"After the battle, the soldiers and civilians of Tianyong City petitioned the prefect and the garrison general. General Liu's achievements have been inscribed on a stele, which is now located at the foot of the east gate of Tianyong City."
"If Lord Zhou has doubts about General Liu's achievements, you can go to the east gate of Tianyong City and see for yourself."
There is such a thing?
This old father-in-law also erected a monument and wrote a biography for himself.
Liu Feng almost laughed out loud.
This father-in-law is a good man and sensible.
This wave of publicity for myself was well done and very well said.
If Liu Feng guessed correctly, with his father-in-law's hype, the next step would be that he would be forced to expand the Tiger Roar Army under the spontaneous petition of the people of the city.
In the end, they became the backbone of the defense of Youzhou.
Isn't the emperor trying to weaken the Linghu family's military power? Now their private troops have been weakened to the point where there are very few left.
Okay, then let’s follow public opinion and build a rural army. This is a real achievement.
Besides, the Northern Barbarian army has not yet completely withdrawn from the Northern Barbarian territory, and it would only take a few minutes for them to make a comeback.
It is necessary to form a strong local army to defend the border, and nothing the emperor says will be of any use.
The Yantai transport envoy frowned after hearing the news.
If this is true, not only can he not blame Liu Feng, he should also be polite to this adult.
He was the Salt and Iron Commissioner and had his own privileges, but he was no fool.
You know, Liu Feng holds military power. If you offend him, it will be a big deal.
What's more, we are now on someone else's territory. If we offend such a killer, it is hard to say whether we can return alive.
After years in officialdom, being able to bend and stretch is a basic skill.
So Zhou Wanggui turned around and kicked the accountant who was speaking to the ground.
"Since you know that Lord Liu is busy with military affairs, what are you doing? Why don't you help Lord Liu share the burden?"
"For the past two weeks, the iron ore dug out every day has not met the standards."
"You said that this is how you do things?"
"Don't think that just because you're from the prefectural government, I can't deal with you. If you anger me, I'll still dismiss you and investigate you."
Liu Feng finally understood. It turned out that he was angry because of these things.
Liu Feng calmly turned his gaze to the accountant and asked with a cold face.
"You bastard, why don't you explain the whole story to Master Zhou?"
"Don't you see? Lord Zhou is very reasonable. If the matter is extenuating, how could a person of Lord Zhou's high position and power argue with you, a mere accountant?"
This sentence seemed to be scolding the accountant, but in fact it was putting Zhou Wanggui on the spot.
At this time, as long as the accountant is not stupid and gives a reasonable reason, if Zhou Wanggui still argues with him, it means that he lacks vision and is narrow-minded.
"you……."
Zhou Wanggui widened his eyes, pointed at Liu Feng, and his old face turned red.
Liu Feng has military merits and holds military power. He is his subordinate in the supervision of iron ore, but he dare not offend him.
"Liu, what Lord Liu said makes sense."
After reluctantly swallowing his anger, Zhou Wanggui suddenly waved his hand and continued to glare at the accountant.
The anchor crawled to his feet in the snow and adjusted his hat.
"My Lords, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life."
"I really can't be blamed for this. It's because the mineral vein itself is irregular and sparse."
"With large-scale mining now, the mines have expanded to several locations, but production is very low. Add to that the weather, which makes it unbearably hot inside the mines, and freezing outside. With these alternating temperatures, many miners have already suffered severe frostbite."
"Also, they usually lack food and clothing, and these miners don't have much physical strength to begin with."
"A combination of various factors led to the production cuts."
Zhou Wanggui turned around, pointed at a few strong men and started cursing.
"Bullshit, do you think I'm blind?"
"Look at these workers transporting ore. They're all strong and warmly dressed. They're stronger than me."
"Is this what it looks like to be starving and cold?"
"If you continue to be so messy and don't tell the truth, I will make you pay."
When the accountant heard this, he was so scared that he almost cried.
"Master Zhou..."
"It's unfair, Master Zhou."
"The people you see now are not exiled laborers. These are people sent by Lord Liu."
"They have the supplies from Lord Liu. Not only are they well fed and warmly clothed, but they can also have meat every now and then."
"With good food and meat, they are definitely stronger than these laborers."
"The laborers assigned here don't have the physical strength to transport the ore, so they are all responsible for mining inside the mine."
The accountant knelt in the snow, shivering.
"Master Liu, please make the decision for me."
Liu Feng had already spoken to him before, so the chief clerk naturally placed all his hopes on Liu Feng.
Liu Feng didn't give any further explanation and simply greeted a villager who had just walked over.
"come over."
When the villager saw that it was Liu Feng calling him, he immediately put down the bamboo basket on his back and trotted to Liu Feng.
"Village Chief, what's going on?"
"Are you from Shanggou Village or Siwa Village?"
"From Shanggou Village. Village chief."
"I just heard from the accountant that you have meat to eat. When was the last time you had meat?"
