Chapter 2150 Taoist priest blocks the road
There is Yanmen Pass in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and there is Yuncheng defense in the Western Xia Dynasty.
These two places are close to the ghost tribe and are vulnerable to attacks, as everyone knows.
Nanliang is located in the south and looks to have nothing to do with this war. It is a very safe place.
However, it is precisely this kind of place that can easily cause problems.
Therefore, Long Chen asked about the situation in Nanliang.
Feng He felt strange and said, "Why do you ask about the situation in the south? It's summer now and the heat is hot in the south. How could the ghost tribe go to Nanliang?"
The ghost tribe likes cold weather in winter, and the hot places in Nanliang are impossible for the ghost tribe to go.
Moreover, when entering Nanliang, they must pass through the Western Xia or Eastern Zhou dynasties, and they cannot go there.
“That’s right.”
Long Chen felt that he was worried too much, and Nanliang should be fine.
"You keep a close eye on Hera Pass, especially Gui Fei and Li Chengdao, these two people are full of bad water."
Feng He laughed and said, "Sir, maybe they think you are full of bad water."
Long Chen laughed and scolded: "I'm going to rest, I won't mess with you."
Feng He smiled and exited the room.
...
Jinling City.
After the palace was renovated, the things that were originally intended for the emperor were removed, and all the temples and other things were retained as the yamen left behind by Gongsun Ming.
After conquering Jinling, someone suggested destroying the palace, but Long Chen felt it was necessary to keep it.
Such a large palace has consumed a lot of human, financial and material resources, and it is a pity to destroy it.
In fact, Long Chen had another consideration, that is, to guard against the ghost clan.
If the ghost tribe invades, they can retreat to Jinling City.
Across a river, defense can be much improved.
Gongsun Ming was discussing the autumn harvest with Li Xiannan in the palace.
Summer is about to pass, and the rice is ripe in the second season, and it is time to harvest it soon.
The battle at Yanmen Pass in the north continued, and there were many soldiers in Xixia, and their food was subsidized by Nanliang.
The empress's request for Gongsun Ming was also mainly for growing grain.
The soldiers of Nanliang were unwilling to participate in the war, and the empress did not force it, but the food supply had to keep up.
The soldiers of Yanmen Pass fought not for themselves, but for the people of the world.
The soldiers of the Eastern Zhou and Western Xia sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, and it was natural for the people of Nanliang to farm.
"The rice near Linjiang City and Qingren County is the best. It should be a bumper harvest this year and be transported to Diaoyu City immediately after it is dried."
Gongsun Ming looked at the documents of Sinong Temple and was very satisfied with their errands.
Li Xiannan said: "The ones on the west side are transported to Yuncheng by land, and the rice on the east side are transported to Shuohai City by sea, and then transported to Yanmen Pass, which will be faster."
Gongsun Ming nodded and said, "General Li makes sense, just leave like this."
Nanliang has vast land and is divided into east and west sides.
It is close to the sea to the east, and the sea transport speed is faster and the quantity is larger.
"The autumn is coming soon, and then winter is coming, and Yanmen Pass is about to fight again."
Speaking of the war in winter, Gongsun Ming was worried.
Li Xiannan beat his thigh and sighed: "The Princess is fighting bloody at Yanmen Pass, but I am here to enjoy my happiness. Thinking of this, I can't sleep at night."
Li Xiannan is not pretentious. She is really guilty and can't sleep. She wishes she could rush to Yanmen Pass to fight immediately.
She has been with Di Luoxi for many years and can be said to be the first general under Di Luoxi's command.
Now Zhang Qian, Qing Yue, Xuan Yi and a group of generals are following the war, but she is guarding Jinling City.
Thinking of this, Li Xiannan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"General Li, King Wu has long said about this matter. He has specialized in his profession and has his own responsibilities. We guarded him in Jinling and continuously supplying military and rice, which is to fight a war."
When he said this, Gongsun Ming was actually very ashamed.
