In the study in the backyard of the Hou Ye's Mansion, Xiao Ye was drinking tea and chatting with Fan Zhengshi who had returned, and now that he was his own person, the atmosphere was much milder.

The matter of taxation is now brewing in the official room, Xin Rulin can't get out, Wang Ziliang is also busy dealing with the information gathered from all over the place, and Xiao Ye can still have some free time.

The territory under the jurisdiction of the Hou Ye's Mansion is larger, and the biggest task of the official office and the communication team this year is to measure the boundaries of the land, divide the grasslands and mountains, and prepare for the auction.

The reward given to the sergeants who have made meritorious contributions is also a guarantee for maintaining the strong provincial combat strength of the war barracks. Except for the 80,000 acres of grassland in the Hetao area, which is reserved for Ximen Wangfu, half of the other land will be auctioned.

The rest of the deserts, Gobi, and mountains can't be sold, and the official rooms are cheaper, so Xiao Ye can only keep them to himself.

In the study, Xiao Ye and Fan Zhengshi chatted happily.

The powerful pills that Fan Zhengshi got were reported to the official office when he went, and he didn't care about it, but the amount of ore from Jinnan had increased a lot, which made him quite happy.

In the warehouse of Madao Stone Fort, there are ten more Kunzi stone mills, and the number of fires/guns per month has also increased by two percent, although Xiao Ye is inconvenient to say to outsiders, but the smile on his face can be seen by every guard.

"Brother Fan, I've worked hard for you this time, and Benhou won't forget your credit," Xiao Yele took out a list and handed it to Fan Zhengshi.

"United Qian Zhuang wants a car dealer in the city, Ben Hou takes out three taels of transport vehicles, which are specially responsible for the delivery of people and freight between the small stone forts, and your Fan family can join a share," meritorious service is rewarded, Xiao Ye is not ambiguous, and he can't eat all the benefits in front of him alone.

"Hou Ye Xie," Fan Zhengshi happily put the list into his arms, and sat on the chair respectfully, how to sell those powerful pills, which official landlords he sold them to, he didn't have to show off to Hou Ye, just do things according to the rules.

"Master Hou, there is a message in the subordinate family, and the Xiyi people want to contact Hou Ye for some business, you see?" Fan Zhengshi remembered his father's letter and said carefully.

"Well, it just so happens that Wang Gui has a batch of powerful pills and a small amount of detoxification pills there, but you can wholesale them to you, and who you sell them to is not selling," Xiao Ye chuckled, "But as long as your Fan family can sell it, other families are not allowed to interfere,"

Powerful Dan flowed into the mainland, and even outflowed out of the territory, Xiao Ye could think of the consequences, but the night of rest in Shiguantun made him accept the baptism of nightmares again, and his heart hardened a lot.

Even if he wanted to go back to the old days of guarding a stone fort, the merchant government in Gansu Town would not let him go, and his subordinates had so many mouths to eat and food, and there was no way to retreat.

Speaking of trading, after a long time, there will naturally be more friends, with the friendship brought by the elixir, a good man and three gangs, he will let the light of kindness in his hands spread to every corner of the map, so that the Simon family will flourish without being bullied; According to the hint in the dream, in this vast land within the sight of the Han people, it is better for Waiyi not to exist.

If he didn't follow the warning in the dream, Xiao Ye was very worried about the processing center, and if he ignored himself, it would be a big deal.

Things have to be done one step at a time, take your time.

The huge profits from the exclusive sale of pills, although they didn't get it on the table, Fan Zhengshi had already tasted the benefits, and after getting the promise of Hou Ye, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground with joy, "My subordinates swear allegiance to Hou Ye,"

"Hehe, get up, sit down and talk," After receiving this worship, Xiao Ye's mood became more comfortable.

