Chapter 254 Military Pay
After the crash, the mansion was empty, without even a ghost, let alone a person. Looking at the dust accumulated on the tables and chairs, it was clear that the people in this mansion had left for a while. They asked around in the city, but there was no one. No one knows the whereabouts of those from the Zeng family.

The cronies returned in vain, but General Zuo Hu, who was already on fire, fainted from anger.

The military doctor hurried over, administered needles and administered medicines, rescued him all night, and managed to save General Zuo Hu's life, but he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed. How could he continue to lead the army in such a situation.

The third prince had not been happy for a long time when he received bad news one after another, and was almost so out of breath that he passed out. Thinking of the tragedy of General Zuo Hu, he dared not faint. He vented his anger and ordered people to start raising military salaries. Others took over an army of .

There was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the refugees ran away. The only way to raise military camps was from the royal family, the nobles, the gentry, the wealthy businessmen, and everyone was not so cooperative when it came to their own interests, so they started playing football. The businessman paid more, and the businessman was so frightened that he fled overnight. In just one day, more than half of them ran out.

I don't know which direction these people are going, and the third prince can't stop him, his headache is splitting, and he is afraid that the rest of the people will also run away, so he hurriedly ordered to refute the rumors.

However, the problem came back again. Someone gave the third prince a bad idea, asking everyone to secretly inform, whoever collects more people will get more money, and those with weaker families will get less money.

The third prince actually agreed, so the various families started digging pits for each other, exposing each other's bottom line, and told all the black, rotten and stinky things.

Qiu Jingming also watched a big play, but he was not idle while watching the play. He copied all his secrets and accumulated a thick book, which might be handed down as an unofficial history!

When he returned to Fengguzhai, Tangning was lying comfortably in the study room, her whole body seemed boneless, she was tearing at the pages of the book, her eyes half-closed, seeing Qiu Jingming enter the room, she immediately regained her spirits and sat up abruptly. "How is it? How far is it now?"

Qiu Jingming handed over the notebook he had been copying for a day, and it seemed to be Tangning's main tool for entertainment now.

Tangning got the notebook as if she had acquired some treasure. She didn't let go, and said happily, "Finally, I can pass the time."

Qiu Jingming laughed and shook his head, sat down and drank a glass of water and said: "The third prince is treacherous, has no talent, no virtue, and incompetence. He has no ambitions, and it is difficult for him to be a big responsibility. Even if I am not an official, I know that if this continues, Jiangnan will definitely be completely messed up. Once Jiangnan If it is messed up, Da Zhou will completely cease to exist!"

Qiu Jingming's eyes were a little sad. He never thought that he would see his country go to ruin with his own eyes. This kind of mood is still very complicated.

Tangning didn't have these feelings, and even gloated a little, "I've long since disliked the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's good news for the common people to change the dynasty and put virtuous people in power."

Qiu Jingming shook his head, "How can it be so easy, the royal family of the Great Zhou is gone, Qiu Laogou is in power, a traitor, he is not as good as the third prince!"

Tangning took a sip of the tea and sprayed it, and laughed, "Why do you have to be taller than the short ones?"

As she said that, she restrained her smile, and said seriously: "Dazhou's energy is exhausted, and it will be destroyed sooner or later, but even so, it will definitely not belong to Old Dog Qiu."

"Why do you see it?" Qiu Jingming suddenly realized after asking, and immediately his heart froze, his expression became more solemn, "You mean that nobleman also has this kind of heart?"

Thinking of that possibility, Qiu Jingming only felt his heart beating wildly, and only now realized that he might have been seeking skin from a tiger before, but fortunately, the other party didn't care about such a small person like him.

"What are you panicking about!" Tangning chuckled, and continued to lie back casually, muttering, "Maybe he didn't have this kind of heart in the beginning, but things became more and more absurd later on, and he probably couldn't sit still anymore. He even ordered me to increase the production of soy sauce, saying that it was sold to Jiangnan and Xijing, and Wang Hu is also doing business on that line, which obviously has something to do with the prefect. What is it to have that heart?"

Qiu Jingming was still contemplating, but Tangning said in relief, "However, we don't need to worry about these things. If the sky falls, there will be a taller one to hold us up! As long as we stay out of the Chaozhou border, we will be safe and sound. Instead of thinking about those things, help me Thinking about how to expand the production of soy sauce!"

She has been worrying about this matter for two days. Unfortunately, during this period of time, there was a hurricane in Lingnan, that is, a typhoon. Farmers were so worried that their crops would be ruined. Fortunately, the hailstorm was not heavy, and it stopped after a while, and then it rained as big as beans. After a long period of silence, the wind began to howl.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tangning's body can be taken away by the wind when she goes out. Only now did she realize why the people here are so willing to use materials to build houses, not just to fend off pirates, but more to fight against Such extreme weather.

It took three days for the hurricane to gradually weaken. Even so, the wind and rain did not stop. Jiang and the others, who had never seen a hurricane, dared not even leave their rooms.

However, it was just a report of safety. After that, everyone stayed at home again, planning to wait for the hurricane to pass before going out.

Tangning was also ordered not to go out by the old man Qiu. She knew that the old man was really frightened this time. In order to make the old man Qiu feel at ease, she insisted on acting like a housewife who never left the house.

Just because she doesn't go out doesn't mean that others won't come to her. I don't know the government sent someone to inform her to increase the production of soy sauce. At this time, she doesn't even know what's going on in the back mountain. Where can I get it? They increased production, but really worried bad.

Qiu Jingming smiled and said, "If you're worried about the situation in the future, why don't I go and have a look now?"

Tangning hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and said, "Although the wind and rain have calmed down a bit, it's different on the mountain. You should be more worried. If you find something wrong, get out immediately."

Qiu Jingming responded one by one, and a flash appeared on the top of the back mountain. At this time, the top of the mountain was really windy and rainy. It rained heavily for several days in a row. flooded.

The large vat for brewing soy sauce stood steadily in the wind and rain, without breaking or falling over. The top was covered with hemp rope and many things, and the big stone was pressed against it, so the rain did not flow in and was not affected at all.

After checking all the tanks, Qiu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to walk down the mountain for a while, but before he had gone a few steps, he was blocked by fallen trees and rocks, so he had to use secret techniques to go back.
