"Master, don't you dare go against that Youzhou, she has powerful cavalrymen under his command. I heard that there were tens of thousands of cavalrymen who reinforced the Ningxian, and not only did they drive away the Urushion in the desert, but they also swept across the valley, causing the Urushion and the fresh inferior to feel terrified. Not only does he have strong cavalry, she also has over a million yellow cloth army captive s. As long as he gives the order, the entire Youzhou will probably be turned upside down. " Xiao Yue frowned, and carefully reminded his. Although Liu Can had a few hundred servants, they would not be able to withstand a single blow from the powerful cavalry of Youzhou.

"Then tell us, what should we do? Although the price of our food is constantly increasing, those yellow cloth army captive do not buy food at all, and we do not earn much money. "Now that we have to pay another 20% of the land tax, we have lost a lot of money." Liu Can was really annoyed, it hurt just to think about it, and said angrily.

"Master, according to my analysis, Lord Thorn's team is too large, their supplies and equipment will be extremely difficult to handle. Those yellow cloth army captive did steal a lot of food from the Central Plains last year. However, how much food could they produce from the new land they had dug up this year? Even if they still collected taxes at twenty percent next year, they wouldn't be able to support more than a million prisoners. So, Master, we still have to join forces with the other Scholars s and country gentry to continue raising the price of food while taking back the food at the same time, so that the food on the streets will become less and less. If they can't afford it, if they can't get food, they won't be able to stand it until next winter. If a soldier runs away, he has to leave even if he doesn't want to. "

Xiao Yue revealed a sinister smile, and said to Liu Can slowly. Although Lord Thorn's policy was good, Xiao Yue couldn't even afford to buy a thousand acres of land. It would be better if he followed Liu Can and drank some soup. If this were to continue according to the methods of the Lord Thorn, those small and medium landlords who only had a few thousand acres of land, who would be able to afford a hanger-on? He might not even be able to drink the soup.

Liu Can thought that Yue Yang was right, he had to endure for a while before he said anything, "You are right, we shouldn't try to force things on him, instead we should just make things up with food so that he can starve to death and freeze to death in the Youzhou. I will give the land to the thirteen sons at once, and let them divide up, and give it to them in the future, lest I see them every day. As long as this Lord Thorn leaves, his tricks will definitely become invalid. Who among my thirteen sons would dare not listen to me? "

Yang Hu used three days of time to finally choose a mountain called Maple Ridge. On this day, he came to Yang Lin's tent and reported to him about the situation at the base. After hearing Yang Hu's report, Yang Lin felt more satisfied and called Qin Yi and Qin Yao over to the base that Yang Hu had chosen.

Being able to follow Yang Lin outside made Qin Yi and Qin Yao extremely happy. Although they were together everyday, they had never been alone with Yang Lin. The two of them dressed up beautifully. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, making it hard to describe how beautiful they were.

The Maple Tree Ridge that Yang Hu chose was located in a place inside the Upper Valley Mountain Range north of Guangyang City. After entering the mountain, one would have to walk for over a hundred Li, and there were mountains everywhere along the way. There were very few people living within a hundred miles of the square garden. There were only a few hunters living here, and they were about two hundred miles away from Guang Yang. On the second day, they arrived at their designated location.

Yang Lin spent a day to look around at his surroundings. He felt that this was indeed a good place to keep it a secret, that there were four walls surrounding a mountain, and only a single canyon had passed through in the middle. A few streams converged into a canyon, and divided this place into several independent spaces.

There was water in the canyon, but the water level was not deep enough for a boat to pass through. After Yang Lin looked at it, he decided to build a dam downstream to form a lake in the mountains. This way, it could raise the water level, improve the ability to navigate and also allow him to control ships to enter, isolating this place from the world. It truly was killing two birds with one stone.

Once he made his decision, he gave Yang Hu the related blueprints, and instructed: "You will bring the cavalry to guard here, and everyone within a hundred li will move. Set up three cordon lines, without my order, no one is allowed to enter the mountain, and anyone who disobeys will be killed."

He turned his head and said to Qin Yi and Qin Yao: "Immediately use the Eagles to send the message. First, get the brothers Zhou Quan and Zhou Yi to quickly come over from the Liaodong and ask them to come here to help me set up the factory. Secondly, get strategist Zhang Ling to send ten thousand Wu Huan and fresh slave over right away. I'm waiting for them to come work for me. "

The two brothers Zhou Quan and Zhou Yi were the brothers of Zhou Rong. They had always been the stewards of the Liaodong Taishang Palace. Due to the factory being too secretive, Yang Lin was even prepared to hide his generals and strategists. Hence, whether it was the guards or the managers, they could only use the Zhou Mansion.

On the way back to Guangyang, Yang Lin, Qin Yi and the others chatted and laughed all the way back. Suddenly, he saw herald running over to him, and said to Yang Lin: "Reporting in, there's a rich man from Guangyang who wants to see you, he has something important to report."

"Oh …" "Ask him to come over." No matter what, Yang Lin did not want to offend these nobles and landlords. He waved his hands towards Qin Yi and Qin Yao, and they jumped off their horses and stood by the side of the road, waiting.

