You Shixiong's worries are not superfluous, the borders of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the detailed demarcation with the Liao State because of the contract, the definition of other boundary lines is relatively vague.

In some places, there is a mountain or a river, and the two countries are bounded by mountains and rivers, which seems to be very clear, but with the mountain as the boundary, whether it is said that the point of the highest peak of the mountain is the boundary or the middle point of the whole mountain area is decomposed, few people say clearly.

It is not uncommon for rivers to be bounded by rivers that vary in their flow every year due to their different river flows, and even in years with abundant rain, the river may have a large flood and change its course.

It's just that most of the places on the border between the two countries are deserted places where no one lives or where people are inaccessible, so such a blurred line does not cause any major problems.

This was the case with the Qinfeng Road and the Western Xia to the north, and the eastern Tibetan tribes to the west, such as the border between the Qingtang and the Na Kuo Luo.

No one goes to such a place, and no one cares, if Yang Huairen encloses a large piece of land to build a ranch, I'm afraid no one cares.

It's just that such a place may be different after having a ranch, there are always some nomadic tribes, in order to grab more food and money to buy food, will continue to loot the ranch, this is the part that troubles the ranch operation.

Yang Huairen actually thought of this, the more remote it is, the more unattended the place, the more trouble it sounds like, but on the other hand, since no one cares, the more freedom he has.

When a ranch is built, it is natural that all precautions will be prepared, and some people will be recruited from the rivers and lakes or around the ranch to serve as guardians and the like, which is also unattended.

Since this is the case, even if Yang Huairen raises a group of private soldiers here who specialize in protecting the normal operation of the ranch, no one will say anything.

And Yang Huairen knew that it wouldn't be long before Zhang Dian would go to the book and launch another Song-Xia War.

In Zhang Dan's dream, the Song and Xia continued to fight like this for the Great Song Dynasty to continue to consume national strength, and he would use a complete victory to drive the Western Xia regime to more remote places in the northwest, and by the way, destroy the Qing Tang Dynasty and the Gang Luo regime that had always been bad behind the scenes.

As for the tribes in the Qingtang and the Na Gul that were friendly to the Great Song Dynasty, he would make a peace agreement with them, so that they would submit to the Great Song and become dependent states of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it will not be long before the place where Yang Huairen's chosen ranch is located is likely to no longer be the border, and the problem of being infested by nomadic beards will be solved.

He said to You Shixiong, "This old general You really doesn't have to worry about me, as long as you can pay more attention to the construction process, when the construction is completed, there will be no more problems like that." ”

You Shixiong carefully tasted Yang Huairen's words, and at first felt that this kid seemed to have too big a heart, and invested so much money to build a huge ranch, wouldn't he be worried about being destroyed by the Hu people?

But then he remembered what Yang Huairen had just told him that there would be changes in the northwest next year, and when he linked the two things together and then analyzed them, he felt immediately enlightened, and he finally thought of what kind of changes Yang Huairen was talking about.

You Shixiong was overjoyed, grinning and laughing, "Good thing, good thing, good thing!" Haha!"

When he finished laughing, he went to look at Yang Huairen again and found that this kid was also laughing, but his smile seemed to be very ambiguous.

You Shi Zhizhi said that this kid's personality is really unpredictable, sometimes he looks stupid, sometimes he is very shrewd, he built a new pasture on the Songtu border for his yak trade.

He bought a large number of yaks from the eastern Tibetan provinces, and soon became a monopoly in this trade, which could be supplied to his chain of restaurants on the one hand, and sold to others on the other hand, making a profit from it.

And he wanted to promote the cultivation of potatoes in Qinfeng Road, and he also wanted to make money from the sale of potatoes, but You Shixiong was even more pleased to see the actual benefits that this would bring to the people of Qinfeng Road in the future.

At the very least, the people's dining table will be richer, and the food problem of the border army can also be well alleviated, but the money earned here, You Shixiong is still not enough, compared to the money he took out 50,000 yuan to build an academy on Qinfeng Road, I am afraid it is not so easy to earn.

Thinking about it like this, You Shixiong felt that something was wrong, Yang Huairen, this kid was definitely a master who couldn't afford to make a profit, and he wouldn't do it if he lost money, so why did he choose his Qinfeng Road, a place in the west of the courtyard, to do these two good things?

For the sake of profit, You Shixiong thinks he didn't understand, for the sake of fame? That's even more not, he didn't want to build a monument to him to promote his reputation, so what was he for?

You Shixiong couldn't figure it out, but he was straightforward and immediately asked, "Yang Huairen, you said that your trip is definitely not as simple as simply doing two good things, right?"

The old man always thinks that you have other purposes, but it's a pity that the old man is stupid, and after thinking about it, I haven't guessed where your kid is holding back, I don't know if I can point it out to the old man? ”

"What did General You say?"

Yang Huairen pretended to be angry, "In your heart, I, Yang Huairen, am just an insatiable person, so I can't do something good for the benefit of the country and the people?"

You're really ...... didn't underestimate me, haha, I really have other purposes, but it's not for anyone to be bad, but it's a good thing for me to benefit, you to benefit, and our Da Song Dynasty to benefit. ”

You Shixiong raised his eyebrows, he really didn't understand that Yang Huairen always looked complacent, where did he come up with the ghost idea, and where did he get the confidence, what he wanted to do, it must be beneficial to all three parties.

Yang explained, "In fact, just by looking at the surface, you should be able to think of what I am going to do. I won't hide it from you, building a ranch is a kind of saying, and if I put it another way, you might understand.

I want to build a border trade base camp on the northwest border. The location of the ranch may seem like a deserted border now, but within three years, I dare say it will no longer be a border.

When there are more cattle and sheep there, there will naturally be people who raise cattle and sheep and sell cattle and sheep, and if there are more people, it will naturally develop into a people's settlement, and it will gradually become a distribution center for commodity trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions.

As it grows, it will become a town, then a county seat, and finally a large northwestern city on the scale of a state capital. ”
