After arranging things for the time being, Lin Yue and Ji Ya rode to the outside of the city, watching the small city not far away poured into tens of thousands of people, and the construction was in full swing.

Seeing Ji Ya's tiredness, Lin Yue smiled: "How about it, it's not easy to be a ruler, even if the territory is not big, but things are still so complicated." ”

Ji Ya nodded, although she had studied a lot during this time and had a certain amount of mental preparation, she still felt tricky today: "Master, you have used up all the charms you gave me, can you ......?"

Lin Yue sighed: "This can't be done, you are also the lord of one side now, how can you always go back and forth like this, besides, the land of the four states under the rule of Yunzhong County is more than a thousand miles long from north to south, this is not something that a flying sword and a few runes can take care of, you have to consider building a new mode of transportation." ”

Whether it was the previous supply of Wulonggou or the territory of the Yunzhong Military Region, it was all brought back by Ji Ya Imperial Sword flying north and south in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and going to Huadu relied on the rune paper given by Lin Yue. Although the logistics of the current territory have been established in a short period of time, how can the princes of a certain force personally go to do the logistics? Now the territory is small and nothing, and in the future, the supply of the entire Yunzhong County will not be able to rely on Ji Ya himself to carry it back from the south.

Ji Ya didn't think of this, but this place is in the northwest of the Great Zhou, if it weren't for a monk like her, if she wanted to transport supplies from Huadu to here by land, it would be really difficult.

Ji Ya could only answer: "There is going to be a big war soon, I'm afraid that in a short period of time, all industries in Yunzhong County will wither, and production will not be able to resume, I am here to let everyone live a good life, if it makes the people more difficult because of this, what face do I have to face them?"

Lin Yue shook his head: "Do you know why I want you to recruit the Battelle cavalry as soon as possible and establish a good relationship with the border people first?"

"Is it to trade with them?" Ji Ya knew that it must not be purely cavalry to fight, there must be a deeper reason.

"No, it's so that when you lead the troops to the west in the future, you won't be ostracized by other border people. ”

"Why?" Ji Ya was shocked when she heard this, although she single-handedly established the territory of the Yunzhong Military Region, and also knew that the future unification of Yunzhong County would inevitably require a big war, but after the war, what she had to do was not to calm the people's hearts and open up wasteland?

Lin Yue turned over and dismounted: "Before coming here, I met a benevolent brother in the capital, from me, you have to call him uncle, he told me about the current situation......

Then Lin Yue told Ji Ya about part of his conversation with Long Aotian. First of all, there is the problem of material transportation, it is almost impossible to go north directly from Huadu, all the princes of the Central Plains are fighting, even the shortest road has to pass through several forces, and the dredging relationship between families is not only time-consuming and laborious and costly, the key is that once the transportation route is manipulated, it is extremely unfavorable for this emerging force.

If you don't go to the Central Plains, then there are only two days to go, one is to go north from the coast, pass through Wu and Qi, and then land and transport, Wu Hou Chen Shuming and Qi Hou Yingrui are good friends with Lin Yue, which is no problem. But after going ashore from Qi Land, he will definitely pass through the Yan Land controlled by the Ma family before he can come over, and now that Ji Ya and the Ma family have formed a feud, I am afraid that this road will no longer work, even if it costs the price to open it temporarily, the Ma family still doesn't want to break it? It is impossible to send your own key points to the hands of the enemy, and no one can know.

And the other way is from the southwest of the original Great Zhou occupied by the Suzaku Dynasty to the north, through Shu from the northwest bypass, there is no other force here, as long as the Vermilion Bird Dynasty and the Marquis of Shu can be done, the former one is not easy to say, but the latter is currently a simple cooperation with Lin Yue, and Shu after years of conquest, the strength has long been greatly damaged, Shu Hou is now the public enemy of the world, if you can reach an agreement with them, let the northwest materials pass through here, can not help but deepen the relationship between the two sides, Shu can also share some dividends.

And there is also a problem with this trade route, that is, there is a western aid county between Yunzhong County and Shudi. This is nominally the state and county of the Great Zhou, in fact, it is the Zhou people and the border people mixed together, the imperial court has not been strong control here, many places are ruled by local tribes, in the Gobi and the plateau to establish the Tucheng sand castle, and the local recognized administrators will be 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.

