Chapter 107: Congratulations from all directions (Part 1 and 2, two chapters in one) Wang Hua looked at Li Chiying and said, "You and I will go out hunting" Li Chiying raised her head, she knew the hunting was fake Yes, I want to ease her mind. He shook his head and said: "Erlang, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." "Not only for this, there is another thing." Another thing? Li Chiying thought strangely. He had no choice but to mount his horse and leave Lingzhou City under the protection of a group of guards. Outside Lingzhou City is a field of golden, yellow mature crops that are about to be harvested. In the distance are golden mountains, yellow chrysanthemums, and the yellow Gobi Desert. This piece of yellow stretches all the way to the horizon, with the joy of harvest and the arrival of sadness. Wang Hua rode on the horse and gave a wink. The guards immediately retreated behind. Wang Hua said: "Little princess, I just learned that Mr. Zhu and others intend to praise you as the mistress of the eight states." Li Chiying Embarrassed, he whispered: "This matter has nothing to do with me. It is Mr. Zhu and the others who are in charge." "No matter who is in charge, you don't have to worry. I don't mind, but you are not prepared to do this." The mistress of the land, and even nearly four million people in the distant territory?" Wang Hua returned to Lingzhou and immediately shifted his focus from military to civilian use. Without an economic foundation or a mass foundation, there is no need to talk about any great cause. In the end, at most it will be Huang Chao and become a powerful bandit. So a series of orders were issued, first of all, the areas under jurisdiction were re-divided. Liuhu Prefecture is now vast and sparsely populated, but it has the convenience of Nanhetao. Once the entire irrigation system matures, it will be the second Yinchuan. Of course, this requires strong military support, otherwise they will live in the shadow of the Turks or other nomadic people in the north at any time. At the same time, it is also very important to manage this desert. The Yellow River does no harm to any, but the Hetao has only one treasure. Even now, it is not like later, more than half of the area from the Great Wall to the Yellow River was desert, and the rest was the Gobi Desert, with less than ten percent of the cultivated land. one. Therefore, Liuhu Prefecture was divided into two parts, still Changzhou and Kuangzhou, plus Shengzhou and Linzhou, and was given to Zhang Xiaosong to be in charge of military and civil affairs. The position was not mentioned, but it was actually the position of governor in the Tang Dynasty. Then Dongshoujiang City and Yinshan County were separated from Shengzhou and re-divided into Yinshan Prefecture. This area is also not small, and there are almost no deserts and Gobi Desert, but it is sparsely populated. In the final analysis, the reason for this is because of the north. It was caused by the repeated invasions of nomadic tribes heading south. Feng Changqing was appointed to govern these two states. However, because he was a little younger, several helpers were sent to assist. To the south are Yinzhou, Xiazhou and Yanzhou, which are handed over to the veteran Wang Jun. It is not far from Taiyuan from here. At any rate, he is considered to be most of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Therefore, it was left to him to manage. Jishishan in the south followed Mo Heqian's suggestion and was divided into two states, Chuihe and Jishishan. The area was a bit large, but it had already been divided. Wang Hua originally wanted to divide it into three states, so he had to give up. In addition, Kuozhou and Shanzhou were handed over to Xiao Song. From this point, we can see that Wang Hua attaches great importance to Songsong and Zhang Xiaosong. Xiao Song, in particular, not only managed four states, but also had to guard against the Tibetans. He had the greatest responsibility among all the nominal governors. At the same time, from Hezhou to Lanzhou, Huizhou, and Linzhou, Moheqian was still under unified command. Of course, these four states are the choke points of the eight states, which also shows that Wang Hua attaches great importance to Mo Heqian. But no one objected to this. Without Mohegan, there would be no Blood Camp today. The two prefectures of Taodie were given to Zhang Shougui, the two prefectures of Mindang were given to Guo Zhiyun, and Yuanzhou was given to Xue Song. But the military focus was still on Jishi Mountain. Even with the artillery support from the Blood Camp, the Tibetans still did not withdraw their troops. However, due to heavy losses in several strong attacks, they changed to harassment tactics, and sent a large number of Bailan tribe and Tyuhun people who grew up in Bailan tribe to Dafeichuan to carry out rebellion, which made Guo Yuanzhen miserable. It was not until most of the Blood Camp returned that the Tubo began to withdraw their troops, but there were still 50,000 troops left from Zishan to Bailan. This is supported. From Zishan to Jishi, there is the Yellow River and some small tributaries, which can be used for grazing and farming. However, the altitude is higher. For the Tang army, it is very difficult to adapt to the weather reaction here. Therefore it can be attacked or defended. Not only did they send scouts to Dafeichuan, but they also sent scouts to Jishi Mountain. However, there are not many roads over Jishi Mountain, only three or four, and they are extremely difficult. The blood camp also took over the pass, forming a A condescending attitude. Therefore, the focus was on Dafeichuan. Guo Yuanzhen specially found Wang Hua. Although he had been fighting for a lifetime, he had seen plains and