Youzhou, also known as Jicheng, from Jin to Sui, Youzhou thorn history is governed by thistle. Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan 18 years (730 years), divided the east of Youzhou Yuyang, Yutian, Sanhe and other three counties to set Jizhou, the name of the later generations of thistle gradually used to refer to today's Jinji County area, the original Youzhou Jicheng is mostly called Youzhou City, generally no longer called Ji.

The old Youzhou City is a Xiongcheng fortress, the scale of Youzhou City, nine miles from north to south of the city, seven miles from east to west, and ten gates are opened. The circumference is 32 li, about 23 li today (about 0.72 li per Tang li), and it is a rectangular city that is slightly longer from north to south and slightly narrower from east to west.

In the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Zhuo County, and it was restored to Youzhou during the Tang Wude period, which was the rear base of the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo. During the Tianbao period, An Lushan was called the emperor here, and after the Anshi rebellion subsided, it was relocated to Youzhou, and it was controlled by the envoys of the Lulong Festival. For more than 100 years since then, it has been firmly in control of more than a dozen states under its jurisdiction, and has always been the base camp of one of the three powerful feudal domains in the north.

Youzhou is an important military town and commercial center in the north, and the status and role of Youzhou City in the Tang Dynasty are more prominent. Whenever the country is strong, it will use Youzhou City as a strategic base to expand its territory; When the country is in decline, it becomes an important place for military defense; When the country was stable, it became a trade center in the north, promoting economic and cultural exchanges between the Han and the northern nomads.

The army of the Zhendong Army entered Youzhou City, Li Jing straddled the horse, and Li Keju was a horse's head behind, following Li Jing. While still smiling and introducing Youzhou City to Li Jing, he seemed to be a hospitable host. Li Jing also had a warm spring breeze on his face, but in fact, it was just a smirk. There is not the slightest emotion in between. He knew it in his heart. Even if he and Li Keju are close on the surface now. It's just a matter of interest, in fact, maybe this kid hates himself in his heart, after all, his father also died in the hands of Li Jing.

Li Jing also accepted Li Keju as a nephew before, only to suddenly find out that he had known Li Keju for a long time. This kid went to southern Liaoning as Li Maoxun's envoy last time and talked to him about a deal. At that time, this kid didn't say that he was Li Maoxun's son, and this fact made Li Jing a little more wary of this guy. This is a guy who can endure and have a sharp eye. If Li Maoxun is a wild wolf. This Li Keju is a poisonous snake.

"Youzhou has been an important town in the north since ancient times, and now Youzhou City is not only a strong city, but also very developed in commerce, and there are more than 30 kinds of industries in the city alone. There are many kinds of industries, the division of labor in the industry is very fine, there are rice line, white rice line, rice line, japonica rice line, slaughter line, meat line, oil line, five ripe line, fruit line, pepper bamboo shoot line, charcoal line, pig iron line, grinding line, cloth line, silk line, small silk line, color silk line, cotton line, head line, new goods line, grocery line, boot line and so on. In addition to the silk fabrics produced in Youzhou, there are also products from other places. There are also various metal tools and household utensils such as hoes, shovels, plows, hammers, knives, and hooks in the market. Speaking of this, Li Keju said to Li Jing with a smile: "Here, the best thing to sell is the goods from Dengzhou, various shops and firms. As long as there are Dengzhou goods for sale in a dozen, the business will definitely be hot. There is no price in the market. ”

The planning of Youzhou City is very good, there are squares and cities. "Fang", also known as Li, is generally called "Lifang", which is the grassroots division unit in the city in the Tang Dynasty. The square of Youzhou City is a cross street, which is divided into four districts, and each district is divided into 4 districts by a cross, that is, 16 districts per square. The pattern of the square is the shape of the field, there are square walls on all sides, each opens a door, and there is an alley between the two opposite doors to pass, showing a cross shape.

Many of the names in Youzhou City are also very famous, such as Zongbin Fang, Lulong Fang, Sushen Fang, Huayan Fang, Liaoxi Fang, Tongma Fang, Jibei Fang, Yandu Fang, Jundu Fang, Zhaoshengli, Quy Nhon Li, Dongtong Yuanli, Quanli Fang, Shihe, Zunhuali, Pingshuo Fang, Kuitai Tongyuan Fang, Xianzhong Fang, Yongping Fang, Qili Fang, Tongxian Fang, Ji Ning Li, Beiluo Fang, Tangyin Fang. and so on, some of the squares, such as Zongbin Fang, Su Shen Fang, are inhabited by some Hu people. Zongbinfang is inhabited by the soldiers of the Western Regions Zongbin State who had accompanied Tang Taizong to conquer Liao, while Sushenfang is the people of the Heishui Jing Ya tribe who lived.

"The nephew also wants to follow his uncle's example in Dengzhou, and he also wants to increase trade and trade. However, Lulong Town has very little output, and I want to buy more goods from Dengzhou to sell in the future, I wonder if Uncle Lu Dao is willing to agree? ”

"It's a good thing, commodity circulation trade, it's a win-win thing. It will not only allow our workshops in Dengzhou to increase the output of orders, but also allow workers and owners to make more money. Similarly, the sale of goods in Youzhou not only enriches the lives of the people of Youzhou, but also promotes trade. For this proposal, Li Keju just didn't mention it, and Li Jing would also let him open these trade routes. As a big town, Youzhou has more than a dozen states, and it is very close to Dengzhou, which is the best place to sell goods. However, in the past, Youzhou Town had many checkpoints and imposed heavy taxes on many foreign goods, so few goods from Dengzhou were sold to Youzhou Town. This time, of course, Li Jing has to settle this matter and make Youzhou a big sales town for Dengzhou goods. For the time being, the soldiers and horses could not occupy Youzhou, so they first took the commerce and trade of Youzhou.

