Chapter 16: To Xiangyang
When he returned to Wushan Town, Lin Yuan's first thing was to distribute all the escorted captives to reclaim farmland.
The more farmland there is in Wushan Town, the more grain will be harvested in the coming year.
And this trip seized 43,800 units of grain, which can sustain the village for another month and a half.
However, Lin Yuan is a person who prepares for a rainy day.
There is still eleven months to wait for the grain harvest, three months have already been raised, and the remaining eight months still need to be found.
Lin Yuan kept sending people to buy grain in Xiangyang City.
At the same time, he also sent Cao Shaoqing, leading a battalion of troops, back to defend Malan Village.
After returning to Wushan Town, Lin Yuan summoned the white-faced civil official who was unwilling to surrender.
This time, the civil official finally relented and expressed his willingness to surrender.
"Ding! System Prompt: Purple and Gold Hero Li Bing, Pledge Allegiance to You! ”
"Li Bing?" Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly clicked on Li Bing's attribute panel.
[Name]: Li Bing
[Level]: Level 30
[Experience]: 400/3100
[Dynasty]: Pre-Qin

[Description]: Li Bing, a water conservancy expert in the Warring States Period, served as the Taishou of Shu County during the reign of King Qin Zhao, built Dujiangyan, blessed Ze for thousands of years, and created the country of abundance.
Lin Yuan looked at Li Bing's attribute panel, and his saliva was about to flow out.
He actually got such a capable person to serve him.
Judging from Li Bing's five-dimensional coefficient, it is not difficult to know that if it weren't for the low [Commander] and [Force], he would definitely be a king-level hero.
However, even if he exchanged a king-level hero with Lin Yuan now, Lin Yuan was unwilling.
Because Li Bing's specialty is not inferior to some royal-level heroes.
Farmland area +30%, agricultural efficiency +30, grain harvest +50%, this is a proper large BUFF.
The appearance of Li Bing strengthened Lin Yuan's determination to build Wushan Town into a large granary.
He immediately appointed Li Bing as the grain cao of Wushan Town, responsible for all agricultural business in Wushan Town.
After being idle, Lin Yuan had time to check his attribute panel, and after experiencing a great war, his attribute panel had undergone earth-shaking changes.
[Name]: Lin Yuan
[Level]: Level 20

[Wealth]: 33809600
The level has been upgraded by 6 levels in a row, and the five-dimensional coefficient has increased a lot.
Moreover, the extermination of the Zhongxiang rebel army not only gained 6,800 prestige points, but also 1,000 prestige points.
What caught Lin Yuan's eyes the most was his wealth.
He remembered that a month ago, he only had 3,600 copper coins, and now he had 30 million coins.
However, these coins are all for the purchase of grain.
Lin Yuan stayed in Wushan Town for another three days, during which Yuwen Chengdu began to attack villages within a radius of 60 miles, exterminating another eight or nine villages, and capturing nearly 1W of people.
The population of Wushan Town has reached 38,000, close to 40,000.
The more people there are, the faster the food is consumed.
In desperation, Lin Yuan had to order Yuwen Chengdu to return to Wushan Town, and let Wushan Town digest it for a period of time.
The convoy that went to Xiangyang City to buy grain finally came back.
18,000 taels of silver, a total of 36,000 units of grain.
1 tael of silver = 2 units of grain.
1 unit of grain is a person's ration for a month, and 1 tael of silver feeds two people for a month, and the price is quite cheap.
However, Lin Yuan always had a hunch that the price of grain was likely to usher in a sharp rise.
It just so happened that he had just seized the money of Zhong Xiang's rebel army, about 31,000 taels, and he was going to go to Xiangyang City in person to buy another batch of grain.
In addition, he also had to ask Niu Gao for a batch of high-end equipment.
This time, the political affairs of the town were handed over to Li Bing and Gongsun He to preside, and the military was coordinated by Yu Ban, in addition, Lin Yuan asked Wang Shen and Zhou Kang to speed up the search for other Zhongxiang rebel army camps.
After explaining the matter, Lin Yuan led Yuwen Chengdu, as well as 40 heavily armored cavalry, Haohao Tangtang to Xiangyang City.
Wushan Town is located in the east of Xiangyang City, only 200 miles away.
Along the way, Gao Cang was in Lin Yuan's ears, chattering non-stop.
