"You see that the prostitutes of Yangzhou are all gathered on high-rise buildings, lined up along the river and long streets, which is like Chang'an, they all live in the street song in Pingkangfang? The markets in Shudu are all in Xicheng and Xiangjiang in the south, and this Yangzhou - it seems that the entire Luocheng is in the market! ”

"Mouthful, you're out of breath now, and you only know how to stare at the prostitutes, and you can see that you're coming out of the door? Let Aso know that you can't break your legs. ”

The master and servant talked and laughed, and dismounted at the Zhongshu Gate: along this gate into the north, the terrain rises up, and it is Shugang where Yangzhou Zicheng is located.

The sub-city is based on the Hancheng built by Wu Wangfucha. Now it is the concentration of the Huainan military government and the official office, with several doors and a cross street.

This military government is also magnificent enough, from top to bottom can overlook the entire Luocheng, to the north you can also see the Cao Canal, around the north of the city called the Chai River, in the past Duya is standing on the military building, watch the dragon boat race held on it.

No wonder after the Song Dynasty, Hong Mai also talked about Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, because it was the hub of Caoyun, salt and iron, how to be prosperous and extravagant, and even said that "this dynasty has been peaceful for one hundred and seventy years, (Yangzhou) has not yet been able to reach the eleventh of the Tang Dynasty, and today it is really sour." ”

Soon, the main hall of the military government, Gu Xiu, the judge of the shogunate, Yuan Hong, the secretary of the army, and Zhang Peng, the secretary of the army, came to meet together.

Gao Yue encouraged everyone, and then left Gu Xiu behind, and said: "I think the reason why Yangzhou got the name 'Yang' is because the local people are not happy with farming, like businessmen, and take off profit, which happens to be a light Yang, but this place is rich in characters, not only exquisite production, quick response, and art and Confucianism, Yu Si is prosperous, even if the people in Lu Yanli, in addition to making a living, especially chanting poetry, it is really worthy of the name of the treasure of the world, outstanding people. ”

Gu Xiu replied: "In the past, the Jin royal family was broadcast, and many people took refuge here, and the Yan, Xie, Xu, Yu and other families spread the atmosphere, so until now, Weiyang people still like to chant poetry, are versatile, and dare to act as the first in the world." ”

Gao Yue bowed his head in agreement, of course, he still had several most important goals in mind.

"Ji Gong ......"

"Alas, Bowen, there is no one else here, just call me Yisong."

"Yisong, you want to move to Shouzhou?"

Gao Yue gave an affirmative answer to Gu Xiu's question, he said - I came to lead the town of Huainan, the most important thing is to command the crusade against Huaixi in the center, and ensure the transportation of Jianghuai, now the latter problem is roughly solved, the former is the top priority, Shouzhou is adjacent to Huaixi Guangzhou, and controls Yingshui, Huaishui and Juchao Lake, which is conducive to the army.

Once the armies of Dongdu and Chen Xu attacked Huaixi Yuncheng from the north, Deng Tang attacked the western border of Huaixi, and Eyue attacked the southwest of Huai, and I attacked Gwangju on the east side of it, and attacked from all sides, Wu Shaocheng could not fly.

At this moment, Gu Xiu said to Gao Yue, Huainan Guanyang, Chu, Chu, He, Lu, Shou, Shu seven prefectures, nearly 300,000 households, one million people, 2 million yuan in taxes every year, 600,000 yuan just for the offering, and Xichuan is a court of confrontation, as long as Yi Song is willing to recruit soldiers, not to mention anything else, there is no problem at all to raise 30,000 people in ten days.

Gao Yue said, I know that Huainan is still the old military system, in addition to thousands of soldiers, there are also unity soldiers in various states, the number of hundreds or thousands, but in today's war, there are not many soldiers, so there is no need to recruit additional rights and interests soldiers, lest when the war is over, it is not easy to dismiss, and the burden is heavy.

