Chapter 142: Not for Fish
The area around Yehuling in summer is cool and heatless, like late spring. This article was written by...... However, the city lord Li Yanqing was sweating, and his clothes were all wet.
Li Yanqing was originally not a high rank in the Tiger League, but when Ling Yun once held the flag for Murong Ke, he made a flag for Ling Yun. Later, when the old master died, Ling Yun went out to set up a mountain by himself, took the eighteen horsemen out, and pulled out a white horse hall a few years later. And he, just because he hesitated for a while, did not follow Ling Yun out to stay at the helm, but a few years later, Ling Yun became the master of the White Horse Hall, became the White Horse Silver Spear Yi Saburo, became the acting alliance leader, and became the champion general, but he was just promoted from the bannerman to the small building master. If he had gone with Lingyun at the beginning, maybe Yanyun's eighteenth ride would have to be Yanyun's nineteenth ride, Li Yanqing thought to himself. Now he had begun to wonder why he had taken the initiative to come to Yehuling to be the city lord last time, maybe he felt that the city lord's name was very big at that time. Maybe it was just because Ling Yun took the initiative to ask him at that time, and when he was excited, he agreed without thinking about anything. In short, he was originally just one of the lords of the guards under the four protectors of the helm, but he came to Wild Fox Ridge to become the city lord of Wild Fox City. From managing a building of men and horses to becoming the lord of 20,000 people.
said that he was the city lord, but after arriving at Yehuling, he regretted it a little. Yehuling has a population of 20,000 people, and there are three major heads who are responsible for management, the city lord who is responsible for civil administration, the garrison who is responsible for military defense, and the hall master who is responsible for supervising the criminal law. Originally, he, the city lord, was similar to a chief official like the Assassin of Yizhou, but in fact he was present. Guarding Helan Hong, although he was also Lingyun's standard-bearer like him back then, he has been following Lingyun all these years. It has long been one of Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen. The hall master Yang Yu turned out to be the law enforcement of the White Horse Hall, and they were all confidants of the alliance leader Ling Yun. One is in charge of two thousand people, and the other is holding the power of supervision granted by Ling Yun, and he is really not good as a city lord.
During this period of time, in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Wild Fox City, he was more like a presiding master of ceremonies every time he held a meeting. In the end, it was He Lanhong and Yang Yu who made the decision. All along, he just conscientiously implemented the results of the meeting. In fact, even if it was just to implement the resolutions of the chief helm and Helan Hong Yang Yu, Li Yanqing felt very difficult. He knows a few words, but he doesn't know much, it's just that Qi Guomeng has been in private school for two years. Although he is young, this is just to make him more brave when he fought in the past. It doesn't give him more experience when dealing with things. Suddenly managed 20,000 people. Even if he was only in charge of a large construction site for the time being, it made him feel tired.
As for how Wild Fox City will be exhibited in the future, he really hasn't thought about this.
20,000 people moved down the cottage and built a small city in Yehuling, and they can no longer engage in robbery, what will these 20,000 people do in the future?
Before he came, he had already understood that Ling Yun said that he wanted to build Huaihuang into a border market and put the dam on it. Build a bustling trading center. But he really didn't know exactly how to do it.
Lingyun is engaged in salt pans in Salt Lake City. He's already heard a few, too. Just now, Ling Yun told him how the Salt Lake City side decided to use salt as the foundation and vigorously develop the salt industry, and he was also very surprised and shocked after hearing it. Salt Lake City is still further northwest, although there used to be a salt lake, but it didn't make much money a year, thousands of dollars, many times, they still rely on robbery. But now listening to Ling Yunyi's detailed explanation, the salt of the salt lake actually has a great deal, what kind of salt field, the more than 10,000 people in the entire Salt Lake City are now working, and the salt lake is expected to sell more than 200,000 pieces of salt this year. He calculated, according to Ling Yun's words, sixty percent of the income would go to the general rudder, and forty percent would go to Salt Lake City. Then Salt Lake City can also get 80,000 yuan, and 10,000 people can almost get 8,000 yuan each. And this year is already halfway through, and this is only half a year's income. Even if you have to deduct some costs, and then subtract some taxes from the general rudder, there are still tens of thousands of dollars. Oh my God, Salt Lake City is already worried this year, and even next year and the year after. They have found a golden job bowl, just hold on and don't let go.
When Ling Yun asked him what direction Wild Fox City was looking for, he really didn't know how to answer.
There is a big salt lake in Salt Lake City, what does Wild Fox City have? There is a wild fox ridge, a barren ridge, an ancient battlefield, the south is close to the Great Wall, here is the junction of the dam and the east of the river, condescending to look down on the south.
He really didn't expect any good resources, the only thing he could say was to guard the passage between the dam and the east of the river, there were so many people in Wild Fox City, it was the result of the cottage often going down to the dam to rob in the Yanbei area. But now that the alliance leader said that the robbery would not be allowed, then this convenience would be gone.
However, Ling Yun's question still had to be answered.
"We discussed in Wild Fox City and decided that in the future, we will have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and we have good grass, so we plan to establish several pastures to raise horses, cattle and sheep. In addition, this is an important passage to the upper dam to the east of the river, where we intend to supply the incoming and outgoing caravans. Li Yanqing said with some apprehension.
