Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 742 The northern tribes of the Liao Kingdom ceased fighting, and the army entered Liao (first update)
Chapter 751

"It makes sense. Nowadays, there are not many experienced cotton growers, and there are very few practitioners who pick cotton and make cotton fabrics. Wan Mou sent people to search around, and now they can't find less than a hundred families. ...By the way, by the way, I also want to ask you, brother, can these people settle down here?"

When Wang Yang heard this, he naturally had no problem, and pointed to Gao Li beside him. "There is no problem at all whether they want to settle in Yanzhou, Hongzhou, or Youzhou. Brother Xiude is currently responsible for these matters. You can just ask Brother Xiude directly."

Drinking wine and eating delicacies, the highly interested Gao Lian immediately smiled and nodded in agreement when he heard this. "Of course there is no problem. Our three states are short of people everywhere. If you are willing to settle down, the more the better."

"Speaking of which, the population of our three states now is only more than 35, plus the previous Han people, it is still in the early 40s. This is pitifully small in my Song Dynasty. Increasing the population is the most important task of our tri-state right now."

While chatting and drinking, someone hurried over. Wang Yang turned his head and saw Wu Qilang leading an official walking towards this side.And this official is the person in charge of the intelligence office arranged by Wang Yang.

Wang Yang's heart moved, and after saying hello to the people around him, he left his position and walked over.

"The next official first congratulates your lord on the double happiness. This is a presumptuous visit. I didn't come to prepare anything for a while..." The official rubbed his hands with some embarrassment.

"Okay, I'm just happy to let the big guys come over to relax. Why did you come here so late?" Wang Yang smiled and said to the official.

This person's surname is Zhang Minglun. He was originally a follower of Xueshi Su. He was quick-witted and Xueshi Su relied heavily on him. Wang Yang.

I have to say that both Gao Qiu and Zhang Lun are excellent talents. At least the start-up intelligence agency is complicated, but Zhang Lun never complained. He also took care of the initial information center in an orderly manner, which made Mr. Wang very gratified.

It seems that if I am short of people in the future, I will continue to look for Su Xueshi. After all, this old driver has been famous for decades. Countless talents in the Song Dynasty regard him as an idol. Often when Su Dongpo is an official in a certain place, There will always be a lot of young talents rushing over to join him, even if Su Xueshi doesn't want to take him in, as long as he can see this old driver and occasionally have a few words, it is enough to make these people excited.

And Su Dongpo would occasionally choose one or two people who liked him as his followers. For these people, they were so happy that they almost trembled. It was definitely a great honor to be able to serve their idols.

Just like this Zhang Lun, he was reluctant to leave Master Su at first. Later, Master Su personally persuaded Zhang Lun and then Zhang Lun agreed to go to Yanzhou to take up his post.

"Just after my official was about to rush over, a batch of information happened to be delivered from the capital. When I was just sorting it out, my official found that a few pieces of information were a bit strange, which even delayed the time..."

"What information?" Wang Yang motioned Zhang Lun to go in with him, and asked curiously.

"That's information from Beiliao. The tribes that had been fighting each other in the north of Beiliao temporarily stopped their conflict for some reason, and they also sent their own soldiers and horses to the city of Zhongjing via Liaoyang Mansion on Dongdong Road in Beiliao. Dading Mansion, five days before the information was sent out, [-] cavalry were dispatched from Shangjing, Beiliao to the south, heading for Xijing Road..."

Zhang Lun said this, but suddenly found that Wang Jinglue stopped at some point, seemed to be distracted, squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

"My lord, this is..."

"Oh, it's okay. Are you saying that the northern tribes of Bei Liao actually stopped fighting, and all tribes sent troops and horses straight into the hinterland of Liao Kingdom?" Wang Yang showed a smile, and continued to move forward, facing Zhang Lun confirmed the previous topic.

Zhang Lun nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's why the lower officials find it strange. Logically speaking, those northern barbarians and the Beiliao have always been on very strict guard, and in order to prevent the tribes from getting bigger, they often deliberately provoked fights between them, making it impossible for them to fight against each other. Sit big, but for some reason, they are allowed to form a large army and march along the rich land of Beiliao..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic now. You should drink and eat meat first. You should continue to pay attention to this matter. If there is any information on this aspect, you should gather them together and we will talk again when we have time." Walking to the desk, Wang Yang signaled Zhang Lun to sit down, then called Wu Qilang, and whispered a few words to him, Wu Qilang understood and walked away quickly.

In the middle of the night, after the guests and friends at the banquet had dispersed, Wang Yang went to the inner courtyard, comforted the three daughters well, and then rushed to the study.In the study room, a very abstract map of the Northern Liao Dynasty had already been spread out.

Looking at this freehand and blank map, Wang Yang felt like a rigorous performance artist who heard that the Body Art Gallery is opening today, and rushed over excitedly with his belt in hand.

It turned out that what was on display today was either Fauvism or Abstract Body Art Exhibition, which made the performance artist very angry. I took off my pants, so why the hell will you show me this?
But the problem is, although Wang Yang has the vision of an artist, at least he has not forgotten his own job. No matter how ugly the painting is, Wang Daguan must use his strong imagination and mind to draw It smashed and reorganized to construct a more realistic map.

First of all, open the cabinet in the study room, take out a wooden box with a lock, unlock it, take out a three-foot-square silk cloth inside, and then slowly spread it out under the lamp, revealing a This is a map full of handwriting and various winding lines. This is Wang Yang not long after the beginning of his time travel. He tried his best to draw a rough map of China in the 21st century according to his own memories.

Although it is not as professional as the mechanical map of the 21st century, and it also lacks a large number of place names, mountains and rivers.But at least, its realism and intuitiveness far exceed the maps of this era.

Wang Yang relied on the basic original map here, and then compared it with the very abstract map of Daliao. Then he took a piece of rice paper and filled in and corrected the map of Northern Liao in front of him little by little. At least Wang Yang doesn't think he can connect this abstract map with the great rivers and mountains he knows from his own map perspective.

It took Wang Yang nearly two hours of hard work to roughly determine the approximate locations of nearly thirty large and medium-sized cities in the Liao Kingdom.
