Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 42 Great Development ([-])

Cheng Cheng was silent, and raised his hands to look, as if he really saw countless blood and howls on these hands, and finally sighed heavily, and closed his eyes again.

After a while, Cheng Cheng asked aloud: "My lord, are you the family members of the last general?"

Zhao Jun turned around and strode out of the cell, "You should have been prepared."

A cold voice came from outside the cell, and Cheng Cheng closed his eyes again.

……

"Go, go back."

Walking out of Cheng Cheng's cell, Zhao Jun was about to go back. When passing by the cell of the three patriarchs, Chen Lixin, who was still huddled in the corner just now, suddenly asked:

"My lord, where is Li Xuanji?"

Zhao Jun stopped, and then answered him honestly: "It should be rectifying the remaining property of the family."

With just this sentence, Chen Lixin already understood what happened, closed his eyes in pain, staggered two steps and fell to the ground.

No wonder!No wonder!
No wonder the Li family, who was obviously about to be crushed to death by the dragon crossing the river from Feiyun Trading Company, escaped. No wonder the place where I traded was known to King Yun, no wonder I and others lost so badly!

turn out to be!It turned out that Li Xuanji was actually the ghost!

He betrayed all of them in exchange for the survival of his Li family. He really is a good teammate... a good teammate!
"No wonder others, it was you who gave up on him first, and he has no other choice but to seek refuge with this king."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jun continued to walk out of the cell and walked out of the dungeon. Zhao Jun finally looked back at the dungeon. This place represented all the past places of Yunzhou County. Let's bury it together.

Soon, what happened in Yunzhou County was written by Li Yi and submitted to Beijing, which also caused a lot of waves in the capital, but because of the evidence provided by Zhao Jun, it really showed that The four families still have evidence against Liu Xishan and Cheng Cheng, and gradually everything is settled.

Liu Xishan, the prefect of the county, and Cheng Cheng, the defense envoy, both of them are officials ordered by the court, but they know that they violated the law and discredited the court, resulting in a happy ending for the nine clans.

However, after some debate among the important court officials regarding the issue of new official supplements, it was finally decided that the candidates for these supplements should be decided by Zhao Jun, King Yun himself.

After all, from today onwards, the salaries of these officials will all be distributed by the King of Yun. In addition, the financial and military power of Yunzhou County has been completely owned by the King of Yun. After discussion, the imperial court will no longer interfere in the personnel affairs of Yunzhou County. Appointment and dismissal, everything Zhao Jun, King Yun, can handle by himself.

In this way, Zhao Jun successfully won the real control of Yunzhou County.

And began to make drastic reforms to the entire Yunzhou County according to his own ideas!

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed by.

Zhao Jun is also in his twenties, and Yunzhou City, which was a simple and unsightly city five years ago, has undergone earth-shaking changes!

The simple earthen wall has disappeared, replaced by a tall and majestic gray-white city wall!
The four-foot-high city wall towering over the grassland is daunting, giving the people in the city a strong sense of security, and giving the city's enemies a deep sense of despair and powerlessness.

Walking into the city, the original narrow and dilapidated dirt road main road has disappeared.

Pieces of smooth blue bricks paved a wide main road four feet wide enough for three carriages to drive side by side with room to spare. The houses along the road were no longer five-year-old mud houses or thatched houses. , but unified into a small cement bungalow of the same shape.

On both sides of the street, there are many pedestrians, people enter on the right and exit on the left. Everyone actively avoids the middle, and carriages come and go on the road in an orderly manner.

This is just the most common street. If you go into the city, you can see the most prosperous scene in Yunzhou County when you come to the most lively east and west cities in Yunzhou City.

On both sides of the wide and straight road, there are various shops lined up one after another, and all kinds of guises fluttering in the wind remind people of the things they represent the shops to manage.

Horse-drawn carriages and people flowed in parallel on the street. The people entering the city were purchasing all kinds of supplies they needed, and the hawkers placed their stalls in the planned places to sell some of their own special products.

From time to time, there is a team of Marquis Wu patrolling the streets, shuttling through the crowd, dealing with various disputes that occurred in the two cities and ensuring the order on the streets.

Walking through the streets, surrounded by the sound of customers and merchants bargaining, inhaling slightly, the tempting smell of various snacks on the street is mouth-watering.

Everything in Yunzhou City is very different from five years ago.

As for the changes that have occurred, as long as the locals of Yunzhou County know why.

Five years ago, His Royal Highness King Yun ruled Yunzhou County, counted out the four masters, cleaned up the corrupt officials who did nothing in the yamen, and gathered all the green-skinned hooligans in the city who had nothing to do and fought all day long into Yunzhou in the army.

Since then, His Royal Highness King Yun, who holds the power of the entire Yunzhou County, has led nearly [-] people in Yunzhou County to run desperately on the bustling road!

In the first year, Feiyun Commercial Bank invested heavily in Yunzhou County. With the huge investment, various industries came into being. The generous salary made the people in the county very excited. Great rewards.

Compared with other land boundaries of the Great Song Dynasty, Yunzhou County has an advantage that other places cannot compare to. After the survey by the experts of Feiyun Trading Company, the entire Yunzhou County has various rich minerals, or the grasslands have rich mineral resources. mineral resources.

It's just that no one cared about it before, or the tribes on the grassland didn't have smelting technology at all, even if they found it, they could only watch helplessly.

In this way, large open-pit mines were officially mined, including copper, iron, silver, coal and even a small amount of gold.

Coupled with the iron-making workshops blooming everywhere in Shangyunzhou County, the amount of iron smelting in Yunzhou County has increased significantly this year.

Feiyun Commercial Company improved its iron smelting technology. Blast furnaces were erected one after another, and thick black smoke was emitted outside the North City all day long, but a large amount of iron materials were produced following it.

Originally, the annual iron production of Yunzhou County would not exceed 18250 jin, and most of it was imported from the customs. With the mining of ore and the iteration of iron smelting technology, the annual iron production of the entire Yunzhou County is impressive. Reached a terrifying [-] tons!
The ten blast furnaces in Yunzhou County can produce as much as [-] jin of iron every day!

The iron in Yunzhou County began to be sold in large quantities to the customs through the channel of Feiyun Commercial Bank.

But then there was a problem, the ore was not enough!
It's not that there is no iron ore in the mine, on the contrary, the iron ore reserves in the entire Yunzhou County are incredibly rich, at least based on the current amount of iron making in Yunzhou County, it will not be used up in hundreds of years.

But the problem now is that there are not enough people to mine iron ore.

Yunzhou County is a sparsely populated place, and the total population of the entire county does not exceed [-]. Now, excluding those necessary grain-producing populations who still have to graze, a large number of laborers have already poured into the iron In the mines and iron smelting workshops, the entire Yunzhou County has no redundant labor.

How to do this?

Zhao Jun looked to the north.

In the second year, the Sheriff's Mansion issued a reward, and each captive returned to Yunzhou County to sell a Tatar young man to the Sheriff's Yamen in exchange for ten taels of silver!
At that time, the annual income of a herdsman was less than 20 taels.

Rich benefits drive people's hearts.

Especially those tribal leaders in Yunzhou County who already have people under their hands are drooling over this reward offer!
After the reward came out, all major ironmaking workshops in Yunzhou County received large orders.

Except for the iron armor, which was prohibited from being made due to the ban, all major tribes placed orders one after another.

Arrows, machetes and other weapons were ordered in large quantities.

After paying a certain price to replace the tribal weapons, a group of tribal leaders led their tribal people screaming and crossed the border and rushed to the grassland in the north!
