Ji Ya was engaged in construction in Yunzhong County, and in addition to issuing government decrees, she also began to gradually sort out various management departments. For example, let Yi Ji Ai Qing and Ding Xiaoxiao manage the Huimin Bureau, let Chun Yu Wuji and the Xiong brothers and sisters choose the appropriate people among the slaves to reorganize the White Tiger Feng Cong Corps, or let the little blacksmith Liu Ming go to the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau as a supervising apprentice, nominally to learn higher smelting technology, but in fact, Ji Ya just sent a slightly knowledgeable and loyal person into the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau.

Due to the start of the work of building a money village in the northwest, a lot of hot money poured into Yunzhong County, coupled with the continuous transportation of materials by Moluo, many soldiers who were in the military themselves, but went to engage in side jobs because of the problem of eating at home, also came back, after a series of deletions, some left with the cost of severance, and some stayed, so far the total number of troops has gradually increased from more than 30,000 to nearly 60,000.

According to the past practice, slave soldiers can only form an army as cannon fodder, and the treatment is very different from that of the regular army. But thanks to Ji Ya's decree, they can join the army as ordinary people, and as long as they can make great achievements, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to civilians.

Only a few tens of thousands of slaves were selected to join the army, and after a short period of three months of intensive training, the various armies assigned were also veterans and new recruits, so that they could get acquainted with them as soon as possible. In less than half a year, the strength in Ji Ya's hands has reached 130,000, of course, most of them cannot be called qualified soldiers.

Stone is a slave-born recruit who has no surname, or rather, all slaves have no surname. In order to make a great contribution to change his fate, he resolutely signed up with his two brothers, but only he passed the deletion. Now Stone is the hope of the whole family, and even the entire slave shack where his family lived, and they are too eager to come out of this place and change their identity, even if this person is not their own or their own people.

Although the stone worked hard with hope, his arrival made the original veterans extremely uncomfortable, such a slave cub in the past, who was only worthy of detecting traps in the first row or consuming the enemy's bow and arrows, can now wear leather armor and live with them in the same camp?

Many veterans can't get used to him, Lao Xu is one of them, he threw a basin of military clothes in front of the stone: "Hurry up and finish washing, don't delay the exercise, if you miss a little bit, beware of military law, don't blame me for not reminding you!he~te~" After saying that, he spit out a mouthful of old phlegm at the foot of the stone.

According to the regulations of the army, the individual is responsible for personal service, and if it is an official business such as emptying the toilet, shifts can be arranged. However, there are also bullying things in the barracks, and recruits have to do more things anyway, and they will be good when they become veterans. But what happened to the stone was different, since he beat him, he did all the work, and according to the words of the veterans, the slaves were not used for work. The stone did not refute, as a slave, whether it is work or insult, it is a habitual thing, where is it worth paying attention to. The only thing he wants to do now is to make a quick contribution and change his identity.

A situation like this happened in almost every military camp, but fortunately, Ji Ya's previous welfare was in place, and her own strength was strong enough, so it didn't cause a big disaster, otherwise people's hearts would be floating at this moment, and then a strong enemy would attack, and Ji Ya's career that she had just developed would be wiped out in an instant.

However, at this time, Ji Ya, Wan Li Zhengxiong, and Monmonda had already come to Droy City, fighting or fighting, Ji Ya asked herself if she was a good hand, but she couldn't do construction. She was a little confused when she heard a lot of copywriting things, which was more troublesome than the information left by the eldest brother.

So she took these two people out, and they were from Longjianmen, and they traveled to the west. And Monmonda himself is one of the border people, and it is enough to have these two people. Before the war, he went to his master Aloba to get a letter of introduction, and Droy is also a commercial city, which can give a lot of support to the Yunzhong Military Region. Nowadays, the large-scale development in the cloud needs investment everywhere, and it is always a little insufficient to rely on the support of Yunzhong County itself and Huadu.

Previously, Yunzhong County was still in a state of chaos, and the Droys, as merchants, would only wait and see, and would not easily invest in Ji Ya, but now the identity and power of Ji Ya in Yunzhong are naturally different.

As soon as she entered the city, Ji Ya was attracted by this lively city-state, and sighed from time to time in her heart, when will Yunzhong County be so lively. The city is filled with the smell of lamb stew, roasted naan and spices. Musicians sitting on the street play tambourine and dongbula. And the Droy girl beside them swayed her white and smooth waist with the beat, the bells on her bare feet tinkled at the ankles, but the tulle on her face could not hide the ten thousand customs of this exotic northwest land.

