Chapter 58: Yang Yan's Forces

At night, in addition to the night guards on the streets of Luoyang, it is the city guards who parade on the streets, except for the pass order, only Yang Yan can walk around at will at will in the entire Great Sui. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At around eight o'clock in the night, Yang Yan left the Qin Wangfu with twenty guards and Wu Yong, the commander of the personal guards, and walked towards Qin Wangzhuang in the eastern suburbs.

It is a place that Yang Yan has worked hard to manage, on the surface it is a large farm, in addition to farming, it is breeding, but the 3,000 people who help him farm here have an extraordinary background.

These 3,000 people, all from the army, from Zuo Yiwei and the frontier guards, are also the last line of defense left by Yang Yan to the Great Sui.

Any place in the world can be chaotic and can be captured, but Luoyang can't. Here is a collection of grain from all over the world, and the stored grain in the Tang Dynasty has been used for a long time.

Food is the foundation of ancient times, especially in troubled times, food is equal to soldiers.

How history will develop, Yang Yan is becoming more and more uncertain. In order to ensure that he can finally hold Luoyang, he will prepare early.

Not only that, but he also kept asking Wu Yong to go to Zuo Yi's camp to pick up troops, and asked him to lead the troops to suppress bandits in various places. There are often a large number of casualties in the process of suppressing the bandits, of course, they are not really 'dead', but only nominally dead, and are placed in the grange that he secretly controls.

In the past four years, a total of 3,000 people have gathered, and a few henchmen of the Qin Wangfu don't know how much thought has been spent.

Li Jing also used the power of the Li family, and did the same in the frontier, and also attracted many elites in the army.

Now Qinwangzhuang is like a small city, and walls have been built around Wangzhuang, which is next to the city that never sleeps.

On the bright side, Yang Yan holds three thousand Qin Tiger Guards, one thousand palace guards, and the number of the three thousand palaces is the Chinese Army Child Soldiers, plus these six thousand Great Sui elites, this is all Yang Yan's strength in Luoyang, and it is also the maximum power he can use now.

With more than 10,000 people, with the original defenders of Luoyang, it will not be so easy for Li Yuan to capture it in the future.

In order to feed more than 10,000 people, Yang Yan can be said to have spent a lot of thought, especially the more than 3,000 people who are hidden, almost relying on the hidden accounts of the city that never sleeps.

Entering Wangzhuang, you can see teenage Chinese army guards everywhere. This is a thousand people from the Chinese army of the Qin Palace, which Yang Yan transferred from the Qin Palace, and the United States is called the same name to protect Yang Yan's treasure house.

From the very beginning, Yang Yan set up the grain depot and silver depot of the Qin Palace's palace in Wangzhuang, just to facilitate the garrison here.

Yang Guang may not be at ease when the Chinese army is in the city, but if he wants to move all of them to Wangzhuang, he will have much more peace of mind.

Regardless of whether Yang Yan's subordinates were a group of orphans with no combat effectiveness, it was very likely that such a large number of people would succeed if they stormed the palace.

In addition to Yang Yan's age, Yang Guang's wariness of him has become more and more obvious. Although he stayed behind this time, the mobilization of troops and horses required three auxiliary ministers to show the tiger talisman at the same time. It can be seen that Yang Guang has begun to have reservations about Yang Yan.

But this can't be blamed on Yang Guang, after all, the royal family has always been suspicious. Moreover, Yang Guang is leading the army outside, if Yang Yan takes advantage of the situation, he will come to the imperial robe and occupy the palace to give orders. Even if Yang Guang was able to destroy Yang Yan in the end, he couldn't bear such a thing to happen.

Yang Guangtian also knew a little about the situation in Wang Zhuang, and was also very surprised that Yang Yan's income was more than thirty times higher than that of a manor of the same size as him. Now the cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and fish produced in Wangzhuang are all supplied to the restaurants of the Qin Wangfu and the city that never sleeps.

