At the gate of Ganzhou City, Zhu Jianzhong and Pang Guang rode out side by side, their faces still stained red from drinking too much wine.
After driving for a distance from the city gate, a gust of wind blew by. The two of them shook their heads at the same time, and their minds were completely restored to clarity.
Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang with an uncertain face: "Are we promising Xiao Yeyang something we shouldn't agree to?"
Pang Guang did not answer, but raised his hand and patted his mouth, looking like he was deeply regretful.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Jianzhong didn't understand anything.
Pang Guang said regretfully: "We seem to have been tricked by Xiao Yeyang."
Zhu Jianzhong laughed: "Is it a scam? I don't think we are going to get high-yielding grain crops, right? As long as we survive this year, the soldiers in the guard station will be able to have enough to eat tomorrow."
Pang Guang snorted: "Xiao Yeyang gave us high-yielding grain seeds, but you didn't even look at what he wanted from us. Your Jin Weiwei is okay, he wants two thousand horses, but I Lan Wuwei wants to transfer 20,000 border troops to Ganzhou Guard, and they cannot be old, weak, sick or disabled."
Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang: "Just be satisfied. If you transfer 20,000 border troops to Ganzhou to guard, you don't have to worry about their food. Doesn't this lighten your burden?"
"Lanwuwei does not border Xiliao. Originally, your frontier army was a reserve army. Now that Xiao Yeyang wants to use it, he has also issued a transfer order from the Fifth Army Commander's Office. Don't complain."
As he said that, he paused and looked confused.
"However, isn't Xiao Yeyang already recruiting troops? Why do he still need to mobilize Lan Wuwei's border troops? What is he going to do? And he wants us to keep it a secret?"
Pang Guang remained silent. He actually had some guesses in his heart.
Xiao Yeyang took over the Ganzhou Guard. He definitely wanted to prove his ability.
How to prove it?
Retaking Danhe, which was occupied by the Xiliao people, is definitely the most effective and advantageous attack.
But, does he have the courage?
Now that there is no real war between Xiliao and Daxia, does Xiao Yeyang dare to lead troops to retake Danhe?
When Zhu Jianzhong saw that Pang Guang didn't answer, he didn't say anything more. He turned around and glanced at Mrs. Xiao preparing gifts for them. He shook his head and said: "You have short hands to take advantage of others and a short mouth to eat others. Are we considered to have been won over by Xiao Yeyang?" ?¡±
Pang Guang glanced at Zhu Jianzhong, saw the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, and hummed, "You seem quite happy to me."
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 started to massacre the city. The people of Jinweiwei are living too hard. I have no ability to change their lives." , if others can do it, I will."
Although Zhu Jianzhong didn't say what he was willing to do, Pang Guang knew it in his heart.

Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Yeyang was lying on the beauty chair. Daohua brought him hangover soup. When he took it, he saw that his brows were relaxed and his mouth was smiling. While fanning him, he said: "It seems that you and the two conductors It made the conversation quite good.¡±
After Xiao Yeyang drank the hangover soup, he smiled and said: "It's not bad. I gave them the grain they wanted, and the horses and soldiers I wanted are also here. It's a win-win situation."
Daohua smiled: "I heard from the maid that you gave them a lot of wine, so be careful if they sober up and default on the bill."
Xiao Yeyang laughed: "Do you think people who can sit in the position of commander are so easy to get drunk? They are just following the trend. As soon as we came, those two guys were paying attention. The result today is that they came It¡¯s been weighed before.¡±
As he said that, he sat up.
"Jin Weiwei can provide 2,000 horses, plus what I have in hand, we can raise 3,000 cavalry. The remaining 2,000 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, hugged Daohua and kissed her.
Daohua pushed the person away in disgust. The summer in Ganzhouwei is too hot. The Xiao Mansion didn't prepare any ice this year. She was sweating every day: "You don't mind the heat."
Xiao Yeyang: "I don't mind." As he said that, he reached out to hug the rice flowers again.
Daohua quickly stood up, moved a little away from him, and fanned herself as she said, "I just heard from my second uncle that my third cousin has decided to stay. They made the decision so quickly. Did you say something?"
Xiao Yeyang said ¡®hmm¡¯: ¡°The first batch of businessmen who come to Ganzhou Wei to do business will be given preferential treatment by the Wei Office. I have asked Uncle Dong to formulate relevant regulations.¡±
"Second uncle andOn the third cousin's side, I plan to set aside a piece of wasteland outside the city and let them build a textile factory. It will be called Ganzhou Textile Factory. The uniforms of the border troops and guardsmen will be completed by them. "
Daohua smiled and said: "No wonder my second uncle and third cousin are so active. The support you give is quite big."
Xiao Yeyang: "My second uncle and my third cousin came to Ganzhou to do business. After all, they helped me. Naturally, I won't be stingy."
The next day, the people from Jinwei Guard sent two thousand horses to Ganzhou Guard.
Xiao Yeyang is busy again, busy training cavalry. At the same time, Bu Gandang was also sent to Bamu Town again, where he 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 they separated last time. When he saw Bu Gandang, he was very enthusiastic and promised to contact the buyer.
Bu Gandang was very satisfied with Ma Teng's success. After thinking about it, he gave him a little advice: "My master values ??capable people. Work hard and you will benefit from it in the future."
Ma Teng¡¯s heart was filled with excitement and he nodded hurriedly.
The people of Xiliao restricted the sale of horses. Ma Teng contacted three merchants of Xiliao to buy all 2,000 horses. It took him half a month.
Xiao Yeyang recognized Ma Teng's work efficiency very much, and gave in and sent him two gold bars, asking him to help find out about the people in Xiliao.
With five thousand horses gathered, Xiao Yeyang began to concentrate on training the cavalry.

In mid-June, after the location of the Ganzhou Textile Factory was selected and construction started, 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, Yeyang is leading the cavalry for training. I can't spare my time and come to see you off. Please be patient."
Li Xingnian smiled and said: "Uncle knows, why do you need to explain it to me?"
Daohua handed a package to Li Xingnian: "Second uncle, this is a letter I wrote to my family. In addition to the letters to the Wangfu and the Yan family, there is also one to the person in charge of Zhongzhou Xiangyang Glazed Factory."
¡°Next time you come over, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to help bring a team of craftsmen from Liulichang here.¡±
Li Xingnian nodded, put the package away, gave Li Chenzhi a few words, then got on the carriage and left.

In late June, as the wheat harvest began, the people of Ganzhou Wei became excited.
In the past, the wheat yield of the best fields was only two or three shi per acre. Now, with the use of high-yielding wheat seeds, even the inferior fields can yield about three shi of grain, and the best fields can yield four or five shi.
Although corn, potatoes, and cotton cannot be harvested yet, we can already see signs of a good harvest from the growth of the crops in the fields.
After confirming that high-yield grain seeds are really useful, many people began to open up wasteland, and those with money went to the Weisuo to purchase barren hills.
Ganzhou Wei set off a wave of land reclamation.
" Both Daohua and Xiao Yeyang are happy to see this. The more barren mountains and wasteland are reclaimed, the more taxes will be collected in the future. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