"What is this?"

"This is a date, which is not quite the same as our dates in the Central Plains. ”

"I'll taste it, well, it's delicious. Oh, what's that roast?"

"That's the intestines"

"Can lamb intestines still be roasted and eaten?"

Seeing that Ji Ya and Wan Li Zhengxiong had begun to indulge in shopping, Meng Mengda coughed twice: "Click, well, Your Highness, we still have business." ”

Ji Ya was a little embarrassed, and pulled the two of them over, but she didn't expect that she was getting carried away. This time, Ruan Yu originally wanted all the female guards to follow, but Ji Ya said that she didn't need it, except for Meng Mengda, what guards did she and Wanli need to compete? Even if there was any accident, Ji Ya would fly back with one in her hand, okay? If there were too many people, Ji Ya couldn't help it even if she wanted to save it. A few words made Ruan Yu lose his temper.

Xing Chongchong got a female guard, but when he really encountered something, he had to rely on Ji Ya to protect him, wouldn't that be a joke?

However, although she was not joking, Ji Ya had a great interest in the Ganliang region, after all, it bordered the western part of the Yunzhong Military Region, and whether it was trade or territorial defense, it was inseparable from understanding them, so she asked Meng Mengda.

Monmonda said: "Okay then, I'll talk to His Highness about the Ganliang region......"

The so-called Ganliang area is the Ganzhou and Liangzhou areas west of Yunzhong County, which are different from the Central Plains, because the land is vast and desolate, so these two states are much larger than the general state capitals. Although the state capital was divided, in fact, the control of the Great Zhou court was not strong, and a large number of border people gathered here, many times there were autonomous city-states of various tribes, and the court was at most to distribute gold books to the Burkes.

Monmonda also explained the Burke system, the so-called Burke is the official canonized by the imperial court, the northwest region is mixed by the Zhou people and border people, many places are ruled by local tribes, in the Gobi and the plateau to establish the Tucheng sand castle, the local people were canonized by the imperial court as Burke, and the Central Plains Prefecture Taishou level is the same, but more powerful than the Taishou, commanding the military and political power of a city, equivalent to the Taishou plus the general army. Some tribes are powerful enough to monopolize a city, or occupy most of a city, so the Burke of the city may also be the Khan of a certain tribe.

And there are three major forces in the Ganliang area: Ganman Alliance, Loess Dong Family, and Horse Bandit Xia Sandao.

Among them, the horse bandit Xia Sandao is a veteran thief, the strongest period has gathered tens of thousands of horse thieves and border people in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, coming and going like fire, aggression like the wind, no one can control it. Not only did it take action against the caravans, but also plundered various towns, and the harm was so great that it could be called the four great Kou along with the Holy Maiden Sect, Gao Fuhai, and Bai Jingcheng.

The others are just remote, this gang of bandits is too close to the garrison of the Demon Cloud Sea, and with the establishment of the Ganman Alliance, everyone reports to the group for warmth. Almost wiped out under the encirclement and suppression of many sides, Xia Sandao fled to the depths of the Gobi with thousands of horse thieves. It just so happened that the demon clan invaded at that time, and the Demon Cloud Sea had to give up the pursuit, and the later war led to a heavy blow to the Beida Camp, and the Demon Cloud Sea left south, and it took nearly ten years of hard work, and Xia Sandao also recovered his vitality and made a comeback.

For Ji Ya, this is a threat that must be eliminated, and as for the loess Dong family in the other two, she also has a little understanding: "What is the power of this loess Dong family?"

Meng Mengda replied: "The Dong family is a big family in Liangzhou, and they have been in contact with various tribes here for generations, there are about 30,000 horse infantry soldiers, and 60,000 servant soldiers of various tribes, and their strength cannot be underestimated. ”

The reason why Ji Ya asked about the Dong family was because Lin Yue and Qi Diaoyan had both mentioned this family.

Because the Dong family held control of the Xilai River (Jinsha River), they took out a large amount of gold sand and were very rich. The ancestral surname Pang was born in the green forest, gathered a large number of subordinates in the northwest half of the business and half bandits, and later discovered the gold sand of the Xilai River, so as to establish a family business. Then he entered the family of a nobleman surnamed Dong, secretly killed all the men, and has since obtained the title. In order to mine gold sand, they not only bought a large number of slaves, but also plundered other small tribes.

Being called the Loess Dong family has two meanings, one refers to the overlord on the Gobi, and the other is to allude to the family that controls the Jinsha River.

