In the New Year of the eleventh year of the Great Cause, the Sui army in Youzhou lived a particularly leisurely and satisfying life......

Not to mention the full amount of military salaries, the most important thing is that the quality of food is mentioned again and again, all kinds of chicken, duck, beef and mutton are available, and the meals are full of oil and water, so that the rough men who have to practice every day are satisfied.

In addition to the looting of these cattle and sheep by the Youzhou army, most of them were obtained through foreign trade.

The silk of the Great Sui, the porcelain of the Great Sui, and all the handicrafts of the Great Sui are all great good things in the eyes of the wild Northeast foreigners.

All it takes is a small piece of silk to buy one or even several horses.

A slightly more exquisite porcelain can be seen everywhere in the mainland, and it can be sold at a sky-high price in the hands of foreigners in the Northeast, and there are nearly ten horses to replace the purchase with cattle, sheep and horses!

And so on, all the things in the Central Plains, especially in terms of food, clothing and enjoyment, are extremely popular in trading with foreign tribes in the Northeast.

As a result, groups of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as ginseng, deer antler velvet, Dongzhu and other things, which are special products of the Northeast, fell into the pockets of the Youzhou caravan like flowing water in the prosperous foreign trade.

In addition, the large areas of forest and grassland looted by the Sui army in Youzhou, and the attached pastures and forest farms of the Sui army that were roughly organized also brought a steady stream of various materials to the Youzhou army.

In a word, the tens of thousands of Sui troops in Youzhou at this time, if the resources they have at hand are converted into silver, tens of millions of taels is just the most conservative estimate!

Even if it can't interfere in local government affairs for the time being, the Youzhou Army has a large number of young and strong people in its hands. In addition to completing the basic work for the Youzhou Army, Lin Sha did not let them eat idle rice.

With the prosperity of foreign trade, there are more and more food, clothing and enjoyment materials needed. In addition to purchasing from the neighboring Hebei Jindi, relying on the craftsmen in the young and strong people. The Youzhou Army established many Sui army craftsman battalions, specializing in the production of silk porcelain or small handicrafts and other things.

Business is booming. Lin Sha is not a stingy lord, he will be rewarded and punished if he has merit, but whether the other party is a lieutenant general or a young and strong man who is already serving for free, even if he is a criminal prisoner, the reward he deserves will not be less.

It is precisely because of him that he 'rewards and punishes Gongming' that the industry controlled by the Youzhou Army has developed extremely rapidly in less than a year.

In addition to traditional handicrafts, the large areas of grassland and mountains and forests obtained by the Sui army to conquer foreign tribes were also divided into patches of pastures and forest farms, led by young and strong people with considerable prestige. Tens of thousands of people were used up at once, especially if it was not enough.

Because life is too good and there is a powerful Youzhou army to rely on, some young and strong people whose hometowns are in war-torn areas even ask businessmen who come and go to Youzhou to help bring 'happiness' to their relatives in their hometowns.

In this way, although Lin Sha has no way to interfere in the government affairs of several major cities in Youzhou for the time being, the grasslands and mountains and forests on the periphery have all fallen under the control of the Youzhou army, forming an alternative pattern of rural areas surrounding the city. Lin Sha's prestige has also increased rapidly again and again.

Because of a series of actions of the Youzhou Army, Youzhou, which was originally a border place of the Great Sui, burst into vitality during the ten years of the Great Cause, and the number of business and tourist flows increased again and again. The appearance of the county seat of Zhuojun has expanded again and again, and even the originally worthless land price has been speculated.

The impact of foreign trade has expanded rapidly, and it has gradually affected the soldiers of the Youzhou army at the bottom.

In order to make more money. The Youzhou government includes the Zhuojun Taishou, the head of the Wenchen, and a family force. As well as gangs and business forces large and small, all of them leaned in. Let Lin Sha have a good experience of the scenery of the so-called Youzhou Earth Emperor.

The so-called New Year's Eve is very joyful in the entire Pingbei General's Mansion, with a red face and a high-spirited mental state up and down.

And the owner of the General's Mansion, Pingbei General Lin Sha, received several groups of special guests on such a festive day.

"Fan Yang Lu's Clan?"

Looking at the delicate greeting post in his hand, Lin Sha raised his eyebrows lightly and looked thoughtful.

Fan Yang Lu's family is one of the five famous surnames and seven wangs.

Lin Sha had been an emperor, so he naturally had an understanding of these family valves who once affected the situation in the world during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In 385 B.C., Tian and Dai Qi, Lu and Gao were driven out, and after leaving Luyi in Changqing County, Shandong, they scattered between Yan and Qin, and the main one was concentrated in Fanyang.

When Fan Yang Lu was in Qin Shi Huang, there were the famous Doctor of the Five Classics Lu Xi and Doctor of Astronomy Lu Sheng. Followed by the early Western Han Dynasty, there was Yan King Lu Juan, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was honored as "the model of scholars, the Zhenhan of the country", and the great Confucian Lu Zhi of Confucianism in the sea (Lu Zhi's former residence is in Lujiachang, Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province), all from Fanyang.

and Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties to Sui, Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi, Lu Chen, Lu Yan, Lu Miao, Lu Xuan, etc., all of whom are official eunuchs and scholars. From Lu Xuanqi to his great-grandson, there are 18 people in a family of 100 who live together with common wealth, and are famous as officials and are recorded in history.

