Du You's army surrounded the Tushita soldiers, Huang Shaodu turned around and fought to the death, and died with all four thousand subordinates, or were executed on the spot.

The left-behind streams in Xiyuan were also swept away by Tumen soldiers who defected to the Tang court. In addition, the Huangcheng Cave of the Huang family, the women, children, elderly and weak left behind were slaughtered and then robbed and set fire, leaving no tiles.

The other caves were arrested for 30,000 to 40,000, most of whom were women and children, and were escorted to Yongguan City.

Du You stood in the courtroom of Jingliu, scolding them, "You, the men in your family, do not think of good deeds, rise up and fight against the Tang Dynasty, kill and loot the provincial capital along the way, and the crime is unforgivable, and they are all wiped out. You are all broken ashes and embers, and you should have been executed, but as a shepherd guard, I have the responsibility of benevolent education, so I practice the strategy of "changing land and changing people":

From then on, people from all states in Xiyuan moved to Dongguan east of Guangguan, and Qin and Lian, and were the "shackle households" that we managed, and would never return to Xiyuan;

The fields of the Xiyuan prefectures were handed over to the united children of the chieftains of the various army, and divided and occupied according to the cheapest price, so as to be needed for the land to be stationed in the country.

When the group of prisoners were chosen to go east of Guangguan, they saw Jingguan in the pond.

The scene was so terrifying. More than 10,000 heads were all men in their respective caves, stacked up like a giant tower, standing on the side of the avenue, magpies flying all over the sky and coming to peck at the food... so that hundreds of people immediately died of wail and fear...

Pennsylvania, Annan and Liubei each erected a tall Pingman Monument to praise Gao Yue and Du You's great military achievements.

Lingnan and Annan have been pacified.

Du You has been in Guangguan since then, busy for a while, and he has also begun to build a mass exchange database, relying on merchants to build and issue paper currency to expand maritime trade: this is not a difficult task for Du You, a experienced official and cultural person.

In addition, Du You's vision began to fall in the south of the ocean farther away. He wanted to draw a chart and firmly grasp the greater interests.

After all, salt, gold and silver, sea merchants, and sugar are his four pillars.

Of course, before leaving, Gao Yue also reminded him that there were rice planted in the Kingdom of Rings, which was offered to Emperor Taizong, but it was unknown afterwards. It was a pity that this rice was resistant to water and drought, and could be ripened quickly. It could be planted in eastern and western Zhejiang, Jianghuai, Lingnan, Hunan, Eyue, and even in saline-alkali land by the sea. With the promotion of this rice, it could be ripened twice a year. In addition, the mixed rice and wheat seeds were mixed, and the yield was enough to innovate the previous generations.

So get this batch of rice seeds from King Huai’s mission or caravan as soon as possible.

In addition, Gao Yue tried his best to persuade Du You that the climate in Lingnan is most consistent with Annan and the King of the Rings, so in addition to removing evil and cutting, Lingnan can also vigorously cultivate the King of the Rings rice.

The rice obtained must have a lot of surplus, some of which can be brewed, and some can be loaded into Huaiyang, and re-exported trade.

In fact, Gao Yue was in the "half pit" Du You: If the rice branch was sent to Huaiyang in Lingnan, Gao Yue would be able to plant a large amount of cotton and mulberry trees in the management area, weave cotton cloth and silk with higher added value, and sell it overseas to make amazing profits.

But Du You was not stupid either. On the surface, he said good to Gao Yue, but he secretly sent civil servants to contact Wei Gao of Jiannan, saying that he was willing to pass the evil-cutting technology to Xichuan, and could import a large amount of rice in the future. The corresponding Xichuan would give me a large amount of tea and silk for my extensive management of trade in South China. In short, Du You would monopolize the sea trade in South China, and you Gao Yue’s Yangzhou sea trade in South China. In the future, we would not violate the rivers when we went to Silla and Fusang.

However, from Lingnan to Xichuan, the only route is to pass the Lingqu Canal under Guiguan, then pass the Xiangshui River, Dongting Lake, and then enter the Yangtze River to the capital of Shu.

