Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 179

Soldiers, the important affairs of the country must be investigated, and they must not be careless!

Fight the battles that should be fought, and try to avoid the ones that should not be fought.

Although the Heiyun army is strong, they cannot hold back and fight every day.

How can people walk by the river without getting their shoes wet?
The world is about to undergo drastic changes in the past two years, and this is the last period of development for Heiyun Mountain.

Li Yue asked Wei Shan to pass on Liu Qi's secret communication to Chu Po through his relationship with the begging army, and the next step is to wait for Yecheng's response.

Today's scout battalion is not simply a combat army, but also has duties such as spying, reconnaissance, and rebellion.

A number of detailed works have been developed in the Beiqi Huojun to facilitate the circulation of news.

Internally, Li Yue issued the order of Lian Zuo. Among the people under his rule, if one person flees, the whole family will be slaves, and if one family flees, the five neighbors on the left and right will be slaves.

In troubled times, heavy codes should be used, kindness does not control soldiers, benevolence does not rule the people, and great benevolence is not benevolent!
After the order was issued, the escape incidents in the territory gradually decreased.

During this time, including Li Yue, the entire Heiyun Mountain was not idle. Almost all the staff worked. The soldiers went out to hunt in turn, the men farmed and fished, the strong women collected wild fruits and weeds, and the old, weak, sick and disabled weaved grass. Clothes, sandals, weaving.

Artisans create farm implements and armory.

Without Li Yue's decree, everyone cherishes the rare time of peace.

Taxes in Heiyun Mountain are relatively low, and the enthusiasm of the farmers has been fully aroused. Although the spring plowing season has passed, they still replant the abandoned fields and replant beans and vegetables.

People in this era are extremely industrious. They work in the fields every day at dawn, and don't go home until they can't see them at night.

The young and strong have to watch the night to prevent wild boars, wild badgers, and pikas from eating the seeds that have just been planted.

Plan ahead for a rainy day, and if everything is forewarned, it will be established. If not forewarned, it will be abandoned.

Farming is not a sure thing, and any natural or man-made disaster may result in no harvest.

Based on Cao Kan's private salt soldiers, Li Yue selected a group of eloquent people from Shangwutang to form a business brigade, and went south to Jingxiang and Jiangdong to exchange what they had and buy what they had.

Especially strategic materials such as food and cloth.

Since Yu Liang's deployment of the Northern Expedition was hit by Shi Hu, Jiangdong has not had a war for 11 years. Relatively speaking, it is the most affluent place in the world.

Li Yue carefully prepared fur goods and livestock to go south, but the effect was barely satisfactory.

The gentry in Jiangdong are only interested in the strong green cattle, not the other donkeys, mules and camels, and not many people even buy horses.

"According to detailed reports, the Jiangdong gentry are quite interested in something." Cao Kan, a tall man of eight feet, spoke coyly.

"What?" Jiangdong has what is in the Central Plains, and Jiangdong still has what is not in the Central Plains.

"Slaves...especially handsome men and women."

The gentry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties had a fever with a lot of money, doing nothing all day long, bored, luxurious and decadent, and all kinds of new tricks emerged one after another.

Li Yue frowned, "This is absolutely impossible!"

There are not many people left in the Central Plains, and they cannot stand the abuse of Jiangdong.

Cao Kan continued to be coy, "My family...the common people are naturally not, but there are many Hu people...the scout battalion has new hands."

This proposal is possible, but there are not many fools on hand.

In order to avenge the blood hatred, all the captives were beheaded.

"You should focus more on business. Business is not only in Jiangdong. It depends on how you do it. You can't just focus on the south, north, and northeast. You can take care of the private salt. You take care of the others. Hold on tight."

Li Yue still refused, this thing is not the right way, and the backlash effect is not small.

The Hu people are not all Jie people, there are also Qiang Di Xianbei Xiongnu Bazi Wuhuan and so on. Once this hole is opened, everyone will be taken captive and sold at that time.

