From eunuch to emperor

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Yanmen Gate was guarded, and in the Western Xia Dynasty, Yuncheng was guarded.

These two places are close to the ghost clan and are vulnerable to attack, as we all know.

Nanliang is located in the south, it seems to have nothing to do with this war, it is a very safe place.

However, it is precisely this kind of place that is prone to problems.

Therefore, Long Chen asked about Nanliang's situation.

Feng He felt strange and said, "Why do you ask about the situation in the south? It's summer now, and the weather in the south is extremely hot. How could the ghost clan go to Nanliang?"

The ghost clan likes the cold weather in winter, and it is impossible for the ghost clan to go to the extremely hot place in Nanliang.

Moreover, to enter Nanliang, you must pass through Xixia or Eastern Zhou, and they cannot go there.

"Right."

Long Chen felt that he was worrying too much, Nanliang should be fine.

"Keep an eye on Hela Pass, especially Guitai and Li Chengdao, these two people are full of bad things."

Feng He giggled and said, "My lord, maybe they think you're full of shit."

Long Chen smiled and scolded: "I want to be beaten, I'm going to rest, I won't talk nonsense with you."

Feng He left the room with a smile.

...

Jinling City.

After the palace was remodeled, all the things that could only be used by the emperor were removed, and all the palaces and the like were kept as the yamen of Gongsun Ming who stayed behind.

After capturing Jinling, someone suggested destroying the palace, Long Chen felt it was necessary to keep it.

The construction of such a large palace took a huge amount of human, financial and material resources, and it would be a pity to destroy it.

In fact, Long Chen still has another consideration, that is to guard against the ghost clan.

In case the ghost clan's invasion cannot be resisted, they can retreat to Jinling City.

Across a big river, the defense can be improved a lot.

Gongsun Ming is discussing the autumn harvest with Li Xiannan in the palace.

Summer is coming to an end, the second season of rice is ripe, and it is time to harvest.

The battle at Yanmen Pass in the north is still going on, and there are also many soldiers in Xixia, and their food must be subsidized by Nanliang.

The empress's request to Gongsun Ming is also to grow grain.

The Nanliang soldiers were unwilling to join the war, and the empress did not force her, but the food supply must keep up.

The soldiers of Yanmen Pass are not fighting for themselves, but for the people of the world.

The soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xixia threw their heads and blood, and it was only natural for the people of Nanliang to farm.

"The rice near Linjiang City and Qingren County is the best. There should be a good harvest this year. After drying, it will be shipped to Diaoyu City immediately."

Gongsun Ming looked at the documents of Sinong Temple and was very satisfied with their errands.

Li Xiannan said: "The rice from the west is transported to Yuncheng by land, and the rice from the east is transported to Shuohai City by sea, and then to Yanmen Pass. The speed will be faster."

Gongsun Ming nodded and said: "General Li is right, let's go like this."

Nanliang has a vast land, divided into east and west sides.

The east is close to the sea, and the speed of sea transportation is faster and the volume is larger.

"In autumn soon, and then in winter, there will be another battle at Yanmen Pass."

Speaking of the winter war, Gongsun Ming was worried.

Li Xiannan thumped his thigh and sighed, "Princess Holy Princess fought bloody battle at Yanmen Pass, but I am here to enjoy the blessings. Thinking of this, I can't sleep at night."

Li Xiannan is not hypocritical, she is really guilty, can't sleep, and can't wait to rush to Yanmenguan to fight immediately.

She has followed Emperor Luoxi for many years, and can be said to be the number one general under Emperor Luoxi's command.

Now Zhang Qian, Qingyue, Xuan Yi and a group of generals are fighting with them, but she is guarding Jinling Town.

Thinking of this, Li Xiannan feels like sitting on pins and needles.

"General Li, the King of Wu has said this before. There are specializations in the art industry, and each has its own responsibilities. We will guard Jinling and provide a continuous supply of weapons and rice, which is to fight."

