"What are you doing here?"

Li Xiuning still had that faint expression, put down the military book, and looked at Zhou Shaoyu who walked over calmly.

If it weren't for the fact that they had been together for a long time and had already understood Li Xiuning's temperament, I was afraid that they would really think that they were not popular, Zhou Shaoyu smiled softly, suddenly sped up, rushed over and stretched out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Shaoyu was sitting on Li Xiuning's seat, and the latter had already become sitting on his lap.

"I came because I missed you." Zhou Shaoyu's mouth is flowery.

Li Xiuning was still expressionless, glanced at Zhou Shaoyu, picked up the military book and continued to read it, her red lips moved slightly: "Oh......"

！！！

Zhou Shaoyu was speechless and amused, so he blew and said, "Is it really so bland? Otherwise what are you blushing for? ”

Li Xiuning glanced at it again and said lightly: "Refreshed." ”

Well? Zhou Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Why is it yellow again?" ”

"Boring ......" Li Xiuning retracted his eyes and continued to read the military book.

Fortunately, I almost thought that this Nizi was going to say 'wax applied in the cold'.

It's really cold, time flies, and now it's about to start winter again, and the Northland naturally cooled down earlier, and this season is naturally past the most active period of raiding. It was much easier in all respects, and after a while, even the construction of the pass would have to be halted temporarily. Zhou Shaoyu came this time, and he was also going to change Li Xiuning's defense back, so that Qiu Mingyuan, who was good at defense, could sit here.

"What happened to the group of golden men you pursued a few days ago?" Li Xiuning brushed the hair around his ears, then turned a page of the military book, and quietly changed the topic.

Zhou Shaoyu replied to the question, "Huh? PreviousSeems to be talking about beauty tricks? ”

"Huh?" Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, and the previous page was just pretending not to look at it, so he said vaguely: "Well, yes." ”

"Will you go back and see?" Zhou Shaoyu was happy.

"Boring!" Li Xiuning can be regarded as reacting, the previous page is definitely not a beauty trick, how embarrassing it is to turn back. He resolutely folded the book and threw it aside to cover up, but his face turned even redder.

"Oh, it's terrible, my little Xiuning is so cute." Zhou Shaoyu likes it so much, this Nizi is so interesting.

Li Xiuning finally had an expression, her little white eyes rolled, her little head raised, and she snorted: "Don't you treat me as another sister?" I wouldn't be so easily fooled. ”

"Haha......" Zhou Shaoyu was even happier, and said in his heart, 'No, in fact, you are better coaxed'.

"Don't laugh!" Li Xiuning made a small face and said, "Don't think about it in broad daylight, get down to business!" ”

"Oh...... Don't allow it in broad daylight......" Zhou Shaoyu stretched out his voice.

"Boring!"

"Okay, get down to business."

"I heard that Xiao Jiwen is expanding the army again."

Well, that's a pretty impactful thing to do. Zhou Shaoyu also got serious.

According to Xiao Jiwen's original plan, it must be all about Jingzhou. However, there are always accidents, the original chess piece An Ge jumped out of the chessboard, mixing all the plans of Xiao Jiwen at the beginning, and finally got the western part of Jingzhou.

However, although An Ge jumped out of Xiao Jiwen's chessboard, he fell into the hands of Gao Yuyao, a more clever chess player. Even if Sun Yu rebelled directly, it was not a big threat to Da Liang, but as long as he stayed in Yunmengze, it would be a natural buffer point, and coupled with Sun Shouren of Xiangyang, Xiao Yuwen could not come over.

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Jiwen really had no other way but to expand the army.

This is still Xiao Yao's wife is finally rich, otherwise she can't expand the army if she wants to.

At first, Xiao Yuwen subdued the countries of the Western Regions, and the first small fortune was naturally provided by the countries. After that, it was the same, but it was interrupted by the Tubo in the middle, and it was restored again not long ago.

But now Xiao has finally found a new way, that is, selling salt!

Compared with the Central Plains, the natural resources of the Western Regions are much less, but there are always some rare things, but Xiao Jiwen really doesn't know much about this aspect, and even if she has the heart, she can't make a lot of money.

But salt is different, this thing is a necessity, no one can do without it, no matter how you sell it, you can make money. In the Western Regions, the most important thing is salt.

In the land of the Western Regions, there are hundreds of salt lakes, and the production is abundant, almost inexhaustible. For the people of the Western Regions, the salt lake or something will not be taken to heart at all, it is too much, and they have never had this aspect of ventilation with Xiao Jiwen at all.

