At the beginning of spring, the northwest elm bend is still icy and snowy, but Gu Zhilun's mood is hot, just like the big stove burning in this house.

The trade route in the north was opened, crossing the Kan'er River from the elm bend, and it was always deep in the Hulun grassland, Gu Zhilun found several waves of Turkic merchants, Gu Zhilun was responsible for sending the goods across the Kan'er River, and the Turkic merchants got the goods in the Kan'er River, and immediately paid the silver, and the silver and goods on both sides were clear, Gu Zhilun only needed to give the other party a little profit, and the business went extremely smoothly.

The goods transported from Jiangnan are worth 100,000 taels of silver, and after crossing the Kaner River, Gu Zhilun got a return of 300,000 taels of silver, not only that, but also the cattle and sheep in the north, animal fur, mountain ginseng and other medicinal materials, these medicinal materials are scarce goods in Dakang, especially in Jiangnan, Gu Zhilun exchanged most of the silver for goods, and the goods were transported back to the capital, and the silver was turned into as much as 600,000 taels.

In a business, Gu Zhilun easily got 500,000 taels of silver, and after removing the huge amount of foreshadowing in the early stage after he arrived in the northwest, he still earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

And once the trade route is opened, such a business will continue to flow, and almost every month, a batch of goods can be delivered to the north, so that Gu Zhilun's annual profit will be millions of taels.

Millions of huge riches, it takes no effort to get them, Gu Zhilun never thought that he could go so smoothly on the road of business, such wealth, it won't be long before Gu Zhilun can even be compared with the first-class richest people in Jiangnan!

Of course, from Gu Zhilun's point of view now, money is just a number, and he can take out all the silver he earns as long as Lu Zheng needs it.

Therefore, the salaries of tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Song Wensong in Yumu, the silver consumed by Lu Zheng in building the city wall in Yumu, and the silver needed by Lu Zheng to recruit troops and buy horses, Gu Zhilun all provided them in a steady stream.

As long as Lu Zheng can go higher and higher, I am afraid that there will be no chance to earn silver in the future? Lu Zheng is just a small county order now, and he has this kind of energy in the northwest, if Lu Zheng can enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, will Gu Zhilun still be just an ordinary businessman?

The four families in Jiangnan, now that the rivers are declining, the Gu family where Gu Zhilun is located wants to rise again, and they have to look after Gu Zhilun in the future!

Gu Zhilun's business was done, Lu Zheng was in a relaxed mood, with the silver in his hand, he didn't panic in his heart, according to the topography of Yumu County, Lu Zheng formulated two strategies.

One strategy is to rebuild the city defense, the second strategy is to establish the city defense battalion, at the moment there is only one hundred people in Yumu County, after Feng Xuelin was killed by Lu Zheng, the hundred team lost its leader.

It just so happened that Liu Song went to Shandong and came back, he followed Cheng Hu to join the army, and with some experience, Lu Zheng asked him to lead a team of 100 people, and was also responsible for training Lu Zheng's new sign of the city defense battalion.

And Tang Guanping and Bo Liu Ran, the county magistrate who had violated Lu Zhengyang before, have long since dared to be presumptuous, and after seeing the ferocity of Lu Zheng's murder in Song Wensong's tent, where do they dare to despise Lu Zheng?

Besides, Lu Zheng and Song Wensong have now become sworn brothers, looking at the entire elm, Song Wensong is the first, Lu Zheng is the well-deserved second, even those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in the army are now well-behaved in elm, and they dare not make a slight mistake, not to mention those literati who are powerless?

No matter how powerful the conspiracy is, when it encounters absolute power and violence, it often results in rapid disintegration, and the close relationship between Lu Zheng and Song Wensong has turned the place of Yumu into an independent kingdom.

For Song Wensong, he got rid of his family's control over him, so that he no longer had to worry that his military power would be taken away by his two elder brothers.

However, on the other hand, it also made Yumuwan absolutely isolated, and the Song family became more vigilant about Song Wensong's existence, and his tens of thousands of elite soldiers were almost separated from the Northwest Army.

Lu Zheng's suggestion to Song Wensong made Song Wensong embark on a road of no return from then on, and Lu Zheng could be under the protection of Song Wensong for more than a year without pressure from the capital.

More importantly, Lu Zheng can freely show his talents and make up for his shortcomings in this small independent kingdom. Lu Zheng is good at knowledge, good at resourcefulness, and short at military affairs, so Lu Zheng read military books in Yumu, built cities, trained elite soldiers, and learned to ride and shoot.

Throughout the winter, Lu Zheng could be seen wearing riding clothes and spurring the horse, galloping across the country. learned to ride a horse and practice martial arts, Lu Zheng's fine skin and tender flesh were gone, and in the cold wind, Lu Zheng's strong and capable image was gradually shaped.

"Childe, the way to use soldiers is first and foremost in scouts. If you have clear ears and eyes, you will be determined, and today we will study the arrangement and dispatch of scouts! The boy said seriously.