deserts before, and a high-altitude snowfield like this was really unfamiliar. Wang Hua looked at the map and asked: "Mr. Guo, do you know??What is the situation in Tubo now? ¡± The plague in Tubo originally caused many people and livestock to die, especially Tuyuhun, which dealt a serious blow to Tubo. But since last year, the ordeal has finally gotten better. The rebellions in the south, especially the Nibolu rebellion, have gradually been put down. This It was Wang Hua and Guo Yuanzhen who acted in time, otherwise it would be very difficult to capture this place next year when the situation is stable. So Wang Hua said again: "That's right, it's not very difficult for them to draw out 50,000 soldiers now. But the recent rebellion, plague, and several defeats against us. It caused great damage to the vitality of the Tubo people. It will take at least two years for them to get better. There is no problem with these 50,000 soldiers, but the logistics allow them to send 50,000 soldiers, which is already the limit. Why do we need to consume this? " "You mean it's cold? " "That's why the Tubo people are not suitable for fighting in hot weather, so they once attacked the Yamauna River and the Jia River, which are the richest places in Tianzhu, but they finally withdrew. Therefore, after a period of time, the weather cooled down, and our army was not used to it. Especially in another two or three months, when the snow was flying and the wind was as strong as a knife, in contrast, there would be a serious ups and downs. Especially your Dafeichuan, if you use your own army, it will definitely not be the opponent of the opponent. If you use the Tyuhun people, you will not worry. Nine times out of ten, all of Dafeichuan will be lost. In fact, not much. As long as key points such as Wuhai City are captured, Tubo will become condescending. Under severe losses, Dafeichuan will change its position at any time. " Guo Yuanzhen frowned worriedly. Wang Hua still had nothing to say. " In the final analysis, the nobles of Tuyuhun had close contacts with the Tubo people. However, except for the eradication of some nobles when they started, half of the nobles, in order to save time and consumption, Allow them to maintain their original rights and surrender, and they must keep their word, otherwise there will be no way to govern this place in the future. It is like the demon Pei Xingjian used Cao Cao's strategy to deal with Ma Chao, and made them fight against each other. They killed him brutally, and then captured him with a large army, forcing Ashina Fu Nian to surrender. However, Pei Xingjian allowed him not to die, but after being taken to the capital, Pei Yanji killed all 54 people in Ashina Fu Nian's party. How intelligent is this monster? Not only is he highly intelligent, but his ability to recognize people is unparalleled in the world. Famous generals such as Cheng Wuting, Zhang Qianxu, Wang Fangyi, Liu Jingtong, Hei Te Changzhi, and even Li Duozuo were all promoted by him from among ordinary generals. But Pei Huo was so angry that he only said one sentence: "Hun Jun strives for merit, which is a shame in ancient and modern times, but he is afraid of being killed and surrendered, and there will be no return. " Kai Chong's struggle for wealth and Hun Jun's struggle for merit both originated from the Western Jin Dynasty. Shi Chong and Wang Kai's absurd struggle for wealth is famous all over the world. Hun Jun's struggle for merit refers to Wang Hun and Wang Jun. Wang Hun fought well, and so did The commander-in-chief of the attack on Wu, Wang Jun, was a subordinate of Wang Hun. Perhaps because he did not know the reality of his opponent, or for other reasons, he did not cross the river to attack Jiankang, the capital of Soochow. Instead, he asked his subordinate Wang Jun to go down the river from Sichuan. There was no resistance on the way, and he rushed directly to the gate of Jiankang City. Emperor Sun Hao of Soochow surrendered to him. Wang Hun felt very depressed. He was obviously his subordinate, and I was on the bank of the Yangtze River. Why did he attack without my consent? Jiankang? In fact, it was mainly because he didn't take the credit, and he felt uncomfortable. Of course, Wang Jun's ignorance made a great contribution, and it was also because Wang Hun separated the troops of Soochow, so Wang Hun's lawsuit fell into the hands of Sima Yan. Wang Jun also felt aggrieved. He had no time to report to you, so he kept complaining. For a while, the two famous generals were full of ugliness. Of course, they both received high rewards. Later, Wang Jun asked his adviser Fan Tong to say. Come on, think about Lin Xiangru back then, but this incident and Kaichong's fight for wealth will never be erased, and then his illness really caused a series of things. General, if he directly kills these nobles, this area will be in greater trouble. If he has Wang Hua's money, there are countless ways to solve it, so he has no choice but to let these nobles continue to control Dafeichuan. People have a lot of say in order to caress them. But no matter how gentle they are, this group of people is still a pack of wolves, a pack of restless wolves, so Guo Yuanzhen has a headache when he thinks of this, he said: "Do you have that artillery?" "This thing is good. Although the quantity is small, it has made a big contribution in this war. If it weren't for these dozen artillery pieces, the Tubo people would be frightened. There would be no need to wait for the return of the main force of Wang Huaxue Battalion, Wuhai City and other checkpoints The city will be lost. But Wang Hua has the wrong idea, and he wants to ask me for something again. He is from the wrong angle, and his thoughts are different. Wang Hua also has a powerful