Chapter 796: Rumor

When Yan Laoer came back from counting the spoils, he saw his daughter writing a letter to her eldest brother again.

He leaned over and was happy when he saw the beginning.

When his daughter finished telling him everything that happened that day, he reached out for a pen: "Don't waste paper, I'll let you write a few sentences to your uncle."

Yan Yu handed it to him.

The father and daughter exchanged positions.

Yan Laoer pondered for a long time and wrote a few sentences with similar meanings to those he had written a few days ago, such as when he was away from home, he always missed his eldest brother, the farther he was away from home, the more he missed his relatives, it would be great if the whole family could be together every day, the temperature difference between morning and evening was big, and it was cold at night, and the eldest brother should pay attention to his health and not work too hard, there would be endless work to do, etc.

After writing, he returned the pen.

Yan Yu read it from the beginning and found no mistakes.

The father and daughter wrote such letters every day, writing down the intelligence of the Western Rong, the changes in the situation caused by the court army's several battles with them, and the many "rumors" heard from the people, and revealed them to Yan Huaiwen.

Yan Yu was sure that his uncle could easily extract useful information from these letters that were similar to family letters.

"Dad, is there a lot of food?" Yan Yu asked.

Yan Laoer nodded: "This group of Western Rong has caused a lot of harm to people. In addition to what they brought, they also robbed a lot, and there are also some gold and silver treasures." Some of them were stained with blood, and he couldn't help but get angry when he thought of him. "Barbarians don't do anything, killing as many as they want won't make me feel better!"

Yan Yu rolled up the letter paper in a serious manner, stuffed it into the bamboo tube, and sealed it.

The chubby little face was full of seriousness, and the slightly drooping eyes were cold.

"Dad, it's a good thing we are here." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Fortunately..."

Yan Laoer was a little stunned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she was saying that it was a good thing that they found an opportunity to come out this time, or that the family came to this world that belonged to a book.

The familiar sound of an eagle was heard.

Both father and daughter looked up at the sky at the same time.

Jiuxiao was back.

Yan Huaiwen's reply arrived.

…

Rumors have been spreading in the camp where the Xizhou Army is stationed recently.

It is rumored that the king has colluded with the Xirong and opened the gate to let the Western barbarians in to fight against the imperial army.

Although this move made the soldiers of Xizhou feel sick, think about it, if they are facing the attack of the two armies of Guanzhou and the imperial court, it is not a bad thing to have the help of the Western barbarians.

But I don't know who spread the rumor that the barbarians are vicious and hard to change. Since entering the territory of Xizhou, they have burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. The city walls are high and there are guards, so they are still safe, but those towns outside the city walls have suffered. The whole village is slaughtered at any time, and the corpses are everywhere.

The generals suppressed it several times and said righteously that this was a malicious rumor spread by the Guanzhou Army!

But this rumor was not suppressed, but spread more and more. The accurate village name and detailed location, more and more details were confirmed.

I don't know how many soldiers couldn't sleep at night.

Thinking about home, tossing and turning.

The Xizhou army was gradually in chaos.

...

As soon as the letter was unfolded.

After just one glance, the expression on Yan Yu's face became serious.

The father and daughter read it head to head.

They looked at each other.

They read it again carefully without any agreement.

In this letter, Yan Huaiwen clearly specified several things.

First, all 5,000 elite soldiers in Xiao'an Camp should leave the camp and do their best to eliminate the small group of Xirong roaming in the pass.

Second, the rescued people should be quickly checked. Those who have wood, iron, stone, tile and other miscellaneous skills should be escorted back to Huju with their families and temporarily live in Xiao'an Camp.

Third, restart the construction of Xiaoan Village wall tower defense, recruit nearby farmers, build the arrow tower first, then the high wall, and ensure the smooth operation of each workshop inside, and supply iron products such as catapults, three-bow crossbow beds, weapons, armor, and farm tools to Huju.

Fourth, attach equal importance to agriculture and industry, with agriculture coming first. This one is very interesting. It actually asks them to take care of the land of the people who have lost their farming. Moreover, Yan Huaiwen is very thoughtful. He asks the people who have fled their hometown to sign a contract, and the Yan family army takes over the farming. If they can successfully harvest the grain, they will get 70%, and the original owner can get 30% if he signs the contract, which is exactly the opposite of the grain tax. This sense of displacement... makes Yan Yu very happy.

Haha! There is a feeling that the people are landlords and the princes are hired farmers.

Yan Laoer: "Xiaoer, you stay to check, I will go back and pull them all over for the Yan family army."

He was delighted in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Obviously, it was because his eldest brother wrote the three words "Yan Family Army" in the letter.

This letter was definitely not just Yan Huaiwen's own intention, it must have been the King of England's intention.

Although they shouted happily in private, the Yan Family Army was not recognized by the upper level.

It was different after getting the approval of the prince.

Regardless of whether their Yan Family Army was important enough, hey! This title was firmly established!

"Before nightfall, I will try to settle the first batch of people sent back." Yan Yu quickly sorted out the order of things to be done. "First call the village head, the village head, and the old man. With them, things will be much easier."

Not only the various craftsmen mentioned by the uncle, but also the people running around these days, Yan Yu realized that people, such social creatures, really need leaders. As long as they explain the situation and requirements to these people, they will pass on the message as the middleman, saving time and improving efficiency.

"I'll ask people to find more paper and pens nearby." Yan Laoer was a practical person and quickly thought of the things that were urgently needed. "It would be best if we could find some capable clerks and runners to write documents. Hey, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible for others to do this, so I'd better let your father go. At least I'm an official."

Yan Laoer thought of something and said, "Your uncle mentioned farm tools. He should be trying to grab more food here. Don't take advantage of the blacksmiths. Let's search for them. We should be able to find a lot of things in the empty villages. If it's not enough, we can buy them."

Yan Yu nodded.

Dad is right.

She knows what's important.

Seeing the stalemate in the war with Xizhou.

Although Guanzhou received a batch of supplies from the court and purchased a batch of food, it must store more food to ensure that the soldiers and civilians of Guanzhou are well fed and the people of Leshan and Xizhou who were rescued cannot starve.

This money should be spent.

"There is also the problem of transportation. We need to gather more cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, and try to make up for the insufficient carriages." Yan Laoer said again.

Yan Yu: "Dad, when you go back this time, please bring back some food and other things."

Seeing that her uncle was going to restart the fortifications, Xiao'an Village would not be able to make her feel at ease no matter where she put it.

"I'll take it away. What if you don't have enough food here? This time, I can't take many people with me." Yan Laoer thought that sending people back the first time was a journey. If he made way for them, it would be easier to go next time.

"If it's not enough, go and rob!" Yan Yu said bluntly, with stars in his eyes.

Yan Laoer grinned, and he loved his daughter's energetic look.

"Yes! That's it!"

"Dad, let's roast a rabbit." Yan Yu suddenly said.

"Hey! Where can I find a rabbit for you? I don't know if Sun Erdan can catch it..." Yan Laoer didn't finish his words, and saw his daughter raised her arm. Jiuxiao, who was standing quietly like a chicken, flapped his wings and flew high, flapping his wings like a high-speed electric fan, flying towards the mountains and forests.

Jiuxiao: Target rabbit, go!
