In the past few days, Yang Yue and Xu Wennuo shuttled through the states of Hebei Province.

Witness the new large workshops in the states of Hebei Province, and the ceramics, silk, farm tools, metallurgy, and iron smelting made by the merchants were continuously transported to the provinces for sale.

I also saw merchants from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty, bringing gold, silver and grain to Hebei Province.

At present, Hebei Province is still limited in terms of grain due to poor land, but after the establishment of workshops, the manufacturing and commerce in Hebei Province have grown rapidly, and it has become very prosperous and wealthy.

Along the way, in many states and counties, people are renovating their houses, and more people are building new houses.

Compared with a few years ago, when he led the army to garrison Youzhou, the poor situation in the states of Hebei Province has changed dramatically.

Unfortunately, he hurried to Youzhou as soon as possible, and did not have time to personally visit the various workshops to inspect in detail.

Even so, it took three days to arrive in Youzhou, and the group still spent five days.

When the group arrived in Youzhou, Guo Huaiyuan sent the forbidden army to report in advance, Luo Shishang, the general manager of the Hebei Provincial March, Zhao Junxian, the Taishou of Hebei Province, and Lu Yixiu, the pastor of Youzhou Prefecture, personally led the officials and generals of Youzhou to meet them at the south gate of Youzhou City.

This time, Yang Yue came to Youzhou and did not hide his identity, but he did not tell Lu Yixiu to make a big show.

He needed to create a scene where the flowers were separated by a layer in a fog, and Jerupu Hua couldn't decide.

Yang Yue entered the city and revisited the old place.

When the few people in the city learned about it, they still gathered from all directions to see the holy face of the Son of Heaven.

Luo Shishang, Zhao Junxian, Lu Yixiu rode horses and Yang Yue forward, but they didn't expect Yang Yue to suddenly come to Youzhou.

However, the young people of Hebei Province disappeared outside the pass, and the Khitan outside the pass was ready to move, flying and domineering, which made the three of them secretly happy.

The emperor came to Weifu for a private visit, and Luo Shishang was still looking forward to reporting the military situation to Yang Yue, and then led the Flying Tiger Army out of the Great Wall and severely damaged the Khitan wolf rider outside the Guan.

"The emperor has been stationed in Youzhou for several years, and he once beat the Khitan wolf cavalry to protect the front line of Youzhou, even if the emperor has lived in Chang'an for a long time, Weichen often heard the people praise the emperor in Youzhou."

As he walked forward, Lu Yixiu stared at the people who came spontaneously from all sides, and reported to Yang Yue who was looking around.

This statement was not deliberately flattered by him, but it was actually when Yang Yue garrisoned Youzhou, which changed the situation of the people of Hebei Province being bullied by the Khitan.

"Yixiu, you and Junxian are not bad, I came from various states along the way, Hebei Road has undergone great changes, with the rise of workshops in various places, a steady stream of goods have been manufactured, I believe that the people have no man-made rebellion!" Yang Yuelongyan Dayue is very satisfied with Lu Yixiu and Zhao Junxian's achievements in Hebei Province.

"The food of the king is divided into the worries of the king, and the ministers should do their best to ensure that Hebei is becoming stronger and stronger." Lu Yixiu said first.

"Your Majesty, one state and one thing, can drive the economy of each state, but the influence is limited, besides, many objects made in Hebei Province are similar to those made in Dandong and Shencheng, which will affect Dandong and the workshops in Shencheng, and within a few years, Datang can rise rapidly with this, but it will eventually be saturated in the long run." Zhao Junxian apologized to remind Yang Yue that this issue has no eyebrows at present, but it cannot stand the test of time.

"Hmm!"

"Junxian is worthy of being a talented person in Hedong, with a long-term vision, to express my concerns, this matter is cumbersome, and it needs to be planned in detail and considered in the long run." When Yang Yue heard this, his expression was shocked, he bowed slightly, his eyes swept over Lu Yixiu, and Zhao Junxian Xu Wen: "Yixiu, Junxian, Hebei Province, Dugi Province, there are people who have been deceived out of the customs one after another, and you can send clues about this matter."