Ling Yun sat there, his fingers lightly tapping on the old case, and listened carefully to Li Yanqing's answer. However, when he heard that there were only these two items, he still couldn't help frowning, Yehuling is such a big and important town, relying on animal husbandry and service is definitely not enough. When he chose Li Yanqing to be the city lord of Wild Fox City, he was also a little helpless. He selected the position of the garrison of the thirteen rudder from Yanyun's eighteen cavalry, and the candidates for the hall master were mostly from the White Horse Hall, the position of the city lord, he had to take care of the feelings of other people in the alliance, and he didn't want the leaders of the original cottages or the subordinates of the Taibao to take on such an important position, so he had to choose some people who had a good relationship with him from the chief rudder to serve as the city lord. But now it seems that Li Yanqing doesn't have to worry about loyalty, but his ability is much worse. But now there is no way, he can only use it first, he wants to use Wei Zheng and other people brought from the south, but unfortunately they were not from the Tiger Alliance in the past, and they suddenly became important positions such as the city lord, but I am afraid that the people in the alliance will have a lot of opinions, so let's take our time.
"Wild Fox City will be the southwest gate of our Huaihuang Town in the future, guarding the road to the lower dam to the east of the river. Extremely important. Both the trade route and the military are extremely important, and for the future exhibition of Wild Fox City, a certain has also been thinking about it for a long time. Ling Yun said slowly. There is a suggestion here, and the specific one is to discuss it carefully with the troika of Wild Fox City to see how it goes. ”
Ling Yun asked Wei Chigong, who was standing behind him, to take out a map of the dam, open it and hang it on the screen on the side. On the map, Wild Fox City has been marked, and it is on Wild Fox Ridge, and the Great Wall is to the south. Next to Wild Fox City. There are a few circles of dots.
"What's that mark?" Li Yanqing asked.
Ling Yun said with a smile: "Yanqing said a good thing just now, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain." Salt Lake City is next to the salt lake, so they show salt. Salt is a good commodity. It just so happens that we have a good way to refine salt, so the prospect of salt lake salt exhibition is very good. However, we don't have a salt lake in Wild Fox Ridge, and even if we have a salt lake, we can't compete with Salt Lake City for this business. Here's it. I brought our own golden job bowl to our Wild Fox City. Places marked on the map. It's the iron ore that has been explored! ”
"Iron Ore!" A few inhalations sounded, Li Yanqing, He Lanhong, and Yang Yu were first surprised, and then ecstatic.
The salt lake is a golden rice bowl, but iron ore is also a golden rice bowl. To build a weapon, even if it's just to make an iron pot, you don't have to make iron. Especially now that Huaihuang wants to build a bazaar and dig iron ore to smelt iron, is this still afraid that there will be no business and no money? To know. The people on the steppe are most lacking in iron tools, not only steel knives and iron spears. Even if it is an iron pot, it can be sold at a very high price.
"Is there a lot of iron ore? Is it easy to pick? Several people hurriedly asked.
"Rest assured, the exploration of iron ore reserves is very high, and the iron content is very large, it is a high-quality iron ore, and the better news is that one of them is still an open-pit iron ore. With these iron mines, it will be enough for Wild Fox City to only mine and smelt iron in the future. Ling Yun said with a smile, "Of course, this mine was explored by the general rudder, and the general rudder will provide technical support for mining and iron smelting in the future." Therefore, like the Salt Lake City side, the general rudder and Wild Fox City cooperate in mining and iron smelting, and the income is divided into six and four parts, and the total rudder is six and four in Wild Fox City. ”
Regarding the sharing plan proposed by Ling Yun, Li Yanqing and others had no opinion at all. If Ling Yun didn't tell them that there was a mine in Yehuling, they would only be afraid that they would guard Baoshan in the air and wouldn't know. Moreover, they had long been accustomed to the earlier set of the Tiger Alliance, and they were a little uncomfortable with the fact that the family was so clear now, Ling Yun said that they would divide as much as they wanted, and everyone didn't pay attention to the real meaning of this for a while. Otherwise, they would definitely not have given the big head to the chief rudder so lightly.
Ling Yun was very happy to see that Li Yanqing and the others were not bargaining, and he was a little surprised. If you want to establish a military town on the fortress, you must have no soldiers, and if you have soldiers, you must also have ordnance. Although there is a joint armory workshop settled in Huaihuang, if the materials are stuck by the imperial court, it will be difficult for the armory workshop to cook without rice. Ling Yun thought about it, and remembered that there were also a lot of coal mines, iron ore and other minerals in the area around the dam, and invited many professional exploration people to let them search the dam, and finally found a lot of minerals. Among them, there are several iron mines in the Yehuling area, and one of them is still an open-pit iron mine, which is excellent news for Lingyun. Sue the iron mine to Wild Fox City, and let them arrange people to mine and smelt iron, first, the armory workshop has a source of iron materials, and second, they solve the problem and arrange the resettlement of 20,000 people in Wild Fox City, killing two birds with one stone.
Li Yanqing and others were anxious, and they were about to go to several iron mines to investigate.
At this moment, a loud urgent report came from outside the lobby: "Report to the alliance leader, the chief helm has sent an urgent report!" ”
"Bring it in."
Wei Chigong took the letter from the hand of the person who came and presented it, Ling Yun checked the seal, opened it after confirming that it was complete, and only swept it in a hurry, and his face had changed sharply.
"Alliance leader, what's the matter?" He Lanhong asked.
Ling Yun frowned and said: "Dou Jiande of the scout group urgently reported that the old knife handle of the master of the Daqingshan Taohua Village has united the soldiers and horses of the thirty-six villages of Daqingshan, preparing to attack my Huaihuang, and at present, there are still many cottages leading troops to join him every day." ”
During this time, Huaihuang Town sent various teams to take turns to sweep the green forest cottages in Yanshan, which finally caused panic among the green forest forces in Daqingshan, and quickly formed an alliance to jointly fight against the aggressive Tiger Alliance. (To be continued......)
