Cui Zhe, the head of the Cui family, evacuated the Tang Dynasty with the Cui family and moved to Yuanhua, Cui Yuan finally awarded Cui Zhe the position of the city lord of Liaodong City after several meetings.

As for the former Liaodong City Lord, when he got permission to build a salt field by the sea, and when he saw Yang Wenhua's secret method of salt fields, all his grievances were soothed.

Even if the price of Yuanhua salt is not high, this is also a big deal, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter if he is the city lord or the owner of the salt field, if the salt field is done, it is no worse than the city lord of Liaodong.

After that, Cui Zhe took the entire Cui family and settled down in Liaodong City.

Compared with Datang, everything in Yuanhua makes the Cui family very satisfied, not only there is no agricultural tax here, but the business environment is very relaxed, as long as there is no problem in terms of taxation, everything can be obtained by trading.

And the entire Yuanhua also welcomed the arrival of the Cui family.

The talents of the Cui family can be filled with all walks of life in Yuanhua, including all departments of the government, and the door is also open to the Cui family, anyway, there are fierce law enforcers in Goguryeo, and they are not afraid of causing any problems.

Even if Gao Huizhen and Gao Yanshou can't hold it down, if there is not a king behind them, the Cui family will not make too much trouble.

Not only is it the talent of the Cui family, but the materials of the Cui family also play a complementary role in Yuanhua, and the relationship network of the Cui family also allows Yuanhua's copper and iron to be quickly transformed into food and other materials that Yuanhua urgently needs.

The combination of the two not only allowed the Cui family to further expand, but also allowed Yuanhua to develop rapidly and steadily.

Just when the situation in Yuanhua was very good, Yang Wenhua sent a batch of silver jewelry, and a letter came with it.

In the letter, Yang Wenhua explained in detail the matter of trading one billion dollars with Li Shimin, and reminded Li Shimin's possible actions.

At the same time, Yang Wenhua also gave a suggestion, as long as the price is appropriate, whether it is a neighboring country or a businessman, if you want copper and iron, you will give copper and iron.

As for the future, no matter which neighboring country wants to fight, Yuanhua should fight, and it is better to fight early, especially when the elite in Guanzhong cannot be mobilized, the sooner this battle comes, the better.

If Yuanhua wants to gain a foothold in heaven and earth, he must also withstand the test of a great war, although Yuanhua is not well prepared, but others cannot be fully prepared.

The battle of foothold is finished as soon as possible, and Yuanhua should re-plan and develop as soon as possible.

In the end, after several rounds of discussion, Yuanhua accepted Yang Wenhua's opinion, anyway, with Yang Wenhua's silver jewelry as the foundation, Yuanhua did not suffer.

When Hou Junji sent someone to Yuanhua to explain that he wanted to use the adhesive paper money to buy fine iron, Cui Yuan agreed as much as he wanted, as long as he gave money, he wanted as much as he wanted.

Cui Yuan's crispness and neatness caught Hou Junji a little off guard, and he always wondered if Cui Yuan had any other plans.

It turns out that Hou Junji is too careful, when Hou Junji tentatively asked people to come to Yuanhua with 100 million plastic paper money to buy fine iron, Yuanhua completed the transaction without hesitation.

In the next few transactions, there was no problem, which made Hou Junji even more uneasy, and he really didn't know what Yuan Hua wanted to do.

After Yuanhua got the first batch of plastic paper money, he directly replaced the copper and iron beads that were originally issued to officials and soldiers at all levels with plastic paper money, and many shops of the Cui family were willing to accept it, and it did not cause any waves.

After receiving the adhesive paper money, many shops of the Cui family immediately exchanged them for silver jewelry from Cui Yuan's hands and put them into the market.

Under several cycles, in just one month, Yang Wenhua's billion money smoothly entered the hands of the people of Yuanhua, which promoted the commercial development of Yuanhua.

It makes all kinds of transactions more smooth.

Earlier, Cui Yuan was eager to trade the adhesive tape as soon as possible, but after most of the real transactions were made, he quickly stopped.

Because after most of the transactions were out, after Yuanhua's second month's salary was replaced with copper and iron beads, it attracted complaints from officials at all levels, and the more senior officials, the more they complained.

Can you use a car to pull a month's salary and decorate the paper money to come and go?

Based on Cui Yuan's understanding of Yang Wenhua, Cui Yuan can be sure that Yang Wenhua can have as much of this kind of adhesive paper money as he wants, so Cui Yuan wants to spend the adhesive paper money as soon as possible.

But at this moment, Cui Yuan couldn't understand, how did this glue paper money really become money?

While Yuanhua traded with Hou Junji, he also began to actively prepare for the war.

Among them, the most active is Cui Zhe, the lord of Liaodong City.

Cui Zhe first used cement to increase the walls of the small cities around Liaodong into a tall city wall ten meters high and five meters wide.

Then use a large amount of money in his hands to buy all the money and grain in Liaodong, not only Liaodong, when the price of grain is speculated, the two states of Youji, including Goguryeo and other three peninsula countries, as well as the grain of the Wa Kingdom also began to concentrate on Yuanhua.

Yuanhua is not short of money, Yang Wenhua built a blast furnace for Yuanhua, and produces copper and iron every day, as well as Yang Wenhua's silver ornaments, and billions of plastic paper money, which are all things that are sought after by everyone.

Moreover, the Cui family, as a five-surnamed seven-sect, also has terrifying financial resources for hundreds of years, not to mention that the Cui family itself is a business-oriented family, and the financial resources are also top-notch in the five surnames and seven sects.

When Cui Wu returned to Yuanhua, even if it was the autumn harvest and the grain price was the lowest, Cui Zhe also made the grain price increase a little.

On the one hand, building many fortifications requires a lot of food, and on the other hand, Cui Zhe hopes that in this way, when Hou Junji fights over, it will increase the difficulty for him to collect food.

Cui Zhe's goal was achieved, and when the autumn harvest in August in the Northeast was reached, Hou Junji did face the problem of difficulty in collecting grain.

After decades of wars and turmoil, after continuous integration, the people are scarce, and there are many families.

If it was usual, Hou Junji could still find a way to get food, but in the face of Yuanhua's robbery, which was not bad for money, Hou Junji was a little unable to show it.

It's too much, and I'm afraid of a rebellion below, and when the time comes, Yuanhua will come to join forces with the outside, and the trouble will be even greater.

Seeing that the autumn harvest had passed, Hou Junji only collected a month's worth of military rations, but Hou Junji still set off with an army of 100,000 troops, and it was a big deal that he would be able to feed the enemy at that time.

Hou Junji also had to send it, on the one hand, Li Shimin's side had already given a death order, and Hou Junji himself also understood the situation and knew that this was the last chance to attack Yuanhua.

If Yuanhua is allowed to continue to develop for a year, if Datang wants to capture Yuanhua, it can only depend on Yang Wenhua's thoughts.

And the agreement with Goguryeo cannot be easily abolished, otherwise after this time, it is unknown whether Goguryeo can raise the courage to fight Yuanhua.

After all, Goguryeo is still controlled by the two feuding countries of Baekje Silla, plus the ambiguous Wa Kingdom, the situation in the Northeast is complicated, and it is a headache for Hou Junji to think about it.
