Chapter 55 You are in big trouble! [Please read more]

Jinmao was not aware of all this.

After waiting in Zhuji for ten days, Yu Fan's condition improved, but Zhu Fu still did not take the next action.

Jin Mao thought that Xi Zhicai's plan had succeeded, and happily led his men back, leaving only three teams of more than 100 people who had performed well this time to garrison Zhuji County, led by Yang Lin.

Originally they wanted Yu Fan, who had not yet recovered, to stay for treatment, but that was not possible, so they took him back to Wushang County.

Five days later.

When the group arrived at Tangxi Township, Yu Fan, who had not yet recovered from his illness, took the initiative to stay and arrange matters related to Wushang and Taimo counties.

How can we let a sick person work?

In the name of medical treatment, Jin Mao forcibly took the person away to the Jinyun Mountain Base Camp.

Three days later, it was already October.

Jinmao finally arrived at Jinyun Mountain, and good news came one after another.

The autumn harvest went very smoothly. In two counties and six townships, more than 1 acres of land harvested a total of more than shi of corn, wheat, etc., with an output of shi per acre, which was four levels higher than the previous yield!
Excluding the more than 20,000 stones distributed to the villagers, more than 30,000 stones were stored in the warehouse. For the first time, Jinmao felt like a local rich man.

The first batch of sea salt from Zhang'an County was successfully dried and delivered to Wushang County, totaling 10,000 kilograms. This is the output that can only be achieved when there is sufficient sunshine. In order to maintain this output, we have to expand production in the future.

However, it is definitely good news that Jinmao no longer has to worry about salt.

Rapeseed has also begun to be planted in the two counties. It is expected that more than 10,000 bushels of rapeseed oil will be harvested next year. However, we have to find a way to increase the number of wooden presses, otherwise, it will not be finished in a year.

It is worth mentioning that the four townships of Jinyunshan, Lizhou, Tangxi and Xinyang are all planted with newly cultivated high-quality disease-resistant seeds.

It was originally planned to be planted in Dongxiang, but because of Zhang Yan's great contribution, Jinmao invested in it and also planted it in Xinyang Township.

Other townships will have to wait until next year.

After all the reports were completed, Jin Mao was still wondering whether Gong Lei and other members of Team 2 had encountered difficulties and had not returned yet.

Upon asking, we found out that Gong Lei had returned a long time ago, but was hiding in the mountains and did not dare to come out. Gong Lei also stopped everyone and no one was allowed to visit the second team.

"When did Gong Lei become so tough?"

After tracing back to the source, we found that the root of the problem lies with Xi Zhicai.

He then went to Xi Zhicai to ask.

Unexpectedly, Xi Zhicai's first words were the familiar opening line: "Jin Wu is injured, you are in big trouble!"

...

a month ago.

Xi Zhicai just wanted to go home early because the people here were too fierce and it wasn't fun at all.

Unlike him in his hometown Yingchuan County, where he had more fun!

People go to women's music halls when they have nowhere else to go. They hang out in the Xun Family Band every day, and occasionally they can go out and cheat on them. It's so exciting.

But in this damn place, people can be killed just for a little water for irrigation.

Dare you still cheat?

Even if Xi Zhicai had eight hundred courages, he would not dare.

Forget about entertainment venues. There are hardly any of them even in Shanyin County, the county seat, let alone the poor mountains and bad waters of Wushang County.

Drinking, eating meat and reading became Xi Zhicai's only interests and hobbies.

There are no classic works in Wushang County. These books are all Jin Mao's quotations compiled by Jin Yun and Yu Fan.

Most of them were knowledge about how to manage agriculture. Xi Zhicai read them with great interest and occasionally sighed: "This kid is really a genius!"

Until one day in mid-September, two groups of villagers came to Xi Zhicai with a quarrel.

Before leaving, Jin Mao gave Xi Zhicai certain powers, which is why the villagers came to him.

When Xi Zhicai learned that there were Shanyue people among the two groups of villagers, he became very interested.

The matter is simple, it’s still a fight for water resources.

However, Jinmao has a strict order prohibiting Han people from fighting with mountain people. No matter which side starts the fight first, they will be expelled once they are discovered.

Therefore, every time there is an argument, both sides are very polite, and they cannot be impolite even though they don’t speak the same language.

