"Brother! If these three methods had been applied earlier, wouldn't there be no fear of natural disasters and the world would have been peaceful? Why doesn't Your Majesty use these three methods? After listening to Yang Er's remarks, Yuwen Chengdu asked with some feelings.

"Huh! Chengdu! It's not that my father doesn't use it, but he doesn't dare to use it if he can't use it. Yang Er smiled and got up, in the surprised eyes of everyone, gently shook the folding fan, paced and said slowly: "The imperial court mechanism is stiff, the implementation of the new law, the implementation of layers of implementation, extremely difficult, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in the end, it can only be a show." The construction of water conservancy warehouses and other infrastructure also requires a lot of money and materials, and the world is initially decided, and the inventory of silver in the Great Sui Mansion is insufficient. In wartime, the emphasis on military force and the respect for literature in peacetime led to the backwardness of agricultural technology, the shortage of cattle, the lack of agricultural tools, the extremely low grain output, and the excessive agricultural taxes made the peasants uninterested in farming. In such a vicious circle, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, there will inevitably be "the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, and the frozen bones on the road," and starvation will inevitably be everywhere. My Hedong County, Shaohua Mountain and other places do not have these criticisms from the imperial court, and they can become Taoyuan. As soon as Yang Er's words were spoken, everyone present nodded, and all the civil officials fell into thought.

"General Xiong, how many villages do you have in Taihang Mountain? How many acres of land are there for the people, soldiers, and soldiers? It can be said that with this king. "Among the new generals here, except for Wu Yunzhao and a little bit of political affairs, the rest of them are pure military generals, and it is useless to say more, even civil officials are difficult to digest these thoughts for a while, so Yang Erfeng turned to Xiong Kuohai and asked.

Xiong Kuohai hurriedly got up and replied: "Lord Wang, I have a total village in Taihang Mountain, which is my gold-roofed village, and there are 18 small villages, scattered in the peaks of Taihang Mountain. There are about 50,000 soldiers in total, about 250,000 people in the mountains, and about 150,000 hectares of fertile land. The leaders of each village supported each other and held each village tightly to prevent foreign enemies from invading. For decades, there has been war outside the mountain, but the mountain has been peaceful. ”

"Oh! You can introduce the leaders of the villages here. Yang Er became interested in the cottage leaders sitting in the back. Xiong Kuohai hurriedly got up and turned to the back row of generals and said:

"The head of the Gyro Village at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, Wu Tianxi, the prince knows, and the leader of the Eagle Beak Peak Village in the western foothills, Jiao Fang." Saying Jiao Fang's name, a person stood up in the back row and bowed his hand, and after Yang Er nodded, Jiao Fang sat down.

"Wu Kui, the leader of the temple cottage at the northwest foothills."

"Ji Zeng, the leader of the Zhongshan Village."

"Lotus cottage leader Wu Liang"

"Zheng Long, the leader of Qingfeng Village"

"He Qing, the leader of Huashi Fort"

"There are only a few of them who will go to Beijing to visit the prince this time, and the rest of the villages are too far away to be here." Xiong Kuohai sat down after bowing his hand.

Yang Er listened to the introduction of Xiong Kuohai and kept nodding, although these cottage leaders have average martial arts, they are expensive because there are many people! This time, Yuwen Chengdu Taihang Mountain and his party not only collected fierce generals, but also collected a treasure. This Taihang Mountain Range has been a country within a country since ancient times! In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Taihang Mountain was the nest of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban remnants, under the leadership of Zhang Yan and other Yellow Turban generals, the Han Dynasty had nothing to do, and finally Yuan Shao, who occupied Jizhou, was recruited by his good words. The Communist Eighth Route Army's eight-year War of Resistance also carried out guerrilla warfare based on the Taihang Mountains to deter the Japanese army invading China. Now the Great Sui Imperial Court is also helpless against the towering Taihang bandits, and allows it to develop. Now that this important land in North China is at your fingertips, how can you not like it! Yang Er's heart was simply happy at this time.

