In early autumn, Gao Yue was already standing on the hill on the west side of Funing Village. At his feet, the digging earth canals were introduced from the Wuding River to crisscross the surrounding areas of the city, cutting out large areas of fertile fields. The rice was not completely neat. They were clustered in clusters, with different directions, and interlaced. From a distance, they looked like golden fireworks, forming a strong contrast with the blue sky and the rosy white clouds, making people's eyes warm and relaxed.

The whole weather was windless, and many generals and soldiers were bent down, holding large and small sickles, carrying wheat cages, and rushing to the sky and earth to harvest rice into the warehouse.

This group of six governments surrendered in Funing Village was rare. They quickly learned rice farming under the guidance of Dingwu and Yining Army generals, and worked well. If they had a few more rounds of farming, they would probably have been fully adapted to this kind of agricultural life.

Not only Funing, under the leadership of Gao Yue, the deputy envoy of Yingtian, Wang Shao, personally took charge of the entire Baiyu Mountains and the east side, from Baibao River in Qingzhou to Funing, Baima River, Tuyan River, Dali River, Xiaoli River and Wuding River basins all used Qiang Tun to hang the fields and grazed, with remarkable results.

This area is the essence of agriculture and herdsmanship in the entire Baiyu Mountain. Now it falls into Gao Yue's hands. How can it not be used? As Gao Yue said in his memorial to the emperor: "Baiyu Mountain will be reunited for thousands of miles, with the most south of the mountain, and the Shandong will be easy to shed. Moreover, the Qiang people in the mountainous areas are strong and dare to fight. They can be harvested as cities, granted bows, arrows, good horses, and trained into Qiang troops. They will go to the front of our Tang Dynasty and dominate the Tang Dynasty. They are not worth worrying about."

Now Wang Shao has organized more than 20 Qiang Treasurys in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Suizhou and Yinzhou, collected six governments, surrendered to Lishi, and 130,000 men and women of the Dangxiang (of which 20,000 were registered in the book) and granted fields, cattle, farm tools and seeds, and harvested rice and wheat. 40% of the income belonged to the Duke and 60% of them belonged to him. In fact, he has turned into a "farming club slave" of the Tang family. Gao Yue secretly allowed the fine seal and Momo to build many "Emperor Heaven Temple" in the local area to attract the Qiang Treasurys to worship. Momo was very grateful and promised Gao Yue that "Duke Ji uses a sword to protect us, and we will repay Ji Gong with prayer."

Of course, spiritual conquest alone is not enough. Gao Yue has other operations to win people's hearts. He sent all the leaders of the Qiang Tun to the Qingzhou Academy to learn Confucianism, which formed an interesting phenomenon: the senior leaders in the Qiang Tun received Chinese education, while the lower classes began to believe in the Emperor and Heaven Sect. Gao Yue believed that this would make it difficult for the senior leaders and the lower classes to join forces due to differences.

Later, Gao Yue also taught Dangxiang to make wine. For a time, these Qiang people became popular to drink, and 60% of the harvest left behind were all used to make wine. In this way, they still had to rely on the input of Tang people on cotton, salt and other daily necessities. "Dangxiang in Qiang Village only needs to do four things, farming, animal husbandry, brewing, and working and fighting for my Tang." This is Gao Yue's goal.

At this time, a group of Dangxiang men and women knelt in front of Gao Yue, holding the harvested rice ears in their hands, and presented them to Jihou.

Gao Yue pulled out the fullest and plump one from it, and broke the husks hard. Then he saw that the grains inside were snow-white and put into his mouth, and a refreshing sweetness suddenly appeared.

"Funning's rice is so sweet and delicious as meat fat. In my opinion, it will be changed from here to Mizhi." In this way, Funing changed it to "Mizhi" in Gao Yue's mouth.

It is not enough to just plant rice and wheat to grazle horses. From Mizhi to the northeast, about 150 miles, Baiyuyu's remaining veins on the east side of the Shandong side went straight into the Yellow River. Fugu, which was across the river from the east of the river, ran across a Jialu Valley. This place produces good iron. Gao Yue used to build it as an iron official and migrated the Cannon Bureau and the Gun Bureau of Qingzhou here. In this way, forging cannon guns, arrows, armor, projectiles and other military weapons, no longer had to transport raw materials from Xingyuan and Qinzhou to a long distance.

At this time, Gao Yue simply invited Xiao Yi from Xingyuan Mansion and told him that Jialu's iron official, Mizhi's cannon gun bureau and arrow furnace were outsourced to merchants in Hedong.

Xiao Yi immediately accepted it. The merchants were very efficient in doing things. Soon, Huo Liang, a large Hedong family, was selected. Gao Yue promised that Jialu and Mizhi's furnace, shed, roads, and stations would all belong to you. The need for building the rear military weapons depends on you. There is no need to be taxed. The army directly pays money from the Dus Branch Office. In addition, you will also give you 1,500 Qiang households who specialize in forging. You can raise them according to the prescribed salary. They will work hard for you. The continuous manufacturing of military weapons is enough to make you profit. "After a cannon, ten thousand taels of gold" is not a false situation. The contract period is ten years. Ten years later, the government may take back the Jialu's smelting business and self-operating business. Of course, you or other large merchants can continue to operate, but taxes will be required after that.

After Huo Liang took action, he immediately hired people and drove Gao Yue to repair furnaces, cannons, guns, knives, molds, and lifting facilities. Not long after, the entire Jialu Valley was filled with red light and smoke. The base of military weapons was closer to Gao Yue's camp and more convenient!

Gao Yue was very proud of this. In the historical perspective, Shen Kuo also built a village in Mizhi and Jialu. However, Jialu Village had just been built for a year, with two thousand troops stationed and a hundred small sailors. The finance of the Hedong Transportation Department could not support it. The reason was that in order to protect Jialu Village, Song spent a lot of money to protect two heavy troops in Hedong and Fuyan. Then he had to transport grain and military pay for a long distance. In addition, the generals and generals were stationed everywhere to take the opportunity to embezzle, which made Song Shenzong have to consider abolishing other surrounding fortresses and only retain Jialu Village.

Faced with the dilemma, Lu Huiqing, the prefect of Taiyuan, said that he wanted to open up the source, so he said that Mizhi had 10,000 to 20,000 hectares of fertile land, which was called "Xietou Cang". We can recruit the people from Hedong and Fuyan to farm, and then harvest grain and support military supplies. The result is that? Recruiting people to camp the fields is expensive. In order to prevent the attack on the Western Xia plunder and harassment, we had to send troops to protect the farming. We were busy for a long time. In the end, the Hedong Transportation Department's report was still "not worth the expense". In the end, when the Yuanwu divides the border, he could only ced back to Xixia.

Gao Yue felt the stones of his descendants across the river. First of all, he did not need to build a city in Mizhi and Jialu. The former Dangxiang had helped him build it, and the latter had no military significance. The transportation was not good. Since he did not need to build a city, he did not need to send troops to station, and there was no burden. Secondly, he directly used the surrendered Dangxiang to charge 40% of the fields in Mizhi and had no other expenses except for the initial investment. Furthermore, he directly contracted the Jialu Iron Official Smelting Affairs to merchants without any investment.

"Yi Song, your model of Jialushi warehousing is the first to pioneer the world's trend!" Xiao Yi was very impressed by this.

"Brother Jing praised it. Jialu has good iron and is relying on water sources, so it can naturally be managed by merchants. As the saying goes, 'Poor women are hard to marry, but beautiful women are first', what innovation do I have?" Gao Yue replied.
