Of course, Yang Lin is completely wrong about Feng An's meaning, this year, the elders will generally take the school exam when they see the juniors, and Feng Zhidai bragged in front of Feng Ang all day long about how good Yanglin Yang Tianzhi is, so that Feng An, who has long heard the name of Yang Lin, does not know how much curiosity he has accumulated in his heart, but he doesn't want to just ask a simple question, but Yang Lin's answer is much more atmospheric than the answer he thought in his heart.

In his opinion, the situation of rebellion and surrender in the southern Xinjiang is very difficult to solve, they have become a blood-sucking leech on the back of the Central Plains since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, it is difficult to subdue, and it is difficult to kill, the imperial court uses troops in southern Xinjiang, he believes that the best strategy is to slaughter and enslave the mainstay, kill all the rebels, take the obedient people away from this land, and let them go to the Central Plains to make cattle and horses for the Han people, although the means are cruel, but it is also a good strategy that people in this period can come up with.

"If this statement of the Heavenly Horse is the strategy of the imperial court, I am afraid that the imperial court's southern expedition will be protracted, I wonder if the imperial court can withstand such a big battle when it has suffered many disasters?" Feng Ang was stunned, but there was a smile on his face, and he asked in a different tone of concern.

"Hehe, at this time, at that time, the war in the north and the border passes, although the scale is tens of thousands, but the consumption of materials and food on the supply line is quite large, a soldier, almost two auxiliaries and three or four cattle and horses to support, is that whenever there is a war, the consumption of money and food is huge, resulting in the same number of people, they can eat enough in their spare time, but there is no food to eat in wartime.

But the south is different, the imperial court now has big ships, the shipyard in Chang'an has 100,000 craftsmen, every month can build more than a dozen large ships of more than 500 tons, since the official start of the plant, more than 100 such ships have been launched, this time His Majesty Xià came south, even the army of more than 80,000 soldiers and auxiliaries will all take the boat by water, of course. The 50,000 auxiliaries were not used to circulate supplies during wartime, they were all equipped with sophisticated tools, and were responsible for repairing and widening the canals and improving the water transportation roads. There is a famous big stone on the Yangtze River that blocks the road 'I come' must have heard of it, some time ago it was sent by Zhang Dudu to blow up with gunpowder, the Yangtze River waterway and the Yellow River waterway are now basically unimpeded, and the Jinghang Grand Canal is a sluice gate established at the mouth of the Yellow River in the Bianzhou section, which can maintain the canal's year-round traffic capacity. All the supplies from all sides were transported by water and sea to the coastal areas of Lingnan, and not only did not have a large number of livestock to be fed. Even the manpower has been saved by half, and the speed and efficiency have been greatly improved, so although the number of the southern expeditionary army is huge, it can be consumed, but it is not as good as a small-scale battle in the north.

In addition, Guanzhong has been able to regain self-sufficiency in grain and rice this year, and after planting high-yield corn and sweet potatoes, the amount of rice and white flour needed will be greatly reduced, and there should be a surplus. The food and salary supply of the imperial court would be levied from the nearest place in the south of the Yangtze River, and if the steamers operated day and night, it would only take one or twenty days from the south of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River. Wait for these auxiliaries to complete the task of dredging the waterways. In addition to transporting all the grain in place at one time, a large part of the rest of the time was spent in the war zone responsible for building roads and opening rivers, whether by land or water. The imperial court must build the entire southern Xinjiang in all directions, so that the land of southern Xinjiang can become another backyard garden of the Tang Dynasty in addition to the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Yang Lin said it easily, but Feng Ang was shocked. When did the imperial court, which was thousands of miles away, get so close to Lingnan, and if the water and land transportation in Lingnan also became more accessible, what would the situation become? Does he, the chief of Lingnan, still count? Feng Ang didn't dare to think deeply, the more he thought about it, the more he felt how correct his own decision was, if the Feng family wanted to favor Lingnan, they must completely surrender to the imperial court, this is the general trend.

"Hehe, it turns out that the imperial court is so well prepared, it seems that our chances of winning this battle are much greater." Feng Ang smiled, the generals of the Lingnan Department in the military tent naturally followed Lehe, to be honest, Yang Lin didn't like this scene very much, if the Feng family wanted to have a good end, the only way was to abstain, after the battle in Southern Xinjiang, abandon all of Lingnan, return to Chang'an with Li Er, and live the life of a rich son with no power and powerless, Feng Zhidai in history did this after Feng An's death, and now that Li Er arrived in Lingnan in advance, I don't know if his son Feng Ang has such courage.

The atmosphere of the banquet is quite pleasant, mainly because Yanglin brought some new goods from the top ten factories to Feng Ang and the generals of the Lingnan Department as gifts, as the magnates of Lingnan, they liked these new things from the beginning, and they couldn't leave their hands, and now they looked at Huainan Jun with some resentment in their eyes, in the words of Wang Chengyin, who was drunk, they were like those male prostitutes who were prostituted chrysanthemums but did not receive prostitution.

