Chapter 243: Li Yan patrolled Henan to the south

After Li Yan listened to Gao Yihuan's words, he couldn't cry or laugh.

He just said that he wanted to give Gao Yihuan a little fine iron, but this guy actually kicked his nose in the face, and even his mine had to be taken away, which was really greedy.

Li Yan was so angry that he laughed, pointed at him and said, "Yihuan, you are so bold." ”

The mine is the property of the Dashun Dynasty, but Gao Yihuan has no consciousness in his heart.

Gao Yihuan smiled, "Jie Shuai, the mine is in my hands, I will make him more valuable and make more cannons!" ”

Li Yan stared at Gao Yihuan, and suddenly said, "I'm afraid you don't take Da Shun Dynasty in your eyes at all!" ”

According to the appointment given to Gao Yihuan by the Dashun court, the area he nominally controls should be the land of Runing, Nanyang, and Xiangyang, Luyi, Chenzhou, Xiangcheng and other places, one belongs to Guide, and the other belongs to Kaifeng, which should not be controlled by him, but he holds it in his hands and does not let go.

If it weren't for the fact that most of Henan was damaged by the war and became dilapidated, and the province had not even managed Luoyang and other places well, and there was no energy to take care of it, otherwise he would have been dealt with a long time ago.

It stands to reason that in these places, the province will sooner or later exercise power, but Li Yan took a look around Luyi, Gao Yihuan repaired water conservancy, built Tunbao, and spent huge sums of money to build cities, where is there a trace of meaning to return to the province.

None of this money came from the Dashun court, but Gao Yihuan paid out of his own pocket.

Li Yan didn't believe that Gao Yihuan built Luyi well in order to return it to the province, he didn't have such a high sentiment.

Looking at his posture in Luyi, it is clear that he is running Luyi as his own home, and it is clear that he doesn't want to leave or pay it back.

The problems in these places have not been solved, and Gao Yihuan wants to stretch out his hand to Ruzhou again, and he is really bold.

His reasons seem to be high-sounding, but in fact they are eroding the power and wealth of Dashun.

Gao Yihuan smiled and said nothing.

Li Yan saw his disapproving appearance, and his heart was even more angry, he already knew his true thoughts.

"Jie Shuai, why did you go out of the mountain to help the army in the first place?" Gao Yihuan suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

Li Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but Gao Yihuan continued, "Jie Shuai, I saw that the imperial court was rotten and the people of Zhongzhou were in dire straits, so I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to use the power of the army to end the turmoil in the world as soon as possible and return peace to the people." ”

This time, Li Yan didn't speak, and several henchmen behind him glanced at each other, obviously they followed Li Yan, and they also agreed with the idea.

Gao Yihuan suddenly pointed to the green wheat field outside Luyi City, as well as the people who were working hard, and said proudly: "I did it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Gao Yihuan, Li Yan glared at Gao Yihuan for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "That's it, that's it!" ”

At this point, I can't continue for the time being.

Knowing that you are Gao Yihuan, Li Yan hurriedly waved his hand and ended the topic.

At this time, he couldn't help but sigh, he helped the Shun army, he really wanted to reduce the suffering of the people, but things never developed in the direction he imagined.

He hoped that Li Zicheng could stabilize Zhongzhou, but Li Zicheng flooded Kaifeng and killed millions of people, he hoped that Li Zicheng could recuperate, accumulate strength, and suspend the Eastern Crusade, but Li Zicheng did not listen to him.

"If you want the mine, I'll give it to you." Li Yan said a little desolately: "If you get the mine, you will always ensure the safety of the party." In the world, there are very few people like you who can benefit the people and protect one side. ”

Gao Yihuan saw that Li Yan's expression was a little vicissitudes, he seemed to be blocked by something in his heart, and he was a little sympathetic to Li Yan, so he suddenly said: "Jie Shuai, you have done enough for the people of Zhongzhou, and you have done your best." ”

Li Yan didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, he waved his hand, "You said that the mine is in your hands, it will be more valuable, and you can make more guns." Let's go, take me to see your cannon foundry, and let me know what you're saying! ”

"The cannon casting workshop is in Runing, the festival commander should rest for a day and then leave!" Gao Yi said.

"What, do you still need to prepare first?" Li Yan shook his head and said, "I don't have to rest, I'll leave today!" ”

After Li Zicheng ordered the Eastern Crusade, Gao Yihuan knew that with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the real troubled times were coming.

After Gao Yihuan returned to southern Henan from Guanzhong, he ordered all departments not to take the initiative to provoke incidents, and began to focus on cultivating internal strength.

In the past two years, his army has expanded rapidly, but in terms of economy, it is very weak, and many things cannot be assets.

In order to change this situation and enhance his internal strength, Gao Yihuan built workshops in Runing, Nanyang and other places to prepare self-produced weapons, armor, agricultural tools and other war materials.

Since the end of last year, after Liu Liangzuo turned against him and the business route was severed, workshops for textiles, agricultural tools, porcelain, gunpowder, woodware, and smelting were initially set up in various localities.

Gao Yihuan is not talented enough, he only masters, weapons, armor, cannon casting and other workshops, other workshops, he sent a construction team, built a red brick workshop, injected funds, let businessmen bid for contracting, and adopted the mode of official supervision and business management, so that the whole system was initially sound.

This method is not necessarily good, but he can make various industries quickly start from scratch, and Gao Yihuan can also control these workshops, so as to produce and dispatch materials according to his needs.

In the current special period, it is undoubtedly a good choice for the government to supervise and commercialize, and as for the problems he has caused, they will be left to be solved in the future.

Under the leadership of Gao Yihuan, Li Yan and his entourage soon arrived in Runing again.

As soon as they entered the city, they saw that the streets in the city were paved with a layer of red bricks, and on both sides were drainage ditches, so that when it rained, the streets would not be muddy, and the city would not be flooded.

For more than a year, the planning of Runing City has been clear-cut, with a clear division of residential areas, yamen districts, commercial districts, and military districts, wide main roads, red bricks, and improved drainage, so that there will be no problems for decades.

Li Yan and his entourage, when they entered Runing, were undoubtedly shocked again.

Luyi and Runing are two different types of cities.

One is military-oriented, and the other is urban-dweller.

As they walked down the street, they saw rows of red brick houses on both sides, and the streets were bustling with traffic.

After resting in the city for a while, everyone traveled lightly, leading only a dozen guards to the workshop area on the banks of the Rushui River.

There are also rows of red brick houses, which are not aesthetically pleasing, but they are shocking.

When the group arrived, it was noon, and the employees and craftsmen of the various workshops happened to come out for dinner.

Li Yan and the others couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw thousands of people pouring out of the workshop at once.

At this time, the officials of the armory came to greet them, and Gao Yihuan ordered them to bring the firearms from the arsenal.

After a while, one artillery piece, as well as earth-shattering thunder and bird guns, took turns to practice.

After Li Yan saw it, he said to Gao Yihuan: "The defense envoy of southern Henan has indeed wronged you. I don't think it's a problem for Yihuan to do a festival. ”
