In addition to this matter, Xu Shu also told Lin Bei that Huang Chengyan already knew his identity, and that the old man was very interested in Lin Bei, and was going to come to Lurong County, which is now Wanghai City, to meet Lin Beiyi Fan.
"Huang Chengyan?"
Of course Lin Bei knew Huang Chengyan, he was a celebrity, but Huang Chengyan's fame seemed to come from his daughter, Huang Yueying.
If Huang Yueying is not Kong Ming's wife, Huang Yueying should be unknown in history. Similarly, if Huang Chengyan is not Kong Ming's father-in-law, he may also be unknown, because Huang Chengyan's deeds are too few. Anyway, Lin Bei thought about it. I can't think of Huang Chengyan's deeds. He has never fought a war, he has never been a counselor to others, and he has never been a teacher to any famous person. His resume is almost blank.
However, Lin Bei thinks that Huang Chengyan must have some talents. It is said that a tiger father has no dogs. Huang Yueying is so talented. He is a bit of a father. At the same time, Lin Bei is very interested in Huang Chengyan's purpose of coming to Wanghai City , what does he want to do here?
An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji also read the letter, but An Zhongzhi didn't know Huang Chengyan's name, but Bian Ji was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Chengyan is coming to Wanghai City?"
"Master, do you know this person's deeds?" Lin Bei asked.
"Cheng Yangong is a well-known person in Jingxiang, and the Huang family is also a big family in Jingxiang. It's just that the members of the Huang family are withered, and now they are a bit decadent, but this person is very famous in Jingxiang. He has a cheerful and humorous personality. This person can make friends with him, most of the Huang family is supported by Cheng Yangong."
"What will this Huang Chengyan do?"
Bian Ji said: "Mr. Chengyan is a talented person, ten times better than students. If Mr. Chengyan really comes, you must keep this person, with his ability. There are more than enough prefects in a state."
"Prefect?" Lin Bei noticed that Bian Ji referred to the prefect, not the governor, which meant that Huang Chengyan was good at internal affairs and not very proficient in military affairs.
"Of course."
"Whether he can stay or not depends on whether he is willing to stay." Lin Beidao: "If he is willing, of course I want to keep him."
Bian Ji smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. If the student's expectations are not bad, Cheng Yangong's coming here means that he has the intention to contribute."
"Oh, why is that?"
"Yuan Zhi and Huang Yueying are married. I hope that the Huang family in Wanghai City and Jingxiang is the best friend of Qin and Jin. The Huang family is now dying. As far as the students know, Huang Chengyan has no heirs. In this situation. Zhi is the only male in the Huang family, and Yuan Zhi is the pillar of my Wanghai City. How can the Huang family not take it seriously? As long as the adults can satisfy Cheng Yangong and think that the adults are worth following, the Huang family will definitely follow the adults .”
Bian Ji's words are indeed reasonable. Continuing the prosperity of the family is a major event for all families, even more important than whoever becomes the emperor. If Xu Shu and Huang Yueying get married.Then Xu Shu became the pillar of the Huang family, and Xu Shu's choice was crucial.Now that Xu Shu is Lin Bei's general, Huang Chengyan probably came here for the purpose of investigation. If he thinks Lin Bei is worth following, the Huang family will join Lin Bei. If Lin Bei is not worth following, maybe the marriage will be ruined.After returning, Huang Chengyan will notify the prefectures and counties to arrest Xu Shu.
"Although the Huang family is a bit run down now, it is Jingxiang after all, and they are good friends with Mr. Shui Jing and Pound. You can come and go to the Confucian school at will, my lord. As long as Cheng Yangong can serve you, as long as you are in front of those Confucian scholars Say a few words for your lord, these students will definitely look to Wanghai City with their hearts, if Yuan Zhi works harder, five out of ten of these students will be in the pocket of your lord, and Wanghai will prosper, just around the corner."
Lin Bei was reminded by Bian Ji and nodded immediately. Although he hated the family a little bit, he had to admit that the family had a great influence, and celebrities had a great influence too. As long as these celebrities could say a few good things about Lin Bei, The difficulty of recruiting talents can be greatly reduced. These talents are ready-made. If Lin Bei trains himself, it will take more than ten years.
Thinking of this, Lin Bei immediately said: "Immediately write a letter to Yuan Zhi, let him communicate more with those students in the Confucian school, and it would be best to bring back some good talents in the future."
"promise."
"In addition, Huang Chengyan may have sent a large ship to patrol around Jiaozhi on the way to Wanghai City. If he finds this person, he will bring him back and treat him with courtesy."
"promise."
In the following ten days, Wanghai City was still recuperating. The new season's rice seeds had been sown, the road had been repaired to the mouth of the narrow valley in the Changshan Mountains, and the transfer station had been built fifty miles toward this side, adding up to about 150 miles. , only more than 250 miles of road have not been paved yet.
Coconuts on the coconut trees are beginning to grow again. The maturity period of coconuts is almost one year. Coconuts will mature again in June and July next year. This time, there will be much more coconuts on the coconut trees than in the first year. , next year will definitely be a bumper harvest.
The salt field has now accumulated nearly [-] catties of refined salt. When Zhen Ping left last time, he agreed to come every three months. Now it has only been two months. When Zhen Ping comes, the amount of refined salt should reach [-] catties. .
When sending a sergeant to inspect the waters around Jiaozhi, Huang Chengyan did not receive it, but the sergeant sent back a news that surprised Lin Bei, that is, the Changshan Suspension Bridge between Jiuzhen County and Jiaozhi County has been erected again. Hearing the news, Lin Bei broke out in a cold sweat immediately.
