In the living room, Lao Xie called Su Gen and Heiwa back.

Heiwa has now transformed into half of Urian Hatton, and is well aware of the small tribes under Urian Hat.

"The tribe that fought with us was the Selbert tribe, a small tribe living across the river. The leader originally agreed to the scope of living across the river with Shabhutan, the co-lord of Urianha, but he did not expect to hit us."

"The people stationed in Kaiping Acropolis are from Shabhutan, the largest tribe in Urianha, and the orthodox Urianha."

"If we start a war with Urianha, we may not be able to get it. Although it is winter, the people of Urianha are more familiar with the snowfield than us."

Lao Xie raised his hand and slapped Heiwa:

"Jing his mother is more ambitions. Yang Hong is afraid of the Oirats. We are not afraid. Whoever is afraid of the fight will be afraid of whoever is afraid of."

Su Cheng frowned slightly, thinking about the next arrangement, he wanted to simulate it, but thinking about the situation where he almost fell off the horse's back after the last simulation, he couldn't help but shake his head. The simulation should be cautious.

"Through the root of the Pueraria, we will build small tribes in Urianha, so that they can be sold to them, such as trade, trade, salt, and tea bricks."

"Our goal is to let the glory of the Ming Dynasty shine on the grassland tribes. After the spring of next year, we will open up the road between Kaipingwei and Xuanfu, and use Kaipingwei as the place for trading with the Urianha people."

Lao Xie agreed to Heiwa, and he did whatever his father asked him to do. This is exactly what they are good at at night.

After the two left, Sun Yong was worried:

"Mr., trade and trade. This matter requires the court's approval. Otherwise, we will collude with the enemy in private, and the instinct of the censor Kedao's instinct to impeach you can fill our room."

Su Cheng glanced at Sun Yong, "This kid is not simple. It took only a few months to go from the big head to the deputy general. Now he already knows that there will be impeachment. The instinct of impeachment to the impeachment can fill the room.

I'm afraid I've read too much unofficial history.

"I will take care of everything, just mediate and do it. If it doesn't work, be careful not to slap your military stick."

Sun Yong smiled:

"Don't worry, my grandfather, we must do this beautifully. We don't have to wait until the snow melts, so we can control the front line from Xuanfu to Kaiping. The difficulty is the renovation of the official road and the garrison after Kaiping."

Su Cheng nodded:

"You summon the staff of the General Office to discuss a suitable charter with the commanders of the guards and report it to me."

When Sun Yong heard this, he had a bitter face. He originally wanted to ask his grandfather to show him a clear way, but now it's better, and the task has fallen on him again.

Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year is coming.

Because of the Xuanfu in Sucheng Town, he adopted an open-minded attitude towards business, and most of the merchants who traveled to and from the north came to Xuanfu for information. After a while, the lives of the locals in Xuanfu became much better.

Since the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the sound of firecrackers on the streets has never stopped. The children who are laughing and playing around the gunpowder smoke have added a lot of life to the slaughtering Xuanfu Town.

The stone that had not been seen for many days finally felt willing to appear.

He led a team of personal guards to the General's Mansion to pull a cart of firecrackers, and placed a plate of fire whips from the east end of the street in front of the General's Mansion to the west end.

With a crackling sound, Shi Tou entered the General's Mansion with a earthen ball.

"Master, Master, how do you think we made this fire thunder?"

He presented the earth eggs on his hand to Su Cheng like a stone offering treasure, and his tone was proud.

"This is what we gathered dozens of craftsmen and took many geniuses to make. Although this thing is not very powerful, it is just right to sell it. It has a loud noise, it looks good and beautiful."

Su Cheng glanced at the earthen balls:

"Didn't you ask you to increase the power of gunpowder? Why didn't you make it bigger, but it's smaller?"

Shi Tou nodded repeatedly:

"You guys, you guessed it right. It's true that I and the craftsmen have adjusted it and they actually made such things. They look so beautiful when they are put on. There is a sound on the ground and it goes into the sky. Another sound is heard, and Mars are flying all over the sky."

As he said that, Shi Tou glanced at Su Cheng timidly:

"This thing is very happy for the merchants. Master, they are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. The money we put in with gunpowder can be made."

Su Cheng touched the earthen eggs and it was made of mud. After drying, it condensed into one, without any gaps.

"Save a few, and let it be released on the Lantern Festival. Don't be released on the main festival. The Lantern Festival is lively in Jiangnan. I searched for him thousands of times, but the man was in the dim lights, and the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan."

Shi Tou scratched his head, a little puzzled. Why did the prince mention Jiangnan in a confused way? Could it be that Jiangnan has made such gunpowder?

