Guan Shanyue, who was accompanying Wei Zhongxian to breakfast, trembled, and then quickly regained her composure, "Looking at Brother Wei's calm and relaxed appearance, he must have an idea, how do you think we can do it?" ”

Wei Zhongxian seemed to have guessed that Guan Shanyue would say this, so he was not surprised at all, took out a white handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Build a high wall and accumulate grain." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Guan Shanyue was silent for a moment, Wei Zhongxian's suggestion was not old-fashioned, he knew that there was still the most important sentence that had not been said, "I will write a conscription notice in a while, this is our foundation, only with the military power in our hands, no matter who wants to move our Duo Yanwei, we have to weigh it in advance." ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and a fine light shot out of his cloudy eyes, "The imperial court doesn't collect our taxes, but it hasn't given us a penny of food." Let's just say that the rescue a while ago, the imperial court stayed and did not send it, if it wasn't for Qin Taibao's efforts to turn the tide, we would really have fulfilled their wishes. We can't have the heart to harm people, and we can't have the heart to defend people, so we have to recruit more troops. Because in the face of absolute power, no matter how unfathomable the intrigue will pale in comparison. ”

Guan Shanyue thought for a moment, agriculture is now the foundation for the future development of Duoyan City and Daning Dusi, and only when sufficient food is produced can the army be expanded. Although there is arable land in Duoyan City now, there are not enough people engaged in agricultural production, and there are really not enough soldiers to raise too many soldiers, "Well, the younger brother has been taught." However, this matter should not be rushed, soldiers must be had. However, with our current strength, it is better to build an elite army first and take the old road of fighting to support war. ”

Wei Zhongxian gasped, with a hint of sternness in his eyes, and then stretched out his thumb, "Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, this is true." Do you want to eat Horqin? Have you ever thought that this would lead the newly improved Duoyan City into a dangerous situation from which it will never recover? ”

Guan Shanyue nodded solemnly, "Wealth and danger are in danger, I will make sufficient preparations before this." ”

Wei Zhongxian's expression regained his composure, his eyes became cloudy again, he felt that he was too excited just now, "How sure are you if you are ready?" ”

Guan Shanyue glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said lightly: "At most, the Horqin Department is too big, and it is a snake swallowing an elephant for us now." ”

Wei Zhongxian stared at the young Daning Dudu Commander for a while, and sighed, "You originally knew that this was a snake swallowing an elephant, why did you still touch this moldy head." In the past, when we were at the craziest in Duoyan City, we were able to eat the rest of Horqin, and I think this is more like the Horqin tribe annexing us, because their population is much larger than ours. ”

Population is the bottleneck that restricts the development of Duoyan City, Guan Shanyue has been struggling with this problem, and it was only last night that the appearance of the White Lotus Sect made things take a turn for the better.

If you want to increase the population, Duoyan City now has two ways to go, one is to requisition the landless peasants and the people who are willing to relocate from the Senei, this road is the most feasible, the emperor and the cabinet of the dynasty are estimated to wake up laughing when they sleep, but Duoyan City really does not have so much food to feed the excess population now. The other is to plunder the Mongolian tribes that have a surplus in their hands and can be self-sufficient, the small tribes have been swept away, and now the fat that Saibei Duoyanwei has the opportunity to eat is the Horqin department.

Guan Shanyue felt that the thoughts in his heart were a little immature, but he felt that he should say it and let Wei Zhongxian correct him, "I want to secretly send someone to the Uszangdu Division to invite a great monk to come, and then build the largest temple in the north of the country to worship him, and the place will be in Kulun City." ”

Wei Zhongxian squinted and thought for a moment, he was already about to be persuaded by Guan Shanyue, and couldn't help but think about it, "You want to use the power of religion to subdue the people, so that things will progress gently." But if you're determined to do this, I don't think you need to go to Uszangdus, it's too time-consuming. In my opinion, let Zai Sai go and invite the largest living Buddha in the Khalkha tribe near Kulun City, Jebtsundan Bahutuktu, and the Khalkha department will give him this face. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly realized, he was completely convinced by Guan Shanyue's thoughts, "Oh, I understand, what a killing three birds with one stone." Brother, you want to moisten things silently and take down the Khalkha Department, admire, admire. ”

