As soon as the imminent crisis ended, Yang Hao fell ill unexpectedly, he was dizzy and dizzy, and he couldn't get out of bed for several days.

The defeat on the battlefield cost the Khitans a heavy price, the sixteen tribes that were originally annexed by them regained their freedom, fourteen of them moved closer to Fengzhou, eight of them were willing to form a military alliance with Fengzhou, Yang Hao did not agree, these small tribes are very weak, and extremely aggressive, Yang Hao did not want to be dragged down by them, but he promised to trade with these small tribes and send representatives to each other, to establish a relatively stable bilateral relationship,

The Khitans compensated Fengzhou with 1,980,000 taels of silver, of which 400,000 taels were used as pensions for the soldiers killed in the Xining Army, the Vulture Tribe, and the Manhei Tribe; Seven hundred and eighty thousand taels is used to ransom their captives, one hundred taels of silver per captive, the captives are allowed to take away their armor and knives and guns when they leave, but bows and arrows must be left, the Khitans lack the materials to make arrows, the ability to produce arrows is very limited, and it is necessary to control the number of arrows they have.

The city was divided into ashes in this war, the Khitans compensated 800,000 taels of silver for reconstruction, the new city became a stone city, the city walls and fortresses built of huge stones, the flat-roofed stone houses, the streets paved with stone slabs, and the criss-crossing tunnels under the ground, the chief designer of the city, is the blue-eyed and yellow-haired Gruss, the strict city defense facilities have revitalized the confidence of the merchants in this trade route, and the reconstruction of the city is advancing rapidly,

The Khitans are still in the era of barter, gold and silver are not the currency in circulation, but this does not mean that the Khitans do not have gold and silver, on the contrary, the Khitans have a lot of gold ingots and silver nuggets in their hands, most of which are obtained by them plundering the border towns of the Tang Dynasty and other tribes, and the war between the two sides will finally end on the day of the delivery of 1.9 million taels of silver.

Seven thousand eight hundred Khitan captives left the Tiande army and returned to their hometowns, including their commander Yelu Tira and the seriously ill Yelu Guluo, one of the captured Khitans insisted on refusing to go back, his name was Yelu Yun Deshi, he was only twelve years old at this time, he asked to study in Fengzhou Wubei School, his inspiration came from the Weiyuan Battalion Thousand Commanders who took care of him, the Thousand Commanders had studied in the Wubei School for three months, and from his mouth Yelu Yun Deshi had a strong interest in the Wubei School,

Yang Hao, who was on the sickbed, heard the news, and hurriedly asked Zhang Lang, who was limping, to tell Zhang Bozhong: Agree to Yelu Yundeshi's request, and try to attract more outstanding Khitan nobles to study in Fengzhou, although many people do not understand the true intention of Yang Hao's move, and their hearts are full of doubts, but Zhang Bozhong still carried out Yang Hao's instructions to the letter, the most important thing to eliminate the enemy is to eliminate the hatred in the enemy's heart, and the second is to eliminate him from the **, Cultivating a pro-Tang class among the Khitan nobles is far more exciting than killing 10,000 enemies on the battlefield.

In addition to giving the Khitans the necessary punishments, Yang Hao also made certain concessions, such as opening up border trade, allowing border merchants to sell goods from the Han land to the Khitan, but for iron, salt and some materials used to make weapons, Yang Hao was still cautious to restrict, the Khitans sent a delegation to Feng'an, Yang Hao also sent a delegation to the Khitan, the head of the delegation is Yao Guang, because of violating the military order Yao Guang has been dismissed from his military position, at this moment his identity is the head of the Khitan branch of the Zuo Mansion,

At the beginning of April, stationed in the Xinzhou Broken Prison Camp, two soldiers got drunk from the camp, fought with people on the street, and were sent to the county government by the people, and the county ordered the Taiyuan high-level to instruct the two to be sentenced to serious crimes, and paraded in the streets, and some people secretly instigated the people to attack the Xining Army garrison barracks,

Yang Hao was going all out to deal with the Khitan that day, no time to look south, only strictly ordered the garrison not to waste, the garrison did not move, but the intelligence room was not idle, they attacked the Xinzhou prison at night, rescued two soldiers who were convicted of serious crimes, and set a fire to burn the Xinzhou Prefecture and County Ya to the ground, the intelligence room thought it was a plan, but he didn't know that Pei Du had been staring at this matter since the case was initiated, he wanted to use this to drive the Xining Army out of Hedong, and he was willing to let go, Pei Du secretly told Li Ang about the matter, Li Ang reprimanded Yang Hao sternly, and asked him to revoke the intelligence room and send the perpetrator to the Hedong Law Division to be dealt with strictly，

Li Yan was afraid of Yang Hao's disadvantage, and deliberately sent Xiao Mingyue to Fengzhou to supervise, under this pressure, Yang Hao could only remove the intelligence room, dismissed some peripheral personnel, and Guan Suo was demoted to the secretary room, but the intelligence room is already full of wings at the moment, and it is not that it can be dispersed if you want to, except for the sign of the intelligence room can not be hung, the rest are as usual, because the book office is on the left hand of the study, everyone will call the original intelligence room with "Zuo Mansion",

In addition to the fact that the number of people in the Zuo Mansion is slightly smaller than that of the original intelligence room, the internal structure is more complete than before, with a total of four rooms, two rooms and one office:

Around:

The first Division, also known as the Intelligence Division, is responsible for the overall collection and analysis of external intelligence.

The second department, also known as the Discipline Inspection Department, is responsible for enforcing family rules, purging moles, and counter-espionage infiltration.

The third department, also known as the Operations Division, is responsible for special operations such as assassinations,

The fourth office, also known as the General Affairs Office, is responsible for internal administrative and logistical affairs, and consists of administrative, logistics, security, warehouse and other departments.