And Xiao Jiwen was shocked when she learned about it by chance, it was salt, a profitable business with her eyes closed. Moreover, salt is no better than others, and the government operation is also normal, and there will be no burden at all.

But when a load of white salt was transported, Xiao Jiwen couldn't be happier.

Why was Gao Yuyao able to make Daliang strong again so quickly? Of course, Gao Yuyao's own ability and ability are among them, but if she has no money, what can she do to expand the army? You must know that Xiao Jiwen has always been troubled by property.

In short, Xiao Jiwen made a fortune, and the first thing to do when she made a fortune was naturally to expand the army again.

According to the information received so far, Xiao Jiwen is very generous this time, and will directly expand the army by 50,000 at one time, although it is still early to form an effective combat force, but after all, the number of people is there, and there will be an expansion of the army in the future.

This means that Xiao Jiwen's strength has been further improved, so it is necessary to re-plan the overall situation and reformulate the plan to use Xiao Jiwen and Daliang to fight to the death. Don't look back, Xiao Yao's wife is too strong, there is no need to rely on uniting with Zhou Shaoyu, at that time, Gao Yuyao will definitely not let go of such an opportunity, and she will have to use her skillful balancing measures to let Xiao Yaoyu and Zhou Shaoyu fight, which is not interesting.

"Overall, it's a good thing for the time being." Zhou Shaoyu said: "If there are soldiers, Xiao Jiao's wife will go to fight with Daliang." But it can't be too much, Li Qing, according to their intentions, is to send envoys to reach trade agreements in the past and buy salt regularly. Because of Xiao Jiwen's own territory alone, the reconsumption of salt is limited, and Xiao Jiwen can only sell it if she wants to make more money to maintain the army, with her current relationship with the Daliang court, it is impossible to sell it into Daliang, and the latter is not lacking. The best buyers, of course, are us. Li Qingzhao planned to make a good plan, and used economic means to keep Xiao Jiwen out of control. and even further control. ”

Li Xiuning listened to the clouds, she is good at commanding the army to fight, and she can also handle some internal affairs, but she can't play with the economy or anything.

"Let's put it this way, the simplest example, suppose Xiao Jiwen expands the army by 100,000, first excludes the consumption of armaments, just saying that it costs 500,000 yuan a year to maintain the army, and Xiao Ji's own territory can only earn 300,000, then the remaining 200,000 must find another way from elsewhere, and if we swallow the 200,000 deal, then Xiao Jiwen naturally can only make more compromises, otherwise we will suddenly stop the transaction at that time, what will Xiao Jiwen use to feed the army. Of course, this is only the most superficial example. Zhou Shaoyu further explained.

"I see." Li Xiuning nodded, glanced at Zhou Shaoyu again, and said lightly: "But what does this have to do with your hands moving around?" ”

"Ehehe, I can't help it, I can't help it......" Zhou Shaoyu laughed twice, and suddenly said: "It would be nice if I met you a few years earlier." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Lori Saigao!"

！！！

Don't think about it, that is, say it casually, and have no other meaning. Mainly because Li Xiuning's petite body made Zhou Shaoyu's brain hole.

stayed in the military camp for a few days, and walked around the grassland on horseback with Li Xiuning, and then officially handed over the defense work to Qiu Mingyuan, and took Li Xiuning back to Yancheng.

As soon as I returned home, I saw Xu Miaojin and Huang Chongxuan, two sisters dressed in men's clothes, and they felt awkward. The main thing is that these two will dress up, and if you don't pay attention to the men's clothing, you will only think that they are two handsome boys, and it is easy to give people the illusion that the two men are tired. And in the world of Daliang, to be honest, there are really a lot of good men, which feels even weirder.

Seeing that Zhou Shaoyu came back, Xu Miaojin immediately changed her seat, stretched out her hand to hug her, but held Zhu Shuzhen in her arms, and kissed her quite arrogantly.

Zhou Shaoyu's face was dark, and he had a sense of being green.

"But I remembered that I had a picture of a beautiful lady in my collection, and I had nothing to do, so I might as well come together to appreciate it." Zhou Shaoyu said, and really found a scroll.

Xu Miaojin looked at it, and immediately withered, no need to ask, the painting must be Xu Miaojin's, and it is also a high-definition version of the oil painting painted by Bian Min. Although it is said that Zhou Shaoyu has seen this painting has been broken, but this is not the same as blatantly not being able to take it to see it together, everyone is a woman's own sister, but that is too embarrassing, this painting is spread out, what is the difference between her standing here without clothes.

"You, you'll see!" Xu Miaojin was unwilling.

"Huh? Still threatening me? Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, and he was about to spread out the picture scroll.