"Right now, you need to go on a long journey, oh, the Jin family, the Liang family, and the Zhai family will send someone to assist you," Xiao Ye's eyes gradually faded into indifference, "You prepare, take the powerful pill, go to the Beishan Jurchen Department, the Xishan Jurchen Department, Ben Hou will set up five Jurchen war camps there, and give you two years,"

"In two years, the Jurchen war camp will expand its power to the northern region, until it expands to the extreme north, and it will be captured for itself. All the Bai Yi who lived there were taken captive as slaves, and those who were naturalized could form slave barracks,"

"It won't be long before hundreds of small stone forts will be built there, and too much baiyi will be of great use there,"

Sooner or later, the matter of the pill will be known to the world, so the raw materials of the pill will become a big problem, and Xiao Ye has great hopes for the peripheral war barracks represented by Ximen Wangfu.

Fan Zhengshi, who could feel the ambition in Hou Ye's words, nodded as a matter of course.

Footsteps came, and a guard came in with a food box, put a large bowl on the tea machine, and removed the bamboo lid on it, revealing a few golden things, which looked as hot as if they had just come out of the pot.

"Come, let's try it, this is a new good thing, Hu Shibiao will be able to plant two acres of land this year," greeted Fan Zhengshi, and the two took some hot steamed sweet potatoes and ate them in small bites.

After eating it twice, Xiao Ye already liked this sweet and sticky sweet potato, and it was okay to eat it raw.

This thing grows underground, and it looks like the size of a melon, Hu Shibiao named it a sweet potato, and Xiao Ye didn't care, just surprised by the yield of this sweet potato, there are so many in the barren land, and the land is more fertile, let alone difficult to say.

If the stems are sent down for the military households to plant, they will have to wait until next year to try it, but it will be delicious and full.

The next day, in addition to the official room, there was also a sign of the foreign affairs room under the Hou Ye's house, and it was Fan Zhengshi who was in charge, and he directly reported to the Hou Ye; Wang Deyu and Zhang Daowu were assigned to the foreign affairs office.

The account room, the official room, the foreign affairs room, the military law room, as well as the communication team, the eight major war barracks, a guard battalion, and "four rooms, one team and nine battalions," operated in an orderly manner under the Hou Ye's mansion, which became the foundation that supported Xiao Ye's foothold on the grassland.

In April, the steppe was again a green scene, but Ximen Wangfu, who had stayed in the city of Alimathu, sent a messenger to Gancheng in Kokand, asking the Kazakh cavalry to enter the city to search and rescue, on the pretext that a small squad of cavalry had been lost.

Of course, this unreasonable demand was decisively refused, and the Mongol army stationed near Atami was about to go on another expedition.

Under the leadership of the Kazakh war battalion, the Mongolian cavalry divided into two routes, with 2,000 fire/spearmen and a small number of heavy machine guns, actually captured the Gancheng and Dashi Gancheng in the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River with a vigorous force.

The villages outside the city were looted by the Kazakh cavalry and the Mongol cavalry, and the two century-old cities were also burned to ruins.

All the way west from Ximen Stone Fort, fourteen Kunzi stone mills that were secretly sold have been quickly installed in place by the buyer, but fortunately, now that the temperature is rising, a few tents can be set up to start the stone mill; Whether it is a large or small merchant or an old craftsman who has retired from the logistics team, the huge energy that erupts from their bodies is even Xiao Ye's surprise.

Money and silk are moving, and the energy continues to produce stone mills of yellow plaster, and no one wants to be idle for one more day. In particular, the stone castles built in various places ensured the sales of yellow plaster, and finally there was the support of the Hou Yefu.

Zuo Shi led a team of 100 people from the guard battalion, and he had already escorted the "little black house" into Alimatu City, where he would accept all the prisoners, cattle and sheep sent by Ximen Wangfu and sign for them according to the number.

The rapid fall of my Gancheng and Dashigancheng shocked the Kokand royal court, but this Mongolian iron cavalry was so powerful that his small kingdom could not resist it, so he united the two kingdoms of Samarkand and Bukhara, and raised 50,000 troops together to try to resist the invasion of the Mongols and Kazakh cavalry.

The three small kingdoms joined forces, and the possession of a 10,000-elephant army was a headache for Ximen Wangfu, and after several battles, the Mongol army and the Kazakh cavalry stopped in the area north of Gancheng.