Lin Yue paused and said: "There are three forces in Xiyuan County, the Loess Dong Family, the Ganman Alliance, and the Horse Bandit Xia Sandao, these three forces must have different ways to deal with them, and I will talk to you in detail when you unify the Yunzhong Military Region." ”

Ji Ya suddenly felt that her head was big, and as her power became bigger and bigger, she always felt that she had embarked on a path that she couldn't grasp, as if she was getting farther and farther away from the original intention of saving the people. Recalling that he dined with the talented girl Zhu Ye Qingrou in Mingyue Building, Zhu Ye Qingrou also wrote a poem:

Hongru talks about the bright moon building, and the women are also worried about the troubled times.

Listen to the heroic things, and there are few benevolent and righteous general schemes.

After a thousand years of triumphant returns, who will take the lead?

The cowards ran without wind and rain, and Danqing left his name as a prince.

I thought that those troubled princes ignored the people of Li and fought for power and profit all day long, seizing territory. All the soldiers are reckless, they only know war and enjoyment, and who is not a victim of the troubled times in the Wulonggou forces? And after I really joined, I realized what it means to be involuntarily. I thought I could do better, but who knew that in the end, I had no choice, and then I became the most annoying person ever.

There is another point that Lin Yue did not explain, in fact, as long as she exerts her strength, Ji Ya can't overpower herself no matter how much she tosses, and the name of a princess cannot last forever. If Ji Ya wants to gain a foothold, and if she wants to serve the public, she must have military merit and prestige, and it is true that she has many elite soldiers and strong generals. However, the forces adjacent to the Yunzhong Military Region are not easy to provoke, especially the thousand-year-old Ma family in the northern Xinjiang, and it is impossible not to help her if she really wants to do something, which will inevitably deal a blow to her prestige.

Although it was only a short contact, Lin Yue had already understood that Ji Ya's forces had been divided into three factions, the Yuanzhou faction he created, the Changzhou faction led by Ji Ya, and the Yunzhong faction of the local forces. Among them, the Yuanzhou faction has Lin Yue, so the high-end power is the strongest. The Changzhou faction has the highest collective combat power because of its high masters, while the local faction has the widest distribution of power.

In addition to the unanimous external faction under Ji Ya, the Changzhou faction must also be subdivided into the remnants of the Holy Maiden Sect headed by Chun Yu Wuji, Geng Chang, and Huangfu Yan, and the Great Zhou military led by Chang Xiu and Ruan Yu. Even Ji Ya didn't actually establish absolute authority.

Lin Yue was very sensitive to this, because he had learned from the past of Elven Island, but one of the three sects was torn apart from within. So there needs a war here, an enemy can't be too strong, and the harvest will be great, Lin Yue doesn't need to make a move, and it can also allow Ji Ya to not only establish prestige, but also to unify all the troops, so it seems that it is necessary to unify the grassland and the Gobi in the west.

As for Ji Ya's logistics, Lin Yue said: "After all, the rune paper capacity is limited, and the materials here are enough to last for a while, let Huadu stock up first, and I will go back to find an old acquaintance to help, she can top you ten times in one trip, since you are already the leader here, the war is imminent, you should put more thoughts here." Even if it doesn't help in terms of military strategy, it can at least be inspiring. ”

"Yes, Master. Ji Ya nodded, worthy of being a master, just go to a friend, and work ten times faster than herself.

In fact, this person Ji Ya also knows, it is the disciple of Hanjiang Diaosuo Mo Luo, but she did not see the other party's methods when she was in the Lingshan Sect before, she was the person responsible for transporting food in the Holy Maiden Sect, and she used the magic weapon Qiankun Basket to catch Lin Yue and two thousand soldiers and horses, this magic weapon is not only large in capacity, the key is that it can be loaded with living things, as long as it is better than Ji Ya's efforts to make a few trips.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Yue familiarized himself with the situation and prepared to take a trip to Lingshan, although Mo Luo and he were old, but after all, the death of Mo Yunhai was related to her, and the three generations of disciples in Butterfly Valley also had a grudge and entanglement with her, if they didn't make an appointment in advance, they would talk about it when the materials were ready, wouldn't it be embarrassing for people to disagree?

