"You are so cruel that you even have to use your own children!"

"This is not a use, but for your mother and daughter. This child has Khitan blood and will definitely not be accommodated, even if he is my child..."

Guo Hao has seen too many brothers kill each other, and he will definitely leave many foundations in the future. Only the eldest son with pure blood can inherit it. He does not want to leave hidden dangers.

"You really have the heart to abandon our orphans and widows and let us survive in the pack of wolves?"

"I will send someone to help you secretly. As long as your tribe and Huiba tribe develop steadily, it will rise sooner or later. I will do this for your future."

Guo Hao is actually very afraid of the Jurchen tribe, but if this tribe can be in the hands of his son, that would be another matter.

"I know what you think. You are really ambitious, but what if I don't tell him that you are his father, or if he is a girl?"

girl……

Guo Hao didn't expect this. If it were a girl, it would be impossible for him to inherit the tribe. It would be cruel to them to let their mother and daughter live in that environment.

"If it were a girl, I would take you back. I would take care of you mother and daughter and would not let you suffer any more.

As for whether you tell him who his father is, it doesn’t matter. I have ways to prove myself in the future. Maybe he will live a good life if he doesn’t recognize me."

After Guo Hao finished speaking, Abuli smiled.

After all, she had too many fantasies and thought that a child could change a person, but she didn't know that Guo Hao was thinking more.

"Okay, I promise you that if this is a boy, I will try my best to make him the patriarch, but I have a condition!"

“What conditions?”

"When you arrive that day, I want you to give me a title!"

"What a day?"

"You don't have to ask too much, you just have to promise me!"

"All right."

Although Guo Hao was a little confused, he still agreed. Aburi stopped saying anything and turned around and walked towards the county town. Guo Hao was worried after all, and sent someone to protect her secretly.

Abuli returned to the county town, met with other warriors, and told them about Wanyan's death. When everyone arrived, they saw that Wanyan's body was covered in wounds and was no longer in human form.

Aburi was a little scared, and the bright red color made her dizzy. She only stabbed her with one stab, so why did she become like this?

Of course, Guo Hao did this, and the purpose was to protect Abuli. Abuli killed Wanyan's wife with a dagger, and the fatal injury was in his chest, which could be seen by smart people.

So he slashed Wanyan's body a few more times, with the purpose of confusing others. There is no professional forensic doctor these days, so no one should have suspected Abuli.

Aburi was picked up. When she woke up, she was already on the road. She lifted the curtain and looked at Nanfang, thinking silently in her heart.

"Guo Hao, I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise I will make you regret it!"

After Aburi left, Guo Hao sent someone to follow them secretly, and he was not in the mood to continue visiting Datong, but returned to the camp.

As the news continued to be passed back, it was confirmed that there was no abnormal movement in the Khitan, but Guo Hao did not rush back to Jinyang, but instead led the army to start suppressing bandits everywhere.

Compared with the Khitan army, the bandits in Hedong are much more fragile. Some bandits resist stubbornly and are directly crushed by Guo Hao, while others fled in sight, so Guo Hao sent cavalry to pursue them.

Some surrendered directly, and Guo Hao's purpose was this. He immediately organized the young and strong into the army and confiscated the money, grain and property of the parody. The bandits in Hedong were cleared up, and Guo Hao had two thousand more troops.

After walking around, it was almost the New Year, Guo Hao took the army back to Jinyang. At this time, his army was different from before, and there were some changes.

Guo Hao led his troops and always emphasized discipline and obeying orders. The duty of a soldier is to obey and obey commands when fighting.

Repeated emphasis, coupled with Guo Hao's frequent brainwashing and small rewards, Guo Hao continues to promote their deeds, which gradually made Guo Hao's army popular.

Guo Hao's prestige is also accumulating bit by bit, from asking the court for food at the beginning to resolutely not increasing taxes. Now he has led his troops north to stop the Khitan invasion, and later he has led his troops to suppress bandits and eliminate bandit troubles in the territory.

Guo Wei was also very cooperative in this. He first gave him some food, and then suppressed a lot of memorials to participate in him, allowing him to do it himself. He wanted to see if Guo Hao had the ability to govern the area.

