Since the year before last, Yanbei led the army south to leave Youzhou, and Youzhou, which had lasted for several years of melee, finally calmed down, and there was no war and suffering, and there was only the banner of the Zong Yi chapter in ten counties and one country. The people were well fed and warmly clothed, and the scholars and heroes no longer worried about the death of the people of their clans. For the state capital, the most significant change is that Youzhou is no longer clearly divided into Youdong and Youxi, or Liaodong County and its subjects are independent of the state capital.

The current Youzhou is a whole.

Youzhou, like Emperor Xiaowu in the past, set up an iron official in Yuyang to be in charge of forging matters, but this is different from the pre-Han dynasty because smelting and forging are completely separated. In the past, there were iron ore and coal in Liaodong County, and the old process of 'smelting iron from the mountain with coal' was still followed. It was used for the situation of lack of soldiers and short armor in the early days of Liaodong County, when weapons did not pay attention to quality, but required a huge quantity.

Liaodong Tiewu has a huge output of iron soldiers, but the quality of armor is uneven, and craftsmen are not proficient in the method of frying steel, and the probability of producing high-quality steel is very low.

In this era, no one knew that coal contained too much sulfur and other substances to cause such a result, and the same was true of Lei Gong, the iron official of Youzhou, who just avoided coal mines from the bottom of his heart...... The coal mine is called the ash robbery in this era, which comes from the fact that the Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty passed through Kunming Lake to get these black stones, and asked the civil and military forces to know what it was.

When Emperor Xiaoming arrived, there were people from the Western Regions who went to Luoyang, and some people remembered Dongfang Shuo's words, so they asked people how these black stones were formed. After the vicissitudes of the East and the West, people already know that black stone has the effect of burning, but most of the impurities are mottled, and the effect of burning is similar to that of wolf smoke, and it is difficult to mine and the price is high, so it is not liked by people.

Dao Renyun, this is the ashes of the previous life. And the Indian monk Zhu Falan of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang is cloudy: The world will eventually be burned in the fire cave, and this ash is also.

So far, the name of coal for the ashes has been spread in the world for more than 100 years.

Zhang Leigong felt that this was a bad thing in his heart, not to mention that iron smelting could not compare to the function of high-quality charcoal. Therefore, at the beginning of the Youzhou Iron Official, Don't drive Xun Yue to ask Lei Gong about the place where the Iron Official was established, and after Lei Gong selected the forests from all over the country, he set up in Pinggu, Yuyang County, the most mountainous and forested Pinggu, and cut down the trees on a large scale, and burned the best charcoal in the world for frying steel.

After having the experience of being in charge of Liaodong Iron and Wu Iron Smelting and Forging, Yuyang Iron Officer was handy in Zhang Leigong's opinion. The whole Youzhou prohibits the use of coal and iron smelting, a total of 42 mines, and 42 Tiewu are set up, all of which are smelted with high-quality charcoal to smelt iron ore, smelted into ingots and sent to Yuyang, and then the best blacksmiths from Youzhou counties who have been immersed in this road for decades to forge the world's sharp weapons for the Yan army.

In the past, Zhang Leigong was the most brave warrior, but unfortunately he failed to achieve his own feats on the battlefield, so he injured his leg bones and could no longer run and walk. Yan Bei did not abandon him, but let him take charge of Tiewu, who had no more than 100 craftsmen back then, and took thousands of gold to pay for it...... Lei Gong couldn't forget that at that time, Yanbei sold the underworld weapons obtained by his subordinates Jiang Jin and other Hun people who dug graves and robbed tombs, and all the assets were less than 2,000 gold.

Up to now, the Youzhou Iron Officials are in charge of more than 10,000 craftsmen in various places, and the armor, bows, crossbows, and iron and wood abilities are all made by him, and whenever he sees the brand-new blades in the arsenal sent to Jizhou, and finally wielded on the battlefield, Lei Gong feels that he is also fighting hard for the hegemony of the Yan clan with those weapons.

In Youzhou, Lei Gong, who is fighting for hegemony, is not alone. Although Youzhou was pacified, as the Yan ruling center moved south to Ye again, many people were in Youzhou, but their hearts had already drifted to the north bank of the Yellow River, such as Xun Yue, who was in Youzhou.

The pre-Qin swept through the six countries, and the root of it was that the Shang Dynasty believed that the world was a major event, and the only thing that the Qin people valued was cultivation and war. Xun Yue thinks that the general trend is far more complicated than the word ploughing and warfare, but that is not something that Yanbei needs to consider. Xun Yue thinks that the current Yanbei only needs to consider the loyalty to the Han family, and other things don't have to be considered.

Because he is responsible for farming, and there are Yan generals who are responsible for fighting.

The great power of the world is nothing more than those who have great aspirations. When he has great ambition in his heart, there is no one in the world who can stop him.

Today's Youzhou has 3 million people, and it has also benefited from the initial implementation of the field policy, and all the obstacles have been removed, and the surplus land in the state capital is rented to the people, and each young and strong person is given 50 acres of land, and the women and children are 30 acres, and they are rented for five years to become their own land...... This time is not something Xun Yue said casually, but takes into account the overall situation of the Yan clan in the north at the moment. Within five years, Xun Yue estimates that there will be a big war, not to mention that he has to take care of Jizhou, which is the time that requires a huge amount of grain and grass. The land was rented to the people for farming, and the state government received much more food than taxes, and the people who had taken refuge in various places would not starve to death.

And the real wealth of Youzhou will have to wait until after all the farmers in Youzhou have land, and then three years. Xun Yue thinks that Youzhou in eight years is what he wants to see the world.

The people are safe, and the people are in their hearts...... It's just that Xun Yue hasn't thought about it yet, when the time comes, will the hearts of the people belong to the Han family or the Yan family?

In addition to the young men sent by the Black Mountain who were recruited by the Zhangnian Department in Jizhou, they stepped on the wind and snow in the early years and followed the Hanoi Taishou Guo Xin to take office, and the recruitment of the four captains other than Dian Wei in Youzhou was also carried out in an orderly manner, and Hehun Lu, who went to Goguryeo, was blocked by heavy snow in the host city on the border of Hankel because of the long distance, that is, the former Susheng Bone City, and did not arrive in Goguryeo until late January; In addition to him, Yan Rou who went to Wuhuan in the north and Beiyan who recruited troops in Liaodong County were extremely smooth.

Both the Wuhuan people and the Liaodong people applied for recruitment after hearing the news that the Yan clan had recruited troops from Youzhou again, hoping to win their own future. Everyone knows that the current Yan Shogunate is the time to employ people, and the matter of sealing four generals in a row some time ago has spread in Youzhou, but as long as the Kenlang who is skilled in archery and horses, who doesn't want to be crowned with the title of general in the future?

If it had been before the acquisition of Jizhou, the recruitment would never have gone so smoothly, but the situation today is very different. Not to mention the mountain village Yefu who doesn't have much knowledge, even Yanbei, who traveled south and north in the early years, only traveled all over the border of Youzhou, and even Jizhou has not been to it a few times...... In the eyes of the people of Youzhou Township, the world is only as big as the north, and now this land is all obtained by Yanbei.

This is the power that only emperors have!

Whether it is Youzhou or Jizhou, although Yanbei is still less than thirty years old, among those who have not seen him, the name of Yan Gong has gradually spread.

It was only at this time that the Suli tribe north of the Great Wall sent a letter to Jizhou, saying that he had recruited four thousand of the most brave Xianbei warriors according to the requirements of the Yan clan, and single-handedly, he did not know whether he should lead his troops to Yecheng.

There is a change in the north of Youzhou!