Du You has to clear the spiritual channel!

Du You went to Hunan Observation Commander Li Xun.

Li Xun did not have enough financial and manpower to do this.

Du You couldn't draw so much power either.

Gao Yue, who finally returned to Yangzhou, learned about this and said that this road had a "digging army" who had just successfully dug the Jiming Bridge. At that time, 30,000 soldiers were recruited. Now, after the withdrawal, there were still 5,000 people who were proficient in civil engineering and were incorporated into the military ranks of the town garrison army. If you want to clear the spiritual canal, don't look for others. This road is willing to take over.

The last group of vassal towns were circling around, and they still had to find Gao Yue to do this.

But Gao Yue spoke up and said that dredging the Ling Canal was possible, but it had a price, and the high price was unbearable. Du You, who was a little angry, then asked Hunan Observation Commander Li Xun and Eyue Jiedushi Yan Zhen to discuss whether it could be borne by Fangzhen along the way. However, Li Xun, Yan Zhen and others did not let go. Anyway, they were already making a fortune by relying on the trade with Huainan, Liangzhe and Xuanshe. They lacked the motivation to open an additional business road to Lingnan, which made Du You helpless, so they turned their attention back to the sea route.

In this collision of back and forth, the direction of the whole world is quietly changing.

In fact, not only the political situation, but also the natural geography is changing.

On the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month, the Jingai Poe at the city of Zicheng, Yangzhou, held a grand dragon boat race. Gao Yue, who returned from triumphantly from Lingnan, asked the military mansion to set up a three-mile-long colorful shed along the water, and invited officials, generals and their families to come to see them. Not only were the 100,000 families in Yangzhou City gathered in fun and business, but even the people of the seven counties around were rowing boats along the water and land, and set up countless small sheds. They all wanted to see the dragon boat team that could make the first move this year.

The monks of Lianshui Temple also came in fear, claiming that when Duke Wei was expeditioning to the south, they prayed day and night to bless the divine power of Duke Wei.

Gao Yue was in a good mood, so he listened to his wife beside him, saying that all the monks would get up, and that they should not forget to pray for the people and soldiers of Huaiyang in the future. He said that Bi Zhihui came forward and gave each of the monks a piece of silk cloth.

Only then did these monks breathe a sigh of relief and know that they had passed the test.

After a while, the drums were loudly heard. As the people cheered like thunder, dragon boats were racing, chasing each other, without any relaxation, and extremely exciting.

"Qingqing, I think it's the students of the Martial Arts Academy who are good at being a hero." Yun Shao on the seat was very excited. Her little hand touched the rumbling icing Biluo, and was very confident - she had already taken a fancy to several young heroes and wanted to be a matchmaker for the daughters of the ranks of the palace, such as Cai Fengyuan, Guo Zaizhen and other families.

Gao Yue disagreed and said with a smile, "In my opinion, it is naturally the dragon boat of Silla Lang Zhang Baogao who is good at majesticism."

"I have my brother-in-law." Later, Yunhe also came to join the battle group.

Zhihui, who sat back, said, "Just take the winner as the first prize and take a try."

In the end, Yun Shao lost.

Because the student's dragon boat did not pay attention to the hydrology, he was trapped by the mud and sand accumulated by the riverside, which wasted time.

The onlookers made a pity.

But Gao Yue, who witnessed all this, was not as happy as winning money, and his eyebrows were faintly locked.

After nightfall, Gao Yue shook his palm-fried fan and told the reason in the military palace, when he was in the cold weather with Han Yu and other lawyers: "The Yangtze River is like a dragon waving its tail. I heard that the Buddhist temple on Guazhou in Jingkou had not yet been docked in the first twenty years. In recent years, it has gradually 'up' the south bank. The Jingjiang River seems to be getting narrower and narrower, and there are more Shazhou at the sea."

So today's competition, the dragon boat in the student shed is the victim.

"Will that mean... Yangzhou will not be in the sea in the future?"

Han Yu's answer made Gao Yue nod, and then he sighed, "The status of the canal transport hub in Yangzhou is still there, but the status of the port is almost gone."