Guan Shanyue didn't feel happy at all when she heard Wei Zhongxian's approval, and smiled bitterly, "This is just talk on paper, and the development of things will not be so smooth." ”

Wei Zhongxian stood up and bowed deeply to Guan Shanyue, "Xizong's ignorance of political affairs has not only created me a 'nine thousand years old', once the cabinets of the court and the central government grasp the power, how can they easily return it." Hey, it's all me who harmed the current saint, and his current situation may be even more difficult than ours, and he can only peel off the cocoon if he wants to take back his rights. It is said that our ministers are a group of mourning dogs when they leave the emperor, but as long as they taste the taste of power, who is willing to be a dog, people's desires are unlimited, and evil servants and bullying will also happen. Planning is in people, and things are in heaven, and I will support you wholeheartedly. With that, he got up and took his leave.

Guan Shanyue listened to Wei Zhongxian's words without beginning or end, and only now did she know that Wei Zhongxian felt guilty about Chongzhen, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that he would support himself wholeheartedly.

In the afternoon, notices were posted all over Duoyan City, and even those remote towns and villages had people riding horses to preach.

Although the conditions for conscription were almost harsh, the conditions offered were too generous, and the conscription in the eastern part of the city became crowded in the afternoon, because the number of places for conscription was only 10,000.

Guan Shanyue is the kind of person who is suspicious and does not need to use people, he can't do everything, he completely let go of the power and started to be the shopkeeper, and only left the final decision in his hands.

All kinds of things are being carried out in an orderly manner, coal mines, silver mines, iron mines, copper mines, etc. are the first to resume production, iron and steel mills, weapons factories, and foundries are close behind, and the newly built textile factories are also recruiting female workers while starting production, and the machine of the entire Duoyan City begins to start slowly.

At the beginning of spring, Sebuteng, who knew that Duoyan City's troops were empty, gave Guan Shanyue a big surprise, he not only completed the alliance with the East China Sea Jurchen and Beishan Jurchen, but also brought more than 10,000 soldiers to Duoyan City. Most of these soldiers were Jurchens and Kuwu people in the East China Sea, and some Beishan Jurchens were also mixed in. In fact, this is thanks to Guan Shanyue and their fight with Houjin in Kulun City, otherwise Houjin would not have stopped the war against the Jurchens in the East China Sea in a panic, so they had the opportunity to draw so many troops.

Guan Shanyue didn't be polite to Sebuteng, and collected all the materials including cotton and other materials, and now the pressure on Duoyan City is really great.

As soon as he heard that although a long time had passed since the Longqing switch at this time, the imperial court was still inclined to do business with the Portuguese, Guan Shanyue moved his mind.

Again, I heard Sebuteng say that because Kuyi Island is a three-way zone, there are more and more Spanish merchant ships on the island. Guan Shanyue's eyes lit up, he seemed to see a mountain of materials and inexhaustible money, and he decided to hold Kuyi Island firmly in his hands.

"Sebuteng, after you go back, you must have a good relationship with the Kuwu people, and then take away 8,000 Han Chinese peasants and 1,000 Mongolian cavalry, craftsmen and farm tools from Duoyan City, you can choose whatever you want, and you must develop Kuyi Island. I thought about it, the largest city was called Sakhalin City, and the remaining two were called Yongning City and the other was called Sun-Chasing City. I heard that after Mao Wenlong was killed, his subordinates had contact with Houjin, and you must build a port to prevent Houjin's surprise attack. ”

Sebuteng nodded, "I know the news of Mao Wenlong's killing, which is also the reason why Yuan Chonghuan refused to take the opportunity to recover the lost territory and take Shengjing when you and Houjin were killed in Kulun City, at that time Mao Wenlong had already arrived at his big tent, and then he was busy appeasing Mao Wenlong's subordinates. I've heard you're fighting very hard in Cullen. ”

Guan Shanyue's heart was like a knife when she heard this, "It's all over, don't mention it, many brothers are gone." I must avenge this shame with Houjin, you should get close to your father, you will be busy in the future. ”

The people of the entire city of Duoyan were busy, and Setel, who was busy training new soldiers, was also close to his son for a few days, and then urged him to hurry back to Kuyi Island.

Although he was reluctant to light up the population and supplies, Sebuteng still rushed to Kuyi Island with a large number of iron pots without hesitation, and he had to rush to get this shipment before Francisco arrived.
