Yellow sand rolled, and a long team meandered across the Loess Plateau north of Yanzhou.
Zhao Muyun's trip to Yanzhou was initially just to save Bai Ruolan and protect her from the rebels.
However, by accident, we established a good cooperative relationship with Yanzhou.
The coal resources of Yanzhou were jointly developed, and Du Wei, the commander of the Yanzhou Zhechoufu, also sent all the refugees who had drifted to Yanzhou to Yinzhou.
When Zhao Muyun left Chenjiazhuang, in addition to twenty scouts including Li Si and Wang Tiezhu, as well as Bai Ruolan, Chunxiang and five injured guards of the Bai family, there were more than two thousand homeless refugees from Dayin.
Zhao Muyun also handed over the captured Li Runjin and the rebel leader Zhang Hong to Du Wei, the commander of Yanzhou Zhechoufu.
Du Wei wrote a report overnight on these two people and more than 100 rebels who were killed and submitted it to Tian Zun, the governor of Xijing in Guannei Road.
As for what Tian Zun felt, it is unknown.
This time, Zhao Muyun seemed to be in a superior position in front of Dewey. He used his military exploits to please Dewey in exchange for the mining of Qiwu Mountain coal and the refugees of Yanzhou.
However, from a higher perspective, Zhao Muyun is in a sure win situation.
The coal from Qiwu Mountain has always been in Yanzhou's territory. Zhao Muyun's cross-border operations will always put him in a passive state.
It is already very good to be able to strive for joint development with Yanzhou.
In addition, Zhao Muyun handed Li Runjin and Zhang Hong over to Du Wei, even though he did not benefit from it at all.
But in the eyes of the rebel leader Li Jingang, his brother and his men fell into the hands of Yanzhou.
Du Wei, the commander of the Yanzhou Zhechoufu, had to fight the rebels to the death.
With Yanzhou as a buffer zone, Zhao Muyun can rest assured in Yinzhou and does not have to worry about the impact of the Xiazhou rebellion on his infrastructure construction and development of power in Yinzhou.
On the contrary, with the coal from Yanzhou and the transfusion of refugees, Yinzhou will only get better and better.
Chen He, the head of Chenjiazhuang, gave Zhao Muyun and his party a lot of gold, silver, and money to express his gratitude when they left.
This time, Zhao Muyun can be said to have returned with a full load.
The team marched along the south bank of the river.
Of the two thousand refugees from Dayin, five hundred went to the Qiwushan Coal Mine to mine coal, and the remaining fifteen hundred followed Zhao Muyun to cross the river to the north and entered Yinzhou.
After three days of travel, the group arrived at the Yinzhou Prefecture camp.
Seeing so many laborers coming, Han Zhong and Lin Feng couldn't stop smiling, while Zhao Wen and Kuishu became worried.
There are so many people, but they need to eat!
Zhao Muyun couldn't take care of so many things for the time being.
"Miss Bai, don't go back to Shuozhou for the time being. How about you stay in Yinzhou now?"
Entering the Yinzhou Prefecture camp, Zhao Muyun found Bai Ruolan and her servant. "I will arrange a separate camp for you. You don't have to do anything every day. Your guards can just rest here and recuperate."
"Brother Zhao, what should I do? How about you arrange some things for me to do?"
Bai Ruolan walked and looked around all the way from Yanzhou to Yinzhou, and also chatted a lot with Zhao Muyun.
When she learned that Zhao Muyun was mining coal with Du Wei in Yanzhou, she was deeply shocked.
From the moment Zhao Muyun rescued her outside Shuozhou City, her impression of Zhao Muyun was that of a small soldier in the border army. She thought Zhao Muyun was extremely powerful and brave.
But I never expected that Zhao Muyun was so comprehensive that he actually knew how to mine coal, develop the economy, and strengthen his strength.
The way Zhao Muyun cooperated with Yanzhou in coal mining and the degree to which he valued population surprised Bai Ruolan, who was good at business calculations.
How could a general in command of a military force imagine this?
With such a far-sighted plan, Zhao Muyun has become a high-ranking official who is well-versed in military, political, and financial aspects.
When Bai Ruolan entered Yinzhou and saw the crisscrossing fields of the Zishui River Valley, the bustling Yinzhou city and the prototype of its defense system, the blacksmith workshop built by the river, the fine salt refining workshop, and the soldiers who had been released from their work and were undergoing intense and high-intensity military training, she couldn't help but sigh deeply.
What Zhao Muyun was planning was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
A Zhechoufu built on ruins, a group of soldiers and refugees gathered from all over the place, unexpectedly turned decay into magic under the leadership of Zhao Muyun, and are writing a new chapter for an important border town.
Bai Ruolan had to admit that the Yinzhou Prefecture that Zhao Muyun had put all his efforts into building was constantly surpassing the Shuozhou Prefecture.
Yinzhou Prefecture does not keep idle people!
Bai Ruolan immediately asked Zhao Muyun to assign him something to do.
"you?"
As soon as he came back, Han Zhong, Lin Feng, Shi Gang, Zhao Wen, Pei Liao, Huan Kui, Tang Yanhai and others came to report on their work one after another, and Zhao Muyun was so busy that he was a little overwhelmed.
Now it seems that Bai Ruolan has come to cause trouble again. Zhao Muyun is a little confused and even a little impatient.
Miss Bai has been pampered and grew up in a merchant family. What can she do?
"It's normal for Brother Zhao to doubt that a woman like me has no talent. Maybe you just don't understand me." Bai Ruolan felt a hint of rejection from Zhao Muyun, but she was not angry. Facing Zhao Muyun's doubts, she smiled and said.
"Mr. Zhao, are you underestimating our young lady? You may not know that our young lady is quite capable! She is the sole administrator of all the Bai family's businesses."
Chun Xiang certainly couldn't bear to see her young lady being looked down upon, so she immediately stood up to speak up for Bai Ruolan.
What?
Zhao Muyun always thought that the young lady of the Bai family was like a canary, raised in the deep courtyard of the Bai family, learning some needlework and music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and marrying a young man from a noble family or a family of equal status in the future, through a marriage of strength.
