Chapter 353: Invitation

A total of 500,000 taels of silver, 6,000 pairs of iron armor, and 1,100 pairs of heavy armor were knocked out from the hands of the two enemies. All the guards in Dili were also happy, and the hard work of the long journey had long been washed away by joy. They didn't know the details, but they also said that Gao Yuan was so happy because he was about to marry his wife back home.

He achieved great success with two strokes, which made Gao Yuan happy, but also soberly aware of his own importance in the next battle against Donghu. Otherwise, with the temperaments of Ning Zecheng and Zhou Yuan How could he take the low for the small, and pretend to be happy when he was beaten until he vomited blood.

Now, what Gao Yuan can be sure of is that Zhou Yuan is absolutely focused on defeating Donghu so as to create his own great cause. Therefore, for a guy like himself who has fought against Donghu many times and has made a lot of achievements in battle, he has to use it. In short, if he can't kill himself, he has to pinch his nose and reuse himself, otherwise, if he makes a little trouble, he will have to go around.

As for Ning Zecheng, Gao Yuan is still a little uncertain. This person must also want to defeat Donghu, but his purpose is definitely not as simple as Zhou Yuan. If you think about it a little deeper, this person may want to pick peaches in one fell swoop. The day of success may be the day of his liquidation of Zhou Yuan. Of course, Gao Yuan absolutely believes that among the people Ning Zecheng wants to deal with, he must be regarded as a very important one, but he doesn't know that at that time, he will be the first One is that Zhou Yuan is the first.

This is just a vague feeling, and Gao Yuan is not sure. After all, this guess is too bold. Compared with Ye Tiannan who just returned to Dayan, his heels are not as solid. In their eyes, he was just a little guy, a chess piece that could be manipulated at will, but Zhou Yuan was a colossus. Not only did Zhou Yuan hold a large army, but also the Zhou family and the Ning family were no different. It can be said that it is deeply rooted in Dayan, and the relationship is also intertwined.

Knocking on his head, Gao Yuan sighed, it was still not enough. Don't think about this anymore, the enemy has a thousand ways, and I have my own rules. As long as one's own strength is strong enough, one can make the opponent helpless. The money knocked out from the two enemies this time is enough to bring one's team to another level above the armed forces.

Armor, this was a shackle of the Fufeng Army in the past. Building a pair of armor consumes too much iron material. The iron material consumed by a pair of armor is enough to punch dozens of spear points and a dozen sabers. For Gao Yuan, who has a small capital, it is really not worth the candle. This time, he solved his own big problem.

Now Gao Yuan spends money like water. The little capital saved in the past two years had to be used. When Gao Yuan set off for Langya, he had ordered Cao Tiancheng to retrieve the wealth buried in Juliguan, plus mopping up Lu Liangshan to snatch it back from Feng Fayong. All of them were sent to Jishi Mountain.

There is nothing in Jishi Mountain, and it would cost a lot of money to build a city on flat ground on a blank foundation. Gao Yuan didn't even need to think about it, he knew that it was definitely an astronomical figure.

At Jishi Mountain,

It is the foundation that Gao Yuan built for himself as the foundation of his life, and he would rather spend more money than be sloppy at all. This time, Gao Yuan took out all his money, but it was still too far behind when he thought about it. How pleasant is it to get a large sum of money from his enemy and invest it in his own business? On the day when Jishi City is completed, when he sets up his own banner somewhere, what will Ning Zecheng think if he doesn't know Zhou Yuan? Is there a feeling that you have stabbed yourself?

Thinking about Gao Yuan makes him happy.

Once Jishi City has a certain scale, then everything that belongs to him in Juliguan will turn to where, Fufeng, in the next time, will be slowly hollowed out by himself into an empty shell. It is Gao Yuan's simplest idea that he cannot put his own eggs in other people's baskets.

Sitting in his study, wondering how much Jishi City would cost? Gao Yuan, who was happy for a day, frowned again. Money is never too much, and it is never enough to build a city. In addition to these, there is one more headache for Gao Yuan, that is, the population. To build a city, people need to fill it in. That is his own foundation, not a military stronghold, and there cannot be nothing but soldiers.

My own soldiers are all professional soldiers, unlike other places in Dayan, except for a small number of standing troops, most of them are half farmers and half soldiers. It sounds like a large number, but when fighting, most of them are mobs. When they win, they are unstoppable. Once they fail, they will be defeated like a mountain.

Attracting people to settle near Jishi Mountain is another huge task. The larger the population, the stronger the self-hematopoietic function of Jishi City. What can be used to attract people from the Central Plains to settle in Jishi City? Gao Yuan scratched his head, the current grassland is in chaos, there is not a day without war, ordinary people are afraid to stay away.