weapon in his hand. Can I ask for one?The thing is, even if it reduces the casualty of one soldier, it is good. But Wang Hua can't be so soft-spoken. Not only Dafeichuan, but also Tuqishi and other tribes in the Western Regions rebel and surrender at times. If they all require me to support supplies and soldiers, I will also be unable to bear it. He immediately brought Guo Yuanzhen to a workshop. Oceania still doesn¡¯t know if it is the effect Wang Hua needs, and continues to experiment and improve it, because according to Wang Hua¡¯s requirements, there is still a long way to go. Therefore, there was production, but the quantity was small, because Song Wen saw its role in siege and needed labor. Where to find people, only the Japanese people had the most people, but the people on the seaside had almost been captured, and if they wanted to capture more, they would have to march to the land. , or attack the city. Therefore, dozens of artillery pieces were continued to be produced and placed on ships to capture the Japanese. Wang¡¯s paintings just wanted to beg for them. They came and went, and they couldn¡¯t be shipped to eight states in less than half a year. This is pretty fast. Besides, Oceania is his foundation. For example, how much did he spend during this period? His account book is a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely not less than 10 million yuan. Without this foundation and relying on eight states, how could he gain a foothold? Don't let three strong enemies overwhelm the territory. Even if one powerful enemy overwhelms the territory, you won't be able to survive. For this reason alone, these artillery pieces will not be separated. But I brought the drawings and various data. With these things, I can manufacture them in Lingzhou. We don¡¯t want to think about heavy artillery. We must have casting technology and steel, which is not possible in Lingzhou now. However, both small guns can be mounted. It turns out that there are not that many blacksmiths in the eight states, so Wang Hua recruited a group of them, paid a lot of money, recruited a group of blacksmiths from other states, and trained a group of them. ???These blacksmiths were not used to make *pipes, but to make iron tools. There is a serious iron shortage in the eight states. In fact, there are iron ore resources, but there is no time to discover them, so the captured inferior iron armor is re-melted to make iron tools. Moreover, now that people are returning to farming, more iron tools are needed. After making peace with the Tang Dynasty, they also made a series of transactions with the imperial court, exchanging armor and weapons for iron. Zhang said he couldn't laugh or cry after seeing these weapons and armor, because many of them were produced in the Tang Dynasty. But it's useless to say this now. How can we get the food back from Wang Huahu's mouth? And Wang Hua didn't open his mouth too much. According to the pros and cons, he exchanged one to two to three. This saves a lot of money compared to rebuilding armor and weapons. What's more, many of these armors are from the Tubo people and the Turks. Seeing these armors and weapons reminds me of the impressive achievements of the Blood Camp in the past few months. But the amount was not large, and the high-quality armor and weapons were kept by themselves to support Guo Yuanzhen. As for the Tibetan bows and arrows, they were given to the imperial court, but the imperial court would not want them. This is all back. There are also leather armors, which are automatically changed to leather products. Tang Jun is not interested in leather armors now. Unless Wang Hua uses the crocodile skin shipped from Oceania. With the money paid by the court, he continued to purchase a large amount of pig iron and other important materials. So what Zhang Jiazhen said is wrong. The money came from the imperial court and was returned to the imperial court. However, it was moved from the treasury to the hands of businessmen and ordinary people. A small half can also be returned to the treasury in the form of tariffs. Another result was unprecedented economic prosperity from the Wei River Basin to Lanzhou. From the beginning of July to mid-August, the pensions delivered by the imperial court were all shipped, but the materials purchased by the blood camp were still continuously mobilized to the eight states. For example, the number of horse-drawn carriage shops in Weizhou City suddenly increased tenfold, and the workshops for making horse-drawn carriages were in operation almost day and night. The most important material among them is pig iron. With pig iron and blacksmiths, we began to forge gun barrels, but it took a long time to refine them into steel. So far, three hundred blacksmiths have started hammering, and they have only produced about 20 incomplete gun barrels and another 20 gun barrels. Continue to build. In other words, hundreds of blacksmiths, plus related workers, will reach more than 100 people. When the weather really cools down, it will take three to four months to use 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of pig iron. The most optimistic approach can only produce Forty or fifty small guns. After this data was listed, Guo Yuanzhen fell silent. I thought in my heart, this and that are cannons, golden cannons. Not necessarily a gold cannon, but it will definitely cost more than pure silver. In fact, this is Wang Hua's striving for perfection. Is it really useless after fifty refinements? If all firearms were built like this, the number of firearms in the Ming Dynasty would be reduced by nine-tenths. Of course, there is still a clear difference in the quality of the results. Later, Wang Hua said something again that made Guo Yuanzhen stop