Great Wei Nengchen

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

The smoke rose, and the town finally became a little bit more lively. The people gathered around the iron pot, swallowing their saliva non-stop, with satisfied smiles on their faces. For the people of the Han family, as long as they can eat enough, they are living a happy life. ..., similarly, whoever can fill the stomachs of the common people is the king of the world!

"Woo! ... Woo! Woo!"

After a while, the smiles of the people faded away, and they began to cry loudly, heart-piercing, kneeling down...

It turned out that some old people in the town hanged themselves collectively in a dilapidated house in order to save food rations. Their children invited them to come for dinner, only to find out that the corpses were completely cold!

With such a tragedy in the world, everyone couldn't help crying like rain, the tears of Cao Jie and Zhen Mi flowed into a small river, while Xiao Yi comforted them, he also sighed in his heart:

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, people's livelihood is suffering, the population of Hebei has dropped sharply, there are about 500 million people, of which less than one million are young and strong men, and the rest are old and weak women and children!

The five prefectures of Xu, Yan, Yu, Si, and Liang controlled by the Caoying Group are the center of the war, and the losses are even greater, with only 300 million people left!

In addition, the six counties in Jiangdong have a population of about 80. Jingzhou is richer with a population of 150 million. Yizhou is not bad, with a population of more than one million. Hanzhong has about 40. In addition, under the rule of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, there are also 30 people... ..., this is the whole background of the Han Dynasty - a total of 200 million people, less than one-fifth of the prosperous period!

People cannot be resurrected after death, so Xiao Yi asked people to cut down trees and make some rough coffins. No matter what, let the dead rest in the ground and ascend to heaven. I hope there will be no war and no hunger!

Lush and lofty, with bright energy everywhere, Brahma travels to the heavens, circles around the ten directions, and immeasurable great gods, all belong to me;

I have a cave seal, I will become an immortal ten thousand times, the immortal way is expensive, the ghost way is connected, the world is boundless, the atmosphere is dirty,

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

In front of the newly completed tomb, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged and recited the Taoist "Salvation of Human Beings" to save these poor souls, and he also had a firm belief in his heart-'Stop chaos with war, and the world will be peaceful! '

759. Chapter 759 The Mystery of the Fifth Young Master

Yecheng - It was first built in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was built under the order of the famous Duke Huan of Qi. It was used to meet the princes and show the authority of the overlord; The opportunity for the uncle to marry a wife, throwing witches into the water, rectifying the folk customs, digging canals, irrigating fertile fields, greatly promoting the development of agriculture, and the banks of the Zhang River are all anointed!

In the Han Dynasty, Yecheng was the seat of Wei County. Because of its prosperity and large population, it became the seat of Jizhou. , Plotting the world!

"Adjoining Taihang in the north, bordering Zhanghe River in the south, controlling Luliang in the west, and embracing the Bohai Sea in the east, where dragons and tigers live, it is really the residence of the emperor. Based on this, we have a three-point chance of winning before fighting!"

Seeing Yecheng for the first time, Xiao Yi was shocked. In a trance, it reminded him of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the great Han Dynasty. Compared with the two, they are indistinguishable in terms of terrain. The difference is that the former has been destroyed by the war. There was only a piece of ruins left, but the latter was prosperous and prosperous, standing right in front of my eyes!

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one is victorious in every battle. If one wants to defeat the Yuan Clique, one must understand their lair. Xiao Yi immediately decided that the team will not enter the city for the time being. First, they will go around the city for three times to take a good look and prepare for the decisive battle in the future. !

Yecheng is a rectangular city with thirteen miles from east to west, nine miles from north to south, and a circumference of 44 miles. It has seven gates, four droughts and three rivers. The transportation is very convenient. The level is worthy of the name of 'the world's first giant city! '

The city wall is four feet high and one foot and eight feet thick. It is all rammed with loess, glutinous rice juice, gravel, iron sand, etc. It is integrated and indestructible. In order to build Yecheng, Yuan Shao recruited 25 people. The project was completed in 7, and [-] to [-] people died of exhaustion. As for the money, food, and materials spent, there are countless!

There is also the Zhang River, which stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, with a wide surface and abundant water. It is a natural military defense line and irrigates the land on both sides. More than a million dendrobium, it is really fat!

There is food to gather troops. For the needs of defense, an acropolis was built on the east, north, and west sides of Yecheng, with a circumference of more than five miles. The cities echo each other to form a complete defense system!

"Prepare sufficient ordnance, food and grass, and defend the city with [-] elite soldiers. As long as the commander is not too stupid, it will be no problem to stick to it for more than three years!"

After checking repeatedly, Xiao Yi came to a conclusion that it was almost impossible to conquer Ye City, unless he paid five times the price of casualties. The question is, who would consume such a huge amount of power for a city? With 50 horses, it is also reluctant to fight recklessly!

Then again, since ancient times, there has been no city that cannot be broken, only the heart that cannot be destroyed. No matter how strong the city is, it needs people to defend it. The Yuan family is greedy and blindly oppressing the people. The sculptured castle will disappear when the big waves come!

"Hehe, Zimu... The blood feud has never been forgotten. When we meet again, let's make a break!"

Looking at Juyi in front of him, Xiao Yi sneered, his eyes full of murderous intent, this time he entered Yecheng, he had three major things to do:

First, disturb the place, coerce the population, try to empty out Yuan's family property, weaken Hebei's power, and prepare for the decisive battle!

