang'an, the young man has been suppressing the murderous intention. He finally got a chance to release it tonight, and naturally he killed with great joy.
Relatively speaking, Cheng Lian was relatively stable and had been supporting Zhou Yu, fearing that something might happen to the future governor in this small battle.
"Meet your Majesty, meet Mr. Wen He, meet Captain Yang, meet Cai Zhongshu, meet Dean Sun, meet Mr. Xun..."
After the bloody baptism, Ma Chao, who was satisfied with killing, became polite and sensible, and greeted everyone.
When saying hello, this guy also introduced Zhou Yu. Cheng Lian also took the opportunity to apologize to Liu Xie and Jia Xu, saying that they should not act recklessly and take the newly arrived Zhou Gongjin into battle.
Ever since he received the imperial edict in Lujiang, Zhou Yu had fantasized about coming to Chang'an to meet His Majesty countless times.
Before leaving, the elders who had served as officials in Beijing admonished him one by one and told him many skills and experiences in dealing with the emperor's courtiers.
As a result, when I actually arrived at the palace, I found that it was completely different from what the elders said.
At that time, Taiwei Yang Biao and Shangshu Ling Cai Yong were holding a baked small round cake and eating it. Huangmen servants Xun Yu and Jia Xu were standing in front of the map to discuss the finishing details. Dian Wei was holding a double halberd. Stand guard at the door.
In the entire side hall, everyone seemed to be very casual, except for the person from Zhongshu who kept taking notes.
As for His Majesty himself, he was carrying a small basket of freshly baked cookies to distribute to everyone. Although Liu Xie was young, he showed a calmness and composure that belied his age, as if the rebellion in the city tonight was nothing in his eyes. .
"Gong Jin, thank you for your hard work in the battle. This is a newly baked plum and vegetable sesame pancake with some fat cubes added to it. How do you like it?"
After the salute, Zhou Yu thought that His Majesty himself would say some exciting words, but in the end he just handed over the cakes for him to taste.
What a strange emperor, what a strange ministers, but this relaxed atmosphere really makes people like it... Zhou Yu took the browned sesame cake and took a bite.
Hey, don't tell me, it tastes really good.
Zhuge Liang, who had read the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", came over and took the initiative to say hello:
"Is Gongjin's journey going smoothly?"
"It was not smooth before entering Wuguan. There were always bandits and remnants of the Yellow Turbans. After passing Wuguan, I met General Xu and Military Advisor Xun, and I never encountered any banditry again."
Along the way, Zhou Yu's biggest feeling was not that the territory of the Han Dynasty was too big and the journey was too difficult, but that the crops in the Guanzhong Plain could not be seen at a glance, which made his heart surge and excited.
With so many crops, how much food will be harvested?
He didn't dare to think about it, he just felt that he had finally found the direction of his life!
"I heard that Gong Jin is proficient in music?"
Zhuge Liang took a thermos and poured a cup of hot water for Zhou Yu, asking him to eat slowly.
"I know a little bit about it, but I haven't asked Gao's name yet."
"My name is Zhuge Liang. My father's nickname was Kongming during his lifetime. I followed my uncle from Langya to Fuchun to take up a post, and then went to Jingzhou. I received your Majesty's edict not long ago. I have been in Chang'an for less than a month."
Upon hearing that it was also an edict, Zhou Yu became a little closer to Zhuge Liang.
While the two were chatting quietly, the intercom on the table never stopped, reporting from various departments in the city. Zhong Yao, who had just finished handling the affairs in the city, hurried over and took over these trivial matters.
As for Jia Xu himself, accompanied by Cheng Lian and Ma Chao, he walked out of the side hall and came to a temporary room at the entrance of the palace.
Li Su was handcuffed and sitting against the wall in a daze.
Ma Chao placed a small basket of prune and vegetable sesame cakes in front of him:
"Your Majesty feels sorry for you and asked me to send it to you."
Li Su was not afraid of being burned, so he took the sesame cake and bit off most of it in one bite. Then he said to Jia Xu with shame:
"Mr. Wenhe is laughing at me. I am being exploited because I have no brains. I don't complain if I am killed or chopped into pieces. But can I do it before Marquis Wen comes back? I really don't have the face to see him."
Jia Xu walked up to him and said unhurriedly:
"When Fengxian heard about this, his only request was that he not kill you. He wanted to see you again... Because of this request, I didn't dare to send you to the Secrecy Bureau, lest anyone want to silence you."
Hearing this, Li Su, who had always been very tough, couldn't hold back any longer. Tears dripped down his face. He covered his face with his hands and let out a very suppressed cry.
Cheng Lian didn't smoke much, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but take out a pack of cigarettes, tore them open, took out one, and lit it awkwardly.
He wanted to say something to complain, but in the end he didn't know what to say.
