There is Room For the Poor Daughter

At the gate of Ganzhou City, Zhu Jianzhong and Pang Guang rode out side by side, and their faces were flushed red from drinking too much alcohol.

After driving a distance from the city gate, a gust of wind blew through, and the two shook their heads at the same time, and their minds completely recovered.

Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang with uncertainty: "Are we promising Xiao Yeyang something that shouldn't be promised?"

Pang Guang didn't answer, but raised his hand and patted his mouth with a look of regret.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Jianzhong still doesn't understand.

Pang Guang said regretfully: "We seem to have been trapped by Xiao Yeyang."

However, Zhu Jianzhong laughed: "Is it a pit? I don't think we are going to plant high-yield grains? As long as we survive this year, tomorrow, the soldiers of the guardhouse will be able to eat enough."

Pang Guang hummed: "Xiao Yeyang gave us high-yield grains, but you don't look at what he wants from us. You, Jin Weiwei, are fine, you asked for 2,000 horses, but I Lan Wuwei has to transfer 20,000 frontier troops to Ganzhouwei, and it can't be old, weak, sick or disabled."

Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang: "You can be content, transfer 20,000 frontier troops to Ganzhou Wei, you don't have to worry about their food, doesn't this relieve your burden?"

"Lan Wuwei doesn't border Xiliao. Originally, the frontier army on your side was the reserve army. Now Xiao Yeyang uses it, and he also took out the order of the five army governor's office, so don't complain."

After speaking, he paused, looking suspicious.

"However, isn't Xiao Yeyang already recruiting troops? Why is he still recruiting Lan Wuwei's frontier troops? What is he going to do? Let us keep it a secret?"

Pang Guang was silent and did not speak, he actually had some guesses in his heart.

Xiao Yeyang took over Ganzhou Wei, and he must have wanted to prove his ability.

How to prove it?

It is definitely the most effective and beneficial attack to retake Danhe, which was overrun by the Western Liao people.

But, does he have that courage?

Now that there is no war between Xiliao and Daxia, does Xiao Yeyang dare to lead the army to retake Danhe?

Seeing that Pang Guang didn't answer, Zhu Jianzhong didn't continue to say anything. He looked back at Mrs. Xiao's gift for them, shook his head and said, "We are short-handed and short-mouthed, we can be considered attracted by Xiao Yeyang. ?"

Pang Guang glanced at Zhu Jianzhong, saw the corner of his mouth grinning, and hummed, "I seem quite happy to see you."

Zhu Jianzhong did not deny it, but said: "In the past two years, the people of Xiliao have become more and more excessive. They have robbed money and food, and they have also robbed women. Last year, they even began to massacre the city. The people of Jinweiwei are living too hard, and I have no ability to change their lives. , if others can, I will."

Although Zhu Jianzhong didn't say what he was willing to do, Pang Guang understood in his heart.

Xiao House.

Xiao Yeyang was lying on the beauty chair, and Daohua brought the hangover soup. After he took it, he saw that his brows were relaxed, the corners of his mouth smirked, and while fanning him, he said, "It seems that you and those two conductors It was a good conversation."

After Xiao Yeyang finished drinking the hangover soup, he smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll give them the food they want, and the horses and soldiers I want will also arrive. It's a win-win situation."

Daohua smiled: "I heard the maid say that you have poured them a lot of alcohol, be careful that they will default on their debts when they sober up."

Xiao Yeyang laughed: "Do you think people who can sit in the position of commander and envoy are so easy to get drunk? They just follow the trend. As soon as we came, those two guys were paying attention. Today's result is that they came. It's been balanced before."

Say, sit up.

"The Jinweiwei side can produce two thousand horses, and with my hands, I can raise three thousand cavalry, and the remaining two thousand horses have to be bought from the people of Xiliao."

Daohua: "The tea has been delivered. If you want to use it, you can go to the warehouse to pick it up at any time."