That night, Li Keju was excited about the banquet again, and gave wine and meat rewards to the soldiers of the Zhendong Army. Li Keju's two younger sisters also tied the knot with Li Jing's two nephews that night. It was lively until midnight.

Early the next morning, Li Keju invited Li Jing to discuss the matter.

Lu Longshuai's mansion, Li Jing and the generals came with two guard battalions. As soon as the people arrived, Liu Xun and Wang Yanzhang immediately took the guard battalion to take over the guards in the Shuaifu and nearby.

Li Zhen and Lin Wu Wang Zhong and the other Zhendong Army Wenwu entered the Shuai Hall first, and Li Keju and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"Zhendong County Gong has arrived!" With Zhao Jiang's loud shout.

Outside the festival hall, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and then I saw a golden sweaty BMW knocking on the iron hooves and breaking in. There was a burst of exclamations in the hall, the hall was heavy, and they were not even allowed to bring weapons when they were usually deliberating, but now someone actually rode into the hall, and their surprise could be imagined.

The sweaty and bloody horse, which was more than five feet tall, was one foot taller than an ordinary war horse, nearly one person tall. On the back of the shining golden BMW, Li Jing is dressed in gold treasure armor today, and the cloak on his body is also a shining gold cloak. The sword on his waist was also replaced with a gold-sheathed golden wolf-headed sword, which was as dazzling as it was.

Li Jing drove the BMW all the way to the top position of the festival hall, the war horse shook his head and sneezed, and a trace of annoyance flashed on Li Keju's face, who was originally sitting there, but then suppressed it again. He got up with a forced smile on his face and said, "Uncle is so bright today, he is really like a unicorn and a dragon." ”

The sweaty BMW who had just been praised for a few words was very unwilling to give face, and in front of the full house of civil and military, he directly pulled a bunch of on the hall. A foul smell blew, and Li Maju's smile stiffened on his face.

Li Jing turned over and dismounted, and sat straight on top of Li Keju's original seat.

Li Keju was stunned, didn't say anything after the last moment, beckoned someone to clean up the pile of, and then calmly asked someone to move a chair and sit under Li Jing's left head.

Today, Li Keju invited Li Jing to come, in fact, it is very simple, that is, he wants to return to him the cities of Huichang, Gu'an, Binhai, Changzhou, and Vaud, which Li Jing now occupies. As for Li Jing's current stay in Youzhou City, he didn't mention it.

"No problem." Li Jing said very bluntly, "But for the time being, there are still many wounded of our army in those cities, and it is inconvenient to move for a while." Just let them stay there for the time being, a few more people won't make a difference anyway. It won't affect you, as for the defense of the city, let them help you defend it first. ”

This is a round-the-turn refusal, these cities are Li Jing's back roads all the way to Youzhou, of course Li Jing has to stay guarded. If it is handed over to Li Keju, although Li Jing does not have to worry about what tricks he dares to play, Li Jing has always disliked to give the right to choose to the other party.

Li Keju touched a nail, and his chest rose and fell a little quickly, but he still quickly suppressed it. Then he asked: "Uncle is now taking over the imperial court's recruitment of the eastern camp capital, and now that the Shatuo people have defeated the imperial court soldiers and horses in a row, I don't know when Uncle Lu Dao is going to enter Datong?" ”

Li Jing and the Zhendong Army entered Youzhou City, although it was said that the military discipline was good and there was no crime in the autumn, but it was not easy to have an extra emperor on the head. He wished that Li Jing could leave sooner, and the faster he walked, the better.

"The soldiers have to rest for some time." Li Jing replied very simply, which made Li Keju's heart twitch again. Li Jing glanced at Li Keju meaningfully, and chuckled: "What's the matter, is the virtuous nephew already sure that he can deal with those people who covet your handsome position alone?" I heard that Liu Yue and Fan Xinglong have united many Lu Long generals and academies, and gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of Yanzhou, Guishun Prefecture, and Xianzhou in the northeast of Youzhou, and it seems that they are about to move. ”

Li Keju also knew the news for a long time, but he thought that now that he had recognized Li Jing as his uncle, with this relationship, Liu Yue and the others should not dare to come to attack him even if they didn't listen to their orders.

Li Jing shook his head: "What the virtuous nephew thinks is too simple, some people don't remember the pain. If they don't teach them a lesson, they don't know how powerful they are. Now that you have worshiped me as your uncle, our two families are married together. These people are coming at you, that is, they will not give me Li Jing's face. Don't worry, I'll help you settle this matter. ”

"Uncle wants to send troops to deal with Liu Yue and Fan Xinglong?" Li Keju's tone was full of excitement. Liu Yue and the others are now gathering troops and horses, obviously wanting to grab the position of commander. If Li Jing is willing to make a move, then there is nothing to worry about. It's just that Li Jing is suddenly so kind. (To be continued......)
