Chapter 353: Invitation
A total of 500,000 taels of silver, 6,000 pairs of iron armor, and 1,100 pairs of heavy armor were knocked out from the hands of the two enemies, which made Gao Yuan smile from ear to ear for the rest of the day, and all the guards in the mansion were also happy, and the hard work of the long journey had already been washed away by joy. They didn't know the details, but they said that Gao Yuan was so happy because he was about to marry his daughter-in-law and son.
Even knocking two strokes was a great success, which made Gao Yuan happy at the same time, but also clearly realized his own importance in the next battle against Donghu, otherwise the temperament of Ning Zecheng and Zhou Yuan would be so low, and they would be knocked out by themselves to spit blood and make a happy face.
Now, Gao Yuan is sure that Zhou Yuan is absolutely bent on defeating Donghu to create his own immortal cause, so for a guy like himself who has fought against Donghu many times and has made great achievements, he has to use it, and if he can't kill himself, he has to pinch his nose and reuse himself, otherwise, if he makes a little trouble, he will have to go around without eating.
And Ning Zecheng, Gao Yuan is still a little uncertain, this person must also want to defeat Donghu, but his purpose is definitely not as simple as Zhou Yuan, think deeply, this person may want to pick peaches in one fell swoop, on the day of success, maybe it is the day of his reckoning with Zhou Yuan, of course, Gao Yuan absolutely believes that among the people Ning Zecheng wants to deal with, he must definitely be regarded as a very important one, but he doesn't know how to go, at that time, he is the first or Zhou Yuan is the first.
This is just a vague feeling, Gao Yuan is not sure, after all, this guess is too bold, compared to Ye Tiannan, who has just returned to Dayan, his heels are not very steady, and he is just a small chess piece in their eyes, which can be manipulated at will, Zhou Yuan is a behemoth. This is not only Zhou Yuan holding the army, but also the Zhou family and the Ning family are the same, and they can be said to be deeply rooted in Dayan, and the relationship is also intertwined.
Knocking on his head, Gao Yuan sighed, sure enough, it was still not enough. I don't want to think about this, the enemy has a thousand ways, I have a certain rule, as long as my strength is strong enough, I can make the opponent helpless. This time, the money knocked from the two enemies was enough to put his team on top of the armament and go to another level.
Armor, this was a shackle of the Fufeng Army in the past, it took too much iron to build a pair of armor, and the iron consumed by a pair of armor was enough to fight dozens of spearheads and more than a dozen sabers, for Gao Yuan, who had a small cost. It's really more than worth the loss. This time, it solved its own big problem.
Now Gao Yuan spends money like flowing water, and the little capital he has saved in the past two years has to be used. Just when Gao Yuan set off for Langya, he had already ordered Cao Tiancheng to take out the wealth buried in Curie Pass, plus sweep Lu Liangshan and snatch it back from Feng Fayong. They were all sent to Jishi Mountain.
There is nothing left in Jishi Mountain, and a city must be built on a blank foundation. The amount of money spent, Gao Yuan didn't even have to think about it, he knew that it was definitely an astronomical amount.
Jishi Mountain, is Gao Yuan for himself to build as the foundation of the foundation, rather spend more money, but also not the slightest sloppy, this time, Gao Yuan took out all his old capital, but think about it is still too far away, can from the enemy to flicker a large amount of money and invest in his own career, what a happy thing? Wait until the day when Jishi City is completed, wait until where he sets up his own banner, I don't know how Ning Zecheng will feel? Does it feel like you've stabbed yourself?
Thinking about it, I think it's quite cola.
Once Jishi City has a certain scale, then everything that belongs to itself in Curie Pass will turn to where it will turn one after another, Fufeng, and in the next time, it will be slowly turned into an empty shell by itself. You can't put your own eggs in someone else's blue, this is Gao Yuan's most simple idea.
Sitting in your own study, thinking about how much it will cost to spend in Stone City? After being happy for a day, his brows furrowed again, money is never too much, and building a city is never enough. In addition to these, there is a problem that makes Gao Yuan more headache, that is, the population, build a city, but someone has to fill it in, that is his foundation, not a military village, and he can't have nothing but soldiers.
Their own soldiers are all professional soldiers, unlike other places in Dayan, except for a small number of standing troops, most of them are half peasants and half soldiers, put down their weapons and become peasants, and then mobilize when they want to fight, such soldiers, although they seem to have a large number, but when they start fighting, most of them are rabble, and they are unstoppable when they win, and once they fail, they will be defeated like a mountain.
Attracting people to settle near Jishi Mountain is another huge task. The more populous it is, the stronger the self-hematopoietic function of Stone City. What to use to attract people from the Central Plains to settle in Jishi City? Gao Yuan scratched his head, the current grassland can be said to be chaotic, there is not a day without fighting, and the ordinary people are only afraid that they will be discouraged.