Jia Xu remained silent until Li Su was almost done crying, and then asked:
"Did Zhao Jian instigate you?"
Li Su wiped his tears with his sleeves, nodded and said:
"He came to me and said that there was news from the Secrecy Bureau that while Marquis Wen was away, Guo Fengxiao planned to purge those who served under Dong Zhuo, and my name was among them..."
Kong Ming's analysis was correct, it was indeed this guy... Jia Xu's expression was a little cold, and then he asked:
"What role did Zhao Qi, Zhao Jian's father, play in it?"
"The mastermind behind the scenes... After Ma Rixi was re-employed by His Majesty, Zhao Qi did not agree with his ideas and was often depressed. He also said that the Han Dynasty would be ruined. Zhao Jian secretly contacted some of Wang Yun's old ministers, all of whom were unsuccessful. Officer, everyone is quietly getting together to make trouble."
Pooh! What a group of believers... Ma Chao often learned curse words from Sun Facai. He didn't quite understand the meaning of believers, but at this moment he felt that this word was extremely appropriate to use on the rebels.
The Secrecy Bureau really needs to be cleaned... Jia Xu moved his wrist and felt the urge to shock someone.
Li Su poured out all the plans as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and also confessed all the officials involved, many of whom were not discovered tonight.
Every time he said a name, Ma Chao took the walkie-talkie and reported one to Guo Jia.
In Chang'an City at night, groups of people from the Secrecy Bureau quietly left the headquarters and visited these fish that had slipped through the net one by one.
"What's going on with that yard? With the ability of Zhao Jian and his son, it's hard to come up with so much money, right?"
The price of the nearby yards on Zhuque Street is extremely high, and ordinary officials simply cannot afford to buy them.
The Zhao family and his son are not prominent people. They have only served as minor officials with a rank of less than Qianshi. Judging from the previous situation of unrealized salary payments, it is difficult for the father and son to accumulate a large family fortune.
Li Su recalled it carefully and confessed:
"I only know that it was a gift of gold from Jizhou. They also said that the familiar court will come back after the Qing Dynasty comes to your side."
familiar?
Is it the court where the Yuan family's Yiyantang resides?
When Jia Xu heard the word Jizhou, he knew it was Yuan Shao.
Although the concubine of the fourth generation and the third prince is capable, he is not top-notch. He is quite good at making a comeback at a small cost.
By this point in the conversation, Jia Xu had understood everything.
Li Su knelt down on his knees and solemnly requested:
"I don't have the face to see Marquis Wen, so I asked Mr. Wenhe to give me a favor. I just ask you to take care of the youngest son in the family for the sake of our past friendship."
Naturally, Jia Xu would not agree:
"I have no power to deal with you. I'll wait until Feng Xian comes. If you die now, your family's life will be even more miserable, and your children will be unable to hold their heads up and live with low self-esteem for the rest of their lives... I will treat you first these days. Stay here, don’t commit suicide, and live well.”
After saying that, Lao Jia got up and left.
Ma Chao glanced at Li Su and left.
Cheng Lian lit another cigarette, sat down, and angrily scolded the Zhao family and his son.
Li Su smiled bitterly:
"I was too stupid. I was deceived by someone with just a few words, and I smuggled so many weapons out of the Ordnance Department. I was so stupid."
In the side hall, Jia Xu told Liu Xie what he had asked:
"It should be only ten o'clock over there. Go tell Mr. Li, he must be waiting for the results too."
Liu Xie agreed and came to the real world and found that everyone was indeed sitting in the study room and had not rested yet.
"Little crab, have you got any results over there?"
As soon as she entered the study, Mu Guiying, who was half lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, suddenly sat up and asked about the progress of Chang'an City with a concerned look on her face.
Liu Xie told the story.
Hearing that Zhou Yu was actually in Chang'an City, Li Yu felt that when he attacked Hedong, he could let this little guy follow him to experience the efficiency of modern pontoon bridge construction and the speed of assault boats in the water, which would be very helpful to him in commanding the navy in the future.
No matter what era, amphibious commanders are treasures, and Zhou Yu is the leader among them. When we turn back to attack Jingzhou and Jiangdong, it will be much easier to have Zhou Yu participate.
Thinking of the starry world of the Three Kingdoms, Yuwen Chengdu's face was full of yearning:
"If I can ride on the battlefield with the masters over there, my life will be considered worthwhile!"
Li Yu said:
"Don't think about it now, study more, and wait until you have learned enough before choosing the world you want to go to. You only have one chance, so don't make decisions blindly."
"Don't worry, sir, the students will seriously consider it."
Liu Xie didn't stay long and hurried back.
When the steel bars ordered by Li Yu arrived, Mu Guiying drove the semi-trailer away, and soon drove the empty truck back.
Five carts of steel bars were transported to Muke Village.
