Chapter 1148 Parcel
Thoughts on his origins, the Governor of Anyi sent people to bring farming tools to him, which made Chu Huan feel a little relieved, but what made him even more happy was that he was transporting farming tools from the West Mountain, Wang Han and Pang Liu under Wei Tianqing's command.
Wang Han and Pang Liu escorted Su Bo and his group to Shuoquan. Before leaving, Chu Huan told them that they hoped that they could come to Xiguan to help him, and even sent a letter to Wei Tianqing specifically.
But there was no news later, so Chu Huan didn't take it seriously. This time the two of them were responsible for transporting the ploughing tools, and Lian Jiaxiao brought them together. Chu Huan immediately understood the two of them. They brought Wei Tianqing's letter, but they did not say that they would call Wang Han and Chu Huan under Chu Huan's command.
Chu Huan knew in his heart that this was Wei Tianqing's intention. Wei Tianqing obviously knew that Chu Huan had not trusted people at Xiguan. After all, Wang Han and the other two had followed Chu Huan and were considered old friends. It was a good thing to work in Xiguan. As for Wang Han and the other two themselves, they would not have the opportunity to be promoted. When they arrived at Chu Huan's subordinates, they would naturally have much better treatment.
Chu Huan did not disappoint the two. Previously, the four camps of the Imperial Guards were handed over to commander Xu Shao, and the Huo camp was handed over to Chu Wushuang, but there was no suitable leader in Linziying and Shanziying.
Now that these two people came over, Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Wang Han and his men's command talent were quite different from Xu Shao and Lang Wazi, Chu Huan understood that since these two people arrived in Xiguan, they could only rely on themselves as their backers, and their loyalty to themselves was beyond doubt. As their personal army, the Imperial Guards must appoint generals who were loyal to them. As for the condition of loyalty, there was no problem with these two people.
Wang Han has a calm and cautious personality. Chu Huan has always admired him very much. He also felt that Pei Ji, who will command the Imperial Guard in the future, is the soul of Pei Ji, who is the soul of the Imperial Guard. He is well aware of military law. In terms of military terms, he may not have the ability to turn decay into magic. If Wang Han and the other two are handed to him, they may not be able to train them to become qualified generals.
For this, Chu Huan personally led the two to the military camp. Pei Ji had nothing to say, saying that he would let the two train according to the previous special training method of selecting soldiers. As long as he could undergo the special training method, the soldiers would naturally not have any extra words.
Wang Han and the other two were in their prime. After all, they were also generals from the Yunshan Imperial Guard. Although the special training method was harsh, they passed it one by one under the personal supervision of Chu Huan and Pei Ji.
Pei Ji has actually been considering the candidates. Since Chu Huan has sent people over and the two of them have not disappointed, he no longer hesitated and appointed Pang Liu as the commander of Linziying, while Wang Han as the commander of Shanziying.
Wang Han and the other two were soaring into the sky. When they first arrived in the northwest, they were naturally full of joy even after rising several levels.
Chu Huan sometimes feels that the real superiors may not really do everything themselves, but usually do everything themselves. Either they are overenergized or the people under their command are not reliable.
As a governor, when he first heard that he was in command of the four states, he seemed to have a lot of time and could not have free time. He was in his position. However, Chu Huan felt that it was not necessarily necessary to talk about fatigue, but it depends on how to sit in this position.
The northwest is not considered a brilliant person, but there are quite a few people with talent. If you can do your best and people can do your best, many things will become easier. The military has Pei Ji and Xuanyuan Shengcai, and the government affairs are led by Gongsun Chu. In terms of logistics, Du Fugong and Linlang's cooperation complement each other. The operation of the salt road is very smooth. The supply of salt in various prefectures and counties in Xiguan is no longer a problem. The salt wasteland that the people were worried about before was solved at least in the land of Xiguan.
Chu Huan mainly coordinates in the center, but the benefits brought by Xinyan really satisfy Chu Huan. Although the salt road in Xiguan has been opened for a short time and the price is very low under the control of the government, the demand for salt is indeed too high, both high-ranking officials and poor people cannot be lacking, so the New Salt Bureau can make a lot of profits every day.
The new salt was not only sold in Xiguan, but the salt store that Linlang collected also penetrated into Beishan and Tianshan as quickly as possible. Although he knew that the salt was transported from Xiguan, the salt transported to the northwest within the pass was getting less and less. People had to eat salt. The supply within the pass was insufficient, so they could only rely on the new salt in Xiguan. Even though Zhu Lingyue hated Chu Huan to the core, even though he knew that Chu Huan would gain huge benefits from the new salt, he did not dare to easily block the Xiguan Salt Road in Tianshan.
The reason is very simple. Even if Chu Huan's new salt is not sold in Tianshan, the Xiguan and Beishan markets alone are enough to make Chu Huan live very well. Once Tianshan blocks the salt road, it will have disadvantages or benefits to Tianshan. Zhu Lingyue knows this better than anyone else.
In fact, Zhu Lingyue was not worried that the new salt from Xiguan would enter Tianshan. Instead, one day, when Tianshan was in short supply of salt, Xiguan would increase the price of salt in Tianshan, and even directly did not provide salt to Tianshan. This was a great worry for Zhu Lingyue. He knew that Chu Huan used salt to obtain income from Tianshan, but he could not take the initiative to cut off Chu Huan's salt road.