Perhaps, land is a good way to attract people. There is a stone lake on the side of Jishi Mountain, with a water source, the surrounding area can be easily cultivated into fertile land, take the land to attract only people, as long as people are willing to go where, they will give the field, give livestock, give them a house for free, Gao Yuan touched his chin, anyway, the large piece of land is not his own, and he is not distressed to give away, and once these lands have an owner, they can collect taxes from them justifiably, for the long-term plan, invest some capital in the early stage that should be.
He picked up his pen and wrote down his thoughts one by one on the letter, asking people to send them back to Fufeng quickly and hand them over to Changshi Jiang Jiaquan, he could come up with a way, but how to implement it, as well as some detailed rules for implementation, had to let him worry about it.
Although Gao Yuan is far away from Fufeng, every two days, there will always be a fast horse galloping all the way to report the recent situation of Fufeng to him, and on his side, there are messengers running back every day, and his messengers have not been cut off on the official road from Liaoxi to Langya.
Sun Xiao's progress is very fast, this is the thing that makes Gao Yuan the happiest, in a short period of time, Sun Xiao has opened up the situation in Jishi Mountain, subdued the Gongsun family, Sun Xiao's skills made Gao Yuan even more breathtaking, this guy can finally be entrusted with a big responsibility.
Jishi City has laid the foundation and began to build the city wall, Sun Xiao sheltered the exiled slaves on the grassland and recruited those small Xiongnu tribes or routs who dragged their families and mouths The work was carried out extremely smoothly, for the Huns, Gao Yuan still had a certain degree of caution, and forcibly stipulated that when Sun Xiao recruited these Hun soldiers in Jishi City, he must have family members with him, as for those who are lonely, he must be careful and careful.
Jishi City will become a multi-ethnic fusion place, but the Central Plains people will have to make up the majority.
Put down the pen, blow dry the ink on the paper, carefully seal the seal, and was about to call Tie Hyun in, but there was a knock on the door, and Tie Hyun appeared outside the door, "General, Ye Zhen from Ye Mansion is here." ”
"Ye Zhen? What is he doing here? Gao Yuan asked in surprise.
"I don't know what to say, he said that he has something important to meet the general!" Pulling open the door, Tiehyun walked in.
Gao Yuan nodded, and handed the letter in his hand to Tie Hyun, "Arrange for people immediately, send it back to Fufeng, and hand it over to Lord Jiang." ”
"Yes!"
"Let Ye Zhen come over!" Hurriedly tidying up the desk, Gao Yuan continued.
"I know it!"
Tie Hyun walked away quickly, Gao Yuan rubbed his chin, what was Ye Zhen doing running over at this time? Ye Zhen is in the bottom of the leaf, his status is not low, Ye Zhong entered the office, and after becoming the commander of the guard of Yanwang Jiping, Ye Zhen is the first general of the Ye Mansion, and he must have been ordered by his father-in-law Ye Tiannan to come over so late.
"I've seen my uncle!" Ye Zhen strode into the study and shook his fist towards Gao Yuan.
"Is there anything important about coming here so late?" Gao Yuan nodded lightly.
"Yes, uncle, the head of the family invites you to come over, there is an important person from Jicheng, if you want to see your uncle, you can use his identity, but you can't come to visit your uncle publicly, so you can only ask your uncle to move, it is best not to let others know that your uncle has met him in private." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
When Gao Yuan heard this, he frowned, "Who is it that makes you so mysterious?" ”
Although there was no one else in the Zhilu Dao house except for the two of them, Ye Zhen still glanced around, and then said in a low voice: "Uncle, it is the inner history of Dayan Chun Yuyan and the county lord of Tianhe County, Ji Wugui, who are here." ”
"Chun Yuyan, Ji has no return?" Gao Yuan suddenly opened his mouth wide, Chun Yuyan He knows the Tao, and he has also met a few times, it is a lotus flower with a bright tongue, and the master who can say the dead alive, and Ji Wugui is a royal family, Tianhe County is also the royal family's own territory, it is the largest and richest territory of Dayan, Jicheng, and it is also included in Tianhe County. Ji Wugui can become the county lord of Tianhe County, and he is naturally a figure who is deeply trusted by King Yan.
"Why did they get here?"
"The excuse on the surface is naturally to congratulate the head of the family on marrying his daughter, but they have no friendship with their uncle, and if they meet in private, if they are found out by some people, it will inevitably cause more trouble, so they want to see their uncle in private." Ye Zhendao.
They want to see themselves, and they can't say anything yet. Gao Yuan thought about the meaning of this in his heart, they wanted to meet him, they should have been instructed by King Yan, otherwise there was no need to see him, it seems that the current King Yan Ji Ping is also very interesting! His father-in-law, Ye Tiannan, should be regarded as a complete king, and he has been wandering abroad with Ji Ping for ten years, and the relationship should be very good, but is this Chun Yuyan really reliable?
"Uncle!" Ye Zhen screamed.
"Wait a minute, after I change my clothes, let's go!" Gao Yuan stood up and said. (To be continued......)
