Chapter 21 Chen Yi asks for help
Yanzhou. Taishan County. Nancheng.
Tao Ying followed Tao An to an open space in the county town, where a large number of craftsmen gathered here, and was preparing various materials for repairing the houses in Nancheng.
Tao An gathered the carpenters together and brought them to Tao Ying.
"I pay homage to Tao Fujun!"
"My benefactor is here, please be worshipped by a villain!"
...
When the carpenters saw it was Tao Ying, they all knelt down to worship. This was their savior and his parents.
"Dear masters, don't need to be polite. I want you to make something."
Tao Ying smiled and comforted the carpenter, without saying nonsense, letting everyone gather in a circle. He stood in the middle, took a wooden stick and drew it in the open space.
"This is a new type of transport called a wheelbarrow. Look at it, how long can you build one?"
The carpenters were in a big uproar. Such inventions and creations were generally not passed on, and Tao Ying actually showed them in public.
Tao Ying ignored the carpenters' comments and drew wooden barrels, wooden basins, various tables, chairs and benches next to it, which are essential items to improve people's living standards.
"These processes are not complicated, but they can be better at drinking the soup. If you make them, you can sell them to Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou to make money, and also improve our own quality of life."
All the carpenters are craftsmen who can understand at any time. They were shocked by Tao Ying's imagination and fell to the ground one after another, calling for the rebirth of the ancestor and feeling grateful.
"You get up, first choose a leader, set up a furniture and farm tools workshop in Nancheng, and lead everyone to make a fortune together."
"Now, try to make a wheelbarrow first, which is a necessary tool for transporting grain in our army. If it is flexible and durable, all purchases in Taishan County will be ordered with you in the future."
The reason why Tao Ying asked carpenters to set up workshops and expand production was to intend to cultivate the prototype of modern industry in Taishan County.
The development of history has proved that only industrialization can guarantee the nation's standing firm.
"Only industrialization can I have the courage to dream of dominating the earth!"
Of course, this is also where Tao Ying makes money.
"Okay, I will live up to the high expectations of the mansion!"
With drawings, orders, and skills, you can make sure you make money without losing money. The carpenters are naturally ecstatic.
After Tao Ying left, the carpenters continued to observe and ponder the "drawings" on the ground. After they were familiar with it, they divided the work and started to make a wheelbarrow sample.
"Master..."
Tao Ying was about to go and see the craftsmen who went north to Mu County tomorrow, but suddenly Sun Guan's voice came from behind.
When Tao Ying turned around, he saw Sun Guan holding a silk book in his hand and hurried towards him.
"Lord, Lu State was attacked by Yellow Turban bandits, and now Bian County has received a document of help from the request for help."
————
Yuzhou, Lu County, Prime Minister's Office.
The restless Prime Minister of Lu Chen Yi paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
"The country's small soldiers are few and few, and they are really unable to save themselves!"
The small state of Lu has six counties under its jurisdiction.
Nowadays, a large number of Yellow Turbans in Wenyang County have resumed chaos, and there is a vague trend of developing towards the capital Lu County.
However, within a country, there are less than 3,000 soldiers available.
This number of people scattered to various counties to prevent bandits and prevent bandits, let alone face tens of thousands of Yellow Turban bandits.
"Pingju, don't sway back and forth again, I'm almost fainted by you."
There was still one person present in the hall. It was Kong Rong and Kong Wenju who returned home after being ill due to disagreement with his superior Censor Zhao She.
"It's useless to be anxious now. Tell me where have all the documents that are urgently requested for help?"
The reason why Kong Rong sat in the prime minister's house today was because the Yellow Turbans resurrected, Chen Yi was invited to discuss countermeasures.
"The documents sent to Yanzhou include Li Zan, the prime minister of Dongping, Xu Qi, the prime minister of Rencheng, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, Chen Gui, the prime minister of Jibei County, and Tao Yingshi, the prefect of Taishan County."
Chen Yi returned to Kong Rong and sat down, and told him about his posting to ask for help in a net.
"Only the Minister of Pei Yuan Zhong's office sent to this state to the emergency documents for help, the Minister of Pei, also sent to the Huangzhou Patriarchate in Qiao County."
Chen Yi was also helpless. Lu State belonged to the capital of Yuzhou, but was wrapped in Yanzhou, just like an enclave in Yuzhou.
Therefore, when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, the states of Qizhou cannot relieve the near thirst. Instead, it is faster and safer to ask for help from the counties and states in Yanzhou.
"These places are all dependent on the lips and teeth of the Lu Kingdom, so we should ask for help from him nearby."
Kong Rong nodded frequently while stroking his beard and began to analyze the possibility of sending troops in these places.
"Li Zan, the prime minister of Dongping, is cautious and will not send troops too quickly."
