Chapter 1024: War
Qin Liangyu rushed to Yuzhou, and after disguising herself as a man, she trained in the Luoyang military camp.
It is better to lie in how to convince the people and make the army completely return to their hearts. In this regard, it can also play a certain role in exercising.
"Okay, the recovery is good at the moment, and you can go to the ground properly, but you still have to pay more attention." Zhou Shaoyu finished massaging Bai's ankles, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and said easily.
In fact, this little work is not tiring at all, but it can't stand Bai's nervous and embarrassed appearance, which makes Zhou Shaoyu nervous. Maybe Dong Xiaowan would be better if she wasn't there, but in front of her daughter, she might not be embarrassed.
Dong Xiaowan took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Zhou Shaoyu, and said softly: "It's hard work for Zhou Lang." ”
"What's the matter, your own family, you're welcome." Zhou Shaoyu smiled and didn't care.
Dong Xiaowan was a little sensitive to that sentence from her family, so she immediately shook her head and didn't think about it anymore.
"What's wrong? I always feel like you've had something on your mind these days. Zhou Shaoyu knocked really and couldn't help but be curious.
Dong Xiaowan hurriedly shook her head and explained: "No, it's just, it's just a little inexplicably boring." ”
"Hmm, could it be that you've been bored at home for a long time? Why don't you go out and play? Zhou Shaoyu did not doubt him.
"It's okay." Dong Xiaowan shook his head and shifted: "I heard that the competition at the entrance of Bingzhou City is about to start, is it really okay if you don't go?" ”
This is the various contests held for the Turks. Zhou Shaoyu thought for a while and said: "It's a little too late, unless you go all the way, it's too lucky, after all, the charter and everything have been sorted out, there shouldn't be any mistakes, it's better to hand it over to Xu Miaojin to attend." ”
Xu Miaojin is the chief official of the state on the bright side, and in the case that Zhou Shaoyu is unable to attend, it is naturally appropriate for her to come forward.
However, in the end, I still underestimate the interest of the girls, and it is rare to have an interesting story, how can I miss it? It's a big deal to keep a low profile.
It turns out that even if Ainur is now under the fence, he still has a certain influence on the grassland, and most of the tribes have responded to the invitation, which is probably nothing more than sending a team, and if he can win the first place, the reward will be rich. Not to mention, the market can also trade in-demand materials.
Of course, the materials at the entrance of the market are also limited, but they are sold in limited quantities, and they strive to take more care of the tribes, but Rao is so, if you go late, you may have to wait for how long to wait for the next batch of materials. There is no way, and the state is still a little poor after all.
In contrast, Gao Yuyao, who is sitting in Qingzhou, is much more comfortable, backed by the wealthy Jingshi and the land south of the Yangtze River, and the monopoly transaction with Ashina Huqin can no longer be earned. In addition, the trade route with Silla has also been opened, and it has begun to exchange with each other, and it is a big profit to come and go.
Although the tax revenue of the country's own territory is becoming more and more unsightly, the national treasury has become more abundant as a result.
It's not right, to be precise, it's better to say that the inner treasury in charge of Gao Yuyao is getting richer and richer, the treasury is still so poor, some things can't be stopped by killing a few officials, and those who should be greedy will still be greedy, which can be seen from the pitiful tax revenue.
In the final analysis, some of the scholars in Jiangnan are getting more and more excessive.
Gao Yuyao originally planned to secretly send people to the land of South Vietnam to solicit in order to plan the overall situation, but at first it was not known, and the contacts were relatively small forces, which was quite smooth, but as the progress went backwards, the resistance became greater and greater, and Gao Yuyao could understand why South Vietnam had indeed maintained a high degree of chaos.
To put it bluntly, in order to ensure their own interests, those scholars in Jiangnan are not only being detained and controlling various large and small forces, but they will even secretly form a fleet and put them overseas as pirates, but this one can already make these scholars make a lot of money.
Originally, the trade route to the north would not be so smooth, but the situation in the north was erosive, and after the war, the cards were reshuffled, even if there were still remnants, they could not compete with Gao Yuyao at all, so it was very simple to monopolize it.
And to the south......
In fact, as long as you look back, it is not difficult to find that Gao Yuyao killed so many officials, but the Jiangnan Dashi clan did not move at all, at most, they killed a few marginal characters as a test. Don't look at Gao Yuyao who is now in control of the army, but many things cannot be solved by brute force, and if there is chaos in Jiangnan at that time, the situation will be quite unstable.