Economic issues, Yang Yue has long thought deeply, the things produced by the workshops in Hebei Province are still in Hebei Province, Henan Province can be digested, Dandong, Shencheng production of goods, in addition to the consumption of the people outside the Guan, still need to communicate with the Khitan, Turkic.

In the future, when Datang continues to open up new markets after being saturated, Datang will need to embark on the road of external expansion.

However, to solve the economic problems of Datang, we must take the lead in solving internal problems, and we should also take the lead in removing the hidden dangers in the north for external expansion.

"Your Majesty, Hebei Province, Dugi Province in the young man disappeared outside the pass, before reporting to the court, we have not yet had any eyebrows, however, recently, General Luo led the troops, several times ventured out of the customs to find, no different from finding a few Khitan strongholds, detaining many people, has been successfully rescued.

The remaining people have not yet been recovered, however, when the people leave the customs and go to the northeast, General Luo will send troops to protect them, and General Duanmu, who is stationed in Dandong, will also send troops deep into the grassland to expel the Khitan wolf riders.

Wechen promised that no one would go missing in the future." Youzhou Mu Lu Yixiu report.

When he hesitated, he continued: "The emperor, the Khitan, through the governance of Yelu Yao, the overall strength continues to grow, Yelu Yao and the leaders of the various departments, the ambition is gradually expanding, and they want to compete with the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, but they have been fighting with the Tang Dynasty and the Turks for many years, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, especially in the eastern region, which has been heavily damaged by the emperor's troops, and the population of the various departments has not yet recovered.

With the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic forces continued to recover, Yelu Yao, Yelu Puhua exhausted the army, the number of wolf cavalry continued to expand, many heavy miscellaneous labor, can only be handed over to the captives to complete, unfortunately, the number of captives is limited after all, in order to alleviate the problem of insufficient Khitan population, they turned their eyes to the Tang Dynasty.

It coincided with the emperor's order to reclaim land in the northeast, and many people in the pass migrated, so that Yelu Yao and Yelu Puhua seized the opportunity."

"Well, on the way to Youzhou, I discussed with Concubine De Niangniang, and the conclusion I came to was similar to your guess!" Yang Yue nodded slightly, Lu Yixiu came to this conclusion, proving that the other party was not slacking off in Youzhou.

In the chaos, the group arrived at Youzhou Mansion, Yang Yue, Xu Wennuo, He Qinxin, Luo Meiren, and Yu Meiren stayed in the former Yanwang Mansion.

Returning to Yanwang's Mansion, Yang Yue felt very cordial, and the old slave who stayed behind instructed the maid to serve tea for Yang Yue and his party, and then went to prepare meals for Yang Yue, Xu Wennuo and others.

In the study, Yang Yue sat on his tiger skin soft couch again, Luo Shishang, Lu Yixiu, Zhao Junxian, Guo Huaiyuan, and Zhao Xuanhu sat on both sides.

Luo Shishang picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm tea, moistened his throat, and immediately turned sideways and clasped his fists to Yang Yue and said: "Your Majesty, recently, the Khitan wolves have been shouting outside the Great Wall, and the last general has led the troops out of the pass several times, and has figured out the number of Khitan wolf riders outside the pass, as well as the place where the soldiers are hidden, and is discussing with Lord Lu and Lord Zhao, trying to teach the other party a lesson."

"General Luo, this time I must teach the Khitan a lesson, give Yelu Yao, Yelu Puhua a hard blow, on the way to Youzhou, General Guo has already passed on my will to Duanmu Ye, the general manager of the Liaozhou march, and instructed Duanmu Ye to be vigilant against Yelu Puhua.

You lead the army to hold the Hebei Road, and the first-line defenders will not move, monitor the Khitan wolf cavalry outside the pass, and wait for the opportunity."

Hearing Yang Yue's words, Luo Shishang was slightly surprised, and muttered secretly, isn't the emperor ready to destroy the Khitans?
