Chapter Ninety-Nine: The One Who Makes Good Use of Power

Throughout August, Yanbei stayed in Lelang County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the one hand, it is to take care of Yan Dong's injury, people are always extremely weak when they are seriously injured, Yan Bei thinks that having him by his side can at least make Yan Dong feel a little soothed. On the other hand, it is to impart some experience in governance to the recruits.

Although Yan Bei's own ability to govern has definitely not reached the level of being able to govern a county, and even in some ways he is not even as good as Yan Dong. But he saw first-hand how he developed Liaodong County to where it is today, and some key measures were completed with his help.

When the governance was implemented, he naturally lacked something, but he pointed out the problems in the county from a commanding position...... To put it bluntly, Yanbei has this ability.

He is not a good guard, but if he wants to be the shepherd of a state, he must be stronger than more than half of the shepherds in the world.

Taishou Yandong was injured, and the important military and political affairs fell on the shoulders of Zhaozhao...... Fortunately, Yanbei does not have too many requirements, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, in addition to recruiting troops, the only mission handed over to the recruitment is to use the Tuntian system to enrich the warehouse.

Recruitment, field pawns, reclamation, tuntian.

That's all Yanbei requires.

Because of the special position of Lelang County, it is decided that the Taishou here must be served by the closest person in Yanbei, and he can't trust it in the hands of others, and he can't be allowed to believe it. Although Lelang County borders Liaodong, it seems to be isolated overseas, and the widest part of the land connected to Fanhan County in Liaodong is only more than 90 miles, and it also needs to cross mountains and rivers.

Compared to any other county in the world, this place seems to be a blessing from heaven to earth.

In the northwest of Liaodong, the natural checkpoint is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only 800 people are required to garrison it, and thousands of people can be blocked; Goguryeo in the east, separated by a water with a width of nearly 100 zhang and a single collar with a mountain height of nearly 100 zhang. To the south, there is the hometown of the mild-tempered Samhan Jin Kingdom, which is now divided into 78 countries, the largest of which is only a hundred miles away, and the small ones are like the hometown of the Han Dynasty. Although the countries attacked each other from time to time, they all bowed down to the Han Dynasty and paid tribute every year.

For Yanbei, Lelang County is a magical land...... There is no strong enemy outside, and the people are happy.

Although there are vast thousands of miles of land here, it seems that it will not play a role in Yanbei's future in the Central Plains and even north of the Yellow River, but Yanbei stubbornly believes that this place will bring great benefits to his future.

There are three benefits of Lelang, one is in money and food; two in manpower; Three in prestige.

The transportation of money, grain and manpower seems to be extremely difficult to hand over to Liaodong, if you take the land route, not to mention that Lelang County does not have more than 100,000 stone grain and grass per year, even if you can spare so much, the people needed for transshipment will spend sixty percent all the way over the mountains and mountains and across the river and river.

But Yanbei has ships, and he has a fleet in Wenxian County that can carry 30,000 stone grain and 5,000 soldiers at a time, and this fleet will grow stronger and stronger over time.

One month, it only takes one month to travel by sea from Liaodong to Lelang Hunmi by sea.

Lelang is rich in sandalwood and gold and iron, and the people are fishing and hunting, and the furs are innumerable. For a long time, the people did not rely on agriculture and mulberry as their business, and practiced fishing and hunting, which caused Lelang County to have many craftsmen today. Whether it is a goldsmith or a bow and armor maker, there are huge numbers in Lelang.

Lelang craftsmen are especially good at making sandalwood bows, and the good sandalwood can easily make the bow force reach one stone, which is a rare choice.

In addition, what Yanbei values more is prestige.

Lelang is the most marginal county of the Han Dynasty, with three Han and seventy-eight kingdoms descended from the Guchen Kingdom in the south; In the east, there are also countries such as Wofu and Mao; Then to the southeast to the sea, there is also a country called Wa, civil strife endlessly, divided into more than 100 countries.

