“It’s not that easy.”

Although Hippatia had just arrived here and was just a frontier of the Tang Dynasty, she had already felt that making money was not that easy.

The more stable the country is, the more stable the foundation and the place with complete laws, the less easy it is to make money, because almost all loopholes are blocked, and it is not easy for you to make money directly.

For Hippatia and others, it may be that making money is robbery or helping people kill.

Although this business is a bit bloody, it was passed down from ancient times. It may not be the case in the Central Plains, but even in the West. They regarded this as a good way. There was even a caravan along the way, which was killed by Hippatia's subordinates. When they had no food to eat, many things could be ignored.

“It’s not difficult actually.”

After taking a sip of tea, Yu Yuyuan said, "You just saw the embarrassing look of Lord Governor. Now it is stable, but there are not many land and there are many pastures, but because this production takes time, the governor has a headache. After all, it is not possible if a city does not have a stable source of wealth."

"Huh?" Hippatia didn't understand what it means. In the West, people live in a very large area. Many people live in cities or around the city, but there are no places like the Central Plains. The Central Plains is actually a huge country surrounded by fences. Although there are also wild beasts and the like, many have been cleaned up. Many people have occupied all the places where the beasts should live, so there is no need to worry so much.

But in the West, one city may be very far away from another city. This distance makes people feel incredible. Walking through it is like passing countless dangerous obstacles, so you will naturally not look for it after going through life and death. Just like the so-called Western Federation in the past, in fact, they don’t want to be unified, but how to unify it, without a unified idea or a unified idea, then even if you force it together, it will not work.

"And now they are looking for this source of wealth. Whether it is minerals, water or other things, as long as they are found, the governor will definitely give you a lot of money. If this money is given to you, you will not have to worry about your whole year in Chang'an."

"real?"

Hippatia couldn't help but ask, now they had a lot of money, but the people living there told them that because the quality of the gold coins they brought were not good, they contained very high impurities, so they were not used as money at all. She had seen the copper plates in the Tang Dynasty. They were really very beautiful. In the past, some Western countries and even some merchants traded them, they did not bring silk or other things back at all, but brought a cart of money back. This money can not only buy things, but also collect them, which is simply a huge profit.

"Of course it's true, and I also heard that more and more people have come here recently. Because I have stabilized, there are many people coming to beg for food. However, Suzhou and Ganzhou use Songzhou methods. They will not directly give food to the people or hungry people, but will have to obtain it through labor. But now there is not so much work, but what should we do?"

Yu Yuyuan's words were simply big news, which made Hippatia stand up in a hurry and said goodbye, "I have something to do, let's go first, thank you for your refreshment."

He left without stopping at all. After Yu Yuyuan ate the last little rice cake, he looked at the outside and said, "He is really a smart person."

Ye Tan went to the military camp and found that everything there was only a little better discipline than before, but it was similar in other aspects. In fact, this was similar to other troops in the Tang Dynasty. It was not that Hou Junji had a bad attitude, but that the lack of troops in the past belonged to those who were not clear today. Who would make some boring things to take a look?

Unfortunately, Ye Tan beat the doorkeeper at the door of the military camp, not because the other party did not open the door for him, but because the other party opened the door for him.

Hou Junji originally planned to call Ye Tan to come and see how powerful the soldiers he trained were, but when he saw this scene, his face darkened. He has never been a very broad-minded person, and it is true that he is narrow-minded. Therefore, such a person will revenge. However, because of this, he rarely encounters problems overnight because he does not have the energy.

"Ye Hou, what do you mean?"

Hou Junji usually calls him Ye Tan, a stinky boy, because Ye Tan has a good relationship with the prince, and the prince's concubine is his daughter, so he will not embarrass many people. He generally will not do this to Ye Tan, otherwise it will be even more ugly in the future.

But, isn't this suitable for you to hit me in front of me?

"This guy doesn't know how to lift up." Ye Tan pointed to the strong man who was kicked to the ground by him and could not get up halfway.

"Oh, I wonder if he blocked Ye Hou from entering the military camp and annoyed you?"

Hou Junji's knife was spreading on his waist. If he didn't agree, he would move thickly.

"That's not, but because he doesn't stop me, so he should fight."

After Ye Tan reached out to wipe the things on his hand, he threw the handkerchief on the ground, and then it made him feel like he was jumping. Is it appropriate for someone to respect you so much, but you dare to do this?

"What does it mean?" Hou Junji felt helpless. Is this person crazy? He respects you so much?

"I am an outsider to come to this military camp and let me in without notice. If such a person is placed in Songzhou, I will behead him directly."

Ye Tan said lightly, as if he was in an ordinary thing.

"But they all know you."

Hou Junji was a little vomiting blood by Ye Tan's words. People respect you so much, but you dare to do this. Is it appropriate?

"Get in first."

Ye Tan smiled casually, then walked in, and then the two of them went to a larger house. Unfortunately, the houses here are made of yellow mud. Really, the feeling of the earthen stove is really not very good.

When Ye Biao sat down, he took out a bag from behind. The tea inside naturally tasted very good, and the wine was collected for Hou Jun.

Both dishes are meat, so they are considered cold dishes.

But Hou Junji was not in the mood to eat because this guy rushed in and slapped himself in the face. Do you think this kind of thing can be eaten?

"Yehou, you don't seem to give me an answer?"

Hou Junji, watching him start eating with big cakes and some meat, couldn't help but ask.

"Take a few bites first, and then a little later."

