Yao Yu stayed in Wancheng for half a month, and in this half a month, he has basically taken all the actual income of all the counties in Nanyang.

In fact, Yao Yu holds the name of the imperial court, he is the Jingzhou pastor given by the imperial court, and in addition, Wei Zhan's killing of the envoy to resist the heavenly soldiers is a conspiracy.

In this case, if anyone still wants to step into the back road of Wei Zhan, it is really the birthday star who hangs himself and lives impatiently.

Even the family is afraid of Yao Yu's reputation, and they are even more afraid that they will not attract Yao Yu's knife because of their resistance.

It can be said that almost in line with the trend, Nanyang and Xiangyang are all under the command of Yao Yu.

In this way, after Yao Yu ordered Quan Yao to command the 8,000 soldiers and horses in Runan, he transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses to Gao Kan and Yao Bao in Nanyang and Xiangyang.

After all, the geographical location of these two places is important, and it is impossible to do without soldiers.

As for Yao Yu himself, he led Yao Xin, Wang Xuance, Lu Bi, He Xiong, and Sun Yi, who stayed in Xiangyang to deal with government affairs, and returned to Jiangling.

Let's just put it this way, in addition to the total of 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Runan, Lujiang, Nanyang, and Xiangyang, in Yao Yu's hands, only 5,000 cavalry led by Yao Xin remained.

Relying on these 5,000 cavalry, he has to manage the six counties under his command, not to mention the six counties of Nanjun, Jiangxia, Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang, and Lingling, and he must always be on guard against Li Xiong, who may come out of Yizhou at any time in the west and harass Jiangling.

It's hard to say.

The expansion of the army is imminent.

Fortunately, the surrender of Xiangyang and Nanyang counties brought a lot of soldiers to Yao Yu.

Xiangyang County has a standing army of 25,000 soldiers and horses, although these soldiers are all large armies pulled up by Shanjian in order to make up the numbers.

But picking and choosing, you can still pick out more than 4,000 elites.

Nanyang forget it, after confronting Yao Yuwancheng for so long, the soldiers were injured and died, and now it is good to be able to gather eight hundred elites.

In addition to these elites, the rest of Yao Yu can't look down on them, and pulling these people into the army is a complete waste of food.

It is better to let them unload their armor for the people and develop the place.

No, the first thing Yao Yu did when he rushed back to Jiangling with 5,000 cavalry and less than 5,000 soldiers was to ask the squad to increase his efforts and continue to move the people of Runan south.

At the same time, he also asked Yong Ju and his subordinates to raise their hands to recruit troops in various counties, and only asked for elites.

Not to mention more, not to mention less, there must be 100,000 soldiers and horses, in order to remain undefeated in troubled times.

Of course, with the hearts of the people that Yao Yu has gathered in Jingzhou these days, the people are still very willing to join the army.

Especially the people who migrated from Runan County, they have a higher recognition of Yao Yu, let alone join the army.

In just two months, the 50,000 recruits recruited from various places have basically reached saturation.

So, Yao Yu appointed Yong Ju as the governor to train these soldiers.

And Hengjiang Captain Lian Jun, who was transferred from the Lujiang front, was the governor of the navy and trained the navy.

After all, in the battle to unify Jiangnan in the future, how can it be done without a naval army?

···

In the past two months, Jingzhou has been under the governance of Yao Yu, and the families have reined in, staying at home all day long, not going out of the gate, and not stepping out of the second door.

In the past, the boy who rode wild horses on the street has long lost his arrogance at this time.

After all, who would have thought that Yao Yu would be so ruthless, no matter what big family you are, as long as you violate his law, then you will be killed directly on the spot.

At the beginning, the family clan didn't believe that Yao Yu really dared to do this, but as a result, half a month ago, Yao Yu, who had collected evidence of the family family's crimes, sent Wang Xuance to lead 3,000 cavalry, and the horseshoe stepped through Wuyi Alley, and all the children of the big clan who committed the crime were arrested and killed.

The heads of the people who were killed directly were rolling, and the river was red.

For a time, Jingzhou went up to the seven giants and down to the ordinary gate valves, all of which were cowardly.

They restrained the children of the family one after another, and did not dare to mess around again.

On this day, Yao Yu and his third uncle Yao Zheng were tinkering with the progress of papermaking.

After Yao Yu became the owner of Jiangling, he also moved the coal brick factory in Runan and handed it over to Yao Zheng to take care of.

Not only that, Yao Yu also deliberately set up a paper mill, a printing factory, and a weapons section workshop.

So many factories were set up in one go, and it was natural that Yao Yu's pockets were squeezed dry.

Originally, after taking Jingzhou, there were 800,000 stone of grain and 97 million silver in the treasury, and he was still a small nouveau riche, but in just two months, there were only less than 10 million silver in the treasury, and only 300,000 grain was left after opening warehouses to help the people many times.

In addition, in order to further win the hearts of the people of Jingzhou, Yao Yu also deliberately exempted the people from taxes for three years.

Especially for the people who migrated from Runan and the displaced people from the north, in order to settle down for them, Yao Yu exempted them from taxes, and gave them a lot of subsidies.

In this situation, Jingzhou's finances are almost beyond their means.

How many times, the schedule has found Yao Yu and said that if he doesn't think about a way, Jingzhou will go bankrupt.

But obviously, looking at Yao Yu's performance, he didn't take the words of the class schedule to heart at this time.

He was now preoccupied with papermaking.

You must know that in the pastoral mansion of Jiangling Prefecture, there are hundreds of sets of books extorted from the family.

If you don't make the paper earlier, turn the collection of books into books and hand them over to Tao Ji to teach the students to study, the huge Jingzhou, just relying on Yao Bao and their reckless men on the battlefield, will sooner or later make a mess of Jingzhou's governance.

No, Yao Yu and Yao Zheng squatted under the sun, nervously uncovering the paper with bamboo silk added.

This is already the thirty-seventh experiment, and if it fails again, Yao Zheng's heart will be gone.

Just when Yao Yu and Yao Zheng were carefully and carefully lifting the dried paper, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Jiang Jiao, who had returned from going out, couldn't help but be happy when she saw Yao Yu, stepped forward, and shouted with some expectation: "Brother Yao." ”

Yao Yu was taken aback, his sweaty hands trembled, stabbed and tore off a corner of the paper.

When he landed, Yao Yu instantly wilted like a balloon with a hole.

Yao Zheng even sat on the ground: "It's over, it's over, it's a failure again." ”

"No, what are you doing!"

In a hurry, Yao Yu turned his head sharply and scolded Jiang Jiao loudly.

Jiang Jiao was frightened, and in her impression, she had never seen Yao Yu so angry.

For a while, grievances were written all over his face.

She held up the ice drink she bought in her hand and said, "I, I see that Brother Yao, you are too hot, so I specially bought the ice drink for you." ”

Yao Yu looked at the ice drink in Jiang Jiao's hand angrily, and said, "Whoever drinks this kind of thing, throws it away." ”

Yao Yu's unkind words made Jiang Jiao even more unable to come to the stage.

On the contrary, Jiang Jiao's maid Yu'er couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out to protect the master.
