saltworks.

Ye Jun appeared, and soon two figures walked out of the salt field and hurriedly appeared in front of Ye Jun.

"I am the subordinate of Chen Wansan, Li Dainian, pay homage to the prince."

Ye Jun raised his hand slightly and signaled the two of them to get up. Chen Wansan said in a deep voice: "The prince is here, what's wrong?"

"It's true that there's something to come to you. Jubao Chamber of Commerce has been operating for a while. Do you know saltpeter?"

Chen Wansan looked at Ye Jun with a confused look on his face, "Prince, what is saltpeter?"

Ye Jun originally wanted to find saltpeter to make ice, but when he saw Chen Wansan's confused look, he knew that he must have never heard of saltpeter.

Then, he poked a note from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Wansan: "Let the Chamber of Commerce find the things on the note, how many kings want."

Chen Wansan took the note and hurriedly said, "I'll do it now."

Looking at his leaving back, Ye Jun also turned around and left. There was no saltpeter now, and his idea of ​​making ice can only be temporarily stranded.

In fact, Ye Jun knew where there was saltpeter, but he would definitely not be able to find it back for a while.

.............

One month later.

This day.

The prince sent an eunuch to Xishan to inform Ye Jun that the King of Wei had appeared in Yongzhou once, and his whereabouts were unknown afterwards.

Ye Jun was a little suspicious. Why did King Wei appear in Yongzhou? Is he going to escape to the Dongman? This operation is really puzzling.

Shortly after the eunuch left, the people sent by Lu Bu appeared in Ye Jun's courtyard.

Xiao He wrote a letter in person, which mentioned the abnormal movement of the Dongman people, and it seemed that there was a large-scale military operation.

Next to the stone table.

Ye Jun put the letter on the stone desk and raised his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, the first person to act was Dongman.

After the end of the Xishan War, Xia Kingdom suffered a heavy blow, especially with less than 30 people left in Long Ying, he had long guessed that the nations would definitely raise troops.

I thought that the Bei Qin must be the first to be the one who was hit, but now the Dongman is the first to jump out.

Xiao He mentioned in the letter that the Dongman gathered at least 200,000 troops, and currently only 50,000 defenders in Yongzhou City.

Although there was no request for help, Ye Jun understood that it was 50,000 defenders, and it would be difficult to stop the 200,000 cavalry of the Eastern Barbarians, even if Lu Bu was in charge.

When the Four Kingdoms were discussing martial arts, Dongman hid his strength, and he always remembered it in his heart.

The overlord of the grassland, the Eastern Barbarians have always been warlike and brave. With 200,000 iron cavalrymen at the city, Lu Bu was under a lot of pressure.

Will the Dongman Xingzhang have anything to do with the King of Wei?

Think about this.

Ye Jun looked back at Daji, "Love Concubine, prepare the pen and ink for me!"

Regardless of whether the Dongman Xingjian had anything to do with the King of Wei, this war was inevitable. At this time, we need to report to the prince first and write a letter to Yue Fei, asking him to send someone to Yongzhou City to assist Lu Bu.

At present, Xin Qiji, Ma Chao, Yang Zaixing, and Dian Wei are all in the northern border, so it is time for them to go to the eastern border.

Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, Xin Qiji, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun who stayed in the imperial capital, the three of them went to Yongzhou.

In addition, Lu Bu is the four powerful generals. When Dongman meets the four of them, Xiao He will give advice, Dongman will definitely not get any benefits.

A while.

Daji sent me a pen and ink, and Ye Jun was at his desk and wrote quickly. Soon, he handed over the written letter to Wei Zhuang and asked him to go to the background in person and handed it to Yue Fei.

.............

At dusk, the breeze is clear.

There was finally a hint of coolness in the stuffy air.

In the courtyard.

Ye Jun sat upright in front of the stone table, holding a knife and carving wooden blocks. He looked very focused, and Daji on one side was fascinated by the sight.

The most charming man who is serious is the most charming.

Especially a handsome and serious man like Ye Jun, it is even more intoxicating.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came. Daji looked in the sound and saw Gao De enter the courtyard, "Prince, Eunuch Gao is here."

Ye Jun put down the carving knife and wooden blocks in his hand, patted the wood chips on his hand, "Why are your father-in-law here? Is there anything wrong with my father asking me for?"

Gao Dedao: "Prince, the prince is here, Your Majesty invites you to come with you."

Ye Jun slowly stood up and sorted out his clothes, "Let's go over!"

soon.

The two appeared in the alley of Xia Huang's courtyard. From a distance, they saw Jin Longwei surrounding the courtyard. Ye Jun looked at Gao De, "Father-in-law, it's been more than a month, how has the father recovered?"

Gao De shook his head, "I don't know."

Ye Jun was not asking, and the two walked towards the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, Emperor Xia and the prince were sitting under the ancient tree and talking. Suddenly, they saw the two of them coming. Emperor Xia raised his hand slightly and signaled Ye Jun to sit down, "Jun'er, it's been a month, why don't you come to see me?"

Ye Jun said: "The father is recuperating and needs purity. My sons dare not disturb him."

Xia Huang said: "What are you busy with recently? I heard from the princess that you asked the people in the village to clear the land in Xishan, and you have reclaimed the entire open space in Xishan."

"Yes, I'm idle anyway, so it's great to farm." Ye Jun sat beside the prince and said slowly.

This moment.

Just look at the prince's eyes that can kill people, as if he was saying, "You third brother, I will ask you to go back to Beijing to help." If you don't agree, you stay in the West Mountain farm."

The prince knew that with Ye Jun’s talent, governing the country and peace in the world would be no problem.

Ye Jun glanced at the prince, "Why did the emperor suddenly come to the west? Is there something important to ask the father to discuss?"

The prince said: "The third brother, General Huwei of Yongzhou, sent an urgent report. The Dongman secretly assembled 200,000 troops and was ready to arrive at Yongzhou City at all times."

Ye Jun thought to himself that Xiao He was doing things well and sent the news to him and the palace one after another, which would save a lot of trouble.

"The father and the emperor mean......"

Emperor Xia said: "Jun'er, Yongzhou City is your territory. The war is coming. You should go back and take charge of yourself."

Ye Jun raised his sword eyebrows and said indifferently: "Father, it's enough to have General Huwei to guard the city, but my son's minister should just stay in the West Mountain to farm."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued, "Besides, I set out from the West Mountain and rushed to Yongzhou City, the war had already begun."

Emperor Xia glared at Ye Jun, "You, do you want to plant a land in Xishan for the rest of your life?"

Ye Jun smiled and said, "It's not good to farm, and it's good for the country and the people. Did the father forget that the northern border is short of food, and the potatoes grown by the sons are used for a big purpose."

"This time my master came back, and brought some new seeds to me. I will cultivate them in the West Mountain."

Emperor Xia's eyes lit up and he slowly spoke, "Since you want to cultivate new food, don't go to the war in Yongzhou."

In the past, there was a shortage of food and grass. If Ye Jun had not transported potatoes from the West Mountain, facing the surprise attack of the Northern Qin army, the northern border would have suffered heavy losses...

Emperor Xia still feels excited when he thinks of potatoes with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu. For Xia, the appearance of potatoes is definitely a treasure for enriching the country and strengthening the people.
