According to Dafu's regulations, the number of soldiers in Yang Yun's fiefdom could not exceed 20,000. But when Yang Yun sent a request for increasing the number of conscripts in the fief to Emperor Fu, who was worried about his son's life, he immediately agreed.

The imperial decree was immediately issued, and the number of conscripts in King Wu's fiefdom could reach 30,000 due to the serious banditry. This is really good news for Yang Yun.

The three counties can have 30,000 soldiers stationed there, and the number of "bandits" in these counties can also be increased to 20,000.

With these troops, Yang Yun has a lot of room to use his troops, and at a critical moment, he can even send a team of more than 30,000 people to go out to fight at any time.

A large number of bandits appeared in the fief of King Yang Yun of Wu, constantly attacking the three counties in King Wu's fiefdom, making King Wu anxious.

The news spread quickly and quietly in Xijing City. While many ordinary people hated the bandits, the princes who had intentions for the throne were happy.

The prince, who had risen to fame in recent years, finally ran into trouble. Even if they were right before, Yang Yun still had some worried thoughts, but now he has completely given up.

This Yang Yun, except for his father-in-law, who is now named Shangshuling in the capital, has no other forces to rely on. Now that the fiefdom is in trouble, it is impossible to attack the throne.

With these thoughts, these princes in the capital continued to fight openly and secretly with each other. Since the victorious king Yang Ming was in full swing, he exerted a lot of pressure on the other princes.

Now, except for King Katsu, all the princes who have ideas about the throne have formed a tacit understanding. That is to concentrate and deal with this famous victor first.

On the side of Yang Ming, the winning king, it seems that these united princes are not taken into account. In the eyes of Yang Ming and his subordinates, these open and secret battles are all petty fights, and only by firmly controlling the military power in their own hands is the key to victory.

In all dynasties, which one of the people who finally held power was not the one who held heavy armies. Therefore, Yang Ming's forces ignored the slander of many ministers in the DPRK and China. secretly increased his strength, and let some generals in his power quietly hold important positions in the army.

Some small actions of Yang Ming's forces did not arouse the alarm of the other princes at first. But as many positions in the army were taken by Yang Ming's people. The princes woke up and hurriedly began to implement many remedies.

Although Yang Yun knew some of the battles that took place in Xijing City without gunpowder smoke through his own eyeline, he didn't pay much attention to all this, nor did he take any action.

In fact, even if Yang Yun wanted to take any action at this time, he didn't have the energy, because he had fallen into an unprecedented busyness.

He took complete control of Yang County and obtained the management of many salt wells, but there were still many problems that he needed to solve.

For example, he proposed the plan of the joint-stock system for the management of Yanjing, whether it is the Yang family or the former members of the Unity Association, the two organizations responsible for the specific management of Yanjing, do not understand what is going on. Even his subordinates, the most trusted people, are ignorant of this.

Therefore, the explanation work can only fall on Yang Yun's own head. In the past few days, Yang Yun organized many exchanges with the representatives of the personnel who were responsible for the management of the salt well, and the representatives of the county government to supervise them.

In front of these people

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, he elaborated his thoughts to everyone one by one. His thoughts are indeed too difficult to understand for the people of this era, so he painstakingly explained them one by one.

It took many days and a lot of time to finally list some of the relevant charters. Then he posted these charters in various places in Yang County, and specially invited some talents in Yang County to explain the contents of the charter to the people who could not read big characters.

After nearly a month of hard work, the people of Yang County understood Yang Yun's thoughts. Of course, this also greatly mobilized their enthusiasm for work. Because they know that the higher the income of the salt well, the more they will earn.

In addition to the things on the side of the salt well, there are still a lot of things that Yang Yun needs to worry about.

For example, Emperor Fu has agreed. His own fief can recruit up to 30,000 soldiers, but the current fiefdom has a total population of just over 100,000, where can he recruit so many soldiers.

At the same time, these soldiers were recruited, who will lead them, and by whom will they train? This is also a headache for Yang Yun and his men.

Also, the three counties of the current fiefdom need a large number of officials. However, there are few scholars in these three counties, and even fewer are suitable for being officials, and in order to select officials in these places, Yang Yun also scratched his head.

There was no way, Yang Yun had no choice but to recruit talents in various parts of Dafu and even some surrounding countries.

Although the recruiters all sent people to learn about their family backgrounds, Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang and others knew about it. Among these recruits, it is very likely that some of them were sent by major forces or even other countries.

However, in the current situation, Yang Yun has no other way but to use these people temporarily.

Therefore, for some secrets in his own forces, especially the identities of Yan Xiong and Liu Haini. Now it is highly confidential, and except for a few of the most core figures under Yang Yun, no one can be allowed to know about these things.

