8. Three nights and four plans

"Okay, then do what Yisong said." Then Zhu Li said, "Fengxiang is fully supporting Chengwu to build a city camp in Weiyang. I don't go to Jingyuan often. I have asked Yao Lingyan to stay for the camp. Yisong can discuss anything with him. You two were colleagues before."

"Thank you very much." Gao Yue said hurriedly.

In Jingzhou City, Yao Lingyan received Gao Yue and agreed to give him three thousand Jingyuan soldiers to the camp.

"It's really necessary to have 2,400 soldiers." Gao Yue said calmly.

Yao Lingyan's face was full of question marks.

But Gao Yue just chuckled and said nothing.

Soon Yao Lingyan understood, "Gao Kongmu, you will learn bad things when you go back to the capital. You need three thousand soldiers, but in fact, only two thousand four hundred, and you want to eat the remaining six hundred. This one will eat one fifth (much darker than Duan Xiushi)!"

Gao Yue made a calculation for Yao: "According to the income from the farming in Baiquan in the past, one hectares were established for one hectares, one hundred acres of garrisons, and one hundred thirty hectares were established for one hundred acres of land, that is, each camp soldier and his family were planting for one hundred acres of land. This time, I opened fifteen camps in Bailicheng, so I needed 1,950 camp soldiers; I also needed to be around Bailicheng, to Huating in the west and Mating in the east, and to set up twenty beacon towers, five soldiers were placed on each beacon, three of them went up to beacon, and two of them cultivated eight acres of land by the beacon tower; and three were also set up as "youyi", a city protection, a field, a post office, and a residence."

"Then there are fifty people?"

"These fifty people were upgraded to officials from Baili New City, maintaining the operation of the patrol and the public."

"No, no, you almost covered it by you, the vacancy of those six hundred people?"

"Of course, it's to eat it and pay for the miscellaneous items from Baili New City Government." Gao Yue said shamelessly.

Yao Lingyan raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart that he was very brave in this senior high school senior.

However, the 600 people still have to be pulled out of the Jingyuan Army. Originally, the slaughter of only one-tenth of the infringement, which means 3,000 people from the 30,000 troops in Jingyuan were slaughtered, but now they have to spend 600 to give to Gao Yue. Fortunately, Gao Yue is not greedy, and he wants to be a public party and give money to the officials evenly, not to let him monopolize himself, let alone the field camps and camps, our military state will also benefit.

So Yao Lingyan didn't struggle and agreed.

On the Jingzhou martial arts platform, Gao Yue climbed up for the second time. This time he had much more confidence in speaking than last time. He was wearing a vermilion-colored breeze dress, a horizontal knife hanging on his belt, a silver fish talisman, and the name "The Censor-in-Chief's Farewell Guard Gao Yue" was engraved on the fish talisman. In addition, he had served as the Confucius Officer in Jingyuan and was very familiar with everyone, so 2,400 Jingyuan camp field soldiers were quickly selected.

Then Gao Yue turned and said to the thousand Fan Yang soldiers brought from Fengxiang, "You are going to Huating to the farm."

"Huating is at the westmost point. When Xifan invades the key road, don't go." Fan Yang's soldiers started arguing.

"Then go to Ryohara."

"Liangyuan is too far from Baili City, so I won't go!" Fan Yangbing was all very arrogant.

"That's where Shiraishihara, the old city of Lingtai, is the easternmost."

Now Fan Yang's army whispered to each other. Thinking about it, Shiraishihara was not bad, far from the front line, so he agreed.

"Oh, dealing with these scoundrels from Lulong Town (Youzhou) is indeed a trick." Gao Yue thought to himself. In fact, he was not going to run to Liangyuan and Huating to farm farms, because it was indeed too close to Xifan. If Xifan invaded, the first thing he wanted to destroy was farm farms. But if he didn't go along like this, how could Fan Yang's soldiers agree readily?

