"Your Highness, the lower officials think that everything can be discussed. I have a bumper grain harvest in Hedong this autumn, and there are more than 8 million stones of grain stored in the Heluo warehouse, which has long been stacked, and the temporary warehouse is also full of grain! There are many foods that are stolen by hamsters every day. The grassland is nothing more than good horses, cattle and sheep, animal skins and other things, but it is what I lack in the east of the river, and the lower officials think that they can exchange the old grain in the warehouse, especially the cowhides, the more the better. The Minister of Hemp gave me a huge cowhide use number! Where do you want the official to get it for him? As soon as Pei Yun's voice fell, the audience laughed.

"Hmmm! Well said. This time, the king not only wants his good horses, cattle and sheep, animal skins and other things, but also makes the Turkic sand bowl sweat more blood. All the Han people plundered by him must be returned, and he will be asked to pay 1 million taels of gold, what do you think? Yang Er said lightly while knocking on the melon seeds, although he was not short of money, and even had more money than the Turkic Great Khan, but gold was an important strategic reserve of the country, and he must find a way to weaken the war potential of the Turks.

"Ah--- million taels --- gold, ah---" The state government officials who were eating, after listening to Yang Er's words, were all stunned and stopped their chopsticks and looked at each other with an incredible expression.

"It is estimated that the Turkic envoy will arrive tomorrow, so please ask Pei Gong to negotiate with him first. Master Pei, you have calculated the number of cattle and sheep you need and the amount of animal skins, and Gong Zheng will discuss the horses with Gong Pei, in short, be sure to do a good job of this door-to-door transaction. Early tomorrow morning, the king will go to Jiechi Town, and it is estimated that it will take three or five days to return. This negotiation is not in a hurry to be negotiated immediately, he is not in a hurry, the Dalit must be well received, do not neglect him. The snow on the steppe is not thick enough, hehe! After Yang Er finished speaking, he got up with a smile and waved his hand to everyone as a farewell. The officials got up and sent each other to the door of the government before returning.

Yang Er got into his luxurious carriage and walked all the way back, and with the rhythm of the car swaying, Yang Er was about to close his eyes and recuperate. Suddenly, I heard Zhong Jian outside the car whisper to Yang Er in the car: "Brother Shi, it seems that General Hu'er is coming from Pegasus ahead, and there seems to be something important looking for you?" Yang Er opened his eyes after hearing this, and immediately heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming into his ears, so he reached out and lifted the curtain on one side, and poked his head out slightly to look out.

"Report to Your Highness, Shaohua Mountain Liang Shitai and the third uncle of Zhengliang in Iron Hammer Zhuang are now waiting for His Royal Highness in the mansion, and General Yuwen Chengdu is accompanying him in the mansion." Lai Hu'er galloped to the carriage, hurriedly dismounted and stood in front of the carriage to report to Yang Eryu in the car.

"Oh? It was only a few days later, and they arrived in Luzhou. The herald hastened his way home. Yang Er felt a little surprised, this time Liang Shitai also followed.

Luzhou Jin King Palace.

"The third uncle and Shi Tai inadvertently passed nearly a month last time, what can't be said in the letter, and you have to run this trip in person? I don't know how the matters explained in the king's last letter have been completed? Yang Er smiled and beckoned everyone to tea, and said casually.

"Lord, when I received a letter from the prince ten months ago, I had a total of 9 villages such as Iron Hammer Village, and all the people mobilized them. The prince asked the old Han Sizhuang to complete the sewing of 150,000 down jackets and 20,000 down vests within 40 days, and now all of them have been completed. I also stopped by to visit the prince. Uncle Liang got up and returned to report.

"Oh? How long has it been? The third uncle has already made this batch of winter clothes? Good, good, good! The third uncle is really a blessed star who sends charcoal in the snow! Seeing that the first snow of this winter is approaching, and the soldiers are wearing thin clothes, this king thinks that he needs to wait for some time! I don't want the third uncle to bring good news to this king. After Yang Er heard the words of the third uncle, he was extremely excited. As the temperature decreases day by day, the winter clothes of nearly 200,000 Jin troops in Luzhou, Hedong have not been solved, and the Taihang Mountain side cannot be taken into account.

"Lord, in order to make this batch of ready-to-wear clothes in my 9 villages, more than half of the live chickens were slaughtered, in addition to keeping them for the winter, there are still nearly 800,000 catties of chicken and 1.2 million catties of eggs, which have now arrived in Luzhou Daying with the car, and now escort Zhuang Min and others to hand over with the master Pei Daren." Third Uncle Liang didn't sit down, but stood there and talked eloquently.