After successfully solving this small matter, Xi Zhicai freed himself from the wine and meat and wanted to take a look at this strange little world.

He had heard of the Xiongnu invading the Han Dynasty and the Wuhuan submitting, but he had never heard of any tribe being able to get along harmoniously with the Han people.

As he got to know him better, Xi Zhicai was also surprised by the shock Yu Fan had experienced. "Jin Wushang is really a strange man. He never lied!"

In addition, Xi Zhicai was also very interested in the ecosystem that had begun to take shape in Jinyun Mountain. However, since only Jinmao understood the ins and outs of it, he could only suppress his curiosity.

At this moment, Xi Zhicai's thoughts changed.

From the beginning, I didn’t want to stay even a second longer, but now I want to see more of the future. It only takes a moment.

Xi Zhicai realized that it was the shining points in Jin Mao that attracted him, and just like Yu Fan in the past, he had an urge to join him.

The difference is that Xi Zhicai is more patient.

Even though some of Jin Mao's behaviors were in line with Xi Zhicai's temperament, such as sending Jin Yang to monitor him all the time and completely adopting his strategies.

Xi Zhicai had a very sharp eye and had already seen through everything.

But he still needs to observe further. The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king.

Jin Mao is still too immature, both in terms of his official position and his character.

Although Xi Zhicai believes that Jinmao will be able to soar to success as long as it has the opportunity, it still requires the opportunity.

A few days later, an event or the arrival of a person made Xi Zhicai certain that Jinmao's opportunity to soar to success had come!

Gong Lei!

And the news brought back by Gong Lei!

Gong Lei naturally didn't trust Xi Zhicai and didn't reveal a word to him, but Xi Zhicai was not an ordinary person and he was able to get the information he wanted in just a few words.

Xi Zhicai said, "You won't wipe out all the troops under the Southern Commander?"

But Gong Lei was so frightened that his expression became abnormal.

This also shocked Xi Zhicai: "Really wiped out all of them?!"

Then, Xi Zhicai pretended to be Jin Mao's new trusted adviser and stripped Gong Lei of all his underwear.

This time, Xi Zhicai lost his composure.

"I thought the internal affairs of Jinwu were shocking enough, but I didn't expect that the army of Jinwu was also full of hidden talents!"

With only 300 men, they wiped out three times the number of enemies, with their own casualties being only one-tenth, or a little more!
What's more, the enemy is a fully armed regular army with complete arms!
In Xi Zhicai's opinion, perhaps only the elite troops recorded in the books could do it.

No matter whether it is a coincidence or not, in war, winning is a sign of strength!

Then Xi Zhicai realized that this was a huge opportunity for Jinmao, but also a huge test.

He could foresee that this matter was too big and the imperial court would definitely not ignore it and would definitely send someone capable to deal with it.

The best candidate is undoubtedly Zhu Jun.

Unfortunately, Jin Mao has conflicts with Zhu Fu, which is an inherent disadvantage.

At that time, Zhu Jun’s first suspect would definitely be Jin Mao, because he had more than 10,000 Baiyue men under his command.

Within a thousand miles, is there any other mountain that can compare with it?

Therefore, it will be quite difficult for Jinmao to get through this hurdle, but the benefits of getting through it will be huge.

Xi Zhicai most hopes to see Jin Mao show his side as a heroic leader.

A little lower, the human ruler can also be fine.

At worst, forget it, he should just go home and wait for the real hero to appear.

Thoughtful.

Xi Zhicai pretended to give orders and told Gong Lei to continue waiting in the mountains. He was not allowed to go down the mountain or contact anyone outside without Jin Mao's order. If anyone was found escaping, he would be killed without mercy!

"This is a matter of life and death for the Golden Crow!"

Gong Lei did not suspect anything and on his way back to the temporary village, he secretly rejoiced that being cautious was the right thing to do.

In the mountain village, Pan Lin heard about the matter of life and death, and acted more actively than Gong Lei.

In Pan Lin's opinion, this was a great achievement upon a great achievement. As long as he completed the task perfectly, his position as the commander of a thousand men would be secured.

When Jin Mao returned, Xi Zhicai said, "Jin Crow is injured, you are in big trouble!"
