Chapter 562: Good News
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by. For busy people, time always slips away so fast. It feels like not much has been done yet, and then it is gone.
Gao Yuan had this feeling. From sending Zhou Yuan away to returning to Jishi City, he felt that not much time had passed, but suddenly, it was already March in Yangchun. There was once thick snow inside and outside the city. All turned into spring water, flowing along countless ditches extending like spider webs, nourishing the boundless cultivated fields.
Along the road paved with compacted stones, you can see a layer of green seedlings growing happily in the black soil on both sides of the road. The heavy snowfall last winter not only ensured abundant water resources this spring, but also froze to death. Most of the pests were eliminated, which laid a good foundation for today's bumper harvest. Today's Jishi City is increasing its population every day. It seems that it is thriving and its achievements are gratifying, but all the senior officials of Zhengdong Mansion are very clear. The current Zhengdong Mansion can only take tonics, but it cannot afford laxatives. A poor harvest or a military defeat may wipe out all the hard-earned achievements in the early stage.
The fundamental reason is that Gaoyuan's foundation is too weak. Like Dayan, it suffered a huge defeat in Donghu. It can be said that it was bruised and broken, but in the blink of an eye, it became full of vigor and vitality again.
For several months, the advantages of the centralized county system led by Ji Ling could not be seen, but tens of thousands of well-equipped soldiers had been formed. Through the intelligence sent back by the lone wolf in Jicheng, Zhou Zhou The military training method used by Yu was actually written by himself.
Because of this matter, Jiang Jiaquan complained to himself. Gao Yuan could not argue with it. He also knew that on this point, he could not explain it clearly to people of this era. In his era, everyone knew what it took to practice well. An elite soldier. But not every country can have an elite army.
Gao Yuan was not surprised that his own military training method was adopted by Zhou Yu, but he was really surprised that their salary for soldiers was the same as that of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.
This is truly amazing and generous.
I am different from the Yan State. The Yan State is indeed a big family, but because of this, there are many people who open their mouths to eat. I stay in this place with the number of people I have now. The land can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible. As long as God gives you the favor and you plant it in the spring, there will definitely be a bumper harvest in the autumn, and these grains will basically go back to the big warehouses of Zhengdong Mansion. Li, but the Yan State is different.
It seems that King Yan is really determined to work hard to cure it. Gao Yuan couldn't help but shrugged when he heard that King Yan Ji Ling even auctioned royal supplies in Jicheng Xianyun Tower to raise funds to build the army.
Ji Ling's move can kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it can win the hearts of the people. Secondly, even if the things he took out were worthless, they would probably fetch a good price. these past few months.
Tan Feng's attacks were fierce, and many nobles had their homes confiscated and exterminated. There were definitely many people who wanted to join in and show their sincerity to the royal family. I think Ji Ling has raised a lot of funds now.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little jealous. This is the difference between tall, rich, handsome and short, poor. In the previous life, there was a guy named Ma Yun who drew an incomprehensible pancake fruit and sold it for more than two million yuan. Ah, I'm afraid that a professional painter who has studied art for decades can't even sell a painting for 20,000 yuan after working hard, but he is very much like Ji Ling and himself now. Every time he earns You have to rack your brains for just one penny!
Maybe, do an auction yourself and see if you can make some money!
Gao Yuan touched his nose, maybe his reputation is worth a lot of money! But thinking about it more deeply, I couldn't help but shake my head. Who are the richest people in Jishi City? Most of them are merchants from Four Seas Trading, but these merchants are just guys who make money for themselves. It seems too unkind to try to trick them.
He sent Zhou Yuan all the way back with a courtesy. He originally wanted Zhou Yuan to return to Jicheng to compete with Ji Ling Tan Feng and the others in the ring, and mess up the situation in Jicheng. He didn't expect Zhou Yuan to lose, but he was a little disappointed with the defeat. Frustrated, he actually lost the desire to compete again. When Zhou Yu stopped him in Tianhe County, and after the two talked for a night, Zhou Yuan returned directly from Tianhe County to Fenzhou. Immediately, opinions on how to deal with Zhou Yuan came from Jicheng.
Deprived of all official positions, titles, and fiefs, he was sent back to his original home. The nobles of the Yan Kingdom, who originally hoped that Zhou Yuan could come back and lead them to fight again, saw Zhou Yuan return to Fenzhou dejectedly without saying a word, and they all immediately became silent and calm.
Although Zhou Yuan was a bit overjoyed, there was no doubt that he was truly loyal to the Yan State. His withdrawal put Gao Yuan's plans in jeopardy.
However, Gao Yuan is not too disappointed. He didn't have much hope at first. It was just a casual move. As long as Zhou Yuan is still alive, some people will still have hope in their hearts, and others will also have a thorn in their hearts. Maybe the time is right. The root thorns will take root and sprout, playing an unexpected role.