At the beginning, Moyunhai had the intention to solve this hidden danger, but the Dong family not only had a hand in panning for gold, but also had a hand in spending money, and they had filial piety to all the nobles and nobles in the capital, and even the Moyunhai side did not fall behind.

Unlike those aliens, the Dong family is the nobles of the Great Zhou after all, and their own strength is strong, so they don't have a good reason or a good opportunity. The Sea of Demons couldn't deal with them either, unless he could use spells to his heart's content.

When Lin Yue was an official in Beijing, he sent ice and charcoal to the important ministers of the capital from all over the country, including a share of the Dong family, although Lin Yue's level was not high, but the Dong family's gift giver did not leave him, which shows that he is thoughtful, and it is no wonder that he can dominate one side.

When Qi Diaoyan sent the information of the Dong family, Ji Ya also thought about removing this tumor, but the current strength of the Yunzhong Military Region is also a hard battle to deal with this nearly 100,000 army. On this issue, the opinions of several strategists were not to touch them, but also to take the initiative to make friends.

The Dong family is a family that likes to enclose land and be a soil overlord, although there have been many killings over the years, but there has been no extraterrestrial expansion, as long as Princess Ji Ya shows enough strength, then they will definitely bow down obediently, whether they will obey the order is not easy to say, but it is certain to contribute some gold sand. They are not bad for money, and for the Dong family, what gold can solve is not a thing.

Having said that, Ji Ya is still like a thorn in her back, a force that does not obey and oppresses one side, with nearly 100,000 troops on her side, how can this be reassuring?

Forget it, this matter will be in trouble in the future, now Ji Ya's target is not here, she asked again: "What about the Ganman Alliance?" This force is too remote, and even Qi Diaoyan has not been able to collect much useful information.

Monmonda said: "This is a long story, find an opportunity to talk to His Highness in detail, in short, it is ......"

Generally speaking, it is explained that more than 20 years ago, because of the extermination of the Moon Wolf Clan by the Demon Cloud Sea and a group of people from the rivers and lakes, many tribes around have a feeling of sadness for the death of rabbits and foxes, although the Moon Wolf Clan is fierce and belligerent, but it is finally a member of the northwest tribes, and although they attack the county seat and kill officials, the reason is that the government is untrustworthy in the first place. If the Demon Cloud Sea is just a punishment, the entire Moon Wolf Clan will be wiped out. This frightened the surrounding small tribes.

Therefore, in the name of organizing a bazaar, the 32 tribes of the 14 cities met in the Aman River beach in the north of Ganzhou, and agreed to take care of each other and advance and retreat together. and elected the old hero Itel as the first Great Khan. This alliance is now more powerful, and the original intention of its establishment itself has the meaning of confrontation with the Great Zhou military. How to get along with them in the future is probably also a problem.

Ji Ya was thinking about it when a child crashed into her. Even if she was absent-minded, she would not be succeeded by a pickpocket, and she turned over and grabbed the pickpocket's wrist and smiled: "Look what I found?"

The pickpocket immediately grabbed the harvest in his hand and threw it into the distance, and another small accomplice caught it and was about to flee, when he saw a flower in front of him, and the blonde woman who had been stolen appeared in front of him, and lifted him up in place: "You are not small to steal a traveler with a weapon on your back." ”

Not only the thief, but even the people on the street were scared by Ji Ya, she was...... Fly past?

Ji Ya and Wan Li Zhengxiong both carry big swords on their backs, ordinary people know that they are not easy to mess with, and the little pickpockets have already noticed it, so they naturally don't take it to heart. Monmonda was still a little hungry, so why did he suddenly do it?

Ji Ya smiled: "It's not right to steal things, as punishment, you will have to suffer a little." With that, he threw the little accomplice high, and the next moment flew to the already frightened little pickpocket and threw him high.

First the experience is soaring, followed by free fall. In the screams of the two, Ji Ya threw it up and caught it three more times. By the time they were put down, the two imps were already unsteady.

Ji Ya snapped his fingers and flew out two silver coins: "Take it to fill your stomach, find a job, steal at a young age, if you meet a master in the future, be careful of losing your life, let's go." The two imps hurriedly fled.

Wan Li Zhengxiong said with a smile: "Senior sister's method of controlling the strength and unloading is really amazing. ”

"It's a little funny, I didn't expect this kind of thing to exist in a commercial city like Droy. ”

Monmonda smiled bitterly, "This kind of thing happens anywhere. ”

Ji Ya shook her head: "I always believe that not leaving the road behind and never closing the door at night is not just an exaggerated and beautiful sentence in the history books, I will definitely try to do it." ”