"Hmmm! Excellent, the third uncle has worked hard, sit down and speak. Yang Er instantly felt that today was a good day, and a stone that had been pressed on his heart for several days fell to the ground, which not only solved the matter of changing the clothes of the whole army, but also solved the problem of eating meat for the soldiers this winter. Today's war horses in the whole territory of Hedong are used for military purposes, who dares to slaughter. Cattle are the most important productive force in the field, and the people killing cattle is a crime, and they also have to support the Taihang Mountains. At present, most of the soldiers in the barracks are pork and chicken.

"Third uncle, when I left you a month ago, the crops in the field were growing well, I don't know how the autumn harvest went?" Yang Er asked while drinking tea from the teacup.

"Huh! Tell the prince, this autumn is really fruitful! I originally had four villages and later joined the five village farmers a rare grain harvest! According to the prince's request, I kept the sweet potatoes and potatoes for my own use, and sent them to the Guangtong warehouse in Shaohua Mountain for storage of no less than 4 million stones. And that's not even counting the harvest in the Shaohua Valley! Third Uncle Liang stroked his white beard and said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a line. As the farmers of the villages under the jurisdiction of Dalizheng, he lives a rich and worry-free life, which makes him feel a sense of achievement.

"Tell the prince, my Shaohua Mountain will also have a bumper harvest this autumn, and the harvest of various crops will also reach 3 million stones, and now the warehouses and caves in my valley are also full." Liang Shitai saw that the third uncle mentioned Shaohua Mountain, so he quickly got up and reported to Yang Er.

"Good! Has the number of households increased in various places, and has there been an increase in the military horses of Shaohuashan? "Now that the food problem has been solved, Yang Er's main concern is the number of people.

"Lord! This year's drought and no rain, there are many refugees in the north, and now I have a total of nearly 50,000 people in several villages, including many northern barbarian Tartars, all of whom are poor people, I really can't bear to see death without help! Third Uncle Liang also sighed softly at this time, and said without hurrying.

"The third uncle has done a very good job, in the future, regardless of the Han people or the fleeing foreigners, they should be treated equally, but not just that, let these foreigners integrate into the life of my Han family as much as possible, and encourage Han men to marry foreign women, and my Han women can also marry foreign men. It is also necessary to make it go to different clothes, speak Chinese, eat Chinese food. Do not be merciful to those who disobey the discipline among them. Each workshop in the village can also recruit foreign women to work, so that they can be paid equally for equal work, so that they can support themselves. If the man has no elderly, the third uncle can arrange for them to build roads and arrange some heavy work with him. "As a modern person, Yang Er is very able to accept the concept of ethnic integration, and the current alien races are nothing more than the Uighurs, Qiang, Turks, etc., and the religion has not yet been formed in these ethnic groups, they can be completely assimilated, and it is a pity to kill them.

"In addition, Shi Tai, you can select young people from the fleeing people in a timely manner, and form a cavalry dominated by foreign sergeants, the number of which is 5,000, these foreign young men grew up on the back of a grassland horse, but they are natural cavalry!" Yang Er said to Liang Shitai at this time.

"Tell the prince, I have more than 60,000 military horses in Shaohua Mountain Dazhai, and the prince asked for 100,000 troops in 3 years, and the end will be enough to complete. It is necessary to accept foreigners to join the army, and the arrangements will be made after the general returns. "Liang Shitai doesn't talk much, since the lord has made a request, just go back and do it yourself. Anyway, the last thing that is lacking now is food, and in this era, if there is food, you can recruit enough soldiers.

"Those who are listed as generals by foreign clans can be those who are sincere in the king's martial arts, and the military horses and horses can be used according to our Han army, and they cannot be neglected or discriminated against." Yang Er said solemnly to Liang Shitai.

After seeing that Liang Shitai agreed, Yang Er whispered to Third Uncle Liang: "Third Uncle, the foreign people who are sheltered, strengthen management, do not allow them to enter the Shaohua Valley, and strictly review and do not allow the Turks and Tuyuhun to mix in it. Don't be careful! Shi Tai, you also need to strengthen the inventory in front of the village, and you must not put a foreigner into it. Yang Er saw the two nodding, and then instructed: "Winter is coming, the weather is dry, now the coal and iron stove has been popularized to all households, and the Guangtong warehouse is also full of grain, especially pay attention to the fire candles, after the two of you go back, you must send someone to investigate the hidden dangers, and you must not be careless about the fire!" After Yang Er said this, everyone in the audience nodded yes.