"It's okay, I've privately saved more than one million yuan in the military government treasury in the past nine years, which is enough to meet the needs of recruitment." Gu Xiu saw that there was no one around, so he whispered to Gao Yue, "Du Ya picketed tightly before, but I still covered up the past, after he left the town, I plan to spend this money before the new Jiedu envoy takes office, so as not to be tired, but I heard that Yi Song is here to ...... you."

Gao Yue was very shocked and very moved, and couldn't help but hold Gu Xiu's hand, this is the real Taofen friend!

But that's not enough.

"Fighting Huaixi, I want a lot of military expenses, in addition to the part of the town's envoys and Bowen's private savings, immediately the Jingkou side (Runzhou Jingkou, where the Han Wei Town Navy Office is located, and Yangzhou across the river, very close) taxes, Your Majesty promised that I can intercept 1.2 million yuan as military expenses, of course, I will also lead the merchants of Yangzhou City."

"Merchant?"

"Yes, Yangzhou City has always been the place where the towns and towns send military schools back to business, and many mansions are in the names of the towns, and these festivals make use of Yangzhou's hub to transport goods and merchants, but they never have to pay taxes, and all the benefits have flowed into their private pockets, isn't it?" Gao Yue's voice was fierce.

Therefore, in the name of conquering Huaixi, he asked Yangzhou merchants to donate "money to help the army".

Xingyuan, Fengxiang and even Xiangyang, Jiangling businessmen can donate, loan a lot, this Yangzhou can not be left behind, and after the pacification of Huaixi, the long-term benefits of Yangzhou to the interior of the trade are very obvious!

Seeing that Gu Xiu's face was embarrassed, Gao Yue further said, Bowen, do you have a book? Check it out for me, "Which town has the most mansions and warehouses in my Yangzhou, and the most profits?" I'll take it first. ”

Against all odds, I'll have to make them bleed!

Gu Xiu really had an account in his heart, and then he opened his mouth and said to Gao Yue:

"Xingyuan Mansion."

The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Gao Yue was so embarrassed that he couldn't open his mouth for a while.

Although now Xingyuan Festival is Gao Gu, but a few years ago under his administration, he did do business in Yangzhou, leasing a large number of mansions, and then although Huaixi used river thieves to cut off the Yangtze River shipping, but every year Gao Yue's agent in Yangzhou still uses the name of Xingyuan Mansion to change the profits into flying money, send it to Beijing, and then realize it from the cash cabinet of Jingshi Xiaohaichi, and then transport it to Xingyuan locally.

Therefore, in the Xingyuan arsenal, nearly two million yuan of savings are not blown by the wind.

"Is that so?" Gao Yue asked again.

Gu Xiu nodded, "It's true, because Xingyuan has a total of thirty-four shops, warehouses, and mansions in Yangzhou, and they evaded taxation through my means, and of course, I also relied on their funding to rise step by step to the official rank of Sima of the Governor's Mansion from the fourth grade." ”

“...... Whether it's Yangzhou or Xingyuan, it's all for my Tang society...... Immediately conquer Huaixi, Xingyuan Mansion is also going to send troops. Gao Yue explained, and then he coughed lightly twice, and said It's okay, Bowen, you go and arrange it, and let our businessmen in Yangzhou Yingzhan take the lead in expressing their stance immediately.

At this time, Gu Xiu reminded: "The merchants in Yangzhou City are divided into several categories, each with their own reliance. One type mostly operates industrial and commercial and mansion shops on the long street, relying on our military government and other towns; One is the salt merchants in the east of the city, who are mostly linked to the backyard of Yangzi, because Wang Haichao is the leader of the Huainan salt field; There are also tea merchants in Luzhou and Shouzhou, and they are very close to Meng Zhongyang of Shoulu Patrol Hospital; The last category is the so-called Hu merchants, of course, not only from Persia and Dashi, but also from Borneo, Fuso, Balha, and Silla, who deal in foreign treasures to make money. ”

To Gu Xiu's surprise, Gao Yue just said, just call the first and fourth types of businessmen, Wang Haichao and Meng Zhongyang, I am not going to touch them for the time being.