Perhaps land is a good way to attract people. There is Jishi Lake on the bank of Jishi Mountain. With water source, the surrounding areas can be easily reclaimed into good farmland. Taking the land only attracts people. As long as people are willing to go, they will donate land, donate livestock, and build houses for free. Gao Yuan touched his chin. Anyway, the large piece of land is not his own, and he doesn't feel bad about giving it to others. Once the land has owners, he can collect taxes from them in a straightforward manner. For the long-term plan, he invested some It should be the capital.

He picked up a pen, wrote his ideas in the letter one by one, and asked people to send them back to Fufeng quickly and hand them over to Chang Shi Jiang Jiaquan. He could think of a way by himself, but how to implement it and some detailed rules of implementation , but he has to worry about it.

Although Gao Yuan is far away from Fufeng, but every two days, there will always be Fufeng's fast horse galloping all the way to report to him the latest situation of Fufeng, and on his side, there are also messengers rushing back every day, on the official road from Liaoxi to Langya. On, his messengers have never been cut off.

Sun Xiao's progress is very fast, which is the most gratifying thing for Gao Yuan. In a short period of time, Sun Xiao has opened up the situation in Jishi Mountain and subdued the Gongsun clan. This guy can finally be entrusted with a big responsibility.

The foundation of Jishi City has been laid, and the city wall has begun to be built. Sun Xiao's work of taking in the exiled slaves on the grassland and recruiting the small tribes or routs of the Xiongnu with their families has been carried out very smoothly. For the Huns, Gao Yuan still has You must be wary, forcibly stipulate that when Sun Xiao recruits these Xiongnu soldiers in Jishi City, he must be accompanied by his family members. As for those lonely people, he must be more careful.

Jishi City will become a multi-ethnic fusion place, but the Central Plains people must account for the majority.

Putting down the pen, drying the ink on the paper, carefully sealing the seal, and was about to call Tie Xuan in, but there was a knock on the door, Tie Xuan appeared outside, "General, Ye Zhen from Ye Mansion is here. "

"Ye Zhen? What is he doing here at this time?" Gao Yuan asked in surprise.

"I don't know, he said he has something important to meet with the general!" Opening the door, Tie Xuan walked in.

Gao Yuan nodded, and handed the letter in his hand to Tie Xuan, "Arrange people immediately, send it back to Fufeng, and hand it to Master Jiang."

"yes!"

"Let Ye Zhen come over!" After tidying up the desk hastily, Gao Yuan continued.

"knew!"

Tie Xuan walked away quickly, Gao Yuan rubbed his chin, what was Ye Zhen doing here at this time? Ye Zhen is among Ye Di, and his status is not low. After Ye Zhong became an official and became the commander of the imperial guards of Yan Wang Ji Ping, Ye Zhen was the first general of the Ye Mansion. He came so late, he must have served his father-in-law Ye Tiannan order.

"I've met my uncle!" Ye Zhen strode into the study room, cupped his fists and bowed to Gao Yuan.

"Is there anything important about coming so late?" Gao Yuan nodded lightly.

"Yes, Young Master, the Patriarch invites you to come over. There is an important person from Jicheng. He wants to see Young Master. He can use his identity, but he cannot openly visit Young Master. Therefore, we can only ask Young Master to move. It's best not to let others know that Young Master has met him in private." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan frowned, "Who is it that makes it so mysterious?"

Although he knew that there was no one else in the room except the two of them, Ye Zhen still looked around and said in a low voice: "Uncle, here are Dayan's internal history Chunyuyan and Tianhe county princess Ji Wugui. "

"Chunyuyan, Ji Wugui?" Gao Yuan opened his mouth wide. He knew Chunyuyan and had met him a few times. He was a master with a brilliant tongue who could bring the dead back to life, and Ji Wugui belonged to the royal family. , Tianhe County is also the royal family's own territory, the largest and richest territory in Dayan, and Jicheng is also included in Tianhe County. Ji Wugui was able to become the princess of Tianhe County, so he was naturally someone who won the trust of King Yan.

"How did they come here?"

"The excuse on the surface is naturally to congratulate the head of the family on marrying a daughter, but they have never had any friendship with my aunt. If someone finds out about the private meeting, it will inevitably cause more trouble, so they want to meet my aunt in private." Ye Zhen said.

They want to see themselves, and they can't say anything. Gao Yuan thought about the inner meaning of this matter in his heart, they should meet with him, they should be ordered by the King of Yan, otherwise there is no need to meet him, it seems that the current King of Yan, Ji Ping, is also very interesting! My husband-in-law Ye Tiannan should be regarded as a royalist through and through. He and Ji Ping have been wandering abroad for ten years, and their relationship should be very good, but is Chunyu Yan really reliable?

"Uncle!" Ye Zhen called out.

"Wait a minute, let's go after I change my clothes!" Gao Yuan stood up and said.
