8. Morning and evening

"Okay, then do as Yisong says." Then Zhu Zhu said, "Feng Xiang here fully supports Chengwu to go to Huangyang to build a city camp, Jingyuan I don't go often, I have asked Yao Lingyan to stay for Xingying, anything Yisong can discuss with him, you two were colleagues before." ”

"Thank you very much." Gao Yue hurriedly said.

In Jingzhou City, Yao Lingyan received Gao Yue and promised to give him 3,000 Jingyuan soldiers to go to the camp.

"Two thousand four hundred soldiers are enough." Gao Yue said unhurriedly.

Yao Lingyan's face was full of question marks.

But Gao Yue just chuckled and was silent.

Soon Yao Lingyan understood, "Gao Kongmu, you will learn badly when you go back to the capital, and you want 3,000 soldiers, but in fact it is only 2,400, and you have to eat the remaining 600?" I eat one-fifth of this one (much darker than Duan Xiushi)! ”

Gao Yue calculated the account for Yao: "According to the servant's income in Baiquan Tuntian in the past, one hectare is set up with 100 acres, one hundred and thirty hectares is set up, and one hundred and thirty people can be set up in one tun, that is, each battalion soldier and his family can plant 100 acres of land. The servant opened fifteen tuns in Baili City this time, so 1,950 battalion soldiers were needed; It is also necessary to set up 20 beacons around Baili City, west to Huating, east to Ma Ting, each beacon is placed with five soldiers, three people are on the beacon, and two people are self-sustaining in eight acres of camp land on the edge of the beacon; 300 soldiers were also set up as 'Youyi', protecting the city, the field, the post and the residence. ”

"And what about fifty more?"

"These fifty people have been promoted to the officials of Baili New City to maintain the operation of the patrol hospital and the public office."

"No, no, no, I was almost blinded by you, and the vacancy of the six hundred people is empty?"

"Of course, it's to eat it, and charge the miscellaneous money of the Baili New City Mansion." Gao Yue was not ashamed.

Yao Lingyan raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and secretly said in his heart that this senior year of high school was not ordinarily bold.

However, the 600 vain quota still has to be pulled out of the Jingyuan army, originally Duan only ate one-tenth of the vacuum, that is, in the Jingyuan 30,000 soldiers to eat 3,000, now they have to pull out 600 and give it to Gao Yue, fortunately, Gao Yue is not greedy, it is to be a public party and give money to the officials equally, not to let himself monopolize, not to mention that if the camp is good, our military state will also benefit.

So Yao Lingyan didn't have any struggle, so he agreed.

On the Jingzhou martial arts platform, Gao Yue climbed up for the second time, this time he spoke much more confident than last time, wearing a vermilion scarlet robe, a horizontal knife hanging on the belt, a silver fish charm, and the fish charm was engraved with the name of "Gao Yue, who served as a flattering servant in the imperial history", plus he had served as a Confucian official in Jingyuan before, and he was very familiar with everyone, so 2,400 Jingyuan battalion soldiers were quickly selected.

Then Gao Yue turned around and said to the thousand Fan Yang soldiers brought from Fengxiang, "Wait for you to go to Huating Tuntian." ”

"Huating is in the westernmost part, when the West invades the road, don't go." Fan Yangbing quarreled.

"Then go to Liangyuan."

"Liangyuan is too far away from Baili City, so don't go!" Fan Yangbing is very arrogant.

"That can go to the easternmost Baishiyuan of the old city of Lingtai."

At this time, Fan Yangbing exchanged words, thinking that Bai Shiyuan was not bad, it was far from the front line, so he agreed.

"X's, to deal with this group of monkeys in Lulong Town (Youzhou), you really have to make a plan to make a plan." Gao Yue secretly thought in his heart, in fact, he was not going to go to Tuntian in the Liangyuan and Huating areas, because it was indeed too close to Xifan, and if Xifan invaded, the first thing to destroy would be Tuntian. But if it doesn't go all the way, how can Fan Yangbing readily agree?