Not long later, the personal guard brought over a smiling fatty, about 50 to 60 years old. Although it was a cold day, his forehead seemed to be steaming. He quickly took a few steps forward and respectfully prostrated on the ground: "Ji County Lu Jie greets Lord General, greets the two of you."

"Get up." Seeing that he was so old, Yang Lin immediately went forward to support him. When Lu Jie stood up, Yang Lin smiled and said: I wonder what business does Old Master Lu have?

"After returning to the Lord General, since the time the yellow scarf was taken prisoner and placed in the Youzhou, the price of food in the Youzhou has continued to rise. I didn't know it before, but I also rose a little. However, a few days ago, after the Lord General entered the Youzhou, there were people who came to invite them to raise the price. This lowly one is truly afraid, I have specially come to see Lord General, to guard against him as soon as possible. "

"Oh …" Can you tell me who is inviting the price hike? " Yang Lin was a little confused, he did not expect the increase in the price of the grains to be a joint operation.

"Of course you can, he is Liu Can from the Wealthy Class. He sent his hanger-ons around to invite them all to follow suit. " Lu Jie cupped his hands at Yang Lingong and said with certainty.

"Oh …" "So that's how it is!" Yang Lin nodded his head thoughtfully. Seems like it was all because of Liu Can, he smiled towards Lu Jie: "Master Lu, from what you see, does this Liu Can want to earn more money or have some other motive?"

"This …" Lu Jie hesitated for a while, and said as if he made a big decision: "Lord General, that Liu Can is a large family in Guangyang City, and has always been good to the government. But hearing that the new Guang Yang Tai Shou Jiang Li did not visit him, he had the intention to make things difficult for Jiang Li. "

"Oh …" It's that simple? " Yang Lin shook his head in disbelief. Seeing that Lu Jie could not answer her question, he did not pursue the matter any further, and remembered something else, "Master Lu, have you seen the land tax collection order and the County Magistrate's History employment order that was just announced?

"Reporting to the Lord General, I have already seen it." Lu Jie laughed, and cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong: "To be honest, Lord General, even though I have tens of thousands of mu of land, I am still far from those Wealthy soldiers. According to the lord's decree, we are now all County Magistrate's History, why not? I've decided to give the land to my sons and let them do it themselves. I'm ready to rest. "

"Hehe …" "You're still young, how can you rest?" Yang Lin laughed, and felt that this Lu Jie was not bad.

"Sixty. Time to rest." Lu Jie shook his head and laughed to himself: "Lord General, this kind of family, even if they say they are big, they are not small either. There are only three hundred or so tenants, and they can't afford to raise many servants. With the Lord General's cavalry, we'll be much safer. So, I am prepared to donate two hundred thousand kilograms of food to cavalry of Youzhou to express my intentions. "

"Thank you so much, Master Lu." Yang Lin laughed happily, he suddenly thought of an idea and said to Lu Jie: "Master Lu, cavalry of Youzhou is able to pacify Wu Huan, it's a low and fresh rebellion, and indeed needs a large amount of rations. Someone has invited you not to sell food, can you make a public initiative to call upon all the squire and Scholars to donate food for the cavalry of Youzhou, and encourage them to pacify the rebellion of Urushion and fresh inferior! "

Lu Jie hesitated for a moment, but still nodded his head and said: "Alright, I can join hands with a few countryside gentry and Scholars and we can all make an open initiative, and call for everyone to donate food to cavalry of Youzhou. As for the specific amount, it will be 10% per mu of land. " Although snowflakes started to fall again, Ge Wuka still brought the remaining two thousand men to leave the Upper Valley City, and went to the grasslands to look for the other Wuhuan Tribe members. He was now the Lord Wu Huan, and this was bestowed upon him by the rider general's advisor, the Zhang Banxian.

However, no one in the Urushion dared to underestimate this official's position. The Urushion s who wanted to challenge Ge Wuka's authority immediately shut their mouths, this was, after all, a reward bestowed by the government. Even Ge Wuka was very pleased, he had already led his cavalry on his way that afternoon. Of course, their women, children, cattle and sheep were all kept in Upper Valley County. For their safety, the Military Advisor had allowed them to live in the Upper Valley City.

At dusk, they found a tribe called the Urushion deep within a vast prairie. However, before they could even enter the tribe, the tribe Outpost who acted as guards stopped them and sent a few of them back to report.

Not long later, the leader of the tribe, Wu Qike, and his subordinates arrived. This was the tradition of the nomadic peoples. No matter if they were enemies or friends, they were all soldiers. Because they lacked the most basic sense of security, their enemies and friends were constantly changing.

"Oh …" So it's Young Master Ge Wuka! "

"Wu Qike, listen carefully. Young Master Ge Wuka has already been conferred the title of Upper Valley County by the Han Dynasty's carriage general, you still haven't dismounted from your horse and kowtowed! "

The rider beside Ge Wuka raised his head and asked arrogantly. On one hand, they were harassing the Han Chinese nonstop, and on the other hand, they were extremely envious of the Han Dynasty's rewards. Even the Zhang Banxian gave them, the Lord Wu Huan, endless joy.

Wu Qike was a man who was around 40 years old. He had a tall and sturdy stature and great strength. Of course he knew the young master of the old Lord Wu Huan, but he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. But now that he was at Lord Wu Huan, he had no choice but to dismount and kowtow to Ge Wuka.