"Shhh...... Other! It's a big deal to let Huang Gongzi be bullied by you. Xu Miaojin hurriedly stopped begging for mercy, but this condition was ...... It's weird.

"Huang Gongzi ......" Zhou Shaoyu was speechless, he really didn't feel much about Huang Chongxuan, he didn't have any interest at all, besides, your own business, what the hell is it to sacrifice others.

"Shuzhen, stay away from such hooligans in the future, don't be contaminated." Zhou Shaoyu pulled Zhu Shuzhen over, raised his hand and touched the kissed place on her face, and said, "Come, wipe it for your husband, otherwise it will be stained." ”

"Hmph, you're the stinky man!" Xu Miaojin is so unhappy, what does it mean to be stained with a smell! Is it good that people are fragrant!

"What? Have you smelled it? Hey? I suddenly remembered that the dirty pants I changed were honestly lost for no reason, could it be that you stole them? Tell me honestly, how many times have you sniffed it! ”

"Poof......

As soon as these words came out, all the women present were happy, blushing and covering their mouths and laughing, saying in their hearts that Zhou Shaoyu was too shameless, and this could be said.

Xu Miaojin is a woman in the end, her skin is thin, she almost didn't resist, and she stretched out her fingers and wanted to fight back: "You just stole me!" ”

"Yikes! You found out! Zhou Shaoyu pretended to be surprised, and then nodded heavily. Since you found out, then I'll admit it directly, yes, I've sniffed it many times. ”

"Dengden Dengden Dengden disciple...... "Xu Miaojin is stupid, can he still be like this? As soon as he raised his hand to cover his face, he pulled his leg and ran away.

Hey? Zhou Shaoyu was still surprised, although this kind of joke was indeed too much for ancient women, but Xu Miaojin had already broken the can, and the bickering was not once or twice, she had long been used to it, and she had exercised a lot of cheeks, so she shouldn't run away with such a big move.

However, what Zhou Shaoyu didn't know was that Xu Miaojin really lost a pair of obscene pants inexplicably a while ago, and he didn't think much about it, but at this time Zhou Shaoyu suddenly said this...... Forehead!

Is it really as Zhou Shaoyu said? Thinking about it like this, where can Xu Miaojin still bear it.

Look, how unjustly panicked, if Zhou Shaoyu knew that he would be aggrieved, his brother would still steal people's pants.

"It's gone......" Zhou Shaoyu said speechlessly, it's not fun yet, forget it. Rou'er, you go and call Miaojin out again, you still have something to say. ”

Youzhou was in hand and began to rebuild, and the people of Youzhou returned to their homeland. But because of the season, in fact, only a part of the people who have returned. Most people don't come back until the beginning of spring in the following year, when it is just time for spring ploughing.

The reason why Yancheng was built in the first place in reconstruction is purely because of the large population of Yancheng, Ashina Huqin did not gather a small population here, and he originally put the capital here, which is also the most well-preserved city in Youzhou at present, and the repair is the simplest.

But according to Zhou Shaoyu's meaning, the first place to build Youzhou is not Yancheng, but Yuyang County. According to the location comparison, it is under the jurisdiction of Tianjin. Don't forget, Youzhou is close to the sea, and Yuyang is not far from the sea.

Although Wednesday Mountain has established a foothold in the south, and there is a navy that is not so regular, it is too far away. Therefore, Zhou Shaoyu's meaning is that a branch can also be formed in the north to achieve the effect of echoing the north and the south.

In addition, it is conducive to maritime trade. Zhou Shaoyu was really indifferent to Gao Yuyao's big profits from Silla and Dongwa.

Besides, the location of the Qingzhou Penglai Sailor is not far away, if there is no own sea power, wouldn't people fight from wherever they want to fight at that time? It is impossible to prevent it at all, so if you want to defend Youzhou, you must form a water division.

This is definitely one of the reasons why Gao Yuyao defended and threw Youzhou directly to Zhou Shaoyu. First, people really don't have much interest in Youzhou. Second, it is natural that Zhou Shaoyu has no water master here, and she Gao Yuyao has, in other words, Gao Yuyao is the absolute initiative.

So Yuyang must be rebuilt, what do you do in these years without manpower? Shipbuilding and building docks require a lot of labor, and you can't always collect them from other places. Then having a big city by the sea is the best way.

Based on this, Zhou Shaoyu naturally wanted to discuss with Xu Miaojin, the bad guy is now in charge of Youzhou, responsible for everything, and has a rough estimate of how many people will migrate over in the coming year. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared in advance, and you can't delay any longer.