"The Prime Minister of Rencheng State Xu Mengyu, his shoes are refreshing and he stands upright in the court. He has few soldiers in his hands, but he is the easiest to send troops."
"Chen Hanyu, the prime minister of Jibei, also faces the threat of the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou, and it is still difficult to protect himself, and he may not be able to send troops to resolve the difficulties of Lu."
"Yuan Boye, the prefect of Shanyang, grew up and could study hard, climb high and teach, be famous in the world, and respond to all requests; but he had no soldiers, even if he sent troops, it would be difficult to resolve the danger of Lu!"
"Although the prime minister of Pei Yuan Zhengfu, who was born in the Yuan family of Runan, who was born in the four generations and three dukes, was timid and afraid of things, and he was not good at attacking and defense. If there was no commander of the state governor, there would be no hope of sending troops."
"The state governor Huang Ziyan, who is in charge of the court with his knowledge, is anxious about the difficulties of the country, will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Yellow Turban invade the State of Lu, but..."
When talking about Huang Wan, the maid of Yuzhou, Kong Rong frowned slightly, showing a helpless expression.
"Qiao County to Lu County is more than 700 miles apart. Even if you rush to the horse, you will have to run for two days before you can arrive. I am afraid that the Yellow Turban bandits will not give Lu a lot of time to wait for assistance!"
Even if Kong Rong doesn't remind him, Chen Yi will not have hope for Huang Wan.
"Besides, Yuan Zhengfu had several battles with the Yellow Turban bandits the day before yesterday, and he was afraid that his vitality would not be restored. Even if the Huangzhou Governor sent troops, the Pei State would not have many troops to adjust."
In the battle between Yuan Zhong and Zhang Kai, Chen Yi has received the report of the war. Huang Wan wants to send troops to rescue Lu, so he can only collect garrison soldiers in Yuzhou. But this takes time, but Lu is just missing time.
Therefore, Chen Yi sent Yuan Zhong a letter of help, just to be a living person; sending a message to Huang Wan is a routine matter.
"Huh..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Kong Rong's hand that was stroking his beard suddenly paused, let out a light eh, frowned, and felt like he had missed something, trying hard to recall what Chen Yi said to himself before.
"By the way, Ping Ju just mentioned Tao Ying, the prefect of Mount Tai. What's going on?"
Kong Rong, who remembered, raised his eyebrows and stared at Chen Yi with a puzzled look on his face.
"When did the imperial court appoint the new prefect in this Taishan County?"
Since the former prefect Zhang Ju rebelled, there has been no new prefect in Taishan County, and Kong Rong knew about it.
"Also, how does this Tao Ying sound familiar?"
"Xuzhou Governor Tao Gongzu has a son who seems to be called this."
Hearing the few questions Kong Rong asked, Chen Yi nodded helplessly.
"The new Taishan Prefect Tao Ying is Tao Chongguang, the second son of Tao Xuzhou."
Tao Ying was suddenly represented as the prefect of Mount Tai, and Chen Yi was inexplicably surprised.
As for Tao Ying's reputation, it is difficult to comply with the prefect of a county, even a local order.
"But who made Tao Wanfu have a governor's father!"
Of course Chen Yi doesn't envy Tao Ying. If you compete with your father, Chen Fan will be a few streets ahead of Tao Qian regardless of reputation or popularity.
"'A kind and gentleman'?"
Chen Yi sneered in his heart.
If Tao Qian had not taken advantage of the loopholes in Taishan County and took out huge sums of money, Chen Yicai would not believe that he could handle the position of county magistrate for his son Tao Ying.
"It's indeed Tao Gongzu's son!"
After obtaining Chen Yi's confirmation, Kong Rong nodded and shook his head.
"Tao Gongzu has been upright and righteous, and has a strong body. He has been gentle and kind, and has ordered Shu and Lu to love the people and have a public heart in the Han Dynasty."
"But, his son Tao Ying is a playboy, and this move may not be beneficial to Mount Tai or Xuzhou!"
Kong Rong and Tao Qian have a very close relationship, so naturally they know the virtues of his two sons. It is reasonable that he does not like Tao Ying.
"Yi has heard of it. I'm just sending a document to Tao Chongguang, but I'm just a dead horse to treat it."
"Besides, in Taishan County, today, except for the hidden dangers left by the Zhang Ju rebellion, even the Yellow Turban bandits were also spread throughout the Taishan counties. The day before yesterday, the bandit Zhang Kai had just attacked Nancheng County, which was enough for Tao Chongguang to deal with it."
Chen Yi naturally did not like Tao Ying, or he was even more optimistic about the current Taishan County.
"It's still difficult to save yourself, how can you get the strength to save Lu?"
However, Bian County is close to Nanwuyang, and Chen Yi is just holding a more path and a more hopeful mind.
