Of course, Zou Yu didn't do anything desperately, although he politely refused to help them, but said that he could trade a lot of pottery and salt, so that they could make more money on the difference, so everyone was happy.

At the end of September, the people of Shuangfeng Mountain came back, and this time they brought a lot of surprises, not only more than 500 people, but also a batch of iron ingots and a batch of weapons.

"This is the homeless people they gathered along the way!" Bai Suhua said with a serious face. In the past few months, dealing with large and small affairs in the city, there has been a more calm momentum on his body, which is more atmospheric than before.

"Yang Xuangan rebelled! The imperial court will definitely withdraw its troops, and this time the conquest of Goguryeo ended without a problem, and I don't know how many good men died, which is really sad and lamentable! Zou Yu sighed. It was learned from the mouth of the people that Yang Su, the eldest son of Yang Su, the prince of Situ Chu and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took advantage of Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo and rebelled in Liyang.

Even if you don't know the history, you can understand that Yang Guang will definitely withdraw from the army, which means that this expedition to Goguryeo will have nothing to gain except for causing trouble for the people and losing money.

"Senseless Dumb King! It's better to be killed, but it's a pity that so many innocent people died. Hei Sumei vented her anger indignantly.

"The troubled times have risen, and I don't know what happened to Uncle Zhang? Whether to return to the Central Plains. Zou Yu said worriedly, after all, I have been together for more than half a year, and it is good for myself, it is impossible to say that I am not worried, after all, in some ways, the fate of several people has been led astray by myself.

"Brother Yu, don't worry, they are auspicious, and they will definitely turn evil into good fortune." Bai Suhua comforted.

Hei Sumei is the same year as Zou Yu, and Bai Suhua is half a year younger, so at Zou Yu's request, they all call him Brother Yu.

"Well, I hope so!" Zou Yu put away his mind and seriously flipped through the fish in his hand.

From promising to cook for the two of them in person, after making it once, Zou Yu often cooked for them, mainly grilled fish. This grilled fish is more like teppanyaki, looking for mustard greens, making spicy, plus ginger and shallots, vegetables, the taste of the grilled fish is better than their simple grilled fish before, I don't know how much, and the spicy taste is even more popular. Considering the cold in the north, Zou Yu let people grow a lot of mustard greens, ginger and shallots, and make spicy soup pots in winter, which should be very good.

"Yang Xuangan rebelled, and he couldn't overthrow the imperial court, and it is likely that he will conquer Goguryeo next year, so we still have a year to develop." Zou Yu continued.

"As long as there is another year, we will be able to expand the army of nearly 10,000 people, and we will not be afraid of a war when the time comes!" Bai Suhua is now in charge of all the information in Buyeo City, of course, she knows her own family background, and she has much more confidence to speak.

"The Khitan and the Xi people, we have to continue to fight, the Xi people control the iron ore, and the population of the Khitan people is what we need." Bai Suhua then suggested.

"I will continue to work this point, I believe it will gradually improve, especially since they still have the two enemies of Murwei and Yao, slowly induce, and many people will definitely be tempted, after all, no one wants to refuse a stable and safe life." Zou Yu nodded and analyzed.

"That way, we might have two more enemies as well." Bai Suhua reminded.

"It's not a possibility, but it's a certainty, but only the Mur Clan is worth worrying about, and the Murwei itself is not too aggressive, as long as we have enough strength, they naturally don't dare to act rashly, and it's not difficult to lure them to their advantage." Zou Yu said confidently.

"Speaking of which, you have to have your own strength." Hei Sumei frowned and said.

"Of course, without strength, everything is empty talk." I still attach great importance to melanin, Mei and Zou Yu, but it is not good to love to raise the bar with him.

"The Goguryeo people have also experienced wars and turmoil, and they have a fixed mind, which can be taken advantage of, even if they are not recruited into the army, it is still good to be a common man under their rule." Bai Suhua suggested.

"This is not bad, the Goguryeo Kingdom was established by the Buyeo people, but many of the people under the rule are Han themselves, and the four counties of Liaoxi were separated at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, plus the war between the two Jin Dynasty, and the people who fled from the north are not a few." Zou Yu recalled the poor bit of historical knowledge in his head and said.

"Brother Yu, what you mean is to spread the word among the people and make them slowly identify with this." Bai Suhua's eyes lit up and said.

"It's not recognition, because it's true, it's just that it's so old that many people have forgotten it, and all we're doing is reawakening their memories and making them recognize their ancestors." Zou Yu said with a smile.

What he said is only a half-truth, although there are many Han people, but the assimilation of these three or four hundred years, coupled with the integration of Baekje, Silla and other bloodlines, completely Han people, in fact, there are very few, but it doesn't matter, after all, everyone looks the same, black hair, yellow skin, black eyes, the people don't have such a strong sense of discrimination, because they have all heard, there are not many people with genealogy, and they can't go back that far, and the most important thing is that the people don't care too much about the rulers, they only care about who is better under the rule.

"It's like Brother Yu, you said about the Legend of the Three Kingdoms! It mentions the four counties of western Liaoning, the Gongsun family. Bai Suhua said happily.

Overheard the soldiers talking about the Three Kingdoms in the barracks, Bai Suhua inquired and knew that this was the story told by Zou Yu, so he begged him to tell it, in a boring day, it is still very good to be able to tell stories to two beauties every day, and in addition to Bai Suhua and Hei Sumei, they are not like Zhang Zhongjian, they like to pick thorns. So Zou Yu talked about the Three Kingdoms again.

"Yes, I'm going to polish it and let people tell stories to the people in the city, after all, they are quite boring after work." Zou Yu said with a smile.

Speaking of the people, we have to mention this year's harvest, the grain harvest needless to say, compared with previous years, it is several times, after all, the tax was very heavy before, many people did not have land, although the tax has been reduced this year, but Zou Yu has long considered, not to land or the head to determine, but to the proportion of the harvest, three percent of the tax, it can be said that compared with before, very low! But the harvest is good, so the total amount of tax revenue does not fall but rises, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

And that's just grain, vegetables, fish, fruits, poultry, these extra incomes, each family also has a lot. The pickled vegetables and kimchi made of vegetables are deeply loved by everyone, because the salt purchased by the people of Buyeo City is cheap, so every household has a lot, which can be said to be a must-have delicacy for every meal, and even traded to the Khitan people as a commodity.

The fish and meat were collected at a low price in the name of the government to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers, and the people had an extra income, so they did not complain about the low price.

Poultry breeding, a year, can only be said to have just started, so the effect is not obvious, but the people are still very active in cooperating with the expansion of the scale, as for the fruit trees, although the people do not like those wild fruits that do not taste very good, just think that the children like it, so they still follow the order, carefully take care of it.