thinking again. He said: "And in cold weather or rainy days, the effectiveness of this kind of artillery will be seriously reduced." Wang Hua looked at his depressed look and also I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m really depressed or fake. But whether this person is cunning or treacherous, he still does it for the country, but he is not stupid and loyal. Why must he love the country like Yue Fei? Isn¡¯t it possible to be both patriotic and harmonious? So he said: "It's not that there is no way, if you have something??Loyal subordinate, I can also teach you a method, maybe when winter comes, you will achieve great results again. " Guo Yuanzhen's soldiers are a bit complicated. They include the imperial army. The generals of these armies are constantly changing and the personnel are complex. There are also mixed coalition forces from various ministries in the Western Regions. So when Li Dan and Li Longji thought of a group of available soldiers, they automatically included Guo Yuanzhen's soldiers. The subordinates were excluded. Guo Yuanzhen patted his chest and said, "Yes. " "If it is true, where can you go to Ge Shuhan? But this is a surprise weapon and must not be leaked. " Guo Yuanzhen arrived at Ge Shuhan's side and was training on the top of some snow-less mountains in Jishi Mountain and Xiqing Mountain to prevent avalanches. Of course, they are heavily guarded. In fact, in winter, the Tubo people have the advantage of being cold-resistant , can withstand the plateau climate, and the war horses are also cold-resistant horses. But when the weather gets cold, the Tubo people can only use straight swords if they want to fight. Don't count on the refined Zhang arrows of the Tang Dynasty. In this snowy field, in winter. , also loses its power. This is also an opportunity. In the past few months, training on high-altitude snowy mountains is to adapt to this kind of altitude sickness, but the training object is not horse riding, but sledding. Don¡¯t look at Tubo. Horses are hardy to the cold. Once winter comes, there will be thick snow from Dafichuan to Jishi Mountain, and horses cannot run faster. They can only run faster than humans. However, sleds do not have this disadvantage, and they are prepared at the same time. Special iron spears, also known as javelins. The quality of the Tibetan armor is very good, but when the weather gets cold, these armors are not so much steel as pig iron, and this special pointed triangular javelin will become brittle. It is the most ferocious murder weapon. Wang Hua didn't explain much. Guo Yuanzhen's eyes lit up when he saw it. This kind of javelin requires only a few kilograms of good wood and is cut into a stick. The material requirements in front are more stringent. One point, it must be sharp, but there are not many iron materials. With the scope of my jurisdiction, it is not difficult to build this javelin head. I got the benefit and returned to Lingzhou again to give a gift, a pair of dragon stallions. Congratulations on Wang Hua's wedding. But this battle may be due to the two people working together, and Wang Hua is not focused on it. His main focus is on civil affairs and the upcoming changes in the court. Another person was about to arrive. Li Chiying did not dare to answer. Wang Hua said again: "Little princess, do you know why Confucius said that one can cultivate one's family and govern the country? " "I know this. Without good moral cultivation and talent, you will not be able to do great things. Without a harmonious family, we cannot be distracted from doing big things. Therefore, you must first cultivate your character, then manage your family, and then govern your country and bring peace to the world. But Erlang, I am not jealous of Miss Wang. And I also know that my situation is a bit complicated and you still have to consider it. "Little princess, you have grown up," Wang Hua stroked her hair with an ambiguous movement. However, the relationship between the two people is now only separated by a layer of window paper, so this intimate gesture is not too much. "But this is just the duty of an ordinary wife. What kind of responsibility does a matron have? A virtuous mistress not only calms her husband's family affairs, but also contributes to her husband, such as Empress Deng of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, Empress Yin of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lonely of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and Empress Changsun of Emperor Taizong. But what about another mistress? Li Ji of Duke Xian of Jin, Zhao Feiyan of Emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, Zhao Xin of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Jia Nanfeng of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, and the current Queen Wei. " "I don't want to be a mistress anymore. "Wang Hua said this, which scared Li Chiying. "Don't worry, no one is perfect. Queen Loneliness does not allow her husband to have an affair with any woman, while Queen Changsun encourages Taizong to go to other concubines and not favor one over the other. . But the advantages of lonely queens cannot be denied, and you don¡¯t have to learn from them. I also know Mr. Zhu¡¯s intention. I've actually thought about this too. There are several of you, and when it comes to the safety of the guard alone, no one can control Mr. Xue. " Li Chiying nodded. Not only that, among all the women, only Li Xuejun cared about her the most. " Being good at economics makes me not worry about money. No one likes Li Hong. " Wang Hua does not use family money, and every expense is very shocking. If Li Hong did not manage Wang Hua's finances reasonably, there would be Oceania supporting him from behind, and there would be many