"Good! There is another group of fierce tigers under the rule of this king, and there is another feng shui treasure in the territory! However, the vast area of Taihang Mountain is still insufficient, when the army is expanded to 150,000, and the subsequent displaced people in Hedong County are all into the Taihang Mountain to pioneer and reclaim fields, the number of household registrations should be 800,000 households. The existing 150,000 hectares of land is too little, and when it is greatly developed and expanded to 1.5 million hectares, this king wants to make this reckless Taihang the largest granary in the world. Yang Er said to this Yuwenshu and other civil officials, and also expressed his determination and ideals to compete in the world. Yu Wenshu and other civil officials kept nodding to each other, and they also showed the momentum of wanting to do a big job.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this remark can be compared to the Longzhong of Zhuge Wuhou in the Han Dynasty, that Zhuge Liang people have not come out of the mountain to set three parts of the world, although His Royal Highness has not been called the emperor but has looked at the whole country. Taihang Mountain is owned by me, and Jizhou is in the bag. The power of King Jin can be pushed north to the 18 states of Yanyun in one fell swoop, and it can be recovered in one fell swoop in due course, even if the crown prince seeks the throne, hum! Sooner or later, too, it will have to be handed over. We will adjust our strategy in accordance with the deployment of His Royal Highness King Jin to help His Highness achieve great things as soon as possible. Yu Wenshu stood up and made a gesture on behalf of the civil officials.

"Good! The following Taihang Mountain people will listen to the seal. Yang Er was very arrogant, and he wanted to inform the generals of the placement of the generals who had already thought about it, so as not to chill the hearts of the generals.

"General Xiong Kuohai, this king has named you as the pioneer officer of the Jin Army's Pioneer Battalion, and the formation of a separate army is the "Pioneer Battalion", with a number of 30,000, including 10,000 horse troops and 20,000 infantry troops. When you are fighting on all sides, your battalion will always be the vanguard. 5 days later, he went to Luzhou Daying Point Army. "Yang Er combined the character and skills of the majestic sea, and planned to let him form an army of his own and fight everywhere for himself.

"Huh! His Royal Highness Chitose values me so much, and I should fight to the death for His Highness in the future. Hehe! When the majestic sea heard it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he felt that this military position was quite domineering, and he led an army of 30,000 people alone, and he would take the lead in the battle, which was so cool! After hearing the official position of King Jin on his boss, the generals of Taihang Mountain were also extremely excited and happy. The civil officials all looked surprised, and they all felt that this reward was too heavy for the new generals who entered the Jin Palace. Wu Yunzhao also looked at his brother Wu Tianxi, and the two of them also looked puzzled. In Wu Tianxi's eyes, this position of leading the vanguard belongs to his brother Wu Yunzhao, and it is not the turn of Xiong Kuohai, who only has brute strength. But Wu Yunzhao was secretly anxious in his heart at this time, afraid that he would not be able to take his turn in important positions in the future, and he would not be able to establish immortal merits, so he secretly thought about finding his father to talk about it after returning home.

Yuwen Chengdu in the audience listened to Yang Er's appointment to Xiong Kuohai, and his heart was suddenly dissatisfied, and when he saw that Xiong Kuohai and others were getting carried away, he couldn't help but be angry.

"Lao Xiong, what are you talking about? At the beginning of the war, I, Yuwen Chengdu, came to your pioneer camp, and I want to see who dares to take the lead with this general! ”

As soon as Yuwen Chengdu's angry words came out, the audience was shocked, and the people of Taihang Mountain suddenly sat on wax.

"General Yuwen, why be angry, if the general goes to the vanguard camp and is full of wine and meat, then the position of Zhengyin will be given to you, the one who dares to fight with you, I heard that the prince's wine is good, and the general will still drink with his head!" Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu was angry, Xiong Kuohai suddenly restrained his excitement and didn't dare to carry it. This Yuwen Chengdu has a more irritable temper than himself, his fists are heavy, and no one recognizes him when he initiates a rush, and he is the king of Jin Chitose who is a favorite general, and he beats himself well, and it is estimated that he is also beaten in vain. The heart said, you want to come to my pioneer camp to grab the merit, I will let you go, it is impossible to come and grab it every time!

"Humph! You still know each other. After listening to Xiong Kuohai's soft words, Yuwen Chengdu was also angry, and sat down and didn't speak.

"Let me say what is good about you, you are a general who protects the country, the commander of the whole army, but you always want to go to the vanguard camp to grab the size of the merit. Alas! Yang Er approached Yuwen Chengdu's side, leaned over and whispered to him.

"Hey! Big brother, why didn't you say it earlier? Then I'll go to Lao Xiong's place and drink! Yuwen Chengdu was overjoyed when he heard this. I thought,, it seems really inappropriate for me, a commander and general, to compete with his subordinates, and it is easy to hurt the harmony between brothers, although the majestic sea does not dare to be angry with himself.

"In addition, Ji Zeng, Wu Liang, Zheng Long, and He Qing will be the deputy generals of the pioneer battalion." The four generals went out of class to give gifts and receive military positions.

