Chapter 143: Building Jingsi Tower

It was the sixth day of the third lunar month. Three days ago, Langdiao County unexpectedly ushered in another light snow.

Now the snow has melted, but there are still some traces in the mountains and fields.

The spring seedlings just planted a few days ago, encountered such a light snow, which made the farmers feel a little nervous. As soon as today's sunny, everyone was busy going to the ground to inspect. Because of this, Qian Li and Zhan Lian, the two chief and deputy farmer appointed by Liu He, were also very busy.

Fortunately, most spring seedlings are not seriously injured and will not affect the harvest in the first half of the year.

Although everything is as usual in the county town, there have been some changes.

Near the city gate, a group of people gathered here, and you said something or something, as if you were discussing something important.

"Oh, our county magistrate Liu recruits craftsmen to build a tower. What do you think he can do to build a three-story small tower in the county government?"

"Hey, what do you care about him? Didn't you see it? It says that two meals a day are served. After the pagoda is built, everyone will give you a hundred dollars! Where can I find such a good thing?"

"That's right, thanks to the farm tools improved by County Magistrate Liu, it is much easier to do farm work now than before. Now that spring planting is over, we have nothing to do, so we can make an extra hundred dollars, why not do it?"

"Really? You won't end up eating braised vegetables and even cheating and don't pay for your wages, right? The County Magistrate Yang used to do this a lot when he was there."

"How do you talk? Who is our County Magistrate Liu? How could he do such a dirty thing? If you don't believe it, don't go. Anyway, I'll sign up now!"

"Don't worry, I'll go too, wait for me!"

In just two days, more than a hundred people flocked to the county government office to sign up.

The person in charge of the registration was Chief Qian Ting. He and two people registered the list for these people who came to register and issued a professional license.

The following day, a three-story pagoda in the county government's backyard began to work hard.

Liu He stood under the shade of a tree in the yard, looking at the construction site in front of him, but his heart couldn't help but feel pain.

"This Jingsi Ta is so expensive. During this period, it depends on the points obtained by Cheng Mian, Qian Li, Zhao Chang, Zhan Lian, and Zhang Su's two kids after improving their attributes. In addition, the remaining ones before, there are only more than 800 points in total. This time, it will cost 500. When can you get rid of the fate of this pauper?"

But when I cry poorly, it is time to exchange this meditation tower.

Now the attributes of my brothers and others have reached a bottleneck. If you want to continue to improve, you can only rely on long-term combat accumulation, and the "cheating device" of Jingsi Tower.

Cui Jun came back from outside and saw Liu He who was "hiding in the shade of a tree in a corner, so he walked quickly towards him.

"Lord, Jun has something important to report."

Cui Jun looked serious and his tone was a little anxious, and Liu He felt inexplicably nervous.

"But there is news from the Taiping Army?"

It's time to calculate that Liu He has been paying close attention to the news about the Taiping Sect during this period. Cui Jun has a group of friends from the world of martial arts. Before he came to join Liu He, he specially contacted these friends and relied on them to collect information for himself.

Cui Jun nodded in a heavy mood at this time.

"The lord is expected to be right. Zhang Jiao did raise an army, but it was not on the fifth day of the lunar month, but on the fourth day of the lunar month."

Liu He frowned, as if he realized something was wrong inside.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

He conquered Tang Zhou, a person who would have reported to the court in history, which led to Zhang Jiao's initiation in advance. Without his informant, the court would not find out that something was wrong with the Taiping Cult. As long as Zhang Jiao was asked to reprimand according to the plan, the court would likely be temporarily paralyzed. Then, the princes from all over the country began to have the legal power to recruit soldiers on their own a few years in advance in history, and he could take advantage of the situation to rise.

But why did this corner suddenly get up in advance, even if it was only one day.

Cui Jun also had some doubts in his eyebrows.

"Jun is not very clear about this. According to the news from the heroes of the martial arts that Jun made, on the third day of the lunar calendar, the Luoyang City Defense Army suddenly moved a large-scale mobilization. Then the next day, before dawn, Zhang Jiao suddenly appeared less than a hundred miles east of Luoyang City. He shouted, "The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand." For a moment, more than 100,000 Taiping Army surged out of the mountains and villages in Luoyang, led by ten commanders of Qu, and suddenly attacked Luoyang City."

"At the same time, eleven generals in the city suddenly announced their rebellion against the court. In response to the Taiping Army, they led their troops to open the city gate and welcome Zhang Jiao into the city. Fortunately, the court seemed to have prepared for a long time and did not let them succeed."

"Not only that, there were even news that there were always regular attendants in the palace, who suddenly led the guards and the little yellow gate to try to break into the current palace of His Majesty and hold the emperor hostage, but I don't know if the news is true or false."

Each of the news that Cui Jun said was enough to shock the world, but it did not scare Liu He.

"The third news should be true. There should be two people in the Zhongchangshi, named Feng and Xu Feng, respectively."

"It turns out that it is these two, that's a big wonder. There are twelve people in the Central Secret Service, who are close ministers of the Emperor. These two people have a rift with Zhang Rang and other ten others. Zhang Rang is the most favored by today's son. It is estimated that these two people are afraid of being suppressed and retaliated by Zhang Rang in the future, so they will take risks."

"Oh? There is also this secret, I don't know."

Liu He only saw these two names in historical materials in his previous life. As for why the two gave up on good emperors and ministers and wanted to rebel with Zhang Jiao, he didn't know. Now that he heard Cui Jun say this, he solved this doubt.

Liu He rubbed his temples, and the sudden change in the situation in front of him made him confused.

"It seems that the court suddenly got some news a few days ago and then became prepared. If it weren't for this, even if Zhang Jiao's arrangement might not be able to subvert the country, it would probably be enough to cause the current court to suffer a tragic blow."

"Yes, Jun is also curious. Who did the news pass to the court? Although Jun once wrote a letter to tell his father about this matter, it was a few months ago, not to mention that he didn't believe it at all."

After thinking for a while, Liu He collected all the historical knowledge he had learned in his previous life, but he couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Forget it, no matter who he is to inform him, there is no fundamental impact on the overall situation anyway, and Zhang Jiao will never succeed. The only difference is how much shock it has caused to the current court. Let's take good care of ourselves first. The Taiping Army led by the commander of the commander of Qu, Wulu, mentioned in the letter from Tang Zhou, should be not far from here. You must be more vigilant at these times."

Cui Jun nodded: "Don't worry, lord, the military affairs in the city and Huangshui Township are in order. If there are indeed attackers, they will definitely fall into the lord's careful arrangement."

"That's good..."

Before Liu He finished speaking, he suddenly heard an urgent report.

"Report..."

Liu He and Cui Jun's nerves suddenly became tense.

"Reported to the county magistrate, about ten miles northeast of the city, a group of people were found, very similar to the dress described by the county magistrate. They wore yellow turbans and had different weapons and armor. Some even took farm tools as weapons. Now this group of people are coming to the county town!"

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and said, "Finally come!"