The gains of the bandit suppression can barely make up for the cost of sending troops. He seemed to have been in vain and did not gain any credit, but the people began to recognize him.

...

Bianliang City, the imperial palace.

"Liu Song, is this the black charcoal sent by Guo Hao? It looks no different from ordinary charcoal!"

"Reply to Your Majesty, Lord Guo said that this thing is called coal, and it is much better than charcoal when burned. Why don't you just order a few pieces of it?"

"Then try."

Liu Song waved his hand when he heard this. At this time, several eunuchs walked in from outside the palace, holding a few strange things in their hands, and Guo Wei looked at it fresh.

"What is this?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, Lord Guo called it the stove, which is used with coal. Look at these long buckets, which can not only prevent the smoke from spreading, but also dissipate heat."

Liu Song said, starting to install a stove for Guo Wei as stated in Guo Hao's letter. Guo Hao only sent two sets this time. He tried one set, which was very useful and ignited the items and it was warm in the room.

Soon the stove was assembled. Liu Song first put some wooden blocks, then put some pine needles, then pressed the coals on them, and asked someone to bring a pottery jar and add some water to it.

The best wood and pine needles quickly ignited the coal. Guo Wei looked at the fire in the stove and found it very interesting.

"How long can this thing last? It does smell different from charcoal."

"By your Majesty, this furnace of coal and wood test can be burned for more than half an hour. During this period, three cans of boiling water were boiled, which was just right for making tea."

"It's really so naoyao?"

"Yes, if your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can watch it yourself. Lord Guo said that this stove can not only boil water, but also cook vegetables!"

...

"Come on Yuen Long, don't just eat food. This meat is good. It will get hot in a while and it will be no longer delicious!"

In the Jinzhou Governor's Mansion, the brothers and others gathered around a stove to eat hot pot. The outside was icy and snowy, but the room was very warm.

"Hiss, brother, where did you eat this way? This mutton is so good. I have never eaten such delicious meat before."

"Hahaha, this is called hot pot, it was found during the Three Kingdoms period. Bai Juyi's poem "Ask Liu Shijiu" in the Tang Dynasty: "Green ants, fresh wine, red mud, small stove. When you come to the evening, you will be able to drink a cup without a drink?" The small stove in it is about this.

But our stove is not small, and it does not burn carbon, but coal. This coal is much more banned than charcoal. Oh, it's muddy, hurry up and catch it..."

In order to develop the local economy, Guo Hao spent a lot of effort to build an army, but he did not forget to develop resources.

He first built several coal mines, and then built an iron mine. The coal from the coal mine was sent to all parts of the country. It was winter and it was very popular to sell with a stove. It was just too difficult to transport, so the cost was too high. However, people who could afford coal were not short of money.

In addition to producing furnaces, iron ore also has agricultural tools and weapons. All the weapons were transported to Bianliang as his taxes to the court. Guo Wei was meaningless and very happy.

With these two industries, Hedong's economy has gradually recovered, coal has brought the circulation of money and can also be exchanged for some food. The taxes in Hedong have been collected by Guo Hao, most of which are grain and used as military rations.

Several mines are currently not large in scale and are directly managed by the military, but Guo Hao believes that these mines will grow bigger sooner or later, and Guo Hao has another way to make money.

In less than half a year, Guo Hao had done so many things. Guo Wei understood that although this kid could do anything, he was indeed very capable. Guo Yongning came to him several times and said that Li Fu had promised to persuade Guo Hao for him, and was even willing to commit herself to be a concubine, hoping that Guo Hao would come back.

Guo Wei's anger was also relieved at this time and he also thought about some things. He had not figured out Guo Hao's temper before, so he obviously had to be soft but not hard.

He forced Guo Hao before, but he would rather die than follow him. If Guo Yongning asked him to try it himself, it might have unexpected results.

"I heard that boy has a good time in Hedong. After the New Year, you can go and see him. I don't feel at ease to hand over Hedong to others. As long as you can convince him, I will give you a marriage."

Guo Wei planned to let Guo Yongning come forward in person. Although Guo Yongning was shy, he still agreed...