In addition, as the population increases, the demand for food, of course, must also increase.

In order to increase grain production, Yang Yun also tried his best, and several fiefdoms belonged to areas with many mountains and little land, so increasing grain production was the biggest problem.

Yan Longping led a group of people under his command to visit almost every piece of land in the fiefdom, proposed a reasonable planting plan for the people, and often instructed the people to use the most reasonable methods to grow crops.

In the meantime, there was good news. Yang Yun sent people looking for corn seeds to Maozi Country in the northwest of Yuyue, and then went west from Maozi Country to the west, after a journey of nearly 10,000 miles. Finally, in a place called the Seth Empire, corn seeds were found.

The successful return of corn seeds was great news for the fiefdom, as corn required less water and could be widely grown on the slopes of the mountains.

In addition, the yield of corn is relatively high, the planting cycle is not particularly long, and the cost is relatively low. It has many functions, it can be eaten directly, and it can also be used to make wine and feed livestock, and it was soon welcomed by the people of the fiefdom.

The successful introduction of corn greatly alleviated the food needs of the people in the fiefdom, so that Yang Yun and his subordinates could free up their hands to pay attention to other things.

For example, in the case of weapons, due to the increase in the number of civilians, the number of soldiers has also increased, but the relative speed of manufacturing weapons is still relatively slow.

Because Yang Yun is on weapons

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The requirements have always been relatively high, and with the attitude of preferring shortage to abuse, some unqualified weapons have been beaten back and rebuilt, resulting in the slow manufacturing speed of weapons.

In order to solve this problem, Yang Yun sent people to the capital again. Let Tie Shan recruit some blacksmiths from the Lion Department who are good at crafting iron, which not only improves the speed and quality of crafting weapons, but also allows them to train a new batch of blacksmiths.

Also, there is the issue of business development, in order to make overall arrangements. At the request of Yang Yun, all the merchants who came to the fiefdom established the Business Alliance, and under the unified dispatch of the Business Alliance, commerce developed in a more orderly and reasonable manner.

What was produced could be quickly sold for silver, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the people of the fiefdom. As a result, the manufacturing industry has developed rapidly.

In the past, in the fiefdoms, some things made by the common people were produced in the form of family workshops, which were small in scale and could not guarantee quality.

Under Yang Yun's initiative, some family workshops gradually expanded in size, absorbed some workers, and then exchanged ideas with each other. Technical communication has been carried out, and product quality and production speed have also been quickly improved.

These things are sold to all parts of Dafu and even to some surrounding countries through business alliances. Because these products have special personnel for technical guidance and quality control, many people who use these things are very satisfied.

In this way, the popularity of the things produced by King Wu's fief has increased rapidly, so that many people have begun to like to buy things made by King Wu's fief.

The current fiefdom has gradually formed a benign state of development. All walks of life need manpower, and many people can quickly be rewarded for their hard work. In this way, there are many fewer idle people on the streets, and the security of the fiefdom has also been greatly improved.

All walks of life need a large number of manpower, and it is far from enough to rely on the people of Wu County. As a result of working in the fiefdom of King Wu, there were no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes other than the necessary taxes, and there was no exploitation by local forces and officials.

These people from other places quickly tasted the sweetness, and under the effect of spreading ten to hundred, more and more people came to King Wu's fiefdom for development.

With the joint efforts of Yang Yun and a group of like-minded brothers, all walks of life in the fiefdom have been developing steadily, and the number of people on the streets of the three counties has gradually increased, and there is a little thriving scene.

All affairs are on the right track, and taxes are slowly beginning to increase, looking at the fact that there is finally a return of silver, although it is only a drop in the bucket, but Yang Yun's group of people are very happy.

As the saying goes, money is easy to do, and this is indeed the truth in life. Of the three counties in the fiefdom, Wu County was slightly better, and Shidong County and Yang County had no money before, and even officials at all levels did not levy enough.

But now, the county government's funds are much more abundant, and finally there are some talents and good players who are willing to come to the counties to be officials. So that the county government of these two counties really has the appearance of a ruling organ.

With the addition of some good men in the rivers and lakes to the army, the strength of the army has been improved, and Yang Yun transferred some people with command talents from the War Tiger Department of Xijing City to serve as low-level officers.

The number of soldiers has increased, but there is a serious shortage of generals, and in desperation, Yang Yun can only tap the potential internally and promote a group of low-level generals with combat experience.

In addition, Yang Yun also transferred Qiu Ze to Wu County and made him serve as the county magistrate of Wu County. During this period of time, Yang Yun has contacted Qiu Ze many times, and feels that this person does have some skills, and it is more than enough to be appointed as a county commander.