"When returning this time, the car can be loaded with coal from the Luzhou coal yard to ensure that the villages have heating coal in winter. Winter clothes and winter quilts and other things can not be stopped, one is used for sale in the village, so that the farmers can wear warm for the winter, and the other is stored for the replacement and expansion of our army. That's all Yang Er needs to say to the Liang family's uncle and nephew, and the third uncle also nodded and agreed.

"General Yunzhao, in a few days there will be nearly 10,000 good horses to my Hedong, this king ordered you to choose pure white war horses to form an army, 10,000 posts, if the white horses are not enough, you can choose from the 100,000 war horses sent to my Hedong by the Turks. You can go to the Luzhou camp to choose the strong, not over 35 years old, not under 18 years old. The name of this army is: White Horse Righteous Battalion, and it must be loyal and righteous. Trained by you to form an army, this king wants the elite of the elite who can run 800 miles to defeat the enemy. Yang Er suddenly said to Wu Yunzhao, who was sitting in second place on the right, completely ignoring Yuwen Chengdu who was in the first place.

Wu Yunzhao stood up and bowed and said: "This general will live up to the trust of the prince, form an army in a short period of time, and train a fine cavalry for my Hedong Jin army. Wu Yunzhao was overjoyed at this time, this was exactly what he wanted in his heart, and it was to screen soldiers in the whole army, what a glorious thing.

"Good! This evening the king held a banquet for the third uncle and Shi Tai, and the generals accompanied him. ”

When they heard this, they were all happy and went away to rest.

"Brother! Look at you, all the generals under your command have military power, and they all lead an army alone, how glorious. Junior brother, do I also lead tens of thousands of horses to envoys? Yuwen Chengdu saw that everyone had dispersed, so he dragged Yang Er and said. He is really unwilling to only bear the name of a great general, he still wants to be a real general with soldiers and generals like Wu Yunzhao.

"Huh! How? Don't feel comfortable doing things next to my brother? That's it! You are also a person who can't be idle, it is estimated that your body bones are soft during this time, tomorrow I will go to the Luzhou camp with my brother and I to inspect, and let you and General Daoxing lead my Hedong army together, in charge of training the army, how about it? Yang Er knew that he was busy with political affairs during this time, and he didn't care about these generals, Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yunzhao didn't take charge of the army, and it was really useless to keep them around, which was not in line with his original intention, and he had to send foreign leaders to play to their strengths, especially Wu Yunzhao, a white horse and silver gun, a strong martial artist, and a master who could kill Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong in seconds, so he should let him bring out a special cavalry force like "White Horse Yicong" for himself like Zhao Yun in the Three Kingdoms. People in this era don't know what allusions to the Three Kingdoms such as "White Horse Yicong" are, and they can use them without any scruples, and this name is so lofty. Every selected cavalryman will surely be proud to be a member of the "White Horse Volunteers". In addition to the white horse and white armor, what kind of equipment does this special elite rider need to be equipped with, which is not available in this era? Yang Er suddenly thought of this question, and for a moment he seemed to have a plan in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

As for, Yuwen Chengdu! It is most appropriate to let this confidant of his own go to the army to deter the generals of Taihang Mountain led by the majestic sea.

"Huh! Ok, good, good! The brothers went to the Luzhou military camp and mingled with the generals, so that the eldest brother could watch these rabbit cubs. Yuwen Chengdu was very happy when he saw that Yang Er wanted to let him stay in the barracks for a long time, and he was about to turn around and leave after speaking, but Yang Er pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Chengdu! When you arrived in the army, you saw the majestic sea, in addition to improving his martial arts, I also bothered to help him adjust his internal strength, although his internal strength is strong but not lasting, don't do that at that time only three minutes of time, oh, I'm talking about lifting the gate, lifting the jack gate. No, no, no, it's when you're fighting someone who is stronger. ”

In any case, the fact that the vast sea internal force cannot last has always made Yang Er worried, and it is of course the best to be able to use Yuwen Chengdu's hand to help him solve the hidden diseases on his body. If you lose yourself as a general in the future, you will have to die of heartache.

Jinyang City in the north.

At this time, Li Yuan's Jinyang City had a snow for three days, although the snow was not large, but the inside and outside of Jinyang City were already covered in snow, and only the road that the man and car had walked separated the snow from it. Although it was sunny today, the cold wind blew like a knife across people's faces.

In the crowd, a handsome boy stood detachedly, his eyes resolute looking at the slowly flowing crowd in the distance.
