Huaibei, Xuzhou City, as the weather gradually warms up, and more and more sunny days shine in the garden of the back house, all kinds of colorful bedding and clothes that are taken out to dry have also become a certain scenery in the corner of the huge garden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But the most eye-catching thing is the dozen or so large boxes, along with the contents of which sparkle in the sunlight.

"Zhang Bangchang is here to give gifts again. It's three big ships."

I smiled at the enigmatic creature

"In addition to gold and silver treasures and relatively rare pieces of everything, there are dozens of young and beautiful women."

"Why is it a woman every time, this is the first batch."

She couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.

"Don't overestimate the vision and limitations of these ancient people,"

I couldn't help but laugh.

"As usual, these women are under your hands to be dealt with and disciplined."

"Just find something to do for your women."

"If there are any shadows or ambushes in it, they will also be discovered and cleared up at the same time."

"Zhang Bangchang came to the door this time, wanting to reach a peace agreement of at least three years?。。"

She continued to ask as she looked at the report

"Why not."

I continued to speak to her.

"But since this is what he asked me for,"

"Then it's going to cost them as much as possible."

"If you send something to your door, maybe you can solve some of the military expenses."

At this point, I paused and said to her.

"Do you have any ideas or things you want?"

"Boat."

The enigmatic creature pondered for a moment and replied.

"Isn't there still half a Yellow River sailor in this Zhang Bangchang's place?"

"Master Shui, this is a bit of a good fortune that is hard to give up."

I shook my head.

"Of course not the sailor himself."

The enigmatic creature didn't care.

"It's the riverboats and their manpower that are under the control of the Yellow River Marines upstream."

"I believe that the other party is still willing to expand on this."

"What do you mean?。。 I get it, so let's do it. ”

I was surprised for a moment and nodded.

"The other party actually dared to make such a suggestion."

I laughed right after.

"This is not also an indirect proof that my Huaizhen's reputation with the outside world has always been very good."

"Basically, there are no things or examples of betrayal."

"That's because it didn't give you a chance, or maybe it didn't cost you enough to tempt you."

The enigmatic creature gave me a blank look again.

"The southern side of the urgent delivery, the imperial court has recently issued an edict,"

Then she pulled out another one

"Let the Huainan, Jingbei, Shan(south)east, Shan(south)west, Henan, Jianchuan, and Guannai provinces north of the Great River gradually restore the Tugong system,"

"Huaibei Province is not exempt from this list, and there are 27 kinds of alum, mercury, honey ginger, lotus root, iron essence, empty green, white mang, rabbit silk, snake millet, ginger powder, shark leather, rattan paper, dansha, cloth, silk cloth, etc."

"Because we are in charge of the land of Yizhou and Huainan, part of the tribute of Yizhou and Huainan has to be paid in the name of Huaizhen."

Saying this, she habitually brushed her sideburns.

However, the court also pursued the favor and said that those who are not in good condition can still use the loss of gold as a tribute; The price should be as if it were a city register. ”

"Isn't this encouraging the garrisons of the provinces and towns in the north to step up the collection of places to meet the needs of the inner government?"

"This is a wind exploration and water test, although in the name of Shaofu."

"It's the commanders of the garrisons in the towns of the Northland who are being tested whether they can still order the forbidden conspiracy methods."

"In addition, the number of these tributes is not large in itself, and it is more symbolic in terms of specific value;"

"But because they are all local characteristic outputs, it can be said that it is quite disturbing to the people,"

"Only during the peaceful and prosperous period of the previous dynasty can it be shipped and handed over in full."

"So, in essence, it's still up to the military horses of the towns along the north to find a way to get money from the local government to supply the shogunate."

"Do I have something on my face?"

The enigmatic creature abruptly stopped analyzing.

"What kind of eyes are you?"

"Of course, I am sincerely glad and sighing that I have the eyes of you."

I couldn't help but blurt out.

"Your focused and wise (Lori) appearance is also a wonderful scenery."

"Don't come to this set, meaty stuff."

She pursed her lips and gave me a disdainful look

"If you want to be in heat anytime or anywhere, find your women."