In fact, Gongsun Ming felt very ashamed for saying this.

"Speaking of ordnance manufacturing, recently I heard from the Ordnance Department that the price of things that make armor has increased, and the price of iron has also increased. Is there someone who privately manufactures ordnance?"

Speaking of ordnance, Li Xiannan suddenly thought of the documents in the Ordnance Department.

The Ordnance Department is responsible for the manufacturing of ordnance and armor in Jinling City, as well as the procurement of raw materials.

The completed ordnance is sent to Yanmen Pass, and the raw materials are sent to Linglong Pavilion or Anmu City.

These two places are the most important ordnance manufacturing.

Some time ago, the Ordnance Department told Li Xiannan that the price of raw materials had risen, and it was difficult to buy enough.

Li Xiannan would ask about the purchase price every day.

This is done to prevent the purchase from being greedy for ink.

Therefore, when the price rises too much, the buyer will take the initiative to report it to Li Xiannan, so as not to be misunderstood.

"Impossible, isn't there any sign of rebellion?"

The price of raw materials has risen on a large scale, and there must be someone who privately manufactures ordnance on a large scale. On such a large scale, there is no other use for it except for rebellion.

Gongsun Ming has been keeping an eye on the possible trouble spots in Nanliang. These places are quiet and there is no sign of rebellion.

Li Xiannan said: "I also find it strange, you should send someone to check, so as not to make mistakes."

"This kind of thing, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, be sure to find out."

Gongsun Ming agreed with Li Xiannan, and immediately arranged for someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

...

Wolong Valley.

Summer is coming to an end, and Wolong Valley is getting a bit chilly.

Li Chengdao came out of the collapsed palace, and the war horse had no idea where to go.

During this period of time, Li Chengdao was in meditation, the basalt tortoise shield protected him, mosquitoes, snakes and ants would not disturb him, and his cultivation base has improved a lot.

Guitu and Qin Hao really make up for each other, and Li Chengdao wants to devour a few masters.

The only master in Jinling City is Li Xiannan. However, if Li Xiannan is killed, it will definitely attract attention.

Slowly walking out of Crouching Dragon Valley, Li Chengdao quickly entered Jinling City.

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 bamboo hat, he hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest is finally here, please come in, please come in quickly!"

The manservant didn't see the face, and he knew it was the same person just by his temperament.

Li Pu specially instructed that if you see this Taoist priest again, you must be extremely respectful and not neglect.

Therefore, the male servant invited Li Chengdao in very respectfully and politely.

"Is Master Li there?"

Li Chengdao didn't go in, but first asked Li Pu if he was there.

The male servant replied truthfully: "Master has gone out and said he is going west to buy some farms and houses."

According to Li Chengdao's order, Li Pu gathered a few elders to forge weapons and armor near Qingren County, but they were not in Jinling.

"Oh, so that's the case, don't bother me over there."

Li Chengdao turned and left, but the male servant couldn't keep him, so he had to close the door.

Li Pu was not there, it was useless to go in, it would only waste time, so Li Chengdao chose to leave.

After walking a few steps, he saw a luxurious carriage driving towards him. The groom saw Li Chengdao, held up his whip and shouted: "Don't let that Taoist get out of the way, you dare to block Lord Liu's carriage!"

Li Chengdao looked up, disgusted in his heart.

With a flash of his figure, Li Chengdao disappeared instantly.

The groom rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, a good Taoist priest, how can he disappear if he doesn't see it?

"Did you see a ghost? Or did you see a fairy?"

The groom couldn't believe his eyes.

"Strange."

The groom had lingering fears, and hurried the carriage back home.

The gate opened, and the carriage went straight to the backyard.

After the carriage stopped, a beautiful woman came forward with two servant girls, stood in front of the carriage, and said, "Master is back."

This woman is Master Liu's wife.

There was no response from the carriage, and Master Liu did not come out either.

"master?"

The woman felt strange, she thought her husband was asleep, so she stepped forward and opened the curtain.