He had already sent someone to find out the news that the new salt produced in Xiguan was said to have been extracted from the cold stones, but the guards in Xiguan's salt making field were extremely strict. Zhu Lingyue sent several waves of people to get the method of making salt, but they all returned in vain.
Moreover, Zhu Lingyue clearly understood the fact that even if he obtained the method of salt making, Tianshan would not produce a large amount of salt like Xiguan. The reason is very simple. Although cold stones are the most common thing in the northwest mountains, this kind of resource is very rare in Tianshan. This mineral that was once extremely neglected by people, its important production is mainly concentrated in Xiguan.
The distribution of cold stones in the northwest is nearly 70% of Xiguan, and part of the distribution of Beishan Mountain, while the Tianshan Mountains are less than 10%.
This made Zhu Lingyue extremely upset. If he had known that cold stones had such a role, he should have mined and transported them to Tianshan Mountains with the cold stones in Xiguan. Now he is regretful. Because the cold stones have great value, Chu Huan has long issued a decree to prohibit anyone from mining cold stones privately. All the cold stones in Xiguan are subject to officials. Not to mention that they were smuggled into cold stones, even if they were mined privately, they would bear huge culprits.
Qiu Ruxu and his group sent Zhang Shuquan and his son to the border of Tianshan and handed them over to the Tianshan defenders stationed on the border. Then the Tianshan defenders immediately escorted Zhang Shuquan and his son to Shazhou Prefecture City.
Qiu Ruxue carried forward the tradition of lone heroes and asked his subordinates to return to Shuoquan first, but he disguised himself as he sneaked into Tianshan Mountains and even went directly to Shazhou Prefecture City.
He was very curious about how Zhu Lingyue would deal with the Zhang father and son.
It was not as he expected that Zhu Lingyue beheaded the Zhang family and his son in public, and even when Zhang Shuquan and his son were taken to the palace, they were silent.
The people did not know that the Zhang family and his son had been quietly taken back to Shazhou City, just as they did not know that the father and his son had evaporated from the world one night. If Qiu Ruyu had not been brave enough, it would be difficult to know that the father and his son had drunk the poison given by Zhu Lingyue, and their bodies were also quietly disposed of.
Zhu Lingyue never stings with his ruthlessness towards those who betray him.
When Chu Huan knew the whole story from Qiu Ru's blood, he just sighed lightly and didn't say too much.
For Chu Huan, there is something he cares about most recently, that is, the child in Lin Daier's belly. Lin Daier's belly is getting bigger and bigger and closer to her childbirth period.
Although Sun Boliu would take the pulse for Lin Daier every now and then prescribe medicine for Lin Daier to stabilize the fetus in his abdomen, after all, a woman with a big belly had many things to do. Chu Huan thought about it again and again, but in the end he took action first and then reported, and selected a smart little girl from the mansion to serve him.
Lin Daier didn't want the matter to be made public, so Chu Huan couldn't let the matter be publicized all over the world, so she repeatedly reminded the little girl not to say a word to the outside world, and even the people in the mansion were not allowed to reveal a word. Lin Daier didn't want anyone around her at the beginning, but since Chu Huan was sent here, and she did have many inconveniences, so she could only accept it.
Chu Huan knew that women must maintain a good attitude before giving birth, so she took time to accompany Lin Daier as much as possible. Although Lin Daier did not speak a word most of the time, Chu Huan did not care. Perhaps Lin Daier didn't like to talk, but she should not be disgusted with the father of the child before giving birth.
In addition to handling some government affairs and taking time to accompany Lin Daier, Governor Chu also took time to conduct a new study. The cold stone salt made him huge rewards. He hoped that the quartz sand found in the Xixia Cave could also change something. After all, as a time traveler, it may be a meaningful thing to leave something for the people of this era.
He specifically searched for a quiet yard, forbidden from entering, and he would take time to tinker in the yard for a while every day. No one knew what the Governor did in the yard. But every time he came out of it, everyone saw that the Governor looked dejected, and knew that no matter what the Governor did inside, he seemed to have failed.
Although the Governor was doing things in the house and ordered no one to disturb him, Qi Hong still plucked the Governor's gate on that day. A moment later, when he saw that the Governor opened the Governor's gate with his shirtlessness, his expression looked a little tired. Qi Hong was stunned, and Chu Huan asked lazily: "Is the sky falling?"
If the sky hadn't fallen, Qi Hong shouldn't have come and knocked on the door at this time.
Qi Hong looked up at the sky, but soon handed over a package he was carrying, "Du Chu, this..."
"What is this?" Chu Huan rubbed his hands, staring at the package in Qi Hong's hand with suspicion.
The package was inconspicuous, and Qi Hong had already explained: "Just just now, a little beggar ran to the mansion and delivered the package, saying that someone was going to give it to Duke Chu!"
"Little beggar?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Where is the person?"
"It's gone." Qi Hong said: "The package is not his. Someone gave him a tael of silver and sent him to send it here. Duke Chu, this matter is a bit strange, and he is accused of being afraid of delaying something, so...!"
Chu Huan was also a little curious. He took the package and it was very light. He opened the package, but there was only a wooden box inside. He held the wooden box. Chu Huan pondered slightly and said, "I understand, you go down first." He took the wooden box and returned to the yard. He was wondering, who brought this wooden box, and what was in the box?