"When it comes to ordnance manufacturing, I recently heard from the Ordnance Department that the price of armor has increased, and the price of iron has also increased. Is it because someone has made weapons privately?"
Speaking of ordnance, Li Xiannan suddenly remembered the documents from the Ordnance Department.
The Ordnance Office is responsible for the manufacturing of ordnance armor in Jinling City and the procurement of raw materials.
The prepared ordnance is sent to Yanmen Pass, the raw materials are sent to Linglong Pavilion, or to Anmu City.
These two places are the most important places for ordnance manufacturing.
Some time ago, the Ordnance Office bought the purchase and told Li Xiannan that the price of raw materials had risen and it was difficult to buy enough things.
Li Xiannan asks about the purchase price every day.
This is done to prevent buying from greed.
Therefore, when the price rises too outrageously, the purchasing will take the initiative to report to Li Xiannan to avoid being misunderstood.
"Impossible, no signs of rebellion were found?"
If raw materials have increased on a large scale, some people will definitely make private weapons on a large scale. This large-scale scale will have no other purpose except rebellion.
Gongsun Ming has been staring at the places where Nanliang might cause trouble. These places are very quiet and there is no sign of rebellion.
Li Xiannan said, "I also find it strange. You should send someone to check it out so that you won't make any mistakes."
"If you don't worry about ten thousand in this kind of thing, just be afraid of if you want it. Be sure to find out."
Gongsun Ming agreed with Li Xiannan's opinion and immediately arranged someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.
...
Wolong Valley.
Summer is about to pass, and Wolong Valley is also a little cold.
Li Chengdao walked out of the collapsed palace, and the war horses were no longer known where to go.
During this period, Li Chengdao entered into a state of meditation, and the Xuanwu Turtle Shield protected him, and the mosquitoes, snakes and ants would not disturb him, and his cultivation level improved a lot.
Guiying and Qin Hao are really a big help, and Li Chengdao also wants to devour a few masters.
The only master in Jinling City is Li Xiannan, but if Li Xiannan is killed, it will definitely attract attention.
After slowly walking out of Wolong Valley, Li Chengdao quickly entered Jinling City.
When he arrived at the door of Li Pu's house, Li Chengdao knocked on the door.
The male servant opened the door and saw the Taoist priest wearing a hat, and hurriedly said, "The Taoist priest is finally here. Please come in, please come in quickly!"
The male servant didn't see the face. He knew that it was the same person based on his temperament alone.
Li Pu specifically instructed that if you see this Taoist priest again, you must be extremely respectful and not neglected.
Therefore, the male servant invited Lee Seung-dao to come in very respectfully and politely.
"Is Mr. Li here?"
Lee Seung-dao did not go in, but asked if Li Pu was there first.
The male servant replied truthfully: "The master has gone out and said he is going west to buy some land houses."
According to Li Chengdao's instructions, Li Pu gathered a few old men to forge weapons and armor near Qingren County, but the person was not in Jinling.
"Oh, so that's it, I won't bother there."
Li Chengdao turned around and left, but the male servant couldn't help but close the door.
Li Pu is not here, and it is useless to go in, it will only waste time, so Li Chengdao chose to leave.
Just a few steps away, I saw a luxurious carriage coming towards me. The groom saw Li Chengdao, held a whip and scolded: "Don't dodge the Taoist priest, you dare to stop Lord Liu's carriage!"
Li Chengdao looked up and felt disgusted.
A flash of body, Li Chengdao disappeared instantly.
The groom rubbed his eyes and thought he was dazzled. What a Taoist priest, why did he disappear if he didn't say it?
"Hello? Or do you see a god?"
The groom couldn't believe his eyes.
"It's weird."
The groom was still scared and rushed back home in the carriage.
The door opened and the carriage walked straight to the backyard.
The carriage was parked, and a beautiful woman brought two maids forward, stood in front of the carriage, and said, "The master is back."
This woman is Lord Liu's wife.
There was no response in the carriage, and Lord Liu did not come out.
"master?"
The woman felt strange. She thought her husband was asleep, so she went forward and lifted the curtain.