Soon, according to Gao Yue's plan: Lingtai Baishiyuan opened six tun and eight hundred hectares of fields and handed them over to this group of Fan Yang soldiers.

When leaving Jingzhou City, at the east gate of the city, Ming Xuan, the chief monk of Alanta Temple, waited in the dust for a long time, and when he saw Gao Yue of the scarlet silverfish, he clasped his hands and said: "Gao Tanyue, it is really related to Jingzhou!" ”

Gao Yue hurriedly dismounted and held Ming Xuan's shoulder, "It's better for the mage to go to Baili New City to open a new temple, and all kinds of planning and drawings still depend on the mage!" ”

Ming Xuan laughed and agreed happily.

Of course, there was one more important thing before: Du Zhi had to give seeds, farm tools, ploughing cattle, iron and other money and goods, and also had to transport them to support the battalion soldiers' 'food for March', after all, the camp had to wait for a period of time to have a harvest, and the Du Zhi Division was responsible for what they had eaten and wod before.

But after all, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do - the original Household Department Judgment Branch and the Southeast Salt and Iron Transfer Envoy have been abolished by Yang Yan, but as Liu Yan expected, "The gold department and the warehouse department of the household department have already existed in name only, and now they want to take over the power in a hurry, how can they be competent?" So Yang Yan could only promote Zhao Zan to be the head of the household department and judge the branch, and re-take charge of the finance and salt profits of the Northwest Frontier Army; At the same time, he also asked Du You to be the transfer envoy of Quanzhi Jianghuai, replacing the original role of Liu Yan, supervising the transportation of the two taxes, Hudou rice and salt profits, everything is as usual, it can be said that the soup is not changed - soon after receiving Cui Ning, Zhu Zhu, Duan Xiushi and other old people, the emperor personally asked the Du branch to "pay money" as soon as possible.

Zhao Zan didn't dare to disobey, so he really gave money, silk, and salt to the Jingyuan Jinju Academy in Pingkang Fang.

And the Jinjuan also sent a letter to the merchants of Chang'an, and Xiao Yi and others responded positively.

The magic weapon of the degree branch division to attract businessmen lies in the "false valuation method", which is also Liu Yan's invention, Liu Yan in the southeast when he was in charge, the implementation of the salt law, the monopoly of salt has become a profiteering industry, the price of each bucket of salt is 300 Wen (before the salt law, each bucket of salt is only 10 Wen, it is not difficult to feel the comparison), among which the government can get 100 Wen, the salt merchant can get 100 Wen, the profit margin is 100 percent, then the natural salt merchants are rushing. Liu Yan reached an agreement with the salt merchants, encouraging them to exchange silk cloth for salt, and he raised the price of each silk cloth by 200 wen in order to "inflate" and make the salt merchants profitable, and then asked the salt merchants to pay for the silk cloth to be sent to the capital by boat, and then distributed to the soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army as clothing (it was useless to give money, the desolation of the Northwest Frontier at that time, you couldn't buy grain and cloth with money).

This time, Zhao Zan of the Du Branch Division, at the suggestion of Zhu Zhu, Cui Ning and other ministers (in fact, it was Gao Yue's plan), also painted a scoop according to the gourd, and also "falsely estimated" some benefits to the merchants, let them purchase various materials, and then organize a team to continuously transport materials from the capital to the west, and after being transported to Baili New Town, after counting and verifying, Gao Yue stamped the seal of the Jingyuan Military Mansion and the current Yingtian Patrol Institute of Yuanzhou on the inscription, and this group of merchants went back and went directly to the Jingyuan Jinju Courtyard in the capital to receive money or salt with the seal and the inscription.

This is one of the links that Gao Yue said about "supplementing the army with business".

Before the caravan of Chang'an set off, a grass shed was set up under a big gantang tree in front of the old city of Baili, Gao Yue sat on the pu mat under it, and Liu Deshu and Ming Xuan sat behind it.

This whole result is really miserable, and there are only about 300 households in the entire Lingtai County.