industries that would bring huge benefits to Wang Hua's economy. There will also be big problems. This made Li Chiying feel ashamed. "In other words, none of you have the foresight and foresight of Miss Mu. Even if you are noble, you are not as good as Bao'er." Having said this, Wang Hua lost his mind for a moment. Shangguan Xiaowan's letter has not yet been delivered to him, so Wei Shi's words left a shadow in his heart, This made him often feel unhappy when he thought about it. ¡°If we talk about tutoring, even if you and Guoer were born in a deep palace, there is no Taiyuan.The Wang family's education is strict. But why did I choose you in the end? " "Because of the blood camp soldiers, many people are familiar with me. " "This is just one thing. In terms of familiarity alone, Mr. Zhu is more familiar with Wang Han. Why did he take the lead in choosing you? " Li Chiying shook her head. In fact, she knew some of the reasons, such as identity. No matter how hard Li Hong and Muzi Li worked, their identities were destined to be at a disadvantage in this competition. But she was also familiar with Wang Hua as a person. , he was born in a poor family, and he resented people using his background to talk about things. Of course, there was another reason, but she was not sure. Only with her could Wang Hua get rid of some suspicions of treason. Well, she didn¡¯t support her third brother and her father because of her status, so she wasn¡¯t sure if it was this reason. ¡°There are two other reasons. The first one is because you have a pure mind, Li Xuejun is too light-hearted, Miss Mu and Li Hong are too strong-minded, and Li Guoer is too arrogant. Only you and Wang Han are simple-minded and can relieve me of many worries. But the competition between you has another reason that puts Wang Han at a disadvantage. After all, you are from a royal family, and even though the people of Oceania moved there due to poverty, this orthodoxy is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Mr. Zhu favors you. " In fact, Wang Hua would never have said this sentence more than a year ago. After all, at that time, his ideas were still influenced by his previous life, and he emphasized love and freedom of marriage. But after his frustration, he was burdened with With the happiness and safety of millions of people, and even the happiness and safety of tens of millions of people a few years later, he had to consider more practical things. After he first learned about this matter, he had no choice but to make decisions about Zhu Dian. A little unhappy. But after thinking about it, he agreed to Zhu Tong's choice. At this point, he said meaningfully: "Since Mr. Zhu and others want to make you the mistress of millions of people in the eight states and Oceania. , then you must learn to think from my perspective and the perspective of these millions of people. " Li Chiying originally wanted to say that I didn't dare, but that day represented Wang Hua's condolences to the thousands of Zhaowu people who went on an adventure. Although he did not succeed in the end, he did this symbolic act. Even eight Most of the people in the state knew about this. After that incident, these people looked at her with more respect, which also proved the impact of this incident. She lowered her head and continued: " Logically speaking, you and I have been stalling for a long time. Now that I have done all kinds of rebellious things, I don't mind what system the court has. Don't call me a princess, you are all princesses. I also dare to marry you back. "This is also true. "But why only marry Wang Han and not you? I believe that if I propose marriage in an honest and upright manner, your father will also agree to it, even though he will use this relationship to make some tricks. " "Erlang, the matter has passed, and you have reconciled with the Taiyuan Wang family. Can you forgive my father? " "I don't blame him, but will he just let me go? "Wang Hua smiled bitterly. But he didn't want to get entangled in this matter and continued: "Let me ask another question. Why didn't I hold Wei Dang accountable? " "I know this, because the people of the eight states have suffered heavy sacrifices due to the long-term war and need to recuperate. There is a lack of supplies, such as food, iron, medicinal materials, and various other equipment, and the trade routes are blocked due to the war, which is not good for the development of the eight states. Therefore, this period of peace is needed to ease the heavy burden of the eight states. " "But if I marry you, what will happen? " Li Chiying suddenly realized that if she married herself, the queen would definitely think that Wang Hua had tipped the balance to his father, so she would have no choice but to fight to the death with Wang Hua. She would not care about the safety of the country. In the end, the Tang Dynasty collapsed, and the eight states also collapsed. This gave the queen hope and made her think that the Princess Anle card in her hand could seduce Wang Hua. She said, "I understand. " Wang Hua knew that she had achieved her goal. Otherwise, she said she didn't mind, but she was still uneasy in her heart. " She continued to say meaningfully: "I have to learn to think in the future." Also, since you are pure, continue to be pure to the end. I don¡¯t want the jealousy you had in the past few years to happen again. Each of you is equally important in my heart. " After eliminating the misunderstanding in her heart, Li Chiying really had a happy smile on her face this time. "This is the little princess I want to see," Wang Hua thought of her naughty and mischievous appearance when she was a child, and a knowing look appeared on her face as well. Smile. Then he said: "I hope that each of you will be