Yang Hongjin thought for a while, and also thought about the new pistol weapon that Jiang Hai had mentioned before. If the entire army was equipped with it, it might really have that power.
However, this idea was quickly overturned by himself. Didn't Jiang Hai say before that he had only made a few pistols, and the master craftsman destroyed them himself?
"Is this possible?" Yang Hongjin asked in disbelief.
"Choose, choose, choose. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Just think about how to take care of Darong in the future." Jiang Hai urged.
"Then, I choose to push it." Yang Hongjin said hesitantly.
"Tasteful," Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows. "Then it's settled. I'll go back to Binhai first. I'll sort out whatever needs to be prepared for you tonight. My people will come to see you in ten days."
"good."
Yang Hongjin responded with a "OK", but he still felt uneasy in his heart.
After finishing the discussion, Jiang Hai did not stay any longer. He would return to Xincheng tomorrow and had to catch up on the progress in the evening to write a plan for him. This damn overtime.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Hai took out a pen and paper and began to write down the things he needed to prepare while thinking.
I think in the capital, after what just happened, Yang Hongye still needs some time to arrange the funeral for the old emperor. After all, he needs to put on an act.
In addition to this matter, he had just seized the throne and needed some time to reorganize the court.
So for the time being, it should not be possible to take charge of Yuezhou’s affairs so quickly.
Moreover, if he wants to use Yuezhou as an excuse now, he must announce it to the world and make a name for himself.
Jiang Hai felt that it would take at least one or two months.
The most urgent task is to recruit people to work and make the city defenses as strong as an iron barrel just in case.
The second thing is to reorganize the existing military forces in Yuezhou. It is best to wait until the Xincheng Corps arrives before doing this.
"It seems that we need to build a cement plant here. It is too time-consuming and laborious to transport it from the new city." Jiang Hai said to himself.
"We need to retrieve the nearby mineral resources and see what can be used. This needs to be done quickly."
"Well, you can bring over some of the discarded armor. It's unlikely they'll be used much, so just keep it for show."
"Nanzhou and other nearby provincial capitals will be left alone for now. Once Yuezhou's defenses are in place, we can raise them and gather people."
"This imperial edict of succession can be helpful. At least it's based on the claim that he was responsible for murdering his father and seizing power. It's righteous enough to attract people."
…
Jiang Hai wrote and drew for a while before Yuchi Ziling returned to the room.
She was leaving tomorrow and went to talk to her sister. Guo Qianqian was also called by Yuchi Shuang to learn about the situation in the capital.
When she entered the room, she saw Jiang Hai writing something and talking to himself, looking very absorbed. She asked,
"What is Jiang Lang doing?"
"My wife is back and is making a rough plan for Lao Liu."
"What plan?" Yuchi Ziling took a closer look.
"Haha, rejecting Yang Hongye's plan can be considered as a plan of cooperation with our Xincheng." Jiang Hai laughed.
Yuchi Ziling probably understood a little bit of what she meant. Guo Qianqian had just mentioned the situation in the capital, and she could also guess that Yuezhou might be unstable in the future.
"Is it okay? I'm a little worried about Shuang'er."
"Don't worry, it's okay. I just want the people of Xincheng to come out. There's no need to hide it."
Seeing that Jiang Hai was confident, Yuchi Ziling nodded and did not disturb him from doing his work. She went to rest first.
The next day.
After giving the rough plan to Yang Hongjin, Jiang Hai and his team said goodbye and left Yuezhou, rushing back to Xincheng.
After Jiang Hai left, Yang Hongjin returned to his house and took a look at the plan. He was astonished.
"What? The city wall is raised twice as high? Is that even possible?"
"Add an iron gate outside the city gate, and widen and deepen the moat. This is quite a large project. Can we finish it in time?"
"Mineral information is easy. Just ask Lu Qian to find it."
"Recruiting people for labor? Corvée? No, it says they'll pay, and it's quite high. It shouldn't be hard to recruit them, but where will the money come from?"
…
Yang Hongjin looked at the fantastic plan and had a lot of question marks over his head.
In the end, he could only choose from them. He would quickly arrange people to implement the things that he thought he could do.
Seeing him scratching his head, Yuchi Shuang asked with concern,
"What happened, my lord?"
"Your brother-in-law gave it to me this morning before he left. How can these things be possible? It's too outrageous." Yang Hongjin pointed to the plan in his hand.
"What did my brother-in-law say? Since everything is listed, it must be fine."
"Princess, look, this one requires setting aside an area to build temporary housing that can accommodate 100,000 people.
It doesn't even say what it's for, and where would I get so much money for this these days?"
"There must be a reason why my brother-in-law did this." Yuchi Shuang trusted her brother-in-law unconditionally.
"..." Yang Hongjin was speechless. Couldn't he express his doubt without even thinking?
"Don't worry, Your Highness. From what I know about him, since he's allowed to make such an arrangement, he'll take care of the money issue. He's already very rich."
"How do you know he's rich?"
"I heard it from my sister. Anyway, I've never seen anyone richer than the Jiang family."
"How do you get rich?"
"He took my sister to the lake, where they could skip stones on the water. They really did. That's how you make money, I guess."
“…”
Yang Hongjin was speechless for a moment. Well, he is really a rich man. Then I will try my best to arrange it according to what he said.
Originally, Yang Hongjin wanted to save some money to make armor and weapons, but Jiang Hai told him that it was not necessary and he would bring them.
So, Yuezhou started to get busy after Jiang Hai left.
The main thing we did was recruit people to mine and build temporary houses.
Then Yang Hongjin quickly assembled his own team and screened out capable people.
There are many other things to do and they will have to wait for Jiang Hai and others to come over ten days later to deal with them.
…
A few days later, Jiang Hai and his group returned to Xincheng.
After returning home, he told his father that he was safe. During dinner, Jiang Hai talked to him about the affairs of the capital and Yuezhou.
"Dad, do you want to go to Yuezhou and help Lao Liu?"
"Even a dog wouldn't go. Don't bother me with the matter you took on yourself." Jiang Xiuyuan immediately refused.
Well, this cheap old man is addicted to showing off, and is even worse than me.
Jiang Hai didn't ask him any more questions and thought about who to bring with him.
After a while, Jiang Xiu came from afar,
"Just let Old Liu go. He spends every day in the county government office reading. Let him go and exercise."
"Okay." Jiang Hai smiled, and Master Liu was caught in the crossfire.
After dinner, we prepared to go to the military camp.
Today's martial arts is also in Jiang's house, very strange, Jiang Hai asked,
"Wu Gong, you've been running around the mansion quite a lot lately. Are you not staying in the barracks anymore?"
"Haha, I just come back occasionally." Wu Gong smiled shyly.
Jiang Hai looked at him meaningfully. There was something fishy going on. Would this guy send something to Hong'er again?