This time, Lin Yuan deliberately brought Takakura, first, Takakura was more familiar with the situation in Xiangyang City, and second, Takakura was brave in this battle and deserved to be commended.
Yuwen Chengdu also seemed very happy, after all, since he was recruited, he has been in a state of conquest or preparation, even if he is an iron man, he will be tired.
This time, I just took Yuwen Chengdu to Xiangyang City to relax.
The group walked for two days and finally arrived at Xiangyang City.
Lin Yuan did not enter the city immediately, but chose to go back to the camp in the east of the city first.
Niu Gao really stayed in the camp, and when he saw Lin Yuan, he was pleasantly surprised.
"The last general, Lin Yuan, has seen the Great Commander!"
"Hahaha, no courtesy!" Niu Gao helped Lin Yuan up, his face full of smiles, "You have already reached the barracks of the Zhongxiang rebel army that you exterminated 5,000 people in Suizhou, and the marshal is very happy." ”
"Alas! Although the battle was won, it was also a pyrrhic victory! Lin Yuan pretended to be heartbroken, "The 2,000 elites I have worked hard to accumulate have all been defeated in one battle, and I don't know how to deal with other rebel armies in Suizhou next, and there are more rebel armies in Yingzhou, so I need more weapons and equipment." ”
That's right, Lin Yuan came to the barracks this time to get another batch of weapons and equipment.
He's got a taste of the sweetness.
If Yue Fei could give him another batch of equipment for 500 people and let him have 1,000 elites, he would be confident that he would wipe out the Zhongxiang rebel army of the 10,000-strong regiment.
When Niu Gao heard that Lin Yuan still needed equipment, he suddenly showed embarrassment.
However, he was already a fierce general, and he was still a little lacking in intelligence, and Lin Yuan gave him a lot of good wine, so he couldn't help Lin Yuan's soft grinding and hard foaming, so he could only agree to ask Yue Fei for Lin Yuan first.
After bidding farewell to Niu Gao, Lin Yuan met Sun Chuanlin in the scout camp again, and Wang Youfu in the third battalion, and waited until evening before he left the military camp and entered Xiangyang City.
The huge city of Xiangyang is incomparably majestic.
Lin Yuan was born in Xiangyang City last time, and it was still an outer city, and this time when he entered the inner city, he knew how prosperous Xiangyang City was.
On both sides of the wide street, there are shops and hotels everywhere, the lights are bright, the pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, and the bustling pedestrians come and go on the street, which is very lively, just like the reappearance of the prosperous era of Chang'an.
Lin Yuan and his entourage, under the leadership of Gao Cang, stayed at Yuelai Inn.
And their arrival has already attracted the attention of many strangers in the city.
Some people even posted the news of Lin Yuan's entry into the city on the Internet.
Lin Yuan didn't know that he was very popular on the Internet now, and after the battle to exterminate the 5,000 Zhongxiang rebels, everyone was shocked by him.
Because at this stage, no one has such strength, and neither can the 'son of the Lu family' of the Jin Kingdom.
The inn where Lin Yuan stayed naturally attracted everyone's attention.
However, no one knew that Lin Yuan and the others had already quietly left the inn and came to the most prestigious Qinglou painting boat in Xiangyang City under the leadership of Gao Cang.
Everyone boarded a building boat, admired the flowers and the moon, admired the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the company of geisha, and completely emptied their minds in the beautiful sound.
The Qinglou painting boat is a place where sentiment is cultivated in the Song Dynasty.
Geisha only sell their art, not their bodies.
However, when it comes to the Qinglou painting boat, Xiangyang City is obviously not as famous as Yangzhou City.
Lin Yuan picked up his wine glass and looked at the night view of the entire Xiangyang City from the boat, the lights were bright and the flowers were blooming, but I didn't know how long such a scene would last.
Xiangyang Mansion is located in the front line, once the Song and Jin Dynasty start a war, Xiangyang City will be the first to suffer, and I don't know how many people will be ruined and killed.
At this stage, the four counties of Xinyang, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, and Xiangfan in the north of Xiangyang Prefecture have not been recovered.
Lin Yuan estimated that it was not far from recovering the land of the four counties.
After the land of the four counties is recovered, the historical Battle of Yuncheng and the Battle of Yingchang will also follow.
The duel between Yue Fei and Jin Wushu, the most fierce collision between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom will also come.
