Teams of cavalry ran back and forth in a belt near the coast on the Song-Liao border, holding a charcoal pen and parchment scroll to draw a map, and Yang Lin sat on a boulder mountain by the sea, watching the wind and the sea.

The sea breeze blew up layers of waves, lapping on the reef, and there was a burst of waves.

Zong Ze was worried on the side, scratched his head and said: "Shaozai, the battle situation in Youyan is undecided, let's build a city by the sea first, isn't it a little unsafe."

It's good if you get back Youyan, but if you can't get it back, not to mention the loss of labor and money, eighty percent will be occupied by foreign races, and this city will become a laughing stock..."

Yang Lin turned his head, pointed to a big stone he was sitting on, and said with a smile: "Ru Lin, you come and lift this stone." ”

Zong Ze glanced at it, the stone was several times bigger than himself, how could it be moved, and said with a wry smile: "Shaozai, how can this stone be moved by manpower." ”

"You can move it and try it."

Zong Ze paused for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and bent forward, but Dashi must not have moved at all.

Yang Lin asked, "Do you understand now?" ”

Zong Ze pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "What Shaozai means, isn't it that although we know that it is difficult and dangerous to recover Youyan, but those of us who are officials still have to work hard to win, and we must move forward knowing the difficulties?" ”

Yang Lin turned his back and continued to look at the sea, shook his head and smiled: "I mean, my official is bigger than you, you have to do whatever you want, no matter whether this matter is ridiculous or not, let you build a city and start the ground for me, don't make noise." ”

Zong Ze gritted his teeth angrily, and angrily opened his teeth and claws at Yang Lin's back, eager to kick his ass and kick this Shangguan into the sea. If he is a completely stupid and incompetent official, he is too lazy to get angry, but this person is resourceful and decisive, and he likes to play tricks on people.

Zong Ze is also a lively person on weekdays, otherwise he would not dare to go to Zhaodefang to give gifts with two bad fish and bad wine, but he is often angry by Yang Lin's gaffe.

At this time, Han Shizhong rushed over and said suspiciously: "Zong Governor, what's wrong with your hands and feet?" ”

Zong Ze hurriedly scratched his head, and said with a normal expression: "The sea breeze is very cold, and there are some convulsions, so it's okay." ”

Han Shizhong sighed, stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the parchment scroll and said: "Shaozai, everything has been mapped, you see, build a harbor from this place, and then rely on this place to build a city on the periphery." ”

Yang Lin leaned his head and looked at it, calculated it in his heart, and then nodded and said: "Transfer people from Mizhou Port City to build it, and build the harbor first." At least dozens of large ships must be able to berth, and after a few days, it can come in handy. ”

The three of them got together again, discussed and agreed on the edge of the city wall, relying on the mountains and rivers to build, Yang Lin didn't care much about this.

Once this Tianjin Wei is completed, it has been restored to Youyan according to its own plans, but it is an inner city.

With a line of defense against Youyun, how can we still let the aliens go south to such a place, and then this will be the center of the north-south Caoyun, connecting the Huaiyang Jiangnan, and revitalizing the land of Hebei East Road with Youyan, and restoring prosperity.

More importantly, the establishment of the sleeve tower and the popularity of silver tickets have increased the importance of silver day by day.

Tianjin Wei can be connected to Dongying, which is the largest source of silver and gold, and the Japanese people still use silver and gold to exchange copper coins for the Great Song Dynasty and use them as circulating currency.

The southeast coast opened the city of Bosi, the Western Regions swept away the Khalhan to open the Silk Road, and now in the territory planned by Yang Lin, there is only this land of Youyan in Hebei, although it has not been obtained, but in his opinion, it is already in the bag, it is better to start the layout in advance.

These places are centered on Kaifeng Mansion, and when they are connected together, they can subtly change the status quo of the Great Song Dynasty concentrating all the wealth of the world in Bianliang, so that the local people will not be so bitter.

These plans must not be said to Zong Ze and other henchmen, and they may not be able to understand them. Among them, the Long Live Camp and the Sleeve Building, there are more or less some behaviors that abuse power for personal gain and exceed the prohibition, and it is better to cover it up.

Yang Lin sighed, and said in his heart that he used to make money by bribing Zhao Ji and Cai Jing to gain power for himself. When the power comes, it will be time to feed back this civilization and this wonderful era.

Zong Ze has been doing county orders back and forth for more than ten years in poor counties in the north, and he has some experience in people's livelihood.

Seeing that Yang Lin was rarely serious, he hurriedly asked: "Shaozai, these places are easy to build cities, how to attract people to settle down?" Our Hebei East Road, years of war, the people are not living, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. ”

Yang Lin looked at him and said with a smile: "Come and see, I have already thought about it, we are going to make a big fight in the land of Youyan and start a fierce battle." If you want everyone to settle here, you need to have a corresponding livelihood, recruit some poor and landless people, and establish several ordnance workshops here.

I reported to the imperial court and informed Cai Xiang that we would set up a workshop in the new city to make and store armaments, build boats and repair ships. In addition, sea transportation also requires a large number of trucks and horses and coolies to transport the materials transported by sea.

With these ways of making a living, the people naturally settled here, and after having people, other industries will slowly rise, and a small city will begin to take shape. ”

Zong Ze nodded, if he planned like this, it was very likely that Shaozai would get his wish. He didn't object to building a city here, in fact, he knew it was a great idea just after coming here, he was just worried that the Great Song Dynasty wouldn't be able to get Youyan back, and there would be no living space for this small city.

After all, this place is too close to Yanjing, and there is no danger to defend, so Caoyun here is not sent to the Khitan mouth for him to rob.

In Yanjing City, the Liao people had already detected the actions of the Song people on the seaside, and after learning that they were going to build a city, they were all a little annoyed.

The Song people seemed to have expected that the Khitan and Jurchen would not dare to attack them, so they recklessly built a city near the sea under their noses, but Yeluchun and the others really didn't dare to make any moves.

The iron cavalry of the Jurchens has slowly approached, and rumors of slaughtering cities and destroying villages in the north continue to flow to the land of Youyan, making people panic.

Wanyan Aguda defeated 700,000 Liao soldiers in the battle of the ancient city of Dalu, and the impact was far from dissipating, and the frightened Liao nobles continued to surrender.

The local rule of the Liao people is not strict, and there is actually a lot of power between the various tribes. Politically, it has always emphasized the north over the south, the people in the north are rewarded and punished, and the people in the south are just the opposite, although Nanjing all the way provides more than half of the income of the Great Liao.

In this way, the further south you go, the lower the loyalty of those Han army generals who used to be on the Nanjing Road of the Liao State more than 100 years ago, as a member of the Liao people's southward army, who stepped on the Hebei West Road.

Many Yandi heroes are reluctant to take refuge in Yang Lin, and they are also waiting for the Jurchens to go south, in their opinion, the Jurchens are the best destination. After all, when troubled times come, only the strong can control their own destiny, and if they take refuge in the losing side, they will inevitably be wiped out.

The Jurchens were often on the march, and there was no war at all, but they kept ambushing the land snakes that came to surrender, and led them south with them to burn, kill and plunder.

When Wanyan Wu begged to buy Shangjing, because the main force went to Datong Mansion with Aguda, and captured the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi alive. Wu Qimai couldn't buy 30,000 horses, and now it is close to Yanjing, and there are nearly 100,000 people.
