Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

In the afternoon of that day, Xiang Yang came back with the performance troupe, talking about the performance of Baisha Village, it was really popular as Xiao Yu expected.

They set up two performances in the school of Baisha Village, one for the villagers and one for the sailors of Min Chong. Many people from the surrounding villages rushed over after hearing the news. Surround the school with water.

There are also many sailors who sprinkle copper coins on the stage as rewards.

Xiao Yu said to Min Chong who came to pay New Year's greetings: "In the future, such things as rewards will be prohibited. The members of the regiment will have their wages, and there is no need for the soldiers to pay."

Min Chong disapproved: "They are willing to give it themselves, why not?"

Xiao Yu explained: "These women came from humble backgrounds. They used to rely on others to make a living, but now they have changed their careers to become an art troupe, but they are still the same as before. It will hurt their self-esteem, and they will feel that this is not much different from before. , are still looked down upon by others. The lieutenant may feel disrespectful towards them because of this reason, and may do disrespectful things in words and deeds. You must restrain yourself."

Although Min Chong didn't understand, he still cooperated: "Okay, I'll go back and teach them."

"It's hard work for Master Min, can those newly enlisted sailors still obey discipline?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Of course, anyone who dares to refuse to accept it will make him cry for his father and mother." Min Chong said confidently.

Xiao Yu said: "When the barracks on this side of the harbor are built, the sailors can move here to practice. This place is close to the state city, and the Min family can live in the city in the future. I will buy a house for the Min family. , Let’s settle down in the city from now on.”

Min Chong said: "No, I'm a widow. I'm only in Yazhou for a few days a year. Why do I need a house? Isn't this the room I have? I'll move to the house when the time comes."

Xiao Yu smiled: "As long as Master Min doesn't mind, let's move in here. I'll give you some official titles then, and you will be a navy general. You always call Master Min, and you seem like a bandit."

Min Chong raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "When the time comes, Mr. Lang will call me General Min?"

Xiao Yu smiled: "General Min sounds better than Master Min."

Min Chong said: "My name is Tengyun, and you can call me by my name directly."

Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

In ancient times, peers who had a good relationship all called each other words.In fact, Min Chong is a round older than Xiao Yu, so it is not appropriate to call him, but Xiao Yu's mental age is about the same as Min Chong, so it doesn't matter if he is called.

Min Chong suddenly lowered his voice and said, "When is Lang Jun planning to become king?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes: "What's happening in the north?"

Min Chong said: "According to the news received, King Liang has taken over all the troops of King Yu and is encroaching on the territory of Jingzhou."

Xiao Yu said: "Wait a minute, ask Linzhi to come and listen." He got up, walked outside the door, and said to Ji Hai: "Ji Hai, go find your master, just say I'm looking for him."

Ji Hai, who was playing with A Ping in the yard, heard this and ran out quickly.

Pei Linzhi was meeting several Yazhou school captains, and rushed over after hearing the words, and saw Xiao Yuzheng drinking tea with Min Chong, talking and laughing, talking about Persia's experience.

Xiao Yu was listening to Min Chong's anecdote that some Persians didn't take a bath because of lack of water, and in order to cover up the peculiar smell of their bodies, they smeared various spices on their bodies and made a joke, and laughed uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Pei Linzhi felt a strong sourness in his heart, but he quickly shook his head to let himself not be entangled with this feeling. He took a deep breath, walked in, and knelt down by the table: " Your Majesty is looking for me?"

Xiao Yu managed to stop laughing, rubbed his stomach and said, "Teng Yun told Lin Zhi about the news from the north."

Pei Linzhi frowned when he heard the word "Tengyun", and looked at Min Chong.

Min Chong cleared his throat and explained the situation in the north.

Xiao Yu said, "What's Lin Zhi's opinion?"

Pei Linzhi frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The backs of Liangzhou and Yuzhou are the East and West Errongs, which means that once a war starts, they will be attacked from both sides, so the King of Liang wants to eat Jingzhou to give himself a way out."

Xiao Yu nodded: "That's true. I guess Liang Wang's appetite is not only Jingzhou, but also Yizhou. Yizhou has unique advantages. One man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand people are not open, and there is a cornerstone laid by the Shu Han. It is a natural place. The granary. As long as Yizhou is occupied, Xiao Yi will no longer be able to do anything to the King of Liang."

Both Pei Linzhi and Min Chong nodded approvingly, and Min Chong said, "So it is impossible for the imperial court to let King Liang take Yizhou."

"Exactly." Xiao Yu nodded, turned to look at Pei Linzhi, "How many troops do the imperial court and King Liang have?"

Pei Linzhi said: "When we were in Jianye, Liang and Yu prefectures each had about 15 troops. In recent years, they should have expanded a lot. The total number of troops in the two places will not be less than 50. The imperial court originally had 20 troops. , the data may be slightly false, excluding the troops that cannot be mobilized, the number of troops that can be mobilized should be about [-]."

Min Chong asked, "How many troops do Jiaozhou and Guangzhou have?"

Pei Linzhi said: "The combined strength of the Lingnan prefectures should be [-]."

Min Chong frowned: "Why are there so many people?"

"Jiaozhou and Yazhou have rebelled more than once, and the imperial court sent heavy troops to guard them." Pei Linzhi explained.