These countries paid tribute to the Han Dynasty every year, passing through Lelang. To rule Lelang meant to be able to command them and rule them with the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

The real prestige overseas, how can Yanbei give up.

This year, Lelang has no money to spare, but in the coming year, with the help of Liaodong County, two water villages can be set up in Lelang, three school captains' camps, and the fleet flying the Yan's banner is rampaging the East China Sea, and a steady stream of strong bows and crossbows, gold and stone iron ore can be supplied to Liaodong in turn.

What would that look like?

Approaching September, the situation in Lelang County was on the right track, and the southern governor of the time when he was guarding Zhang Qi personally came to meet Yanbei...... This may be the power of prestige, when Yan Dong was recruited, the Goguryeo rebel general Juluo offered a seal letter to seek to return.

There were 3,000 people under Juluo, many of whom were Goguryeo rebels, all of whom were under Lelang County.

In a few days, when 3,000 soldiers and horses were recruited, Yanbei planned to transfer half of the Goguryeo rebels' capital commandery to the west to participate in the war against Liaoxi County.

Yan Dong's body is slowly improving, but he still can't sit up because of the injury on the edge of his flank, but the most dangerous period of sores has passed, and he can heal before autumn comes...... At this point, Yanbei Yu Lelang no longer cared, and after leaving Jiang Jin and two hundred guards for Yandong, he led Dian Wei on the road back to Liaodong.

Leaving Jiang Jin behind is naturally not to let him be Yan Dong's guard, but to let him assist in recruiting people, Yan Dong and Zhao are a little decent in their personalities, Yan Bei feels that this is very bad.

Kindness and integrity are good, but this must be contrasted to be reflected.

Leaving Jiang Jin as a villain, the people will be able to appreciate Yan Dong's goodness, and thus break their hearts for this young prince. In addition, leaving Jiang Jin was also for the sake of paying tribute to the envoys of Dongyi countries at the end of the year. Let them know themselves through Jiang Jin, and let them understand their own power.

When Yanbei's notoriety is known to everyone from the single leader to the neighboring countries in the East China Sea, his warrant will also be obeyed...... To treat the Han people, Yanbei should be educated and treat foreign races? It is enough to make them feel terrified.

Yanbei returned to Liaodong for nothing else, he wanted to personally greet his hero Tian Yu in Shuizhai in Wenxian County, and he was coming back.

The cavalry from Liaodong galloped all the way to Yanbei, far away in Lelang, bringing news that Tian Yu, who was originally scheduled to return in September, had encountered a storm at sea and avoided the outer islands, and would arrive in Wenxian County, Liaodong, in early October.

And the good news in the meantime is that there is not a single ship missing, even the one that ran aground on the way to the way was dragged back, and with a little trimming, it is another excellent warship!

At the beginning of September, Yanbei went to Xiangping, and the seer was frustrated, and ordered the county government to send 600 five-color silk scarves to Wenxian Shuizhai, and then met with the envoys of the Buyeo State.

The envoys of Fuyu have always been full of respect for Liaodong, as early as when Yanbei did not return, they heard that General Yan won a great victory in the war for the Kuangfu court in the Central Plains, and sent people to send 20 boxes of goods and jewelry, which were sealed in the treasury of Liaodong County, so Yanbei also respected the envoys of Fuyu...... In Yanbei's view, the Fuyu people are still very able to recognize the situation, Gongsun Du did not act in cahoots with him when he plotted to seize Liaodong, and now the two places border, Yanbei talked with them about the exchange of commercial markets and county garrisons.

Yanbei set up a mutual market in Gaoxian County, which borders Xuansu County and Fuyu State, just like the Shanggu mutual market between Youzhou and Wuhuan people, and the soldiers garrisoned two songs to eliminate smuggling.