After the drivers drove away, Yuwen Chengdu went to the warehouse to rest. Li Shimin originally wanted to go upstairs to his room, but he felt that as a member of the world of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it would be better to spend more time with Yuwen Chengdu, a fellow villager.
So the little guy also lived in a tin house, but because he played with fire during the day, he peed on Yuwen Chengdu's bed.
Early the next morning, Yuwen Chengdu was busy washing sheets and drying mattresses, which made Li Shimin very embarrassed.
During breakfast, the little guy took the initiative and said:
"Let's offset the money you owe me, how about that?"
Yuwen Chengdu smiled:
"Are you afraid that I'll spread the word?"
"What? I just think it's pitiful that you have no relatives or friends. If you want to owe it, then continue to owe it. Calculate the interest. It's five yuan a day."
"Okay, no problem. I'll ask your husband first how to deal with a child who wets the bed."
"Brother Yuwen, I was wrong. You never owed me four hundred and seventy-one yuan. On the contrary, I owed you this much. I will transfer it to you right away. How about it?"
The little brat loves face... Yuwen Chengdu took a sip of the pumpkin millet porridge and felt that the porridge in the real world was so delicious. It was like heaven.
After breakfast, Yuwen Chengdu began to study on his own. Li Yu drove Lu Bu and Mu Guiying to the mixing station to learn how to use tank trucks and pump trucks.
Both of them were very smart and quickly mastered the skills.
When returning, Lu Bu mentioned Li Su:
"If that idiot dares to commit suicide, from now on I will sleep with his woman, spend his property, beat his children, and change his children's surnames by the way... Damn, he is such an invincible idiot!"
Li Yu said:
"Why don't you ask Liu Xie to drive the off-road vehicle over later? You drive over there and rush to Chang'an to handle this matter first, and then go back and continue to build the oil base."
"It's okay, it saves him from really dying and I still have to support two families."
When they arrived at the B&B, Liu Xie quickly drove Lu Bu's off-road vehicle over, and Li Yu helped fill it up with gas. Lu Bu drove back to the book world, planning to get to Chang'an in one day.
Liu Xie wanted to leave immediately, but when he saw that it was almost noon, he simply stayed and had a meal with his master.
If you have a meal here, you will save a meal in Three Kingdoms World.
Governing the country is not easy, but the province still needs to be saved.
We had noodles with soybean paste for lunch today. Li Yu specially prepared a variety of noodles for everyone to enjoy, especially Yuwen Chengdu, who made a big pot of noodles, which was a bigger meal than Zi Shou.
For a person with great strength, the consumption is indeed huge.
After lunch, Yuwen Chengdu continued to study in his study. There were study notes and textbooks from Wu Song, Diao Chan, Yue Fei, Li Shimin and others, as well as various online courses, so he could study step by step and systematically.
Li Yu packed a portion of noodles with fried bean paste for Zhou Ruotong, and drove with Mu Guiying to deliver meals to the archaeological team.
"Sister Zhou, does this entire office belong to you?"
As soon as Mu Guiying entered, she leaned on the sofa without any posture.
In order to regain his confidence, Li Yu took out the Rubik's Cube from his desk, randomly twisted it a few times, and handed it to the girl:
"Try it, this thing is very challenging for your brain."
"Really? It feels so simple!"
Mu Guiying took the Rubik's Cube and restored it after a few rubs. Li Yu was stunned to see it.
Not believing in evil, he disrupted the Rubik's Cube again. As a result, Mu Guiying easily recovered it within a minute, and the two of them competed with the Rubik's Cube.
"Hahaha, sir, don't you know how to play a Rubik's Cube?"
Naturally, Li Yu would not admit it:
"I just think this is a brain exercise and I want you to play with it more... Next time I will buy a fifth-level Rubik's Cube for you to try. It is very difficult."
Zhou Ruotong looked at someone's deflated look and couldn't help but laugh:
"There are tutorials online. You can study them later."
"I save the world every day, how can I care about these trivial matters? Hurry up and eat, I have to buy a gift for Xuande later... Zhou Tong is engaged, and I am too busy to look after my in-laws, who can I talk to for reasoning? go."
Mu Guiying came here today just to help pick out gifts.
But when the two of them came to the supermarket, the girl was either picky about food or toys, and she kept helping them.
Li Yu chose latex pillows, various snacks, various candies and other items. As for other daily necessities and toiletries, they are available in warehouses. They are wholesaled directly from manufacturers and are much cheaper than buying them in supermarkets.
While the two were strolling around pushing a shopping cart, Qin Qiong, Wu Tianxi, and Xiong Kuohai from the Sui and Tang Dynasties were sitting in a restaurant eating. Opposite them, a man in his thirties was chattering away:
"Ill-gotten gains are all obtained by the emperor. If you don't rob them, it will be in vain. Second Brother Qin, why don't you three stop thinking about it? This is a big deal with huge profits. I won't tell ordinary people..."