You can imagine that if Gao Yuyao's persecution was too tight, causing the Jiangnan Shi clan to join forces to make a rebellion, these people would definitely not rebel openly, but they would use methods to elevate the power of the imperial court, and the decree would not be reached, and in fact, it would still not be under their control.
If this situation is just to send people to inspect, it will be difficult to shake the local gentry, but it is a bit unjustifiable to send troops directly, and no matter how you choose, it will be boring.
Even if you can't help but go south, then you really want to force people to rebel, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of negative news about Gao Yuyao among the people. That's it, the question is, is the girder really so peaceful?
The southward movement of the army means that the defense of the northern border will be lax, and in the northern border, there are both foreign enemies and Turks, as well as chaotic thieves and fire phoenixes, as long as the two are not stupid, they will at least take advantage of the civil strife in Daliang to come over to fight the autumn wind.
Therefore, Gao Yuyao has to endure it, even if she has been in Qingzhou for a long time, she still has no intention of going back, and it is useless for the ministers of the DPRK and China to urge. She is waiting, waiting for her newly built naval division to take shape, and when the fleet goes south, then the initiative can be completely controlled in the hands of Gao Yuyao, and at that time, the oppression of the Jiangnan Shi clan is not only the effect of doubling the result with half the effort.
Unfortunately, the only bad thing is ......
"In the end, it's the north, this climate is going to be colder after all." After the review, Gao Yuyao was a little sleepy, wrapped in the leather jacket on her body, and felt bored. It's okay now, at least it's not so cold that you don't want to go out, and after a while, you'll be staying in the house all day, and then it's only going to be more boring. After thinking about it, he wrote a note and sealed it, and ordered: "Someone, quickly hand over this letter to King Jin." ”
Gao Yuyao was bored, but the girls in Bingzhou were a little hilarious, and it was rare to have fun, how could they not participate?
Because it is intensively built, this arena is still quite simple, but the scale is large enough to be watched by tens of thousands of people, and now the competition has not officially begun, and it is in the warm-up time for performances, equestrian, dancing, etc., attracting applause.
Thousands of people shouted in unison, but the scene was also spectacular, and in such an atmosphere, it was difficult for people not to be excited.
In the stands, there are many itinerant vendors selling them, probably some drinks and fruits, and it is not difficult to see from Ainur's smiling and pretty face that this alone has made a lot of money.
The first of the opening match was a ten-person team competition, and there was no need to pay attention to the rules in the huge ring, except for the lack of weapons, you could fight as much as you wanted, as long as you beat people to their stomachs and couldn't stand up or drive them out of the ring, they won. It is worth mentioning that this first team was actually sent by Ashina Huqin! And judging by the strength of those members, it is obvious that they are not just sending a few people over to make up the numbers.
As the host and even the organizer, Ainur can of course carry out a black-box operation, and it seems that the lottery will be drawn at will, but in fact, it has already been arranged, it is good that this team does not win, but if it wins all the way, there is no shortage of good players in those tribes.
Each team has a total of 15 people in the 10-person team competition, and five of them are substitutes, after all, there will definitely be participants who are seriously injured or even hung up. If there are few people in the end, I'm sorry, and one person has to do it, what if it is reversed? yes, the audience loves to watch this.
The girls are basically not interested in this kind of fighting, this thing is strange and bloody, mainly to come and feel the lively atmosphere, just stay in the high platform room prepared for VIPs, as for watching the game, the main thing is to watch the women's dance events interspersed in it.
"You're finally here." Xu Miaojin was dressed in men's clothes, and hugged Ainur's shoulders with a big grin, and the two are now quite familiar.
This also makes sense, Xu Miaojin, she has a special fetish, fortunately, she is quite honest, at least she didn't start with Zhou Shaoyu's sister at will, but Ainur doesn't matter, she can't be considered a sister of the Zhou family, and as a foreigner, her concept is already a lot opener, especially when she is a woman, she doesn't care about some of Xu Miaojin's small actions at all.
Ainur smiled and said with a grin: "I just went to bet there to find out the situation, as long as Ashina Huqin's team can win, we can make a lot of money." ”
Don't look at Ashina Huqin as a khan, his team seems to be tall and tall on the surface, but the members of it are not very famous. And the team of another tribe, several of which are famous warriors on the grassland, are using hard publicity before the game, both openly and secretly, and basically think that Ashina Huqin's team is here to play soy sauce.