After the banquet was dispersed, Feng Zhidai took advantage of the strength of the wine to turn Yang Lin's neck to the back tent, I don't know when to drink the most at the banquet, the drunkest Feng Ang has already freshened up in the back tent, changed into casual clothes, for Feng An's martial arts, Yang Lin is very admired, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he should be with Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Yu Chigong is a level, although it is not as good as the scorpion's personal competitive martial arts tricks, but the power on the battlefield is greater, so his casual clothes are a samurai robe, It looks more like the kimono of later Japan.

When he came to this kind of occasion, Yang Lin knew that the Feng family's father and son were going to talk to him about business, the so-called business was naturally the Feng family's own way out, as the prince with the most heirs of the Tang Dynasty, Feng An's pressure was still quite great, Zhang Liang, the governor of the navy, had five hundred fake sons, all of them were fake, and there were only three biological ones, once those godsons received too much, they would be no different from the retainers, even so, Li Er was actually a little uneasy, but Zhang Liang was always a die-hard loyalist, and he was embarrassed to mention it. But Feng Ang has more than 100 children, including more than 30 sons, and he doesn't know how he fired this cannon, and the hit rate can be so high.

Feng Ang can ignore the life and death of this bloodline, and send his eldest son Feng Zhidai to Chang'an to be loyal to Li Erbiao, but he can't ignore his many heirs, in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an, the second son and the concubine are not very valued, but Lingnan is different, the eldest son is the big chief, then the second son must be the second chief, the third son will be the third chief, regardless of the concubine, there will be his own territory and population, but relatively few, now if the Feng family's power is uprooted in Lingnan, I am afraid it is unrealistic, The tentacles of this big family have long stretched out to all the lands in Lingnan, and they are looking for Yanglin to come over to ask questions.

"Master Horse, I'm offended." Feng Zhidai arched his hand to Yanglin and stepped aside, in fact, the army of the imperial court could not arrive in Lingnan in a day or two, Feng Ang didn't need to be in such a hurry to ask for a meeting, and the way was so bad, but Feng Ang was concerned about chaos, if such a problem was not solved for a day, he would not sleep well for a day, for the future of how to go, Feng Ang was more entangled than Li Er when he first ascended the throne, perhaps the reason for the fear of the strange place in Chang'an, as the Lingnan chief who did not have much intersection with Chang'an officials, He was worried that he would have no place to stand in Chang'an, so he wanted to talk to Yang Lin openly and honestly.

"God bestows the horse, the old man also respects you as a horse master, this time I take the liberty to ask, I really have a question I want to ask you, the horse master is naturally smart, astute, please answer for the old man." Feng Ang bowed his hand, woke up all the little smell of wine on Yang Lin's body, hurriedly avoided it sideways, and returned the salute, not to mention that his relationship with Feng Zhidai was good, and it could be solved with his mouth, Yang Lin didn't dare to let a prince of the country salute him.

Lingnan Gong is polite, I am like a brother with Zhi Dai, why do you need to be so polite, if you have something to say, just say it directly, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help. Feng Ang put on this posture, and Yang Lin had already expected seven or eight points in his heart, and he would take care of everything.

Feng Ang didn't beat around the bush, and asked bluntly: "Dare to ask Master Ma, after the imperial army's army recovers southern Xinjiang, how will my Lingnan chieftains deal with themselves?" ”

"Open the road to trade, the shape is very good, why does the grandfather have this question?" Yang Lin didn't even want to answer.

"Oh, what's so good?" Feng An's eyes lit up and he continued to ask.

"Lingnan good fruit, the first in the world, the lychee trees and banana forests all over the mountains are the wealth of Lingnan, as well as the sweet sugarcane and refreshing pineapple, which are all good things for sugar production, do you know what price sugar sells in Chang'an? A pound of yellow and non-garbage with impurities of thick sugar can be exchanged for 500 copper coins, that is, half a pound, if it is a food factory made of white sugar, milk candy with milk, it can be sold for one or two pounds of money, is only the rich and noble can enjoy, you say, if you are a businessman, how much wealth should be waiting for you to collect? Yang Lin preached very seductively.

Feng Ang frowned when he heard this, and looked at Xiang Yanglin with some puzzlement, while Feng Zhidai, who retreated to the corner, had a smile on his face, and hurriedly covered half of his face with his hand, letting a prince of the country be a lowly businessman, and only the heavenly concubine from the capital said that Feng Ang could not help but not beat people, which was going to be laughed to death by those scholars.

"Business? If you do such a cheap business, you are willing to let our Feng family go? Feng Ang asked after holding back for a long time.

"How can business be a cheap business? Of course, Majesty occupies the majority, then he is the biggest businessman in the world, when His Majesty is a businessman, who dares to say that business is a cheap business? Moreover, Datang has now established the seventh department in addition to the sixth, the Ministry of Commerce, Shangshu is the original household department of Shangshu Sun Wuji, even the emperor and queen family are involved in business management, and business has brought benefits to the whole Datang, who dares to say that business is cheap? There are impeachment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are impeachment of military attachés who kill innocents, but there is no impeachment of the official who makes a profit in business, because it is business that will save Datang from the most critical moment, so that this new country is full of vigor and vitality, everyone enjoys the benefits of business, and only by invigorating the economy can the country prosper, so everyone unconsciously began to worship business from cheap businessmen.