"That's not going to work, before and after."

I'm a serious one.

"We still have to maintain a loving daily image."

"Otherwise, who knows when and where, bad news and negative effects will come out."

"It also has an impact on our business and the prestige of our family."

With that, I pouted at the little maids who stood in the distance to probe their brains.

"As far as your excuses and reasons are so much. What about it?"

She snorted reluctantly, but sat down on my side and leaned her head down.

"Okay, don't poke me with that thing."

"I can't do any other small movements."

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In several emerging suburbs outside Xuzhou, it is also a scene of busy traffic and people.

Every day, thousands of stones are loaded and unloaded or shipped here along with the land and water, and although the weather is still bitterly cold, it is completely impossible to stop people from coming out to seek livelihood and compete with merchants for profit.

Because it is already the only region in the north that has sufficient production and population, and has the corresponding scale of economic circulation and commercial needs, and can ensure sufficient stability.

With the gradual restoration and repair of the Caoqu River network in Huaibei, the convergence and connection of official roads and horse-drawn tracks on various roads, the ancient city of Xuzhou, as the key point between the north and the south, has finally returned from the devastated post-war ruins to part of its true colors and functions as a land and water hub and commercial port.

On the one hand, it is also the only window and springboard that can enter the interior of the Northlands; Especially compared to other military towns in the Northland, the territory is plagued by withering depression or road instability one after another.

On the other hand, it is because, compared with other areas that have been squeezed out by the supply and marketing system of Huaizhen and have no advantages and opportunities, at least in Xuzhou, there are still conditions and restrictions that allow foreign merchants to buy land and buy real estate and continue to operate for a long time.

As a result, it also created a local prosperity of this new office.

Of course, it is relatively easy to work here to get a career in the business of external forces, but if you want to obtain the right to operate further in the corresponding field and industry, you need the corresponding review and inspection period. For example, good accounts and tax payment records within several years, credit and reputation and other factors.

Moreover, when the economic circulation is large enough to a certain extent, it is enough to cover up the bulk flow and changes in some fields with a prosperous market. For example, in the name of assault training and spring synthesis training, some of the troops stationed in various states were mobilized in batches in Yizhou, resulting in local supply crunches and shortages in some areas.

Of course, this aspect of things can't be hidden for a long time, and it will still be discovered by those who are interested; But as long as the expected suddenness is achieved within the limited time limit.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

And in Haicang Town, in Laizhou Bay,

In the cold tide and cold wind, Liu Qi, who still insisted on training the sweaty naval commander and general of Laizhou Shuiying Town, was also inspecting his newly recruited soldiers.

After all, before, Yu turned to the sea to attack Pinglu Road, and went deep into the interior of Youju to break diplomatic relations, coupled with the raids and deterrence operations along the coast of Silla; Several battalions of sailors under his command have made many achievements in depth, and they are not without damage.

However, due to the relative limitations and priorities of various resources and manpower, it was not until the end of this winter that he was able to successively complete the establishment and equipment under his command;

Then, a new batch of additional resources was obtained, including several ship guns equipped with the replacement of the water distribution division, and the armed ships that could be used to transport troops and baggage, as well as provide some fire projection support.

There are also these supplementary recruits from the coastal province of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, the coastal province of the Jiaodong Peninsula, who were born from fishermen and salt workers; All of them were dark and rough in the wind and sun, and their hands and feet were stubby and powerful, and they had a corresponding water nature and experience in sailing; Standing there in groups also looks like they have a tenacious or fierce bearing.

It's just that as new soldiers of the Marine Corps, they can still see a little more in simple queue conduct; There is really a lot to relearn and a long way to go.

And the need for these additions and expansions also implies a fact.

After a winter of hibernation, they finally had something to do; It is not in vain that he chose the direction of development of this alternative path, and devoted himself to the daily operation and construction of the Marine Corps.

He thought about it a lot, and the places where he could put his sailors to great use were not too much; After getting rid of the Silla Domain, which had been pacified, I don't know if it was the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate or Pyeongrook-do.

It's just that according to his current level and rank, it is still unknown for the time being. (To be continued.) )