Min Chong rolled his eyes: "So I was always on guard. That is to say, if you become king in Yazhou, the imperial court will send troops from Guangzhou to suppress it?"

"Exactly." This is also the reason why Xiao Yu didn't become king, Xiao Yi wanted him to die, but as long as he didn't become king, he would not mobilize troops to suppress it, he would only send people to assassinate him.

They can still deal with a small group of troops, but if a large army overwhelms the border, relying on the thousands of troops in Yazhou, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Pei Linzhi said: "Within this year, there will be a battle between the imperial court and King Liang."

Min Chong asked: "Then who do you think will win the court or King Liang? The court has enough troops, and I think the chance of winning is greater. But King Liang is different from the court. He has more choices and is more flexible. Even if he loses Liang Yujing Three states, as long as we retreat to Yizhou, everything will be fine."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Master Min is right, King Liang doesn't seem to have any plans to proclaim himself emperor, he just wants to survive and preserve his strength."

Xiao Yu said: "The imperial court will not allow the king of Liang to seize Yizhou. It is easy to lose Yizhou, but it is difficult to regain it. He will seize every opportunity to keep Liang Wang out of Yizhou, so you think the imperial court What will you do?"

Pei Linzhi sighed: "It's not the first time Xiao Yi has done the thing of luring wolves into the house, and he will continue to do it."

Xiao Yu nodded, agreeing.

Min Chong looked at Xiao Yu, and then at Pei Linzhi: "You mean, the imperial court will cooperate with Xirong? But Xirong will definitely not send troops in vain, they will let Anguo cede the land. But if Yizhou falls into the hands of King Liang, what will happen?" It's still my own brother, ceding the land to Xirong, that is taking advantage of the foreigners. Such a stupid thing, the dog emperor also did it?"

Pei Linzhi said with a straight face, "He's already done it once."

Min Chong couldn't help cursing: "This son of a bitch, just ruined the territory that our ancestors conquered? That's our lord's territory."

Xiao Yu has never realized that it is his own territory, but he sympathizes with the people in the frontier. Hu people have a tradition of treating Han people as two-legged sheep, and how many Han people in the north have been slaughtered.

Xiao Yi would rather lure wolves into the house and harm the common people, but also eliminate dissidents, it is really disgusting.

But he doesn't have the ability to stop this kind of thing from happening right now, the most urgent thing is to survive in the cracks and gradually grow stronger.

Min Chong said: "Actually, the chaos in the north is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it is an opportunity for us."

Xiao Yu really has to admit this point, only when there is chaos in the north can they have a chance.Just pity those innocent people.

Min Chong didn't go back that night, but stayed here directly.

After the meal, Xiao Yu and Min Chong held a candle-lit night chat in the study, talking about the customs and knowledge of various places, and the talk was very speculative.

It's rare that Min Chong is free and willing to chat openly. He has seen a lot and Xiao Yu is naturally willing to accompany him.

He also wanted to ask Min Chong to bring back the Arabic numerals, so that the calculation would be much easier.

While chatting speculatively, Pei Linzhi stood at the door of the study with the crying A Ping in his arms, and said expressionlessly: "Mr., A Ping is still clamoring for you."

Xiao Yu turned to look at them in surprise: "Isn't he going to sleep with you?"

Pei Linzhi lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

A Ping stretched out his arms towards Xiao Yu: "Hold me, Mr. Lang." Wept so much that his nose was bubbling.

Xiao Yu looked at the little pitiful boy, and couldn't bear it, so he had to say to Min Chong: "Teng Yun, let's stop talking for today, and talk about it next time. I'll go and put Aping to sleep."

Min Chong raised his eyebrows, stood up and stretched his waist: "Okay, it's getting late, and it's time to rest."

Xiao Yu originally thought that from tonight onwards, he would sleep alone.Unexpectedly, because of A Ping, everything went back to the past.

He couldn't tell what it was like, but it was easier for him to fall asleep with these two people sleeping next to him.

Xiao Yu worked for five or six days in a row. Seeing that the rice flowering period had passed, he stopped working in the fields.

In the next few days, Ji Hai and Meng Sigui helped, and the efficiency was much improved. These two good students are good at planting beads, and now cutting a glume is a piece of cake.

After the hybrid rice experiment was completed, Xiao Yu began to arrange for those rescued brothel women.Excluding the dozen or so members of the art troupe, there are more than a dozen who are willing to go home, and 30 to [-] who are willing to marry. After all, women in this era seem to have no other way out except to marry.

Married women were all arranged to go on blind dates, and the targets of the blind dates were officers and men of the Navy.Only those who don't mind the birth of a woman are eligible for a blind date.

Although most people are concerned about the background of women in brothels, there are also those who cannot afford a wife. After all, it is not easy for many bachelors to marry a wife.

Those women who are willing to marry are pleasantly surprised when they hear that they can still meet the man before getting married, and that they still have the right to choose.It seems that Xiao Langjun did not arrange them randomly.

Most of the remaining women are willing to wait for Xiao Yu to arrange work. It's not that they don't want to marry, but because they have too many worries, so they might as well wait and see.

Xiao Yu then sent all the girls to Baisha Village. In order to give everyone a buffer period, he arranged for them to live alone. He did not work with the original workers from the weaving workshop and the rain gear workshop, although they also did the same thing.

When they have learned the skills and are able to work, they will be able to support themselves with their hands.