The main hall is in Xuanfu in the most lively season. When it is still dark, the sound of firecrackers begin to ring throughout Xuanfu City. Because the control is lifted, almost every family is setting off firecrackers.

Firecrackers bid farewell to the old year. Su Baiyan and Su He, who had just arrived in Xuanfu from Kaizhou, also set off fireworks and firecrackers, especially Su He. They hadn't seen each other for a few months and had a dark face, became interested in firecrackers again.

A cart of firecrackers sent to the General's Mansion were sent to the general's mansion. Before dawn, he let the cart out half of it.

Because Su Cheng was not married, Bai Yan took the mistress in the backyard of the General's Mansion and distributed red envelopes and gifts to the relatives of the governors and commanders who came to pay New Year's greetings to his home.

In front of the General's Mansion, there were endless carriages and horses. In the endless smell of fireworks, groups of generals and officials were laughing and joking, coming and going, making it very lively.

Although Su Cheng was the general officer, he stood before dawn until the sun was noon. There were no generals under his command to pay New Year's greetings, so he could sit down and have a meal of dumplings.

"oops!"

Su He covered his cheek and started yelling, then spit out a copper plate, threw it on the table, and sucked the air conditioner.

The white salt probe looked at the copper plate:

"Yo, Su He, you are lucky this year. You have eaten lucky dumplings at the beginning of the year. You will definitely be lucky this year."

Su He covered his teeth that were almost knocked out and twitched the muscles on his face:

"I would rather not have this great fortune."

After dinner, Su Cheng put on cotton armor and followed Yang Xin to inspect various parts of Xuanfu. The border troops stationed in various cities had to comfort him. Although he had already sent all the money, food and grass before the New Year and the newly killed pig pork, the condolences of the chief general were also indispensable.

Except for the several garrisons in Dushikou that are far away, they are really inaccessible. Sucheng has to go and see small passes under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu.

After a day of running around, when Su Cheng and Yang Xin rushed back, it was already dark and the moon was in the sky.

At the gate of the city, when it was about to part, Yang Xin suddenly said:

"Mr., I received a letter from my family a few days ago. My uncle said that when my grandfather agreed to enter the Yang Mansion, he said that he would go to the Yang Mansion. Unexpectedly, this narration has been delayed until now and has not yet been completed."

Su Cheng held back his horse and asked Yang Xin:

"This is my fault. I had the opportunity to enter Beijing a few days ago, but unfortunately I failed to do so. After the New Year, if I could be summoned by Your Majesty, I would definitely go to Beijing to report my work."

Yang Xin's expression was dim:

"I'm not hiding it from my uncle. My uncle is in poor health. Although he is also a stint in the capital, he spends most of his time recuperating in the mansion. Most of the matters in the capital are controlled by Hou Longping and Hou Jing'an."

Su Cheng's expression was a little dim when he heard this. Yang Hong's military service for half his life, although he had won the title of King Yang, but he also ruined his body. How many generals could he be able to spend his old age secretly?

While thinking about this, Su Cheng was about to comfort Yang Xin. His personal guards Tao Cheng and Yang Yu came on horseback. When they arrived in front of Su Cheng, Yang Yu tied the reins and glanced at Yang Xin.

After hearing this, Yang Xin bid farewell to Su Cheng and urged the horse to go.

Seeing that Yang Xin had left, Yang Yu lowered his voice and said:

"There was an envoy from the Jinyiwei who arrived in the mansion and sent an order to order the marquis to personally announce it."

As he said that, Yang Yu handed out a memorandum.

Su Cheng's face changed. What kind of decree needs to be delivered to Xuanfu until the dynasty is in full swing.

Su Cheng took the order from Yang Yu, opened it and looked at it, his face immediately changed, his arms raised, and his voice was hoarse and loud:

"We have passed our military orders. From now on, the whole city will be banned from the night. Zhang Shitou and Sun Yong will be called to me, and three deputy generals will be ordered to suppress the three city gates in the northeast and west respectively, and any abnormal movements will be strictly prohibited."

As he said that, Su Cheng looked at the South Gate:

"Tonight, I will personally guard this city gate."

With the order from Su Cheng, the entire Xuanfu started to move.

Sun Yong rode his horse and headed straight to the south gate. He saw Sucheng and asked about the reason for the martial law in Sucheng.

Su Cheng glanced at Yang Xin, Sun Yong, Shi Tou and more than a dozen commanders, and his voice was hoarse:

"Let me hear it all. There will be no abnormal movements in Xuanfu tonight. Those who dare to move with swords will stop them on the spot. Those who dare to resist with weapons will be killed without any attention."

As he said that, Su Cheng glanced at the moon in the sky:
Chapter completed!