Wang Deyu, who was riding in the rat-shaped chariot, was sent in time, as an envoy to the Hou Ye's mansion, accompanied by the civil officials of the royal court of Barithai, he paid a friendly visit to the two cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, and brought extremely precious gifts, two small boxes of vanity mirrors.

Under the banner of peace talks, the two sides held several negotiations, and Wang Deyu's concession won the understanding of the king of Kokand, and then the matter of trade was discussed.

With Wang Deyu's powerful pill, the three kingdoms soon became the peripheral forces under Hou Yefu, and the three newly formed war battalions of Kokand, Samarkand, and Bukhara joined Ximen Wangfu's army.

The three small kingdoms of Kokand, Samarkand, and Bukhara were originally attached to the Mughal Empire, but now they suddenly rebelled, which naturally caused the anger of the old lord's family, and under the strong influence of Simon Wangfu, a major war was inevitable.

In July, Xue Zilong led five elephant chariots, plus Hao Yongliang's artillery team, and cooperated with Ximen Wangfu's army in the upper reaches of the Amu River, and fought a major battle against the 100,000 troops of the Mughal Empire.

The machine guns spitting long flames, the flowering bullets that smashed down the head, and the chariots that shuttled back and forth overhead, made the heavy army group of the Mughal Empire, which had 20,000 elephant troops, 30,000 cavalry, and 50,000 spear infantry, almost all of the elite who were killed and wounded become prisoners of Ximen Wangfu.

The Mughal Empire suffered a crushing defeat, and the captives were taken to the city of Alimathu.

The capital of the Mughal Empire, which was based on thirteen major tribes, welcomed the Mongol peace emissaries at the end of a hot August.

With the support of Xiao Ye's large supply of firearms and a steady stream of powerful pills, the snowballing Ximen Wangfu Legion turned its head and pounced on the Yarkand State, and under the coordination of Wang Deyu, it fought and pulled another Yarkand war barracks.

Wang Deyu, who was full of tongues, took out all kinds of Persian goods everywhere he went, truly showing people the noble life of Ximen Stone Fort, and guiding countless people of all ethnic groups with dreams to go thousands of miles to the beautiful prairie.

Oh, the left stone of the city of Alimathu, waiting for them enthusiastically.

Even if they don't come, the small stone fort will follow the guidance of the prospecting team and extend all the way, and the tribes that are not part of the war barracks will gradually disappear.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year in 1516, a large-scale chariot drill was held outside the Ximen Stone Fort, and Xiao Ye said that the military parade.

Twenty rat-shaped chariots suspended one foot above the ground, twenty elephant chariots suspended in the air, and ten canard chariots suspended one foot in the air, roared past the crowd, followed by fifty huge transport vehicles, which drove mightily in front of the military households and merchants.

Under the escort of 2,000 cavalrymen, the logistics team's thousands of rutted carts slowly moved slowly in the direction of the chariot's departure, and rushed towards Beshbali City.

Xiao Ye, who was standing on the fortress wall, wearing a military uniform with a big shoulder on his shoulders and a horse/knife on his waist, looked at the convoy passing in front of him, and gently shook his hand, and the henchmen and family members around him were all full of shock in their eyes, and their shouts rang out.

"Go, Simon Wangfu is waiting for you, westward, westward, all the way to the great sea,"

"As long as there is land to be conquered, then Ximen Wangfu can enjoy the gold and silver seas, and when the mission of the outer war camp is over, he should also enter the urn," he read silently in his heart, Xiao Ye watched this convoy carrying five hundred guards and an artillery team gradually disappear into the white grassland.

These guards, who will hardly come back alive, will become a sharp sword to expand the territory, and the shrewd people who do not submit to the powerful pill will be the targets of the guards.

This is the first wave, and there will be a second and third wave of guards, and they are all good.

Don't let me down, on the map in the study, there can only be the Han nation, and the other nationalities will either become the sharp knife of Benhou or become the devotees of the elixir, I am looking forward to it; Raising his head and looking at the scattered snowflakes in the sky, Ximen Xiao Ye smiled, smiling very solemnly.

(Here, here, I hope that Simon Xiaoye's dream can come true one day.) ）