Swords, spears, halberds, armor, bows, crossbows, iron ingots, steel ingots, this is something that Yanbei absolutely prohibits in the mutual market, and the additional soldiers sent by the two qu soldiers are also to strangle the smuggler Jia...... The former smugglers and bandits set up a clean and clean businessman.

He knew every trail on the mountain of Gaima that could be crossed by merchants, and all merchants had nothing to hide on those roads that they had to travel.

The so-called mutual market is organized by the caravan under the command of Yanbei, buying raw materials and selling handmade products, which is profitable.

However, when the Buyeo envoys left, the meeting that followed was not so simple.

Because the next guest is the Goguryeo prince who is studying at Xiangping Academy, Bachi.

"Baqi meets General Handu Liaoyan." Baqi stood in the hall and arched his hand, looking at this general who was the same age as him but famous all over the world, his demeanor was neither proud nor humble, but he bowed and said loudly in a not very authentic Liaodong accent: "General He Yan returned victorious." ”

Yanbei's performance was much more arrogant than Baqi's, and he just clenched his fists for a moment and reached out and said, "Please sit, Goguryeo prince." ”

"I don't know why the general called me here?"

Baqi already knew about Liaodong County, no, it was the three counties of Youdong that were all under the hands of the young Han general in front of him, and he knew that Yanbei's powerful ruling power was the same as his resentment against Yanbei.

Before Yanbei's southern expedition, he followed the advice of his staff Wang Yi and asked to see Yanbei many times, but he ate a lot of closed doors. Later, Yanbei went on an expedition to the south, and the return journey was far away, which made him even more irritable...... In order to succeed to the throne smoothly in the future, his younger brother Yi Yinmo tried his best to persuade his father to start a war with Liaodong County and Chen soldiers to Liangshui on the border between the two countries.

If it weren't for Tian Yu, the leader of Shuizhai, stabbing Gongsun to death with a sword to solve the dilemma in Liaodong, I am afraid that he, the prince of Goguryeo, would be like a turtle in an urn, just waiting to die in the chaotic army.

Baqi blamed Yanbei for his refusal to meet him in the face of Yan Bei this time, and if he could get the support of Liaodong County of the Han Dynasty earlier, he would not have been hiding in the east of the county during that time.

He wanted to visit Yanbei because he didn't bother to get help from Liaodong County in the Han Dynasty, and hoped to return Goguryeo earlier, but Yanbei didn't see him; Now he didn't want to go back, but Yanbei summoned him.

Can Batch not feel awkward!

Although Yan Bei didn't know why Baqi was a little sad in his words, even if he knew that he didn't care, he asked with a smile: "The gentleman of the academy said that some time ago, the prince of the world always drank and sang long songs late at night to express his depression, so he invited the prince to come over...... I heard people say that the prince of the world is homesick and wants to return to Goguryeo as soon as possible, is it because Yan's academy is not good for the prince? ”

Goguryeo's son Baqi, now in the hands of Yanbei can't walk or escape, speaking of which, Gongsun Du Yi Yinmo did a good thing for him, tying Baqi and Liaodong tightly together. Although it seems to be meaningless to feed Baqi now, Yanbei believes that this Baqi is like a pot of aging wine, and the longer it is buried in the ground, the more mellow it will be when the lid is lifted!

"Where did the general hear from you? Never! Baqi immediately became nervous when he heard Yanbei's words, clutched his clothes with both hands and said in a straight voice: "I have been admiring Hanxue for a long time, and I am dedicated to learning in the admission hall, even if I miss my hometown, I don't want to go back!" General Mingjian! ”

"The prince should know the story of Chong'er being in peace on the outside and Shen Sheng dying on the inside, right? Survival is not absolute inside and outside, and only those who can make good use of power can survive. Yanbei laughed loudly, there is a younger brother in Goguryeo who wants to kill him, at this time, it is strange that Baqi dares to go back! Yan Bei stood up, bypassed the case and held up Baqi, and said: "Baqi, Yan is the power for you to return Goguryeo!" ”
