After Purun, cross the bamboo bridge on the Daxi River, and arrive at the Baili City of Jingzhou.

Many Jingyuan archers who had camped with Gao Yue in the past, heard that Gao Yue came to the city, to help the old and the young, through the long ridges, kneeling on the side of the road, holding corn, vegetables and vegetables, all to offer to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue, who was on the horse, raised his hand and signaled that he didn't need to.

"I don't want Gao Yin to win people's hearts like this." Ju Wenzhen said.

Before Gao Yue was modest, King Pu, the right marshal of Longyou in Baili City, took his servants and went out of the city to greet him.

For a time, the most powerful local officials in the entire imperial court, the most favored clan clansmen, and the most powerful nobles in the forbidden area gathered together, shocking the entire Jingyuan - as for Xing Junya and others who led a large number of Shence soldiers to come to pay their respects, it was really not worth mentioning.

Baili City is now not what it used to be, and after Xing Junya took office, he expanded the circle and added flag pavilions, horse faces and buildings, but even so, Gao Yue still had hot eyes when he saw the familiar watchtowers of the inner city, the straight thoroughfares, the mansions on both sides, the towering beacons, and the inner city walls and coupon gates lying on the east and west sides.

After all, it is the place where he has sweated and poured his heart and soul!

"Go to the riverside inspector to build a military city, great pleasure, great pleasure, be sure to lead Xiao Wang to go, Xiao Wang has not seen the river so far......" After nightfall, Baili City will be the original public house expanded in the "Longyou Marshal Mansion", at the banquet in the silk and bamboo ears, wine and hot face, King Pu hugged the bewitching Meiji, white middle clothes exposed round neck, laughed, and made this request to Gao Yue and Ju Wenzhen.

"Brother-in-law." At this time, Cui Yunsheng, the concubine of King Pu, sat enthusiastically opposite Gao Yue's seat and poured him wine.

Gao Yuelian said Qu Amei.

"What's unyielding, Baili City is such a big place, this king came here to leave the town, and after Gao Yin built the military city and dredged the water transportation, it was time to go back to Beijing." King Pu looked at Gao Yue's eyes at this time, and suddenly showed a trace of envy and unwillingness, but when Ju Wenzhen's eyes turned to him, he instantly became dissolute again, and took the opportunity to shout to Gao Yue with the strength of wine: "Xiao Wang and Gao Yin are not inside or outside, my concubine is yours, let Yunshang sleep for you tonight, life is alive, but the two things of wine and beautiful women, but two things of wine and beautiful women." ”

"Nonsense." Gao Yue remained silent and flatly refused.

Who expected King Pu to smile even more happily, and said Gao Yue, you look down on Azang from the Qiang people, but don't mind, there is a custom of "wife and sister" in the Qiang people in Longyou, not to mention that Azang warms your pillow for a night, after all, she is nominally the daughter of the Cui family in Shengpingfang.

Gao Yue was embarrassed when he said this.

Just when Ju Wenzhen was about to admonish King Pu, an exclamation sounded: The unhappy Cui Yunsheng, that is, Azang, immediately raised the wine jug, came to the upper seat, and carried it to the top of King Pu's head, and then poured the wine down, pouring King Pu's face all over his face......

Two days later, King Pu, who was still a little drunk, was dangling on horseback, and Cui Yunshang followed him with a bow and arrow, and they finally got permission to follow Gao Yue and Ju Wenzhen.

Then they passed through Liangyuan City, and then to Huating, at this moment the entire Huating City is also expanding, Xuanwu Army has been dismissed from the autumn prevention task, under the leadership of Liu Chang, Li Wanrong returned to the town, Gao Yue transferred a thousand generals of the Yining Army, responsible for this project.

The whole Tiehua Mountain is surrounded by white smoke rising from boiled Sanhe soil, Ju Wenzhen and King Pu pointed with a horsewhip, asking how Gao Yue broke Shang Jiezan on both sides of the river, Gao Yue answered one by one, and the two of them let out exclamations from time to time, as if a thrilling battle appeared in front of them.

Then leave Huating, then cross the so-called copper mountain, to Zhangxin County, Juwen Zhen sees, between the stone cliffs of the copper mountain, there are red vein lines, the copper ore excavated in nature, the original color is only one kind, that is red: between the foot of the mountain and the high platform, full of man's mouth-like mine holes, outside with wood to erect a shed, the miners carrying bamboo baskets on their backs go in and out like ants, up and down the sandy road along the mountainside, many workshops and houses under the mountain surround a huge copper furnace, and the fire stains half of the mountain wall.

Through the wooden fence, Ju Wenzhen saw that beside the copper furnace, many craftsmen had placed tin-made coinage molds and crucibles on the ground, where copper coins were being cast.

The copper coins produced in Qinzhou Copper Mountain, called "Xingyuan Tongbao", the outline of the money is blackened by fire, used for anti-counterfeiting, also called "fire paint money" - Gao Yue told Ju Wenzhen that there are thirteen places before and after the copper furnace in Zhangxin County in Qinzhou, and more than 17,000 new coins can be minted every year, and the cost of minting money together with the cost of helper fees, material costs, and fuel costs is exactly the same as new money.

Even if it doesn't make money, it still makes a lot of sense:

Because for the Tang Dynasty at that time, the cost of minting money in Xuanzhou and transporting it to Beijing was two, but even so, in order to alleviate the "money shortage" that made the society miserable, the Tang government still had to mint money at a discount to ensure the needs of the expanding commodity economy.

Therefore, after the completion of the coinage furnaces in Qinzhou and Shangzhou, the cost can reach one to one with the new money, which is a joyful thing for the emperor.

Over the copper mountain, is to pass the branch of the mill and Pan Yuan, this wilderness west is Pingliang City, east of the bluestone ridge is Lianyunbao and Jingzhou City.

"It's a pity, how nice it is to use it as a big horse stadium!" In the sunset, looking at the beautiful scenery of the wilderness, King Pu sighed, but his idea could not be realized - now there are several Qiangtun set up here, supporting the needs of the horse workshop, and there are thousands of war horses inside, all of which are horses that the emperor had bought from Hui Hui, and all of them are flying dragon seals, and now they are in twos and threes, and they are bowing their heads in the grass, and then wait for a month, this group of horses can stop and release green, gallop freely and run between the cliffs and fields of Jingyuan, and they can exercise a strong physique before autumn and winter.

After passing Panyuan, it enters Xiaoguan Road, this road is sandwiched between Liupan Mountain and Ziwuling, the center is the Hulu River, after this river goes out of Baicao City, it is renamed Weiruchuan, until it flows into the Yellow River.

Finally, Ju Wenzhen and King Pu saw, from the destruction of the sand castle to the Shuanglu Mountain, are full of Shence soldiers who are guarding the fortification, and Feng Xiang and Xingyuan are recruited from the strong men, the sound of logging resounded in the sky, and there are constantly trees falling down in the field of vision, and then after a simple cutting, the branches are removed, and they become rows of logs, which are pulled by the calves that keep chirping, and then they are thrown into the gourd river, and every ten logs are tied into rafts, and the rafts are tied with various iron utensils, and they go down the river to the north, rise and float, and go to the Feng'an Military City at the mouth of the river.

Looking at this scene, everyone was full of pride, simply left the honor guard, rode several horses, and followed the logs in the surging river, all the way to the north.

"Xiao Wang, I finally saw the big river! Beautiful, magnificent! Ten days later, the stubble-faced King Pu carried the red rising sun on his back, looking at the estuary where the Feng'an Military City is located, the mighty Yellow River, and couldn't help but feel proud!