3 Rooms:

Finance office, manage internal finances,

Technical room, research, management of various equipment,

research room, which provides intellectual support for decision-making,

In addition to the four four rooms of the headquarters, branches were set up in important state capitals, presided over by the general manager, in order to provide sufficient funds for the Zuo Mansion, and not leave a handle to resist the order, Yang Hao established the Delong Jade Society, under the guise of operating jade and jewelry, to the Zuo Mansion for blood transfusion, in addition, Guan Suo cooperated with Ma Li to open Fuxianglou branches in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, as a cover for carrying out activities.

After lying on the bed for half a month, Yang Hao was finally able to walk around on the ground, at this time it was the end of April, the prosperous green willows in Feng'an City were extraordinarily enchanting, and the Tiande army, which had suffered from the war, was being rebuilt, and since the beginning of the year, he had returned to the Uighur court with a full load, and he brought the Uighurs a contract for customizing 1,200 sets of heavy armor, according to the existing production capacity of the Kurub Company, this heavy armor will be completed and delivered in six batches within three years,

Yang Hao met Guan Suo on the grass by the pond in the back garden, and stayed in the Uighur court for half a year, Guan Suo seemed to have changed as a person, became elegant, and could enjoy it, and he was not very attentive to the West Lake Longjing tea carefully prepared by Lu Rui, Yang Hao quipped: "The barbarians on the grassland now know how to write the word Fengya." ”

Guan Suo pursed his lips disapprovingly, and said: "You can't look at people with the old eyes, but now the Uighurs are all gentlemen and elegant manners, I feel ashamed to go, and I have lost my glorious face of the Tang Dynasty." Yang Hao took a sip of tea and said: "The whole country is in luxury, it's definitely not a good thing, this time you sold 1,200 pairs of heavy armor, this is a great achievement, but I want to know, how did all this come about, is there a lot of resistance." ”

"The drag is naturally not small, but the thrust is greater." Guan Suo put down the tea bowl, picked up an apricot and chewed it in his mouth,

"To be sure, there were many visionaries in the Uighur dynasty who could see at a glance where the heavy armor of the Kurubi family was, but the country was rotten from head to toe, and the high-ranking officials were indulging in extravagant pleasures and had no concern for the future of the country.

Guan Suo said with pride, as if everything was under his control, Yang Hao looked a little jealous, changed his words, and said: "According to your observation for so long, do you think the 'pig breeding plan' they made can be realized." ”

This was the real purpose of Guan Suo's visit to the Uighur royal court, and through the continuous deepening of his understanding of the Uighurs, Yang Hao became suspicious of the plan carried out by Zhangxin Khan, not doubting whether the plan existed, but doubting whether the plan could really be implemented.

Guan Suo nodded silently: "The Uighurs are a big country, although the center has decayed, but the limbs and bones are still alive, if you sacrifice your life, the strength is still very fierce." ”

"This is called the hundred-legged insect that dies without stiffening." Lu Rui interjected, Yang Hao glanced at her and didn't speak, she was having trouble with herself because of Lu Xiaofeng's affairs in the past two days, the reason was that Lu Xiaofeng would graduate from the economics hall, a year ago it was Yang Hao who let him enter the school, and promised Lu Rui to reuse him after graduation, Yang Hao's arrangement was to put him in Yongchang Company, whether it was the head office or the newly established branch (subsidiary) company, the unit was chosen by him, and the position was also chosen by him.

It stands to reason that this is also a fulfillment of his promise to reuse him at the beginning, but Lu Xiaofeng's mind is to think administratively, even if it is a small official in the most remote county, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced, Yang Hao agreed to him, and placed him in the third farm of the Agricultural Mulberry Bureau in Yongfeng Hengsai Town as a supervisor, Hengsai Town is the place where Yang Hao started, although he did not stay there for a long time, but his feelings are very deep, and it is already selfish to place Lu Xiaofeng there, and the third farm in Hengsai Town is the third largest farm directly under the Agricultural and Mulberry Bureau. It is also one of the farms with the highest level of management, and Lu Xiaofeng's previous three superintendents were all promoted quickly, and his career is bright.

Lu Rui didn't understand Guan Qiao here, she only felt that sending Lu Xiaofeng to such a far place to endure hardships was Yang Hao's intention to embarrass him, and to embarrass him was to refute his own face, so she had trouble with Yang Hao for several days, and when she was sick not long ago, Yang Hao didn't care enough for her, and she felt guilty, so Lu Rui played a little temper at home, and Yang Hao could only let her,

"The third sister-in-law said well, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, that's the truth, so there is still no slackness." Guan Suo said this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, this kind of major question of right and wrong should be finally decided by Yang Hao, how could he overstep his bounds, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he turned around and asked Lu Rui: "Xiaofeng is about to finish, is there a good place to go." ”

Lu Rui glanced at Yang Hao, and said in a long voice: "There is ,,, the third farm in Hengsai Town, as an overseer, and the future is great." ”

Guan Suo heard the dissatisfaction in her words, and also knew Yang Hao's difficulties, as the helmsman, how could he break the rules he had set, so he said to Lu Rui in a consultative tone: "Didn't he study economics, how about letting him come to Delong Club, not only can he boil his qualifications, but also not waste his profession." ”

What does Delong Club do, Lu Rui knows it clearly, stepping on the two boats of officials and businessmen, and the benefits of both sides are eaten, this is an authentic beauty difference,

"It's good, it's just ......" Lu Rui glanced at Yang Hao and didn't speak,

"It's not all about enjoying yourself, sometimes you have to work hard with your head." Guan Suo's words cleared the obstacles for Lu Xiaofeng and Yang Hao, Yang Hao didn't speak, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence,