"The suspension bridge has been erected again?" Lin Bei asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"
But the news brought back by the sergeant must be correct. The suspension bridge that was cut off after Lin Bei retreated was erected again, and the suspension bridges on dozens of hills were also erected, but the sergeant also sent another one. The news is that there are no yellow scarves near Changshan hundreds of miles away.
Lin Bei hurriedly found Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi, and told them the news. Hearing the news, Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi were also shocked. Although the development momentum of Wanghai City is now rapid, there are steam vehicles, tanks and chariots With high technology such as steamships, but the number of people is still too small, if you want to fight the Yellow Turbans of Cochin, the chance of winning is quite small.
"My lord, since the barbarian re-erected the suspension bridge, he probably wanted to attack my Wanghai City, so why is there no Yellow Turban army around Changshan?" After calming down, Bian Ji asked suspiciously.
"I am also very puzzled. I have informed the sergeant to patrol Jiuzhen and Jiaozhi. If there is a yellow scarf army, I will report it immediately. Zhong Zhi, notify He Ming, so that the sergeant will never leave his body. Sleep without taking off his clothes, and be ready to fight at any time. In addition, immediately inform Zhang Cheng in Linjiang City to prepare for the battle."
An Zhongzhi hurried down to prepare.
Now the Haka tribe will definitely not be able to fight. Wanghaicheng dispatched sergeants and warships to patrol Yujiuzhen and Nichinan day and night. Five tank soldiers also drove to the outpost camp, and they did not turn off day and night.Always ready to fight the Yellow Turban.
Lin Bei also asked the craftsman to put on the repaired Dawei Dragon King Armor. As long as there is news of the yellow scarf, he can immediately set off and rush to the front line.
Under this kind of vigilance, after three days, Lin Bei was relieved by the report of the sergeants, because there was no trace of the Yellow Turban in Jiuzhen County, and naturally there was no trace at sea.There was no movement from the Yellow Turban on the Cochin side, obviously not planning to fight a big battle.After reassuring, Lin Bei felt strange.
"Is the barbarian so idle? How much manpower and material resources will it take to rebuild those dozens of suspension bridges? Even if Wanghai is not attacked, at least they must send troops to garrison them, but just forget about it once they are erected?"
Lin Bei really couldn't figure it out, and neither could Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi.Subsequently, the sergeants cut off the suspension bridge again, and the combat readiness was naturally lifted.
"What is that barbarian going to do?" Lin Bei asked Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi: "Do you just want me to wait for a false alarm?"
Bian Ji smiled wryly and said: "If this is the case, then the barbarian must have suddenly become stupid. The terrain of the dozens of suspension bridges in Changshan is so dangerous. It takes tens of thousands of people to rebuild the suspension bridge. Let me wait for a false alarm, the barbarian should not be so unwise."
"If not, how do you explain the situation at hand?"
"Could it be that the barbarians had contact with the indigenous people around the Mekong River? The suspension bridge is only for those indigenous people?"
"What do the natives have that is worth the effort of the barbarian? Now that the barbarian is sitting in the South Vietnam border, what can't they have? This explanation doesn't make sense either."
After thinking about it for several days, Lin Bei and the others were thinking hard, but they still couldn't figure it out. In the end, they could only give up, thinking that the barbarian had a convulsion in his head, and that's why they did such thankless things.
Time passed in such a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, more than half of October in the first year of Zhongping had passed. On this day, the sergeant came to report that the military ship had received Huang Chengyan, and now it was heading towards Wanghai City. The next day can be reached.
"How many people did Huang Chengyan bring?"
"Only one follower."
Lin Bei smiled: "This celebrity is quite courageous, he dared to come to Wanghai City with only one entourage."
Bian Ji smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng Yan is showing his magnanimity. After all, we and the Huang family are good friends of Qin and Jin."
"Since Huang Chengyan has come from a long way, as the master, naturally he can't be rude, let's give this Duke Chengyan a surprise tomorrow, come..."
...
Huang Chengyan looked out of the boat leisurely, with side dishes in front of him, and a jug of wine in his hand, while watching and drinking a few sips, the people around couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.
"Mr. Cheng Yan, please go ashore." The captain came and invited Huang Chengyan to go ashore.
Huang Chengyan looked outside the boat, and said with some doubts: "Wanghai City has arrived? Why didn't you see the city?"
"Oh, this place is still more than two hundred miles away from Wanghai City, and I need to change to a steam car." Huang Chengyan couldn't find fault with the captain's attitude. Lin Bei said that he should treat each other with courtesy, and the captain naturally followed it strictly.
"In that case, the guests do as they please, Huang San, let's get on the boat." Huang Chengyan greeted his entourage, and just as he got off the boat, Huang Chengyan suddenly turned around: "What kind of carriage did you just mention? A carriage?"
"The steam car is not a horse-drawn carriage. It is a kind of fetish developed by the adults. It can run without animal power and can travel thousands of miles a day." The captain said with admiration.
Another god, or this dragon god, Huang Chengyan was muttering in his heart, after a long talk with Xu Shu, Huang Chengyan was really interested in the Dragon God that Xu Shu said, he never imagined that there really is such a monster in this world, Knowing what people say and what people are doing is true, which is why Huang Chengyan wants to see it for himself. Huang Chengyan believes in his own eyes even more.
Huang San helped Huang Chengyan ashore. This place has not been developed by Wanghai City, so it looks very desolate, but a stone road can be seen in the distance, and there is already a strange car parked on the stone road. There was still black smoke rising suddenly, Huang Chengyan squinted his eyes and asked the captain: "Is that a steam car?"
"Yes, it is the steam car."