"It's great to have you by my side!" Xiao Yeyang smiled and hugged Daohua and kissed.

Daohua pushed the person away in disgust. The summer in Ganzhouwei was too hot, and the Xiao residence did not prepare any ice this year, and she was sweating every day: "You are not too hot."

Xiao Yeyang: "I don't mind." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to hug the rice flower again.

Daohua hurriedly stood up, moved away from him, and said while fanning her fan, "I just heard from the second uncle that the third cousin decided to stay. They made a decision so quickly, did you say something?"

Xiao Yeyang said with an "en": "The first batch of businessmen who come to Ganzhou Wei to do business will be given preferential treatment by the Wei Institute. I have already asked Uncle Dong to formulate relevant regulations."

"Second uncle and third cousin, I am going to set up a wasteland outside the city and let them build a textile factory. The name is Ganzhou Textile Factory. The military uniforms of the frontier army and the guards will be handed over to them to complete."

Daohua smiled and said, "No wonder the second uncle and the third cousin are so active. Your support is not small."

Xiao Yeyang: "Second uncle and third cousin came to Ganzhou Wei to do business. In the end, they helped me, so of course I will not be stingy."

The next day, people from Jinweiwei sent 2,000 horses to Ganzhouwei.

Xiao Yeyang was busy again, busy training cavalry. At the same time, he also sent Bu Gandang to go to Bamu Town again, found Ma Teng, and said that he was willing to exchange tea for horses.

Ma Teng is also a well-informed person. He found out Xiao Yeyang's identity not long after the last separation. When he saw Bu Gandang, he was quite enthusiastic. He patted his chest and promised to contact the buyer.

Bu Gandang was very satisfied with Ma Teng's journey, and after thinking about it, he reminded him: "My master values ​​capable people, work hard, and you will benefit in the future."

Ma Teng's heart was hot, and he nodded hastily.

Even though he seemed to be alright in Bamu Town, the pressure he was under was unknown to ordinary people. If he really had his back to Xiao Mansion, the safety of him and his family would be more guaranteed.

The Xiliao people restricted the sale of horses, and Ma Teng contacted a total of three Xiliao merchants for 2,000 horses before they bought them all, which took half a month successively.

Xiao Yeyang still recognized Ma Teng's efficiency in his work, and he gave in and sent him two gold bars to help him inquire about the movements of the people in Xiliao.

Five thousand horses were gathered, and Xiao Yeyang began to concentrate on training cavalry.

In mid-June, after the Ganzhou Textile Factory was selected and construction began, Li Xingnian left with Qin Xiaoliu and others, while Li Chenzhi stayed.

Ganzhou city gate.

Daohua sent Li Xingnian out of the city: "Second uncle, Ye Yang led the cavalry training, and I can't get away to see you off. You have to take more care."

Li Xingnian smiled and said, "Uncle knows, why do you need your explanation."

Daohua handed a package to Li Xingnian: "Second uncle, this is a letter I wrote to my family. In addition to the letter to the Wangfu and Yan's family, there is also a letter to the person in charge of the Xiangyang Liuli Factory in Zhongzhou."

"Next time you come over, I have to trouble you to help bring a team of craftsmen from Liulichang here."

Li Xingnian nodded, put away the package, instructed Li Chenzhi a few words, and then got into the carriage and left.

In late June, as the wheat harvest began, the people of Ganzhou Wei were all excited.

In the past, the wheat yield of good fields was two or three stone per mu. Now, with high-yielding wheat seeds, even low-quality fields can harvest about three stones of grain, and good fields can harvest four or five stones.

Although corn, potatoes, and cotton have not yet been harvested, signs of a bumper harvest can already be seen from the growth of the crops in the fields.

Confirming that high-yielding grains are really useful, many people began to open up wasteland, and those with money went to the guardhouse to buy barren mountains.

Ganzhou Wei set off a wave of land reclamation.

In this regard, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both liked it. The more barren hills and wastelands were reclaimed, the more taxes they would collect in the future.