And the leftovers from the Qin Wangfu and the food shop in the city that never sleeps were all transported to Wangzhuang to be used as food for the six animals. Especially pork, now the entire Luoyang City has begun to slowly become popular. It is mainly due to the fact that Yang Yan's breeding methods and cooking techniques are open to the people.

After Yang Guang paid it once, he asked Yang Yan to provide five pigs to the palace every day, and he had meat every day.

In addition, every month, a batch of cattle and sheep from Zhangye will rush to Luoyang to provide a steady stream of meat for the royal family and the army.

I have to say that Yang Guang is more and more satisfied with Yang Yan's suggestion of recommending Fang Xuanying, because the six animals transported by Cedan Animal Husbandry are of good quality and very large, accounting for more than half of the entire Dasui Ranch.

Now the entire Great Sui has 130,000 war horses, and seventy percent of them are produced by the Cedan Horse Farm. If this continues, ten years later, it is very likely that the Great Sui will equip every soldier with a war horse.

In fact, originally Chai Dan couldn't produce so many horses at once, but he couldn't withstand the money offensive that Yang Yan asked Fang Xuanying to implement, and he issued an official notice in Zhangye that as long as he caught a wild horse, he could get a high reward.

Now Zhangye brings together a large number of rangers, horse thieves, and alien warriors from all over the world, who make a living by catching horses and often go in and out of the grasslands. For the sake of money, these people are willing to take great risks, and even Turkic, Wei and other places can often see the traces of these people.

The money that was thrown out was almost exchanged for the six animals produced by Yang Yan's private horse farm. It can be said that Yang Yan used his own money for the war horse of the Great Sui.

Yang Guang is also very clear about this, but he didn't say anything, not even praise.

In the past two years, Yang Guang has a very deep understanding of Yang Yan's terrifying ability to make money. Originally, Zhangye was a place where the traveling merchants of the Western Regions plundered the money of the Great Sui, but now this situation has been reversed by Yang Yan.

Zhangye's sleepless city gathered a large number of wealthy people from all over the Western Regions, some of them were royalty, some were wealthy merchants, they seemed to linger, and they sent cartloads of silver into the Zhangye Sleepless City built by Yang Yan to indulge in it, in exchange for some of the silk and tea, but they continued to flow silver into the Great Sui.

Yang Yan doesn't like silverware and gold, but likes silver dollars and gold coins, and Yang Yan likes the hard currency more than those handicrafts.

There are few silver mines in the Central Plains, and the quality is not as good as that of the countries in the Western Regions. The Great Sui used copper coins as the basic currency, but Yang Yan knew that gold and silver should be used as the monetary base, and then implemented paper money.

But this needs to be done step by step, after all, the step is too big and it is easy to pull the egg. And Yang Yan doesn't have that much power in his hands.

Thinking of today's Zhangye, Yang Yan feels full of pride. After two years of development, Zhangye's population has grown explosively. Not only from counties across the country, but also from the new population.

Because the eldest grandson Sheng was instructed by Yang Yan, he issued a decree in Zhangye, but from the third baby in the family, every baby born will be rewarded for both men and women, and a monthly subsidy of a bucket of grain.

Now the population of Zhangye has reached nearly 600,000, which is an increase compared to the original, and it is still increasing.

Three years of exemption from forced labor and taxes, Zhangye's finances would probably be in deficit if there was no existence of the city that never sleeps. Even so, relying on the support of the city that never sleeps, it can only maintain normalcy.

But Changsun Sheng felt that these flowers were not distressed at all, he could foresee that Zhang Ye would usher in a large amount of income after these three years, and then he would not need to rely on the sleepless city to survive the day, and he could also provide Yang Yan with a large number of soldiers.

Nowadays, which Zhangye people don't applaud when they mention Yang Yan, and every family has set up immortal cards for Yang Yan and Changsun Sheng, always thinking about the goodness of these two people. won the hearts of the people so much, Changsun Sheng not only lived up to Yang Yan's trust, but also did it extremely perfectly.