happy following me and smile every day, otherwise I would rather suffer short-term pain than long-term pain and refuse this marriage. " "Um. " "ThenLet's go hunting. " They took Li Chiying to hunt for a while. This was also what Wang Hua forced them to do. Among the women, Li Chiying and Wang Han were not in good health. Therefore, Wang Hua encouraged them to go out often to exercise and exercise. " Two wild animals were shot. Rabbits, and two pheasants, with long and beautiful tails, one is not dead yet, this is a beautiful red-bellied male horned pheasant, staring at Wang Hua with its small eyes, making a sad cry, Li Chiying said pitifully : "Let go. " Released, looking at the bow and arrow on its belly, still stained with blood, how can this released survive? Wang Hua asked Li Chiying to say that he lost interest in hunting and went to the homes of nearby people. Now Bazhou has begun to have income. , the biggest income is porcelain, which can be taken to the food by merchants as long as they are mounted, and it can bring immediate profits. However, due to the war, the losses are very serious. When the harvest season comes, although it may not catch up with the cane sugar, it will. For the current demand for sugar, it is also a huge income. Bamboo paper has only been moved for a year, and the output is very small. Wang Hua does not want to fish in dry areas, so the income is also not large. However, this income has allowed more people to see the future, as well as their own income in the eight states, such as animal husbandry, and some of their own specialties. Once the roads are repaired, there will be another income. Wang Hua brought in a large number of people with subsidies and settled down. Wang Hua began to develop the brick-burning and tile industry. These bricks and tiles were delivered to the people for free so that they could build new houses. Of course, it would be easier to manage only after they settled down. This allowed them to focus on farming instead of thinking about how to drive cattle and sheep to that pasture for grazing. It would be unrealistic for them to build houses at their own expense. At the same time, the arrival of a large number of prisoners of war made construction difficult. A large number of roads, not only in the eight states, but also in other newly conquered states, have also begun to be built, including Fengzhou Yinshan. These roads provide conditions for transporting construction materials. But on the other hand, Wang Hua began to collect taxes. Taxation is necessary. Without a complete tax, the population is increasing and it is unrealistic to pay for it yourself. At the same time, it is mainly Fanhu. If we don¡¯t start it now, it will become a habit in the future, just like Liuhuzhou Hu. Like people, it will be very difficult to tax again. Now we subsidize and tax at the same time, and no one objects to it, but this tax has become a convention. This tax is not a small number. Zhu Tong has calculated it. , the 23 states within the territory can collect nearly 2 million yuan in taxes. Plus the four major industries, Wang Hua accounts for almost half of the share, and there will be nearly 2 million yuan in tax revenue next year. And the income of the industry may double. In other words, by next year, Wang Hua will not have a war like this year. Even if it takes in a large number of refugees, there will be a lot of surplus. Of course, there will be no discount this year, no matter what. The government's "pension" cannot be used up, but Wang Hua knows that the prospect is slightly more optimistic than Zhu Tong thought. Once the situation stabilizes, the people will become rich, which will create strong domestic demand and bring about chain consequences. A positive reaction. But what will happen next year? Right now, there is another important thing that will cost a lot of money. The people who are coming to settle down from the Turks and Tibetans will once again have millions of dollars. The cost. After looking at the people, Wang Hua was very satisfied with the situation. After reading it, Wang Hua returned to his house. The house is very lively now. Twenty-three states heard that Wang Hua got married, and everyone from the clan chiefs, businessmen, wealthy families, and soldiers sent gifts. Countless gifts were piled up in several large houses. Li Hong sent people to clean and arrange them from time to time. Otherwise, their mansion would no longer be inhabited and would only be filled with gifts. This made Li Hong and Mu Zili very happy. When they held their wedding to Wang Hua, it had never been so lively. Of course, this was a joke to Wang Han. In the original form, Wang Hua was an official in the court, and Li Guo'er watched eagerly from the side. Their concubines were not like concubines, and their concubines were not like concubines. Wang Hua was able to hold an unusual wedding regardless of the criticism from the court. In this era, he was very kind to them. The situation is different now. Wang Hua has become a veritable king of the northwest. There are many people fawning over him and many people begging him. This is not a celebration, but a matter of wooing and fawning. There will never be more than one-third of the people who actually come to celebrate the New Year. There are some tribes who have received great favors from Wang Hua, such as the Dangxiang ministries, the soldiers of the Blood Camp, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and people related to them, but others different. Even the two dragon stallions sent by Guo Yuanzhen also meant impurity. This wedding was lively and lively, but the element of show was very heavy. In comparison, Wang Hua??Their simple wedding was more like a wedding. Even Wang Hua's marriage to Li