Tong Zi studied under Yan Lao and knew a lot about the art of war, and Lu Zheng's daily study and training these days should be arranged by Tong Zi, and Lu Zheng recruited and trained soldiers, and Tong Zi also came up with a lot of ideas.

However, the main idea of military training is still controlled by Lu Zheng! Although Lu Zheng was only a firefighter in his previous life, he was still quite concerned about the training of the troops, and he was unfamiliar with the army's battle formations, but he had rich experience in how to increase the cohesion of the army and how to be strict and tight.

Anyway, a city defense battalion of more than 1,000 people, Lu Zheng took it purely as a practice, he pondered for a winter, and this army seemed to be beginning to take shape.

Of course, the real elite soldiers need to be tempered by war, and at present, Lu Zheng's city defense battalion and Song Wensong's thousand-man team are still incomparable, and the reason is because the city defense battalion lacks actual combat tempering after all, and it will take time.

Lu Zheng is training, Song Wensong is also training every day, he and the two brothers in the family are now completely torn face, the family has regarded him as a thorn in the eye, staring in the flesh, under huge pressure, Song Wensong attaches more importance to the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the hand, so he is desperate for training.

After the battle of Qiaotan, he also understood that strength is the truth, now the place of elm, tore open the mouth of the north-south trade road, with the silver earned by the business road, can be used for him to raise soldiers, under such conditions, he must become stronger as soon as possible, slowly expand his territory, so as to consolidate the strength, so as to lay the foundation for his future hegemony in the northwest.

"Second brother, there is something you said well, if I were not a concubine, but a concubine born to my master's mother, I would definitely not have the strength I have now, and I might not be able to lead tens of thousands of troops across the northwest.

Everything is forced out! People have the most potential and motivation when they are cornered, hehe, there is no choice for me at the moment, I can only go one way to the dark! Song Wensong picked up his wine glass and raised a glass with Lu Zheng to drink.

The two will meet every once in a while, for Song Wensong, Lu Zheng has given him great help, and for Lu Zheng, he also needs Song Wensong's opinions and suggestions in many aspects.

Song Wensong is known as the first fierce general in the northwest, and he has his own unique skills in training and using troops, while Lu Zheng is good at government affairs, and he has managed Yumu County in an orderly manner, and dredged the north-south trade routes smoothly and smoothly.

The trade route between the north and the south is opened in Yumu, which is bound to attract merchants from all over the world to gather here, there are more people, and the business of teahouses, wines, brothels and so on is also rising, all of which is Lu Zheng's ability.

Therefore, the cooperation between Song Wensong and Lu Zheng can be said to be a combination of beads and curtains, complementing each other, Song Wensong drank half drunk, and his tone was even more casual, he squinted and stared at Lu Zheng and said:

"I didn't see it, second brother, you are a weak scholar and really have momentum, you have practiced riding and archery well for a few months, and the riding skills are roughly like this, but the ability to shoot arrows, your bow is too soft, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the enemy!"

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Big brother, the ice and snow will melt soon, I thought that once the spring is warm, there will definitely be war in the elm, and then I am afraid that there will be such a pastime and drinking time as you and me!" ”

"I'm afraid of eggs, if there is no war, I still feel idle, fuck, I haven't had much activity this winter, it's really fading out of the birds, I wish I could have a big fight!" Song Wensong stood up and shook his fat arm, his eyes showing fanaticism.

Lu Zheng sighed secretly, and admired Song Wensong a little, people like Song Wensong are real heroes in troubled times. Judging from the current situation, Yumu is isolated by his own people in Longyou, which is very dangerous!

The Turkic soldiers in the north went south, as long as they attacked Yumu Bend, it was likely that Song Wensong would not be able to wait for the rescue of the troops, so he would rely on these tens of thousands of people to resist the Turkic iron cavalry? That's dangerous.

Song Wensong also knew this, but he was still not afraid, and Lu Zheng was ashamed of this belligerent energy.

Song Wensong stared at Lu Zheng and said: "Second brother, instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack and wait for the Kan'er River to thaw, you are responsible for defending the city, I am responsible for attacking the Kan'er River, and now do a few battles on the Hulan grassland to frustrate the opponent's spirit!" ”

Lu Zheng frowned slightly, nodded secretly, he stroked his palms and smiled: "I didn't expect that the eldest brother has been thinking about this matter recently, it seems that you already have a plan in mind!" ”

Song Wensong laughed and said, "I can't hide anything from you!" Come on, withdraw this banquet, my second brother and I are going to talk about business and military affairs! ”

After the banquet was withdrawn, a sand table was placed in the room, and Song Wensong pointed to the undulating sand table and said, "Who said that useless is a scholar?" In the past, when we fought, we relied on scouts to find our way and fight wherever we went.

The second brother created this, and my northwest, Turkic, and even Hulan grasslands are all presented in front of me like real mountains and real waters, hehe, it's really wonderful......"

Song Wensong pointed to the sand table and continued: "I sent five hundred scouts this winter, and I can say that I have a thorough understanding of the areas we see in front of us, and now we will talk about how we should send troops after the ice melts." At this time, I'm afraid many people are waiting for this spring, hehe, who will kill the deer depends on their own creation! ”