The son of the imperial family wants to find the Lu family to marry, and the history is known as "Fanyang Lu family, one family and three princesses." "The imperial family also wants to accept the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu clan as a noble concubine. The historian has the surname of the four seas [Cui Lu Wang Xie] and said: "Looking out of Fanyang, the crown family of Beizhou".

The Lu family, but the land of Yanzhao in Youzhou is a well-deserved giant!

Their prestige and touch in officialdom and the people have affected all aspects of life, and they have a strong influence in the civil service system in Youzhou.

However, for Lin Sha, the Fan Yang Lu clan, which is admired by the people of Youzhou, is just a slightly stronger family gatekeeper.

Baiyouzhou is located in the border area, and since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has been a place of contention for the northern regime.

Therefore, the perennial war is connected, and once the dynasty is changed, Youzhou will go through war.

In this way, the most important thing in Youzhou is military power, and Lin Sha is precisely the first general of the Sui Army in Youzhou.

This is a world of high martial arts where individual force is dominant!

Fanyang Lu is not only the first family in Youzhou, but also the leader of Youzhou martial arts, the Lu family's family origins, but there are many famous masters!

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Sha, with the grandmaster-level force he has, the entire Fan Yang together is not enough, this is the most important manifestation that individual force can determine the outcome of the war, and even the rise and fall of the world and the stability of the country.

I don't know if I look down on him with such mud legs, in short, since Lin Sha rose in the eighth year of the Great Cause, the people of the Fan Yang Lu clan have never come to visit, or have the slightest intention of making friends.

Lin Sha didn't care about this!

The military and the civilian officials and Shilin are two systems, especially in this world, the situation has just stabilized, and the generals in the army are all promising, so they will naturally not be controlled by the so-called family clans.

And Emperor Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo, regardless of the internal reasons, it is a fact that the clan lords in the army were greatly affected, and at the same time, civilian generals like Lin Sha also rose.

It took Lin Sha a lot of energy to stabilize the Youzhou army, and then he formed a caravan to engage in foreign trade, organized men and horses to fight grass valleys to grab territory, and also sent troops out of the country to clear out the rebels in Hebei.

Whether he wants to dominate the world or not, he doesn't mean to rely too much on the family gatekeeper.

Fortunately, everything in the Gaowu world speaks with his fists, as long as he can firmly grasp the Youzhou Army, at least when the troubled times come, the starting point is not beyond the reach of ordinary people.

What Shuanglong, what Wagang, what Jianghuai Army, and what Hebei Jukou and the like, under the crushing of tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Youzhou, they are not farts.

"General, do you see or not?"

The steward of the General's Mansion, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but ask cautiously when he saw Lin Sha in deep thought.

"No hurry!"

Lin Sha waved his hand, looking at this housekeeper who had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and retired from the Youzhou Army and changed careers, he asked thoughtfully: "Wang Er, what do you think Fan Yang Lu's sudden door-to-door intention is?" ”

"What else could it be?"

Wang Er grinned disdainfully, the scar on his face was twisted and terrifying, and he said in an urn voice: "It's just that I saw that our Youzhou Army was making money and making money, and my eyes were red!" ”

This guy is Lin Sha's personal guard, also from the Taishan area of Shandong, is one of Lin Sha's close confidants, and has always taken Lin Sha's interests as the first priority, as for what family family does not care at all.

"Hah!"

Lin Sha shook his head and chuckled, his heart became more and more clear, Wang Er was really good, he had no intersection with Fan Yang Lu's family at all, and he couldn't look down on him as a Pingbei general with his prestige and status, but now he suddenly came to visit and gave a full gesture, isn't it just an incident caused by interests?

Speaking of the industry owned by the Youzhou Army, it is definitely a huge piece of fat that makes people greedy.

It's a pity that in the extreme of Youzhou, the Youzhou army is too strong. It is the caravan that has the most dealings with the government and the yamen, and basically has no contact except for the necessary dots.

Even if the bulk transactions were carried out in a specific camp opened near the Zhuojun military camp, they directly bypassed the management and exploitation of the government, and the Zhuojun county government was helpless about it.

For this reason, even in the vicinity of the camp in Youzhou Junzhuo County, in less than half a year, relying on the newly opened military camp site, an extremely prosperous commercial market has recently been formed.

There is the Youzhou army pressing the formation, whether it is the government or the gang, they don't have the courage to easily intervene in it, especially after the Youzhou army ruthlessly wiped out a small gang of about 500 people in the name of suppressing bandits, and no one who is not afraid of death dares to reach out to find trouble.

It's just that I don't know, Fan Yang Lu suddenly came to the door, which piece of interest did he fancie?

Of course, no matter which interests they fancie, if they don't pay the price that satisfies him, they don't even think about it if they want to empty the gloves of the white wolf!

"Tell the visitor that it is a certain military affairs that is inconvenient to meet the guest......" (To be continued.) )