Xuejun in Qinzhou was harassed. They were deliberately complaining, so Wang Han could only blush and beg for mercy softly. However, in order to "punish", Li Hong bought Wang Han a separate house. Before the wedding, the bride had to avoid suspicion. Wang Han had no choice but to move to the new house. However, the wedding date is set for the eighth day of September, the day before the Double Ninth Festival, and this time is coming soon. In fact, the Wang family in Taiyuan was very grateful after hearing this. After all, there were more and more visitors, and they were not separated, which was inconsistent with the strict family tradition of the Wang family in Taiyuan. But they themselves did not dare to speak. Li Hong took the initiative to save face for them. But Wang Hua knew that among the greeters, the real boss had not yet appeared. But when he returned home, an unexpected boss appeared for the first time. It was a gift from Mochui, which also shows that Mochui is well-informed. Although the news will be known to him sooner or later, he lives on the bank of the Silun River, and how quickly he got the news and delivered the gift so quickly. quick. Two bear skins, a tiger skin, and a pair of falcons. The gift is not much, but it still expresses "sincerity". Wang Hua personally entertained the envoy. Zhang Fuzhi went to Turks, but due to the long distance, he has not returned yet. Wang Hua asked Zhang Fuzhi about the status of the negotiations. The envoy respectfully replied: "Our Great Khan has agreed to your envoy's proposal and decided to exchange one hundred thousand people for our Turkic warriors. These people are being transferred and will arrive at Yinshan soon. In addition, our Great Khan I brought a message, saying that you need to rest now, and we Turks need to rest, so we hope to have good relations with the northwest. " One hundred thousand people is not ideal. According to the ratio, one to seven is less than one. Moreover, countless Tang Dynasty people were captured by the Turks one after another. Just this time, there were 60,000 to 70,000 people captured. However, these common people are assigned to various tribes. If the requirements are too high, even silent treatment will not be able to do anything. This does not mean that silent sipping will lead to kindness. He will not release truly useful prisoners, this is one of them. Second, this time he suffered heavy losses, losing fifty-six thousand men. It also dealt a heavy blow to the Turks. Therefore, the release of more than 10,000 prisoners also relieved the pressure to some extent. The main reason is that this time the gains outweigh the losses, which once again created tension among the Turkic tribes that had been relieved. If you are reckless about the consequences, shift your focus from Tibet to the Turks, and lead your army northward, you will put greater pressure on the Turks. Therefore, he asked the messenger to say that you need to rest, and we also need to rest. A smart person should speak clearly. But Wang Hua didn¡¯t know that the damage to the Turks this time was serious. Not only did Mochu intend to make peace with Wang Hua, he was even prepared to renegotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. But he also sensed that there would be great changes in the Tang Dynasty, so the time was not up. He did not give up on the Tang Dynasty. He did not take action, but sent people to Xi, Lin and other Khitan tribes in the north of Youzhou to secretly provide them with weapons and give them some preferential conditions to allow them to invade the Tang Dynasty's borders. Even Wang Hua doesn¡¯t know this. Of course, Wang Hua had no choice but to fight last time, and he also did not have the ability to go to war with the two powerful countries. This was a troubled time for Tubo, otherwise he would have a hard time dealing with the entire country of Tubo. Wang Hua said: "You go back and tell your Great Khan that as long as he does not invade our territory of the Tang Dynasty and does not harm our people of the Tang Dynasty, we will be in peace with him. If he continues to invade our Datang Dynasty, don't say that he is Even in Xiaohai, I will send troops to continue to inflict heavy losses on you Turks." At this point, he picked up his pen and wrote two lines: "Those who offend our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. Friends come to have wine, and the enemy comes to welcome the sword. This envoy felt very unsatisfied and thought that you yourself are the number one enemy of the Tang Dynasty. What qualifications do you have to speak against the Tang Dynasty? Anyone who offends the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. Let's kill yourself first. "But they are strong. If they don't believe in evil and continue to fight, the Turks will scare the blood camp." There is actually no contradiction in what Wang Hua said. He was referring to the Tang Dynasty and the entire China. This is not the Tang Dynasty of the Li family. But Wang Hua still underestimated the shamelessness of Mo Chu. Soon after, the exchanged people came to the border. The speed is very fast, and Wang Hua is not slow either. The role of the prisoners now is to build roads and transport supplies. But most of the supplies were shipped back. In fact, the main thing is food. As the food is shipped, the long queues on the road also disappear. It was still lively though. At the same time, the main roads in various states have been almost repaired. In fact, as early as Mochu escaped from Nanhetao, he began to repair roads in various states. Otherwise, would he really be raising these prisoners of war in vain? later stageThe main target is Minwu Prefecture, which originally had many roads. It will be widened and some roads