Soon, according to Gao Yue's plan, Lingtai Shiraishiyuan opened 800 hectares of land and handed over to these Fan Yang soldiers.

When he left Jingzhou City, at the east gate of the city, Mingxuan, the head monk of Alantu Temple, was waiting in the dust for a long time. When he saw Gao Yue in a black-clothed silverfish, he clasped his hands and said, "Gao Tanyue, he really has a fate with Jingzhou!"

Gao Yue hurriedly dismounted and held Mingxuan's shoulder, "It's better to go to Baili New City to open a new temple. All kinds of planning and paintings rely on the mage!"

Mingxuan smiled and agreed happily.

Of course, there was another most important thing before: the Duzhi had to give seeds, farm tools, oxen, iron and other money, and also transported them to support the "food for March". After all, the Duzhi Department had to wait for a while to get a harvest. At this point, what they had eaten and worn before was still in charge of the Duzhi Department.

But after all, there are people in the court who are easy to do - the Ministry of Revenue's judgment on the Du Branch and the Southeast Salt and Iron Transportation Envoy had been dismissed by Yang Yan, but as Liu Yan expected, "The Ministry of Revenue's Jin and Warehouse were originally dead in name only, but now they have to take over the right power in a hurry. How can they be competent?" So Yang Yan could only promote Zhao Zan as the Minister of Revenue and the Du Branch, and re-responsible for the finance and salt profit of the northwest border army; at the same time, Du You was appointed as the Trustee of the Jianghuai Transportation Envoy, replacing the original role of Liu Yan, urging the delivery of two tax money, hudog rice and salt profit, and everything was the same, it could be said to have changed the soup and not changed the medicine. Soon after receiving the memorials from Cui Ning, Zhu Li, Duan Xiushi and other Su Lao, the emperor personally asked the Du Branch Office to "get money" as soon as possible.

Zhao Zan did not dare to disobey, so he actually sent money, silk and salt to Jingyuan, Pingkangfang.

The Jinzouyuan issued a certificate to the merchants in Chang'an, Xiao Yi and others responded positively.

The magic weapon of Duzhishi to win over merchants is the "fake estimation method", which was also Liu Yan's invention. When Liu Yan was in charge of profit in the southeast, he implemented the salt method. The monopoly of salt became a profitable industry. The price of each bucket of salt was 300 cents (before the salt method, each bucket of salt was only 100 cents, so it is not difficult to feel it in comparison). Among them, the government could get a hundred cents, and the salt merchants could get a hundred cents, and the profit rate was 100%. Naturally, salt merchants flocked to it. Liu Yan reached an agreement with the salt merchants, encouraging them to exchange for salt with silk cloth. The price of each piece of silk cloth increased by 200 cents, which was for "fake estimation", so that the salt merchants could make profits. Then he asked the salt merchants to pay for money, and sent the silk cloth to the capital with a ship, and then distributed it to the soldiers of the northwest border as clothes (it was useless to give money, and the wasteland was in the northwest border at that time, and you could not buy grain and cloth if you had money).

This time, Zhao Zan of the Duzhi Department, at the suggestion of Zhu Li, Cui Ning and other ministers (actually Gao Yue's plan), also copied the same thing and "fake estimates" to give merchants some benefits, let them purchase various materials, and then organize teams to continuously transport materials from the capital to the west. After transporting them to Baili New City, after inventory and verification, Gao Yue stamped the seals of Jingyuan Military Mansion and the current Yingtian Inspection Courtyard of Yuanzhou on the document. The group of merchants went back and went directly to Jingyuan Jinzou Courtyard in the capital to collect money or salt with the seal and document.

This is one of the links that Gao Yue said about "using merchants to supplement the army".

Before the caravan in Chang'an set out, a drafting shed was set up under a large Gantang tree in front of the old city of Baili. Gao Yue sat on the mat under it, and Liu De's room and Ming Xuan sat behind it. Just like the past "Yan Zhaogong's governance", he called the households in Lingtai County to see the whole city of Lingtai and read the whole book.