Ye Tan now eats a lot of food every day because there is no way.

If you don’t eat enough, where can you get the energy to work?

Hou Junji originally thought that I could eat, but seeing that he was very happy, he was no longer so reserved.

After the two of them ate for a while, Ye Tan took a sip of the tea ceremony, "I wonder why Uncle Hou thought His Majesty sent you here for?"

"What else can you do? Isn't it just to prepare for the military?"

Hou Junji naturally knew it, but unfortunately, he knew a little.

Ye Tan asked to shake his head and said, "It's not just that. This time I went from Songzhou to Fengzhou and Liangzhou, and now I'm in Suzhou and Ganzhou again. Uncle Hou wouldn't think I'm so idle and uncomfortable."

"Is it to let you govern the place?"

Hou Junji asked with a frown, because this question was not tenable, because many places within the Tang Dynasty were not well managed, so how could he come to these places?

"This is also considered, but unfortunately it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to make all the soldiers come out when the Tang Dynasty needs them."

Ye Tan pointed to the north, and then Hou Junji's face changed, "Your Majesty is still worried about the north?"

"This sentence should be what I asked Uncle Hou, you. You forgot that from the Qin Dynasty, where is the disaster of the Central Plains dynasty? Is it in the south?"

Anyone who knows a little about military tactics knows this problem, and comes from the north, but doesn't know what's going on.

And from countless things, they are all in the north or west, while the people in the south live a good life, so no one wants to rebel, because would it be better to rebel?

"You are right, but there is nothing you can do about this."

Although Hou Junji is a great man, and has a good brain and is very conceited, he also knows that in the era of strong military forces, he can defeat the people in the north, but when you are weak, the people in the north are simply so-called wildfires that cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze is blown away. However, there is no way to do such a thing. Even if he is as strong as Emperor Wu of Han, what if he is? In the end, he is honestly handing over and confronting the other party in his later years.

Although Li Shimin is strong, his current achievements are still incomparable with Emperor Wu of Han. Because many things have not happened, people still don’t think he is much stronger than those powerful people in history.

"There's no way, don't you do something?"

Ye Tan's face suddenly became a little ashen from the beginning. For him, he had thousands of years of cultural heritage and of course he had also inherited thousands of years of memory of suffering. The things in the memory were all true, and this feeling was very bad.

"What are you doing? It's just a war."

Hou Junji represents the characteristics of military auspiciousness in this era. He also has the idea of ​​fighting in his mind, but it is not as much as Li Jing and others think. After all, he is a brave general rather than a handsome man.

"If it's just a war, then what should I do here? Is Songzhou uncomfortable? Is Chang'an uncomfortable?" Ye Tan's face still shook his head with an ugly look, "Uncle Hou, although we cannot eliminate some things, we need to do something. Since there is a chance that the world will be better, we cannot give up. If those people may be able to regenerate again in the spring breeze, then we will turn into concrete ground there."

Cement is a specialty of Songzhou. It can only be found in Chang'an where it has just been renovated. However, the effect of this material is obvious and is really useful. If the national strength had not yet recovered to a certain level, Li Shimin would never have missed such a good opportunity.

"What are you going to do?" Hou Junji suddenly realized that he had no idea about this junior, but the cold air emitting around him made people tremble. What is this guy, so evil.

"The people in Suzhou and Ganzhou are all safe and trained in Songzhou. The governance here is also based on Songzhou. If Your Majesty needs to let us fight the Northern Expedition, then all people and local people must abide by it unconditionally, and this requires not only military strength, but also local people's strength."

Ye Tan's words made Hou Junji tremble because this is really difficult. Even in the heart of the Central Plains, sometimes once war occurs, some messy religious people will come out to carry out some propaganda, and they are not kind and more reliable here. Because the frontier connects with other countries, there are often countless troubles.

The twisting of human hearts will definitely not be a simple process or thing. Just like at the end of the Qin Dynasty, if Liu Bang got it directly, it would be not certain whether the Han Dynasty could withstand the attacks of the remnants of other countries. However, Xiang Yu first hit the seven or eight points of the remnants of the six countries, and then in this process, the remnants of the six countries were almost dead. Then after Liu Bang took this matter, not many people were really thinking about restoring the six countries, because there was no one left, this was the ability.

Hou Junji knew that if Li Shimin was really rude, it should be three years later, because the treasury began to be abundant at that time. He had just started to get a starter when he got Jie Li Khan. He was not a generous person, especially when he came to foreign enemies. But no matter how powerful you are, you need three things to rude: money, food and soldiers. Without these, you should not think too much, it is impossible.

The best place to rectify the border is Songzhou, so Li Shimin asked him to come here. However, he did not have enough foundation and time here, so the means would definitely make people crazy.

"Is there no other way?"

Hou Junji felt very unfair. Although he had killed some people over the years, compared with Ye Tan, he was really too gentle. Any place with good development needs to eliminate some bad molecules, and these molecules are often not low in number.

"Will your Majesty give you my chance?"

Ye Tan suddenly laughed and asked, as if he was joking.

In addition to your enemies, the people who know you best are those who help you work, especially those who are dirty and tiring. This is what Hou Junji has done over the years. He is the person who specializes in doing these things for Li Shimin, so he knows that everything is irreversible.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hou Junji suddenly felt a little decadent. He was a general, and he was a person who had experienced countless battles and blood. Unfortunately, now in Ye Tan, he seemed to be like a young man, very green.

“It’s very simple.”