In addition to the above reasons, another better understanding is what is the relationship between Ashina Huqin and Ainur? Is it completely hostile, if Ashina Huqin sends a real warrior over, he is not afraid that Ainur will kill him? In any case, I won't be happy to see Ashina Huqin win.
Therefore, Ashina Huqin will inevitably not send a real good hand.
Compared with each other, there are only a handful of bets on Ashina's team, but there are many bettors on the other side.
"I never thought it would be so profitable before!" Ainul's face was beaming. "I really don't know how Shaoyu came up with it."
The girls looked at each other and didn't say a word. The heart said that this is not something that Zhou Shaoyu figured out from himself, and they have more or less understood something in the afterlife. Oh, except for a few indigenous girls present.
In fact, the whole process is not just about making a hand!
In the market, except for the large transactions with the tribes, which can be bartered, other aspects need to use silver money, which also leads to the spectators who come to watch on the grassland, can only exchange the materials in their hands for silver money to bet, and all the shops that buy materials in the city are jointly opened by Zhou Shaoyu and Ainur, so how can they not reduce the price?
Maybe the Turks won't feel that they are at a loss, but as long as they pull these things to the south and change hands, they will not only make several times the profit. Especially those antique calligraphy and paintings, it is more valuable, and the partial price is low.
The Turks took the money and asked for money for the hotel, right? It costs money to eat, right? Tickets also cost money, right? Add to that the bets, tsk tsk......
Thinking of Zhou Shaoyu's meaning, which was to eventually expand the arena into a super large arena that can accommodate more than 50,000 people, Ainul understood that he couldn't before, but now he was a little impatient, what does that mean? It means all kinds of small money!
Well, Ainur is now incarnated as a petty wealth fan, even if Zhou Shaoyu is the one who takes the lion's share.
After all, what if Ainur's team wins the first place in the end? As long as she can make money, it doesn't matter. Of course, if there is a choice, Ainul still hopes that his team will win, and under the dark operation, Ainul's team has not encountered any strong teams, and has also entered the top four.
"Oh, now is the last exhibition game before the game, which is the ball game that Shaoyu said, this year because the tribes still don't know, there is no event, during this time, there will be an exhibition game before each game, and it seems that the reverse is very good." Ainul introduced.
In the field, more than ten people from the two teams, around an elliptical sphere for scramble, in the blink of an eye into the melee, the ball is unknown, so each side sent a person directly for PK, who won who took the ball to continue, as long as the ball can be thrown into the opponent's hole, you can score, and the closer the goal, the higher the score, if you run directly with the ball, you can get the highest score of five points.
The girls looked confused, they don't think this thing has any good-looking meaning, it's just confused, it's just a ball, is it interesting?
Well, it turns out that ancient girls and modern girls are actually pretty much the same. To put it bluntly, there are several female fans in later generations who are real fans, basically pseudo fans, just to see handsome guys!
However, the problem is that now there are Turks on the field, and there are some differences, and the image is even worse, and I don't think it looks good after all. Then the last point that may be interesting is gone, not to mention, since she is already a wife of the Zhou family, she naturally will not mess with her thoughts, how can she be a reserved ancient girl.
Anyway, so far, there are no more senses other than feeling that the atmosphere is very lively. Even if you stay for a long time, as soon as the novelty passes, this kind of excitement also becomes noisy, which makes people a little impatient, and it is also a loss that you can't understand the Turkic language, otherwise those shouting unbearable words will only make the girls even more unable to stay.
"Hey, I thought Zhou Lang could come up with something so interesting, but it seems that it's just like this now, I really don't understand why those people are so crazy." Yan Lingbin sighed lightly, thinking that it was better to go back and read a few books.
This remark attracted the approval of many girls, but Wu Meiniang was an exception.
In fact, she also felt bored, but her head was more active, and she had more ideas, looking at the crowd shouting frantically in the arena, Wu Meiniang's eyes flickered, and she said in her heart, how is this not a kind of control of people's hearts?
At first, it was impossible to understand why Zhou Shaoyu did this, but now it seems that this move can not only make money, but also gradually change the habits of the Turkic people. Supplemented by a certain cultural output, this is a soft war!