A dead Zhou Yuan is far less useful to Gao Yuan than a living Zhou Yuan. What's more, Gao Yuan also received an unexpected surprise. Since Zhou Yuan agreed to contact him on the issue of dealing with the Qi Navy, then he Then he also began to arrange another chess piece, which would be of great benefit whether it was to deal with the Donghu people in the future, or to deal with the Qi people in the further future.
Or maybe this is just a gap, and maybe there will be room for further utilization in the future!
Thinking of the proud place, I couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing? You finally came out with me, and now you are thinking about your own thoughts and ignoring others!" A coquettish voice came from beside him, awakening Gao Yuan from his thoughts, turned his head, and Seeing Ye Jing'er staring, pouting, pinching Gao Yuan's arm with her little hands, she wanted to twist it hard to release the breath, but the muscles on Gao Yuan's arm were as hard as iron. With the strength of her hands, she couldn't twist it. , it was a waste of energy, but it only tickled Gao Yuan.
"I was thinking about some official matters and I was distracted for a moment. I'm sorry." Gao Yuan chuckled and put his arms around Ye Jing'er. "I don't want to think about it anymore. I will go on an outing with you wholeheartedly."
"Really? Thinking about business so much that you laughed out loud?" Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan suspiciously, and suddenly said: "Maybe you are thinking about sister Helan, right?"
"Where is that?" Gao Yuan cried out loudly, "I was really thinking about business, but I just thought of some proud things and started laughing."
"It's okay to think about it!" Seeing Gao Yuan's appearance, Ye Jing'er comforted him, "During this period, Sister Helan has been helping to prepare for the construction of the Military Academy. She has been so busy that she has not touched the ground. It's been a long time since we last met. Come on, find a time to invite her to the house and have a meal together."
Gao Yuan stared at Ye Jing'er, a little unsure of the other party's intention, "The military university is going to set up a special cavalry teaching department. She has always been the cavalry instructor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, so naturally she will be responsible for this. But she’s very busy now, so let’s forget it.”
Ye Jing'er sighed: "Hey, everyone in Jishi City is busy. I am the only one who has nothing to do. Look at Sister Helan. She is beautiful and has great martial arts skills. You are the only one who has nothing to do." The cavalry instructors of Dongfu are both talented and beautiful, and have made numerous meritorious deeds..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The more Gao Yuan listened, the more uncomfortable he became, "My dear Jing'er, your words are as sour as if a jar of vinegar has been spilled. Fortunately, there are only you and me here. If the two of you are heard by others, it will damage the image of your wife. Besides, there is no comparison between Yanzi and you. She is that kind of person, but you are another type, completely incompatible. Well, when it comes to meritorious service, Yanzi has made a lot of achievements, but compared to your current meritorious service, it is completely inferior. "
Directly interrupting Ye Jing'er's words, Gao Yuan walked away with a smile and rubbed his hand on Ye Jing'er's belly, "Didn't you see that Jiang Jiaquan, Wu Kai, and Cao Tiancheng, when they heard the news that you were pregnant? ”
Ever since Ye Jing'er learned about the little secret between Gao Yuan and He Lanyan, and Ye Jing'er graciously accepted He Lanyan, and took the initiative to make Gao Yuan and He Lanyan enter into an engagement, Gao Yuan has been very fond of Ye Jing'er. Ye Jing'er felt apologetic. During that period, she was naturally very careless and attentive. Half a month ago, Ye Jing'er felt unwell and suffered from pantothenic acidosis and vomiting. After Qiu Debao, the best doctor in Jishi City, diagnosed her pulse, it caused a sensation for everyone. Everyone in Jishi City was naturally overjoyed at the good news of sex, and Ye Jing'er also let out a sigh of relief.
"Sister Helan can't bear children for you in the future!" She was happy in her heart, but refused to let go of Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan was speechless, and finally raised his hands to surrender, "Jing'er, let's not talk about this, okay? I finally found time to go outing with you. You, you always talk about these things, and you are not afraid that these sour words will affect your children in the future. It’s your fault to be a petty child after giving birth.”
"That's all nonsense!" Ye Jing'er chirped: "How can I be so petty?"
"Of course, my wife is the most generous wife in the world, the most beautiful woman, and will be the most beautiful mother in the future!" Gao Yuan laughed loudly, whipped his whip, and the carriage accelerated slightly and ran forward.
In order to take care of Ye Jing'er, Gao Yuan specially selected two docile horses and hitched them to a flatbed truck, which was covered with thick cushions. He drove the car himself and accompanied Ye Jing'er out for an outing. The pregnant woman, Naturally, I want to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. (To be continued,!