At that time, Shi Le was honestly farming in Shangdang Wu Township. He was almost 30 years old. During the Eight Kings Rebellion, the world was in a state of rebellion, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the fields could no longer be farmed.

With a flash of inspiration, Shi Le packaged and sold the clansmen who could not survive together with himself...

In the era of farming civilization, the mind still has to be used in the field, and almost everything grows directly and indirectly from the field.

The slave trade will cause many other problems, which are not conducive to the recuperation of the people, and only the princes of the Sima family will do these things, and they are finally backlashed.

Jiangdong's business is barely there, it doesn't matter whether it does or not, but Jingxiang's business is very hot.

Basically, whatever Heiyun Mountain sells, Jing Xiang wants.

Salt, livestock, healthy horses, leather goods, Jiangling flocked to.

And buy back food, cloth, crossbows, armor, etc. from Jiangling.

There is nothing else in Jingxiang, but the grain is piled up like a mountain. The Jianghan Plain has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times.

One catty of private salt in Heiyun Mountain is exchanged for 43 catties of grain, which is [-]% higher than the market price, which is naturally taken care of by Huan Wen.

Along the way, they have to pass through the territory of Liu Guo in Yangcheng, but Liu Guo is very good at being a man. As long as the Jingxiang or Heiyun flag is planted, the Huns will stay away.

Heiyunshan put one hand on Huan Wen's thigh, and the food was temporarily safe.

But Huan Wen was so generous, and he had nothing to ask for.

Not surprisingly, Jingxiang's envoy arrived soon, "If General Li can regain Luoyang and return to the imperial court, his name will go down in history."

After the Liangdu Rebellion, Luoyang was basically in ruins. The people fled and the Heiyun Army could take it down without any effort.

But the problem is, it's hard to hold on to it once you get it.

Shi Zun was not very good at dealing with himself, how could he allow Heiyun Mountain to occupy Luoyang?

Huan Wen put Heiyun Mountain on the fire and roasted it.

Li Yue said with a smile: "Although Yue is in Jiezhao, his heart is always with the court. As long as Duke Huan makes a northern expedition, Yue will be the forerunner!"

If Huan Wen sent troops, Heiyun Mountain would send troops. On the contrary, if Huan Wen did not send troops to the Northern Expedition, Heiyun Mountain would have a lot of hard work.

The emissary didn't seem to be a person of any importance at first glance, so he didn't hear Li Yue's implication, and left happily.

Jiezhao internal turmoil, of course Huan Wen will not let go of this opportunity.

However, smart hunters will lurk until the end and jump out first. It is easy to change from hunter to prey.

The more this is the case, the more you have to calm down.

The news from Ye City has not yet come back, but Cui Jin's good news has been sent back one by one.

The Zhenshan camp built with the former Xuanyuan Mountain Ministry as the team was quite powerful and very good at attacking the city. In half a month, it defeated the three counties south of Chenliu and beheaded the rebellious county magistrate and county lieutenant.

Then the soldiers went straight to Jiyin without removing their armor.

When the counties in the territory saw the black cloud and the red flag, they took the young and strong and fled to the southeast.

The freshmen from the scout battalion captured him alive and escorted Chen Liu.

Those who could escape were all strong men, and two to three thousand men were escorted into the city.

Li Yue looked at the honest and cunning faces of these ragged people, and sighed in his heart, would he live a good life by going to Jiangdong?
The south was already overcrowded. Although the Sima family set up Qiao County and Qiao County to accommodate refugees, they neglected the management, and the population was privately swallowed up by the gentry.

"You think everything will be fine if you flee to the south?" Li Yue glanced at everyone.

"General, please spare me, I won't dare to wait anymore." The strong men knelt down habitually.

"I won't kill you all, but they will all be demoted to farm slaves!" Li Yue roared loudly.

The slaves were still under the children of the children, and all the income from the farms belonged to the government.

Everyone was relieved to hear that there was no need to die.

Perhaps they actually knew in their hearts that going south would inevitably end up being a slave.
