After passing Purun, crossing the bamboo bridge over Daxichuan, you will reach Baili City, Jingzhou.

Many Jingyuan Sheshi soldiers who used to camp with Gao Yue heard that Gao Yue came to the city to support the elderly and young, cross the long ridges of fields, kneel down on the side of the road, holding corn and vegetables, and dedicate them to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue raised his hand immediately and signaled not to use it.

"I don't want Gao Yin to win people's hearts like this." Ju Wenzhen said.

Before Gao Yue could be humble, the Marshal of Longyou in Baili City, King Pu, took his entourage out of the city to greet him.

For a time, the most powerful local officials in the entire court, the most popular royal family and the most powerful nobles in the forbidden area gathered together, shocking the entire Jingyuan. As for Xing Junya and others who later led a large number of Shen Ce soldiers to pay homage, it was really not worth mentioning.

Baili City is no longer the same as before. After Xing Junya took office, he expanded the circle and added flag pavilions, horse faces and buildings. But even so, when Gao Yue saw the familiar viewing tower in the inner city, the straight thoroughfare, the mansions on both sides, the towering beacon towers, the inner city walls and the gates on the east and west sides, his eyes were still warm.

After all, it is the place where he has shed sweat and devoted his efforts!

"Go to the riverside to inspect the construction of the military city, and be happy. Be sure to lead Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang has never seen the big river yet..." After nightfall, Bailicheng put the "Longyou Marshal's Mansion" in the originally expanded public office. At the banquet, when the silk and bamboo were in a mess, and when the face was hot, Pu Wang hugged the charming beautiful girl, with a round neck in her white middle clothes exposed. He laughed and made this request to Gao Yue and Ju Wenzhen.

"Brother-in-law." At this time, King Pu's concubine Cui Yunshang sat enthusiastically opposite Gao Yue's seat, pouring wine for him.

Gao Yue kept talking about Qu Amei.

"What's the point of being unyielding? Baili City is just so big. I came here to leave the town. After Gao Yin built a military city and cleared the water transportation, it was time to go back to Beijing." King Pu looked at Gao Yue's eyes at this time, and suddenly showed a hint of envy and unwillingness. When Ju Wenzhen's eyes turned to him, he became unruly and took the opportunity to yell at Gao Yue: "Xiao Wang and Gao Yin are not divided into internal and external. My concubine is yours. Let Yun Shang sleep for you tonight. Life is in this world, but only the matter of mellow wine and beautiful women."

"Nothing." Gao Yue calmly refused.

Unexpectedly, King Pu laughed even more happily, saying Gao Yue, you look down on Azang from a Qiang family, but don’t mind, there is a custom of “wife and sister” in the Qiang people in Longyou, let alone Azang warms you all night. After all, she is nominally the daughter of the Cui family in Shengpingfang.

Gao Yue was embarrassed by this.

Just when Ju Wenzhen was about to persuade King Pu seriously, a burst of screams rang out: The unhappy Cui Yunshang, also known as Azang, immediately raised the wine pot, came to the top of King Pu's head, and then poured the wine down, making King Pu's face full of his head...

Two days later, the drunk King Pu was still swaying on the horse's back. Cui Yunshang followed him with a bow and arrow on his back. They finally got permission to follow Gao Yue and Ju Wenzhen.

Then they passed through Liangyuan City and then went to Huating. At this moment, the entire Huating City was also being expanded. Xuanwu's army had been discontinued from the autumn defense mission. Under the leadership of Liu Chang and Li Wanrong, they returned to the town. Gao Yue transferred a thousand generals from the Yining Army to be responsible for the project.

The entire Tiehua Mountain was surrounded by white smoke from the three-dimensional soil. Ju Wenzhen and Pu Wang pointed at the horse whip and asked how Gao Yue defeated Shang Jiezan on both sides of the river. Gao Yue answered one by one. The two of them burst into marvels from time to time, as if a thrilling battle appeared in front of them.

Then he left Huating and passed the so-called Tongshan Mountain. When he arrived in Zhangxin County, Ju Wenzhen saw that there were red lines of mineral veins radiating among the stone cliffs of Tongshan. The copper ore excavated in nature had only one primitive color, that is, red: between the foothills and the high platforms, there were mine caves like human mouths. A shed was built with wood outside, and miners carrying bamboo baskets were in and out like ants. Along the sandy road on the side of the mountain, many workshops and houses at the foot of the mountain were surrounded by a huge copper furnace, and the flames stained half of the mountain wall.

Through the wooden fence, Ju Wenzhen saw that beside the copper furnace, many craftsmen placed tin-cast coin molds and crucibles on the ground and were casting copper coins there.

The copper coins produced in Tongshan, Qinzhou are called "Xingyuan Tongbao". The outline of the coins is roasted black by fire and used for anti-counterfeiting, also called "fire lacquer coins" - Gao Yue told Ju Wenzhen that there are thirteen copper furnaces in Zhangxin County, Qinzhou, and can cast more than 17,000 stags of new coins every year. The cost of minting for servants, material costs and fuel costs is exactly the same as that of new coins.

Even if you don't make money, it's still very meaningful to do this:

Because for the Tang Dynasty at that time, the cost of minting coins in Xuanzhou was two coins for each minusculation of money. However, even so, in order to alleviate the "money shortage" that made the society painful, the Tang government still had to cut the money to minus coins to ensure the ever-inflating commodity economy needs.

Therefore, after the cost of the coin minting furnace in Qinzhou and Shangzhou was completed, the cost could reach one-to-one with the new money, which was already a joyful thing for the emperor.

After climbing Tongshan, you will pass Zhimoyuan and Panyuan. The wilderness is Pingliang City to the west, and the Qingshiling to the east is Lianyunbao and Jingzhou City.

"What a pity, it's great to use it to make a big horse stadium!" In the sunset, looking at the beautiful scenery of the field, Pu Wang sighed, but his idea was impossible to realize - now several Qiang Tuns have been set up here to support the horse yard. There are thousands of war horses in it, all of which are horses bought by the emperor from the Uighurs, and they are all poked with flying dragon seals. Now they are in groups of three or three, lowering their heads in the grass. After waiting for a month, the horses can stop the material and put green, gallop freely among the cliffs and fields of Jingyuan, and can develop a strong body before autumn and winter.

After passing Panyuan, you will enter Xiaoguan Road, which is sandwiched between Liupan Mountain and Ziwu Ridge, and the Hulu River is in the center. After the river leaves Baicao City, it is renamed Weiruchuan until it flows into the Yellow River.

Finally, Ju Wenzhen and King Pu saw it. From the sand castle to the Shuangmao, there were all full of Shence soldiers who were guarding the defense, Fengxiang, and the strong men who were summoned by Xingyuan. The sound of logging sounded across the sky, and trees kept falling down in their sight. Then after simple cutting, the branches were removed and rows of logs were formed, pulled by the ox that kept calling, and then threw them into the Hulu River. Each ten logs were tied into a raft, with various iron tools tied to the raft, flowing down the north, rising and floating, and heading towards Feng'an Military City at the mouth of the river.

Looking at this scene, everyone was full of enthusiasm and simply left the guard of honor, rode several times, followed the logs in the surging river, and rushed to the vast north.