will be built to reach various large villages. In ancient times, good deeds, such as building roads and bridges, were for one's own benefit. Villagers from all over the country also participated in it, and the progress was rapid. So it¡¯s time for an exchange. But when he saw the people, Wang Hua became very angry and happy. There are a lot of people, a hundred thousand people, but there is almost no young and middle-aged people. They are either old and infirm, or women and children. Some of them cried all the way to Yinshan Mountain because their families were torn apart alive. Wang Hua felt so aggrieved that the old man was fine. There was an old man in the family. If there was a treasure, a woman would be better. Not only would the family continue, but women in this era would be unimaginable to future generations. Because wars often occur and their husbands are sent away on expeditions, these women are both mothers and daughters-in-law at home, wives inside and husbands outside, capable of farming and weaving. Children are better, they are the future, they are hope. Wang Hua didn't mind very much, so he didn't explain it to Zhang Fuzhi deliberately. But this point was ignored and these families were separated. Although their lives in Turks were very difficult, could they stay in the Hetao with peace of mind? Don¡¯t you want to run away and meet your husband at any time? Or, like Mo Chu, treat these people as human beings and keep them under tight guard? Looking at Zhang Fuzhi's guilty expression, Wang Hua sighed and said, "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I didn't think about it well at the beginning." This time he was not doing something good, he was doing something evil. After finishing speaking, he made a cruel decision and asked the soldiers to escort them and force them to move to the Chuihe area. That area also needs people now. In fact, because the twenty-three states have settled down, some people on the border are ready to defect to the twenty-three states again. However, whether it was Tubo, Turks, Guo Yuanzhen, or the Tang Dynasty, management was very strict. Also because of the endless wars in the twenty-three states, the people still had concerns, and the number of people who defected was not large. Wang Hua made this arrangement unintentionally, but he didn't expect to find something. Not only did Mochuo do this shameless thing, he also planted some spies in the middle, disguised as old people. This was easy. Almost half of the people captured by the Turks were still barbarians, and it was possible that the Turks themselves were Accounting for ten percent. The people who were sent back were of all races, and there was no way to check them even if they wanted to. As soon as these spies heard that they were going to water the river and found out how far it was from the Turks, they immediately escaped quietly. After being arrested one by one, I learned that these spies were planted to encourage the people to defect to the Turks again, and to gather information. But Mo Chui didn't expect that Wang Hua would move them to Chuihe regardless of the cost. But some of the escapees were instigated by these spies and turned the river into a demon. Wang Hua couldn¡¯t explain clearly, so he was forcibly taken to Shuihe. He first acted as a bad person and then as a good person. In fact, when we arrived at Qihe, new houses had been built one after another, and even clothes, quilts, sheets, pots and pans, grains, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were prepared for them. Even the fields for autumn planting have been cleared, and wheat and barley are almost planted, waiting for harvest next year. Only then did everyone feel at ease. But Wang Hua still felt uneasy as families were broken up one after another. He even thought about starting another war and then using these captives to redeem their families completely? As we are about to enter late August, a group of distinguished guests finally appear in Lingzhou. These are all minor-level bosses who have close ties with Wang Hua in Zhongyuan, or families who have close ties with the Wang family in Taiyuan. Of course, the heads of each clan did not appear, but in order to show their attention, they all sent their direct disciples, or the most important aides in the family, to Lingzhou to celebrate the New Year. Among them, there are seven surnames and ten families, and nine families came. Looking around Guanzhong, three came. Even noble families such as the Xiao family of Huaihe and the Lu family of Jiangnan heard the news and sent representatives to congratulate them. But some have already arrived in Lingzhou, and some are still halfway there. Such a sensation has nothing to do with the Wang family in Taiyuan. Now that Wang Han is married to Wang Hua, it is unimaginable to hold a grand wedding. Even the Wang family in Taiyuan was ready to celebrate behind closed doors just like Wang Hua took in his two concubines. But this relationship has always been unclear. ¡°In the end, it¡¯s all about business. Wang Hua often asked for help at sea. The Grand Canal needed Wang Hua to speak even more. There was no sea traffic. The goods from the northwest to Oceania also intertwined a large network in the inland of the Tang Dynasty. These interests were also Wang Hua's. Painting takes the initiative. Can we not say that we did not take the initiative? Things like glass and cement are the exclusive business of Wang Hua, and he doesn't have the guts to put on airs. ¡°These guests who have come from afar cannot leave immediately when they arrive in Lingzhou City. They have to wait for the wedding ceremony.?. Therefore, Lingzhou City began to become more and more lively. It was at this moment that the real boss appeared. []