Second, visit Zhen's family, fulfill Zhen Mi's wish, fulfill the responsibility of a husband, if possible, take the opportunity to win her over, it will be of great use in the future!

The third is to find Mr. Zimu, cut him into pieces, cut his abdomen and heart out, and use his head to pay homage to the dead folks. Xiao Yi can be sure that the other party is hiding in a corner of Yecheng, and there is no relationship between the two of them. It's time to make a break!

"Cause and effect, retribution is not good, it is life or death, just today - enter the city!"

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

The streets of Yecheng are clean and tidy, with many shops, restaurants, teahouses, chess clubs, brothels, pawnshops, bodyguards... One after another, there are signboards everywhere. underground!

The streets are wide and there are many pedestrians. There are both local residents and foreign merchants. There are even blond and blue-eyed barbarians, leading tall camels, carrying wine and white jade, which are special products of the Western Regions..., parading through the market and selling. non-stop!

In such an environment, the small caravan was inconspicuous at all, coupled with the Zhen family's flag, the soldiers guarding the city did not search it, and let it go directly. Even so, Xiao Yi hid in the carriage, not afraid of ten thousand, just Just in case, if someone recognizes me, then everything will be over. It's better to keep your head down and be an otaku, and make a fortune in silence!

The first thing to do when entering the city is of course to go home. Zhen Mi has been away from home for more than a year, and she has already returned home, urging the team to go straight to Nancheng, where the lair of the world's number one chaebol is located!

The Zhen family mansion is huge in scale, almost occupying a street. There is a large main house surrounded by more than a dozen sub-houses, which are connected to each other by corridors. As far as the eye can see, the misty rain on the buildings, halls and waterside pavilions are beautifully decorated. Huan, like a fairy tale world!

After the children of the Zhen family become adults, they can live alone. Those who have made contributions to the family will also be allocated mansions, granting some fields, shops, servants...as private property, they can dispose of it at will, so there is such a pattern!

A few years ago, Zhen Mi made great contributions to pioneering the grassland commercial roads and brought huge benefits to the family. Therefore, she got a mansion with four courtyards, hundreds of rooms, and hundreds of servants. The fertile land also belongs to her, a veritable little rich woman!

The material is very rich, but the fate is very pitiful. Both of Zhen Mi's parents died, leaving five sons and three daughters. The eldest son, Zhen Yu, served in the General's Mansion. Living next to her uncle, Zhen Mi is ranked sixth, why she is called the 'fifth son' has always been a mystery!

"Welcome the fifth son back to the mansion--safe journey, good luck!"

"Excuse me-get ready, I want to take a bath and change clothes, and worship the ancestral hall!"

After returning home, Zhen Mi was not happy, but a little sad, probably thinking of her parents and elder brother who died young, as an orphan, even if she is rich in the world, she is still lonely in her heart!

With a delicate heart, Xiao Yi immediately sensed the beauty's emotions, first he comforted her with kind words, then took a bath and changed his clothes, and prepared to worship the ancestral hall together as a son-in-law!

The ancestral hall is just behind the mansion. There is a separate courtyard with five houses lined up. The environment is deserted and elegantly decorated. There are special servants in charge of taking care of them. There is no shortage of three meals a day, just like serving the living. This is called ' Serve death like a waiter! '

Inside the ancestral hall, incense is lingering, and on the altar in the middle, there are six spiritual plaques, two high and four low, with black lacquer gold characters, and the names of Zhen's family are written. Behind is a row of portraits, which are obscured by the fireworks and cannot be seen clearly. !

"Daughter and son-in-law, offer incense and kowtow, worship devoutly, and hope that parents and adults will be blessed by the spirit of heaven, so that children and grandchildren will multiply and prosper from generation to generation..."

Zhen Mi and Xiao Yi knelt on the futon, offered three animal sacrifices, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, prayed again, and then raised their heads and looked at the portrait above!

There is a huge portrait in the middle, on it is a middle-aged couple, smiling and kind, they are Zhen Mi's parents, and there is a row of small characters at the bottom, recording the life story:

Father - Zhen Yi, young and intelligent, well-read poetry and books, filial piety, official worship Cai Ling...

Mother - Zhang, from Changshan, the daughter of an official, gentle and virtuous, with a beautiful appearance...

There are four portraits next to them, all of which are handsome young men, they are Zhen Mi's four elder brothers who died young:

The second son, Zhen Yan, pioneered the commercial road in Liaodong, and died of freezing in a snowstorm on the road... only 24 years old!

The third son, Zhen Yao, opened up Baiyue business roads, entered the vast mountains and forests, got caught in miasma by mistake, and died of illness at the age of 23!

The fourth son, Zhenxiu--opened up the sea business road, encountered a strong wind on the way, the ship was destroyed and no one was left, only 20 years old!

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

The world envies the wealth of the Zhen family, which rivals the country, but they don't know that the reputation of "the world's number one chaebol" is exchanged for each fresh life. The Zhen family's males are rare, and even fewer live past the age of 30. This is the reason. Open up business. , It is human life to explore the way, courage to build bridges, only the one who is indomitable can do business in the world!

The fourth son, Zhen Luo--opened up the grassland trade roads, met the Huns horse bandits on the road, and was stabbed five times in the body to protect the caravan.
