Farming with A Business Game

Forced Labor

Fang Li thought she had heard it wrong and asked in disbelief, "Really?" She looked at Gu Daoxuan in disbelief.

　　The two looked at each other, both a little stunned.

　　The barbaric Tatars had been clamoring outside the city, as if they were going to attack the city. Unexpectedly, they were just pretending. They actually sent troops to sneak in. One of the teams was the one that Gu Jingyu met.

　　Gu Daoxuan reacted and keenly noticed the recent abnormalities.

　　It seems that someone understood his temper and did it deliberately.

　　He had been fighting the Tartars for decades and had already figured out their tactics. The man in hiding must also know this. He knew clearly that as long as he intercepted the news in this regard, Gu Daoxuan would be preconceived and would deal with the Tartars according to the old methods. He would never expect that the Tartars would change their strategy.

　　Gu Daoxuan only felt extremely scared and angry.

　　Why hasn't there been any news from the spies? If they want to capture a county and form a counter-encirclement against them, the other side must have mobilized a lot of troops. Since they have mobilized so many troops, can they really do it without anyone noticing?

　　the answer is negative.

　　Gu Daoxuan was unwilling to doubt his subordinates. Those thousand commanders were all promoted by him personally. He thought he had been good to them, but the facts were before him.

　　Gu Daoxuan patted his wife's hand, signaling her to be at ease, and began to think of countermeasures.

　　He must find out this traitor hiding in the dark, but not now.

　　There are many people in Feihong County. Once the city is broken, it will be a disaster for ordinary people. He will never allow this to happen.

　　"Father, let me go." Gu Jingyu said, "This matter must be kept secret and should not be known by too many people. I am familiar with Feihong County. Let me lead the troops there and catch them off guard before they form a siege."

　　Gu Daoxuan looked at his youngest son and felt that he had finally grown up, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think."

　　"Father didn't notice the Tartars reaching Shilipo, not because our scouting ability was poor, but because there was a traitor in the army. This person must be very familiar with father. If we make too much noise and he finds out, he will definitely tip off the Tartars. Who knows what conspiracy they will come up with by then. Besides, our army's morale is low right now and we need a victory to boost morale. Why not take advantage of their tactics..."

　　After watching the two people whispering for a long time, Fang Li smiled, then turned around and stood at the door of the tent, observing outside vigilantly.

　　While soldiers far away in the northwest were eating dry biscuits that were so choking that they bled and died, the palace was building a magnificent sea park for Concubine Han.

　　For a while, the people complained bitterly.

　　Because the project was so huge, most of the tax revenue went to the northwest. The old emperor, with an empty treasury, issued an imperial decree and began to forcibly conscript craftsmen. He demanded not only money but also people. Each household had to provide one person. If you don't want to do the labor, you can just pay more money and find someone to do it.