"General Wu Tianxi, choose a henchman to still return to Tuoluo Village to sit in the town, this king appointed you as the commander of the soldiers and horses of Zezhou, and led 5,000 horse troops and 5,000 infantry troops, a total of 10,000 military horses, to garrison Zezhou. Zezhou is the east gate of Hedong County, and Zezhou is the most important. Would you like to? ”

Wu Tianxi was also happy when he heard about it, this official position is not small, and he is the only general who leads an army, so he immediately went out of class and said: "Lord Meng is valued, Tianxi is willing to lead the commander of Zezhou's soldiers and horses, and strictly guard the east gate for Hedong." ”

"Good! Jiao Fang and Wu Kui will train the Zezhou Soldiers and Horses Regiment to be your deputy generals, and they will guard Zezhou with you. 5 days later, the three of you left Beijing and went to the Luzhou barracks to gather 10,000 troops and horses and go to Zezhou to garrison. ”

"General Hua Gongyi, this king knows that you are not only outstanding in martial arts, but also very good at management, I heard that you are the orderly management of the villages in Taihang Mountain, and the brothers are united. This king still ordered you and my other departments to return to Taihang Mountain, the general commander of Jinding Dazhai, to help this king to manage Zhuzhai with full authority, full management of Hedong resettlement and development of wasteland, and full responsibility for the expansion of military horses. The king began to say that the land needs 1.5 million hectares, 150,000 soldiers, and 50,000 war horses, and the king will send people to Taihang Mountain. General Hua, would you like to? Yang Er walked up to the two Hua Gongyi brothers and whispered. Looking at the generals of Taihang Mountain, only Hua Gongyi can be qualified for the post of general leader of Taihang Mountain.

After thinking for a while, Hua Gongyi got up and replied: "This general is willing to take a new post and take care of Taihang Mountain for the prince." The prince can rest assured. ”

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can go to Luzhou to find Lord Pei Shiju's help, and I will also ask the Luzhou Mansion to mobilize military salaries, grain and civil servants to help you. After you return to the mountain, you will send the household registration of the soldiers and civilians to Lord Pei Shiju in Luzhou, so that the food and salary can be disbursed on time. Yang Er looked at Hua Gongyi and said, he knew that the Hua brothers were all biased towards literature, both of them were capable ministers who ruled the world, he was familiar with Taihang Mountain, coupled with his comprehensive support in all aspects, would definitely make Taihang Mountain thrive day by day, and eventually become a logistics base for his own soldiers and food.

"General Hua Gongming, I have to break up your brother this time. My Shaohuashan Special Zone is now a group of military generals struggling to support, many matters have fallen behind, this king wants to give Gongming General Jin Wangfu Sima the post, go to Shaohuashan Special Zone, and replace General Liang Shitai to fully manage Shaohua Mountain and the surrounding 4 villages, I don't know if it is possible? Yang Er said sincerely.

"The prince will share the burden for the prince, and he should carefully take care of the affairs of Shaohua Mountain." Hua Gongming was quite moved by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to let him lead a heavy land, and his two brothers were equivalent to being in charge of two important grain production bases in the Jin Palace, which can be described as a high power and heavy responsibility.

"Okay, your two brothers will also go out of Beijing with the others after the 5th."

"In addition, the leaders of the original villages in Taihang Mountain are all leading me to the post of deputy general of the Jin Palace, and they are ready to serve in front of the army. Okay, everything is arranged, tonight the king will set up a banquet for the people to catch the wind and wash the dust, when a drunk party. Yang Er settled many things one by one, which was also a lot easier. His own forces will be fully developed, and Taihang Mountain is very closed, and his own power in Taihang Mountain cannot be known to the outside world at all. Thinking that one day, when your hundreds of thousands of strong troops appear in Beijing, see that your Yang Yong's throne is still sitting safely?

After a night of carnival and drinking, everyone will be drunk. Except for the three brothers Xiong Kuohai and Hua who stayed in the guest room of the Jin Palace, the rest of the people rested in the inn near the capital. Yuwen Chengdu has a retainer to help him go home, and Wu Tianxi was recalled by Wu Yun to return to Wufu.

Early in the morning, Yang Er led Zhong Jian and Chuchen to practice martial arts in the backyard as usual, just sweating slightly, and were waiting to go back to the house to freshen up. Ma Shumou hurriedly ran over, mysteriously grabbed Yang Er and ran to his single-family courtyard.