The master and apprentice rode back, Lin Yue flew to the Lingshan faction, and Ji Ya walked around, although her blonde hair was very eye-catching, but this place already belonged to the northwest, although the Yunzhong Military Region was dominated by Zhou people, and there were border people of all kinds of hair colors and pupil colors. These tens of thousands of people don't know Ji Ya, and even most of them don't know Lin Yue, but this does not prevent them from being loyal to Lin Yue.

Walking in the crowd, Ji Ya remembered Master's previous words, originally I only wanted to create a pure land for the people of Limin, but I didn't expect to end up still in the midst of killing and chaos, was it really that I was naïve from the beginning?

Tens of thousands of people are busy, and Ji Ya's appearance is at most a surprise, and they still have their own jobs. The small people in Yucheng are widows, and the group of people who had settled in Wulonggou before really can't accommodate these tens of thousands of people now, so they can only separate the men and women first, and then resettle them in a centralized manner, because it is impossible to resettle empty houses and tents by household. Even the barracks were combined as much as possible, squeezing out about a third of the tents.

Ji Ya, who was walking in the crowd, happened to hear the conversation of the family, "Child, mother, you take Xiaobao over to make do with it first, and I will go to work for the master, and strive to get over as soon as possible." ”

"Master, then be careful, don't get too close to the battlefield...... Also, do a good job for the master. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured, we don't have to go to the battlefield, and we don't even have to print our son, where can I find such a good master? I will definitely work hard and earn more rations to come back." ”

Ji Ya looked at the family that was about to be separated with some silence, the man's face was engraved with words, this is the symbol of a slave, the symbol of a female slave will not be on the face, thinking that this family is a slave. There are two children, the older one is eight or nine years old and follows the man, and the younger one is carried by the woman, and although the men and women are placed separately, children under the age of six are allowed to follow their mothers.

For example, in today's chaos, many powerful people died, their slaves lost their masters, and they had to escape the war, so they became de jure fugitive slaves.

Becoming a fugitive slave in the Great Zhou means that anyone can use it, anyone can kill it, and they are branded on their bodies, and they are slaves from generation to generation. Only the work that cannot be done every day until old age and death, and in the event of a battle, he will rush in front of the regular army as cannon fodder, even if he makes meritorious service, it is just an extra piece of meat in the meal, if it is not to encourage other cannon fodder to die enthusiastically, I am afraid that even this piece of meat will be saved.

Male slaves shed blood and sweat, and even buried their bones in nameless places, but what about female slaves? They also suffered physical and mental torture, and young female slaves were not only to work, but also to be ravaged by the master's house or steward, and when they were old, they would be forcibly rationed to male slaves, so as to strengthen the group of master slaves, and the master would be rewarded for having more children. In the eyes of the superiors, this is no different from raising a herd of cattle and sheep in captivity, and even less valuable than these animals.

During the war in the Central Plains, Wu Yan in Yuanzhou not only rescued the displaced people, but also received a batch of ownerless slaves in the name of Lin Yue, due to legal principles and limited materials, so their identity is still slaves. However, Lin Yue has a few rules on his side, he can distribute rations according to his work when he works more, he does not need to act as a pioneer in the event of war, and the descendants of slaves do not need to be branded.

It's just that this last one is enough to make these slaves grateful, which is also one of the reasons why Lin Yue wants to have a future for Wu Yan, he feels that his territory is different from other places, not only exudes vitality, but also has great respect for himself, it is because Wu Yan has done a lot of righteous deeds in the name of Lin Yue, which also makes Lin Yue, the shopkeeper, a little ashamed.

Ji Ya knew the general situation of Yuanzhou from the military council, such a family was not complicated, and she guessed their experience in three or two clicks. Although they are all slaves, of course they are different from the beacon border city of Yuanzhou, but even so, they are still full of hope to work for Lin Yue. The reason is that this master gives them a full meal, so that they do not need to be sent to death, and do not leave a mark for future generations. These are very low-cost and non-technical means, but they let their families repay each other with death. And they look forward to war, because it will be more beneficial to them, and their future happiness may be built on the blood and blood of others, but who can blame them?

Ji Ya packed up her mood and left the resettlement point, she knew that this war would not drag on for a long time, as soon as the military discussion ended, the fast horse of the herald began to gallop in all directions, and at the latest, the unified footwork of the Yunzhong Military Region was about to take the first step.
